LAUKKNS. S. <*., Mar.?, 1001. The Anderson Scandal. in a very low words Tub adver tise", said in lasl IsSUO tbut JudgO lienot'H harangue lo tllO Anderson grand jury w.i^ a mistake We also suggested thai the stockade incident in And' i son count \ was an exception and not the rule in South Carolina. It turns out now thai the great 'yellow" jour nals of the North IUI their bhoe'.S with stories ? f untold horrors of a new slav ery in South i arolina. Not columns, whole p gos of sensational ?tuff Is writ ten up ol supposed horrible conditions with pictures of s'uvos in stripes, over seers with blood hounds, snot guns, rilles and other instruments of torture and punishment for tho new system of sluv-ry. 'ihe North American, a Philadelphia paper, leads ail tho rest in this hori Ihlo picturing of stockade conditions In South Carolina. The mat tor has found its way into Congress and Senator Tlilman and Congressman Lutlmor and otlu i sa re h iving t ho hard task of disub sli the public mind of thovill inous mh opresontatlonsof the Statu. Tue Advbktisbk will gladly w'tness a committee Of senators and re presentatives visiting the farms in South Carolina with the view to in vestigate and report the labor condi tions prevai lug on the plantations. We are satisfied as a rub; that the negroes would be found In much more com fortable condition and much happier than the white serfs and laborers of Northern cities like Philadelphia and New York, whence come howling!* at purely imajina y conditions in plan tation life. We feel assured that in the end this gnat sentimental sensa tion will eventuate in a fair report and honorable to the employers of labor on the plantations In South Carolina. It is inconceivable that In the South the negro could bo permitted by his old masters and tin lr eons to share th>) misery which is the fateof the poverty Stricken laborer of the cities of the in hospitable North. N * ?* furiosities of the Comptroller (ion oral's Report. The Comptroller (ienernl's report o( South Carolina for the fiscal year 11)00 IS a curious study if one had time t< note its Idiosyncrasies. Railroad mile age hl I,aureus county is so, jn Suni ter [fill, Orangeburg WO, Lexington [85, Richlnnd 112, Spai'tanhurg 101, York 00 1.aureus standing seventh in the catalogue. Taxes paid fii Laurens on this mi longo $ 11,145,nearly half of which goes to the Mate. The share id* I.au reus county in this tax is not equal to the interest she pays on her railroad bonds. Railroad property in the S ate is valued lor taxation at 25 millions. I be number of acres of real estate not in cities and towns in I.aureus arc 442,805; number of lots in cities, 701, number of buildings in towns, re turned for taxation 821. Value **2,!?17 77-Y One of i he most striking discrepan cies appears In l he number of buildings not in cities and towns; for instance lo Cherokee county the buildings are set down as 2.252, in Chester 701, and Chesterfield, a.-mall county, 4,282, in Clarendon, nnol her small county, U li 15: in Greenwood 720, in Piokens sr>o, in Wiilinmsburg 8,227. These ligures are inexplicable except upon the theory that t be printer or proof reader is at fault. Number of horses 111 I.aureus county ?-'.?Jl'l mules I 800, sheep 87?>, hogs, 4 521, ffold and silver watches 400 pianofortes and organs. 408, dogs 2,;il!? There i- great disparity in the returns of this highly appreciated do mestic animal. I exington, one of the richest eountieo in the state, is set down for 124, Marlboro, the great, cot ton county, keeps her company with ITU. Union is also short on dogs with 7117. Orangobur# keeps up her record and pays her - core on 8,281. Charleston antes up in ill,, nine ol 504 of these failhfti companions.These few ligures. presenting palpable idiosyncrasies as they do. are a striking illustration of the uniformity in taxation as required by our con-til ill ion. *** "Oh, that mino enemy would write a book " s > v.i ?te lob. Admiral Samp son add rossid a letter to Secretary of the Navy Long, in which he advised against tho appointment tootlleo of sea faring men who woe not graduates ol Annapolis. 1 he Admiral assigns as a reason that young men without liberal advantage-, are unfitted for the social duties which as officers, they would be called upon to discharge and particu larly otlieers of the navy ought to be of high cult : s they are called upon to ro pre-ent the country abroad and in the most cultivated circles. The letter was road in congress and Senator Allen, of Nebraska, very properly denounced tho letter and instanced that the young man who is seeking promotion is better bred than tho Admiral himself who had had the advantage of an education at the great, naval academy, Annapolis, at the expense of tho government. There is no qtiosllon that the Admiral deserved the awful rebuke adminis tered by tho Senator whether the Ad miral had come from the humblest walks of life or the primrose path of dalliance and leisure. In tho debate it transpired that Sampson himself was tho son of a poor Irishman and was bred to menial Services in Irs youth. Such men as Son itor Allen will see to it, we trust, not wit hstands g trusts and pluto cracy in this country that the poor boy shall have an equal chance with the wealthiest stripling. "Honor and shame from no condition rise, Act. well your part, there all the honor lies." Anyone well acquainted with history will readdy recall that some of tho most accomplished men and Women,the most elegant in their manners and most winning in address have come from the Blum3 and whose origin and birth could not bO traced. There are as many clowns and awkward rustics in man ners born among the aristocracy as reared among the p'alnest people. Sampson will have tod stroya hundred navies of the enemy before ho can be excused for his absurd and foolish lettor. * * M The Cubans have made a Constitu tion and forwarded it to .McKinley.
