SEPARATION was derived from that soul
stirring hymn "My Country 'Tis of
Thee"
The speaker, B. E. Nicholson, Esq,
was introduced by Rev., Mr.. Davis, of
the Methodist church. In this intro
duction Mr.. Dauis, among other things,
said that it was not necessary to make
any remarks in reference to the young
gentleman about to address them as
all Edgefield knew this worthy son of
noble father. This compliment to
Mr.. Nicholson was the best that could
be uttered referring to the character
of any young man, but what followed
made it evident that it was not all that
could be said of him. Mr.. Nicholson
is perhaps the youngest member of the
Edgefield bar, but in his speech on
this occasion exhibited Very forcibly
the fact that age and experience are
not always requisite to high degree
of development. This address was re-
plete with the results of deep thought
and steady reflection. 1t is often de-
plored that in a speech manifesting
these same characteristics that the
speaker has the mind but not the ora
torical power to oimpart the benefits of
his research in an interesting manner
to his audience Mr.. Nicholson pos
sesses the gift of pnblic speaking. he
has a drawing magnetic personality,
and his powers are not limited to the
acquiring of delightful ideas, but the
imparting of them in an impressive
manner, as well, to all who listen to
MIN. He will doubtless be growing
light to brighten and glorify Edge
fields future history.

Sam Jones on Election of Judges,

I don't know how far the people
of Kentucky have lost faith in
partisan c,urts and partisan
Judges. I do know that the
bulwark of our liberty and the very
foundation stone Of our govern
ment rests in the faith of the people
in an lncorruptible judiciary.
When or courts become partisan
or are moved by partyism, then
the ship of state is adrift at seat
wlthou, chart or compass, at the
mercy of the storm.
A judge ought to be q man, true.
genuine, unbiased by partyism,
uuprejudiced by politics, unmoved
by the clamor of gangs or cliques.
He ought to know nothing when ne
sits in judgment but right and
wrong, and do the right and refuse
to do the wrong if the heavens
fall.
1 doubt the propriety and
policy that make the judgeshlp q
nolitical Office and turns the
iLdical ermine ever into the
political realm. believe there
ought to be in each state of this
union a commission appointed to
select and elect the judges of our
judicial circuits. Sorry Georgia
has inaugurated the plan of
electing the judges by popular
vote.
A man may be very poor man
and turn out to be very poor
Judge. Ittakes grit and integrity
and manhood to make judge. l
feel that this election ofjndges by
popular vote will put IN some
clever fellow who will, like the
Judge who asked the negro who
WAS arraigned for some
misdemeanor before him if he had
counsel to represent him.
He asked the. judge what that
was. The judge replied, @Have
you lawyer to attend to your
case?" "No," said the negro, 81
don't needs no lawyer" "What
are you going to do? Are you go.
ing to defend yourself and be your
own attorney" "No," he said,
"Marse Judge, Pm just going to
throw myself on the Ignorance of
the court"
1 don't think il the wisest and best
to throw thejndge head over heels
into politics or.in any manner put
him under any obligations to any
human being who may have a
case that will come before him for
As a rule, a first
class judge is not popular with
many people and may not be a
good politician.-New York Jour-

FARMERS TO WAR ON TOLLGATEs

Indianapolis. Ind. Sept. 5.-The farm CTS of Cass county have declared war against the owners of the Burlington turnpike. who insist upon collecting toll for travel on the road. The com pany has employed fifty or sixty men to guard the tollgates at night and the farmers have organized to tear down the structures. Tongate Keepers smith and Myers have received notices from the farmers that they would destroy the tollhouses and have been warned that if any resistance is made their lives will pay the penalty. The campany has guards at all the bridges on the road. The men are heavily armed and have been instructed to protect the pr F-rty at any cost.
 So threatening has the situation be- come that the sheriff of Cass county has advised the governor that he may need assistance in uphOIding the law. and the executive has ordered the mili- tia company at Peru to be in rsaiine s to march at a moments notice. It is said that the mubs had arranged to make a descent upon the guards on Saturday night and again last night. but violent storms prevented the r2id- CTS from reaching the place of assemb- ling.

