Mayor Hayward Mahon of G~reenville
will expose himself to the enflading
volleys of Democratic ballots in a race
for Congress this year against the past,
present and possibly future incumbent,
the Hon. Joseph II. Johnson whom we
nightly helped to raise-meaning by
eve" not the editorial 1--WE" but Lau-
rens county, = though the editorial
Eve" has at sundry times been a siren
uous Joe Johnsonian.
This year the Johnson habit will again
be strong in Laurens though the Hon.
Hayward Mahon is said to be one of
the best men on the inside of jeans.
We have no objection to Mr.. Mahon
acting as pace-maker for the statesman
from Ware Shoals-exercise will do the
latter good and keep him from putting
on too much fiesh-to which he tends,
but MIR. Mahon is in our judgment not
the only man in the District whom
johnson can beat.
Meanwhile what about that postofice
building for Laurens? Laurens has voted
good and strong and constant for every
Congressman and United States Sena-
tor who has been in office from this
District and State since 1886 and where
are the emoluments? Laurens is stand
ing by Tillman, Laurens is standing
under johnson and Laurens even voted
for that we'll known fre-extinguisher,
h Hon. Asbury c. Latimer and Lau-
rens has nothing more than the aver
age outfit of free rural routes to show
for these eXertions. Meanwhile we
hear of talk of public buildings for An
derson, Union, Chester, Rock Hill and
all the other sites of ancient and ruined
taverns in South Carolina; while in
Greenville, Florence and a few other
TRUSTING places for disappointed lovers
the buildings are actually rearing their
stately heads and piercing the blue
Cerulean with tall towers and glitter
ing minarets.
In this year of beauty and bounty
and good cheer we hope hat Messrs.
Johnson, Mahon and others, if others
there be, will u for as we'll as in the
county and town of Laurens.
A $4,000 post office would do us
though it might have cost two million
in this town-which ought to be a con-
vincing argument saving to the fed
eral treasury 81, 925, 600 and all good
purposes served and appearances main
tanned.

NEGRO RAPISr WILL BE HANGED.
Andrew Thompson of GreenyiIle Con.
victed of Criminal Assault.

Andrew Thompson will hang Friday,
March 2, for criminally a~ssaulting Mrs.
Frank James nea Taylors on December
18.
He was arraigned in the court of gen
eral sessions at Greenville and entered
a plea of not guilty. A. H. Dean as
sisted by Solicitor Boggsi in the prosecu-
tion, j. j. McSwain appearing for the
defendant.
Ter witnesses were sworn for the
prosecution, Mrs. James being spared
the ordeal of t~estifying. Thompson
himself was the only witness in de-
Tense. After arguments, all of which
were very brief, the jury retired, re-
turning within less than half an hour
with a verdict of guilty.
Judge Aidrich commanded Thompson
to stand up, and asked if he had any
thing to say why sentence of death
should not be passed upon him. He did
not reply, whereupon Judge Aldrich
slowly and sternly read the sentence.
Thompson took his death warrant
with the outward calm characteristic of
negro criminals. He is a black darkey
of medium height and build, with down
cast, shifty eyes and an air of sullen
defiance. He is about thirty-eight
years old and has a family living near
the scene of his crime.
Saved from swiftvengeance by lynch
ing, through the efforts of a magis-
trate and a constable, Thompson was
placed in the Greenville county Jail.
Later ugly rumors regarding plans to
break in the Jail and take his life
reached Sheriff Gilreath, and he had
Deputy Sheriff Ballenger spirit the ne
gro away to Anderson. He has been
kept in safe custody by Sheriff Green
of Anderson, very few people knowing
his whereabouts until Judge Aldrich or
dered him brought back to Greenville
for trial.
The last hanging in the Greenville
county Jail took place several months
ago, when Fletcher Byrd was executed
for the murder of Magistrate Cox, his
companion, Palmer Creswell, being re-
spited ten hours before he was hanged
for the same crime. Creswell and
Thompson now occupy the same cell.
Creswell's respite expires soon, and
unless further action is taken in his
case, he will soon follow Thompson to
the gallows.

THE
This is from the Columbia Record:

This is from the Columbia Record:
"All judges whose terms had expired
We're reelected. So long as a Judge
ILLS the duties of his office acceptably
there is every reason why he should be
retained. Life tenure for judges is a
proposition growing in favor, but in the
absence of that the principle of retain
ing. them as long as they are competent
n satisfactory is just as good"
We endorse the Records expression.
1t expresses our view exactly. Because
we would have been glad to see our fell
low citizen, Senator Frank MCGOWAN, a
judge we said nothing before the cleo
ton. 1t would have seemed ungracious
for a Laurens newspaper to interfere
with the aspirations of a worthy Laurens
man, but we do say here and now that
we believe in the wisdom of retaining
on the bench any and all judges who
show even ordinary efficiency. A COM
mon place lawyer elected judge will de-
velop rapidly if he be given to under
stand that his position is secure. The
ablest and best of judges, on the other
hand, will be influenced more or less by
political considerations if the office is to
be regarded as a political prize.
We do not know Judge j. C. Klugh,
but we have heard lawyers say hat he
is an honorable and capable man. We
hope that he and Judge Ernest Gary
and Judge George w. Gage and Judge
Richard C. Watts and all the others
will be allowed to remain on the bench
until they choose to retire.
Our friend Mr.. MCGOWAN deserves to
be a judge, and we have no doubt that
he will be elected to a judgeship some
of these days. Vancancies will occur
and Mr.. MCGOWAN will be in demand.
