The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1878-02-28

HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN, travel
ling along the Rhine, stopped at St.
Goar, and inquired for the poet Freili-
grath. He found the house, walked in,
and greeted the poet sitting at his table
busy with papers. Said Anderson in
his pleasant tones. IL could not pass by
without paying my respects to you"
THAT is kind of you" returned Freili-
grath, coldly, somew hat annoyed at the
Intrusion and far from guessing who his
visitor might be. MAY | ask your

quietly. The poet jumped up from his
seat with cry of joy, exclaiming,

The Legisl aturo.

The Legislature.
We have little to report of the doings of the
Legislature the past week, The house has
passed. Gslien law. and the only features we
can give Of it is in the following which we take
from the Columbia Register:
The discussion OF this measure in the House
of Representatives on Thursday night ended by
the adoption of substitute offered by Mr.. Orr 4,
of Anderson, which provides statutory lien
for rent to the extent of one.third Of the
crop, and re enacts the sections OF the former
lien law which were repealed at the last session.
The only difference is that the lien is simply to
be filed and indexed in the clerks office, in.
stead of being recorded in full as heretofore. In
this shape the hill went to the Senate, and will
likely pass that body.
The Columbia correspondent Of the Spartan
burg Herald, who ought to know whereof he
writes, rs he is the Clerk of the Senate, gives
the following synopsis Of what is doing:
Tho Legislature is dragging its slow length
along. The Senate keeps postponing the con-
sdcration Of the election of judges, until the
deferred hope has made the hearts Of some Of
tho aspirants little sick. The election will
perhaps come off the latter part Of this week.
Mackey and Cooke have n fair chance for re-
election Shaws election is considered sure
The others stand slender chance.
The Phosphate question has caused quite an
excitement in the House Although the dry
bones on the coast may never live, it is certain
that the subject stirs up lively debate amongst
the members. 1t is barely possible to arrange
the whole matter equiaby, so that the State
| and the corporators and the farmers may oil be
protected in their varied interests.
The House decided to have no immigration
| Agent the present year.
The Bond Commission has reported. The
report has not given general satisfaction. Those
| who advocate the payment of the consolidated
debt dislike the report, because it is adverse to
certain bonds Others dislikeit, because the Com
mission made no definite recommendation. They
| gave the status Of the bonds and have left the
onus of accepting or rejecting with the General
| Assembly.
The Appropriation Bill has passed the House.
| This is as moderate as possible under the cir
cumstances.
The lien law has been re.enacted with some
notifications. The farmer has prior lien for
rent, and this is not TO be recorded. The fee bill
was recommited, bat has not come hack TO the
House yet.

subscriptions to the Fair Grounds.

SUBSCRIPTIONS TO the Fair Grounds.
We hope the committees appointed at the last
meeting of the Stockholders, will faithfully
canvass their several Townships for subscriptions
to the County Agricultural Fair Grounds and
make full reports of their success at the ad-
Journed meeting of tho Stockholders on the
23d inst. 1t is essential that this should be
done, in order that we..mny. know whether the
people Of tho country-for whose especial bene-
fit and pleasure the Agricultural Association was
formed and the grounds Enthusiastically wish
to keep them up.
The people Of the town are desirous Of see
ing the whole matter owned and controlled by
the Farmers Of the county, and have, therefore,
given them the first chance Of doing so. We
cannot say that any man or number Of men in
this town will purchase and control the property
if tho people in tho country refuse to secure its
control to themselves. We have not heard hint
that such an arrangement is mootcd but We do
sincerely hope that the people in the country will
forestal any such movement by subscribing suffi-
cicat amount to control its management.
The property is worth double the amount due
| on it, and could be made to produce n good div
idend to the stockholders, if properly managed.
There is no risk in subscribing to it, and il one
hundred aud fifty farmers were to taka.only Ons
share each, they would all be interested in. it
and their influence would add to Its success, DO.
sides the satisfaction of knowing that they had
done something to benefit their brother Farmers
and for the good Of the farming interest gencr-
ally.
If the grounds should fall into the hands of
few liberal and selfsacrifcing men in this town,
you will have no cause for complaint, and no
reason to grumble if it is not managed accord
ing to your ideas. You are invited to take hold
Of il and manage it TO suit yourselves. The
people of the town are quite willing to give
it up TO you upon the same terms which will
be exacted of them if they purchase the proper
ty. If yo neglect the offer you must not ~
that village or town clique has got control and
manages it TO suit themselves, TO make money
out of it. That would no. be true. No town
clique wants it, but the whole town is willing to
| help keep up tho Association and the annual
Fairs, in connection with the people in the coun-
try
No one will deny that the annual Fairs have
already done good in stimulating Improvement
in the Agriculture of our County, and our do
mestic comforts then let the Farmers take hold
Of it at once and place it upon n firm and per-
mauent basis. so that they may at every annual
Fair point TO it with pride and say, 1--WE own
this, we support this, and the good that it con.

