Entered at the Post Oflice at Manning as Second-Class Matter. MANNING, S. C.: WEDNESDAY, NOV. 27th, 1895. The United States Supreme court has dismissed the appeal in the regis tration case carried up from the de cision of the court of appeals. In declining to make it mandatory upon the State to support institutions of higher learning, we think the Con vention acted wisely. Had they made it mandatory the day might come when the people would want a change and not be able to get it. We would have been anchored to a system which might smash to pieces the common schools of the country,; as long as the State can do so, with out crippleing the common school service, we think she should give liberal support to the collegcs, but always keep a fostering care for the common schools. As the new Con stitution stands the Legislature has some discretion, it can make appro priations for the colleges or not as it believes best for the people's welfare. The masses are not able to send their children away from home to be edu cated and it is from them the bulk of the taxes are collected; they have the right to expect the State to do more for them than for a select few who are able to send their children to colleges. It is always painful to us to do an injustice to any one, and when we have done so to a friend it becomes more painful. In our last issue we stated that Hon. J. W. Kennedy was among those who voted for the measure raising the talary of the members of the Constitutional Con vention from two to four dallars per day, it turns out from the letter we re ceived from Captain D. J1. Bradham, which we publish elsewhere that we were misiaken and also mistaken in stating that Mr. Cantey was not among those voting. We received our iniformation from last Wednes day's News and Courier's report of -the vote on the measure which did state that Mr. Kennedy was paired with Mr. Barker, and that Mr. Barker wouldh-lave voted against four dol lars andtenne wald have voted for it; thus recording - nedy with the salary grabbers. The -mistake was with the News and Courier and Mr. Kennedy should on a question of personal privilege rise upon the floor of the Convention and ask that justice be done him by having the report corrected. It affords us a great deal of pleasure to now be able to announce that the Clarendon dele gation have been true to the people; that their records are clean and that they refused to be mislead into doub ling their salaries, although they are making great sacrifices while away. from their business. We have always thought the legislature did wrong in fixing the salary at two dollars a day; it is not enough, but they did it, and the members were elected fully aware of what their pay would be, and un der circumstances we think it doubly wrong for the members to increase the pay. The pay has been increased however, but it was Dot done by the votes of Bradham, Cantey nor Ken nedy, let it be said to their honor. The new county craze has at last struck Clarendon, meetings are being held in Salem for the purpose of agi tating the question of a new county to be formed from parts of this and Sumter, and the moving spirit in the whole business is to give some peo ple offices that have been repudiated in both of the old counties. We arc informed that the new county agita tors are telling people, if they will vote to cut themselves off from Sum. ter and Clarendon, their taxes wvill be a great deal less than they are now, and the only expense they woul be put to is the building of a court house and jail; they also tell the peo ple that all of the county officers are paid salaries which comes out of the State treasury, and other similar rot. If these designers succeed in fooling the people into voting for a new county, they will bring on those peo ple the cost of not only building a court house and jail, but the salary of every ecounty officer elected by them. No county otlicer gets his pay from the State treasury, and asser tions to the contrary are simply made to advance the personal ambition of men who could not be elected dog pelters in their own counties. It does not uee'i a very wise man to see the folly of the argument that a smaller county will increase the ex pense. The larger the county, the more property there is in it to collect taxes from and the expense of run ning a small couty is about as much as a larger oue, fur it takes the same number of officers and they all get about the same pay, tben if it takes $30,000 to meet the re quirements as the county stands now, it would if the county was made smaller raise; the tax levy on every tax-payer to such an extent as to get the necessary~ amount. In other words, if to raise $100 you have ten to draw from, each would pay ten dollars, but if the same, amount had to be raised and you~ only have five to draw from, the as sessment would be exactly double on the remaining five. The same prin- I :iple exists in the formation of new1 counties. We do not wish to be understood as being opposed to the new county. We are not if the people desire it,but we are opposed to them being mis lead with false statements by design ing politicians. If the people of Sa lem are willing to bear about double taxation they pay now, and want to join with others to form a new county, it is their privilege to do so, but at the same time we would not be do ing our duty did we not show them what must come when they take such a step. If our information is correct that the promoters of the scheme are telling the people that the expense of running the new county will come out of the State treasury, is true, then we have no hesitancy in telling the people, such statements are made simply to further the ends of design ing men who are stiring up this agi tation for selfish purposes; for office or to bring their individual property into a market for sale.

