m ~ "i ?? a - The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE, S.C. ;!S!rPubli.she<l every Wednesday at a year in advance. Wednesday, Feb. 24, 1892. The Railroatltt anil the stale uovernmout at War. Tho nretonl q i> m 1 n i?jtrnt ion. nndpr the lead of Governor Tillman who returns his own property at thirty or forty per cent, of its value, determined some time ago to make a warfare atainst corporations. The presumed object of this unfairness to the banks and the railroads had its object, first: the securing of additional money to meet the appropriations by the reform Legislature, without calling on the people to settle the bill; and. second, perhaps to gaiu some cheap notoriety in flaunting their unjust taxation of corporations before the people, as evi. denceof intense and excessive interest in the welfare of the de^r people. The idea of a Governor returning his own property at thirty or forty per cent, of its value, and then using the machinery of the government to oppress other tax payers, inus-t moAt tha nnnilomnotlrtn nf fnir cleullntr ciLl-' zens everywhere. This newspaper makes no reflection on Governor Tillman for his return of his personal Inillolrfiml nrnnortv hntniir KPnse of Cum mou honesty is offended when he uses hlsolflci and official power to make corporations assess their property at a hundred cents ou the dollai while he assesses his own at only forty cents. There is neither decency nor a pretense at coinmou fairness In such a course, and any member of that commission who dodged his own taxes wlnlo forcing a higher rate of assessment on the railroads ought to be ashamed of himself, and he ought to he ashamed of his official record. Fair play Is a jewel. Last Saturday Mr. Brown, the local agent of the.R. and D. brought the money to pay the originalassessment of that company's rouds in Abbeville county $8,461.40, but the amount demanded on the Increased assessment by our Governor who makes one rule for himself and another for railroads, was S12.84S.U0. Treasurer Blake refused the tender, and of course the county, the schools and the State are out of pocket Just that amount. Thisde* flciency was cauaed by the attempt to extort from the railroads more than their Just proportion of taxes, and innocent holders of claims against the county will ilud their payment postponed. Besides this large amount held back from the treasury, the Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railway Company paid their taxes SI.300.00, under protesi.and it will be sealed and locked tn the vaults ot the State bankers until the Courts decide the questions In' volved. We learn that It Is thought that these cases will not be settled for a year. Meeting In Colombia. The "Stralghtouts,"or their Executive Committee, were to have a meeting in Columbia yesterday, for the purpose, we presume, of devising plans for the defeat of Tillman and for developing a scheme whereby the election of some of their own number could be effected. As a matter ol fact, we think it would be wise for theSlraightouts to take a back seat. A IHUJurilJ Ul luc jjciuuvinviu jmi (j iu ovu^w Carolina ilo not favor a division of the party* Tbe leading Democrats of South Carolina have in the past denounced Bolters or Independents In tbe most unmeasured terms. Without pretending or claiming to know more than anybody else, we venture to make this prediction : That no party organization which has Its origin or inspiration at Columbia, or which has Straigbtout leaders at its head can be elected to any office. The election of Governor Tillman may have been a bitter pill to the Stmigh touts, but they must take it, and tbe less fuss they make about it, the better for all of us. Presumably this country is ruled by the people,and not by any self-styled betler class, who may assume to have more respectability than their neighbors. If the zovernment of South Carolina is not good enough for any of her high-toned, touchme-not citizens, then they should appeal to the people. With them rests all power, and they are all-powerful to raise up one or to cast down another. * i * " The School RoimJn. We learn that the School Kondsof the town of Abbeville are to be Issued aud sold about the first of April. BeltevlDg that these bonds ought to be owned by our own people, we call attention to tie fact. If people at a distance buy these bonds Abbeville will for thirty years pay tribute to other people. And will therefore help to build up other places at our own expense. Let the legality of their issue be looked into by some good lawyer, to see if the law is all right, and to see if all the requirements of the law have been strictly complied with. Was the election properly advertised? Was the election held in accordance with the law? In Khort. ?r? we letrallv hound for them f If so. they are a good investment, and we hope thai the people of the town or county may buy them. They are exempt from ail taxation, and if legally issued would make a fine Investment. ? CLOSED THE TAX BOOKS. The People Make a Goad Showing, But OftieerM or the Government Cause a Deficiency in the Railroad Taxed. Last Saturday Treasurer Blake closed his collections, without penally. He