We have recently given our views on the election of judges soon to be had by the General Assembly and as the matter is of great importance to the people we think it proper to ex tend those views by condemning a practice that has recently come to our notice. The office of circuit judge is not only a high and honorable one, but it is one that should be filled with the finest ability and the highest integ rity; no man should be selected to occupy the bench on account of fac tional differences, nor should a man be placed upon the bench as a re ward for political service, and when we see a man resorting to a system atic method of electioneering to pro cure such a position, we must think he does not appreciate the importance, and the dignity of such a high trust. The office of judge is the worthy am bition of any lawyer, but his stand ing in his profession and the esteem of his brethern of the Bar should be such that his qualifications are known by those who have selection to make. To flood the country with circular letters begging for votes is beneath the dignity of a man who has the re quisite qualifications to sit in judge ment upon the rights and the prop ert' of his fellowman, and when we saw the circular issued by Mr. T. W. Bacot, of Charleston, we could not endorse the methods adopted by him. The idea of an aspirant for a judge ship getting down to the level of the politician is appalling. What has be come of the reverence for the judicial ermine? Has the judiciary been placed ini the catagory of political offices, to be traded and manipulated by the skillful hands of scheming politicians? It begins to look that way when men have so little regard for the scared ness of the position as to go about soliciting for votes. We have never heard of such a method in this State before, and there is no better way of stopping it, than bypl*i 'tstamp of dis np ali t and instead of selec a man for the bench who has resorted to the office-seeker's tactics, offer the ermine as a reward Ifor high character, learning and patriotism. We could, if we had the selection of such, place the judicial ermine up on the shoulders of a Mitchell, a Barker, a Lord, of the Charleston Bar, or if we had a personal prefer ence, James F. lIziar, of the Orange brg Bar. The latter gentleman would at once be approved of by the people at large. He occupied the bench one term with honor to him self andhis State and it was only in the heat of political excitement that his removal came about. Judge Izlar is universally beloved throughout South Carolina and we believe he was one of the best judges in the State. He was a'tle. learned and al ways a courteous gentleman. In our opinion the General Assembly could not do a better act than electing for judge of the first circuit General James F. fIar. His services to his country in times of war and peace should not be forgotten. Take his record while in command at Fort Fisher when that desperate fight was made and it is enough to merit the affections of the people. Then in the trying times of 1876, when this State was relieved of that horde of op pressors, much of the responsibility was upon the shoulders of Gen. Izlar who was then our State chairman, and to his magnificient management can, in a very large measure, he at tributed the overthrow of the Repub lican party and the restoration of home rule for South Carolina. If Judge Benet is to be defeated upon the ground that he was imported to the first circuit, and that importation was wrong, then right the wrong by returning the ermine to a member of the Bar of the first circuit and by re placing it upon the shoulders of Judge James F. Izlar from whom it was taken without cause. BUCKLEN'S ARNICA SALVE.

There are a class of citizens whose idea of the present is so dim that they actually do not realize their ex istance in this day . of progressive movement; such men live entirely in the past, and when any attempt is made to create a change it breaks them all to pieces. Once upon a time, in the history of Manning, the pro prietor of a newspaper was forced to place himself under obligations to merchants for a little patronage in order that he might, on a Saturday carry home to his family a few gro ceries. The result was that his news paper was not the public educator it should have been, nor did it inspire confidence; instead of being a me dium of free thought, it was a truck ling slave of the man who furnished the most credit, or groceries. A change has taken place in the news paper business, as well as all other branches, and to day Manning has a newspaper with a standard second to no county paper in the State; it is free and untrammelled, under no ob ligations to a soul and every dollar in patronage it receives, it gives the patron his money's worth. The fact of a man spending a few dollars a year in our advertising columns does not place us under any more obliga tions to him than he is to us when we buy goods over his counters, therefore, we want it distinctly under stood that while we are always glad to do business with any of our mer chants we do not want their business as a charity; we want it as a matter of business and business alone. We further want it understood that no man patronizing this paper shall have the right to dictate its policy. But if any of our patrons, whether they be subscribers or advertisers, differ with us upon any subject we write upon, they are invited to and are wel come to express themselves in these columns. Any friendly suggestion is always highly appreciated, but dic tation will not be desirable as long as the present management exists. Van Wvck, the South Carolinian, was safely landed by Boss Croker and the Democratic party in New York is once more in the clutches of the Tammany tiger. The substitution of Henry George, Jr., to take the place of his dead father did not have the effect of mak ing many sympathetic votes in the election of Greater New York yester day. The Tammany tiger has swallowed Greater New York. The regular Democratic ticket was elected yester day by over 60,000.. majority. Mark Hanna carries Ohio, and Gorman is probably in the consomme in Mary land.