One of the ottatnt things to which he di tion - is the public debt of-; illion dollars maturing in debt is now drawing six est. It is thought that ed at four percent., and ed by the State Treas d by the Governor. done it will be a saving to bout $120,000 annually, ne. Of course the ex to refunding will be ut if this part of the refunded at four per cent., ag4e-fifty years, the saving in t would pay the whole State. at time. The truth of the busi ess is, if some arrangement could be ised to rid the State of her debt, the n of State taxation would be small any way, for the large part e State tax goes every year to the ilelt of the iuterest on the State . If that were out of the way it ld be found that the State tax ot a very large thing. e public schools of the State is rtant Iatter.

FOR JEFFERSON DAVIS. that Hon. Jefferson Davis Shelp, and an appeal is tributions for himn. The -"s says so for as it THOMAS FERGUSON GRENEKER:. Thonas Ferguson Greneker was born in the city of Charleston, S. C., March 2nd, 1827. He died at his hon in Newberry December 3d, 188 1, in the ;3di year of his age. He was married in the city of C-lumnbia on 30th of Decen ber, 1852, to Miss Mary Caroline Fritz. By this marriage three children were born to them. One son and two daughters. Only one of these, Mrs. Lula M. Jones, is now living. This wife died many years ago. He was married a second time, on the 9thof August, 1864, to Miss Corrie G. Sligh, of this county, whosurvives hin. Six children were born of this marriage -four sons and two daughters-three 1 of whom are now living: Miss Sallie, Eugene, and Claude. Mr. Greneker came to Newberry be fore the war, and was associated for several years with T. P. Stider in the publication of the Itising Sun. After the war, he with his brother R. H. Greneker, began the publication of the Newberry Herald, it being the succes sor of the Rising Sun. The deceased continued the publica tion of The Herald until in 1SS4, when The News was merged into The Herald, and the publication continued by Mr. T. F. Greneker as Tite Herald and News. Mr. Greneker was in bad health for a number of years, and in 188.5 lie re tired from active journalism, being succeeded by his son-in-law, Mr. A. C. Jones. In March ISS7 the Herald and News wassold by Mr. Jones to the present publishers. About one year ago Mr. Greneker received a fall by which his thigh was fractured and from that time to his death he was confined to his house, although he recovered and was able to walk about the house with the use of a crutch. Mr. Greneker was the founder of this paper; and for nearly forty years was identified w ith the journalism of this county. The best years of his life and his energy and intellect were spent here in our midst in an effort to ad vance the true interests of his adopted town and county and of his native State. He was one of the organizers of the State Press Association and was elected Treasurer at the first meeting. He was a consistent member of the Methodist Church and died in the as suranceof a blissful immortality be yond the grave. The life of the editor of a country newspaper is one of many trials and hardships and much labor, but if his head and heart properly direct his pen it is difficult to estimate the power and magnitude of his intluence for good. Though an invalid for a long time, andl while hisdeath was not unexpected, yet'deathi at all times and ulnder al cirumnstancs carries a sadness with it. He had a large circle of acqluaintances xany friends in the county and family of theC deceased The INews begs thle privilege of synmpathy and condolenee. ad News on this occasion m man LJ ll .J..

A bill has nassed the Iou'e reducing the salaries of the State otlicers by a vote of 5 to 38. A bill has also pa:ssed the House making the state license for the retal ing of whsisykey $o. A marriage license law was passed by the House after rI1uch discussion, bat it is thought will be killed in the Senate. Th Leg_islattire has the election of Railroad ('toinlmi 5ioners, two Circuit .J udges, in place of Judges Pressley and Aldrich, and a (',mnuiissioner of Agri culture. Mlr. Pope has introduced a bill in the Senate to renew and a,nenld the char ter of the. town of Newberry; Mr. Mower, to establislh Graded ch-ools in Newberry; by Mr. Mower, also, to provide separate coaches for whites andi blacks on the railroads. )etition has been sent to ourt dee gation to repeal the law establishing the Rutherford :chool District in this county, but we are inforne ; a;: other petition will be forw.re,, :ad if is likely the law will stand as at pres ent. It is too early in the session yet to give much idea of the legislation of this session. Business is accumulating very rapidly and from the number of new measures brought forward, there will be a session of much work, either in enacting laws or refusing proposed laws. We have always beei of the opinion that we had too much legislation in this State. A bill has been prop,sc(i to prohibit children working ill cotton inils, which has arouscd the cottol mill men. it is an important matter and we give the following from yesterday's News and Courier: Mr. T1upper's bitl prohibiting the employmenlt in factories of eildren under 13 years (14 had been the age originally nalmed, but it was subse 4uently noodilied,) has made a great stir among the cotton factories of the State, and representatives of inills in every section of - outh Carolina gathered in ('olumbia to;day to argue bemore tie House judiciary cotlnmittee against its passage.

The time will come when it will be too ee late, that the property holders of this town will awake to the sense of the its necessity of having an organized fire department. A few years ago a num o ber of our best young men organized s themselves into a fire company, and 9i the Town Council failed to encourage them even to the extent of absolving them from street tax. They argued eft that if these young men were not re quired to pay street duty, that they, ay the prope ty holders would have to pay a tax on their property. Shades of rry Ciesar! A town to build up without a in tax. Yet this is the true status of Pros perity's city government. The man ity who owns $10.000 worth of property, -m.. and whose tenants and hirelings and ore buggies and wagons and teams daily the pass and repass over these streets of be Prosperity, pays no more tax than the Iral 10 year old boy who has not a dollar's for worth of property in the world, and if eg- he happens to be 60 years old he pays none. Talk about justice, forsooth Al justi-e in taxpaying in Prosperity is a rar- sound without a meaning. When the uit 'iown Council of Prosperity refused to ith- relieve the fire company from .treet ee tax, these young men did exactly right in disbanding. I give them credit for tly their manliness.
