live on that pitiful sum. One ol
the J edges friends, a chttffy old fel
low who don’t aim to do anything
particular, but skribblc an'talk poli
tic jined the whisky rings and got
to doin’ so bad Congress bad to
raise ids salary to fifty thousand
to keep him out of the penelentiary.
tics and who I am shore lives on I tell you we shore ’null' poor pco-
lcssllmn two hundred a year, press- j pi® w l'° have to make every thing
cd this pint upon me with tears in | niter «>• nml should encourage
his eyes, aud moved me very much, i a ' r l' ideas in All is country. The
Bein’ anxious to console him, I j l®et that a man ain t man enough
never seen my wav elear to do it.
I like the Jedge, he is so polite an’
is gettin’ more so every day. But
I’ve hoaid his friends argyly and
argyfy, and they all have the same
three big pints to go on, and they
arc the things I want to write you
about, if I can jest manage to get
lo ’em. 1 don’t want to bn like the
Republican's medical correspon
dent when he writes for Crisp, take
such a long runnin’ start as to get
out of breath helore gettin’ to the than it was in time of the war; for
subject. So here goes for the three we are all poor more or less. As
ventured to suggest that if the
Jcdg could'lit live on the two thous
and a year, all lie lind to do was to
turn It over to a man that could.
But this seemed to make the matter
worse, for the broken-hearted fel
low wept bitterly and only replied
“alas! alas! Charley is too poor
even- to do that.” Here we weref
both overcome and if I co.ilil have
said any thing at all, I would have
swore in right tin n, for I like to
have went under, for it struck me
at the lime that the .ledg was cer
tainly in ail orftil dilemmy. But I
have rallied. Now Mr. Editor its I f i mve just read. The charges of which
a painful truth, 1ml. all of our poor j he complains have been made for weeks
men can't go to Congress; if they
could no dout they would all do It,
and there would’nt be enough left
at home to take care of the women
and children; it would be worse
to make a livin' at home ain’t no
reasou why we should send him to
Congress, and besides the .ledge's
own friends do hun great injustice
in makin’ sicli a pint as this. He
can make a livin' without an utils
if he will only try. And sooner or
later he will find that that was the
best plan after all. whatever may
be the result of the present unfor
tunate contest.

pints for puttin’Cook out and put-
eSTErES! tin’ Crisp in.
1. liotasliun in oills. They Kay
Cook lias been in ollls long enufl,
and therefore we oi l to semi him to
Congress no more, but send Crisp
in his place. Well, tins sounds
ry fair if if wasn't Ibr one thing,
and that is Crisp has been in olllco
jest as lung as Cook. If every oili
n' man in thodeestriek was mimin'
gin the Gincral, there might lie
sum sense in this argvment: hut it
WEST SIDE SQUARE, don't lit Crisp’s case at all, for lie’s
been livin'on public pnpever since
lie opened his political eyes, and
what’s more lie’s in ollis right now.
One great defect I’ve diskivered in
our sistem of guverment is, we aint
got ofllses cniid to go round. But
here's Crisp, lie wants two ollises
at a time, 01 rather he stands on a
different sortof rotation from what
I ever heard of before. Ilia ideal'
of roiashnn is to rotate out of one
oflls into another and fatter one.
Now see if history don’t bear mu
out. He was agin rotasbun when
Goode, bis friend and law toeelicr.
run; lie was agin rulnsliun when
ICibbce and Fort run an’ rerun.
But lie rotated out of the solisctcr-
sliip into tile judgsliip anil out of
the jedgsbip into the jedgship agin,
and now be wants lo rotate out or
the jedgship into congress, makin’
it a sure pint, it seems, lo get right
square into one oflls before lie gets
elear out of tothcr. Now don’t you
think the .ledge in tryln’ this time
to rotate ahead of the miisick'!
Don’t yon think lie ought to wait
till the term of one oflls goes out
before lie rotates into another 1 1
do.
2. Superiorly. They say Crisp is
a better man for Congress than
Cook, but they have never told me