speaks cheerfully of the manuer in which the people have paid, and says that, comparatively, there are Tew delinquents ihis year. Un to tills lime about 9,000 tax receipts have been issued. Owing to the fact that the Georsla, Carolina and Northern Railroad paid SI,:XW under protest, and the R. & D.'s tender of over ?8,000 was refused, there will be a deficleucy In the treasury, and a portion of the county and school claims will not be paid. No more money will be paid until after 5th of March. Just now it Is not known what action will be taken as to payment of the demands which are still due. The County Commissioners may borrow the money, and pay everybody in lull, or they may conclude to pay Interest on outstanding debts and let the creditors hold on to their claims. And so It i?, that the evil resulting from the Governor's action lu assessing bis owu property at thirty cents on the dollar, while assessing the railroads at a tiundred cents on the dollar has been brought home to us. The railroads protested against the discrimination between themselves, public officers, and privjite citl'(Qiil' orwl hiit'iionniiloJ In Iko i'mirtl li. ,o. dress their wrongs, and It may lake a year to settle this matter. A We see it slated tn the newspapers that'he trouble with the railroads will keep about 8150,000 out of the State treasury, and we presume this deficiency will excite the present officers as much as did Alexander's foolish tender of $10,000 of worthless paper in payment for the Agricultural Hall. The reform government seems to bo setting into a sea of trouble. Besides the deficiency which they have caused by extortion on the railroads, the banks have won their suits in the Courts for a correction of their assessment, and this will make a further deficiency of a large amount in the State treasury. The warlare on the banks and othijr corpo rations has sent the bonds of the State below par, and, unless some of the much-i.bustd inouey power comes to the relief of the government, the State will have an empty treasury, at a time when money and good credit are needed. , # m* Negroes of Georgia have made an appeal to the Govenor of that Slate for aid to enable them to emigrate to Africa. It takes a fraction less than three seconds for a message to go from one end of the Atlantic cable to the other. There are more Germans than Irish in the lTnited States. Sale of Parker'* "Haul.*' The Agricultural Hall In Columbia was sold to the highest bidder last Sale Day. J \V. Alexander bought it for$16,l(il, which was made payable in three installments. Last Tuesday, Mr. \V. H. Lyles, attorney for Alexander, paid the first installment in mon-1 ey, received the titles, gave the required M mortgage for ttie remainder, and afterwards | during the same day, tendered Dine Kidge Scrip in payment of Ihe two credit installments, which of course, was refused by Treasurer Bates. < A great Hurry was immediately occasioned in ofllcial circles, and the Governor ordered the clerK of uie uouri uoi 10 recora me uues, i and sent an armed guard to take possession of the building, while the unemployed una idle members of Tillman's political pot immediately began to count up the number of1 votes that would accrue to them because oi; this foolish tender of worthless paper. The j Governor's impulses in this matter were en-1 tirely faithful to his ofllciol trusi, hut he ex-1 ceeded his authority when he ordered.'lie clerk of the Court not to record the transfer in his book, and when he put an armed guard in possession of the building he did wh'it he had no authority in law for doing. The property was then Mr. Alexander'sHe had paid the first payment in cash. To Mr. Alexander had been delivered the titles, and of course the property was his, subject to the payment of tne credit portion, me i ici that he offered Blue Ilidge Scrip or any other trifling paper in payment of the deferred part of the purchase money did not work a forfeit to his title. Those members of the political pot who were not otherwise engaged have made Tillman a great hero, A if to do his duty was a strange occurrence, and the whole opposition to Tillman are being charged with a great sin because ol Alexander's efl'ort to get something for nothing. Mr. Lvles. the attorney tor Alexander, is a Has kelite?lie having boiled at the last election, and voted for Mr. Haskell against the regular nominee of the organized Democracy. The anti-Tillmanites are, therefore, no more chargeable with Mr. Lyies's sin than are the Tillmanltes. Mr. Lyles may b6 said to be now not in politics, as it is probable that neither wing of the Dernocralic party will utilize the services of any bolter in lSilQ. Hut if the other side can make anything out of that circumstance they are welcome to it. It seems that they arc more anxious to realize some benefit from a matter which is of no consequence, than they are to give the Governor credit for having done his duty. March Convention. We ask attention to the call for a March Convemlou, which we publish elsewhere. The opponents of the dominant clement have a perfect right to call a Convention, and they have a perfect light to meet and consult and adopt the best