E. ^jfcz^ttAY, Editor. TAY, JANTJABY 3, 1884. TBBMS: is year....._.. 81.50. 8IX months- 75c. Two Dollars If not paid in advance. The tax levy for the ensuing year for Anderson County is eleven mills instead of n:.ne and one-fourth mills, as it was last year. One-fourth of a mill of this additional sum is an increase in State taxes; one and one-fourth mills is for .- past indebtedness; and the remaining one-fourth of a mill is for current County ?: expenses. The levy is as follows: State tax 5 mills, school tax 2 mills, County tax for current expenses 2} mills, and for past County indebtedness l\ mills. A larger sum was asked for County pur? poses by the . Commissioners, but the delegation from this County would not agree to any further increase. A pro vis , . job .was made permitting the Commis? sioners to borrow, money to the extent of three-fourths of the levy for past indebt ;: edness, and also of current expenses at rate of interest not to exceed eight per cent, in order to pay off back-debts and to run the County this year on a cash basis as far as possible. We have no jgpaonbt our present Commissioners will utilize the discretion which has been granted them in such manner as to efifeci a considerable saving to the County. The Legislature adjourned on Monday the 24th of December, at. half-past two o'clock in the morning, after a session of just twenty-eight days, or really a session"-of twenty-three days. Daring this time a very large amount of business was transacted, much of which, however, was of local importance. We will, from time to time, publish the whole or parts of the Acts passed, that our readers may be informed of the changes made in existing laws at the late Session. The local Acts passed for Anderson wererK An Act to amend tbe Charter of the X; Townof Pendleton. An Act to amend the Charter of the Town of Williams ton. An Act to incorporate, certain Town ships in Abbe villa and Anderson Coun? ties, and to permit them to subscribe to the Sayan nah Valley Railroad. An Act to change' the conditions of the .City.; of Anderson's subscription to the Savannah Valley Railroad. An Act to provide for the organization cf an efficient Fire -Department in the j City of Anderson. An Act to incorporate the Anderson Building and Loan Association. An Act to authorize the County Com? missioners of Anderson County to sell the Court House and land adjacent thereto, and build a new Court House . with the proceeds therefrom, if they deem it advisable. An Act to increase the number of .Trial Justices in Anderson County to seventeen. jjggL: In our judgment, the work of the late session was entirely too hurried, and therefore we anticipate finding numer? ous inaccuracies in the legislation when it appears in permanent form. The Constitution should be amended bo as : to fix the meeting of the Legislature on the .Tuesday after the second Monday in November, instead of the fourth, as it now is, thereby allowing a session of about six weeks, instead of only a little over.four. fuke malice. The Railroad Commission act was . passed because it was known that the -people of this State were being oppress? ed, despoiled and injured by the rail? roads. It was passed because the roads were guided in all their action towards the public by the interests of the syndi? cates and chiefs of corporations and dis? regarded the. principles of law, of busi? ness, and of justice.. It was. passed be? cause the best thinkers of the State saw that the railroads were becoming the vir-'? tual rulers and masters of the State and the people and using their tremendous power despotically and in arbitrary de? fiance of all rules and circumstances. It was passed because the Hon. ?. B. Mur? ray, Representative from Anderson and editor of the Anderson Intelligences, . clamored and spoke for it in and out of season and expended all the force of bis mind, voice, experience and influence to pass it, and because a large number of legislators who had come directly, from, the people obeyed the people's com >_ mand. The commission bill was virtually re? pealed because the railroads demanded that it should be, and enforced their de? mand with all tbe mysterious and com? plex influences usual in such circumstan? ces ; because it was suddenly discovered that tbe Commission was repelling some hitherto unheard of and still unknown foreign capital ; because Hon. E. B. Murray, Representative from Anderson, editor of the Anderson Intelligencer and Director of the Columbia & Greenville Railroad, suddenly turned from tbe evil of bis ways and urged its repeal diligent? ly, aad because nine colored members and our esteemed Charleston cotempora ry also reversed their