XXIIL RATIM9t$?,, F914sIXAEON 118. NEWBERRY, B. Cr, WEDNESDAY, J&NUARY~5, 1887. onmnnts - of the State Press on the Work of- the General Assembly or -1886. There is but little reform or re. tronohmeht in the work of the Legis lature of South Carolina for the ses. ston .of 1880, for the reason that tbere is but little room for. retrench. ment and reform, The Legislature worked hard, however, and is entitled to discriminating commendation for what it did, and for what it left tin. done. During the session 141 bills were pased bf both houses, and have be come laws. Only 24 are general public Acts; 16 relate to railroads; 86 relate to county affairs and 12 to municipal oharters ; 29 are miscel laneous charters; 4 relate to the sale of- liquor; 7 relate to the stock law; 5 relate to appropriuions, and 6 to Mhiscellaneous matters. The Joint Resolutions ratifying the Constitu tional amendments, relating to the bonded debt and to the census, which were voted on by the people in No. vember, make up the count. So far as the General Appropria tion bill is concerned, there was not --in fact, there could not properly be-any material reduction in the amount appropriated. The State Government is run now on as econom ical a basis as is consistent with prompt and efflcient- administration. Before the meeting of the General Assembly, and during its session, there was much well-meaning talk of reduction of expenses. The hard common sense of a majority of the - Legislature, however, prevented any sweeping changes. In one very im portant- respect a much-desired amendment has been effected. This is embodied in the Act providing for the transportation of convicts from county jails to the Penitentiary at the expense of that institution. This will relieve the counties of a very onerous tax. The Act reducing the fees. for dieting of prisoners will also lighten the burden on the counties somewhat, although the provisions of the Act will work hardship to the sheriffs of some cdunties. As a result of the action of the Farmers' Convention, a bill was passed providing for the establish ment of two experimental agricultu ral stations in the State. The bill which passed the IMhuse was con siderably modified in the Senate,-but its substance was retained, and the official representatives of the farmers are understood to be satisfied with it. Two other*measures introduced in response to the memorial of the far. mers, viz., the bill to reorganize the agricultural department, and the bill to provide for the equalization of taxes, were passed by the House and disallowed by the Senate, the former having been postponed to the next dession, and the second having been rejected. The appropriations for the State University are liberal. The bills pro. viding for a tuition fee of 440 passed both houses, with a proviso that ben. eficiary scholarships can he given to deserving persons by the facdlty at their discretion. No boy who is p)oor will be rejected on that account. The free scholarships will be conferred by the faculty, and they may be con fidently counted upon01 to exercise sound judgment. Thue tuition fees, however, should .go to the College fund, as a means of augmenting the power and, therefore, the usefulness of that institution. The phosphate royalty remuains as t,efore, a select committee having been appointed to sit during the re cess and investigate the subject, with leave to report by bill. The Legislature, taking into con sideration the distress p)revailing in the State, has extended to January 15 the time for paying the taxes, and In certain sections of Charleston, Colleton and Berkeley 'countles, alf'ected by the earthquake, the time is extended until February 1. Th e legislation on the subject of liquor selling was about equally di vided as far as p)rohibition and anti prohibition are concerned. Ander. son and Laurens have a new iron clad prohibition law, which is extreme in charadter and apparently Incapa ble of enforcement. It must be borne In mind, however, that in or der to secure a special election under this law'a majority of the r6al estate owners In the counties named must petition for It. it Is doubtful, it is saId, that a majority of the property owners of either Laurens or Ander son counties will'consent to the pro vlions of the new law. In adhdit ion, an Act was p)assed authorizing the issuing of license for the sale of Ii quor In the counties of Beaufort and and Berkeley, where, for one reason or another, prohibition is a failure. The Barnwell county prohibition law was also repealed. - The Labor Contract bill, which appeared to the News and Courier so *unwise sud.provocat,ive of strife and discontent, was postponed to the next session. Thi tax levy for theo year. is four and a. quarter mills for State purpo ses, being one mill less than that of last year. - - ' The polumbia -Canal is entirely unprovided, for, the friends of the ca nal preferfing that condition of things to the compromise plan suggested, at,,a late hour of the session,-and which contemplated the connecting of the old and -new canals and the assurance of only water power suf. oient to run the penitentiary and the city water-works. A highly important measure which became a law is the General Incor poration bill. It will save the State much money and it will save the pro moters of new undertakings both ex. pense and delay. Alt in all, there is much that is bright and good in the action and in action of the Legislature this session. The educational institutions of the State-including the Citadel and the College-are maintained in their vig or, if they are not increased in strength. The farmers have made a beginning in the education of the people in the special needs of agri culture. The militia holds its ground, and with substantial reasons. We regret exceedingly that the Senate defeated the proposition to raise a committee to inquire into the con struction and cost of agricultural colleges for the information of the Legislature, and it is unfortunate that a committee was not appointed to formulate any necessary afnend ment of the Constitution. But we could easily have gone farther to fare vvorse.