rgtfirf?r M?btxtmr. Thos. J. Adams, Editor. Edgefield, s. C., Dec. 3, 1885. Prohibition, The election laut week in Atlanta indicates that the prohibitionists are on deck again. They carried the day in the gale city by a majority of about 216 votes. However, old Joe Brown is on the side of the liquor men and Bob Toombs'eaye^that he is an awful good Baptist, so we cannot say which is right or beat. Oar little town " Bampled" prohibition a year ago and we have gone back to a state of wetness again, so perhaps the remedy did not suit the disease. Prohib? tion is a big thing any way, and if it ever gets into^'politics, it will be like the. wind, which " bloweth where it iiateth. and.thoa hearest the sound thereof, "bot canst not tell whence it cometh and whither it goeth."

A. Hen dricks, Vic?-Preside?t of the United States. Mr. Hendricks died at his home in Indianapolis on last Wednes day, without. even a premonitory symptom of the hasty and wholly unexpected demise. His wife had absented herself from his bedside for a few minutes and when she returned hid ceased to pulsate and that he was dead. Vice-President Hendricks was not a brilliant man, but be wan eminently practical, astute, sagacious .and clear headed, and although in tensely democratic, his advice and opinion was nought by all parties. He wil: be sadly missed in the councils of the nation. We believe he was absolutely incorruptible. The Governor's Message.-Addi tional Appropriations Needed. The Governor s message gives the aggregate of the State debt as $6, 522,1,88.5^--practically the same as last yean The total revenues of the State for the fiscal year ending Nov. '84, $2,089,000, of which $1,936.000 was raised by taxation and $157,000 frtinf" p"E?8phate royalty. It mends a Jevy:of $794,000 for ordina ry Stale purposes for the fiscal year | commencing 1st Nov. 1885. For the soldiers of the State disabled in the Confederate war, an appropriation of j . $80,000 is asked; for the Penitentia ry $25,000; for the South Carolina College and Cia fl in University ap propriations are asked in the discre tion of the Legislature, an also the Columbia Canal. The State House needs from $80,000 lo $120,000. The Lunatic Asylum eeemB^to be in a more satisfactory condition than ever before, and $39,000 less than last year will eufEce for the mainten ance of these unfortunates. An ap propriation ie also expected to be made for taking the State Census probably $25,000. The report of Secre tary of State and Sinking Fund com mission Hhows that 2,407,254 acres of | land in the State are not reported for taxation at all, and that 912,870 acres are on the forfeited land list. 98 per cent, of last year's taxes were paid. The Governor throws cold water oakthe establishment of County Courts bat recommends an increase in the number of Circuit Judges, and that Trial Justices be appointed by the Governor upon the nomination of the Solicitor and Judge of the circuit. Io Sight of the Promised Land at Last. After weary years ol waiting the fruition of onr hopes, it seem3, is about ta be realized. At a meeting of cor porators of the Augusta, Edgefield and Newberry Narrow Gauge held yesterday at the law office of Norris & Fo?k, a letter was read from Presi dent Mitchell, announcing the fact that he had pat a. canvasser in the field, of tried experience and success. This canvasser will reach our town in a few daye and oar people are urged to meet him ia. a spirit of liberality and to make a supreme effort to raise J^gjj|||jj^g^^ar7 fjk|"A8^^yQ^' is asked for from thc whole Corni ty. rWe:^^pT?me>effort because; "anlese we are willing to abandon the: town to the owls and bats, this effort must be made.

