The City National Bank of
Sumter contemplates the erection
of a seven story "sky scraper''
in the near future. The plucky
little "Gamecock City" has the
right name.
Congressman Ellerbe has introduced
a hill in the National House
of Representatives providing for
one hundred thousand dollar public
buildings at Marion and Dillon, respectively.
Wonder when Kingstree's
turn will come?
New year swear-offs usually
last till the newness wears off.
There are some who will continue
to swear off, while others
will continue to swear on. The
best course to pursue is to obey
the Scriptural injunction and
"swear not at all."

His pseudonym, like that of
"Fighting Joe" Hooker, seems to
have been rather ironic, as we have
never heard of any great feats of
valor he performed, save such as he
himself set forth in his magazine
articles, where he glorified himself
into a veritable Hercules, Hector,
Achilles and some others combined
into one puissant personage.
John J. Jones, the slayer of
Abe Pearlstine of Branchville
more than a year ago, has been
refused a new trial by the State
supreme court, and will have to
serve his sentence of ten years
and thirty days in the State
penitentiary, in the event our
merciful and tender-hearted Governor
does not see fit for him
to go free.
There are five Judges to l>e
elected at the next session of
Legislature, two circuit and three
supreme court Judges. Up to
this time there have been men
tioned, so far as we have seen,
only about a score of candidates
for the five positions, and a
remarkable feature of it is that
out of the multitude of aspirants
for these ' high and honorable
places, you could count on your
_ fingers all the candidates who
are known to fame outside their
own little bailiwicks.
Judge It C Watts 1 iiiS beeni

iT B rrascr of Sumter l?y a v<>te
(of St) to "? ">. For nearly a se?ire
of years Judge Watts lias been
Circuit Judge and he has gained
the reputation of being able, fearless
and incorruptible. Without
any intention of reflecting on his
opponent, we lielieve that the
General Assembly did the right
thing in promoting the faithful
servant. Judge Watts, to the Supreme
bench.
Governor Blease tells the General
Assembly that he intends to repeat
his performance of last year in piling
up his messages upon them.

mendatiqn that white teachers
should l>e luirred from teaching in
negro schools. Such a law would
l>e better for both races and, if it
be constitutional, we hope it will
i l?e enacted. The other recommendations
of the Governor are
insipid, vapid and?some of them
?absurd. Maybe His Excellency
is saving his heavy ordnance till
the session warms up.
Mr Bass Goes to Florida.
It was with profound regret that
we heard last week that W L
I Bass, Esq., determined to leave Lake
, City to go to South Florida, where
he and his family will make their
j future home. While we have notj
had an opportunity to discuss the
matter with him, we understand
that the main reason for Mr Bass's
leaving this State is on account of
his wife's health, who, having been
an invalid for years, it is hoped
that the mild, genial climate of
South Florida may conduce toward
her restoration to health, or, at
least, improve her condition.
It would be superfluous to say
that we regret the departure of Mr
Bass. For more than ten years he
has been our correspondent at Lake
City,and we say, in simple justice to
him, that we know of no better or
more loyal correspondent for any
weekly newspaper in the State.
Personally we have always held our
friend in high esteem, and, without
knowing his plans, we hope he has
chosen wisely, that his lines may
fall in pleasant places and that he
may live as long as he likes and
meantime have everything that he
likes.
In Re Henry Davis.
Editor County Record:?
I was glad to see your editorial
article in issue of 4th inst in reference
to action of our delegation regarding
the parole of one Henry
Davis. Had seen your article of
28th ult and intended writing you
? * ? * '? ~ ?? f LA moffnr
stating my pusiuuu in mc uia^i.
Upon receipt of Mr Simpkins' letter
and petition, I wrote several of the
prominent citizens of Salters asking
for information as to the sentiment
of the community in regard to the
pardon or parole of Davis. They
one and all were bitterly opposed to
it, declaring that it would be an
outrage on any community to release
such a dangerous criminal
among them. After receiving this
information?and also from my own
knowledge of the killing?I wrote
Mr Simpkins that the granting of
this pardon or parole would be a
great injustice and also enclosed him
answers to my inquiry.
Your inquiry is very much to the
point?we, too, would like to know
what makes an Edgefield lawyer
take such an active interest in a
Williamsburg murderer who, if he
had gotten his deserts, would have
been hung?
Yours truly,
J C Graham.
