E E i. AULL, EDITOr. T $- AULL, Proprietors. HOUISEAL, NEWBERRY. S. C, ISDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1888. AN IMPORTANT DECISION. heSupreme Court has delivered a important decision in .regard to subscription by townships to rail s. It has declared the bonds invalid the Act allowing townships to vote subscriptions unconstitutional. It give quite a black eye to many interprises in this State. It is ifortunate that this matter was not sted long ago before so many bonds been voted and issued. Many rail ds depend entirely upon these bonds. Supreme Court has nothing, of urse, to do with public policy and could not decide the question before it eraised. Nearly a million dollars of these bonds have been voted in this State, and many of them have passed at of-the hands of the railroads. It h1i affect very seriously the railroad uestion in Newberry. The Columbia, 1Tewberry and Laurens was depending ely upon these bonds for funds with -whieh to construct it. This is an ini ortant road for Newberry and work ' nit:will now be very much retarded and it will be some time before the ro- . can be built if at all. TheThree C's also had several thous -nds of dolarsin township bonds, and ,we-beleve was awaiting the decision of Ahe Supreme Court on this question be =ore teginning work on the Augusta ision. This decision has thrown quite a damper over both these important en -erprises. Although as big an enter s prise.as the Three C's should not be : -aely effected by even the loss of a e hundred thousand dollars. The great trouble is that it will have the -"tendency to make capitalists afraid to avest their rhoney. A majority of the and property owners of the town ps'have voted this money and expected to have to pay it in order to t the railroads. Now the Supreme 'Court says the-bonds are invalid. Capi talists look upon it assan effort on the part of the State to repudiate its obli Sations. However, it is too early yet to tellwhat will be the result. We want ourrailroads. We have no harsh criti eism to make of the Supreme Court. We.have no doubt the Judges acted ". conscientiously. The trouble is we have too much hasty legislation. xenat')r Pope's bill to regulate taxed costs of attorneys in equity cases has -been indefinitely postponed by the *K:Senate by a vote of I7 to 11. SSouth Carolina Day at the Augusta ~~Exposition last Thursday was a grand success. The address of H. WV. Grady Swas a masterpiece of eloquence. -. g~less complete was the issue of the 7:Chronicle on this day. It gave excel -<ent photographs of the exhibits and a complete picture of the Exposition. It was a grand tribute to the splendid dis play of Carolina. * POLITICAL INTOLERANCE. The Greenville News in commenting on the quarrel between the Richmond State and New York Tribune, makes some sensible and pertinent remarks. The State suggests that the South boy .cott Mr. John Wannamnaker, of Phila -delphia, because he used his money and infiuenceand gave his vote to elect Mr. Harrison. The Tribune remarks that Mr. Wannamaker does not care for Southbern trade anyway as he has lost money on it. The. News among other things remarks: "The one power that can destroy or seriously injure this Republic is politi cal intolerance, the development of party feeling to the point wvhere each side refuses to believe in the honest and patriotic purposes of the other. The press of the country has no higher mis sion or better work than to guard against thisdanger.by keeping in the public mind that honest difference of *opmnion is possible, and that the great -body of the people act as they think .best; by keeping alive charity, good .wil and the confidence of the people in their own purity of purpose, power and intelligence. We are one country and one people and are all working together to develop our resources, to increase our power and wealth and to promote our general welfare and happiness. The boycotting system, if it could be put into operation, would be ruinous to all sides, parties and sections. It would divide business on sectional and political lines and re duce our commercial system to chaos. It is the policy of Sampson-seeking revenge for injuries and losses by bring ing upon our opponents and ourselves a common destruction." There is much "truth in this. Two political parties very nearly equal in strength are very important in a government like ours. it is an incen tive to the party in power to give to the people dhe best possible government. Ever. man has a right to use his money and influence and to cast his vote as lhe chooses, and no good can result to the country or to any one from indulging in unjust criticism of the nman who con scientiously exercises this right. Every effort should be used to wipe out see t ionalism. in thle governmnen t, anid every m~an should bend his energies to de velop the wvhole country. This cannot be,done by stirring up strife betwveen d.iferent seetions. The President sent his annul me~ssage to Congress on Monday. It is an able paper and he presents forcibly the doc trines fought for in the canmpaigrn by the Democracy and the interests of the people as against trusts and mnopolies. It is an able State paper. Senator Pope, of Newberry; has in troduced a bill to repeal the law passed by the last Legislature allowing pen sions to eertain Confederate soldiers and to establish a RIomre for disabled Con federates. A similar bill was introduced