A bill has been or will be intro duced in tho l?gislature, tis we are in fora.ed, to abolish tho office of ?Master for Laurens County. A similar bill of a general nature, to abolish tiiis office in all the Coun ties was very properly defeated, but when it comes to this local leg islation tlie rosull cannot be fore told. Tlie opposition to this office arises irwin two causes. lt ls either through ignorance of the duties of tho Master, or from a desire to throw additional foes and costs in the bands of tho Sheriff and Attor neys. Objections from a desire to benefit the people at large ls im possible, as we propose to show. hi the Inst place, not one cent of the County finnis is paid to the Master. Then the question of be ing a burden on the County must be eliminated. Parties who litigate cases alone pay thisofficor. Let us look at the condition of affairs with out a Muster, ns it was before the office was created, and ?is it will be when it is abolished. In equity cases it frequently requires several days to examine witnesses, then the arguments must be benni ami then a decision roached. Few eases of importance can be disposed of in less than live days. 'Ibis work, in tho absence of n Master, must be dom; either in open Court, or by a Special Referee. If by the Special Referee system, then a lawyer must be chosen, who Axes Iiis own fee, ami an examination of the records in this County will show more fees of from $50 to $100 than lower, While in some cases they rcuched $300. There is no alternative, the lawyer must be employed tn ! lu will have his fee or no work. Now, the law siys to the Master, I must work for $3.00 per day for every day yon bold a reference, and take your own risk in getting your money. On thc other hand, suppose the Judge is required to take bis own testimony. It will be seen at a glance, when we remember that the Circuit Court costs $'?~>Q a (lay, paid too not by litigants but from tlie County fund, thin plan is abso lutely Impracticable Suppose I haven case which requires only two days to take tho testimony, the tax-payers are not Interested in my case, yet they must pay $500 on ac count of it. Mut, says some one, tho Master pets a commission of two per cent, for paying out money. So he does, but this commission is pu Ul to the Sheriff In tho absence of a Master, and what be neill ls that to tho public or tho litigant, whether his money goos to sherill' or Master? Besides tills, it ls Im possible for the Sheriff, with all his other duties, to do tho work re quired In Soiling and making Settle ments. In all this talk about the aboli tion of Hie officoof Muster, we have never yet heard even a faint at tempt at ?tn argument in support of such n position. When this bill posses wo propose to publish (ho records to show tho cost of litiga tion Indore tho oflieo was created along side of the present cost, so that tlie people may see thomotiv Which prompts tlie measure. Since tho legislature luis sus tained tlie o/liee for the State, will they reverso their notion for Hie County1 of LnurenH? We ask Ibo renders of this paper to rend an article which comes from a paper in Mississippi, on tito subject of the Agricultural College.

ES J Wholesale a THE SCH ERIK ( HVSTALIZ INOL Tho suggestion that wo have a grand civic and military gathering at this place in the spring of '88 has mot with general approval by our citizens. A hurried interview with leading citizens last week con vinced us that they will enter into the measure witli all the enthusi asm of men who love their County ami delight to seo lier prosper. of course, as yet, no definite plans have boon arranged, but in asmuch as there will be an encamp ment of the Third Regiment S. <'. Militia, it is Hie universal desire of our people to have the encamp ment nt Laurens. This is the cen tral point, easily reached, with am ple lietel accommodations, and in every way tho favored spot. Be sides, Laurens is anxious to show lo tile world Hie rapid strides she lias made in Hie past few years, and for this reason desires tlie en campment hero. Karly In the spring our Fair Grounds will In? put in good condition, and will nf ? ford a splendid Held for tho display ! of Hu* militia, while tho town will * be regaled in holiday attire to i charm civilians. Lot it come! lt will be both pleasant and j profitable for the people of Lau rens Countv toset apart a few days ; next Summer for a grand social rc j union. With a little ofTort, an at tractive programme can be arrang ed, and an occasion ill'ered for all wiio have once resided in this coun ty to visit tho scenes of early days, and minglo Olice moro w ith friends and relatives. Strangers too can cullie, and see that they are wei .med; that this part of the "Slin South," while yet undeveloped, ; striving to take its proper place in onward march of the "New .South." South Carolina owes a debt to those of ho citizens wlm i. >1 their lives and their all in lier de fense, ami who are now linallie to provide for themselves. Mut, while this is so, it is also true that wc, as a State, arc not in a position to dis charge this obligation fully. Any thing 1 ke a general pension bill would be ruinous. A' best, to pre vale a small sum for thc benefit of really destitute ex-Con federates, is all that could lie asked at this time. 11 is unreasonable to expect a state, having only partially recovered from thc effects of war-a war which swept away tho property of its citizens-to go to work and pen sion two armies. We do not believe that those of the South who fought for thu . >n fedorncy, ask anything from the State, so long a-- they aro able to work. What is demanded mort? urgent ly than pensions is an economical government which takes no more from the people than is absolutely necessary for the administration of public affairs. If legislators can deviso laws which decrease taxa tion in this State, tho Confederate survivors will receive greater bene fit than can bo obtained from a Soldier's Home. The voice of the people, and the demand of the hour is, low taxes! The grentest reduction in taxa tion for the people of this Stale must bc made in Ute County a Ifni rs.

SENSATIONALISM IN THU i? u LP rr. < 'kristian Observer, It was Up lit M ni ne,' wo think, that a preacher,just before nn open air mooting, bin d a uogro to climb a tree, r.rmod with n horn, ami in structed to blow the born whenev er the preacher sb mid call for Ga briel's last trumpet. In tho most exciting part of the discourse, ho asked bis auditors what they wimbi do if Gabriel were then lind there to blow the trumpet of the Inst great day. Immediately tho notes of the born Were benni on the nir, laud hundreds were aroused to tho highest pitch of exeltom. nt. According lo the pupers, tills ex ploit bus been surpassed in Haly. A priest dressed one of bis tis-is tailtS in tho supposed garb of thc devil. And when he was ready for un impression, lie cried out, "He hold thfl devil.' To the Sllpcrstb tiotis glan?es of tho poasontry, the sight presented before them in tho Church was terrible. In the panic Which fol lowed, many women we iv injured by-fright timi ol bet s receiv ed bodily injury in the scramble to I escape. The priest was sent to Jail for Ids folly. lloro WO havo I wo ex I reme case of sensational preaching. In these COSOS, because they aro extreme, we can seo the error and the folly of it with pl ?ii 11 m ss. 111 transcend ing the word ol Clod, the preacher brought Hie message imo contempt. When the real born, or the real boy who Impersonated thu devil, should become known, t hO reaction would dissipate all religious im pressions that could have bren pro duced. And worrie,--would bring Into ridicule the sacred things of1 Hod. Does not sensationalism always tend, in tl grouter or loss degree, In tho sume direction ? God is not so weak thal be luis heed of spurious excitements In order to lead the soul to repontarmo, Beean change the heart when lit? wills.
