' Tbe city of AbbevHle wlll soon Issue sewer. ll ace bonds to the amount of 920,000. The fact ^ ibat tbe Legislature In its wisdom made no provision for tbe non-taxing of five per cent, bonds precludes tbe possibility of selling tbem to our own people. When these bonds are sent away tbey will never be assessed by oar State and County, and tbe Interest goes I from Abbeville to enrich other communities, even as the rents of Ireland go to the English landlord.' It matters nothing to the welfare t, of tbe State if th citizens owe each other large amounts, and if they pay each other great sums in Interest. The money in such ? cases Is kept at home, and is not withdrawn }< from circulation.' This, however, is a question of polioy and 0 the publlo welfare. o 'i , There Is still another'side to the proposl- 81 tlon to tax bonds which are Issued by the a State and tbe cities of the State. When the State, or any city, comes down from its exalt- fr ed position and goes into tbe market to bor- F row money on Its note, or bond, It places it- b self on the level of the Individual. Tbe con- y tract to lend or to borrow is consummation of n an agreement, even as between two citizens. A And tbe oontraot of each shoald be, and is, H legal and binding on both parties as to the b faithful performance. The citizen lends his ^ money. The 8tate or tbe city takes It and ^ gives a note or bond for tbe payment of both ai tbe prinolpal and the Interest. . When this Is done, Is It right or equitable for the State to atop np to a higher level than p any other debtor may occupy and then con- |( ;.v, flscate part of the money which It has bor- D rowed? Ha| tbe State, or the city, tbe right to oom- ^ pel tbe bolder of Its note or bond, to surren- ti tder one oent ol bis debt In tbe shape of taxes? H Is It not, In plalb terms, nslng tbe power of 84 tbe State to compel tbe bo'der of bonds to a discount bis bondB, even If It be under tbe d name of taxes? 11 Take, lor. Instance, the City of Blind Tigers: w Tbe tax levy In that pity, we believe, Is foar per cent, or mora Suppose then, a citizen ol the City of Blind Tigers should buy Abbe- v wIIIa'm flua ru?r'nanf hnn^h r?f vhat tfhrth V ??. ? would tbey be to blm If four per cent were g1 nasally confiscated by the City Of Blind y Tigers? Tbe oonstltutlon forbids cities from lssnlng bonds, exoept for oorporate purposes. Should u tbe olty af Abbeville or tbe State of Soutb b Carolina be allowed to. tax tbe bonds wblob " Abbeville proposes to Issue for sewerage? b Weoontend that tbere Is no equity lu tbe u taxation of sucb bonds by either the State or tbe olty. Tbe Constitution authorizes their ^ Issue for tbe speolflo purpose. No tax Is levied oa public utilities. The city does not tl collect tax on Its water works. The State of w Soutb Carolina collects no tax upon tbe bridges, the Court House, tbe Jail, tbe poor h farm or other property of the county. And D tbe 8ttte has no right to tax tbe bouds of a d> municipality. * a For a State or a olty to assess Its own bouds, ? Is to exercise the right of tbe strong to take Ie Iks <coob- tl Wbile other conditions may exist to affect 11 tbe price of city bonds, yet It 1b trae that tbe ft aven per cent school bonds of Abbeville, 11 wblcb are non-taxable, oommand a premium " of, say.18 per oent. the shop bonds, which are b not by law, exempted from taxation are sold b or bought at par. If tbe sewerage bonds bad g Pbeen exempt from taxation, they would probably have been bought by our own people, jj and tbe annual Interest kept at borne. jz We know nothing as to tbe legal authorities g on tbe subjfcct of allowing political corporations to tax Its own bonds, but we have no J doubt as to the IdJusUc of the praotlce. If a P State or a city may confiscate one per cent. 11 of its debt why not confiscate, or repudiate, r| the whole of It? u S gk?.. Let Miles Beat. Tbe retirement of Oen. Miles, beoause he G ' bad reaobed the age limit?84?and the lack of ? oourtesy on the part of the President, on his tl retirement, baa furnished occasion for a lot of unklndneaa of speech for the distinguished b military officer. Tbe matter of putting Irons on Mr. Davla Is tbe exoltlng cause of tbe pres- 0 ent onslaught. 0 Of oouree It was brutal to so treat Mr. Davis, tl and It may be right to harbor malice toward D the young offioer who did It. But If we are & going to embitter oar heart* and our speech, h there are thousands of other Instances that * might stir our souls. The unnecessary suffering'of tbe Confederate soldiers In Northern F prisons exoltes our sympathy more than tbe ? Indignity offered to Mr. Davla. That In- e dignity did not endanger bia life, and did not \ affect his good name, while we presume that d It will not be denied that unohrlstlan:treat- t, men I of Ibe prisoners of war ooat thousands 8 of Uvea. The life of a private was as dear aa ? 5? / the pride of the President. Another thing: It will be noticed tbat, as v rale, tbe old soldiers show less bitterness * than do tbe younger generation tbat was born and baa oome upon tbe scene since tbe a war was over. We wonld no more condone crbelty to Mr. Davis tban we wonld exouse tbe brutality practiced on our prisoners In Northern stock- Jj ade?, but we would not always keep fresh tbe memory or tbe one while negleotlng the a bard ldt of-the poor soldier, who may have 1 been captured. JL>et us forget tbe past, and B let us live In peaoe. Tbe name of Jefferson Davis will live forever In history, and tbat of * Kelson A. Miles will not soon be forgotten. Tbe nam^s of our dead soldiers are not even a memory today, while the deeds of cruelty tbat sent tbem to their graves are forgotten, b Tbe names of tbe cruel guardB and the names D of their victims are forgotten, while the bod- |j les of both mingle with tbe dust of tbe earth, t L<et old Miles rest. The mean aotlon of the 0 President is enough for him. v ' * t Manic In tbe Air. e Abbeville bas ever been noted for lt? ma- c slcal ulent, and never at any time have we n bad more p.onoanced evldenoe of.it than now. We have a variety of music; o 1. Tbe sweetest and the best moBlo is made by onr cburot choirs. y a. On tbe evening zephyrs are thrown tbe notes, musical and otherwise, of the local brass band as itpraotloes the art of "oonoord ofsweet sounds." c 8; Then from tbe grand stand, in tbe park * near the publlo well, In front of the_ Eureka f the band plays most excellent strains from a C well trained,'talented company of musiolabs. & 4. But to crown It all, eaob one Of as has u tbe nightly solo of the festive mosquito that lulls as to sleep by the melody of Its voice, ? or awakens us to stick our fingers in onf earn, ]( and to express our willingness to dispense 1 with maslo for tbe remainder of our lives. g 1? The Excursion. ? v Seven hundred and sixty excursion tlokets w?re sold over tbe B. A. L. last Monday, ft Many wblte people availed themselves of tbe ^ obeap rate and a great multitude of negroes went. Tbe bot weatber and tbe crowded 1 oars, made tbe trip a memorable one. Tbe d sweltering passengers bad compensation In contemplating tbe cheap tickets. Except for f the cheapness of the ticket It la probable that w some dt tbe passengers would have preferred a leas crowded*car. . V ... .
