Judge Earle was under cross tire at Darlington and came out of the fray untouched. There has been a good deal of conjecture how the Judge would answer the questions recently asked in the editorial columns of The DabmnoTon News, and inspired, as subsequent events proved, by Col. .1. J. Darguu, a hitter personal and political enemy of Judge Earle's. Judge Earle answered each and all fearlessly and satisfactorily and instead of injuring him, the questions and answers have made him stronger in the estimation of the people. He did not try to dodge or evade any of them, but answered each as it was asked, fearlessly and honestly. As we have said before, Judge Earle may not and probably will not be elect ed ^United States Senator, but he will leave the campaign stronger than he entered it and more beloved and re spected by the people of his State.— Spartanburg Herald. The editor ot the Herald is mistaken or does not recall the facts in connection with Judge Earle’s career. He answered only one of the questions direct ly and that was the first. The others he evaded—aud the editor of the Herald would be compelled to admit the evasion if he would only read the ans wers over carefully and quietly analyze them. It is perfectly absurd to talk about Judge Earles answering such questions satifactorily, and, if the editor of the Herald does not recognize the absurdity, it is useless to try to point it out to him by a long explanation of the facts. Col. John C. Haskell, in a let ter to Sunday’s State, says that he advised the Richmond and Danville R. R, Co. to employ John Gary Evans in some ca pacity in order to keep him quiet in the Legislature. Therail- road then not only elected him as a director of one of their branch roads, but also employed as counsel his brother of Edgefield, and uncle of Augusta. While it is not to Col. Haskell’s credit that he advised the Richmond & Danville to bribe John Gary Evans, his statement is addition al evidence to the vast amount, which has already accumulated of the utter degredation of this human being, who is now going about the State trying to lift himself into the U. S. Senate by sheer audacity and the as sistance of Ben Tillman’s coat tails. The manner in which some of the newspapers of South Car olina defend Judge Earle for striking John Gary Evans, is monstrous. Of course the vul gar, contemptible piece of hu manity, who goes by the name of John Gary Evans, merits only the scorn of ail honest peo pie—but when newspapers say that Judge Earle is justified in striking this thing cr any othei thing in human form, unless at tacked, they are treading on dangerous ground. They seem to forget that a Judge violates his oath when he engages in a fisiicuff, except in cases of self- defence, to say nothing of the violation of the law. Editor, Darlington News: In your last issue I note what you say in regard to the ques tions and answers from New York Dost in favor single gold standard. Any intelligent advocate of free coinage of silver and gold knows of many answers to the Post controverting any asser tion. The Post’s questions are old chesnuts. We want a change, we had rather have our money slightly depreciating, than the reverse— the good times from 1865 to ’73 —we want again. The single gold standard is for the rich, why do you advo cate it, being a poor man? no offence meant. Your interest is with the silver men. Study this great question, read Congressman Sibley’s great speech in called session 53rd Congress. In that speech will be found documentary evidence which completely answers any argument against silver. Can't you publish the clip pings enclosed along with this? they will interest your silver readers and instruct the gold men. Yours Truly, J. M. Waepill. Atlanta, Ga. The following is one of the clippings—the other is too long for publication. The Courier Journal in 1886. Editor Constitution: In its daily issue of August 10, 1886, the Louisville Courier-Journal lays down the following pro- positions- “1. That the demonetization of silver, which has prevailed for some years up to this writ ing, both in the United States and Europe, has had the effect of advancing the value of gold about 40 per cent. “2. That this has been accom plished by depressing the value of all other property to that ex tent. “3. That about 40 per cent of the property and producing re sources of the people have thus been transferred to a compara tively small class of men whose stock in trade is gold invest ments. “4. That in the exact propor tion as gold has risen the bur den of debt and taxation has increased, and that in proport ion as property and labor have declined the capacity of the peo pie to pay their debts and taxes has diminished. “5. That the silver discount is creating a bonus of more than 30 per cent in favor of the farm productions of India and Asia, which to that extent cheapens the wheat, cotton and various other productions of the United States. “6. That these lamentable conditions have been produced by anti silver legislation. “7. That they can be undone and prosperity r(stored by pro silver legislation.” If any newspaper in New York or Boston or Chicago or Philadelphia or St. Louis or Cin cinnati or New Orleans can sue cessfully controvert either of these propositions, it will ren der the public valuable service by doing so at once. If they cann >t controvert either of these propositions they are obviously conniving at a gigantic fraud and wrong which cannot co-exist with any de gree of prosperity. Reader.

Philips delivered a fine lecture on the good of Sun day Schools, last Sunday, at High flill. Some of our young folks at tended a moonlight picnic at Midway the 24th, and report a pleasant time.

Curing tobacco is the order of the day and night in this sec tion. A series of meetings will com mence at Antioch on the first Sunday in August. Mr. Willie M. Byrd, of Peach land N. C., formerly of Doves- ville, accompanied by Mr. D A. Maness of the same place, is visiting friends and relatives at Antioch. The first planting of cotton seed in the colonies was in the Carolinas in the year 1621, when seeds were planted as an experi ment in a garden. Winthrop says that in 1643 “men fell to the manufacture of cotton whereof we have great stores from Barbados.” In 1736 it was cultivated in the gardens along Chesapeake Bay, especially in the vicinity of Baltimore, and at the opening of the Revolution it was a garden plant in New Jersey and New York; but its real value seems to have been almost unknown to the planters up to about 110 years ago.—67 Louis Republic.

If they get together again the friends of both sides . should see that they fight to a finish.
