Washington, where one of them is to
bida modest little dwelling for

lnooe..t and unsophisticated South

of may be preparations to repeat
of'e of the same means, should it
come necessary to keep the law in
existence. Let us hope that none of
our Southern representatives will lay
themselves liable to the suspicion of
having been influenced by improper
motives.
Senator Coke, of Texas, tells us
of the wonderful financial prosperity
ofFrance, and in a very indefinite way
of the vast amount of silver in circu
lation there, so indefinite as to show
that he knows nothing about it. But
he fails to inform us that further
coinage.of silver has been suspended
there and for the entire "Latin
Unioun," so called, consisting of
France, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland,
Greece, and I believe of Roumania
and Servia. If these countries re
garded depreciated silver currency
as such a blessing, would they have
suspended its coinage? Nor does he
inform us that M. Cernuaschi. the
great bi-metalist apostle of France,
is of opinion.that the only means of
keeping gold and silver both in cir
culation is for the United States to
suspend silver coinage until some in
ternational arrangement can be made
as to the ratio the two metals shall
have to each other.
Nor does Senator Coke or either
of the other advocates of silver, refer
at all to the recent correspondence of
our government with those of France,
Great Britain and Germany, showing
the utter hopelessness of coming to
any such international agreement, so
long as we continue the coinage of
silver- at the present ratio. I may
remark too, as to the present re
markable financial prosperity of
France, of which Senator Coke speaks
if3 such glowing terms, that her own
leading financial authorities, such as
Leon Say- and Leroy Beaulieu, are
very far from taking such favorable
view; and that the vast amount of
depreciaed silver currency in the
country s one of the serious difficul
ties she has to overcome.
Senator Brown, of Georgia, of
whom better things might have been
expected, sneers at the anti-silver
agitation as the mark of bondholders
and bankers, and would have TAs be
lieve that they are the parties to be
benefited by the suspension, while
the poor laborer is being deprived of
his special money. But he fails to
explain how the laborer and every
one who works for wages, can be
benen'tted by receiving their wages in
80 cent dollars instead or in dollars
of the full purchasing power of 100
cer.ts, such as the gold dollar and the
paper dollar measured by the gold
standard.
I hope to show further on that
while all classes, except 6f course,
the few "silver kings" will be injured
by the descent from the gold to the
silver standard, that it will be the
laborer, the poor man with his little
savings in the savingb hanks, the
-"breadwinner-" of all classe , bo will
suffer by far the most, and erho has
the greatest interest in the suspen
sion of depreciated coinage.
Senator Brown asks what the
bondholders paid for their bonds, and
refers back to the darkest days of the
war, when United States bonds sold
as low as forty per cent., as if that
had anything to do with the question.
In the first place the present bond
holders are probably in very few in
stances the same who bought their
bonds at these low rates. But even
if they were. that has nothing what
ever to do with the amount they
should be paid. Th1e government
pledged itself to pay tbe holders of
these bonds dollar for dollar, and it
is morally and legally bound to do so.
It has no right to pay the holder of a
$1,000 bond with $800 worth of sil
ver, as it would be doing to pay ofi'
the bondholder with Bland silver
