The Barnwell People says: s'Crop
reports of the last week from all
sections of the county are uniformly
disheartening. According to the
general estimate not more than half
crop of corn and two-thirds of a
crop of cotton will be made. In a
few isolated neighborhoods fair
crops will be made, but the general
outlook is more unpromising than
in any year since the war except
1881, Many fields will not yield
more than peck of corn to the
acre. The drought has been geper-
al throughout the State, and our
neighbors are no better off than we
are"

OUR PUBLIC ROADS.
SUMTER, August 8.

|
To the Editor ofthe Nears and Cour-
Ter The people of this State
are much interested in Senator But
ler's discussion of the ''Road Law"
| the more especially as they had
hoped with his aid to find a prac-
tical solution Of this vexed question.
The two prominent difficulties in
the way seemed to be: first, how to
raise the necessary means for the
repair Of the highways; and, second,
in what mode this fund should be
disbursed in order to do the most
good.
Senator Butler, in his article in
to-day's Neecs and Courier, proposes
to meet the first Of these difficulties
in the following m anner: Il should
levy q tax of one dollar on every
able-bodied male person liable to
road duty, to be levied and collect
ed by the county treasurer" &c.
This mode would be simple
enough, but can the General Assem-
bly, levy such a tax? In Section
2, Article TX, of the Constitution
it is provided: THE General AS
sembly may provide annually for a
poll tax not to exceed one dollar
on each poll which shall be applied
exclusively to the public fund.-
In Section 5, Article X. it is pro-
vided: II There shall be as.
scssed on all taxable polls in the
State an annual tax of one dollar
on each poll, the proceeds Of which
tax shall be applied solely to
educational purposes. \
No other poll or cspitation tax
shall be levied in the State, nor
shall the amount assessed on each
poll exceed the limit given in this
section. .....
In view Of these provisions of the
Constitution, is Senator Buffers
scheme practicable? ?
1t has been decided by the
Supreme Court Of this State (see
State VS.. Hayne, 4 South Carolina
Reports, 403,) that a tax may be
constitutionally imposed upon roc,
cupations or professions" and it
may be that under this provision
the necessary means may be raised
for repairing our highways; but
Senator Buffers proposition "to
levy a tax of one dollar a head" is
hardly tenable, as the poll or capt.
! tation tax cannot be increased !;
and, a. the property tax in South
Carolina is high enough already,
the occupation tax will be the
only source Of revenue. LEX.

The Good Of 1t.

There are certain short-sighted per-
sons who cannot see any benefit in
fires. Think of the workmen who
would be out of profitable employ
ment if Mollohon Block were, still
standing! A number of them are
engaged on the Crotwell buildings,
and work will be furnished for many
more when the other stores are rebuilt.
Then say that fires do no good!
The question is, VIII not the labor
furnished by the rebuilding OF the
stores and the building of the factory
interfere with those who depend upon
floating labor to have their cotton
picked?
