meaning on words u*ed by him on
different occasions, and it would now
j'-cm a iiood idea t'??r him to speak
ihrontfh some interpreter, lite the
minister* to foreigu countries do. For
instance, the use ot the word* "leprosy
'-tamed," and his expressions
at Union about certain Senators or
rather a ccrtain Senator have all had
to be explained by him-in the connection
in which the words or expressions
were n-cd. Most of people do not nse
these w??rds aud expressions to convey

This is commencement season and
N many young men and ladies will be
turned out to battle for suctjess in life.
It is a common saying" that the average
college graduate enters the world with
his spirits buoyant and with beautiful
and fancif ul dreams of how easily it
will be for him to stem the desperate
currents of adversity and how easily
it -will be for him to mount on the
highest peaks of fame from whose
heights he-e^n, by a slight turn of the
Jiand, shape the~^tjn?es of his conn S^
,y try; many will be the air castles built
b>* him during the few week* after his
sheep skin is given him amid the
showers of bouquets from his young
lady friends?castles, too surpassing
in beauty, grandeur and sublimity of
dc*igu those of any kuown age, and in
these castles the little graduate with
his sheep skin under his arm is the
chief personage; he will picture all
sm*ts nf ?scenes attenuated
with the most trying: circumstances iu
which lie is to figure as the chief actor,
and receives, by his being the winner
of a sheep skin, the applaudits of
.multitudes. So he will imagine.
Tin's may be an exaggerated statement
of the frame of mind the average
college graduate enters the world, but,
however that may be, it takes but a
few months to knock all this ephemeral
nonsense out of him.
It is well that he does eijter the
world with such bright hopes; for
when the shock comes, it falls on him
like a thunder stroke and he is so
electrofied with the realizations of life
that he never again allows these
foolish dreams to waste the gray
matter iu his brains.
His education now begins to be of
some service to him: he sees that there
was a purpose in that college training;
he begins to turn it to some-practicable
purposes; he now becomes a useful
citizen, or rather he is in a fair way
to become one.
St is upon our young men that much
of the material grovfrth of the State
depends, both college graduates and
those who have not enjoyed the blessings
of an education?and it is the
duty of those who have the good of
the State at heart to encourage these
young beginners of life, even if it be
only a kind word or a meaning smile
or welcome mro tne ousmess activities
of life. They will appreciate it some
<lav. The voungm&n, >'ou mustrememt
?
ber, has just left the walls of a college
where, there can be 110 doubt of it;
the strongest ties of friendship are
welded: and while there he has been
wont to receive the cheers of his
frieds in his success and their sympathies
in Ms troubles. He misses this {
in the beginning of his carqpr in the j
world and oftentimes feels the want j
of these friends7 advise, cheer and
sympathy, sorely.
It is a matter of regret that too many
of the men in the vigor of young manhood
are leaving the State, and it is
the duty of its citizens to do all in
their power to induce them to remain
among us, and aid in raising the
success of our people to a higher level.

Messrs. Editors: As yonr Buckheai
correspondent has been silent for somi
! time, and having retnovedXo ibisplaee
will now weaiy you with a brief lei te
which I hope will be read by a few o
vour manv subscribers.
Goeenville is at present one of th<
fastest growing ciiirs in the South au<

September, a dummy line io the top o
Paris Mountain, which will convey
passengers to ami fro from the city
and among others facilities to enhana
the value ot real estate, which at pres
en is quite valuable. I hear of lam
three miles from the city selling foi
$400 per acre, and within ti e corpo

we would have ihe greatest freigh
facilities of any town in the State. ,
Another political campaign has burs
its mighty shell amongst us, and i
seems that a leader with a venom
tongue and talons ot the great Ameri
can Eagle is at its head. This grea
"relorraei" is certainly egotism per
sonified. It has been said, "Ttioi
shalt not bear false witness against thj
neighbor. This is not "in keeping'
with the sentiments of the "little bun
tarn" speech here on the 10th inst. A
lew vulgar anecdotes and a venomous
tirade agaiust the "ring" was rcrbutin
et liberal um of the "masterly" perforation
of this great and philanthropic
"statesman" Mr. B. R. Tillman. Several
ladies went away from this meeting
in disgust.
There will be racing at the Sans
Souci Driving Park on the 4th of July.
J&*ting three days. Several entries
have been made, and everything tt
make these da)s of sport pleasant and
attractive will be done. Mr. B. F,
Perrv, the owner of the park, has pul
the track in first-class condition and it
is said to be one of the finest in the
South. I am glad to see the names ol
Crown Prince and Thornless on entra

record.

