THE NEWBERRY FAI We regret exceedin se a Meetin, members who g m e .,th Mechanical OteA u d feel forced to the A on that it was best to have ore County Fairs. It is true. from a business standpoint, it does not appear wise to attempt to keep up an institution that is not self-sus. *aining. There can be no doubt that ort was made by the man and officers to make the last a financial success and even there was a deficit of about $100. e farmers of Newberry County Id endeavor to make some ar ement to keep up - the organiza These annual gatherings are rces of great pleasure and profit iI our people. The great trouble been that so few of our farmers out or take any interest in the ution. We could name certain sectio s of the county from which there here but very few representa tives. This should not be. All our pl should feel interested in the success of the institution. It should not be expected that the stockholders this association should be called 0on every year to make good these ficits, because they receive no more nefit from it than those who have stock. We feel sure they would atisfied to continue the institu n even if it paid expenses. e have no doubt, however, that ajority of the stockholders of resent Association will be of opinion of those who at ded the meeting on last Saturday. that at the next meeting the di tors will be instructed to wind up Association. e believe it would be a good for the County to buy the prop nd continue our annual Fairs er auspices of the County. ere should be any deficit in the nual income let it be paid by the usty. In that way the institution :, uld belong to all the people, and -one would feel and have an in t in its success. Under such an nt we believe that the in ~ould pay expenses, and if - ot the benefit to the County ~epay the little appropriation. not know whether such a plan ~ticable or not. It simply oc ~~our mind that the Fair ought n fact a County institution, ging to the County, run by the ty and for the benefit of the -ty. We simply offer this as a estion. hate very much to see the 6erry Fair die out entirely. DINTINCTION WITHOUt' A 1w DIFFERENCE. *'hile on this subject, we may as ~otice a stajtement the editor of IO,1HEhRALD AND NEWS makes in enting on Mr. Duncan's article. says: "If we understand Mr. Davie, a member of the free trade club, who wn~present at its meeting in Colum bia,\he made the statement that even if absolute free trade were adopted it woul1d only require an additional -tax of 4 mills to raise sufficient reve nlue by direct taxation to mneet the expenses of the government. The .editor of the Observer says he made Iculation, and that by his est>. * "a1e it will take an additional tax of ~ills." tis is misleading, in that it makes ear that Mr. Davie and the Ob *serverihad both simply said they had made a calculation in some indefinite Sway. As to Mr. Davie, this is true; 4he simply said he had made the cal ~ ~culation, but gave no data. But the Observer gave the data. We quote hat we said on this p)oint: The taxable property of the Uni edSta?tes, including all the States sud'territories, is not quite 17 bil lions; requires nearly 300 millions to run t government-that would ,.require about 17 mills. Letting the internal revenne stand as it is (120 millions), and raising the balance by direct taxation. it would require a levy o about 11 mills-as much as we now pay for State and County taxes." We submit that this is altogether different from saving "that he had -made the calculation, and that by his estimate it will take an additional tax of 17 mills." It in the difference betwei n saiyng a thing and p -or.ing it. ~jWe have certainly proved it if our ursare correct; and they are taken m the best possible authority ; viz.. hcensus of 1880, as to the amount ftaxable property, and from the de ~~artmnent reports of 1884, as to the evenues and expenses of the govern t.-..KtebrryObserv.er. It was no intention of ours to mis P d .or misrepresent the statement of H r contemporaLry. Mr. Davie may 'r may not have included the inter ODn revenue in his calculation. In u o- the Observers statement we la of raising the -F ulanr vnent by A is what our conor 'al Course if you let the internaTrv nue stand that will reduce it, and if ii let other sources of revenue stand t will reduce it still lower. But we ill not quarrel about this. We had n on to misrepresent our Spleasure in pla r seks or a For the HERALD AND NEwS. Observer and "Tariff Re form." ged re- I regret exceedingly the irritation ake manifested lv the editor of the Ob Lper server in his last issue, and should )ub- regret it still more, and make haste e to make the ,s o- or<<ble. if I l re- considered that I had done or said irty anything to justi'y it. But I cannot !rry conceive how he can possibly find up- anything in the language used by me to take offense at, and the more es pecially, as he now informs us that he is a -tarifT reformer," which is all Mr. that I have c!aim:ed to be. But if he Ak's is so very sensi:ive and ready to take icle offense. where none is intended or vith thoulht of, he ought to be a little ars. more careful about giving it. I have a as not, and shall not attempt to "ride art- any hobbies over the Observer," and (o if the editor is on the look out for a lent "hobby rider lie may, perhaps, find aun one nearer Lon. the Thus much premnised of a personal sely nature, I shall proceed to answer the It arguments and statements made by u the Observer, in so far as they were tly not answered in my previous article. the In the first place the Observer quite ces- misconceives the meaning of the Oi term "free trade." It does not at suf- all mean no taifrf. Strictly speaking , it may be said to mean no protection, s that is no obstruction to trade by n of protective duties. But well regulated our and fairly adjusted revenue tariff is r on not necessarily an obstruction to an trade at all. On the contrary it may serve rather as a stimulus, in the way that of healthy rivalry. In the general but acceptation of the term. a revenue , a tariff is a "free trade" tariff; and in pro- that sense I am in full sympathy with our "free trade" association, ries, for though I should have preferred hav ing it called a "tariff retorm" associ mave ation. Great Britain is universally n in known as the great -free trade" coun .jet try of the world, and by means of t.in her free trade she has extended her to commerce and manufactures to the ade remotest corners of the earth. Yet for she collects, as I have already shown, nearly one fourth of her government ub revenue from her tariff on imports. its From 1846 to 1860, we had what our lute protectionists are pleased to term our "free trade tariff"; and it was the one most flourishing period in our history. this both of our commerce and manufac turers. Yet even then there were duties on certain articles as high as S:30 per et ut. But it was a very "free ~etrade" taritT compared with what we onow have, when many duties run up of to over 100 per cent. 