The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam ily Newspaper, devoted to the material in terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. For Terms, see first page. The Labor System--And the '""gNegro Geuerally. One would have thought that in sixteen years the labor of the coun try would have developed itself into some system; that there would have been some certainty and uni formity ; that the question of sup ply and demand, wages, shares, rents, &c., would have regulated themselves. But nothing of the kind has taken place. There is just as much higgling and bargaining between hirer and hired in 1881 as in 1865; the terms for "wages hands", "croppers" and "renters" are just as unsettled. Labor is unsettled because the laborer him -self is unsettled. The negro is of a nomadic disposition ; he likes to change about from one place to an other; no matter how xvell treated he prefers to change ; if he works for A one year he prefers to work the next year for B-not from an y expectation of bettering his condi tion, but from a natural disposition to change. For this reason the be ginning of every yesr is a time of trouble and vexation to the farmer in looking out for "hands", and he is in a miserable state of uncertain ty as.to whether he will be able to run his farm for the year. As for the laborer himself he seems to be perfectly satisfied at the end of the year and it doesn't appear to raake any difference with him whether he has anything to show for his labor or not. His idea of living does not vxniery far into the future ; the idea of saving and laying up "some thing for a rainy day", seldom en ters his mind;s he takes the.injunc tion, "Take no thought for the morrow" in its most literal sense. He is naturally improvident and extravagant, as every farmer knows. -Give him full rein ; furnish him money whenever he wants it, and he will spendethe last cent :of his wages before the year is half gone. It is then that he becomes dissatis fiWtro!WHving spent his year's wages, or share, he feels that he has n'o further interest in the crop and is ready to abandon it on any sort of pretext. The Legislaturelhas found*it necessary to pass stringent laws to prevent this-laws to~jpunish both the la borer who breaks the contract and the person who hires him. But these Jaws cannot remedy the evil; for a disatisfied laborer is neither a desirable nor valuable person to have about a farm. The remedy for the evil is for the farmers to encourage economy in their hands by withholding, as far as practica ble, the wagestill;the end of the year, and to keep them, if possible, from going into-mdebt. The above remarks apply gene rally, but there are, of course, ex ceptions. While the great mass of the colored people are no better off than when first emancipated there are some who by diligence and sav ing have accumulated considerable means. These exceptions prove one thing very clearly, viz.: that the fact that the negro has not im proved his financial condition is owing to his own improvidence and lack of thrift ; they show that he can do so. Very few of them ever seem to attempt it or even to desire it.' Whether they get high wages or low wages, whether they get one fourth, one-third or one-half of the crop the result at the close of the year is the same-0. Another feature of the average laborer is, that he wants to work just as little as he can possibly get alorig with. If he can make a cer tain amount-enough to get him two or three square meals-that is all he cares for ; he won't work the other half for a similar amoant. The time he doesn't work is so much time saved. His idea on this sub ject has been compared to the idea hav~ ,~f ~ 1ohr~r xin~r I withstanding it is the most expen sive and useless luxury he is bound t to have it as long as he can man- . age to pay for it, even if he has to r stint himself in the necessaries of I life. Another drawback is that so i many women and children do no- i thing. It is often the case that in r a family of five or six persons the s head of the family is the only one I that works ; sometimes the iwife+i and children make something in hoeing and picking cotton, but for the rest of the year they are abso- a lutely idle. Yet, with all his faults, the negro i is a good