At least threo genuine Reformers (fall it Refawmers if you liko it better that way) will grace tho beneh horeaftcr in addition to Judgo Gary who was the output of tho machine last year. Two othor judges will continue to sit whose plaeo in pol itics is a matter of doubt and that is why thoy are not in private life to night. Yes, tho weok has been devoted to tho log rolling, stop-in-tho-passago-for chat and noso counting business. Tho vacant judgcshlps made up one of the richest pies yot set before the dominant clement and of course they mado much ado in slicing it out. It was not a hard matter to bo elected judgo this year und the ermine was in arm's reach of a I must any man who had boon admitted to tho bar and the innor cireles of tho Tillman series of coneontrie rings?for sovoral rings surround tho Governor now of which' that mado of tho Gary and Evans strain of patriots is tho nearost and closest. At tho opening of tho week It looked as if Col. Watts must succeed Judgo Hudson; there has never been any doubt of that: but thoro appeared a living chanco for Wallace and I/Jar as woll as Witherspoon. It was supposed until shortly before tho election that tho Gary-Evans people wore friendly to both tho last named but it is said that they wore frightened into abandoning them by a threat mado by tho Honet and Jordan backers to knifo Eugene Gary unless thoy spocilled. So they specified. The enthusiastic Dr. Samps Pope insists that Judge Witherspoon could not by any means havo been olocted had it not been circulated generally that ho supported tho Reform county tickot in York last yoar as weil as Con gressman Strait. Senator Finloy, of York, a consistent Roformor, who is an absolutely freo man by the way and who nominated Judge Witherspoon denies this positively. Senator Fin ley never speaks unless ho knows what ho is talking about. So it is Judgo W. C. Bonet in the 1st (Charleston) cir cuit instead of Judgo Izlar; Judge Richard C. Watts in the fourth instead of Judge Josh Hudson and Judgo Town send in tho seventh instoad of tho speaker of the "Wallace" house. Judgo James Aldrich was unanimously olocted in tho second which tends to provo what nobody knows -that ho is a Re former; and Judgo Withorspoon is se cure in his borth for four more solar revolutions. At tho closo of tho last session of tho Gonoral Assembly "Associate Justice" Ira B. Jones was a tolerably distinct figure in tho camera of futuro events but the vision did not materialize. Tho impression is that the Reformers formers regarded Mr. Jones as slightly too shrewd a lawyer to make a good judgo as well as that he was an actual necessity to the financial protection of certain townships in Lancaster county. So it is Associate Justice Gary and tho gillant old chieftain of "McGowan's rigade" is retired to the lasting but peculiar glory that pertains to tho po- | litical methods that "go*' in theso times, There was a lively light over tho of fice of register of mesne conveyance for Charleston which yields stipends to ' tho amount of about 94000 a yoar. J. I E. Cogswell, a Tillmanite, of course, but ono not so in an "offensive sense" was elected over Graham. Langley, i Motortens, Thorroll and others. The J Conservatives votod for Motortens but changed to Cogswell and accomplished the defeat of Graham and Thorrell, either of whom would havo been dis tasteful to Charleston. What else has the General Assembly done ? Whut else will it do? It has made progress in tho direc tion of salary reduction and the bill was passed on second reading In tho House. Last yoar thoro wore numer ous such bills introduced in tho House and this one is tho composite one from them all constructed by the House Judiciary committee, the product of incubation, as Dan Sullivan, tho Irish member from Charleston puts it. Oife thing to keep In mind the salary reduction bill has not been passed vet, and may never become a law. Your correspondent has heard leading Re formers predict that it would never go on tho Statute books. In accordance with the Governors recommendation, a new Dispontary law will be enacted. It will preserve all tho essential features of the old scheme and an effort will be made to render it a more finished and systom matical measure. Tho Governors sug gestion for the opening of liconed boor and wino shops will meet with intense opposition and it is said that not even Mr. John Gary Evans will consent to its adoption. Senator Stanyarnre Wilson of Spar* tanburg. has introduced a bill to com pel certain corporations, railroads tel egraph and express companies excepted to pay their employees weekly in cash. Tho design of the l>ill is to break up tho system by which manufacturing companies pay their operatives in checks, good only at "Company" stores. The measure stands a fair" chance to pass. Senator Wilson thinks that tho factories will strongly oppose it. Representative Uleaso of Newberry, has a bill to exempt dwellings on farms from taxation for a period of iivo years, and another with like exemptions as to hogs, shoop, cattle and horses. It is doubtful if Mr. Hleaso has thoslightost expectation that they will go through. The bill for tho repeal of the charter of corporations refusing to pay thoir taxes is now pending in the Senate and only awaits-its third reading to pass. This is tho most radical measure of tho session. Under its provision the At torney General will bo instructed to commenced suit for tho winding up of tho business of all rebellious railroad companios whoso charters are annullod. Tho Governor recommended tho pas sago of tho bill and that amounted to its enactment. Tho county government bills of Senator .Tonkins and John Gary Evans havo been mado special orders for next Tuesday. Senator Evans bill will pos sibly bo accepted this year although it will be vigorously fought. It has boon on tho Refer m program for throe or j four years already. Its passage is not by any means a certainty. Tho problem of tho session is the rovlsion of tho laws which has been completed by Ropresontattvo Hlease," who succoedod tho late Judge Maker as a special commissioner for that pur pose. If all the laws havo to bo road it will consume days and weoks and perhaps a month, necessitating a ses sion prolonged into January. Of course a rocoss will bo taken for Christmas. A plan has boon montionod by which only those parts of the statutes in which ehangos'havo boon mado aro to bo road and considered except por'naps in com mittee. The wholo mattor has boon referred to a joint committo of both Houses which ondoavor to report a method to facilitate tho todious work. To sum up tho important logislation tolorably suro of passage in cludes by tho adoption of tho Maher Brazoale docdiflcatlon,tho now Dispen sary bill, tho ropoal charter act and Wilson's labor wages law. Tho Laurons delegation aro at tho Grand Central, oxocpt Col. Watts, who is at Wright's, which has always boon his Columbia home. Senator Fuller voted for Jonos for Associate Justice. Tho roprosonlativos supported Gary. Tho Greenwood County bill has boon introduced. It will not pass, but ( 'apt.