methods t>y which their purposes nnd aims may he accomplished. Boiled nown, the document to which reference is had may be considered nsan arraigument of Tillman. However just thnturralgnment may be, yet we think something else could have been said. This country, the State, as well as the people, are now in great financial straights. We need to have our credit restored. We need public confidence in our bonds, and we need the restoration of individual credit in the money markets. The fact that Governor Tillman characterised some of his followers as "driftwood," is a personal matter between him and his followers, for whom he iias such contempt. If they can stand it, we needn't care. But every public spirited citizen is Interested in the refunding of our bonds, and the fact that they are to be' come uue ai mis nine is uiuinuni uiuui luuuir event that has befallen us under this administration. Tiie depreciation of our State bonds in mar" ket value since Tillman's appearance on the slaue will amount to something like SiOO.OOO. Tlie.v were at a premium, and now our six per cents are at a discount. The credit of the State was so good two years ago that the present administration thought th?y could float four per cents at par. The result of their incompetency and general warfare on capital, is, that the six per cents arc below par, and It would be a wise man indeed who could tell to where Tilltriau and his associates will yet drive the four per cents. This country needs a wise and conservative government?one that will respect the rights of all classes. If the March Convention can nominate, and the people will elect, a man to IHU KUVCUIUIMUJi W IIU W ill icaiuiu UUI V*l vuiv and give peace to our excited and nervous citizenship, they will have done indeed :i noble work for South Carolina. W6need re.-t. We need the promised peace. We need to have our credit restored. We need a governor who will regard the finances of the State as of more Importance ttjan the gratification of his own ?habby spite against a broken judicial officer who did his duty. We need a govern" or who will be a governor of the whole people, but we do not need a dictutor, who may assume control of the executive, the legislative and the judicial departments of the government for the purpose of oppressing corporations, or others. One meat need Is the election of members of 1 he General Assembly who may have at least a decent ability to discharge the high and important trust. The day for amassing at Columbia on aggregation oi Incompetent and useless representatives has passed. The experiment of sending lo the capital alleged representatives who have no higher ambition than to become the subservient tools ol any Governor lias not been to our credit. May we not hope then that our farmers will hereafter look more to the ability or competency of the men whom they may elect to the Legislature, than to their well known unfitness for the place?and to which they were heretofore chosen because of their esneclai unfitness for legislation. The time for boasting that the Ignorance unci the prejudice of a country may be massed against light, reason, facts, and common sense, is in a large measure out of date. The shameless pretense that the decent people of this State will vote for an oftlcer merely because Ills short-coinings and unbecoming oiHcial conduct has been exposed is not to the credit of the people ol South Car. olina. The Political Situation. ! At present we believe there is considerable I disalfection from the Tillman ranks, but we do not believe that Tillman can be beaten. We do not believe the opposition, no matter what its numerical strength, can beat Tillman for the simple reason that they are di viued amongst themselves. Tiiere are at least two factions in the ranks of the opposition? the Ilasliellltes and the anti-Haskeilitcs. The great mass of the Democratic party will J be slow to give tlieir votes to any bolter. ! Tillman is a bitter pill to many of our people, but It is the patriotic duty of every good citizen to maintain the Integrity of the party In South Carolina. We believe In a rule by the people, and it a majority of the Democratic parly name a can-1 < dldate, tlien It Is our duty to support hlin. I We have nothing to gain by going back on our neighbors and friends. We have everything to loss by quitting the company of our kindled and the men ol our own race. We 1 have a light to oeatTillman, if we can, but we i are in honor bound to stick tothenomina- ' tion, after it is made. At present the opposition to Tillman can < not harmonize. The newspapers can not ge on the sa ne platform, uud the individual 1 members of the opposition are unalterably 11 divided. It may not be that the bolters are!( trying to take charge of the Democratic par- j J ty, but It looks a little that way to us. The other wing of the Democratic party which op-'' posed Tillman Is, we presume, as much op-,1 posed to giving the management or the parly ' t to the bolters, as they are to giving the Gover-! norsliip to B. 11. Tillman. Harmony then is out of the que>lion. Willi-, * out harmony, we can do nothing against Till. J man's organized forces. I 7 .: v: - . .

