Theta1 levy for:the ensuing year for

Thetax levy for the ensuing year for
Anderson County is eleven mills instead
of nine and one.fourth mills, as it was
last year. One fourth of mill of this
additional sum is an increase in State
taxes !: one and one:fourth mills is for
past Indebtedness; and the remaining
one.fourth Of mill isfor current County
expenses. The levy is as follows: State
tax 5 mills, school tax 2 mills, County
tax for current expenses 2a mills, and
for past County Indebtedness 1t mills.
A larger sum was asked for County pur...
poses BY the Commissioners, but the
delegation froE this County would not
agree to any further increase. Aproyis.
ion % .Was made permitting the Commits
:aioners ne to borrow money 10 the extent OF
sthres.fourths of the levy for past indebt-
sdnsss, and also OF current expenses at 9
rate Of interest not to exceed eight per
cent, in order to pay off back debts and
to runsthe County this year :onaa cash
basis as far as possible. We have no
.doubt our present Commissioners will
utilize the discretion which has been
granted them in such manner asito etiecs
considerable saving to the County.

Tho Gist of the New Railroad Law.

Owing to the many amendments made
to the bill in the Senate the public, no
doubt, have very imperfect idea of the
effect of the new bill as passed on the
Railroad law rs it now stands. The fol-
lowing synopsis of the bill gives clear
and intelligent view of the changes that
have been made in the law and their
effect on the railroads and on the public :
All those sections of the late law Civ.
ing the commission power to fix rates
are repealed. The railroads are to sub
nit their rates to the commission for ap-
proval or modification before putting
them into effect. If the commission ap-
prove, they go into effect almost imme'
diately. If the commission disapprove
and modify after hearing argument from
the roads, and the roads will not accept
the commissions modification, they have
the right to appeal to the Circuit Judge
of Richland County, or in his sbsance to
some other Circuit Judge selected by the
Chief Justice. The evidence taken be-.
fore the commission is submitted to him
and he must decide the case within ten
Gays, DIS QcClblUil " UC uudi. DuiAh6
the pendency of the appeal, the rates in
force at the time the change was pro-
posed by the roads shall remain in force
and be enforced until the question at
issue shall be adjudicated.
The rates to be submitted to the com:
mission by the roads include through and
Joint rates. The commission have the
right, if they consider the rates in force
unreasonable or discriminati.e, to change
them to just and reasonable rates. II
the roads refuse to consent to such modi-
6cations they can appeal to the Court in
the manner provided above. The attor-
nsy-general conducts all cases for the
commissioners.
The sections against discrimination re-
main in the law. Provision is made for
speedy adjudication upon suits for dis.
elimination brought by parties against
the roads, the commissioners acting as
agents for-the parties suing. The penal
ties for discrimination or unjust charges
are quite heavy.
The provisions as to passenger rates re-
main unchanged. Provision is there
made for second class fares. The Barn.
we'll Railway is to be considered an in
dependent road.

them out. This was legitimate trans
action, but still it shows that our con.
temporary was not disinterested in its
desire to maintain the; Commissions
power to fix rates.
The Ne7us ia also mistaken in thinking
the Commission has no power. On the
contrary, as will be seen from the synop:
sis of the new law which is published
elsewhere, the Commission has very large
supervisory powers, and in fact out pres.
entrailroad law is the most stringent law
in the United States outside of the
States of Georgia, Illinois and perhaps
Tennessee. The Mews has been offended
because Mr.. Murray did not take its ad.
vice and refuse to serve as q director Of
the Columbia and Greenville Railroad.
1t has never advised any Greenville man
to refuse to serve, and has never criti-
cised any one of them for accepting such
positions. Mr.. Murray, under these cir
cumstances, preferred to take the advice
OF his friends in. Anderson rather than of
the News. He has already stated that If
the business men of Anderson at any
time desired him to resign as director,
or if the stockholders of the G. & G. road
wished his resignation, it would be inn
mediately... rendered. As long,. however,
as these two classes are satisfied with his
action he will. not heed the unreasonable
interference Of the newspaper of rival
city, nor will he be svayed from his con-
victions Of what is right by It's personal
yituperation. -

Shocking Accident.

A terrible accident occurred at Flor
ence on Christmas night, in which
young man was killed instantly and his
body horribly mangled, and another Sc
riously wounded. 1t appears that
party of young men Who desired to make
a loud noise improvised cannon out of
steam pipe, which they obtained from
the railroad shops, which they charged
with large load of powder and rammed
down with considerable force. When
the piece was discharged terrific e1plo..
sion followed, caused by the bursting OF
the pipe. One of the fragments struck a
young man named McBeth on the head,
crushing in the left side of the face aud
skull, and another piece struck him On
the left side, tearing away the flesh and
ribs and exposing his heart to view. His
death was instantaneous. Another
young man, whose name could not be
learned, was struck on the head by q
flying piece of the pipe, which fractured
his skull. His injuries are serious, if not
fatal-CoZumbia REGISTER.

