Of all the men who were prominent participators In the political iniquity of the reconstruction period in South Carolina and who made themselves infamous by joining hands with alien oppressors and stooping to the lowest degrees of perfidy and dishonor, probably the brightest, brainiest and most resourceful was Thomas J. Mackey. He was equal to Chamberlain in breadth of intellect, superior to Car penter in wit, and surpassed Melton in eloquence. His talents would have made him conspicuous in any country and under any conditions, but while his dazzling wit attracted the gaze, and perhaps the admiration, of many, his utter iack of moral principle excited only the contempt of all high-toned and honest men. He was a renegade, a trickster, a time-server and a hypocrite. He could deliver eloquent harangues on scripture and move bis audience to tears, and he was equally facile in the profanities of the bar-room and the gambling hell. He could shine in the drawing room like a Chester field, and take a hand in a street brawl with the lowest and roughest of mankind. He was a desperate adventurer of unfailing nerve and undoubted cour age, and had pursued a wild and reckless career from early boyhood. At the age of thirteen he wont to the Mexican war, and fought through it like a hero. When the great war between the States came on he went promptly to the front and fought side by side with the bravest until our army surrendered at Appomattox. In 18()fi he was attacked by seven armed ru.Hans in Texas, and he re ceived six wounds while he killed three of his assailants and wounded two others. In reviewing his career one con stantly wonders how be ever acquired his extensive and varied knowledge, and more than all, his fine literary attainments, for such attainnents are not usually acquired except through years of close application to study and practice, and Mackey’s wild erratic life was surely out of all keeping with the habits of a student Soon after his encounter in Texas as mentioned above, he returned to South Carolina and gave in his alle giance to the radical party then be ing placed in control of the State government by United States bayo nets. Perhaps he saw with his eagle eye from far off Texas the chances that were opening up here for adven ture, if not for fame and fortune. Whether he had ever studied law or not, we do not know, but he was soon elected a circuit judge and took his seat on the bench and handled the most difficult cases with all the ease and dexterity of a man who had a thorough and extensive judicial training. He would astound the lawyers by quoting authorities which they had never heard of, and when he quoted from books with which they wore familiar, readily giving from memory not only the name of the vo'.ume but the page and the section, they were completely amazed at the extent, variety, and accuracy of his knowledge. It was said, however, that the nonplussed lawyer would often afterwards look up the references so readily made by the judge and would be astounded again to find things very different from what the judge had asserted. It is told that on one occasion he told a prisoner that while the spe cific crime with which he had been charged had not been clearly proved, yet he would sentence him to the penitentiary for one year on general principles!—and he did so sentence him. When the up-rising under Hamp ton took place in ’7ti, Mackey was shrewd and far-seeing enough to forecast the result, and he made haste to provide for his own interests by turning over to the democrats. He rendered valiant services in the exciting political campaign which followed, and for these services the first democratic legislature rewarded him by re-instating him.on the bench for another term. It was probably du:ing the first court held at Spartanburg under a democratic administration, about 1877 or 78, that Judge Mackey pre sided, and we served as a juror under him. vVe have vivid recollections to this day of him and his court. He was then tall and straight, with jet black hair, nimble step, and dark, keen, restless eyes that darted quick glances at every body in the court room. Sometimes they would twinkle with delight when he had effected the sudden discomfiture of some pre suming attorney, and at other times they would almost glare with fierce ness when somebody had questioned his rulings or otherwise crossed his path. He worked lawyers, jurors, and court officers for all that he could get out of them. He would frequently hold court till 2 o’clock in the morn ing, and then order the crier to shout from the court house steps loudly enough to arouse the sleeping inhabi tants of the town, "0 yes, O yes, this court is now adjourned until 9 o’clock this mokning !” Those were strange words ringing out over Spar tanburg at 2 o’clock in the morning. We remember to have tried to get a prominent member of the bar to get up a formal protest against such work among the attorneys, but he replied, “It would do more barm than good, for if ho were informed that wo lawyers don’t like it, he would keep us here