The farmer who buys his supplies on a lien pays a rate of interest ranging anywhere from 25 to 100 per cent. per annum for the credit thus obtained. The credit prices are generally the same, * -whether the goods are bought in April or August, and the shorter the time the bigger the rate of interest per annum. Bill Nye discourses in the New Tork World on the tai if'. We reproduce his views on this subject. The article may be found on the first page of this paper. Read it. There is much truth in what he says. Our local cotenporary, the Obsercer, has entered upon its sixth year under Blattering prospects. It is ably edited and we wish it many more years of prosperi ty. We consider its editor one of the best newspaper men in the State. The edi torials are always clear and forcible. Hon. 31. F. Ausel, of Greenville, who has been a member of the Legislature from that county for several years, will not stand for reelection, says the Eater prise and Moutdainecr, but will be a can didate for Solicitor for the Eighth Cir cuit. Mr. W. C. MeGonan. of Abbeville, is also a candidate for the o'ii'e. The campaign in the different counties prom i-es to open early this year. The Ailanta constitution says-that there are thirty million dollars worth ,f the farming lands of Georgia under mort gage, and that the farmers are paying a rate of interest on these mortgages of from 8 to20 per cent. per anuum. A large per cent. of the farms in South Carolina are under mortgages also, and paying an eaually heavy rate of interest. This is why there is no money i., farming. The rate of interest to the farmer is too high in every system of credit open to him. We publish on the outs-ide of t-dis pa per a e1nopsis of several laws passed by the last Legislature. This synopsis was prepared by Senator Black, of York, for the Enquirer, and we think will be found pretty correct and no doubt of in terest to many of our readers. There are so muany new laws by each Legislature, and so many changes in old laws, that it is difficult to keep up with what is the law. We are more and more convinced that we have entirely too much legisla t ion: too much changing of the law and too many new laws. But as long as we have this multiplici tv of law we must inform ourselves and try to keep up and know what the law is as best we can and obey and maintain * i. Ignorance is no excuse for its viola * tion. THE 1IPORTANCE OF~ GOOD TEACHERS. We claim that the advocates of better schools are the truest friends to the chil dren. The influenc for good that a real teacher-one born, not made-exerts is inestimable, while the bad effects of a poor teacher, one who ought rather to follow the plow, are likewise inealcula ble. We do not allow novices to build our,.houses, we do not like for novices to minister to our bodies when not in health, and yet we commit the plastic -minds of our youths, who are to be influ enced for weal or woe, to the person that will take charge of them for the least money. It is morally wr ong, and the responsibility wvili some day be prop erly placed. Ex. There is much truth in the above. The children of every age are to make the men and women, the fathers andl moth ers, of the next generation, and it is a duty we owe posterity to see to it, that we do the best we can for the children. One of the best ways to discharge this duty to the children of our land is to give them good schools, and in order to do this we must have good teachers. The teacher should be a man of character as well as ability to te ach. Character must be built up along with the developbment of the mind and the teacher's example wields a great influence. The office of the teacher is akin to that of the min ister of tl.e Gosi e'. The influence the teacher wields is for all 'time and will last long after he is gone, whether it be for good or evil. How important it is then that lhe should be the best of men. Itris one of the great educational needs -of the present day and time. The fath era sh >uld look more after the. training of their children and see that their in structions is intrusted to the right kind of men and women. THE PUBLIC ROADS To sa that the public roads in the county are in a fearful condition and al most impassable is to expre s it mildly. We do not know that anybody in par ticubir is to blame for this state of ..tlairs. It may be the natural anud nor mail condition of the public roads at this *eason of :he year. We do know, how ever, that it is almost impossible to travel them at this time. We had oc cas1ion a fewv days ago to make a short ti ip in the Country. and we h.td a good horse and a light buggy, and about three miles an hour was all we couldl make, and we are satisfied that this sp)t ed was wor:e for horse and buggy in the pres ent condition of the roads than six or seven miles an hour would have been over good roads, and we know further that it was much worse on us. We otught to have bet ter roads in this county. The faultmay bei.: o-:r system of working them ; or it may be in our want of sys tem:; or it may be that the roads have not been worked at all. lIt would certainly pay every body who has to tra' e any of these roads to be in terested .i having them worked. It would pay ini she saving of vehicles and horses. We think it would be a good idea to utilize some of the convict labor by putting it to work on the public roads. These are more needed than railroads or