Tho Stato University.
It is a significant fact and one well
worthy of the attention of tho people that
just now on the eve of thc Legislature
sonic of tho newspapers of tho State arc
urging the necessity of providing liberally
fur tho University and thereby placing
thc StatO, as they say, in the lino witli our
sister States. Tho ?Vetos and Courier tulls
us in a Into issue:
"We are assured, on offieiul information,
that it is tho purposo, ns it will bc tho duty
of the ont lloridos of thc University, to
move it forward as rapidly ns possiblo to
dial higher work which belongs to it,
and to it alono."
Ju oilier words, as we understand it,
"the authorities of thc University" will
call on thc Legislature to bleed thc people,
whether they will or no, with n heavy
appropriation for its support, claiming, of
course, that thc agricultural pcrip fund mid
$12,600 oro not enough to make the college
cllicicnt and put tho Stato on a footing
with Virginia und other States.
Wo have always talked plainly about
this matter, because wo believe it to bc thu
duty of a journalist to do so. Wo were
opposed to opening die Agricultural College
because WO believed il. to bc what it lias
proven to be, a delusion and a snare to
ontrap thc unwary. Tho appropriation of
?10,000 additional lust year wo predicted
would be but the entering wedge for still
larger demands.
Wo have been opposed to thc reopening
of thc University at tho expense of the
tax payer, because wc knew it could uot be
supported on a direct appropriation of &10,
OUI) a year, and because wc do not think
tho Stato is able at this timo to spend
large sums of money for luxuries, when our
people tire already heavily burdened with
taxes and have but scanty means to pay
diem with. We ure opposed toit, because
it is undemocratic to levy taxes for any?
thing but thc protection of thc people in
their rights of life, liberty and property
and because it is unjust to lay tribute on
the many for tho benefit of die few. Thc
Bovised Statutes, page 811, Section 10-10,
provide:
"There shall bc admitted into each Col
lege of the University" (that |a, tho South
Carolina College, ut Columbia, and Clailin
College, nt Orungcburg) "one student from
eneh county of thc rttate, who shall bc eu
titled to tuitiun free of charge* such stu
dent shall bo appointed ty tho Governor,
upon thc recommendation of thc delegation
in tlic (jeuer.il Assembly in which thc ap
plicant resides, and after a competitivo ex?
umination."
The Section further provides that any
va con ny made by grnduotion, death, expul
sion, or other cause, shall bo lilied in thc
same manner. In other words, Abbeville
county, even with the present small direct
appropriation of 810,000, must bc taxed
about four hundred dollors a year to pay the
tuition of ono boy fixed by t li o Statuta ot
lotty dollars n year. Cur readers will
notice that no consideration is
shown for thc "poor boy." Under thc
terms of the. law die whole matter is left to
the delegation and if tho eon ot the richest
man in Abbeville county is successful in the
competitive examination he may go to Co
lumbia willi free tuition, while children in
tlie county aro starving on tho crumbs of
education furnished by a common Behool
taught 1er four or live mouths in the year
by a poor teacher, poorly promised and still
moro poorly paid. Four hundred dollars a
year for the rich man's son who is able to
go to Columbia and ?2.G5 for thc "poor
boy" who lias to stay nt home I lt ii? par
ticularly unjust to compel tho Presbytciians,
Methodists and other denominations, who
give large sums of money cviry year to
their own colleges for "oonscienco sukc," to
pay inxcn for thc support of un institution
Which they do not want, which mny di
vorce education and religion anti which
lias a direct (ondsnoy to injure their col
leges.
Wo nro opposed to it, moreover, becnurc
it will tend, ns we believe, to rest oro ibo
state of 0(Tairs existing before tho war. It
will build up a few families at thc expense
of tho masses of tho people. They will
claim thc right, as they did then, to supply
our Bench willi Judges und nil other oilices
with incumbents, no matter who elso might
apply, lt will Orente class distinctions and
build up a merciless aristocracy.
Wo arc opposed to it because n boy oin
go to colleges now in the Stile, pay luition
ned get through on loss money tl.un ho eau
thcro with free tuition, os tho catalogues
will show. It is true tho fuculty advertise
thot tuition is free, but we eau seo no war?
rant in tho law for it.
These are a few of tho many potent
reasons for our opposition to tho soheino,
and for continuing to opposo it with tho
lights now beforo us.-Abbeville .Medium.