___ We would advise Hon. T. W. Bacot of Charleston, to withdraw his ~'' cular letter begi' ~ or o make him a ci ju ge and get up a petition begging Governot Ellerbe to make him a Magistrate on Jeem's Island; it would be more in keeping with his high (?) idea of the dignity attached to the sacred office of circuit judge. Col. Neal's Business-lhke Management Makes The State Farms Blossom Like a Rose. We would recommend to the farm ers of South Carolina a visit to the State farms in Kerehaw county. They will there see an object lesson in practical farming which will benefit 'them to a great extent. It was our good fortune to accept an invitation from ColW.A. Neal,superintendent of the State penitentiary to visit the State farms, and with a number of other gentlemnen, we spent a couple of the pleasantest days of our life, and it was our intention to write up the trip, but Major Hal Richardson has spoken our views so clearly that we reproduce his remarks, but before doing so we must supply a missing link by mentioning the hospitality shown us by Messrs. Coolley and Ma gil,and especially the kind attentions of Mrs. Coolley and her two beautiful and accomplished daughters, one of whom we are told, is going to-well now, we had better wait and see. Here is what Major Richardson says: Col. W. A. Neal, superintendent of of the State penitentiary, and, by the by, one of the most thoroughly sys tematic organizers and managers of labor I ever saw, invited a party; con sisting of Secretary of State Tomp kins, Collector of Internal Revenue Townes, Editor Appelt, of The Times, Col. Cole Blease, of Newberry, Mr. John K. Garnett, of flampton, and myself, to visit the State farms on the Wateree, in Kershaw county. We reached our destination on the Cam den road at 6 o'clock p. m. Wagons with comfortable seats, drawn by sleek, fat mules, driven by clean, polite convicts, awaited us. "Some of the party, four in each wagon, went to the Reed farm and four others were driven to the De Saussure farm, where bright and cheerful fires greeted us and warm and bountiful suppers were spread. Before retiring, being imformed by our host that we should rise early,' (everything rises early on the State farms,)we were awakened at 6 o'clock next morning by a neat, clean con vict, who, after building our fires and' furnishing fresh ,water in our cham bers, soon after announced breakfast, which was appetizingly served. "After breakfast we walk-ed over the premises of the Reed farm, in spected the stockade, hospital, guardl quarters, horses, stables, etc. The tocade is a most substantially built house, about 20 by 100 feet, thor oughly ventilated and heated by three large stoves; the windows large, outer shutters and iron gratings, all perfectly secure. The barn is a splen did three-story building, with thirty beautiful mules on the ground floor. Corn and hay, products of the farm, are on the second floor and 7,000 bushels of oats, all threshed and clean, on the third floor. Thence we went to the gin house, where steam power was riuming gins, with nu merous bales of cotton lying around. The well arranged cow stables and hog lots, the latter filled with 250 or 300 fat hogs, attended by an old white convict, who seemed contented and happy. "We now proceeded to the De Saussure farm, two miles off. Here the p rty got together and rode over the entire crops and plantations. Upon these lands I saw 1,300 acres that will make at the lowest calcula tion 1,000 bales of cotton, and hun dreds of acres that will yield from 30 to 60 bushels of corn to the acre, and other crops in proportion. "On each farm are an equal num ber of mules and convicts, 30 of the former to 75 of the latter. The men are all well fed and heathlv, and all agree that they are comfortable and humanely and kindly treated. I saw no chains or whips or shackles. The splendid management is due not only to Col. Neal, the master head of this State penitentiary, but also to the skillful and intelligent assistance ren dered him by his two lieutenants, Coolley and Magill, both experienced planters and managers. The selec tion of two such admirable lieuten ants is an evidence of Col. Neal's dis crimination in their selection and re tention. "The State has its own saw mill and all the lumber and shingles used are manufactured on the grounds. Carpenters, blacksmiths, wheelrights and other workmen are found among the convicts, and are conveniently and -judiciously disposed upon the premises. I never saw plantations upon which there was a place for ev erything and everything in its place to exceed this. "Now, sir, if what I have described does not emphasize and prove what I have attempted to exhibit, that a good planter with other conditions for suc cess added, such as strict and system atic attention to his business and steady, reliable labor, can make money, then there is nothing else will, and I need not prolong this in terview. Suffice it to say that the whole party returned to Columbia duly impressed with the magnitude of what we had seen and with Col. Neal's wonderful capacity and ability as a manager. "One great regret we all felt was the absence of Senator McLaurin, who was unexpectedly prevented from joining our party, as he had signified his intention of doing." Enjoyable Occasion at Foreston. Editor THE TnIES: I have often seen notices in THE, TDiS that orange blossoms were* blooming or would soon bloom and ave been at a lost to know what kind of a flower it was, and often thought of asking you whether they grew on bushes or were from bulbs. Being in my teens and have never been aroundi much it could not be expected that I was posted on many things that others who have been more fortunate, and have had advant ges that many are deprived of, but iving in a day of progress now and ten a beam of sunlight will come ut on some dark spot that has been bscure. So on last Thursday a full blown orange blossom was revealed