JUDGE KLUGH TO RESIGN.

There will soon be vacancy
on the bench in the eight circuit.
On account Of continued feeble
health, Judge Klugh will tender
his resignation before the con-
vening Of the General Assembly,
and when this became known, the
friends of prominent lawyers are
making known their wishes with
regard to a successor to the re.
tiring Judge. Among those men
toned for the position is the Hon.
W. n. Graydon of Abbeville, and
we sincerely hope he will be Sc
lected for this high place. Mr..
Graydon is no novice at the Bar.
He has been a successful practic.
ionec for twenty five years. serv-
ed his county in the State Senate
two terms, and while member
of that body his judicial mind ap-
pealed to his colleagues who had
the most profound respect for
his rugged honesty and splendid
ability. We know of no man who
in our opinion is better qualified
for a place where strong, even
tempered mind is necessary, and
we should be glad to see him dig
Nifty the bench Of this State.

Things become very queer to
those who will not see their faults
when pointed out by others. The
News and Courier seems to have
adopted the tactics of the Colum-
bia State, in that il criticises the
editorial expression Of another
newspaper without giving to its
readers the subject matter Of the
editorial criticised; this is not
fair, and we expected better from
the editor of that newspaper. But
then early training has its infu-
ence even as we grow older, the
present editor Of the News and
Courier began his career in the
editorial office in the Columbia
State and that newspapers fort
was it's absolute unfairness to
those who did rot agree with it,
but we do dislike to see a paper
like the News and Courier apeing
the tactics.

COTTON SHRINKING RAPIDLY.

What has been the deteriora-
ton in the cotton crop since
July: The government made up
an estimate of nearly a 15,000,-
900 bale crop, with the result
that the future market took a
slump; this estimate has been
questioned and a new estimate
will be made up from the reports
which will be sent in now, the
new figures will show whether
or not the deterioration has oeen
as great as is claimed by those
speaking for the farmer. A lit
tie travelling around must i'm
press the observer that there
will not be as much cotton made
as was at one time expected,
something has caused the stalk
to die, and the forms to fall off,
and in many instances there are
large areas already through the
making. Senator Smith has
brought about a clamor upon
the department Of agriculture
which has forced that branch Of
the service to go over the fields
of observation to correct what
is believed to be gross injustice
done to the cotton planter, and
the whole country including
Europe is waiting for the new
estimate which is expected will
reduce greatly the first given
out by the government; if the
coming estimate shows anything
like the first, the price is bound
to go lower than it is now, if,
however, it, is found the crop
has been over estimated consid-
erably: we look fora jump in the
price. There seems to be a gen
eral determination to swing on
to the product should the price
get down around 10 cents; those
who can hold Will not sell for
that figure, and there will be
arrangements made to come to
the relief of those unable to hold,
so they too, will throw their
strength against a slumping of
prices. This is one year we be-
lieve the farmers throughout
the entire belt are disposed to
stand together for the common
good. and if they do: they will
accomplish much.

There is to be an election for
governor in the State of Georgia
to FIJI the vacancy caused by the
election OF Governor Hoke Smith
to the United States Senate.
Judge Richard Russell has an
nounced his candidacy for the
Office on a local option platform.
Judge Russell declares that pro-
hibition in Georgia is failure,
and he makes his campaign on
that issue. AS yet the Prohibi-
tionists have not put anybody in
the field, but they will and the
fight promises to be interesting.
The rural communities of Geor-
gia have been strong for prohl-
bition, while the cities and the
larger towns were opposed.
Should the local optionists win
the effect will likely be felt IN
this State, and bring on more
liberal laws relating to liquor
traffic.

HIS saIEHDs ARE IfDiSCkEET.