political course and discovered with remarkable unanimity and enthusiasm that they bad been en? tirely wrong and altogether stupid. That is the history in brief of the Railroad Commission which now ought to beabol ? isbed because it has been made power? less, useless and expensiver This is purely personal malice on the part of our Greenyille contemporary, for there are at least ten other as honorable men as can be found in the State who changed their votes upon the new rail? road bill. Our contemporary will find that Mr. Murray is not the only railroad director who changed his vote, but an? other leading member of tbe House, who is a director in an important projec? ted railroad changed his vote, and still another leading and influential member, who has been made president of a pro? jected railroad with which tbe News is acquainted since the last session of the Legislature, also changed his vote in this ? matter. The News, however, seeks to criticise Mr. Murray alone. He can stand it, for his constituents favored a more entensive curtailing of tbe railroad legislation than that for which Mr. Mur? ray voted. The News no doubt did not favor any curtailing of the Commission's power. It has just drawn $660 for ad? vertising for tb j Commission during the ? past four 'months. These advertisements were mainly the rates of freights, and onr contemporary paid the Register for supplements and obtained a handsome profit for simply folding these Supple? ments with tbe daily News and sending them out. This was a legitimate trans? action, but still it shows that our con? temporary, was npi disinterested in its desire to maintain tho Commission's power to fix rates. The News is also mistaken in thinking ? the Commission has no power. On the contrary, as will be seen from the synop? sis of the new law which is published elsewhere,- the Commission has very large supervisory powers, and in fact out pres? ent railroad law is the most stringent law in - the United States outside of the States of Georgia, Illinois and perhaps Tennessee.. The News has been offended because Mr. Murray did not take its ad? vice and refuse to serve as a director of the Columbia and Greenville Railroad* It has never advised any Greenville man to refuse to serve, and has never criti? cised any one of them for accepting such positions. Mr. Murray, under these cir-. curostances, preferred to take the advice of his friends in Anderson rather than of the News. He has already stated that if the business men of Anderson at any time desired him to resign as a director, or if the stockholders of the C. & G. road wished his resignation, it would be im? mediately*: tendered. As long, however, as.these two classes are satisfied with his action he will not heed the unreasonable interference of the newspaper of a rival city, nor will he be swayed from his con? victions of What is right by its personal vituperation. nuts for dibbotor murray. Anderson, Dee. 24th, 1883. ^ the Mitor ^ Th^ News: In sn editorial of the .Anderson In? telligencer of September 27th, ap? pears the following: "It is safe, therefore, to say that the present passenger rates will pay the rail? roads more "than the former rate did, and this excess will come but of the peo? ple, in consequence of the Commission's failure to establish' a second-class rate and & thousand mile rate. "The local rates are lower in some in? stances and higher in others, but the average wilt be found to be slightly higher than-the rates heretofore of force. The railroads .will gain in income out of the Commissioners'local standard." -And in an editorial in the same paper, of date Oct. 4th, in reply to a criticism signed "Broadawsy," which had been published by you, appears the following: Broadaway n is. not more' fortunate in as? serting that:the Intelligencer is help* ing to create an anti-railroad law senti? ment, for the statement is at variance with the facts. We were,, and. still are, in favor of the railroad law, and have never expressed any other sentiment, but we have criticised the manner in which thelaW has been executed. I ' * .," * . It is preposterous that tue railroads should complain of their ?ratea.beibjgT?iBed.'' How does this read in connection with Mr. Murray, the editor of the Intelli gencer, being the member of the Legis? lature to first introduce a bill which vir? tually kills the railroad law? Either Mr. Murray did not know what he was writing about in October, or it was inten? ded by making the law odious and un? popular with the people to create a sen? timent in the State looking towards its repeal; which? What a picture for you, Mr. David, to draw. Mr. Murray in October: "It (tho