THE NEWS AND HERALD. WJLNNSBOKO; S. C. P. Jf. BEICE, ) > Proprietors. J. (J. JJA. / JL5 . I P. M. BRICE, ' : : : : Editor. \TEDNE5BAY, JANUARY 11, : : : 1SSS. Already there have been introduced over nine hundred bills in Congress upon almost every conceivable subject?from a national horse-trainer to the admission of territories and reducing the tariff. The matter of a postal telegraph has received much discussion, but it is not probable that Congress will take any action at this session. There are too many back questions that they must decide before they go into this. But it is a scheme which meets with general approval, and sooner or later it will come. There has been some talk of JRepubiicans introducing a tariff bill and getting the credit of reducing the burden of taxation. Senator Sherman, a leading candidate for the Presidency, dispelled this idea when in the Senat; he stood squarely up for protection. This shows where they stand, and it remains to the Democrats to dance to the music. Notwithstanding some opposition to Mr. Cleveland at the beginning of his administration, Democratic unanimity "for him now is surprising. There wiU be no opposition to him. 'Mr. Blaine seems to be the candidate of the majority of his party, but his nomination is doubtful, more on account of his defeat than anything else. In the meantime John Sherman has both eves open. The Baltimore Manufactures' Hecord, in its trade review, states that "a cotton factory is again being agitated in "VVinnsboro." There is some truth in this, but not as much as could be desired. The News axd Hekald, as far as we know, has been the only agitator of this subject, as thus far the Record is correct. Unless the people of the town and county take up this matter it will end as it began?in agitation. The people of Sumter have held an indignation meeting, caused by the deplorable shooting at that place. The resolutions adopted deplored lawlessness and the carrying of concealed weapons, and called upon the jury to be fearless in the discharge of their whole duty. These resolutions have the right ring about them and show that such crimes will not be cnuiitcnarced by the good people of South Carolina. There is a great strike on the ReadingRailroad in Pennsylvania. Grand Master Workman Powderly blames . the workmen for not submitting to the reduction in wages which was agreed upon in September. This strike shows how serious a matter it is for these sfritrps to ar.mr. Tn ftvftrv casc-itia. a. 7 pubilc'calamity, and especially in this one, when the price of coal has been put almost beyond the reach of poor people ot the Xortb. Mk. Lamar, at this writing, has not been confirmed by the Senate for the Supreme bench. Sherman and his crowd are opposed to him, and as far as Known meir oppu&iuuu iy mm vu account of bis being a Southerner. Tbis is in keeping with Sherman's bloody-shirt campaign, but we don't believe the country will sustain the reopening of sectional issaes. Mr. Lamar deserves confirmation and will doubtless receive it. The people of Columbia will soon be called upon to vote whether the city of Columbia shall gua?antee the interest on the Canal bonds authorized by the last Legislature. The city cannot afford to stand still in the matter, and we believe it will not. The largest taxpayers are heart and soul for the guarantee and the result cannot bedoubtful. With the canal Columbia will be on the high road to her proper position?one of the leading cities in the South. Gen. Sherman will not consent to be used in the Republican emergency. A committee has visited him asking him to accept a nomination for the Presidency. He refused and said: "I will be as public-spirited about it as Artemus "Ward was about the war. * ' n .1 . V i _ _ J5__ .1 Artemas saia tne oioouy war fuuuiu be prosecuted even if it took the last one of his wife's relations to do it. If the Republicans want a candidate there is my brother, John Sherman. If the ^Democrats want one there is my brother-in-law. Tom Ewing." &The recent Ivnchiug in Pickens county of a white man by a party of negroes should cause these who advocate this method of punishing crime to pause and reflect. /The highest aim of i government is the guarantee of per- j sonal liberty to its citizens. This can ! best be given by invoking the aid of j the Courts. This legal machine may j be cumbersome and tardy of justice, j * but it is constructed out of the cxpe-1 riences of the past by the wisdom of j centnries. Its very deliberation is a ; powerful safeguard to the citizen; against the violence of passion and I the prejudices of ignorance. It is estimated that since 18S0 the South has been producing less cotton to the acre than before that time. This decrease is said to be owing to the practice of farmers in selling their cotton seed to oil miiis.?Laurens Advertiser. We have seen this statement before, but we attributed it to a different cause. We supposed that farmers had i concluded that cotton was