THE DARLINGTON NEWS THURSDAY. DHO. 30.1886 HBHUT T. THOMPSOM EDITOR' DEPRESSION—ITS CAUSES. 1 The eeiuMe of She fleet business iepreerion which exists tbcoeghont the eoeatry, le the question which ebove ell ethers, confronts oar peo ple cow; end in order that a rem edy may be suggested, we are led to inquire into these causes. Since agrienltore is the chief industry of the country, what ever affects it in* lunouslj, contributes to this de pression. Of the pest seven-sea- •nns, five have been unfavorable. In 1881, before these unfavorable sea- eons bad come upon them, having had propitious years and beautiful crops, cur farmers made a tremen great advantage to them. We be lieve that a very strong presenta tion of the case can be made, and ateps bare already been taken to have petitions circulated for the signatures of tbe leading citizens of Ibis section. With that lively in terest which be always exhibits in anything relating to tbe welfare of hia constituents, Hr. Dargau has promised to do ail be oau in regard to tbe matter; so we are reasonably bopeful of success. THE lUnTIA. We were pleased to see that tbe Legislature passed tbe usual appro- priatiou for tbe maintenance oi the Militia; and we were particularly glad to learn that our State Senator voted for it. We failed to receive the Journal of the proceedings on tbe day the Bill came up in tbe House; so we do not know whether orufi*, v.» »•» **«*>’ - ’•---“I onr Representatives voted for if, dousoutlay with the hope of Deiug| -Kai1 | < i k»A go whether yield. they should have done they did or not We predict that, three years from to-day, every honest minded man in the State will acknowledge that it was well that the Legislature passed an ap propriation for the Militia in 1886 If there be doabting Thomases who deem it a waste of mouey to support the Militia, let them keep their eyes ort this prophecy ot tbe Darlington News. A DISTINGUISHED EDITOR. We bad tbe pleasure of receiving this week a marked copy of the Auttin Daily Statesman, coutainiug editorials from tbe vigorous i>eu of Col. John J. Dargau, who recently moved from this State to Texas. | Tbe Statesman is pronounced in its opposition to the present iniquitous tariff, and will find in Col. Dargan , * u» '«f i *” * b " > » o * i y uto i r i wk » h “ 1 achieved distinction as an advano by e proportionate Instead of this, they found at the cad ef the year, with enough to pay their expenses. Many were left badly in debt; and like the insolvent man who hopes to relieve himself by speculating, they made greeter efforts the next year, end went in debt deeper than ever. Thus, with the continuation of bed crops, they have become ■ore end more involved each year, ootil, instead of eolvency being the rule, It bee become the exception. In the near ftitore we will discuss Author the causes which lead to this great bqpioess depression. EXTENSION OF TDIEFOR THE PA Y- . MINT 09 TAXES. By refoenoe to another column It will be seen that tbe Legislature has extended the time for the pay the State except- Darlington, until y, 16th, 1887. Why our law . saw fit to deprive the people ef Darlington of the enjoyment of a privilege granted every one else la the State, remains to be seen. la ear opinion an ex tens! on of than for the payment of taxes is s doubtfal policy; hot the indulgence If granted to one pitisea should be granted to ell. As we noderstsnd it, the sdveostee of an extension of 1 it on two grounds: 1. In that a larger percentage of taxee may be collected for the State; Sale order that some indulgence may be granted . those who fail to aake payment at the proper time. The percentage of tbe taxes col looted in some other counties which will eq)oy the benefits of this ex- la Just as high as that which collected in Darlington. V we are to be deprived of this privilege simply on the ground that the Treasurer has collected pboot aO the taxee it is possible for him to get, then it seems to ns that the interacts of the private individual ed Free Trader in bis native State. He is oee who not only has convic tions, but who possess tbe courage end ability requisite to maiutain them. A Deserved Compliment. In the last number of the Amer ican Law Review, a periodical which is a re oguised authority all over the