Astheie Appears to be some doubt in the minds of many tlint any law exists demanding the publication of the annual reports of the 0 County Commissioners, School Commissioners * and Treasurers, wo have thought it necessary c to remove that doubt by publishing a synopsis 8 and tome sections of the law passed by the ' Legislature at the session of 1881-'82, making it mandatory upon those officers to publish ' thair reports "in some newspaper published in 1 said county." 1 The intention of the law was to impart infor- ' mation to the tax payers, that they may know { how their inonej was spent, who received it, ' what for. aud to show to tho public, annually, 1 whether there arc any discrcpencics or irregu- 1 larities botwecn 'he reports of those officers, or ' any "embezzlements or extravagances in the expenditures of public funds." Sec. 1. Requires a "File Book" to bo keptby tho couuty Commissioners, In which all 1 claims preseuted shall be filed by their clerk, with date, by whom presented, character and 1 the amount of claim, &c. Sec. 2. Defines how the Commissioners shall 1 draw checks upon the Treasurer. Sec. 3, Provides that tho county commis- ' sioners, School commissioner and Treasurer shall make annual repotts to the Presiding Judge at the first term of Court nfter the first day of January in cacli year, which reports are to be submitted to the Grand Jury for examination. Sec. 4. Requires that the report of the Treasurer shall state the number, character find nmount of claims paid by turn on orders of county nnd School Commissioners, find to whom paid. Sec. 5. Provides thai if nny discrepcncies between the reports, irregularities, erabezzlementsor extravagances ate discoverel liy the 1 Oran<l Jury, they shall present the same to . the Court. Sec. 0. That said reports of County Commis| sioners, County School Commissioners, and Taeosurers, shall be published nl least two weeks before the sitting of said Court by said officers or their several clerks in some newspaper published iD said County. Sec. 7. Explains how the Commissioners shall make their report to the Comptroller General, to bo sub-xi itted to the General Assembly, with an estimate of the tax necessary for County purposes the following year. Sec. 8. That any violations of the foregoing Sgstions by the County Commissioners, County School Commissioners, and County Treasures, shall be deemed a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof in the Court of General Sessions, i the parly so offending shall be sentenced, by i the Presiding Judge before whom convicted, to ?' pay a tine of not less than oue liundr d dollars, t or be imprisoned in the County jail not less I than one month. It shall also ho the duty of I the several Circuit Solicitors to prosecute auy f violations of this Act. I It will be seen that the law is plain nnd emphatic in the matter of publishing the reports i of the County Commissioners, School Commis- I sioner and Treasurer. Those oflicers have no choice iu the matter, if they obey the law ; aud ( if lliey violate any of its provisions, it is equally emphatic in imposing a fine aud making it the imperative duty of tiic Solicitor to pros ecute for such violation.

U. McPherson's book and stationery store, Cleveland block, Main street between Mcliee avenue and Court street. The nb.rm was promptly given and the fire department turned out quickly. On account of the intense cold, however, the Lee steam engine and the Palmetto hand engine refused to work and the fire had gained great headway before any water was thrown, the Neptune company coming to the rescue. , The firemen worked under disadvantages of every kind, water freezing as fast as it touched, coating ladders and hanging in icicles from the engines. < The entire block was burned from J. C. C. Turner s warehouse to the building at tho corner of McBec avenue and Main street, occupied by J. L. lleaves and the store of the late T. D. 1 Ferguson. *" j The block included four stores?L. Rothschild. clothing, Mullane & Co., dry goods, R. ri -- J - v.. n>?> ivtsuu, uuuK.ii nnu stationery, and A. Rosenthal clothing. Resides these, Dr. .1. W. 1 Norwood's elaborately equipped dentist's office, A. C. W el born' 8 law office and other offices and many private rooms were in the second story. As well as can be estimated roughly, the total loss is between $>0,000 and ?00.000; insurance about $43,000. All the partus damaged have some insurance. The fire nt one time threatened the block in which F. 1". Mimnuugh, .1. C ('. Turner, Henry Knebel, Julius Smith and the Xficn office are located, but a strong and high parapet aud fire wall saved them. The fire was not subdued until after daylight, clinging stubbornly to the roof and eaves and requiring steady fighting by the Palmetto engine company from a cistern kept filled by the steamer. The fire is one of the most exteftsive the city has ever known. It is likely arrangements will be made to rebuild the block immediately. Main street looks desolate aud forlorn with a smoking pit full of bricks, charred timbers and twisted iron where there was a row of imposing and fully stocked business houses yesterday.

