The Press and Banner. ABBEVILLE, S.C. Wednesday, Oct. 13, 1886. ! Absolutely Too Small for nit Honest .South Carolinian** Acceptance." "So those so-culled low-country counties contain two-thirds of the area of the suite, and ;?!*?,181,801 of taxable property out of n total of $|'j.97.'i,3fi5 on assessment of 'St-'Mi.

I Why does the Register make a comparison between the wealth of the low-country anil the up-country ? Why docs that paper up* l>mid us by asking if the up-country should hot "be willing to allow us [(he low-country] ?omc voice in the affairs of the State in view t)f these salient points ?" For perhaps about the one-thousandth time the fact of our poverty has been thrown up to Vis in one way or another by Charleston or Co* lurnbia, or some of their special friends. In view of the fact that every citizen in the State, and ?very county in the State, according to their wealth, contributes a pro rata share to the expense of the Government, and in view of that other fact, that every citizen ? before the law is recognized as the equal of . every other citizen, we are at a loss to know why a rich man, or a populous comity should claim special privileges to which others are excluded. The up-couutry people, to the extent of their property, pay taxes at the same j rate that their richer low-country neighbors j pay. If we up-country people have less money I than our low-country neighbors, it is our misfortune. If wo up-country people have less self-respcct and bow and cringe to the lowcountry people, because of their superior i wealth, ana thus yield something of our manhood and our citizenship, it is to our shame. As a matter of fact, we think this thing of Inviting a comparison in wealth Is odious at anytime, and under all circumstances, but especially is it true, when such comparisons are fo apft to remind us ot the scores of lortunes which have been wrecked in I he up-country, 'and the great number of houseless famines that are to be found in al! parts of the upcountry, and who attribute their poverty to the fact that the head of the family had had dealings with Charleston. We have no doubt that there are men in this "despised" up-coun. rtry who verily believe that more homes have been wrecked in the up-country by Ill-advised dealings with Charleston than were destroyed in Charleston ou the night of August 31. No word of sympathy, so far ns we know^ has over beeu expressed for the houseless and . 1- ?1?a Mn_/.nti MI rv TllOV Homeless peopic m ? seem to have been forgotten or else the llcgis9cr and the iVciwr and Courier have thought them unworthy of their attention. But beoaiise Charleston has suffered by an act of (Providence, they would call the Legislature together, and involve the State in their loss. If it is true that one unfortunate family is as deserving of sympathy as another, why is it that the families of those who have been sold out of houses and homes to satisfy debts In Charleston or elsewhere, arc not ineluded in their schemes of relief for earthquake sufferers ? Is not the man who suffers nt the hand of his fellow-man as deserving of sympathy as he who suffers at the hand of Providence ? We trust, therefore, that this repeated insinuation that the up-country people are less deserving of consideration, and should yield up something of their manhood because they have less money than Charleston, may not be made again "It is absolutely toosmall foran 1?f'nroiininn's aeeentanee." In our opinion, it Ik even unworthy of any South Carolinian's tolerance. We hope tbat our low-country friends may ? not longer bring the poverty argument,, allcga" lion, or charge against us. We trust that this old hint tiiat we should yield something of our manhood because of our poverty may be abandoned. Such acts fatiguo our indignation, and must stir up all the latent feeling of resentment that may be in the breast of any citizen who Is worthy of the name of South Ca roi i nian. Does the Reg inter ex peel up-con utry manhood to bow down to low-country gold? Does it expect the up-country to acknowledge itself unworthy of public respect ? wP'v _ _ I'p-Oountry and I.oiv-t'ouiitr.v. We talce no stock in this sort of sectionalism. It is absolutely too small for an honest South Carolinian's acceptance. V<*t we see some of our friends now chiss Richland with the low-country, and rut her begin to draw the lines on us In consequencc. Very we!l, If Kichland Is low-country, so is Aiken, Lexington, Kershaw. Chcstertlcld, Marlboro, Darlington,.Sumter. Clarendon, Or.igeburir, Harnwcil, Hampton, Beaufort, Colleton, Berkeley. Charleston, \t llliamsburg, Georgetown, Marion and Horry?making in all 20 counties, and showing 21 Senators out of the 85, and 7ti llep; resentatives out of 124. So these so-called low-couniry counties contain two-thirds of the area of the State, and Si2.ISI.3til of taxable property out of a total of SUtf.MT.'l.Wi ?