The Orangeburg Times Democrat say,

luo OIauBeouIS IWseo,De"soC!Hs o"y o =
"Last Winter, when the Railroad Bill
came up for consideration in the General
Assembly, Mr.. E. B. Murray, member
of the House from Anderson, warmly
supported the measure. As ne all know,
the bill was passed, but, before its work
ings are fairly tested, we find Dir. Murray
introducing q bill into the House which
practically repeals the old bill. Mr..
Murray claims that his mind has under
gone a change on the subject since the
first Railroad Bill was passed. Last
summer, when MIR. Dibble announced his
preference for Randall as the safest man
for the Democrats to make Speaker, this
same Mr.. Murray, in the ANDERSON
INrELLIGENCER, assailed Mr.. Dibble,
and demanded his resignation. Why?
Simply because Mr.. Dibble did not agree
with him on the Speakership question,
and yet we find him sloshing around on
all sides of the railroad question. Has
|.anybody called for his resignation be-.
cause of his error of judgment on the
railroad question p"
This, like great many other things
said, about Mr.. Murray, is not true. He
did not demand Mr.. Dibble's resignation.
He merely expressed the opinion that q
Representative, on mere matters of poll
cy, had no right to put his own preferen.
ces. over the wishes of his constituents.
Nor is the comment of our contemporary
any more accurate as to the railroad bill.
It had been tested far enough to see that
it was working ipjuriously, and the whole
section of the State which Mr.. Murray
represented desired its repeal or its mod
ifcation. The modification he favored
does not repeal the old law. 1t merely
takes away the power ofthe Commission to
regulate rates, and gives them the super
vision of these rates, with power to have
fair rates enforced by an appeal TO the
Courts of our own State. The facts,
however, are of little consequence, it
seems, to those who wish to pay off some
grudge against Mr.. Murray for any act
of his as Representative or an editor
which has displeased them. Go it
gentlemen. Where the facts do not bear
you out, make them as you go.

The Legislature adjourned on Monday
] the 9th Of December, at half,past two
O'clock in the morning, aftera session
of Just twenty.eight days, OF really 9
session of twenty.three days. During
this time very large amount of business
was; transacted, much of which, however,
swasof local importance. We will, from
time to time, publish the whole Or parts
of the Acts passed, thstour readers may
sbs informed of the changes made in
existing laws at the late Session. The
local Acts passed for Anderson were
S An Act to amend; the Charter Of: the
Town Of Pendleton. IS IS
An Act to amend the Charter Of the
sTownof Williamston. 5sS4.s,5
An Act to incorporate certain Town
ships in Abbevills and Anderson, Coun-
I ties, and to permit them to subscribe 70
the Savannah Valley Railroad. s.
An Act to change,the conditions of the
Gitysof Anderson's subscription to the
Savannah Valley Railroad. s. .
An Act e. provide for the organization
of an eficien.. Fire Department in the
City Of Anderson.
An Act to Incorporate the Anderson
Building and Loan Association.
An Act to authorize the County Com:
1,nissioners Of Anderson County to sell
the Court House and land adjacent
thereto, and build a new Court House
with the proceeds therefrom, if they
deem it advisable.
An Act TO increase the number Of
Trial Justices in Anderson County to
seventeen.
s In onr judgment, the work of the late
session Was entirely too hurried, and
therefore We anticipate finding numer-
ous inaccuracies in the legislation when
IL appears in permanent form. The
Constitution should be amended 80 as
sto:fx the meeting Of the Legislature on
the Tuesday after the second Monday in
November, instead of the fourth, as it
noW is, thereby allowing session OF
about six weeks, instead Of onlya little
oyer four. sza#s.:;

The Eastern Bottle Manufacturers to
Aid in the Fight Against the Strikers.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-It was learned
this morning that the National Window
Glass Manufacturers Association and
the National Bottle and Vial Manufac-
turers' Association at their private meet
ings held yesterday and the day before.
resolved to advance the price of glass
ware generally 10 per cent. All the fac
tories in the Western States have been
closed for some months past, the men
having struck against the proposed re-
ductlOn in wages. The western
manufacturers yesterday agreed
TO continue receiving orders
from their customers and send
them to their Eastern brethren. who
will manufacture the goods and turn
them over to the Western men for de-
livery: The goods will be manufactured
for the Western men almost as
cheaply as they could do it in their own
factories. This is the scheme proposed
by which the strikers will be defeated.
1t was declared that the Western factories
would remain closed until the men agreed
to accept the terms proposed by the en-
ployers.
