ELECTION TICKETS.

The opinion prevails with some persons
that the State Executive Committee do not
propose to furnish tickets to be voted on the
proposed Constitutional amendment for re-
ducing the area Of counties except those print
ed in the affirmative. Such, we are pleased to
say, is not the case. Our attention having
been called to the matter from source en-
titled to credence, we wrote to Hon. Jas. F..
Izlar, Chairman of the State Democratic Exec
utive Committee, asking if such were the de-
termination of the Committee and the follow
ing is his reply:
ORANeEBuRe, S. c., Oct., 7, 1882.
L. NJ. GRIsT, ESQ, Dear Sir: Your letter
received. The tickets for voting upon the
Constitutional amendment in regard to re-
ducing the area of counties will be printed for
both sides of the question. Those desiring to
vote for the amendment will have tickets with
"Yes' printed upon them and those desir-
ing to vote against the amendment will have
tickets with ''No' printed upon them. Every
voter shall have free opportunity of express
ing his wish. am, very respectfully,
..... JAS. F. IZLAR,

In this estimate of the Sheriff's income no
allowance is made for the board of prisoners,
as that item Of expense would be, under the
proposed arrangement, no more than it is at
present.
These figures are about as low as competent
men can be found to do the work. In the
State officers the increased expense will be
something. About ten new Judges, and as
many additional Solicitors will be required
The Judges now receive salary of $500
annually, and the Solicitor 81, 800. The in
creased annual expense for clerical force or
new officers in Columbia, could not be less
than $4,000. The proposed Constitutional
Amendment would add fifty new counties in
this State. This would add the names of fif-
ty new Senators to the pay roll, ($250 to each. J
The act of drawing a jury cost S23. In each
county there are annually three petty Jurles
and one grand jury-four in all, at cost OF
S92. Annual expense alone OF drawing ]urles
for fifty new counties would be $4,000. The
Jury Commissioner is required to attend Court
at cost of 81 day--on All average of four
days each Court-$A a year. For fifty coun-
ties 81, 200. At each Court there are usually
about half-doZen bailffs at $50 day for
every day of the Criminal Court, say six days
at So day, S53. For fifty counties, 81, 700.
At each court the man who calls court gets
something and it is necessary to have one
of these at every Court in every county.
Incidental expenses ut each Court, repairs OF
public buildings, insurance, wood, lights, sta
tionery &C., $500 a year for each county.
Fifty counties, $4,000.

STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.

The State Board of Equalization was in
session, in Columbia, last Thursday night and
on Friday morning. The First Division of
the State embraces the counties of Oconee,
Pickens, Greenville Spartanburg and York.
Regarding the assessment for York, the Co.
lumbia correspondent of the Ners and Courier
says:
There has been no return from York of the
recent assessment, but in 1879 the value of
property in towns and villages was given at
$4O4, ,2S2. The committee recommended that
no change be made in the assessed value Of
town property in Greenville, Spartanburg,
Pickens and Oconee, and that York county be
referred to the full board. The board finally
agreed to accept the abstract of the auditor,
provided that the average value of lands out
side of incorporated towns be not less than So
per acre, and if the returns be not so high,
that the assessment be fixed at this value.

THE NEW COUNTY MOVEMENT.


THE NEW COUNTY MOVEMENT.
In order that our people may begin to think
about their ability to meet the increased ex-
pense that would be incurred by the adoption
of the proposed Constitutional Amendment re-
ducing the area of the counties, we offer some
figures below. The estimate below is for the
fees and salaries of the officers of Abbevile
county. Of course where the fees are paid
out of the Treasury, but where the fees are
contingent on the services rendered in such
offices as the Probate Judge, the Master in
Equity, the Sheriff and the Clerk, in order to
make the salary sufficient in the smaller coun-
ties the fees will have to be raised, so that
citizen having business in one of these offices
must pay higher than he would have done if
the county is not divided. The law, we be-
lieve, requires some of these officers to keep
their Offices open every day. In Abbeville
county the salaries and fees are estimated as