K. R. law) is good enough for the railroads, but bad for the people. The railroads will gain in income out of the Commission's local standard;" and Mr. Murray in December, as representative, railroad director and editor, working, writing and voting to take all life out of the railroad law, and all authority from the Commissioners. Why? It the following is correct, which is also from the same editorial in the An? derson Intelligencer, of what possible good can Mr. Murray's connection with the Board of Directors. of the 0. & G. R. R. be to his constituency ? "Suffice it to sajr. once for all, that we are not acquainted with a single mem? ber of either the Clyde or the Seney Syndicate, and<never had any conference with any member of the Syndicate, eith? er oral, or in writing, and furthermore have not conferred with the president or any executive officer of the Columbia & Greenville Railroad since the local tariff was established, either orally or in writ? ing." . Mr. Murray is ambitious and young. He seeks public life, aud therefore his public acts are matter of proper com? ment and discussion among his constitu? ents, and he should bear in mind that consistency is a jewel, and one, we are sorry to say, his record shows him not to have. . Broadaway. . "Broadaway" in the writer who attack? ed as last Summer, and declined to make' himself known or appear in the columns of the Intelligences. He is again attacking the editor of the Intelligen? cer away from home, his purpose evi? dently being to injure us, and knowing that upon this subject bis task would be hopeless at home, goes with his effusion where he hopes he will receive some sympathy. . We have nothing to conceal from the readers of the Intelligencer upon our connection with railroad legis? lation, and therefore again publish the attack of this writer, who has not the moral courage to write over his ewn sig? nature, and thereby place the discussion upon an equal footing, but prefers to keep unknown in order to prevent an exposition of his own motives. We have an idea of the identity of ''Broadaway," which induces the belief that he does not reside in Anderson. We again in-, vite bim to unmask, and if we. are cor? rect we have a little fact connected with his position in this matter which would interest the people, but would be far from amusing to him. ' The articles which we wrote last Sum* mer were based entirely on information from Anderson merchants as to rates, and were correct so far as this place is con- ? cerned. The rates were raised by the Commission, so far as Anderson is con? cerned, but the actual facts show that on the Columbia & Greenville and Char? lotte, Columbia & Augusta roads and their branches, they have as a whole been reduced. In the reduction, howev? er, the Commission have done it in such way as to annoy, or in some way, dis? please the business men; for in three fourths of the towns along these roads the business men favored a repeal or modification of the Commission law. "Broadaway" thinks our connection with the Direction of the C. & G. road can be of no-possible advantage to our con? stituents. This, however, is not a mat? ter for. his decision. He is also grieved because we are not consistent. Well, a man with any sense has to .try to be more than consistent. It is s. higher duty to be right than to be consistent. The man who is consistent? that in, according to "Broadaway"?never changes his opinions, is either infallible, or he has not sense enough to see that he errs. We know that we are not infalli? ble, aud we hope that we have enough judgment to do what we believe to be right, according to the factfc au they exist at any given time. We have no objection to criticism. Every public officer should be fairly aud openly criticised wherever their is occa? sion for it, but we do object to misrepre? sentation. "Broadaway" is mistaken when he says that Mr. Murray seeks public life. His friends know that be sought two years ago to retire from the canvass to attend to his private business, but circumstances rendered it almost out of his power to retire then; but he has for some time past announced his intention to retire from the Legislature at the end of his present term, and devote himself to . professional pursuits, which are both more profitable and more pleasant. We hope it will afford "Broadaway" satisfaction to know that whatever ambition we may have, does not run in the line of becoming a pro? fessional politician, and we can assert, with perfect frankness, that we have never shaped our course on any measure in legislation from considerations other than to do the best that could be done under existing circumstances for the