hard on many woman who has been in

the habit of wearing always modest and
unobtrusive bonnet or hat, because now
there are none such. A pretty little vel
vet hat has q narrow brim that slopes
against the hair In the back and at the
side, and turns up squarely in front. Two
little wings, Aercury-wise, are set against
this brim, next the hair, and point
sharply to either side. A band of satin
ribbon passes about the crown of the
hat, and Is fastened st the back by O
tiny silver buckle.
The gray velvet hat sketched here has
Its turned-up brim cut open in the mid
die of the front and back, and the points
turned mp and down. The brim is edged
with galoon Of peacock feathers and
three short ostrich tips rise from the cut
in the back. The low crown is covered
tightly with gray velvet and eno!rcled
with q band of the same. In front there
Is . large bow Of three inch black vel
vet ribbon held in place with q steel
buckle. From this bow rises an sigrette.
Hats consisting of perfectly fat,
plate like piece, mounted on q round
band and trimmed with q single upright
bow of ribbon that is tied right through
the hat itself and stifiy wired, are among
the new things. They are stylish, and
the more impossibly tall and stif the
bow is and the more the fstness of the
hat, makes its security matter of amaze
ment, the more stylish 1t ali seems to be.

Tothe Editor OF the JOURNAL AND CoURIER:
A traveller journeying through the mag
ni6cent garden shire of Kent cannot fail
to be impressed with the amplitude and
snugness of most of Its country home
steads. They are very ancient, stone
built and exceedingly large; low, but wide,
with outspreading wings and clean -tos. "
Centuries-old ash, lime or oak trees clus-
ter about them. Fine old walls enclose
shaded lanes leading to and from them.
The outbulldipgs are large and substan-
tisl. Great orchards are set about them.
The groupings are pictures of rustic opu-
lence, thrift and good husbandry. They
almost cause the wandsrsr to long tc
know them and tarry within them. But 6

are in turn surmoantsd by white eowls
shaped like an arched fan, their mouth
always opening in the dire ction opposit
that from which the wind blows. Agsins
gray and wintry horizons these odd struo
tures form weird silhouettes. But wher
ever you see them you may know, at an.
time of the year, that you are In the long
famous hop country of Kent. 1t Ia t
these quaint, and always picturesque oil
kilns, or "oast-houses," as they are her
called, that the hops are brought for dry
ing, or curing, after they are picked by tn
motly throngs in the odorous gardens an
fields.
In all of England perhaps eighty thor
sand acres are planted In hops. Nssrl
one.half of the entire AREA Is within th
shire of Kent. The system of hop-raisini
picking and drying Is simple and interes
ing. The plants, which are perennial, al

NEWS FROM RIDGEwAY.

RIDGEwAY, S. G., Dec. l.-For
several days past our city has been
noted for its dizziness. In consequence
of the scarcity of money, very little OF
it has changed hands. However,
bales ef the "feecy staple" still con-
tinue to come in, Notwithstanding the
low price. People are anxious to pay
up Indebtedness, and the prospect for
an advance is so gloomy that they have
concluded to "let her ROLL" and 60 as
far as il will towards liquidating claims
against them.
The roads leading TO our place are
kept pretty warm by ;he cotton seed
buyers. We see by the Alabama
papers that seed is selling there al 24c.
Why such a difference in pli2e i'll
Alabama and South Carolina we are
unable to see. for from ascounts the
cotton crop there is about like here,
and do not suppose they are in much
better condition II financially than the
people here. Some of the Georgia
papers claim there is combination in
South Carolina and Georgia the cause.
Not knowing we cannot say.
The ladies of the Baptist Church
here gave a hot supper thanksgiving
night, which was largely attended and
Yen patroniSed. MIR. Helms Coleman
very kindly gave them the Use cf his
large and commodious house, and it
was said by one capable of judging
(for we think he knows when rations
are nicely "f1ed up'') that it was
certainly the best managed affair OF
the kind he has ever attended in
Ridgeway. F'-ty-one dollars were
realized. Certainly success these
hard times. Ali aeemed to enjoy
themselves finely, and everything
passed off nicely. -,
Thanksgiving day was quite dull
here. The afternoon was taken ad'
vantage of by the young men who
amused themselves hunting. The
fields were full Of Nimrods, who
frightened the poor birds; bnt very
few were brought in. However, the
stores were not closed until too late
| for the clerks to do much towards
hunting. It was certainly dull day
here for business, and the stores might
as well have been closed all day, for
| there was nothing done. Z. Y. z.

The Judsesk.p Elections.

We do not care to criticise the gen.
tlemen who have been elevated to such
high positions Of trust. We do not
know great deal about the new
Judges, but don't think that any OF
them have ever distinguished them
selves as lawyers.
Mr.. Benet is very scholarly man,
and politician.
Mr.. Townsend is not brilliant man,
but is willing to dig hard for his legal
knowledge.
Of Mr.. Watts we do not know much
Mr.. Eugene B. Gary is very young
man for the Supreme Bench, and un'
less he has very quick parts will not
distinguish himself for many years to
come. This position should be re-
served for a man who is ripe in legal
knowledge through many years OF
active practice and hard, close, and
diligent study. The evil of the times,
however, is that The hard students,
and those best fitted for the Judiciary,
stand aloof from politics, and hence
they are not thought of i'll connection
with judgeships.
Judge Hudson is one Of the ableSt
judges on the South Carolina Bench,
a man of the highest integrity, but he
would not bend his conscience to de-
clare something good law that he
thought unconstitutional, and hence, be
was deposed even if Mr.. Watts had to
be taken from another circuit.
Judge Izlar has not been on the
bench long, but he didn't have the
Tillmanite Shiboleth, and had to be
removed even if Mr.. Benet had to be
imported from another circuit.
The effort to make the Judiciary sab
seryient to the will Of the admiDistra.
ton is what We find to criticise more
than the men who have Just been
elected. It is most dangerous policy,
and it will surely recoil on those who
have done it.
The deplorable part Of this proce-
dure is that it is done by our own
people. We believe the Radicals in
only one instance took q man from one
circuit and made him tyrant over
another. It was denounced by cur
people as outrageous. We cannot be-
lieve that such proceedings will be
ccuntenanced by the people of this
State.
