THE MANNING TIME. WEDESAT MARCE IT,1885, B. S. DINKINS, Editor. Assessment of Property. The following Assessment has been placed on land by the Board of Equal iaation for this County-on Fulton, Calvary, Friendship, St. Pauls, St. Marks, Concord, St. James, Manning, Plowden's Mill, Harmony, and Sammy Swamp. Ara., $3.50. Wood, $1.25. dwayand New Zion-Ara., $3.50. Wood, $1.00. MtZion, Brewington, Douglass, Sandy Grove, and Mott's ridge--Ara. $3.00. Wood, $1.00. All swamp lnds at 20 cts. per acre. The County Board of Equalization will hold its second meeting on the 24th March to hear all aggrievances and complaints in reference to assess ments. In the face of the oft repeated dec laration made by some members on the floor of the deadening and de pressing effect of the present low val uation of land upon the reputation and business interests of the County and extending to the State at large, every effort at affiing anything like an av erage cash valuation was promptly voted down, and the assessment of the year previous was .reduced not far short of seventy-five thousand dollars. This was done too, against the wishes of the people expressed in their re turns, a majority of whom desire to have their lands properly appreciated for their commercial value abroad. By comparing figures and dollars it will be seen that the present Board of County Commissioners (we use them only to illustrate the point in issue) has done its work with less money ..au the Board preceding, and under a great strain, as for instance, the enormous expense oi the Courts, with the large criminal dockets, and the host of witnesses. With all this rig id economy put into active arcise, the funds have fallen short the past year over two thousand dollars, and a similar difficulty was prevented the year before by small unexpended bal anees in the Treasury being brought forward by act of the General Assem bly to meet tfe deficit. To avoid a like trouble these facts were brought to the attention of the . Board, and while a good: minority saw the diffi culty and appreciated the situation, the majority promptly vetoed the un dertaking.. Qwing to the low assess ment of the-past year the levy of four mills was-necessary to raise the Coun ty tax for the fiscal year 1885. This is an economy that carries no benefit to the tax payer, that we can see. A certainsmount of money is necessary for the support of the Government, whetbe-the valuation be high or low. But by the present system there will be asteady building up of a deficien cy, from year to year, of a thousand or more dollars, for the payment of whin a special tax must be levied. Ten whynot pay as we go? If pay ment could be finally avoided we might see the force of the reasoning The policy adopted by the Eqndiizag Board places us as a country and Statenupon a false basis and in a damagin light before the world, whc is detrimental in the extr-em'e to the material interest of the coun try. The statistics of the State, under existing valuations, will represent .us as a desperately poor people, literally taxed to death, when such is not the case. We only hare low assessments, and as a natural consequence high lev ies. We understand a petition is cir sulating to' have undone what has been done. The State Board is the Board of final appeal ; they may take the matter-in hand and come to the The Turningroint. Twenty-two States in the Union of thityeiht have Democratic Govern ors. The home rule of more than three-fifths of the American people is Democratic. The Democrats hold'the House of Represekatiyes by amajority of forty. three. They lack only seven of a majority in the United States Sen ate. At the last electio-2 of a President the Democracy carried twenty States out of thirty-eight by a plurality of 23,000 in a total popular vote of more than 10,000,000. We mention these facts, not only be cause they have present political inter est, but also because they will possess in a certain event, a. melancholy histo rical interest to future generations of Demoerats. They illl mark the highest tide of Democratic success in the latter half of the nineteenth century, provided the American pepe are forced to the conclusion that the Democracy thinks best to stand by its Pan-Electric statesmen,. as the e.rrupt and shame less Republican party stood by its Credit Mobilier men.-Sun. What astenographier Saves. "The actual cost of a Court of Ses sionis $200 prday, with the grand fury. After te grand jury is discharg ed it costs $160 per day. Thesteno grapher,.using short hand system, can write down words as soon as uttered, up to 169 words a minute may be considered fair work. Fully one half of the time of Court is consumed in takring testimony alone. This the Judge cannot write out faster than 25 words a minute. The average daily session is about six hours. By cal cnlation then the stenographer can write as much in a minute as the Judge could in four, saving three fourths of ths time, or 21-4 hours per day, 13 1-2 hours or two days per week, giving a saving of $320 or $400 per week, or $1,200 for the three courts each year,. representing nearly one mill of taxaton in our country. To put the basis of calculation at the lowest possible, there is a saving of one day three courts, $600 per year, for Dar- I lington county. The quota of this i county to the stenographer's salary is r $325. The first estimate saves the f county $825 per year. A mean be- I tween the two would be more cor- I rect. This is the mere dollar and cent e side.