Address from Judge Earle.

Judge Joseph II. Earle, the successful
candidate in the recent Senatorial race,
has issued the following address, which
speaks for itself:
"Io the Democratic Toters of South Car
olina: 1t is with pride and qualification
that / have received notice of the official
count by which am declared your nom
inee for the Office of United States Sena-
tor. Permit me to express to you my
grateful thanks and to assure you that I
hope to merit your confidence by earnest
ly striving to do my duty.
"As declared many times during the
campaign, in which 1 had the honor to
address you, am the candidate Of no fac
tion and recognize no difference between
Retormers and Conservatives, but honor
you all as Democrats. have appealed
to you to lay aside all factional differen-
ces, and in casting your votes 10 consider
only your duty to the State as Democrats,
concediDg to no man the right to control
you and submitting to no dictation The
result shows that you have not been in
fluenced by prejudice; that you have laid
aside factional differences; that you have
asserted your manhood and have been in
fuenced only by your duty to the State.
"For many years have labored 10 heal
the breach in our ranks and to restore
good feeling among our people. Some.
times + have almost despaired that this
would be accomplished, but the result Of
the election gives me new hope. Indeed,
l believe that new era has dawned upon
our State, and that the future gives prom
ise that our people will hereafter consider
men and measures solely upon their mer-
its and will be influenced by no other
consideration. God grant that this may
be so.
SIN this connection let me congratulate
you upon the election of Mr.. Ellerbe as
your nominee for Governors brave, able
and conscientious gentleman, who has
promised to be the governor of the whole
people. His high character gives the as
surance that this promise will be faithful
ly kept, and that, free from partisan in
fuences, his administration will be pure,
able and just.
"Appreciating the great honor that you
have conferred upon me, and invoking
Divine aid in dlschargipg the important
and responsible duties of the Office to
which have been nominated, am
"Your obedient servant,
"JosEPH II. EARLE -.

A ssReform" Victory.

John Gary Evans is defeated and the
Reformers have done it. 1t is not Con-
servative victory it rs Reform triumph,
and triumph of the people over bossism
and the organized constabulary force.
Whether or not Governor Evans has been
guilty of appropriahng public money to
his own use, we do not know. We confess
that the proof has not been produced,
though it is certain by his own confess
sion that he has been keeping some very
bad company. Ofone thing, however, we
feel fully convinced, and that is, Evans
ought never to represent this State in the
United States Senate. He wentinto Office
by forestalling tho voice Of the people.
Had it not been for the Colleton plan FL
lerbe would have beat hipS in 1894. He
has never been strong with the people,
and when he came fairly before them
they let him know it most effectively. He
has prostituted bis Office to serve his own
political ends. That the dispensary sys-
tenn has been used for this purpose, no
one who has kept close watch on the
campatgn can doubt The concern has
been managed by Evans for Evans. The
people have repudIated such campaign
methods by repudiating Evans. Governor
Evans has been q most bitter partisan
he has striven always to keep up strife,
to incense and engender bitter feeling
among the people that he might profit
thereby. The conservative Reformers
have placed their condemnation upon
such policy, and we repeat it the Re-
formers. and not the Conservatives, have
done it. Examine the clubs and the votes
and compare the vote in the same clubs
for Sheppard in 1892 and you will see who
has done the work. That host Of Con-
servatives have joined the Reformers is
true. Let them continue to join hands in
the interest of good government, and
hereafter let no one ask whether candi-
date be a Conservative or Reformer.
Let US have peace, good governmen
good fellowship one for another, with the
one end in view-the advancement Of
South Carolina. We congratulate Fair
field upon the orderly conduct at every
precinct, upon the fairness and honesty
of the election and upon the VOTE

A Circuit Judge Wanted.