'he recent tnational convention in Chicago con tsisted of '-free traders" and "tariff ~dreformners,' andl some of thme principal leaders, such as David A. Wells, who luc presided over the convention, are mnembers b)oth of free trade and tariff .n reform leagues. The inconsistency tur~e then and the absurdity of thle samne .han person being ho:hi a tariff reformer ibli- and a free tradler exists only in the e( nmipprehension of the Observer as ad< to the use of the term free trade. If rep- I have committed this absurdity I am tice in wonderful good complanyV, and for :hat the most laudable purpose-the re mce form and reduction of a most unjust s~ it and oppressive system of taxation. umal If such constitutes mec a "hobby ext rider" I am proud of it. In the same ?ar- way, in being a civil service reformer. th I wouldi not abslish the civil service Sin system, hut I would aholish its abuses. m-I would abolish thoroughly and comn aw pletely the iniquitous "spoils" sys sla- tem, and put in its place a civil ser les. vice founded on decency and comn this mon sense, on merit and capacity, the suhas every ohrcivilized govern the ment under the sun, republic or mon lit- archy adopts. IIere, too. I am in de- wonderfully good company, from Mr. >ra- Cleveland down. and am proud of it. lers But as a civil service reformer I am ess- well aware that I can not expect fair treatment from the Observer. An is other of my "hobbies," p)erhmaps. is nal opposition to the continued coinagze he- of silver. 1 consider it an outrage on and a shame to continue thme pur the chase wih public funds of $28.000, 'on- 000 worth of silver ore per~ annum are from a few millions of Colorado and bee Nevada, and to coin it into 80 cent -of dollars to pay lnborer wages. I ini ae sist that the "bread-winner," just as B~ut imch as thme man of wealth, has need of and has the rihlt to be paid ~in money ol the full value. Yet by~ the .ied jcontinued coimnge of depreciated sil of ver dollars. seventeen million "bread 'ro- winners" according to theC last ceni ast sus. are in danger of hiaving their by wages reduced fully one-fifth, by the >ia, forced adopti~on of a silver basis in mt. stead of gold. is It has not been long since I heard on- a~ gentleman of Newherr-I will not ei- name h im-say lhe disliked the very ate name "reformer." Now I am just sed the opposite. I like the name and he Ithe idea it gives, and would have it is applied wherever there are abuses in as our grvernmenit, national. State or municipal. It is no doubt very true that there is much deception in it, Cs- and that many who profess to be re ila- foriners are not sincere. W e are told, for istance, that Saim Ran the as gre. 'ff reforiner. It would be formers to trtis 'v for sincere re 188;3 to put the work o, 'twsi sion made up from the leaders of the various protected interests; and the result of doing so would no doubt be as nugatory as was the work done by that famous commission. If reform ers wish a satisfactory result in any movement, they must trust to do their work, only those who have proved their sincerity, and not such as have only come into the move Inent after seeing how popular it was going to be. We shall doubtless, after a while have many tarift re formers of the Sam Randall kind. I of course remember the remarks of the various gentlemen in the meet ing at Columbia, some of them very crude and some of them: very san guine. caused no doubt by an imper feet understanding of the enormous difliculties they will have to over come. A few, at least, such as Col. MeMaster, have a better understand ing of the subject and are not by any means so sanguine of early success; and do not believ- that absoi ute free trade with direct taxation is either attainable or desirable. More of themn will come to this view as they learn more about the subject. In conclusion. I rill only note that the Observer says that the govern ment expenditure for pensions now amounts to over $100,000,000 per an num. Mr. Manning, Secretary of the Treasury. says they amounted to $56,102.2G7.49 for 1885, and ie esti mates the amount for 18SG at $54, 000,000, and for 1887 at $75,830.200. Perhaps. however, the Observer is better informed. B. 0. 1). MT. TABOR. Christmas has come and gone and perhaps many are ready to make vows for the new year that is (lawn ing upon them. Among the chief attractions in this community were an exhibition of Mt. Tabor school. and the Christmas tree at Piney woods church. The exhi bition on Thursday was well attended. The exercises were opened with prayer by Mr. Jacob Sheely and con sisted of dialogues and recitations in which about eighty students partic ipated; all acquitted themselves well alike to preceptors and students. At Piney woods on Friday a large crowd assembled to witness the beautiful and well ladened Christmas tree. Rev. J.. K. Efird offered an earnest prayer after which he deliv ered a short but npplropriate address to the S unday school i-emnd i n the young .that the gifts from the tree were typiail of the greatest gift to man-the gift of God's only son that through Him we might have life. The presents were distributed and many little boys and girls returr.ed home with gladdened hearts. Senator Sligh is home again and we are glad to see him looking so well. IIe informs us that his ge-n eral health is better than it has been fr years. Mr. J. L. Seasc is suffering with an attack of rheumatism. Mrs. N. il. Wheeler is slowly re covering from a long illness. Mr. and Mrs. Williamn Ilentz of Walton will celebrate their goldlen wedding on the :1st inst. Long may they yet live and enjoy the sweets in an honored old age. T1he new wing to the school build ing at Mt. Tab;or has as if by magice sprung into existence and is nearing completion. A subscription is now being taken to p)ut on a belfry whieb means from the liberality of the sub scribers that erelong the bell will peal forth its clear notes to warn the children of the school hour. The board of trustees has elected Miss Ella Sease as secondl assistant teacher. Miss Ella is a graduate of De WVest College, andl from her ex perieee as a teacher will add to the proiciency of the faculty. Dear reader, we wish you a happy and prosperous new year. L. C.Bi.

