ROTATION IN OFFICE.
“I Have Hut one lamp by which my
feet are graded; and that is the lamp of
experience. I know of no way of judg¬
. the .. future . , , but . by . the ,, past, . said ..
mg
Patrick Henry the apostle of American
liberty. Words as true at the dawning
of the twentieth century as in the clos
ing years of the eighteenth. If only
men of experience could fathom the
depths of England’s policies with the
American colonies and see what snbmis
sion on their pert would bring,—“chains
and slavery,”—surely only men of expe¬
rience can forecast the exigencies of es
tabUsheA governments, and devise and
execute the modus operaudi of success at
home and abroad. Statesmen of long
experience, if incited by commendable
ambitions, are more valuable to the state
ami country at any time, ami especially
when great problems are to be solved,
and landmarks must be set, than youth,
1 however promising, or age without ex
; perience, however wise in lore or sub
i tile in theory. The- victor of the long
| and lmrdfought campaign commands the
I veneration of the men in the line, com
piling the submission of cabals and fac¬
Gom, 1111,1 enforcing obedience and res
j peet- from friend and foe. The legisla¬
tor, state or national, rendering the
greatest services to state or nation, the
people collectively and individually, is
usually tho veteran, whose tenure of
office has been the longest, and whose
knowledge of affairs is inevitably the
most extensive, the most useful and
available.
With pride, we of the South refer to
ante-bellum statesmen, and comparing
them to in n c.f ibis day, with a shadow
j nf regret, pronounce our sires incompar
able. But remember, voter, in the days
which were, many tilings were, done bet¬
ter than now. A congressman in those
blays, if hezmst and fairly efficient iu Ids
first t erm, was returned term after term,
until more experience better qualified
him to perform the duties of a national
councillor than any man, whose constit
nents allowed hut a term or two.
We believe that oursysteni of electing
state officials is harmful and iteruicions,
senate. Not a man will be returned to
the next who served ill the present sell
ate. True some of the num who made
some reputation in the bowse will go to
the senate, but this .will deprive the
counties sending those men to the senate
of their service in the house, compelling
the sending of a new man, young and
inexperienced, flighty and unsafe, may
j he, to the house, and certainly to a place
which his predecessor, generally speak
ing, could have filled hotter than he.
Not a great number, probably, will he
re-elected to the bouse who were there*
the last term, and certainly a great mu
j uy of them ought not to he returned.

PROFANITY.
Profane men have no moral right to
join the company of their fellow beings,
yet many of them assume that they
have, and always plunge into their com¬
pany.
We can’t blame'people who are iii tire
habit of picking their company to avoid
such foul-mouthed men, and in so doing
make a protest against the vulgar habit.
Taking the name of God in vain is sac
riligious and a violation of His law. On
the streets of our own city men are daily
in the habit of cursing—and without re¬
gard to our ladies and children. They
engage in telling their smutty yams in
the presence of our little hoys apparent
ly without knowing or caring what of
feet their fonl-moutlxs are having on
their young lives. It should he stopped.
A Runaway Marriage.
On Tuesday morning last the office of
Ordinay Page was the scene of a roman¬
tic runaway marriage. Mr. O. W. Tan¬
ner and Miss Neva Avant being the con¬
tracting parties. They entered the ordi¬
nary’s office and asked for a marriage
license, but before issuing them Judge
Page questioned them as to the young
lady’sage, as she only looked to be about
“sweet sixteen,” hut they both stated
that she was over eighteen and the li¬
cense were issued. Dr. T. L. Harris was
present and performed the ceremony for
them making them man and wife. We
wish them success through life and trust
their troubles will all be little ones.
Furnishing Liquor to Minors.
A well known young man of this
place has been indicted in the city
court for furnishing liquor to a number
of minors.
It appears that a few of the institute
hoys got thirsty a few days since, and
one of their number procured the
man to make an order for a little booze,
wliicli lie did. The stuff was fortli
coming, and it was not long before the

the stuff, and at once proceeded to
vestigate the origin of the jag. Asa
rt . S ult of his investigations the
man was indicted for furnishing the
booze to the boys, they being minors.
r p], e gentleman,’we learn, does not
deny ordering for one of the party of
boys a gallon of whiskey, hut claims
that he did it not knowing what was to
be done with the liquor, or who were
the parties who wanted it. He claims
that the boy for whom he ordered was
in the habit of drinking whiskey, and
j no objection would be interposed by his
parents, and that he did not do it with
j,ny intention of injuring any one.
I it is very unfortunate for all partit s
j ooncerued, but the law should bo eu
forced even in this particular case,
i much for an example as for any other
reason. Men should lie taught that
minors are not to he accommodated in
any such manner and led astray by
such influences.
