and a confiscation of private property
to compensate attorneys wko liave
been employed to work up (bis case
for s certain amount, but, if so, it is
equally unjust and unfair to deprive
men of their pay after they have done
the work and the object of it is al
most attained. There was ao o'y
about altorneva’ pay when there wa a
so little probability of the people
ever getting this money bae\. Such
strenuous objections ou^nt to have
been raised and urged when Messrs.
Etude and Trescot Were first employed
and before they d.'d the work. It is
true the attorneys will get well paid
but it was a contract tactly agreed to

Ought They to Borrow the Mouej?
If the County Conimisaloners had
acted when they were empowered to
•by the Legislature, the money to pay
school ulaims would have been in tho
hands of the Treasurer a month ago,
when few claims had been disposed
cf by the original owners and when
there could be no question as to wlieth-
-er the money should be borrowed or
not. It was known all over the County
That the hill was passed allowing the
County Commissioners to borrow the
•money to pay school claims, and no-
lices were inserted in the papers for
owners to hold their claims and they
have held them and hold them still.
Not a tenth of the claims have been
disposed of, us can be easily ascer
tained by inquiring of those who deal
in them and many of those that have
been disposed of arc only disposed of
conditionally and at a very small per
cent, discount. The sohoal fund is
about $14,300 and whether it is better
for teachers to discount tb» twelve or
thirteen thousand dollars that they
etiil hold and will come into posses
sion of and lose twelve ot fifteen hun
dred dollars on them or for the County
Commissioners to borrow the whole

left alone. Commercial fertilizers ara
good iu their Way, and often very
valuable additions to the stock of
manure on a farm. But when depen
dence Is placed bn them solely, aud
no efi.jrta are made to utilize the va
rious kind of manures that accumu
late on every farm, success can not
attend the farmer’s misdirected ef
forts. The lands around Aiken are
mostly of a sandy character,
and do respond readily lor a time
to the use of commercial ferti
lizers; but these fertilizers when used
alone will cause exhaustion of the
soil in time. They should Ua used in
conjunction with other manures
when they will always produce the
best results. We have Always vigor
ously opposed the sate of cotton seed
to the oil mills by our farmers; as we
have felt that such a practice must in
evitably result in the impovishment
of the soil. In this way the oil
mills that have been built thoughout
the South have worked great injury
to our section. The farmers are be
guiled into selling their cotton seed
under the specious plea that they can
buy back the meal, and put that on
their lands; as one ton of meal is
truly more effective as manure than
two tons of uncrushed cotton seed.
But the practical working of tho sj’s-
(em is that they sell their seed, spend
the money obtained for it and not buy
back the meal. Consequently their
hinds are robbed. We well know that
the- moat successful farmers of Aiken
County will not part with their cot
ton seed under any ordinary circum
stances. But many farmers, unfor
tunately, do, and these are they who
nr» now making arrangements to buy
commercial fertilizers. To all, how
ever, who are now getting in their
fertilizers we would say obtain only
the best brands of the sort of stuff
desireo, whether it be acid phosphate,
kuinit or ammoniated. Do not be in
duced to use anything because it is to
be had at a low price. 8o called
cheap goods are usually very poor in
vestments. One can very seldom get
for its
full value. AndVhere is no greater
lack of economy exfiibited than when
inferior fertilizers are used in the
hope that they will produce good
crops.

The Blair Bill.
amo int at the expense of a thousand
dollars is merely a matter of calcula- anything in this world except
tion.
Teachers are poorly paid now* and
should not be allowed to discount
these claims if it can be helped. There
Js more flmn enough back money in
the treasury of this County to the
creditor ths school fund than it will
take to pay the interest on tiic loan
and we think there is no just reassn
why the money should not be bor
rowed aud it is certain there was
none a month ago. Our Legislators
'erred when they placed this power to
borrow money in the County Com
missioners. The School Commjs-
eioner was the proper person to do it.
as the schools are entirely separate
■ from the County affairs, and, there
fore, it was placing an extra and un
necessary duty on the County Com
missioners tylp* have little d esir,J to
perform it.

This bill which has met with so
much opposition has at last passed

The bill appropriates annually for eight
years the following sums to be '‘expanded

education to all children of school aste,
living in the United States.”
First year, $7,000,000 • second year, $1Q,-
000,000: third vear, $1.3,000,000; fourth year,

year, $9,000,00(1: seventh vear, $7,000,000;
oighth year, $5,000,000. The mon**y is to
be divided among the several States and
Territories and the District of Columbia
in proportion to illiteracy--the computa
tion to be made according to the census of
4880, and(afterwards) 1890. There are to
be separate schools for white apd colored
children. Ny State or Territory is to re