o my vision and I must say it was ne of the most desirable flowers that as been introduced into this section, ad I hope it will be cultivated ex ensively for I know of no better soil ad clinmate for their production and know of many homes that have some of the most beautiful faces for heir receptical, while the blossoms annot be surpassed in beauty there are other associations connected with t which in my opinion fair surpasses heir beauty. Some days ago cards were sebt out y Mr. and Mrs. B. 0. Cantey to their friends, asking them to be pres t at the M. E. church on Thursday afternoon, at 4:30, p. in., to witness the marriage of their eldest daughter, iss Oliver and Mr. C. S. Land, Jr. And as I have read about five foolish fellows that were two late and ere shut out-I went early-wish had you or some other fellow nows how to impart to others what e had seen, so justice could be done the decorations. They had moved the desk from the pulpit and filled the space with beautiful box plants, form ing a back ground; there were two lare columns with an arch resting upon them in front of the chancel, ll being covered with evergreens intermingled with autumn leaves and flowers; from tue center of the arch a large bell was hanging, handsomely decorated with evergreens and flow ers, also a number of vaces of flowers on the organs and stands. 'he church was darkened and the ights burning, all of wvhich presented beautiful scene. At the appointed hour the bride elect, who was most beautifully at tired and carrying a bridal boquet, leaning on the arm of the groom, en tered the church and marched up the south aisle, keeping time with a beau tiful wedding march rendered by Mrs. C. M. Mason, sister of the groom. Ta king their positions undler the arch, the Rev. E. H. Beckham, pastor of the church, stepped forward and performed the ceremony in a most solemn and imupressive manner, then another march was rendered on the organ, the bride and groom marched down the north aisle and halted just outside and received the ongratulations of their many friends, wich consumed cotsiderable time, as the church was wvell filled, and as both bride and groom are favorites in the comm unity, and more especially in Foreston. After the congratulations were over all the young people present having been invited repaired to the resideuce of Major C. S. Land, the father of the roo.m. The house was thrown open and we had what I have heard old people tell of-a good old time. At half past 8 o'clock refreshments vere announced and the gentlemen requested to escort the ladies to the dining room, and your humble ser-. -ant had the honor of ertingr ne of the most lovely and entertaining of the party. The table was filled with all the delicacies of the seasor and full justice was done by all, and if there was any one present who did not enjoy the whole affair from begin ning to end, my verdict is he was not capable of enjoying anything. EIGHTEx. Foreston, S. C., Oct. 23, '97. THE FEVER KILLS SEVEN. Death Rate In New Orleans Takes a Sad den Leap-More Cases. NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 1.-At 11 a. m. the number of deaths took a leap, seven having been reported up to that hour from yellow fever, against but nine new cases. This is the coldest day New Orleans has experienced since the fever out break. Just what effect the heavy rains of Sunday will have upon the spread of the fever is hard to say at this time, but it would not be surprising if the new cases record is considerably swelled. Francis McNulty, the cashier of the American Express company in this city, committed suicide at his home by cut ting his throat. He had the fever and ended his life in a fit of delirium. The disease has spread in the Jewish Widows' and Orphans' home, and two cases have been reported from the Seventh street orphan asylum; which has been heretofore free from the disease. The joint committees on sanitation and quarantine met for the purpose of considering the question of abolishing the house quarantine. There was a lengthy discussion, and it was decided to maintain the quarantine by a v6df of 8 to1. Dr. Formento voted in the negative. Both sides will hand in reports at the meeting of the board of health, when it will be decided whether or not the guard system will be continued. AN INDIAN LEGALLY SHOT. Creek Redskin Went Voluntarily to the Place of Execution. CHELSEA, I. T., Nov. 1.-John Watka, the Creek Indian who shot Jonas Deer, a member of his own tribe, has been legally executed for the crime. The men were rivals for the hand of the same girl and fought at a dance at which she was present to decide who should gain her. Watka kiaied Deer and afterwards married the Indian maiden. Several days prior to the time of the execution preparations for his wife's future welfare were completed and the pang of parting over, Watka set out alone to the public execution grounds. A large crowd was in waiting to wit ness his departure for the happy hunt ing grounds. The prisoner assamed his position, on beaded knees with arms tied behind and a blindfold over his eyes. The rifle was placed in the hands of an expert marksman, a sharp crack and the white spot marked for the heart was discolored with the spurting blood caused by the bullet. Late this summer Watka went to Kansas City with a baseball nine of his fellow redskins and played a game at one of the parks. He had ample oppor tunity to escape, but returned to the territory of his own accord, that his sentence might be carried out. Steamers Stop Until Spring. TAcoMA, Nov. 1.-The steam schooner Lahme, Captain Anderson, has arrived at Tacoma diect from St. Miohace and Dutch Harbor. She left St. Michaels Oct. 14 and Dutch Harbor Oct. 21.

The last of the steamers to seek rendezvoue left St. Michaels while the Lakme was there. Mlakin~g war on the Mullalh.

He also promises to prevent Afridis, who take refuge in Afghanistan, from interfering with British territory. The ameer has been thanked by the government for both these friendly communications.