Wequite agree with the Colum-
bia Record that the action Of the
Texas Woodrow Wilson League
by it's declaration of purposes
has not added any help to THEN
favorites' cause. Wilson is not
to be pat forward on sectional
lines, and the quicker his friends
in the South forget that he was
born in Virginia, the better 1t
will be for his chances Of getting
the Democratic nomination.
While 1t is true that Wilson was
born in the South, and naturally
his synlpathies are with the peo-
pie of the South, yet his contact
with men and affairs have been,
and are yet Of q national sphere,
aud as d national character he
should be presented and regard
ed.
We have no idea that Wilson
will get the nomination, our opin-
ion is the prize will go to Harmon
of Ohio. Notwithstanding the op.
position Of Colonel Bryan, and
we believe if Harmon is the nom
inee he will be elected. The
Ohioan belongs to the political
school of Cleveland: and it sends
out the quality Of politics approx
ed by the monied interests, as
was twice demonstrated by the
election of the only Democratic
president since the wal between
the States, it is a school of poll
tics which is unpopular in the
South, in fact, about the only
thing democratic about it is Its
name, otherwise it is about as
much Republican as the ''big in
terests" could desire, however it
is the only grade Of democracy
which can win, unless there is a
political revolution.

CAgoIIHa's SEkCoAsT RESORT,
The TIMES editor spent tn,

The TIMES editor spent the
weekend at the Isle Of Palms,
did he say he enjoyed it, would
not be sufficient to convey his ap-
probation Of this splendid health
giving resort. There IS no better,
beach anywhere, more pleasure
can be gotten for q moderate cost
than at any of the resorts we
know Of; the hotel is managed
fine, this is one summer resort on
the coast where they supply their
guests with real fish and other
sea food, that is caught within
sight OF the guests.
The property has recently been
purchased by Mr.. James Sottllle,
a business live wire. q man ';who
does things worth while, ;" all that
he asks in return, is the proper
encouragement, money with him
does not count in the cost if he
can see results. Mr.. Sottille. as
soon as the present season is over
which will be soon, is going to
spend thousands Of dollars N i'm
provements, already he has con-
tracted with carpenters and dec,
orators to build one hundred ad.
ditional rooms, and to decorate
them in up-to date style: so that
they will be cosy and a delight to
the occupants. He is going to
modernize the entire hotel, the
pavilion, restaurants, and every
thing connected with the estab-
lishment to make the resort sec
ond to none.
The writer was impressed with
Mr.. Sottille's energy and enter
prise. his requiring those con-
nected with the resort to be at
tentive to the guests, to look after
their every want, and to see to 1t
they enjoy their stay. On Labor
Day, which is September 4th,
there will be on the beach huge
motor cycle tournament and au-
tomobile races, this should at
tract q great many people from
all over the State, it will probab-
ably wind up the season, and will
be worth going to see. If the
:shome folks" will stand by Mr..
Sottille he will furnish them with
a grand place for rest and pleas
ure at a moderate cost, and they
will have a place to go to they
can feel proud of right at home.

Judge Butler in the Pennsyl-
vania lynching case ruled ''that
any one who was in the mob and
knew for what purpose the mob
was gathered is guilty of mur-
der" There is a whole lot of
good sensein this ruling, whether
it is good law or not. A mob
gathers to do an unlawful act,
those who go along with it and
lend encouragement to the pur.
pose are as guilty of the crime as
those who actually tied the rope
around the victims neck, or fire
the weapon which produces
death.

In an interview in the Balti-
more Sun former State Geolo-
gist Mr.. Earl Sloan of Charles
ton says the political conditions
in South Carolina. ''are not so
favorable. The trouble here is
that with the evolution Of an
industrial class numerically
strong: but Intellectually weak,
there IS a fine field for the de-
signing politician who is more of
a demagogue than a statesman. .
MIR. Sloan was the State Geolo-
gist for a number of years and
held the position until the CON-
ing Of the present administra-
tion, but we had never heard
any complaint from him about
the political conditions until he
lost his job. There is an indus
trial class which IS numerically
strong, but we disagree with
Mr.. Sloan that this class is
Intellectually weak, that is to say
we do not think the cotton mill
operatives as a whole are any
weaker intellectually than is the
laboring element in the large
cities; nearly every mill has
good school facilities and as a
rule, these schools are well at
tended and the men who work
IN the industrial institu tions are
fully qualified to cast an intelli-
gent vote as any other class of
voters. There is a common be-
lief that ignorance is the rule in
the mill Villages but it is not
true, our observation is that in
these villages there is as much
intelligence as is found anywhere
else, where the people have to
work for a livlihood.

