WADDY THOMPSON, J Editors. Thursday, Hoy. 3, 1892. THE COUNTY JUDGE. One of the measures that will probably bo brought before the Legislature for consideration is a bill to provide for a judge for each county. Some of the anti- Tillman papers are inclined to speak sneeringly of this bill, calling it a Tillmanite measure conceived for the purpose of supplying with place some faith ful Tillmanite in each county. It is a wrong spirit that gives rise to this indiscriminate op position to everything that em anates from the administration All measures presented to the Legislature should be consider ed upon their ments and if the Tillmanites propose a good law the antis should be ready to as sist in its passage. There is merit in the County Judge idea and it will be well for our lawmakers to .look into the matter carefully and with out political prejudice. Other States have the County Judge and wherever tried the plan works well. Our trial justice system is wofully unsatisfacto ry. Most of the trial jwstices in this State are incompetent to act upon matters brought be fore them and, consequently, the higher court is often crowded with cases that could have been settled in the trial justice court. Often, too, when cases are sent to the higher court gross irreg ularities appear. The proceed ings of the higher court are thus blocked, causingconfusion, delay and expense to the coun ty. Would it not be better and more economical to abolish the trial justice system and substi tute the County Judge ? This Judge couldholdhis court every Monday, or even salesday. lie could settle immediately the cases within his jurisdiction and the others he could send to the higher court. And if we had the chain gang the J udge could without delay sentence to hard labor prisoners convicted of smaller crimes. This would Jpep the jail from being crowd ed with idle worthless fellows, who live comfortably at the ex pense of the county. Commit ting officers should be appointed at proper places in the county to send cases to the county court. It might be well to combine the offices of County Judge and Probate Judge. The duties of the two offices would not con flict and one officer could easily attend to the combined work. The office of County Judge will, however, be of little benefit un less a good salary be attached to it. A good salary will com mand intelligent service. Be sides the office will be an im portant one and “the laborer is worthy of his hire.” It will be impossible to get a capable man for the position at a small sal ary and an incompetent official will cause the same trouble that we now have and the change from the trial justice to the County Judge will do us no good. There can be no doubt that there is much to be said in favor of the County Judge idea and its careful consideration by the Legislature may be productive of good. WE HOPE FOR THE BEST. The latest news from Co lumbia indicates a brighter prospect for the refunding of the State debt. It is reported that a well known and reliable Wall Street firm has made an offer to refund the debt and that the Governor now has the offer under consideration. It is also rumored that the matter of leas ing the State’s phosphate beds to capitalists, who will in pay ment take up the entire State debt, is also underconsideration. This method of liquidating the entire debt is not a new idea. It was first suggested several years ago and has since been freely discussed pro and con. Whatever may be done, we trust the result reached will be to the best interest of the State. We are satisfied that the peo ple cf South Carolina will assist the administration in this all important matter—a matter that seriously affects every in dividual citizen. If the Gov ernor will free his mind from the idea of “conspiracies”, he will find among us all a willing ness to cooperate with him in ian wishes the State to refund the debt satisfactorily. Only fanatics and extremists wish a failure because it is Tillman who is directing the matter. Tillman’s course in fighting capital and Wall Street has, in our opinion, retarded the settle- ment of the debt question. This is but a natural view to take of it. One cannot kick a man down the steps and then find it an easy matter to borrow money from him. However, it is to be hoped that the Governor will succeed in spite of his previous course towards capital. If he should be successful none will congratulate him more heartily than The News. The matter is of too much importance to the Slate for narrow partisan ship to enter into its consider ation. THE SILENT VOTE. Will Follow the Distinguished Republi cans Who Left the Party. [Baltimore Sun.J When Republican Kx-Cabinet ministers, Ex-Governors of States, Judges upon the Bench and off of it. men who have been seriously thought of as Republican candidates for the Presidency-men like Ex-At torney General Wayne Mac- Veagh, of Pennsylvania; Ex- Governor Jacob D. Cox, of Ohio; Ex Judge Thomas M. Cooley, of Michigan, and Judge Gres ham—avow their intention to vote for Mr. Cleveland can any one doubt that these distinguish ed names stand as examples and illustrations of the tens of thousands of Republicans in the quiet ranks and walks of life, who, thinking and feeling just as these distinguished men think and feel, but under no call or obligation to make public pro clamation of their purposes or their reasons, mean also to vote for Cleveland and tariff reform on the 8th of November? Is not this what the increased regis tration means? It presages a silent