NEWS AND HERALD. P UBLISHED WEEKLY, -BY WINNSBORO PRINTING CO. J. FRANK FOOSHE, - - - EDITOR TERMS, IN ADVANCE: One Year,........................ $150 Six Months....................... .75 WINNSBOR, S. C. Wednesday, January 15, - 1902 To remain in session for the full forty days is one a'et that the legislacure may be fully depended upon for. The measure before congress providing for a permanent census bureau operating under the civil service reform strikes us as a wise one. The present plan of conducting the census is too slow and wholly inadequate. The supreme court in its deci sion against the constitutionality > ~~-the jury law has struck a de ed blow against special legisla .ton, which has prosen such an evil in the past few years. If our legislators will profit thereby, p.erhaps they may be able to bring the session down to less than forty days. The Lancaster Enterprise comes out this week as a weekly instead of a semi-weekly as for the past t-.'o years. This is the fourth county paper in South Carolina within the past twelve months that-has made a similar change. Only one has made the change from a weekly to a semi-weekly. Theire now remain but eight semi weekly county papers in the State. Several bills looking to the restricting of the State are likely to come up at the present session of the general assembly. We are certainly heartily in favor of some action to this much desired end, especially if other counties are as much out of their natural dis tricts as Fairfield is. There is no logical reason for grouping this agricultural county with Greenville and Spartanburg which are largely manufacturing and which have a population large enough to control the elEcti-F " e district. The t r o F is g .trairfies s man pgress will surely be the c gr~ssman from - (whatever nurx beW it may have) district. Smith of Monticello pape fame has gone out of busines and left several hundred lad' agents throughout the countrj without that $20 per month whiel they were writing to so ma:aiy o~ their lady friends they would surely get. His failure he says is due to the oppositionj he has met with from the press in the past few months. What has happened to Smith and to the Amos Ow~ens Cherry Tree Company, must of necessity happen sooner or :.ater to all the endless chain schemnes, which are being worked in this and neighboring States, and that 'unfortunately through the very *best of women as agents, who seem to lose sight of the fact that, even though they are now getting' their salary, the time is sure to eome' when neither they nor the agents they secure can e wa is due them. For some time the national goverlrment has been making in vestigation of the soil in various \ States witfi a view to produc.i: "atobaejo filler" that woul ec:u 1. It now setms thlat N orth and 'outh Carojjln n , incluted in the list o)f a t.. " isob carried on!. \Veg. acogrowing hsbten rud profitable, we morst bort. .,. dorse the proposed mu'as.u::, Pu we feel sure that here in~ thi' State the governmeut would Iirnd the desired soil, and tliat the to State would be greatly bene-fitted by this inspection of soil, not As only, for the more profitable growing of tobacco, but of many other crops. It is said that th'e experiments would cost about" of territory about one hundred 1i1 miles long and ten miles wide. c*oal .It is oroposed to take a census I in Richiond ceunty so as to eat, ascertain the number of persons / zate liable to poll tax. This is a very li'J fair proposition, but a far better ah plan is to be found in the prac- doi' tice of all the- States in th Kod Union with the exception of six in taking a school census yearly in preference to distributihg the school money on an enrollment basis. In this connection it is well to recall the fact that the State Teacher's Association at its last session passed a resolution calling upon the lesislature to define Enrollment to mean a census of all those within the school age. Such a census does away with the present tedious enrollments, gives no opportunity for double counting, affords no opportunity for adding names to the roll merly for the sake of enrollment, and makes the number of pupils who are entilled to the public funds rather than the number who enroll the basis of distribution. What is better still such a census not only does not cost the district a cent but actual experience in a large majority of the states it has been found that the additional revenue added by the increase in the number of polls more than defrays all ex penses in connection with such a census. Dispensary Sales and Profits. The following statistics have been given by Dispenser Steven son as to the sales and profits of the' local dispensary for the past two years. The figures are given by the months as they reveal something of the financial condi tion of the county, and in a measure explain the cry of hard times, with a great number at least: sales for sales for 1900 1901 Jan....$ 1,817 00 $ 2,411 55 Feb.. .. 1,939 45 2,686 75 Mar...... 1,912 75 2,374 45, April... 1,450 35 1,971 8% May. .. 1,583 75 1,934 June.... 1,694 90 1,90,1 July.... 1,467 45 1,8 90 a Aug. ... 1,687 90 1 n5 20 i Sept ... 2,611 30 S,506 40 Oct. ... 2,557 60 .'2,607 80 Nov. 2,570 90 2,321 75 Dec. ... 4,101 69 3,170 52 -_ _ - _ _ Total.. .$25,394 95 $37,653 17 The net profits for 1901 were $3,816.23 against $3,202.33 for 1900. ween *. . -iiVtf 00- fro tfor 4 an se ay, Mr. W.
