Aug 10. It. AULL, Eunro TuAs ELESTION OF 0l11EF JUSTIOg. The election for cirut judges and cLhtef Jutltice wtaslhold oniTuesday. Aln account of it and.the result is given in another column. It will be soon that Souator Mower of Newberry was voted for.And received 61 votes to 98 for Chief Justico MIelver. This we tako It WAS I Very CoIIplIieItaRI-Y Vote to ?ir. Mower. The matter was only mentioned to Mr. Nlower a short time beforo the L-gisltilre met, on Tuesday morning and ho was a candidIato only In tho sense that. he would not. decline the ofieo if the General Asselbly were to oleet him, wlfeh of courso was per m:sion to use his naie. Wo were in Columbia oil t he morning of tho elce tion but know nothling of his being run for the place uiil ,bout 12 o'eloek ar d did not. 'et ,i. Niower durig the day. As at personal fril- of Senator Nlower we would have advised against permit t!ng the use oi his name i wi had had the opportunity, not beeause there was any crime in) runing or in the manner of his running. This much by way of ex pIlanat ion. We find the following in The State newspaper of Wednlesday mornling: We said yesterday Imorning in dkis covering to the general assembly the Intrigue agaillst. Chief .Jlstie iolver: Aiy man had a right. me.,a as iwell as legal, to bVeoie an open candidate against him and take his chances after a fair and open diseusion of merits. Blit the man who would lend himself to a plot like this, depending nQt oil judgimnit but on prejudice, not. on calm consideration but, on a surprise; the manil Who would be th1 hotietleiary of whut in its essence is an undtrhand plot., is it 1111n illntitted for' high trlst and high honor. Let him ho marked if ho shows himself. ILet. the ianlY, fnk-1111c and fair selltilloit, of the Logis liative rbilike this disgraeful intrigue! We Wrote without knowiig the mail, although knowing the plot. Now that the lin is revealed wo havo nothing to withdraw of that which we said. It. would seem from this extract and what follows that The State considers it alhost, high treasoi to have opposed CIhfu Jistice MIlvelr and that, it has mark11.1ed the m11al who did it aiid th.)se who voted for him for destruction and annihilation. That, is its business of course. We have always haId a high regard for Mvt. Melverad 0111 Opinion I, not, changed now, but, we did not know before that any one in Hoith Carolina had any sl)ecial clim1is u1poni any ollee. We hail tlways heen taught and be lieved tIhatt this was a free Coun1try aid that, the toetilhors o the enTeiral As semtbly cold voto for whoiml they pleased %witholit "being nar-ked" for de0SLt-ru-tion or char-ed wit h bt ing inl sinm1 iracefnl intrigue," but. 1he Siate tells us diffrtently. We nver. know before that it, was a sinl in South (.'arolila fort at nnil t I Itii for oliee even if lie were defeated. Ant the fact is we do no0t know it Yet even thoigh The State n3 eWSpIHI' Satys So. When The State newspiaper, says that Sentatotr Mowetr lent, htimsel f to any "disgrzacefulI inatrigue"' aial that, ho is "utii ed totr hiigh trust and I. igh hiotnotr" it says wnat. is utitue andu hiis whole life and his piubl ic ree''. rd is a standing re hbuke to any such statemet,t oir insitnua lt i. i e is ill ever it.ieular the equal ot Ciefi .1 ust ieeAlNvI orV.' aniyother mnatn In South.C (ariolina. 11 is ptrivat.e and pub lic life is puro1 and T1he State dloes himn girave inijustice wit tn it itnsinuates any iinitg to the cont rar'y. Trho election of Mrt. NI ower wouhld ntot hiave imtptairetd "'the int.egrity of the beach" tand when The Statte saty that his beitng voted tot' wats al "conllspiriacy against thu i ntegi 1.y' of the benchi" it says what is unftair and( unljust, antd what is 50 fari as Mir. Miower' is conicernied utntirue, and we do not, see what T1hie State hopes to gain by such a titrade aigatinst Niru. Mower. "'Sout,h Ci'olina does nlot, wiant a ser' vile juit( ciar'y, but otne which dares to be0 right atnd will weari theo badge and col lar' of nIo man11." Thaiut is trute. We agr'eo with The State in this~ assertion anid it Senator Niower' had1 been elected she would hi tav had just as purlte ai b10nch andI a jud ielary as; fait troml hleing servile atnd wearling anty lmn's badge ot' collar' as she hats now. As to reactionismn andu prejutdice we thinitk Thie State exhibits as muchel pre judice as those it aicusos wvith being governedl by it. Tile trtoubhlo with 'Tho State is tht,t it cantI sco bitt one1 side oif anlyt,hing andl( it you1 agr'ee wit hi it aind endor'so its plositins y'ou tile atrighmt and a fir'st.