The Graded School.

An Act of the Legislature having provided for
Graded School in our Town, prompt means
should be taken to carry ii into effect. The lirst
things to be done is for the Examining Board Of
the County to lay OF the new School District
and appoint Trustees. inl it is TO be hoped
that the Board will without difficulty be able to
find among the many gentlemen OF culture and
business capacity at least three who have the
necessary qualifications for making efficient
Trustees.
There is Il deep and growing interest in the
success Of this effort 10 establish Schools of a
higher order and more comprehensive usefulness.
Nor is this feeling confined to the poor man w;.I

The Holiday Season.

Inc Holiday Season.
Itshas been many years since the people of
this town spent the Christmas and New Years
holidays so merrily and convivially as they did
those just passed. From Christmas eve up to
last Monday night scarcely night, except Sun
days, passed without an elegant entertainment
OF some kind. Family gatherings and reu-
Mons, dinner and tea parties followed in daily
succession during the whole holiday season.
The young people, especially, were in round
OF gaiety and merrment, and the heads of those
Lfamilies who were able to contribute to the gen.
eral fund of JOY seemed to catch the inspiration,
and one after another opened their houses for
an evening of social joy and gladness, until
from complete exhaustion or surfeit many were
compelled to retire from the feast Of joy before it
was ended.
Union is provcrbal for its hospitality, elegant
entertainments aud social refinement, and in all
these qualities her citizens well maintained that
reputation during the festive season just passed.
The entertainments were graced by the pres
ence Of the beautiful Miss b., of Orangcburg,
the modest "Mountain Maid" Miss c., of
| Ashevillc, the accomplished Miss d., from the
good old State of Virginia, where, during the
war, every house was like City Omnibus
| room for one more ,coutied Soidier yct--thc
| sprightly Miss c. b., daughter of u late most
promising member Of the Union bar, and last,
though not less attractive, the Misses L. Of Mt.
Tabor. These additions to our own circle OF
| beauty and elegance, in season Of festivities
truly made Union happy and joyful spot for
| one week, at least.
The members of the bar relieved the monotony
| of their duties in the extra Court by evening
parties, in which the dignifcl Judge Thomson
| participated

We have before stated that all Citations, Final

quite respectable sum, of which we stand
greatly in need. They are all against good and
responsible men, but that don't help us on cent.

Cheap Advertising.

Judging from the prices offered us for insert
ing certain advertisements, we are not q little
surprised at seeing those advertisements appear
in number of the papers of this State. AS
one out Of number Of offers we have receiy&
within the past three months, we. instance that
of Northern firm proposing to give us eight
d'llars for publishing ~ inch advertiser V(ent
one year with local every month and 10 send
the paper free to the advertiser for that
One-ffth of-a colupn, one year, with LOG -
paper thrown in, for So monstrous Ten ~ -
umns of advertising for one year for S400 10

Not by a jug full. If we did, not country pa
per i'll the State could stand it long.
We have no right to say how our neighbor
shall conduct his business, any more than he
has to dictate to us how we shall conduct ours
If he thinks the 'patcnt' outside is best for
him we have not the shadow of n right to say
anything against his adopting it-that's his bus
incss alone, and has nothing at all to de with
ours. But when our ncighbor docs anything that
has n tendency to interfere with the business of
all the other papers, by encouraging ruinous re
ductions in the price for transient advertise
While we do not think the Press Association
has any right to interfere in this matter, we do
believe that some rule could be adopted by the
country Press by which Patent medicine and
similar advertisements from distapce may DC
made renumeratve to the publishers. Men
boast of having made millions of dollars through
the agency of the press alone, while they have
not pnd that agency living price for the work
which gave them their millions. They boast of
how much money they have paid for advertising,
but did you ever hear publisher boast Of max
ing any money out of those advertisements !?
Never.
Oh, well, say many publishers, they "ill up"
and save little type setting That is true, but
i: is like putting liquor in by the faucet and let
ting it out at the bung hole.
If the whole press were to unite upon plan
to secure an Increase of at ieast so per cent upon
such advertisements, and stick to it, there would
be some money in it for the publishers as well
as the advertisers, and we could all take them
and be benefited. AS it is, when We ask de-
cent price arc laughed at and told that some
other paper publishes ii for IS per cent. less
This occurs to US almost every week but we
are determined not TO encourage the cry oil
"cheap advertising" which is set up by The ad-
vcrtsing Agents. Besides, consider the dis
posing of the advertising columns Of respect
able paper at such contemplate prices de-
grading to the press at large, and unjust to our
subscribers and home advertisers. If we can
afford to .fll up and save type setting to let
strangers make money out Of our columns, we
don't see the justice in not doing so for home
folks. There's n terrible grumb!ing where two
papers arc published in a county, if one Of them
cuts down the prices of local advertising.

The Tax Act.

Inc lax ACt.
There is considerable discussion about the
validity of the Act to raise supplies, as cngrosscd
and ratified. |, seems that in its passage the
House amended :he bill that came from the
Committee of Ways and Means, increasing the
State Tax from ~ to a mills. This ame,attncnt
Yas rejected by the Senate, anli1 WI y:s&
Passeu WIN the Il mTr fevy Staee fuffosey!
The bill however was ongrossed with the A mills
tax, and in that shape it was ratified and re
ccived the Governor signature. Arterward the
error discovered, and the question now is,
can the At mill be collected? 1t certainly was
not IN the law passed by the Legislature, and no
other body or person had the power to alter or
change the act. Many contend that the tax
cannot be collected unless the Legislature assem-
bic again and correct the error, and that it
would be dangerous precedent to Set if the
Comptroller should attempt to collect the extra
! mill, placed in the Act by clerical error. 1t
would cost Slj,0 to call the Legislature to-
gcthcr, while the extra tax would amount to
$4,000. We understand that the matter has
been referred to Governor Simpson for dcci-
sion. Our opinion is, the Legislature will bc
convened in extra session to correct that and n
few other errors, of minor Importance, discov-
cred in other Acts.
