: WEDNESDAY "NOVEMBER 2. Our State ??ontemporaries. ^Gentility in Georgia. .Barnwell People. Gov. .Richardsoo, of this State, went to the At lao ta Es po sit ion bj special in? vitation of its managers. As the Chief . Executive of this State, and a gentle? man in the fallest sense of the term, it mas, expected that he would receive that distinguished consideration to which his exalted position and personal worth and accomplishments entitled him. He would nave dene so anywhere except in Georgi*. A Carolina- gentleman, aa eye wit? ness, has given BS a description of one incident which illustrates the Georgian manners, or rather lack of manners. Perhaps there were others of parallel character. It was this: Gen. P. M. B. Young, commander in chief of the military parade and procession, sent to .Governor Richardson for bis ose, on that occasionna great, gawky, big headed sorrel colt, not even bridle wise, with not as moen life as a country cow, worth fifty dollars and equipped with a ttwo dollar saddle and a twenty-five cent bridle. Of course the mount .was de? clined, a Barnwell gentleman furnished Gov. Richardson a respectable steed and the colt, saddle and bridle were return? ed to the Kim ball House, a guest of ?he .Crate City. tt is perhaps ody just to say that the ?Georgians did as they did only because tthey did not know any better, but we .can safely say that if Gov. Gordon ever -comes to Colombia, either by invitation .or of his own motion, he will be treated as a gentleman, and, as a relief from -companionship with his barbarian con? stituents, we now, on behalf of this State, ask him to come to Columbia buring our State Fair. It might be well for him to bring along some of the younger All?ntese to learn something of civilization and of the courtesies that obtain among gentlemen. Sherman is dead. On Sunday last be departed ^his life. Peace to his j -ashes. His faithful service in the army of the United States long since expired, for when the war ended he laid aside the bloody shirt and other habiliments of strife and sought to rebuild the waste places that he had diligently helped to despoil with fire and sword and ma? rauding rough riders. Since February 1865 he had lived with Mr. Simon "Brown, and when the weight of years enfeebled him too much for active life "he was placed on the retired list, and for nearly four years he has drawn his pension of oats and hay and corn, three times a day, from thc cribs of his mas- j "ter. Good judges say that be was about 35 years old. Romance in Seal Life. Capt. John Bonner, of Ellenton, won his title in^he Confederate war.v Since its close he has accumulated a handsome fortune. His brother Coady wore the blue and since peace came unmerciful disaster has followed bim with unchang? ing steps. Last week, after thirty years of separation, the brothers met ia Columbia, and henceforth Goody's home is to be in thc household of Lis prosperous brother. Courts-Laws Widen Need Modifi? cation. Abbeville Press and Banner. The last Term of the Criminal Court at Abbeville furnishes one more proof that oar laws need modification, or else the salaries of our Judges should come j down. At the Term of the Court there were absolutely no cases, which, we think, deserved the attention of a Judge and Solicitor whose salaries are ?3,500 and $1,680 a year. To our mind, nothing could be more absurd than a ?3,500 /??ge. a $1 600 Solicitor, with the Sheriff, the .Clerk of the Court, and j twelve respectable gentlemen, repre,- j * .-senting every quarter of the county, j sitting in solemn form to try a negro i * charged with stealing 75 cents worth of ? ri chickens-and yet such a case was j a trough t into Court. ? Another case was thzt j&f a ?negro |. ?barged with stealing two pigs, the j \ ?aloe of which was alleged to be ?3 t ?each.* The negro bas lain in jail for ( months. He has been tried twice, oe- . -ending a good part of the day each iime, and the jury in each /instance j di?ed to agree on a verdict. The negro j i is still in jail, and by the time he Fill jg t>e tried again, and perhaps then ac- j,. quitted, he will have been fed some j ; fourteen months at 30 cents a day- j t board bill aloue costing the innocent tax i payers of Abbeville county ever ?100 ! r besides the ?ac of the Court, the pay I ? 