Congressman Aiken, we regret to report,
does not seem to improve very

\YHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
It will not lie disputed, we suppose,
that die people have a right to know
t ,y,hit their representatives did for them

pf several communities, we would
like tp Jcnow who is responsible for the
v many chapgc? yvhich have been made in
our Trial Justices ?
It is currently reported that before
the various nominations were made by
' the Governor and confirmed by the Sennh
, that our entire delegation had a
pelting and acted ^pon the petitions of
the various applicants. We want to
knoy if tjrio is the case. We want to
y know, .sdso, where the delegation found
' a precedent for overriding the wishes of
the voters, ju; ezpressod in their petitions,
and placing men jn office who
never even tpade application? J)id they
know better what men would suit the
/ dear people," than the people themselves?
Suppose the Governor had
feted upon this hypothesis, woujd they
they not have raised a howl against

We are sorrv the Senate, i'? its w isdom,
saw Hi to postpone the consideration
of Mr. Tillman's pot schemes, viz.,
he reorganization of the State Board of
Agriculture, ami the establishment of
an Agricultural College. We believe
we would have had some peafce then,
and think the measures themselves were
entirely unobjectionable. Our Senate
thought otherwise, however, and we
suppose we must still endure the hue
and cry which has made Mr. Tillman so
noted.
If there is one thing move than another
for which he is noted,it is his ability
to "rush into print." Mr. Tillman writes
>? i. i-ii- 1
v.11, iuuv.ii ui nci man lie *juii mm, anu
in all kindness we would advise hiin to
leave oil' his abusew of those who dijler
from him, if he wants his articles to
have propor weight. His latest performance
was the analysis, by profession, of
the vote in the Senate on hi* bill reorganizing
the State Board of Agriculture.
The arraying of class against class never
results in any good. For our State to
be prosperous all interests and all avocations
and professions should advance
hand in hand. This is the happy condition
all should strive for. Brotherly
love should characterize our dealings
ono with another. One class is mo
much better than another, even if they
be the bone and sinew of our land, that
they can decry and villify any other.
We are in full sympathy with the
farmers, and our columns are open to
any and all of them for the discussion
of their interests. No one would be
found more willing to assist them in
this laudable undertaking than ourselves.
But as wo have said before, we
believe a great deal of the good they
would accomplish is nullified by the
class prejudice which their leaders are
disposed to show. Do away with this
feature and our farmers if they continue
their organization, may yet be prosperous
and happy.
The "Jim Cumuiing" Itobbery

one of Witrock's accomplices in the train
robbery, has furnished the local papers
with a written statement of his connection
with the affair. He says therein
that the loss of his position and his inability
to obtain employment forced him
to devise koimi> inesns whereby he might
provide his wife and child with the
necessities of life. To do this he planned
the robbery and approached Witrock
with the scheme. Witrock beenme enthusiastic
over it, and there after took
the affair into his hands, and he (llaightj
heard nothing more of him until be read
.in aixuiiiu oi me rouoery in the papers.
Soon after that Witrock sent hi in

$10,000. "He say it was Witrock who

In a brief interview with Witroclc this
morning that worthy gave a bit of information
not before made public-, which
was to the effect that he stipulated with
the detectives that they must lift the
mortgage upon his mother's house beforo
ho would ''turn upM any of the
stolen money. This, he said, they had
promised to do and added that it was
done when they went out to l^eavenworth,
and thus his chief object in robbing
the express was accomplished. The

of the Christmas of 188(5.

