tent from tho watery experience
they were compelled to undergo,
until assistance reached them.
The break in the railroad is q So,
rious one, and it will require consid~
ornb;c labor to replace tho track and
tho trostle. All Of the trcstling,
including some thirty or forty
panels, wHs swept away, and the
track for some distance on each side
was drawn out OF place by the fish
bar fastcnings. Tho trostlo WAS
rebuilt not long ago, and was in
spoctol recently by Superintendent
Kline, and only last week was care
fully examined by the real master.

THE RAILROAD ACCIDENT

cd.
The conflicting reports received
on Friday night as to tho extent of
tho disaster on tho Charlotte, Co..
lumbia and Augusta Railroad led to
IN oxaggeration Of tho actual loss
by drowning. There were only
sixteen persons on board tho train,
including the conductor and other
employees, when tho accident oc-
cured. Tho cnrs were crowded on
leaving Columbia, as stated by tho
register Saturday morning, but
nearly all tho passengers, including
tho ladies' and children, wore dcs~
tined for stations this sido Of Rock
Hill, and tho loss Of life was con
siderably lcsscnod thereby, as
crowded cars would have certainly
augmented tho dangers and pcrils
Of the situation. The passengers
wore rescued by 10 o'clock, p. m,
at which hour Conductor Kline was
taken from his porilous position,
hanging to tho branches Of a tree,
with tho waters surging boncath him.
The citizens living in tho vicinity
rendered every assistance in their
power, and special praise is given to
tho colorod people for their faithful
labors i'll this behalf. A colorcd
man named Alock, rescued several
persons, riding into tho swollen
stream with lis mule, and working
manfully to save the lives OF tho un-
fortunate passengers.

The School Amendment.

The Constitutional amendment
retaining school moneys in the
counties in which they aro raised,
should bo ratified. It was adopted
last fall almost unanimously in every
county except Edgctield, both par
ties voting for it, 1t has also 10
ccivcd two-thirds majority in the
Senate, and, we heliove, requires
merely n similar majority in tho
House and tho approval of tho
governor. Both political parties were
pledged to it.
Fairfield is especially interested
in the ratification of this amend
ment. It offers tho only escape,
on her part, from loss. The State
tux for schools has every year,
heretofore, been two mills, besides,
in many instances, an additional
local tax. The amendment fixes
the samo rate, two mills, and
merely alters the basis Of appor-
tionment. Under the present law,
all school money goes to Columbia,
and is divided out among tho coun-
ties according to the school attcn-
dance in each, and not according to
the amount raised in each. In
Fairfield, the proportionato amount
of property exceeds the proportion
nte school attendance, in conso-
quencc of which tho county has
never received back anywhere near
as much as sho raised, tho balance
going to othor counties That have
more schools Tho two mill tax, in
this county, has always realized
from sovcn to eight thousand dol>
lars, while the State apportionmcnt
has mover returned her moro than
about half that amount. The
amendment will retain in the
comfy all that is raised.
Let us assume that tho amend
mcnt is not ratified, and tho Lcgis-
lature lovics two mills for school
purposes. Fairfield would raise
about $7,500, and rcccivo back
about $500, total loss of $1,000.
If but ono mill bo levied, thon the
county will raise $3,750, and re-
ceive back $l,750, q loss Of $4,000.
Under tho operation of the
amendment, tho $7,500 will be
raised and tho entire aneou,et aciU he
hcp5 IN the county. Hence the
groat Importance Of the change,
for in no othor way can tho present
unjust discrimination against Fair
field be removed. The defect is
constitutional, and tho remedy must
also bo constitutional And until
this change bo mado the schools in
this county will languish.

are demanded. it is hardly the ting
for any one to push himself forward.
The people of tho State should seol1
their rulor. They should not have
one already furnished to thom.
More especially is this tho case
with tho Judiciary. ReceSt events
have shown that the courts are tho
bulwarks of liberty. They arc the
authorities Of last resort, and from
the decision Of their most exalted
members, tho Supreme Court
Justices, there can DO no appeal.
Governors, presidents, armies must
in tho end yield to them. They arc
the embodiment Of right, and they
stand supreme, SO long Us the love
of right is enshrinol in tho human
breast. The ermino Of the Judge
confers upon him peculiar powers.
Even drunken negro, by virtue of
the gown ho wore, once held the
dostiniea Of q people trembling in
the balance, while he was tloundor-
ing in the gutter.
Alo these positions, thon, to bo
solicited ? Wo think not. There
should bo, in tho breast OF oyery
honorable and faithful worsh;pper st
the shrine Of law, the aspir;.t;on that
at somo future day The judicial er-
mino may DO placed upon his shoul-
dcrs rs tho reward Of earnest dcyc~
ton to duty, and labor we'll pei
formed but at tho same time, there
should be the feeling that the robe
must be placed upon him by other
hands, and not grnspcd by his own.
1t is not for any man in South Care
lima to assume that he is fit per
Son for other tho Circuit or tho
Supreme bench. 1t is no! for him
to ask to bo tho arbiter OF the lives
and fortunes Of M entire peor!e.
But it is for the people of the State
to look calmly around upon hcr
most illustrious jurists, and to &C.
lcct from, Them the persons they
deem most fit TO bo entrusted with
tho greatest responsibilities. 1t is
not every good man who would
mako Il good judge. The head may
be wanting. Nor can every learned
man make u good Judge. The hourt
may be not right. The csscrtial
attributes of a judgc-wistlom, free
dom from prejudice, patience, the
highest moral integrity, tho utmost
devotion to law, iirmness, sclf-,abnc-
gation-all these are difficult to find
i'll one man. And in searching Gor
just such q person. the State cannot
but be impetled by tho assumption
on the part OF any citizen that ho
Is the man she wants, unless she act
on tho assumption that lie is not the
one sho wishes.
We sincerely trust that the Lcgis
lature, i'll choosing IN Associate JUS
tice, will not permit any electionoc,'~
ing but that it will itself seek the
man for the position. In filing it,
tho Legislature cannot aim too high.
The very best man in the State, who
ovor ho IS, or whoroyor ho camo from,
ls the one the people want to nrbi-
tratc for them i'll all matters pertains
ing to life or prope! IS.
