The Legislature is making some effort to suppress the habit of carrying concealed ? deadly weapons. This Is right. The habit should be stopped, and one way to punish the .. violater of the law Is to raise the salary of the Solicitor, when he would prosecute with more vigor. If the Circuit Judge receives a salary of S3,000 It is evident that the Solicitor should receive a sum equal to that of the Judge. That of the Solicitor is the more important office. If the Solicitor falls short ol his full duty in representing the State in prosecuting offenders against the peace of the State, there is no way to correct his mistakes, neglect or omissloDs. But if the jury errs, or ? 11 ILIt) uruuil O UU?U uumca a lumioni, lu^iv m a way to coirect their errors. The representative of the government should be the ablest man on the Circuit and the State should not think of employing a cheap Solicitor, neither should the commonwealth ask a high class man to represent her Interests at less than full pay. Anybody can sit as Judge or juror? a Juror is nothing more nor less than a Judge. The juror has the Circuit Judge to correct his errors, and the Circuit Jud?e has the Supreme Court to set him straight when he gets off the right track. But It Isn't everybody who cud be State's attorney.. According to the way the Press and Banner looks at It, the Solid. tor should outrank both the Juror and the circuit judge In the matter of pay and in the importance of his office. Even supposing the Solicitor to be the ablest men in the circuit, be has a bard time of It when be has to meet two ortbree of tbe best men of the circuit. He should at least be tbe equal of the best ot them. Then pay a fair price to tbe Solicitor. Clubbing. Editor Aull of the Newberry Herald and News has some seuBlble remarks oa the sub< jectof country papers clubbing with city papers and magazines. Our experience is very much in accord with the remarks of Bro. Auil. When this editor first entered the Press and I'anner office he found a system of dabbing in existence. It was continued for a year or so. We found that the clubbing gave us more trouble than the whole of the balance of our subscription list, and if we ever gained a cent for our trouble we never knew of It. Speaking for this newspaper we do not intend to exercise ourself about increasing the circulation of any of the cheap publications, whose chief merit or lack of value may consist in their cheapness. The people of every county will find that a good local county paper is worth more to them than any of the foreign published papers, which seldom or never have a word to say of any man or any enterprise in their county. 1 Another thing. This editor would think that he had losl something of bis self-respect, and had done a foolish thing if he undertook to persuade his subscribers to quit his own paper to take a seventy-five cents paper. If the average country editor will work on his own paper, and cease to work against his , own interest he will posper more. And still another matter. We believe, to say nothing of an indefinite amount of work, mai no country eaiior can mane as maoy subscribers as be losses by any sucb arrange. * ment. If any country editor has any doubt of the position which he assumes In becoming a clubber, let him find out If the city editor win exercise nimseir in betiair or tbe country gudgeon. The DinponNary. The editor of tbe Press and Banner has been a teetoller all his life, and from bis earliest childhood he has never let an opportunity pass to give the liquor traffic a blow. Until we saw the practical operation of the dispensary, we never saw the day when we were not a prohibitionist. In the days that are gone Abbeviile had experience with licensed bars, and we bad a season of prohibition,and for several years we have bad the dispensary. Under the dispensary la# we have had less tippling and less drunkenness than we ever had under either thn 1 Irtontn ouolam /\? The editor of the Press and Eanner has lived on the Public Square ever since the war, and be thinks be knows whereof be speafts wben he says that the dispensary law has done more good for the sobriety and good or, der of the town than any law that we have ever bad. Prohibition did not prohibit, because we had 110 constables to enforce tbe law, and the dispensary would not bring its wholesome effects If we bad no constables to prevent tbe Illicit trallic in liquor. Any unholy alliance of liquor men with prohibitionists to break down the dispensary has failed and will fail. And any attempt to curtail tbe liquor business In any State will fail as long as tbe cities ' aom lnate the State. ijf - Lynching. There Is still some Idle talk la the newspapers against lynching. Lynching will stop when negro men cease to assault women, refrain from burning houses, and learn to respect the laws,of the State. The cry about lynching negroes for assaulting women will stop when they cease to assault. It might be that these assaults would stop If the negro preachers would urge their young men to obey the laws of the State, and to respect the rlght9 01 women. Another reason why lynching will not stop lies in (he fact that it is very seldom that ajury can be found that will enforce the law by finding a verdict aguinet a murderer. At Abbeville, for instance, we believe It Is the rule to acquit a white man who Is charged with murder. In the few rare cases where verdicts have been obtained against white men who were charged with murder, the Supreme Court has generally given the necessary number of new trials to secure an acquittal. If a white man Is brought into court charged with murder, if he pleads that the dead man threw bis band toward bis pistol pocket, that act, or that assertion, will generally secure an acquittal. Of course reasonable and sensible men know that if a man sees another throw his hand back, that the slayer is a quicker band