WEDNESDAY, MAY, 27, 1885.
HIKING.
Tho Messsnorr is rising in thu estimation
of tho Medium. At first nothing
that wo said to or about our neighbor
obtained any recognition from him.
Ho silontly ignored us. After the rail
rond discussion began, he began to lake
gome notice of us, and acknowledged
our existence. Last wci-k his editorial
page was devoted to the Mf.skf.noeu.
Truly wo are rising ! And tlie Medium
had actually to adopt our style of argument.
We havo suggested heretofore
that tho rail road be putin the hands of
tr - editors of the J*rextt and Manner
nnd Medium. Last week the Medium
suggests that the contract for building
the road be lot to the Mkkhenokk.
Neighbor, you ought to give us credit
for the wit you borrowed. We are perfectly
willing to lend to j'oii, for you afe
bo devoid of argument to sustain your
position, that you need help, lint we
insist that you shall he accurate and correct
in your statements.
The Medium says: "The Meskknokr
will do the work for $7fi,000. Kirk for
$1'K),000, and Schofiold for 228,(XX)."
That is not true, the Mkshrnuku never
offered to do the work at any price. It
c.m't be bothered with a small thing like
a rnil road, it has got its hands full trying
to keep the Medium and the Press
tnnl linn ner straight.
Hut in earnest the Medium was not
fair and ongenuous in its argument.
The estimates of Kirk and Schofield
linth 1 n II /I O Kw^oino" inrl
l>?u IIV.-OII1II&,
noither of which tiro included in our estimate
! That estimate wns made upon
tho experience of the A. & K. Ilond and
Medium cannot refute it
No, no, friend, you can't inveigle us
into a rail road contract and divert us
from our legitimate business. We are
here to stay.
"QUALIFIED VOTERS."
The Pr_?ss and Banner takes the position
that only those voters registered
by the Town Council previous to this
time oan vote at the election.
It is our opinion that the Municipal
registration has nothing to do with this
election, that only the State registration
a? r? * -----
curti ucaie xs necessary to be exhibited,
to entitle a voter to vote. The act of
1882, amendatory of the town charter
provides the qualifications of n.^e a;?d
residence that shall entitle a person to
vote for Jntendanl and Wardern*.
And throughout the registration portion
and it speaks of elections for '-Intondant
Wardens," which it calls Municipal
Elections. It provides for tho following
form of certificate of Registration,
"The bearer is a qualified voter of the
town of Abbeville and is years of
age and entitled to vote in the Municipal
election of said town." Now, the
Act speaks of tho Municipal elections
entirely. They are elections for Intendant
and Wardens. And the ''special
elections" quot d by the J*rats and
Banner are those ordered to fill vacan/.!??
-m _ r t .
.mo in tuu tmiutJH ui jnicnuani or Wardens.
The election to bo hold on Friday
is in no sense of the word a municipal
election. But is a special election
provided for by a special act of the
Legislature-?and the only qualifications
necessary are those necessary to a vote
at a State election.
Don't let us hnve any technical points
about this matter. Let us have a full
free and fair election. Let everybody
who is of age and qualified under the
State laws cast his vote. We want a
full frank expression of the public sentiment
on this question. Therefore
don't try to shut off anybody. We
don't how it will affect this election on?way
or the other, but we think this is
the proper policy to pursue.
AIjIj AllO A 111 >!
The issue is made up; the battle has
been fought: the argument made, an<l
u remains now with our people to say i?
we shall vote the subscription to the
C. C. G. & C. Ilailroad. The arguments
for and against the vote have l?een fully
presented and our citizens are in position
to decide for themselves calmly and
deliberately what course th?;y will pursue.
Whether we will take Hie chances
that aro held out to us and which if we
f/iil to realize can do us no harm. Or
whether wo will thrust back the hand
held out to aid nr.d consign our town and
all its interest to slo-* and inevitable decay.
The conditions thrown around
these bonds tnnko the town perfectly
safe in vntin?* 'ft < ? .
_ a ...vui. * nvii'iuru HHTC I*
no dnngor. And who dare deny llm.
there is hope ? What poKsihle objuction
havo you to voting them V KnpP<?ho
you do not believe anything will
ctuno of it ? You may Lu iiiulaken,
and ainco no harm can come ?>f it wh\

