TURN AND NOW.
The Greenville News in a recent
issue did good service by looking up
the reports of the comptroller gen
eral and instituting some interesting
comparisons.
It would be profitable if we as a
people could stop occasionally in the
mad rush of so-called progress and
reflect on whence we came and whith
er we are tending. Not every change
is progress. Progress; though the
etymology of the word would scarcely
allow it, may be made in one of two
directions—either forward or back
ward, upward or downward.
- It will be remembered that a little
over ten years ago we had something
like a revolution in this state. The
state government at that time was
mainly administered by men distin
guished for talent, probity, and pa
triotic service tendered both in war
and in peace. The General Assem
bly was composed mainly of men who
stood high in the estimation of their
fellow men for honesty, patriotism,
and devotion to U e public interest,
while the state officers were men of
the purest and noblest type of a
noble and illustrious race. The peo
ple were contented and quiet, and
the machinery of government was
running as smoothly and as satis
factorily as it had ever been known to
run. The humblest individual in
the land had his political rights guar-
ranteed and before the law be ttood
on an equality with the proudest
citizen of the state. The road to
preferment was open to all, merit
was recognized and honored, and dis
honesty and political fraud received
rebuke and condemnation.
Under this state of affairs, one man
whose merits had not previously
been conspicuous enough to elevate
him into public notice, suddenly
raised his head and proclaimed war
against the existing state of things.
He professed to have made the most
startling discoveries of extravagance,
hishonesty, and corruption in the
administration of the state govern
ment; he traveled all over the state,
traducing with brazen effrontery the
names of many of the most honored
and trusted men of the state; and by
his bold charges, his artful innuen
does, his withering sarcasm, and
more than all by his constant avowal
of his utter want of personal ambi
tion, of his unselfishness and individ
ual disinterestedness, he succeeded
in raising a great storm of blind
prejudice and passion, of resentment
and indignation. There was hardly
a community that was not thrown
into a tumult of excitement; neigh
bors were arrayed against each other;
life-long friends were alienated; and
there was scarcely a decent limit to
hate and bitter denunciation; while
all the while the prime and sole
agitator constantly avowed that he
was seeking neither office nor emolu
ment—that he wouldn’t degrade his
manhood by accepting an office—that
he was actuated solely by motives of
patriotism and benevolence.
His charges summed up in a few
words were extravagance and corrup
tion, “ring rule,” and general loose
ness and dishonesty on the part of
the state administration, with many
dark hints of specific frauds and
overt rascality. He produced not a
shadow of proof to sustain his
charges, holding, contrary to every
principle of law and reason, that the
burden of proof rested on the assail
ed and not on the assailant. The
code duello hud been abolished and
the men who were slandered had no
other resources than their own con
scious integrity.
His principal demands wore econo
my and honesty, lower taxes, the
abolishment of the South Carolina
College and the Citidel Academy,
which he with biting sarcasm called
“dude factories,” the establishment
of an Agricultural College and many
Vague undefinahie privileges, honors,
and emoluments for the “one-gallus
and wool-bat boys ”
Thu agitator, who declared that he
would not eccept office, became
governor of the state for two terms,
and was then sent to the United
States Senate, where if he live out
his second term, his salaries will
amount in the aggregate to $00,000,
besides perquisites that will probably
amount to many thousand more.
We have no criticism to make of his
conduct in the senate, but the means
he adopted of gutting there must i
ever he dtspicabie In the sight of
honorable men in every age and
clime.
“The old ring” as it was calied,
was broken, and a new ring was
formed, it was boasted, wide, enough
for all the people to stand in. This
ring was pledged to lower taxes, to
fewer offices, to greater economy, to
all the sturdy virtues of honest,
simple-hearted patriotism.
We have hud more than ten years
of this new ring pledged to economy,
honesty, and low taxes, and hero is
the outcome so fur as the money
goes.
The amount of taxes collected in
1888 was $582,611,78; in 1900, $901,-
719.:io.
The receipts from all sources in
1888 were $1,163 218 21; in 1900,
they were $3 253 853 31.
It might be claimed that this great
increase is due to the increase in the
value of taxable property; if so, then
why hasn’t the rate of taxation been
lowered in proportion? The rate
has been actually raised instead of
lowered. We were to have fewer of
fices, yet the number of offices has
been largely increased. We were to
have honesty and economy, yet there
has been a greater number of defal
cations in one department and more
reckless extravagance in all depart
ments of the government than ever
before under white supremacy.
The offices which have always been
necessary are more costly than ever
before. The governor’s office which
in 1888 cost the State $6 697 91, now
costs $10,015 77; the secretary of
State’s office which then cost $3,464 -
20, now costs $4 699.67; and so on
with most of the rest.
These are not pleasant facts and
figures for the bogus reformers of
these days, but they are wholesome
ones as furnishing food for the medi
tations of all quiet and thougbtfuf
citizens
rolNTICUS i'ltOM McMAHAN.