at getting out a pistol. He can generally get out bis pistol aud kill the other fellow before he can even draw his pistol. The thing is so reasonable that it has seldom failed to con. vlnce the Jury that the slayer was much quicker in getting out a pistol than the dead man. Every plea, it seems to us, has a course to run, and this hip-pocket business, and the throwing of the hand back.it occurs to us, has nearly served its day. Self-defense always stands good, or in rare cases when It does not appear, the p!ea of accident comes in and does the work. In South Carolina the Juries readily acquit men, and we believe that any pretense that the State will protect anybody is a bare assumption. The juries seem not to think that the conviction of murderers is necessary to 1 the protection of the citizen and promotive of (1 the peace and good order of society. [' m m, "Upon Wtiiit Wan KIiikIi'n ICrpntnJ lion F01M1<I<<I?" "Judge Klusjh may prove si pillar ofi strength to the Judiciary of this Slate, and not to know Klugh may be to argue oneself unknown ; but the Sun tnust confess to have] never heard of him before. Breazeale codi-i tied our laws and Ansel has '<een oueof lhel most successlul solicitors In the State, but upon what was Klush's reputation founded? l'erbaps some ui ourc meiiiporaries can mruisli uu with a clue."?Charleston Sun. The reputation of the Hon. James C. Klugh was founded on tiis natural ability, his scholarly attainments his knowledge of the law, his gentlemanly bearing, and as pure a personal character as ever adorned the Bench of South Carolina. On this foundation he ran for the office of Judge of the Eighth Judicial Circuit, and It was because of his possession of these qualities that the members ol the Legislature voted for him. Judge Klugh is not a politician, though he is a Reformer in principle and his allegiance to the cause of Reform has never beeu doubted. He has had faith in his own ability and, while giving due respect to the merit, the education, and the social worth of others, he has always,In dignity, maintained forhlmsell the standards which were not excelled by any one. That his character and ability were p.ppre elated by the Legislature, is evident. Notwithstanding the fact that two of the most popular men in the circuit were candidates, this uoknown citizen of Abbeville was an easy winner. This, too, In the face of the iUUl LlJilt IlUb O niugi^ uai i j uvnopupiyi \m vtiv State supported him. As far as we now recollect to have seen, ihe Conseratlve press boosted Mr. Ansel, while the Register watexceedingly kind in copying into its columns whatever might tend to help Mr. lireazele. We believe that none of the dally newspapty> ever recognized Mr. Klugh asa possibility.and for this, or other reasons, be was given but little showing during the race. As a rule, we believe the best politicians get the offices of Judge, but not so in the case ol Judge Klugh. If there ever was a man who was not a politician, that man is James C. Klugb. He ran solely on bis merit, and not as a politician, nor did he appear before the Legislature because of his popularity. As Master of Abbeville county, as a member of the Board of school trustees, as a lawyer, as a member of the State Convention, a* a citizen In the higher walks of life, he has ever measured up to the highest standards o(?manhuod. always oruve uuu iuuc(isuucih, hu u?, mm due respect to tlie opinions ol others, ever asserted the right, as he saw It and believed, without fear, favor or allection. Aud if there is a Judge on the Bench in South Carolina who 1h painstaking, conscientious and utterly and absolutely unapproachable i>y an> body in the matter of his opinions or judgments, that man is James C. ( Klugh of whom our respected Charleston contemporary expresses his. ignorance. There 1 Is not a man on the Bench In South Carolina who can claim to be his superior, and if he i does not In the discharge of his official duties ; convince the Bar, the people, and the newspapers ol this Commonwealth that he is the i right man in the right place, then we will revise our opinion of him. Two years from now, when the election for Judge cnmes oir again, the Sun may say: "Breazele codified the laws, Ansel has been one of the most successful Solicitors in the State," and Tor two years Klugh has been au honor to the judiciary ol the State. In this we have nothing to say derogatory < of the other candidates. They are excellent ' men, and eittier one would Dave inaae an ex- , celled Judge. 1 i Tlie ItiMpenanry. i The dispensary has so far received much attention from the Legislature. The result of 1 the discussion has developed a healthy sen tt- | ment among the members of the General Assembly, and we presume the friends ol temperance have nothing to fear from this j body of law makers. The liquor men seem to have entertained 1 the hope that the temperance people of the | State were natural born fools and would con- i sent to the withdrawal of the constabulary 1 force from the State, and free Charles- , ton of her metropolitan police. But, i up to this time, we see no evidence that the < temperance people are willing to turn the 11- , ?.,a. ?a onfnrfla H.olnw In irhUh I they are opposed. 