NO DETECTION EXISTS
Travelling Men Say Mckinley Will
 Get Their Votes.

Democratic b asts If detection among travelling men are not borne out by investigation and inquiry. The demo- cratic claim that the trusts have cut down the number of trave.ing men by 00,000 is ridiculous, as all self respect ing dIJEnmers will tell any one who will ask the question. Mr. Herbert Knight, of a large Chicago dry goods house, in the city yesterday. said: We have no kick coming on the admin istration of President Mckinley. No administration since the war has met so many delicate and mOmentOus ques-
 tons. Mckinley has dealt with all these crises with the ability of a great statesman. The country today is in more prosperous condition than at any
 time in my memory l am interested
 in politics and I have made q special point to inquire for defection in the ranks of travelling men. I have found not one who has gone over to the dem ocratic ticket. I fear Bryan because I believe that Altgeld is the brains Of that man, and we all know what Ali- geldism means. Traveling men gen orally take this view of the situation and will vote against Bryan because

Dr. B. W. Craig's Visit to the Paris
 Exposition.

Dr. R. w. Craig returned home yes terlay morning from what was first intended t5 be a little visf." in the east. He left here last June for Chi cago and after arriving there took ad- vantage of an opportunity to jcin q party of physicians en route to the medical congress which met recently in Paris.
 Passing over all the ordinary incl G-n,s that transplre In d visit to the eastern part 0f this country. the doctor said in q few minutes intervilw last night that he w,nt first to London, then Ipswich and finally Paris. In all ,ne cities named he saw much of in tertst and had most enjoyable visits. The medical congress was i.l1 sTent he greatly dppreciat- d. a. he saw in the vast assemblage thousands GT the mosc brilliant men in his profession. For tunateiy his party included pr. Mur- phy of Chicago, whose invention of the Murphy button. d valuable thing ir surgery. has made him Famous all ,ver the world. He was given q gr at oVa ion when his arrival at the con gress was made known.
 Speaking of the eXposi ion. Dr. Craig said it was certainly a great fair, but the buildings and their arrangement fir miles up and down the Seine Vcie not nearly SD impressive to the visitor as the magnificent structures of the Columbian eXpusitiOn. There was SO much tO see and his time was 90 short that he gave little heed to details.
 His journey both going and coming was q very pleasant ono and he lz glud t3 g,t home again.
 Asked aboUl the prospects for winter visitors to Phoenix, he said there would be more people here by far tne coming winter than eyer before. Every pty- sician he met in the east has his eye on PhaeniX and is recommending it for d winter rtSOrt.

DEATH OF MRS. T. E. DALTON
The Peaceful Ending of Lingering
 Illness.

At a late hour yesterday afternoon Mrs. Thomas E. Dalton. of this city. passed away She had been patient and long-suffering, confined to her bed for many months. and death came as a welcome release.
 Her numerous friends have tried to show. by floral gifts and d myriad of pretty remembrances. how close she was to their hearts-and no one could appreciate this more than she. No Wp- man in Phoenix has ever endeared her self to the hearts of relatives and friends more than Mrs. Dalton. A true Chris tian, and carrying her religion into everyday practice. none fortunate enough to claim acquaintance with her, has failed to be aided and uplifted by her influence.
 When the summons finally came it found her fully prepared. and. sur rounded by her husband and her three nieces, she passed painlessly into that better life toward which she has so confidently looked.
 It will be remembered nearly two years ago, when in the very best of health, and possessed of unusual strength and vitality, Mrs. Dalton was stricken down with the dread diS- ease to which she has finally sue cumbed. and during all this time sle retained her light-heartedness. her infinite interest in and charity for all people who came in any degree into her life.
 William Jennings Bryan called upon her when in Phoenix last year and the episode afforded her great pleasure.
 While no announcement of the flu neral has been made it is possible that it will take place on Friday.
