Laying aside the moral question involved
in the contiscation of the citizens property
for the benefit Of Il private corporation,
it might be we'll to consider the practic
al results which follow s UGH all act. When g
railroad is quilt through II section of country
which has III railroad, the benefits of the
road cannot we'll be ovcr-cstimat3d, but when
it comes to building parallel or competing
lines the benefits may not he sure or great.
weeks and last weeks Press anI Banner as
taken from the N.Us 0tj Courier ANA the
SpnrtunJMry Herald Spartanburg has given
5 I25 500 to build railroads, viz: The Air Line,
the SparLanburg and .Asileville, the Spartan
burg, Laurcns, end Greenwood, although she
had the Spartajurg and Union road. Now
S~partanburg is getting no better freight rates
than the smallest town on my one of these
railroads.. The statements arc presumed to be
facts. If they arc, where will Spartanburs re.
ceive a fair return for her debt? II is true
that there was for a time, when there was
sharp competition between the Clydcs
and the Georgia Central Railro I'D systems
But the best practical ta lent in the country il
to be found in the railroads. They soon saw
the folly of undertaking each other, and
they, through some of their representatives
came to the conclusion that as there were but
two of them, there was no necessity for being
fools, and so they came to terms, and now the
competing points pay the same frcishts as
other towns on the roads. There may be food
for thought in these facts.

The Labor Question.

IF the work Of the immigration agent is to
be continued, the ~up-country willsufcr much
from the loss of citizens TO till our lands.
While we think no means short Of taking
life is too heroic to defend ourselves from the
evils resulting from immigration agents, we
think our people might avert some of the
evils by offering farming lands at lower rent
The rent of lands that can he bought at SOU
an acre should not be held at $500 or $500 an
acre. The renter can no more afford to pay
forty per cent. for the rent Of his land than he
can afford to pay the merchant a big per cent.
for goods. On the other hand. 1t IS better for
the landowner TO rent his lands at a low price
than to let any considerable portion of them
remain idle. The Idea Of renting one-iOurth
of the farm while three.fourths lie Idle, is on
the principle of allowing three-fourths of ones
capital to lie Idle and unproductive, while we
expect to make q living on the remaining one.
fourth. Few men in Abbeville county can
afford to do his. Every acre, like every dol
lar, should be made productive. AS all spare
money should be safely invested so rs to bear
interest, so every acre Of land should be man
aged so as to bring the owner q return, be it
ever so small. The land which cannot be cul-
tivated should be fenced for pastures. If the
grass of this county which now annually goes
to waste for want Of fencing, could be utilised
IN feeding colts, sheep, cows, hogs, and other
animals we would soon become Il rich people.
The aggregate value of pasture lands IN Alb
bcville county Is immense, and 1t should be
utilized.
During the winter season a larger return

waste land, than In any other way.

Sermons in Newspapers.

We wish that more of our exchanges would
follow the example of the IGbrriHe Press ana
Banner and IIoned IuM P0indcnicr, and
print mo of the most eloquent dlvlnes.-
Seminary Lcutct.
We believe the publication Of crmon to be
an attractive feature of any paper, and W {
further believe that a majority of the ncwspa'
pers publish too little religious matter, and
give too little of church news. The fact is
the mere existence of purely religious news
papers is q standing reproach to the secular
press, which should supply the demand fol
religious reading with as much care as II
caters to any other demand from the reading
public.
We arc firmly convinced that any secular
newspaper which fails to collect religious and
church news with as much care as any Other
news, is dcrelict in 4 matter which Is an i'm
portant factor in the SUCCESS of any ncwspa
per.
We are even more surprised at the religious
press tor not publishing sermons in every Is
sue than we arc at the secular press for theil
failure to publish them. We are further sur
priscd that Il majority of the religious news
papers co ntinue to print their sheets on typo
so larg C that an ordinary sermon would cover
from Il quarter to u half acre of space. The
use of large type is confined almost exclusive
ly to country newspapers and TO the religious
press, while the city dallies wi tn their much
greater circulation use small type.

Ii Proposed Constitutional COnvcn.
fiOH.

