Important to Land Owners.

The Spartan states that tho Air Line
Railroad Company have shown their usual
enterprise and business foresight in cstab-
fishing an itincrant land agency on the liuc
of their road. Maj, J. W. Houston has
forwarded to US circular setting forth his
Iplans. DIR. j. w. Moorman has received
the appointment of Registrar, and he will
commence operations at Charlotte, the 10th
instant, and move Westward. Ilo will stop
ut all the dcpots on tho road If you have
any lots or tracts of laud to sell make out a
full description of same and have ready by
the time he reaches your depot Give the
number of acres Of every variety of land,
where situated, how far from depot and
Court House, the churches and schools,
and every ether particular thut purchaser
would like to know. There will DO no
charge for this registry, but if sale be
made through this means, the seller viii!
have to pay five per cent, Of the gross sales
to tho Air Limo Company. This is not n
scheme of tho managers to put money in
their pockets, but both travel and frcights
will be increased by immigrants coming TO
this section, and they will bc ultimately
benefited. Tho facilities which this COM
pany has for advertising are very fno.
Those who have land to sell need not hcsi.

Company Nothing but fair and honorable
dealing may DO expected from chem.

Legislative News.

The General Assembly convened in extra
Governors proclamation.
The following arc tho bills of most general
interest yet introduccG
Mr.. Murray presented bill to facilitate
tho completion of tho Blue Ridge Railroad.
This bill proposed to relieve tho road of past
due taxes, exempt tho same from taxation
for term of years and to guarantee to any
company upon its completion s500,00O
Eliminated Of this latter feature and after
much animated discussion it passed the
lIonsc bya vote of So to 80. The Senate
had not to tho l4th acted on it.
Mr.. Cherry introduced bill to amend an
act entitled San act to amend an net to
repeal tho 204th, 295th, 29Gth, Goth and
436th Sections of tho Code of Procedure"
The objects of this act is to abolish the Office
of referee and substitute for it Master in
Equity for Oconoe County. This bill has
passed three readings in the House and gone
to Senate and there passed to q third reading.
A bill to register tho votes of tho State
was introduced by Mr.. Haskell Tho bill
meets very litto favor in the Assembly.
The Supply Bill gives Oconco County ] +
mills for rast debts and three mills for cur.
rent expenses.
A bill to prevent tho carrying of concealed
weapons was introduced in tho Senate, and
discussed with much animation by Senators
Livingston and Lipscomb pro and con. The
bill has not yet become law, though passed
by the Senate.
Mr. Lipscomb reported bill, favorably,
to amend an act entitled "An aot to protect
the lands, and crops of tho citizens of Able
vile, Union, Now berry and Lanrons Counties
from trespass by stock and make tho Same
apply to Spartanburg and portion Of
Oconce Counties" also favorable report on
same bill from the House. Wo learn that
tho object of this bill is to put that portion of
Oconeo beyond Seneca River, on tho Ander-.
son line, under tho "no ,fenco law" and
make Seneca River tho limo.
Thore seems to be but ittlo disposition on
tho part of members to 60 into general legis.
lation at this extra session. The objoot is to
do that which failed and adjourn.
Resolution to adjourn oniW cdnosday, tho
18th instant, was introduced into the House
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1880-02-19

2by Mr.. Aldtfoh, 81 :Aike6;; and made special
order for Monday, 10th. The opinion seems
to bc that the Assembly will adjourn on tha,
day.
tAfEE,
COLUMBIA, February I8.- Probabilities now
seem to point conclasivoly to the postpone
ment Of adjournment until Thursday or
Friday, especially as number Of the most
Influential short session mon have gone home
and a stubborn dispute is inevitable over, the
Senate amendm ents to tho supply aud appro.
priation bills.
The advocates of tho Blue Ridge Bill
express confidence in getting it safely through
tho Senate. and say they have twenty votes,
which is o clear majority of tho body prom-
ised.
A resolution regarding oonviots introduced
Tonight is probably intended as q counter
thruet against those attacking the directors
regarding the Seegers contract, and will
evoke full report showing how many are
leased to different railroads, in which Repre-
sentativos aud Senators are interested. on
terms much less advantageous to tho State
than tho ono referred to.

New students keep oomiag in, and the
friends Of the College are greatly encour-
aged. The Faculty is composed of earnest,
capable men, devoted to their work, liberal
and unsectarian, aud the blessing of the
Master is scaling their quiet abors.
TIE KEowEE CoURIER.
The editorial management, for local
newspaper, is unusually able. A very
timely and significant editorial appeared in
the issue of last week upon The Increase
Of Crime in our County," written by Col.
W. G. Keith. The fact of tho increase of
crime is painfully apparent everywhere.
The causes are substantially the saEo, among
these arc the want Of education among the
masses, the absence of busy employment,
the Increased iunoculation of society with
the terrific virus of whiskey aud tho lax
administration Of tho law. Educate; incite
to industry; execute tho laws; hold the pis-
tol and whiskcy iu restraint by stringent
nud just legislation looking to prohibition;
e1termnatc the pucrilc, unmanly, hypo-
cri,icai pructice Ct dueing and you viii
begin 10 SEQ the beginning of remedies. A
very grave responsibility is resting upon the
press aud the pulpit, for in our present state
of society the people look to these agencies
for enlightenment, instruction aud help.
We and ours are so well satisfied with
our appointment to this place TINT we would
not change it for any other appointment in
tho State. There is work before us--hard
work hut we have faith and courage,
growing out of an unaltcrablc conviction of
the truth Of the mighty saying, the real
sublimity of which We realize so poorly

Tax on Printing Paper.

Mr.. Fort, of Illinois, has reccntly intro.
duced into Congress bill placing printing
paper on tho FREQ list. The recent rise in
printing paper, from no visible cause, from
thirty to fifty pcr cont, shows that not tho
country but individuals arc receiving tho
profits. Our paper now costs us somo forty
pcr cent. moro than few months back, and
yet tho cost Of its manufacture has not in
creased, if any, to any material extent. The
public education is deeply interested in this
matter, as it will surely increase the cost of
all books and periodicals and newspapers,
thereby throwing the tax on tho people at
the expense Of tho intelligence of tho nation.
Education, information is the main pillar of
-etTength and purity in republican governs
mont aud whatever strikes at it, strikes at the
life-blood Of the government. Already some
.ofythe Northern and Western journals have
been compelled to raise their prices Of subs
scription and oil our readers know tho cxorc
bitant prices Of school books. Tho Chicag
Times states that The advance in paper makos
q difference in its expenses Of nearly $780,
900 year, and that it is compelled to raise
its subscription. The moye thus begun may
extend to osory tbrapch of publiqa.i9p, and

Tho came damage was done to the Southern

This and St. Paul's Church wore visited

their hands and wept and bemoaned their

'rhroo cars were blown from tho track on
