C. Truesday. December 5. MRt. JORDAN, of Aiken, whom the people of the Sixth Circuit hardly know, received 40 votes, while Mr. Brice received only 18. The Register reporter says that the reason Mr. Brice received bo few votes for Judge of the Sixth Circuit is that he committed the crime of having voted for Hemphill for Congress. JUDGE WITHERSPOON is to be con gratulated that he was re-elected. There is no more conscientious man in the State than he. How much his election is due to his relationship to the Gary family we do not know. "MANY canneries on the peninsula this fall," says the Baltimore Herald, "have experimented with canned sweet potatoes. If it proves a success the canneries will be able to run for sev eral weeks longer each season and the farmers will have a. chance to sell their potato surplus in the home market." Why not try the same "experiment" in South Carolina? We can supply the United States with sweet potatoes, without diverting a day or a dollar from the cultivation of other crops. News and Courier. The Ladies Cannery of this place has tried them this season, and has already received several orders. The Judgeshtp EleetIans. We do not care to criticise the gen tlemen who have been elevated to such high positions of trust. We do not knowv a great deal about the new Judges, but don't think that any ol them have ever distinguished them selves as lawyers. Mr. Benet is a very scholarly man, and a politician. Mr. Townsend is not a briLliant man, but is willing to dig hard for his legal knowledge. Of Mr. Watts we do not know much. Mr. Eugene B. Gary is a very young man for the Supreme Bench, and un less he has very quick parts will niot distinguish himself for many years te come. This position should be re served for a man who is ripe in legal knowledge through many years of active practice and hard, close, and diligent study. The evil of the times, however, is that ilhe hard students, and those best fitted for the judiciary, stand aloof from polit'c=', and hence they are not thought of in connectiox with judgeships. Judge Hudson is one of the ablesi judges on the South Carolina Bench, a man of the highest integrity, but he would not bend his conscience to de elare something good law that he thought unconstitutional, and hence, he was deposed even if Mr. Watts had to be taken from another circuit. Judge Izlar has not been on the bench long, but he didn't have the Tillmanite Shiboleth, and had to be removed even if Mr. Benet had to be imported from another circuit. The effort to make the judiciary sub servient to the will of the administra tion is what we find to criticise more than tho men who have just been elected. It is a most dangerous policy, and it will surely recoil on those who have done it. The deplorable part of this proce dure is that it is done by our own people. We believe the Radicals ini only one instance took a man from one circuit and made him a tyrant over another. It was denounced by our people as outrageouse. We cannot be lieve that such proceedings will be countenanced by the people of this State. UPPER LONGTOWN DOTS. LONGTOWN, S. C., November 29. The weather has beent pretty severe for the past week, and judging by the begining, this wilt be a severe winter. What a blessing this cold snap was to fever-stricken Brunswick. So you see if winter isn't the most pleasant sea son, it is generally the healthiest. The farmers are, in most instances, about through harvesting their crops, and the die among them is cast for '93-whether for weal or woe-but we all hare much to be thankful for. We were filed 'with pride to see that Fairfield's exhibit at Augusta was among the best, if not the best, there. If part of our County could make such a. display, what could the whole County do? Make a grand one of course. Now is the tine to get efry one interested ini this subject. We hope the whole County will be reprt resentea next year. A great deal of oats and some wheat has been so'Wn in this section. Highest of aU in Leavening Powe tunate as to have his leg broken while returning home from Ridgeway on Friday night last. The cart he was ridina in ran over a log, upsetting it and tYirowing him out. At last ac count he was getting along as well as might be expected. A sociable was given at Mr. L. T. Wilds' on Thursday night last. Quite a number of the young people of the community were present, and a very pleasant evening was spent. Amuse ments consisted of parlor games and sweet music. The inimitable hostess (in the absence of the host) was as sisted by her amiable and gifted sister, nee Miss Mamie Edmunds. We are very sorry that Mr. Wilds intends leav ing. Longtown can ill afford to spare such a citizen. Miss Alice Mellichamp, of Columbia, has been visiting Miss Rosa Melli champ. Rev. Mr. McClure preaches at the Presbyterian Church every second and fourth Sunday, and at Ridgeway every first and third of each monti;. The Upper Longtown school, under the able management of Dr. John Boyd, is progressing rapidly. Thirty scholars have been enrolled, and more to come yet. The Lower Longtown school hasn't opened yet. E. H. D. KNIGHTS OF DEPRESSION. BONE YARD, Nov. 30, 1893. In pursuant to a call of the Execu tive Committee, The Brotherhood of the "Order of Knights of Depression" eimt at their usual place of meeting, Brother Shortcrop presiding. le stated in clear and conciie language to the brotherho.>d the object of the meeting, which was to devise some way, or method, by which the noble order might find relief from the cares and responsibilities which were gradually but surely settling each one deeper into that terrible "Slough De spond." Brother Hardup (by the way one of our most prominent members) took the floor nud stated that he was well acquainted with the bituation and sympathized, not only with himselt, but with each member of the brother hood, and that he felt that the person&. knowledge of debt and pecuniary obli gations to others was hai d enough to pnt up with, with ut haying to be re t.ded, two or three times a week, that an "1. 