This is one of the most ingenious, at tractive and creditable features of the Cot ton States Exposition. It is located in Ag ricultural Hall near the main entrance. Its design and arrangement to the minutest de tail was intrusted to John T. Patrick. for merly State commissioner for North Caro lina; the man who created the pretty vil liage and resoit of Southern Pines from a barren sand bill, and is now superintend ing a similar process of evontion at Pine Bluff. The result of his conscientious and inderatigable efforts is a display of singular beauty and instructive merit. A more desirable location could hardly have been selected or secured. It occupies the front middle half of the building, ex tending to the wings on either side and covering the space of 3,700 square feet. All of this floor area has been has been utilized to the best advantage. There is no article nor decoration in it that is not significant of something that is practical and useful. The main purpose of this dis play is kept pre-eminently in view, and all the details o'f ornam-nt and use are subor dinated to it, the completed whole forming a consistent, harm~onious, suggestive pie ttare, to be studied as well as admired. The Seaboard people have just reason to be proud so thoroughly able and interest-. ing an exposition of the enterprise, indus try and resources of the country tributary to their line. Its two entrances face diagonally the main passageway of the building. Each consits of three columns of limestone, brownstone and granite in the rough (the brownstone being furnished by the Aldrich company, of Sanford, N. C.), resting on brownstone pedestals and capped with fin ished blocks of the same material. A -plain longitudinal beam or framework unites and rests on these columns, completing the two commodious passage ways for each en trance. These are neatly ornamented, and on the cloth covering "Seaboard Air Line" is conspicuously lettered. The name of the company in fact appears at every van tage point. It stretches overhead along the entire length of the timber that joins the wings to the main hall, and where space does not admit, it assumes its abbreviated nomenclature, and "S. A. L." catches the eye of visitors from all poigts of observa tion. A light wvooden railing about three feet Ligh attached to short columns of na tive rock with finished brownstone caps, srroinds the exhibit. This form of in closure insures an open and unobstructed view of the interior from all sides. The sensational or speetacular feature of the display is the arch at the rear end which spans the aisle and gives unity of effect to the exhibit that would otherwise appear to be separated in two divisions. This arch is graceful and appropriate rather than im posing. Its supporting colums are taste fully draped and crowned with sheaves of grain. In the broad curve "Seaboard Air Line" stands out in bold red letters. This inscription is repeated on the reverse side in bright tobacco leaf of dead goid color. The pedimont of the arch system is triang ular in shape, in the center of which is a pretty device of interwoven stalks of corn and cane. From the apex rises a flagstaff from which is suspened a beautiful silk flag. Grains, cereals. corn cobs and tobacco leaves constitute the principal material of embellishmuent, and it is surprising what charming effects such simple materials can be made to produce. To the right thnis arch is flanked by a map of thirty feet wide by fifteen high dimensions, which illustrates not only the main Seaboard route, but the points it reachas in other states via its con necting lines. A unique and taking feat ure is the running of actual trains over its surface track, which foilow each other in uninterrupted succession, starting from Portsmouth and terminating in Atlanta. All the leading cities and towns on the line are distinctly noted. On a raised sheif at the foot of the map are ranged in rows ex tending the entire length of the border line, specimens of soi! corresponding to the towns and places from which they were taken as designated on the map above them. On the opposite side of the arch on a level with the map is an immense panel (thirty feet by five) on which is placarded wvith cotton boils in strong relief the fol lowing legend: "The Seaboard Air Line territory leads in cotton manufacturing and other indi vidual enterprises. For this reason and on account of pure water, healthful climate, fine vegetab'es, fruits, tobacco, rice, cotton, grain and grass lands at from Si to $100 per aere convenient to large northern and southern markets, it is the section in the south to locate in. 9ER World's Fair .

The following are the earliest known examples of printing-two in dulgenees, printed usually on one side only of a single piece of vellum and two magnificent Bibles. Of these one is known to be the first complete book that ever was printed by the wonderful new invention, which, as the early printprs so often proudly state in their colophons, pro duced "letters without ~the aid of any sort of pen, whether of quill, of reed or of metal." The first piece of printing which is actually dated is de famous iudul gence of Nicholas V to such as should contribute money to aid the king of Cyprus against the Turks. This in dulgenee has the printed year date 1454, and a copy in The Hague mu seum has the date "Nov. 15" filled in with a pen. Mr. Duff tells us that "in the years 1454 and 1455 there was alarge demand for these indulgences and seven editions were issued. These may be divided into two sets, the one containing 31 lines, the other So lines, the first dated example be longing to the former." This 30 line edition is shown to have been printed by Peter Schoeffer de Gernsheim, by the fact that some of the initial letters which occur in it appear in another later indulgence of 1489, which is known to have come from his press.-Saturday Re view. Low Temperatures. Some recent results in French chemical experience hiave attracted considerable attention from the fact that by new methods a temperature has been obtained far lower than hitherto known-namely, 273 de grees C. below zero or 491 degree F. below the freezing point of water. This temperature was obtained, ii seems, by using a series of cold we:L according to a simple and origina plan. In the first of these well there was used a mixture of carbonic acid and sulpurous acid and by theif evaporation a temperature was se cured of 110 degrees C. below zero. In this cold well was then immersed a condenser in which the vapors of a still more volatile liquid, protoxide of nitrogen, or ethylene, were con densed and thus reached 150 degrees below zero. In another well 210 de. grees was marked and again 273 de grees. In the case of these last named wells, nitrogen, carbonic, ox ide, marsh gas and atmospheric air under pressure of 40 atmospheres were employed, and the instrumnents with which measurement of the low er temperatures were made consisted of hydrogen thermometers graduat ed by comparison with the sulphuric ether instruments. It is thought that the low temperatures obtained by these experiments will lead tc some new chemical combinations o: an important character.-New Yorl Sun. STATE or OHIO, Crrs or ToLEno, Lucas COUNTY.
