THE PRESS AND BANNER AND Tfil SCHOOL COMMZSSEONER. The Press and Banner is very much exercised over the Teachers' l)epar,ment in the IIERALD AND NEWS. This paper in a recent date sent up a question to the Teachers' Association and asked that it be an swered through the Teachers' Depart ment. The question and the answer by the editor of the Teachers' De partment are published in this issue. The question is a very pertinent one, possibly, but we think the proper place for this inquirer to have pro pounded his question would have been in the management of afTairs in his own county. This is of course no answer to the inquiry, and as it was not propounded to us, we will not ! undertake an answer, but we desire to insist more strongly on the inquiry of the editor of the Teachers' De partment, to the editor of the Press and Banner, namely, how did the School Commissioner of Aobeville I County receive $600 when the school term in said county was only one hundred and ten days. What be came of Othello's occupation after the schools closed in Abbeville? How was it that ninety days were paid for after the schools closed. Since our cotemporary loves to ask questions, we hope we will not be considered out of order in asking it these sim ple questions and we hope to receive its answer. We desire here to quote the ques tion of the Anderso Journal to the Pr-ess and Ban-ner suggested by this very School Comnmissioner business. Since it seems to be the order of Press and Ban-ner to be more inter ested in other counties than its own we await its reply. Trhe Anderson Journal says: "In this connection it would probably be well, at least not out of place, to make an inquiry concerning a practice that obtains in Abbeville County. The Act of the General Assembly approved Dec. 24, 1886, provided "That so much of section 6 of the Act of the General Assembly approved 9th February, 1882, as requires the annual reports of County Commis sioners and of County School Corn missioners to be published in a news. paper be, and is; hereby, repealed," But, nevertheless, we notice that the annual reports of the County Cor' missioners and of the County Schoci Commissioner of A bbeville ;County are still published each year in t.t Abbeville papers. Now, we woul d respectfully ask if the County Com missioners allow pay out of the p)ub lic funds for these long and expen sive advertisenients, and, if so, by what authority? We naturally sup pose the newspapers are not doing the work for nothing or as a matter of news, and we presume it hardly probable that the officers in question would pay for the advertisements out of their o~wn private pockets." Before dismissing this question and in.justice to our School Conmmis sioner and Board of Examiners, we desire to say that we have no doubt that the School Commissioner made out his itemized statemeut showing two hundred days work. Whether the occupation ought to be gone when the schools close or not is an other question. An effort was made in the last Legislature to reduce the pay of the School Commissioner of this county and one or two others, to $300 and 850 for traveling expenses, but it failed to pass, so it would seem that our Legislature was in favor of' pay ing the School Commissioner 8G00. THEl. TREAURtERt'S REPORT. We gladly give place to the correc tion or st.atenr.ent of Mr. F.Werher, jr., in regard to the rep)ort of the County Treasurer. In our criticism we did not mean to go back as far as the time when he was clerk of the Board of Couuntv Commissioners. although our language may have indicated it. for that was before we had occasion to observe such reports, and before we had any connection with news papers. We know that. two years ago. when the law r:quired the County Commissioners to have their annual rep)orts published, we made a similar criticism of it in the Hi:u.iw .m> News, for then it was as void of in formation as the preser.t one. In this connection we desire to state that the treasurer has informed us that he couldl not well be more spe cific in his report. fromn the informa tion before him, than bie is. for he has nothing to maske up his report from. but the checks issued by- the Countyv Commissioners. and frequent Iv these checks state what the money is pai-l fer. with en "and so forth" in them. which may mean a great m:anv things. 