It will! * ; be remembered that on one occasion a ;3 | boon companion of Henry v. or. J England, (irho was then Prince if j1 t Wale?) rr:i5 brought before the Judge j S 1 and tvan sentenced, whereupon th? , * | Prince madea disturbance. The Judge j* j immediately ordered him under arrest.! J i The Prince, seeing- the impropriety of | * his conduct, acknowledged his fault j ' | and made submission, thus setting an 11 | example that worth much to the j ^ j dignitr and safety of the realra. Nut ^ j even the king is ab*>re ih? lavr. il i? ' i only through a scrupulous adherence ! to law and obedience t? it that, a country can hope to prosper. It may i * be said that these remarks are needless. f But people sometimes acquiesce in ! i words to a self-evident proposition * | and do violence to it in their conduct. 1 j If the judges are fccld io cheap esteem ' j our liberties are gone. j = i Tup SpriMtp will t>ar Mr. Davidson | , | SI,200 for expenses in contesting the i ! seat of Senator Call of Florida. If it t | were not the custom of reimbursing f j defeated contestants, it would be well t j to refuse payment in this case. It t j will b8 remembered that the opponents t J of Mr. Call refused to go into the joint ( assembly when it became apparent 1 that he wonld be elected. Seventeen ( 1 senators staid away, but fifteen Sled j J into the house aid voted. The Gorer- : j nor and others held mat me rannrc 10 i ' | have a quorum of the Senate vitiated j t I the election; though anyoneunbiassed I | couM see in a series of such eas?.?, j 1 ! since 1^86. the Senate had uniform)* t j seated the candidate hariaj a majority ? of the joint vote regardless of the quo- < rum of each house separately. It is i held that the joint assembly is a dif- i 4 ferent body from the two houses taken I separately, and it i? well known that ( the law on ihe subject was mads to 1 prevent deadlocks. Notwithstanding 1 all this Mr. Davidson made a fight and t received not a single vota. Call wa? : ] seated unanimously. The 91,200 mar 3 be a salve to the wonnds ?f the c?ntcstaat, but it is hardly warranted. (t Week before last the exports from * j Chariest? 11 were ?rer $?00,000, and t } the imports about $12,000. This shows { hew the tarifl works. In a system ?f j free trade erreciprocity with England, (thefarmers wouid be able to bring back full value of these export*. Bni ; novr almost half of that cetten wenld s be confiscated by the custom liens* ' officials before it get back iu the shape 8 ef geods. As it is, the farmer get his a menev, and is compelled to bur a i much less quantity of goods frera the c North, than he could import from ^ abroad. Mr. J. M. Elliott, in a con- 1 rersatien the other daj put the thing ; | in a nutshell when ho said it is not a * question of moner, but of goods; and L I if thfi farmer sold the same amount of j * cettoa in Liverpool and in Boston, the f1 bcx of goods brought back from the |former would be almost twice as big 1 as that brought from the latter. Vol- a umes might be written on the subject a without adding a jot io the above state- * ment. And anrbedr can understand 11 it. Cotton at six centi would bring 11 as much in return under free trade a* L ten cents under the tariff. Maybe that 0 is at the bottom of our trouble, in spite a ] of eloquent speeches to the contrjirj. 0 i? A.I t Apostles of the tarm amy mat . par the difference between whole duty T ; and none at all. In some things this s may be true. But bo one who looks s iuto the matter will doubt for a mo- r raent that much of this alleged cheapcuing is brought about by a decided <] inferiority in the goods offered. Com- ji pare an English cassimere with Anieri- a can goods of the same grade. Com- ^ pare the rubber goods of today with j those ef a generation ago. A mer- e chant in a neighboring cilr sars that x he has already began to detect inferior t wool and hair in carpets of the same T price as existed before Mr. McKinley c undertook to legislate a fortuue iuto c prarrbodr's Docket. A teacher some * time ago wished some trail maps, and t was delighted to see that they ware t much cheaper ihan ther had baen ? before. On ordering them, however, j. he discovered that the new set were p not varnished, while the eld set were, v and that the spring rollers had not 0 half the elasticity. These are sample ^ cases. Ther teach a useful lesson. c Shall We jSot 5 t An appeal to the citizens of Sonth r Carolina by the Columbia Board of c Trade is published this morning.

