The contested election case be
tween Mr. Thoebe and Mr. Carlisle
in the House of Representatives was
taken up on Monday, and Mr. Car
lisle was seated by a vote of 164 to i.
Beverly Nash, of Republican fame,
died suddenly at his home in Colum
bia on Thursday, 19th inst. He was
State Senator from Richiand County
for several terms during radical days.
The Cotton Plant. an Agriculturnl
journal published at Greenville. S. C.
by Hoyt & Keys, will be issned twice
a month in the future. The subscrip
tion price is one dollar a year. We
wish the C'ontto Plant success.
The Congressional appropriation
bill has an item of $80,000,000 for
pensions, and with Blair's bill of
$77,000,000 for education, the sur
plus will dwindle very rapidly. After
these two items are paid the $100,
000,000 surplus will be very small
indeed.
The State has oeen very generous
to the city of Columbia. After spend
ing about $200,000 in money and la
bor in the developuent of the Colum
bia Canal. she gt,es that away, and,
in addition. about seventy acres of
land along the canal below Gervais
street and about thirty acres above.
Not only that. she proposes to fur
nish her all the coi.vict labor that
may be unemployed to still do further
work on the canal. And all this
property to be exempt from taxation.
We hope Columbia appreciates
this generosity, and will soon become
a great city.
A t a meeting o f the TaDnany Hall
Democrats in New York. last week,
the following resolution was adopted :
-We believe that the combinations
in trade call:ed -trusts' are pernicious
in their effects, dangerous in their
* power, and oppressive,.of the people
in their creation of me,nopolies. They
destroy competition, raise the price
- of the necessaries of life, and employ
iniquitous methods to accomplish the
establishment of exacting mon opo
lies. The secresy of their move
mnenta is dangerous to the business
community, and the unlimited power
of their managers is hostile to tbe in
stitution~s and liberties of the peo
pie. We call upon the Legislature
to pass stringent laws remedying this
evil."
The '-trusts" will have to go. Tlhe
American people .must be king.
Money hias great power, however,
and, in these great combinations, is
almost invincible.
Mr. E. B. Murray retires from the
Anderson Intellig;ence'- as editor and
is succeeded by M r. C. C. Langston,
who has been local editor. Mr.
Langston will be assisted by Mr. J.
F. Clinkscales. Editor Murray finds
that the duties of the editor are so
exacting that lhe cannot give proper
attention tr> the p)ractice of the law.
The duties of the editor even, of a
weekly newspaper. are so exaeting
that it cannot be made second(ary to
any other work and keep the news
paper abrcast the progress of the
age.
Trhis is an agze in which a man, to
accomplish any success or fame he
must not scatter over many fields of
action, but lie must rather concen
trate his energies in the accomplish
ment of o>ne object in life. The ten
dency of the agze is to make special
ists in every department of business
andl in the p)rofessions as well.
Maj. Murray was a good editor and
his withdrawal is a 1oss to' the
journalism of the State.
We wish the new editors success.
Rev. Sam Small of Georgia. who
has been preachng up in Kansas
City is quoted as delivering himself
th -yi regard to those personis
who some!tt,ime~s go to tile theatre:
--No. I don't think Godl will put you
in hel1 for atoing f to t!:e theater. I
never said it and( Im never going~ to
say it. I am not such a fool. But
if you take the vows of tihe church
and then go. God will put y-ou in hell
for lying. Put that in your pipe and
smoke it. I ne-ver heard anybody
<li)oubt that God wouitld put you in
haol lbfr perjury. I've got the Bible
for it. and~ youat watch out, ben:anse
hell ain't a hllf mile ahead of von."'
TLhis is a question on which there
is a difference of opinion even
-among ministers the mselves. Dr.
Talmage is reported as having visi
ted the performuances of Booth and
Barrett duringz the season and there
are otheCrs who do not see the evil in
the same light as MIr. Small Then
there are others who do. Upon the
whole it is a pretty large question
an i like many others of a simi
ilar nature must be decided by every
man for himnelf.
TE['T% AXD MONOPOLI:S.
We publish this morning som
articles from the New York Herald o
this subject, showing the danger t
the American people from this tea
dency to combination on the part u
capitalist. e .combination is get
erally called a.""trst," and under thi
seductive ti UMe 6on6polists are tr3
ing, by the co niation of capital, t
get control of all the leading it
terests of the country. We have th
"oil trust,' the "whiskey trust," aum
numberless others have sprung up ii
recent years, until they have becom
a standing menace to the citizenshii
of this country.
