Thos. J. Adams, Editor. EdfjeSeld, S. C., Dec. 3, 1885. Prohibition. The election last week in Atlanta indicates that the prohibitionists are on deck again. They carried the day in the gale city hy a majority of abont 216, votes. However, old Joe Brown is on the side of the liquor men and ._B?KToo.mh8>ay8;tbat he is an awful good Baptist, so we cannot say which ia right or beat. Oar little town "^sampled" prohibition a year ago and we have gone back to a state of j wetness again, BO perhaps the remedy fi did not snit the disease. Prohibi tion ia a big thing any. way, and if it ever gets into""politics, it will be like the. wind, which " bloweth where it iiatsth and thoa hearest the sound . thereofrbnt canst not tell whence it cometh and whither it goeth."

Vice-President Hendricks was not a brilliant man, but he was eminently practical, astute, sagacious and clear beaded, and althongh in tensely democratic, his advice and opinion was sought by all parties. He wil: be sadly missed in the council? of the nation. We believe he was absolutely incorruptible. The Governor's Message,-Addi tion al Appropriations Needed. The Governor a' message givea the aggregate of the State debt aB $C, 522,188.51--practically, the same as last'yean' The total revenues of the State for the fiecaA year ending Nov. .84, $2,089,000, of which $1,936.000 was raised by taxation and $157,000 frdm*" phosphate royalty. It recom . mends a levy-pf $794.000 for ordina ry Stale purposes for the fiscal year commencing let Nov. 1885. For the soldiers of the State disabled in the Confederate war, an appropriation of $30,000 ia asked;, for the Penitentia ry $25,000; for the South Carolina College and Cia il in University ap propriations are asked in the discre tion of the Legislature, aB also the Columbia Canal. The State House needs from $80,000 lo $120,000. The Lunatic Asylum seemB^to be in a more satisfactory condition than ever before, and $39,000 less than last year will suffice for the mainten ance of these unfortunates. An ap propriation is also expected to be made for taking the State Census probably $25,000. The report of Secre tary of State and Sinking Fund com mission shows that 2,407,254 acres of land in the State are not reported for taxation, af all, and that 912,870 acres are on the forfeited land list. 98 per cent, of last year's taxeB were paid. The Governor throws cold water aaihe establishment of County Courts but recommends an increase in the number of Circuit Judges, and that Trial Justices be appointed by the Governor upon the nomination of the Solicitor and Judge of the circuit. In Sight of. ihe Promised Land at Last. "After weary years ol waiting the fruition ofopshopeeiitaeemB, is about ta be realized. At a meeting of cor porators of the Augusta, Ed gene ld and Newberry Narrow" Gauge held yesterday at the law office of Norris & Folk, a letter W&B read from Preai dent Mitchell, announcing the fact that he had pot a canvasser in the field, of tried experience and success. This canvasser will reach our town in a few d?y^and our people are urged to meet him io. a spirit of liberality and to make a supreme effort to raise seary ttr**aaaxe tfe^ bbildiiy?.or the Road. Only $50^001 is asked forfroox the whole County. We say supreme effort because; unless we are willing to abandon the'-- town to tba owls and bats, this effort must be made. The corporators at this meeting ratified the action of Presi dent Mitchell in the following r?solu . tions : 1st, That we the corporators of the Augusta andVEdgefield Railroad Corn pan v ?pprbve-of-the appointment of Geo'. E. Goodrich, as a canvasaer for subscription to the capital stock of j said company. 2nd. That two per cent, on the sub scriptions of corporators and other subscribers be collected in cash to de fray the costs of a canvass for sub scriptions and of a survey of the road. 3rd. JT&?t a meeting of all aub scribors to the capital stock of said company be called at Edgefield Court House on the sixth day of January 1880 to organise the company. 4th. That at said meeting all persons who make unconditional subscriptions for a Railroad from Augusta via Edgefield Court House to Newberry, be permitted to participate in the or ganization. 5th. That-all subscriptions to said capital stock be taken to be payable at auch time and in such installments as may be prescribed by the Directors of said company, or the stockholders ia general meeting when the company ia organized and that thia apply to subscriptions already taken. 6th. That all funda collected by the canvassers be deposited with the Georgia R. R. & B. Co., to the credit I of the corporators pf said company, to | be paid out on their order. ':.:..;J. I*.

COLUMBIA, S. 0., November 25. th Houses of the Legislature met the usual hour this morning and ?ceeded to the consideration of billa L on the calendar from the last ses n. A number of matters of minor portance were disposed of in the late, and that body took np the I prepared by the Tax Commis uer, and amended by the Comp lier General, providing for a better teni uf tax laws for the State, and cussed it until the hour of adjourn nt. 3en. McCrady, of Charleston, has roduced the most sensible r?solu a yet offered, lt provides for the lointment of a committee to con er and report what steps, il any, i be taken to limit the number of i bills introduced in the General ?embly. If the General can sue d in ascertaining how this can be ie,, and have it done, he wil' be ideriug the State a great service, tfr.

