Dentil o?'Mr. Jumos George. ?t bocomos our painful duty to chronicle ibo sudden death of Mr. James Oeorgo, which occurred at his rosidonoo on Tuesday, tho 19th instant at 9 o'clock P. M. Mr. Oeorgo was ono of tho oldest and most .esteemed citizens of our town, hoing prized ?not for bis wealth, (for ho was not rich in this world's goods,) but for those sterling virtues of character which make np tho tried friend, tho upright gentlomau and thc godly Chris? tian. Tho deceased was a nativo of Anderson County, but removed to Piokcns District in thc spring of 1840, and soon after married nnd has resided in tho Coonee portion vt tho District over since. His property boforo tho war consisted almost entirely of slaves^ and after their liberation ho was loft with a largo family dependent on the individual exertions ol himself and his partner in life. .

There aro very fow misfortunes, which havo happened .to citixons ot tho county, but have found somo relief in contri butions hy our pooplo, when called on for aid. There have boen fow ch vi rob os built in tho county since tho wur, or improvements mado on thom, but tho citizens of "Walhalla havo contributed aid to thc work. Whilothts is truo, about ton thousand dollars havo been raised by subscription and applied to tho purobaso of the present college buildings and tho building of two f burchos and repairing others inside tho corporate limits. Very few communities havo shown greeter liberality in the promotion of whatevor concoma tho material and moral interests of tho pooplo; though' with nil this oxcollont record tho prospect for our future is hot over bright. The commencement exorclsos of Nowborry Coll ego noxt week doses forovor tho work of that institution in "Walhalla. . Located among us a few years it has gained strength sufficient to.try agajn ^tho placo,.pf its formor dofoat, and wo who have enjoyed the bcDOflts of a thorough education for, our children nt our doors, aro left without either a corego or high school. With-a school population such as Walhalla and Wost Union afford, a good school or a college is a matter -of vital im portance, if not of absolute necessity. With cheap board, healthy location lind church facilities, snob as' exist' horo, there is ho reason why 6, col lego should hot bb chartered and put into successful operation in Walhalla. Wo soo that a movement looking to this end is now,on foot, and nearly ton thousand dollars have booh already subscribed ns un endowment fund, hy mon whoso names are as good ns tho money. A bill has .boon introduced in ibo Legisla ture to charter the college, and, being con tinued over, will doubtless pass in tho carly days of tho regular session. ! The proposed plan, is briefly this: To raist by subscription ton thousand dollars, fut which tlie subscribers will give their individ ual bonds, paynblo in 1890, with' interest tc bo paid semi-annually, all porsons subscribing $500 to have free tuition fur his or bei children or for tho children of any family such subscriber muy designate. When tlx $10,000 is raised tho stockholders will londoi tho stock to tho Presbyterian Church of Soutl Carolina for tho establishment of a oollog under the supervision of the Presbyterial Church to bo located at Walhalla, tho churn' to raise an additional endowment of $10,00( If the Presbyterian Church accepts the pirapi sitien we can seo no reason why a colics oannot bo opened boro this fall. Tho Prosbj torin ns havo no male eollego in this Stat* while nearly all tho other Protestant denomi nations have one* This is n Ano opportunit for that church to build up an excellent inst tution of loaming in a section of the Stab tho futuro of which must bo bright, as pnpu I lation flows in and capital is created and in vested. Wo havo no #doubt of our poop raising the ton thousand dollars. On tl contrary, wo aro satisfied if tho Prosbytcrni Churoh will take hold of tho matter that ot County oan and will fonder a fund of ?15, 000 and wo boliovo of $20,000, if tho churc will cover it with as much moro. With a fun of $30,000, or as wo hopo of $ 10,000, wc invested, and with buildings which for number of yours might bo used for Ibo pm pose, a college oould bo put in operation ho this fall on a basis far moro solid than cv Newberry Cullogo had, and undor tho supo: vision of a denomination of Christians n^i for their love of intelligence, possessing gre numerical strength in the State, and general comprising a large'portion of ibo wealth every community, we might truly say the lo of Nowborry College had proved a blessing ourYown and county. Wo earnostly hopo t interest in this movement of so much impo tanoo to tho whole county will not bo pt mittcd to wano, but that a hoginning so pi pitious will stimulate every wo)l wisher education to pt|t his whole energies into t work of making tho proposed Walhalla C lege n