One good institution ii Columbia, would be t more cheaply maintained, and the inmates c could be a thousand times bettor cared for at t less net cost than they are n~w poorly cared for In the different counties. * The inmates could be so classified and man- i aged as to reduce the gro*s cost. u If we had a state lnst'tutlon, instead ol i county institutions at every man's door, the t aggregate nurcber of inmates would be reduced from ten to twenly-llve, and possibly ?! fifty per cent. ' s While the friends and relatives of some ol 1 the paupers might be perfectly willing for them to ha\e a home in the poor house neat at hand where they could visit them at will, it is reasonable to presume that many relalives would struggle a little hnrde.' for the maintalnance of thelrjtriend?, If their failure to do so, would cause them to be sent away so far thai they would never see them again. a Poor houses distributed all over the Slate, b are a temptation to the thriftless, but a State J - institution to which they must be sent far r away fiom kindred and friends wou!d prompt c thom to greater exertion. But if it should be determined to keep up the county poor houses, tben let us have a county lunatic asylum, and a county peuitentlnry. We are as much entitled to one institution as the other, and no man who ought to be out I of one of these institutions can assign a good reason for maintaining ditfercut rules form stltutlons which should be established on the s same principle.

Typhoid fever Is a disease which never ti comes uuinvited. * The germ may be in the well, and probably Is, but it may be in the pig pen, or else it may w be In thegrouivd where the slops are thrown. 11 The cause is there. No doubt about that.

The idea of a free born American citizen surrendering the right of-free thought and free J speech is amaziog. In Russia the citizen must subordinate his conscieuce to the dictates of the Czar, but the proposition to deny nny citizen of the United States the exercise of his own judgment, is monstrous. But then there are tncn in this country so \ lacking in individuality, as to have no opin- ? Jon of their own, and must wait to And out b what their neighbors think before they can j'( have any opinion at all. I Such humiliating subserviency of Individuals to the will of others is debasing to the ^ best American manhood.

The new arrangement suits Abbeville bet" ter than any we have ever had; ' We now get a mall at half past eleven o'clock, brlnglngthe Columbia papers. Heretofore we received no mail until four o'clock. 1 The greatest hardship seems to be to the J Greenville News, wh Ich is not received untl1 < four and a half hours after the Columbia pa- 1 pers have been received. t ... j Lei Abbeville Send Delegates. President Gaines iBsues his call for a meeting of the stockholders of the Florida, Georgia and Carollnas Railroad In Augusta on the 17th Instant. Let Abbeville send a full delegation. If there Is even a possibility of securing bo great a road, it would be a dereliction of duty for our town to neglect to be represented. It < * really seems to us that there Is at least a pos- * sibllity of getting a most important railroad j connection. t m ?? - j The State. I The Suite issued twenty-four pages last Monday, belug a Fair edition, In which the many advantages of the city of Columbia were prcsented in their best light. Monday's edition of the State was a credit to the office, " to the owners, and to the city. a _ i The Cotton Plant, on October 31, published ; the speech of Tom Watson, delivered at ; Batesburg September 9. 18U1. The name of that paper might be changed to "The Refresh- | er." It brings up so many old things that had ; been about forgotten. According to the recent work of the "organ," the readers of that paper may hear about Christmas of the late defeut of the Alllaucc or third parly in Kansas. For typography aud pi ess work, no paper of which we havaany knowledge, surpasses the Columbia Register. Go to W.Joel Smith & Sons for a good wagon.

A correspondent, "B," from Ren 110, writing o the Clinton Gazette, has tills to say of th< >ress anil lianner, for which we return hanks: "We received a copy of the Abbevlll Presf nd Banner last week.

SEEKING INFORMATION. m Xorthrrn Capital Coming' this Way r We learn that some capitalists, or other perons In the distance, have been writing for nforcnation about Calhoun Falls.

Lnncaster, Sheriff Barnwell county. 3 From previous Information Governor Tlll. man suspected that the modus operandi was not honestly operative, so he declined to pay the rewards tintll ho shall have sifted the tranractlon of its dubious matters. Some of the demerits of doubt may be gathered from the following letters: Barnwell C. H., November 2,1891. To his Excellency, Governor B. K. Tillman, 5 Columbia, S. C.?Dear Sir: William L. McFall , surrendered voluntarily to the Sheriff of this county to-day. Should any claim ho made for the reward offered it will be a fraud upon i the State, and should be disregarded.

