We have time and time again called
lilt' the attention of our people to the'
great importance of holding on to evf
try inch of the territory we now have.
There is a new movement on foot to
"cut off" a portion of Orangeburg,
Aiken and Lexington counties in or
car to form the new county 01 Jtwnsro,
the county seat of which will be Wag?
ener or Perry.
There is no county in the State in
better bondition than Lexington; in
fact her financial condition is the
best in the State. Last year, after
paying all court expenses and -county
. claims, the treasurer had a balance of
over $3,000. Why should the people
of Lexington want this change? We
> contend that the little inconvenience
is not'sufficient to satisfy the selfish
j design of the promoters, who only
want to make the change for personal
. gain only. We have had protests
- from citizens living in the territory
proposed to be taken from us, against
the formation of this new county, and
%. we are surprised to see in this last
.. . move, men who should be the last to
! champion such a cause.
We trust that the good people of
3 this section will not heed the glowing
Jr pictures laid before them by the promoters
of this scheme, but will, at the ,,
proper time, raise a cry and by their
votes forever bury the proposed new
lv:.' countv.
ir We will.later give further facts and
r.. figures why the peSple of Lexington j
?; should not favor this move. j
fW xases. j
The tax levy for Lexington county
for next year La* been fixed by the ]
Legislature a9 follows: For State 1
purposes, 4 % mills ; ordinary county 1
tax, 3 X mills; constitutional school '<
tax, 3 mills; total, 11 mills. Interest r
on Columbia, Newberry and Laurens 1
railroad bonds, 7 % mills, while the (
State tax is one-half mill less than \
last year. Our county ' tax is the t
same. j
We have advocated and asked our
members to make a specific tax for c
sanding and chtytajg our roafi# like J
those of Barnwell hnd Aiken ooun- t
ties, which are creditable to those
counties. Lexington is greatly in J
need of better roads, and it is a re- j
fieetJbn to find her behind her sister t
| counties in this much needed improve- <
ment. The county expenses can be J
met with a 3 mill tax, and the half J
mill could easily be spared to drain, t
clay and sand the roads, thereby c
IP leaving the levy as it is now, and ^
without farther burdening our tax t
payers." We have implicit confidence i
in Supervisor Kocn and rely on his
good judgment in road work. Give \
him the power and he will do the 1
&v- rest. 1

We are glad to note the favorable i
introduction of a bill in the Legisla- 'c
tare to change the terms of court in J
the fifth judicial circuit, and trust the .

sions will be held at Lexington on the
third Monday in February, the fourth f
Monday in June and the first Monday c
in November. The cburt of common i
pleas on the Monday's following the ]
time fixed for the court of general j
sessions, the judge presiding having 3
the right to call calendars two and 1
three peremptorily at the close of the j
court of general sessions, if the court
of general sessions is adjourned before 1
the time herein fixed for the holding j
of the court of common pleas. i
Last week the editor of this paper
was in Columbia at the night session
of the legislature, and while Mr. Talbert,
a staunch prohibitionist was addressing
the house, and at a time
when you could have almost heard a
pin fail, so close did the speaker have
the attention of the audience, a pint <
V>ottleof "FussX" fell from the pocket
of a prominent Lexington county
gentleman. The incident was amusing
and attracted no little attention.
We might add that the gentleman is
a strong anti-dispensary man.
The trial of Harry K. Thaw, the
millionaire, charged with the murder
of Standford White, the architect, on
ft/.,
Madison Square Garden, JNew ion:, <
is attracting the attention of the pub- i
lie the world over. If the story of
the young and beautiful wife of Thaw
be true?and all who have read it confess
that they believe her story?
Standford White should have been j
killed years ago; yea, the world j
would have been better off had he I
never been bom. I

-life
This session of the' Legislature has
been a busy one, and we regret that
on account of our limited space we
have been forced to leave out many
important matters that have been disposed
of at this session. Most of the
bill9, however, have been local, and
we have tried to give an insight into
all matters of general interest, and
will, at the close of the se9si9n, give
a general review of the work done by
that august body of in en.
Among the many bills o' interest in
the legislature is one introduced by
Representative Nicholson, of Edgefield,
which carries an appropriation
of ?3,500 for the ' entertainment of
Confederate Veterans at their annual
reunions.. This is but just and right,
for the men who wore the grey is fast
passing away, and it will not be long
before they will have all passed over I
the river.
The editor of the News and Courier
hopes that A. Frank Lever will give
Uncle Joe "quarter" if he should ask
for it. Should the distinguished editor
enter the race for the United States
Senate we are willing to bet a "quarter"
that he will be crying for "quarter"
from some "quarter."?Orangeburg
patriot.?You bet, he will, if A.
Frank Lever is in the race.