A Iteply to ?*W. E. R."
Editor <>f Mi*tenger\
All article appeared in the Prtus and lianii'r
m v. , ,1! weeks since with this sublime
heading "Acute Sensitiveness." It has been
tlecii'.eil time and again by the "varible, ecceu111c
aii'l Syiioiiive" parties that they would
simply treat the article with silent contempt.
Hut when forbearance ceases to be a virtue
we would like lor the public to know the
facts.
One "\V. E. It." the assumed writer of the
art'eli.'tilings that the School Commissioner
committed a wrong by ordering the public
school tt> be opened in November simply because
his term of otiice was to expire with
the year. Did not the School Commissioner
who preceded Prof. George C. Hodges authorize
the public school to be opened in November
18H4, and his term of oflieu expired with
the year? No one accused that commissioner,
whose term was expiring of injustice to the
incoming official "because the sceptre was
ubout to depart from Israel" or rather the
more modern application would be because
his term of oflice as School Commissioner of i
Abbeville County, State of South Carolina,
United States of America, and not the Uiii
World, was nearly expiree}.
If by opening a school in November would
suit a neighborhood better I think it would be
wrong for the School Commissioner to attempt
to oppose it. Prof. Hodges I know was earnest
and honest in the cause of public education
and it was only b}' the eyes of the dim and
prejudiced that he was accused of wrong and
it cannot be denied that he exerted ail his
energies to promote the mental growth of the
youth of his County. Hid term has e.xpii?:1
uud he rests from his labors, and now \\? ean
exclaim, ' Well done, good and tailhiul si;r-"
vaut.
livery man, no matter what may be his
vocation, has his enemies and persecutors.
The blessed I?ord and Saviour, Jesus Christ
w'lio wa> pure and without guile, had his
accusers ami critics and. (/ft/ crucifitd llim. !
It we fpe-.-k well of a man we are called i
llattorers. if we say nothing men will accus>e
us of bei'wg prejudiced, if we speak ill, men will
conclude at once tliat we are working spite in
the attempt to demolish one's reputation "for
the obnoxious, vile and hollow presumption
of building up our own. Hut thank id bucli
is not permitted. When one imu. seeks to
piaoc another in a false light the fierce white
i av of .1 ustiiv falls full in the face of the
would be accuser; if not at once, it does
eventually.
The newspnper is 11 ? place to exhibit temper,
prejudice and hatred, and the man that is so
bold as to do so discovers his mistake sooner
or later. At present we see no reason why I
"W. E. It." should accuse the teacher of
'Sensitiveness" or hlio.ild attempt to paint
this awful stigma '"variable and eccentric" on
the heart of the patrons, lie should bear in
mind that "a man has cither the good or ili !
qualities he attributes to mankind."
The teacher was out of employment and
applied for the school and desired it lo open
the tirst of November and it was an honest
application WaJ it a sin ( 7) against " W. E.
It. to apply for a school in November, and
cause liiui to lash his pen into fury to vindicate
this sin ( ? )'l
The School Commissioner had legitimately
authorized the schools to wpen in November.
Kip Van Winkle like we wake up now, rub our
sleepy eyes and ask solemnly, "Was l'rof.
George C. llodges School Commissioner the
1st of November IStfti, or tome out tltef"
If the patrons were willing to send school why
should "W. E. It." interfere. We venture
the assertion that if some favorite of *:W. E.
It." had applied for the school no doubt lie
would have lent him his inttnence. Does "W.
E. it." disuutc this'.' When "W. E. It."replied
iy his very able article on "Acute Sensitiveness"
he had reference lo a card which was
published in the i'rtu? and Jlammr shortly
after a petition went to press with this beautiful
and attractive^ V) heading "Teacher or
Children." The card said "they meant no
retlectioii on the teacher." "W. E. It." should
have gone further and mentioned that the card
said also "it was not intended for publication
in the JJr<?s and Jianner." The publication
of the petitiou, pshaw! 1 forgot "protest" was
altogether unnecessary and by all means ]
uncalled for. 1'robably it will be necessary to
say here that the petition was published in

It had twelve sigucrs and ot the twelve only
tour send regularly to school.
The others send some while some do not
send at all, and how they can be considered as
patrons ot the school is what 1 cannot umtcistaud.
May-be "W. fcl. U." cau explain our
dilemma, 'i he query is this; Can a man be I
considered a patron ot a school ivhtn At don't

Why the petition was published in the

patrons don't fully understand yet.