to the Jed go’s not bein’ able to live
on two thousand a year, I suppose
they simply mean by this, that lie
could spend more if lie lind it, and
who could’nt? lie can live on it,
for he lias lived on it, and who
rich or poor lives any better than
.ledg (b;isp? Lawyer Fort they
tell me is willin’ to live on it or die
a tryin’. Rut may be this ain’t a
fair argument, lor Allen you know
would willingly sacrifice himsell
on the alter of most any olllee; for
say what you w ill, lie’s the noblest
patriot of them all—that is when
it comes- to sacrifices of that sort.
Now I’m sorry for ihe Jodg or any
other pool mail that can’t live on
two thousand u year, but if we re
lieve the Jcdg, this same two thous
and a year will be shoved on to
some other poor man, and who
knows who may be the victim.
The}* say Allen Fort has alt cad y
got it fixed with the Governor, so
far as the uppinUncut is concern
ed. That’s wliut I heard when
Crisp and Fort and Harper Rlack
come back from Atlanta tothcr day.
But yet it might light on Jo Ansley
who not only has a “large
with Idr full knowledge, and yet he waits
until the lust issue of the Weekly Repub
lican before the election, ho that there
e :n be no time for full reply and refuta
tion. He admits that he knew about the
unfair proceedings in Webster in time* to
stop it. if he wanted his adversary, as
he. calls Geo. Gook, to have u fair chance,
why did he not stop it? Ho knew it was
done in hia interest and he could have
stopped it with one word. Now, the
Taylor county election was had before
the convention was called and without
any reason except for the advantage of a
premature election in (looks absence.
But, strange lo say, the Judge don't even
allude to this in Idr card. Now, the Judge
knows that what is not ti nied in the
pleadings is admitted to he true, for I
have heard him say soon the bench.
Again, the Judge says that the last
charge is, that a distinguished member
of tho bar and himself have tunned a
combination, etc., and then denies this.
To what distinguished member of the
bar does ho refer? Has the Judge never
heard his name? If so, why suppress
that name ? One thing is ouly noticeable
the Judge don’t say he is not for that
distinguished member of tin* bar “Iccth
and too nail,” and that distinguished
member of the bar bus said (bat while
there was nc combination, etc., that its n
matter of common gratitude the Jwdgt
would suppoit him for tbo hurancy.
Judge, are you not for him? That's
the* question. Understandings between
politicians, I learn are alwov! laci*. so
that they can be denied. Now oiu. thing
is well known to tin* people thin distin
guished in cm bet of (lie bar has never
been known to turn the griudhton'* alto
gether for tho benefit of other people’s
axes. Judge, you have put youtsell on
the stand,* now come olit and say who Is
iidgeship. Are you

how they found it out. Hook when j no tlmt the great men of the nation
lie was a young man had more re-! can get their big salaries and rotate
putation at the bar than Frispever! at will and rise with the growth of
had, lor Crisp had yery little you j their eapasity for spetidin’ money
know till he got on the beuch. | Why, Mr. Kditor, to tell you the
lie’s done well there because there j honest truth, two thousand dollars
his talent lies, its strange he and I tl year runs my whole settlement,
his friends don’t see it. Now so | (i'g true we don’t have pie every

an awful calamity this would be!
YVby sacrifice him just to save !
Crisp? I*in nojudg of law or of
lawyers, but I’ll say this much in
all seriousness; when it comes to in
tegrity, to true an unselfish man
hood, Jo Ansley is Ins superior.
But to go back to the subject. Now
poor men that can live on two
thousand a year or less, they de
serve no pity, no simpathy, no of-
lis, no help of any sort. Let them
go to work anti make a livin’ or
starve, who cares which, so there’s

TI1K WEDITUR CONVENTION.
PhKhto.x, Ol, July 23, 1882.
Mu. Eurroit: -In your paper of the 14ih
is a communication signed '‘Subscriber''
and purporting to bo from a citizen of
this (Webster) county, in which bo does
the Exceutivo Committee a gross injus
tice, and being a member of the Commit
tee at that lime, and as be specially men
tions my nanio in a disreputable way in

citizens ol Webster U-nunty lor tho pur
pose of selecting delegates to tho Gnbei-
nalorial and Congressional Conventions,
and not being w illing 11 remain the silent
victim offnUe rcprcHentatioM, I give the
facts as to how the tiiek. as “.Subscriber”
charges, was worked. Tho Executive
Committee met in Preston on the 22d day
of June ami called a meeting of the citi
zens of Webster County on the 4th of July
for the purpose of selecting delegates to
both tho Gubernatorial and Congression
al Conventions, and us Secretary of the
Committee I sent a notice to both the

ting the matter. No yon nee it could nor
wont for publicity. Now this woo tb#.
way the trick woo worked. -
II in true that Jmlgc Crisp came over
to Preston on Thursday, Ihe 2»lh ol
June, hut if lie conro over for the purpose
of seeiog me ho did not let it he known,
and ua to the insinuation of Judge Criap
and myself working a trick whereby the
meeting was called at tbe time it was, I
bare Ibis to say, that I am not in the
habit of committing trickery or lying in
the exercise of my political preferences,
and I have further to lay that the notice
of the call of the moeling woe received
by the Sumter Republican and Airemcrs
Rkcoudrii on Wednesday. Judge Crisp*,
visit to Preston was the day following.
Aud now. Mr. Editor, yon muat have
known, or certainly you knew nfter read
ing the communication of ‘‘Subscriber,"
or after it bad been called to yoar at
tention, that Jndge Orisp'a visit was tbe
Jay after you had reoeivnd notioe of the
call of the meeting for publication, and
it jiialinu to tlie committee you might
have bo staled. I now dismiss this sub
ject from further consideration. I am
never desirona of a political controversy
and more especially one like this, when
both Genernl Cook and Judge Orlop are
good men and my friends: bid alii) I have
my preference and shall exercise it, re
gardless of "Subscriber," who I under
stand is not a citizen of Webster oonnty.

A government can create no

pede its being created by the in
dustry nnd thrift of those over
whom it rules; it is they, not tbe
rulers, that produce It. Tito rulers,
therefore, enn give nothing to one
set of men except what they take
from another. And all experience
allows tlmt when a government en
deavors to improve the condition
of one class oi its snhjects by
arbltr ril.v giving to them what be
longs to others, it not only fails to
confer any permanent licnelit on
those who are the object of its