While we think 1t perfectly certain that no
Constitutional Convention will ever be held
in South Carolina, yet the annual demand for
such an event is made by a few newspapers in
various parts of the State. None of these
newspapers, as far as VIC have heard, have ev-
cr assigned any need for a Convention. except
that it is q Radical instrument, but out OF
kindness to the brethren Of the press the
NewS and C0Wi cr hints at what we-rcgard the
real demand for q Constitutional Convention.
In remarking or a bill, which was defeated,
before the Legislature, looking to n Copstitu-
tional Convention, that paper said:
Gwen if the preliminary resolution find
the necessary support in the Legislature, it
must run the gauntlet of the popular vote at
the next general election. The people vii! be
told during the can asS, we may be sure, that
If they vote In favor Of the Convention they
Will expose themselves 10 the danger OF los
ing many of the privileges which they prize
most highly. Will not it be said, for example
that 1t is Intended to change the Constitution
so as to reduce the cOlorrd people to a state
of pconagc: that it is intended to abolish the
compulsory school tax that it is intended to
restrict the suffrage, SO that the poor man,
black or white, will be without effective
voice in the management OF public atilrs?'

Tobacco.

Let sone Of our prople doubt that tobacco
can be raised IN this country. Our forefathcrs
raised quantities OF 1t, before they took to
cotton. The only question now is, were our
grandfathers fools for quitting a profitable
crop to raise cotton In our own opinion to,
bacco had better be let alone. Corn, and
small grain are reasonably profitable, while
cotton is a good surplus crop. Tobacco is the
tilthiest crop that grows. 1t communicates
everything that comes near *. The clothing
and persons of those who work in 1t are of
fected by it. The girls and boys that are COM
PEELED to work with it generally learn to cheE
it, and a tobacco-chewipg woman is not as a
rule, desirable. Cotton is the clcancst, Hicest
crops that grows, and is clean to the touch,
while tobacco is the filthiest. Let other pco
pie raise tobacco, and learn their girls how tC
chew it, but let our people give it wide berth,

Taxation.

Tho people arc loud in their complaints
about the high taxes which they have just
paid, and they will watch with anxiety the
action of our Legislators in the hope that
they nay affect tor them some relief from the
yearly increasing burden.
We have as yet seen very little disposition
on the part Of the State officers to recommend
any reduction Of the appropriations, though
this Legislature seems to be doing much
work, and wasting very little time In letting
off surplus gas. The great waste of the peo'
pies money, we think, is in the educational
department Of the Government. 1t really
seems that as soon as a man once has amy.
thing to do with that department he becomes
impressed with the idea that the tax payer
has no rights to property which he is bound
to respect.
After Il review Of all the speeches, the act.
ings and doipgs Of all the men who arc or have
been at any time connected in the Education
sion that the tax payer has no friend among
the lot. We have never yet heard one OF
them suggesting any reduction Of our burdens,
but each ,one seems to be a selfconstitutcd
cmissary for the spread Of doctrines which
are subverSive of the rights of the Taxpayer
and promotive Of a communlstic principle
which would overthrow the wcll-cstablishcd
rule of awarding just compensation to the in,
dustrious and economical citizen, and would
instead, offer Il premium to idlcncss and va
grancy. We ask the reader to take a look
back ward, and see if he can recall a single in
stance where any mar connected with the
schools ever expressed a thought in behalf OF
the taxpayer.
For these reasons re think no fanatic on
the subject Of negro education should ever be
elected TO the Legislature or to any State Of
flee where his influence may be detrimental
to the good Of the people. According to our
belief the taxpayer has yet to find one friend
in all that class. If one can DC named. we
shall be glad to note the exception.

Are we Drifting Toward Des,}0tism ?