--News and Courier. We think, despite Lhe gloomy prophecies made prior to the meet ing of the Legislature, and the un favorable criticisms showered upon it since, that this Legislature will compare very favorably with its pre decessors. The new members from whom so much disaster was feared, proved themselves, in a number of cases, efticient, working members, and radical Legislation was urged in a great majority of cases by the older members.- Watchman and Southron. The General Assembly has con vened, held its session, transacted its business, and then dissolved Great things were expected from it, but nothing in particular, above ordinary sessions, was realized.-Lnterprise and Mountaineer. The State expenditures have been reduced in an exceedingly small de gree-in a degree not worth men tioning. The State levy is 4 1.4 mills, which, on $140,000,000 assessed valuation, calls for $595,000 of taxes. The two-mill school tax calls for $280,000, aggregating for State and school tax $875,000. Edgefleld's tax, which, we hoped last week, would be only 9 mills, will now be near 10 or 10 1-2 mills. The sum appropriated to the State Agricultural and Mechanical Socie ty has been cut down from $2,500 to $1,000. The much-mooted reorganization of the State Agricultural Department has gone over. Not only does this Department remain unntouched, but its power'and patronage are enlarged by having control of the two experi mental stations which are to he es tablished-withi an app)ropriation of .$10,000 for their suppor-t. The fa mere themselves defeated this pro posed reorganization; not the law yers, nor the prIeacers.-Edgefield Chronicle. The Legislature adjour-ned last Fri day. Judgments of its wr1k will be variotus. Some will say it has been the best gund others that it has been the worst General Assembly that has met for years and neither will he right. It was a good body of men, anxious to do good and without axes to grind. The worst thing about it has been its too great reliance in law4 making as the curc foir hard times, as evidenced by the avalanche of bills introduced. Just think of it ! Thr-ee hundred and1 sixty-nine in the IHouse and almost as nmny in the Senate. If so many p)atchnes and prescrip tionis are necessary then the body politic Is- in a bad way and likely to be (larned and doctored to (death. Blut our legislator-s.have shown good sense in continuing many important measures to the next session. Thlere will be ample time for their study next summer and1 we shall give them a series of free lectures from time to time, as oppor-tu nity' offers. Our tiul tion fee is only two dollars a year. Barntwell Pople. The professional lobbyist, 13. R. Ti'llman, had his hands fulI wvhen lhe accepted thne chairmanship of the committee a ppo inted to overlook the Legislature. lIe gave up1 the job as a bad one and 18s said to have re marked on reaching home, thait thne only friends he had In the Legislature were tihe lawyers. M r. Tillman inust have been impressed wvith the con viction that It Is more diflicult to lead farmers than lie once Imagined. IIe erred in thinking that all farmers who go to the Legislature are "bob tailed," and hence ha failed to lead We believe the general feeling of the people will be that. the assem bly has plenty of good sound timber, a little too green to be of much value in the first session, but sure to im. prove enough with time and expe, rience to give good results. There was of course, some blunder. ing and timidity, the natural and cer, tain result of inexperience. But the purpose of the majority of the assem bly-especially in the house-evi dently in accord with the sentiment and Judgment of the masses of the democrats of the State. There is a de. crease in the State levy and some testing and examination-ofleaks was made which will result in adoption of other economic measures in the future. One of the best works of the ses. sion was the defeat of the canal ap. propriation. That stops a leak, and, better yet, expresses the voice of the people of the State against the par. ticipation of the State in enterprises of doubtful success and only local im. portance.