LAU11KNS,S.C., Mar. 0, 1888. A Short Step In Tho lt i ?rh I l>? eeel lon. Thc News & Courier ts in favor of postponing tho nomination ol'state officers until nearer tho time for thc election. This is well, but ITO regret that our contemporary om ited to fa vor a canvasser tho Slate ?tl thc meantime. This is tito most important matter that will come before tho peoplo of tins state darin:.: tho present cam paign. There caa be no intelligent exercise of the elective franchise, without a discussion ol'the questions in which tho people us a whole are in terested. Let there bo light. It is universally admitted that lhere is a want of stability--a groping in thc dark--on tho part of oar lawma kers. Wc ?CO Hie tate adopting one course to-day, au 1 to-morrow another. We undertake a stupendous cana', spend millions on it. and then give tho whole thi ig away to a corporation and promise to help finish it for them. This irresoluto and wavering spirit runs through Hie whole course of re cent legislation, and may 1)0 traced directly lo '.l's falluro to discus.-; issues. The fad H. it ls a matter of impossibility lo define tile pol icy of this state oh almost any question. As an instance, take thc convicts. Ker rt time, they tiro lot ott! indiscriminately, Ilion confino I in thc penitentiary. The only po ssible mode of ascer taining our stnto policy is from tho work of thc legi I ala rcs, and this is so changeable and varie 1 each year, that weare at last in darkness, instead of looking to tho lawmakers, they should look to tue people, and carry ont the will of tho people. From training aa well as deliberate choice, we accept constitutional de mocracy as tho most perfect system ol government, and as more (-(inducive to the exorcise, of liberty and the pro gress of civilisation. The corner stone of democracy is Mic sovereign ty of thc people. I! is. un 1er our sy s tem, Hie prerogative of tho peoplo to direct the stale through their repre sentative t and not tho representa tives themselves. Hence, discussion is an attribute of democracy, Again ; under our system of gov ernment, by which Ibo people rule, safety and a healthy state of politice is dependant upon a full appreciation and a free exercise of this sovereignty which is reposed in t::0 people. Nc man appreciate-, thc duties of Citizen? ship, who refuses orneglc its to inform himself on political questions. When a ballot is deposited, it should express more than personal friendship or con. fidence in him whose name it beats. It should ca; rv Hie convictions of the voter on questions of stale polity. '* While we believe that tho VOX J>Ojt ul? should be obeyed, we cannot ad mit that each individual citizen is exp iable of forming correct idea-, on po litical questions. While tho people as a wdtolo may always be trusted, each is not competent to legi date, and for this reas ?:), enlightenment and a discussion, Borve to cducatoand pre pare men for the right, performance ol their (latios ns oitizens. It is generally supposed that tho legislature represents thc sentiment of the state, but without specifying any measures, we deny the right to draw such aconoluslon. it is true, in many counties certain issues wore dis? cussed, and the mon elected may be considered as representing their im mediate constituents, but those issues were not discussed in other counties, and hence tho sentiment of the other counties is not known and probably not formed. Hero, an has boen before expressed in those Columns, is tho source whonoo Hows that pernicious practice-local legislation. < )ur legislatures arc last losing sight ol' t i< fact that they are to make laws for South Carolina. They aro degenerating Into mero con men tions to frahie by-laws for tho coun ties, and tho only remedy ls tobring tho issues fairly and squarly before Hie voters in a preliminary.canvass, 60 that thc election of officers may be indeed thc voice of thc people. What is tli# sentiment of this state on tho subject of n separata Agi ?cul tural College ! We defy any man to answer. Tho bist legi..)rituro was op posed to it, and wc believe tho poople will bo when the matter is fully and fairly discussed ; but, tho action of the legislature did not, we submit, ox press anything moro than tho individ ual views of tlie members. Lok tim discussion come, nnd tho state will liavo a purpose and accomplis!? it. Wc have had dilatory and cxperimcn tal legislation enough. Tho Lotter ol' Capt. Norris. "Mosrs niv servant is deni. " ,:. ?Thon Joshua eoiuuutudcd tho ollloorsof itu? people." Since tho political suicide ol'('apt. P.. 15. Tillman, wc have eagerly watch ed and waited for his successor to arise, and on the morning ol' tho 28th ot' February tho head of tho new leader was uncovered. Cant. 1). K. Norris, of Hickory Flat is thc man. Wc know nothing of Capt. Norris, except that he is reputed to ho a suc cessful fanner of Anderson county. His efforts to revive thc "separate col leg"" business, makes him tito succes sor of Capt. Tillman, for this was ctn phatically, as heofton expressed it Hie soul ?d'Iiis agitation. So far as wo can soc, there is no cause for alarm ia this letter. Ir. ma ny respects it is similar to previous newspaper article-, but the uncalled for dennnciations ?rc happily omitted. 