success. This is a good timo to urge tho matt Wo now fcol a deep interest in having college boro, and if it oan bo put in oporuti this fall, we will, bo abb,' tp rotain a uumi of tho students of Nowborry College, vt will ontor tho Sophomore and Junior Chis ntonco.. A good Froshman Class could 1 organized and with good teach o rs from sovor i Ave to ono hundred pupils could bo ente in tho'proparatory and primary dopartmet This is no exaggeration as to tho immedi patronage of tho institution, while its fut patronage, under tho Hospices of tho Pros torians, would constantly Increase. Now, let us ask our people not to bogil oalo?lato who will receive tho most bor from such an institution, and thus ox potty local jealousies which will cripplo ontorprlso. Walkalla, has a very good Hu lng, it is tho County ?oat of tho Cou geographically it is nonrly contrai, i accessible by ra'.l, and roads from all part tho county converge to tho Court House, is it not for tlioso reasons tho most suit placo for a oollogo in tho county? Only town could havo it and wherever it bo loo it will bonedt all'parts of tho county mon socially, intellectually and pecuniarily, will onhanco tho valuo of proporty ntl - < the county, induce immigration, onooui other enterprises and tomi generally to material development of our native rosen through its many good influenc?s. Tho has long sinco passed when tho old Hoi iden, that there whs only so much wealth prosperity in tho world arlu?wh?f another or oountryfgainndtyaalost to Homo, has 1 exploded. So etforig. was this erron opinion fixed in tho mindy of that pooplo tho groatnoss and wealth' of Carthago a ? construit-troublo, and ont! bf tho" oon a* he was proceeding to 'hrs meals 'each had1 a herald to walk'before him ftnd proc in ibo oafs of the pooplo, "Carthago mu de\?trdycd;" Ther mo'dern and truo id* ?Ha*t' tho prosperity of 'each 'town, city community in ?v?ry oounlry nelda to liio gonornl prosperity of its neighbor* and of tho "world, nt largo. In fact, BO' sensitivo aro communities in this respect, that a drought or fumino or war or otho? soourgo affecting communities thousands of milos distant affect injuriously ovory section of tho world to which trado and oommer?c hare found a way. No ono eon doubt but u good and. prosperous institution of learning at Walhalla- will benefit erny town.In, tho county, and wo dc hope to soo our people unito in (his work and securo a collcgo in tho county, whore not only will they ?pond their money at homo in oduj ealing thoir. ohildron, but whore their chil dren will bo virtually under their own super' visory caro.

A very good and wise man, many ccnlu: ago, sold (hero waBatimo tOsing and a t! toelanco, a timo to mourn and a timo to rojo in a word, a timo for all things. It sot tho past few wooka hus boon a. timo fo nu m ber of our Domo?rntio Senators to and explain. Col. Crittenden, of Greonvi first oUerod his defence on tho $800 eomj miso through tho columns of tho. Charlo* Netos Und \Courier;- and now our Bonntor plains through ?ho County paper. Wo th (ho legislature did a good donl of work in way of reform, whion will be bonofioial to State, and which, ahovo all ciao, furr.ishe excuso for desiring to compromiso on $! instead of (aking (000. Whon a lawyer has gained a big caso benefited his client largely in a peenn point of view, ho thinks bo should be paid; and a physician who I es pm forme difficult operation successfully nm', saved patient's life is not vdry careful in mensa bis ohargo. Wily, then, should not legi tors, who havo laborod faithfully fat fol and accomplished much good, bo woll ro n?ratod? Th?y have squeezed out Cham! lain, Whittemoro, Carpenter ant^ Wright, bnvo given us Kershaw on tho Circuit Mcivor on tho Supremo Hench, which i little matter. They havo saved thousand tho Stato in- tho roduotion of tho pay Treasurers, Auditors, County Commission and otliot officers, and havo fixed thoir i pay in ?ho future at (Wo dollars,' per day reasonable 'compensation, ? Wo would 1 that tho good which has biton accomplis far oVof balancos ' tho orfoi'/ or indiWo which' tho' Sohrtto committed io insisting 8800 j& Witt*' pfitjf? Wo boli'ovo it' was prror'w?ndiscWiuti'andtnb'' only. d'eT?ne ..? explanation is on opon confession and the pleading of tho'good accomplished, .and tho foot that for tho futuro the pay has hoon fixed at a roasonablo compensation. We certainly fall to seo thc force of tho ex planation mado by our Sonntor. It is true, ns lie states, that under the law ns pn9sod by tho Ilopublioans, tho Legislature was entitled to $000 for tho regular session, and by reason of its short duration, they would have been entitled to aper diom of about $25 for the special session, but being a reform body ought they for this reason to claim that sum from au impoverished people, or any sum greater than a roasonablo