POLICE.
While in Charleston last week we
a
accepted an invitation to visit police s
headquarters and we spent an hour S
their with interest. The headquart- 6
t
ers is a model of neatness and every 6
thing is so systematically arranged n
that at a moments notice a company s
of men could be sent out to quell a d
riot. The horses are trained to per
fection, and at the sound of the gong b
a patrol wagon is hitched up and off a
to the post of disturbance in a twink- g
ling. The officials are all couteous (
and they take pleasure in showing ~
visitors through. We made some
' u-..~ries as to the working of the 1:
me ohtangdlfeand we found s
a record surprising to us. The poli
ticians can prate. about home rule as
much as they please, but the metro
politan police system is giving them
more home rule than they ever-had
before; the members of the force are
Charleston citizens and the regula- e
tions will not permit a man on the
force who is not a bonafide voter of ti
the city. Chief Martin is a terror to a
evil-doers and Jim Hogan "don't do I
a thing" but land the light fingered
gentry behind the bars, and from c
\vhat we saw on the records at the ~
station we are convinced that all
cities should have a similar system.
Many people have been led to be
lieve that the present police system in
Charleston is a machine of oppression
and the people there, are praying
for it to be taken away; this we found ~
to beialse, and if a vote were taken ti
by the property holders in that city .

Several members on the ::ity council n
are interested in the liquor traffic, in e

A CORRESPONDENT COMES T(
THAT CONCLUSION.
Poverty is Rapidly Increasing Unde
the Gold Regime-The Tariff is No
the Remedy as Wrecking Panie
Have Occurred Under Both Higl
and Low Tariffs-The Only Reined:
is Monetary Legislation.
The business boom, where is it
I have traveled to-day over the cit
of Providence, up and down, cross
wise huntiLg for it, but was unsuc
cessful. I enquired of the cute-elee
tion Hannacrat prophets; noV on<
could answer. One man was a littli
soiled, but before I got through wit
him he mellowed, concluding his an
swers with this significant remark
.(We were all damned fools." I tolc
him I was glad lie had come to hi
senses, though it was rather a latt
hour. He was a man, a trader, whon
the hard times had cut into deeply
He evidently row realized that thi
Hannacrat organs and orators who s(
vociferously predicted an easy se
quence on the election of 1r. 3c
Kinley had deceived and lied, and h<
was stung badly. It was a hug
swindle to tell the people that th<
son of Canton, if elected, would be
come the son of prosperity, invigor
ating the body politic all through
curing our industrial ills, arrestin(
the downward trend of things, espec
ially benefiting labor by constan
work at a good wage.
I visited large and small stores bu
nowhere found evidens eo tood
It was the ne old story, "dul
se~. When I hinted at the roseati
utterances before the election, an(
asked how it happened that there wa
no betterment, I touched a sore spot
they didn't like to talk. Their look
spake sharper and louder than words
I told them that they laid the egg
and if it had hatched a cocatrici
they must father it.
True the Christmas time had cre
ated some activity, but the holidai
trade is far from normal. People foi
some months have been saving theii
scant ear:dngs for the holidays. Bul
their means are limited; so are theii
purchases. Hence the usual flusl
holiday trade will be lean. Thougt
the season has been mild, thousand,
upon thousands are sitting jupon thE
ragged edge of despair. A paucity
of money will not rush trade.
I called at the office of the Over
seer of the Poor. He said the pres.
sure was much greater than last year,
and if the weather became inclement
the pressure would largely increase,
Sewer and highway work havina
ceased, a large number of laborer,
are unemployed. These the city pro.
poses to provide for with work on thE
parks as a matter of'charity. Seven
or eight hundred will thus be aided
this to keep the wolf from the doors
of these men who are facing grim
poverty.
Similar tales of woe and prospect
ive wrestling with an adverse fate,
caused by unjust and unwholesome
legislation, come from all parts of the
country, a sad commentary on Hanna
crat wickedness and political rascali
ty and venality. This fact stands
out. vividly: Poverty is rapidly in
creasing under the Cieveland-Repub
lican gold regime, and will continue
to increase till we shall have a change
of conditions giving us a truly na~
tional money.
But say the to be ins, wve will right
things by at recasting of the tariff.
During the campaign, this issue was
made subordinate, the election being
made to hinge on gold, because Shy
locks and bankers furrnished funds
plentecusly. Now the Hannnerats
are pushing the tariff and a House
committee are -incubating a bill.
The country in thre past has had a
surfeit of tariff medicine to insignifi
cant advantage. Tihe first tariff act
was passed in 1789; since that timE
there has been an immense amount
of tariff tinkering, the question hay
ing been before Congress some fifty
times or more. At intervals the
schedules were entirely recast, and
between the recastings, there was
much patching. With all the tinker
ing there always was a loose screw
somewhere.
Our monetary system has hereto
fore, and i:, now, an obstacle in the
way of wholesome tariff legislation.
It has been claimed by the protec
tionists that a tariff was necessary for
the success of our industries. Yet
we have had wrecking panics both
under high and low tariffs. Under
the Clay compromise tariff, average
duties 22 per cent, we had the panic
of 1837; under the Walker tariff
average duties 25 per cent, we had
the panic of 1857; under the Morrill
tariff, average duties 48 per cent, we
had the panic of 1873; under the Mc
Kinley tariff, average duties 58 per
cent, we had the panic of 1893; un
der the Wilson tariff. average duties
47 per cent, the panic of '73 contin
ued, with failures and their concomit
ants. Tariffs, therefore, are not the
factors of good times, and the at
tempt to frame one now will give us
another broken staff; liable to fail us
at any moment.
The essential measure to conserve
our industrial interests is not tariff,
but monetary legislation. The gold
standard is a constant menace to our
prosperity, the promoter and prop of
aristocracy tending to make the rici
richer and the poor poorer. To enact
a tariff bill at the present time with
out undoing the mal-administrationi
of the past thirty years would
be an outrage, putting on the statute
book an abomination of desolation, to
prolong the present order of thiuns,
industrial and financeial.'-Williamn