>n assessment of '81-'8.*?. So this saniH despised low eountry paid $jl4,0f>.'>.73 out of the ?K23,G;t!Ul? taxes paid into the State Treasury in Ought not our friends and brothers in the iip-oountry be willing to allow us some voice in the aflairs of the State in view of these sa$&': * "ilent facts 1?Coiuiiibi<uRi'aisler. The RcgLiter seems to have a very exalted opinion of itself. If our memory serves us rightly the Register is very consistent in rebuking any expression of jealousies between the up-country and low-country. For the sentiment the low-country people must feel very grateful?even as grateful as they nuist. be for Its persistent warfare for them and . against us. The Rcfjltiter's words sound nicely even away up here, in this moneyless part of South Carolina?even In the very counties that ha^e been so disloyal as to build "CSeor. gla railroads" which were "tilled with dead men's bones." Even the moneyless people who have been charged with disgraceful cruelty to convicts must respect any expression which would tend to allay Ill-feeling. Hut when the Register lakes sUles with Charleston in Its efforts to stop railroad building In.I he lip-country and makes damaging charges against the character orAtavpeople, they fee! grieved. When it refuces to take not loo of greater cruelties to convicts "by low-country phosphate diggers, we fec-1 that our good brother of the RcgMer docs not hold the scales in exact equipoise. The Register, we believe, as a rule, has been solid against the up-country in nearly every question that ha* arisen in the .State. This matter between Columbia and Charleston co?m?tfthoiio h?n mo thoroughly crounded into Charleston, that the Atn'.t and Courier nctually charged the Kichland delegation in the State Nominating Convention with something which sounded to u* very much like a charge of bad faith, because the members ol "that Convention failed to vote with Charleston. At least we understood the matter in that way. If the Rcghter holds the scales exactly fair between the pupple, why does it seek to involve the State in Charleston's loss. If it feels p- as great an interest in the tuifortunate citizen of the up-country as it does in the ]o\v-country citizen, why does it not say at least one word in behalf of the needy people up this way, while it is going such lengths lor Charles /on property-holders ?

As there scorns to lie a not ion among some few illiberal people that South Carolina cannot. a i lord to lend her credit to hcrown people, tinder the must abnormal condition of calamity, we have been at the pains to see exactly "] whore the State's phosphate royalties stand. Those royalties come from the river bods of the very section in distress. They cost the state not one cent of expenditure, and belong alone to the body politic, just us (lie state ] House or any other property of theState does, in other words, they belong to the whole body of the people of South Carolina in their corporate capacity. We find, upon the most reliable otlieial authority, that the following have been the receipts of the State in phosphate royal ties since the Democrats have been in power, up to and including the present year: 1S77 S 75.519 72 1SR2 $ 138,251 14 '? 1S7S 9I,I2>I '.IS 1SSJ i:ttl,2.V? 87 | ' 1S71) 127,507 49 INS 1 154,2 IS ' PMI ?5,:M7 !I2 ISS5 1711,751 fX> 1 1S81 124,555 4S 18S0 1!H'.,<?12 Os ; 1 I I 1st 5 years $1Si>,0~1 57 2(1 o yours 82 j 1 It will bo scon that the State has received In IJ royalties lor the 10 years ending with I88ti, . If>7.- !!), and that these royalty receipts have increased in the latter five years over the former by S:510.021.2o, or hy ~\y, per cent. . As this increase covers a period of live years, , lu which there has been a steady annual in-.! crease, there is no good reason why the In-; crease should not be steadily maintained in; the next ten years, especially with the world-11 wide markets for these phosphates. Should this so prove, the live years fromj. 