Mr. R. D. Lee, of Sumter-A bill to provide for taking a State census. Col. Folk aaked for and obtained leave of absence for his colleague, Capt. J. P. Blackwell, to enable him to attend a reunion of the 9th Ohio regiment at Zanesville, Ohio, and re torn to the regiment its flag cap tured by Capt. Blackwell during the war. Col. Folk paid a very pretty tribute to Captain Blackwell's gal lantry, when as a mere boy io Vir ginia he distinguished himself by his splendid courage. The leave of nb sence was granted unanimously. The following letter from General Capers explains the object of Capt. Blackwell's visit to Ohio, and is a fit ting tribute to the services rendered his State on a great occasion : GREENVILLE, S. C., V November 24.1SS5. j My Dear Sir-I have agreed to re turn the flag of the 97th Ohio Vol unteers, captured by our regiment at Franklin, on the 30th inst. The eur vivora of the 07th meet at Zmesville, Ohio, on that day to receive their flag, and I wish you, as one of the parties immediately concerned in its capture, to bear it to them in my name and in behalf of the 24th South Carolina Volunteers. They T?ave sent me the most cordial invitation, and extended the same to any repreacntative of the 24th whom I may designate. It will be impossible for me to go to Zanesville, and as I particularly wish some one of the regiment to represent it on sr* interesting an oc casion, I knew of no one more suit able than yourself, who, with the gal lant Tillman, Anderson, Walls, J. E. 0. Carpenter, and others, took the colors of the Ohioans from the. hands of their flagman. If it is necessary for this purpose that you should ob tain a leave of absence for a few days from the sessions of the Legislature, I am sore that honorable body will readily accord it to you especially as yon go to do honor to South Caro lina on the soil cf Ohio. Telegraph me your consent. Most truly yours, E. CAPERS. To J. P. Blackwell, Columbia, South Carolina. The New Tux Bill Killed. The tax bill was taken up but its consideration had only been resumed for a few minutes when Senator Kirie, of Sumter, moved to strike out its en acting clause. He maintained that it was inquisitorial, that its provisions seemed designed to reflect upon the honesty of the taxpayers, that it was complicated and did not simplify ex isting laws, and that it was unneces sary in a State which paid OS per cent, of its taxes. In order to save several days of useless consideration, he made the motion to kill at this time. Senator Bobo said that the very characteristics of the bill which were i objected to by the Senator from Sum* i ^jc^e^01^ ^<d_rttoJrui. !*??>irnat.il ed in tho honesty" ol tho people of u South Carolina, more than in that ot ti any other people, bot he claimed that b if this " inquisitorial process" would n bring to book one tax dodger it ought S to be passed. No honest man could p object to telling the truth about his ti property. n Senator Smy the said that the bill n was no child ol his. He objected to a its provisions and if they were not si changed would vote against the bill C on its final reading. He did not like v some features which had been termed ' inquisitorial." But there were o'her ti features which commended themselves fi to his judgment and which he should a like ta see adopted. He thought that c it would be unfair to the framer.-; of a the bill, who had done their work d very carefully, and unwise for vf rions li reasons to kill the bill before the o Senators had had time to examine it h and improve it. - tl Senator Earle said that he had ti made the mo1 ion to save time and be ti lieving that the question might ns ti well be settled now. But in viow of g the desire of certain Senators to ex- il amine the bill more carefully he with- a drew his motion. ri The consideration of the bill bad, a however, hardly been resumed when ti Senator Earle, at the request of eev- oi eral Senators, renewed his motion to ei kill. There was no further debate, ci The opposition to the measure had n been carefully organizad and wa-? a confident of its strength. The vote a was as follows : b Yeas-Benbow, Blemann, Black, rr Byrd, Clyburn, Earle, Leitner, Max- ir well, Moody, Moore, of Anderson, Reynolds, Simmons-, Sligh, Smith, ei Todd, Talbert, Williams, Wingard al and Woodward-19. w Nays-Bell, Bobo, Buist, Field, te McCall,Mauldin, Mooro of Hampton, ei Monro, Patterson, Smythe and You- cr 01808--ll. I m iD.itor Earle moved to reconsider vote and then to table the mo The latter motion prevailed the bill was placed beyond re itation. iree rauaes apparently contributed tia re ault: First, the indisposition on legal members to go into the y of euch a huge bill; second, ?elinga that the bili waa too " in i tori al" to Buit the people, and 1, OS per cent, of tax collectiona the deduction therefrom : "Let enough alone." r.

Although there are a great Y members of the Legislature, lome of them stringent economista, they were not invited to the ing. The reportera were admit reely. .

