= Spartanburg Journal: Last Satur-
day there was a fair exhibit of good
corn at Gaffney. Both boys and men
entered the contest, which was quite
creditible. There were some speci-
mems Of corn which were about as
good as the best. F. C. Tarbox, OF
Clemson, was the corn Judge. The
Boys Corn Club was not ready to re-
port, as all their corn had not been
gathered and measured. One prize,
however, was given to Arthur Swof-
FORD. j. I. Bowman received the first
prize for the best ten ears Of un-
In for second prize, while ]. T. Brown
took the third one. The committee
having the matter in charge feel en-
couraged and they propose to have a
much larger exhibit next year. They
may bring the Girls Tomato Club in
and that will prove most attractive
feature. There Is no reason why
Cherokee should not have a first-class
fair every year.

the following with reference to a state
ment which he recently made about
The Greenville jail delivery case:
Sometime ago an interview of mine
relative to the Gilreath, Gosnell, Phil
lips case was widely circulated by the
local papers. In this interview / was
reported as saying that from the evil
dence and the law ] was certain of the
guilt or the persons arrested and in
fairness to them and myself now de-
sire to say was misled in the matter
and that personally I do not believe
there Is the slightest evidence against
4essrs. Gilreath, Gosnell and Phil
LIS and that they are just as inno-
cent Of ,he offense Of which they were
arrested as l am. do not make this
statement through any desire to apollo
g1ze for my action in the matter which
was strictly professional, but I am
unwilling to allow a statement Of mine
which Is unfounded in fact to remain
uncorrected."
Under the heading, Inside Stories
from the Capital" the Anderson Intel
ngencer Of Tuesday prints the follow
ing: Governor Blease will, at the
next session Of the general assembly
which convenes in January, advocate
direct election Of the judiciary in
South Carolina. While official confir-
nation Is not given for publication II
is known definitely from source close
to the governor that direct election Of
judges will be urged by him in his an
nual message to the legislature. From
the chief Justice of the supreme court
to the circuit judges will the recon-
mendation stand, which means that In
this state the governor will ask that all
judges be elected by the people. Should
the recommendation be adopted twelve
circuit judges and the five justices Of
the supreme court would be affected
by the change. The justices and judges
are now elected by the general assem-
Dy. The justices are elected for ten
years now since the recent change,
adding another justice to the court.
Before that time the supreme court
justices were elected by the legislature
for eight years. There are four asso-
ciate justices and a chief justice. In
order for the change from election by
the legislature to election by the peo-
pie, Of the judiciary, a constitutional
amendment, or set of amendments, will
be necessary. The general assembly
would have to pass bill embodying
the governors recommendation by q
two thirds vote and the matter would
then have to be submitted to the people
In a general election and II the people
likewise vote to accept the change, 1t
would then be ratified by the general
assembly before becoming law. This
Is the. method of amending the state
constitution. Should the people and
the general assembly favor the change,
judges would thereafter be elected just
as governors, members Of the house
and every other state and county off,
Ger is now named and that is in the
Democratic primaries in South Caro-
lima.
