AN EDITOR REMEMBERED.

It is always pleasant to know that
ones labors are appreciated. We often
think we make great mistake not to
let those who labor among US and for
our good, know that we appreciate
what they are doing. A kind word
fitly spoken is often great encourage
ment to greater achievement, and 1t
costs so little, and is so often withheld
when it could be sincerely and honestly
spoken.
The editor of the Greenville News,
who was in Columbia during the Sit
ting of the Legislature, wrote some ad-
mirabie articles for his paper, and was
particularly strong and eloquent in his
advocacy of the reelection of Hamp-
ton. On bis return home, the ladies OF
Greenville, in appreciation OF this
advocacy presented him with hand
some office chair and beautiful gold
pen.
This was very nice in these ladies
and we feel sure Editor Williams duly
appreciates it. We congratulate him
on the reception of this token OF es-
teem and appreciation on the part OF
his home folks. He richly deserves it.

HIS REASONS.

Governor Tillman in his veto mes
sage of the railroad bill assigns two rea-
SONS for the veto. First, one ofthe planks
in the platform of the March Conven-
tion recommends that these officers be
elected by the people, and on this plat
form he was elected and still stands.
Second, the bill as it stands permits
the railroads to appeal to the courts
from the decisions of the commission
ers, and in so doing places the jurisdlc-
ton in the hands of one man.
The bill was passed by IN overwhelm-
ing majority in both houses. The
Senate refused to sustain the veto by a
vote of 25 to 5. In the House the mem
bers seemed to be inclined to do the
bidding of the Governor and the veto
was sustained by vote Of 50 to Z.

THE CHIEF JUSTICESHIP.

The death of Chief Justice Simpson
of the Supreme Court seems to have
complicated matters a little, and the
lawyers who have been giving opinions
seem to differ, as lawyers will. No
opinion has yet been published or gwen
by Acknowledgement Pope who is the
legal adviser of the Governor, neither
has there been any information Of Gov.
Tillman as to what course he will pur-
sue in regard to the vacancy. There
are only two things that the Governor
can do. One is to call an extra session
of the Legislature for the purpose OF
eIecting successor to Judge Simpson,
and the other is to let the vacancy re-
main until the meeting of the LegIsla-
ture next November. It seems to be
very clear that the vacancy connot be
filed by executive appointment for the
for the constitution provides that the
executive can only appoint when the
vacancy is for period less than one
wear. To call an extra session OF the
LEGISLATURE would cost the State $4,000
or sl5,OOO. We do not believe there is
such urgency for the filling OF this
vacancy as to incur the trouble aud eX-
pense of an extra session. The constl-
tuition provides that two Of the court
shall constitute quorum and only the
concurrence of two is necessary TO rem
der judgment. If it should happen
that they did not concur the case would
have to 60 over We presume. one ar
gument in favor of having Chief JUS
tice at once is that the business OF the
court now is already very much crowded
and the work keeps three Judges right
busy. But as to the legality OF the
court with the Chief Justice dead, it Is
the opinion of very able lawyers that
there is no question about it.
The best thingto dois to let the mat
ter 90 over to the regular assembling
of the Legislature.

PRESLEY BOLAR RUFF, y. d.

The death of Dr.. P. B. Ruff, on Sun
day last, removes from our midst
another Of the old landmarks of New
berry. He was one Of the Oldest, if not
the oldest, citizen in the county. He
was born on the 25th of December, 1901,
and died on Sunday, December q, 1890.
He was a native of this county and
spent nearly his whole life here.
DR.. Ruff was in many respects a
most remarkable man, and deserves
more than passing notice.
In his youth he was considered the
sickly member Of the family and yet
he outlived all the rest. Out of seven
brothers, five lived beyond the allotted
age of three-score years and ten, and
three were past four-score years when
the summons came. DR.. Ruff was
twice married. His first wife died in
1850, and his second about three years
ago. He buried all of his seven chill
dren and only one grandchild. Mrs. E.
H. Aull, and three great-grandchildren
survive him.
He began the practice of medicine in
Newberry County in 1882, having grad
uated from the South Carolina Medical
College, Charleston, on the 2lst March
of that year, and for more than half a
century was actively engaged IN the
practice of his profession. He enjoyed
a large and lucrative practice and was
considered among the best physicians
of his day.
A half century spent in minister
ing to the suffering and in alleviating
pain, is more than most men can claim
for their work on earth. Who can
estimate the good that an honest, faith
full and benevolent physician can &C
complish in life devoted to his pro-
fession. To minister to the suffering
in the sanctity of the sick room, how
very near the sacredness of that higher
ministry of pastoral care, when the
imperial traits of the true physician
are manifest! Such a life was that OF
DR.. P. B. Ruff. But it has ended, as all
things earthly, and he has been gath
cred to his fathers.
For the past three years, since the
death Of his wife, his life has necessa-
rily been lonely, and he was only wait
ing for the summons.
His funeral service was held in the
Methodist church on Tuesday morn
ing, after which his body was laid to
rest in the family burying ground at
the old cemetery along with the other
members Of his family.