-rato fellow but, if youl. datro have ant opltii of yoai' own and ex press it anld that ointionl runst countter to The State you areo lit otnly for strat,o gem, intr'iguo, conspitracy, 0or anlythling that is bad. Forli tis reatsonI we have always avoided any cotnt.traversy with Th'le State aind we do not, intend to hav'e any now, but It was so unjust, and uni fair to Sonator' Mowetr wo could not htelp saying somoltintg. And then the otLticisim was so uncalld for. Its mian was elected. Was that not enough without making a per'sonal attack on the other' canidalte tand tan attaeck not justiIled by the private life or public recor'd of the other man.' It should have been. nut, its p)rejudice against ,any man11 that would permait himself to bo voted for' against its man blinded It to everything else. Mr. Mower is a contser'vativo in every sense of the woi'd. lie is no reactionist and hboand t hose who voted fot' him need have no fear of the "marking" of Trho ~ ~"~ State. It has "mtarked" peCople befor'e and they still live. We r'egr'et that Tfhe State let its pr'e judico carry it away. to make this attack on Sb .at,or Mower, and "ie manly thing for it to do would be to apologise to him for it. We can see no good to come to oithet The Stato or the Register in diecussinj their personal affairs and telling tht public how inuch they owe and hom much thoy have. Those things art private matters and the public is nol concerned or interested in it. Thou il is not right and we do not consider i in good taste. Certainly Tho llerah and News wishes both had a millot dollars. They are both good news papers and we must say that under the present arrangement the Register ha greatly Improved. Whether it, h making or losing is no concern of ouri and the public generally cares ver little about the financial condition o either. We hope, therefore, they wil give us something else in thoir editora columns and if nothing else can b found give us plato matter. We ask you to read the article of Col D. A. Dickert. Ile is right-. It woult be economy to put down permnanen work on roads and bridges and bont the county if necessary. But $50,001 will not. do the work. It will take threo times fifty thousand. But even thai would be economy and those of us wh< are living now would then enjoy soni of the comforta to bderived from thes< permnalnent improvements. It is a cap ital idea and we have before taken tht same position. ''lhe brid go at K iN pson's should hav( been built. It was no economy not t< build it. Still we say this withou questioning the motives or honesty oi any of those who voted against th( bridge. Solicitor Schunport gained quito a victory in the Newbold ease. lie was leading counsel for the defonso and or Newbold's own statement, about th( best that we could seo for hin was a verdict of manslaughter, but the jury who had the case in charge, gave tht: verdict of "not guilty," and Newbold goes free. That Is the law of that casc and we have nothing to say. GOOD HOAlS And the Way to Build Them-The Failure of Kempson's Bridge. Much has boen said for and against the building of the bridge at Kemp son's, and t,ho Couuty Board has been soroly critici.ed by those who do not understand or appreciato the motivo that influenced the individual incmber in casting his ballot That catch Com missioner voted as his conscience die tated or his ideas of right, and justice prompted there can not be t,ho shadow of a (oubt. I cannot believe a single memaiber voted either way for selfish ends or to favor friends who wore for or against the bridge. There is too much to bo said on both sides. While much of tho pressure brought to boar by outsiders for and against the bridge were by those who are influenced one way or the other, t,he acts of the Coni anissioners have been the best for the county, t.he best for the whole people as they in their official capacity saw it. Those who were unfavorably Inclined looked at the cost, the increase of tax atlon, the extra burden upon the alrea (13 imnpoverished tax-payer, while the tendlency to build bridges wherever a certain setion desired it at theoexpense to the whole county wouild have no end and this bridge would but be an open ing wedge. The Chappells bridge could not be used( as an argument, for Chappells was a growving town, a een t,re of trade and cotton market. The nearest railroad station for a large section of a sister county would bri'ng lar'ge amounts of money in the county that, otherwise would be directed to a different place outside of the county. iLrgo'investmnents and buildings were in course of construction, adding t,here by to our tax books thousands and thousands of dollars. Those who ad vocated the building of the bridge at Keampson's pointed to Chappells t.o show what it had done for Newberry County and the town of Chappolle, and that the bridge at Kemnpeon's would do the same for New berry and Prosperity as towns in the way of trade, and the county in the way of taxes. But here was the difliculty that con fronted those of the Board that voted "nay": The count,y is already far in arroars in the way of tax funds. It is badly be hindl. TPhe last year's levy did not last much beyond the first of March and tho Board was forced to the necessity of using the funds appropriated and collected for the repairs of the court house years before. This $2,500 would have to be replaced with an additional $1,000 for the bridge and with our reg ular county and State tax would run the levy up to five mills. It will almost do so as it is If the county pays up its incidental back indebtedness and run the county on a cash basis or a comnpar ative cash basis. So that portion of the Board that voted "nay" did so