SPEECH CF cor.. W. li. WILSON, OP YOUIC
COUNTY, IN THU PRIMAHY CANVASS.
[Yorkville Enquirer ]
I um boro us a candidate, somewhat un
expectedly. Only thc Hay before yesterday
I received a public call from my fellow
citizens to become u eandiduto for tho
House of Representatives, which cull I
did not feel at libel ty to decline, and if I
should bc honored with on election, I can
only say that 1 will discharge my duties as
ono of your representatives to the best of
my ability in all measures that may come
before tho General Assembly, lt has been
a long time si II CO 1 huvo been tu public lifo,
but 1 have some ideas of thc duties of a
legislator. In thc discharge of these duties
all personal considerations should give way
to only what would bo for thc welfare of
thc entire puop'o.
On all questions beforo tho people, you
hove a right to a frank answer from those
seeking your suffrages, and as . candidates
huve beeu called upon to express their views
upon tho proposed constitutional amend
meut reducing thc uren of counties, 1 will
frankly givo my views on this question.
You aro lo voto on this proposition-for
thc adoption of thc aiiicndmeut, or for its
rejection. Yrou havo thc ripjit to vote
cither for or oguinst it. Hut in my judg
ment it would bc unwise to vote for its
adoption, for several reasons. Apart from
thc expense that would bo entailed upon
all thc people by thu TOT million of new
counties, there oro several other considera?
lions entering into thu question. It ii
claimed for tile measure that it is designed
to strengthen thu Democratic party in thc
Slate. With what confidence eau wc loos
for that result with thc overwhelming
negro majorities in many of thc lowet
counties - Orangeburg, (Jolleton, Kershaw
and others? Tho statistics show a vusi
difference in thc area and population of tin
lower counties as compared with thc
upper counties of tho Stato. Thc lowei
counties have a much larger nrea of ter
tory, and their colored population vustlj
munumi eis ours. (Jollcton, which is 4f
miles from ono limit to tho other, and 81
milos wide, hus a white population of 12,18
and a colored population of 2-1.202-it
round numbors a colored population doubb
that of thc wdiite. Orangeburg is 70 mile
from one limit to thc other and in sonv
place ?10 miles wide. It has a whito pop
ulation of 12,042 and a colored populatiot
of 28,458 - more than double that of tin
white. Georgetown hus u white populatioi
of 8,460 and a colored population o
10,140. Kershaw numbers 7,802 white
and 18,0-10 colored. And so on wit)
other counties. Suppos? thc counties wer
cut up and divided-thoso enumerate!
thrown into twenty new counties, it wouh
have no other effect than to in?reos
tho Republican strength ill thc ?Senate
while thc upper counties, on accout of loci
of territory und population, would notudini
of being cut up. It is a dnncorous ex.
p?riment; and with thc United State
Government unter thc control of Stalwor
Republicans who menace our Stato oi
every h.iud, is this tho time to think 0
odopling snell au amendment lo our Stat
constitution, thereby increasing their ad
vantage over us and aiding them in thci
means of oppression? 1 do not dout
that the proposition was submitted undo
patriotic motives. It could puss throng
thc Legislature only by Democratic volet
but should tho Democrnts incorporate it i
tho constitution it will stand there, on
should tho Republican party ever conic i
power they could so usc it us to perpetual
negro dominion and Radical inisiulo ovc
tho State. It will bo for tho people t
South Carolina to say whether or not the
want it, but my judgment is that th
adoption of thc amendment would bc un
fortunato for tho best interests of ou
people.

