one of those ill.advised Northern

total State. county and city taxation,
for one wear, exceeded 8 80 per cent.
and the average of the four years is
3. OF ner cent. But even setting the
tax at 81 per cent. is not enough for
the anxious correspondent. He goes

DEATH OF jim 81. MARSHALL,
Eso.-We are panied to learn of the
fatal termination Of the illness of our
friend, to which we alluded in our
last, and which took place on Tuesday
night of the past week.
This Greenville Enterprise says
"The friends of John Il. Marshall,
Esq. will be saddened to learn of his
death, which event took place at his
residence on Rutherford Street, last
night, 18th inst One week ago he
was stricken with paralysis attack
ing the lower part Of his body, from
the abdomen down, rendering that
portion Of bis person entirely useless
and dead. The disease gradually and
rapidly extended TO. the heart and
upper limbs, after which his recovery
was considered impossible, and death
daily expected. He bad many friends
and admirers, and was gentleman Of
education, with literary abilities and
depth of understanding Of superior
character. The Funeral will take
place, tomorrow Afternoon, at the
Presbyterian Church, at 4 o'clock"

they were before tho mitigation of
their penal code, its midness has
wrought such q change that they are
now among the mildest and most
ipeaceable people he has ever seen"
Edward Livingston says that only
five murders have been committed IN
Tuscany for twenty years after the
abolition of the death penalty; while
in Rome, where it was in force, sixty
murders had been committed in that
city and neighbQrhood in three
months.
Sir James Macintosh abolished
capital punishment through the action
of the Courts in Bombay, in 1904
Iu his farewell address TO the Grand
Jury, he says that from "May, 1897.
to May, 1904, there were eighteen
for murder Gin the popula-
tion of two hundred thousand) and
thirteen capital executions. From
May, 1904, to 1911, there were six
for murder. The murders
for the former period were, therefore,
very nearly as three to one to those
in the latter. in which no capital
was inflicted"
Similar results wero in degree ex-
hibited in Prussia, Holland, Denmark,
Michigan, and other countries and
States where capital punishment had
been either in whole or part abolished.
Mr.. Hazard sums up his views of
the condition of things in this city
the result Of observations extending
over half a century-in tho following
words: .... ......s ...:.
I may observe here that for the
last fifty years and more have been
a frequent sojourper in New York,
and that the progress of ideas and
events in that city has led me to fear
that the tendency Of things to a con.
dition bordering on anarchy and a
most reckless disregard Of life will
not be arrested until somo mode Of
for murder is adopted by
the State that is 10 better accordance

tions of very large class of society

SUDDEN AND SAD DEATH,--We re-
gret to announce the sad death of
Mr.. W.P Peterson, an employee in
the Medium office, from meningitis,
on last Monday night, at. the resi-
dence of Mr.. Jas. A. Wright. The
deceased was attacked on the previ-
Gus Monday, and thus in the short
space of one week fell prey to the
destroyer. He suffered greatly at
first, but delirium came to his relief,
and for sveral days before his death
he was unconscious. He received
the best medical treatment at the
hands of his attending physicians
Doctors Yates and Parker, and expe-
rienced all the kind attention that
sympathising friends could offer.
An older brother was near by to
soothe his last moments, and the Rev.
Mr.. Capers, of the Methodist church
visited him daily. .
The deceased was native of Wei:
don, n. c., and had been only a short
lime in this community. He was
but twenty-threo years of age, and
stood we'll in his profession, OF fine
personal appearance and engaging
manners he made many friends DUNG
his short sojourn here He had been
married only six months ago and
leavesa young wife to mourn her IT.
reparable loss. His remains were
taken home by his brother on Mon
day last.

My Dear Sir = My attention has

dressed to James Birnie, which ap-
peared in Greenville paper, in refer
ence to a Railroad to Augusta. Ny
self and others own the Spurtanburg
and Union Road, and in looking at
the map, it strikes me, a connection
from Augusta north might be made,
by Road from Augusta to the Spar
tanburg Road at Shelton's ferry, or
Union, and thence to Spartanburg,
and BY Atlanta Air Line to New
York. T am not familiar with the
localities along the line you propose,
but it looks on the map like q good
straight line, for your company might
be consolidated with the Spartanburg
and Union Road, and with the aid of
subscriptions along the line, together
with mortgage, the Spartapburg
Road being, already completed, the
Road can be completed I would
be glad to hear your views on the
subject ~.

Our Resources with a View to mmi,
grafton. ..-

A joint resolution was passed at the
last session of the Legislature, au-
thorizing the active and efficient
clerks of the two Houses, Messrs.: J..
Woodruff and A. 0. Jones, to report to
that body all the information which
they may be able to obtain with re.
gard to the resources of the State and
the induce ments which they offer to
the immigrant-the report to form
the basis Of some well digested I'm
migration scheme. "''
On this subject Mr.. Henry Spar
nick, the intelligent and able editor
of the Aiken Tribune, says: 1
sFrom recent interview with
Messrs Woodruff and Jones, we learn
that they propose enlisting at once
the services of a cultivated and reli-
able gentleman in each county of. the
State, in the preparation of this work,
and will furnish him with q synoptical
series of inquiries with regard to the
soil, climate, temperature, productions
manufacturing, mechanical and min
ing resources, &c., peculiar to the ter
ritory in which he resides, and re-
quest such further information, sta
tistical and otherwise. relevant to the
subject, as, in his judgment, may con-
duce to the general object in view.
In this way they will be enabled to
supply the Legislature with full re-
ports Of the capabilities Of each coun-
ty and that body can then designate
a responsible commission to collate
them, and present to the world, in a
compact ard apprehensible shape, a
resume of the resources of this State
in the same way as has been done
benefcially in many Northern and
Western States. The work devolved
upon the gentlemen who may be re
quested to undertake it must be done
gratuitously, as no provision for it's
payment has been made, but we can
not doubt that it will be cheerfally
discharged by those who have the
true interests of South Carolina at
heart. and who will be complimented
by such selection. 1t will afford a
grand opportunity of doing good ser.
vice to the State, by making ,jndi,
cious and intelligent representation OF
its resources, as well as by leaving the
Legislature without an excuse for long,
er procrastination in the matter of
legislation looking to the attraction
of immigration to our SOIL" .t

THE STATE TREASURER.

THE STATE IHEASuhEh.
We called on Hon. F. L. Car
dozo, the State Treasurer, who was
as always, very polite and court
eous. He says he has but little
money in the Treasury, and can
pay no claims at present except
school claims-that he will settle
the entire school claims on the first
of next month-that some five
hundred thousand dollars of the
taxes of this State are now held
back by the various County Treas
urers, and that the Attorney-Gen,,:
eral will take steps to force de-
faulters to a settlement. The