1 Capt. Noiris is in earnest in thc matter and wants an agricultural college sepa, rate and distinct. While we differ from him, wo trust ho will allow an honest an honest difference of opinion. How ever that may he, wo propose to discuss theso and other matter:;, giving our own ideas of ri {ht. In tho first place, Capt. Norris .starts out by referring lo lite interest mani* Tested in thc conventions held last your in Celina:'ia. Ile attributes this interest to a desire for a separate and and distinct agricultural college. >Ia;~-t hore, in oar judgment, ho scores his first error. Thcro is no doubt of iti tercsl man i fest cd in those conventions. Tiley carno al a tims when the stale tax ! tore heavily upon the people. They held OUI I lie alluring promise of reduction. Reduce taxat ion, was the slogan, cut down expenses ; give tho people relief ! THE AUVKKTISUU be lieved at the tinto t hat ' his great tutor* est was gained undera false pretense. Wc believed, and expressed the be lief, that tho purposes and aims of Mr. Tilintan, when carried ont would in crease, rather than decrease thc ex penses ol'the state. Now. since the j ; whole thing has simmered down to the j one demand foran agricultural college j on thc pinn of tho Mississippi school, i coaling hundreds of thousands ol'dui- I . lars, and the advocates ol'the meas-1 ure havo failed most signally to show the truth of thc ch.im that such a school is possible in this'state without a fearful increase of taxation, many of thc go ni und truest of mr people .vho wore red hot for Tillman l ave now i lost much of their /.eal. Many honestly believed that some ?reduction was thc purpose, bul those i who now see a show for stich a claim, I are few and far between and como with an axe lo grind. We looked this 'matter squarely in ; i tile face from tho first, havingY.o.lavors . lo ask, no Interest,' except snell as. , all citizens bear in common ; and must .stand or fall, as wc have judged this ! matter. I From an oconomic standpoint, Mr. 1 Tillman's greatest blunder is apparent. For every dollar ho proposes to cul oh*, ten is asked to bo added when his plans aro carried out. No sound reasoning eau make it otherwise. Rut, no harm caa result, from a fair discussion of such measures, and it is right for them to be discussed by citi zens ol'every class and profession. New Dress. Thc ('reenvide News, in its new i form is as Clear, brigid., and newsy, as I papers got to be,and while its horizon has broadened BO aa to take il] the wholo of the Piedmont section, wo notice tho old ring of its editorials. THE A?VEU? TisEii lias differed from the News, but it strikes above tho belt, and gives good blows, and we have nothing but good wishes for the paper. May it Hind tho encouragement such ail en terprise so richi}' merits. it does credit to tho city. Thc Augusta Kvening News, which is always brim full of trenchant, editor ial, paragraphe I :s -iver lead wit:? inte rest in this oillce, audits now suit is altogether becoming. There can bo no mistake of the fact that the cheap rates on railroads arc driving many of th o'h a If-frozen citizens of the blizz.ird-be.iten North-west, to the moro .salubrious climate of the Southern states. They are coming, and in droves'. The town or tho county that has read tho handwriting aright, will put forth strenuous efforts' lo eatohi't3 8haro of this increase. When new sc Hers come into any community, they add to the value of every Industry and if we would have Laurens to hold her own in thc great march of progress and development, wc must advertise lier advantages abroad at once. It has long ago been firmly ostab Habed, that those men who have mndc fortunes in mercnntilo pursuits or in cess in niuo out often cuses by Judie ions newspaper advertising. The millionurics of the world acknowledge this. Justus advertising is n part of I every successful business, so il is es sential to the success und growth of every community. A gentleman said to TIIJ? ADVKIITI SKI;, n few days ago ! "I liked your remarks on working convicts OU the highways, but you did not go far enough. We should have, them also on thc streams. We accept this suggestion ; il is good. Besides the value of clearing thc streams from a sanitary point of view, thc actual^oxperimonta in this county with convict labor establishes the pecuiary value in opening up corn lands. Highways and creeks just lit convicts : no doubt of lt. It is hoped our Agricultural De partment? li lake a big slice of thc Augusta Exposition.
