A Matter of FREQ Schools.

The following from the Burlington
Hda0heye, certainly deserves consider
alton:
Governor Brown, the new Senator
from Georgia, has taken stand upon
the educational Question that must
warmly recommend him to rcpubli-
cans. In establishing FREQ schools at
the South Governor Brown thinks
the National Government should as-
sist. His REASONS for this arc strong.
The South was impov cyishch by tho
war. The capital Invested in slaves
was dcstroycd. The abolition of sla-
very threw upon the South great
mass OF uneducatcd people. II is fair,
therefore, ihat the National GUvorn~-
ment should aNf in providing an edu-,
cation for the children Of the freed
men. Unqucstionahiy the best in-
veStmcnt that could DO mn,lo hy thu5
National Government wonId be f,,
free schools, not only for tho ElAcke,
but also tor tho Whites, and if tho.
South will manifest disposition t..
help itself in this regard, it WHY rp.-
celvo tho sympathy and support of'
The Republican party. III that way,
aud under tie leadership OF such nen
as Governor Brown, VIC may NOT have
TO wait long tor It now South. 1t wi!A
take time to accomplish these results ;,
but the fruit Of snch effort is "a cer>-
tain as the relation OF c;tCso and Ct

trates the capabilities of our favored soil and
climate. But our abounding resources still
sadly need development. Our mineral wealth,
our water powers, the products of our forests,
our agriculture ITSELF have se,srCely been
touched "The harvest is pleuteoGs, but the
laborers are few" One of the most pressing
needs of the State, industriaily, is the advent
of an intelligent and thrifty immigration. I
commend this subject to you, and I commend
to your care the recently established Depart-
meut Of Agriculture, which, wisely conducted
| am pursuaded will be q most valuable agent
in advancing all of the material interests Of
the State.
CONCLUSION.
These happy results-this restoration Of the
State to the methods Of good government; this
hopeful industry of all classes of our people
and rapid advance in prosperity, are due, un~
der the providence of God TO the resumption
of the chief control Of our local affairs by that
portion of our citizens in whom the capacity
of self government is an inheritance derived
from thousand years of q free ancestry. lt
stands in striking contrast to the wretched
period of riotons N isrule which preceded it
under the domination of the lately enfran-
onised freedmen. South Carolina cannot and
viii not again become a prostrate State. The
dod given right of self preservation inheres in
oon,ihunitles as we'll as in individuals. 1t is
nigher than law and older than Constitutions
out the problem with us to day is to preserve
the hie OF the State within the conditions that
surround us 1t is true that never before in
I'll !neir history have free institutions been
subjected to such q strain rs the reconstrTtc.
ton Acts OF the national government placed
upon them here, but the political equality Of
all men in South Carolina is now as fixed q
feature in her policy as is the Blue Ridge in
her geography. 1t can neither be suppressed
nor ovaded. The solution Of the problem re-
1t seems to me that J. see in it Firmness, Mod
Grafton. Justice. Let these characterize every
act of legislation.
1t is my duty, as Governor, to stake caro-
that the laws are faithfully executed in
mercy" l repeat the pledge made before my
election-that in the discharge of this high
trust shall know neither white man nor COL
ored man, but only citizens of South Carolina,
alike amendablc to her laws and entitled to
their protection.

WHAT RAILROADS Do FOR FANMEIs
To haul forty bushels Of corn fly
miles ON wagon, would cost at Least
Sl2 for team, driver and expenses. A
railroad would transport it for 81 At
most. Allow on an average Of forty
bushels per acre, or 8 per cent. ON
SlOO. AS tho relative advantage is
about tho same for oLhor crops, it is
clear that n railroad passing through
town would add $l00 per aero 10
tho value of the farms. A town ten
miles square contains 64,0CO acres.-
An increase OF 800 per acre is equ al
to $4OO,O0Or or enough to build 2 90
miles of railroad even ut a cost of
$32 900 per mile. But 200 miles Of
road would extend through 20 towns,
ten miles square, and cost but $40 por
aero if taxed upon the land. Those
figures are given merely as an ilIusp.
tration. 1t the farmers had taxed
themselves to build all the railroads
in this country and given them away
to company that would stock and
run them, the present increased value
OF their lands would have we'll repaid
all the outlay.-American Agriculturist

The Last Message.

The last message Of his Excoll ency
Il. B. Hayes, has been transmitted to
Congress. If there was nothing else
ponding before that body, the mes
sage of the President would furnish
material enough for legislation until
the end Of the session. It recommends
moro good than it advocates bad
Somo of the bad part is, he gives great
prominence TO the proprety or ne~
cessity Of Federal interference with
Southern elections. Some of tho
good part arc the measures of reform
proposed for the civil service. He
says that appointments under the
government should not be regulated
by partisan motives, but qualifications
for Office should be determined by
competitive examinations. Such n
measure as this would divest the Ma
tional Executive Of all political influ-
ence, and leave the numerous employ
oes Of the government untramelled
in their sentiments. But is 1t not
strange that Mr.. Hayes should advo-
cate such a measure? Is not the great
republican organ all out Of tune? or
whence this near approach to common
sense? These recommendation are
not consistent with the past record OF
the President who granted leave of
absence to the many clerks of the
government in Washington, in ordor
that they might go to Ohio last Octo~
ber TO further the interest of that
party whose patronage they had so
long enjoyed, and the continued en-
joyment of which, they we'll under
stood, depended upon their fealty to
tho Republican party.