vote, which, without the aid of brass bands or fireworks, or the log cabins and hard cider which Mr. Blaine remembers in connection with the elder Harri son’s campaign, will settle the result of the pending election upon the firm basis of sober re flection and conviction. At least this is what Democrats are justified in hoping and be lieving to-day. TALKING A THOUSAND MILES. Another Triumph of the Long Distance Telephone Apparatus. “Hello, Chicago !” “Well, what isit, New York?” “Are you all right ?” “I can hear you just as plain as if you were standing within three feet of me.” The above conversation took place on October 25 shortly be fore 9 o’clock between a tele phone operator in the American exchange in New York city and another operator in the company in Chicago, over the longest telephone ever successfully us ed. Strange as it may seem, it was a deal easier to get the Windy City over the new phone from New York than it is to make a connection with Brooklyn. The words pass over the great wire in a resonant way that can be heard as distinctly as one of Chauncy Depew’s bon mots across a dinner table. Mayor Grant conversed with Mayor Washburne at Chicago. The operators of the new long distance line will all be men. Girls will have nothing to do with the scheme. No “cuss words will be allowed, and, as near as can be assertained, it will cost about $10 for the re cently arrived Chicago pork r acker in New York to inform his wife at home that he is here. The tariff, until the phones between the two cities become in general use, will be very ex pensive but the company promi ses to reduce them as early as possible. GOVERNMENT FOR THE PEOPLE. Cleveland’* Explanation of the Demo cratic Position. On one side the claim is de fiantly and arrogantly an nounced that the functions of our government may be used directly for the benefit of cer tain special interests, with at best a very remote regard to the welfare of the masses of the people. In opposition to this, an appeal is made to our fellow- citizens to hold fast to the doc trine that their government should at all times be adminis tered directly for them, and that they should not be obliged to receive, as their share of the blessings of the free government they maintain^ the small por tion which may filter through to them in the process of mak ing special beneficiaries rich. In other words, the Democratic party is insisting upon the hon est application of the rule that a government by the people should be a government for the people. Interest From World. Eight negroes were convicted at Chestertowu, Md., on Thurs day for the murder of a white man. The Prince of Wales and his son, the Duke of York, are ex pected to attend the World's Pair. Prof. William Swinton, the well known author of the series of school books that bear his name, died suddenly in New York on Tuesday of last week. The collapse of a bridge under construction in the State of Washington last week caused the death of seven workmen and the injury of eleven others, five fatally. A great sensation has been caused in Kansas by the dis covery of a plot to assassinate Jerry Simpson, the Third pany leader and member of Congress from that State. A house of correction in Aus tria was burned on Thursday. Twelve prisoners are known to have been burned to death and others are missing^iiMany are severely injured. John P. Rea, of Minnesota, ex-commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, who has been a life long Repub lican, announces that he will vote for Cleveland. It is reported that the railroad switchmen all over the country are preparing to strike in May next. They hope to cripple the World Fair business of the rail roads and thus force them to a concession to their demands. The city of Milwaukee, Wis., was visited by a terrific confla gration on Friday night. Many large stores and warehouses and a number of residences were de stroyed. It is estimated that the loss am< unts to $3,000,000. several persons were killed. A strike is pending among the operatives in the cotton mills at Liverpool and Manchester, in England. Efforts are being made to prevent the strike, but it is thought that nothing will stop it. The strike will effect 13,000,000 spindles and <52,000 persons. W. G. Veal, who was a Briga dier General jn the Confederate army, attended a Confederate reunion at Dallas, Texas, last week. While eating dinner at a hotel he was shot dead by Dr. R. N. Jones. The cause of the killing was that Gen. Veal wronged Dr. Jones’ wife twenty years ago, before the doctor married her. The inhabitants of the town of Temochio, Mexico, have been in a revolt against the Mexican government for about a year. A short time ago they defeated the government soldiers in a skirmish. This enraged the authorities who ordered the town annihilated. Troops were sent there who massacred the entire population. Not a citi zen of the town, except a few who escaped to the mountains, survive. A steamer was wrecked off the coast of France on Thursday night and seventeen persons were drowned. A steamer was also wrecked off the coast of Portugal last week when one hundred and thirteen neonle STATE NEWS. Gathered From Our Exchanges, And Put in Paragraphs. During the cold snap last week there was ice in some sec tions of upper South Carolina. The State authorities made their annual tour of inspection through the phosphate indus tries last week. Will Hall, white, was shot and killed in Barnwell county last week by a negro named Glover, who made good his es cape. Governor