JUDGE Gruber has refused the mo-
ton for a new trial in the case Of w.
T. Jones just as everybody including
the lawyers, no doubt, expected he
would The case has been appealed to
the supreme court as was understood
to be the next move. The supreme
court, of course, will affirm the judg-
ment Of the court below, and then -.
AS we see it, it is merely question as
to whether the lawyers will have the gall
to start the whole thing over again,
and If so. whether there is any way to
put a stop to such ridiculous trifiing
with the law.

GubernatoraI Campaign Dope

Here is the dope on the race for gov
ernor: The contest lies between
Featherstone, Prohibitionist, and Nc
Leod. county optionist. Both are
clean. able, sincere and popular men.
Featherstone has the better of it.
John G.. Richards is good man
but does not fit into the situation. He
says he is a Prohibitionist. but he is
late convert. He fought for the
state dispensary to the last ditch. +.
II. Hyatt is running on business
mans" platform and ought to have
a better chance than he has. He is an
advocate of good roads and is fine
man. The thing had already been
shaped up before he got in, therefore
nothing doing for Hyatt.
Cole l.. Blease is one of the ablest
men in the bunch, but he is as usual
on the wrong side. He made a better
race two years ago than he will make
again. Right there is where he prob
ably made a mistake. There was no
reason why anybody should oppose
Governor Ansel two years ago and the
reasons urged by Blease for the defeat
of AnSel were speciOus and ftimsy
Duncans candidacy, Of course, is not
taken seriously.
This is the view of newspaper
that is strictly independent in politics
and is not hooked up with either OF
the candidates. entioned.-Spartan-

THE Newberry Observer, which is
bitterly opposed to the system of ro-
tating the circuit judges from one cir
cult to the other, thinks that Judge
Dantzler was a victim of that system
AS to whether this system had any
thing to do with shortening the life of
Judge Dantzler, we do not know; but
we think that there are many serious
objections to the system and agree
with the Observer that it should be
changed. Let each circuit judge re-
main in his own circuit, and he can
get in better touch with conditions,
and do more to bring about needed i'm
provements.

TO THE CANDIDATE.

This is a free country in which ev-
cry citizen is supposed to have all the
rights Of every other citizen. There Is
nothing new about it: but 1t is prop
osition that should be remembered by
would-b candidates and by the public
i'm connection with their relation to
each other.
There are men who would like to be
candidates: but who are afraid. The
principal thing they are afraid OF Is
defeat. and the dread of defeat is OF
ten so strong that they refrain from
taking any chances even when all
chances seem to be in their favor.
Whether this fear is based upon ma
turaI characteristic of human nature
or whether it is a development of GUS
tom and tradition, it is difficult to say;
but it is wrong.
Where there is only one office to be
filled and two aspirants to fill il, both
cannot he elected. or course. the win