laborer-in the absencet of a better. Col. Aiken is still working away on his pet bill to make the agricul tural department an executive de partment. Presentment of the Grand Jury. THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF NEWBERRY. COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS To the Honorable J. H. Hudson, Presiding Judge : The Grand Jury for 1881, February Term, would respectfully submit the following Presentment : The varied duties devolving upon us have been attended to with whatso ever of thoroughness they could be with the time and opportunities af forded us. THE POOR HOUSE. The Poor House was visited and the condition of the property was ex amined, and the buildings now occu. pied are in good repair, and the prem ises are well cared for, being kept clean and neat. There are, however, two double cabins, not now in use, which are not so that they could be used should they be needed. The ap pearance of the inmates, eleven i n number-five white, six colored shows that they receive proper treat ment and that they are well cared for. We believe it to be a fact, evidenced by the reports for year ending 30th of Octobar, 1880, and the contracts en t.ered into for this fiscal year, that the County Commissioners and i(eeper of the Poor House have tried to reduce the expenses of this institution to the minimum so far as they could in con sonance with the welfare of the in mates. THE JAIL. The condition of the jail was found to be good, making the prisoners in charge of the Sheriff tolerably secure. There are some repairs, however, which are needed, part being already under contract. We would call attention of the County Commissioners to the leaks in the roof of the jail, calling tQ their minds the fact that the repairs under contraet do not include thet stopping of these leaks. THE COURT HOUSE. The Court House is in good repair. The Jury Rooms, as has been seen by every Jury, Grand and Petit, for some time, are in bad condit ion. There are no chairs, nor can one enter thesez rooms without having eyes and nose f offended by unpleasant sights and odors, caused, in part, by the drip from the two lengthy stove pipes. We would recommend the procuring f of chairs for these rooms, and the 1 changing of the pipes, or stoves, if ~ necessary, to avoid the nuisance. Would also recommend that addition- e il chairs be procured for the accomnmo f dation of the members of the Bar. COUNTY OFFICES. Have visited the various County t Offiees-Clerk's, Sheriff's, Judge of a Probate's, Auditor's, Treasurer's and School Commissioner's, and are satis Sed with~ the workings of the same, 'eeling assured that they are in the e 2ands of competent men. t TRIAL JUSTICES. The offices of those Trial Justices in I :he Town of Newberry were visited 8 mnd found in good trim. Their books 0 >f record were easily accessible, and r eady for inspection. Their accounts a ~gainst the County for last fiscal year t< ~ere examined, and we are satisfied ~ ~hat they were paid by the County )nly for services rendered. b COUNTY COMMISsIONERS. Special attention was given to the I >ffice of the County Commissioners, ~ mud the care shown in the keeping of c he accounts and vouchers added to f< he pleasure. We are satisfied that h he duties of this office are conscien iously attended to. We would call Lttetio oftheCouny Cmwisioersd L small bridge oo the road leading hrough Helena, and about a mile be -ond Helena, is in need of iw,r-ediate epair. A bridge near Mr Toni oane's on the road leading frtn the 3elfast Road to he Laurens Road is langercius There is an extremely langerous place on the Columbia Road i hat is known as the Dr. Thni.p Ou place. On the Lindsay's Bridge :oad there is a place in "Noah Mar in's - Lane", some four - wiles from ewberry. so bad that we would re ommtiend that the road be chau,ed so - ; avoid it. Near the Meudenhadl Bridge, on this side, the road is so )ad as to force travel in other direc ;ions. On the Holly's Ferry Road, what is known as the Richardson P3ranch is impassable, forcing travel )ut of this road into other directions. We would respectfully recoin wend :hat these points be looked after- and repaired. Respectfully submitted, FRANK MooN, Foreman. G. M BOWERS. W. R. SMITH, JAMES A. RISER. Louis CREDE. W. P.

Foa THE HERALD. MESSRS. EDITORS: A little volume titled -Wayside Flowers," by Miss Maggie McNinch, of Willia:st'u, S. C , has made its appearance in the literary world. The volume is composed of short poems and sketches, which embody a musical flow of language. a roundness Df periods and a pathos of sentiment, which are most beautiful and eminent ly characteristic of the fair authoress, and can: but charm the most critical ear. We rejoice at this Southern lit srary success and bespeak for it a bearty response from an appreciative public. J. W. K Fairview, S. C., Jan. 29, 1881. The Nepotisma andI Niggardli ness of the Retiring Presi ,dent. As the end of of Mr. Haves's ad ministration approaches it sinks lower in public estimation. Even those vhbo have hitherto attempted to de rend it at last give up the attempt, md confess that it has falJlen to aI iiost as low a plane as Grant's. The President's appointment of Stanley Mlatthews, his kinsman, to a place on ,he Supreme bench for which he would not have been thought of ex ~ept for their relationship, is univer ;ally considered about as bad as any. ,hing~ which Grant was guilty of. Nor s this an isolated case of such favori ism. Repeated instances have oc ~urred where army officers have been )r->moted over the beads of scores )t men their superiors in training nd experience, solely because of their elation to or intimacy with the Iayes family. One case of this sort vhich recently occurred is especially lagrant. It has just leaked out that fter Gen. Hancock's defeat last No. ~ember lie wrote a letter to Mr. iayes. in which he made a personal equest that he would grant to a riend of his (Col. Mitchell) who has een long associated with him in war .nd peace and is now a mem'oer of his taff, the appointment of assistant-in pector-general. for which he was very way qjualifie-d by length and idelity of service. Glen. Hancock, in is letter, modestly referred to the act that the fortunes of political war ad forbidden him an opportunity o recognize Col. Mitchell's merits, dding that he had no complaint to aake for himself, but would consider t a gtreat favor if Mr. Hayes could :rant this, his sole request. It was f no avail, however. A Capt Brecks nridge, one of the junior captains in be service, had married a niece of irs. Hlayes, and when Mr. Hayes be ame President he found his reward. le was first jumped over the heads of dozen senior captains to the charge f the artillery at the Washington Ar anal, which is one of the snuggest ositions in the arm:y, and not long go he was appointed as: -nt inspec yr general, with the rank and pay f major, though to reach this place e had to be ,lifted over forty officers f higher rank, each of whom was etter entitled to the place. No President whomi we have ever ad--not even Grant with all his tvoritism--has done more to de-~ oralize the army than Mr. Hayes. 'oning- into office with loud pro. issions on the subject of temperance, e has become notorious for the whole lemanner in which he has over aled the verdicts of courts.martial ismissing and suspending officers for rnkernness. So.e of thne caes ;ard to this, as most other matters, has been inconsist.-nt. and it may be doubted whether he has not harmed the cause of temperance more than he has helped it. People can under stand and respect a man who declin~s to drink wine himself and refuses to 1 set it before his guests. But nobody can have much respect for a man who fails to provide wine for his guests especially when . as at a State dinner they are not so .much his guests as those of the country whose hospitality he disperses--aud yet goes to other people's tables and drinks their wine. It gives color for the story that thej real reason why no wine is furnished at the White House is .not because 3Mr. Hayes has any moral prejudice against it, but because he wanted to save the expense. It certainly is a fact no occupant of the White House ever descended to such petty and even discreditable shifts to save money as Mr. Hayes. Gen. Garfield is not a hypocrite, and the general expecta tion is that he will provide wine-cer tainly at. state dinners. He is fond of good living himself and he is not the sort of a man to drink wine at other people's tables and then refuse to set it before them at his ti:n table. Newberry Conterenee.| From the Lutheran Visitor. The meeting of ourconferenec at Grace Church was well attended, all the ministers being present but Dr. Sweltzer and Rev. S. P. Hughes, and a good attendance of lay delegates. The weather was delightful, the atten dance large,'tlie preaching and dis cubsions abld, and everything really pleasant. The "Christian Sabbath" was ably discussed in a series of theses, and an essay by Rev. Shirey and then by the metmbers;of Conference. The following was, however, the most interesting and absbi-bing iteuof business REPORT oF THE COMMITTEE ON THE ABOLISHMENT OF THE LIQUOR TRAFIC. Your committ-e -ppointed to report some plan of operation looking to the decrease of the liquor traffic, or its ultimate -abolishment in our county and State at large, respectfully submit