THE PROBATE JUDeEsHIP.

There Ia no officer to be elected at the fall
election of more importance to the people
than the Judge of the probate court. To prop
erly fill this office, the incumbent should
have the most irreproachsble character for
integrity and %uprightness that Is An essential
to every Office holder; he should be q sound
lawyer, for questions Of great intricacy and
requiring thorough knowledge of the law are
constantly arising, needing prompt and accu-
rate judgment; he should be q quick, neat
and ready penman. 70 - to transact his busi-
ness without delay on the part Of those hav-
Ing business in his court, and keep his rec
ords clear and easy of comprehension; he
should be Industrious, courteous and atten-
tive always at his post. ready to serve and &C.
commodate the public, with hts books and
papers m~ethodically kept, 50 that business
may be transacted with dispatch and s~atisfac-
tion. These qualifications with many others,
are possessed In an eminent degree. by our
present judge. the Hon. Xenophon Ryland,
and are not only possessed by him but practi-
cally exercised by him In the daily discharge
OF the duties of his Office.
Judge Ryland was appointed to fill that
pawn 0AGAP1S0 llWc VI 0uOSc dOCuS
term intervening between Judge Hord's death
and the next general election. The election
this fall is for the remainder Of Judge Hord's
term. By all rules of political custom and
courtesy Judge Ryland should be ele cted to
ill that fractional term, provided he has de-
meaned himself well and faithfully in office
under his appointment, and this we presume
no n will deny.
Beside this, Judge Ryland deserves re-
membranee at the hands Of his party. He
has worked long and diligently in the demo-
cratic ranks, not only in our local n county
canvasses, but has given his time. influence
and voice in assisting in canvassing our con-
gressionsl district and the state at large; and
this is the first time his valuable services
have ever had any substantial recognition.
We then will not only be doing honor to
ourselves, but q deserved justice to a jealous
and worthy lsborer In our party, by voting
that Judge Ryland shall fill out that term
upon which he has commenced, and WHOSE
duties he has discharged with such commend.

COLLECTION OF COUNTY REVENUE.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-A correspond
ent of the I%ntelligeneer from HiRginsville,
whose mind must be analytical, became i'm
pre- =sed by the roundabout, burdensome and
irrational method now practiced in the col
lection and disbursement Of public moneys,
and suggested q remedy. He saw the people
paying the money to q collector, the collec-
tor paving it to a treasurer, and this treasurer
to q banker, who realized large profits by
loaning out q great portion Of it, so he (the
correspondent reasoned that since the bank
money "gratuitously," why not rub out
two expensive Offices and put the bank to the
trouble of collecting the money in dribs, in
compensation for the benefit enjoyed thereby.
The Lexington Register believes to entrust
banks with such functions would establish q
':monarchisl' form Of government. So to main.
tain dem ocratic institutions according to this
hew all the wood, draw all the water, foot
all the expenses, then carry both wood and
water to the banker to warm and battle In
afiuence. g.
We pointed out, in answer to the cores
pondent above alluded to, why we thought ii
would be unwise, n very much more ex-
pensive than now, to place the collection and
disbursement of our county revenue in the
hands of q bank. We do not think it necessary
to repeat those reasons here. We are as
much in favor Of judicious economy as our
our friend sc" can be, but how can he ex-
pect to arrive at correct conclusions from
such loose and unwsrranted premises as
lays down: No bank either collects or dis
burses the county revenue any more than 1t
makes and spends "G's" money. If there is
a surplus kept on land at all. that banks may
profit by, it is because Of the fact that
the county must be prepared to buy IN Its old
incorporated bonds whenever it can, and
a little cash has enabled it to do so on very
advantageous terms. Herein sums have
been saved BY having faithful agents OF the
part of the county way beyond and above
their salaries. Banks would have been
looking out for their commissions, not the
eounty's interests. That Is their business. II
anybody Is paid too much, the right thing to
do IL to curtsil his salary or emoluments, but
We can see no wisdom in the suggestion to
turn over the collection and disbursement OF
the county revenue to q bank.

WANTS AN EARLIER PRIMARY.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-Permit an old
democrat, who has never faltered or wavered
for q moment in his devotion to the principles
tenets and modes of the "Grand Old Party of
the People," to communicate to you, and
through your valuable paper to others. a few
reflections respecting the action of the COM
mittee, concerning the date appointed for |
holding the primary election. I desire to
premise what may follow, by stating that I
do not write in any spirit of fault-inding or
unjust criticism of the action of the commit |
tee; on the contrary, I have the utmost conf
dence in the patriotism. lofty purpose and de-
votion to party of every democrat composing
that representative hOdy, but in my very
humble judgment they have erred in this
matter.
I am not one of q class of men who think
that the machinery of q political party should
be run to suit the convenience or in the in
terest of any particular class, vocation or
calling; and yet, it must be apparent to every
thinking man, that the primary election sys-
tenn (and | think 1t the best everything con-
sidered) must be a failure unless the most
liberal opportunity be afforded all voters to
express their preferences free and untram-
meled. This may be accomplished. A date
should have been appointed for holding the
| primary election that would have secured the
the largest possible vote from the ranks Of
the democracy. To the business men, trades
men and mechanics the date is not a matter
of great importance, but to tae farmers and
laborers, and they comprise a large element

THE WENTWORTH MALE ACADEMY,

We are sorry to learn that the sub
scription for the purposeo of building, in
part, the boarding house for the above
named institution does not progress
very satisfactorily.
1t is not necessary for us here to re-
hearse what is asked to be done. In
brief, Mr.. Wentworth after having
given the school building proper now
designs giving the Mitchell residence
about 8 acres of land, and $1,000 10
cash, for boarding house and recrea-
ton ground purposes, provided our cit
liens will give $500 toward erecting
the necessary buildings.
The school is not an experiment; ii
is a success.
Its utility to the city none question
These things being true Lexington
cannot afford to reject Mr.. Wentworth's
proposition.
First, because it needs the institu-
ton, educationally; and, second, be-
cause when it is taking a new lease OF
life through renewed energy in mer-
camille and manufacturing enterprises
it will not do to fail to secure this need
ed Improvement.
We are on, rising ground; let it not
be said that In the entire town q few
hundred dollars cannot be raised to Sc
cure a f~rst-class male academy.
If everybody does his part there will
be no trouble.
Messrs. Conner, McCausland and
McClelland compose the committee to
secure the amount. When they call on
you be sure to do your best. The
building should be done this summer.

days it will be impossible to do it, and
it will have to go over another year, if
