"She fUrden Spot of 1 he South.99
When "Bks" Shepherd reached Ohi !
onco, on Sun-lay. he was interviewed bva !
Tribune tcpoiler. who brought up the
question of Port 11 ova!. What was said ias
follows:
"How about the 1P3' you are going to
founloear Port lioya). South Carolina.
"There is nothing of it a- yet"
"Bat 1 ha Eastern papers have stated
th it you arc going to build, or have laid
oat. a city there on a magnificent scale.'
"The Eastern paper say a great many
thing . 1 h S ?vie y 1 f Gardeners have
organized a company in New York, and
are looking about for capital to s art them
in :iri entornri>e. which is the raisin* of
enily vegetables, on a.large scale, lor the ,
Northern markets."
"Have they spoken to you on the subject?"
"Yes, sir, they have; but I have done
nothing as yet in regard to the matter.
Six years ago T was down in that country,
and I thought that it wasth j wry garden
sjHit of the South, and just the place for
raising vegetables lor the Northern uiar-1
ketson a very large scale."
"Well then, you are thinking of going
intothe enterprise, and laying out a city?
"I am studying up the matter, but i
have come to no conclusion."
Whatever "Boss" "Shepherd's idea
may be about founding a new city at or
near Port Royal, be or the Society of
Gardeners, if such society exists, have hit
ihe nail on the head when they talk
about coming to this section for the purpose
of raising early vegetables on a
large scale for the Northern markets.
No location in the South is better adapted
for this purpose than the Sea Island5'
in this county, and skilled gardeners from
ihe north who could adapt their operations
to the changed climate, where they
can raise garden truck during every
month in the year, could not fail to
make a profitable investment. In fact
"ihere's millions in it," especially as
there are ample facilities to ship produce
bv steamers direct from Port Royal to
New York. The advent of these gardeners
would mark a new era in the agriculture
of these islands, and we should
lik-e Mr, Shepherd to do something in regard
to this matter without delay. Raise
that capital and send us the Society of
Gardeners.
What gave rise to this interview, we
suppose, the fact that Mr. A. R. Shep
herd's name appears as an incorporator
of the South Carolina Land and Improvement
Co., who are interested somewhat
in Spring Island.
A New Railroad.
Mr. Johnson of South Carolina, is in
the city for the purpose or solieting subscriptions
to survey the route for a railroad
ir on Spartanburg to Augusta, via
Laureusville, Ninety-Six an! Edgefield.
The counties along the route have agreed
to subscribe for the survey, and Mr. Johnson
hopes that Augusta will do her share.
He has a map of the section through
which the proposed road is to pass, which
he will be happy to show to citizens.?
Augusta Chronicle.
This is the route wo have so repeatedly
urged as being one of commercial necessity,
and which ?ooncr or later the sections
through which it runs will find advantageous
a* bringing them into communication
by air line to the harbor of Port Royal,
and which would rid them of the present
monopoly of transportation which is ta
ken advantage of by the extortionate i
rates charged by the Greenville and Co- |
lurubia R. R., now their only line of com-;
tuunication with the sea l>oard. Port j
Royal must become the entrepot for the j
interior of our State.
Georgia might as well take pattern j
by South Carolina in the number of com-!
mittee e'erks employed in the House of
Representatives. Georgia has fifty-four
at seven dollars per day; South Carolina
only five at five dollars per day. Who !
would believe that a democratic government
would be so extravagant?
" The Indiana school system employs j
2,000 officers iu its management. It ed- !
ucates m>re than half a uiil'ion children j
and costs 4,OOAOOO annually. The Superintendent
argues in his report that in
a great degree the future welfare of the
S'ate depends upon the normal school.
The greatest defect in the system com is!
as the result of the employment of novices
as instructors of children. The greatest
need of the schools is thoroughly .
trained teachers."
In this State there appears to be a desire
to abolish the normal school, audyei
.a similar defeet exists in our school sys-!
tern.

The establishment of a new naval station
at Port Rf>ya\ which is to be the \
rendezvous of a large |>ortion the Lmted
States fleet, is attracting renewed atten- j
tiou to it? importance both in a naval an l
commercial point of view. It is by a'l