1SN7 to lS'ill inclusive will show receipts iI amounting to SI. 3Ml.lti7.20, and the next live!, from IS02 to IKOti inclusive will show receipts I of S2,-121,131.GG In royalty rcccipts?Qolunibia j j Register. | The exclusive right to dig phosphates :i having hocn granted to favorite corporations! in Charleston, and these corporations being' I thus enabled to realize profits great enough j to make the S100 shares worth something like ; SI,200, we see no necessity for the State to exI tend lurthcr aid to these corporations. We | believe it has never been contended that the J phosphate beds were injured by the earth- j quake. With exclusive privileges to engage |i in tne most profitable business in the State,' and with convicts to do the work, we do notl sec what more the phosphate diggers can ask. i Earthquake I.oikIn. Our city contemporaries the yews and Cou- , rier and the Register are laboring earnestly to induce Governor Shcppard to call an extra, session of the Legislature. It is desired that the organic law of the State may be so altered j as toallow the General Assembly to authorize the people to assume liability for the recent losses which Charleston has sustained by the I I'ivrmqiuuvc. I So far, very few of the country newspapers | have given expression on the subject, but as j: far as they have done so, they are almost aj unit in opposition to the measure. The prop- j osition scorns so much at variance with the public Interest, and is ba?od on so slight aj pretext that we think the people would have; no trouble in settling thequestion, if it should ! be submitted to them. The Mayor of the city has issued his procla-' mat ion saying that there is no further need of gifts of money to relieve tlie distressed. Tlie j proposition then, to secure tho bonds of the State for "Charleston sufferers," must in fact, be for the benefit of Charleston speculators or; property h^jders. The mechanics, laborers and other poor people, must be in a better condition now than | ever before. Owing to the great demand for labor of all kinds, skilled mechanics and. common laborers arc receiving uncommonly high pay, and none of them are without em-, ploy men t. While the amount of money received by the charity committeo is immense, we do not rccollect to have seen any statement as to ex- j penditurcs except in the matter of a few rations and some soup to the poor. If the bonds of the State arc to be issued at j four per cent, for the benefit of the Charleston : ...I.,. nt I, i.rli 1 I Jill: Iirilllllu-j, mm ICMU mew .......... ...... ( rates of interest to the country people, the j profit of such a proceeding will be immense ( to tlie city, while it will be correspondingly damaging to the country people. tiettaii^- Down to Practical llitslncss. The questions which have heretofore been : put to applicants for teacher's certificates, have been the subject of remark and adverse criticism, but we see by the editor of the "Teacher's Department" of the Xcwberry Her aid and yews, that the former Impracticable and absurd questions have given place to; practical questions which will put the ability to teach to the proper tests. One question I which recently attracted the special attention | and commendation of the editor of the teach, j I er's column in tho Herald and yews, was the ( i following: I "Where would be tho temperate zones were tlie axis of tho earth inclined to the plane of; its orbit 43 degrees?" I Of course anybody who can answer plain,1 i practical questions like the above, would give I evidence of fitness to teach in a public school.. | We would suggest other questions: j "How far is it from Couieucriclt cross noaus, to Jericlio." "What arc the medical qualities of the barley of a dog ?" Let Charleston Pay the Expense of! the Extra Session. In our opinion Governor Khcppard is too 1 wise to be led into the error of calling the I Legislature together. ISut if it shall be insist ed that he should do so. we think tlie city of I Charleston should lirst assume responsibility j for the eost of the session. As it is n-spccula* j I tion or move solely in the interest of the eity,' it should run the risk of paying the cost of the experiment. If Charleston will j-'lve bond to pay the expenses of the extra session, the people should not object to their members assembling in Columbia. If that body then did not refuse Charleston's request, the ptopic at the ballot-box would certainly settle the matter without eost to them. .So, if Charleston desires a session of the Legislature to advance I her interests, let her assume to pay the costs. Its coins to us if Charleston wants our bonds, j she should at least propose to pay the eost of j the necessary legislation. j\ iM-wiiLTiy eorrespoiiueiib <n inu ^rttiricx- i ton Xcics ami Courier ilesiros to open the Held > for Abbeville.

This would give Abbeville an op" i portunity to furnish Newberry with a good' Judge as well as a good Congressman. The' . move is a good one, and may result in profit [ to Abbeville anil in good'to Newberry. l,etl the change be adopted. ?- X Proposition lo ISuild up Port ItoynJ.

If Charleston succeeds in getting her'"Earthquake bonds,-' we want provision" i made at the same time for the benefit of Nincj ty-Slx in case she succeeds in getting upaj ' | first-class earthquake.

