Hill and MahOnc.

In the Washington news OF our daily OK
changes of yesterday we find some OF tho
particulars of Senator Hills attack upon
Senator Malone OF Virginia, which we trans
fer to our columns.
1t seems to us that it has become the
rule for southern newspapers to endorse the
more violent acts OF Democratic Representa-
tiyes In Washington, and we have no doubt
that we will bring upon ourselves theccnsure
of some OF our brethren for saying that we
arc heartily sick Of seeing accounts Of South
ern Democrats performing fantastic tricks In
Washington at the expense Of the Democratic
PARTY Of the Union, and to the disadvantage
OF the South in particular.
Intcierable arrogance and violence OF
speech can never be made to take the place of
craftsmanship. and until our leaders learn
this fact we shall have very little reason to
hope for the success Of the Democratic party.
Aud. II II were not treason TO say so, We
would express the idea that violent speeches
by Democslss$in Washington ave done
more to establisSy7 , perpetuate Republi'
can ,ule than everything else combined.
We will not pretend to go into the mcrl:sal
the course which Malone HIS pySsslcd nor
attempt to colns-S r the presumption
whicn induced Hill toassail tho Virginia Sen
ator for voting according to re dictates OF
his own conscience. AS any one Senator Is
presumably the equal OF any other Senator
we are unable TO see any Justification in
Hills supervision Of Mahonc's vote, or In
any attempt to bulldozc him ueder any cir
cumstances, and certainly not by invective
or i%nsinuatlon. Malone is responsible to
his constituents for his vote. and is certainly
not In any way accountable to Hill or the
Senate.

The Drainage Law.

Ono Of The most important and the least re-
r,rdcd is that law which refers to the drain
~, Of our streams. In order that our people
may be informed on this subject we publish IN
unn,bcr u,rt of this paper the law bearing on
this subject. We think q law winch so near
" affects tho farming interests II the hSailA
~ the country should be obcycd to the letter
md that the penalties for a non-ooScrvancco OF
tho same should be rigidly enforced. In An
beville county the law pcovidesthat all traSn'
troos riffs and timber shall be removed from
tho streams and other tributaries that run IN
10 the Savannah River, except iiaru la"o'
Creek. shall be removed during the months
of March and September in each year; anu
that any person convicted OF q VIOLATION Oh
this law shall be fned not less thar ~ nor
more than SD. The SaIne law provides "that
the cutting or telling trees across or hto any
of He r,tnuiuo streams of said counties snail
be deemed a miSdcmcanor, and any person 81
convicted shall be punished by a t1he OF ho'
less than S. nor more than $50, or iinprlsoh'
mcnt for not less than ten nor more tfiaii 'n'F'
IL days, or both Mt the discretion VI 'ne
Court"
We have not heard Of the first instance
where the drainage law has been rVeaEoeu'
To show how openly this law Is diSrcSasaeu
>vc would mention the fact that a large part
of the frame work of q bridge which was re-
Gently washed down, now lies on the bottom
of Long Cane and In full view OF persons pass
ing along the road, while a tree has been re-
Gently cut across the stream WITHIN aHels
short distance Of the road. In little "h'ie
all these timbcrs will be covered with Sanu
and The bed OF tho stream will necessarily be
raised.
The only benefit which Hard Labor creek
will derive from the law Is where the penalty
attaches for the cutting or telling trees across
-'any of the streams Of said counties lhiS
section will of course apply to every stream
In the county, whether tributary To the ST.
vunnah or not.
Persons whose lands are being injured IN
consequence Of the filling up OF the stream
below them should not he quick to enforce
this new law against their ~neishoors, out
should give them ample time for the work ol
removing the distractions from the stream.
We do not know how often q person could oe
indicted for a neglect to comply with thisla"'
but we presume that an indictment TWICE q
year would be of force. IF this Is true, II Is n
fact that no land owner can afford to neglect
the law, except upon a presumption OF thefor
bcarance of his %neighbors who might be will
ing to allow him to ruin their bottom lands.
Land ow ucrs will find 1t safer to remove at
once the distractions from the streams run
ming through their lands. II they do not do
80, 1t may be n source Of trouble between
them and some n~eighbor, who may feel that
nc Is injured by the neglect.

The Cheat of Inserting Advertisements
as Reading Matter.

Recentiya gentleman Of education and In
feIIlgcnce, in fact q preacher OF the gospel,
was amazed at the announcement OF n recent
miracle that had been performed in one OF
the great cities, and asked our attention to
the fact. Upon looking ut the paper we found
It TO be an advertisement OF a patent medi-
cine which had been inserted in q religious
newspaper as reading matter. He was slow
to accept our statement OF the matter, urging
ut the same time that it was not possible for
his religious newspaper to perpetrate such a
fraud on IN unsuspectins public. He seemed
to be laborlng under the deluslon that reli-
sious newspapers are more scrupulous in this
respect than the secular newspapers, and ex
pressed every confidence in his church pa
per. Confidence like this is sublime, and to
violate 1t is a fraud and O deception, unwor-
thy of any man living under the tongue OF
good report.

The Bolton, Williamson and Easley
Railroad.

AS a matter OF special interest at this time
we publish in another part OF the Press and
Banner the act authorizing the levy and col
lection Of taxes in this county for the purpose
OF grading the proposed Railroad from Trick
m to Bolton by way Of Abbeville and Due
West. Read 1t and vote for the tax to grade
the road. Somebody else will furnish the
money for the iron and cars. The Greenwood
and Augusta Railroad has cost the people
along the line very little. Capitalists have
done nearly all the work.