A writer on this subject says
"Whoever applied the term -trusts
to modern combinations, such as thi
oil monopoly was designed to be
was a shrewd student of human na
tare. He knew that the term wouli
inspire popular confidence in what
ever corporation bore it, because th<
average citizen would accept thi
idea conveyed, and have confidenc
accordingly." President Clevelant
has observed this dangerous tendenc
to combination and monopoly, an
refers to it in his message. He de
flues them as those "which have fo
their object the regulation of the sup
ply and price of commodities nad,
and sold by members of the combi
nation."
The tendency of all corporations i
to combination, and this means th
driving out of competition of smalle
and less powerful enterprises in ever
branch of business and manufac
ture. This is contrary to the funds
mentat principles of our government
This combination we see among rail
roa:s and nearly all manufacturers
Whenever a weak railroad is
built. and the people begin tc
feel that they will not be at the mer
cy of one powerful corporation, thi
big corporation soon swallows up th
lesser and the competition is gone
By this combination these powerfu
moneyed corporations can make
'corne:' in any branch of trade an
regulate the price.
The Herald says -it is a grave an<
knotty problem," and we hope it i!
right when it further says, "but i
can be solved by the common sensi
of the people, for :he people are stil
king and can make the laws whiel
all must obey."
The Herull states further that
big trust is in process of formatior
among the manufacturers of com
mercial fertilizers. If this is success
ful it wili tell directly on the farmer
of this State and the other Souther
States, and the farmers are therefor
directly interested. If such a trus
were to be formiied, and the comparn
could get control of the phosphat
rock othtlis State, commercial fertili
zers would at once advance in pric4
from three to five dollars a ton. Tb<
South Carolina rock is essential t<
the business, says the Herald, abou
450,000 tons being used annually
The land rock in this State is ownet
by private individuals and the rive
rock by the State. The Herald fur
ther states that five of the most pow
erful companies made a futile effor
to get a bill through the last Legisla
ture of this State to get a sgrant o
this rock. The Nerrs and Courie:
denies any~ such effort being made
A statement of the facts as takei
from the records of the Legislatur
may be of interest to The farmers. 2
joint committee of three from th
Senate and five from the House wa
appointed at the session of 1886 t
investigate the status of the Stat
phosphate interest, and report th
samne under the following reSolt
tion :
Reso?red, by the House of Represet
tative~s the Senate concurring, That
joint committe of;three from the Senat4
andi five from the House are hereby ai:
pinted to investigate the status of thi
phosphate interests of the State, wit
power to send for persons and paper
and take testimony uinder oath, andt
matke a report thereon as soon as p)oss
ble, wvith a view to finding out what ir
crease in the royalty, if any, can b
safely imposed on rock belonging to th
State-and that they report what speci:
contracts. if any there be, in referenc
to) mining phxosphate rock an
phosphiatic deposits in the navigab]
streaLms Elf thi- State are out<
the control of the General Assembl2
andl to this end they are hereby autho1
ized and imnpowered to call upon th
At torney General for his construction
any act or contract which they sha
deem necessary to enable them to proj
er1l' con4ider the question submittedt
thenm.
The commiittee was5 compoxsed
Senators Murray, Talhert and Moor<
and R< presentatives Blackwell. Ha
kell, Br:awley. Nahier and W. I
Wilson. .Jr. The report was signe
by all the committee except Messr:
IHaskell and1 Brawley, who from son:
cause did not sign the reotwhe
made.
This committee made a report t
the last Legislature and went furthc
than authorized by the resolution ani
reported a bill to the Legislatur:
The comittee in their report though
there was not system enuhin th
present plan of mining the rock
that a bed would be only partiall;
ex':austed before it would be left an
another territory gone into. and tha
the present industry could not sus
tain an increase in the royalty (whic]
is now one dollar a ton). The com
mitt.ee thought the present system:
loss to the State. and they recom
mnendled the abolition of the systemz
and that the territory be granted fo
nunmber of years to the o~nenr
now engaged in mining. In accord
e ance with this recommendation the
a bill was introduced. This bill pro- L
a vided to grant the Phosphate ter- f
ritory to five powerful companies,
f the Sea Island Chemical Compnny, 1
the Phosphate Mining Company. 1
s Limited, the Co,saw Mining Com
pany, the Oak Poii.t Mines, and the
n Farmer's Phosphate -Company and
such others as these might desire to
e take in with them, to have the ex
I clusive right to mine the phosphate 1
a rocks of this State. They were to t
e pay a royalty to the State of not less t
a than $175,000 annually. The effect e
of this would have been to have h
ariven smaller companies out of the t
' business. The income to the State c
a would possibly have been as large, a
, but the phosphates being controlled b
by a monopoly under this plan, there c
I is no telling the additional cost that ;
would have been incurred by the t
farmer in the advance in the price of p
fertilizers. It would. in effect, have
3 been creating a huge monopoly, which i
I monopoly. acting with the.land con- t
r panies, could have controlled all the 1
I phosphates produced in the United
States. They could have put their f
r own price on the rock wined, and b
- then by a combination with the man- I
e ufacturers of fertiliz.rs, they could t
- have controlled the whole business,
and te farmers who use the fertil- 1
s izers would have been the sufferers,
e and by the passage of this Act the
r State, indirectly, would have been a <
r party to this monopoly. The smaller 4
general rights companies would have ]
been destroyed, and no doubt would t
have lost money, and their occupa-c
tions as well. Of course they might
have found employment under the
"big five," but they would have been t
at their option. Two of these smaller <
companies, the largest of the general
S rights companies, are included in the E
S"big five," but the smaller ones were f
not. During the year 1886 out of the
1 $208,000received by theState as a roy- t
I alty, the general right companies paid 1
I $98,000. The trust that the Herald v
now speaks of as forming, now has I
I control of all the material except the 4
s South Carolina rock and kainit. and 1
t if we can keep the South Carolina <
a rock from them, with cotton seed and
1 stable manure, our farmers can be in- I
1 dependent of this monopoly in fer
tilizers. This bill may not have been f
I intended to create a monopoly. We 1
1 do not say that it was so intended.
