An Inquirer After Information.

We are in receipt Of the following letter
from an intelligent citizen of the State of
Pennsylvania, and We give it publicity, in
the hope that some of our citizens who have
had experience in the work of terracing, may
reply to him through our columns, SO that
others may receive the benefit of the informa-
tion which he seeks:
YORK. PENNSYLVANIA, October q, 1885.
Editor Press and Banner:
DEAR S1R-The enclosed article l have
taken from the Baltimore Sun and send 1t TO
you with u request that you will put me in
correspondence with some of the progressive
farmers referred to, SO that / may be able To
improve a piece Of hill land by terracing In
the best possible way. aScertained by expert
ence, and avoid the mistakes sure TO occur at
first venture. If you have any printed mat
interested please let Inc know the cost of
same and I will purchase Of YOU. My object
Is TO have the benefit of experience in regard
to the best manner OF forming the terrace and
other things TO guard against that, an mex
perienced person would naturally have to
encounter.
I have a field that has an ugly wash in it,
during o heavy rain. l have always believed
that running water gained force continually
as it rushed on In one uninterrupted stream,
and to check the force, that stream must pc
SO controlled that it would not gain IN
strength continually as it rushed on to its
level. Therefore. the terrace, to break the
current, but as all things are best done When
find the best way TO improve my field by
making terraces.

Why SO ?

All real estate which was exposed to sale
last Sale Day was knocked down at remarka-
bly, low figures. BY reference to notes of the
sales it will be seen that lands sold by the
public officers ranged from 81 IS to $3.50 an
acre. The Miller estate alone furnishing an
exception, which was bought entirely by the
legatces.
We have made diligent enquiry for q rea-
son to account for the depressed condition OF
affairs, and have heard no reason assigned eX-
cent the law which enables the money lender
to realize ten per cent. on his money. Our
crops are about as good as they ever were
Our farmers incurred an unusually small
debt on the growing crops. The property was
sold OH q credit in q great measure, the
only solution of the question is, that farmers
per cent. interest, and that money lenders do
not care to undertake the trouble and care Of
a farm when they can realize ten per centin-
tercst on their money.
While we think it well that our people did
not 20 in debt for land which they did not
need, yet we are sorry that more Of our peO-
pile were not able to buy homes of their own.
1t may be that the sale Of immense Quanti-
ties of land last winter on a credit had some
thing to do with the present price Of land.
Many tracts were then sold partly on a credit,
aun these purchasers are now no doubt max
ing arrangements to settle their Indebtedness
for those purchases.

Shall We Make New JudgesEtips?

If we are not in error, there is Il proposition
before the Legislature to increase tho number
Circuit Judges. For our part, we believe we
already nave a sufficient number Of Judges TO
discharge the duties OF that office. If any are
unable to perform the duties required of
them, let them stand aside for other men who
may be able to fill the place, but don't in
crease the number Of Judges. If Judges in
South Carolina are to be made as plentiful as
blackberries in June, then they ought to be
about as cheap. If it be determined to in
crease the number OF Judges, then let the sal
airy be decreased in proportion to the increase
In number. at present VIC pay S2S,NO to Cir
cult Judges, and that is quite enough money
to pay for the administration of justice by our
Judges. If we are to have ten Judges, then
reduce their salary to $500 a year, instead of
$3,509 as at present. Make Il like reduction in
tile Solicitors salary. Two thousand dollars a
year would not he too small 4 salary. There
are plenty of most excellent and most able
lawyers who would be glad to take the places
at reduced salaries.

The EI5ertOn and Abbevi{le Railroad

We learn that some of our friends in Magno'
liza ale exercised because of a proposition to
levy a tax to raise money with which to grade
the proposed road from Enright to Abbeville
and Greenwood. The fact, 50 far as we are
concerned, is simply this: If the people in
Magnolia desire to tax themselves we shall
not object. But we never expect to lend our
aid III the effort to tax an unwilling people to
advance any private enterprise. we believe
that enforced contributions from the unwill-
ing citizen, under the guise of taxation, Is not
only wrong in morals, but wrong In law, and
ruincus in practice. Believing, as we do, that
it is bad morals to take forcibly from the citi-
Zen his private property TO advance tie inter-
ests Of @ chartered corporation, the most that
can be expected OF us is to be silent on that
subject. If our people, SO TO speak. as one
man. desire TO levy q tax for q road which
would promise a fair return, VIC will no doubt,
make no objection. But We certainly shall
not join d crusade to levy tl,e tax when there
is manifest opposition. We are opposed TO
lynch law, no matter whether applied TO per-
sons or property.

Is our Country Weakening, or is 1t
Getting Stronger?

