Anderson COunty's shaSs og tie Rence
Money.

Some time last spring, the Commissioners
OF Anderson County, approved tho claim Of
over fourteen hundred dollars due this County
by Anderson for building the stock law fence,
rs provided for by the Acts Of the Legislature
extending the law to portion Of this County.
Recently few citizens Of Anderson filed n
petition with the County Commissioners, ask
ing that they reconsider their action In ap-.
proving the claim, ON the grounds that the
Act Of the Legislature is unconstitutional,
and that there is no legal or moral obligation
binding Anderson CouQ4y 10 pay the said
amount. The County Commissioners ap-
pointed last Thursday as o day to hear the
case, and after taking testimony and hearing
arguments on both sides, decided To- stand by
their former action and pay the claim. Messrs.
Brown & Tribble represented the petit oners
and MIR. Ansel the respondents. Whether
there will be an appeal TO the Circuit Court or
not we do not know, but we should think that
if the opinion of large majority of the tax
payers Of Anderson is needed, the case will be
| speedily abandoned. County Commissioners
Day and MauldfW Of this County, for the pur-
pose of testing the feelings Of the citizens of
Anderson County on the question, carried
petitions with them, rs they rode from their
| homes in this County TO Anderson Court
House, asking the County Commissioners to
pay the claim as n moral ond legal obligation
on the county. The result was that they
procured the signatures Of over 175 citizens
of the county. Some Of them, the largest
taxpayers and most prominent citizens Of the
county. The County of Anderson as repre-
sented by her Commissioners, and We believe
nine tenths of her taxpayers, acknowledges
the business of the claim, and is willing to
pay it, but less, than o half dozen Of her citi-
zens have carried the question inie litigation,
which may delay payment awhile, but that
the claim will be paid at some future time.
there is hardly doubt.

President Arthurs Inaugur al Addrss..


President Arthur, by advice, agai took the
oath OF office at Washington. 1t was admins.
tered by Chief Justice Waite in the presence
OF the Justices Of the Supreme Court and the
cabinet. General Arthur then read from
notes his inaugural message, as follows:
"For the fourth time in the history of the
Republic its Chief Magistrate has been remo>
Ved BY death. All hearts are filed with grief
and horror at the hideOus crime which has
darkened our land; and tho memory of the
murdered President, his protrncted suiferings,
his unyielding fortitudo, tho example and
achievements Of his life and the pathos Of his
death will forever illumine the pages Of our
history.
For the fourth time the officer elected by
the People and ordained by the constitution to
NIL q vacancy 80 Great ed is called to nssume
the Executive Chair. The wisdom of our fn-
theirs, foreseeing even the most dire poasibil-
tiles, made sure that the Government should
| never be imperilled because of the uncertainty
| Of human life. Men may die, but the fabric
of our free institutions remains unshnken. No
higher or moro assuring proof could exist of
the strength and permanence Of popular gov
ernment than the fact that though the cho-
sen OF he people be struck down, his consti-
| tu,ional successor is peacefully installed,
without shock or strain, except the sorrow
WHlcn mOur1S the bereavement.
AS the noble aspirations Of my predecessor
which found expression in his life, the meas.
ures devised and sugge sted during his brief
| Administration to- correct abuses and enforce
| economy. to advance the prosperity and pro-
mote the general welfare, to ensure domestic
security and maintain friendly and honorable
relations with the nations of the earth, will be
garnered in the hearts of the people, and it
will be my earnest endeavor to profit BY his
| example and experience. Prosperity biesses
our country. Our fiscal policy is fixed by law,
is well guarded and generally approved. No
threatening issue mars our foreign Intercourse
and the wisdom, integrity and thrift of our
people may be trusted to continue undisturb-
! ed the present assured career Of peace, tram
quillity and welfare. The gloom and an xiety
which have cnshrouded the country must
make repose especially welcome now. No
demand for speedy Legislation has been heard.
No adequate reason is apparent for an unusu-
al meeting of Congress. THE Constitution de-
fines the functions ard powers of the Execu-
tive as clearly as hose of the 9th er two de-
partments Of the government, and he must
answer for the just exercise Of the discretion
it permits and the performances of the duties
it imposes.
Summoned to the high duties and respons.
Utilities of the Office Of President and pro-
foundly conscious of their magnitude and
gravity, assume the trust imposed by the
constitution, relying for light on Divine guild
ance and the virtue. patriotism aud int clli
gence Of the American people.

