TE MANNING TIMES. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY16,1887. B. S. DINKINS, Editor. LOWER TAXES. The speech of Hon. James E. Tin dal before the Clarendon Agricultural Society on the 29th of January, pub lished in this paper to-day, merits reading and thought and study, by the farmers and taxpayers generally of the County. Mr. Tindal first ex plains the object of what is known as the "Farmers' Movement." It is two fold he claims. The first is to en lighten each other (the farmers) "by discussion and friendly intercourse, upon matters which concern them farmers; secondly, the consideration of all public measures which affect them as citizens." The subject of taxation, Mr. Tindal holds, comes with in the province of the "farmers' move ment" for discussion; he argues "they are bound to the soil, and hence they suffer most from unwise measures" * * * *. The State levy of 4 1-2 mills, Mr. Tindal thinks, can be re duced in time by reducing the rate of interest on the public debtjby reduc ing the cost of the lunatic asylum, and increasing the income of the pen itentiary. Mr. Tindal's views in this respect accord with the expressed opinion of Ex-Gov. Hagood publish in this paper not long since. The Tams agrees with Mr. Tindal that the administration of the county govern ment is too costly and will heartily join him in effecting many of the re 'forms he proposes. One of the means to this end, advocated by Mr. Tinda 1, that the tax levy be sufficient to pay cash for the county work, has ibeen urged upon our legislators time and again, in the editorial columns of the Tms. Mr. Tindal is right in what he says about the constable work of the Trial Justice at Manning. The amount, whether great or small, should be fixed, and then provision made for its annual payment. We do not see, .however, any way by which this ex pense can with safety be made less, except it be in reducing the number .of Trial Justices. Men of capacity, and good men only, should fill these positions, and if the office is intended to be remunerative the amount now fxed by law is not by any means too .mucb. This county, it will be remem bered, wasmme~pted from the amend :atory Act divding the work of Trial Justices into defined territories. And we think wisely, for from several coun ties we learn that it has given dissat isfaction. The reasons given by Mr. Tindal for the abolishment of the School Commissioner's office are very good. There can be no doubt but that that office is little more than a sinecure; the small duties required can well be dis charged by the Clerk of the Court, Probate or some otheredieer, with very little expense. These reforms, if ever effected, would materially dim inish the county taxes, ad with the State paying the expense of the Circuit Courts, as proposed by Mr. Tilndal, the administation of the cunty affairs will be cheap to boast THIECOURT. Curiosity always attracts a large .crowd to the opening of the General .Sessions Com-t, and last Monday was no exception to the rule. Indeed the :number of persons in attendance was .considerrbly larger than ordinarily, owing, in a great measure, to the in terest the case of the State vs. Shan non has excited, and which was ex pected to be tried on the first day of the sessions. At the appointed hour Judge Witherspoon with our Solici tor and stenographer entered the Court room, followed by a host of ju rors, litigants, witnesses, friends and curious idlers. Ob thie calling of the jury roll, 15 grand and 30 petit jurors answered to their names. The Grand Jury was organized by the appoint ment of Mr. F. P. Cooper, foreman. The Judge's charge was distinguished fo.z its clearness and fulness. He ex plained at length the important du ties of a Grand Juror, and ended by impressing upon the jury before him Their obligation to discharge the duty they had assumed. The case against Shannon, which was continued from last Court, was first called. Immedi :ately a spat occurred between the op posing lawyers about the day for trial. Wednesday was at last fixed upon. The first case to be tried was the State vs. Charley Williams, continued from last court, charged with selling whiskey without a license. Several of the prosecuting witnesses for the State were unavoidably absent, and Williams, thcugh generally .eiieved to be guilty, was acquitted by the jury for the want of sutlicient proof. During the day the Grand Jury re ported the following bills : *Sam Fleming: larceny of live stock. Robert Conyers: selling whiskey without license. George Humphrey: carrying con cealed weapons and assault with in tent to kill. William Godfrey: housebreaking and larceny. larceny. In this case Riley Wilson and Ervin Green were chaoged also, but "no bill,' was returned against them. John Butler was tried for robbery, assault with intent to kill and an as sault with intent to ravish, all of which, his protestations tothe con tra ry, the jury declared him guilty of. Sail, Fleming plead guilty and was sentenced to the penitentiary for one year and to pay a fine of $5.00. TVElAY MORNING. John Butler was brought up for sentence. The Court gave him a stern lecture and sent bin to the penitentia rv for ten years to labor hard. John fared better than his associates, the two Connors, in his crime, who re ceived a sentence, one year ago, of 20 years. George Humphrey was tried and convicted of carrying concealed wea pons. His sentence was nine months in the penitentiary. The Grand Jury in the morning rendered a "true bill" against J. T. Carr for Drocuring money under false pretenses. This was the last bill for their