It's a bad plan to get in debt, and 1 we hope Bamberg county will never . get in,that condition. * * It is strange that the legislature should appropriate $185,000 for the completion of the State House, give the colleges what they asked for, ^ even increasing the appropriation for some, and then refuse the $100,000 for the common schools. It seems to us that the school term * 11 ?1,1 Ix~ th'in nsnal. Ixdis ian win LIC MIl'l tci i/UMki . as they will receive very little, if auything, from the dispensary. From observation we should imagine that the acreage iu South Caroliua this year will be largely increased. Wherever we have been recently we have noticed new lands being cleared up and fields that have laid idle for yearsjprepared for cultivation. Scores of horses and moles have been sold, and it is the! evident intention of our farmers to "make or break" this year. As to whether more cotton will be planted, we can't say, but we sincerely hope Dnring the session of the late legislature Senator S. G. Mayfield, who is so well-known and strongly favorable tc good roads, had passed a measure which makes each school ilistrict i.i the county a road district. L)n petition of two-thirds of the citizens of any one of these districts a ipecial tax levy,'uot to exceed two nills, can be made for the betternent of the local highways, except n the special school district of Dennark, where the levy is made manlatory. Denmark is Senator Mayleld's home district, and we undertand that in*preparing his bill he abmitted it to the other members *? ? ?_: ?tttqc willin(y. if (ot cue aeiegauuji aim Tftto the thing were asked for, to make the levy mandatory in any district ' asked for. Bamberg school district certainlv' needs better roads. Why t . then was not this beneficent tax?a tax that will be paid by every progressive citizen uncomplaininglymade mandatory here ? The Gaffney Ledger, in discus1 sing the action of the Senate appropriating $35,000 for a new dormitory at Winthrop College, says it would be interesting to know how much taxes each one of the thirty odd Senators who voted for the ap propriation pays to the support ot the State government. Our con temporary is right; it would be fa] more interesting we presume thai it imagines, and in a way that woulc not suit the purposes of The Led ger, which seems to have a specia antipathy to Winthrop. For th information of our thirsting con temporary we will state that man; >f the gentlemen who voted for th! ippropriation are large taxpayers among the number being Senator IMayfield, of Bamberg; Manning, o Sumter; and others we cnulu name - . In fact, we know that many mem bersof the Senate are comparative! wealthy.

It may be author ' titively stated that Senator Ma) SE,\; field is not and will not be a cand date for either of these position, Maintaining as he always has a kee r interest in the welfare of his Stai Igfr and people, and insistent in h often expressed views that Carol Sptna's greatness can be augmente and her material prosperity great gi . increased when we secure those gre; evidences of perfect civilizatio ?fc good roads, good schools, and lo |?C taxes, he will advocate on all occ SE-C sions and with all his eloquence tl t furtherance of "these objects.
