Judge Wallace for District Judge.

With much pleasore We nominate ex-Judge
w. II. Wallace, 10 succeed Hon. c. II. Sim
onton as U. s. District Judge for the District
Of South Carolina.
No man in South Carolina has higher
qualifications for the office, and it will be
acknowledged by the intelligent and honest
people Of both political factions In this State
that his elevation TO that position would give
more general satisfaction to the people Of
the State ibau that of any other man ns yet
spoken of.
Judge Wallace is one of the purest men
in the country and though deposed from the
bench of the State by legislative faction in
tho general scramble to make room for po-
li,ical favorites, irrespective Of worth or
merit, not word was uttered or charge
made against his integrity. ability or stern
administration of justice during the whole
1e years that he dignifed and honored the
Judiciary of the State as Circuit Judge
Though fearless and firm, his conservative
aud imr rartial discharge of duty ut all time
and under all circumstances, commanded
the highest respect and implicit confidence
of the members of thebar and the people Of
the State.

For the TINES.
Cultured Farmers,

II the young men of our dear old South
land would only avoid the terrible and con-
tagious avarice that curses the world today,
and would be satisfied TO train and develop
themselves for intellectual and intelligent
tillers of the sol, what blessing they might
become.
Our country is overstocked with Doctors,
Merchants, Lawyers, etc, etc., but there is
q dearth ofintelligent and cultured farmers
men who make q success of their own
business, aud give stimulus, character and
dignity to country life.
Every community today stands greatly in
need Of young men we'll equipped and pre-
pared to develop the grand possibilities of
life OH the farm. To any trained and true
man, with soul filled with the noble desire
to be helpful to his fellow man, the very
nature Of things promises success lie can
become lord of principa'ity and can rule
without fear of competitors or strikes. Fail
ing banks and money panics need but little
enter his thoughts, but as n light in his
neighborhood his counsel will ever be sought
and needed
No other business offers such chance to
enter into happy copartnership and work
for and with those we love With father
and mother as senior partners and general
advisers, and with ench son and daughte er
taken into the firm, and in charge of some
department Of farm work, interesting each
in your plans for their department, and
giving them their share sof the profits, you
have firm that will always be prosperous
and happy. \. @. L.

district, the stringent amendments 10 the
dispensary law, AMI, perhaps, the repeal of
the charters of certain rcLe'lious railroads
are all reform party measures, ard if that
party, claiming to be n large majority of The
white voters of the State, can live under
them surely the few thousand conservative
voters can live and flourish under them
It's no use getting mad about thcse changes

Let us give the new officers AMI the new
measures, fair aud honest trials, and if they
prove to be good reforms our pain duty is
to uphold them; but if they Prove to the

to turn 'em out.

He Is on THE RIGHT TRAcK.-Mr. ID. NJ.
Hall, who lives four and one half miles
north Of Yorkville, has in his stables eleven
colts, six mules and four horses, all home
raised. In and about the barn yard there
are also thrty-six hogs from three to twelve
months old and all fat enough for the
butcher. MIR. Hall claims, and he speaks
from experience. that he eau "raise and put
the gears on" mule colt for 500; and fur
ther; that he can raise about the stable one
hog for each horse or mule, at cost much less
than cents pound. the price now
being paid to Tennessee drovers. The home
raised mule that cost him $50 is equal TO the
best that can be brought from Kentucky and
sold for 1926. while the pork is as fine rs
the finest. Such talk from theorst would
not be worth great deal, but from practi.
cal man like MIR. Hall it must be taken Of
face value YorkpiHe Enquirer.

Esch of these officers are to make quar-

Sheriff is allowed $500 per annm for q

the aggregate annual fees turned by him
into the county treasury aud profits from
dieting prisoners shall exceed, by so much,
the amount Of 5000 per anuum, or so much
thereof as shall exceed 5000.
1t will be Sen that no provision is made
for the absolutely necessary keeping and
feeding of twthorses by the Sheriff, OF for
the pay of an assistant in the Clerks Office,
which is also absolutely necessary. The
bills have BED referred to the Union dele

1t seems han y consistent to ask man tc
give $1O,00dkr $4,000 bond, to hold

such very resp aible and often dangerous
and at best upleasant official positions
But few men q command such bonds, and
the number Of IN who could be accepted
on such bonds dh very few, while the mum.

such bonds are sfill less. Under the Whit
