Where Honor Is Due, In dealing with public matters ft newspaper should be equally ready to praise as to blame when jnstiQed by circumstances, and we feel that the town council of Kingstreo is entitled to hearty commendation for *"7" its action Monday night in revising the 6chedulo of licenses so that in future the burden of taxation will be more equally distributed. In thia expression of approval we feel that we voice the sentiment of a large majority of the business men of the town, whose attention is called to the proceedings as published 111 another column. Especially do we congratulate tho coancil on the increased license imposed upon street fakers" and "open air kitchens." There is little room in Kingstree for such enterprises; but, if we must have them, they ought to be made to pay a license that will plaoe them on a parity with the merchants who have to bear the heat and burden of the day all the year round. We believe that tho council was actuated by a high sense of duty in its action and it should be given the commendation that it justly deserves. . .-Hshouid be Taught a Lesson, j It's a long lane that has no taming, and the emigration agents who bare plied their vocation in this SbF* _ county without leave or license will - # ... probably be a little more cautious in future when they go up against the laws of the State of South Carolina. Hirir plans of procedure has been to pond out their emissaries (usually negroes) through the county, and when a sufficient number of "hands" were rounder up, to quietly slip them on the train at some conventont milrrnid station. clwfullr chuckling at their shrewdness in evading the law, which prorides that a license of $500 mnst be paid for the privilege of enticing laboraway from the farms. They than take them to the turpentine woods of Georgia and Florida and pay theiF-credulous victims what wages they please. In this way negroes are tempted by the marve'ons tales of the emif gratiou "decoys" to desert their emn-iflinnt. 11 wnrd of warninc. JIIVJCIO n?vuv%*v ? n/ many of them being under contract with and indebted to the farmers on whose places they live and whom they leave without any redress whatever. As will be seen in our news colfof these emigrant agents? an and a negro are now in jf he law, and it remains what will be the outcome es. If these be let off withiment, then the law is' nd a delusion and should j jaSe sag gggggss be wiped off the statute books. In protecting himself against the operations' of these labor free-bootors Mr Wilson haa reudered a public service to every farmer in the State, who is liable to be* molested in the sum? way, aod it behooves every good citizen to second Mr Wilson's efforts to lmve the law respected. i HARPERS HAPPENINGS. A Church Entertainment?O'her Occurrences of a Social and Personal Nature. Harpers, January 19:?On the evening of January 11 an enieitainment was given at the resilience ot Mrs E A Brnotlon for the benelit of the Me hodist church.
