During the brief term in which he exercised the duties of magistrate. Mr. Sullivan conducted the office with fairness and with judicial jlmparti ality He made no fight against Judge Wilson in the outset, and does not now seek to make one. The other magistrate in Anderson, W. B. Broadwell, haa proved himself a Just Judge and an active administer of the law. The people of all politi cal factions seemed pleased with his abllitv and his deflre to promote th?j."j ends of j?stfee add to preserve lew. THE BACKBONE While the.G1iauJfduq.ua Is a gv caslon of pleasure and social ment, .yet-there is-a deep underlyini principle in the whole undertaking. It is the effort for the bettepj?er mankind.

This morning at 11:30 there will be a lecture by Mr. Long on the sub ject 'The Two of Vir It-will follow closely upon the principles' laid down ] by Judge Alden. Tonight Edward Amherst Ott will lecture upon the subject "Sour Grapes." In these daya of ranting demagogues, it is refreshing to hear men speak on uplifting topics. His address tonhzht will treat nf th? ?nh. Ject of marriage and divorce. It haa been delivered 2,000-times and Is.said to have jdone a wonderful amount of good In making the world better and happier.