[111 media to Action Demanded 113- illie ^ C-iren instance* of flic Situation? The Governor Should Xot l?e <?ov- | erne*! by .Short-Sighted Iinlivtuunls. {News ami Courier, Oclobcr 8.) As slated in the News and Courier on Frilay last, the amount, of tile losses In Charles-j ?on by Hie earthquake is correctly estimated j U about 55,000,tKHi. We do not see how it is , possible that the people of the city, whose properly has been so seriously damaged by I lliis great disaster, can rapidly recover their i former condition without outside aid. It is kvith this object in view that we urge the calling of a special session of the Legislature to j make such provision as is deemed best to meet the emergency. The question lias already been stated in all its bearings. It is only desired now to reiterate the views which we have expressed, and lo suggest- that the exigencies of the case arc I us great as they have ever been, and that action by the Legislature on the line we have indicated would not only provide a remedy lor the existing state of adairs, but would be i guarantee of immediate assistance in case iinother similar contingency, or any other, should unfortunately arise. There is considerable opposition in Charleston to the calling of an extra session of the Legislature; but we must insist that the necessity is pressing, and that immediate action Is warranted by the circumsianccs of the situation. The Legislature of the State ought to have an opportunity to net. The CvlitmOin Hei/ixlcr is heartily in accord - .. . , nnnn thili ttlinH-l* Will) IIIC JC'U'J (IHU K/K'ICI v..... .x~? . tion. Indeed, it has been urging for some ] time piist tlie importance of State aid for ] Charleston. On Saturday last it liad the following strong and timely comments: "We welcome support which goes to urge 1 upon the State the prompt discharge of a J solemn duty which it cannot forego without ' lasting injury to itself 110 less than to Char- 1 leston. besides incurring the odium of turn- . in? its back 011 its own Ilesii and blood, when 1 nil mankind stood appalled at the calamity j and came with warm sympathies and with J ready purses to the assistance of our suffering people. There never lias been any serious question 1 as to the authority in the premises, uud we ] lake it that Governor Sheppard lias never been unwilling to call an extra session of the ! Legislature had the Charleston sufferers themselves asked It. But if the extra session ' is to be called there Is no time to be lost about ' it. It is absolutely necessary to amend the ' Constitution so as to permit the aid; for, ( without an amendment, the decision of our 1 Supreme Court would forbid any State aid for rebuilding private property, and that is ex- 1 uetty what is needed in the calamitous coiuli- 1 lion of Charleston property-holders. Nobody itsks that the State should give these people 1 the money to restore tlieir mined property: nil that is asked is that the State should lenu them her credit, 011 good security, so as to enable them to get the money needed at cheap rates. There need not be a dollar lost to the State In thus doing, whilst at the same time she would put her ruined commercial emporium on its feet again." NVlio will lake the responsibility of tying the hands of the State and sealing its lips by preventing by calculating opposition tuc assembling of the representatives of the people, | in this time of need? Who will be ready to make answer when our follow countrymen shall tell us that they were willing and able to help us, and were denied the opportunity by persons holding public position in Char-! leston ? It will be too late then to repent and ! explain. Now Is the hour for action. Gov-1 ernor Sheppard will act promptly if lie Is not: thwarted by short-sighted dissent hero In >'i...ri..ct<.n Tii i* -itleuKt. is demanded: Let; VUMiiWov...., - .. , the opponents <>i the extra session ami of State aid speak out and trive voice to tlicir | fears of themselves and their doubts of their I fellow-citizens. >'o utteraueo of theirs can he | more injurious than silence, for silence is) accompanied by frigid aversion to th? only means yet suggested by which those wiio arcl help:ess can be helped by those who, to every appearance, are anxious to help them. A eorre-pondent, who writes under the si*;- j nature of "Charleston," suggests that tne people of South I'arollna cannot, even by amend-1 ing the Constitution, authorize the Issue of! bonds or the incurring of any public obliga-l tion tor the relief of the sufferers bji the earth- j quake. This objection was uneart hed some j weeks ago, and has been made the most of by the opponents of quick relief and the early j restoration of Charleston by and through leu- j islativeaction. Hut we hold that the people are sovereign, and that their will, expressed according to the forms of law, is supreme. There must be paramount authority somewhere, and we find that authority in the peo- j pie, and not in abstractions about the unwrit- i ten law that underlies the law, ami the like. j In any event, the Legislature should consider! aud determine the matter. IS THERE A THREAT IN THIS 1 Justice to (iovcriior Sliepjinrd, and ! Justice to Charleston. jVetitt and Courier. We publish to-day t he Columbia Register's | statement of Coventor Shcppard's position, j concerning the call of an extra session of the j General Assembly. The burden of it. is that] no 'assemblage" of the people of Charleston has asked for Slate aid, nor has the City Coun cil or llio .Mayor solium sucn aiu; :mu uiiu. iti Is known by the Governor that the Cluu'leston delegation in the Legislature arc adverse I to an extra session, and that there is good ' (ground for the belief that the people ofi Charleston are largely opposed to asking