--Grecnville News. The defeat of the bill knowu as the Columbia Canal bill asking for an appropriation of twelve thousand dollars out of the people's money, by a vote of 75 to 37 in the House of Representatives last week, is a piece of legislative work that cannot be too highly commended by the tax payers. The canal scheme has long been looked upon as one of those cancerous enterprises fastening it self too firmly upon the treasury and giving nothing in return save prom ises for the future. Its advocates have succeeded year by year in de luding those who were sent to the Cepital from different 'parts of the State into the false position of ap propriating large sums for its devel opment at the public expense, and had it not been that the advisability of making further appropriations had been adversely considered in almost every seotion of the country before the legislature assembled, there is no telling how much more the people of the State would have been forced to bear. Since the entering wedge against further expenditures in this direction has been driven, there is a popular feeling that the State can better afford to loose all she has ap propriated that- which is extremely doubtful, and that we can now with some certainty expect to escapq the canal's meshes through future years. Without fear of successful contra. diction we pronounce the killing of this bill the most practical and economical work so far done by the House.-Barnwell Sentinel. Henry Grady's "New South." It seems that Mr. Grady of the Constitution has made a very suc cessful speech in New York before the New England Society. Mr. Gra dy, doubtless, representing what he calls the cavalier stock of the South, has rejoiced the hearts of the patriot Puritans, or the descendants thereof, in his exaltec picture of the new South that has arisen, "not as a pro. test against the old, but because of new conditions, new adjustments, and, if you please, new ideas and as pirations." it would seem a very ungracious task to pronounce M r. Grady's clever trick of words a sensational humbug. We shall not so pronounce the bright and cheery speech of the Georgia editor, inasmuch as be may, per. chance, have intended this after dinner speech as after all for nothing more than a mere performance meet to the occasion. A s such, It is clever enough. But if Mr. Grady is in ireal earnest in his utterance we wvould suggest to him that it is about time to put away this old myth about t,he Southern cavalier. Where is there any cava lier stock in Georgia or South Caro lina either for the matter of that? That ther-e may hav~e been one or two families that thought themiselves bet ter than the rest of their fellow colo nists may be doubtless true. This, we presume, is what always existed in any society, even though it should have come out of tran1sported1 con victs. Trho tr-uth .remnains, however, that the builders of the Southern States and Southern society were p)lain, hard working men andI women had no more to (10 with the cavau liers than they had to do with thme KCan of Trartary. Look back on the history of any South Carolina or Georgia family and you will find, in nine cases out of ten, if' not ninety nine out of a hundred, honest, hard working, pro. genitors at the root. There was, it Is true, a highly aris tocratic society at the South, and none in any p)art of the wvorld could excel it in all the noblest qualities of a trained and well ordered est ablish ment. But this was a self made aristocracy that grecw up on this side of the water accordling to its own sur roundings and clrcumstances. The stout-hearted colonists as they became possessed of broad acres with tronns of saves andi m th:.. profitable crops of tobacco, rice and indigo changed into lordly proprie tors from thei' humble beginnings. The very responsibilit.y of their lives as the owners of numerous depend. outs made them put on a new social complexion. Many of these planters educated their sons abroad, all. of which tended to soften the manners and quicken the intelligence of the new aristocracy. But it is a known fact that this Southern society never for a moment cottoned to the ol world aristocracy. A nd, hence, when the revolt against the mother country took )lace these very men who had been educated abroad were among the first to resist the British arrogance to the last extrenity. There is no man of any large Southern experience but has rceen this very s')cial growth transpire under his own eyes. lii has seen honest, worthy people beginning from nothing achieve large weali, educate their children and take their place in the more refinled circles of life as the natural result of their suo cess. Well, this was just what trans pired in the early history of these Southern States. There was no cav alier about it. It is true there grew I up in the slave owning class a chivalrous re gard for the' weak and the lowly, which necessarily attachled to their position as the lords of the soil and as masters of other men's lives. There is a certain d(ignity and self control, which fortunat,ely for man kind, nearly always attaches to power. It is a grave hirtorical mistake to call this society an oligarchly, as Mr. Graly would ha\-e it. It was a strong self-made social organization, growing u) to its own necessities, replenished with new men and new families and new made wealth from the beginnillg of the colonial establishment to the hap pening of the war. n It was not ini the natur of thin.s that Southern men and womeli, with all this strong, self-reliant blood in their veins, should have mewed ini a corner over a defeat in arms, for which there was no longer any help. Common sense and the comnnon wants of nature alike demania.l otherwise. It is no marvelous tling, then, that Southe:n lleil ani1d womlenl should have accepted the situation with courage and gone to work as their progenitors before them had done. It is just a well to have this thing put in its true light. for truth is al. ways respectable, tending as it does to self respect among men.---Culum bia Register. General 1-. Y. Fair.