The following article is clipped
1 from the Carolina Teacher's Journal,
and is inserted this week because of
its general applicatian to so many;
BUTTERFLY STUDENTS.
In every school there is a small
floating-attendance of students who
like butterfles, stop to sip A little
while, then float away.
There are various causes for this
some to be pitied-some to be con
denimed, but all unfortunate. Health
breaks down and the student leaves
to recuperate. Parents get in strait.
ened circumstances and they usually
begin to curtail expenses in the very
place where the least d egree of econ
oiv is the last degree of extravag
ance. If the pareut is really in dis
tress it is the Christiau duty of the
teacher to extend help. The teacher
who has never attempted to help a
poor deserving boy through school
has missed one of the sweetest ex
periences of professional life. If you
want a future generation to rise up
and call you blessed, huut up a few
bright children who are thirsty for
an education, but who lack the means
to get it.
There are other butterflies at
school however, besides the poor
and the sickly.
There is the sixteen year old Miss
who has drifted into society and
wants to quit school. She usually
quits after Christmas. In small
towns parents could wisely and prof
itably adopt a rule to permit "socia
bles" only on Friday nights. Job
never tried to manaae a sixteen year
old scoolg cte with matri
1mo-nia1 microbes. Poor 'tb.trerfly girl!
I It is to be hoped that her husband
will manage her better than dithe
poor bedeviled professor.
Then there is the biight boy who
has received a business offer. During
fall, some greedy merchant picks out
your best boy in school and offers
him a job. The boy concludes that
it is more important in life to fill the
pocket than to fill the head. He
quits and in after years repents in
sackeloth and ashes. There is a law
against decoying Your negro laborers
Irom the cotton field, but what can
be done with the merchant who de
coys your best boy from school?
There is one consideration. If the
boy did not have sense and manhood
enough to resist the enticement, he is
not the best boy. He would have
been the best had he stayed.
To reduce the perceutage of but
terfly students teachers should try to
educate pupils and patrons to right
thinking on this line. A private
talk with a scholar will often save
him from the ruinous consequences
of deserting his books. I believe too
it is a good idea to require students
to make a formal application for a
discharge from school. Generally
the scholar folds his tent like the
Arab and silently steals away. A
patron ought to have more respect
for a teacher than to stop his chil
dren without notifying the teacher.
Let us think now and then of the
pretty butterflies who brightened our
class rooms for a few brief months
and then flitted away. Some of them
are our best friends. They realize
their lost opportunities. They speak
regretfully of the vanished past. So
here's lack to them and better luck
to their children.-Henry-S. Hartzog,
IJohnston, S. C.

Taxpayers return what they own
n the first day of January, 1897.
All personal property, must be re
urned this year.
Assessors and taxpayers will enter
be first given name of the taxpayer
2 full, also make a separate return
>r each party for the township the
roperty is in, and where the tax
ayers owns realty, to insert the
ost office as their place of residence,
nd those who only own personal
roperty, to give the party's name
ho owns the land they live on as
heir residence, which aids the tax
ayer as well as the county treasurer
a making the collections and pre
enting errors.
Every male citizen between the
ges of twenty-one and sixty years
n the first day of January, 1897, ex
ept those incapable of earning a
apport from being maimed, or from
ther causes, shall be deemed tax
ble polls. This does not apply to
onfederate soldiers over fifty years
f age.
All the returns that are made after
ae twentieth day of February will
ave a penalty of 50 per cent, added
3ereto, unless out of::the county
uring the time of listing. Not
nowing the time of listing is no ex
se.
The assessing and collecting of
Lxes is all done now in the same
ear, and we have to aggregate the
umber and value of all the horses,
ttle, mules, &c., and their value
at there is in the.county, and have
Lme on file in the Comptroller Gen
ral's office by the thirtieth day of
une each year. And from that
me to the first day of October each
ear the auditor's and treasurer's
uplicate has to be completed and
a abstract of the work in the Comp
roller's office by that time, which
ill show at a glance that the audi
>r has no time to take in returns
r do anything- else much, between
2e first day of March and the first
ay of October each year, but work
r the books and blanks. Therefore
hope that all taxpayers will do me
2e favor of making their returns in
me.