COMJ.MIIIA, September 28.
News has reached hero of a terrib'e gpo
liticul riot at Lancaster, yesterday (Wedna
day) afternoon. It seems that Col. K. li. (.

hold a meeting and addressed a crowd com

?lylo. After tho speaking was over
difficulty occurred between one of the whit
men present and a negro and tho hiller wt
shot. Much excitement ensued, hut quit
was restored for a timo. Soon afterwards
crowd ol negroes marched up nnd one i
thom selected and pointed out a whito mai
saying: "There's thc d-d scoundrel wi
ilk! tho shooting." Tho white man eui
ncstly protested his innocence, but tho nc
a?rocs refused to listen, and began an attae
upon bim. Pistols were immediate!
Jrnwn and a regular pitched baltlo too
?luce, lasting a few moments, during whic
nany men wor; knocked over on bot

[From tho Abbcvillo Prosa and Bonnor. J j
Io order that our people may begin to '
think about their ability to meet tho in
creased expense that would bc incurred by
tho adoption of the proposed constitutional
amendment, reducing tho area of thc
counties, wo offer some Ggurcs below. Tho
estimate below is for tho fecB and salaries
of tito oQiocrs of Abbcvillo county. Of
oourso where tho fees oro paid out ot tho
treasury, but where thc fees uro contingent
on tho sorviocs rendered in euolt ofliocs as |
thc Probato Judgo, tito Master in Equity, i
tho Sheriff and the Clerk, in order to moko
tho sidney sufficient in (lie smaller, counties
thc fees will have to be raised, so that a
eitizon having business in ono of theso
offices must pay higher than ho would hovo
done if tito county is not divided. Tho
law, wo believe, requires some of those
officers to keep their offices open every day.
In Abbeville county tho sa'urics nnd fcoa
in Abbcvillo county uro estimated as fol
lows:
Sheriff and Deputy . . $1.000
Clerk .... 1,000

under tho proposed arrangement, no moro

These figures aro about as low us compe
tent men can bu found to do the work. In
tho State offices thc inoreuscd expenso will
bo something. About ton ucw Judges and
us many additional Solicitors will bo rc?
quired. Thc Judges uow rcccivo a Balary
nf 53,500 annually, und tho Solicitor
81,500. 'Tho increased annual esponso
for clerical force or now officers in Columbia
could not bc less than ? 10,000. Thc pro?
posed constitutional amendment would add
fifty new counties in this State. This
would add the names of fifty new Senators
to thc pay roll, (8250 to each). Tho oot
of drawing a jury costa ?23. In each county
thcro aro onuuully three petit juries and
ono grand jury-four in all, at a cost of
802. Annual expenso alone for drawing
juries for fifty new counties would be $4,600.
Tho Jury Commissioner is required to ot
tend court nt u cost of 82 a day-on an
average of four days at codi court-S'21 a
year. For fifty counties SI.200. At each
court there are usually about hulf a dozen

Criminal Court, say six days days at 80 u

again who would require thc bonded officers
to keep their moneys mid papers in their
pockets, or in a borrowed safe and it is also
certain that there are still n largo class who
would ho willing to cut down tiio fees of
tho Judges and thc Solioitors to half tho
present pay. There nro also many men
who think tho present poy of tho old
county officers would bo reduced sufficiently
to pay tho new officers. There oro yet
another class of men who think thc officers
who would uccept one-third of their present
pay in Abbcvillo county, arc hard to find.
There arc others again who think tho above
figures oro all wrong. Dut it should not bo
forgotten that thc Supervisors of Registra
tion, tho Auditors nnd tho Treasurers in no
county receive less than 8500.
Tho Mummy of Jacob*
Tho mosque ot Hebron, port of which
waa formerly n Jewish synagogue, ia built
over tho ouvo of Mtiobpclah, where. Abra
ham, Isaao and Jacob uro buried, oud is ono
of thc most jealously guarded of Moslem
shrines. Up to tho time it was visited by
tho Prince of Wales and his 6uito, iuolud
ing Dean ?Stanley, no Europeans, save tlioso
passing for Mohammedans, had been ad
mitted. So great was tho excitement over
granting ibo privilege to tho Prince and his
party that tho streets had to bo lined with
soldiers. Tho visitors did not go into thc
ouvo, but only into tho mosque above, whore
oro tho so called tombs of tho patriarchs,
sumptuous structures, but tho reul graves
oro in tho cave beneuth. Tho other day
tho two sons of thc Prinoo of Wales wero
permitted to enter the mosque, and to look
through au opening in thc floor into tho
cave A Icttet by one of tho party nays:
"Wo observed n small opening in thc floor,
which is covered with a pieco of silver.
Wo removed tho cover and let iu lanterns
to discover thc appearance of tho vault bo
neath. Wo could by this (clearly seo tho
pavement in tho cave, whioh is polished
stones, of six or seven 5tirds, each stono in
quadrangle. Wc evidently saw hero thc
aroh of stones prepared for a passage to go
down to tho envo; but this artificial de
scending guto is inclosed or blocked up 60
that tho whole struoturo must bc removed
ero tho entrance can bo reopened. From
this great chamber wc went to Juoob's and
Ijcah'a tombs, tho buildings upon whioh
aro also made in tho samo manner as thc
other patriarchs. It is impossible to rc?
sist tho conviction that the masonry, gi
guutio ns thc blocks of stono and pillars
arc, must bo at least very ancient, perhaps
oven of Jewish construction.
Mnchpclah mcanes "double," and about
twenty years ugo an Italian renegade,
employed about tho mosque, followed a
high official down thc stairs into (lie
cave. Ile was soon discovered and driven
buck, but not until ho had seen tl:at its
natue is appropriate, for it consists of two
parts. Ii it is ever explored no doubt
thc mummy of Jacob ot least, would bo
found, for he was embalmed in ncccrdanoo
with tho most elaborate art of tho Egyp
tians.
Mackey Wins at Summerville.
[Special Dispatch to Tho Columbia Regis

