Judge Earle as, that the idea of a judge not going into politics is an sristocratic one, and he seems to think when he is not o0feially engaged, it is proper for him to go before the people to ask for a political job which pays more money than the office he now holds. In other words, according to our const,6ction of Judge Earle's feelings 'matter, it is a ques tior ollars and not patriotism; if +' circuit judgeship paid the same as the Senatorship he would stay 7 where he is, because it is in the line of his profession; but as it pays less, be wants the additional pay. When a man is elected to occupy the bench it is understood that he is removed from politics, and as long as he wears the ermine he will not become mixed up in political mani palations or discussions, and it is right that such is the understanding. A judge is made the same as other people, he has his passions, his feel ings of resentment, and the spirit to hold and pay grudges like everbody else, and when he goes into polities he places himself in a position to make enemies and to make himself the enemy of those opposing him, and perhaps unconsciously he will be in~ fluenced by such a feeling upon the bench. This being true, he should byalmeans before announcinghi his candidacy for politieal office, ten der his resignation as judge. Some might say that a judge has the same right to run for the Senate as thE governor and if a judge should resign the governor should resign also; this will not hold for the reason, we all :$know that the office of governor is a political one; to secure a guberna. torial piize one must climb the poli. tieal ladder; the governor is recog. znized as the head of the party which elects him, he is looked upon as the man who isat the helmn of his party ship. Not so with a judge, he is re moved entirely away from politics, and he is sent ov~er the State to act * as umpire in disputes between citi zens. If he owed a man in this county a political grudge he would be unfit *to sit as umpire in a case where that man was interested, and if there was a man in this county who worked for his election his presence as a judge in the case where his friend is interested would be objectionable to the other side-a judge in politics lowers the tone of the judiciary and makes the decsins ofa court presided over by a political judge questionable-they wil: not have the respect of the peo ple. The judiciary in this State has always kept itself free from the con taminating influences of politics, and except in the break made by Judge Earle we can not recall a case in the State where a circuit judge, while holding that high and honorable com mission ever went into politics. In 1890 Judge Fraser declined to even express an opinion as to his feeling for or against Tillman and some peo ple in the excited condition of their minds intimated the old judge was fence-straddling, but he was not; his position was, that he was a judge. to decide between the people on matters of law, that when placed on the bench the people elevated him high up above the wrangling of party and factional politics and it would not be proper to even express an opinion, but when the time came to vote he would exercise the right of a citizen and vote for his choice. Judge Cothran resigned his commission to become a candidate for Congress and Judge Haskell resigned his commis sion on the supreme bench to take a high railroad position. It is not a pleasant spectacle to see one of our circuit judges going over the State throwing insinuations at-his opponent from a slip of paper which some supporter in the audience pre pared for him-we refer to the ques tions Judge Earle put to Governor Evans in reference to the insurance on the dispensaries. In that matter a circuit judge undertook by insinua tions to create the impression that Governor Evans was in collusion with others to rob the State. How does Judge Earle know but what he will have to sit in judgement in a case against the parties in this insinuated case of pilfering from the State. If Judge Earle is the patriotic citizen he would have us believe, instead of propounding such questions at the request of others he would go before the proper officer and have a warrant issued for the parties who are guilty of wrong doing. When Judge Earle started out in Sumter he said he intended to pitch his campaigti on a high plane, and we had hoped that he would do so, but at the first place that Governor Evans made his appearence'after his return from Chicago, Earle jumped on Duncan's plane, to such an ex tent that if he don't mind he will rob poor Duncan of his thunder. But then what difference would it make if Earle took Duncan's thunder? Thousands of people believe that Duncan is out as pacer for Earle and that whatever Duncan says is pre arranged. Evans had better keep his eye on those two fellows, they may be pretending to be mad with each other and the first thing Evans knows one of them will call on him to old his stick and he will play the old wharf-rat trick on him and then both run. OUR REASONS GIVEN. We have been asked the cause