A Counterfeiter Caught.

On Monday the 18th, Harold Mar
quisee, of Utica, N. Y, was arrested in
Syracuse, n. Y, on a warrant sworn out
by the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,
charging him with forgery. On the 18th
of December Marquisee visited photo
engraver in Syracuse, saying he was the
representative Of the DR.. Williams Med
icine Co., and arranged for the making
of full set of plates for the direction
sheets, labels, etc, of the famous DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
News Of this reached the home office,
and no time was lost in arranging for
his arrest when he should return for
the plates. He returned on the 18th
and was accordingly arrested and is now
in jail in Syracuse awaiting examina-
ton, which occurred on March I'd.

Etiquette of the Sanctunl.

An eastern exchange says that il bas
2 letter from lady, asking whether she
ought to knock at the door Of an
editors sanctum. The paper proceeds
to discuss the etiquette of the editorial
rooms, and makes some very good sug-
gestions as to the question of knocking,
when desiring to enter. 1t says on that
point, the rule is clearly defined
If the person comes to bring a news
item, or an advertisement, or desires to
pay subscription, the proper thing Is
to enter promptly without knocking
But if the person desiring admission is
on a collecting tour, or has a subscrlp
tion paper, or wants to give advice to
the editor, the proper thing to do is to
send in a card, and then to wait until
sent for, which would probably not be
until the pext day, and possibly busi-
ness might prevent any response.

Colonel Hancock was descendent of
the famous John Hancock, signer of the
Declaration of Independence. Lyman

Most of the time since the war he has
been resident of Michigan, where be
has served in both branches of the
Legislature.
+. T. Ferris, who entered as a private,
reached the rank of lieutenant-colonel,
was for ten years a manufacturer at
Fond du Lac, and has for twenty years
resided in Montana, where he has been
prominent in politics, serving i'll the
legislature and as department COM
mander of tie Grand Army. The first
ieutenant-colonel Isaac Z. Messmore,
was circuit Judge before the war, re-

Of the Thirty from which he re-
signed about year later. He was for
many years a resident Of Grand Rapids,
Michigan, where he was editor of a pa
per, and after that resided in Indiana,
where he ran for congress. Van Epps
Young was one of the adiutants, but
was promoted to lieutenant-colonel of a
Louisiana regiment. Colonel Young
served in our state senate soon after the
war from Sheboygan county. As good
a soldier as the Fourteenth had was
Capt. Frederick H. Magdeburg. He
has been prominent in Milwaukee busi-
ness circles ever since the war. 1t was
Captain Magdeburg who took the Hi

claimed that it was not the Fourteenth
that captured the piece of artillery at
Shiloh.
Samuel A. Harrison, who started a
private and became captain, was pro-
NOTED to lieutenant-colonel of the Sixth

Preachers mOnish ed.

The Governor OF the State has sent circu-
lars to the preachers for an expression OF
opinion on the dispensary law. We under
stand the News and Courier TO advise preach
ers TO have nothing TO do with 1t. and to
make no responses.
When we remember that the News and
Courier Is an irnplacable foe to the present re.
strictions and safeguards which are placed
around the sale of whskey, we can well d.
vine the reason for not wanting to hear from
the preachers.
Sometime ago the News and Courier sent
requests to the Legislators for their iexpres-
sion OF opinion on the subject. From the
reading OF some of the letters from members
OF the General Assembly, and from that pa
per's dread of expressions from preachers, we
may well entertain the belief that the editor
knows when he has enough. He is no glut-
ton for receiving letters on the emperance
question.
The probability is that few preachers would
align themselves with the foreign liquor deal
er In his effort to break down the present re-
strictions on the sale of hquor

The Election of Judges.

The newspapers are making note OF the
fact that new judges are TO be elected by the
next legislature. The judges whose terms are
now TO expire are:
Chief Justice McIver,
1st Circuit, Judge Benet.
3rd Circuit. Judge Buchanan.
4th Circuit, Judge Watts.
9th Circuit, Judge Witherspoon.
Sth Circuit, Judge Klugh.
1t is said that Judge Witherspoon will not
stand for reelection.
Judge Kugh having been recently elected
Tor an unexpired term, and he having dis.
charged the duties Of his position with salts.
faction to all. II is not likely that any fight
will be made upon him, and that the same
legislature which elected him in the first in
stance will re-elect him as a matter Of course.
His ability and his conservative course COM
mend him to all factions, but in the case OF
some Of the others 1t is likely that for politi-
cal reasons. a strong fight will be made against
their reelection.
How far that fight may 60, we believe de.
pends largely on the order Of the election. II
the election Of Chief Justice should come of
before Charleston developes her hostility to
the Reform Judges it is quite probable that
McIver will be his own successor. The peo.
pie are inclined to forgive Judge McIver for
his effort to break up the dispensary some
two or three years ago, and the Reformers are
not now disposed to raise factional issues.
BY having the election OF Chief Justice come
Off before the fsctional feelings is aroused
Chief Justice McIver Is reasonably safe. Ev-
cry conservative will, of course. vote for him,
and this vote added to the Reform vote that
would go that way will settle that question.
Judge Watts will likely have opposition
from candidates In his own political faction.
The same may be said ofJudge Buchanan.
But the chief fight in the legislatures elec-
tion Of judges will be made against Judge
Benet. His politics doesn't suit Charleston ,
although We presume his ability has never
. been questioned by friend or foe. When his
election comes off it is quite probable that the
effort to defeat him will martial the full force
OF the Reform faction. The warm blood that
will be aroused in his contest may possibly
have an influence on the election OF other
judges.
Viewed from our standpoint 1t Is OF vital
importance to Judge McIver that his elec-
ton should come off before feeling is aroused
by Charleston's war on Judge Benet. But
whether udge Benet's election comes off ear
ly or late 1t is quite probable that he will be
elected. This legislature is almost sure to re-
elect one of the ablest judges that South Caro-
lima has ever had. Some OF the Reformers,
too, will recollect Charleston's s conduct in de-
flying the en- forcement of the liquor law, and
for this reason, may not be willing to yield
to Charleston's demand that the Reformers
repudiate one Of their ablest judges.
