We are publishing an editoria
from the Abbeville Press and Ban
ner which is in reply to an editoria
from our contemporary in the mat,
ter of judges. 1t is not our purpose
to engage in any controversy with
these able editors, but this article ex
presses what we have said time ant
again about the matter of judges re
naming in their own circuits insteac
of being run around over the state
and it gives good reasons for such {
change in the law so that each judge
could remain in his circuit, that We
are printing it with our endorsement
and approval. There is not now ant
never was any good judgment in hav
ing judges making the rounds of the
state. We are always glad to see
these judges from other circuits, be
cause many of them we have known
for many years and we esteem as ou'
friends, but it is a real punishment
to them to have them going abou
over the state. And we do not believe
it helps the speedy trial of cases OF
the proper and prompt administra
tion of the law.

The First One

In the library of the house which
I rent furnished for the season there
are books which were bought to be
read and other books which I can
believe were bought as household
furniture to fill up wall space. Among
these I reckon sets of "The Worlds
Best Humor" and "The Worlds Best
Short Stories" In reading one of
these volumes of what the antholo-
gist professed to believe was the
Worlds Best Humor, l came across
clipping pressed between the leaves.
1t begins by saying, Berry Wall is
telling a good story" etc. That is
enough to designate its age. Stripped
of Mr. Wallis ornamentation, it is
as follows:
An ex-Confederate officer is walk
ing down Twenty-third street and
meets a beggar who is minus both
legs, one arm and an eye. Around his
neck is hanging a placard reading:
81 am Grand Army Man Disabled
at Gettysburg"
The officer Immediately hands him
small wad of bills.
Excuse me, sir" says the beggar,
"but you've given me more than ten
dollars"
"Keep it, says the ex-Confeder-
ate officer. you're the first damned
Yankee soldier l ever saw that was
trimmed to suit me-"

We are inclined to agree with
State Chairman Brown, the attorney
general to the contrary notwithstand
ing, that strict construction of th'
primary rules, which are the statute
law of the state, requires that you
give your age and not say simply
that you are twenty-one plus. We
do not see many very good reason:
in this country for that requirement,
but possibly it was in the mind of the
author that there might be two Bill
Smiths or two John Jones or Mary
Somebody in the same district OF
precinct, and by giving the age the
managers could distinguish or be able
to tell whether the right one was
voting, and then what difference does
it make about giving your age. No
giving it neither makes you younger
nor older.

PLEASANT MENTION
OF MRS. |. H. HUNT

From the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian of the 18th instant we
clip the following:
Mrs. I. H. Hunt, president of the
Alumnae association is greatly encou-
ragged over the fine response to the
requests for funds for the furnishing
of the new dormitory. Mrs. Hunt
has had great pleasure in this work
because of the splendid cooperation
which she has received from the
friends of the college. Since her last
report Miss Minnie Presley and 9TH
er friends at Oak Hill, Ala, have sent
in contribution of $63.50. We
feel sure that some friend will COM
plete this room. Mrs. Sara Miller
Bonner, Camden, Ala, of the class
of '9S has forwarded check of
$500 for room. The class of '96
has added $500 to their donation
making it now $500. This, too, will
soon be completed. All checks for
rooms should be sent direct to Mrs.
1. H. Hunt, Newberry, S. C. These
should be forwarded during the
month of August as the furniture
will be placed in the building by
September l and cash payment is to
be made.

LISTEN

We have received several COM
plants that subscribers have not re-
ceived the paper. AS stated some
days back we have not been able to
correct the mailing list, and when We
took charge no correction had beer
made for month or more. We are
getting matters straight just as fast
as we can. Then during the past two
weeks many new names have been
added to the list and sometimes the
agent or even the subscriber himself
does not indicate that it is new
subscriber, and not correcting the lis
every day we take it that the name Is
on the list unless it is stated that i
is a new name, and consequently the
paper does not start. We have cor
rected up to Saturday and every one
should receive this paper who haf
subscribed and, listen, when you senc
in a subscription state whether it /:
new or old. If it is an old subscriber
the paper will come right on whether
the correction is made or not, but il
it is new one an issue or two may
be printed before the name is enter
ed unless you state that it is new.
After the first of August we viii
try to correct the list at least twice
a month, and possibly oftener, and al
who have not paid up to that date
will be taken from the list, but we
are not taking off any names unit
that time, but if you want the paper
to come on you better get in good
standing by the first of August, ane
now you can set one entire year fol
the small sum of one dollar and the
time is drawing near and it would be
we'll for you to attend to this little
business right now.