But if it had passed, the effect of it<
-would have been to create such at
a monopoly.
1 It is but just to say that it was due
a to the watchfulness and sagacity of
t the Hon. S. Pope, the member from
SNewberry, that tbis bill was killed.
a He saw the effect of it and moved to1
- strike out the enacting woi-ds, andi
supported his motion vigorously, and
gained a victory by a small majority.
> It is well that this matter of bigi
t monopolies and combinations, by,
. whatever name called, should corn-i
i mand the attention and thoughts of.t
r the people of this country at this
- time.
tTHE TREASURER'S REPORT.
-We publish this week the annual
.report of the County Treasurer. Ac
cording to a recent change in the
law by the Legislature. the Treasur
er's report is the only one published.
Heretofore the County Commis
sioners and the School Commissioner
had to p)ublish their reports also.
This may be a wise law, or it mayt
not. We do niot propose to criticize
it. But we have the same criticism
of the published rep)ort that we had
two or three years ago of a similar
report, and that is that it is not corn
-plete. The report simply states that
a Mr. A or B,. holding certificate or
,check, No. so anid so, was paid a cer
-tain amount. If the report is to be
e published, it should give more infor
mation. All that we know after read
ing the report, is that a certain numn
.ber of persons named therein, were
-paid the amounts opp)osite their
e names. That is very unsatisfactory.
e TVo illustrate what we mean : Sup
Spose a tax payer' desired to know '
d*what amount was paid totiljs
e tices' constables, could he deter
~fmine from the report? Or sup)pose
, he wanted to know what amount had
-been expended on bridges, could he
e gather it from the report? We do
not see how he could without consid
erable guess work.
SWe do not mean to say that the
tresaurer is at fault. We presume lie 1
f is following the law. We know his re
, port is similar to all that we have
- seen. Possibly lie could not make
. up from his books for what this money
d was paid. If~ not, then the law should
1. be changed, and the County Commis.
e sioners should publish the report and
n not the Treasurer, and let the tax
papers see for what their money was
o being used. But the last reports
r published by the Commissioners in
I this county were as unsatisfactory
.and void of information as the pres-1
t ent published report. If it is neces
e sary for the tax payers to know
;where the money goes, they should
y know for what purpose it goes there.t
t Rev. Dr. Shaw. of Edgefield, who
-was reported last week as having at
tempted suicide, has been adjudged
-insane andl sent to the Asylum. His
amental aberration is said to have been
-caused hby over toncentration of
mind on the "holiness" or "sanc'.ifi
r cation" dloctrine. He was a member
s of the Holiness Association.
.HISTORY OF SOVrH CAROLINA
Recently several of our exchangesj
ad something to say about the need
or a history of South Carolina.
'hat such a need exists there can be
ittle doubt. There is no history that
ce know of suitable to be used in
our schools or one that is complete.
We had occasion to write of this
everal years ago as editor of the
cews. We then stated that the late
,en. A. C. f arlington of this county
ad told us just before his death
hat he was engaged in the prepara
ion of just such a work as is now
poken of by the press. How far he
ad progressed with the work we are
nable to say-. He was eminently
nalified to prepare such a work
nd we would be glad to see the work
egun by him completed by some
ompetent person. Or if this is not
racticable we would be glad to see
he work undertaken by some con
etent person, for such a work is
reatly needed. And as such a per.
on, eminently qualified to under
ake this task, we would suggest the
ate editor of the Register, Col. J. P.
homas Plenty of material can be
nund for the compilation of such a
istory and it is very much needed.
Ve learn cotyparatively nothing in
he schools of the history of our own
itate. Every child should be taught
he history of its own State.