SUMMKUVII.LK, S. C., September 27 -
On tho two hundred mid fifty* first ballot,
E.W. M. Mackey, tliejfraudulent Congress
mun, was nominated as thc Republican can
didate io tho Seventh or lilaok Dintrict.
Thc vote stood: Mackey 21, Lee 15, Smalls
8. Maokcy'a pecuniary influence has dono
wonders. Many of his dusky adherents
consider him good enough negro for them.
His reinforcements came from Beaufort
and Colleton, tho former furnishing three
and tho latter two. Loo also received a
now vote from Colleton. It is only u ques
tion of limo as to tho bolting of Leo and
Smalls, who oro bitterly opposed to Mackey.
W. L. W.
Lou (iiiffin, a mulatto woman, and her
child four months old, were brutally mur
dered in Austin Township, Crecnvillo
county, on Tuesday of last week. She hod
her husband lived on thc farm of Dr.
Crojton, though they had been separated
for some timo on account of on alleged too
o'oso intimacy between lier and Riley An
derson, another colored mau. On tho 2Gth
ultimo slio had started to n place about
eight miles distant, leaving about 8 o'clook.
She was not again seen alive, but was
found dead with her infant beside her on
Wednesday obout *I2 o'clock by nome
white children. Her body was not above
one milo from Dr. Crayton's farm and when
found was "lying on ber back with her
head inclined to one sido, with her arms
extended nnd besmeared with blood, ono
bloody hand still clutching lier apron."
Severe wounds, thc effects of heavy blows,
wcto visible upon her forehead. Thc body
of the child was on tho right of thc m otb ci
and its skull was terribly crushed. At thc
inquest thc husband clearly proved nu alibi
and suspicion attached to Riley Anderson,
tho cvidenco being such as to warrant the
jury in finding a verdict that Lou Grillt il and
her child "oimo to their death by stroke?
with n stick in tho hands of Riley Anderson
on thc 26th of September, ?882." Sherifl
Qilronth arrested Anderson and ho was bulg
ed in jail at Crecnvillo. Anderson ia a shorl
heavy built man and lins always boroo ar
excellent oharootcr, being au industrious
f inner. Ho lins considerable property. Ho
denies any knowledge of tho murder nnc
by reason of his past character many doubl
his guilt.
According to Congressman William D
Kelley, who has just returned from a trij
to Colorado and Nevada, farming in thosi
States present thc bigest attraction. Bj
invitation ho went to tim ranch or farm
of 13. ll. Eu ton, in Wold County, whiol
ho bogati breaking last year under a now
and elevated ditch. In tho spring of 1881
his 0,000 acres boro nothing but gramma
grass and cactus. This year 3,000 of thost