Speeches on the necessity and pos libility of retrenchment were nude jy Col Racker and Senator Moore of j A-ndereon, Mr. Ready of Edgefield, Senator Moody of Marion, Mr. Scud lay of Anderson, and others. Senator Black, of York, introduced i resolution which was adopted, that ,he Chair with the assistance of a .ommittee of five, appoint a commit ee to investigate certain branches of | State expenditure and report upon ;he reduction in salaries, &c, which night be necessary. The committees innonnced were: On Penitentiary and ?anal, Representative Massey, chair nan, Senator Moore of Anderson, md Representative Gibson ; on de partment of agriculture, phosphate .oyalty and privilege tax, Represen .ative Pope, chairman, Representa aves Mciver and Pox ; on salaries of] State officers, judiciary,&c, Represen .alive Rocker, chairman, Representa ,ives Blake and Blue; on appropria .ions for educational institutions and lie military, Representative Scudday, chairman, Senator Moody and Rep -esentative Pettigrew ; ou palaries of :he officers of the Senate and House and other expenses, Representative McKissick, chairman, Representative Clinkscalcs and Senator Smith ; on Balary of superintendent and expense )f the Asylum, Senator Black, chair man, and Representatives Ready and Davie ; on Balary and management | of the office of railroad commissioners, Senator Sligh, chairman, Representa tives Rutland and Wharton. When the announcement of the committees was made several members took occasion to say that while they were in favor of economy, and would work and vote for economy, they would not be bound by any caucus decision. Some of the movers of the plan explained that the decisions of the caucus were not to be binding od individuals who objected to them. What they sought waa unity of judg ment and unity of vote. They want ad to get information on expenditures, and discuss retrenchment in the caucus. At 9:30 the caucas adjourned, to meet- agaiu next Wednesday night at 8 o'clock, when the reports of the committees are expected. & Pleasant Account of a Trip to Charleston, Atlanta, and Minor Ptiols. For tho Advertiser. MB, EDITOR: Hoping it will be intereating to the many readers ol THE ADVERTISER, I will give you a short accouut of my recent visit to Charleston, the "City by the Sea," and Atlanta, the New York of the Bouth and other places of lesa impor tance. Charleston is, as everybody knows, built on the narrow strip of land be tween the Ashley and Cooper rivers, whoso bottoms are of pure, rich phos phate rock, which is made into Guano ind sold and used in almost every ?State and Territory in the Union, ex cept perhaps in the Indian Territory and they are too uncivilized co use anything bo! their blood stained tom P^O?j i^l-Uyj fatal bows am! Arrows n which they are skilled to ? perfec ion. These rivera, with their rich eds of rock, which is made into Gua o and which yields annually to the late many thousand dollars as Phos hate Royalty, are being developed 3 an amazing extent. Charleston ?9 oted for its being the oldest settle lent and town intheState and there, s a matter of coursp, will be found ame of the oldest houses in South ?arobna. The atreefa are narrow and ery irregular. Among tho principal places of in srest, the Citadel Academy stands ret, whose doors a few puritanical nd political soreheads and aristo ratic mugwumps are trying to close ud thereby debar many ol the most eaerving young men ol South Caro na from obtaining the advantagea f a higher education. It is lo be oped that their insidious enmity to bis Institution will bc overcome and bat they will be defeated in their at ?inpt to crush out this Lright educa* onal light, from whose walls have one some of South Carolina's most lustrions ra*n, who have, and who re now, filling many o? the most ?sponsible positions in the State ; nd that the Academy will soon re un to the same lolly plane it once scupied and receive the praiso and ncomiums bf this great and growing gantry. ' The Academy is located ear the centre of the city aud ia in very flourishing condition, its green nd parade grounds are unequaled y any, and they would be an oma lent to any city. The buildings are i excellent and perfect order. In the centre of the green will be rected the Calhoun sarcophagus [ready in course of construction hich the last legislature appropria ?d three thousand dollars to have ?ected to forever perpetuate the sa ed memory of South Carolina's oat illustrious son and statesman. viii stand asa monument forever. Sear this monument is standing a ill portion of a long rock wall, en ?ed t>y an iron railing, which once ended from the Ashley river on ?Rat. to tho Cooper riv*r on the ?t. Thin wall waa built by the ly settlers tu protect themselves n the murderous raids of ever 3d thirsty Indians, it stands there served as a sacred reminder, to r testimony to the end of time of long sufferings undergone by our ?fathers. 'he Academy, under the new man? mentof Gen. Geo. D. Johnson, the d but firm superintendent, with sent outlook, is and will be a grand ?ess. Gen. Johnson, who came mg us from Alabama highly rccom ided, is a clever, kind and courte gentleman and will make a most ellent superintendent. He is mild firm and sustains the rules and elations in the mildest but firmest mer. Gen. Johnson will be in the r future an honor to the State as 1 as an honor to the Academy, 'he United States Custom House, ch cost several million dollars, ia lace of much interest..