The Laurens Advertiser re cently askod, when mentioning some thing about the "taekey party" that was given hero, "Where is Hartsville anyway?" Last week the editor of tho Choraw Reporter attempted to answer The Advsrtiser's question, and said among other things: 'To tho host of my knowledge and holiof tho town of Hartsville is in the northeastern part of Darlington county, near tho Chesterfield lino, and Its near ness to this county and its "tacky party" are what havo given it what prominence it may already have.' "Tho Reporter man is badly "oil his base" as to the "prominence" attained by Hartsville. Wo know tho town is small, but at tho same time wo know it is prominent as a cotton market and as a business place. Leaving off the Che raw dispensary, there is moro money spent in Hurtsvillo any day of the week than there is in tho historic old town of Choraw. There is also a groat deal moro cotton sold in Hartsville than thoro is in Choraw or any other town with Choraws population, in tho Poo Deo section. Tho Southern Mattress Manufacturing Company and tho Car olina Fiber Mills aro also located here. These aro tho things that give Harts ville prominence." Moiiut Olivo. Tho people of this and adjoining communities seem to bo very slow about getting up their schools for another year. Mr. J. R. Kodden visited friends and relatives in this community last Sun da v. Mrs. Margaret Moore and Mrs. Ltl lio Box visited relatives at this place not long sinco. Mr. .1. H. culbortsoon took a pleas ant trip to Pea Ridge last Sunday. Mr. H. W. Jones loft last Saturday for Texas to visit his mother. Wo wish him a pleasant trip. Mr. Lee Holt, a well known citizen of an adjoining community, left with his family a few days ago for Indian Territory. Several others will start for the West now soon. If they will wait a little we will go with them. Mr. Julius Knight had tho misfor tune to lose his horse last Sunday. Some few of tho citizens of this (com* munity are attending the Exposition in Augusta. Trip. The Rest Kind of Exorclao. There is no single exercise which com bines so many health giving qualities as riding. It is peculiarly vuluablo to children, for it is tho most certain and gontlo developer of tho back and stom ach muscles and imparts a tone to tho entire system that cannot possibly bo attained in any other way. Even foot ball, the hardiest of all games, falls short of having tho samo invigorating effect on the boy. If this be true for tho hoy?and such it is now generally admitted to be?how much more neces sary is riding to tho young girl who has no gnmo but lawn tonnis, which fails to exercise tho most important parts of her body? Few boys and girls, and almost as few men and women, think twico of the vt)\ uo of different kinds of oxerciso to thorn, or would know much about it if they did think. Any oxerciso of course, mod erately taken, is better than tioiie, but the exercise which acts upon amis ;:j?d legs only is of not one-half tho value of that which acts on tho body, tho chest, stomach and back. When, then, an or erciso is found that acts on all, its value is apparent without further argument. ?Harper's Young People. Detecting n Culprit. The Rev Joseph Haven, who preached in Rochester, N. H., during tho last quarter of tho last century, has been al ways remembered for his genial spirit and his inexhaustible humor. One story told of him has many parallels, but it it quite as likely to bo true in his case a* in any. Tho boy had been guilty of some grave offense, and yet would not confess it. "I can tell who did it," said tho parson, and accordingly ho called together all tho boys suspected and cxplainod to them that he had confined a rooster under n kottlo in a darkened room. One after another they must pass in and touch tho kettlo. When the guilty boy touched it,he might oxpect to hear tho rooster crow. Tho lads filed in and out again and were made to display their fingers. All but thoso of ono lad wero sooty. Ho, tho guilty one, had not ventured to touch the telltalo kottlo.?Youth's Companion.