- prudence, progress and enterprise combine
to urge us to vote these bonds.
Friday is the fateful day for Abbovilte.

her life is bound in shallows and in
miseries.
So friends, got aboard the C. C. G. &
G. 11. liy. Givo tho old town the benetiit
of tho doubt. Let us all work together
for tho benefit of ourselves, our
friends, our posterity.
THAT OPINION.
We presume that tho Pretts fintl Gunner
will present to its readers to-day,
I the dissRHtiny opinion of Associate Justice
McGowun in tho case of Chnmbleo
vs. Tribble. l ow let it be understood
that this is not the law. It requires concurrence
of a majority of the Court to
decide a question. Chief justice Simp
son anil Associate <1 ustice Alclvcr concur
in opposition to the views of Judge
McGownn. Therefore, however much
respect the opinion of Judge McGowan
may deserve, it is not the law of the
case and no amount of head lines cau
make it so.
"BYKON."
The Medium saj's, "Lot "Byron"
come out over his own signature, and
show his identity. We promise not to
get inad at anything he says, but will
promise the people to lift him out his
boots in a neat and complete manner."
To most people it will occur that "Byron"
has already performed that feat for
the Medium. AVe suggest that if the
Medium don't mind it will produce a
repetition of "English Bards and
Scotch Reviewers." "Byron" "stirred
'em up!''
MOHGAX AGAIN.
Captain Dawson, lost Saturday, addressed
the Blnckville Democratic club,
on the appointment ol J. M. Morgan to
be IT. S. Consul in Australia. After
hearing Captain Dawson, the club by an
almost unanimous vote. ?<lopto?l a resolution
declaring that the explanation
was satisfactory. There was nothing
new in it, and we see no reason to
chunge our opinion that the appointment
should not have been made.
EDITOIlIAIi NOTES.
The great French author and statesman
Victor Hugo is dead. Some of the
greatest works of fiction, of the present
age, notably, "Lcs Miserablcs," and
'Quasi Modo" or the Hunchback ofj
Notre Daine," wtcre from his pen. He I

,, U..1 auvnil >> IIIU ua ail IIIIIUUI, OU I 11 IS
asserted that before death he affirmed
his belief in* God. Ilis vanity was not
less than his ability, and greatly marred
his character. Even the greatest, have
faults.
We have offered the editor of the
Medium a position on onr -force when
we undertake to build the C. C. G. ?fc C.
II. 11. Goodness knows what he will be
fit for except to sit on a stump and carp
at what the balance of us do. We think
we will hire Sehofield in order to givo
our friend an opportunity to continue to
"favor the road1' and oppose it, at the
same time.
We just wnnt to say once for all that
"those questions" have been answered.
The Medium is so well aware of the
truth of those answers as a complete
refutation of his insinuations that he
will not attempt to answer "the answers."
We nover said wo knew how to build
a rail road ! We don't! Anymore than
we know how a paper can be in favor of
*i roau, nnu try Dy every menus in its
power to do font tlie only chance there
is of building it.