last session by Dr. Pope, and the present penlsion law was passed instead. A~t thle present rate of pensions it wvill take up)wards of $20,000 to pay the pension ea. A home will cost much less and meet the necessities of the case, furnish ing a comfortable home for those who are unable to care for themselves. We have never thought there was any great need for pensions or for a home, yet we would regret very much to see a Con federate Soldier suffer for the wants and necessaries of life. - The Home will possibly meet the re quirements of the case and give less room for fra'ud. The wife of Gen. W. T. Sherman died last week. The last session of the 50th Congress convened on Monday. A LEGAL SENSATION. Township Railroad Bonds of No Value-The Supreme Court of South Carolina Sus tains the Decision of Judge Norton. [Special to News and Courier.] CoXMBtA, November 30.-The an nouncement to-day that the State Supreme Court had decided agaiust the constitutionality of the township rail road bonds created intense interest among the lawyers and members of the Legislature in Columbia, and telegrams were sent all over the State announcing the fact. The action of the Court was unexpected to a large majority of the people, and the decision will probably develop more criticism than the famous married woman's rights determination of the same body. It is not doubted that unless some legislative remedy is applied a number of minor railroads lepen(ent for progress on township subst riltions will stop short. It was found utterly impossible dur ing the early part of the day to get an opportunity of copying the opinions filed in the case, so fully did the law yers monopolize the papers and eagerly read them. The following brief synou sis is all that can be given to-night. The three opinions would probably occupy a page and a half of The News and Courier: hloyd et at vs Perrin, Trcasurer-o. This case primarily involves the con stitutionality of the Act of December 23, 1i82, and an Act amending the same, passed December 24, 1885, where by power is given to counties and townships to subscribe to the stock of the railway company thereby char tered, and for that purpose townships are declared to be bodies politic and corptrate, and with the necessary powers to carry out the provissions of the Act. Under the provisions of the Act a township known as Ninety-Six, in Abbeville County, subscribed to the stock of the company, the Greenville and Port Royal Railrdad Company, the county commissioners as the agent of the township issuing the necessary bonds in payment of said subscription, to meet the interest of which a tax was assessed ani collected by the defen dant, treasurer of the county. This action was brought by the plaintiffs, the taxpayers of said township, under Section 268 of the General Statutes, to recoyer the amount paid by them un der protest, to wit: $305 05. The ease was tried at Abbeville, at the February term of the Court of Common Pleas for Abbeville County, Judge Norton presiding, who rendered his decree on the 29th of February, 188$, adjudging that the aforesaid Acts are unconstitutional and void so far as they purport to authorize townships to subscribe to the capital stock of said railroad company; and also so far as it purports to incorporate any township or townships, and that the tax assessed and collected to pay the interest on the bonds issued in behalf of the township of Ninety-six is illegal and should be refunded.. The Supreme Court, the Chief Jus tiee delivering the opinion, decides that this judgment, holding the Acts in question unconstitutional on account of the absence of a corporate purpose in the township incorporated, and the tax assessed and collected illegal, and should be refunded, should be affirmed. Judgment affirmed accordingly. ' McIver, A. J., concurs fully with the Chief Justice that the Act in question is unconstitutional for the reasons pre sented in his opinion and expresses his views at length in a separate opinion. McGowan, A. J., dissents, and files a dissenting opinion. Messrs Benet, Wells and Orr, Hart & Hart, and D. S. Henderson, were heard in behalf of the bonds. Messrs Sinkins, WV. WV. Butler and Harding for the plantiffs, respondents. A LIS'T OF TOwVNs1IP BOXDS. Comptro.er General Verner, in re sponse to a request of the News andCou rier, has furnished this office with the following statement of the face value of township bonds now outstanding. The statement is compiled from the annual report of Comptroller General Stoney made at the beginning of the last session of the Legislature anid veri fied from statistics available this year: Abbeville County--Cokesbury town ship, $16,200; Ninety-Six township, $2,800; total, $37,000.

According to a report made up to Ithe 31st of October, 1887, these spar tanburg bonds had not been issued. The total $51,000 must be considered with the bonds of certain townships in Union and York counties believed not to be yet issued, and deducted from the grand total for the State of $910,300. It is not yet known whether all of th,se bonds have been nullified by the dei-ioni of the Supaeme Court. It would require an examination of each Act .uthor.zing. the issue of township ,ods to determne this. The nonds issed1 hy the various counties, cities and tow ais of the State in aid of railroad corporations amount, Charleston City excluded, to $1,54)4,600. These ire not af!eted by the decision.