Is Arthur in Danger.

IL ls reported that plot to assassinate
Arthur has been discovered in WASHINGTON
A man by the name of Bayley says while w.
ing in bed about midnight, he overheard tho
following conversation between two men under
his window. sOne said he would kill the
PRESIDENT within month. The other said:
"Will you swear to it," and the reply was
eyes, will" and he repeated an improvised
form OF oath to that effect. He referred to a
third person not present, who vas apparent
ly In the plot, as Garfield Republican"
At this point, Mr.. Bayley says, he threw
open the blinds and the two men ran away.
lie thinks he might identify them should he
ever see them again. On reporting the facts
at the office next morning, the chief of the
division to which Mr.. Bayley is attached told
him to 60 and report the facts to the police,
which he then did under oath.
Since this conversation is reported n bovo
taken place, Mr.. Arthur has kept b;mssIy
very much retired from the public, and keeps
body guard with him everywhere he eoes
He went TO New York the other dav. and n
strong force Of police was stationed at tho
depot to protect him. In monarobies u 10
common for those who wear the crown n
have body guard, ard with all this precau-
ticn they are some lmes killed, as was the
case with the late Gear of Russia, but when
it becomes necessary for the President Of the
United States to have his person surrounded
by guard 10 protect him from the bullet of
the assassin, we think it is time to quit boast
ing Of our free institutions and commence
preparstiOna for the Empire.

The Stock Law.

During the session of Court just closed, we
heard many of our citizens discussing the stock
law question. Those who live outside of the
boundary seemed TO take moro interest in the
discussion than any one else, and about nine
tenths Of them seemed to be very anxious to
have the provisions Of tho law extended TO
thcm The farmers who live inside tho boun-
Diary laughed at them n good dealabout being
'out in the co'd'' and having to split 80 many
rails and keep up so much fencing to keep
stock out Of the farms. II is fact acknowl-
edged by all that the stock inside he bounda
ry line is in twice as good condition as that
outside Of it.
There arc many petitions now in circu To-
tion, asking tho Legislature to extend the pro
visions of the law to the entire county at its
ncxt session. There are also n few petitions
in opposition, but large majority seem to
favor the cxtention. We suppo sc they will
get it At the next session. All petitions should
he sent to The members early in the session

South Carolina Military Academy

committee appointed by the Alumni Of
tho above insti tuition has been sending us ar.
tiolcs for publication in favor of rc-opening
the institution this winter at tho expense Of
the State. We notice that most all the papers
in the State have published the articles, but
have rcfrained from committing themselves
in any way, editorislly. Wo ore in favor of
education, and under favorable circumstances
would favor, not only the opening of the Mill
tary Academy, but the State University. But
with such on unfavorable crop prospect, and
the hardest times perhaps ever known in this
country staring us in the face, we shall op-
pose the expenditure of any more public funds
than tho two mills Constitutional tax and the
poll tax, for educational purposes. We think
for the next few years, at least, the most ri.
gid economy should bo practiced in every de-
partment of the State Government, and. ex.
penditures cut down wherever possible. in
order to make taxation less, and to that ex
tent relieve the people. We are sorry that
tho friends Of the institution have undertaken
to reVivo it at this time, and hope they will
postpone their efforts for o year or 80 at
least.

What Does it Signify?

Intelligence received from Warner Observ-
atory, Rochester, N. Y, announces the dis,
covery Of n new comet located in the constel.
lntion of Virgo. II is q striking coincidence
that this new and bright comet appeared at
the same hour President Garfield was bren tn,
ing his last. 1t was first seen by E. f. Bar.
nard in Nashville, Tenn. who has made claim
through Prof. Swift for the Warner prize of
5000 in gold. This makes the fifth comet
seen since May first, and Of this number four
have appeared from almost the same spot in
the heavens.