Synopsis of ltocent Judicial Decision.
Chainbhi el <il, rr. Trihblt, Trtasur t, et al,
.V?. 1,703.
Certain townships in tho county of Arderson
under an "Act to charter the Savannah
Valley llnilruud Company," approved 12tli
March, IS78, and ofner Acts aincudatory
thercof, voted a subscription to said road.
The avpellaiiis, i einjj landowners und taxp?ycrs
in these townships, refused to pay
their portion of this subscription. They
were published as "deliin|ucnt taxpayers,''
and their lands were advertise*! ?< t?.. u ?m
the auditor uiul treasurer, with u penalty of
15 nor cont.
The appellants applied to the Circuit Judge
(or nil injunction, which w.ts granted temporarily
until the ease could he lu-aI'd on its
own merits. 1 he case was afterwards heard
by the Circuit .lodge, who decreed adversely
to the appellant?, on the groftnd thut the assessment
and levy made upi.n app 1 nV
property, being made to collect t:ixes, he had
no jurisdiction, under Section 2Gtf, (ieneial
Statutes, 1882, which inhibits injuctioik and
all other process issuing from the Courts intended
to stay sucli collections, and having uo
jurisdiction, neit ler the constitutionality ot
the Acts of the Legislature referred toiif?o*?
nor the liability of the conduct of the dofetiicndants
ctiuhl be considered ?r dvli'rmini'd
hv hint, a. d ordered and adjudged that the
ieiii|iory injunction be dissolved and the complaint
be disminHod.
Tiie ; pli iiuifla appealed. The a;>pellunts
deny the constitutionality of the Act of l'iiti
March, 1878, aud the Acts amendatory thereat,
chartering the Savannah Yallcv Mailrnad
C. inimny, alleging that it id a violation o 1
Ac? II, Section 2.1 of the Con t tntion id' Uu
State, in that its till* in defective; they deny
hul the ans amm'tit and levy mad* by the
defendants were for the purpose of collecting
a tax ill tho Section 26tl, General Statute/18-SJ,
and tiny tkny the constitutionality of
snld Section
The Supremo Oonrt decides that inasmuch
as the Circuit dttdge tuuucno rr.lt nx upon the '
constitutionality ol'the Act chartering the
company, tlf question is not before the Court.
The Court can only review such questions ol
law at may be adjudged aud determined
below. 1
The Supreme Court concur* with the Cir- <
euit Judge as to bis ruling on the second <
point, via: that tbe assessment and levy was ,
for the collootion of taxes. Section 268 inhibits
the Courts from stopping the collection 1
of Uses, whether legal or illegal. They may 1
be legal or illegal, dependent upon th? par- i
pose of the collection, whether for s public or ~i
private use; but is either ease it Is a tax Imposed
and collectable until, if illegal, it Is so
sdisdgsd and determined hv proper authority. 1
jpader the oireumsttriees tbe Circuit Judge
k- '/f" * ~ \ >. >.
whs not required to enter into the investigation
of the qustion, whether tho imposed tux
was for a privato purpose, ana therefore
whether legal or illegal.
The Supreme Court concurs with the Circuit
Judge, sustaining tho constitutionnlity
of Section 209. See the State vs. Treasurer,
4 S. C. 520, and the State ve. Gaillard, 11 S.
C.. 309.
Opinion by Simpson, C. J.
Mclvcr, A. J., concurs, because tho constitutionality
of the provisions coutaiucd in
Section 269 of the General Statutes has been
determined by authority to which ho is bound
to yield.
McGowan, A. J., dissents, being of opinion
that the Court should now declarc Section
269 of the General Statutes to be unconstitutional;
or if it is too late to do so, that it
should deulnre that said section was never intended
to apply to a case like this, where the
provision for an alternative remedy against
the State dons not exist; and that tlio decree
should be set aside and the cause remanded to
the Circuit Court to be heard like otherlcases,
only upon the merits involved.

AYER'S PILLS.
A large proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering resnli from derangement
of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
Avon's Cathaktio Fills act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
euro the diseases caused by their derangement,
including Constipation, Indigestion,
Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and a host of other ailments, for all of
which they are a safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
Pills by eminent physicians in regular praotioo,
shows unmistakably the estimation in
whioh they are held by the medical profession.
These Pills are compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from "
calomel or any other injurious ingredient. ^
C A Sufferer from Head%ehe writes t
" Aybb's Piluj are invaluable to me, and ;
aro my constant companion. I have been
a severe sufferer from Headache, and your |
Pills are the only thing I could Iook to