F. CHEATHAM, Sec. 1 m Legislative Proceedings. COLUMBIA, S. C., November 25. ?th (louses of tbe Legislature met the usual hour tbis morning and oceeded to the consideration of bills t on the calendar from the last sea n. A number of matters of minor portance wore disposed of in the nate, and that body took up the 1 prepared by the Tax Cora mis ner, and amended by <he Comp liter General, providing for a better item of tax laws lor the State, and icnssed it until the hour of adjourn ing Gen. McCrady, of Charlefiton, has roduced the most sensible r?solu n yet offered. It provides for the pointmont of a committee to con er and report what steps, il any, i be taken to limit the number of i bills introduced in the Gane;ul sembly. If the General can sue >d in ascertaining how this can be ie, and have it done, he will be idering the State a great service. Mr. Folk, of Edgefield, has intro ced the following : A bill to require the Clerk of the preme Court of- this State to fur h copies of all decisions filed by ! Supreme Court to the courts be 7 in all cases free of charge ; also, ?ill to establish and 'charter a bank Edgefield village ; also, a bill to end an act entitled "An Act to orporate the EdgeGeld and Au ita Railroad Company ;" also, a I to change the Constitution of this ite so as to make all county officers the several counties of this State ctive for the term of four years ; j, a bill to reduce the pay of Sher for dieting prisoners in the county s from thirty five cents per diem twenty five per diem; also, a bill ibolish the salary of the Lie ute .i Governor of this State ; also, a to chance y?y?

General Hempbill, of Abbeville, has introduced a bill to abolish the office of Supervisor of Registration and devolve the duties of the office upon county auditors. Mr. R. D. Lee, of Sumter-A bill to provide for taking a State census. Col. Folk asked for and obtained leave of absence for his colleague, Capt. J. P. Blackwell, to enable him to attend a reunion of the 9th Ohio regiment at Zanesville, Ohio, and re turn to the regiment ita flag cap tured by Capt. Blackwell during the war. Col. Folk paid a very pretty tribute to Captain Blackwell's gal lantry, when as a mere boy in Vir ginia he distinguished himself by his splendid courage. Tbe leave of ab sence was granted unanimously. The following letter from General Capers explains the object of Capt. Blackwell's visit to Ohio, and is a fit ting tribute to the services rendered his Slate on a great occasion : GREENVILLE, S. C., \ November 24,1885. j My Dear Sir-I have agreed to re turn the flag of the l?7th Oh:o Vol unteers, captured by our regiment at Franklin, on the 30th inst. The sur vivors of the 07th meet at Zinesville, Ohio, on that day to receive t heir flag, and I wish you, as one of the parties immediately concerned in its capture, to bear it to them in my name and in behalf of tbe 2-ltb South Carolina Volunteers. They ??ave sent me the most cordial invitation, and extended the same to any representative of the 24th whom I may designate. It will be impossible for m? to go to Zanesville, and a* I particularly wish some one of the regiment to represent it on sd interesting an oc casion, I knew of no one more suit able than yourself, who, with the gal lant Tillman, Anlerson, Walls, J. E. 0. Carpenter, and others, took the colors of the Ohioans from the. hands of their flagman. If it is necessary for this purpose that you should ob tain a leave of absence for a few days from the sessions of the Legislature, I am sure that honorable body will readily accord it to you especially as you go to do honor to South Caro lina on the soil cf Ohio. Telegraph me your consent. Most truly yours, E. CAPERS. To J. P. Blackwell, Columbia, South Carolina. The New Tux Ulli Killed. The tax bill was taken up but its consideration had only been resumed for a few minutes when Senator Kirie, of Sumter, moved to strike out ita en acting clause. Ile maintained that it was inquisitorial, that ita provisions seemed designed to reflect upou the honesty of the taxpayers, that it was complicated and did not simplify ex isting laws, and that it was unneces sary in a State which paid OS per cent, of its taxes. In order to save several days of useless consideration, he made the motion to kill at this time. Senator Bobo said that the very characteristics of the bill which were objected to by the Senator from Sum ?^rp^nw -?vi Htp^in. I*-trusty ?d in the honesty of the people ofTi 3outh Carolina, more than in that of tny other people, but he claimed that f this " inquisitorial process" would Dring to book one tax dodger it ought ;o be passed. No houest man could ibject to telling the truth about his property. Senator Smythe said that tho bill vas no child ol his. He objected to ts provisions and if they were not ?hanged would vote against the bill >n its final reading. He did not like lome features which had been termed inquisitorial." But there were o'her eatures which commended themselves o his judgment and which he should ike to see adopted. He thought that t would be unfair to the framers of he bill, who had done their work rery carefully, and unwise for various easons to kill the bill before tho ienators had had time to examine it nd improve it. Senator Earle said that he had lade the mo'ion to nave time ami be ieving that the question might as rel I be settled now. But in view of he desire of certain Seuatora to ex mine the bill more carefully he with rew his motion. The consideration of the bill had, owever, hardly been resumed when enator Earle, at the request cf sev rai Senators, renewed his motion to ill. There was no further debate, he opposition to the measure had Ren carefully organized and wa* mfident of its strength. The vote as as follows : Yeas-Benbow, Blcmann, Black, yrd, Clyburn, Earle, Leituer, Max ell, Moody, Moore, of Auderson, eynolds, Simmons; Sligh, Smith, odd, Talbert, Williams, Wingard id Woodward-10.