10 illustrate :A check is frequently written to p~ Mr. A. o>r B.. or order, a cercain amount for bridges, -and so forth." The point we desired to make was, if the County is to go the expense of publisbing these reports, they should give the tax payers some informa. tion, that would show them for what purpose the money was being ex pended. We think it is right and proper to publish this informa tion, and it should he published in such shape that we may be able to ather from it how much it was cost ing the tax payers to keep up the brid,ges, or to feed the prisoners. or to furnish physicians for the jail and poor house, or, in a word, to show how much it cost. to run the various departments of the county govei n- 1 ment. In its present shape it is worthless, so far as conveying any information is concerned. It does not even give a summary of the expenses. We suppose a man could sit down and run through a long addition and ind out the total amounts paid out by the County Commissioners and the School Commissioner. Mr. B. R. Tillman writes to the ees and Courier what he terms his valedictory, and says he proposes to retire from public life. We repro :luce Mr. I'illman's letter in full. Mr. Tillman is a forcible writer, and no loubt the agitation started by him will result in good. The only fault we have ever found with Mr. Tillman is his wholesale denunciation it men in office and the management of af. airs. We do not think there was ever just cause for such wholesale de unciation. There are abuses and evils in the public service. There can be little doubt of this. But we have never held that the proper way to bring about reform was to be found in wholesale d(enunciation. In fact, we thiuk Mr. Tillman would have ac couplishcd more if he had been less vindictive. We do not believe in mincing mat ters, but at the same time we do not believe in accusing persons at ran dom. This farewell address of Mr. Till man contains much that is sugges tive. We have no doubt it will be read with interest. Our Prosperity correspondent last week said that the new law in regard to not allowing trial justices costs in criminal ceses would have the effect to diminish litigation. If that be true, then we say it would be a good law to allow them no pay at all. But we do not apprehend that any such state of affairs will result. We think, however, that it was not wis dom in our Legislature to reduce the pay of Trial Justices so low that they cannot make enough money to pay office rent and stationery bills. We believe in paying public servants a reasouable salary for their services. In a place the size of Newberry the salary now allowed will not more than pay otfice rent andl fire wood. We suppose the idlea in the mind of the Legislature was to remove the temptation from the trial justices to encourage the settlemient of' cases by the defendant paving the costs, for as the law stood before, it was only in such cases that the trial justices re ceived costs in criminal cases. A right good idea, but in taking away this part of' the income the salary should have been increased in pro portion. This state (if affairs is growing worse. Small dealers and new men stand no chance. The big combina tions are gobbling up everything, and the consumers have to pay the p)iper. The evils of the trust sy'stem affect every man, woman and child in the country. Everything that we eat, drink and wear is controlled by a "combine." Our coal, gas and scores of other; necesities are in the hands of these speculators. Combination is the order of the day, and it will soon make competition imp)osible. Atlanta CJonstit"tion. The tendency of the -noney' men of the country is to combination. A bill has been introduced in Congress to investigate these trusts and monop olies, to determine what. it' anythmgt, can be dlone to relieve the cou ntry of the huge combtinat'uns of capital. which result in driving smaller manu facturers and dealers inrto bar.kruptcy or out of busines.. WXe await anxiousiv the result of1 this investigation. A HISTORY OF SOUTH1 CAROLINA. We publish elsewhere a letter from Col. .1 oh n P.

The South Carolina phosphate me 0sdo not seem to have succeeded i forming a combination. They hav evidently had some such plan i view ever since the defeat of the bi: which would have formed a pool ur (er provision of law, but. there ar obstacles in the way which they hav no yet been able to get around. A conference was held in Charlet t ton Saturday, but no definite actio r wa taken. It appears that th - scheme is to devise some plan b which a living profit mnay be mad r upon a ton of phosphate rock, on C off shipboard. When it costs abou -$4 to mine it, atnd it will bring jus -about that amount when it is put o if te market, the phosphate men sa t there is no profit in the business. On of the plans suggested is that th companies shall cease to mine, an rthus force the demnand. The einet are already holding back their stoc for higher prices. T1here has recentl ebeen a slight advance, hut that credited to cousumtfptionl. and it1 hardly sufficient to indicate a rise $6.5U or even to $5 a ton at any nie day which is the price thle miners at - holding for. The tmovemenlt is being close1 watched by fertilizer tnen througzhot the countr~y. It is impossible yett tell what it may develop into, an ewhat effect a combitnationi effecte ~-may have on the trade, but there: ,o no~doubt that a trust movement is o ee foot. r, y; nluey lteachue.
