The present Board Of County Commission

across the stream Mr.. at g. S. Cade's mill. It Il
was substantially and honestly built. All
the necessary iron rods and braces were put
in, while the work was all that the occasion
required. ,.
Mr.. DuPre lately returned from an inspect
ing tour of the roads, and he Is enthusiastic
i'm his praises of the efforts Of the road over
seers to do their work well and according to
the reqr rirements Of the law. with very few
exceptions all have discharged their duty,
and have given the travelling public better
roads than we have had in Abbeville County

special pride in looking after the roads. In
no place has greater p .uctical common sense
been brought to lear laa In the cheap con con,

The killing of q United States Su.
preme Judge.


Ex-Judge David S. Terry. some two or three
weeks ago, slapped the face of Judge Stephen
T, Field in an eating house at Lathrop, Cali
fornia. Deputy United States Marshal
Nagle Immediately rose from his seat and
shot him through the heart.
The difficulty grew out Of judgment which
Field had rendered, and now the question in
Court will be. was Nagle justifable?
While all must deplore the difficulty and
the death Of Terry, 1t may not be amiss to
enquire how much Judge Field was to
blame?
We cannot believe that Terry would have
beer 80 much exasperated at simple judg
ment OF the Court as to induce him to slap
face the Of Judge.
While we care nothing at all for any calam-
ity that may befall any one for attempting
to disgrace fellowman, or to injure him In
good name or estate and while we would
leave the act of Nagle to the judgment of the
Court Of California, we would remark on the
probable cause or origin Of the difficulty.
1t is altogether probable that Judge Field
reflected in severity on the veracity, integrity,
or some particular act Of Terry's while word
ing or framing Of that Judgment. Judge
Field should have given just verdict, but,
In doing so, it was inexcussable in him If he
voluntarily used his official position to ex-
asperate him or to detract from Terry's char
acter, and he deserves little sympathy for the
insult which be received.
The Press and Banner believes in support
ing the dignity Of the office OF Judge, and 1t de
precates any practice which would counten'
ance the use Of the machinery Of the Court
to stab the character Of the humblest citizen,
no matter whether in be by the Judge him
self, or whether 1t be done by bullying law
yers before weak judges who command the
Sheriff and an army of constables to force the
unoficial victim from the presence OF that
august body under charge Of contempt for q
contemplate court.
II every judge Jared as did Field when the
character of clients and witnesses are assail'
ed. the probability is, that our Courts would
be conducted with proper Observance OF the
decencies and proprIeties which are custom
ary among gentlemen. II courts are proper
ly conducted, and II judges and lawyers
would attend strictly to the matters at issue,
the court rooms would seldom be the scene Of
disgraceful rows, and our judges would
seldom be under the necessity OF being fol.
lowed over the country by an armed guard.