We have read with interest Duncan's article in our last we issue on the tariff; also his arl in this issue. We agree Mr. Duncan in many particu. We would like to see tariff refori well as reform in any other del ment that needs reforming. \V not believe that the governtl should collect from its citizens more money than is necessary for expenses of the government wi and economically administered. should not create a large sur But it is ditficult to estimate exa what the necessary expenses of government will be, and it is nc sary to have a certain surplus hand for exigencies. A revenue ficient f r the expenses of the ernment must be raised, and it se to us best to raise a large portio it by the tariff than to increase tax. If we could reduce our taril the protected articles without increase in our tax, we would sa: so. We do not believe absolute free trade would work, as we said we would like to si reduction of the tariff on certain tected articles which are necessa and, if possible, to a basis of tarif revenue only. It seems to us that it would I been better for the organizatio this State, if it has for its of tariff reform. to have worked wi the party, unless it is desire( organize a new party on a free t. basis. There is certainly room reform within the party. The or ization is called the Free Trade of South Carolina, and many o: members are advocates of absc free trade. Our columns are open for any who may desire to discuss subject. HARD ON OUR LEGISLATUE Mr. B. II. Rice, whom we hel is a member of the Legislature I Unior.

In the month of August, of the rear just past, under the management )f the School Commissioner. a teach- F rs institute lasting during two days vas held in the Newberry Female Academy. An effort was made to ;ecure the attendance of every white chool-teacher in the County, with G Dartial success only. During the lar neetings of the two days, papers were ead by a number of practical teach rs and of friends of education. rhese papers treated of the best method of teaching, and, in the opin on of the writer. have been profit- ov ible to all concerned. IDuring the fre ast meeting of the Institute, a Teach County Association was formed, mnd a time and place of meeting at stated intr-rvals were arranged. So par,those meetings have accomplished very little, owing mainly to the very me neleinent weather of the days on He chicb held, but due partly to the in :liffere.ice of many who should allow othirg to keep them away. Now, fter an interval of six months, an >her effort is put forth in the cause, mi he object of which is to aid in suc- otl da .essfully carrying to ultimate com- Jai leteness the plans of the Teacher's ap: nu' Association. Ihis last effort is the ffer to the teachers of a column in I the NEIFIYIt1 HERALD AND NEWS, which is to he devoted to their work. At the request of the publisher and the editor of this paper, I have con- nol sented to undertake the duty of edit P ali ing this department. on Elucation in its broad sense, I be- pal ieve, is the hope of our country. No - class of our citizens has a more re- S sponsible work to do than the teach ers of our youth. No one, therefore, should lightly entertain the notion of up becoming a teacher of youth, an au ch: thority in the world of thought, a Th trainer in the world of mind, an ex- act ample in the world of action. And Th when one has decided to make this an dit his life work, he should spare no iro pains to fit himself for the work. Un- Th der circumstances over which many ho bei of us have no control, many teachers on have had very poor opportunities for r sel equipping themselves ; and, hence, to the need of just such efforts as are in now making in this county to remove _ the deficiencies of many. Believinr in the necessity of work and the immediate action in this mat- wl ter, I accept the duties herein im. aci .an pose1- not because of any peculiar kn fitness for the pl::ce, brt simply and sit sincerely because I want to help im- fs prove the common schools of New- for berry County, and I shall not shirkOi from the duty, when the smallest cal: possibility exists of my doing good in tis matter. To the teachers andI to all friends of education, I address myself, when I ask y-ou to write communications, t ofTer sugrgestions, to do whatever you can to help nu to make this ef fort successful. er: 24t The editor promises mc all the ert space I want, and I promise you all Jai of my lest efTorts. S3o, fellow-work-th ers. come, let us labor together. mm C. W. W~ELCH. Oh be .N ,wBRt.RY C.
