THE BLAIR EDUCATIONAL BILL
B/ far the moat important meaa-
nre which will b« prewnted to Cod-
gross at its present session is the
Blair Educational Bill. In order
that oar readers may be made fam
iliar with this great measure, an
abstract of its provisious, together
with an able defenoe of it by a die
tiuguished Soot hern educator, are
pabtished elsewhere. Of all the
defences of tbs Bill which it has
been oar good fortsae to read, this
is by for tits most coaclnsive, and
wa restore the asertion that any ot
ear readers who may he in doubt
as to the expediency of the measnre
will be indobitable conrinced by
this soaad and practical reason-
tag.
The foudimental principals of the
BIB on briefly these: For the
next sight years the total sam of
$7f,B0(^00B, to be derired from the
•aiasof eortaia paMia loads, will
bo appropriated by the United
eernmeat to educational
throagboat the rarions
i and territories, in porportion
to the illiteracy which prerails la
them roepectirely j prorlded that
no state or territory shall receire
in nay year aa amoant greater then
the a meant expended oat of its
own reran see in the preceding year
for the malataiaadcs of its public
schools. Since Booth Carolina, in
prsybrtioa to her population, is the
Boat Illiterate state or territory in
tho Union with the exception of
Bow Mexico, It la probable that
her quota each year from this fond,
wKh thof restriction aboro men-
liaaod, weald bo exactly equal to
tho amoant expended by the State
geecmaMot for school purposes;
then, should tho Bill become a law,
wo weald receire from tho nation*
al gorornmeat next year 1549,807,
hosidsa a considerable sum, provid
ed for ta tho Blair Bill for tho build
ing of school houses. In other
words, should this Bill pass the
Doaee thssohools la the State would
bojtept open exactly twice as long
as they are now.

and her population South Carolina

any Stats la the Union. For the
eqaal education of white and black
alike, tbs property owners, that is,
the white people of tho State, hare