dollars at the present rates. If silver
has depreciated in value since the
bond was issued, the goverilment is
at least morally bound to make good
the difference, as measured by the
standard money of the world. Nor
has the government any right to ask
the bondholder what he paid for his
bond. He may have paid forty per
cent., he may have paid seventy-five
per cent., he may have paid 125 per
cent., as lie would have to to get any
of our 4 and 4} per cent. bonds at
present. But it makes no difference
what he has paid he is entitled to
dollar for dollar in geod sound money
of full valne, and he is entitled to all
of this even if he did buy his bonds
in the dark days of the rebellion,
'when our credit was low and our
bonds worth only forty cents on the
dollar. If Governor Brown invests
in Virgiinia bonds at present rates.
undIer fifty per cent., he will be sure
to claim the full face value of the
Ibond, and the same if he buys up de
preciated railroad bonds. Why then
intimate as he does that our bond
hjolders -are a sort of criminal cYss
not entitled to due consideration and
full pay?' It seems to me that of the
two classes, the bondholder and
banker on the one side and the few
'-silver kings" on the other, who have
grown so suddenly enormously
weahbhy at the expense of the entire
p?ople, the former are much more
entitled to consideration and respect,
and that their s iews on financial
questions are of far greater value.
These gentlemen all insist that the
government and the national banks
do not give silver a fair chanice, and
that the former dloes not execute the
laws. But so far as I can see they
fail to show where any law is violated
or in what respect silver is not given
a fair showing. It seems to me that
the government is . doing all it can
through the nationtal banks to force
silver into circulation, to the great
annoyance and inconvenience of
~those who have to use it. Would it
not be a good idea of these silver
men to demand the payment of their
salaries in silver in order to assist to
that extent in putting their favorite
coip in circulation?.
I remernber that Gen. Grant got
his first news of thfr passage of the
Bland bill in 1878, over President
Hayes' veto, at the United States
Consulate at Naples, and that lie was
highly indignant at it as an outra
geous fraud on the country. Among
other things, he said that were he
then President he would try to find
some means of paying the salary of
every Congressman who voted in
favor of the passage of the bill in
- ~
M. - aR - A- . A. Is -M- VI
silver coin. The friends of silver
might in this way put considerable
silver coin iu circulation. The sala
ries of Congressmen amount to just
about $2,000,000 annually, andithis
additional amount they might assist
the government in putting in circula
tio;, by the passage of a very simple
bill that Congressmen shall be paid
in silver coin. It would be a pretty
severe infliction on the opponents of
silver, but they might put up with it
for a time for the sake of the lesson
to the other side.
In another article I shall endeavor
to show that while the change to a
silver basis would be ruinous to the
business interests of the country gen
erallv, that it would be especially the
poor and the laboring classes who
would suffer most severely.
In the meantime I repeat that I
think it would be a good idea for the
friends of sound and honest money
all over the State to get up petitions
to our Congressional delegation to
use their best efforts in favor of an
early suspension of so dangerous a
law. Such a cause I believe would
not only be gratifying to them, but
would encourage them to continue
energetically in the course we are
informed most of them are going.

