Tho Report of tho County Com
missioners'
Thia report has been published and has nc
doubt attracted the attention of our readers,
from the fact thal tho amount of money ex
pended during the last fisoal yenr is larger (han
ever before; and this, too, without nny special
circumstance (ogive thc expenditure importance.
Thero is no doubt of tho fact, liowovcr. ifrat thc
expenses of thc county, Stato and Genend Go
vernment aro increasing from year to yea?, and
it ls equally clear thal thero is no special reason
or excuse for theso lavish expenditures from
time to limo, both al homo and abroad.
Wo hayo examined this report with moro than
usual caro to seo whether or nol somo reduction
in theso heavy expenses may be mado in the
futuro. To enable us to make this investigation,
in which all tho citizens of tho county are
deeply interested, Mr. Veiner, tho Clerk of"*(ho
Board, has furnished us with a statement of tho
amounts expended and what for, as nearly as
possible, as follows:
Bridges . . $2,730 27
Poor 1101 iso . . 710 95
Sheriff, dieting prisoners, &o 1.2DG 17
Courl expenses . . 1,0-11 59
Trial Justices . . 3(58 79
Constables . . . 4-15 65
Lunatics . . . 518 50
Pay of Commissioners and Clerk 053 10
Miscellaneous expenses, includ
ing assessment of properly,
printing, ko. . 022 83
Croud total . $8,127 15
Thc Commissioners have thc following
amounts with which to pay these expenses, viz:
Bcccivcd from taxes . $5,401 00
Kcccived from fines, licences,
&c.1,901 17
Grand (olal . $7,302 17
Which shows a deficiency for the last fiscal
year of $1,001 08. This deficiency would have
beon much larger had it nol been for the unu
sually largo amount received for fines, &o.
These fines cannot reasonably bc expected to bc
so lurgo in thc future; hene?, if our expenses
continuo to- bo largo thu deficiency must1 bc
raised by taxation.
Wo propose to take Up for consideration thc
various iifcms of expenditure and will commence
Tilth Ihal of bridges. This amount, $2,730.27,
rs larger this year than usual. A larger num
ber of bridges have been rc built than ever be
fore in ono year, with the usual amounl of re
pairing. Was this large expenditure necessary?
Thc people of thc county know mid we leave il
for them to say. Wc havo no means of ascer
taining for ourselves. Thc only suggestion wc
have to make ls, thal when a bridge is ro built
il should be done in a permanent manner. This
will in thc course of time make our annual ex
penses less for Ibis item. Probably a number
of bridges over small streams might also be
dispensed with entirely.
Thocosbof the poor farm and paupers lins
been $719.95. Not a large sum certainly. For
these purposes tho co9l hus averaged yearly
about $1,000. Can they bc lessened? We
bolicvo that a larger and more valuable poor
farm could bc made almost stlf sustaining. If
?his could bc done il would bc economy to sell
the present form and buy a larger and belter
one. The payment ou( of $1,000 on an average
annually with interest would amount in ten
years lo $13,814. This amount with thal
wliioh (ho present farm would bring if sold
would buy a place which oould bc made self
sustaining at least.
Tho fees of thc Sherill* ore incidental and
accrue almost entirely from dieting prisoners in
jail. If we had no prisoners we should not bo
troubled with an item ns largo as (his. As
long as human nature remains ns il is wo know
of no remedy for this expenditure.
Court expenses arc like jail fees, incidental,
and are governed in amount by tho kind and
number of criminals to bc tried. Probably if
wo had only two terms of Ibo court a year this
amount might bc lessened. Thc maller is worth
investigation al least.
The cosls of Trial Justices and Constables
amount to $814.34. This amount is considera
ble, but wc cannot say it is loo largo for (he
services rendered. Wo prefer thc law as it
exists in Anderson (o ours. Tho Trial Justices
at the court house (hero receive $50 each in lieu
of all charges against thc county, with $25 to