consideration. At this stage Joseph F. Rhame, Esq., called the at tention of the Court to the condition of the Court House, which, he said, was totally unprovided with necessa rv conveniences for the members of the Bar and other officers of the Court. The Judge said he recognized this fact which w. as a great hinlerance to the aitinistration of the business < f the Court, and told the Grand Jury, the duty of the County Commission ers to supply the Court room with furniture, and suggested that they might act in the premises as they thought the circumstances required. Wesley Green was convicted of bur glary and larceny with a recommend ation to merev. Phillip Brunson was convicted of housebreaking and larceny and sent to the penitentiary for 2 years at hard labor. Wesley Green received a sentence of 5 years at hard labor in the peni tentiary. Robt Convers was convicted of sell ing whiskey without license, not sen tenced yet. When the case of Carr was called, an argument on the indictment result ed in its being quashed and Carr dis charged. Spann Davis was tried and acquit ted of arson. The Farmes' Movemeant, Suggestions for the Reduction of State and County Expenses. Speech <f the lion. James E. Tindal be fore the Clarendon Farmers' Club. The County Agricultural Society met on Saturday, January 29th. Mr. Tindal called it to order and spoke in substance as follows: This, gentlemen, is our annual meeting, set apart by the constitution for the election of officers. It has been nearly two years since the irst steps were taken to have somec association of the farmers of this county. A meeting was called and elected delegates to Summer meeting at Bennettsville and in. structed their delegates to prepare a consti tution for a permanent association. At the next meeting after the delegates reported from the .Bennettsville meeting our present society was organized, and last year earnest efforts were made to induce the farmiers in every community to form clubs, which they did. The object cf this association is to en lighten each othcr try discussion and friend ly intercourse, upon matters which concern us as farmers and as citizens. This includes interchange of views upon agricultural ineth ods and practices, upon public measures which affect our interests and upon whatever will conduce to enlightened citizenship among our people. Farmers are under the same obligations as all other citizens in this free country to understand their public du ties and responsibilities. And as they form so large a part of the population, it is of great value to the general good. and of prime necessity to them to have enlightened views and proper regard for their interests. They are bound to the soil, and cannot afford more taxes fhar are absolutely essential, nor can they afford less taxes than is sufficient for good government. They are. therefore, the most conservative of the popueation, and often slower to advance than their true in terests demands. The subject most discussed with us last year, was the necessity of agricultural educa ion, and the importance of reducing the burdens of the government, where that may be doue without injury. These matters were discussed throughout the State. In our county we did not hope to see much reduc tion in the expenses of the State government but we did thmuk that the county govern ment could be changed to great advantage. Our people also endorsed the view, that the B~oard of Agriculture should be made larger and more representative, and direct its en ergies to enlighten the people at home, in stead of looking abroad-should spend less money in hand-books and displays and more upon farmers' institutes and upon dif fusing among the people more generally such information of its work in their behalf as would give more general satisfaction. We also believed that as we are brought in com petition with a practically educated world, that the necessity of more practical educa tion was apparent for us. Our convention endorsed, thierefore, the resolution to estab lish experimental farms and an agricultural college. This general awakening of the frrmers to discuss their conaition and wants and to form societies-to eflect a general as sociation-has been called "The Farmers Movement." It is felt that the majority of our farmers are not prospering and while money is four per cent. elsewhere, our rate of interest is ruinous. This is because the farms are not~ skillfully managed and do not yield as they might, For if we show to the world that our fatrmers can and do make money at their Ibusiness, all the capital necessary will go to them and interest will be reduced. hut no handbooks or exhibit of our resources, or tratimes on our soil will bring capital to the farms that can't pay--nor will the most stu pid immigrants come and remain where 200,000 farm laborers produce only 44 00C- ] 000 of farm stuff. The agitation has done more good ihan anything since 1s76. It has awakened thought and directed the best mind of the whole country to the true state of afihirs. There is great earnestness manifested byI every hotly one meets, to look into and scra tinize the "whole machinery of our govern met to see where retrenchment can be p~ro fitably secured. T.he first and most '.ssen- . tial step therefore to secure reform has been taken an d it is only a qjuestion of time when all wise reforms will come. The projectors may not live to see it all accomplished, but 1the State has been naturally benenitted ali ready and in the end will come a general! overhauing of the government and of busi-I ness methods. The State levy this