1 To take away tlie liquor constables would ( be to give up the fight against drunkenness, < when Illicit dealers in liquor would have J their own sweet will. > _ i Charily Ball. t Some well meaning preachers and some ed- 1 itors who would be good, are making a great noise about some ilch and tony people ol i New York giving a swell ball, the net pro- [ ceeds of which are to be given to the poor. ? Pious and holy gudgeons hold up their * hands in holy horror at such extravagance on J the part of the rich nabobs of New York, and J nrv nut npalnst. n prpnt hnll thn npt Ml ruins ol which is to begiven directly to the poor?the J amount bein? estimated at 850,00;). These j "unco gude" people cry out against the rich h for bavingan expensive ball when there is so much poverty lu the land. All of which is , the merest bosh. ? If these rich uabobs horded their money, In- * stead of putting it into circulation, they would become richer and richer. C To give a swell ball helps all those who are ij in any way employed to perfect the arrange- ^ ments, and this in itself help somebody. And a then the overplus is given to the poor. " Isn't it better for the nabobs to spend their f, money than to withdraw it from circulation ? p Anything that induces a rich man to put j1 money In circulation helps the poor. a 1 Politics antl Politics. a The praises which have been showered on a Uovernor Ellerbe before and after his election seem strange, If not suggestive. Charles- J ton Is dearly In love with the Reformer, and, > so to speak, would almost fall down and t worship at his feel. Other Conservatives F look as if they might, with a little more emotion, fall upon his neck and weep great tears of love and a flection. But it didn't work. Governor Ellerbeseems to have a backbone, and in bis inaugural, gave no signs of weakening on the dispell- ' sary law. s About PnyiiiK Tux en. ^ We would most respectfully ask the alien tion of our Legislators to the practical busi- 7 ness of paying taxes. Every man in the jj county has the right to wait until the last day t to pay his taxes?and a creat many of the t largest tax-payers make It a never-falling rule to hold on to their money to the last p moment. The State, or the county, Is often li in need of the very money that is so held [, back. ^ Now, as the State fixes a penalty of fifteen u per cent on delinquents for til teen days, 11 would it not be well for the State tootfer some inducement to more prompt tax-payers? Suppose a discount at the rate of eight per U centbegiven lor such prompt tax-payersas J anticipate payments, counting eveu months for easy calculation. fi Such a, system, we believe, prevails in some of the other Slates. n If South Carolina can charge delinquent tl tax-payers one per cent, a day. we see no rea ? son why the same Stale should not allow a prompt tax-payers the half of one percent w for a month. a! o mm- ol ( ootl IteiuliiiK.

The General Assembly of South Carolina will nol be so foolish us to Interfere will) the honest labor of this stale, while allowing vagrants to do ?.s they please. The mean thing about tlie proposed leglslation lies in the fact of Its discrimination against a particular class, while exempting the remaining portion of the laboring people from the etrect of tho law. The law would prevent factory operatives from working more than eight hours a day while allowing farm hands, railroad hands, livery stable . bunds, hotel cooks, nurses, clerks and book 1 Keepers, and thousands of others to toll for sixteen hours a day. The attempt at interference with factory operatives seems intended for a purpose. TheSpartanburg Herald says: i We sincere1}' trust that all the bills looking to the establishment ot a labor bureau in tins State, will meet the lale they merit?death beyond resurreciion. The legislature seems inclined to indulge in unwarranted and per- I nlcious Interference in thereiatious between labor and capital, and It would be particularly unfoitunate just at tills time when the Mate is taking on new industrial Hie /or antagonistic legislation to retard and posMbly ruin the good work. The purpose of the whole agitation, stripped ol iis sentimentality and pseudo-sympathy fur down-trodden i labor, is to provide a large, iat olllce ior some ', one. What on earth a labor commissioner would ' or could find to do has not been staled. The 11 ivIullnnR hplii'ppn fh? tuftnrv f\ni>ru!iviiB uml I the inlil autliorttles are amicable. Each respects the rights of the other aud In most factory villages ttiere is iiever any trouble nor i trtctlou ol'any Ulud. Spartanburg county Is the centre of the cotton manufacturing industry, and we veuturo the assertion that a ' more peacable and conteuted class of people I cannot, be tound in America, thau at the factory villages tn this county. A commissioner could tlnd nothing to do in this section und the only result ot having such an unnecessa- ] ry officer would be to stir up strife among the laclory lolk and precipitate labors troubles which have heietolore never existed. 1 The Herald has always tieen and always will be the frieud and champion of the laboring man. If we could see the slightest benefit. to be derived from having a labor cotnmls doner, if we could see where the condition or Interests of the factory operatives would be In any way bettered, we should uureservedly espouse their cause, liut, vlewiug the matter from every standpoint and especially from that of the operatives themselves, we cannot see where such legislation would advantage them In the least, but on tne contrary, cud ; fee where untold tioubies may arise wnich ] in the end will only hurt the operatives and not ttie inili owners. Again, tlie lactory people do not auk for till* legislation. As a whole tbey are an honest ana intelligent claws and Know what best suits them and what will bestsubserve their interests. All tbey wish is to be let alone, l'hey have proved themselves fully competent to adjust whatever Issues may arise between them a Dd i heir employers without outside Interference and bave learned iroui bitter experience I hat past legislation supposed ] to be tor their benefit has proved a boom- | erang and hurt more than helped them. The laboring people In this State are more j contented and less trouolesome than in any < inner section ot the country. Tbey do not . need nor uo they ask the state to help them, , pel toe legislature to let well enough atone j iud not Jeapurdize the laborers' luterei?l? as \ well as the Stale's prosperity by u = necessary | nud unwise legislation. | ?
