hA- The following requires no comment
from us. The people of Union County know
Judge Wallace. They have tried and trust

pointed or deceived them. Such sycophantic
demagogi.m from a subordinate, plainly in
tended to tickle the fancy Of Il superior off,
Ger, is too transparent to produce any feeling
but that of disgust in the minds of all true
men who know all the parties:

Ali this grows out of Judge Wallac con-

construction. If Judge Wallace is IAN
arrogant usurper, the Judge JsfTsries of
South Carolins,' by parity OF reasoning, all
the Judges upon the Supreme and Circuit
benches Of the State are arrogant usurpers,
for they fully endorse Judge Walace's de-

all the Judges Of tho State are denounced
for constituting law contrary to the wish or
opinion of Governor, who is in no sense a

me. not farmer, only a p'unter) the bread

his own farm.
This years experience will be lasting
lesson for great many and will prove a
blessing in disguise to those who are having
the bitter pills to swallow. You would be
surprised to know how cheaply some people
can live when necessity compels them.
In my humble judgment, the first thing
the farmer should do is to stop his washes,
terrace his lands and rec aim his worn out
soils. David Dickson said it would not pay
to work poor land. lie never told bigger