factories or anything else that we can think of just now. If we could once get all the public roads in good condition, then under the present system, properly carried out, they might be kept up. But the way in which a majority of the public roads is worked now is a waste of time, and, we were about to say, labor, but there is very little labor expended upon them. In the multiplicity of law-making if some of our Solons would alopt some plan to give us good roads future gener ations would rise up to praise them, and many to-day would do likewise. Everybody is interested in this subject of good roads, especially our friends in the country. What the roads need is more and better work. How to get this is the burning question of the hour. TEHE WORK OF ENLARZGING THE i: NIVERSITY. Details of the New Scheme--An Agri cultural and Mechanical Colle;e Plans for the Future. Special to Sews and Courier. CoLUMBIA, January 14.-At the last meeting of the board of trustees of the University, held December 22, the exe cutive committee of the board, consist ing of President McBryde.' chairman; Governor Richardson, E x-Judge Hask ell, and the three Judges of the Supreme Court, were directed to prepare a plan for reorganizing the University, and re port~it to a meeting of the trustees to be subsequently held, together with esti mate= for the impiovement of certain of the University buildings and for the purchase of a farm. The committee met to-day and had a long and important ession. Their conclusions were ascer tained to-night, and will be submitted to the meeting of the trustees called for the night of 31:t. at which time the board of agriculture, State Grange and Agricul tural and Mechanical Society will be in session here. The plan of reorganization adopted by the committee and to be recommended to the board is in all essential particu lars the same as that submitted to the last Legislature with the University bill. If adopted, as it doubtlees will he, it will make the teaching force of the Universi ty consist of about twenty-eight profes sors, assistant professors, instructors and tutors, besides the necessary offi cers for the seven following depart ments: Post-graduate department, col lege of agriculture and the mechanic arts, college of liberal arts and sciences, college of pharmacy, normal school, law school and agricultural experiment sta tion. The committee determined to pur chase, subject to the approval of the board, the old Lamar tract, now owned by George K. Wright, containing S acres of ine level land. and making President McBryde says, a model expe riment farm. The tract touches the cor porate ltmits of the city and is half a uiile from the College, The price to be paid is 03,500, which is very reasonable. lt is proposed to sell a lot on Main street and utilize the proceeds for the improve ment of the farm. Tihe old chapel will be immediately put in repair to accom modate the laboratories and the scien tific staff of the experiment station. The committee resolved to recommend to the trustees the establishment of an infirmary in connection with the Uni versity, where students, upon the pay tent of a small fee, will be provided with medicines, skilled medical attend ance and nursing. For this purpose it is proposed to rent a small house conven ient to the University. The president was directed to push, as rapidly as possible, the repairs and fi proveumen ts contemplated, and the gen eral work of preparation. The scientific staff of the experiment station will be organiz-d as sootn as the Hatch fund of fifteen thousand dollars a year becomes available for the purpose. The secretary of the treasury included this appropriation in the urgent defi ciency bill, but it is stated that Mr. Ran dall will oppose the appropriation on the ground that there is no deficiency. If Mr. Randall prevails the appropria tion may be delayed until April. Other w'ise it will be available in February. As soon as the Hatch fund can be drawn on an imnmedliate possession of the farm can be obtained; the staff will be chosen and work will begin at onc. There are numerous applications for the new positions at the University, but no selections have yet been made. A decided majority of the twenty-six trustees are now farnm:ers. Each depart ment of University will have its special sub-committee of five trustees for the purposes of visiting and supervision. IThere is an abundance of room in the University for all lodgers and classes. Board is ordinarily had at ten dollars a month, but some students pay only twelve for hoard, servants, fuel, lights, &c, t'o lodging being free. Every en deavor will be made to cheapen the cost of living to the students and their mess es will get the agricultural products of the experiment farms at cost. The com mittee have gone over the whole ground and mapped out everything. A Newspaper Company Organized.

He started to bring his prison back to Columbia to the penite tiary yesterday morning, leavii Spartanburg on the accommodatiq train, which is due to arrive here 4.10. He had the prisoner securi by handcuffs on one hand, but lowed him some liberty in the ci which had combination and bagga compartment in one end and passe gers in the other.

He left on his return Spartanburg by the next train, a will doubtless make due efforts recapture the fugitive from justi and secure the reward so unexpecti ly put out of reach when seeminr certain.