The Governor recommends the apprOpria-
ton Of enormous mounts Of the peoples
money, and that ever present school system,
with its attcndant cormOrants on the taX-pay-
crs bounty, arc like the horse lcech, forever
crying ''givc, '''Sivc," 'givc." The State Su-
perintendent Of Education, having had 4 taste
of drawing $1,000 a month from the public
treasury, while pursuing his own chosen pro
fesSion of teacher, omc to the front now and
asks that the State Superintendent be allowed
$500 a year, a salary equal to that Of Circuit
Judge. Not satisfied with living BY lcgi>lat-
ing money out of the pockets of the people,
he wants the Legislature to take the election
of Superintendent Of Education out of their
hands, and he wants the salary of the County
School Commissioners raised to 5000, and rec
ommcnds that they SHOULD be appointed by
the Governor"
AS a rule, it is fair 70 presume that the peo-
pie who pay the school money are competent
to elect Il State Superintendent of Education
and any number of County School Commits
sioncrs-cvcn though their representatives in
State Conventions may sometimes make mis-.
takes.
In recommendations made BY the State ST.
pcrintcndcnt he says:
The evils resulting to the public school sys-
tenn on account of the short term of office and
the mode of selecting the superintendent OF
Education and School Commissioners indicate
an imperative necessity for Il change in these
particulars. 1t is recommended, therefore.
that the Superintendent OF Education, like the
Circuit Judges, he elected by joint ballot OF
the General Assembly for a term of four years,
and allowed a salary equal TO theirs. The
County School Commissioners should be APP
pointed by the Governor, upon the rccOnI-
mcndation for cause. Each Commissioners
should receive q salary of 5000 q year, or 4 fix
cd percentage OF the county school fund.
In other words, the people who pay half a
million dollars Il year into the school fund are,
in the opinion of the State superintendent OF
Education. totally unfit 10 elect their own OF,
ficcrs, and from the recommendations above
quoted it may appear that they really arc i'll
capable of doing SO. IL seems to us to be III
bad taste, to say the least, for an officer. elect
ed by the people, to say to them that they are
unfit to eject a proper person to fill the place
whose salary he is then drawing.
Another draft which the State Superintcnd.
ent of Education would make upon the people
is, that san appropriation of $50 be made and
"authority given for the purpose Of publish
cling in the Carolina Teacher such matter OF
%"official interest us ought to be brought direct
"ly to the attention Of tho teachers.'
One hundrcd and fifty dollars is not enough
to support a newspaper. We cannot under.
stand then why only $4,000 should be given to
the Carolina Teacher. 1t cannot be to inform
the teachers of the State. The recommends.
ton is IL mystery to US.

The Savannah Valley Railroad and
its DcpOtS.

Now that this important line is being COM
plctcd tho points where it will tOnch aud the
stations to be established are of interest. Tho
first station will he Bordeaux, about seven
miles from Mccormick and owned by Dr.. Gil
bert; the next will be at Wilmington, three or
fuur miles father on, the lands around which
are owed by lr. w. F.. Link the next will he
ut Mt. Carmel where Mr.. J. w. Morrah is the
principal land owner; the next will he at Il
place called Magnolia, owned by Capt. sam.
Hester; and the next will be at IOwndesvillc G.
From there to Anderson we learn that no dc
pots have as yet been fixed upon, for the real
son that section refused any assistance to the
road. 1t need not he doubted. however, that
this part of the line also will have, ere long,
several conveniently located stations. All
Of this IS q magnificent country which q rail
way will develop into one Of the finest pOr-
tions of the State Of South Cor
mick AdUance.
AS n matter of right and justice, there
should be no dcpots bcween Lowndesville and
Anderson. We place the prediction on record
now that if Anderson consents to the estab'
fishing Of O depot between that city and
Lowndesville, that Anderson will soon be con
WINGED of the error. The trade Of all that sec
ton of country along the line Of road would
be cut off from the city which built the road
and all to accommodate the people who re-
fused to contribute Its construction. Let An
derson reap the advantage of her investment,
and let the people go to Anerson as hereto
fore. They have no right to complain since
they withheld their aid.

LIQUOR In Laurana.

We 1t stated that men openly violate the
State law against retailing spirituous liquors
in Laurcns village, and that several persons
have bought United States license. A lesson
is taught in these statements. The United
States law is regarded, because the Govern
mcnt employs officers whose duty it Is to see
that the law is enforced, but the State Of
South Carolina has no such officer, but de-
ponds upon the private citizen t. turn IN
former. If the State of South Carolina really
means to have it's avs enforced, let the Legis-
lature create an office, and appoint an officer
whose duty it is to look after these gentle
men who choose to bleak the law.

Pastures.

Now Is the time TO enclose pasture lands.
They pay a net profit which Is almost If not
quite equal to the cultivated lands. Cattle
in the pasture, gather the grass crops without
hire, md they are just SO many automatic
machines for converting the grass into meat
and milk. Meat and milk are important
factors In the food supply. Daily rations
from the meat tub soon Xhausts the supply,
but the flow Of milk and butter goes on for
ever. Exhaust the supply at night and in
the morning, like the mama Of old, the sup
ply is as great US ever. The same IS true
OF the meat house. Daily rafions soon OK
haust the supply, but In a good pasture is
sufficient animals to replcnish the supply.
The value of a good pasture is of priceless
worth to all who seek prosperity and thrift.
