MEANS BETTER PRICES.

The tobacco farmers know that their
only permanent hope for fair prices
for their tobacco lies in competition.
If one trust buys all their product,
human experience shows that it will
pay very little for it. If several con-
Germs wish the tobacco the competi-
ton will put up the price. Therefore.
this item from Dillon, S. c., to the
Charleston News and Courier, will in
terest all tobacco growers:
"Messrs Watkins & Moore have an
excellent corps of buyers, represent
ing the American Tobacco Company
and the Imperial Tobacco Company,
While notice has been received that the
japanese Government will shortly

HARD TO GET RID OF BAD
JUDGES.

1.-The next popular reform move
ment must comprehend a revolution
in the methods of choosing the MEM
bers of the judiciary" declares julius
Chambers in an article in the Brook
Ign Eagle. This was no doubt prompt
ed by the spectacle of Judge Hooker,
escaping punishment because the re-
quired majority could not be obtained
against him, and a judge of the New
York city court who is party TO the
black mailing of 1.-The Smart Set" re-
Gently exposed.
The South has been cursed for TWEEN
ty-fve years with vicious and Venal
Federal judges. With some notable eX-
ceptions, most of the men named nave
been unfit for the high office, appoint
ed as a reward for dirty political work
or to be the tools of railroads, or
both. Last winter the whole South
felt the day of deliverance had come
when the Federal House Of Represen-
tatives preferred articles of impeach-
ment of a Florida Federal judge. But
the necessary two-third vote could
not be obtained in the Senate, and
the proceedings failed. The case
against the Florida judge seemed the
strongest. If that jurist had been I'M
frocked, impeachment proceedings
against other men who disgrace the
ermine would have been commenced.
But. as the Senate seemed resolved
to keep such unworthy men on the
bench, there seems no good reason for
preferring charges. Some judges have
good reason for congratulating the
Florida brother who escaped by the
skin of his teeth.
Nearly every State in the Union
has abandoned the appointment Of
judges for life. They are generally
elected for a long period, six to twelve
years. That was great Improvement,
for when an incapable or unworthy
Judge chances to be elected-and
that is not often-the people can re-
tire him when his term expires. JEFF
ferson was right when he said that
the impeachment method of getting
rid of bad judges would not remedy
the evil. He foreSaW what happened
in the case of the Florida judge and
in other instances. The only remedy
is a fixed term, and election instead
of appointment. At least MEN of Of
ten of the Federal judges in the South
for thirty years were men who could
not have been elected to the bench,
and to keep such men on the people
for life is an imposition that ought
not to be possible in a country where
the people are supposed to rule.
Let the Federal judges be elected
by the peOplei

last year. 1t is possible to ship 100
pounds of cotton goods from Chicago
to Boston for $1.25. A shipment of
the same from Chicago to Salt Lake
City costs $3.50.
Here's the situation in a nutshell.
A shipper would be saving money by
sending his goods from Boston to San
Francisco and then to Salt Lake City.
He could do it cheaper.
ITO give facts that you will under
stand even better: If you shipped
goods from Toledo to New York for
expectation to a foreign country the
rate would be from one-third to one
half under the charge that would be
made if the goods were to be consurn>
ed in New York"
There are plenty more like argu-
ments in favor Of comforting upon the
Interstate Commerce Commission the
power to protect shippers. The only
argument against it is that the rail-
roads wish to charge whatever they
please.

LET US HAVE REST.

Why should Raleigh be thrown into
the turmoil of an election on the whis-
key question this year? The incep-
ton of the petition-toting now going
on in Raleigh originated with the
wholesale liquor dealers who wish to
open Raleigh, and ex-saloon keepers,
who wish to go back into business.
Most of the money to pay the petition
toters and to pay for signatures is be-
ing put up by liquor men away from
man listen TO outsiders who have no
interest except to feather their own
nest?
Do not be deceived by the talk that
the petition oters have got a large
number of qualified names. That talk
is bluff. They are using every in
fluence possible to get names. Some
Inen have been induced to sign upon
the statement that under the petition
the Board of Aldermen will order an
election SO that a man can vote fol
prohibition if he wishes to do so. That
is not correct. Inc petition says, LOT
saloons and voters must vote either
'for saloons" or to retain the disDen-
sary.
Some folks are signing the petition
because they wish to get the saloon
back into politics and intno the pri-
maries Raleigh people who wish
good government know that the po-
liticaI activity of the saloons is dam
aging to good government and they do
not wish to invite return to saloon
domination in politics. Signing the
petition opens the way to make that
politics.
Nobody in Raleigh believes that sa
looms can win unless the Whiskey
manufacturers and dealers pour mon.
ey into Raleigh to debauch the voters.
Every man who signs the petition "for
saloons" invites that sort of a cam
paign in Raleigh, whether he intends
to do so or not.
Don't sign the petition. Let us have
rest this fall and freedom from hot
campaign

SROCKEFELER IN GLOOM.
Worlds Richest Mans Greatest Inter-
est in Clippings.

A special dispatch to the New York
Herald from Cleveland, Ohio, says:
"John d. Rockefeller thirsts for
sympathy, hungers for kind word.
With his uncounted millions and his
mastery of men, his lifelong ambition
gratif1ed and no more worlds left Tor
his conquering the richest man in the
world sits by the hour at Forest Hill,
his chin sunk on his breast, or walks
for hours under the trees of his mag
nificent estate always alone, except
for his guards, who keep at dis
lance from him, always in gloom He
has lost interest in golf; he has be-
come mOrose. Never free in his con-
versations with his employees, he now
speaks only when absolutely neces-
sary and then gives his directions
tersely and absently.
His greatest interest now is in his
press clipping bureau, which is known
to be a system perfected as highly
as those maintained for the bene-
fit of kings. The flood of printed
denunciation recently let loose upon
him eXe1 cises over him a fascination
from which he cannot escape, though
the inevitable consequence is humil-
iation and heartburning. The latest
Tarbell article was no exception. Every
word, from the authors imputation
that his wealth had beSmirched char
itv and education wherever it had
touched them, to the unsparing au-
topsy on his physiOgnomy and the
verdict on it, showing the Oldest man
in the world, a living mummy was
read by her subject with avidious GU
riosity. The last sentence, it is said,
was punctuated with this eXclama-
ton:

A Hint to South Carolina.

A rice planter Of the North Carolina
east coast has found that he can grow
the finest quality of celery in his rice
fields. Like the rice growers of this
State the North Carolina planters
have been ut d loss to know what they
shall do with their no longer profitable
rice fields. The Wilmington planter

acres of celery and the results are said
to be entirely satisfactory. The mat
ter is worthy Of investigation on the
part of the planters in this State. The
growing of celery might at least de-
velop into a profitable side-line.

Deadly diabetes, gravel or stone in