0. U.'" had fatlen due, and that the time had been when heet renigly advocated "Special Deliverieb" and "Star Lines," but that was a thing of the past, and that he would move, if he could get a secotnd, that the brother hood petition the Postmaqter General of these United States that the "Star Line" route leading from the town ot Win nsboro ta~ R.ue Tara bue diacon T.ea, for tneC simple fact that it had become a public nuisance and had, a demoralizing influence upon the entire community. as the only matter tran - mited usually came in the shape of "Statements" or "invitations," besides the postmaster himself (who kept a little store) bad a tired and dejected look. Brother Freshet arose anid said that he would second the brother's motien (Brother Freshet lives down on the placid Wateree; a good man, though has never seeu Soloman's grave,) and would like to make a motion himself. He said that Goiernor Tillman was a personal friend of his, and that the tiovernor had not gone anywhere yet, and if any living mortal could do any thing for us why the Governor was the man to do it. lHe sai,1 that he would move that the brotherhood petition Governor Tillman that he petition his Legislature to either pass a Stop Law, or iaise the price of cotton to 128 cents per pound, he did not care which, and if the Governor could not get that done, why he knew what he could de, he counld get that Northern Missionary Woman tbat be was in copartnership with feeding the isegroes on the coast to come up here, and the two together could get all the glory they wanted in that line. Bro. Fteshet stated that whilst he had never been drenched with salt water, that be bad had a powerful sight of muddy water poured in on him, and the result was just as bad, as if a volcano had bursted and run all over him. Brother Cantpay got up and said that he had paid close attention to what had been said, and would like to make a few remarks himself, and that if there was any virtue in the old adage, that "misery loved company," that we ought to feel satisfied, for the whole country was in the same fix; that even the town folks were bad off, for he knew that one of the biggest merchants in the town of Winnebore had sent out a lot of fancy groceries to a gin-house in his neighborhood to swap for cotton seed, and that was clear to his mind that that merchant was hard up or he would not have done tha'. Brother Hlard pan, one of our oldest brethren, said tl'at he~ had been living~ ii this neighb->rho,d niigh en ta four sCore sears. an~d tha~t the~se were the worst timit he ha.I .ver seena, an:d that he though' it a gow:t zi-.ne for Gabriel to toot his horns. Brothr Nocrop ,nid that hie had been notiflled to attend the meeting, and was in, hopes that he would have heard somnethis-g of a cheerful nature, but was sorry te say that he had heard nethig but Delbt, D~amnation and Destruction, and that if he could get hold of about a mule's ear full of Dispensary he would go home and rest, for he hadn't had a good Light's sleep in three weeks. He didn't knew what was the matter with him, whether it was his liver or his debts, or both. Brother lardup moved that before the meeting adjourned a collection be taken up for the benefit of Brother Freset. as he was in very needy circumstances. The hat was passed around, and two dimes and a five cents was the result. Brother Hlardup said .if it wan in eter he moved that the brotherhood -xtend a cordial invitation to Mr. ame Q. Davis to cha aone his Dra matic Club to Bone trd,I and if be -w.anM c iua that the talent of the r.-Latest U. S. Gov't Report. Powder ELY PURE Iramatists would be highly appreciated, sapecially if it was "free grattis." There being nothing e!se on hand of importance, the brotherhood moved to adjourn until Christmas day, unless iome fresh calamity should occur. S. P. HARDTIMES, Secretary and Treasurer. NEWS FROM RIDGEWAY. RIDGEwAY, S. C., Dec. 1.-For ieveral days past our city has been noted for its dullness. In consequence Df the scarcity of money, very little of it has changed hands. However, bales of the "fiteecy staple" still con tinue to come in, notwithstanding the low price. People are anxious to pay p indebtedness, and the prospect for sin advance is so gloomy that they have concluded to "let her roll," and go as far as it will towards liquidatitng caims against them. The roads leading to our place are kept pretty warm by the cotton seed buyers. We see by the Alabama papers that seed is selling there at 24c. Why such a diference in pii:e in Alabama and South Carolina we are unable to see, for from ascoants the cotton crop there is about like here, and do not suppose they are in much better conditio n (financially) than the people here. Some of the Georgia papers claim there is a combination in South Carolina and Georgia the cause. Not knowing we cannot say. The ladies of the Baptist Church here gave a hot supper thanksgiving night, which was largely attended and well patronized. Mr. Heins Coleman very kindly gave them the use of his large and commodious house, and it was said by one capable of judging (for we think he knows when rations are nicely "fixed up") that it was certainly the best managed affair of the kind be ht. ever attended in Ridgeway. F --ty-one dollars were realized. Certainly a success these hard times. All ecemed to enjoy themselves finely, and everything pasted off nicely. Thanksgiving day was qnite dull here. The afternoon was taken ad vantage of by the young men who amused themselves hunting. The fields were full of Nimrods, who frightened the poor birds; bnt very few were brought in. However, the stores were not closed until too late for the clerks to do much towards hunting. It was certainly a dull day here for business, and the stores might as well have been closed all day, for there was nothing done. x. Y. z. All Free.