6? jurors, witnesses and constables-to ; ! ?sy nothing of the committing trial jus- J lice's costs. j : The recital might be continued to the ! " ?sd. They are aU of miner importance, j What we toean to say is. last either i the salary of the Judge ought to be re- j , doced to $1.000 a year, or -eise the dig- j p Bity and respectability cf the uS?ce j should not be degraded by the trial of j such cases. If th re is a trial justice io j i Abbeville county who couldn't try a|: chicken thief, he ought to be deprived j : of his o?ce. i f -h Once a ?fudge, Always a u udge. \\ Abbeville Press and Banner:. j ; We yield everything in personal i c respect to our houored Judges whose i distinguished services and useful lives ? r bave reflected lustre not only on them- i f selves but on their fellow citizens, j t and on South Carolina, but wc yield ? [ nothi?g to the sentiment which would \ c foster that cid exploded idea, that a j r Judge should hold his office as long as j t be has sujScieor vitality to permit, him j to be hauled on ?he cars from one place ! t to another. j c No man has greater respect and per- I i ponai friendship for oar distinguished j I Judges than bas the Press and Pxznucr. j i bot we think the publie welfare de- ? t mands the services of Judges ^ who pos- j t ?ess not only the requisite ability and i i the necessary high integrity, but who i r possess also the physical power to per- ? i form the laborious duties devolving on | -, those who hold that high and respensi- j c ble position. !1 Two of the eight Circuit Judges j i have been recently unable to discharge j their duties and the business of the j i Courts has been suspenden from day ; 1 to day, while jurors, witnesses, and ? t every other branch of the Court have j t been delayed at great expense to tho j1 Tbe'Sopreme Ccvrt- ?Uh its oncer* ; * tata decisions, needs reconstruction, t There is BO reason why the eight Cir- ; s cuit Judges should not, as in olden times, be a part of the Supreme Court, and there is no good reason, so far as we know, why the .members of the Supreme Bench should not assist the .Circuit Bench, as they did in former times. If our Legislature could divest itself of that old prejudice in favor of keep? ing a Judge in office forever, younger men with mental ability, with legal at? tainments, and with physical power could be had to discharge the du&ies of that office. State Pensions for Confederates. Newberry Sews and Herald. The Marion Star says that an effort -will probably bc made at the next Leg? islature to have a bill passed pensioning all Confederate soldiers who were maim? ed or disabled in the late war. The S?ar truly says that the maimed and wounded soldiers returning home twen? ty-three years penniless have all these long years fought the battle of life man? fully, and none are seen seeking aims, but on the contrary as a rule lead in all successful vocations, and therefore does not think there is any demand on the part of the old Confederate heroes for any such legislation. We agree with the Star on the subject of pensions in general where it says : 'As to pensions generally it might be urged that they are the subjects of more abuse than use. To one deserving man who secures a pension, there are about a half dozen frauds who manage to foist themselves on the honest tax pay? ers, as" instanced by the great army" of suttlers, campfollowers. &c., who now preyon the National Government and consume an appropriation in amount more than sufficient to sustaio the im? mense standing army that Prance or Germany is required to keep in constant readiness.' We have heard nothing of such an effort as the Star mentions beiog made | to the Legislature, and we do not think there will be any demaod for such leg? islation. As the Star*$&ys the survi? vors* associations are being formed all over the State aud in this way if there are any needy cases they wril receive attention. "The Bonds" Issued. Camden Journal. Oct. 27. At the meeting of the Board of County Commissioners on last Friday they were called upon by a representa? tive of the C. C. & C R. R., and again asked to issue ?10(1,000 of the county bonds and turn them over to the com? pany-$50,000 to the company and the other 4?50,O00 to bs deposited with the Boston Safe Deposit Company until the balance of the road in this county beyond where the rails have already been laid is completed. The Board issued and turned over $50.000, but refused to issue the other ?50,000 until the road bed was completed and ready for the rails. Steamboat for the "Wateree. hamden Journal. We learned from a gentleman on Monday that an effort was being made K> place a steamer on the Wateres river :o ply between Camden and George :own or Charleston. It is proposed to mm a stock company and do the busi? ness right. The river will now (according to the report cf the United States engineer) jermit a boat drawing four feet of water. ;o run up to Camden at any time. It is thought that the traffic of, the West >ide will of itself pay the expenses of :?ie line, and the through traffic to'Cam Jen by reason of a reduced rate of freight will give .a fcandscme prout on ;he investment. The Courts having decided that rail .oads must remove the obstructions in erposed by them to navigation and iraw spans in their bridges, is an item br the steamboat men, as it gives them tn uninterrupted mu from either charleston or Georgetown to Camden. The lumber business of itself, which touid be developed if easy transportation vere afforded, would enable the boat to >ay expenses and besides open up an mmense field fer labor that i? now