Slbnti Wb SarUngton Jto. n ^ ^ WADOY THOMPSON, Editor. Tharsday, Sept. 21, 1893. OUR NEXT JUDGE. The Columbia JowfVKf/, prob ably thinking that political prognostications are always in order, furnished its readers on Monday last with a long! article concerning the elec-; tion of Judges which will take j place at the coming session of the Legislature. It says “the people of the eastern part of the State, it is claimed, want Mr. Townsend instead of Judge Hudson.” The Mr. Townsend referred to is the present At torney General, a resident of Union, in the Seventh Circuit. He must not be confounded with the ex-Judge Townsend of Radi cal days, who is also now a pro minent "reformer.” The people of the eastern part of the State, who are said to want Judge Hudson displaced, are, of course, the Tillmanites. What the Journal says may all be very true, but we have yet to see a single reason why Judge Hudson should be dis placed. In legal learning he certainly has no superior in South Carolina, in honesty he is above reproach aud he is just as courageous as he is learned and honest. Sonu^of his decisions have not pleased the Tillman faction, but surely the Tillman ites will not acknowledge that they want Judges who will in terprete the law for partisan advantages rather than accord ing to what is right. The Gov ernor has said that Judge Hudson's official head must drop because of some of his de cisions, but we trust that tne majority of his followers do not agree with him. But if the Judge must go, why seek his successor in an other Circuit? This is certainly a departure from precedent. Wdl the Tillmanites thus admit t that they have no lawyers in this Circuit competent to hold the position? If they do, they will publish to the world their own weakness. Now, we have no particular objection to Mr. Townsend; he is among the best of Tillman’s “coat-tail swing ers,” but Union is a long way off to go to get a J udge for this Circuit. The Journal further states that Mr. Townsend may have Judge Wallace’s position if he wants it and in this case the Judgeship in our Circuit will go to either Col. Watts, of Lau- . rens (i pr Mr. Jordan, of Aiken. Pray tell us contemporary, what is the matter with the Tillmanite lawyers in the Cir cuit? Is it is not rather hard on them that they should be over looked? It is poor reward, truly, for being fathiful to the “reformers.” The Legislature may search the State over and it will be unable to find the man who will make an abler and more up right Judge than the one who now presides over this Circuit. The greater will the loss, there fore, be to South Carolina should the view so often expres sed by the Governor, “Hudson must go,” be put into effect by the Legislature. A REMEDY FOR HARD TIMES. The present hard times are not so much due to the scarcity of money as they are to the fact that the people ara hoarding up what they have. This is bad policy for it withdraws a large amount of money from circula tion and business is proportion ately contracted. If the money which is now being held by the people would be put to profit able use the times would im mediately become easier; cir culation would increase, busi ness would be better and debts could be more promptly paid. Therefore, put your money out, whether it be by depositing in the banks (which is a safe and profitable plan) or by meet ing your obligations. It is a *ell known fact that one dollar, by passing from hand to hand, will pay an unlimited number of debts, making everybody better off. THE form NEWS. (Continual fron \st Page.) nEw providence. The people around Ashland lost much of their crops by the trees on new land But they have fine crops in spite of this. Messrs J. L. Coker & Co. have finished repairing the Mdutosh mill and gin.

It was found impossible to ob tain a majority of the free hold voters of the town, so A. R.
