TOWN MATTERS.
Feaafort is oat of debt and has
several hnndred dollars in the bank
to its credit. Next year a great deal
of property will be subject to taxation
which hitherto has been exemnt
" " r
Jbeoause in the hands of the government:
Fully a third more money
oan be raised next year by this
addition1 lo our taxable property,
with-the* same rate of taxation as
we are now paying.
In view of this favorable outlook,
oan we not stir up the council to a
llttfe- enterprise ? What has become
of the street lamp business.
Mr. Wilson proposed this measure
and seemed quite enthusiastic.
It was referred to him as chairman
fa committee two months ago.
Since then nothing has been heard
from him.
We should have some new drains
put down. We would here recommend
the artificial stone drain pipe.
Waterhouse & Ricker have some
samples af it of excellent quality.
It is absolutely indestructible after
it is laid, and keeps itself free. a3 it
has a smooth inside surface. The
health of the town demands tbe
oowrtrnction of drains \nstead of
the unwholesome and unsightly
ditches, which fill up with sand and
soon became so obstructed as to be
worse than useless.
The committee on wells and
pumps ought to give some attention
to their duties. We ought to have
some new pumps. Pure water and
plenty of it is necessary to health.
How many of our warden have
performed their duty by inspecting
their respective wards. We don't
believe any one of them can say
they have thoroughly looked after
the cleanliness and health of their
wards. Wake up, gentlemen.
Then we want some improved
streets. The work on the sand bog
on the west end of Bay street will
prove abortive unless a thicK coating
of marsh mud is placed [upon
the sand previous to shelling it.
The shells if put in now [would be
ground down into |the sand and
lbs! before a month of travel had
passed over it. In fact the marsh
mud without any shells would make
an excellent road. It does not be ome
soft during a rain, but packs
down hard and firm. This is evident
to anyone who has passed over
the causeways on the shell-road.
The only good places on that road
now are such as were treated to a
thick coating of the marsh mud.
Let us have a street sprinkler.
On windy days a walk^on Bay street
is perilious to the eyes and fatal to
cleanliness and clothing. To have
the street sprinkled four or five
twnea a day would not cost much.
The saving in temper and in dry
goods would be very great.
FROM THE GRANARIES TO THE SEA
On the 28th of next month the
national Agricultural Congress will
meet in Indianapolis to discuss the
means by whivh the producers of
. the west and the consumers of the
east and south may be brought into
such relations as will result in mutual
benefits. At present the four
states of South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida and Alabama are compelled
to huy about 50,000,000 bushels of
grain from the northwestern producers
every year. For this they
. pay on an average nearly $54,000,000.
But of this amount the west
ern grain growers get less than
$16,000,000. The $38,000,000
which the people of the consuming
states pay over the amount realized
by the producer is divided among
different transportation companies.
To remedy this state of things
the farmers of the west meet in
convention. Many schemes will be
presented to the consideration of
this body. Two of them will be of
peculiar interest to those whose interest
are identified with Port Royal.
The first will advocate a great
government double track freight
railroad from Leavenworth to Port
Royal, over which any one who
chooses may send cars. This would
be in the nature of a turnpike. The
road would be provided by the government,
enough toll being demanded
to keep it in order. By such a
road, it is claimed, corn could be
transported from Kansas to South
Carolina, for ten cents per bushel;
the present cost is not less than
forty $ents.
The other project depends for its
success upon private enterprise. It
has its western terminus at Kansas
city, in the very centre of that great
northwest which has been aptly
called the granary of the world,
and its eastern terminus on Port
Royal harbor.
The route proposed may be briefly
described as running .through
Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee,
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia
and South Carolina, via Kan
sas city, Springfield Memphis, Burmingham,
Macon, and Port Royal,
This route, traced upon any map
v/f the United States, will be seer
to be singularly free from mountains
and other natural obstruc
tions, and it traverses a section ol
the country in which the climate is
a perpetual guarantee against block
ades from stress of weather. Th<
aggregate length of the line ii
about nine hundred and sixty miles
which is a saving of some three hun
dred miles in the distance from th<
praries to the Atlantic, by way o!
New York, Boston, Philadelphia
Baltimore or Norfolk.
At Port Royal is to be establishec
a grand transportation depot, when
the iron, grain, lumber, cotton, &c.
brought to the seaboard will b<