idle. There is enough oak, cypress, maple, ?sh, walnut and hickory in the Wateree wamp to keep hundreds of hands em >loyed for generations to come in get? ing it out, and there is big pay for all he wood of this character that can be lelivercd in the market. It is not ouched now because there is no trans >ortation for it. Theo again, the openings for other ? > ranches cf business that would ncces ;ari!y follow iu the wake of the devel >prneai of the Kimber interest would be I reny great, and thus hundreds and housands of men who now can scarcely nake a living-(no matter how hard they nay work) would find profitable and teady employment. For the sake of he.country and our whole people, we rust that, these gentlemen will succeed a meir enterprise IVilliimslrurg Herald. Row true it is that 'Many a shafv :it random sent :?::d? muk the archer little meant !" in saying what we did two weeks tgo about the new county agitation, we iud no desire nor intention of ?uterfer- | og hi the wordy war that has been and j s raging over thc subject ia Sumter :ouuty. But what was said about Sfsbop viii e's new county scheme wes ike 'a dig in the ribs' to the J?isboo rille Enterprise, and it makes an ani? mated effort at a as worths: us. The Enterprise says we made *a ter- j ibis blander' ia ascribing the agitation . or the new county to the deidre of thc ? own to become a county seat. It may ; ?ave been a 'Munder,' but the 'terrible- j dement in it. is as bard to lind as thvj j oason in fae arguments advanced by ? he Eider prise, io vor of a new county j Sometimes men have 'b?uudered' on the j ruth. Oar cen tem poi ary says : 'We ? leny that lae move up Lore is for the j uterest of any town faction or *<?<".\;y:ij u this the Enterprise has blundered j uto the fact? o? the case, the 'move' i> : lot for but against t^e 'iaie:-:.'of the own faction ?r section,' if by 'int-jr. st' : s meant progress ard Prosperity We i .eadiiy grant tl;:?t 'ir. is a cuesti?n : ?nether Bi.^bopville v.iii be brueS.U'd ! it ali by the formatof tho new : joanty, and i a eli ne to Lt-! : eve thc cues- j ion can only be truly answered in the ; je<rative. l^ut we are not sufficiently interested n the 'move up there' to peek to pro- ; ong the dispute over it. What we had o say was directed against changing ; be constitutional proviso requiring at ] east 625 square miles for the forma- ? ion of a new county. Our proposition j vic, that one county government in a . ervitory of this extent would be amp'.y j ufScicS;- for tbe governmental needs of ; its people. Io the reply of the Enter \prisef wherein .his reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff/ there is nothing that can by utmost courtesy be considered an argu? ment against this proposition. Williams? burg has some 1200 square miles, and its one government is amply sufficient for the needs of its people in this line. The Enterprise objects to the view that increase in the number of coiinty governments entails increased taxation. It cannot see that money is required to pay officers' salaries, build courthouses, and run the machinery of such govern ment. It finds only ODe officer, the school commissioner, receiving a salary, j the others being paid fees and mileage.'' The Enterprise ought to know that the 'fees and mileage' come out of the tax payers' pockets, and are in the nature of salary to every officer receiving them. In some counties~otfaer officers than the school commissioner receive a stated stipend. In 'Georgetown the clerk of court receives a stated salary. ? county auditor an<l county treasurer are necessary to the county, and will not live on air and the honor of office only ; they must be paid for services ; ; and whence comes the money ? There may be long division until *iees' will not pay the 'officer,' and 'salary' in the Bishopville sense must be paid. Sorry Herald. We cannot understand the propri? ety of appointing the execution of cap? ital punishment on Friday. It amounts, in our opinion, to a desecration of the day. Is it the design of the appoint? ing power to associate all legal exeou-; tions of the death penalty with the Crucifixion so as to keep that event prominent before the .people ? The orig? inators of the custom were not very careful to make religious acts or cere? monies a prominent feature ot their public functions. Our Blessed Savior was numbered with the transgressors, and it appears to be the determination cf a majority of our Judges to continue the unholy association by ordering all capital executions of the law on that, day. It might contribute to the promo? tion of morality and religious interests of the people to abandon the custom and thus destroy the supposed associa? tion. "Cofteion Prece. We are pleased to state that Senator Hampton will be invited to preside at the meeting of the old Farmers' Coun? cil, to be held during the State Fair. Thj? is an excellent idea. All bis life Seoator Hampton has been identified