IL I. AULUL, EmTott. A GO) SETTLEDIMNT. It will be remembered that some years ago No. I Township voted $10, 000 to aid in building the Augusta and Newberry Railroad, and that, No. 8 Township voted $10,000 to the same r.tilroad. The road was graded and the bonds issued and delivered. The road has never been built. The bonds are said to be the most regularly issued railroad bonds of any in the State. A little more thant a year ago suit was entered by the holders of the bonds to secure their money on them. In similar cases the Su preme Court of the United ctat.s hast decided that they are valid bonds and the townships would event ually have to pay them. We took the position at the time the suit was insti tuted that it would be a useless expen diture of money to employ counsel to fight. the Case, and that the best thing the townships could do would he to save all the cost they couhl and g'et ready to pay them or to etleet a con promise, if possible. with the ho:ders of the bonds. Messrs. 11unt & llunt. ' 't C. breath and Geo. Johnston. of Newberry bar, -were emp:o ed i after the interests of the toe:. when the suit was irsti:: ' have conducted the eae w":n . :: skill and to great a :a -: townships, and are to be cec on the good settle:z.: feeted for the towns The debt again.. N.: including accunmulated -- .-: June 1. 1898, amoun --... :-. numbers, $72,000. In Nk -. pal and interest up' to the : amounted to about $I.AX). a to:: fe: both townships of about al.iw The settlement secured for t he town ships knocki out all interest prior to 1891, and the balance, principal and in 1erest, is settled at 0,U cents on the dol lar. In ot.her words, No. 1 Township will have to pay about $32,000 and No. 8 about $8,000, making the debt of both townships just about what. the debt of No. I was originally, without, any av cumulated interest to pay. it is to be refunded in bonds to run .1 years, interest at. 7 per cent. intil 19 ), and after that interest, at 6 per cent. Iln der the general refunding act, after 1906, one-fortieth of the principal, to gether with the interest, to he paid each year. This, we say again, we consider a very good settlement for the townships. It is hard to have to pay fir a ilroad that was never built, but. it is decidedly bettor to ply $40,00C. than to pay $9t, 000, as we woull have beenl compeltled to do had no compromise been etTected. Tle attorneis had beei it work on the settlement, about 18 months, and tle Legislature has just pw-ed two acts validating and carrying into elTeet the compromise agreed upon. The treasurer of the to.s submin his report of exptenses and recei pts fx the year 189)7 in this issue. We hope the citizens will give the re.port careful attention. I t will he seen that the totaul recelipts of the town for the year were nearly $20,000. The biggest item of expense was the street dlepartm t,t and It is right that it should be. Everyone who walks the streets must recognize that the streets arec in better condition today than they have been in at long time. TIhe fact is, when we take off the cash balance on hand the first of January it will he seen that about half the money spent was on the streets. All of thema should be maeadamized, and mtoney' sp)ent in that way will not have to he repeated each year. The water works bonds and tax and expense, it,seems to uts, should be in a sot)arate rep)ort and kept distinct from th aregular finances of the town, be eause it is managed by a sep)arate board, and they atre responsible for its conduct. It would be well, it, seetms to us, to have a statement from this d - part,ment and let the people k now how much of the tax has b) x( n atnd is to bet utsed to maintaint the system, or wh eth or thte revenue from p)rivate consumetrs tmakes it, self-sustaining. WVe only desired to call attention to the treport of the treasurer. Rigtht. ttow is a goodl time to remem ber that of all Lhe food crops known to this sect,ion, there is not one that Is motre easily raised1 or tmoro v'aluable than Irish p)otatoLs. On the tab e they r,re unmturpassed, and even In the fat. tening of hogs t.hey atre wor-th as mutch as corn.-Ex. Trhen lant plent.y of Irish p)otattoes. They are selling on the market to-day for $2 a bushel, and we are all buyers instead of sellers. Insteadl of buying we should be selling and eating those of out- own growth. Trho present Legislaturo whiceh is now drawing to a close has not (lone anything of impor-tance except, to kill a number of bills. If it had at the be ginning of the session p)assed the appropriation and stupply bills and adjourned and gone home the State would have been about as well oil. Nothing injurious has been donte, how over. Tbe Coroner should empanel a jury and make a thorough and searching in vestigat,ion of the burning of the dwell ing and also the body of M iss Rleeder on Monday morning. It is a fearful thing and if the firec was IncendIary the purpose must have been to end the life -~ -, ,of Miss Rleeder. Let the search light * ~ be turned on and a thor-ough investiga tion bemado.