in the face of the above facts. And, further. more, seine feel that this 81,000 appro priation would not be the end-that the county would have to guarantee t,he private subscriptions. There is nto law to force these payments, and while every one may have been made in good faith and evident intention of its (pay ment, still many contingenoies. might arise that would 'Sauso a non-payment, and the county would have to pay the forfeiture. The same conditions that existed at GChappolls might confront the Board here. A large amount of private sub scription was pledged by Edgetleld and Nowberry, but when~ the bridge was completed for some cause or other the county of Edgefield assumed the pri vate debt of her citizens. Then when ~his became known in Newberry thoso who had vuboribed, or a very large majority, refused to pay their subsrip tions. "Thea thero you worol" Tho bridge was completed and the builder wanted his money. The sub110ritoe refused to pay, so the county hIad to pay tle whole aliloilnt. While I do not deny that the above was tho proper I and Jklet way in tho beginniing, still I i note the eirounstane 's that iniltuoneed 01110 of tiltIloard, and while they had 110 rigi to 1) 4001 tI 0 willingness or i ability )f all sibser hers to pity, still I there was a preeecent at Chape'1 that Cot Id not ho gainsay0d, and tIhey feared 'tIlat $1.000 %voild not, bo tihe end," a Id instead it 'ould bo $2,500. Thost- wiho voted yea" had reasons I eqlally its good alld !-tronlg. They folt, it. was eolonly to bi Ild a bridge, bot tor $2,.)

The count,v should be boaded for all public tilprol olents of a perlanent lnature. The L -gislature, rt eogn.ing the fact that I p good road. and bridges and easy c mmunieatior to market, depend ed tho prosperity of the county, gave large powers to the County Suporvisor and th ir County Boards. They auth orized County Boards to bond the county to within 8 or cent, of its taxa b!e property for p.rmanent improve monte. omie of the counties have availeI themselves if this opportunity and at' now constiucting good stone road eds under ho most improved methodls. All permano t i uprovements, such as cou:-t houses, jal.s, bridges over riv ors and now forda')lo streams, should not be saddled upon the shouldors of th present tax-payors or even the present gonoration, A structuro that is to last.50 or 100 years should bo paid for in 50 or 100 years. Lot' "each day and generations pay its pro rata. Is it supposiblo that, the great stone thor oughfares of Rome, Greece, and Asia that, were from 20 to 60 years in con struction and costing millions upon millions and lasted for centuries were paid for with one year's collection of its revenues, or even paid for as con pleted? By nto weans. How much better for the county to bond $50,000, macadamnize her principal road where necessary, build steel or even good covered wooden Uridges with steel abuttments or archos, and pay $1,000 with I'lterest every year for fifty years, and at the end of that timo have roads and bridges that ill be monutments for hu idreds of yet es to tho people of this ( xy, than to continue to spend tron * ,500 to $2,00n) per year on worth loss Il iber and dr roads and at, the end of 50 years no better -off than at p)resoe t.

The farmers have gono to work kwith renew id energy. .'tverybody seems to be on the "git.up-anld-git." I novelr knew more plowing: done for thle timo of year.

Yes, we want it because we needl it, and wo want it to be a big worm at that--noth ing loss than a grub worm. We hear some snch talk as the guano men going to corner on tile guano this year. It has been reported that they intend to demand spot cash or bank able papers for these goods. As a r'uie, we are opposed to trusta anmd conmbina tions, but tis is one that We can most heartily congratulate. We hope thtat, thtey will adopt this plan and stick up to it.

We went out to Prosperity last wveek and, as a matter of fact, we went in, as we always do, and swap)ped a few yarne with our old1 friend KCay. We found him in the very best of humor. He has bought out Mr. 8. S. Blirge, and has again resumed the mercantile busi noss. Kay is a hustler when it comes to a point of business, and don't you forgot it. He always holds his head just high enough to never overlook a customter, and my, oh! if he happens to heai a little money rattling about your old clothes, such bargains you may ex pect to get. But pool, old Chips was unfortunate at tils time. HeI didn't have any money, and his 01(1 friend K(ay gave him a newspaper and took him around to his desk and told hinm to occupy his big chair. Just as we sat down the chair began to move around, and every time we wouldl move the chair~ would move, so our~ surprise was excited to such an extent that we be gani to think that the wvhole house was fIxing to rnn off, but it was not long be fore we discovered that it was one of those wvhirml-around chairs that worked on a pivot. In facet, it was a big round thing with a cushion in the bot,tom. I have now described'the chair, and plecase don't ask me to namo it, for we don't run those kind of thing. out here in the country.