with agricultural io te rests. As presi? ding officer of the Old Farmers' Coun? cil he will be the right man in the right place, and h? will, we hope, accept the invitation of the Fair authorities. All Men Editors. The man Who Would A.c7cnoicledge that He Could not Run a Newspaper Not Yet Discovered. (''Hieronjmous Crank" in Memphis Times.) I have never yet discovered the man who would acknowledge any? thing else-, he might confess that he had mistaken his calling in becoming ? a minister ; he might say that he was never built for a lawyer, or that med- , icine was not to his taste; he might own up that h? could not run a saw milt, a locomotive, a school, a hotel, a steamboat or a saloon ; but nevei admit that he could not make a news paper a howling success. I discovered this psychological fact several years ago when a friend of j mine took a trip to Europe and ask- j ed -ree to ron his paper for him while j' lie was away. Now, if there was any one thing that I though^ I could do then, it was to conduct a newspaper : so I promptly acceded to his request and was installed an editor. I determined in tins first - place that I would sound publie sen? timent; and find cut accurately what my readers wanted. Here are a few of their opinions i 'Your editorials are too long*. Peo- g pie don't read anything longer than fifteen lines nowadays. They believe j j? in paragraphs.' 'Why don't you give us seme edi- C torials. Those short comments are ? not worth leading. They give'us no ?J idea of a subject.4 'You ought to give more personal and society news. Surely the move? ments of respectable people are.of much more importance than the re? cords of the police court.' .What makes you fill your paper with all this slush ? No one cares to read that kind of stuff.' *1 can't see why you fill your paper with so much trival iocal news when so many important events are taking place elsewhere.' 'For goodness sake give us a rest on the loreign news. Nobody here cares what the royal idiots are doing in England.' ' Why don't you cater more to the ladies't They are the greatest news? paper readers and it seems to me j you slight them entirely,' 'Look here ! You're making a mis? take in publishing a woman's paper. Ii' you expect to succeed, you will have to put something stronger io it.' 'As soon as you quit publishing this infernal base ball news you can renew my subscription.' 'What's the matter with your paper now '( It h;ts rio bast; bali news in it That's thc only department 1 read, and j if 3rot: can't give us more than you do. why. you can 6top my paper.' 'You could greatly improve your | paper by publishing articles of the . g best humorists occasionally.' ? T 'i can't understand why you stuff i -L your col ii m us with the alleged humor j c ol Bill Nyc, Bob Burdett o and the j 4 funny papers. No QUO wari ts to road that kind of stuff.' 'Wei!, 1 see you are publishing a l red h<?t prohibition paper now. You will make a great many enemies by embracing thal folly.' * ;I hoar a good many complaints among prohibitionist of the Juke- j wa: a of tho paper. They say j that von have frone back on thc C?UST?.' ' 'Ti; TO is one thing lacking in your i paper. You aro u<>t spicy and per- ! sonai enough. People want person- I O l I allies now a-days. They want to be > shook ??.).' 'Von ought not io indulge so much j ?:\ personalties. Maintain a judicial ! time, and avoid anything like heat op malice. ' .ii ?.isc paper had more sporting news in it and fewer religious notes, it would be more popular.' 'Keljicious people complain a great j deal about yon tilling your paper j with sporting news, and neglecting j tho afiairs of thc chinch.' Such was the advice I got. It waa plain that in order to satisfy every? body I had to double the size of the paper or discontinue its publication entirely. I concluded to adopt the advice in sections. I became by turns rapturously religious, and sublimely skeptical. I wrote like a literateur one week, and like the cor? respondent of a sporting journal the next. I constructed ponderous arti? cles on tho tariff and as an offset penetrated the giddy of the giddiee and dashed up an editorial on society. I wrote earnestly about base ball and developed an easy cow-boy style in my literary critiques. I noticed every local plank walk that had been laid and every watermelon lawn party that had been given one week ; and the next I wrote about the early ex? termination of Europe. I gave my views about agriculture in a wajr that infatuated the entire Granger element. I wrote up a public -official in a judi? cial way, and no one paid any atten? tion to it. I denounced another offi? cial in a lurid, red-headed, style, and contracted a serious case of doctoras bill on account of it. When I had been an editor for six weeks I became aware of the fact ihat if the owner of the paper did aot return soon he would find noth? ing of his paper left except the mort? gage on the type and press.
