Judge Aldrich.
i;clc.

In commenting upon the alleged prob
ability Of opposition to the reelection
Of Judge Aldrich the Winnsboro NewS
and Herald says:
"There is, indeed, no good reason why
Judge Aldrich should be made an exccp-
ton to the rule which our Legislatures
have heretofore TO- owed in retaining the
incumbent Judges in their places.
j Judges Aldrich's Off record, obtained
from the highest source Of information
the reported decisions Of the Supreme
Courts very crcditablc. Since his
election in 1877 he has done his full
share Of the important work of elcvating
the bench Of the State to the position it
occupied before the country previous to
reconstruction. His health, which was
at one time such as to interfere a little
with the regular discharge Of his circuit
duties, has o so far improved as to
relieve him of eny embarrassment in
this regard. Without undertaking to
pass any judgment upon the merits
Of the several gentlemen who have been
mentioned for the office, we may be
permitted to express the hope that
Judge Aldrich will be reelected without
dihculty-we should prefer without
opposition.

Another sssouthern Outrage"

A remarkable will case in Hancock
country has been attro { ling attention in
in the state, and will be extensively
noticed Throughout the Union if Northern
journalists have the fairness to see the
point and emphasize the moral.
J" : facts are essentially these, as the
Chyonicle's readers already know: A
prominent farmer in Hancock country
dies, leaving n bequest Of 100000, out
Of an estate worth 100000, t u colored
woman who dwclls in the same county
with deceased. The matter naturally
created considerable talk; the will was
contested, and the cavensors-the re-
~latives of the dead man-were among
the most respectable white citizens in
the country Of Hancock. The contest
was long and stubborn. The caveators
had gathered the best legal talent around
them. Hon. N. j. Hammond, Hon. n. e.
Harris. John Rutherford, of Macon. and
others. The propounders were protect
ed by Hon. Seabourne Reese, Judge
Hon. Chas. w. DuBose. and the legal
Little, Col. John T, Jordan and
conflict was profound and prolonged.
The jury was composed Of twelve
white citizens Of the county and the
100000 was promptly awarded to the
colored woman who had been named rs
the heir. The white relatives were en-
tirely excluded, and the verdict shows
the disposition Of the white people to
accord equal justice to the colorcd race,
and to protect them in all their rights.

Drinking In Washington.

1t rs said that drinking Is decreasing
at Washington. ] do not believe this to
be so, writes q correspondent Of the
Cleveland Leader. Fewer people
drink at the saloons, perhaps. But it
has come to be that every public man
has his cellar stocked with wines and
brandies. and liquors are sold by the
quantity instead of by the glass. All
Of the grocery stores at Washington
keep large stocks Of liquors, from
Mumm's extra dry champagne down to
avery cheap article Of whiskey, and
YOU will find wine stores in nearly ev-
cry block. In no city in the United
States, except, perhaps, New Orleans. is
there so much wine drank in proportion
to the population. Many families rev.
er sit down to q meal without having
wine OH the table. and at q Washington
hotel, where public men stop. it is a
rule to take a bottle Of wine with your
dinner. Within the last two years
punch has become very popular at
Washington, and you will new find a
big punch bowl at almost every fashion
able gathering. 1t is quite an art to
make n fine Washington punch, and it
takes very little Of the article to cause
the knees to culver and the head to
swim. Ono receipt contains the ingrc-
dients, whiskey, rum, c%laret, champagne
sugar and lemons. A Little water added
to this, and you have a drink that will
put an old topper under the table after
half his usual allowance. Still, this
stuff is given to young men and maid
ems.
There is a good deal Of difference in
the United States as to drinking men
from the North and East and from CAL
ifornia drink wine, while those from the
West and South take Whiskey and
beer. Kentuckians usually take whis-
key straight and Wisconsins are fond OF
their own milwaukee, lager. Senators
Frye and Blair arc said to be the only
Senators who are %tctotallcrs, There
was a Senator named Jadwin in the
Forty-Seventh Congress who never sat
down to a meal without having a tea
cup of hot water placed before him.
He seasoned it with cram and sugar, and
drank it as other people do coffee. Con-
gresham Hatch. Of Missouri, is also is
hot water drinker, and breckenridge, of
Arkansas. takes it with every meal.
These hot water drinkers advocate tie
practice as a cure for dyspepsia and indi-
gestion, and they say they become as
fond Of the drink as Of ten, coffee, or
whiskey.

tor of Davis Circus, and annie Wiggla-
man, his wife. as they lay dead in their

dressed preparing for bed. Davis, who

volvcr, when it was discharged, the ball
entering the chest Of his wife 81 sideways,
going downward in a diagonal direction
through the heart and coming out in the
back just above the waist. AS soon az
Davis discovered what had happened he
sent Graft for q doctor. Other persons
in the house heard the alarm and enter
cd the room. Mrs. Davis was found ly-
ing upon the bed, to which she had
been lifted, and gasping. Her husband
HL-
sat by her side embracing her and i'm
ploring her TO speak to him. Mr..
Thornton, proprietor Of the hotel, OBJ
serving the revolver on the bed picked
it up. when Davis said: .'Put that
down, leave everything as it was" Da-
sis then seized the revolver and with a
sudden desperate movement applied j.
TO his head behind the right ear and
fired. His death was almost i~nstanta-
neous. The Jury found tho death OF
Mrs. Davis to have resulted from acci.
dent, and that of Mr.. Davis from sui.
eide. Relatives Of the deceased couple
were communicated with.