country, we find tbe following reference made to tbe meeting of the South Carolina Bar Association which was held in December, 1886: “Tbe Committee on Education for and Admission to the Bar made a very able report, urging that a liberal general education is an im portant prerequisite to admission, as also at least three years of pre paratory study. They insisted that the limit of age be advanced and the proo/f of good moral character should be fuU and satisfactory. Bet ter still, they arged that the training of tbe aspirant for admission should be tested by a rigid and thorough written examination, so conducted as to make collnsiou and cramming imposaible. But one examination a year should be made and that by examiners selected for members of the Legislature favor ing a toil on tee in the College had united on Senators Edwards and Sligh as their candidates.” The five members elected on tbe first ballot are entirely in accord with tbe present Board, while the *nbse- quent election of Messrs. Coker and Henry was also considered a Col lege victory. On the 24rh instant, at 3 o’clock A. M., the Ceneral Assembly ad journed sine die. A briet resume of wtiat the Leg islature has done and what it has not done is uow in order. Au Act was passed providing for the estab lishment of two stations, one in tbe upper and the other in the lower part of the State where agricultural experiments are to be conducted. This measure appears to have been adopted as a sort of a compromise for the agricultural college which was to have been founded. But little of tbe much talked ot retrench ment and reform was carried out, for tbe simple reason that, just as we predicted, when the new Legis lature assembled, the large number of useless expenses about which so much bad been said were found to be more imaginary than rval. Thus it is thut the appropriaiiou bill is abotD as I urge as ever. Tbe only salary reduced was that of Maj L A Ransom, tbe clerk to the Coin- (bisrioner of Agti uiture, who is acknowledged to fie one of tbe ablest and most efficient employees whom tbe Siate has over had. Free Tuition lias been established in the Sooth Carolina College, but the bill was finally passed in such a modi fled form as to seriously impair tbe intention with which it was framed. Tbe appropriation for the Citadel is larger than that made by tbe last Legislature, and, it we mistake not, the college appropiiatiou is also in creased. The Colombia Canal has been abandoned, a rather doubtful policy in view of all (he money which the State has already spent upon it. The reorganization of the Depaitment ot Agriculture has not been accomplished, and the phos phate royalty remains as it was be fore. Tbe usual appropriation was made for the militia, and for almost everything else for which it is usual to make appropriations. Col, Edwards, our Stale Senator, returned home on Friday. He thinks that thq Legislature should have takeu a recess until alter Christmas, as, in ids opinion, they did not by any means finish ah they ought to have done. Col. Edwards nays that both of our Trial Justices, Mr. H. K. P. Sanders ami Mr. C. P. Dargan, have been reappointed bv the Gov ernor, and that R. W.'Boyd, Esq., has been reap|H>iHted a member ot the State Board ot Examiners. On Christmas Day Asher D. Cohen, Esq., a leading lawyer of Charleston, received accidentally a dangerous wound while hunting partridges with a party of friends. Great excitement has been crea ted in tbe ranks of tbe Knights of Labor at Amsterdam, N. Y., by the publication iu the Daily Democrat, of all tbe secrets of tbe Order and the tbe modeoi initiation. Ou Sunday alteruoon promen- aders in Charleston witnessed the unpleasant sight of a corpse float ing ou tbe water ofl South Battery. It proved to be the body ot a white man who is supposed to have been accidentally drowned while under tbe influence of liquor. On tbe 22ud inst, David Brun son, tbe nine-year old son of Mr. R. B. Brunson, of Marion County iu attempting to alight from a male which be bad been riding got his toot entangled in the stirrup. The mnled.isbed off and kicked the suspended boy so severely as to fracture his skull, killing him in stantly. Notice. Tbe Darlington M«le Ao.deaty is to re- ••me work on Montl.j, J.uusry 3, 1837.

