THE AUGUSTA, EDGEFIELD AND NEWBERRY RAILROAI) The report of President M itchell of the condition of the-Augusta, G ib son and Sandersville Railroad, of whiel system the Augusta. Edge field and Newberry Narrow Gauge is to be a continuation, should give encouragement to the enterp-ise as an investment. The road .s now operating a distance of 51 miles, and the net earnings for the road for six months are $11,818.32, and in this the compensation for carrying the mail is not included, which is esti mated at, at least, $200 per month. President Mitchell in his report says: "As the semi-annual interest charges on $220,000 of 7 per cent. bonds are ,7,700, and the earnings over operating expenses for a period of six months have been $11.818 32, it is evident that the road is not only earning more than its fixed charges on fifty-one miles of roadway, but that it has earned net during the lat ter half of its first fiscal year within a few hundred dollars of the half yearly interest on $350,000, the amount of the whole issue of first mortgage bonds." This report is encouraging, and there is no reason why the Augusta, Edgefield and Newberry should not pay as well. There can be no finer country, or none in more need of railroad facilities than the section through which it is proposed to run the A.. E. & N. road. We learn from the Augusta Chron h6 cle that the people of Augusta are -~much interestedI in this connec tion and will subscribe liberally to the enterprise. The Chronicle says: "The completion of this work will be instantly assured of aid from Ati gusta, The benefits are numerous and lucrative." There can be no doubt that this road will be a good feeder to Augusta, and the Augusta people seem to appreciate that fact, and are not going to let the op)por tunity slip to secure it. The Chroni cle says. -"the Narrow Gauge to New berry via. Edgefield looms up as an other splendid feeder to this city." Thle people ot this section would preter to b)e feeders to the cities of our own State. but it seems that Co lutnbia and Charleston care very little for any further connection with us. The Midland sprung up but to die. &mLnow there is talk of the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens ;we hope it will not go like the Midland. We are told that different parties are at the head of this enterp)rise, and we know that some of the men who are among the corporators are thorough goi: g business men and have taken hold of it with the intention of success. but we are afraid Columbia will not give the enterprise the substantial en couragement that she ought. and with out her co-operation the prospect is not encouraging. But we hope that we are mistaken. The Augusta. Edgefield andi New berry is virtually assured. As was stated in the HowAL m>! Ni.ws last week. Mr. G~oodrich has raised about $60,000 from Edgefield ,and the work can be commenced at an early day. President Mitchell is expected to visit Newberry soon and steps will then be taken to raise Newh,erry's geota. MEASURED) BY BALES OF CO-r TVON. Our Jaappa c'orresponident asks us to estimate the numbher of bales of cotton it will take to pay the salary of each State oflicer, averaging the baies at 42:> poun ds and the p)rice at 8 cents per pound. It he will refer to ou-- issue of- January 1:3th, oif this yeanr, he will tinid an itemized statement o1 the expenditures of the State. includt in g tie salaries of oilicers and their clerk-s, and incidentals. We have made the calculation, hiowev< r, and give the result. At the average sug gested by oir correspondent, one bale of cotion will bringt just $3:3. Thue salary of the Secretary of State, .Comtroler Gneral, Treasurer. At torney~ General, andi Superintendent ofEducation, is in e ach ease $2,100O per vear. At $33 per bale, it will take within a fraction of 64 bales to pay- the yearly salary of each one of' these. The Giovernor's salary is $8, 500,. and at satmeuprice for cotton hie will take 100 hales. The Ad julnt General's salary is only $1,500 and he thecrefo re requires oily 45 bales. The two Associ:ate Justices of outr Sup reame Court. and 8 Circuit Jtudges. ,.eive the sane salary as the Gov vrnor. and to pay these ten Jus'I-es will take 1,060 bales. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court has a salary of '4.000. and in order to pay that it will require 121 hales of the fleecy staple. All these offlicers have clerk s and other iLeictital expenses not included in these estimates. The Lieutenant Governor has a salary of $1,000. a:Id to pay that will take a little over 8) hales. and so we might To on. but as our friend only wants teState officials we Stop. Our correspondent seems to have a very small opinion of up-country legislators, or a very exalted opinion of the power of the low-country. The up-country hias some able men in both branches of the General As semblv,-and they have an influence, also. But we do not like, in State matters, to speak ol' -up-countr" and "low-country." but let us look after the interests of the whole