of our opposition to Judge Earle for the Senate, after our strong advocacy of him for the Judgship. In the first place, we felt that Earle was an able and au honest man; that the Con servatives did not treat him right in denouncing him for refusing to lead another fight against Tillman, and af ter they had thrown bei overboard we thought it would be a good stroke of policy and it would bring to our ranks a number of Conservatives who only wanted excuse to come; so we favored to take Earle and gratify his thirst for office by removing him from politics by puttingjhin. on the bench. In doing this we -thought surely ihe man would know when he had enough and be satisfied, but like most of us, we cannot see everything, and we find that we are mistaken in the man. Instead of the unselfish patrit we thought him to be, we find him a scheming politician, ready to grasp at any and everything which pays the most money. In other worde, we believe he is prompted to move in this race more from the de sire to get the increase of salary than from a desire to help the people. Furthermore, we found Mr. Earle to be a man who lacks appreciation, a man who would not move a peg tc return a favor, that he is a man whc has such a big idea of himself that he thinks he is by nature entitled to all the people can do for him. He is unapproachable, he is as cold as a frog, he is a political parasite. These are our reasons for opposing Judge Earle for the Senate, and ow reasons for supporting John Gary Evans are, that he has been identified with every important Reform mes ure, that he faithfully carried out the trusts reposed in him while in thE Senate, and while there, pr.oved his ability to handle weighty public matters. He was thE Reform administration's champior and successfully did he carry moeas ures through in spite of the shrewd. ness of a Smnythe, a Buist, a Moses, and other representatives of the op. ponents of the people's administra tion. What Governor Tilman did while in the executive chair could nol have been accomplished had he nol had a trusted leader in the Genera: Assembly, and if Governor Tillman is entitled to credit, John Gary Evans is entitled to share it with him. it'hat Ti11mn felt this way was plainIv seen whenever there was a measure of importance he wanted to put through. If the R'eform niovenent Is a sue cess and we most assurodlv think it is, then the leaders who have had our confidence and did riot betray us, but on the other hand were our faithful servants, deserve promotion from as as a recognition of their service, and for John Gary Evans we wish to say that his record is as clear as the noon day sun, and that several times after the State refunded its debt have the people elected him to trusted posi tions. His county first sent him to the Lower House, then to the Senate. While in the legislative department he was recognized as Governor Till man's trusted lieutenant. The peo ple know so well how ably he carried out that trust that they made him Governor over such men as James E. Tindal and W. H. Ellerbe. All this was done by the people after the State had refunded its debt. Evans's enemies, in trying to defeat Tillman, endeavored to fool the people with the same cry of "something wrong in the bond deal." They did not suc ceed then, and they will not now, be cause the more'they tamper with the bond scheme the more do they show that there is no corruption and the brighter do they make Evan's record shine. We have given our reasons for op posing Judge Earle and our reasons for supporting John Gary Evans, but in doing so we have ignored Mr. Duncan's candidacy, because we be lieve he is not seriously being con sidered a candidate, and it is generally believed that his running is the work of contact wvith, or mixing with the enemies of the Reform cause to help I-will-and-I-wont Earle. A SLADER NAILED. The New York Times published what purports to be an interview with "a prominent business man from Augusta" with reference to the South Carolina bond issue. In the inter view it creates the impression that the Georgia Railroad and Banking Co., of Augusta, of which Mr. C. G. Good rich is cashier, wanted to buy the bonds and that they made an offer to Governor Tillman which was rejected, and by its rejection the State lost $135,000. The whole article while not making a direct charge against Governor Tillman insinuates that Tilman had the thing fixed'and that he made $135,000 out of the deal; this interview leaves Governor Evans out of it and saddles the whole business on Tillman. Mr. Goodrich, Cashier of the Georgia Railroad and Banking Co., when shown the interview said that "he does not remember any syndicate being formed, and that the Georgia Railroad Bank was not agent for any syndicate, as the Times states. He did have several conversations with Mr. Colden Rhind, of this city, re garding the matter, but they amount ed to nothing as the amount was so large that the Georgia Railroad Bank did not feel disposed to go into the matter." Somebody is doing some tall prevaricating about this bond business and the