JoHN { SHEPPARD FOR ASSOCIATE
JUSTICE.

JUSTICE.
The general assembly will
convene next month, among the
important matters will be the
selection of an associate justice
to fill the unexpired term made
vacant by the resignation OF
Hon. G. A. Woods, who was ap-
pointed by President Wilson to
the Federal bench. It is proper
at this time to consider the avail
ability of material for this digni-
fed place; if there is any posi-
ton or branch of our govern.
ment which should be jealousy
guarded, it is the judiciary, no
man should be elevated to the
position Of Judge as a reward
for politics, and, while it is the
privilege of every lawyer to|
aspire to a place on the bench,
IN our judgment, those who have
the selecting to do, should exer-
else great care to recognize
merit.
There has been mentioned for
this honorable place a number
of names-all good men, some
with more experience than
others, but all of them, men of
high character, which is an in
dication the best is wanted.
When the place was first vacated
it was our privilege to suggest
the name of a gentleman whose
name in former years was a
he ,rold word in South Caro-
ir., on. John c. Sheppard Of
Edgefeld. we are proud to say
the suggestion was favorably
received in a number Of the
counties. Governor Sheppard
$50 far as we know, has rover
indicated whether he would per-
NIT his name to be presented to
the general assembly. but we
believe, if his name is presented,
the older members Of that body
will vote solidly for him, they
know his ability, his record as a
lawyer and a statesman.
John G. Sheppard is one OF
the few remaining of the Old
Guard, and when we say politics
should not have any influence IN
making a decision for the select
ion of a Judge, We of course re
fer to the present Iactonai d.
vision, and not to those who un-
selfshly sacrificed their time and
means to save the State. There
is no man Of our knowledge,
more entitled to consideration
for honors, from the viewpoint
of ability, integrity, and patrio-
tism than John G. Sheppard, and
there is no man who would
bring more confidence and dis.
tinction to the bench than he.
The people of the State know
the services John G. Sheppard
rendered in the trying days, and
his statemanship as member of
the senate; if left to them to
hand over the ermine laid down
by the distinguished Woods,
with overwhelming voice they
would name him.

Any other undoubtedly would have
met with q violent death. That Pro-
lessor Polydore escaped such fate
was due entirely to his knowledge OF
palmistry. But, then, let the facts
speak for themselves.
The professor was on his way to q
fashionable function. at which he was
to be the star attraction, when 1t &C.
Cured to him that he was sorely in
need of shave. Usually he performed
tn s service for himself, but as he was
miles from home and the hour late.
he stepped into the first barber shop
he encountered. Fortune was kind.
There was one vacant chair. The pro-
fessor dropped into this, and was at
once taken In hand by the barber.
A casual glance at the tonsor'al ar
fist had given Professor Polydore the
impression that he was tall, thin and
amiable-featured. Satisfied with this
hasty inventory, the professor DIS
missed the man from his thoughts and
at once began to lose himself In pleas
ant reverie. He was recalled to the
commonplace affairs of life by dab
of lather In his nostrils, shutting off
his breath SO suddenly that he almost
choked.

gates of loquacity and put an effec-
tual stop to the professors medita-

Politics appeared to be the BARRIERS

cate for the party In power.
Il hold,' he said, posing the end
of the brush directly over Polydore's
right eye. II hold that those in office
ought to be continued in office. That
whole fuss about their being grafters

INJURED Polydore apologetically.
Shaping the lather on to Polydore's
Adams apple, the barber proceeded

Although Venus is in benefic aspect
early In the day, astrology finds it
time for cautious conduct.
There Is sign read as forbidding
to all who would associate with su-
periors, either in business or friendly
relations, since the influences are be-
lieved to increase arrogance and tc
produce an overbearing, egotistical
state of mind.
1t is not an suspicious day for
speculation of any sort. as losses are
presaged by the stars.
The sun is in an adverse aspect,
which is believed to be peculiarly un-
favorable for beginning anything
unless 1t is an enterprise which Is to
be conducted secretly. For this rea-
son detectives and persons who seek
to discover what is kept hidden may
benefit by initiative, although they
may not reach success in any plan
until the configuration changes
The rule gives warning against
over-confidence in friends. Those who
ask favors today court disappoint-
ment
The seers counsel those who would
be wise to avoid imparting their
plans; the day Is one in which it is
most unlucky to tell of business
schemes or to impart any confidence.
According to ancient lore the sun
is supposed to govern the right eye
of the male and the left eye of the
female and when it's aspect is evil
these organs. may be affected.