Mr. Me Malian did not do The Led
ger the honor to send it a copy of his
elaborate report, but through the
courtesy of a friend the great incon
venience which would have resulted
from liis friendly oversight, has been
completely forestalled.
The report makes up a pamphlet
of 32 pages of solid typo, ail crystal
lized into three pompous and sweep
ing recommendations:
1. The employment of an expert
superintendendent in each county at
a salary of $1,000 to $1,500 a year.
2. The levy of an additional tax
on property sufficient to raise $200,-
000 to be applied to the free schools.
3. The creation of the position of
assistant state superintendent at a
salary of $1,500 a year.
We are glad to see that the first of
these recommendations has been
overwhelming rejected by the house.
We hope this is an indication that
the other two will share the same
fate.
Mr. McMahan appears to have two
main reasons for demanding the $200-
000. One is because the constitu
tion declares that the General As
sembly shall provide a liberal sys
tem of free schools; the other, be
cause the school districts will not
vote the tax upon themselves.
There are many different opinions
as to what is liberal in this connec
tion. Some think that the one mil
lion of dollars now spent on free
schools is pretty liberal; others who
take such an institution as the
Chicago University as a model, might
think that ten millions would utterly
fail to reach the limit of liberality
contemplated by the constitution.
As regards the second reason, there
are many people democratic enough
to think that the refusal of the dis
tricts to vote the tux is evidence that
they don’t want it, and that if they
don’t want it, the rest of the coun
try has no right to force it upon
them. There are many thought;ul
people who yet believe in local self
government.
Mr. McMahan says: “The wealth
of the State should educate. Mun
contribute money for missions in un-
favore i places. Will ihey object to
their Slate’s contributing money for
education in unfavored placet?”
The parallel is not properly hand
led. Men dc contribute to miHHionn.
but they would seriously object to
being forced to do so; they also con-
tribite largely to education, and
have the same right to object to be
ing forced to do that. Indeed men
would contiibuto much more largely
to education but for the constant
menacing attitude of the State.
“The glory of the departing cen
tury, individualism, was distinctively
its own. The new century will be
characterized by the spirit, of democ
racy. the worship of the divinity of
humanity. ”
In other words individualism, the
glory of the past, must go,—the man
must have no existence but for tbs
State. Just what we have been say
ing is the end and aim of State edu
cation. When Mr. McMahan asserts
that this is the spirit of democracy,
he moans the apirit of communism.
Wt are not piepared to believe
that the legislature now in sesmon
will turn the country over to the
tender mercies of Mr. McMahan and
Johii P. Thomas backed by N. G.
Gonzales. If so, then we exclaim
with l he peerless old Hampton,
“God save the old State!”
A FAILLKE.
The Vesta Mill of Charleston, which
has been operated by negro labor, is
to be moved to Gainesville, Ga./and
operated by white labor. This mill
is owned principally tb y northern
capitalists, and the country has
watched this experiment with negro
labor with a great deal of interest,
because it was to settle the question
of the capability or incapability of
the negro to become an efficient mill
operative. The case has been tried
twice, the second time under the
most expert management to be ob
tained in the south, &ud it is now
decided against him.
The negro can learn the business
quickly and efficiently, but he won’t
pin down to the eleven hours,he won’t
work on Saturday; he must attend
frolics and funerals; he prefers to
work only one or two days in the
week and devote the rest of his time
as his free and festive nature may
suggest; he cares not what interests
are at stake, what capital is invested,
whether the mill make 25 per cent,
or 16se 100 per cent.—and all this
growing out of his easy going indif
ference, is not very encouraging to
the men who have their money staked
on bis efficiency.
This case settles the question of
negro labor in this State for a long
time to come. It is settled to tbe
disparagement of the negro, and of
all the men in the State, he cares for
it the least.

DIED AT SEVENTY-SEVEN.
Thoma* HumplirleH I’ansed Away Yester
day at HU Home Near the City.
Mr. Thomas Humphries died at his
home above Gaffney yesterday morn
ing about half past one o’cloca,
after an illness of about three weeks
with a complication of diseases.
Mr. Humphries was born id Cleve
land county, North Carolina, on the
13th of October, 1823. and was there
fore over seventy-seven years old at
the time of his death. He left Cleve
land county when he was twenty-one
years of age and settled just above
Gaffney, not far from Providence
church, at which place he spent the
remaining years of hij life.
He was married three times and
was the father of nineteen children,
ten of whom are still living. His
first marriage was to a Miss Carrie
Arnold when he was twenty-one years
old Seven children were the fruits
of that marriage. After the death of
his first wife he married Miss Bryant,
daughter of Mr. Joab Bryant, who
lived near Spartanburg Nine chil
dren were born to him by his second
wife. His last wife, who is still
living, was a Miss Littlejohn, and she
is the mother of three children.
Four of the children are living in
Gaffney: Mr. B. K. Humphries, Mrs.