South America, and it is believe(
that the steam and sailing ve3seii
thus attracted to the South Atlan
tic coast will be enabled to offei
such advantageous rates of fare U
passengers as to give a material im
pulse to the western immigration.
We believe that one of these pro
jects will be an accomplished fac
within the nftct ten years. Fron
Cincinnati the Ohio valley ii
stretching its iron arms to For
Royal. The railroad connectior
between the Queen city and Knox
ville is a necessity, and though i
has been delayed by rival interesti
it is sure to be made.
From Knoxville, through Rabur
Gap to Anderson, S. C., andthcnc<
down the valley of the Savannah t<
Augusta is the shortest and bcs
route for the great provision trad<
of Cincinnati on its way to south
ern and foreign markets. The tim<
for the completion of this route ii
nearer than appears on the surface
We feel ssfe in predicting the arri
val of a through car from Cincin
na'i, through the Blue Ridge, a
Port Royal within three years.
THE LUMBER BUSINESS IN BEAU
FORT COUNTY.
The great value of our railroad to thi
county can partly be measured by th
statistics of the lumber business of th
past year. We have made inquiry o
the various mill men on the line of th
road and have made a careful estimate o
the number of feet of resawed lumbe
shipped over the road to Port Royal
Charleston and Savannah. Eight mill
have sawed and shipped, in the yea
ending April 1, 187J, over twelve millioi
feet of lumber.
The value of this lumber, at the mill
has averaged, probably, twelve dollar
per thousand feet, or nearly one and i
half million dollars for the year's product
Tti? increase in the value of land in thi
county is, wc think, fully, one millioi
of dollars. When it is considered tha
only a fringe upon our timber belt ha
been cut it will be realized now great ai
addition to our wealth has been made b;
the completion of the Port Royal railroad
The busiuess of the next year is cer
tain to be greatly in excess of tho last
Maj. Man din expects to cut during th<
coming year at the rate of 250,000 fee
I per month.
Stcnmcj'cr & Stokes are enlarging theii
facilities and will cut quite as much ai
Mauldin. Yarn <fc Ward, Owen, Holmes,
ITudgins, and others are preparing lor ar
increase of business. We have no doubi
that two millions of dollars will be re
ceivcd next year by tbe Port Royal mills,
New engines and cars have been ordered
by the road to accommodate this traffic
and the proprietors at Port Royal are ofr??,a:i;?;od
nrwimmodntions tr
Il'IIU? iUVIIUlvo ? ?
the mill men to construct wharves, upon
which lumber may be stored, insured and
drawn upou, for shipment to foreign
ports.
Maj. Mauldin has an order now foi
half a milium feet for the Spanish West
Indies to bo furnished during the summer.
The Sumter Election.
The Sumter election was a curious
affair. The conservative citizens generally
admit that Suarcs is abetter man than
Sudcr; that the ticket for wardens on
that ticket was quiet as good, if not better
than that of the Suder ticket; and
that Suares would certainly have been
elected if he had not been supported by
Gov. Moses. That killed him. Suares
should keep out of bad company.
A Rhode Island graveyard has on a sea
captain's tombstone this affecting epitaph:
"He's done a' catching cod and
gone to meet his God."
Phosphates. {
The phosphate companies in the vicinity
of Bull river were never so successful
at at present. The Oak Point dredges
are lifting an average of two hundred tons
of crude rock per day. The Marine &
River eompany have been digging for
some weeks in Parrott creek. They have
secure! and piled up over three thousand
tons of very superior rock at that poin'?
The same company have prospected in f
other creeks in this vicinity and have c
found beds of loose rock very accessible, (
, in sevoral localities. Operations will prob- ]
ably commence between Beaufort and J
Port Royal about July 1. 1
The vessels engaged in this trade have i
been particular unfortunate. About a ,
' third of those taking cargoes of cmde (
rock from here have been lost or dam.
aged. Lloyds have refused to insure 1
vessels loaded-wholly with crude phos- f
phates. This is a great draw-back on the 2
' trade. t
' It is evident that bad stowage has been I
1 the cause of the disasters. The com pa- 1
. nics must give earnest attention to this J
matter, or the inability to get vessels will 1
p put an end to their business. ?
The true remedy, is for them to make 1
3 a depot for their rock at Port ltoyal. i
Vessels can then take in a few hundred i
? tons of phosphate and the rest of their <
j cargo in cotton. Such mixed freights i
would be unobjectionable to iusurers. At
5 Port Royal, too, those vessels wishing to i
take a full cargo of phosphate would find
} ^umber plenty and cheap to build up 1
f properly to receive the rock. Much of '
it would also find its way to Charleston
' and Savannah by rail. Freights would
be lower at this point because insurance
1 would be lower than that demanded for 1
; entering the shallower and more difficult '
f entrance of St. Helepa Sound. At Port
? Royal, it seems to us, the whole pilosis
phate tra It must ere long be concentrated.
i Q
3 School Money.
Our county treasurer made a draft on
r Cardozo last week for our quota of the 1
school fund, amounting to fifteen, thou'
sand dollars. It was returned protested.
* I This is only for the year beginning Nov. '
1, 1872. We have not yet had a cent of
. the school appropriation of last year.
, Neither did we get a cent out of the deficiency
tax collected to pay such claims.
Other counties got one-third of their last
3 year's quota, but Beaufort county was
t overlooked entirely ? What was our
i Senator doing, that he allowed such in- '
. justice. What were our seven able, honest
and industrious representatives about
all winter, that they should allow our
3 teachers to be thus defrauded?

the Port Royal Railroad.

