The Judicial Convention.

The Kirgstree Record Of last week says:
sThe Judicial Convention to nominate a
candidate for Solicitor Of the third circuit
met here last evening. It is more than
probable, we think, that the delegates to
the convention will not do at this place as
they did at Pavley's Island, remain three
or four days without making nomination,
and then adjourn to meet at some other
place. We fail to see any reason why o
nomination could be made any quicker or
better at one place than another. The rules
and regulations Of the democratic party
prescribe how the nomination for Solicitor
shall be made. The democrats Of the coun-
ties composing the third circuit have elect
cd or appointed their agents-the delegates
to do what they cannot do as whole,
unless by primary election, to select can
didate; and it is incumbent on them, acting
for their constituents for a specific purpose,
to make the nomination. The delt gates
should remember that they are the agents
of the people, and not of the three gentle
men who are candidates for the nomina-
ton. The delegates were elected as the ad-
herents of some particular candidate, and
each delegation would like for its choice to
be successful, but this is an impossibility.
It does not require much reflection to ar
rive at the conclusion that the nomination
cannot be made so as to suit all the can.
didates or all the people, and that there
must necessarily be defeat and disappoint-
ment. The nomination should be made re-
gardless of the desire of any candidate. It
should be made in the interest of the pub

Ring Rule.

There is great deal of noise made in
these days about political rings and cliques
II there are such things as rings" and
their influence is hurtful they should be
mercilessly crushed. Half the time, how.
ever, these rings have no existence except
in the wild Imagination of some dyspeptic
and disappointed politician.

World. The theory is nice but unfortun.

generally takes ring to break q ring and
one ring is about as good as another. An

Why Wear Mourning :?

We do not by any means wish to
be thought as speaking lightly or
aippantly, or regardless Of the feel
ings of others, but in all honesty of
purpose, and for information, we ask
why people wesr mourning. Person
ally we do not approve of it; we
think it a useless, meaningless, and,
in many cases, an injurious custom.
Is it a badge Of sadness and sorrow ?
Sometimes, yes frequently, it is; but
oftimes again the gayest aud iyeliest
in a crowd is in the habiliments Of
grief. Is it to proclaim to the world
that the heart is sore? The sensitive
and refined feelings revolt at this
idea Is it q badge Of respect and
honor to the dead? Then with our
momen something lighter, less expen-
siye, and less damaging to health,
could be used.
Why should there be grades in
mourning? deep mourning, half
mourning, etc. Is the feeling, the
love, the respect of those who do not
wear mourning less than that Of those
who do? Is it right that the poor,
who can scarcely keep body and soul
together, should go to the expense Of
buying mourning goods?
We ask these questions. hoping
that some one viii discuss the sub
iecs. We think the whole thing
ought to be abolished, snd the soon
er the better. It is nothing but Gus
tom, and an idle custom. Less than
q half century ago the expenses Of a
funeral alone in Charleston was sell
dom less than FIVE hundred dollars.
After paying these expenses and nee
esssry expenses of sickness, etc, what
would a poor family have left2
We think We have in this article
furnished food for thought, and 8
perusal in another column of the az
ticle under the hesding OF Mourning
Rings" Will furnish further food.

The Mourning Ring.

Did you ever see I: mourning ring?'
asked q Maiden Lane jeweler Of a reporter
the other day. well, here is one.
Il IS heavy gold band perfectly plain,
and with a seal in the shape OF q ccffin
It has glass face, through which can be
seen a skeleton in gold On the inside Of
the ring is the inscription, in black enamel,
giving the initials OF the deceased and the
date Of death.
"Thesc designs were used over o century
ago, and now they are to be revived as the
latest fad. Some young widows, who fnd
it difficult to indicate their bereavement
when indoors, with hat and flowing veil re.
moved, take advantage of the ring to an.
1onnca to susceptible young men that they
have returned to the matrimonial market
They need not look melancholy. A turn
Of the finger and the sad news IS told"
"Do men use them ?"
s.Nloet assuredly. Widowers have nc
way Of announcing their loss except by
the band on their hats. With a mourning
ring all embarrassing inquiries regarding
the deceased wife may be avoided, and
knowledge of :ne widower's restored eligi'
b:lity quickly and neatly impaired.

The judicial Deadlock.