not king ' and had gone to raising more hog and i hominy than before. We think this j is the most plausible explanation" of i the matter. The farmers begin to see j that cotton is not the sine qua non of j success, and we believe that the more I this is shown to them the less will cotton be raised. We are not practical farmers, but we don't think it I takes a man with four eyes to see that more hsg- and less cotton is the salvation of the farmers. j British Gold. The Manufacturers' Record is pro-! tectionist through and through. lu j its latest issue it has a long article on ! the tariff the text of which is British gold. This has always been a favorite theme with protectionists They talk as if every low tariff man is only so I on account of British gold being brought to bear on him. At least the Record thinks that British gold has much to do with the tariff agitation in this country. We have been hearing of British gold a long time, but we have never seen the man who got any of it. We have heard of newspapers being subsidized by British gold, but we never yet have seen the name of such papers. "When protectionists make such charges they should come down to facts and not content themselves with glittering generalities. Protectionists are much mistaken when they charge British gold with responsibility for the cry for a lcwer tariff. It goes deeper than that. It is the cry of heavily burdened taxpayers for relief. The Board of Agriculture. The last Legislature was guilty of an unfortunate error. The law which changed the composition of the Board of Agriculture had not become a law. when an election of members was entered into. This then makes such an election void. The intention of legislators was evidently that these officers should serve under the new law, but in their haste they went too fast. As the matter stands now, however, the old board will hold over until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Some of our contemporaries are disposed to be severe upon members for this hasty way of doing thing?. T- i~ 1:1?? XII nil icy iSIiltlUll UCllUCiaLlUll cuuum be the rule, of course, but we are not disposed to be too heavy on the Legislature. In the great mass of public and private bills introduced during a session-it would be surprising if some oversight was not made. In the present instance the oversight while unfortunate leads to no serious results, as we still have a Board of Agriculture. At the same time great care should be taken in legislation, especially when some oversight of this nature might lead to unfortunate results. Lamar Xot Anxious. The Republican members of the New York Legislature say that "the safety of our institution ond the proper administration of our laws" are endangered by the nomination of Mr. T.omot. frA fl>o Rnnromo pAnrf HPhp I IV llUV >wU^*VMlv % ?...v Republican Senators postponed consideration of his nomination to enable outside pressure to be brought to bear upon any of their members who were friendly to his confirmation. Mr. Evarts, of New York, who is, it is believed, favorable to Lamar, will doubtless s tan<TagaXiTs! h 101,"" according to the instructions of his party. Mr. Sawyer, Republican, of Wisconsin, has expressed himself as being favorable to Mr. Lamar. He is independent in his views and will probably stick to him. Mr. Mitchell, of Oregon, a Republican, will probably kick out of part}* harness for the reason that he was elected by combined JDem1 ocratic and Republican votes. It is said that the Ohio Legislature | will come out against Mr. Lamar, and j it is a curious met that Senator Payne, | Democrat, from that State, is willing * to vote against his confirmation in. obedience to the wish of his constituents?that is the Ohio Legislature. The Republicans hope that by delay they may be enabled to do something in their own favor, but in the meantime Mr. Lamar is enjoying his usual good health, aud he doesn't think that he can be defeated on the line of attack which his opponents have chosen. They Don't jOo It. The Newberry Herald and News, in commenting upon the Sumter tragedy, says: "The pistol will be ever ready as long as the habit of carrying it is sanctioned by public sentiment. And it will be so sanctioned as long as the men who are leaders in politics and thought continue to carry pistols with impunitj*." That public sentiment has not yet been educated to the point of condemning the carrying of concealed { deadly weapons no one will deny, but1 it must be admitted that in South Carolina this condemnatory sentiment has taken a fast hold, and it is only a question of time when it will bring forth greater results. WT r%. i Pen r\ TTM f- h AT!!' nATifomnA ITV^ IUO.V is>c U. V ?? JLCIA VWi wuwuiyvrarv when it states that "our leaders iu politics and thought continue to carry pistols with impunity." We believe this statement both incorrect and unjust. Our "leaders in politics and thought," so far as we know, have been the very persons to first