the following, to wit: That we hail with joy the evidence, in the kind providence of God, that popular opinion is begining to appre. ciate the unwitigated evils of intem perance, and that it is now, as we hope, maturing for a steady aind de termined opposition against the unItlce in ardent spirits. Therefore Resolved, That we are firmly conl vinced tbat it is our duty, as it is our privdlege, now -specially to use our united influence in opposition to this legalized curse inflicted upon us, and this entire commonwealth ; and that we will, in our intercourse with thd people, in private as well as in public, as occasion may afford us opportunity, use our influence to awaken the peo pIe .to a proper appreciation of the wrongs inflicted upon society and up on the Church by the indiscriinai;te sale and use of intoxicating drinks; and that we will specially use our earnest endeavors to awaken our own people to their duty to them selves, the Church and the State in this regard. Resolved, That we cordially invite the hearty co-operation of all Chris tian people and all good citizens in this effort to banish the trafic in ar dent spirits from our county and State. Resolved, That a comnmit:ee *be appointed to confer with all the churches in this county, through their pastors, concerning the propriety of calling a county temperance conven tion, for the purpose of organizing the united effort of~ all lovers of peace and order and good morals, for the pur pose of ridding our codnutry of this un mitigated curse; and furthermore, that the said committee be clothed with power to call such a conveni tion at such a time and place as their judgment may dictate; provided the favorable response of the churches to the conference herein provided for be such as to warrant them in so doing. But futhermore, should the re. sponse not warrant the said committee in calling a county convention, look ing to united and for the purpose of indicating a general line of action. Resolved, That we will not abate aur interest, in this miatter, but will cheerfully co-operate in the general movement that is now on foot in other parts of the State, in the circu lation of a petition asking legal pro tection in the matter of the vending f ardent spirits, and that we will use ur influence to secure signatures ~hereto. J. D. SHIREY. J. HAWxISs. L. S. BOWERS. H. S. WIINoARn. N. B. WXHEELEIR, This we consider one of the most mportant moves of the present age. fhe conference unanimously agrreed ;hat the favorable change of public ~entiment in favor of abating this ~reat national curse indicates the 'good time comirg,"' and we desire ;o put ourselves on record as willing o co-operate in a grand crusade igainst this great moral evil. The ~omnittee will proceed at once to y naugurate steps by which we hope ~o drive the curse from our county a ~nd State. b I'ribute of zRespect to the MEem ory of Miss Bettie Werts. Fenm The T.ntheann Visienore ecord our high appr,eiation of her as Christian lady and elass-m:,te in our %ul,day-school.

Ilesolved, That while we shall ever 3eplotre our loss, we will ever fondly herish her memory and strive to im tate her -oble virtues. Ilesolced, That we will eudea. or to Wprove the lessons of her beautiful ife and untimely deith, and like her, try to be ready when the dread Iesolced, That we sympathize leeply with her afflicted fauily, and humbly but confidently point them to the divine prouiiQes as the-cne t,onso lation in hours of trouble and bereave went.

In the Senate the 7th instant Sen ator Butler, of South Carolina, spoke at considerable leoth .upuu the allgcd census tra ,as in wuith Carolina, and critizised severely the speeches c.ade by a certain stump orator (under stood to be Senator Conkling) in New York during the late Dyesidsg tial campaign, in which lthat stu,mp orator insulted and villified the peo ple of South Carolina, and accused them of a conspiracy to fraudulently increase the census enumeration in er der to obtain greater political power. The falsity and baseness of the accusa tion, Senator Butler said, were shown by the results of the recent re-enu:a eration un.ier direction of Gen. Wal ker, who was a Repulicn, and also a gentletv .t 11. At the conclusion of Se,nator But Ier's remarks Seia tor Co:okling said he inferredJ froin the lit-tle he had heard of the gentleman's speech that it was designed as an attack upon him self, and he had only to say tint the vaporing of the Senato;r from South Carolina tgave him little concern. If he ad doine injustice to the people of South Carolina he would fiud a sea sonable occasiou to correct it. Senator Butler :The Senator has said that the vaporings of the Senator rota South Carolina are matters of no concern to him. lHe will pardon we or saying that the swagge.ring ins-SO lence of the Senator from New York is of no co.ncern to me. Senator- (Conkling: I do not need to have heard the Senator in order to ascertain that he is a person with whom I do not chose to bandy epithets here or elsewhere, least of all here, and thecrefore I have nothing to dd to that which I have before said.
