THIS little speech OF Mr.. Huger
Sinkler of Charleston. in nominating
Mr.. r. w. Memminger for judgeship
is we'll worth reading:
There Is no position so high In the
gift Of the people as judgeship. In
the sanctity Of the office Is the security
and strength Of our civilization. The
judiciary is the vicegerent Of God IN
the administration Of human justice.
To the Judge who has a true concep-
ton of his exalted Office no artifice can
deceive, no wealth can bribe, no pow
er can overawe. In his correct con-
duct and critical sagacity the morals
and laws Of a people are settled ana
standardized. TOO often political hon
ors are as evanescent as the dew, put
the remembrance Of righteous judge
Is embalmed in the hearts OF his peo-
pie. It gives me pleasure to present
a man who will wear worthily the err
mine, and deliver 1t when demanded
without stain or reproach. I nominate
the Hon. r. w. Memminger for judge
Of the 9Th judicial circuit.

NOTE AND COMM ENT.

The railroads will allow rate of
one fare plus 25 cents on account OF
the cotton convention to be held In
Columbia next Tuesday.
There will be no rural mails on
next Wednesday, Washington's birth
day, the postoffice department having
sent out orders to that effect,
The ten circuit law will not In.
crease the number Of terms OF court
in the various counties; but VIII make
the terms longer, where necessary.
Hereafter the business of the summer
term for York county will include
common pleas jury business.
The Southern railroad has not yet
paid the judgment that was recorded
against 1t In the famous Brickman
case. The jury. 1t will be remembered.
assessed damages to the amount OF
s55. 600. and Judge Watts reduced these
figures to $4,000. In due time the
railroad people gave notice Of appeal
and have been waiting on transcript
of the testimony before determining
on further steps. 1t Is quite probable
that the case will go to the supreme
court unless some agreement be reach
ed between the parties at interest In
the meantime.
While there is general sympathy
with the acreage reduction proposition
of the Southern Cotton Growers asso-
ciation, a great many farmers through
out this section take the view that the
scheme will not bear on all alike, and
Is therefore inequitable. There are
farmers who undertake to cultivate
from twenty to twenty-five acres or
more of cotton to the plow. and there
are others who never think OF cultivat-
ing more than ten acres. many limit
ing themselves to only five or SIX
acres. These farmers who are accus-
toned to put the smaller acreage In
cotton are unable to see why they
should be required to reduce to the
same proportion as the others. 1t can
hardly be denied that the point is
we'll taken, and how the inequality can
tbe remedied is a rather difficult prob
lem.

Letter to a Yori<vilIe Lawyer,


Dear Sir: AS your business Is to get
people into and out of trouble, suppose
you consider their paint; 1t makes EN-
almost as much trouble as money, ex-
cept Of course matrimony.
They buy poor paint a good deal;
they don't mean to; they don't know
any better; they buy without think
ing. Bad paint isn't good. 1t looks
good enough for a year; then begins
to get rusty; but changes so slowly,
one don't notice 1t.
Looking isn't all. The business OF
paint Is to keep a house dry INSIDE, the
wood and iron Of 1t; keep 1t from rot
ting and rusting. Takes good paint
to do it. .'
Good and bad paint are sold at one
price or about that. One can't go Dy
the price at all: as with lawyers. the
price has nothing to do with goodness
or badness: and costs are worse YET;
the painter and sheriff come-in for
their share.
But the probability is that man,
who paints Devoe, will come-out on
top. Yours truly,
FW DEvoE & Co
P. S.-J. ]. Keller & Co., sell our
paint.

people thought they were experiencing
an earthquake shock. In several cases
frightened people went to their doors
and saw what they thought were the
shadows Of men. or boys, thrown from
behind trees b. the moonlight, and de-
cided that they were the victims Of
practical jokers. Reports from differ
ent quarters indicate that the phe-
nomenon was observed quite generally.
1t was due to contraction Of wet tim

and it seems to be widening rather
than otherwise. Just what the real
cause Of it would require great deal
of talk to explain. The fact however,
that the president wants his way and
the senate would like to be consulted
accounts for much of the trouble.
There is no doubt of the fact that the
railroad rate question caused much
friction; but the senators were too
foxy to make much of a fuss about
that. They know that the president
is right and that on appeal he will be
sustained by the people. They are
therefore fighting along another line,

retary and treasurer, ]. T. Crawford,
c. S. Gordon, J. F. Bookout and w. H.
Dunlap, committee.
j. T. Crawford and C. g. Gordon
were elected delegates to the county
convention. The New Orleans plan was
adopted unanimously. The committee
on acreage has canvassers out to see
every one. The colored farmers are
signing the pledge to curtail 20 per
cent. The sentiment is so unanimous
here that 1t requires no talk to get
farmers to sign the agreement. Sew
eral parties who have not planted more
than ten acres per plow for several
years are agreeing to curtail 25 per
cent further or more II necessary.

THE Venezuelan government has
seized lands belonging to the American
Asphalt company, and information
from Washington is to the effect that
this government will probably take
some very decided action within the
next few days. The matter has been
a subject of serious dispute for quite
a while, and the relations between the
governments at Washington and Car