A few dollars from each farmer will secure
the property to them.

Mr.. Stands Maiden Effort.

The Wednesday evening Mail brought us, in
the Columbia Register, synopsis of n mastery
speech delivered by our newly elected Represen-
tative, r. W. Shand, Esq, upon the bill "to
prevent unjust discrimination in freights by
Railroads"
Mr.. Dargan moved to strike out the enacting
clause of the bill and made an argument in de-
fence Of his motion. The Register pays the fol-
lowing high compliment to MIR. Shand:
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Dargan's speech.
Mr.. Shand, Of Union, rose to oppose the motion
to strike out the enacting clause. This was Mr..
Stands maiden effort, as legislator, and he
proved himself to be q brilliant debater n cogent
reasoner and q sound lawyer. He made an ex-
haustive argument in favor of the passage Of
the bill, and insisted that the Legislature is
vested with the authority TO pass snch n law,
and that it is expsdient now to make such legis-
islation.
Mr.. Peakc also made fine speech in favor Of
the bill. Weregret that we cannot publish both.

Our present Town Council, finding the citi-
zens wonld do nothing, have, very commend
ably, acted in the mS( pr and purchased small
but powerful Fire Emf Inc, which arrived here
last Friday and trial its power was made the
following day, muchttd the qualification Of all

After the trial was over Col. l. G. McKissick

particularly the young men-to sustain the
action of the Council by forming an efficient
Company. lie closed by saying that "the
gallant Wade Hampton had saved the State from
the ravages of thieves and scouudrels, so will
the little Wade Hampton of Union save the town
from the ravascs Of fire.
The great obstacle in getting up Fire COM
pany has now been removed, by the Town Coun-
Gil taking upon itself the responsibility of pur-
chasing IN engine, and it now remains to be
seen whether sufficient number of active and
efficient young men will be willing to take
charge of it under n. proper organization As
we learn that O. meeting. Of the citizens will be
called to take the matter into consideration, we
will say but little about it until the result Of the
meeting is obtained.
In the first place We think The action of the
Town Council should be endorsed by the citizens,
and in no better way could that endorsement be
manifested than by quick and willing response
of our young men to the call for them to organ
izc Fire Company.
In the next place, if they do not take hold of
it now, a Company ,cN be formed under the sole
control of the Council, and we are not sure that
future Councils will be composed of men who
will feel any great interest in the protection of
the property Of the town.

A Terrific Storm.

a Terrifc Storm.
We publish on account Of n terrific and de-
structive storm that visited Augusta, Geo., On
Thursday night Of last week.
The same storm visited this place, the same
night, but was not so destructive. Just after
dark it commenced to thunder, tighten, rain and
hail, accompanied with heavy wind. About
midnight the storm grew terrific, and the rain
seemed to fall in sheets instead of drops. The
storm lasted until about three clock, but at day
light the sun shone out bright and the air was
quiet. We have heard that much damage was
to done fences and by washing the land and
that houses and chimncys were blown down,
but do not know in what part of the coun-
ty such destruction occurred.

TRAGTcAL DEATH OF A STATE SENAToR.-News
was received in this city Friday evening of the
death of c. F. Young, a prominent citizen of
Yancey county, who with Col. Folk, represented
the counties of Caldwell, Burke, Yancey, Mitch
ell and Mcdowell in the Senate of this State in
the session of the Legislature, lS7G-77. The
particulars of his death are very meagre, but
our information is that during the heavy snow
storm which prevailed in that section of the
State few days ago, he was caught out and was
frozen to death. At any rate he was found dead
in the snow, and there being no mark of violence
upon his person, it was naturally inferred that
he had perished from the cold Charlotte Oh
