DatlHigtoc County. U «a-> im-
po-ailile to accute an amendment
profi ting for a eiunlar course iu
regard to the new County, the
Jgrgielxlure b ing apparently a t
bent upon passing the imn«ure,
that they treated the subject »t the
conaiituticnality ot the new Ct»un<y
aa of small importance. That it
baa the ncceaaar.v area is extremely
doubtful, however, aa the strong-
rut pdroeatea of the measure esti
mate that it conlaiua only tbiee
square miles in excess ol the con-
atitotional requiremt ut Of the 22
Townships ia old Darlfugfoib eight
bare been cut off entirely and one
jjp part and as some of our largest
townships are in the portion so
cot oft, it is probable that neither
Oat li tig ton nor Fmreiice County
would stand the teat of an official
survey. Thepoitiona of Darling
ton which have been (brown into
.the new County are part of Pal-
iletio Township and the whole ot
Back Swamp, Florence, Tans Bay,
JBAfbgbam, James’ Cross Roads,
Oartersviile, Timmonaville and
Ebeneser. Sc me of our law makers
are of the opinion that the act is
to take effect at once, while there
are others who coute%d that it does
not begiy to operate tntil the fall.
We confess that the terms of the
law are ambiguous; if the Inten*
tiod is, however, for the Act to take
efiect immediately, it will occur to
anyone at a glauee thut endless
COmplicaikNU and annoyances mast
arise.
There are many who view the
rrealt philosophically, and allege
that the formation of the new Conn
ty will not prove aaoh a disaster to
Darlington County after all. We
nUftfts admire any effort which
may for the pur|K)se of
looking on the bright aide of a
public misfortune, aud we sincerely
bope^tnerefkre, that the result may
prove these optimbts to be cor
net
Oar Florence Friends have made
a good fight and have won a glurs
ions victory. While not denying
• the natural ebagrin which we feel
at the result, we extend to them
oar congratulations and express oar
beet wishes tor the prosperity of
the “Baby County.”
DARLINGTON IN THR LEGISLA
TURE.
A survey ot the recent legislature
feacted by the General Assembly
affords the people of Darlington
two eacses for congratulation.
First, (just as was the case last
year,) Charleston is the only Coun
ty In the State which will have
lower taxes for the coming year
than Darlington, and Charleston
ean scarcely be considered with
the other counties iu this mutter
from the fact that the city aud
Muwty of Charleston are well uigh
tint same thing, and the municipal
taxes are snffioemly heavy to offset
any reduction which may be made
in the levy for State aud Couuty
purposes. The levy for Dariiugtcn
turihesoming fiscal year is 10i
mills, while that for Union, the
highest iu the State, is 15}, more
than half as much again as the
Darlington levy.
Tbs second cause for congratula
tion is to bfejeund in the fact that
DarHugton distinguished itself, as
usual, in the modest demands which
it ssade upon the time of the Gen
eral Assembly. With three excep
tions, namely, the Supply Bill, the
tl'Xaw'Oouuty Bill aud tin measure
providing for a uew Graded School
at the Court Bouse, uo legblatiou,
us (ar'os we cot learn, woe enacted
mr Darlington, or for any ot her
■iWacha. There is no Couuty in
the State which cau show such a
tveord as tbit, aud if they could ail
any aa maeh, the Legislature would
tvs accomplished its work easily
ek instead of rushiug thiougb
i it at high pressure for thirty
leaving the belter
it unaccomplished. The
from the other s«*o.ious
tbo bails of legislation
bills roferriug to
. it matters in their
'Counties, could not do
deroverllie example
tax of 10}
above, those who
vMniiy of the
be required to
for tbs sup-
Schools.

Columbia, December 18.-Piac
ticall v the entire session of the Sen
ate to-day was occupied with the
diseussion of the Clemson college
bill, which was the first special or
der and came up fifteen minutes
after the meeting.
The bill bad been reported with
out recommendation.
Senator Edwards opened the de
bate with a speech tor the measure.