ono Trial Juslico in each of thc other Townships.
This would make ourexpensos for Trial Justices
$275, a saving (his year of $93.79. In crimi
nal oases (ho jurisdiction of Trial Justices
should bo confined lo (heir Township. This
courso would enable each officer lo consider and
net on only such cases OS" ought lo bo tried.
Cases aro sometimes brought into court (Imf
ought not to bc considered al all. Where (he
oases oro carried from one Township to another
it largely increases Ibo costs of constables. Thc
people might petition tho Legislature at (his
session lo grant salaries lo Trial Justices
instead of paying them cosls. This courso, if
successful, would save tho county a few hun
dred dollars.
The cost of lunatics is $648.50. This is
largo, but may nol occur? again in a number of
years. Tho costs in these proceedings (pauper
lunaoy) ls loo largo.
Tho salaries of tho commissioners and
thoir ole-k is $053.10 and was itemized in
.he report. Tho sum of $0:22 83 is for miscel
laneous expenses and includes assessment of
of property, printing, stationery, &c.
Wo hnto thus colled attention in n hurried
wanner to the most prominent and largest
expenditures in Ibo report of (he County
Commissioners. Hegicts aro unavailing.
Theiyture alone baa a practical sido for us.
Qan tbeso largo annual county ciponses bo
on flailed and materially losscncd? This is
ihe praotical question.
A new Boord of County Commissioners aro
about to bo inducted into office. To thora
nod tho grand jury we paust look, for oots and
recommendations which., if porsovered in and'
wried out, will lighten tho burdons of (ho
tax-payer ?nd redound to ibo prospority of
tj,o people.
Stand to Your Colors.
Th? Exeoutivo Committee of tho Demooratlo
Party of 8oulh Carolina, at the cluse of the
campaign, addresses words of good cheer and
admonillob to the party throughout tho State.
I A great success ns usual has been gained. Tho
government of tho State is In Bato hands for
the next two years and all the Democratic can
didates for Congress hate been elected by band
e?me majorities. This lias not only been ac
complished, bul tho party is assured of success
for the future if Us members will stand to its
colors.
Tho conin.itleo very properly Insist Ihot Ibo
Democratic Clubs-tho rank and file of Ibo
party - shall not disband, but stand roady at the
call of duty for any emergency in the future.
Thc committee looks with apprehension to tho
npnthy apparent amongst tho white people.
Many did not register and many that did regis
ter did not volo. Duly requires all to oboy tho
law and it ought lo bo the pleasure of every ono
to assist in his huniblo way in the pro?
ser vat i on of good no ver nineo t "10 Slalo
and also in Hie country al large. Mistakes
aro mado in all parties. These mistakes
can and will bo corrected. Obviously,
however, it is best to weld tho peoplo to thc
D?mocratie party by efforts on ull occasions to
make wiso and just laws. Reduce tho (axes as
much as possible and distribute tho burdens of
the government amongst (ho many instead of
thc few. Tho laws should bc few and simple
and easily understood. Wo neither want nor
need much legislation. That peoplo aro best o IV
who aro governed least.
Thc committee well say (hat in view of (ho
contest for 1881 every Democrat should stand to
his arms and bc ready at the call of duty nml
honor lo carry his ling triumphantly into Ibo
capital of Ibo country and install a Democrat
for President, (he first since (ho election of .Mr.
Uuchanan in 1856.
Tho Netos and Courier slates (hot thc
number of voters in tho Stale, nccording to
the census nf 1880, was 205,789. In two
years there bas been a considerable addition
to this number. Ol (bis number only about
150,000 registered and less than 00,000 of
these ?oled,for StntQ officers: ur, if they did,
thc votos were cast in tho wrong box and n? t
counted. As wc bas raid elsewhere a much
larger number voted for Congress. This
disposition not to volo is an unfavorable
symptom of tho times.