Columbia, February 17.—Spe

wra prepared by tbe board, and is

Marion, February 11.—Special:
The case ot tbe town council of
Marion against Dr. R. L. Brown
for a violation of an ordinance of
the town, has been the topic of
conversation here for the last week
About the
firm of E. L.
10th day of January a
Brown k Co, opened
n store here for the ostensible pur
pose of carrying on a general drug
bnsiness, and also for the purpose
of supplying an alleged demand
here for the sale of whiskey for
purely medicinal uses. Previous
to that Urns there were three drug
stores here, all doing n very good
business, but none of which bave
ever deemed it necessary to supply
the so called long-felt want of hav
ing a place of business where liquor
could be dealt out for medicinal
purposes. These druggists are all
gentlemen of high character and
rank, socially among the best peo
pie of eastern South Carolina. The
local option election of 1884, was
carried by a good majority in'favor
of “no license,” and a provision
waa soon inserted by the Legisla
ture in tbe charter of the town
prohibiting tbe sale of liquor with
in its cor orate limits for a period
of twenty years. The druggists
with one accord determined to
throw no obstne’es in the way of
the oomplete success of the opera
tion of the nc license law, and per
•intently refused to keep whiskey
for sale. This action of the drug-
gists has been fully vindicated in
the history of he town since 1884,
and to day the sentiment of the
people is more largely in favor of
co tinuing oar present “dry re
gime” than it ever was before.
Whiskey has b eu sol I here tea
small extent '*uu<ier the rose,” but
any impartial observer acquainted
with the history of the place can
not fail to uote tbe vast improve-
•tent in the morality of toe people,
the diversion of trade into healthier
channels and the wealth of the
citisen* sab tautially increased
There h>ts been nothing to mar the
success, or to prevent tbe silent
growth of prohibition priuetplet
among the people of tbs town, ex
cept the occasional arrest of a
clandestine violator of the law, or
tbs uutreqnent evasions ot tbs
same. 8o that when tbe firm of R.
L. Brown A Co., opened a drug
ore and procured a license fro
the United States authorities to sell
whiskey, all ayes wore naturally
tamed toward tho conduct of tho
new firm’s career. Suspicious wers
soon afloat that svsrything waa
not beiug managed aa a drug stors
abonltl be in a dry town.
Last Monday (stlasday) there
was more dron ken uess on oar streets
than there has been in n longtime.
Tbe town authorities bad :o employ
two marshals to keep order, la
tbe afternoon of that day Dr. Browa
was arrested and brought before
the town authorities charged with
selling whiskey unlawfully. For
some reason the trial of the esse
wan postponed notil yesterday
Tbe defendaut appeared before tbe
oouuctl, represented by Gen. Harl
lee and Junins H. Evans. Dr.
Brown’s attorneys moved that tbe
caee be dismissed on the ground
that ths council bad no jorindiction.
The charter of tbe town of Mariou
provides that all who are brought
np before the council for a violation
of ita ordinances aha l bave all the
rights and privileges of an offender
in n trial justics eomt. The de
fendant was charged with selling
whiskey unlawfollj, an offence not
cognizable in a trial jnsttce court,
and consequently beyond the jnris-
diction of ths council, n tribunal
npon whieh tbe statute confers
only ths Jorisdietion of a trial Jus
tice. This position was overruled
by the council, and they then pro
ceeded to empanel a Jury which the
defendant demanded.
The council was represented by
Mr. O. A. Woods. A number of
witnesses were examined, ll was
proved and admitted by Dr. Brown,
who rays he is a graduate of tbe
Charleston Medical Cellsgs of tbe
Claae of 1888, that he prescribed
for parties whom be did not visit
and whom he had never seen in
bis life. Since the 10th of January
be bad filled 101 prescriptions lor
wniskey straight, and out of that
uuuper he wrote 87 figures which
go to show that he has vaulted into
a wonderfully Liras practice since
he has been here, and that be has
unbounded faith in tbs curative
properties of “simoupare” whiskey.
And yet he admitted that altboagh
he bad been iu a number of eases
called in as an attending physician
at the bedside of ths sick, be hsd
accepted but two of tbe calls. Tbe
case was ably argued ou both sides.
The ioteudauf, Mr. E. H. Gasqne,
charged the jury clearly aod to i be
point, tolling them, in anbntaooe,
that if Dr. Brown filled bis own
presoriptienn for whiskey knowing
when he wrote them that ho wan
not in actual bona fide attendance
upon tbe patient as his regular
physician, as the law in rat h cases
requires, be waa amenable to the
law and should ba punished.
The jury retired and promptly
returned a verdict of guilty. Dr.
Brown was sentenoed to pay a flue
of 8100 or go to jail for thirty days
Tbe defendant’s counsel give no
tice of appeal. Other eases against
Dr. Brown will be tried soon invol
ving the same charge.
Raise Year Own Hogs.
(Fr«m tkt Nows Mil Courier.)
Capt J. A. Peterkin, the well
known planter from Orangeburg
Comity, was in the city yesterday,
lie can always say something that
is interesting and instructive in re
gard to agricultural matters.
In conversation with a represen
tative of Tbe ilfara ood Courier yes
terday, Capt Peterkin said that
there was no doubt in bis mind that
aa fine tobacco can be raised in
South Carolina as In any other
State in the Union. The soil and
climate and conditions of tempera
tare are all elements in favor ot the
Crop in this State, when it is culti
vated with the care that would or
dinarily be bestowed niton other
crops.
Capt Peterkin also said that
there is only one other place iu the
world, and that is one of the lam
ing districts of England, where as
fine meat can be produced as in
Sootb Carolina. The hogs that we
raise here are slops, sre jnst like
slop bogs that are grown anywhere
else, and there ia no difference iu
flavor of the meat of corn fed hogs
elsewhere. But the ordinary (arm
rai.-ed meht iu thi-« Slate is super
ior to anything of the kind produc
ed anywhere else. Our bogs here
fatten on crab-grass ; they are gra
zers, and the food that they get
makes their meat very sweet and
ot a most c ptivatiug flavor. Our
home raised side meat always has a
streak of lean and a streak of fat,
while the Northwestern meat is
nothing bat a mass of fat.
The pity ot it is that greater at
tention is not paid to meat raising
by the farmers of this State. In
one of his ecstacies of sense Henry
Grady recently exclaimed : “Why
is ft we oannnot buy now the sweet,
old lash oned country ham t Judgd
Samuel Lumpkin lately sent to thtf
writer a half dozen from his private
smoke house of tbe vintage of 1884,
ibat are simply poems in ashes.
Any self-respecting pig would havs
died gladly to have been so idealis
ed. In these bams yon catch the
flavor of the amoks of tbs half-oov-
ered osk ships sbovs which they
drifted with tbe seasons into per
faction. And the rod gravy, dear,
consistent, fiavorous; it is such
gravy as yon used to find oa yoar
mother’s table when you same brase
from a long day’s hunt ia the De
•ember wiad. 1 woold rather b.tvs
a smoke-boaoe with hn loamy floor,
iUdwrksued ratters, its rod pspper
pods, iu fostooas ot sausage, odor
•us of sage, and • hundred such
hams i> us pended between earth and
roof, like nmatl Mabometa, than a
cellar of dust-begrimed bottles of
Madeira 01*24.”
Capt Peterkin raises his own
meat. He thinks that smoke ratk-
or spoils its flavor, and believes in
earing it after another old fashion,
which makes it sweet sad tender
the whole year round. What Capt.
Peterkin succeeds in d< iag on his
model farm in Orangeburg earn like
wise be done on every other well-
conducted form In this State.
When tbe time cornea that every
farmer raises bis own meat and
provisions, thou will Sooth Caroli

tern nmoke bouses and Chicago

Washington Letter.
(Froo Our Regular CorrespeadeBt.)
Waekiogtea, Fab. 17tk, ’88
Daring the present session of
Congress, which has been in session
n little over two months more than
8200 bills h ive been introduced in
the Boose of Representatives. Not
owe fortieth of them have passed,
and before final attyoaniment, the
number of bills presented and re
ferred will probably bave reached
twice that number.
Tbe life of a Congressional bill is
rather interacting. To give yon
some idea of the red tape that a
bill most encounter, it is only ne
cessary to any that a fall-grown
bill mast be printed six times, and
mast pass throngh ths bauds of at
least twenty five persona before it
ean be numbered with the laws of
the land.
The Hoase Judiciary Committee
has ordered a taverable report on
the Senate bill to refund the direct
taxes collected daring the late civil
war, with an amendment providing
that money so collected shall be re
stored to the rigbtfnl owner. There
ia little doubt of tbe passage of thia
act.
Blaine’s letter is varionsly view
ed both by Democrats and Repub
licans. The former place little
faith ia his sincerity, white those of
the latter who are unfriendly to the
Oaforatious of the men from Maiue
arYmore than willing to take him
at his word. On the other hand,
tbe ardent sapporters of Mr. Blaine
ore hoping that there will be a re
action in bis favor, which will ap
parently make the candidacy of
their favorite • necessity.
Aa a result of the retirement of
Blrine, there are a number of Presi
dential booms, among which may
be mentioned Senators Hawley,
Sherman, AHiaou, as wt II ae Gre
sham and General Sheridan. In
fact tbe Republicans in Congress
are now thinkiag more of Prosl-
dentmakiug than of legislation.
At last the so-called “everlasting
Blair bill” has again passvd the
Senate tbietiuie by a vote of 39 to
29. It baa lieeu iu three Con greas
es now, and has occupied much
valuable live, whieh its enemies
say will lie to no purpose. Its into
iu tbe House is problematical, but
most ot tbe Democrats voted
against it before, and the longer
the bill has been thought of npd
talked of ihe weaker it baa grown.
The last vote upon it by the Senate
was not no strong as ths vote of
two years ago.
The Premdent and party are ex
pseted to make their flying trip to
tbe Land Of Flowers early next
week. They will not be sbeent
quite oue week.
A Summary of the Blair Bill.
The bill appropriates annually
for eight years the following same
to be “expended to secs re the bene
fit of common school education to
all children of school age, living in
the United States.”
First year, 87,000,000; second
year, 110,000,000; third year, $15,-
000,000; fourth year, 813.000,000;
filth vear, $11,000,000; sixth year,
89,000,000 j aev« nth, 87,000,000;
eigbthyear,80,000,000. Tbemoneyis
to be divided among tbe several
States and Territories and the Dis
trict ot Columhfi in proportion toil-
literacy—'beoompotatioitobemada
according to the oensas of 1880,
and (atterwards) 1890. There are
to be separate schools for white nnr
colored children. No State of Ter
ritory is to receive the money under
tbe Act until its Governor shall
have filed with tbe secretary of the
interior a statement si owing the
common school system in force in
the State, th** atuou t of money
expended during the preceding
school year for the support of com
mon schools; the number ot white
aod colored children between the
ages of 10 aD'l 21 j the number of
schools in ojieratiou. average at
tendance of scholars, Ac. No
•mount is to be paid to any State
or Territory in any year greater
than tbe amoant expended oat ot
its own reveoaes ia tbe preceding
yesr for the maintenance of com
mon sobooN. No part of the fund
is to be n*ed for tbe erection or
rent of schools buildings, hat no
additional fund of $2,000,009 is to
be allotted in tbe first year for
rahool houses, either for construe-
non or renting; in sparsely popu
lated districts not more than $100
for each building.