take up this matter, and they are the ones who have done most to create what public sentiment there is against this practice. "We believe the very reason that we seldom hear of meD of vrominence being tried for this offense is because they practice what they preach and tt?alnfa loxr TliOV/* O py. SCiUUUi yiuiavb at* >r. xuwv w v?. ceptionsto all rules, of course, but as a class the leaders of politics 'and thought in South Carolina are a lawabiding and law-loving bod/ and are not guilty of carrying pistols habitually as charged. Brace Up. You are feeling depressed, your appetite is poor, you are bothered with Headache, you are fidgetty, nervous, and generally out of sorts, and want to brace up. Brace up, but not with stimulants, spring medicines, or bitters, which have for their basis very cheap, bad whiskey, and "which stimulate you for an hour, arid then leave you in worse condition than before. What you want is an alterative that will purify your blood, start healthy action of Liver and Kidneys, restore your vitality, and give renewed health and strength." Such a medicine you will find in Electric Bitters, and onlv 50 cents a bottle at 31cMaster, Brice & Setchin's Drag Store. * ? ^ n i -f \o Canxe for Alarm. The agents of various railroads leading to the "West hare again been going through the country persuading negroes to leave their homes and go to Arkansas and other Western States, i Over two hundred left Anderson recently. These large migrations 'of colored peopie have been the source j of much alarm to the planters of this State. We can see no cause for apprehension. The truth might as well be spoken outright about this matter. It would be infinitely better for this State if they would leave in large numbers, for. in their place while settlers would come. So long as we have such an overwhelming majority of colored people in our midst, we can never hope to induce white immigration to any large extent, and this is what we want to keep South Carolina up in the procession of progress uow going on in the South. With a white laboring population wages would be increased, but this would be amply set off by increased valuation in lands ana other property. If the negroes should leave it would go hard at first with the white people who have been accustomed to having everything done for them by negroes. Dnt we could soon adapt ourselves to circumstances, and with a white population South Carolina, instead of dragging along at a slow pace, would soon assume her rightful position as one of the richest Stales in the Union. Nature ha* been lavish in her gifts to her, and these gifts need only the quickening influence of a large Anglo-Saxon population to bring them to their full capacity. A Threatened Boycott. The Jackson's Creek Farmers''Club, on the 27th December,. 1887, passed a series of resolutions, which we publish in this issue. These resolutions,.: with one exception, express their wishes in reference to the administration of the affairs of the government., * * 11 -? *- * tn /In woicn nicy un\ u it pui icui/ i i^iio lv uv. With this right we take no issue with them. The fourth resolution reads as follows : That it is not our intention, as farmers here assembled, to antagonize ourselves against any person or class of persons. And then at the close they say ''that if in future any such uncalled for attack be made upon any member or upon our society by the press of the county and State .we pledge ourselves ' to at once discontinue our subscription to said paper." It will be noticed that they say they don-'t propose to antagonize any person or class of persons, yet they say if any member of the society or the society itself be attacked by the press, then they will antagonize it to the extent of stopping their subscription. We are certain that the intelligent j farmers of Fairfield will never en-; dorse auv such dictato.ial action as, j this. If the movement, of which tins i Club forms a part, is right, honest and ! open criticism or antagonism cannot: : btirt It.?On-tfce contrary such criti- j or>/} will onlv brinof i j WOUi Ctuu Mi.uwM^W4Vu .? >*. - ? j | out the good points of the movement if it has any. But that is*neitker here nor there. We wish to say to the members ot the Club that the press of the county j or State will not ''attack" any mem-! ber "We know of no member of; this Club that the press of the j county or State has the remotest idea - of "attacking." The society, too, will i be free from "attack" as long as it} conducts itself wi*' out detriment to the ; public good. But if the members or ; the society in any action which affects j the public shall do anything which j the press believes wrong, we tell them plainly that they will have to be like other ordinary mortals?subject to "attack," unless they can indeed show j some special reason why they should ! not be "attacked." We "do not hesitate to say that our j subscribers and friends of the Jack-1 son's Creek Club need have no apprc- j