ERR.TUM.--In an editorial last week
on the County Commissioners we stat
ed that since 1876, every Board of
Commissioners had increased the in
debtedness of the County by contract
iiig debts largely in excess of the ap
propriation by the Legislature. he
statement, did a great uiustice to the
Board of 1880-1, who'should have been
honorably separated from the list of
these official blunderers. The admin
istration of this Board, composed of
Messrs. J. M. Knight, C. L. Wither
spo.n, and J. J. Harvin, was highly
satifactory to the people, and most
crelitable to themselves. They not
only,'ept the County free from debt,
but at the expiration of their term,
a neat little balance was turned over
to their successors.
The article is otherwis2 true in ev
ery particu'ar.
WORSE THAN SIBERLA.
If any farther evidence were requir
ed to prove the necessity of the abo
lition of the convict camps of Georgia,
it haabeen furnished by the horrible
sufferings of Bud Williams, the details
of which were given in the Nens and
Courier yesterday. Chained to his bed,
and covered with only one thin oan
ket at night, in a room without a fire,
the miserable wreteh had both his
feet ffozen solid during the extremely
eold weather two weeks ago, and has
since lingered in a most frightful cou
a diti'on It is promised that the coun
-4vcommissioners will go to the bot
tor of the affair and handle the res
ponsibl& parties without gloves.
They should certainly do so. Such
Sereeltyiia crime, and should be pun
1shed as a crime.
The truth of the matter is that the
system of hiring out convicts, in Geor
- gi as elsewhere, should either be
,abohished entirely, or some steps be
talken y which these "wards of the
State can be saved from the tender
mercies of inhuman overseers. The
treatment of Bud Williams is a blot
and a disgrace upon the fair fame of
Georgia. It is an outrage against
Christian civilization that such a thing
should have occurred in any part of
the United.States. There is nothing
worse in.the annals of the Siberian
mines or in the records of the Chateau
d'If. Whether his injuries were caus
ed by accident or neg!'gence, or oth
erwise, the story of the torture inflict
ed upon this helpless prisoner will
shock every heart that is not steeled
against sympathy with human suffer
ing.-News and Courier.
WASHINGTON LET f:.R.
WAspros, Feb. 5, 18S6.
ith discussions in the Senate on
Art, Dakota.. the Electorial count, and
in the House agitation. 6f the silver
question, the Pan-Electric tin thunder
ad several personalencounters among
Members, it would seem that our law
makers are i~y, Yet the complaint
iathat they are only wating time as
usaa~l.
2The Houseis-'always asking for some
iniestigation or explanation. Its lat -
esim'ortant demonstration is against
silv~r. In a test vote on Wednesday
there was decided opposition to the
-Administration's financial policy, and
the Secretary of the Treasury will be
.ssked to outline to the House of Rtep
resentatives his future policy on the
silver question.
A Representative Democrat who
thought the House was going too far
in demanding the Secretary to state
..lins future intentions said, "It is pret
ty iad on the President." 'Ihe Sen
ate wants to know his reasons for ev
erything he has d "ne in the past and
everything he is doing now, and the
-Hguse demands his intentions and
promises for the future.
Three Cabinet officers so far have
beeti requested to furnish the Senate
witi information bearing on removed
offigials.,. The Attorney General refus
ed-to furnish them, Secretary Man
ning of the Treasury has drafted. a let
ter of refusal which will have been
sent to-the Sanate 'ere this reaches
you, and- Secretary Lamer of the in
terior will doubtless proceed in the
same -way.
Vhen Senator Beck of Kentucky
wvas asked what he thought would be
the-outcome of the controversy be
twien the President and Senate hie
replied, "It all depends unon" d tli~
-Republican maijciy' wd do. They
are in th' .:..onty and they can delay
pubsiness by deciding not to
coalirm appointees." He thought~
this course would be all right if the
Reppiblicans were satisfied with it.
The Deinocrats; he said, would adhere'
to'thirpresent plan and he thought
*itwould be for them a good enough~
- issue on which to appeal.to the peo
ple..
* A;rather singular episode took place
in a Senate committee. Senator Sher
man astonished the Democrats in a
talk about appoiniments. Allusion
was made to the deadlock which has
takeu place in the -confirmation of of
ficials to succeed those suspended, and
a Democratic Senator asked in a semi
.jocular'way; why the committee should
not act on these nominations over
which there was no contest. Where
uposi Senator Sherman remarked that
there were two removed officials in
his Own State who-haad written to him
that their successors were men of first
class chaofer~ and in every way com
petent, -and they hoped no effort
woufd be made against their confirm
ation.
Several efforts have been made this1
session to have nominations consider
ed in open. session. Senator Platt of
Connehas maderthe last proposition
pf this kindt% the Senate. He says
aberecy begets. suspicidn, and as long~
as Senators wdrk within barred doors
they will have imputed to them mo-.
is a natural aversion in the Amenicau
mind, to anything partaking of the
nature of star-chaniber proceedings in
legislative and judicial bodies. If the
question was put to a vote of the peo
1p le, it would doubtless carry by a
large mjority. But a Senator said
recently, "Dont. for heaven's sake, ask
to have what takes place in executive
sessions, laid bare before the public.
Locked up here from the eyes and
ears of the. world, it is all we ourselves
can do to listen to somie disclosures
that are made in secret sessions.
NEGROJURORS.
At Georgetown Court last week, a
coiplaint in the form of a memorial,
was'submitted to Judge Pressley,
,signed by a number of colored per
sons, setting forth that their race was
not suicientiy repr'esented in the or
ganizatfion of the juries for that Coun
thei aYdicvk
aking that their grievances,
in t rspet be remedied.
The Enyer quotes Judge Press
Iey's replyto the memorial as fol
I
Lows:
"u comrnienting on this somewhat
exitord inarv document, the Judge
stated that if, as a matter of fact, the
negro was deprived of justice, by ab
sence of representation on the jury
panels, it was unknown to him. He
had observed in Charleston a tenden
c on the part of a few preachers and
colored politi-ians to create an agitat
ion on this subject, but personal ob
servation enabled him to say that
there was no complaint whatever from
the great mass of colored people. In
the course of eight year's experience,
he had found it to be a fact, that col
ored persons, when arraigned for tri
al, in nine cases out of ten objected to
jurors of their own race and accepted
the whites. He had been informed
by the kfwyers who represented the
prisoners in these cases tbat the reas
on of this was that a colored juror
would frequently convict on mere sus
picion, whereas white jurors would al
most invariably be governed solely by
the evidence, and would refuse to con
vict where this was not sufficient. In
the up-country where there were com
paratively few negroes, there were al
ways some on the jury panels, and yet
in a large majority of cases they were
objected to by colored prisoners.
As a matter of fact, he did not be
lieve the negro suffered any injustice
from lack of representation on the ju
I ries. On the contrary, lie would state
it as an absolute fact, demonstrated
by his own observation, that juries,
consisting almost wholly of whites,
I were always disposed to give the col
ored man justice. He had recently
tried a white man in Marion osty
for stealing a negroe's ox, the jury
promptly cou-ietrbim and he had
be' sent to the penitentiary for two
years.
In many cases, where there was a
contest between white and colored
men over purely civil rights, he had
known white juries to find verdicts in
favor of the negro when according to
his own view of the evidence, the ver
diet should have been in favor of the
white man.
The negroes once had control of our
entire State governmen t, and they had
allowved their leaders to plunder and
steal until their flagrant corruptiou
became intolerable, not only to the
State, but to the United States, and
they had Llhen been deprived of politi
cal supremacy. They were now un
der the protection of the whites, who
controlled the machinery of govern
ment and the administration of justice,
and.he believed it to be the duty of
the whites to see that they were pro
tected in all their rights. He made it
a rule to charge grand juries that God
would not bless the State unless the
rights of these humble and helpless cit
izens were jealously guarded. And lhe
was confident that there was a growing
sentiment in the State in favor of their
just and liberal treatment.
He was convinced that the'e was
no complaiut from the masses of col
ored people, but that the agitation of
this matter originated among colored
preachers, who were desirous of con
trolling the money of their flocks, and
aspiring polititiens and would-be lead
ers, whose only aim was to control the
negro voters by these means of their
own selfish purposes. If the officers
charged with the drawving of juries
abused their trust and the negroes
suffered any injustice, it would then
be time for the proper authorities to
investigate the matter and remedy any
evil that might be found to exist. The
injunction laid on the j
ys by law was-Tii tuat they
snould select proper and suitable per
sons to serve as jurors, and he was sat
isfied that they strove to do their du
tv according to law. At the present~
juncture he did not feel called upon
to interfere ; but if the petitioners,
through their chairman, desired to
have a further hearing before him, he
would gladly give them private au'
dience and cheerfully listen to any
grounds of complaint they might pre
sent."