receptacle for these malicious statements seems to be the New York Times, and from it they are distributed by the Anti administration papers of this State. It was, we believe A. B. Williams, who wrote the first article for the New York Times and we suppose he is the author of the second. There is one thing sure, and that is, the writer of these slanders is a very reckless individual and will write anything to carry out his devil ish purposes. Cashier Goodrich ought to know whether or not his bank made any offer for the South Carolina bonds. the newspaper correspondent says it did, but the bank says it is untrue, and the only connection it had with the affair was conversations with Mr. Rhind, but it amounted to nothing as tbe amount was larger than the bank cared to handle. So it is proved that the liar is still trying to defeat Tillman's lientenant John Gary~ Evans. EARLE SAYS PAY THE OLD BONDS. Why does not the Supreme Court have its decision publislied in the case in which a speci-al court was held in Columbia recently to hear Lawyer Lord, of Charleston, on whether or not the State shall pay some old bonds. The case has been heard and the decision rendered, but not pub. lished. Can it be possible that it is being held back until after the pri mary, because Judge Earle dissents from the majority of the Judges whc said the people must not pay those bonds? This decision is very im~por. tant to the people of South Carolina, and we are informed that there is a candidate for the United States Senate who has decided that the peo. pie shall pay those old bonds. Let the decision come out in the public prints that the people may see what kind of views some of our Judges have when it comues to a matter wvhere the people are directly involved. Our information is that Judges Mclver, Jones, Earle and Aldrich decided that we shall pay the bonds, and that Judges Pope, E. B. Gary, Wither spoon, Buchannan, Ernest Gary and jlnet decide that the people shall not pay thcar.. Fortunately for the people Earl.e did not have enough with Lii>. carry his point and the people are thus spared being bur deued wit.h additional taxes. We again say, publish the bond decision before the primaary, that thu people i:0 know Who it is that wnuts to burden tien with more taxes. The ne'ws of the terrible tragedy which brought gloom and sorrow into t'1- hoie of ienator Tillnun was um saudiest we have heard in a long tiine. ard oIver was there magre un iversal symip:d1ay expressed than iu this viSitation cf Providence. When the sad inteligere. reached here the the thought o our people w.:t straighi. t the ffather and inotier, sisters :rd 'rcthers, and for titent -t; Mei.Sss i Till:m ,. 1s c lowly young 116. fand !n: a w as nILEd for her bright intelleet undt purity of characte..

Lee, who %Yas killed with the sanme electric shaft, was % *rigUt young man with a iagnificieut future be fore him. His fainilv also ,baretl in the sy pathy of our people. We predict that niaic-Zentbs of the men who are 1:uirsing tcres from be ing defeated for olce are oppcsed to Evans for the Senate, and if our readers will watch such in this coanty they will see that this i true. One way to find out, is to say soruething favorable of Ben Tillman and right off the ;Iefeated candidate will give you a song-.and-dance about Tillman's brutallity, and in the same breath he will inform you that he is out of politics. He will not, however, tell you why he is out, that is, he will not say that as long as he held a tight grip on Tillman's coat-tail, Till man was all right and as soon as he was shaken off Tillman was the veriest kind of a devil. . Strange such men' can only see Tillman's faults after they become disappointed, and it is stranger still that because they are disappointed they seek revenge on Tillman's trusted lieutenant. The cheekiest thing we have read in a long time is Duncan saying that he hoped Earle "will be able to pitch this campaign on just as genteel a plane as I have tried." When it is knowni that Duncan started from Manning with a promise to show the governor to be corrupt, and ever since, he has been making low and sneaking insinuations without at tempting to prove a solitary thing. If Duncan is now trying to make the people believe he is on a high plane, his willingness to deceive :'is only equalled by his unadulterated cheek He certainly must think the people are arrant fools or he is one hiinself if he has an idea that the people are being fooled by fri tactics. There seemis to be a general break ing up in both of the great paities at the North. Prominent Democrats It are leaving their pagty and jing over to McKinley and prominent Re publicans are coming o ver to -Bryan. A Republican judge has written tot Bryan offering his services to go onp the stump, and in making the offer I he proposes to resign his judgeship in order that the ermine may not be dragged in the political mire. This distinguished man is not related to Judge Earle of this State. PENSIONERS. The Clerk-.of Court H-as in H-and .96~ for Class A. $.0,10 for Class B., and 1.t,4o for Class C.

