The Press and Banner.! I BY HUGH WILSON. Wednesday, Nov. 1, 1893. n t - - - - - - - ? A Warning. The State. v At the approaching session of the Leglsla- J turejudges will be elected for a majority of our Judicial circuits, aDd it is full time for a c consideration of the issue which must be met in their election. t All of the Incumbent*, we believe win be candidates for re-election, and all of them r are worthy of re-election. Under normal f conditions there would be no doubt that I each one would be returned to his seat. * haa nrevftlled While the eiecw*e d;ok?. , in South Carolina for the selection of Judges, t the practice of the people has made the ' wholesome unwritten law that every Judge of honesty and ability should be retained on ? the bench. As the result or this practice? c honorable to the people and beneficial to the State?South Carollua has had for mnny f years a Judiciary of which she has been Justly s prond. Herjudges have not been in politics < and have not been subservant to the whims or passions of the moment. They have done ( their duty as they saw It without fear or ' favor, assured that for Its faithful perform- ' anoe they would not suffer. The value of such a system to the State has ' been incalcuable, and, until the last two or ? three year* has been fully recognized by all the people. Even the negro Republicans in the Legislature have apreclated the dexlra- 1 bilityofa pure and independent Judiciary, < and have uniformly cast their votes for the ' Democratic Incumbents at each quadrennial J election. It remains for Governor Tillman to me- 1 nance the system which has given an im- ' partial administration of the laws. Soon 1 after frd entered office and began to put forth nnconntitutlonal schemes, he declared that we needed "a Tillman Judiciary." He has ' since that time, assumed to bo a bet- ' ter Judge of the law than trained and able lawyers who sat on the bench. His manifest wl?h to sweep away all legal obstruction to -. . ?,n on(1 j,|g free a8(iert|on ujal nifl aetixHic Judges who failed 10 decide oases in bis favor were Influenced by enmity to him and to "Reform", has had Its effect. The organs of his faction have reiterated the slander that oar Judges are partisan and must he retired, and stimulated various cheap aud shabby lawyers to seek to displace some of the best men on the bench. Our purpose in ref'-rlngto this issue, soon to be made In the legislature, is to have a distinct understanding of its meaning. The scheme to retire faithful Judges because they have not been subservient to Governor Tillman Is a blow to the integrity of the bench. It Is a warning to the Judges now iu office or ' hearafter to be chosen that in order to hold their seats they must sacrifice thpir Judgment and pervert law and Constitution when Governor Tillman or a legislative majority shall so will It. There could not be a conspiracy against our system of government more poisonous, more deadly, than this. To destroy the Independence of the Judiciary is a high crime against the people. If there were a foundation ol a grain of dust for the charges made against the Judges whose displacement is sought, the remedy should be found in Impeachment. If any Judge on our bench has given even color to the suspicion that has perverted the law or degraded the Constitution, or been corrupt or malicious in his decisions, he should he Impeached. The men who propose to retire .. hs election Pre In control of lUCBC JUUKOo ... both the House and the Senate, and have the power to remove them by Impeaching them. Bat If they do not attempt this; If they fall to bring their case to a constitutional trial In which themselves shall be both accusers and Judges, they will confess the-miserable motive which influences them?the desire to displace, without a hearing, Judges whose decisions are displeasing to our new despotIsm, but against whose Integrity and competency no open charge dare be brought. It will be well for Governor Tillman and his *ettore in the proposed rape of the Jutllclary to recall the past. The white men of South Carolina were patient and plucable despite their many wrongs until the Radical Legislature attempted to subvert the independence and sully the purity of the judiciary ; but when that attempt was made they rose in wrath and drove from power the men who bad so abused it. Goveruor Tillman might with propriety consider the part taken in that revolt by bis predecessor In office, D. H. Chamberlain. The motive for compassing the defeat of our "mark" judges Is not a wbit more honerable or reputable than that which influenced the election of W'hlpper and Moses, and the Slate and the country will so reognlze It. we oould regard with much complacency the perpetration of as great a political blunder as tblsby Governor Tillman and his agents but It is one blunder that, for the honor and welfare of South Carolina, we would avert. That is the only motive for this warning. To the Dnnffhtera of the American Revolution. Having been appointed by the national Board of tbe daughters of the American Revolution, Regent for the State of South '-??? "i-ore woman ofl Carolina, i corumnj __ the State who has the blood of heroes of the Revolution in her veins, to assemble In Colombia on Nov. 8tb, ? o'clock, in ? for the purpose of promoting a State Society In sympathy with the noble and elevated organization of the daughters of the American Revolution. The objects of tho Society are to mnntain American Institutions, to loster patriotic love of country, as well as to perpetuate the memory of our forefathers, by encouraging historical research in relation to the Revolution. Especially is it desired to preserve some record of the heroic deeds .of umerlcan women. Any woman is eligible to membership who "decended from an ancester who wltli unfailing loyallty, rendered aid to the cause of iudependanoe as a recognized patriot, as a soldier or sailor, or as a civil officer In one of the several Colonies, or States, or from the mother of such a patrloc." R. C. Bacon' State Regent fos So- Ca* The Assessment. * The State. There has been a very decided Increase In the ammouot of taxable property in this State as ireturned during the past year for taxation and the levy for the next year to be fixed by the State Legislature can doubtless remain tbe same and at the same time meet all additional expenses of running the government, provided however, some satisfactory arrangement is made in regard to the phosphate matter. : Total taxable property In the State as returned for taxation is 8170,767,935 this year as against 9168,871,227 last year. The railroad returns show property valued at 525,501,878 a decrease of nearly two millions as compared to last year. The figures showing the total taxable roperty as returned by counties for this and last year are as follows: 1893 1892 1 Abbeville $7,162,679 $7,345,250 .

It was pleasant to reflect, too, that there were thousands around us (peri haps a poor editor in the number) who would be remembered in thesame way ^ if they were sick. Flowere to cheer the room, little delicacies to tempt the appetite, kind words and deeds toshow our apreciation of a friend, all would i speak beautifully and attest our warm 1 esteem if sickness or death should s come to our frieuds. s But why not now ? Why not show > these marks of kindly feelings when > our friends are well? Sick folks are ^ often too sick to apreciate such favors, 1 and some times they never get any J r better and hence can never know that ) we entertained any concern for them. - This should by no means abate our - kindness to the sick, but if we would 2 indulge the kindness when they are well, we would all be the more inclined i that wjy when they are sick.
