Maine Industrial School for Girls.

We have before US the second annual report Of
the managers of this noble institution at Halo
well. The success of the school, thus far, equals
the most sanguine expectations of its friends and
patrons, and inspires confidence in the most benef-
cent and beneficial results in the future. Rev.
Stephen Allen, ID, is superintendent and the
Institution has been exceedingly fortunate in Sc
curing his services
The necessity Of the school for large accommo'
dations is pressing. There are now 81 pupils in
a building designed for 80, and some eight or
ten arc waiting for admission. Another building
would be fully occupied in few months. The
managers earnestly hope that within the next year
some generous persons will make themselves and
the unfortunate children happy by donating the
means necessary for the erection OF another build
ing.
BY report Of the Treasurer Simon Page, We
learn that the entire expenses Of the school the
past year, including repairs, etc, was Sc, 100 10.
Dir. Allen, the superintendent, reports that he
has sought to secure good behavior and improve
ment in school studies, with the least possible
amount Of punishment. The children committed
to the school generally of the neglected class
unaccustomed to wholesome restraint or self-con-
troll, anu sometimes without seu-fespeCt. ne
difficulty and delicacy of dealing with that class
Of children may be imagined to be no easy task.
The ladies Of the school have been unremitting in
their efforts for the improvement of the girls
under their care. In some cases the improvement
has been very manifest. Girls who were at first
careless of their habitsAnd refractory in DISPOSE
ton, are now tidy in appearance and amiablc in
conduct. Oshers are less susceptible to good mo
tiyes, and more confirmed in evil habits, showing
less satisfactory evidence of improvement Afew
have been found incorrigi ble, and more proper
subjects for the house of correction than tho in
dus:rial school; two of this class have been dis
missed from the school, in accordance with a vote
of the managers. 1t will probably be necessary,
occasionally, to resort to this extreme measure
of relief.
The industrial school is not house Of correc-
ton; it is not supplied with the means of treating
vicious and refractory girls, except to very linn
tied extent The children all mingle together in
school, in the work room andin their recreations.
The incorrigibly vicious a source Of contami-
nation to the young and innocent children, and
should be removed.
1t should be understood by the public that girls
who have entered upon course of crime, or i'd
otto children, are not proper subjects for the It.

Great improvement is manifest. The work of the

The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1877-07-19

Our Charleston contemporaries, the
Ncws and Courier and the Journal Of
Co'nmeroe, have shown their influence
over the management of the South Caro-
lima Railroad by securing the adoption
of the new schedule, and now the up.
country expects them to assist US in SO.
cnring cheap end equitable fse!gh. rates.
We are satisfied that If they will devote
half the zeal to securing low freights
which they have expended in accom-
plishing the changed schedule, we will
soon be relieved of the tyrannicai and
and short sighted discrimination in
charges TO which we have been subjected
for several years past by the South Caro-.
lima Railroad Company. The new sched-
ule between Charleston and the noun
tains is step in the right direction for
chat city, but it will do it very little good
anless freights are also reduced. Our
merchants believe that the business men
Of Charleston could control this matter if
they cared to do go, and NJ long az dis
elimination exists by which Grfenvillc
and Spartanburg have preference shown
them over points nearer to Charleston,
SO long may our friends in that city look
for large portion of the trade Of tho in
terror to seek other markets. The
freights ought to be reduced by the vol
untary action of the railroad, and if it is
too contracted in its policy to make the
reduction the force Of public opinion,
and the pressure OF business interests
ought to endeayor to cause a proper re-
duction; and If this fails then 1t Is the
duty of our Legislature to compel the
authorities of this road to cease dis
elimination which is injurious to the in
terests of the road, to the city of Charles
ton and to the people Of our State. We
hope the press Of the State will cry out
against the unjust policy which oppresses
us, and especially we invoke the aid of
our Charleston contemporaries in the
effort 10 secure justice and equality for
all localities at the hands of corpora
ton created by our State for the public
good.

John J. Patterson, the capet- bag United
States Senator from South Carolina, is
siimmering in Pennsylvania, where be
will probably reside In future, as he has
recently discovered that the climate of
of this State is too hot entirely for gen.
tlcman Of his raising. He does not, how
ever, object to making public the views
ofa Senator from South Carolina, on i'm
portant subjects, and hence, he submits
to an interview upon the subject Of
Chamberlain's attack on the President.
He thinks Chamberlain was too hasty IN
bis criticism of tho President, Cor 1t is
not yet certain what the President's
course will be. Patterson thinks the
Republican party is dead, and for once
VIC agree with him. We also agree with
him in thinking that the President has
not thrown overheard tho Radical crew !;
and hence. Southern Democrats ahnnld
not stultify themselves by giving him
any support further than is necessary to
secure particular measures that Republi-
cnns may he divided upon, thereby Civ
ing che Democratic Senators the balance
Of power.

FENCE QUESTION.

There is no conflict of interest bel C
che owners of land and laborers Oh the
fence question, which Is now agitatine
inc voters OF this County. The question
Is one OF pure political economy, for
whatever beneftssthe land owner is ad-
vantageous to laborers, and whatever in
jures the former, depreciates the value OF
the labor of the latter. The remunera.
tior of labor depends upon its produc-
tiveness and upon capital and demand.
Unproductive labor adds nothing to the
capital of o country, and therefore tends
&c def.ecc''s:e ;.s price. Nov apply tiIiifse
we'll known principles TO the question OF
the fence law, and it will at once be seen
that the interests of the land owner and
laborer are identical that whatever in
creases the productiveness of labor adds
TO the capital of the country, stimulates
industry, increases the demand for Iaiuv,
and, as q necessary sequence, enhances
its value. Now let it be remembered
that all labor expended in erecting and
keeping up the fencing Of the Couaty ;s
unproductive, and therefore naturally
tends TO diminish the wages OF the
labcrer. The land owner docs not pay
for labor which is productive, for
that which brings him nothing, but for
that which adds to his capital, and ju..
in proportion as labor adds to his capt.: |
is he able and willing to pay for 1t. If
all the non.productive labor of this
County expcnued In keeping up the
fences was cxertcd in adding to tire in
crease of the productions, that increase
would be very great, and constitute large
ly to the yearly increase Of the capital of
the County, which would be of as much
.. eft to the lhborer as to the capitalist.
The result of fencing up the stock
would be to add largely :, the area put
in cultivation, and enable the cult .ator
of tho soil to select the best lands for
planting. The worn out spots now cul-
tivated because enclosed, and which are
not remuncrative to labor, would be per
mitted to rest and the rich ores cult.
yated, thus amply repaying the laborer
for his toll, and the labor NOW spent on
fencing which produces nothing and for
which the lahorcr gets nothing, would
be exerted to Increase the productivencss
of the country, and thereby add to the
value and price Of labor. The land
owner pays for productive labor; he
ought not and cannot afford to pay for
that which is non-productive. The end
of all industry is production, and all
labor which does not produce something
valuable is utterly worthless If the
laborer, therefore, would seek his own in
terest, he would seek to make his labor
productive, and labor directed to the cul-
tivation of the soil, upon which the very
existence Of the human family depends,
is certainly much more valuable than
that exerted in telling timber and dc.
stroying forests to erect fences.