-Darlington News. Don't Fool with "Futures." N It is to be hoped that there is not I a farmer in South Carolina who will t take the advice given by "an intelli- t gent, "well-to-do farmer" in the ews t and Courier yesterday. The sugges- t tion that any farmer can invest "the I "honest surplus he made last year in c "future contracts in New York at 9 E cents" is an excellent one-not to adopt. More attention should be given to t the raising of provision crops, and un doubtedly there is pressing need for 9 a greater diversity of agricultural op- I erations, but no farmer can afford to I dabble in "futures." It is a risky and dangerous business, even for those who are in the swim, and it C would be certain financial ruin to any i one not accustomed to the sudden I surprising variations of the market and the tricks of those who control the price of cotton. The farmers should shun futures as they would c shun the pestilence. Millions of dollars are made in this artificial way every year, but just as many millions are lost; and the farmer who speculates in "futures" is t as sure to lose as is the man who i should attempt to beat the game with all the cards stocked against him. Better raise cotton at seven cents a 1 pound all your life, and give a lien for advances on your crops at the rate of 90 per cent profit to the lien shark, than trust your fortunes to the tender consideration of the gamblers who t speculate on the ups and downs of a mythical market.-ews and Courier. 1 The United States Senate, by a vote of 36 to 11, has passed the Blair bill appropriating $77,000,000, in aid of t the common schools in the several c States. Every lover of constitutional I liberty will learn this with profound I regret. No more dangerous scheme i has been foisted upon Congress since t the war. It is a direct blow at the i autonomy of the States, and if it i goes into operation, will be a long stride towards centralization. It will I result in subjecting the public school i system of each State to the absolute I control of Congress. No State can, I without a loss of self-respect, thus ab- i dicate its own sovereignty. The law t is espoused by the Republicans be- t cause they see in it a wedge with which f to split and rend asunder the Solid t South. It will be converted into a gi- ( gantic political machine for the con- t trolling of State elections and will be a ; prolific source of corruption. It is dif- z ficult to see how Southern Senators e can lend themselves to the creation of so monstrous a scheme. State pride alone should be sufficient to induce them to reject this proffered.aid from the Federal government To accept it is to admit that the States are not equal to, the task of performing their plain duty.-Georgetowm Enquirer. Hon. Jas. E. Tindal on the Agricultural Society and its Purposes. Mn. EDrron :-Last October the t Agricultural Society instructed its President to get some one t6 deliver an address before it in January. Two gentlemen had recently attracted wide attention, by a vigorous expression < of their views. The President invit-< ed both of them. Col. Dargan could not come, but wrote a very kind letter,i expressing earnest sympathy with us, and his earnest conviction that or-] ganization was essential to the future 1 prosperity of the Agricultural popu- t lation. Mr. Tillmnan did come and deliver a vigorous speech which has had wide circulation. These gentle men, each in his own line of thouglbt, have earnestly pressed their opinions (4 upon the people of the State, and their views will enter into our future politi cal discussions.1 Free and fair discussion is the life and safeguard of good government.4 It helps the people to take reckonings < of their situation and see whither they< are drifting.'1 The Agricultural Society is not a political organization. Its Constitu- ( tion excludes even the discussion of political questions except such as ef fect especially our farming interests. As many do not seem to understand this, we will illustrate : The Editors]1 of the State have an association, whieh, FLe ours, is non-political. But 1 if it were seriously proposed to cur tail the liberty of the press, that would be a subject affecting the whole peo-C ple, but more especially the editors, and they would discuss it in their so- 4 cietyv, and adopt every rational meas- I ure to prevent it. And so, if it werei proposed to take from physicians the ' right to charge mileage, the medicali association of the State would cry aloud against the measure vigorously. So the farmers have the undoubted right to discuss measures of public ) policy which they believe affect their rights. When it comes to say who ' shall fill the public offices, these socie- I ties, in their organized capacity, have I nothing to do. That belongs to po- 1 litical organizations containing all I classes. But that is not the whole of ( Politics. It is important to 'fill the t offices with honest and capable men, ' but it is of much greater consequence, I that public measures, to be enacted in- I to laws, shall be fair and just to all the e people. Nothing so certainly secures I impartial laws, and a high statesman ship in the conduct of Public affairs, t than full and fair discussion which f awakes the attention of the whole peo-e pe. It is when the people are asleep t that bad laws get upon the Statute t books. It is when apathy, like political s death, comes over the people, that e designing men, or corporations, or >ublic notice, do get men into the Leg- it 3lature, as by stealth, to pass their d aeasures. Apathy is the ruin of the o armer. If a measurer, for example, b >e proposed in Congress, injurious to F ranks, rail-roads, miners, manufactur trs or merchants-all these classes are p in arms at