There is no time lost in these days
when probable vacancy is to occur in a
public office. No s3oner is it known that
Judge Earle will be elected United States
Senator than prospective candidates are
mentioned to fill the vacancy on the
bench caused by his retirement therefrom,
and all the counties are not heard from
vet. Greenville leads off with the sug-
gestion of three can didates at once, while
there is more judicial timber in the back
ground. Messrs. B. NJ. Sbuman, NJ. F.
Ansel and Jos. a. Mccullough are
credited by their friends with aspirations
for the bench, and as matters now stand
they will all enter the race TO succeed
Judge Earle. Mr.. II. j. Haynsworth has
been mentioned also, but there is not
much likelihood that he will be a candi-
date. Capt. g. G. Wells would make a
prime favorite with the bar, owing to his
learning and experience, but his legal
practice will prove more alluring than
the reduced salary Of a Circuit Judge,
which is now 81, 750-
Abbeville has not yet spoken, nor
indeed has any other county except An
derson an avowed candidate. 1t is stated
that Mr.. John e. Breazeale, who was
defeated for this office by Judge Earle,
will enter the lists beyond question, and
hope for better luck next time. He is
now the code commissioner of the State,
elected for term of ten years at a salary
of $500 per annum. Mr.. James l.. Trib-
BILE, of Anderson, has been suggested as
suitable material for judicial honors, but
no hint is given that he desires to get upon
the bench.
Among the young lawyers of the cir
cult who will be considered as worthy to
wear the ermine are w. G. MCGOWAN and
Ellis G. Graydon of Abbeville, r. Il.
Jaynes and w. J. Stribling, of Walhalla,
and Julius e. Boggs, of Plckens. 1t has
grown into custom of late years to look
around among the young mon when q
Judgeship is vacant, which is in striking
contrast to former days wien men were
always selected for ripper age and longer
practice than is usual in these record
breaking times.-Greenville M0nntaineer.

The State Prison.

The Board of Directors of the Peniten-
tiary held its regular monthly meeting
yesterday and transacted many matters
of routine nature.
The population at the Penitentiary has
materially decreased since the county
chain gang law went into effect. There
are now only $50 prisoners in prison and
before the chain gang law was commenced
there were ], 200 confined within the walls.
Many prisoners are sentenced after con-
viction to hard labor on the gangs and
occasionally the alternate sentence of
serving either in the Penitentiary or on
the gang is passed. Generally, prisoner
who is sentenced for term ofa year or
two is sentenced to the chain gang and this
accounts for the decrease in the number
of convicts in the Penitentiary.
However, enough prisoners are in the
Penitentiary to keep all the various de-
partments running as usual.-C0lumbia

The Court House continues to be an
eyesore to majority of the taxpayers,
and as we are going to have vote on the
question of building new one at the ap-
preaching general election, it behooves
every advocate of the new building to be-
gin to talk it up. The appearance of the
Court House is bad enough, but that is
not circumstance when compared with
the insecurity of the valuable records
stored in the several Offices. The build
ing can be replaced should it be destroy
ed by fire, but the records could not be
replaced. The present building is not
sufficient to accommodate the County Of
ticers, and as consequence the County
has to rent four Offices outside. In ten
years this rent money would 60 long

HARD TIMES.

Who, has not heard Of hard times from
his earliest recollection The truth is,
nothing else has ever been heard about
the times. only that they were hard. A
few times the accusation is not made, but
only few. What some one ought to tell
US is, that speaking after that way has be-
come too much of habit with US. And
if fsuch friend would be perfectly candid
and speak the whole truth, he would tell
rs that such talk helps to make times
hard and does no possible good, that we
should take manlier and more hopeful
view oflife and its blessings, thank God
and take courage.
flour friend was fatherly towards US
he would tell US that we are making bad
showing for ourselves and our country,
that constant depreciating of a man or
country does not, never did nor never
will help to make either better; that such
may easily become crime.
Our friend might feel forced to admit
that money does not freely circulate, per-
haps not as freely as usual; but he could
never admit that the money was all gone
from among US. That is not true. The
money is here. and great deal of it, too.
60 ask your banker, if you do not believe
It. The statement is repeated, the money
is here, but lack of confidence in one an
other hides it away. The talk about hard
times has been so common and persistent
that each one is seeking shelter. We
have well-nigh talked up panic.
Men who make it business to give out
information about such things may laugh
at our ignorance if it suits them; but the
statement is made in all soberness that
the country is prosperous, the people are
generally we'll off and doing we'll. What
is needed is confidence in each other, con-
fdence in ourselves, confidence in prov
idence and pushing forward in the du-
ties of life, and this constant talk about
hard times has tended to destroy conf
dence.
God has blessed this land with his
choicest and best. We would not allow
any one to say that we as people are in
fsrior to any. Let US take the best view
and cease complaining.
