Article 4, section 11 of the State Constitution reads- "All vacancies in the Scpreme Court or other inferior tribunals shall be filled by elect ions as herein proscribed: PnovmE), That if the unexpired term does not, ex eced one year, such vawancy may be f illed by Executive appointment." "Filled by elections as herein pre scribed," imeans by joint ballot of the General Assembly. Judges are elected for a term of four years; ao the death, rsignation or removal from the state of a circuit judge i any time during the first three years of his term, either malkes a vacancy on the circuit of which he was judge, or nocessitates an extra session of the Legislature to elect his successor. Almost every year, there is eight chances for this diffiiculty to arise. Of course no circuit can afford to he without a judge many days at a time. An extra session of the Legislature, to fill a vacancy would cost about $4,00( This section should be so amended that any vacaney may h) filled by Executive appointment until tle next regular session of the General As sembly. .4.. The Crops--A Serious Quest"ion. At this time, of the year, the indicat;ions for a small yield of cotton and corn in the fall, were nov or more gloomy, and the contined rains continue to make the prospects more unfavorr,ble. The question comes up from every side what are we going to do? When the prod(ue ers fail, all classes have to- share in the failure. Those who produce least will feel the want greatest. Gloomy as the future may seem, we should take courage and strive the harder. Where there is a will there will be a way. Let every one commence to prepare for a hard year, by planting. peas, sowing tinr nips, barley, rye, and oats. Now is the time to begin to prepare for a small grain crop. their fruits, and take advantage of any good time that may come, to gather, preserve, dry and can all kinds of fruit that may be onl hand. Let all remember that their ta-xes are sure to be on hand, to 1)0 paid out of this year's crop, not in halves, as heretofore-b)ut all at once, and that, after all other bills are settled. Now 18 the time to look hard times in the. face, and drive them away from us by' frugality and economy. It is said the gods help these who help themselves. Let its all take courage, and( be glad that our own condition is no worse, and we may hopefulily l>ok for the bright light beyond tho <bu-k cloud. The Seneca. Con ention. Pursuant to the call of the District Executive Committee the uConv1 en tion met at Seneca on the evening of the 7th inst.. After the convention was organiized1, thle roll call by counties showed that Abboville, Newborry and Oconee *were iii (vor of Primary Election for nominating a Congressman, and An derson and Pickens opposed, with the exception of Mr. J. C. Griflin 01n0 oft the delegates from tho latter County. A resolution to have the Primar lection was passed by a vote in the hrnt instance of 24 to 17. The dis erassion of the quesltion by the vari. Onls delegates showed that under ex isting circumstances the primafry plan was~ demanded by tile p001pio. Some thought that It was5 pre'matm-e and would endanger the unity of the party. * But the whole action of the con, - '~R ftJ~tking regulations &c. for the election wel-4j&sed npon the con tingency of an amelidrncnt to the State Constitution, which ?tl,;i can make it practicab)le. A comites.r was appointed to p)rosentL the matter to the State Convention, togother writh the proceedings of the Congress Iii4a Convention. The delegations from Anderson and Pickens were the only ones pre. pared to nominate a Congressman. The other counties had eleoted their delegates only to dischargo the busines mentioned in the call, so if the Prim ary is net adopted, the latter will have -to elect new delegates. The convention was truly a repr. apwetative body of men, and all seemed 94ans't and anxious to (10 that whichi wid best promote the strength and chirman Of t1a pMt. 'e County, t7onventIo* The ropresontation in the redent iounty Convention was full, thus Iowing that the people in every sec ion of the county are taking an in erest in politics this year. Each hib sent delegates, who were truly epresentative men. While things core made lively for a while, there cemed to be no lack of conservatism. 'he discrission of the resolution com erning primary election for Con ressman was enrnest and exhaust ye, but the large minority submitted r-acefully, and everything seemed iarmonilous. Some members would like to have liseussed the resolution, endorsing he Farmers Movement., but they were o much absorbed in the District Pri nary, the other was overlooked. En lorsing the Farmers M(vement coulM iave been construed as endorsing the lrimary for all State and County >cflces, had not the ayes and nays been malled on the adoption of the resolu tion in regard to that subject. The resolution instructing the del egates to the State Convention to urge upon that body to make a change in the Constitution, so that representation in State, Congression al and Judicial Conventions, shall be based ulpo l the democratic vote of the reslective couities, instead of b) ing by representation in the General AssemiIly, was eminenfly wise, prop er and just. Since we come to think about it, 'tis strange the Constitution was not so constructedl in the beg;il ning. As it now stansds, republicans by the scores, have had their demo eratic dlelegadtes in the conventions; or rather the 12 delegates from Berkley represent about half as many dem1o crats, as the G delegates from. Oconee. \Ve do not so what reasons can b urged for continuing this unjust dis. crimination against democrats. The conventions are meetings of the 1arty for party puriposen, not conventions of the peop l'i. There is not going tAi ble much more real harmony until sone such (sqitable adjusllmwent is reached. Dibbling Codom. This mode of planting cotton is re sorted to on accomt of had seed and had seasons.
