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. .
Ho was a tailor by trade and with his needle
nnd measuring lino he was enabled to support
hi? family comfortably und givo thom a fuW
English education,
Tho deceased was in tho seventieth year ol
his ago, but up to ton days ago, whon. ho wat
first attacked, he was halo nod bid fair "t(
pass his (uni score y curs. On the, evening ol
his death ho bad been in his shop and hat
hoon doing some wbrk, but complained o
weakness. Aftor retiring at night and whili
setting up in bod, in apparently improving
health, ho sudienly grow pale and closing hil
cyos laid down upon tho bcd and died withou
ti struggle I
Tho deceased bad boon a don'sist'ont mombo
of tho Presbyterian Chiiroh for'upwards o
thirty years, during which porlod ho oftoi
lilied tho position of Ehlor.
Wo hnvo known'him intimately. from ou
childhood, and WO can say that few men dis
playod in lifo moro ennobling traits of charno
tor, whether as a IY? o nd, a cit i /.on or a Christian
Ho was Holier, honest, industrious, pious, n.n<
in his Christian walk and conversation thon
stood out an exam plo worthy of imitation.
Ho loaves a widow and (Ivo children whe

Death la terrible at all Times, but whon i

I fyiej peoblo. ot Wallalla doscrvo bottor
succors thny thejphjlvo usually n?hioved ia*
their efforts to build' up tho towy (ind dovolop
the material and moral interests of tho on tire
county. 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

or oountryfgainndtyaalost to Homo, has 1
exploded. So etforig. was this erron

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

to bo reooived, but lot us say and feel all will

deserves tho patronogo of all good oilizent
and that without reforonco to ndvantngos or

for tho causo of education with all its ounot

Tho following is tho plan on which it is

JLegiMlfttlve t*ay.
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

I him nnd nil our public officors. If ho
( committed one orror, that is nothing moro I