THE REMEDY.

Every year We hear the cry of hard
times and the scarcity Of money, and
no one realizes more painfully the tact
of the latter than the country editor.
The absence of money will generally
make hard times. There is no doubt
that the low price Of cotton even with
the good crops the past year has been
a great hardship on the farmer. But
still there is not such great scarcity
of money after ali. 4 great many rem
edies have been suggested, amongst
which are the sub-treasury scheme,
the free coinage of silver and so on.
We have one which is plain and does
not involve any great constitutional
questions a2i It is this: If every
man who has dollar and owes some
body that amount would just go along
and pay it, and the fellow to whom 1t
is paid would pay somebody else that
he owes, why that dollar could travel
around , good deal even IN one day,
and it would not be long before it
would do 800 worth Of work. To IL
lustrate, and we Use it simply as an IL
lustra,ion. II every subscriber to pa
pers published in this office would pay
US an average of 81 it would remove
the cry Of hard times, for the time be-
ing at least, even from the editorial
sanctum Of country editor. But the
trouble is whenever there is a little
stringency in tie money market every
fellow who las i collar holds the faster
to it. This plan is the simplest that
we know of and We believe that if it
were honestly and faithfully tried that
it would prove etfectual.

ANOTHER MILE STONE.

Another mile stone in the journey Of
the world has been reached. To-day
is the beginning Of the new year. We
do not intend to moraliZe on the fleet
ness of time or anything of that kind,
but it is we'll, occasionally, to review
the past, and by study Of our short
comings be more watchful Of the pres
ent and avoid the mistakes Of the past.
The past year has been remarkable
-one in many respects, and we trust
that it is, as some claim, the dawn OF
an era of prosperity and greater devel-
opment of our State in all that goes to
make up happy, contented ana
prosperous people.
The Herald and News closes up a
quarter of century of its existence.
During that time it has passed through
several changes and many vicissitudes'
but it has always endeavored to hold
I'D that which was right, and has
worked and labored for the material
prosperity and the moral advancement
of the people of this community. IL
NAV have erred, and no doubt 1t has'
but it was an error of the judgment
and not of the heart. 1t has been
under the present management no"
near four years. During that time we
have endeavored to stand for truth ana
Justice. We have labored unceaslngiy
for the interests of our town ana county
as we saw them, speaking the truth as
we conceived it. This we shall con-
tinue to do. We begin the new year
with the first day.
This is a time of resolutions and ne"
resolves, but the best thing to do IS 10
Derform the duties Of life faithfully ana
we'll as they present themselves, whetn-
or those duties be small or great. NO
man can do more; none can expect
more. You can be hero, though your
lot be cast in the humblest Walks Oh
life.
The past year has been successlul
one in many respects. Our farmers
have made good crops, and are IN
good condition to begin another. Our
town is moving forward. The graoeo
.-zs;haols have been put in successful op-
Grafton: a new railroad has been com
pleted to our town; cotton seeo OIL
mill and fertilizer company Las been
established and is in operation, ana
number of new dwellings have been
erected in our midst, but there IS stlll
room for more achievements. linen
LET rs look to the future and act we'll IN
the present, for the past year has gone
into history and it cannot be cnangeo
or undone, for all it contains
is now secure and fast;
Not the gods can shake lne paSI'
Flies to the adamanilne coor'
Roited down forever more.
None can re-enter there,
Insert leaf or forge name
To bind or unbind, ada wnat IdcAe"'
Alter or mend eternal 1acI.

OfcourSe there will be plenty of can
didates for the vacancy on the Supreme
Bench, and it is none of our business
who gets it, but it seems to us that the
proper thing to do would be to pro-
mote one Of the present associate JUS
tices to the Supreme Bench and then
elect a Circuit Judge Associate Justice.
Judge Wallace would be good selec-
ton. He woUld adorn the Supreme
bench, being learned in the law and
having experience in its administra-

Special to News and Courier.
UNION, December 29.-In reading
the manifesto of the Third Party con-
ference, published in the News and
Courier a few days ago, the writer no.
ticed the name of J. D. Norris, repre-
senting South Carolina, signed to it,
and he was spoken of as a recent can
didate for Congressional honors. This
happens to be some other Norris, and
in order that the readers of the News
and Courier may know who J. D. Nor
ris is this letter is written.
J. D. Norris is negro school teacher
and noted Republican Of this county.
He was a member of the colored Alll-
ance some time ago, and is still mem
Der if am not mistaken. Norris has
figured for number of years in this
county as an irresponsible person, and
if the other signers of the call for the
Third Party are as poor specimens as
Norris is, no fear need be felt that
new party will be organized. But may
be the coming year will be another
"record-breaking" year, and perhaps
Norris will amount to something after
all