Editor Union Timks.?There are a few words ipproprimte to be said in referruce to your cor. espondent "M's" production. What shall we tall It ? One of the sweet songs from nature's lircn, perched atnid the forest trees, to calm he discordant notes from tho screaming," yelling," "howling" bean that clambers unong the hills and under tho chambers of lalure's dense resort. Melod|ous and enchanting? Why is it that all those who are not in :onsonnnce with his sacred views about the census are but the iucarnatiou of all that makes Ihe elements hideous by their hotel*, while ha and all for whom he speaks are the augels singing songs of gladness to delight the Shepherds that watch their flocks at night. Hut we will turn to tho notes of this lyric songster, and what there is in the words of his produo ion to tucrit applause or easing the troubled heart, llis music tony be very good, but where are causes to produce emotion, or facts to soothe the mind ? llis song is truly that of the mockingbird, iu that it is destitute of thoughts conceived or propositions expressed while it differs from that of the forest charmer, iu thai in has uo harmony. He says the Legislators should not be condemned for enactment or nou-enactments. Who has coudcmned anybody ? There is such thiug as criticism without condemnation. Does he claim that the people have no right to place adverse criticism upon the nets of their servants until they are convinced of tho justuess of their cause ? If so, in I his he is right; but is it not proof that they are convinced that their cause is just when they become so wrought upon by the thoughts of it, that they stream and yell and hotel about it, as he says they have been doing? O, yes; this siren is very wiso and knows whose cause is just, and gives us sweet melody to quiet the benighted and mistaken rovers of the forest hills, as he conceives of them ! Hut where are bis facts.? If there are any in his communication to be found, here is one of them?at least a statement: '1st, (hat the census should be taken at the least expeuso, and 2d, that it should be taken correctly.' Docs be mean that the first tbiug to be done in point of importance, is to take the census as cheaply as possible, and that to havo them taken correctly is the second consideration ? This is just what his parly fears?that the ceusiis would bo takeu correctly, and that Charleston and the low-country would lose part of its representatives. Then we do not wonder that M." places the correct taking as a scoondary consideration, for he is evidently down with tho lowcountry fever; nud did lie catch it by association with Charleston representatives ? It is strange that'M.' and these with liirn who opposed taking the census should me ntion fcoiiomy in connection with their acts, for are they not the veriest spendthrifts of the people's money ? Were they not in the lead when the South Carolina College was thrown back as an incubus on the people s shoulders, and did they not establish two additional professorships?ayricultural proftesorships ?at taffy, to quiet what they teemed to reyard the baby ayriculturisl of the State?there to preside over TititKK agricultural students of the college? But they must be excused, and not condemned nor criticised, for they aro honorab e meu, and those who attempt to do so are 'Screamers,' and 'Howlers' and 'Vellers'?s* saye 'M.' Well, they have the consolation to believo that there is logic in their howling, and they are not the sort to be rocked to sleep by his d isoordant lullabies. We com c, now, to the constitutional position Vf uut oww ouitgitur s argument.*" 110 8fijw the constitution is definite as to the time of takiug the census, hut silent as to the manner. Well, does not the constitution require the oeubus to be taken every ten years, and was it not the busiuess of our last Legislators to make provision for it? The time had certainly arrived. Why, then, did not our friend M. and his friends make the requisite provision, if he wauted the Constitution to prevail. It was because he and others under low-country influence did not wish that section to lose the present disproportionately large representation that it now enjoya. This must be tho reason or else there is none to be thought of. because the economy dodge is "too thin," considering who it was that did and are doing die dodging. By-the-way, our friend M. says that we ought to adopt the U. S. census, and why? lie says it is liable to be moro correct than census taken by ourselves. Why? Listen; "When the census is thus taken there is no desire on the part of the Uuited Slates that it should he made too large, nor is there any cause for it to bo made less than it is. The United States wishes above everything to obtain the true number of people and a just account of their growth and prosperity; while on the other hand, if it were taken by the State, for the purpose of apportionment, there might bo some counties which would overWinnie their number to obtain a larjer representation anil thereby a greater influence in the State. Did you ever hear the like'.' Then, according to M s way of thinking, there arc, or might he, some Counties so selfish as to lie about their nnnnlftlinn in nrlnr to frt?t n.l?a..tn...I.: -t. rwr" ? - *v 4? wui tu Jo not belong to then). The "screamers,'' the "yelters'' and the "howlers" have never gone so far as to say that Charleston and the low-country would go to this extent of moral depredation to obtain advantages over other sections. The worst they have ever said is that they did not wfnt the census taken, knowing that it would result in a diminution ot tiicir representation. But here comes along tnis sweet singer and :hampion ogaiast the imputation as thus h'.nted tnd admits that some counties might be ictuptsd to lie in order to get advantages which Charleston now enjoys. In conclusion, Mr. Kditor, allow me to say hat there is nothing farther from me than the lesire to add anything to nruusc or increase tectional strife. I have received many favors Torn Charleston and know the people ot the low country, and have every reason to hold hem in the highest regard; but, then, 1 am tot willing that they shall have advantages hat do not belong to them, and believe that uch a spirit of selfishness as is manifest in his whole issue should not go unnoticed and without criticism. The democratic party is virtually the only >arty in (he State, and as I have always been me of that party 1 hope always to be, in order u Keep ingeiiier we gnouiu Keep a strict guard iver eacli other that wo do not abuse our ksuprcmacy to our own hurt.