HItGH PRICES FORt FERtTILIZERS.I
There is a vast amount of money
paid for fertilizers by the farmers of
this State. and much of it goes to the
manufacturers and guano dealers for
profits and to the railroads for freight.
The price of one ton of guano, when
bought on time, is about 425 lbs., of
lint cotton; but the cost of hauling~
and distributing the guano and pick
ing the cotton to pay for the guano,
must be added to the first cost. Let
us figure on it a little and see what a
ton of guano really cost by the time
it is paid for :
First cost of guano at the R. R. .. . 37.00
Hauling and distributing. . ........ 4 400
Picing 1275 pounds of cotton .... .0
Ginning aind marketing...... ... ...300
Total. .......................540~
Deduct value of seed ......... ......4 400
Total........................4640
By the above figures it will be seen
that it takes forty-six dollars cash to
pay for a ton of guano when bought
rm .4-5 lb. ur lint ,-otton. The ton of
guano would have to increase the yield
of the crop to which it was applied to
the amount of forte-six dollars before
any profit would be realized from its
use.
The profit of usinx guano at thcsc
figures cannot be great, even where
the land is good and the seasons fa
vorable, but when used on poor land
and the seasons are unfavorable it is
doubtful if it will pay.
To avoid paying such ruinous pric
es, every farmer should make all the
manure at home that he possibly can.
Oi wet days, and at odd times, haul
leaves for littering stables and lots,
and rake up and save all the manure
about the place. Bay acid phosphate
and compost it with cotton seed and
home-made manure. Use the coi
puSt as far as it will go, and buy cot
ton seed meal and mix with acid phos
phate, in proportions of 300 pounds
acid to 100 pounds meal, and use in
stead of ammoniated guano. Cotton
seed meal can be bought for $25 per
ton, cash, and acid phospbate at the
same price, and when mixed in the
proportions named they make a fertil
izer equal to the best brand of ammo
niated guano.
Of equal importance to cheep fer
tilizers. is the care of the land, so that
the fertilizers will remain where plac
ed, and be of permanent benefit to the
soil. It is the height of folly to pay
high prices for fertilizers and then ap
ply tlem to land where much of then
are liable to wash away. Lands that
are liable to wash should be terraced
or well ditched. Terracing is beeom
ing very popular, and is an excellent
plan to prevert washing and improve
land.- Cotton ,I Pad.
CLOSE LIVING.
The little country of Belgium has
four hundred and eighty persons to
the square mile, or thlee to every four
acres. That is, four acres are made to
support three persons. If the United
States were equally crowded the popu
lation would be 1,650,000,000, or more
than the population of the whole
world. One acre perfectly well culti
vated can 'zasily support one person.
I It is possible to produce sixty bushels
of wheat on one acre, arid this is equiv
alent to the whole support of at least
two persons. It is simply a matter of
calculation and management. Belgium
shows what can be done. And it is
well done, for we do not hear of dis
tre:s in that busy country, nor of pau
pers. nor of a rush of dissatisfied Bel
gians crowding away to better their
condition. It shows that high farm
in- and excellent cultivation of the
soil are profitable, and m b ie
as ono of tho :acts that proved this to
be a settled principle of agricultural
economy.--bmerWc'n.
H1CMAN NATURE.
[For the a.md ig 77ms.)
This is a subject that became thread
bare ages before we were born; every
day's experience proves the fallacy of
all human reasoning, in indeavoring
to elucidate its problematic mysteries,
and defeats some powerful casuist's
deductions just as they are about to
gain some weight as the oracles of a
sage. A knowledge of the inward
springs of the thought and action,
which regate the conduct and unseal
thle destinies of our fellow men, is an
acquismtion beyond the slender comn
prehension of~ human foresight ; in
fact it is almost as difficult to solve the
natural principles of our own charac
ter, and the inward sources of our own
dispositions as to fathom the motives
and dispositions of others. If then
this shallow comprehension of our
selves is made palpable to our mind~s,
how much more difficult must it be to
arrive at the proper principles which
regulate the conduct of another. Yet
mankind in general are so prone to
consider themselves elevated in intel
lect, or more familiar with human na
ture than their brethren, that this very
trait of self confidence is frequently:
the cause of more actual disappoint
ment, as well in mental as avaricious
ambition, than any other.