once. The warning ignal is no sooner given, than it re- s erberates over the whole land. But g aillions of dollars may be wrung from lie farmers by indirect methods, and hey would never know it, until pover y and want began to stare them in he face. And should they find it out, ow could they be a match without rganization, for the organized class- t s, who were robbing them? n A proud old man came to my house ome time ago, who had a fine planta ion, from which, he said, poverty had lriven him away. He was peddling b bout books and life insurance, etc. " le said that money could not now be I nade at farming, "and" he continued, it must ever more be a losing busi ess.' But his heart yearned for the old home. He remembered tenderly, Ls happy associations, and his proud teart made him keenly sen, ive of the lependent, mendicant-like business te was at, as contrasted with the in lependence of his once, more prosper us farm life. I said to him : my R riend, does not the cities and towns, nd all mankind live upon the pro luctions of the soil? Yes! Well then, f the people who coax those produc ions from the soil, can make nothing, s it not because the rest of mankind b fi ,et more than a fair share of their 8 iwn hard earned productions? And a ow is this except that the Statesman- h hip and policy which has guided our P fairs have allowed it to be possible ? 9 Lnd shall the farmer never organize or b earn anything of their rights? Will o hey join no society for their benefit? 11 01 The Agricultural Society is for the C )enefit of Agricultute. It is not E ainst any other class. It is for the ducation and enlightenment of farm ,rs through and by each other-with he assistance of honest, fair and gen- - rous men of any calling, who have iuman hearts and do not wish to live >y taking advantage of their igno ance. Just laws for all the people, is he true interest .of the Agricultur st. And just laws are what they vant, and it is all they seek, either in r out of the Society. A friend said o me, "your society should not meet n Manning, some people here are op >osed to such societies." Are they? lave they more wisdom than Calhoun d nd Webster who said that Agricul- tj ure is the basis of our wealth? Does h he good God rain down Manna (t or some, that they may have no in- f N erest in the productions of our soil? )r in those who dig those produc- a ions from it? Anything which could Is 'ven in a small degree benefit our ag iculture would in like degree benefit a Imost everybody else. J. E. TINDAL March 13, 1886. HORRIBLE! 'he hanging of two men in an insensible condition. NE~w ORxz.Gs, LA., March 12.--At .30 this morning when the keepers of he jail made efforts to arouse Ford uxd Murphy they could not wake hem up. After examination the phy, iicians concluded that the men had1 aken belladonna. At 9.30 Murphy iad rallied a little, but Ford was still r mnconscious. C A State/ Baton Rouge specially 0 ays: The Governor this morning re ~eived a telegram from Sheriff Butler, jti >f Orlesuis Parish, saying: "Ford and t durphy attempted suicide this morn- k ng by swallowing poison. They are in b Sstupor and in a comatose condition. i )octors believe the attempt a failure, S ut cannot say ho~w long it may tak'e A a restore them to consciousness. should they not revive before the iour fixed, shall I execute the warrant otwithstanding?" The Governor re-. lied: "Yes, go on with the execution. arry out the warrant." Ford and durphy were hanged at 12.51 o'clock. Preparations for the execution egan at 12.03 o'clock, when the yard nd corridors were cleared of prison >rs. Both men were lying in their :ells. Murphy was in the same semi onscious state and, although his eyes vandered in all directions, he could1 iot understand what was going on. b )nly once he gave evidence of con- bi ciousness, and then he held out his se iand to Pat and endeavored to shake vw iands with him, but it was only for t in instant. His face once more re axed into unconsciousness, and this -ta~ iotwithstanding that emetics caused ir iim to eject the poison. It was of a ~reenish hue, and after a careful ex imination was pronounced to be pow- g ered belladonna. At 12.35 the arms aid legs of the two men were pinion d while they were in a recumbent >ostion. Six witnesses were sworn tb n by sheriff Butler, and the death arrant was read to ears without hear g and shown to eyes without sight. he men were carried to the scaffold - t 12.45. It was indeed a miserable spectacle. Lt the gallows they were placed in a itting position with their backs to a vall to give them support. Nearly allA >resent involuntarily turned away in com the sickening sight, some even iving to nerve themselves against a inting fit and to hold fast to the bal-E ony rail for support. -Fortunately here was not long to wait. It needed nly a few minutes, or seconds rather,J :r the executioner, in domino and masak, to adjust the ropes and black in aps. He then as quickly re-entered he is cage. Almost instantly the sharp ii~ swish" of the axe was heard as it cut e*o be rope and simultaneously the trap ti ll. The bodies shot downwards ce ight feet, rebounded with a jerk, and te ben fell back, stretching the cords-to be utmost tension. Death was in bantaneous. The bodies were allow-'j M d to hang twenty-five minutes and ere then cut At 1.15 P. M. the ime jury which witnesed the hang-. tg viewed the bodies, and gave a ver ict of death by hanging. T he necks both men were dislocated. The, >dies were taken charge of by the ord family. A Birthday Party a bore to Him Kill anything? asked a citizen of the iburbs who met - a boy carrying a tin.