The latter motion prevailed d the bill was. placed beyond re scitation. Three rannes apparently contributed this result : First, the indisposition non legal members to go into the idy ol euch a huge bill ; second, e feelings that the bili was too " in ieitorial" to suit the people, and ird, OS per cent, of tax collections th the deduction therefrom : "Let ill enough alone." Mr. Tarrant, of Orar.gebnrg, a bill . the infliction of corporal punish mt for certain misdemeanors. The bills to create County Courts d to provide for the appointment of tgistrates in place of trial justices re also reported unfavorably, and re bofh tabled. Mr. Graydon, of Abbeville, a bill to jhire all railroads in the State to jvide separate accommodations for lite passengers; a bill to regulate i fees of physicians and eurgeons . testifying as experts in criminal ?es. r Ketrcelimcnt and Reform-A Move in thc Right Direction. About forty members and Senators i in the hall of the House at 8 lock to night. There were two law rs among them. Half a dozen prom pt economists appeared to be en* leering the movement. Senator gb, of Newberry, was asked to :e the chair and Representative H. Scndday, of Anderson, was re .steel to act as secretary. They re subsequently elected permanent eera. Although there are a great ny members of the Legislature, Isomeof them stringent economists, , they were not invited to the eting. The reporters were admit- (j freely. ")ri P^irQr;itiii^iillilll"*1'~ explained that the object of the meeting was to seek a reduction of the expenses of the Government by cutting down un necessarily high official salaries and by uniting the economical membeis in opposition to excessive or unneces sary appropriations. Spec ches ou the necessity and pos sibility of rftrenebment were made by Col Rocker and Senator Moore of Anderdon, Mr. Ready of Edgefield, Senator Moody of Marion, Mr. Scud day of Anderson, and others. ?senator Black, of York, introduced a resolution which was adopted, that the Chair with the assistance of a committee of five, appoint a commit tee to investigate certain branches of State expenditure and report upon the reduction in salaries, ?c., which might ba necessary. The committees announced were: On Penitentiary and caual, Representative Massey, chair man, Senator Moore of Anderson, and Representative Gibson ; on de partment of agriculture, phosphate royalty and privilege tax, Represen tative Pope, chairman, Representa tives Mciver and Tux ; on salaries of State oflicers, judiciary, &c, Represen tative Rocker, chairman, Representa liven Blake and Blue; on appropria lions for educational institutions and the military, Representative Scndday, chairman, Senator Moody and Rep resentative Pettigrew ; ou palaries of the officers of the Seriate and House and other expenses, Representative MrKissick, chairman, Representative ClinlcFcalcs and Senator Smith ; on salary of superintendent and expenses of the Asylum, Senator Black, chair man, and Representatives Ready and Davie ; on salary and management of the office of railroad commissioners, Senator Sligh, chairman, Representa tives Rutland and Wharton. When the announcement of the committees war, made several members took occasion to say that while they were in favor of economy, and would work and vote for economy, they would not be bound by any caucus decision. Some of the movers of the plan explained that the decisions of the caucus were not to be binding o? individuals who objected to them. What they sought was unity of judg ment aud unity of vote. They want ed to get information on expenditures, and discuss retrenchment in the caucus. At 9:30 the caucas adjourned, to meet, again next Weduesday night at 8 o'clock, when the reports of the committees are expected. A I'leasaut Account of a Trip io Charte sion, Allanta, and Minor Voiuts. For tho Advertiser. ME. EDITOR: Hoping it will be interesting lo the many readers of