Gukenville Nuw.s - We are <;lad to welcome tho Greenville Daily "News in an enlarged and improved form. Thin Journal has already done yeoman service in the cause ?f honesty and good government, and i., i hwo uuuuuiu u necessity to, as well us I the favorite, of the up-country. We trust it may bo liberally supported by the good citizens of I'ickcns county * Democratic Victohikh.?Tho Democrats liavo ma do a clcati sweep of Wyoming Territory, electing eleven of thirteen members of the council and eigl itcen of the twentvsovfin in/irnhniv ! * 'w>"" I o( the house. The tidal wave still rolls on. The returns from New Mexico, which are now neaily complete, ins dicato the election ol' Mr. Hiking, Democrat, by abjut 1,500 majority. Tho propriety of organizing the Democratic party in this State is being pretty thoroughly discussed by most of the Democratic journals in | the State. Romn n< ? >< ' "whether or not t!io people of Pickens nro desirous of having a term of court held at tlio next term." Wo uiswer, they do not! For the iiimo reasons that induced tho tax-payers to ask Judge Cooke not to hold court last July, A linf /. .1 ?? ? iivjj uuv v n i v> i.avu l\ term in November. It would bo a very economical court that could bo iiold in this county f*>r eoven hundred doll ai 8. Tho wbolo amount of the tlireo mills' tax, tines and licenses, is only $1,440.15. Tlnco courts, under no circumstances, would cost less than twonty-ono hundred dollars ; i a' l *: 4 i . i UUblOl UftUllMg })r IBUIIUrb IIUI* JUbB Iliilll $300; paupers, $750 ; salary of county commissioners and clerk ol board $550. These three items alone, taking the lowest possible estimate, amount to ?o,700, leaving a balance of only $7-10 lor the purpose of repairing and building bridges, public buildings, etc. 1 lie estimated cost of three courts is based upon the expense of tho last March term, and we think it very reasonable to presume that some ol the terms during the yiar would st a much greater sum, and wo might very safely say that tho tour items above mentioned, would consutno the entire amount ol the county's revenue, leaving it without a cent to apply to bridircJ, public buildings, and other incidental expenses. Our pooplo are poaccable, quiet and law abiding, and there are seldom a: y criminal cases before the courts. One term ot court a year is sufficient to dispose of all the business that would come before it, and we trust that in the future there will bo only one court held during the year fur this county, unless circumstances should make ii ncco?sary to have a called term. This c ursc. we feel confident would meet the hearty ppprobation of a largo majority of the tax-payer.) of this county. I'At;ri?i<8.?From the ''Poor returns for l he year ending Sept. 30th, 1875." We extract the following itnmc * fPl>o nnnilwu' nunnoi'a unit purled in Poor House during the whole or any part of .the year, ie 1G ; average number, 11; supported out of L'oor llouso, 1 ; average weekly cost ol supporting each pauper in l'oor llouse, $1.00; out of l'uor House, Sl.15; number ol white pan; era, ;1 : number of colored, 5; number of insane supported in Asylum, ii ; cust of supporting paupers during the year, ?750; number ol acres ot land attached to l'oor House, 150; value, $2,000 ; personal property, $400; total, $2 400 ; estimated value of crop3 retained for use on tlie L'oor House farm, $200 ; estimated value of all labor per-* formed by the poor in Poor House, $25 ; number supported in Poor llousc at present time, 13; out ot Poor House, 1 ; assisted out ol Poor Home, 1 ; children under I t years of atje supported at public charge, rj ; whites, 2 ; eolored, 1. The present crop on the Poor House farm, we are informal, is ? 1 very line, and the Poor House will bo next year, nearly, or quite sell" sustaining. J/ist year the crop was not good, besides two b.dc3 of cotton raised on the farm wee destroyed by an accidental lire. The Poor House lai ni, according to size, is one ul the bust in the county, and can, we think, with proper management, lie made self-supporting. Greenville, b. (J., Sept. '28, lS7o. IIuii. I). I"'.