Their age the same, thqMttncllnatic A* toe,
And hred together In onelraool they Rre*."
In 1791 was incorporated the Society
or promoting acd encouraging the eduction
of children, and assisting and csablishiog
schools for that purpose in
Beaufort District. This seems to have
>ecn the first movement, after the Revoution
looking to educational advancenent.
The act names John Smith, Sen.
John McPherson, Cornelius Dupont and
)thcrs.
"The Beaufort College" was founded
)y legislative enactment in 1795, and tho
ollowing prominent and influential citizens
designated as the first board of
rustces, viz. John Barnwell, Robert
Barnwell, W. II.*Wigg, William Elliott,
Stephen Elliott, Ilenry Ilolconibc, Thos.
Fuller, John McPherson, John A. Cuthlert,
John Jenkins Sen., William Fripp,
John Bull and John M. Verdier. In
'urtherauce of the Jobjcct in view a large
ind commodious building was erected on
1 commanding site, west of the present
court house. It was built of tabby, at
that time very extensively used for such
purposes. The location proved unhealthy;
and a wooden structure of modest pretensions
was substituted. This was erected
on Craven Street, east of the residence
of D. C. Wilson, Esq., whence it
was removed nearly fifty years ago, to
the lot now occupied by the Female Seminary,
at the corner of North and Newcastle
Street, where it remained until the
erection of the present brick structure,
more eligibly situated "down town.'' The
liberal endowment of this institution enabled
its trustees to offer an excollent ed
uoation at an almost nominal cost A
number of unclaimed lots in Beaufort
and any property in the District whicl
might appertain to the State by virtue o:
escheat were generously bestowed on the
"College." Some of those lots were dis
posed of at very exorbitant prices, when
on a previous occasion, our citizens were
speculating on the vast future of Beaufort.
There is lying before me, a convey
ance of three ( 3 ) lots, without any im
pruveiuuiius uij mum, situttuju tuu, in uu
north western part of the town, for which
the purchaser paid "four hundred anc
fifty-four (454 ) pounds sterling. 1" Oth'
ers more eligibly situated commanded
even larger figures. Most of these salef
were effected so advantageously to th<
College, about the year 1801.
The fuud realized from such sources waj
invested in stock of the U. S. Bank ; and
so considerable was the revenue tiusderived,
that the Board was enabled to so*
cure at all times, the services of a olassica
teacher of the highest grade, with ac
assistant fully competent to instruct ir
mathematics, (including algebra and
geometry,) and all the English branches.
The cost for instruction in these twe
departments, was thirty, and tweuty dollars
respectively, per annum.
These extraordinary advantages wort
not neglected by our people. There wcrt
none too poor to send their sous at sucl
low rates,?none too penurious to give
them education when st^liberally offered.
This noble institution, the foster-child oi
our community, contiuued for years te
distribute its blessings, to shed its light
on all who camo within the pa'c ofiti
benign influences. Nor were its gifts re
stricted to the youth of Beaufort, or o
South Carolina; its doors were open U
all, come whence they might This "Col
lege" has laid the foundation upon whicl
has been erected a superstructure which
has shone with brilliancy in every walk o:
life. The legislative halls of South Caro
lina and of the United States have cchoei
the voices of those who had been its pu
pils, advocating, with no pigmy force
the rightsof an oppressed and ovcrridder
minority. The judge's bench, the chaii
of the professor, the governor, the cdito:
the gown of the advocate and the clergy
man; yea, the mitre of the bishop,
these have all been adorned by the off
spring of this Alma Mater.
The failure of the kauking 'institutior
in whose securities the trustees had ?
largely, and so confidently invested it
funds, entailed upon it irretrievable loss,
This disastrous event necessitated au ad'
vancc in the rates of tuition; and th<
English pupils were assessed at thirty
while those in the classical department
were required to pay forty douars pei
annum. This enhanced rate was still
within the means of all, hence a commu
nity of proverbial intelligence was the
result. Such were the reading habits o
our people that the fact was publicly no
tieed at the general post office in Wash
ington, that the newspaper postage o
this town exceeded that of any other ii
the U. S. of the same population. In
deed, there was scarcely one house when
a newspaper was not taken.
When the .South Carolina College wa:
reorganized in 1835, not less than thrci
of its professors were chosen from Beaufort,
two of them natives, and the third :
resident of several years, original'}' o

To extend more widely its influence for

even earlier, it was duly incorporated bj
legislative enactment in 1807. The cor
porators were "Stephen Elliott, Milton

and valuable books,?most of them fine,
English editions,?became the nucleus
around which we?c accumulated yearly
additions. The former were the ricl
gifts of generous donors, who though
they were thus entailing even to thei:
children's children, a literary legac;
which neither political discord nor th<
strife of arms would have snatched away
But who knows the rapacitiy of an army
Not only were all the private collections o
books seized and sent away upon the re
duction of the earthworks at Port Royal
in 1861, sharing thus the common fate o
all private effects] but the Library aliK*
was removed, and, transported to Wasl