This Is done to get the reward ollered by you for his defence, or at IcaRt this Is the general impression here. Can you not withhold the reward and Investigate the rcatter? Our State should not pay for the defence of her criminals if it can bo,avolded. I have written the above with the hope that . yon may be able to do something to slop this business. Yours very truly, il. C. Folk. On learnim* of the action or inaction of the Governor Mr. G. W. M. Williams, who was ] connected with the McFail case.wrote the following letter: Columbia, November 4,1801. ' To his Excellency, IJ. U.Tillman, Governor or south Carolina: Having been Informed by Mr. H. H. Hill of certain communications to you, I have road the communication of Robert Aldrich dated November 2. nnd-uldret-sed to you, in which he states tbatWm. I,.McFail surrendered voluntarily to the Sheriff of this 1 county to-day, aud I wish to suy that, while I make no charges of "wilfully mistaking things" against Air. Aldrich, ho is very seriously mistaken. I am the legal adviser of Mr. McFail in the | case he now stands charged with having'commltted against the law. Col. Aldrich was by t some meaLs brought into ihe case tonssist me in the defence ot McFail. I further wish to state that Col. Aldrich is defending a parly charged with arson, against whotn Mr. McFail is an lmportaut witness, and in whose behalf! Mr. Aldrich Is of course Quite solicitous. I further wish it. known to yon that I was In Barnwell 011 the 2d (the date of Col. Aldrich's letter) and he did not Intlmaterto mo any Intention of writing you orask me anything concerning this anomalous correspondence. I saw Mr. Aldrlch early on the morning of the 2d and asked him for a consultation, und after hearing him at the front gate of his residence 1 saw no more of htm. In regard to H. C. Folk's communication to i you dated 3d November, I wish to say to you 1 that although being a Representative from Barnwell that he would not dare to tell the Sheriff that McFall surrendered to liiin. Though Folk has the houorablo attached to his name as the Representative of the people, he has exhibited to my mind a partisan feeling, unfounded in fact, except as suits his own peculiar notions. I would not write tnls to you. Governor, except for the language used in Folk's letter, which I hope the public will pee and appreciate, and from the backing the erroueons report seems to have come from one of McFalVs lawyers, so considered. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, G. W. M. Williams. The correspondence which precedes reveals a most remarkable state of afl'alrs. We understand the situation to be: 1. W. L. McFall killed E. C. Burpee at MidU'flV 2. That he fled from Justice, or concealed himself so as to avoid arrest. 3. Thnt the Governor offered a reward for his arrest and lodgment in jail. 4. That a few days ago, he either voluntarily, or by capturc, was placed in the Barnwell Jail. 5. That the question now in, did the prisoner voluntarily surrender, or did Mr. II. H. Hill arrest him and briog him to jail? 6. Upon the decision of this question, the Governor proposes to pay or wllhhoh) the reward, which he offered for the arrest of McFnll. 7. If the Governor 6hou\d withhold the re >nrd, it will be upon one of two grounds, cither that Hill will apply the money to the employment of lawyers to defend bim, or that McFall voluntarily went into confinement. Upon which the Tress and Banner would remark : 1. mat an imputations 01 mum on iuc Slate as referred to In the correspondence, are irrelevant, anfl should have no more weight In the Governor's/ici ion than the recent act of Chilian ruffians in beating our Bailors. 2. Thut the intimation of Governor Tillman, that he will see that the reward which ho ofl'ered forMcKnll is not paid for hlsde fence, is extra official and can be excused only on the ground of his assuming to intermeddle with matters that do not come within his official duties. * ft Tlint l-hn fJnvprnnr nfl"i>rpfl thfi reward without reservation, and except as the act of that power that makes might right, lie has no right to withhold the reward, If it is true that McFnil is in the custody of the Sheriff'. That Is the only legitimate and proper question for ' him to decide. 4. Even supposing MuFall did surrender, and did so solely in tlio hope of receiving the r reward with which to make his defence, the Slate of South Carolina Is in honor bound to ! pay the reward. ! 5. The Suite of South Carolina would have ! reason to blush if her Governor should deny f to fultill the conditions of his own proclama' Hon, for no pther or better reason than that of . denying her prisoner the money for his defence, and possibly in the hope of hanging him who lias no money to pay his lawyer. 0. The good lalth, the good name, the humanity of the State, all demand of Governor Tillman that he deal fairly with tlio man whose hands are tied, and whose person and liberty id locked in prison walls, i 7. Without the money which the Governor 1 offered, it is quite possible that McFnil could 5 not, and would not, have come to trial, i Does the State propose, tlrst to cheat Mc' Fail,and then hang him without the benelit, 1 of an able defence? If his attorney knew that McFnil would surrender In time for trial, it was his bound" ed duty to so inform the Governor, In order that lie might withdraw his proclamation offering the reward. It is a most startling adl mission for any lawyer toadmlt that he knew . his client would surrender, and say nothing - about it, until his capture, and the reward is claimed. THE 6., C. & N. ? ?

A, Gaines, president of the Florida, Georgia and Carolina* railway and transpor- [ tation company, delivered an address In the rooms ol the Commercial Club of Ashcville on Snturdav afternoon. The object of the meet lug was to afford Mr. Gaines nil opportunity to explain the advantages to /\sheviilo of his road. Mr. (iailies spoke of the great natural advantages of this line, running from Tanipa, Florida, to Asbeville, and thence connecting c with roads oil the north to the great lakes. 1 The line would cross eleven great trunk lines " betw? en Asbeville and Tampa, while there ' was nota parallel lineas a competitor. The fact that the federal government lias J"1 Inaugurated a system of reciprocity with all J" the South American countries was a great " factor in favor of the feasibility of this line ? of road, as a tremendous trade would spring Cl up. demanding a through line from the great Northwest to the South Atlantic and Gull (1 coast. ?

He . lingered io great agoney until lust Friday ' morning when he died. ,, The death of so valued a citizen is always the subject ol regrel, but wiieu lii.s life was so I nct'klessly wasied, a much deeper sorrow falls upon tile heart. He was a peaceable citizen, with lllwlli toward no one. and lie had no eartiily use lor;, the pistol. Itut, he did cany it or have It in his posses- r. sion, mid in consequence of I lie fact tliat lie ; owned a worthless pistol, his valuable life is ' lost to himself, ills mother, liis friends, and his country. , We need not write a sermon on this text.
