THOSE BONDS AGAIN
ErIDouglass Repiles to Mr EIot .
Mr. Editor: I observe t bat Mr. T. K.
Elliott in his communication to your
paper, published in the last issue says,
that if the proposed issue of bonds to
aid in the ;building of the Winnsboro
and Camden Railroad be illegal, voters
need have no hesitation in voting for
their Issue. It certainly would be in
consistent for those who believe such
Issue of bonds to be illegal to vote for
their issue for the purpose proposed,
and it would not be commendable
from art ethical point of view. My
legal opinion is that there is no law
authorizing the town council even to
order a:s election for the citizens Or
legal voters to vote upon the proposed
issue of bonds to aid in the building
and equipment of a railroad. The
town council being limited in its juris
diction Is bound to inquire into its
power and authority to order such an
elcetion, before taking any action in
the mater. Lawyers serve a very
useful purpose besides conducting
litigeion for their clients, and good
business men will seek their counsel
and inquire into the law touching any
matter of importance in their business
before they go into it, however ener
getic they may be, inithe execution of
business enterprises. My friend and
those who advocate the proposed is
sue of bonds, may indulge the hope
that, though such bonds may be il
legal and unauthorized in law, the
legslature may by a subsequent Act,
give them life and render them valid.
But the fraimersof the constitution of
1895, have, In my opinion, effectually
barred the way to any such legislation.
In Section 30. Article III, of the con
stitution of 1895, it is provided: "The
General Assembly sball never * *
* * - authorize payment or part
payment of any claim under any con
tract not authorized by law."
It is further ;provided in Section 34
of the same Article: "The General
Assembly sha!l n:t enact local or
special laws concerning any ot the
following subjects, or for any of tI'
following purposes, to wit: I -te I

Mr. Editor: Noting a reply, by Mr. is it
A. S. Douglass, to my recent commu- to t a
nication to your paper on subject of not h
railroad bonds and his opinion on legalfoa
matters connected therewitb, I pre- when

I will remark in the outset, that I If,

First, as to the matter of my friend's sch
legal opinion in the premises; of corelater
he had a right to give unsought ad- publi
vice to the town council, but would do (If
well to remember that such advice is tic p
sometimes not valued. ow
I have no doubt that the town conn- Thej
eli thoroughly knows its duty and has willa
legal advimors of its own. savn
As to the matter of legal advIce, comp
anyway, it is on ancertain thing. I annua
have a friend in an adjoining town $50,0
who has been manager of a bank for saviI3
something over twenty years. For the coto
first twelve years of this period, the impo
bank's legal adviser was one of South the in
Carolina's most astute lawyers, He It i
had always advised my friend, that in lne.i
order to hold the endorser of a promis- petiti
sory note liable for the debt, tbe note full e
must be protested at maturity, and fairs
due notice served on the endorser. vestum
The law itself prescribed the fee can gi
which the notary public was entitled (calli
to receive rar ibis work of protesting, dent
and which the holder had tbe right to it il
collect with the debt. hanice
My friend was a zealous baniker and shouli
had read many of the standard works cured
on law on this subject, all affirming the at
the same position. nor 01
The legal adviser died, and another I cc
adviser was selected-:.ole. prudent, presei
cautious, conservative. aiy friend re- electi'
lied with the u~most confidence upon tha' v
his opinion in all matters, and paid, there
with the greateit alacrity, the annual purpc
stipend for retanitng his counsel. He the cc
had always coulnselled my irienid to til we
the same effect, on the above subject, we l.,e
as his first legal adviser did. 1 am from
stare that Mr. D~ouglass knew both of 1884t
these legal adviders and esteemed them (accol
hijkhly. We
Sometime ago, however, another pand
attorney in the same town challenged inanit
the right of my friend to collect any effort
fdeir;E my sriend was as surprised hamtr
ad ibdignant as if the lawfulness
of his marriage cont' act had been
called in question, and sending at once .
for his legal adviser was astonished to THE
id when the question was submitted isemi-a
to him, that he begin to hesitate, fill
and tack, reef and unfurl, hem and
haw, and asked tor time to investigate
a matter, that my friend had been so
advised about as to consider as well
settled as the course of the stars it
their orbits, for, mark you, my friend's
legal adviser was one of the directors
of his bank, and when, in the course
of the usual bank examinations, he
came across overdue paper he was
very inquisitive to know if it had not
been protested, and cautioned against
the dangers of a failure to protest.
My friend waited for two hours to
get sn opinion, and when he called up
his adviser he begged for one hour
more, and finally went in to say that
the "usages and customs of banking,"
he thought, would mike a good de
fence, but he could find no settled de
cision on the point.
So much, for how much of law is
settled beyond questiou.
The fact is, that the lawyers, like
other men, read the law accoiding to
their temperament. The cautions and
timid men unconsciously stress the
prohibitire featuies of law, bold and
sanguine men stress the permissire fea
tures of law. The one sees the lions
in the way; the other sees that they
are chained.
Why t-houldn't the town council
order an election? Must everything
stop until the construction of every
lawyer on every law be settled?
Doesn't the law provide the proper
tribunal for testing what is law and
what is not law? Can any damage
come of this save a few dollars of ex
pense incurred by the election, and
that, so far as the writer is concerned,
he himself would personally pay,
rather than have self-appointed udges
declare what may be done and what
may not be done.
Is the gentleman afraid to trust the
verdict of the community that Le balks
so before he is spurred?
Shall the men in the commuoity who
want to do something, and do "with
their might what they find to do," be
restrained in laudable efforta by men
who seek rather to find what can not
be done?
Is there any thing of moro Importance
to the public than the matter of trans
portation of the varied products com
ing in and going out? Doesn't the
rate of transportati'>n enter into the
costof st o c rn read t'at
ry coon ranc egand must the
illionaires in the multitude of his ti
atters remember always tbe cost of it

Raise it, and luxuries must be tI

rsooth, a community that oeqires to s'

ostructor of the law !
It becomes business men to band to- I e

shown by the United States censns,
and its own people claim that there

recently issued $85,000, of 4 per cent
bonds at 101.05, for the construction
of asewerage system. Yorkville has
had the advantage of'two independent
a lines of railroad, for ten years or more,
and has now a population of two thou

commenced to grow by the erection of
factories and mun*cipal improvements.

of Yo.::ville, in a very recent issue of

mercy of two independent railroads,
and would be glad to see them both
gobbled by one of the great systems."
If the town of Winnsboro should
issue $50,000 of 5 per cent bonds, as
proposed by my friend, it would have
to pay not only $2,500, interest each
year, but an additional amount of
$1,250, if they be 40-year bonds, for a
sinking fund to pay the principal when
due, as required by Section 7, Article
VIII of the Constitution of the State.
