EDGEFIETn

Edgefield county is in bad way.
She had no idea of her condition uItil a
grand jury, which seems to have done its
work tearlessly, investigated the acts of
her officers and report such abuses as they
discover. The affairs of Beaufort county
need looking after, but no grand jury
seems to have the time to investigate
matters here while the treasurer informs
them that the treasury is empty and they
can go without their pay for their labor
But let us see how it is In Edgefeld. The
grand jury in speaking of the county
commissioners say "By the time the pres
tnt Court adjourns there will possibly be
not one dollar left in the treasury for
county purposes, nothing to feed the
paupers, nothing to build bridges, roth-
ing TO pay the expenses of October court,
nothing to pay the trial Justices, nothing
to pay the county officials. All of which
results from having men in office who are
totally devoid o:busincss capacity, utter
~ incompetent and irresponsible. Two
ofthese officials can neither read nor write
The other officer is utterly unfit TO man
age 80 important an Office. It is useless
torecur to the fact that these men were
presented at the last court for incompe-
tency, and your Honor informed some of
the members of the grand jury that they
could not be punished for Incompetence
or be removed except by impeachment y
And the jury add that each pauper costs
thee county at the rate of three hundred
dollars year. This is good for the pau
pers but not 30 good for the taxpayera
Then again they have past indebtedness

cd up which The jury complains of. In
regard to fne clerk of court tho present
ment says "The clerks Office TO day,

81 the late clerk of the court, is in
wretched condition. Hundreds of yalu.
ab6 papers, for recording which said
clerk had received the fees, are still living
Hfirccordcd. The would-be bonds of the
officials for the last few years can scarce
Iy any Of them be found." And then
comes the late Probate Judge indie,

ance in office in not turning over TO the
proper parties large amounts of money,
aggregating several thousand dollars,
paid into his Office. The school commits

GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN

The unseemly threats of restless and
disconterted Republicans ranging from
intimations of impeachment to hints of
open revolt and disaffection have neither
deferred Governor Chamberlain from the
performance of the duties devolving upon
Lin under the pledges of his Inaugural
address, nor prevented him from making
the best interests of the people over WHOM,
lie has been called t. rule, the ultimate
end of all his efforts towards reform.
The opponents of his administration
who have been disappointed in realizing
that he accepted nomination upon that
issue and has taken them at their word.
will not be slow to find out that in pro-
portion to the antagonism of shameless
and corrupt clements that have heretofore
ruled the policy of the State, will the ref
utation of abuse and assault upon one who
has accomplished SO much good for the
common welfare be found in the minds
OF all reasonable men. Gov. Chamber
lain was nominated by the Republican
party OF this State and supported almost
ntirely by the party that nominated him
at time when its name stunk III the
nostrils of all decent and respec ectable men
10y reason of its shameless corruptions
under previous administrations. By rea-
son OF his stern and infexiblo purpose to
redeem the pledges he had made and in
opposition to the spirit Of his own party
Precedents, that have brought so much
dlsrepute to its henchmen, he has rem
dered it so respectable that there is no
longer prohibitory clause to prevent
good men from being enlisted in his sup
port. He has demonstrated his cour-
age as well as his ability, and opposition n
to his measures of reform from whatever
source they emanate will fad discomft- :
ure in his denomination aid election by
party that has had popularity added to
1t by one who has been so 'intrinsically Just
and SO fearlessly jealous to correct abuses
that have brought ruin upon the State
and disgrace upon its officials.

Our schools at least ought to be
free from the blight of politics. They
arc, however, to as great a degree as 9th
er Offices, under its bancful influences.
The county school commissioner IS cleo
ted frequently to quiet the demand for
some other Office. He appoints trustees
to control the precincts in some ones in
tercst. He fears to demand too high a
standard of qualification for teaches
certificate, because he will thereby cut off
the means OF his party friends. Thus
are the sacred claims of the next genera
tlon sacrificed to the sordid ambitions Of
the present. If it continues, the day will
come when the enemies Of education will
only need to point to the results of our
free school system to find potent argu-
ment for its destruction. Union- Herald.

tatt0r TRIBUNE
noticed an article IN your issue of the
23rd. expounding the law regarding the
5. G. Free School Commission. It is
somewhat strange that the writer of the
article who lived in this district since the
creation of that fund finds the "Stone of
Wisdom" so late, and Just at the time
when the chairman of the commission is
removed, and King man appointed in
his place. / cannot conceive what the
writer means to explain in the face of lis
quotation Of the Law, had not the writer
seen fit to have that passage of the Law
"otherwlse ut the discretion of the com
missioners hereafter named" also print
ed In italics, the public would not likely
be SO quickly misled. The writer is
intelligent enough to understand that
the passage plainly infers "where the dis
trlet trustees refuse or neglect out of
spite, or malice, or other politlcI mach
nations to establish schoor's the Com
missioners in their judgment have right
to do so. On this Interpretation OF the
Law the commissioners have acted until
now and we hope they will not be mis-
led to act otherwise.

They have peculiar ways of evad-
ing the penalties of the civil rights law
In Georgia. 4 few days ago a colorcd
man sdr' ssed in the height of fashion
asked admission to the first class car on
the Georgia Central road. The conduc-
tor, MIR NARROW, informed him that a
splendid coach forward, for persons Of
color, would receive him. He demulred,
and said that he had paid frst-class fare.
and would put up with nothing less. Mr..
MARROW seeing that the mans object was
to bring suit under the civil rights law
against the company admitted him, and
he took his seat, There were few ladies
and. n half dozen gentlemen in the
car when he entered. In few minut cs
the gentlemen took seats around the col.
ored man and commenced chewing to.
bacco and splitting upon him. He an
pied to Mr. NARROW for protection, who
informed him that he had as much as he
could do to protect himself. Sullenly
and silently he bore the indignity until
his face. coat, vest and pants were dis
colored by the saliva which was snuirte !
upon him from the mouths of his tor
mentors. In the course of q short time
the arguments proved effective and the
colored man left.