SOhE oDO NJ =. S', NV ~, 1oOos
Editor Press and banner:
10 Judge accurately on this subject. we must
look back on past time. and prospecting III
the future, by this plan our present condition
can he spotted almost detinately. In all buSi-
ness matters 1t Is safe to keep a balance sheet,
and If the income is more than the expenses
all is right; but on the other hand, II the eX-
pcnses arc the greatest, in the course of time
know that our State government has been re-
lievcd of the oppression of radical rule, and
the entire Union is now governed by the
reigns Of democracy, and 1--WE can sit under
or make us afraid" Yet there is still some
thing to do. We acknowledge that VIC live In
a free government, free speech, free pcn, free
press, Is in it's boundary, and a number of our
newspapers are now doubling the number of
their former columns, spreading to the world
the increased power OF the press, ard giving
room for some dots from correspondents.
These inducements that are offered are look
on as for the good Of our country.
Now l propose to open q discussion on the
question which is the heading of this letter.
Is our country Weakening. or Is IT. getting
stronger? 1t is not intended that this subject
county, but to cover the State over. We GER
tainly live In Il progressive day and lime.
Public enterprises are daily on the increase;
now talked of, and are being layed Oft, IL the
work on them is soon to be commenced.
This alone will in part solve The question:, II
the money can be raised 10 pay 1Or the Dullu-
ing of these railroads and other public enter
prises. We are scarcely getting stronger, 9TH
crwise we are making failures. TO erect a
strong building it is wise to put 1t on Il firm
foundation, ana for our county to be success
full much depends OF what encouragement is
offered by the State government. Our State
tax is now five and q half mills; our county
tax is higher than 1t has been In Il number OF
years. Can not our lawmakers dispose or
some positions whore they are paying, men
high salaries 10 fill? Can they not apply the
royalties Of the phosphate beds Of the State,
and the income OF the State Penitcntiary, and
establish the whipping post law, and stop all
these grand and petit larceny cases that takes
up SO much time in Court, ana is a heavy bur
den of taxation. These are points that should
be closely looked after, and taxes lowered,
and our country will grow stronger and
stronger. Our State Legislators should make
every effort to encourage the tax. payers, and
they will become wcalthier and wiser. To
stop the constant flow of emigration OF some
of The best Of our young men to other States.
Public enter riseS, such as new railroads, cot.
ton factories and high graded colleges should
be commenced at once, and the work go on to
satisfy the wants of our country and taxes
lowered. If not, in the course of time our
State will be like chafl before the wind, scat,
tered to the four quarters OF the earth and
gathered up and swallowed up in time obllv-

TO Whom Should the Fees Go /:

Does not the testimony before the last Court
give indssputable proof that If license to sell
,,vhiskey is granted that the fees should go In
10 the CouHty Treasury, and not into the town
treasury. Tn l1slrder case which has occu-
pied SO much time Of two Courts, at the eX-
pensc OF the Coupty, shows up the error of the
present system. If whiskey had not been
sold the expense Of the trial might not have
accrued. Bat as it is, the town received the
fees for whiskey license, end the County has
TO pay tine expenses incurred from the toe
.srec use OF the stimulant. Either put the
money into the treasury OF the county or
make the town pay the consequential ex-
.penses of the license. Under the present law
it would seem right enough to grant the H.
cense, but the erronsousncss Of allowing the
town to appropriate the fees must be apparent
TO all. The people of Abbevillc county Will
be taxed an amount about equal to al the Il
ccnse fees Cor one year, to try q single case,
syhich no doubt originated in whislIey which
was sold Hndey license Of the town, and which
would not have arisen. if the actor had not
had the whiskey. We are in favor OF abso-
lutte and positive prohibition, but if licenses
are to be granted, NC are perfectly sure that
there is no sort of doubt that the people who
unwillingIy su tfer from thc.eril should receive
che license fees.

Can Anybody Tell?

1t has always been q mystery and n wonder
to us why ''our friends in Aiken' would kick
up such q muss in an effort TO enforce m I'M
willing people to submit to an enormous tax
for a railroad which they did not want. Is 1t
pure patriotism that induces them to try to
build a railroad against the will Of the pco.
pie? Is a railroad Of such value as to be n
fair return for the enmity which the agitation
of this subject has aroused between neigh
bors? From whence comes the presumption
that those who favor the building of a rail-
road at other peoples expense are better than
their neighbours? For downright arrogance
and presumption commend US to ''our friends
in Aiken" For GOODNESS, bordering on arctic
frigidity, the action Of "our friends in Aiken
will take the cake when they express surprise
that even honest Germans prefer to spend
their own money in their W way.

AbbevIIle and EIbertOIr.
ELbertOn Leader.

1shos, becn evident for some time that Ahbeville
md chat section OF Carolina has been quite anxious to
connect with q Grorgia trunk Ane. Much has been
written and satd about it. Now the matter appears to
be taking shape. For q long time the Carolina, Cum
bcrland Gan AMI Chicago Railroad enterprise has been
monopolizinr their interest and attention. This has
now fallen through. At q recent meeting in Aiken
of the stockholders the rond was voted against and 1t
may now be said that It Is practically killed, and that
nov their connection with Georgia Is much more hat
tcring. The people are very much aroused on the
subject of q western connection by railroad. Their
naturu' outlook is through Elherton to Atlanta By way
of Athens. PaIties are already In correspondence anu
much interest isbefng manifested. A letter has just
been shown us from nm AbbevilIe gentleman to one OF
citizens wishing to know whether Elberton Is In favor
of the route and whether she will put money in the
scheme! The matter Is respectfully referred. we
ter. We need not again repeat the great benefits
which will accrue to Elberton and this section by rail-
road connection with the Savannah Valley.