bension that we will wantonly insult j any of its members. Ox* in fact any- j body else, but in all questions a fleeting.the public policy or welfare of the county and State we will fearlessly express our opinion, discussing them entirely upon their merits, regardless of the source Irom which I they may come. . Taxpayers vs. Tax-Dotlsert;. The taxpayers of the State who promptly contribute their proportion j of the funds necessary for the support j of the government will doubtless be J glad to learn that among many other commendable acts tho last Legislature passed a bill providing for the more etFective enforcement of the laws against tax-dodgers. f-AmntrniiPr Onnerai Stonev. than VVUl^W* v*.v. v. -?? t whom the State has had no more i'aithful officer, again and again callcd tne attention of our law-makers to the corapiicatcd, inconsistent and ambigu-! ons laws relating to ihe enforcement of the collection of taxes due on real estate. Governors Thompson, Sheppard and Richardson have also in their messages recommended the enactment of better tax laws, and Governor Thompson appointed a commission to prepare and report to the Legislature a plan for the collection of taxes. Form er Legislatures have failed to respond to these suggestions. From the Senate of the last Legislature, however, there evolved two bills relating to the sale of delinquent lands. One of these bills vras introduced by Senator Murray, of Anderson, and the other by Senator Patterson, of Chester. Both measures passed the Senate and came up in the House as companion bills. The Murray bill provided for a judicial and consequently conclusive sale of lands delinquent to the State. Under this method the sale would be absolute, having been ordered by the Court, a feature which will always insare bidders. The absence of bidders at tax sales is the cause of our enormous forfeited land list. The Murray bill was indefinitely MMi 1 i "r [ | postponed and the Patterson, bill became the law of the land. The sherhTs will now sell and collect the taxes due on delinquent real estate, unci the defaulting taxpayer is allowed two years in which to commence action for recovery. Immediately after the s-io the sherill will put the purchaser ::i possession of the land 5-ilJ, nr.:! after applying; a sufficient amount to the taxes and costs, pay the ixiian -a of iho proceeds of the sale to 'the de huitiag taxpayer, i j It is to be honed i 1 .t under the! operation of the new law ;-.x-dodging { will be a tiling of the past and every J foot of land be made to bear it-* J:ist i proportion of the burden ?'?f the gov-! crnment. We are pro ad to say that liicre is ::ot! a single tax-payer in Fairfield comity who has taken advantage of the inefficiency of the tax laws, but In the name of fairness and Jn=*lcc we insist that those who have not patriotism enough to contribute voluntarily their quota to the necessities of the State br made to do so. There is due the Slate the enormous j sani f -i;390,000 by ;he owners of r..nl j ! estate who have not paid their taxes J i?some of them for years?and It is' 1 fair to presume that this .mm has been ; ! made good by the other taxpayers. i ; The State has the right to require a j i support at the hands t~ J-.er j-itizens, i j.but the citizens have the'right !o ac- j I inand that that Mii - support bo levied i ' .and collected fairly and impartially. ova excjiang:: I (Pet Dee Index..) j It is a humiliating confession but no j I one will deny that our laws are inad! equate simply because public semii merit does not -sustain and enforce : them. Our laws are as good as those ! of any land but our people are neither ! as law-loving nor law-abiding as they j should be. The.laws mast be strictly ; enforced or they wilt - cc-ase to be any i j protection, to society. Every viola-1 ! tion "of law that i? allowed to pass un-1 ! punished is simply paving the way to i I more flagrant violations in the future. The protection of the life and property j of every individual in the State dc-: inands a stricter enforcement c-f -he i ; law. An example must be made at' j some time ar.d the interests of the j ; State will be served by making that j example before too many lives are sacrificed at Ike altar of passion, pre-1 jr.dice and hate. (CJuirlotle Hornet.') ; Stop this practice of carrying con : coaled deadly weapons. Punish severe- j | ly every peosons who violates the law, ! and impose the penalty of the law, j without regard to any personal or I local considerations, upon those who i die their hands in the b'ood of their j fellows. Then pistol practice will ! become less frequent; lawlessness will ' be driven c ut of the land, and public opinion will see that it never returns. ( Carolina Spnrlan.) ; Ir is reported that a weak-minded white man was lynched by negroes near Central on Saturday, 'i'i.o man had committed an outrageous assault 0!i a colored woman and had been ; arrested when he was taken from the sheriff by r.Iic mob.