Richland Looals.
RICHLAND, S. C., November 27, 1882.
Masons. EDITORS : Not seeing In your col
umns of late any locals from Richland, wo em
brace the present opportunity of noting a few
items of general Interest.
As tho foll Henson bas beeb remarkably
favorable, both tor harvesting and garnering
matured crops, and sowing spall gratos, the
farmers ore very wel| Hp with their wbrMl
ItioblanJ community has great ttaose IO rea
der thanksgiving and praise io Him who "causolli
tho sun to shine and (ho rain lo fall,*' for nia\
ing such bountiful returns to tho labors of its
husbandmen. Tho yield bath of oom and Cot
ton has been muoli above thc averago, notwith
standing tho severe galo which swept over tho
country in September.
Tho fanners of this section aro gradually
realizing tho necessity and economy of diversi
fied farming. This year supplies of various
kinds havo been raised in sufficient quantities to
feed both roan and boas1, so ihut next year vory
fow. if any, need have their eiibs or smoke
houses in tho West. With a few moro years
Uko tho present, with the total extinction of tho
all-cotton and no corn system of farming, and
willi honest Democratic rule, Richland neigh
borhood, Ocouco county, yea, thc wholo Stale,
will bo plodding lire road lo ils historic pros
perity and happiness.
Near Richland Depot ?3 localed a cotton gin
mid shingle factory, owned by Mr. J. ll. Rallon
ger, who Is doing ci lucrative business.
Wc understand a largo store house is soon to
bc built at Richland Station, on tho Air Litio
Railroad. Other buildings arc also to bo
erected.
A fine school was opened at Richland Pres
byterian church tho 1st instant, (aught by Mr.
Marshal 8, Stribling.
Tho vacancy in the Richland Presbyterian
church, occ i o ? il by I he i. in-" ol of ItcV. 3.
L. Morris, has not yet been supplied.
There will bc preaching at tho Hock Springs
Methodist church on thc first Sunday in Decem
ber by the regular pastor, which is his last ap
pointment for that church. J.
The Land Commission.
Tho annual statement of Col. R. M. Sims,
Secrotnry of Stnto, on account of (ho land
commission, furfeitcd land, vacant lands and
public property, with all of ?hieb bo bas
been entrusted, makes a u.o?t gratifying ex
hibit. The collections on account of thc
land commission during the fiscal year end
ing October 31, 1882, amounted to $21,857.
The current expenses of tho department
footed up $2,038. Puring thc yenr the
amount paid to tho CenVptroller General was
$23.388, and at thc closo of tho year there
was a cash balance on band and subject to
the order of tho Comptroller Gcnornl of
$3,083.
In tho department of forfeited lands the
collections from April, 1881, to tho close of
tho last fiscal year amounted tu $28.931, of
which amount $17,057 wast paid to tho
Comptroller General; $454 for printing for
feited land pamphlets, $75 lor cabinet for
filing away papers, $300 for attorney's fees,
$100 for advertising f< rfeitcd lund-, $1,018
for thc current expensen o? tho department,
leaving a cash balance on baud ut tho close
of tho year of $9,341.
The collections on vacant lands amounted
to $122 wbioh, together with a balance of
$124 at tho closo of tho lineal year ending
October 31, 1881, left ut thc closo of the last
fiscal year a hillanco of $217 in thc bands of
thc Secretary of Stale subject to thc order of
tho Comptroller General.
In thc department of public property there
was abalance of $2.603 on tho bands of the
Secretary of State ut the closo of tho fiscal
year in 1881. During tho lust fiscal year
tho Comptroller General was paid $985.
leaving a balance ol $1,018 in bund and sub
ject to bis order.
Thc total expense* of conducting these
four departments of tho land commission
business amounted during thc year to $1,489.
Thc amount* paid to thc Comptroller General
were $42 031.02 and thc balance on band
and subject to his order at ibo close of thc
year amounted to $14,291. To those who
may recall tho operations nf C. C. Leslie and
his associ?tes in the land commission swindle
the figures contained in Cul. Sims' state
ment will furnish nnothor convincing proof
of tho economy um] honesty of II Democratic
administration.
An Enormous Sun Spot.
Mr. Brasbear, writing to tho Pittsburg
Chronicle on Thursday lust, thus describes
thc great spot which has lately mad" tts r.p
pcarancc on the sun: "I bad noticed," bc
says, "thc st ot coming on thc nun's edgo on
Monday, lind concluded that it would attain
cnoiinous proportion*, In thc telescope it
was an object of singular beauty. Yestorday
morning I examined it closely and I think
in all my life I never caw mi many beautiful
feathery bridges and aims btrotuhingout
from tho penumbra! benders nf thc spot ncrons
and into tho great dark nuclei. J?vcry ono of
them was moro of less curved the samo way,
showing clearly thc direction of ibo cyclone
I storm. Tho penumbra was very much
broken up and tho many beautiful forms
taken by its extended arms and bridges make
up tine of the most interesting sun spots on
record. Its size is sVmply enormous. I pro
jected thc sun's image so ns to give a disc 55
millim?tres diurno tor, The spot then
measured four millimetres. This would givo
it nearly ono-sixteenlU of the sun's diameter
which wo will call 880,000 miles. Thon ono?
sixteenth of this would givo 55.000 milos as
thc diameter of thc spot'. As it was an ir
regular square, wo could safely ontimuto tho
spot to contain, I should say, 2.000,000
square miles. Tbero aro n number of