compensation for their services? Tho tax payers will hardly think so. In fact, the slogan of tho campaign was reform and a largo reduc tion specially of tho legislativeespouses aud tho salaries of other officors. Tho next point mado by our Senator Is two fold, that tho Republicans had a majority in thc Henkle, and nil.propositions made by (ho Demo crat ic Senators lo re?oive a less sum (han $800, were rejec(od, &o. Wo do not know bow (ho Senate stood at the (late of tho secret session, but originally it stood 18 Radicals to 15 Demo crats, v/hon Walker,*of Chester, rctdgned n Democrat ? was elected (o (ill his place, giving tho Democrats 10 (0 17, and when the HI tie book was coaxed from tho possession of McKay Whit!omore took a trip to Massachusetts and lids never returned, giving (ho vote in (ho So nato 1(1 to 10. This is on (ho basis of Cochran noting with tho Radicals, which he seldom did, and shows (bat In tho worst viow of tho case tho Democrats controlled in tho Se?alo, thc President boing a Democrat, and being thc person who, in a case of n Ho, gave Ibo canting volo.' 1 Wo do Oot know tit what dalo tho Democrat from Chostcr took his scat, lint apart iron tho llndioals controlling tho Senate, look a thc vote on tho $800 pay question. It stooc i on tho question of rejecting Witherspoon*! amendment, proposing five hundred for bott sessions, ns follows: 17 to 10, flvo Democrat voting against tho amendment. Now, tnko ' from 17 nud wo hnvo 12, nnd .add these snm< 5 to 10 nnd wo liavo 15, a majority of 3, si that whatovor might be tho Radical majority in tho Sonnto, tho 5 Domooratic votes c*o"< hnvo carried tho five hundred dollar proposi lion. On tho ndoption of tho resolution ti tnko oight hundred dollars tho voto stood tin salmo and oould have been defeated by Demo oratio votes. As to tho vested rights of Sonntors in cigh hundred dollars, because they had certificate tor that amount, every poison knows thea certificates could never have been paid unios tho Legislature appropriated money to pa them. Besides, have not hundreds of pcopl similar voided rights in tho bonanza claims an iii many certificates dilly signod by tho Pree dont Of the Senate nnd Speaker of tho lions in former days which have not been and wi never bo paid? If 8 or even 15 Dcmoornti Sonntors had supported tho eight hundrc dollar pay it would nob mend tho matter, tl question then as now being, was it too niue or was it a fair compensation? It must stun or fall on its merits, for though compromis nnd vested rights ho pleaded, how is it tin finally six hundred dollars was ndoptcd ar tho Stato has not been swallowed by Radica with their vosted rights? There is n good deni of sophistry in tl next clnuso of tho Colonel's explanation wh( ho figures ont n saving to tho Statu by ndop ing the eight hundred dollar compromis instead of accepting tho House bill, wh'u limited tho pay to six hundred dollars f both sessions, hut did not specially exclu tho Mackey House. Tho Scnato could ha added to tho Houso bill (ho following won' ndoptcd it ns amended nnd adjourned ti weeks onrlior to (ho saving of thousands dollars lo the State: ''Provided further th no pny certificates shall bc issued to tho mc hors of tho illegal or Mackey House," Tl would have cured tho dofect nnd tho Hoi would hnvo assented promptly to tho amen ment, ns wo think, tho Houso tried to got t bill back to so amend it. Tho House novor tended (hat tho Mockoy Ilonso should i eee pay under thc bill. Instead of adopting t simple and economical, not to say just cour tho Senate was looking to No. I, nnd insis on bating oight hundred instead of hundred dollars. Tho error in tho Houso 1 ' should hnvo been amended in tho Senate r promptly adopted ns amended, nnd not tal i ndvnntngs of to increase tho pay of Sonnto nnd House both. Tho last clause of the Senator's card slr 'That the difference between tho Houso I - tho Senate was little moro than a fraci 1 over ono hundred dollars to each member, i would it not hate boen economy to hnvo gi ' this nnd brought tho session to n clo? Would it not havo been economy if Den eratic Senators had amended and ndoptcd House bill (iud brought tho session to n ch , for ultimately tho six hundred dollar pny 1 , ndoptcd and tho delny nnd prolonged disc sion are attributable to tho Senate mid , Sonnto only, I Worojoico at tho firmness displayed hy , House, which ultimately triumphed, for i pay of six hundred dollars is moro than , Republican Legislature over rcooived on a ? diem basis, though wo have no word to , against it. Wo bclievo our Sonntor wor , faithfully for roform and wo give him cfedi , it. Wo boliovo, too, thnt ho served hs hone , bly and honestly nnd propopo to do jnstici I him nnd nil our public officors. If ho ( committed one orror, that is nothing moro I human nnd nothing less than could bo oxpc I of any man.