TnE ADVERTISER, I will give you a short account ol my recent visit to Charleston, the "City by the Sea," and Atlanta, the New York of the south and other places of less impor tance. Charleston is, as everybody knowe, built on the narrow strip of land be tween the Ashley and Cooper rivers, whoso bottoms are of pure, rich phos phate rock, which is made into Guano and sold and used in almost every State and Territory in the Union, ex cept perhaps in the Indian Territory and they are too uncivilized to use anything bu! ?heir blood stained tom ^i^^lmd'^ fatal biws andarrows in which they are skilled to perfec Lion. These rivers, with their rich beds of rock, which is made into Gua no and which yields annually to the Slate many thousand dollars ns Phos phatc Royalty, are being developed .o an amazing extent. Charleston is loted for its being the oldest settle uent and town in the State and there, is a matter of course, will be found ?orne of the oldest houses in South karolina. The streets are narrow and jcry irregular. Among tho principal piaces of in erest, the Citadel Academy stands irst, whose doors a few puritanical md political soreheads and aristo tratic mugwumps are trying lo close iud thereby debar many ol the most leserving youug men ol South Caro ina from obtaining the advantages if a higher education. It, is lo I loped that their insidious enmity to his Institution will bo overcome and hat they will be defeated in their at empt to crush out thin bright educat ional light, from whoso walls have ;one some ol' South Carolina's most llustrious men, who have, and who re now, filling many of the most esponaible positions in the State ; nd that the Academy will soon re run to the same lofty plan? it once cenpied and receive tl>e praiso ami ncomiums of this great and growing cmntry. ' The Academy is located ear the centre ol the city and is in very flourishing condition, its green nd parade grounds are unequaled y any, and they would be an oina tent to any city. The buildings are i excellent and perfect order. In thc centre of the green will be rected the Calhoun sarcophagus Iready in course of construction hich the last legislature appropria sd three thousand dollars to have rected to forever perpetuate the sa .ed memory of South Carolina's oat illustrious son and statesman. li will eland aaa monument forever. Near this monument is standing a iall portion of a lor.grock wall, en )ped by an iron railing, which once tended from the Ashley river on e east to tho Cooper rivfr on the ?nt. Thin wall was built by the rly Bettlers lo protect themselves >m the murderous raids of ever aodthirsty indians. It stands there eserved as a sacred reminder, to ar testimony to the end of time of e long sufferings undergone by our efathers. The Academy, under the new man? ementof Gen. Geo. D. Johnson, the ld but firm superintendent, -with esent outlook, is and will be a grand ccess. Gen. Johnson, who came mng us from Alabama highly recom mded, is a clever, kind and courte s gentleman and will make a most cellent superintendent. He is mild d firm and sustains the rules and filiations in the mildest but firmest inner. Gen. Johnson will be in the ar future an honor to the State as ll as an honor to the Academy. The United States Custom House, ti ch cost several million dollars, is dace of much interest. It is built solid granite, near the river, and is a beautiful place to visit while the city, especially so since it is ed by respectable white men and mocrate. Sullivan's Island is also another 'asure Beeking place, where the ary souls finds rest and recreation leath the downy skies and within; i comfortable castle-the New; ighton Hotel. 1 Fort Sumter, the old historic fort; many years, also has its charms' those who find pleasure in rumi-i; Dating over the past epochs of time and unveiling the many pleasant and j painful incidents which are encom- tin passed within its strong domains.