greatest nnmber of people. With this consciousness we retire from the Legis? lature With 1 ta single regret, and that is that our ability to represent the people who have honored us has not been equal to our desire to serve them. The Orangeburg Time*-Democrat says: "Last Winter, when tbe Bailroad Bill came up for consideration in the Qeneral Assembly, Mr. E. B. Murray, a member of the House from Anderson, warmly supported the measure. As we all know, the bill was passed, but, before its work? ings are fairly tested, we find Mr. Murray introducing a bill into the House which practically repeals tbe old bill. Mr. Murray claims that bis mind has under? gone a change, on tbe subject since the first Bailroad Bill was passed. Lact summer, when Mr. Dibble announced his . preference for Bandall as the Bafest man for the Democrats to make Speaker, this same. Mr. Murray, in the Anderson Intelligencer, assailed Mr. Dibble, and demanded bis resignation. Why? Simply because Mr. Dibble did not agree with him on the Speakership question; and yet we find him sloshing around on all sides of the railroad .question. Has anybody called for his resignation be? cause of his error of judgment on the railroad question ?" This, like a great many other things said about Mr. Murray, is not true. He did not demand Mr. Dibble's resignation. He merely expressed the opinion that a Representative, on mere matters of poli? cy, had no right to put his own preferen? ces, over the wishes of his constituents. Nor is the comment of our contemporary any more accurate as to the railroad bill. It had been tested far enough to see that it was working injuriously, and the whole section of the State which Mr. Murray represented desired its repeal or its mod? ification. The modification he favored does not repeal the old law. It merely takes away the power of the Commission to regulate rates, and gives them the super? vision of these rates, with power to have fair rates enforced by an appeal to the Courts of our own State. The facts, however, are of little consequence, it seems, to those who wish to pay off some grudge against Mr. Murray for any act of his as a Representative or an editor which has displeased them. Go it gentlemen'. Where the facts do not bear you out, make them as you go. Christmas Crimes and Casualties. . The list of Christmas tragedies and .ac? cidents is a long and grim one. To begin with, we had two shooting affrays in this county, one or both of which may result fatally; at New Or? leans Wm. McCaffray, a prominent poli? tician, was shot and instantly killed by the proprietor of a gambling house from which he bad been ejected while he was attempting to re-enter it; at Newbery port, Mass., Arthur Currier was shot and killed by a loose woman in a barroom ; at Uniontown, Pa., a Hungarian shot and killed a strange man in a drunken row; at Cleveland, Ohio, a saloon keep? er shot and killed one of a party of drunken men who were bombarding his place with beer kegs; in New York city a policeman shot and killed one of a gang of roughs who had raided a saloon and assaulted him; in the same city Jacob Zeigler was struck on the head with a beer pitcher and killed by Henry Theiss; on the same city William Krause was killed by a peddler and a dissolute woman during a drunken quarrel iu bis own room; at McDade Texas, three bad characters were lynched on Christmas eve, and on Christmas day six of their friends entered the town for revenge and three of their party and one citizen of the town were killed in a fight with re? volvers and shot guns; at Yazoo City, Miss., John Posey, C. Posey and Jasper Nicholls, white, and John James, colored, were'killed in a night encounter caused by a difficulty between one of the Poseys and James, the negroes organizing and firing on the whites; near Moncure, N. C, an old woman and her daughter and grandchild were murdered by unknown parties. A desperate affray occurred at Allen dale, Barnwell County, between John Huolett, a policeman, his two sons John and Tom Huolett and bis two graadsons Evan and Jayce Strange, aud L. B. and Frank O'Bryan and A. T. Allen. Pis? tols, knives and sticks were used. Tom, Huolett and Evan Strange were shot dead, L. B. O'Bryan was seriously cut and four other persons were wounded. In Edgefield County John Agnel was | killed and his father probably fatally beaten by three Hamiltons, knives and shotguns being used; at BennettBville, Marlboro" County, a colored man was killed while resisting arrest; at Vau cluse, Aiken County, a man named Scott was shot and killed. Three accidental I deaths, two murders, a fire aud a score of serious accidents are reported from Sa? vannah. Near