News or Ancient History.

The Press and Banner printed the Govern
or's Message in supplement form for several
other Offices. and because Of our inability to
comply with the conditions attached to sew:
eral other orders we fell short Of filing the
demand.
We received part of the copy OF the Message
about four o'clock on Saturday evening. The
balance, including the financial statements
and the tables we received at about the same
hour on Monday evening. The whole was
made ready for the press that night, and at
about two o'clock our press commenced 10
run.

is worth something to newspaper. II pub

In order that the readers OF the Press and

and printed 1t In the paper at q cost ranging
anywhere from SIS to sls. When the type was
set we proposed TO give our neighbors the
same thing at forty cents per hundred copies,

In appreciation OF our efforts TO publish the
message, our old friends OF the Keowee Cour-

work:
ave are pleased to be able to lay before the
readers Of the Courier the full text OF Gov
ernor Tillman's message TO the Legislature or
South Carolina, as read at noon Tuesday be-
fore both Houses OF the General Assembly;
The message speaks for itself ana Will well

message in the hands Of our subscribers IN

The Election of Judges.

Last Friday was a notable day iu the his
tory of South Carolina. The names OF four Of
her honored Judges-McGowan Izlar. Hud-
son and Wallace-were dropped from the roll
of Judges in this State, and new men were
elected to fill their places.
Except in the case of Judge Hudson, we be-
lieve there was assigned no just reason for
displacement. In the case OF Judge Hudson,
he, being OF the old school, thought that MOTH
ing good could come of the faction now IN
power, and he sought to set aside the most
important law which they had enacted, that
of the dispensary.
In the case Of tho other Judges who were
not reelected. we believe there was no spectai
objection to them. Their ability. their legal
attachments and their integrity are acknowl-
edged by all. But the political demands oi
the faction were such that they simply pre-
ferred new men, and men Of their own fac
tional faith.
The recent frequent interference by the Ju-
dietary with the Executive in the discharge OF
the functions of his Office, created fear OF
further Interruptions, and give birth to the
desire to reward their own men with office.
The quarrel between the "outs" and the
IDS" mas Oeeu SOluS Oh lor yedis' anu VI
course when friction is kept up there must be
an exciting cause, and we have no doubt that
faults have been committed by both parties.
The administration has been nagged nearly
every day since 1t went into power, and 1t is
not strange that Tillman should say and do
things which outsiders might consider as In
discreet, vindictive or malicious
According to our own way of thinking last
Saturdays election was only the legitimate
result OF the aggravating causes.
All the anti-Tillman men will soon be out
OF office, but If the undesirable result should
bring about a condition Of peace in South
Carolina it will be we'll for the State.
The newly elected Judges will be put on
trial, and 1t remains for them to make their
own record. II they do we'll they will merit
and receive the we'll done of their country.
men. If they maintain the law, and II the
Executive should enforce the law with fair
ness and mpartiality-even to the utter and
absolute route of the "blind tigers"-the pub
lie will suffer no great loss, and the honor and
good name Of South Carolina will be pre-
served at home and abroad.

Reducing Salaries.

The Legislature Is now making an effort TO
reduce the salaries Of, certain clerks and Of
ficers.
The Reform party has now been in power
for three years and this is the last meeting OF
the Legislature until after another election.
The Press and Banner Is not informed II
any OF the salaries are now too high, for faith
full service. but whether high or low 1t seems
to as the reduction at this late time comes
with poor grace-when 1t can not affect the
salaries OF the incumbents, and can only ef-
feet the men who are to be elected next year.
Having taken the present high salaries them
selves they seem disposed to say that the next
set shall not have the same pay as they have
received-and this too without knowing the
ability and worth OF their successors.
While II may be true that the salary for the
present is too high, when the quality Of ser.
vice is considered, yet 1t is possible that those
who may be elected next year may better
earn their money. The next set of officers
ought not to be measured by the yard stick OF
those who now hold positions.
For instance: If the Reformers should
think their Judges are worth only $25OO q
year, 1t Is quite possible that the Democratic
members would concur in that opinion, but 1t
is rather an unusual proceeding for party to
discount the services Of their own officers.
To reduce salaries now would be virtually to
admit that the service Of a Reformer is not
worth as much as those OF the Democrats
who have heretofore held the officers. AS a
matter Of fact, we are not disputing the im-
plication, and shall make no complaint OF the
Legislature should they manifest just ap-
probation Of the value of their own officers.
But as a matter of fact and sound sense We
do not believe there is either necessity or
good policy in reducing the salaries at this
time. The next set may deserve the present
salaries, and there is no use in changing the
law to suit individual or isolated cases. To
cast the reflection on the newly elected Of
ficers is a proceeding which is unusual.

THE HALEY PUBLIC SCHOOLS,

Over Fifty Applicants for Teachers
Posi,ions-Expenses to bs Reduced.
There are over fifty applicants for
the position OF teacher in the Haley
public schools.
The applications come from nearly
every state in the Union. Kansas
leads with fifteen to eighteen, Iowa is
next, then comes Idaho-there being
three applications for the principals
ship from this state alone. Even dis.
tant Maine sends two applications.
Texas and South Dakota one apiece,
Michigan three, Ohio one, etc.
The hard times undoubtedly have
much to do with the number OF appli-
cants, but the salaries paid here
which have been the highest in Idaho,

are undoubtedly an additional induce.
meEt.
The school trustees will take no
action in the matter until the arrival
of Associate Justice Sullivan, who was
elected at the last election. Judge
Sullivan did not know that he was to
be candidate, and it is not known
whether he will act as trustee. But
as he is expected back by the goth Of
this month, the board will await his
return.
