In other words none but property owners should be allowed to vote. We would favor an election of the Board by the qua li- ', fied voters, but not by a genera) vote. We should prefer the election of the member? of ; the Board by the City Council to a popular election. In the first case those who bear the ourden* would naine tho?e lo u?an?|e the ex pecditure of .the money levied.

Last year the oil mills ! ?ade money, but this year tbe prospect is not good as the packers of Chicago are said j to bare cornered the cotton oil market. I A CARD. ID tile interest of fair play and for the information of the public, it has bee? deemed advisable by those of us ! who were members of the Board when ! the amended Act was passed, that the ? fol lowing should be published in order that all the facts might be known be- ? fore such action is taken as is contem plated in the petition recently circu- | lated in the community, relating to j proposed changes in the law of this j school district. On May 30,188!*, a public meeting was daly convened in "Music 'Hall," at which was read the Act of the General Assembly constituting the City of Sumter a separate School District, and authorizing the levy of a special school tax not to exceed two (2) mills, for the j carrying: on of a public school system ; in this city. A Board of Commission ers was also elected in pursuance of the provisions of the Act, and a levy I of two mills was voted for the purposes : stated. This Board was composed of j the Hon. J. A. Mood, Mayor, and the j R?vs. C. C. Brown ami John Kershaw, j K. D, Lee, Esq., and Altamont Moses, Esq. The Act provided that the I Mayor of. the City should always be j ex officio a member of the Board. The Board organized and proceeded j to discharge the duties of their office. ! The next year, in accordance with j the provisions of the Act, on May 29th, ! 1890; a second public meeting was held. I the same tax levied, and the old Board re-elected. The only change being j that .the, Hon. K. ?... Purdy as Mayor ! tjfcofc the p?a?j? Yacate>d;^by the. Hon. J. f ?YMood, whose term had expired. The "next year, a t hird pu blic meet- J and believe, nirte (9) persons were i present, two of them being members j of the School Board, another being the \ Mayor and still another being the j Clerk and Treasurer of the city, who j was also Clerk oft the School Board, j The same tax as before was levied, and : the old Board re-elected. ; It then became manifest to the j Board that some action was necessary ? to avoid the possibility of the failure ? to have the annual meeting of citizens j to vote the special school tax and elect ; the Board. It was evident that the j citizens were satisfied with the mau- j ner in which the Board had disci., g- j ed their duties, but it was also plain that the Act under which they were j operated required amendment in j several particulars, viz : * 1st. If the annual meeting should ? for any cause fail to be held, and the J tax voted, the city schools would j necessarily be compelled to close for a j year. 2nd. If the annual meetings con- j tinued to be as small as that of 1891, (as was likely to be the case, judging j by the rapidly diminishing numbers ; that had attended those of 1890 and j 1891,) a few men opposed to the con- ? tinuance of the school could easily j come in and capture the meeting, and ! vote down the tax for tbe ensuing \ school year. 3rd. For the same reason a few men j might at such a meeting, vote to place on the Board incompetent, or other? wise objectionable persons, who could j not be removed until the expiration of their year of service. 4th. No provision existed in the Act : referred to for filling vacancies in the Board, should those elected decline to serve, because there was no provision for any but the one meeting, at which ! the tax must be levied and the Board, j elected. 5th. It was believed that it would be j best for the interests of the school to ; have on the Board at least two mern-' hers who should hold over from a pre- j vious term of service, rather than that i an entirely new Board should be elect? ed every year, all of whom would be wholly unfamiliar with the matters entrusted to them. Accordingly there was prepared and ! submitted to the Board in the fall of ? 1891. the amended Act under which j the Board bas been working since i Dec. 1891 and which was passed by the General Assembly at that time. By tlie provisions of this Act, ; authority was confered on the Board to levy the same tax, not to exceed two mills, and rotation in office, (a prime principle of republican govern? ment,) was provided for in the retire? ment annually of two members of the Board, whose places should be filled by the election of two others by the three members holding over, viz : the Mayor, and two others. Under the Act as ameuded, Messrs. , Lee and Kershaw were retired in Juue ? 