Columbia voted on last Thursday
in the guarantee for the Columbia
,anal, in accordafice with Act. of the
.egislature turning the canal over
o the city of Columbia on certain
onditions. The guarantee was voted
>y a large majority, fifteen hundred
znd seventy-nine votes being cast for
he guarantee and only thirteen in
ipposition.
By Act of the last Legislature the
tire property of the State in the
:anal, including the lands held there
ith and the appurtenances the,e
into belonging, are transferred to
he city from the source of the canal
Lt Bull-sluice, through its whole
ength to where it empties into the
Jongaree. It is to be used for the
rposes of navigation and the Board
>f Trustees are to furnish water
)ower for the penitentiary. and five
mundred horse power to the State be
odes, and to furnish an adequate
upply of water to the city of Colun
>i a.
This is all very well, for, in our
pinion, it was a very good thing for
he State to rid herself of this trouble.
['le canal has already cost the State
a money and convict labor, in round
lumbers, $200,000, and it was a con
tant subject of discussion anid pro
luced no income to the State in re
tn. But if the city of Columbia is
o have the canal as a gift from the
state, we da not see why the State
hould still further furnish labor for
ts completion. But the Act p)ro
'ides that the penitentiary shall fur
lish such conviets as fromn time to
ime may he unemployed and m.ot
inder contract.
We hope now, however, that'Co
umbia will develop this water power
ud be-come a great manufac'.uring
A fine opp)ortunity offers to local
romen suffragists to go West and
;row up with Washington Territory,
vere Governor Semnple has just
ned the bill extended the honors
f the ballot to the ladies, possibly
s a p)remnium on female imninigra
on.-New York Star.
We would like to get the woman
uffragist advocates just about that
r away. The suggestion of our
otemporary is a good one.
The United States Senate last
week passed a bill to refund the di
-ect tax levied during the war. An
Lmendment offered by Senator Vance
>f North Carolina to include in the
>ill the refunding of the cotton tax
evied (luring the war, arid which was
lso a dire(ct tax, was voted down by
Slarge majority. Four-fifths of the
lirect tax included under the bill
ill go to thme Northern States. The
otton tax, if the amendment had
revded would have come almost
3xclusively to the Sopith..

Trust in Fertilizers Oron:izinag
What Manufacturers say.
Newc York Hlerald.
There is a trust in formation amnoig
he manufacturers of commercial fertihi
ers. Its promoters claim that it is near
y consummated, and that onuly a few de
ails reumain to be aurrangedl before it will
e an etrective working organiz ition. A
ow estimated places the annual sales of
rtficial fertilizers at 1,000,000 tons or
~30,000000 worth annually, and thme
rde is constamntly increasing.
There are about tifty large lirms in
he business and four hundred small
oncrns. Thle hatter would not be
aken into the trust, and there would
robaly be am effort to buy th.enm out or
Irive hemi out of bumsiness-a la Standu
trd Oil.
Thimk i- th--~ programmme, but there is a
arge numbher of manufacurers, and
tmoug them several of the miost iumpor
ant, who do not think it is fea.-ihle
['hey claim that thme hu-iness is not one
v-hichm will admit of the sources of sup
>lies~ being control led by~ any trn-t, how
-er powerful. Tfo make the trui-t sue
wed it woul be nece-sary to control
he mining of alt the uit:ate of sodaL on
he west coast of South Amnericam, thme
ulphate of ammonia supply, the bone
ade, the slaughter house refuse and
he potashes thamt are the monoply of a
-erman syndicate.
IT MAY FAIL.
Am attempt of this kind on :a small
cale lately made has failed or is doomed
o failure. The Charleston and South
~aroinam phosphates are essentiaml in the
muines', 450i,000I toins of them bring~
sed annually. The laud rock is owned
my pivate comnpani--s and thme river rock
.. the State. the c.'mrtie1s paying a
royalty of :1 a ton for mining the latter.
Five of thv most powerful companies re
cently formed a combination and got a
bill into the South Carolina Legislature
to get a grant frotn the State givinll
theun control of the river rock. The bill
was defeated by a decided majority. The
supporters of the trust say they will get
around the diflicnlty about controlling
the sources of supply by keeping out of
market the fertilizers in which the in
gredients they cannot control are essen
tial elements or by substituting others
in their plice. Other objections urged
by the doubter. are that men who know
the busines: can get supplies outside
the trust. and that the farmers will be
against the tru-;t when they find the
neilboring small mannlfacturers frozen
our by it
In. spite of these ob ions drawbacks to
the sehemte, which are known to every
body in the business, it is very probable
that the tru-t will be formed.
[NOTE.-The statement of the Herald
that the Charleston companies formed a
combination and introduced a bill in the
last Legislature to get from the State
the control of the river rock is without
foundation and has been repeatedly de
nied by the News and Courier.]