He said that more than a quar
ter of a century ago the United
States Govercment took s.eps iu
the line offonteriug the agricultur
al interests of this country. Twen
ty yeais ago ibis pujpose was in
corporated into our oiganie law.
The course of education and of edu
cators is progressive iu the line of
practical education, and we are
begiuuing io learn that all tduca
tiou and development are embrac
ed in the behest Hu the sweat of
thy face shaft thou eat bread.” But,
said the Senator, without discus
sing the benefits of a*’iicnlttiial
training and its influence oh moral
and religious devnlopmen’, shall
we accept the Clem-on bequ est 1
I am iu favor of it because it will
give us a start tor au agricultural
college. Hitherto we have object
ed to it o.. the ground ot exp use.
Now we only ask for 83,000 ; and
by accepting tue bequest we secure
>100,000 worth of property if the
will stands, and it the litigant re
covers the real estate we shall have
at least a portion of the personal
property. If we wait on litigation
we shall lose all.
it is the duty of tue State to ac
cept the bequest so ms to give her
mraol support to the effectuation
of the wishes of Mr. Clemsou. The
personal property at least was the
huit of his industry, aud knowing
that his granddaught* r whs well
provided tor mid giving her >15,000
nior.', he desired that the balance
slum d betaken and supplemented
by the State for the benefit of In r
farmer boy*, it whs his own,
and for South Carolina to refuse to
accept is to defeat his t hilauthro
pic p: rpnse aud disappoint his
wi-bes, without helping hi- grand
daughter. For, ii the will stand-,
it g- es to the trustees if the Slate
does uot accept.
There i* no good reason for re
fusing to accept it Senators favor
tin agricu tuial college at all. VYe
arc HUtHgO'iizmg no other institi;-
II oi, mid do not p’Cpose so to do.
I do not wi*-> to be reported ns say
ing-‘I am a im ud to tin* Soirh
Ctroliua University.” That would
imp y a etni-cious:! ,»s id apparent
antagonism which needed explana
tion. ••Truth huh le tter deed.-
thati wnuis io giuce it.” i »pp- at
to .Senator* to sa> Io das * lie her
my former coins* h i* uotresulud
for (he benefit ot the University, a»
1 hen predicted it would. 1 am
as well saiisti d that the lustiur
tiou 1 now advocate will but quick
en aud stimulate the miud ot youth
and ben fit all othei institution* ol
learning.
We need agr cultural and t eh
noiogtea! cultuie to develop cor
sotuces. Our State abound- in
hidden riches and undeveloped re
source*, which will respond only to
general aud diversified education
Th» greatness ot a State is ex
pressed in one of two ways. It may
manifest greatness by he develop
ment of a few strong, leading men,
and the concentration of wealth
aud power, in its attitude towards
the outside worl I. Or it may be
great in the distribution of wealth
and education, elevating the mass
es. D’lsraeli wig th-* advocate of
the one and Gladstone of the other.
Train all the masses and yon digni
fy the people and make the State
irally gr*at-
Another reason why we should
Accept is that by so doi >g the State
will become the owner of the es-
tate of her greatest statesman. It
was (he design of the donor that
the Slate should own that residence
and piesetve it with its ftiruiture
aud books, aud portraits and me
mentoes ol her meat Calhoun. And
it is the duty of the S'are to put
herseli in posit! n to aid the douor
iu ( fleeting this worbv purpose.
And it we succeed in buildiug up
au institution of learning here, it
wilt be a place where our yourg
men will imbibe seutimeuts of pa
triotism ai d devotion to the true
prieiplvg of republican govermurnt.
it was Calhoun who a.-'voiated the
preset van >n of con set vat ism in the
State G .vernmeu' by giving to the
State Senate aud House a mutual
check on ea -h other. It was he
who lovrd th« whole State; aud,
receiving inspiration from him
whose home will even suggest high
sta« sman.-hip aud virtuous man
hood, will make wise pati totic citi
zens.