The Report of the Committee Sent by the Farmers' Association of South Carolina to Visit and Investigate the Agricul tural and Mechanical College of Miesissippi, with a View of Having One Like it in this State. CoLUMBIA, I)eceniber 3.-The follow ing paper was givei to the press to-day: To the Farmers' Association of South Carolina: Your committee, appointed to visit and report upon the 3Usissippi Agricultural and Mechanical College, have performed that duty to the best of their ability in the limited time at their command.

A portion of the farm is devoted to the experimental station work, the re mainder to the production of beef, amilk, butter, corn and hay, fruits and vete tables. It has been operated more for educational purposes than for profit, but, has been self-sustaining for the last four years. The statement for the present year shows $1,000 to its credit, with over $1,500 worth of beef cattle on hind. It should be stated here that the trnstees require its products to be furnished to the college for less than the market price. There are on hand, in addition to the beef cattle, about one hundred and thirty head nilch cows, and one hundred calves. The different breeds serve as object lessons to the boys, in the study of stock-breeding, in addition to furnishing beef and milk to the college and cream for the creamery. The feeding done by the students in experimenting to test the capacities of different breeds, is at once instructive and profitable to them, while it shows forcibly the advantage of the college being situated on the farm. . . There is a president, sixteen profes sors and assistants and two hundred and eighty students. Many were kept away by the yellow fever quarantine. The college is under military govern ment, and tactics are taught by a United States oflic,er. There are live classes, one preparatory nnd four col legiate. Agriculture is taught fronm the beginning, and we were much sur prised to find that the boys of the pre paratory class understood better what they had gone over in that study than in others, and were more interested in it. A bout one-third of the students in attendance belong to this class. No foreign -or dead language is taught, but special pains is taken to thoroughly teach English and composition. T1he laboratory is well equipped and afTords ample facilities for the study of chem istry. The course in mathematics is as thorough and extensive as in colleges generally. All the sciences which un derlie agriculture are taught specially, and are practically illustrated in the laboratory and on the farm. Special~attention is given to hort.icul tare, bookkeeping and. farm mianage ment. The hospital is well equipped with trained nurse and physician. The mess hall furnishes excellent board, drawn mainly from the farmn, at about $8 per month. This varies with the cost of the rawv material, and is charged to the students at actual cost. The robustness of the students is as much to be attributed to thle fine quality of tile bread, butter and beef as to the exer eise given them in physical labor. LABoR is reqluired from all students, and is di rected to all branches of agric'ultural work, such as draining, cultivation, milking, fhe care of stock, horticulture, &e. It is claimed to be equally inmport ant as illustrative of farm operations, and to keep the boys in symnpatthy with farm life, as to furnish the imeans by which they are enabled to furnish the meanls by wvhich they~ are enabled to materially reduce their expenses. Front the best. information at our dis posal we do not think it interferes at all with the course of studies. The statistics prove that thosestudents who earn most by their labor also stanmd higher t in their elasses. Tihe location here of the experimiental station, with the S15,00o given b.y Con gress, furnishes not only object lessonms to all of the students, but remmunera tive and practical workto lmanly of the most skilful, and to the senliors, who have just comlpleted the sciences in volved, a great deal in th's line is given that is of value. We were implressed with the car~e and intelligence displayed by the studenmts inl this work. The director has over sight and control of station work, but assigns work to the heads lof various departments of the college, wvho con trol its details and the aippointmenit of assstanlts in thiir respective depatrt-. ments. The lines of station work mapped out are such as are denmanded for. the immediate benefit of the ave rage farmer, and the solution of agrii cultural problemls of greatest present importance, as tile feeding of forty seven lots of cows, three ill each lot, to determinme the best ration for btutter; the feeding of forty-seven lots of steers, three in each lot to deternminc the best raton for beef, and iike experiments with blogs ;(dairy work to test the best methods of miakinlg butter ;experi mnts with corn, cotto n and horticul ture are plannled, and experiments with a view to find some species of grass for winter pastulre. The students perform most of the work necessary, except ploughinmg, andl are assisted thereby to reduce thlair exp)enses while they become as mluch~ interested in the experiments and results as Ihe director himself. o. friir o h The analysis o etlzr o