Wittskind Has Arrived.
Charleston, Feb. 9.?The North German
Lloyd steamship Witcekind arrived
in port today on her second
voyage to Charleston from Bremen
with a number of immigrants and a
valuable cargo, docking at Columbus
street wharf shortly after 10 o'clock.
This big vessel arrived at quaran- '
tine last night about 7 o'clock. She
was boarded by Quarrantine Officer 1
Baylis H. Earle, and with a satisfac- 1
bory report upon the health of the vessel,
crew and passengers, she was released
and later she came np the har- !
fror at the head of the Columbus street 1
pier. The special facilities of this
wharf for the discharging of the kaiait
cargo suggested her docking here 1
rather than Tower down the water- front.
Several passenger coaches ,
were run down on a siding for the i
Movement of the immigrants out of j
Charl^ton tonight and. tomorrow. J
The discharging of the cargo of the ?
vessel will not be" begun until Mon-. \
lay. - |
Eighteen days were consumed on <
he voyage from Bremen to Charles- <
on, one day longer than on the first ]
nemorable trip of the vessel to <
Charleston last November. j
There were probably 50 people of j
lifferent nationalities, largely Ger- <
nan, who were.outside of the line on J
Columbus street, patiently waiting J
he landing of relatives and friends <
ind later in the day, when the immi- J
prants did come ashore, there were j
nanv verv affectine scenes between <
he newly arrived passengers and J
hose who had preceded them to this j
iountry. The conglomeration of <
landkerchief covered heads and dis- J
>lay of shawls and clothing of many J
solors and designs was striking as on <
he previous trip of the vessel. Many j
)f the immigrants were made to feel J
it home when they found their rela- <
ives and friends, clothed as before, ]
hey feeling that the new country J
,vas perhaps not so different from <
heir own after all. J
While the number of immigrants on !
:he second voyage of the Witcekind is 2
ess than on the former, the value of j
ler cargo is about the same. J
On the present voyage, the Witte- i
and brought 121 passengers. The j
mmigranta are largely Austrian with j
ibout 15 Belgians and some Hungari- ! <
ins and are of a much better class j <
han those of the former trip, a tact i<
it-tested to by both Commissioner j <
Watson and the officers of the vessel, j J
They are largely agricultural and j J
nany servants are among the nun- i <
>er, but there are also people of vari- J
)us vocations. A notable fact, how- <
iver, Col. Watson said, was in the <
setter condition of the people and ! <
ilso the fact that there was a larger j .
percentage of families among the im- j j
migrants. One of the immigrants, a ! (
?armer, is worth 60,900 marks, and he <
proposes to buy a farm and settle in J
this State. * <
Of the immigrants about 75 people <
will be sent to Columbia and the Pied- j
mont section and the rest will be dis- <
bributed in Charleston and through <
the lower section of the State. Com- j

Philadelphia, Feb. 8.?Lyndhurst,
the handsome country home of Formei
Postmaster General John Wanamaker,
at Chelten Hills, near Jenkintown,
was destroyed by fire tonight, entailing
a loss estimated at Si,500,000.
Mr. Wan a maker's home was considered
one of the most artistic and
valuable of Philadelphia suburban
properties. The estate consists of 30
acres of ground and the house, when
in the main was of English style of
architecture, stood on a hill about 3-50
yards back from the famous old York
road. The Wanamaker art gallery
contained some of ^the rarest prints
and most valuable paintings in existence.
Mr. Wanamaker and his family have
been at their winter home in this
city and the country place was in
charge of a caretaker."