j Messrs. Editors: If I were ever ^
! determined to do any thing, I now feil 1
j equally determined to write more frei
quently for The Herald. And 1
while I say this, I know that promises j
j unfulfilled are worse than no promises. <
But the demonstration of this one will (
supply more than usual either for the
paper or the waste basket, as your *
taste may suggest; in either of which
I shall endorse your choice. But I !
must make a transition from these !
prefatory thoughts, and write about
something, or else my letter -will be :
like sermons we sometimes hear, with '
a big introduction, but a very ltitlo '
sermon, or a big- portico, with a small j
house stuck behind. i
The first thing on docket up here is j
the weather. Well, it is simply, and '
to all intents and purposes, unmiti- i
gably hoi. But whether I made this <
' last adverb or not, the thermometer, 1
of late, ranges about the middle of j
p. m. from 92 to 94 in shade. ,
I am living this year in Newberry,
but hardly a mile from the Laurens 1
line; half my Work is in Laurens, the
other half in Newberry. As to the ,
.crops, the wheat crop has proved to .
be very light, so -with fall oats, but
the spring oats have turned out finely, '
in fact far beyond all expectation.

. Our people plant a great deal of corn.
Some of our farmers have not got out .
of the grass yet, but like the celebrated
school teacher, Ignoramus, when asked
: by the school committee whether he
had been through the arithmetic, replied
he had gone far enough to see
| through.
' As to politics things are quiet, but
as indicative of the situation I will say
i our people on the Laurens side recently
organized a Democratic club of seventyr
seven members, seventy Tillman and
; seven anti-Tillman men* the anti-Till

County Convention. Now Messrs.
I Editors, you must not blame me for
this, for I had nothing in the world to
. do with it. I believe most of our
. people up here tlimk that the combined
. efforts to break Tillman down does not
' arise so much from the outs trying to
, get in, as from the "ins" trying to
, stay in. I-believe that the opposition
. to Tillmau is now gaining friends for
. him. Some of our people cannot see
why a., democrat should be broken
down by democrats when the Tillman
men will vote for the nominee of the
? September Convention whoever he
may be.
I On Mondav 16th inst., I wpnt up to
[ Greenville, for a few days rest, as I
1 had been somewhat broken down
^ both mentally and physically, and re*
mained until the commencement
^ exercises of both of our colleges were
I over. The Female College gave
diplomas to twenty-two young ladies,
' one of them, Miss Ladie Manly, was
j especially distinguished by taking a
post-graduate course for the past two
' .years, and received the degree of A.
1 M.
The calisthenic exercises, in which
forty young ladies were engaged at
c the same time, was not only beautiful,
but as appeared to me," absolutely
perfect. I doubt whether any soldiers
were ever so thoroughly drilled m the
manual of arms, &c, as these young
ladies were in the various exercises in
. which they were engaged. Every
step, every movement was in exact
} time to the soft and mellow tones of
B the piano. Some new exercises were
introduced, the last I think was too
? severe for girls generally, or perhaps I
r should say they were kept on the floor
f. too long. One of the young ladies,
(a member of one of my 'churches) sat
near me when it was over, I observed