all night.” It was said that the judge himself was afflicted with insomnia, and hence he could keep others awake without any inconvenience to him self. His couit* presented as much va riety as a first-class circus, with the judge himself acting as head clown. He sent one lawyer to jail for coming into court in an intoxicated condi tion; he sentenced one negro who had been tried for some offense to two hours imprisonment in the jail— just long enough, ho said, for him to get his dinner; he would make sal lies of wit and ridicule in all direc tions; and once in a while, he would break forth in strains of as pure and lofty eloquence, as we have ever heard. BRIDGE ACROSS BUFFALO. I’eople Here are not Satisfied With the Contract to liuild It. Correspondence of Tne Ledger.l Buffalo, Oct. 24.—Mr. Noah Hoyle moved to Gaffney last Monday. Mr. E. H. Bridges is building a roller mill on Buffalo creek. He ex pects to be ready for grinding wheat by the first of January. A contract to build a bridge across Buffalo creek just above Mr. E. H. Bridges’ mill, was let out last Satur day. It was bid off for three hundred and seventy-two dollars. If the con tractors exercise a little good judg ment in buying the material and* hireing labor they will in all proba bility, clear something over one hun dred dollars on the job. Other par ties offered to build it for three hun dred and fifty dollars, but their bid has been ignored. It has been esti mated by men who have built bridges before, that it will not cost three hundred dollars to build it. Now will the county supervisor investigate the matter and be as economical with the county’s money as he was when he was having cottages built on the “poor house” farm. If it was right to refuse to pay the contracters who built those cottages the price he promised them because they bought their material cheaper than he ex pected they would, is it not also right to save the county money on this job right in the face of tbe fact that other men are willing to take it for twenty-two dollars cheaper than the ones that got it. (juite a number of people are indignant over the matter. The people of Cherokee township living north of the Southern railroad would feel very grateful to her honor able State senator and representatives if they appoint some man as town ship commissioner who would look after the welfare of the public and who would not prostitute his office for the benefit of himself nor his sons. Wo do not need a man as wise as Solomon in his own estimation, but one with plain common sense enough to know when a bridge needs repair before it is ready to fall down or when a public road needs working before it comes almost impassible. What about that bridge across Broad river the people of Cherokee township were promised before they left York county? Will it ever be built? The people on this side want it. The business men of Gaffney are losing trade for the want of it. Bachelor.

Lockhart, Oct. 28,—The Southern has built a water tank at this place. It will bo a great convenience as heretofore water for the boiler was procured from one of the mill hy drants. We have now an express office here under the management of Mr. W. H. Cary. A considerable amount of cotton is marketed here each day which shows that a fair price is being oaid for the fleecy staple. Mr. Charlie Williams, eldest son of our superintendent, had tbe misfor tune to get his arm broken last Sun day evening in a somewhat peculiar manner. He was attacked by a dog and in order to defend himself hurled a brickbat at the dog with the result mentioned above. We are unable to say whether he hit tbe dog or not. A few months ago Charlie got his arm broken in the same place while trying to catch a ball at a baseball game, Something to feed cows on is quite an item now. Cotton seed is out of reach and as yet we have failed to procure hulls and meal. Wild geese have not made their ap pearance on the river as yet. A party of hunters from Lockhart recently caught a fox. There are a good many dogs here and a few of our boys delight to bunt. Homo. When to Stop Advertlfllng. An English journal revuested a number of its largest advertisers to give their opinions concerning the right time to stop advertising, and the following replies were received: When the population ceases to multiply, and tho generations that crowd on after you and never beard of you stop coming on. When you have convinced every body whose life will touch yours that you have better goods and lower prices than they can get anywhere •Ise. When others stop making fortunes right in your sight solely through the direct use of the mighty agent. When you forget the words of tbe shrewdest and most successful men concerning tbe main cause of tbeir prosperity. When younger and fresher houses in your line cease starting up and using the newspaper in telling the people bow much better they can do for them than you can. When you would rather have your own way and fail than take advice and win. When you have decided to shut up shop for good, or when you die. Loral Cotton Report.
