THE AUGUSTA, EDGEFIELD AND
NEWBERRY RAILROAI)
The report of President M itchell
of the condition of the-Augusta, G ib
son and Sandersville Railroad, of
whiel system the Augusta. Edge
field and Newberry Narrow Gauge
is to be a continuation, should give
encouragement to the enterp-ise as
an investment. The road .s now
operating a distance of 51 miles, and
the net earnings for the road for six
months are $11,818.32, and in this
the compensation for carrying the
mail is not included, which is esti
mated at, at least, $200 per month.
President Mitchell in his report
says:
"As the semi-annual interest
charges on $220,000 of 7 per cent.
bonds are ,7,700, and the earnings
over operating expenses for a period
of six months have been $11.818 32,
it is evident that the road is not only
earning more than its fixed charges
on fifty-one miles of roadway, but
that it has earned net during the lat
ter half of its first fiscal year within
a few hundred dollars of the half
yearly interest on $350,000, the
amount of the whole issue of first
mortgage bonds."
This report is encouraging, and
there is no reason why the Augusta,
Edgefield and Newberry should not
pay as well. There can be no finer
country, or none in more need of
railroad facilities than the section
through which it is proposed to run
the A.. E. & N. road.
We learn from the Augusta Chron
h6 cle that the people of Augusta are
-~much interestedI in this connec
tion and will subscribe liberally to
the enterprise. The Chronicle says:
"The completion of this work will be
instantly assured of aid from Ati
gusta, The benefits are numerous
and lucrative." There can be no
doubt that this road will be a good
feeder to Augusta, and the Augusta
people seem to appreciate that fact,
and are not going to let the op)por
tunity slip to secure it. The Chroni
cle says. -"the Narrow Gauge to New
berry via. Edgefield looms up as an
other splendid feeder to this city."
Thle people ot this section would
preter to b)e feeders to the cities
of our own State. but it seems that Co
lutnbia and Charleston care very little
for any further connection with us.
The Midland sprung up but to die.
&mLnow there is talk of the Columbia,
Newberry and Laurens ;we hope it will
not go like the Midland. We are
told that different parties are at the
head of this enterp)rise, and we know
that some of the men who are among
the corporators are thorough goi: g
business men and have taken hold of
it with the intention of success. but
we are afraid Columbia will not give
the enterprise the substantial en
couragement that she ought. and with
out her co-operation the prospect is
not encouraging. But we hope that
we are mistaken.
The Augusta. Edgefield andi New
berry is virtually assured. As was
stated in the HowAL m>! Ni.ws last
week. Mr. G~oodrich has raised about
$60,000 from Edgefield ,and the work
can be commenced at an early day.
President Mitchell is expected to
visit Newberry soon and steps will
then be taken to raise Newh,erry's
geota.
MEASURED) BY BALES OF CO-r
TVON.
Our Jaappa c'orresponident asks
us to estimate the numbher of bales of
cotton it will take to pay the salary
of each State oflicer, averaging the
baies at 42:> poun ds and the p)rice at 8
cents per pound. It he will refer to
ou-- issue of- January 1:3th, oif this yeanr,
he will tinid an itemized statement o1
the expenditures of the State. includt
in g tie salaries of oilicers and their
clerk-s, and incidentals. We have
made the calculation, hiowev< r, and
give the result. At the average sug
gested by oir correspondent, one
bale of cotion will bringt just $3:3.
Thue salary of the Secretary of State,
.Comtroler Gneral, Treasurer. At
torney~ General, andi Superintendent
ofEducation, is in e ach ease $2,100O
per vear. At $33 per bale, it will
take within a fraction of 64 bales to
pay- the yearly salary of each one of'
these. The Giovernor's salary is $8,
500,. and at satmeuprice for cotton hie
will take 100 hales. The Ad julnt
General's salary is only $1,500 and
he thecrefo re requires oily 45 bales.
The two Associ:ate Justices of outr
Sup reame Court. and 8 Circuit Jtudges.
,.eive the sane salary as the Gov
vrnor. and to pay these ten Jus'I-es
will take 1,060 bales. The Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court has a
salary of '4.000. and in order to pay
that it will require 121 hales of the
fleecy staple. All these offlicers have
clerk s and other iLeictital expenses
not included in these estimates. The
Lieutenant Governor has a salary of
$1,000. a:Id to pay that will take a
little over 8) hales. and so we might
To on. but as our friend only wants
teState officials we Stop.
Our correspondent seems to have
a very small opinion of up-country
legislators, or a very exalted opinion
of the power of the low-country.
