THE NEW COUNTY.
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

.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.

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.
