The School Commissioner Answers the Inquiry Made by a Correspondent. Editor Darlington News: I notice in your issue of the 23 inst. that a correspondent from Jasper asks why some of the school districts can pay cash while others have to discount their pay certificates. The on ly record of the appropriation and apportionment of the school funds prior to my own official record is for the year 1892. This record shows a very small cash balance brought over to some of the districts while others have from one half to two thirds of their apportionment brought over as cash balance. The re cord of 1893 shows a gain to nearly all the districts. The only explantation that I see is that the school distiicts have been allowed to use more money than has been apportion ed them. This apportionment is made according to the num ber of students enrolled in the respective districts. Therefore, I have recommended that the several boards of trustees cur tail their appropriation to the schools in such districts as are in arrears until the whole coun ty is placed upon a cash basis. It has been the custom here tofore to take part of the cash belonging to one district and use it in districts that had very liltle cash, which custom we have decided is wrong. If the board of trustees in any district have so interested themselves as to have their finances in good condition, then they should have the benefit of the same. The books of the school com missioner’s office are open to any and all citizens who wish to inspect them. A. J. A. Perritt, School Commissioner Darlingtoni S. C., 27 Nov, 1893. WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE ? The City of Council of Sumter Prohib* its "Blind Tiger*.” [Sumter Herald, Nov. 21.] Last Monday the county board of control and the city council couferred together over the question of city au thorities lending their assistance in- enforcing the dispensary law. A communication was recently sent^to the city council by the board of control asking their co-operation in this matter. Af ter the matter had been dis cussed, the following special or dinance was passed : “Be it ordained and enacted by the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Sumter in City Council assembled and by au thority of the same, & “That from and after the date of this Ordinance, it shall not be lawful for any person to bar ter or sell or dispose of any spirituous or malt liquors with in the corporate limits of the City of Sumter, and any person violating this Ordinance, upon conviction thereof may be fined not more than fifty dollars, or be imprisoned in the in the city prison not more than thirty days, for each offence. “Provided: That this Ordi nance shall not apply to sales of spirituous or malt liquors sold under the dispensary system of South Carolina.” METHODIST CONFERENCE. An Opportunity for Darlingtonlant to Attend Without Much Coat. On Sunday, December 10, Mr. J P. Gibson, of Bennettsville, will run an excursion from Gib son to Sumter and return, furn ishing an opportunity for all to attend the South Carolina Meth odist Conference which con venes in 'the ^ity of Sumter. Bishop Hargrave, Drs. Barbee, Hoss and other prominent min isters will preach and lecture on that day. The train will leave Mont Clare at 8 a. m; Syracuse, 8.30; Lamar, 8.45; Elliott’s, 9; St Charles, 9.10; Oswego, 9.25; arriving at Sumter 9.40. The fare from all points in Darling ton County will be $1. for the round trip. Returning the train will leave Sumter at 10.30 p. m., thus furnishing an opportunity of attending three separate church services. There will be plenty of room and splendid ac commodation and everybody should go. Tickets will be on sale by regular agents; passen gers at flag stations will pay the fare to the conductor. adv. THE COUNTY SEAT. Our Correspondent Again Attempt* to Argue the Question. Editor Darlington News: As you prized my article of the 13th enough to publish it and then did me the honor to criticise it I venture to make a few more statements in reply to your criticism. Did Florence ask Darlington for the strip that she got? If 1 remember right The News acted as if it wished Florence to ask, but this was not done. That is about the way we propose to do Chester field, as Florence did us. Harts- ville will be in the centre with the proposed change or about as near as you can find a town. We do not propose to move the present court house and jail but to sell them to the town of Dar lington and apply the proceeds to the erection of the buildings at Hartsville. With the amount realized from the sale of the Darlington buildings and Harts- ville’s contribution I think the change can be made with very little cost to the County. The County will soon have to build a new C. H. any way so why not put it at the right place? I think that with Hartsville’s contribution and the amount realized from the sale of the present jail and court house, it will cost the tax payers less to erect the buildings at Hartsville than to erect a new court house at Darlington which will come wholly out of the tax payers. Just a few facts as to the position of the towns will con vince any one that Hartsville should have the court house. To the south of Darlington we find the Florence line in 4} miles, to the east is Pee Dee river 7 miles the western corner is 30 miles you can readily see that Dar lington ought not have it. The “poor tax payers” are perfectly willing to the change as they do not have much taxes to pay anyhow; it is the rich man that has to pay the taxes for such purposes. I think the entire upper part of the county will support the move to have the location of the County seat changed. X. Hartsville, Nov. 27, 1893. [“X" make* another labored effort in behalf of Hurtaville, but his posi tion remains untenable. The Florence county movement is not parallel to his project. The several counties, from which Florence was formed, were very inconvenient and cumbersome, so many thought, and the new county was made to telievea large area in each of the old counties Our correspondent wishes to relieve only “a narrow strip” and we hardly think that the Legislature.will cut up Chesterfield without Unit county’s consent just in the interest of Harts ville and the "narrow strip,” espec ially when those inconvenienced by the change will far outnumber those benelltteu. He forgets, too, that “it takes two to make bargain” and sup pose that Darlington will not buy the present court house and jail. These buildings were erected for special pur poses and would be of no use to the town except for the purposes for which they are now used. Darlington would have no occasion to buy them aud they would be a dead loss to the county. “X” errs, also, in stating that a new court house will have to be built -oon ; the present one will last for many years to come. Our correspondent tells us something we are glad to hear, viz, that the poor taxpayers “do not have much taxes to pay ; it is the rich man, etc.” This is a remarkable statement coming from the source it does. The political fac tion to which "X” belongs has long made the cry of “the poor downtrod ilen tax payer,” “the poor man pays too high taxes” etc. We are glad to hear from so intelligent a source that there is no foundation for all this hue and cry of high taxes.—Editor The News.