aid j from the .State, lies ides this, only one mem-1 ber of the Legislature lias expressed a willing- j ness. it is said, t'ortlio rail of an extra session,! while not a few have expressed themselves as j averse to the call. It is true that Micro litis been no assemblage i of tlie people of Charleston to ask for .State aid, but. this is noevidence, under tliecircuinstances. that such aid Is not desired. Nor is tlie inaction of tlie City Council and Mayor any evidence of the desires of the public. The City Council has not acted on the matter at all. Mayor Conrtenay is believed to be opposed to the extra session. I'.ut what reason has j Governor Sheppard for assuming that tlie t Mayor or City Council, in this particular, rep-1 resent the desires of the people? What, too, is the authority for the; statement that thc| Charleston delegation arc adverse loan extra session?that is, are adverse to that help by the State which will enable us to rebuild ! Charleston in thecourseof twelve months, in-j stead of allowing the work of restoration to drag over a period of ten years, or a century. \\ e think that our own means for obtaining information as to both the wishes hihI the wants of the people are quite as good as those of the interviewers and correspondents ol Governor Sheppard, and we have 110 doubt whatever that there is a buining desire? naturally and reasonably?to give the Legislature of the Slate the opportunity to help those | who are utterly unable to help themselves quickly. Tut it to the test in any way you! choose! The IlryUtcr suggests that the legislation I which is said to have been contemplated, in j urging an extra session of the Legislature, would be unconstitutional. We doubt that. I There is tlie highest sort of common sense in j the letter on that subject which is published in tlie iWtivf (iml Qivrirr to-day. It is ridiculous, to our mind, that. In a Kejniblic, the people should not have the authority to determine what is for tlie public good and what is a public purpose. I'.ut there may be other! ways of assisting Charleston than the way | which is pitched upon in the defence of Gov-1 crnor Sheppard. The Legislature, we say again, ought, to tuiv?: the opportunity ol considering this, and determining what can be done. We venture to suggest that there Is not a siugh- word or letter in t he statement concerning Governor Sheppard which relieves him from any responsibility in this business, it is upon iiim and not upon the Charleston delegation, or Mayor Courlenay, or any "assemblage" of citizens, that the Constitution confers the authority to convene I he General As-j scmbly "on extraordinary occasions." The power is vested in liitn, and the resj?>nsibili-! ty rests upon liini alone. There Is 110 way of! escaping it. Our own opinion is that, every one who now j stands in the way of an extra session of the | Legislature will rue it before next uiitumn: liul it will l>e too late then to undo the ell'ect til' blindness, narrowness, or prejudice at this present time. A Sus'^llon Which Applies as Well j to Abbeville its to I'liion. [ I'ninn Times.\ A rumor reaches us that not long aero a man j died in thiseounly, who was supposed to haw a considerable amount of money in his house; hut after the Mineral, when his papers and effects were examined, no traecsot the money eouUl be found. It is pretty certain that he hail money, t>nt being unmarried and having no family to look alter his affairs during his sickness, there is strong suspicion I hat it was stolen. This is another Mrong argument against keeping large sums of money in the house or ahout the ficrsoii. Had the money of i/ial man heen deposited in the hunk, i! would lie safe now and the lawful heirs would feel secure in their ritrhts, without any unpleasant suspicion or danuer ol lo.? ;. If is really surprising how many shrewd business men in the country will ri-k losing their moiiy. from I ires, robbers and many other ways, by hoardiugitabout their persons, while t lie hank offers th**ui a sab-anil perii.'clly responsible place of deposit for it, win-re it em be drawn out at any time; and in any amounts.

From tin time to the present no assemblage of the pet pie of Charleston has been had asking Stat aid, nor has the City Council or Mayor sougii MK'll ilMI. AI out; with this, It Is known by the Goi crnor that the Charleston delegation In tli Assembly are adverse to the proposition of a extra session, and there Is besides this goo ground for the belief that the people of Cha: lesion are largely opposed to asking aid froi the state. Besides ail this, with the exception of M Brawley, no member of the Assembly froi any part of the State has expressed a willin; ness foracail of an extra session, whilst m a few have expressed themselves au dccidcdl averse to such a cull. The Governor, under all these clrcun stances, does not feel Justified in calling tli Legislature together. In addition to all this, owing to eertal decisions of the Supreme Court of UicUniU States construing the provisions of the Foil teenth amendment of the Federal Consliu tion. viz: "Nor shall any State deprive an person of life, liberty or property wtthoutdi process of law," as forbidding Just such a-'tie 011 the partot n Legislature as would bo ii volvcd in granting aid, either by bonds, ei dorsement or ot herwise, for the rebuilding < repair of private property, it Is not seen ho an amendment of the State Coustitutio; even If the people should consent to the sain would cure the ditlleulty. There Would stI remain the provision of tho Federal Const union, and the construction of the same I: the Supreme Court-of the United States fo bidding the contemplated legislation, Justi ellectnally as is now done by our Stale Cot siitution and the decision of our own S prenn!