h State is done also ill college laboratory. and i-y the.professor of che,mistry. and his assistants. The students dlo not perrmn the actual wvork in thm~ is ln, but thley may oi,se?rve and be instructed in its methods and principles. Anmy farmer may sernd here a samle] of fer ilizer and have it analyzed wthu cost. The Tertilizer ip'f'pya laboratory fee. ATTENDANCE AND) EXPENSE. The average attendance fl-r:ng the eight 0 e r of its existence is 315 whieb. is one-third larger than the ait'lE tendaCe at any other male college in the R nte. notwithstanding hundre'a of boys were turned away for lack of accomodaltion. Over 1.600 boy-s have attended sinlce its inauguatio. Of these abhout 80 per cent are sons of f~armers, two-thirds of: whomn are sons of farmers of small n;ans, many- of whom coul not: hav attended but for the opportunities fur- t Iished for reducing their expenses by d labor at the college, for which they are ix paid 8 cents naxinum an hour. (a The actual lexpenses of a stndent tc attending this college is about $125. The c earnings of the students on an average rE reduces this amount to about $100, p whilst many further reduce it to $65 or : less. The large number of students ir attending this college has in no way ti lessened that of other colleges. On the . contrary, the University and Denomi- s< national college at Clinton have both o had a larger attendance since its exis- ti teice, whilst the high schools all n through the State are more largely at- e tended, which would go to indicate tl that its influence has been to awaken h the educational interest throughout the v State and has actually been the case of the partial education of hundreds of bovs who would not have otherwise received :a.y at all. ME~IT OF THE TRAINING. )vsiring to compare the relative . mrts of the training given here with t hat of other Institutions, we were al lowed to at tend the class exercises, and were favorably impressed with both the tho.ough manner of the professors and with the proficiency of the stu dents. We were invited to give theses to numbers of the sen=o: class, with u thirty-six hours to prepare essays upon thei. (ft is fair to the young gentle- T inen to state that they had only been V out of the junicr class eight weeks.) a These essays were produced in good b English, read in good style, and some 0 of then were so able as to greatly as- a tonisi, us, when we remembered that t the boys, four years before, had en tere this institution without more preparatien than to read, write and einher throu:h -fractions. Those who P i.ave graduated here and gone to medi- c cal colleges and elsewhere have com- tl peted with those who went from other e coikges for the honors, 'whil the po sition attained by the graduates speaks e equally well. One has obtained a pro- e fessorsh ip at a salary of 62,250; four at I salaries of $1,200; two at salaries of a $1,u00; four assistant professorships at e saiarios or S9), and so on, while nany f are superintending creameries, stock v farms. kc., at good salaries. b The following table gives the occupa- t hon of the students who have gone into h business e Per et Per et Per ct Peret 1 ycar 2 y'rs 3 y'rs 4 y'rs n Farming......V 8 53 46 56 h Merchants... 16 13 4 4 II Students......

We were reliably informed 3 since the College established its cream a cry, it has influenced the erection of 'I twenty others, some of which are very t< successful and have competed success- ft fully with Eigin and other- Western v and Northern creameries, which has c: muoved this industry several hundred b miles South. Silos have been erected 3 all over the State, and farmers are now t imp)roving their cattle, wvho before did c. not believ-e that M1ississippi bu tter could al be sold at all in competition with the tl Northern product. ii The numerous letters to the officers c< of the c-ollege, which we had the privi- g lege of inspecting on all kinds of farm fi topies. with the large number of visitors who emune to t he college to get informa- r4 tion on stock breeding, horticulture, S draining andl kindred subjects, indicate sl that the peole of the State largely look el to t he eollege for guidance in agricultu- t< ral ma ttr-rs. We lea rn of one commu nity whose ag.ricultural matters had been so changied andl( improved by rhe influence of two boys returning to it ,r from the colleg,~ that the section has been anmed after the-u. Time to can vass and -investigate wvould doubtless diIs(cover nany.v more. There are many other evidences of the good influences A of the coilege, which would render this t< report too Iong. h ol'!'OSJIoN. W~e find the Legislature of Missis- et sippi at its !ast session cut off $8,000 of el the usu:d' annual appropr.iation to the nl C:ollege, which caused it to lose some a of its a blest professors. We have been 01 ait somie pains to ascertain the cause it anid ihe extenat of the opposition, if any, if to the college. .it seems that the Leg- ti islature sonre years ago reduced th~e C taxes belo w~hot wvas necessary to run c< the -gov ernmelnt, which left 'a def..

This ignorance as to the nie- Vt cet of'anu agricultural college, and am ih ~iene between farming to edu- .f (ate and farming for profit, caused some I to ad vocate tis reduct ion.