The up-country hias some able men
in both branches of the General As
semblv,-and they have an influence,
also. But we do not like, in State
matters, to speak ol' -up-countr" and
"low-country." but let us look after
the interests of the whole State. But
it is ;!l for the people of every
countv to See to it that they -cild
rood men to represent them in the
hialls of le-islation. and by good men
I we mean men capable am coIompetent,
and this is election year.
The biggest thing we have seen
yet (nI economy and reform comes
from the Seneca Free Press. That
paper argues that the Clerk of the
Board of County Co:nmissioners is a
useless appendage and should be
abolished and the :200 paid in some
counties for his services saved. Or
says this reformer, "If a clerk has to
meet with the board and record their
actions at every setting, it will cost
something of course, but why not let
one member of the board record
all their transactions and receive s5
extra for his work ?" If none of the
members are competent our cotempo
rary desires that such he considered
ineligible to office. We are in favor
of economy and reform but let us be
gin where it is more needed. The
County Commissioners receive small
enough pay anyway for the duties
and responsibilities attending their
office and they should be allowed a
competent and intelligent clerk and
in order to secure such he will ha. e
to be paid.
The (iestion of Convention or
Primary for nominating caniilates
is being discussed already in some
of the counties. Tihe priiiary plan
has given pretty general satisfaction
in Newberry and it will he contiined.
Ilalft the pleasure o: a campaign
would be lost if the primnaries were
abolished. By thre way, we hear of
a number of candidates for legisla
tive honors mentioned already. The
campaign promises to b)e a lively
one.

"Su.tablo School Houses."
3R. EiTTtRon: At the ha-t meDCg
of the Teacher.' Association I ex
pressed the opinion that the trUIsteS
of each school (istrict are authorized
by law to use part of the school fund
in providng suitable school houses.
The language of the Geceral Statutes,.
that I had ill mind, is as follows:
-SEc. 1012. The B(ards of Tiustcs
shall al-o have atiority, awl it sall he
their duty, to provid(e .tIntable -clhol
houses in their district-, and to make i lie
salme comfortable, payng die regard to
aliy school house already built or It(
procired."
It appears, therefore, that, while
the trustees are not expressly author
ized to use part of the public school
fuud as I have indicated, the author
ity to (10so is clearly inpiied. Lther
wise, the section that I have quoted
would be senseless and meaniless.
Very truly, yours,
GEO. B. CK6111:l11.
[We are pleased to receive the
above communication, as we have
wanted to say a word on the samne
subjeet for some time. Now that a
reasonable construction of tile law
reassures us, we shall throw out a few
hints to those concerned. In a com
munity in which a comfortable school
house is wa, I three parties are to
blame, the patrons, the trustees an(d
the teacher. And of the parties con
cerned, the largest measure of respon
sibility rests upon the teacher. It is
an aditted fact that in somle por
tious of the county the school liotises
are very uncomfortable, ungainly and
unsuitable. Where one finds such a
condition of affairs. one generallv
expects to find old methods an(
meager results. Inl such a com!mu
nity, the patrons, liavingr never en
joyed better opportunities themselves,
can hardly be expected fully to real
ize the needs of reform and be stimu
lated by their own inisfortunts. to
provide for their children al,pliances
which they were denied. The same
may be s.id of the trustees, as they
are patrons of one or more of the
schools in their respective townships.
But the teacher should know his
needs, and will know them it' he is
rogressive; amnl knowing them, it,
should influelCe hiS patroIns to S11))
ply thlem. Q~uite recently we inet
oneC of our! teachlers in town' . anid we
naturally drifted into the subject of'
teach ing. About a year ago~ he took
charge of a school in the contry n.ot
far from town, and has becomne very
fond of tile work, this beingr. if we
remember correctly, his first school.
We spoke of tile subject now under
cosideratiou. He told us that hie
had induced is patrons to give himil
a number of first-rate decsks (we hlave
forgotten theC exact nimnlber) and that
e now also has all the blackboard
surface he waats. Ile admitted that
e did not believe his wants would
have been suppllied if' he h:mi not
urgedi themil upon is patrons.
Teacheris should remember that
they are 1'' leres in a great work, and
that if thler w.ouild have their wants
supplied,. they' must first mallke them
known to those tIpon wh1om they rely
for sujport.
Mr. Cromer said, at the recent
neeting of' the Teaecrs' Assici ation,
hat it would be better to cloise a
school for one term anid use the
unds to erect a suitable house, thaun
o continlue y'ear after year to occ~upy
he same ol eahinl, inl wich the
work mu1.st be necessatrilyv very unsat
sactorv and deCfective. II s0) eX
remie a ilmasure is necessalry, we
eartilyv agrree withl himI. But let the
eacher first try to indu1ce his patrons
o help them!iselves; then. ii tis fails,
eind th1e trustees of their duty in
the matter. One shotuld not rest sat