The Oltl A?'R<lcmj Lot is Clior.cn as I Ibe Kite lor Our Temple of Learn1MB. We think a majority of our citizens will he glad to learn thai the Trustees of the New School Building have bought from the owners, the olu academy lot on which to erect the comteinpiatcd handsome structure for rsrhoo! purposes. Tne price paid was low?SI,000. The old building Is to be torn down, and a building of modern architecture will take the place of the old bouse which bus so long been a sutiled ol remark becauseot its dilapidated con diiion and Its evident unfitness lor me purposes for which It- was used. The owners held It under title providing that tile lot should revert to the grantor or his legatees lu case it should lie used lor others thun school purposes, hence the low price ut which it was bought. The lot is h central one. and Is perhaps hotter suited lor the school than any oilier which i;ouiu be had for any reasonable sum. Hut the best part of this transaction Is the removal from our midst of a frulllul source uf dissatisfaction among our people, The lot was bought with 110 especial value being set upon the building, as It to be lorn down. And so the public school house, which has been private property, becomes the property Jl" the town, and the location of our Institution of learning has been definitely settled as [ar as this generation Is concerned. Let our citizens now see that the bonds arc e^ally bomb-proof, and made a safe investment. As a matter of public good 1! is better that lie bonds be owned by our own people. Black goods.

"Our Congressman Is a man of superb Intel- ' lect and is proving himself to be apeople's i man. His friends are watching bis course j juiit in 1843, nearly fifty years ago. Original cost $7,000. Suppose* it had been insur- -J nl for $5,000 from that time until the day it tvas destroyed. We presume the premium ;ould not have been less than one per cent. 1 :>r $50 a year. As interest nearly doubles itself at seven per cent, in ten years, let us make a little calculation: First premium 1884 $ 50 00 Principal and interest to 1854 100 00 Principal and interest to 1864 200 00 Principal and interest to 1874.- 400 00 Principal and interest to 1885 800 00 Second premium 1845 50 00 Principal and interest to 1855 100 00 Principal and interest to 1805 200 00 Principal and interest to 1875 400 00 Principal and interest to 1885 800 00 We have not run out the calculation, but enough is shown to prove two things, namely: The great increase of money when put at interest for a long term, and to show that the authorities or trustees of the college lost nothing, but saved much, by their neglect or refusal to insure the college building. If the lirst two premiums of $50 each and interest would be now worth $1,600, the other premiums woidd run up the figures to a sum no doubt far in excess of the value of all college buildings, male and female, the society and commencement halls, the church budding, and all the libraries within their walls. If the college should have been insured, then Lindsay Hall, and the Society Halls should have also been insured. In that time many times over woidd the full value of all the buildings have been paid out for insurance. The fact is this, those who insure will certainly in the end lose the value of their building in cost of insuring. * But those who fail to insure may never lose a cent, while it is also true that they may lose the whole in a very short time. Wliile in many instances it is bad policy and poor business principle to neglect to in sure, yet it is equally true that tnere are many persons who ought not to insure at all. For instance, the Associate Reformed church, as a body, are richer than the insurance companies, and, therefore, after thev recover from the present strain to build their new College, they should not insure. The same is true iii reference to the jail and the Court House at Abbeville. These buildings should not be insured. The people of the county are more able to take the risk than are the insurance companies. If a citizen has a large part of his estate in one building, or in one risk, then he ought to insure for a large per cent, of the value of the property. But if he is rich, and has many houses, then he ought not to insure any of them. Suppose, for instance, a single man owned all the houses in Abbeville. He would be foolish to insure. "We have not the ligures before us, but we presume that in no year has the losses exceeded forty per cent, of the actual premiums that would have been required to insure the property of the town. Take for instance, the ligures of 1880, which are before us. Paid for Loss Insurance. by tire.

