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

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:
