In these hard times when theory of “retrenchment and reform” is heard on every side, the statement 9 ^ i tbs^t the people are clainonog for th ? formation of new counties seems odd; Many and serious are the ob jections to any increase in the num ber of counties in the State, bnt to enumerate them would he useless, so unanswerable is the argnmeut that this increase would but multi ply expenses and add to the bur dens of tax payers. There is no surer way of increasing the taxes than this, and we hope the advo cates of the new enterprise will stop to count the cost of their undertak ing before proceeding further. These are the hardest times the farmers have seen for years, and the repre sentatives from both Darlington and Marion were sent to Columbia to cut down expenses, rot to in crease tketn The Marion Morin slats that the people of West Mar ion are uot as enthusiastic on this subject as the Florence Timet would have us believe, and adds: “We tail to see any valid and reasonable argument for the new county be youd the fact that it will benefit Florence.” If a Court House is established at Florence, there will be two Court Houses withiu ten miles of each other. Where is the necessity for that T Darlington Court House is reasonably accessible to the people of all sections of the county, par ticularly to those residing in Flor ence, which isonly ten miles distant and has excellent r.iilroad connec tions with Darlington. HURRAH FOBTHBDAY TRAIN FROM WADRSBORO* TO COLUMBIA! Late Wednesday evening it was rumored on thestievts of Darling ton that the railroad auLhomiea bad at last decided to run a regular dai ly traiu through from Wadesboro’ to Columbia. In order that the truth of this rumor might be ascer taiued, the Editor of the News at once sent the following telegram to Mr. G. G. Lynch, Master of Trans portation at Florence : “Humored here that a train will be run hereafter from Cberaw to Columbia. Please tell me immedi ately, by telegraph, all yon know abont it.” In reply the following telegram was received late last night: “Florence, 8. C., Dec. 8, ’80. We expect to commence to run trains from Wadesboro’ to Colum bia on Monday next. Will send yon a schedule as soon as they are printed. G. G. Lynch.” Thus it will be seen that this blessing, for which the Darling ton News has been contending so long and so earnestly, has at last been obtained. We are satisfied that the scheme will prove to lie all we have claim ed for it—a great benefit to the railroad, to Columbia, and to the people of the Pee Dee section. “THE LABORER IS WORTHY OF HIS HIRE” It is not made the official duty of the Attorney-General to represent the State in the Supreme Court ot the United States, and it has al ways been the rule to give him ex tra comjieusatioii for services so performed. Mr. Miles, the late At torney-General ot South Carolina, by his ability and learning succeed ed in having the “Eevenue Bond Script” cases decided in tavor of the State, by which decision South Car olina is relieved ot “the payment of a claim of 81,800,000, which originated in a bold attempt by the late Republican Government to practice a gross fraud upon the peo ple.” The importance of this deci sion connot be over estimated. It was but natural then to supi>ose that the fee of $1,000, so vastly out of proportion to the services ren dered, would be paid by the Legis lature without a murmur. What false economy w is that wbi .‘b in duced so many : euators to vote against its payment f There is no doubt that there are dozens of law yers in the State who would have conducted these cases for $500; but a “half price” lawyer might have lost them, thus rendering the State poorer by nearly two million dollars. All honor to the Senator from Darlington, who, while annoanoing himself as an economist, cast bis vote to recompense a laborer who has so eminently proved himself "Worthy of bis hire P HE DID RIGHT. Some of Mr. F. E. Normeut’g friends in the County started a pe tition requesting the Governor to reappoint him County Mr. Norment has refused to allow this to be done, and no rffoit Will la* made either by hims* If or Ids friends to effect such a result. The Democratic party in Darling-1 ton County is to be coiisriMtulated on this c Delusion of Mr Normeufa I and be occupies a graceful |>ositiou in refusing to be tempted into tak ing an^ action a \vhlch night seem like unwillingness on his part to ! abide by the result of the nomina ting convention. THOSE -LOST CREEKS,” Some time ago the Charleston A’w* and Courier stated that 875,- 000 had been appropria'ed for the improvement ot Clark’s Creek and Mingo Creek, in Williamsburg Couuty. Of course we presumed that the yews and Courier hail au tbority .for this statement, ami ask ed them to jKiint it ont to ns. Sev eral weeks have followed and no notice has been taken ol our cour teous request. If any longer time should elupae without its being complied with, what will our read ers think of our presumption when we took ft for granted that the Netes and Courier could back their assertion by producing their au thority t The total rainfall in Charleston sinceWhe night ot the great caryi- quake shock on Aug. 31, up to Dec. 1, has ammonnted to 3.37 inches. This phenominalty small quantity of rain, for a period of ninety-one days, is a circumstance never be fore known in the history of the signal service. This is a most re markable rerun! for which no cause can be assigned. Barbarism will never cure the wrongs of civilization. The Legislature. A bill has been iutroduced into the Seuate looking to the reductiou of the salaries pf all the county of ficials in. Charleston, which will decrease the county exiienses by $4,857. There has also been pre sented a bill to prohibit the sale of cigarettes to certain minors. In the Senate on Uiid inst., the first real debate of the session came up on a bill to render aid to sufferers trom the earthquake in Charleston, Colleton and Berkeley counties, by providing for a reassessment of real estate tor Lixabou. Ou the motiou to strike out section 4, which pro vides for a temporary suspension ot tax collections until a reasses-meut of damaged or destroyed pioperty can lie made, Senator Edwards made a long speech against the Section. He said that he could not subordinate b s duty as a legislator to his individual feeling rf sym pathy ; that it could not be said that South Carolinians had not sympathized fully with Charleston after the demonstration made in Darlington; and elsewhere, that when a cyclone bad devasted Dar liugUiu no reassessment of proper: v had been asked for. Further, he said, it must be remembered that to grant this relief to Charleston would be to increase the burdens ol the rest of the peope of the State, already poor and suffering; and that it was proposed by this bill to relieve uot only the poor from taxes but the rich The Section was re tained by a vote of 18 to 17, and after the adoption of an amend ment offered by Col. Edwards to insert the word “earthquake,” after the words “in its then damaged condition,” the bill was ordered en grossed fora third reading. A bill to take away the salary of $1,000 per annum now received by Lieu taut Governor, and to allow him his mileage and $10 per diem dur ing the Session has passed the House, also, after considerable de bate, a bill to make Grand Jurors serve for four years. On Thursday, the bill providing for a tuition fee of $00 per annum at the South Carolina College, which had beeu reported on uulavorably by the committee, came up for dis cussion and was debated by Col. Edwards, who had introduced the measure. The following synopsis of Sena tor Edwards’s speech is taken from the Columbia Register of Friday: He said that upon the reorgani zation of the •college all students, except the beneficiaries who bad been provided for by the Legisla- tnre, were required to pay tuition fees That the Trustees bad trans cended the Authority vested In them by legislative enactment, and that iu attempting to put their own construction upon the Constitution they jiad gone beyond their legi timate province. He reviewed the legislation that there had beeu iu regard to the University and the manner of its support and govern ment, and declared that the law as it now exists required the payment of taition fees, except by the Irene ficiaries provided for, and that the very fact that these acts of the Leg- islature all provided for certain beneficiaries excluded the construe tiou that had been put upou them by the Board of Trustees, viz., that tuition in the University should he free to ail, and such a construction of the law was a violation ot the plain mandate of the Constitu tion. Mr. Edwards said that be would have to admit that many of the ablest men iu the State differed with his construction of the statute and the Constitution, nevertheless, it seemed to him that no man oould deny that the Legisiatnre lud evi dently contemplated charging tui tion fees. Be eon d not see how any one caul i read that statute and think otherwise. There is a pi aviso em(towering the College Trustees- to devise modes of carrying out their trusts, and it has Iw-en con- ! tended thui this gives (hem power to charge for tuition or not ebaige lor it as they may think best. Now, if there is any |>ower in the statute to remit them they might do as they ch«*ose, but they do uoUhuve a dis cretion to exercise a pow er me con tained iu the act, but inasmuch as they have already seen tit to ex ercise this discretion, the Hmpjf proposition of this bill i> to show them that the law is all the other way, ami all that we haw lo do ia to determine whether the mlc aha I be to charge tuition or whether die rule shall be not to charge tuition. Once the rule is established f at union must he charged, except in certain cases, it wi I |>e an easy matter to define at d limit the ex ceptions. Mr. Edwards ably contended that the (Kilicy of free tuition was a bad one. He said t. at even with tree tuition the very poor could not ob tain a qniveraity education ; that is to say, the masses could not; and that the proviso that tuition should be charged for would never drier any poor bnt ambitious young man from oinving to obtain ail (no ad vantages of higher education. The University ot tt.e State, located in the centre ot the State, eould cot educate all the poor young men of the State; hence, the State shon'd only offer to ail tree education in those institutions that were con veniently accessible to all. viz., the common schools; but when it comes to the matter of higher education, then all should Ik* made to pay for it except those beneficiaries from each of the Comities that have al ready been referred to. The duty oi the State to educate all of the children ol the State did not extend beyond ttic matter of common school education, ami the questio * of higher education for our young men rested upon a different basis. Tbe young man who wished to oh tain this must help bimselt If he possessed the proper instincts of a high manhood, lie would help bim- se.f, and would find the way opened to him to do so ami men willing to help i ini on in his struggle The Constitution requires that wheu tbe State provides free edti catiou attendance shall be compul sory. Now, then, if fre education is given in the university, then it the Constitution is obeyed our young men must all lie compelled to receive it That is a physical and financial impossibility that proves itself wilt.out argument, and wt* cannot put tbe University on uu\ sucii plattorm as that since we are compelled to make distinction be tween the University and the com uiou schools Mr. Edwards described tbe sys tem of taking ii|* our ymhan i feeding them with sjaiou as a pernicious and paralyzing nut*, li was as stupifying as an anodyne. Let a man be a man, In- said, and make himself, if uimfe at all Hi- paid a high tribute to self-made men, and said ifou- young men ot to day who were without the means of obtaining a collegiate education, realiy and earnestly desired it they would get it, but they must first show merit and then help would come. lie appreciated the training ot the intellect, the siiaipeiillig ot the sword fur the contest, buttle elevation ot character was, in Ins estimation, the highest of all aims, and the Slate must recognize this or Red Republicanism and min would result. He then referred to the fact that the denominational colleges of the State were endeavoring to develop the moral and religious character ot our youth, and that tin y believed that this free tuition polie militates against them. He said tint he was not hero to discuss the question of of antagonism between these c>d leges and the Stdc University ou account ot ftee tuition. < ertuiuly no natural antagonism existed be tween them, and thore ought not to b • any Irom any cause whatsoever, but it, as they assert, this policy re ferred to is crippling their efforts then they are entitled to a respect ful hearing; and Kiev will Ire heard. They represent 150.000 communi cants < I their respective chinches, a number far greater than tire white voting population of the State, and you may choke them off' now it you will, but the sentiment they express is growing ami extending and will ultimately prevail. It is a seuti meat which says, “appropriate liberally for the University, make it tbe best college in Soi.tb Carolina, but do uot put it upon the same plane as the common shoolsLet us heed this demand. Let us re move this disturbing element which perpetually confronts us and which wilt continue to confront us as long as this mistaken policy is persisted in, and then there will not be a cor- l>oral’s guard in South Carolina who will be the eniti ies of tbe Univer- sity. Mr. Edwards went ou to say that he ha«J been branded as au enemy of the college, but the charge was absolutely uutrue. It was bis Alma Mater, aud be would vote tor the most libei al measure for its support, aud he was both willing aud anx loos to aid the worthy young meu of the State in any way in his pow er, but he must take au expausive view of etlucafiou and the lesults of education. Some ot the friends of the Univer sity had avowed fheii hostility to tbe denominational I’olleges aud believed that they ongbt not toex iat, and that the University should swallow them all. v It is true only a few meu hold such views, but these men are influential leaders, let them remember that of three hundred and seventy colleges lor higher eduealiou in Ibis country S* only thirty or forty are Slate in ! Hfitormns, ami the rest are drnotn-: iuational, and that if it is right to. absorb these institutions in this! State then it will be right to absorb all of them wherever they existed. He paid a higii tribute to these col- i leges, aud said they did not seek to soctarianize, but were g.owing and gleaming with light, and that they were sending out an elevating and purifying influence witnout which the moral toi eof the country would be lowered, aud infidels, Red Uenubiic.ius and Communists would gains foot-hold that would ultl mately wreck the |>eace of society. Mr. Edwards H|H>ke for nearly an hour aud a half, and commanded the respectful aud earnest alien tion of the Senate aud the specta tors. The interest in the question under discussion had drawn a great many of our citizens, and among them some of the professors and students of the University, aud the Senate chamber and its limited space was severely taxed Mr. Edwards is a pleasing and impres sive speaker, aud iu him tbe anti- tuition party have a leader who can ami will deliver telling blows for the side (hat he espouses. At tbe close of his remarks, on motiou of Mr. Izlar. the special order for the hill was made the special order lor 12 M. next Wed nesday. Senator Edwards voted against a Senate Resolution providing for a clerk to the Railroad Camiiiittee. He voted for a concurrent Resold- ion relating to au Agricultural En campment at Spartonburg; the Resolution was passed, but not be fore Senator Moody, of Marion, took the opportunity of pitching into the financial metbots of the Agricultural Department. He said he wanted the Board held to re sponsibility for its expenditures, and thought that it should spend i o money except ou appropriations by the Legislature. He made an allusion to the expenditure of 810, ; 000 on “The New Orleans World’s Fraud.” Tbe funny thing about this is that the Senator Moody is evidently ignorant o' the fact that the $10,000 spent by the State for the exhibit at New Orleans was directly appropriated by the Legis lature lor that purpose. In the House on Thursday, i. Joint Resolution providing for the calling o' a Constitutional Couven foil was made the special order for Thursday, Dec. 9. Mr. B.\ rd asked aud obtained leave of absence for bis colleague, Mr. King, for Satur day, Dec. 4th. Tbe htll providing for a reduction in the salaries of officials iu Charleston Couutv was passed in ihe House; also a bill to give the Judges of the Circuit Couits the right, at the request of the defendant in a criminal case, to appoint commissions to take the testimony ol witnesses residing beyond ti e hunts ot the State. On Friday there was a big debate in the House ou a bill '<> deprive all towns of less than ottu inhabitants of the right to determine whether the selling ot liquor shall be icetis ed or not under the local option law. On side issues connected with the question the Probuhitions oat voted <beir opponents, but the bill was flu liy killed by a vote ot 57 to 53, all lour ot the repres* ntatives • •“Mi Darlington voting against it. .Vr one point in tbe proceedings Mr. Boozer, of Edgefield, who had introduced tin* measure, laboring under the misapprehension that the main question had been settled tii lavorot the prohibitionists, arose and gracefully returned his thanks to the House fur tin* support it had given the bill Thisdebate was the warmest and most interest ing of the session.' Iu the Senate Col. Edwards cast his vote iu favor of paying Mr. C. R. Miles, late At torney General of the State, $1,000 lor his extra services iu the revenue bond script cases; tbe Joint Reso lution was passed by the casting vote of Lieutenant Governor