J. A. Carroll, Mr. J . T. Humphries
and Mrs. Millwood.
Mr. Humphries was a Baptist, and
had been a member of Providence
church for about fifty years. He
was a remarkable man in many re
spects, one among which was tbe
reputation he gained, fat and wide, as
a singer. He possessed a wonderful
tenor voice, end, as a vocalist, he
probably bad no equal among the
men oi his time. He taught a sing
ing school for about forty years, and
many of tbe good singers around here
now owe their training to him. His
remains will be buried this morning
at Providence church, of which be
was a member for so long a time.
The bereaved family have the sym
pathy of a large circle of friends, in
which The Ledger heartily joins.

A NEW FAST TRAIN
Whh l*ut on Sunilny, .Junuury ^ < 1 *>. 11)01,
lletwueu Atlanta untl the Rant.
Another fast train to tiie east was
put on the Southern Railway last
Sunday. It is known as the “Atlanta
and New York Express.”
This is an entirely new train and
in no wise effects the present sched
ules of the other trains of the road.
The object wlli be to provide im
proved passenger facilities at the sev
eral points between Atlanta and
Charlotte at which the trains stop,
and at the same time, relieve the
“Washington and Southwestern Lim
ited” of having any express and
coach travel which that train now
handles.
Tiie new trains are No. 34 north
bound and 33 southbound. It leaves
Atlanta daily at twelve-twenty p m.
(12:20 p. m.) Atlanta Time, one
twenty p. m. (1:20 d. m.) Eastern
Time, twenty minutes behind the
Limited. Stops willjbe made at Nor-
cross, Buford, Gainesville. Lula,
Mount Airy, Toccoa, Westminister,
Seneca, Central, Easley, Greenville,
Greers, Spartanburg, Gaffney, Kings
Mountain, Gastonia and Lowell. At
Charlotte, where the train will arrive
at nine-ten (9:10 p. m.), connection
will be made with a through train
from Columbia, Savannah and Flor
ida, which reaches Washington the
next morning at 7 :55 a. m. and New
York at 2:03 p. m.
Southbound, the train leaves New
York at 3:25 p. m., Washington 9:55
p. m. and arrives in Charlotte 8:05
a. m., leaving Charlotte at 8:20 a. m.
The train will stop at the same sta
tions southbound as No 34 north
bound, and will reach Atlanta ut
3:35 p. m., Atlanta time, 4:35 p. in.
Eastern time, which is twenty min
utes ahead of the Limited.
The “Washington and Southwest
ern Limited,” which is to be relieved
of coach travel by the express, will
be made one of the highest class pas
senger trains in the country It will
be a solid train of rullman curs, with
diner attached.
Agents of Southern Railway will
oheer'ully furnish detailed informa
tion relative to this improved ser
vice.
The new trains are now in operation
and are known as Nos 83 and 34.
Number 33 goes south ami passe*
Gaffney at 9:43 a. rn. Number 84
goes north and passes here at 7:43
p. m. The only other trains affected
by the change are the morning and
evening vestibules, which do not stop
here now, as heretofore.
As the vestibules do not stop hero,
the mail will be caught from tiie
crane, and Postmaster Folger asks us
to state that letters for these trains
Nos. 37 and 38, should he in the
postoffice promptly by 10:3U a. m
and 6 p m.
The operating of the two new
trains is a great convenience to the
people of this place and probably
along the whole line; hut it would be
much better if the vestibules would
stop here too especially the south
bound in the morning. Perhaps
that can be brought about later on.
The Southern now runs eight passen
ger trains between Charlotte and At
lanta, besides a large number of
freights, and it seems like a double
track ought to come next Perhaps
that, too, will come some time iu the
near future.
Young Men at Farming,
fj. F. Duggitr in Southern Farm Magazine.)
For one properly qualified to super
intend a large plantation a period of
service us superintendent is the best
means of earning at least a few hun
dred dollars for investment later in
farming operations of his own. The
demand for skilled superintendents
will increase as our farming opera
tions become more diversified. Where
a cheap negro foreman is now sup
posed to supply all the supervision
necessary on many a farm devotud
almost exclusively to cotton, a change
will be found imperative when low
prices for cotton through a series of
years make diversification an abso
lute necessity. Ignorant labor may
profitably grow cotton, but it cannot,
without skilled direction, successfully
conduct the complicated operations
of a diversified farm—the cutting of
bay, the selection and rotation of
crops, tbe handling of machinery and
the care and feeding of live-stock.
Let the intending farmer, if penni
less, work for a time for low wages,
in whatever capacity he may. If, in
time, satisfied of his ability to make
a crop on his own account without go
ing too deepiy in debt,he may begin as
a renter on a surprisingly small capi
tal. In this case he should t-ecure a
lease running for several years, and
if possible include the privilege (4
renewal or of purchase at the expira
tion of his original term. He must
beware of beginning operations on
too large a scale, and must make pur-
chast-s of expensive machinery with
tiie utmost caution