But I hope all men however humble or i xalted their sphere in life may be will t rcrremember that, the prosperity of c nv people and the preservation of c heir institutions depends upon the t 7-isdom, patriotism and forbearance t if their public officials aided by the 3 o-*perati#n of their constituents, j Yanklin has truly said ;ake care of 1 mall things and the large ones vril t ake caro of thtmseires, and that i heorv holds good with regard to our t itato'and County expenses, especially f n this and many other Counties. That c ieing the question about which I pro- 3 ose to write, I shall endeavor to fur- ? lith some statistics as to the expense t >f Faiitield County for the year 1800 I nA mab sorao snrrorestions br which v hese expenses can be reduced to some i xtent, and save the poor, downtrodien farmers and taxpayers of thi* t itate who have been ground down by s he iron heel of excessive taxation for t nany rears, and at the same time s otton being the only crop from which a re derive money, and that product j s as fer many y<*ars declined in price, t hereby by rendering it less possible f u or the farmers to meet the demands n f their government. How any people n n similar circumstances can sustain p lieir equilibrium in the financial w?rld lj cannot comprehend. The total cx- ? onses of this County for the year f 890, $17,575.66, and realizing a* many r tha necessity of a radical change i many respects, and for the accoralishraent of which I cannot conceive f a mere practical plan than the re- / action of the salaries of County others and thus save the taxpayers seme owever little it may be. Forinstance ' - * ?- a r\"P occnccinor "i 110 1U Ci crt^ wcv v/jl nd collecting the tax?.* of this County. p 'he Alitor receives four hundred *' ?llars from the County, six hundred ' rom the State, asd, the tran*fer fees a f real estate as a compensation for! * :* services which amounts annually l' > elcren hundred and fifty or twolre k undred dollars. The County Trrns- " rcrs commissions for the same rear rerc two hundred and fifty dollars, * nd in theabsoncc of any correct data P a the subject we will suppose hi? ad- e< itional pay to hare been one thousand r< ollars. Total for assessing: and col- 11 'ntimr twentv-feur hundred dollars. C! \or. Tillman, in his speeches during 19 campaign of 1888 advocated the :>nsolidation of the ofiiees of Auditor nd Treasurer, and clcct one man to ischarje the duty of assessing- and jllecting the taxes in every County in le State. Let us ascertain correctly ie amount of work the Auditor and " reasurcr performs. After the Audi- jj >r takes the returns the Board of j h Iqualization ihen passes on them after j tl 'hich the Auditor records them on " is books and write a book for the * reasurer to correspond with the book . 19 Auditor keeps for himself. That b* einir the case, it. is very evident that p le Audi'Or hat the sfrearcit amount I i )f work to perform. If either of the jffices were to be dispensed with it ivould be More practical for the Auditor to perform the work that it now takes both the Auditor and rreasurer to perform, aad gire the jne performing- the duties of both a stipulated amount of money for his services. The taxes ?f this County can be *3sessed and collected for thirteen hundred dollars, and thereby save tiie taxpayers eleven hnudred dollars annually. The total expenses of all tlie bounties in the State are $500,397.66, livide that number by the expense ?f Fairfield County and you will verr readily see that the expenses of this Uountv is a little in excess of the general average of all the Counties in the State. It certainly behooves the taxpayers of this County to make some rflort to economise in some respects ind I caBnot conceire of a more practical plan than th? one suggested in this article. Keprcsentatire T. W. Iraylor merits the approbation of his constituent! for introducing a bill to reduce the salaries of Auditor, Treasurer and Sheriff of Fairfield County, lie kerned to have advocated the [>*licy of the platform of which he was elected, which is well worthy the consideration ef the voter# of this L'ounty at the primary election fo>* nominating County officers and representatives. Perhaps some will say the plan I have suggested is unconstitutional and cannot be accomplished by an act of the Legislature. That has been the great cry and hue of a great many. 1 am gratified to say to those who are laboring under that impression, that nowhere can it be fou. ivi Q n I the statutes that such chaige wouM be If th? neoDle want ?uch changes as I hare suggested let flicm petition the Legislature to pass a law to that effect, and I venture the insertion that it Trill be approved by the Governor, and it would also give entire satisfaction to the taxpayers of any County. It is a great mistake the people make in not petitioning the Legislature for what Jaws they want enacted. The Knights of Labor and various r>tlicr organizations have their committees before Congress advocating their demands. Why can't the people of any County petition their Legislanp-c-iu lil-p-nmniiir ? If it is not within the jurisdiction of the representatives in the Legislature to make the change stborc mentioned, then let the tax payers mate it a universal cuangt; throughout the entire State as fellows: Petition the Legislature to pass a resold ion submitting the question to the people of the State for a popular rote, ind then it be ratified by the Legislature and approved by the Governor iind thus become a constitutional amendment, which tr?uld save the taxpayers ?f the State over $35,000 annually. If a portion of that c?uld be appropriated t? Clemson C*lleg:e, und the remainder to the pnlslic sckotls it -would enable a great many po?r boys to obtain an accomplished eduction without they can never acc?miplifh. I will not say anything more in this article, but I feel that it is tke luty of every manonpr?per occasions :? <io something, eay something or nuTer something for the sake of mmanity and f?r the interest of his fellow nian.

KliF.P STOCK OFF THE SMALL GRAIN, Kct. VF. "W*. Ratehford Knt?rs a Flea f?r the Better Observance ofaGsod Larr. (YirkulU Enquirer.) Editor *f the Yoikville Enquirer: Many claim that we can not make wheat in this part, of tbe country. Let that be as it may, o?e great rta?on why we do n?t make it is because we let our stock ran on it all winter. Take for instance such a winter as we ire n*w having, and it is ruinous t9 letsiockof any kind run on small jraiu of any s?rt. Every stalk ol wheat or tats en which ctws tread is tntirtly raised, and the fruitful pn?p?rties ol the soil around which [iter tramp art also destr*)td. It isjasi destructive 10 iasa ior cattle i? p*?'&re on it in a wet state as it would be t? plough it when too wet, ami jet in every neighborhood we see sows and hogs miming at large, ana not onlr so, hunters do not scruple lo ride over their neighbor's Ian*} and imall grain just as if it was in accordance with law and good breeding to d-> 80. I hare just as lawful a right to ride through the king's parlor as to ride orer my neighbors farm, or to allow my stock in any way to trespass on the same. The one is a violation of [he law as well as the other. I suppose it is claimed on all hands that the stock law is a good thing. If it IS, let US not Yioiaie it, j.ur sureiy n *ood law ought to be obeyed. And more, God's curse will fall on the transgressor ?f a righteous law. Eren if there was no formal law, I hare 119 fight to injure my neighbor, either in person or property. Wc cry "hard times," when perhaps we have had a jreat deal to do in bringing about 'hard times." Let us all mend our ways and perhaps times will be better. \V. W. Ratchkord. Gould, January 19, 1892. Hucklsa'a Arnica Salve.