Tillman has been asked to take part in the Demo cratic campaign in West Vir ginia. This State is considered very doubtfi 1 and both sides are working hard to carry it. One night last week Alex Simpson went to his home in Anderson county, while under the influence of liquor, and at tempted to b mt his wife. The latter seized an axe and cut him severely on his head making several deep gashes. Policeman John McManus, of Heath Springs, Lancaster coun ty was killed on Tuesday of last week. He attempted to arrest three North Carolina wagoners, who were drunk and disorderly, when one of them killed him. Themurdertr and his friends fled, butweie afterwards cap tured. The Governor has forwarded a requisition to the Governor of Alabama for Alexander Hays who is serving a term in the Penitentiary of that State for some monor offence, but is want: ed in this State for a murder committed in Marion county in 1874. As soon as his term in the Alabama, penitentiary ex pires he will be brought to this State for trial. In the month of September 1891 the body of William Par- tin, a young white man, was found on a railroad track in Sumter. The train had run over the body but it was sus pected that the man had been murdered before the body was placed on the track. Nothing could be proven at the time and the matter was almost forgot ten. Last week, however, facts came to light which tend to show that the man had been murdered and the authorities are now making an investiga- Hu th« Tampering of tba One with the Other Affected MatrlmoajT It cannot bo doubted that the popular ity of matrimony baa materially de clined in recent years, and that a kind of general heeitancy aeeina to prerail re- *|iecting the negotiation of such alli ance*. There waa a time when the young people of the conntry hastened to pair themaelvea with birdlike eageruea-s and delight as Boon aa they were out of school, and society not only encouraged them, but practically commanded them to take that course. They were con sidered superfluous and burdensome un til they got married. The true work of life could uot begin with them, they were taught, so long as they remained single. It was their duty to become yoked without unnecessary delay, audit was a disgrace to miss reasonable oppor tunities in that relation. Bnt it is de cidedly different at the present day. The practice of wedlock is no longer im perative, nor does discredit attend the nnmated state, even when prolonged in to the thirties. There is as mnch ad vice given against marriage as in favor of it by the wise and experienced of both sexes, and the result is a steady de crease in the proportion of actual weddings to possible ones. The causes which have produced this marked change are not sufficiently def inite for satisfactory analysis. It is probably true that our extravagant style of living as compared with that of former times is one of the effective influences. The cost of supporting a wife and rais ing a family is much larger than it used to be, and this feature of the matter often gives pause on both sides. We have come to measure so many other thing* by money that matrimony has not escaped the rule. The young people are disinclined to start in a humble way and gradually improve their situation. They want all that their parents have without waning and striving for it. Many pro|x>sals are unquestionably de layed or rejected on this acconnt. Then it is well known that the new avenues of employment open to women have made them mom independent, and probably also more exacting as to the qualifications of husbands. It is nut nearly so common as it once was for girls to marry simply in order to secure a home and a living; they are able now to earn good wages ami to take their time abont assuming the duties of wives and mothers. We may safely believe, moreover, that the progress of women in education and iu social power has led them to look lees favorably upon the connubial condition by subordinating their hearts to their heads, so to speak And finally it cannot but be that the abundance of criticism to which the marriage system has been subjected by writers of pronounced vigor and skill has served to weaken it in the popular estimation, and to disparage the qnality of sacredness that is its highest claim to respect and honor. There is no reason as yet, however, to lament the prevailing tendency as a national misfortune. The amount of marrying is still large enough for all ordinary purposes, and it may be that lees rather than more of it would best promote the interests of society. Shell unions should be formed with some other object than that of merely propa gating the species. Tiiey involve the most serious obligations and responsi bilities of human life, and if people are learning to be slow and careful about making contracts of so much impor tance it is hardly a sign of decay or a threat of calamity.—St. Louis Globe- Democrat. A Quaint Old Austrian Custom. The quaint old Austrian custom of a bride being cast off, as it were, by her countrymen when she takes to herself a foreign husliand, was an interesting fea ture at the recent marriage of the Arch duchess Louise of Tuscany. The arch duchess entered the church followed by a long train of royal and noble Austrian ladies. They stood in a semicircle around her until the moment the bride groom placed the ring upon her finger; then they turned and left her, for she was no longer a countrywoman of theirs. For a moment the princess stood alone —unattended; then a number of Saxon ladies ranged themselves behind her— she had become a Saxon. At the marriage of Marie Antoinette this custom, which in her case was ob served only on the French frontier, had a pathetic denouement. When the Aus trian ladies attempted to leave the new Dauphiness of France she refused to be left, and as if foreseeing what her fate would be in her adopted country clung to them and entreated them to take her back to Austria again. Aetna! force had to be used to separate her from her attendants.