> Messrs. Editois: As I am one of ilie
. "perjured Senator*," %ud interested in
l their vindication, d? me the kindness
! and justice to publish the following
\ article on the subject of census pre.
pared by .Senators Buist and Srnvthe.
T. W. Woodward.
To the Editor of the New sand Courier:
Capt. Tillman has on several occasions
} seen fit to denounce those members of
i the State Sonate who voted against the
5 census and reapportionment bills. We
> have wailed to see whether any one,
' other than ourselves, would give the
reasons for snch action. We are unt
willing longer to have such reasons
I unstated, especially in view of ihe
recent attack on that upright soldier
: and gentleman, Judge Izlar, whose
' pusitiou necessarily forces him to keep
; silence.
THE FACTS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
The General Statutes of the State
r eoutained and now contain the general
| provisions for taking the census.
' About two ?r three days before the j
clrse of the session of 1881 a bill came ,
over from the House to the Senate, ]
amending in certain particulars the '
general law; on the subject of the cen- 1
1 sus principally as to the rate per capita i
! to be paid, and in other minor points. (
While, however, it left the duty on the
Governor of having an enumeration
made, neither this bill nor the general
law appropriated any money to enable
him to hay?the work done. The bill, !
' therefor^, as ft passed the House, was <
incomplete, afod would have effected 3
no result. ,
On inquiry it was ascertained that
the probable expense of a State ceusus *
would amount to some $50,000 or <
$60,000. This was the estimate made j
by careful men, who we supposed to {
Kn ?n o nAeitiAM t-/% tllAW
l/V AH U? ^VCIVIVII I.V St?lV 1?
The majority of the Senators, nearly 1
. all ot whose comities were unaffected <
yby theiresult, did not foci justified in
"putting upon the people this heavy y
(expense. And as the House, which
j was the body, whose membership was )
J in question, "had not deemed it proper i
i
/
^ I
to take the respansibility of making
-he appropriation necessary lor the
!7?rK, these Senators, acting on the
3iil sent them by the Ilonse, rejected it. 1
The counties whose representation
?rould be 'affected by the census were
ibont t-ouallv divided. The verv large
uajotitvof fhe Senators were entirely
liainte rested, as it did not affect their
counties it any way. A majority of
:hese disinterested Senators vuted
ijjainst the bill, and by their votes it
whs defeated.
In 1835 the amendment to the Constitution
was proposed, allowing reap[>ortionmeut
on the basis the United
States census ?f 1890 and thereafter,
rhis was adopted by the vote of every
Senator present except one, Mr. Reynolds,
ot Beaufort. It was proposed
ind passed as a fulfilment ot the
.juirements ot' the Constitution providing
for reapportionment, but as saying
the taxpayers of the State the heavy
sxpense of taking the census by the
State.
At the same session, 188o, the House
igain sent over a bill ior taking tue
:ensu<* by the State authorities. But
is the amendment to the Constitution
had b?en passed providing the other
method for reapportionment, as a
measure of economy to the State, the
Senate did not feel called on to pass
this bill.
There was another seriobs objection,
to wit: Whether an extra session oi
the Legislature could legally be called
to reapportion in time for the election
in the fall of 188G. This had due consideration.
But that which determined
the matter was that another
method for reapportionment had been
provided, by which the taxpayers
were saved some $50,000 or $60,000.
The matter then came before the
people of the State at the general election
in 1886, when this amendment
was submitted for their decision. It
was adopted by an overwhelming
popular vote. The people of the State
thereby ratified and approved the acf5r?r?
nf the T,pcrislfttnr<? in substituting
vw" kMW -"O- ?rthis
means of reapportionment, and
saving them the heavy tax and expense
of taking the census by the State.
And the people themselves having tlms
acted ou the question, it was settled
finally.
During the session of 1886 the bill to
ratify this constitutional amendment
came before the Senate. It was passed
Kb tho irnfo r?f ?*prv XfMlfttnr CXCeOt
w ~ 1
one.
In 1887 and again in 1888 bills were
introduced into the Senate to reapportion
on the basis of the ceusu* of
1880. These were opposed as not being
within the scope of the amendment,
which provided that the fir*t reapportionment
should be made under
the census of 1890. There were also
practical difficulties, as for instance
with Charleston County, which had
been divided since that census into
Charleston and Berkeley. This prevented
any accurate or proper reapportionment
on the basis of the census
of 1880. The Senate, therefore, by a
majority, rejected the bills.
This if a simple statement of the
case. We do not propose to indulge
in ? n turn rsprjitfi Iftmnifttre or to be
... J ... 37-7- drawn
into vituperation or recrimination.
We desire solely to give the
reasons which governed the Senate in
its action.