was exorbitant." Perhaps it is a lit.
tie more than 1t would have boon had
our Commissioners had time to have
gone all round over the County to SEQ
who would perform the work for tho
loast money. But there was q given
time in which these contracts should
be made and the work completed.
The last amendment, which determin>
cd tho location of the fence, was ap>
proved February goth, 1880, and by
the terms of this Act the work was to
be completed by the 1st Of April, 1880,
leaving one month and ten days in
which to complete the job. Survey
ors had to be employed to run the line,
and farmers had to be pursuaded and
we'll paid, too, to leave their farms at
that busy season of the year and go TO
building fence. Taking all these
things into consideration, we are pur~
suaded there is not much "refection,"
after all "upon the business capacity
OF tho parties who attended TO letting
out the contracts" The Commission
era must mean by "exorbitant" that
the price paid was more than it would
have been at leisure season of The
year. If so, we admit tn cir definition,
but deny that it was an adequate rea-
son for refusing to do what they were
authorized and required to do by an
Act Of the General Assembly.
Again, it is alleged that the Ander-
son Commissioners were not consulted
on this matter, had nothing whatever
to do with contracting tor the work,
and, therefore, should not bo expected
TO pay anything. Well, now, this is
just about as thin as the conduct of the
Pickens Commissioners was "cool."
Their part Of the contract was entered
into at Columbia by The Representa-
tives of Anderson County, (the editor
Of the Intclligenccr among the number, J
and agreed to by tho Representative
of Pickens.
Besides, no provision was made by
tho General Assembly whereby the

this consideration alone should have

COUNTY EXPENDITURES.

sibility Of the faithful and judicious expen-
diture of The fund, and they are practically
subjected to little or no supervision. 1t is
true they are required to forward, through
the Comptroller General, q detailed account
of their transactions,4 20 be laid before the
Legislature, and iris the theory Of the law
that these accounts are by you examined.-
For the present year but four of the counties
have forwarded their accounts in time to be
printed with the ComptrOller's report. Others
will perhaps be laid before you in manuscript
during your session, and some will not reach
you at all. The General Assembly does not,
and necessarily cannot, efficiently discharge
the duty imposed; and thus the loose super
vision of the county expenditures is in sing
ular contract with the rigid scrutiny enforced
upon the State Treasury. Your experience
and judgment will find proper remedy. 1t
appears TO me that the grand jury Of the
county is the most suitable body 10 be charged
with examining and auditing the transactions
Of the County Commissioners II aided by
an expert accountant, and the accounts are
published for public information q sufficient
time before the examination, it will be as
thorough as can be secured. The accounts
should then be forwarded to the Comptroller
General, to be by him consolidated and en-
bodied in his next annual report as statistical
information. These Commissioners should
still be required, as now, to submit to the
General Assembly estimates Of supplies upon
which TO base the annual county levy. All
that have said in this connection applies
with equal force to the disbursement by the
Of the school fund.
THE PUBLIC DEBT.
An adjustment Of the public debt has been
reached by legislative provisions by decision
Of the courts. There is no floating debt. The
debt funded and being funded is $3.50, ,17O.
Of this the scrip of the Agricultural College,
to $l9l, 300, is o permanent invest.
nent; the deficiency bonds and stocks, amount
ng to 1854, 1866, mature in 1888, and the
amounting to $5,s82,5l6. mature in
1894 The whole debt bears interest at 6 per
,ent.
In this connection I would very earnestly
BRING to the attention Of the General Assembly

SUDDEN DEATH or 4 GOOD Old CITIZEN.
1t is our melancholy duty this week to
chronicle the death Of Mr.. VIM. Little, an old
and worthy citizen of Clearield township,
who died very suddenly and unexpectedly
at Ais residence near St. Augustine on Fri
day evening last. The deceased was in his
usual good health up until some three or four
hCUEs of his DEATH and had been hUsily en-
plOypd until about 3 O'Clock Friday afternoon
il gaTUeTing his corn crop. About that hour.
however, he returned to the house and after
sitting at the fire for a short time complained
of feeling uuweN He then got mp and going
to his bedroom lay down on the bed and died
in few minutes from what is supposed to
have been heart disease. The deceased was
one Of the few remaining pioneer settlers in
that locality. He was born near EmmettS-
burg, Nd. some time during the year 1908
and in 1881 removed with hiseyOUng wife,
who stiiI survives him, 30 ClcaTfcld township,
where he has continued to reside during most
of the time since, respected and eSteemedby
who knew him. Mr.. Little was a man whose
word was as good as his bond, and having
lived the life Of a Christian an honest up
right, pcaceable and UnaSSuming citizen, we
sincerely nope he is now enjoying the re-
ward which God has promised 10 his fairhful
servants His mortal remains were inferred
in St Augustine cemetery on Sunday last,

and SoIT0w-StTickeu wife, as we'll aS Icy q