—Paris Letter. Many Qneatlons but for Mirror*. It is doubtful whether men would gain as much time as women would by the loss of mirrors. Aside from the fact that they don't have the chance to spend so mnch time at their looking glasses as women do (if they did yon may be sure they would), it is likely that a man would have to stand as a kind of substi tute for the mirror in his wife's toilet. Most men, therefore, would he able to go down to the grave with the proad consciousness that they had answered the question, “Is my hat on straight?” 10,- 000,000 times in the conrse of a long and happy life instead of only 5,000,000 times, as they probably do now.—New York World. A Rare Old Globe. One of the most significant enrios In New York is a copper globe in the Lenox library. It is only inches in di ameter, bat it is believed to he the earliest globe to lay down the new dis coveries by Colnmbos. It dates back to the first decade of the Sixteenth cen tury. The little it show* of this hemi sphere is mostly wrong, and the few names wonld be recognized only by ex perts in matters geographical, bnt the globe is rightly esteemed one of the chief treasures of a rare collection.—New York Sun. A Youthful Sculptor. Julia Bracken, who has received the commission to execute the figure repre senting “Illinois Welcoming the Na tions,” is considered the best of all Sculptor Taft's assistants. She is but little more than twenty years of age. Potato rot is caused by a minute par asite, which is so small that a colony numbering 800 individuals can live in a ■pace smaller than a pin's bead. Richard Baxter, the great Pnritan preacher, was the son of a tenant fanner, and nntil nearly grown the future author did the work of a farm hand. If yon wish success in any society avoid the belle of it Thu will put you in favor with the other women—and eventually with the belle.

Speaking about the Washington eager- neas to get the encampment, it might be said that some have already modified their tastes in that Itehalf. “True,” re marked one sorrowful person, “we got the encampment, and 1 was as crazy to get it as any one. But when the chil dren were driven oat of their schools, when prices were doubled on grub and drinks and the hnbbnbof preparation was dinning in my ears I felt a good deal like one of old Jim Smiley's heirs. “Old Smiley died worth abont $#0,000, and undertook to dispose of it by w J U As usual his heirs got into a wrangle, and a lawsuit was the outcome. There came delay and dillydally. The law suit was continued term after term, ses sion after session, until everybody was exhansted. “ ‘Well, what’d they do down to cenrt today. Bill?' said one brother to another, who had jnst returned from a ten mile drive to the county seat to look after the litigation. “ 'Oh, they continued her agin,’ said the other in a sort of desperate despair. “ 'Bill,' said the first, sorrowfully shaking his head, ‘do yon know I'm get- tin that tired and weary with them de lays and continuances, 1 swow, I'm mighty near wishin sometimes that dad hadn't died.’”—Washington Cor.

A chart of the world is published, on which the submarine cables are indi cated, with the principal communicat ing land lines and the seacoast stations. Detailed maps are also given of the tele graphic accommodations in Central America and the West Indies, in eastern Europe and in the Mediterranean coun tries., The tables of cable rates include the Atlantic cables, Cuba, Bahama, Bermuda, African, Enropean, Asiatic and South American. It appears that it costs more to send messages to the West Indies than it does to places in Africa. All the important places in Africa are now reached by telegraph, and yon can sit in Gila Bend, A. T., and communicate with busi ness men at Asaab for $1.81 per word. If you want to reach anybody in Vene zuela from New York, it will coet $3.64 per word, and then the message must go by mail from (Guayaquil. The islands in the Pacific are now about the only places with which imme diate communication by telegraph can not be had.—Washington Letter. Mexican Excavations. The Mexican government has recently been making some excavations in the plaza of Tialtelolco, which have re sulted in uncovering some very interest ing remains of the ancient Aztecs. Three feet below the surface a white floor of cement was fonnd. Three feet farther down was another. Below that stepe of terrace work painted blue were uncovered, forming a low pyramid; be neath this were crypts, containing hu man bones and same relics. Among the latter were whistles of glazed pottery, a stone maskoid and a pottery stamp, in which appears the cross of Qnetzalcoatl. In another part of the excavations over 400 small idols or household gods were found, some representing the god dess of water and others the moon. One thonsand arrowheads of obsidian and serpentine were unearthed. Many ar ticles used in the game of ball were also excavated. A great many other interest ing relics of the ancient Nahautl civili zation were brought to light.—Boston Transcript For Sale.