year is mills. This can be further reduced in I tfme by reducing the rate of interest on the pubict ebt byA rnuinge, coten of the lu lttie asVu'n wlien inmates of illai are made to support them.,e'ves there. anid by increasing the income of the penitent a Our couimy government is our chief trouble, but it cai be ianaged. The estimat.' of our C >umissioners se-nt to the S-nator anid Re recentatives, of county expenses for ti is yea, Was nea.Cl zi 1-2 nilis. As we have no raihoad tax. this, is simply enorimous. Sum ter and Williamsburg require only three ills and Clharleston 171-2 m lIs for county pur;o.s. And our co.nty 'ma, beozmie in voIvrd in debt by deicintcies occurring cv ery year.: The deticiency ls-t year, though our tax was 12 3-4 mill-, was $2,500. There is no economv in a less levv than is necessa ry to dtfray the expenses. The deticiency has to be paid. Eonomy consists in redue ing expense. How can it be done? WhLen w !now that uet who build our bridge.; and keep them in repair, mu-t chiarge twice! what the. work is worth because they never know 'when they can get paid nd are fore d to shave their county paper at a heavy discount, the rem edy lies in pay ing cash and to the lowrst bidder. To ac complish this we .-ecur-:d the passage of a bill authorizing the County Comisioners t) borrow money in advance of the tax levy and within Its limits to pay cash for such work. The same unnecessary expense at tenud the support of the poor. The Com issioiers are empowered also to pay cash for their supplies. and I think a considera ble amount can be saved by this measure. 'lhe Trial Justice system needs also a change. We have six Justices, five in the country and one in the town. Those in the countryv receive z10, for State cases and ire linited to $75 for constable work, whi:e the one in town receives S100, and there is n' limit to onslable charges whatever. It is claimed that too great a proportion of tl e work is done by the town jusdee. This ain be remnediel. by liminug each justce to at fixed juristcti -n, and the constable work should be limited in every case. Let it be large or small, whatever is fair, it should be fixed, or else the annual deficiencies so ru inous cannot be stopped. It is just as bad policy for the county to spend more than her income as for an individual. You all know that if a man continues to spend more than he nak-s, he soon becomes a bankrupt. I may as well say that no assault is intend ed upon our town Justice, I cheerfully re commended himi for reappointment, and have been a personal friend and supporter of our sheriff from our school days-but I believe this reform is neccssary all the same. An amendament to the constitution abolish ing the ofice of County Commissioners would leave the Legislature free to form county gove-rnments for the small counties of the State much more economical and more eticient. The present system is well enough for a dense and wealthy population, but is excessivelv burdensome to a poor and sparse popualatiorn like ours. But t'is requires two legislatures &nd a v.>te of the people and will be brought up next session. The School Commissioner might also be abolished for the like reason. The consti tution contrmpla' ei thut the School Commis sioner would be a thoroughly educated and accomplisheul teacher, who could visit the schos and iegulate the teachiag and meth ods of instruction. But practically this is very seldom the case here, and will not be for a quarter of a century. The Comsmis sioner mainly signs pay certificates. which the clerk of court could do as he does other papers for 25 cents each. if the State should run the courts as it ought to be the case, it would greatly lesson the expense and be a less burden on the counties. All court claims passing through the committees on caims in the Legislature would be closely scanned by disinterested people. it was formerly so, As all warrants ire in the name of the State, and every part of the State is equally interested in the pre ervation of law and older, I see no reason why the State should not inn the courts as well as the Asylum, Pennitentiary, or any other State institution. There are many othser places where. it will be found that expenses can be lessened. 'here is no reason why our tax should ex -eed nine or ten mills-and that without a leficienev. Several reform measures besides those entioned have been passed which will na turally reduce county expenses, viz: A Bill reducing the cost of dieting prison ars. A Bill requiring the Penitentiary to send 'r convicts. A Bill requiring only the Treasurers re ort to be published-~reducing the cost of rinting to one-third. Also a generel incorporation act. All these small matters together n:'nke a reat difference in the final cost of the gov rnment to the people. The bill to enlarge and reorganize tl-e Board and Departmsent of Agriculture, en lorsed by your County Convention, and wo State Conventions, was postponed by ;he Senate, but it passed the House without pposition. A bill to establish the experi nental farms for the enlightenment of the armers of the state, passed. This bill con ains a clause requiring the Board of Agri ulture to place th e Legi slature at next ses ion in possession of all important informa tion about Agricultural Colleges. When :he State Hlouse is completed this college ian be built by the appropriations which aow are going for that p~urpose. This summnary I conclude by saying that o greater benefit can come to us than for he farmers to study closely the tax laws of :he State -about which I hope soon to give ny own opinions.