COLUMBIA AND THE FREEZE.
A MEETING OF THE COLUMBIA, (DUTCH
FORK,) NEWBERRY AND LAURENS
RAIL-ROAD CORPORATORS
OTHER MATTERS.
CoumbiaOffice of the HERALD AND NEWS, 1
January 19th. 186. J
Columbia has never experienced a
harder freeze than that which she has
just passed through. On Friday eve
ning the 8th instant, a chilling wind
from the north-west caine with such
force as to blow down billboards, fences
and to make man and beast turn into
shelter at an earlier hour than usual; it
continued to grow cold and colder. On
Saturday morning the thermometer at
Jackson'sDrug Store stood at 16; on Sun
day 8; Monday 6; Tuesday 4; Wednes
day 6. Thursday it began to moderate,
Friday was better still, and on Saturday
the freeze was broken by a heavy rain.
Sunday was one of the many charming
days we have here in mid winter. The
oldest inhabitants say that this was the
severest freeze, and lasted longer than
any that has before visited the city. But
the great beauty of our Southern climate
is that these blizzards do not come often,
and wheh they do, they soon pass away.
THE COLUMBIA, NEWBERRY AND LAU
RENS BAILBOAD.
A meeting of the corporators was held
at the Grand Central Hotel, in this city,
on the evening of the 14th instant.
There were present from Richland,
Messrs. John T. Rhett, S. A. Pearce, J.
W. R. Pope, T. T. -Moore, and W. B.
Lowrance. Lexington, Messrs. G. Leap
heart, Isaiah Haltiwanger, G. H. Counts,
Martin Chapin and Dr. Eargie. New
berry, Hon. J. A. Sligh and Messrs. Geo.
S. Mower, H. C. Mosely, L. S. Bowers,
A. G. Wise, and Dr. 0. B. Mayer, Jr.
The following letter was read from
Dr. W. A. Shands, of Laurens :
CLINTON, S. C., January, 13, 1886.
Hon. J. A. Slighb:
I am very sorry that I am unable to
attend the meeting of charter members
of the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens
Railroad. Have been quite unwell for
te past ten days. Our people are en
thused with the new project or railroad.
I hope you will not organize at this
meeting, and adjourn to meet at New
berry C. H. Please write me full par
ticnlars of meeting.
Yours, &c.,
W. A. SxANDs.
A Committee of three, consisting of
Messrs. Mower, McMaster and Sligh,
were appointed to prepare suibscription
lists, to be forwarded to each County
committee. Senator Sligh then moved
that when the meeting adjourns, that
it adjourn to meet at Newberry C. H.,
four (4) weeks from to-day, (which will
be on Thursday, 11th day of February),
when reports from the committees
would be received, and if the necessary
amount had been raised, and an organiza
tion effected. Immediately after the
adjournment, the Lexington corporators
met and decided to call a meeting in the
Fork, at Sinclair, near Bethel or High
Hill Creek Church, on Saturday the 23rd
instant, in the interest of the road, and
invited Senator Sligh to be present, and
address them. Newberry, Lexington
and Prosperity are prepared to move at
once. Laurens never fails, as the comn
pletion~ of one new road during the past
two years, and active work on another
will testify, and it remains for Riehland
and Charleston to say whether the road
shall be built or not. It is an opportu
nity for them to turn the trade of these
counties to Columbia and Charleston,
keeping the business in the State which
Augusta is now bidding for and will get
to a great extent, if the Newberry and
Edgefield Railroad should be completed
and this movement fail for lack of help
from them. The route p)roposed is to
cross Broad River near~ Columbia, an]
then through the heart of Lexington
and Newberry Fork to Prosperity, and
then along the line of the C. & G. R. R.,
to Newberry, giving these points a comn
petitive road, and1( opening up a large
amount of country which is now hemmed
in between Saluda an)d Broad Rivers
wvith no outlet. Let. the ball roll until
the rOadl is built an'd equipped.
Mr. John C. Wilson attended the reg
ular monthly mneetiog of the Regents of
the State Lunatic Asylum on the 13th
and 14th instants.
Mr. J. N. Fowvles, an old Newvberry
man, is often seen with the business
men of our city, and is looking remark
ably wel'.
In giving the sources from which the
State derives her revenue, a&nd where the
money goes, last week I did not men
tion the sixty thousand dollars in labor
and money appropriated for the work on
the Columbia Canal. This labor and
money, if not used for this purpose,
would go into the State Treasury to re
duce the tax levy. It is claimed that
if the convicts were not employed on
the canal, that there would be nothing
for them to do. In reply it can be shown
that with a smaller number of convicts
than is no0w in the penitentiary. The
Superntendent, the year before the
work was begun on the canal, turned
into the State Treasury from the net
earnings of the Penitentiary, forty
thousand dollars. That amount would
reduce the State levy ji of a mill.
I also omitted to state that the $11,508
received from the interest on .Agricultu
ral College stock we..used to pay the ex
penses in part of the South Carolina
Usiiversity and e Clatilin Agricultural
and s titute at Orangeburg,
bein dri~between the two.