Mr. A. A. Bradley presented a petit'on
praying that instructions be issued o
Mr. Massev, road overseer, to work
Whitehall Ferry and tt.am l-land road.
It was considered by the board that they
had no knowledge that it was a highway
at present, and that the proper way foi
petitioners to proceed would be to pre
sent a petition to the board to lay out
such a road. The road in question is the
one that Mr. Kendall, through whose
land it passes, has recently closed, he
holding that it had only been a road to
Kaiu's Island on sufferage. The con
sideration of the matter was postponed
until the Sth day of March, so as to give
an opportunity for all parties in interest
to attend the board.
The auditor made application to the
board tor the purchase of records, the
private property of the clerk of the court,
which he state I were of the utmost importance
for use in his office. The books
in question were a complete list of lands
sold by the Direct Tax Commissioners
in this county together with plats of the
land prepared by Mr. Judd. The audi'
tor explained their utility, and the board
decided to give it their consideration at a
future time. They will cost $ 100. At a
previous meeting, it being understood
that it was simply a map of the county,
h J hoard bad refused to purchase.
O.i Tuesday afternoon the road overseers
presented their bills for about twenty
days service each, which after being
cut down were pro-rated and paid. Quite
a number of other claimants waited anxiously
until evening, when the board de
c'ded to pro rate the claims of those pre
sent and issued the following checks :
Thos. II. Wheeler $199.75; William
Josiah $2.40; Marcus Simmons $5.70
Joseph Cohen 820.04; Monday William
$23.19; W. M. French $19.50; Richard
Simmons $7.20; A. W. Mackenfuss

Legislative Notes.
The tax bill for 1877 has been tabled in
the House by a vote of 49 to 30.
The committee of claims re ported a bill
for the relief of E. B. Wesley, which provides
for the payment of $479,00'i, to be
paid by a tax levy of five and a half mills
in seven years. In 1872 by a loan of this
amount less the accrued interest the State
was enabled to redeem and cancel, two
millions four hundred and eighty-five
thousand dollars, of bonds of the Blue
llidge Railroad, guaranteed by the State.
The claim is perfectly legitimate, but this
bill has evidently been delayed too late in
the session for anything to be accomplished.
Articles ot impeachment have been
- opted by the House against Judge
Montgome^' Moses of the seventh circuit.
The charges are wilful neglect of duty;
that he has compelled per-euiptorily public
officers to violate law by issuing evidence
of public indebtedness, contrary to
law: that he has repeatedly corruptly demanded
and received from officers of his
courts public money entrusted to them,
promising to interpose his judicial power
to screen and protect them from punishment.
The trial before the Senate wa*
j fixed for Wednesday. Hon. R. B. Elliott:
will conduct the prosecution, assisted by I
the members of the board of managers ot j
which he is chairman.
The bill to change the circuits, by ,
which it was proposed to legislate Judges- j
i elect \V. J. Whipper at d ex-Gov Mo- j
ses out of their positions, has been tabled I
|
! in the Senate by a vote of 17 to 9.
j The consideration of the repott of the
i committee on Representative J. D. Rob j
ertson, and his connection with corrupt |
propositions as to the text books, has
i hr>pn nostnoned until Mondav next.

Washington's birthday was celebrated
at the Sea Island Hotel, by a balj
given by the Washington Steam Fire En.
gine Co. The hall was most tastefully
decorated, and the followers of Terpsichore
chased the fleeting hours until chan
tieleer heralded the dawn of another day.
The supper at midnight, was a credit to
theciterer, and taking into consideration
the music, the dancing, the supper, and
those few remarks of Mr. Lock wood, this
anniversary of the Washington Steam
Fire Engine Co. will be looked hack to as
one of the pleasant events of this ceutet nial
year.

Editor Standard and Commercial:
Some person signing as 11 A citizen "
has written me concerning ce.tain suppled
violations of law, and requests
that I take cognizance of the matter. 14 A
C'tizen " shows commendable zeal in the
work he has undertaken, and appears to
be well posted upon the subject com
* " i ^? i..nn
plained or, ami tnerciurc Luust na>u mv
ne>sed what is alleged, or is the associate
of some one who conveyed this information
to him. I judge from the charracter
of the communication that " citizen
v is a person of high morals, and
consequently would make no statement
detrimental fo the reputation of anyone,
and would never stoon to base so grave
a charge upon mere rumor or gossip.
If this I e so. why does " A citizen "
show such a lack of moral courage and
hide behind a notn de plume ? His information
must be poorly founded, or the
communication is the result of suspicion
or in a'ice, or else ''citizen 'is not what
he pretends to be, but is either a hypocrite
or mo al coward.
If "citizen'' will state under oath what
he eharges, or give his source of "information
a ;<d belief" so that the charge
can be sustained by witnessess, we will
move upon the enemy's works at once "
and " allow no guilty man to escape, " i
but unless citizen has the courage to do
this he should hold his peace.
Cit'zen will find that I will go as far, j
and do as much as needed to correct the
evil wheu it is put iu such form as will I
make it appear more than gossip or ru- j
mor. !
I reply to citizen, beacause I desire
to get at the truth of the charge he make j
and from no other motive, but under or- (
ditiarv circumstances would treat anony J