Salem, Ind., a train ran into the Blue River, the bridge being washed away, killing eight persons and wound? ing many others; near New Haven Conn., the boiler of a locomotive explo ded, injuring three men; at Fort Wayne, Ind., a railroad collision injured eight persons; at Indianapolis a collision kill? ed one man; at Minneapolis, Minn., a wild engine wrecked a freight train kill? ing one man; at Portsmouth, N. H., a train was wrecked by a broken switch, injuring several persons slightly; at Leesburg, Pa., a mail train was wrecked; at Barton's Landing, Vt., a freight train was wrecked. At St. Louis one fire killed two men and burnt $110,000, and another destroy? ed $400,000 worth of property; at Cape Girardeau, Mo., a flouring mill was burn? ed, causing a loss of $90,000; at Cbippe wa Falls, Wis., a fire destroyed $35,000 of property; at Utica the Utica Match Co's factory was burned; loss $20,000. Charles Souber killed himself at Phil? adelphia; Pa., by jumping from a third story window during depression caused by bis wife's death. At Cumberland, Md., a miner's wife was run over and killed by a sleigh ; at Pittsburg, Pa.; many persons were injur? ed during a panic in a polish Church ; a succession of furious gales is reported from the coast of Nova Scotia with what loss to life and property is yet unknown ; the Ohio River is up, and may do great damage before the freshet subsides. 26 shooting affrays, 28 murders, 5 serious fires, 8 railroad accidents and 14 accidental deaths so far reported. The Gist of the New Railroad Law. Owing to the many amendments made to the bill in the Senate the public, no doubt, have a very imperfect idea of the effect of the new bill as passed on the Railroad law as it now stands. The fol? lowing synopsis of the bill gives a clear and intelligent view of the changes that have been made in the law and their effect on the railroads and on the public : All those sections of the late law giv? ing the commission power to fix rates are repealed. The railroads are to sub? mit their rates to the commission for ap? proval or modification before putting them into effect. If the commission ap? prove, they go into effect almost imme? diately. If the commission disapprove and modify after hearing argument from the roads, and the roads will not accept the commission's modification, they have the right to appeal to the Circuit Judge of Richland County, or in his absence to some other Circuit Judge selected by the Chief Justice. The evidence taken be? fore the commission is submitted to him and he must decide the case within ten days, his decision to be final. During the pendency of the appeal, the rates in force at the time the chauge was pro? posed by the roads shall remain in force and be enforced until the question at issue shall be adjudicated. The rates to be submitted to the com? mission by the roads include through and joint rates. The commission have the right, if they consider the rates in force unreasonable or discriminative, to change them to just and reasonable rates. If the roads refuse to consent to such modi? fications they can appeal to the Court in the manner provided above. The attor? ney-general conducts all cases for the commissioners. The sections against discrimination re? main in the law. Provision is made for speedy adjudication upon suits for dis? crimination brought by parties against the roads, the commissioners acting as agents for-the parties suing. The penal? ties for discrimination or unjust charges are quite heavy. The provisions as to passenger rates re? main unchanged. Provision is there made for second class fares. The Barn well Railway is to be considered an in? dependent road. Shocking Accident. A terrible accident occurred at Flor? ence on Christmas night, in which a young man was killed instantly and his body horribly mangled, and another se? riously wounded. It appears that a party of young men who desired to make a loud noise improvised a cannon out of a steam pipe, which they obtained from the railroad shops, which they charged with a large loadof powder and rammed down with considerable force. When the piece was discharged a terrific explo? sion followed, caused by the bursting of the pipe. One of the fragments struck a young man named HcBeth on the bead, crushing in the left side of the face aud skull, and another piece struck him on the left side, tearing away the flesh and ribs and exposing bis heart to view. His death was instantaneous. Another young man, whose name could not be learned, was struck on the head by a flying piece of the pipe, which fractured his skull. His injuries are serious, if not fatal.?Cohimbia Register. NOTICE FINAL SETTLEMENT.