How frequently do we find men of
extensive icquirements and extraor
dinary minds, addicted to follies and
weaknesses that would be disgraceful
to a fool. Antipathies are embibed,
they know not why, and fonidnesses
felt for degrading pleasures which
none will so readily reprehend as
themselves. Lord Byron is -ait ..
have been so intimidate; -tie tritiing~
operation of .myas to have*
sacritie.i life, rather than to un
~~o it; this was certainly an unwor
thy weakness, and one that detracted
from the, elevation of his understand
ing, yet 'we scarcely read the biogra
phy of any eminent individual, but
similar discrepancies of intellect will
be discovered. The mysteries of these
things are only to be unravelled in
that parable of parables-humuan na
ture. 3Ins. Cmx.is. Lmsio.

LowELL, Mhss., February 1.--The
recent quiet marriage of two people1
belonging to wvell-known Lowell fam
ilies has a romantir' history. 1Iany
years ago, 3Iaurice Johnson, the only
son of a wealthy Lowell citizen, enter
ed Harvard University to be fitted for
the practice of medicine. The youn
man was supplied with plenty of muon
v, and his name and his purse soo
placed him at the head of a lively
spendthrift set. His freshman year.
was one unbroken series of wild ec'
ploits, and several thius he narrowly
escaped being expelled from college.
Handsome, dashing and rich, he be
came the hero of many love adven
tures, but finally it became knowun
that ne wvas engaged to the young
daughter of a wealthy Lowvell mer
hant-a petite young girl, with the
customary fair hair, blu~e eyes and a
susceptible hecart. Their romance had
hardly begun when it was rudely in
terrupted by the disastrous failure of~
young Johnson's father.
When the newvs was announced th~e

The Condition of the State Treaury.
From the e-s awl Curier u!!he 8th.2
The State treasury is steadily ap
proaching the point wlhere the last
veatr's taxes may be definitelv --ban
doned and the (jovernunent couduicted
for one year upon the accumulated
surplus of a decade.
It will be a surprise to the people
of South Carolina to know what re
sources their treisury possesses in the
very middle of these "hard times." At
the request of the aws and (ira r
Bureau, Treasurer iichardsonI has
had prepared the following state
ment of the cash balances of the treas
ury at periods extendiing over the
most recent months:
On October 31, 1885, there wa- a
balance in the I trcasury of $1330;.41.
The November receipts were
660.73, making the total k'01,167.I4,
which, less $20,:34.1. disbursements
in November, madethe' cash balance
November 31 i%,232.20.
The Decaibhr receipt s werc i:7,
169.87 and 'he dbishmsements -$110,
18.09, including about 5 ic
ipa1ted inlterest on3 the St ate' de~bt. Te
cash balace in the treasury Decetu
ber 31, 1885, was therefore $547,233
.98.
The receipts in January, 18860, were
$32,471.55 and the disbursements
A145,425.80, of which about $77.000
was for interest on the State debt.
The cash balance January 30, 1886,
was accordingly $434,279.73, a very
handsome and creditable sum.
THE PUflLIC StiiGoLS IN TiiE IN TE
( Cur. Abbecuile i~'ss and Jllanner.]
If the present condition of our pb
lie free schools, upon which our peo
ple mainly depend for the education
of their children, is not improved, I
predict that, in a few deecades, the
records of illiteracy and ignorance will
startle us with just fears of our free -
doa blshafey and tranquaility, anid bring
a ls fshame to all iiitelligent and
patriotic citizens.
It is an appalling fact that a large
portion of the piatrons of our public
free schools are hopelessly deluded in
supposing that their chii1reu are re
eiving benefit wheu the truth is in
comp1etent teachers are absolutely
wasting the public money, and what
is infiuitely wvorse, the precioUu mnd
and time of their children. The pee
ple should rise in their nmight and in
indignation and demand of thzose who
administer the schiool laws, thaxt hrih
er qualifications should be required of
the teacher than that he should be
somebody, like Plato's nman, "with two
legs without fetghers." to keep school
from suurisc to sunset. Poor teach