County Institutes.

The information which an earnet

worth more to his pupils and his pa

improving the great body of our con

The State Superintendent of Edc

result from these institutes would b
glad to have them held in ever

visitors who saw the workings of th

The Recent Examination of
t Teachers.
2 The examination of teachers in the
r public schools of Newberry County
e for the ensuing year was held last
e week in the School Commissioner's
office. There were a number of ap.
o plicauts, the most of whom succeeded
[- in their efforts to obtain certificates
A enabling them to teach in the public
schools and to draw pay from the
public treasury.
- The questions for examination
- were very much as they have been
for many years. A very liberal per
centage of them are purely "catch
e questions" and do not, in the slight
I est, determine one's competency to
f teach. Some are very excellent ques
e tions, and upon the answers given to
. these, we venture to remark, without
, knowing anything of the method of
y grading adopted by the examining
n officers, was the applicant's ability
or inability to teach made manifest.
e We do not know the gentlemen com
- posing the State Board of Education,
d nor do we even know their names;
' but we must say that either they
have uo experience as practical
t teachers, or they have very little no
i- licitude over their questions for .e
)- examination of teachers.
e There are in all fifty questione.
Here are some of the "catch-qut,
d tions."
IN HISTORY.
1. "Name the battles of the Mexi.
can War won by the army under
. Gen. Taylor; also those won by the
h army under Gen. Scott.
e 2. "Tell what you know of the first
y permanent settlement in Georgia."
d "3. "How many amendments have
e been made to the Constitution of the
:r United States? What is the object
I. of the last amendment ?"
s IN GEOGRAPHY,
1 1. iName the Atlantic States and
it give theii respective capitals."
, 2. "Name the three noted volca
noes of the Mediterranean Sea."
>l 3. "Name the States through which
the meridian of Washington passes."
4- "Throcgh what countries of
South America would the meridian
0 of Charleston pass?"
1- 5. "Name all the countries border
a ing on the Mediterranean Sea."
F. IN ARITHMETIC.
1. "When principal, time and in
rterest are given, how can rate per
dcenlt. be found? Illustrate by an ex
T ample."
d 2. "W hen time, rate per cent. and
.e interest are given, how can the prin.
Scipal be found? Illustrate by an ex
ample."
d 3. "Write out the form of a Promia
t- sory Note for $2,500."
n Now we ask any one who is comt
y petent to judge, to examine into the
r- worth of these questions; and see, if
1- in the most of them, the teacher who
*e has a good memory but little skill
s, to teach may not be enabled to make
hi one hundred per centum on such
questions, while he who makes teach.
t ing a profession and is eminently
e qualified to impart instruction to pua
pils, may not, bor want of an equally
sgood memory, actually fail to answer
3thre-fourths of th~e same questions.
lIt such be true, the examination is
L no test. Which should a teacher
te know, the names of the bat,tles won
-by the U. 8. rorces in the Mexican
>f war, or the causes and results of that
rwar ? Suppose he knows literally
e nothing of the first permanent settle.
e ment in Georgia. May he not pro.
i- pare himself upon that question be.
y fore the class is ready to recite ?
is Does knowing the number of amenid
s. ments added to theConstitution of the
st United States make one the better
e prepared to teach? Are not the ques.
i Itions in geography of the same kind
n as those in history ? But we are
>f most surprised at the questions on
*y arithmetic. Percentage is practi.
it cally of the highest import~ance, yet
- the board gave the questions on this
e subject, all under simple interest and,
. to make matters worse, two of these
i (the first two) are fundamentally thme
. Isame prFoblemr. The othier is so vague
eand indefinite a.s to leave little possi
>bility of any one's missing it.
n If thme State authorities are compe
it tent men and find this to be the best
e that can be done, then we say with.
e ont hesitation that some other tes tis
fgreatly needed.
r Here is a coppy from one of the
e rece~nt examninationm papers:
-. Query.-Whmat plan would ?you
.adopt to secure punctuality?
Answer.-By putting a period at

n The First Communication.
if The first communication for this
department came last week, but too
late to be noticed in that issue. It
lwas a question in mathematical as
- tronomy and connected with the sub
d ject of solar heat. Now, to be con
sistent with our pledge of last week,
"we must decline to publish the prob
lem or the solution, because irrele