THE COLLEGE TRUSTEES. So noble lathe oharaoter of the Hob. W. O. Coker, and iu snob high esteem is be Ipld throughout the length aod breadth of Sooth Caro- tea, that it aaema almost needless for na toaay that in electing him a ■amber of the Board of Trustees tbe Legiriatnre has done a good tfaing for the College. ' Bat no better evidence it needed of tbe toot that the Legiriatnre did ant have the welfare of the College tatlretj at heart than their failure to re elect R. W. Boyd, Keq. Full ni seal tor bit abas water, he baa devoted an his well-known energy pad ability to tbe advancement of bar intereato daring tbe many yean la which be has served ana mem- bar of tbe Board- He is suited tor tea position in eo marked a degree that his friend* and the friend* of adopted, and step* were taken to se- I cure tbe passage of laws needful to effect these reforms.’’ The report referred to was pre pared by R. W. Bovd, Esq., of tbe Darlington Bar. A* tbe outgrowth of this report a bill embodying its suggestions is now pending before the Legislature, which, if adopted, will put so end to tbe present meth od of examiuiug applicants for ad mission to tbe Bar. The Legitlatarc Ou the 22oil instant, Farmer Till man’s bill to reorganize the Depart ment of Agriculture was killed in tbe Honae: aa also was the dog- license bill. At a Joint Assembly bill on tbe 22ud instant, .Ho’' Joseph J. Nor ton, of Ooonee, was elected Judge of the Eighth Oircnit, vice Hon. J. 8 Cothran, resigned. Col. Norton was a gallant Confederate soldier, who lost his lett arm at the battle of Fredericksburg. He ia a cour teous gentleman, and has the rep- utation oi being (ne of the most learned lawyers in the Eighth Cir enit. Tbe Joint Assembly then proceeded to the election of seven trustees of the Sooth Carolina Col lege. Of tbe fourteen (tersous placed in nomination, three, Messrs. R. W. Boyd, W. 0. Coker and B.

(Columbia Kt-gisfrr.) Anything that looks like accotn dating the public at die bands of our railroad managements the Reg ister is always ready to recognize and heartily commend. The new schedule of the South Caroliua Road between Columbia and Camden looks like business It uill be seen in our columns that hereafter a train will leave Co lutnbia at 7.40 A. M. and 5.05 P. M. aud run through to Camden. A train will leave Camden at 7.45 A. M. aud 3.15 P. M., and run through to Columbia. Such accommodation is surely all that could be ex|>ected ol any road, aud it affords the Register much pleasure to recognize it as an im portant step to putting Columbia in couuection with tbe Eastern part of the State so Jar as the South Car olina Road can effect it. So far so good. Now let the Coast Line come lul ly along side and give ua ail the ac commodatiou it can possibly afford. Toe tram througn from Wudesboro 1 for Columbia is a decided step in tbe right direction. Let Columbia show tbe faith that is in her by sinking for a growth of trade with the East. Ten years from to-day will show iu that important section of tbe gtate an industrial outcome which shall put a new coin plexiou on the face of things throughout tbe State. Now. if Congressman Perry will interest himse.lt to give us lull mail facilities on the 1 o’clock P. M. Wadesboro’ special, he will confer a great business favor ou tbe sections at interest which Vill . not be for gotten. A Mail Improvement Suggested. (Columbia Cor. New* and Courier.) The people of Cheraw, Darling ton, Florence am) elsewhere along the line are greatly pleased with the way trains from Columbia to Wadesboro’ run, but are anxious to have a mail ageut put ou lietween Columbia and Florence If this was done they would get their mail from Columbia nearly twenty-four boura earlier tbau by the present arrangement. This could be effee led either by letting tbe mail ageut from Wadesboro’ to Florence run through to Columbia, or by allow ing tbe conductors on the way trains to carry a mail pouch from Colum bia to Florence, aa is now done on the freight trains between Florence aud Cberaw. News Items Ou Sunday atieruoon James E. Davia, a promiueut young lawyer of Barnwell, was shot down in the streets of that town by W. A. Owens, aud was probabb faulty wounded.
