Now tliat the Court i* Mttiug in f1
i Winn.sboro, it is well io remember \ f
I that the safety of each individual, and 'f
i the welfare of the whole community ; '
I depends 011 the character of the officers J1
J of t curt, and the veneration in which j1
! the law is held br the people. 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

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

wool and hair in carpets of the same T
price as existed before Mr. McKinley c
undertook to legislate a fortuue iuto c

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

hope all men however humble or i

7-isdom, patriotism and forbearance t
if their public officials aided by the 3

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 '

'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

S^nshin#?Saw Mill?Death- Removals.
Jenkijcsville, S. C., Feb. 6.?
Special: The sunshine to which we
hare been treated during- ib? p<?f
three w?eke has relievrd the dullness
and inactivity that jrueralJy succeeds
Christmas in business and social
circlf-s. Afe?in we h*?r the cheerful
gee haw of the ploughman n the oats
are being sowed or la:.d broken fur
otker seeds. Wkm the weather admits
of work we do not hear *o much
of hard times. Employment is an
excellent panacea far all ills.
Mr. L. D. Hicker's savr mill ha*
been in operation for sereral weeks on
the plantation of C. B. Douglass, and,
its cheerful buzz seems u bear wilnfss
to the fact that there i? still a demand
tor lumber; tome building goin^ on
ret. Mr. Thoinafe McGill, of Moniicello,
is rebuilding his residence which
was burned sereral months since.
The Ir?t q*art?rly conference of
Montic?ll? and Shiloh Churches couv?n?d
at the lalier plice on Wednesday
last, Kct. Mr. P?wer presided but
owing to illness of bis wife be was
not able to remain long enoujh to
deliver a sermon as is hi* custom,
betore up the usual routine
bRBiaess. The bte wards ot the twe
churches held a raeeunj: after the
conference was concluded in order to
arrive at some decision ai to pastor's
salary. They eeemed to agree ihaf
the pro*e?t laborer iu this vineyard
(Mr. Cauthen) ia truly worthy of his
dire.
Y7. ?. Giba.n and A. U. WalUce
have decided to utilize the fine pasturage
aroand Wallaceville. A dairy
farai under their aianagement is to be
carried on there. I daresay that this
will become one of our leading industries
uow that cotton has been de
throned.
W. B. Yarborough has left this
Coanty for Kichland aad is now living
ear ColtiMbia. Our capiUl's'boom
will hare a tendency to aiuvct many
to its luburbi, there to engage in truck
farming. Some of our neighbors
think of i*oving there in order to
avail themselves of educational advantages
and to share the profits troin
this business. Thera ie certainly a
sreat deoaand there for fruits and
vegetable*.
Mr. Walter Holler kas accepted *
position as clerk with M.r. Hipp, of
Fontaria. Our young mcii arc making"
florts to jive *p tanning whontver
a* opportunity occur*, not ?eemin*r t?
realije that agriculture i* the b;ui? of
all pro*p?rity.
Only atic daily ^a??enger trai* is
being- run on the Gre?nvi.lc road nuw
andj??t two freijuu per week. So
few fertilizers are beiug shipped; thi?
c?t? off much rerenne frurn the railreads.
The funeral of Mrs. J. K. Uook wax
preached by Ksr. Mr. Powder, ?if
Columbia at Slnloh Cburcb ou tbe
lyrh of January. Lang Mouths of
suffering- had prepared !icr lv#r the
great ehutg-*, and ?hc died not as
' One who i? ut ease in his possessions,
Who counting on long yea^s of pleasure
here.
Is quite unfurnished for the world to
come."
A mad dog was on the rampage here
n (he railroad last week, biting1 one
ef the colored hands employed (here,
then going on a liltle further, jumped
among h gr?up ?f children and bit
one of them in sereral places. \Vr>
<-ould well spare the majority of dogs
that infest ur country.
There hare been several deaths from
grip among the colored papulation in
this section. It ha. been qnite preralent
generally dereloping into
pneumonia when it proved fatal.

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.