State. But it is ;!l for the people of every countv to See to it that they -cild rood men to represent them in the hialls of le-islation. and by good men I we mean men capable am coIompetent, and this is election year. The biggest thing we have seen yet (nI economy and reform comes from the Seneca Free Press. That paper argues that the Clerk of the Board of County Co:nmissioners is a useless appendage and should be abolished and the :200 paid in some counties for his services saved. Or says this reformer, "If a clerk has to meet with the board and record their actions at every setting, it will cost something of course, but why not let one member of the board record all their transactions and receive s5 extra for his work ?" If none of the members are competent our cotempo rary desires that such he considered ineligible to office. We are in favor of economy and reform but let us be gin where it is more needed. The County Commissioners receive small enough pay anyway for the duties and responsibilities attending their office and they should be allowed a competent and intelligent clerk and in order to secure such he will ha. e to be paid. The (iestion of Convention or Primary for nominating caniilates is being discussed already in some of the counties. Tihe priiiary plan has given pretty general satisfaction in Newberry and it will he contiined. Ilalft the pleasure o: a campaign would be lost if the primnaries were abolished. By thre way, we hear of a number of candidates for legisla tive honors mentioned already. The campaign promises to b)e a lively one. Fo.r the I!mAm AND Nws. "A Question of Privilege." Mit.

Association I ex pressed the opinion that the trUIsteS of each school (istrict are authorized by law to use part of the school fund in providng suitable school houses. The language of the Geceral Statutes,. that I had ill mind, is as follows: -SEc. 1012. The B(ards of Tiustcs shall al-o have atiority, awl it sall he their duty, to provid(e .tIntable -clhol houses in their district-, and to make i lie salme comfortable, payng die regard to aliy school house already built or It( procired." It appears, therefore, that, while the trustees are not expressly author ized to use part of the public school fuud as I have indicated, the author ity to (10so is clearly inpiied. Lther wise, the section that I have quoted would be senseless and meaniless. Very truly, yours, GEO. B. CK6111:l11. [We are pleased to receive the above communication, as we have wanted to say a word on the samne subjeet for some time. Now that a reasonable construction of tile law reassures us, we shall throw out a few hints to those concerned. In a com munity in which a comfortable school house is wa, I three parties are to blame, the patrons, the trustees an(d the teacher. And of the parties con cerned, the largest measure of respon sibility rests upon the teacher. It is an aditted fact that in somle por tious of the county the school liotises are very uncomfortable, ungainly and unsuitable. Where one finds such a condition of affairs. one generallv expects to find old methods an( meager results. Inl such a com!mu nity, the patrons, liavingr never en joyed better opportunities themselves, can hardly be expected fully to real ize the needs of reform and be stimu lated by their own inisfortunts. to provide for their children al,pliances which they were denied. The same may be s.id of the trustees, as they are patrons of one or more of the schools in their respective townships. But the teacher should know his needs, and will know them it' he is rogressive; amnl knowing them, it, should influelCe hiS patroIns to S11)) ply thlem. Q~uite recently we inet oneC of our! teachlers in town' . anid we naturally drifted into the subject of' teach ing. About a year ago~ he took charge of a school in the contry n.ot far from town, and has becomne very fond of tile work, this beingr. if we remember correctly, his first school. We spoke of tile subject now under cosideratiou. He told us that hie had induced is patrons to give himil a number of first-rate decsks (we hlave forgotten theC exact nimnlber) and that e now also has all the blackboard surface he waats. Ile admitted that e did not believe his wants would have been suppllied if' he h:mi not urgedi themil upon is patrons. Teacheris should remember that they are 1'' leres in a great work, and that if thler w.ouild have their wants supplied,. they' must first mallke them known to those tIpon wh1om they rely for sujport. Mr. Cromer said, at the recent neeting of' the Teaecrs' Assici ation, hat it would be better to cloise a school for one term anid use the unds to erect a suitable house, thaun o continlue y'ear after year to occ~upy he same ol eahinl, inl wich the work mu1.st be necessatrilyv very unsat sactorv and deCfective. II s0) eX remie a ilmasure is necessalry, we eartilyv agrree withl himI. But let the eacher first try to indu1ce his patrons o help them!iselves; then. ii tis fails, eind th1e trustees of their duty in the matter.