I.-ANfFACTURED ONLY BY J. .-1. ZEILIN & Co., Philadelphia, Pa. [Marlboro' Democrat.] LET JUST[CE BE DONE. Mr. EIArron: I have been watch ing the State campaign very closely. and find it has been conducted on a low plane, filled with personalities and abuse. To all this we are op posed, but some of the candidates are not to blame for this. Though they have participated in it they have been forced to defend themselves and should not be held accountable. If you will only take the time to think, you will see that from the very first meeting of the campaign at Manning John T. Duncan and R. N. Richbourg began to wage a war of abuse upon their opponents, John Gary Evans and John Gary Watts, and the latter two have only answered the accusa tions made against -them. Can they be blamed for this? Nay. But far heavier would the blame lie u.pon their shoulders had they let it gone by unnoticed and unanswered. We cannot understand Mr. Dun an's motive in entering the cam paign and making statements that he :innot substantiate, knowing too that here was not a shadow of chance for bis election. Some one must be de raying Mr. Duncan's expenses to get ,hese charges made in order to weak .n Governor Evans, but it will not erve for that purpose,as the people are eeping ip too closely with affairs md know all these statements made o. L entiei'v false. As to tlc candidates for Adjutant mnd luspector General, the records of he two men are well known. R. N. Richbourg was a candidate on the Easkell ticket. He aided and abetted ;hat ticket in every conceivable way; going about the streets of Columbia securig money for said ticket; did il in hi power to overthrow the ~egular Democratic nominees and bhus frustrate the voice of the peo le. After doing all this he has beek enough to come around and sk these same people to vote for him ntead of one who has been in sym athy w ith us and allied with the arty since its organization. General Natts has mtade one of the most oiin ofiers of the administration. When hei assumed the duties of the >flie the militia of the State vas in a worse condition than *t any\ time of its history, t being jus. after the Darling on riot and so many companies hav g disbanded. But General Watts vas equal to the task; he goes to ork anti very soon has one hundred :ompanies in nice working order and o-day it is- better equipped than at my previous time. General Watts as done inore to promote the wel are of the militia than any one we ave had, and we are not a people to o soon forget what justice demands. The militia is well organized all >ver the State and is, for the first imie in its history, all equipped in Iiform. We should be proud of our tate militia and should favor Gen ral Watts with the second term to how him that we are proud of the ficient work he has done. Justice emands it as well as the custom of ~iving an eticient public servant twvo erms. I think it nothing but right, Mr. Eitor, that the public should know wat sort of men they are voting for o fill public offices, therefore I write his article hoping to see it in print. REFOR.MER.

If our farmer friends will think for a moment they can soon see the advantage of hav ing a market near them. In the first place they can save considerable in a season in time alone, and as "time is money," time saved is money made. In the second place, a market near home is conven ient because farmers can easi ly receive information as to prices, best time for selling, &c. Then, another advantage is knowing the men with whom you deal. Farmers know better the men with whom they have been dealing, and if their business have been of long standing, there is a mu tual confidence existing which makes it more pleasant for home folks to deal with each other. In fact, there are many reasons why farmers should assist in building a hoine mar ket. Manning will try hard to build up a first-class tobac co market. Let the farmers co-operate with the men who expect to work for their in terest. Tobacco men of experience tell us that it is quite impor fant that farmers should as sort and tie their tobacco as soon after curing as possible. Remember, too, that it is nec essary that care should be taken in the work, and farm ers who have no experience in grading tobacco should seek the advice and help of some one who knows how it ought to be done. The Clarendon T obaceco Warehouse and Supply Com pany have received the ser vices of Col. G. E. Webb, of Winston, N. C., to assist them in organizing and starting the market. Col. Webb has more than twenty years' experience in the warehouse business and is now connected with the largest tobacco warehouse in the Old North State. It will be remembered by many of the farmers in this section that Col. Webb - started the Timmonsville market last year. He is said by all to bacco men who know him to be the best tobacco auctioneer in the world. The date of the opening of the Clarendon Tobacco Ware house will be announced in ue time. Tobacco farmers, keep a harp lookout for Manning. Candidates' Cards, FOR COUNTY SUPERVISOR.