IS THERE TRAFFICTING IN The PARDON
POWER.

"Investing ia the pardon pow
er" is the title of an editorial in
last Thursdays State which, if
we read Alright, is nothing more
than a covert hint that the par
doning power in this State is pur
chasable, that it is bartered for
votes. A charge of this nature
should forcethe general assembly
to take notice of it and order an
investigation. The State has a
poor opinion of the chief execu-
tive is known to all men, and what
it says about him as a rule is as
effective as a drizzle on duck S
back, but when it hints of corrup-
ton in the executive Office that is
another story, and it should be
made to appear before a properly
authorized tribunal to tell what it
knows, if itknows anything which
would be a reasonable ground for
the hint it gives out that the
pardoning power in this State is
being used for the purchase Of
votes. It is not our purpose to
place The State in an untrue light,
but we regard the editorial re-
ferred to as being as near a charge
of corruption as that newspaper
would dare make. at the same
time, with it's usual shrewdness
it leaves room TO eel it's way out
should it be called to account.
The following is the article allud-
ed to and it appears as the lead
lug editorial in that issue:
INVESTING IN THE PARDON POWDER.
Were you an average over. but one
with an income OF $500 a year, what
would you do if you were asked TO con-
tribute $500 to the campaign fund OF
candidate for governor known to be a
liberal pardoner OF criminals: You
would refuse.
But, if you were unlike most voters
in that you had close kinsman, a broth
er or brother-in-law IN the penitentlary,
YOU would cheerfully perhaps make the
5000 asked for S400, speculating in the
chance that your kiusman would be re-
unsted with his family and friends.
A parGonicg governor gains friends
that count in election year.

THE CENTRAL WAREHOUSE.

The South Carolina Farmers
Union proposes to erect a cotton
warehouse in Columbia which is
to cost about 100000. 1t is to be
a joint stock corporation, and the
shares are to be SO each. The
organization Of this corporation
is in accordance with a resolution
adopted by the State Union at its
meeting last month. We presume
this stock will be distributed
throughout the State, and each
subordinate union will be expect
ed to take shares in proportion to
it's member hip. We are not ia
vorably impressed with the idea
of a central warehouse, and think
better results can be obtained by
the farmers erecting warehouses
nearer their respective localities,
the markets where they have fre
quent access, one reason for our
doubts of the advisability Of a
central warehouse at the State
capitol is based upon the -exper
ience of the effort to have a
State exchange, we all know the
result of that undertaking. We
are a firm believer of having
warehouse facilities for the pro-
lection Of the farmer against the
speculator, butwe think that bet
ter results can be obtail, " to
have them located at the county
seats or in the railroad towns
where there are good banking IA
ciIities. A central warehouse at
Columbia would not tend to en-
courage the holding of cotton. the
average farmer prefers doing bus
mess with those Xhom he knows,
and he would be chary Of ship
ping his productaway from home,
even if to do SO may be to his adj
vantage.

Sometime ago the railroad com
mission issued an order to the
Southern Express Company to
furnish information regarding
their rates in this State. Nothing
has been heard from the matter
since, and it is matter Of great
importance to the patrons which
means the public generally.
There is constant complaint of
excessive charges made by this
company and there should be
some way to make this corpora
ton show up: if the railroad com.
mission is powerless, then there
should be legislation to put a
stop to the extortionate rates
charged by this company.