Together with the extraordinary loss at Union by incendiary fires, made 1SSB an extremely unfortunate year for insurance companies, and yet their enormous profits. These are the figures which we have. They furnish food for thought, and those of us who look at these figuses can easily enough understand why the insurance companies are enabled to boast of their millions of dollars. If we take the financial statements of the fire insurance companies, together with the reports of assets belonging to the iife companies, we naturally conclude that the people of this country are crazy on the subject insurance, and that they throw away more money in this way than in anv other. The proof is conclusive that the premiums which are required to pay is far in excess of nn equitable amount. The insurance companies form a trust or an association by winch they regulate the nricenf insurance, and their boasted mil lions of capital is proof positive of the un- i L'onscionable manner in which the insurers I lire charged,and of the little vulue which is j returned to the policy holders. We ought to have competition in insur-' anee, and the people of the larger cities I might to organize local insurance couipa-1 nies. Properly managed, such companies \ would be of great benefit to the people gen- j [ rally, and the stockholders in these organ-1 izations would realize a better profit from I their investment than they could from their! L-apital if put into any industrial enterprise.! Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, Spartanburg, or perhaps smaller places, might organize insurance companies. Wo are surprised that Anderson, with all her energy and capital, does not organize a lire conmany and enter into active competition with the old line, or trust companies. The opening in no department is so good, riie fire companies have gradually increased their rates, until some property is charged about its full value.

"Christians" in Unchristian Business.?Mr. Moody, at Carapbelton, England, said the other day:ulf there is anything in your busineess that is wrong, you must give it up. 4Oh' but, you might say, 'that would ruin me, financially.' No matter; better be ruined financially than to go to the bar of God a disobedient child. If men could distil whiskey for. the glory of God, then let them go cn distilling whiskey; let them send a thousand barrels of it to the heathen, and some for the missionaries; and then let them pray over the matter, and see how they feel. They could sell whiskey to men. who might drink themselves to death, making their wives widows and their children fatherless, but it won't do tq turn round and say now?'I will give this widow and these children some money and think that the transaction wuujru ?4Utt?c, liui uuuiu a uiau wuu ill-treated hfi* wife and family wlieu he was worse of drink make up for it by treating them kindly wheu .be is sober." The Underlying Principle of Gen- , eral Booth's scheme for the releif [)f the poor commands greater respect in proportion asit Js more thoroughly examined. The old I way of helping the needy by giving alms does not meet the ' case. It should not be abandoned but enlarged. Very little permanent social improvem<nt arises from mere almsgiving. If one-half the money spent in helping the poor were used to^improve their surroundings and remedy the bad conditions of their lifemuch good would result. The weakness of the r)ld plau is thus set forth by Dr. Sbaw: "Here is a huge miasmatic swamp, with a diseased and helpless population. Great sums are spent to feed the people and give them medicines jubt where they are,when part, at leas', of the money might better have undertaken to drain the swamp or to put t the people in healthy sourroundings."