The delegates to the judicial con-
vention of this circuit have met twice,
remained in session several days each
time, cast in all 439 ballots, and adj
tourned second time without any
change in the first ballot the an
nouncement of the result each time
having been monotonously the same:
Wilson -; Dargan 10; Gilland s.
The delegates, each of them, are OF
course honest in their action, and
have done what they conceived
to be their duty; but the people in
this circuit and throughout the State
look on any such persistent person
al action, any.such apparently selfish
voting, as unworthy the Democratic
party, and calculated 20 do harm
Only one candidate can be elected,
and while We think they should elect,
orshould have elected, one of the three
candidates, yet if such cannot be
done, or could not be done, without
so long and probably damaging ef-
Sacts, It would have been better to
have dropped all three Of the candi-
dates, and to have selected some
fourth man on whom all could have
agreed. It does not look we'll, and is
calculated to do great harm, this un-
seemly scramble for Office.
We do not propose, in this article,
entering into discussion of the mer-
its Of any one OF the three candidates;
but We assert, and We believe it is the
sentiment of three iourths Of the peo-
pie, that the convention should have,
before now, made nomination. The
delegates should besr in mind that Ii
is undemocratic in principle to ST.
tempt to promulgate, as it were, s
bull that all goodness is centered in
one man.
IF when the convention meets
next week no nomination is made
in a reasonable time, We think it
advisable that the convention agree
to leave the matter to the people, and
then let the Executive Committee at
once order a primary election.

The State Democratic Executive

The State Democratic Executive
Committee meets in Columbia to-
night. One thing that may be done
will be to place some able speakers
in the field to stump the State. We
hope no such action will be taken.
It viii be q useless waste of time and
money. Everybody in South Caro-
lima is a Democrat, and will vote the
Democratic ticket. Our colored cit
izens certainly would not dream OF vot-
ing against Cleveland or any one of our
congressional nominees. We are al.
good Democrats now; and everybody
in the State must vote for Grover
Cleveland and the Democratic can
didates. He has made an 4 No. /
first class president.

Miss Eliza Garner, the Union couu-
~ woman candidate for school COM
missioner, who was recently defeated
in the Democratic primary election,
is still a candidate, claiming that she
did not pledge herself to abide the
result OF the primary, and announc-
ing that she will be a candidate in
the general election. She promises.
if elected, to give her salary to the
public schools; to run the public
schools six months; and to employ q

Judicial Convention Adjourned.
Did The Delegates DO Their Duty as
CitlzenSs

KIScsrREE, September 21.-Spec:al: At
10 o'clock this morning when President
Brooks gavel raped on the Judges desk
in the Court House no more wo1n-out set
of men than the delegates of the 3rd judi
cial circuit ever sat down in deadlock.
But to their credit be it said that no Con-
yention that has ever met in South Carroll
no has done as much wo-k in so short
time. It was nothing but realization OF
the fact that there was no chance OF NOM
ination that made them adopt to-day the
resolution which ended its session in Will
liamsburg.
After the 439th ballot and no change
Sumter moved an adjournment of the
Convention to meet in Sumter on October
4. Williamsburg seconded the motion.
This brought Nr. Doar, Of Georgetows, to
his feet with an invitation to Georgetown.
For tea minutes pandenenium reigned,
bat the hnbbub subsided into resolution,
which was carried, that the four county
seats in the circuit be nominated and that
after TIE first ballot the two highest places
be balloted for, and this was carried and
Georgetown and Sumter we're the two. 10
the second vote Clarendon and Georgetown
voted for Georgetown, with the solid sup
port of Williamsburg except one delegate,
who stuck to Sumter, which, Of course,
voted for the "Game-cock County This
ended the session Of the body, which has
set to the Democrats Of South Carolina an
example which can be productive Of moth
inc bat serious results to the white inter
ests. It's one that has been adopted al
ready by 3 Congressional convention, and
with results rot acceptable to all. The mo-
tion to change the place Of sitting is the
one referred to.

AS was foreshadowed by the TINES
last spring, the $4,000 to pay State
pensions proved inadequate, and now,
after two or three dollars this month
to each claimant, there will be no
more money for this purpose till af-
ter the Legislature meets. It will
take an appropriation OF at least
$l50,000 to pay these claims.

element ami stop the run on the bank,
required the latter to cash all notes pre-

justice!of this requirement is founded on
the principle that the bank, exercising
the privilege of issuing notes, should
either print them in a manner rendering
il impossible to counterfeit them, OF bear
the loss that successful counterfeits infict
on an unsuspecting public. In this mat
ter the bank and the public are equally
innocent Of the crime, but it Isl maxim
of law that where the loss must fall upon
one or two innocent parties, it should
fall on the one by whom the loss was
rendered possible. The bank by exercis-

privilege is for its acknowledgements it