For tliu Tiuics. Mr. Stokks: My friends nre expecting i thismssuc of your pnper another article froi inc. 1 beg you to publish insteud the followin one from the Carolina Gazelle, which conies i season, on account of (lie action taken at a pul lie meeting on the 1st inst., on the call of Christian gentleman and benevolent pbysiciai who is himself u farmer. Ever since the recovery of the State goveri mcnt by tho Wallace House, a fatal lethargy hi hung over the spirits of the farmers in this ati other Southern States, bringing along with consumption and wasting away of their meat and productions. Dr. Funt, when the farme had assembled on last Monday, pictured th deplorable condition, and called attention to a organization of Georgians for their own prote tiou aud remedy. The farmers of Georgia lia' organized and nre organizing This article fro the Gazelle is replete with facts and nrgumen in favor of the same united organization of tl same industrial class in North Carolina or elsewhere, and will well compensate all wl may read and act upon it. My own views i reference to this subject nu?l others will bo ri sinned hereafter. It. II. Hick. FAUMRR8 SllOVI.n ORUAXIZK. The three great branches or divisious of li man labor arc agriculture, manufactures ni commerce. Of these agriculture is general conceded to be the most important, both on a count of its priority, being coevil with man hit self, and from which erunnntcd the very dawn civilization itself, and also from the fact that is the basis, the ground-sill upon which evci business rests. Thus we find in the scttlciuoi of new territory the productive powers of mt are first directed to this branch of industr because the wants of.man arc directly supplit by it, and thus it becomes the basis not only individual but national wealth as well, and thi gives rise to and supports the other great div sions or departments?that is, manufactures at commerce. Upon this basis they vest, by th they arc sustained, and upon this hinges at depends every other pursuit of man. It woul then seem right and reasonable that a businei of such vast importance should be carefully nu turcd and everything done in its interest, i order to its constant improvement, and to th end organization is necessary. Hut farming i a business has always been looked upon i rather degrading,and his life as one of drudger without attractions, tit only for the unlettcre the unlearned, and many farmers themselv seem to share the same idea, that their's is very bumble calling compared with other avoc tions; that their business ostracises and uufi them for the associations of those in more pr tcntious callings. This should not he so, at the remedy is with the farmers themselves, you do not think enough of your business to tl to elevate it, you may rest assured other pcop will not. Hence, to divest your calling of seet ing degradation and drudgery, and raise it it* proper place and rank among the other av cations of life, organization is necessary. Again, ever since the day it was nimounc< to man that " in the sweat of thy face shaltthi eat bread," it scorns taken for granted that th edict applies solely to the tillers of the soil, at whatever of surplus lie may have, is at tl mercy of the balance of the world. So that tl custom has always been with the farmer iti di posing of his surplus, take what you arc offere and in buying what lie needs to give what ji nre asked. Aud this is so iti a great measu simply because he acquiesces and allows it to so. To remedy this, as far as possible, orgai zation is necessary. For while the great law supply and demand docs and should control, a certain cxtcut, yet the cost of productii should have something to do with prices, at farmers are as much entitled to a reasonal profit on capital investod as any other class men, but rarely if ever do tlicy get it. Futu speculation, gambling in imagined products tc very great extent control. Such speculate should be blotted out, and proper orgnuizuti< among farmers will do it. In other wort farmers have allowed other people to do tin thinking for them. They have suffered tin oocupation to bo a foot-ball, to be kicked ai cuffed at the pleasure of ev?ry tiling ?(<??. Wh farmers arc to be addressed on the great subj< of agriculture, some politician is assigned t task, and they are generally loud in lauding t farmer, the "horny-handed, hardy sons of toil Ptcnns have long been sung in kis praise; ncv paper editors give advice freely, and it is t easiest thing in the world to tell farmers that make their business profitable two bales of ci ton must grow where ono grew before, and th if farmers complain of low prices they are tc that they arc producing too much cotton?t West too much grain, and the South too nui cotton. ;\ow. tanners, we nsk, is it not time for y to take your own affairs?the things tt belong to your own calling?into your ot hands? The laudations of politicians and de: agogucs, their paeans of praise, all this grain ous advice from men who know as little of far ing as most farmers know of law, editiug newspaper, or future speculations in cottc They are all well enough, but never have n never will advance your material interests. There arc other matters we would like tor tice, but our article is already too long, another time we may have something more say. lu co Delusion we say to t lie farmers of tl country, look around and you will find eve other avocation organized, for whose beneti Certainly to promote their own interests, a not in the special interest of any other cla.< l'ondcr the matter well, and sec if there is t n necessity for your organization, and let t work begin at once.