Harvard Collego and read law in the offioo
of Mr. Pettigru, of Charleston. Ho Was

which position ho continued with grout
acceptability until 1841, when ho retired
and engaged in planting in Rcaufort until
1800, when a vacancy iu tho United States
Senate having occurred by tho death of Mr.
Eltnoro, tho successor of Mr. John C. Cul

Durnwdll to QI I thc unexpired toro). lu
1860 ho was elected u delegate from St. IleL
ena to tho Secession Convention, and, al
though Up to that period his conserv?t Um of
character hod made him a warm advocuto of
co-opcratiou, ho yielded his opposition un
der thc pressure of tho demands of thc hour
and uuitcd heartily in tho measure of Reces

WASHINGTON, Novethber 24.-Until
v i t hi ti a few days Coi'iinUsic'ner Raum was
lisposed to make nb recommendation in his
orthcoming ntibttul report looking to n
eduction in internal revenue tuxes, lt is
lelieVed, however, that he has reconsidered
he limiter and will ad visa such u reduction
is will have un aggregate income of tho
3overnmcot fi om this source of 8100,000,
100 per annum. lt is known that thc
.'resident, while he is Grmly opposed to
my proposition looking to tho abolition ut
his time of tho entile internal revenue
ystem, believes thc time has come when
?bst,mi ia! relief can safely be accorded thc
uxpayera of thc country, and that a por '
ion of this relief should come in tho rc
tuition of internal revenue taxation. With
his view members of thc Cabinet aro in
mire accord, und thc President in his forth
aiming messages to Congress will r coo tn
nend Iho abolition of internal revenue
axes, except those on tobacco in its
Furious forms, and upou distilled spirits ! i
md fermented liquors, exoept also tho i
pecial tax upou manufacturers of and , '
Ictlcrs in such r.rticlos, with a reduction in I I
ho tux upon whiskey and tobacco upon
he basis of tho bill which passed thc House i
if Representatives at tho last session of
Congress. The rctontation of tho special
axes is deemed essential to tilford thu
iffiocrs of the Government proper supcrvis (
ons of these articles for tho prevention of 1
raud. If this recommendation bo adopted 1
he rcmninihg sources of internal revenue
?ill yield, according to tho estimates of tho !
lommissioner of internal revenue, about
>100.000,000 per annum. Any further 1
eduction of internal revenue than that . J
imposed would compel thc government lo
cly almost entirely oti import duiies for
ts necessary income and would render any
cvision or reduction of tariff duties danger
ms, if not impossible Tho President is
irmly opposed to tho adoption nf any policy
hat would create such a contingency and
viii in his forthcoming message urge upon
Congress tho importance of un imm?diate
cvision of tho tariff, with the view of
educing the aggregate income of thc Gov
ernment lo such un amount as is absolutely
equired to meet thc interest on tho public
lebt and the current and ordinary expon
ics of the Governtncot.

discontinued with pcrfeot sufety and with
out discomfort by gradually reducing the

between Hie two drugi, and hence thc
necessity of medical supervision, lt has
been said that suoh modes of euro simply
substituto one bad habit for another; but
it should ho borne in mind that a bromide
Imbil is cusily cured, while tho opium
habit sticks considerably closet* than n
