Tbs financial stringency continues in
this community with little abatement of
its rigor. Business has improved some
during the holidays. the genial season
having induced an opening Of the purse
strings. Cotton, too, has advanced a
little, and was firm and in demand at
fourteen cents yesterday. The diff
culties which still beset US and cripple
commercial operations are the indispo-
siison on tine part OF holders TO accept
the present prices Of cotton. and the
tight grasp with which those who have
money persevere in boarding it. There
is manifest lack OF confidence, and
things are in that degree abnormal.
tight and decidedly trying to the pa
tienoe. Money is withdrawn from cir.
culation too much. The long oontinu.
ance of this spirit has begun to tell un-
favorably on the prospects of our mer-
chants and others who have Ind banking
recommendations. The banks will fnd
it difficult to extend their favors much
longer in justice to themselves. One Of
the great difficulties. it seems to us. is
the deficiency in the amount of cur
rency. In being scarce, it becomes un-
reasonably and unhealthily high. Let
US hope that we shall have some i'm
provement in the financial situation be-
fore the end of this month, and that
our merchants nnd others in straits
will successfully tide over this period Of
peculiar trial.

There is prospect OF change in the
direction OF European immigration. and
Southern ports seem likely to come in
for fair proportion. The Boston Post,
in an article upon this subject, says that
the prime cause of this is not 80 much
the immediate promise of favorable con-
d'tions under which to colonize as the
demand for reliable labor. and the
movement is, therefore, strongest in
those States where employers OF oil
sorts have lost confidence in the old ln-
bor Glasses. The Post adds, that the
freedmen had abandoned honest indus
try for politics, and different class
must take their place, until the false no
tions which carpet-buggers have incui-
Gated are dissipated, and they learn that
work is the universal condition Of honest
living.

1t is just given out that the 18th
January is the limit after which the
penalty will attach to those ualucky tax
payers who may not be able to make
their tax payments by that date. It has
been usual, and We believe was the law,
that notice should be given by the State
Auditor to the County Auditors of the
rate OF taxes to be collected. After a
few days time within which to get
ready, the Treasurers were expected to
have their Offices open, aud to be ready
to receive on the Goth November. It
was only u proper consideration for the
taxpayers, that they had from that time
till 18th January to make their arrange
ments. Owingto the peculiar circum-
stances of the country and the necessity
OF waiting on the Legislature, the law.
which requires the Auditor to give no.
tice OF the rate of taxes before 10Th No
vember, has been repealed. No notice
has, therefore, been served on any ono;
no publications have appeared upon the
subject. And yet it is said. that tho
Treasurers will proceed to collect with
ont this notice. Now, why is this so2
Is it accidental or designed? Is tax
payer required to know the day when he
must pay taxes, and govern himself ac.
oordingly? This is one OF those praoti-
cal abuses which little foresight and
good judgment might have prevented.
The tax is disagreeable enough, without
any such unnecessary licks as this
thrown in. In fact. ON several grounds,
the tux ought TO DO extended 10 the raj
OF March. The heavy burden ought tc
be made to fall as lightly as possible on
the people.

The Act to establish q College at Co.
iunbia was passed Il, Dss5sshmber Dss5sshmber. 1901.
It authorized the Tfdstees to draw cut
Of the Treasury $50, 900. to be appropri.
ated to- the erection of suitable build.
ings, ;aud $4,000 yearly, to pay the
sAle.iss I! tie Faculty. Il !eea aHia:
1903. Acts were passed which author
ized the Commissioners, having author
ity to dispose OF the public land in Co.
lumbia, to convey certain squares to the
Trustees Of the College. In 1904. the
exercises of the College were fairly en-.
tered upon. Very early in it's history.
in1811, an ACT was passed authorizing
the Commissioners OF the Orphan House
in the city Of Charleston to select an
nually one youth from the number edu-
Gated and maintained on the bounty OF
that institution, to complete his eduOa-
ton at the College. and for which pro-
per sum was provided out OF the State
Treasury. subsequently, in 1s4l, pro.
vision Was made for the expenses of two
students in the College sent from the
Orphan House. The young man en-
ployed to ring the: College bell was also
allowed his board in commons as COM
pensation for his services. These were
the only positive and direct educational
advantages conferred upon those in
needy circumstances in those early days.
But they bore rich fruit. and tho State
has been honored with the services OF
several distinguished men who were the
recipients OF this bounty, and who have
amply justified the wisdom Of comforting
it.
In 1846, Col. John l.. Manning led
the way in setting the example of en-.
dowing scholarship out of his private
funds. For this he received the thanks
OF the Board of Trustees, as we'll for the
muni6cence OF the donation as for the
influence it was expected to exercise in
giving right direction to the public
charity OF the citizens of the State.
Other scholarships were subsequently,
established by Col. Wade Hampton,
Hiram Hutchinson, Esq, and two by
Hon. R. f. w. Allston. There was
active competition to secure the benefits
of these prizes, and those who filed
them were generally amongst the stu
deuts mort distinguished for applica.
ton, :loss OF learning and enthusiasm in
its pursuit.. Besides ethese positions,
which secarsd support and education
for their inoumbsnts, it was seldom the
case. during the long period of its most
active usefulness, that there were not as
many in the College who were aided by
their friends and relatives to secure the
great boon Of its advantages. Such
were the scholarships which it was pro-
per to found, and which were followed
py inestimable benefits TO the commu-
nifty in the talents, virtues and energies
Of those who, we're bred in them for the
public service.

PRoMETHEUs BOUND. Stretched on
the cold rook, racked by the engines of
torture and vengeance, yea bound as
Prometheus and eaten piece-meal by
voraciou vultures, the ''links of the
lame Lemnian fostering in tho flesh"
such is the condition of our once proud.
spirited Palmetto sister. It is speota-
Gle to make angels weep. when brave
people are hopelessly trodden in the
dust. How sad must it be when peo-
pie who nurtured Lowndes, Marion,
a Sumter. McDuftie and Calhoun
supplicate in vain for the boon Of ex-
istence the mercy Of suoh Goths as now
control the destinies of the State. Tho
present status of South Carolina politi.
caily could not we'll be worse. She hns
q proaigate. partisan Governor, an igno-
rant, venal, degraded Legislature, a
Judiciary for the most part as bad AS the
executive and legislative departments.
and nearly all her County and municipal
authorities are on par with those of
the so-calied State. Truly she is in a
pitiable condition. Truly she needs the
sympathy OF all men. Truly she de-
serves to be relieved by some hand of
the intolerable burdens that oppress her
and vassalize her intelligent citizsns.
As the friend of freedom, the friend of
the sore oppressed, the friend Of South
Carolina, We devoutly trust that the
cunning and might of the Divine Hand
may find delivcrance for these people.
