.-,'. ' power la l?vjr a local lax. for the suppdtt ?r public
schools was conferred on School Districts by
Statute (Gen. Stat.:, Chop. XXXIX, Sect 16,
V *' 4th.)
Surely our people have not forgotten the
abuses to which the local taxation power lc<l,?
the heavy burdens tghich in its exercise were
laid on tlie shoulders of our people.
Surely our representatives have not forgotton
that one of the fust things done by our legislature!
in the extra s!es?U?u..of 1S77 was to pass
"An Act to amend Section 16 of Chapter XXXIX
General Statutes, relating to the-power"tip
' " j..? School District A to levy and collect special taxes
' for
school purposes, ' by which Act the said
Section was "amended by striking out all of
subdivision I,"?in other words, that the power
to levy a local school lax was revoked.
And yet there is a Dill for second reading, reported
on favorably, which proposes to reinstate
in '79 what was repealed in '77. Do we live in
circumstnnccs so uiilcrcut and so improved as to
warrant this 7
TmS.- the oramulen of (his (till mav siiv that it
will uorteKtffctly fho tukneus the one repealed ;
tfirit wheread under the ol 1 law nil voters could
vote at a School District meeting, by the provi?ioiis
of this new Act none but propcrty-lydJors
will be empowered to vo'e. Saying
about the unjust and undeinocratie discrimination
against a certain class of voters which ibis
involves, we would beg our representatives to
consider wisely and well before they vote for the
resurrection of this old enemy with a new thee,
even if that face is white.
Is it the purpose of the Supporters of this
local tax Ilill to provide for the entire support
of public education by taxes? If so. let llicin
first count the cost. They do things cliea| er in
the North than we ever can in the South, and in
the economical Northern States the annual cost
to the taxpayers of each child at the public
schools is not less than In many places it
is S12, v>D">, $10, or even more.
Our present School Fund, made up of twomill
tax and poll-tax, contributes Sl.'-"? a year
for each school child. Do we propose to burden
cmsclvcs with additional taxation so as to raise
the other $7.do V Are we willing to submit to
a nine or ten mill levy ?

A LITTLE ADVICE TO OUB LEGISLATOBS.
It is a piece of presumption to suppose 1
that this aggregation of dignity and wisdom
and self-complacency needs a single
of advice ; and particularly from oue IWftn'j
in a dmJ^o^yfcof iboWsiSfllKt'v In the
first pTTec about two thirds of you, especially
those who are now serving their first
term, made largo promises of reform and
retrenchment when you stumped the county
last year. Many of the people expected
that the pay of.Judges would be ettt down
to about five d hilars u day, for something
of that sort was promised. Some of you
t>>hl the dear people that you would straighten
up the assessing and collecting of taxes;
others said tlmy would reform the public
schools, and so on. You recollect that
about seveuty five of you did some big talk
at home about what you would do, and .still
I see that assessors and collectors are going
mi 111 me c.uue uui ?> , i;i.\C3 iiri' uooui
the same, and the whole machinery ol State
runs along ab ul as you found if. Now,
the better iulb.'incil of your constituents,
from I lorry to Oconee, know that you cannot
work out these wild rcfoims you talked
so much about, and well for the State that
you cannot ; but then you, the aforesaid
seventy-five, nnM get your nauies before the
dear peo| le at home.
A motion to adjourn is always in order.
Try this pretty often and you will get your
name in t lie paper. A good brother of our
Association got up some little reputat i >n by
always offering a resolution of thanks for
the entertainment to man and beast. If a
distinguished Strang r visits the city hunt
hiin up and then select a very busy hour
and g'-t up and beg leave to interrupt the
proceedings a moment to offer a resolution
extendi ig the privileges of the floor to my
friend, the I Ion. So-aiul-So. That gets
your name in the paper. A good way to
g t around your pet .schemes of reform is to
oiler a res ilution setting forth the grievance
to be redressed, and have the whole matter
referred to the judiciary committee to re
port ny Mill or oinorwisc. *?01 tint resolii
ti in in t!u> papers, and carry it homo with
you, it will sound big when read in the
next campaign. In voting it is always safe
to vote i:i the negative if the .s and >.ors
are not called, for if the measure be a good
one, the people will be satidied and never
iu<lttiro as to how any one voted; if it be a
bad one, you see yuu make a ten strike.
In doubt I ul (|tiestiotis, that is, such ijujstions
as may aflcc' your votes in the next
; ( lection, you cannot he too careful. Po not
for a moment consider the merits of the
! question, but think how the majority at
, home will be pleased with the vote. Should
I any of your friends from home call on you
make a groat show of business. Make it
necary to attend a committee meeting of
i reat i i poi tance ; call on the (Jovcrnor on
sp.-ct 1 business for which he has sent for
, you ; consult various books in the State
Library, lie sure to let your friend from
the country know all this, and lie will tell
it when he gets homo. On very important
questions keep on both sides until you arc
j compelled to show up. Do not be too hasty
in forming opinions. These words of advice
come gratuitously from your I xci.t Pktek,
: in Car. Sjairtan.

A Pi:oiTr.\m.K Statu Inykstment.-The
debt, of Illinois has boon reduced to
?SOO,O()0, and will bo extinguished, it is
claimed, within a year by the payment to
the State of the dues of the Illinois (Vntarl
Railroad. This railroad has proved a perfect
bonanza to the S'utm? \\ lien the bill
for the creation of this road was before the
Illinois I. ijisl.iturc Senator i)oug!:is affixed
a provision by which instead of paying
taxes it should pay in lieu thereof seven
per cent, of" the gro: s receipts every year.
The sum received by the Stale from the
railroa 1 lias he n yearly increasing, and lias
gradually wip e! out the State debt. When
this is gone, as it will be in a year, it is
tb uglit that til* road will yield a sufficient
revenue to carry on the ordinary expenses
of the government, thus doing away with
the necessity for levying any State taxes.

that while local taxalionjsuits laige cities, where

utterly unadopted to an agricultural Mtate like
this. It suits Charleston very well ; it dies not

taxation is almost a paradox, but tacts show il
to be that w here the tax on the dollar is lightest

per child is highest, llosloti's local school tax
is only one mill on the dollar; this yields Sin a

sea island cotton.
It is liiii>Iie<l soft as the cotton from which it
; is inaile ; it lias no waxing or artificial finish to
i deceive the eyes ; it is the strongest, smoothest
j an 1 most elastic sewing thread in the market :
| for machine sewing it has no e<pml : it is wound
I on
W1IITK SPOOLS.
The IMack is the most perfect
JET BLACK
ever produced in spool cotton, being dyed by a
i system patented by ourselves. The colors are
| dyed l?y the
NEW AMI.INK PROCESS.
rendering them so perfect and brilliant that
j dressmakers everywhere use them instead of
l sewing silks.

1 at Paris, in 1S7S, for "great strength" ami "geni
oral excellence," being the highest award given
i for spool cotton.