1892, and Messrs. H. P. Wilson and Joel E. Brimson were elected in their ? stead. Mr. Wilson declined to serve, j having just become a co-principal of j the Sumter Institute. The Board then elected B. O. Purdy, Esq., in his stead.! This could not have been dont? under the terms of the former Act. In May ?1893,. Messrs. Brown and Purdy retired, and Messrs. J. A. Mood and W. F. Kliam? were elected in their stead, and are now serving. This constitutes a succinct history ; of the whole subject, except in one particular, viz : the power to bond the j School District. But as every one knows, who is at all familiar with this ; branch of the subject, this matter was \ submitted to the people at the polls, ; and they voted for the issuing of the bonds, the Board acting simply as their agents and representatives.; These bonds were for the erection and j furnishing ot' the school building on j Monumental Square, and for repairs ; and additions to the colored school \ house. The amended Act was published in ,' full in the Watchman and Southron of Dec. 30,1891, and the fact that such a bill had been introduced by Mr. Moses into the House of Representatives, was also published in tho same paper in its issue of Dec. 2nd, of that year. The amazing assault upon local self government which it is alleged has been committed by the passage of the amended Act, and is now held up as a recent discovery, as if its terms and provisions had been carefully conceal? ed from the people for the last two years, has been borne by them with surprising calmness they having quietly acquiesced in it forthat length of time, having seen the Boards elect? ed twice under its provisions, and having not resisted the taxes levied by the two Boards so elected. If reference is made to the School Law of-the Sute, Gen. Statutes, Title ix, Chapter xix, Sec. 1009, it will be seen that the School Trustees in every school district in the State are appoint? ed by the Couoty Board of Examiners. These County Boards are appointed by the State Board, which itself is also appointed. They are also authorized 1 and empowered to till-all. vacancies in Boards of Trustees. These Trustees hold their offices for two years and until their successors are appointed. The County Board of Examiners like wise; has: -p()w1pr ito remove School Trustees at.their j^easurei;/ - . | The- SchOol ^cmimissi?ners of this S^hdw, p^sirict^are only .Trustees; wij? special powers' "conferred upon them", but compared with the power of County Boards of Examiners theirs are very iffuch .

The honors, rewards, an#emoliMj ments of the office haye never been } such as to create any great desire to j possess thenyin the parjr^ of members^L who have^J&lway.s^eji^ced-^ able alacrity tb? make way f|f^pf| blood," even*%?fore "*t?fe desire "for" it f found expression. That the citizens, if they so desire, should have the right to elect the Board^ and levy the tax, is indisputable," I and none, so far as we know, are. or hate been disposed to dispute, deny, or abridge tfiat right, except ior' the j reasons^ahd in the manlier stated. | |i r If the Board erred iii jugdment* irt^' procuring the passage of the amended ? act whereby this right" became vested ; in them, it surely does not justify the i inference that it wasdone fromtans ulter i rior or censurable motive, but only aud j solely for the reasons given? The few f men in this city at whose instance, as [ alleged, the amended act was submit ted to the General .assembly, and by ! it passed and approved by the Execu? tive, not withstanding- its alleged dan? gerous, destructive, and oligarchical j character, are wiH?ng that their fellow- ; citizens should differ in opinion from them, and question a'ud even condemn, the expediency of their action, but they make their appeal to all fair mind ed men whether they deserve the harsh and prejudicial criticism that bas j recently been uttered against them. Having nothing to conceal, they cheer- j fully submit their actions and motives to the discriminating judgment of j those who for three successive years ; continued them in office, thereby prov- : ingtheir confidence in and approval ] of them. As to their action in arrang- . ing for the annual levy of the special tax, and for the method of rotation and succession of members of the ; Board, as provided for by the amended Act 18^1, they are .willing to. s u bm i t i t... to the verdict of the community in the time to come, and especially if the whole%atter is to beth row n into poli- . tics, ai^su^^^^^>^he arbitrament j Constipatioi?.is thc parent of%in nu mera h le diseases, M od should, therefore, he piomptly remed ed by tHru? of<j^j^*CiiihHrtie Pills.
