Editor Morning NelCS: / notice in your
Sunday issue, and, indeed, in two or three
issues before, that some writer, ignoring
entirely the claims and capacity of the
other candidates for the Office ofOrdinary,
made vacant by the death of the Hon.
John o. FerrilI, layishes the most fulsome
praise on his brother, Mr. Hampton L.
Ferrill, one of the candidates for the
vacancy. Now, have the highest regard
for him and am not the only one who has
the kindliest feeling for him, for, 1t is well
known, that he is general faY0rite
amongst those who know him; but, when
the writer says he is the only one competent
to fill the office; that his brother started
the work of the Ordinary's Office; that he
Hampton L. Ferrill) is the only one that
can wind up the business OF the office
{ Is the business ever wound up?) that
if he Hampton l.. Ferrill) Is not retained
the community will be ruined.
l must beg this too anxious friend to
pause and consider that his assertions
may lack the most important ingredient
to make it worthy Of notice, to wit,
TRUTH. The writer, as / have
said, ignores entirely the other eX-
cellent gentlemen who are competitors
for the office. He forgets that Judge
O'Byrne once filled this Office with credit
to himself and the approval of our whole
community, and left it, when removed by
the reconstruction act, without the slight
est stain upon his character. Judge
O'Byrne was Ordinary before and during
the whole of the war, beng detailed from
the Savannah Volunteer Guards to enable
him to fill that office; and when your cor
respondent praises the manner and sys-
TEN in which the books and records
Of the Ordinary's office are kept,
he should recOllect that this
manner and system was handed down by
the predecessors of the late Ordinary, and
that no change has been made since. 81"
must also recollect that the office of Ordi-
nary does not belong to one family, nor is
it hereditary.
The very fact that Mr.. Ferrill has
enjoyed the emOluments of the office so
long is one of the prime reasons why he
should be satisfied, and gracefully give
place to one of the worthy gentlemen who
oppose him.
To say that Mr.. Ferriu is the only one
who is fit to fill the office is absurd and
nonsensical. In the first place Mr.. Fer
ril was only a clerk under his lamented
brother, and is not cOnyersant with law,
and surely would find himself in a very
awkward position If an intricate will
case should come before him, where emf
nent legal gentlemen should appear on
either side, cOntesting inch by inch every
proposition advanced by the opposite
side, and when he would be called upon
at every step to decide some abstruse
point Of law.
] must say, in due Difference to the
worthy gentlemen who are candidates for
the vacancy in the office of Ordinary, 1 do
not think any one should fill that most
important Office except a lawyer, and a
good one too, for there is almost, if not
quite, as much need for a lawyer in that
office as there is for one on the bench of
the Superior Court. JUSTICE.

Much Ado About Nothing.

The above heading Of our advertisement
is quotation in one of Shakespeare's
plays. But we take the liberty of using
it in reference to all this foul advertising.
For instance, one will claim he is selling
bel0lC cost, and the other he or they are
the largest clothing house in the city, or,
in other words, as much as to say will
give you their goods and give you a
basket to carry them away in, and all
such blowing, which does not amount to
a row of pins. We can not afford to give
our goods, nor sell them at cost, for. we
must live. But our past reputation for
fair and honest dealing guarantees our
future. 1t is true we advertise, and that
extensively, but do not say more than we
can justly come up to. We only adver-
tise to let the public knew we are still
alive and in the Clothing and Gents
Furnishing Goods business. B. III. Levy

Orr GenreatiOn's Changes.

There are thousands of people
living in this country to-day who
never expected slavery and other
fixed institutions to be brought to
an end in their day and genera
ton Those wrongs to down
trodden race were deemed invinci-
BILE, but yet one generation has
seen them blotted ont, and now
the present one sees just as great
evils confronted with an army just
as strong as any that ever waged
war for the benefit of the Cypress
ed. Change is written everywhere.
The ills and woes of mankind are
claiming attention, and the coming
generation can erect the monument
over many of the fourishing evils
of today. In no profession is there
more advancement being made
than in the science of medicine.
Physicians are learning to practice
common sense as we'll as medicine.
They are beginning to prescribe
Peruna for large number of the
complaints of mankind, and with
astonishing success. They should
keep on in the good work and the
end is assured. Send for the book
on the "Ills of Life,' and for a bot
tie of Peruna, to DR.. S. B. Hart
man & Co., Columbus, Ohio.

An Earthquake Shakes the
country.

On Sunday afternoon last about
two o'clock the shock of an earth
quake was felt from Warrington to
Main and west to Ohio ranging
from 80 to 40 seconds as tolOcalities.
Strong buildings trembled, people
in some places were thrown down,
furniture was upset, mirrors and
crockery was broken, One man in
Connecticut was scared to death,
many women in different places
tainted. Prisoners in the different
jails and penitentiaries became
much alarmed. Bells in church and
engine house towers rang ont lively.
Horses in the city and country ran
away, Confusion and cOnstera-
ton were depicted on many pale
faces aud the colored people were
much alarmed; men and women
rushed into the treets of different
cities and towns crying Save U.S.
Save u.s. The rum blings and
tumblings panic-struck the people
in the different States in which the
shocks were felt. The theories
advanced by scientists are many.
We have not space for definite
particulars.