Maul din. Ou Friday the Senate adjourn ed until 7 P. M. on Tuesday. In the House on Saturday euli- gies were delivered on the late Ex- Governor Perry. Senator Woodward, who advo cates a separate Agrtcult oral Col lege, base- uceived the original idea of raising money for its support by placing a State tax ou dogs. Washington Letter. [From Our Regular Co-rospoodent.] Wasminotox, D. C„ Dec. 4, 1886. There is nothing in the way of news iu Washington just now. The Government machinery is clicking away with uuu ual speed, tbe Pres ident in the clutches of rheumatism is looking over his completed mes sage,' and every where there is a flutter of preparation for the Cou- gressiouai session which will open on Monday next at precisely twelve o’clock The largest day’s work ever ac complished in tbe Pension Bureao was done on last Wednesday, when forty of the lady clerks were em ployed until midnight aud then sent home in herdics at Govern ment ex|*ense. Au nnusual amount of Pension business was finished up during tbe mouth of November, the number of certificates granted be ing 7,384. Tbe public debt state ment tor November shows a de crease iu the debt ot only a little over $1,000,000, bat this small re ductiou is pnueiiatlly due to the fact that nearly $14,000,000 weie paid out during tbe mouth tor pen sions alone. Secretary Lamar’s annual report which is ready and will he before tbe public by the time this reaches you, treats of questtous iu which tbe country has a vital interest His Indian policy a* well as that with regard topnolic lands and railroads is well kiu*»o, hut the treatment of the of the Red-man forms the ehief feature of the re port. lie n coin mends again great clemency at.d liberality to the wards of the nation, and Ins views j aud those of tbe bureau lia%iii.* itn mediate charge, coincide as io the desirability of the savages abandon ing tribal re'atious, anti settling down to industry. The report is written in that forcible and charm ing style which has characterized each official document penned by the sect el ary of ehe Interior. W hen Secretary Whitney’s an nual re|*ort came f(pm the public printer ou Wednesday, some distil butions of it were made, but strict iujnctioiiH were given that it should uot be published until Saturday morning. The document, which has yet only been seen iu confidence is instructive and renews many re commendations made m his first report. The Secretary points with pride to the present condition of the Department afiairs. asks lor five more millions for the new navy, and thinks there should be no de lay of tbe legislation necessary for a reorganization of the Navy De partment. The return of Speaker Carlisle and Col. Morrison has revived dis cussion as to the probability of tar iff legislation this winter. As usual much interest is felt iu learning the Admiuistrations’s views ot tbe tar iff question. It is ascertained tbe President will treat tbe question as one demanding fearles* considera tion, and that iie will be specific aud emphatic iu advocacy ot tariff redaction. He will also speak bold ly aud approvingly of tbe civil ser vice law and the results of its en forcement under his Administra tion. Speaker Carlisle has lieeu beset by callers since his arrival and he alludes to the prospect of a renewal of the tariff'fight with freedom aud hopefulness. Col. M; rrisou refuses to outline his programme for the session. He is not dejected over his defeat, however, aud expects his friends to mention it when they meet him. The season’s first ripple ot social exchange was seen on tbe streets ot the city last Wednesday’—a begin ning of the tidal wave of society which follows the opening of Con gress. The ladies ot the Cabinet all gr eted their old fri**Ms end the new comers, and while there was not a long line ot waiting carriages, as there will be when the season is further advanced, there was a stiffi cient recognition of the day. Official etiquette and social con venience together long ago decided that the reception days of families ot^ the higher grade of officials in Wasbmg'oii should be as follows: Monday, the wives of Judges ot the Supreme Court; Tuesday, tbe wives ot Rcpreseutativ* s in Con gress ; Wednesday, the wi\es of ihe Cabinet ol officers; Thursday, tbe wives of Senators; Friday the wives ol Armv and Navy officers anil Saturday the lady of the White House. The ladies may begin m* observe these “days at home” as early as tliei please, but ir is cus tomary for all to do so utter Con gress assembles. New AdverliMeiuenl*. TOWN ELECTION.
