ga PICAYUNIsH POLfCY.v

Under the caption, ga small way of do
ing business" the Aiken Recorder has the
following just criticism on the "picayunish
policy" displayed by the. Legislature in
imposing upon the press of the State to adj
vertise public business gratis, for which in
all fairness payment should be made. The
article was evoked by the circular Of Comp
troller-General Stoney-publshed in the
ENQUIRER last week-concerning disabled
Confederate soldiers, and is true present
ment of the case:
"The following circular, respecting in
formation concerning disabled Confederate
soldiers, has been forwarded to us by the
Comptroller General, with the statement
that the Legislature made no appropriation
to defray the expenses of carrying out the
provisions of the act, and that there is no
way in which he can reach those interested,
unless the newspapers of the State will gen.
erously publish the circular. Of course
Comptroller General Stoney is in no way
lature, for it is the same picayunish policy
of detestable meanness which subjects the
press of the State to so many drafts upon its
time and capital. If a new carpet had to
be bought for the legislative halls or new
desks for the members, very good care
would be taken to provide for payment, and
it would be thought Il freak of insanity if
the Sergeant-at-Arms were to write to the
carpet or furniture dealers, and state that
the Legislature had decided that new car
pets and new desks were necessary, but had
made no appropriation, and that there was
no way of getting them unless the carpet
and furniture dealers would generously sup
ply them. Now this is precisely what the
Legislature has done in this instance. In
fact, it is the meanest kind of spOnging,
because that body relied upon the fact that
the newspapers touched by sympathy
would not refuse to publish, for the reason
that it would inflict a hardship upon the
meritorious beneficiaries Of the act. No
profession or occupation is subjected to so
many drafts upon its generosity, for which
no thanks are ever returned, as the news
paper press, and no profession is liable to
so many risks and heavy charges for cur
rent expenses. When the benefciareS are
churches, benevolent institutions, or needy
private individuals, we grin and bear it,
without uttering complaint, but when it
is the great State of South Carolina, to
which we have to contribute our quota of
taxation upon the capital engaged in our
business, we protest that it is very small,
miserable way of doing business. Never
theless we think our patriotic Comptroller
General has done right in appealing to the
generosity of the press in behalf of the
wounded veterans, who have so many
claims upon the sympathy of our people,
and for their sake we make room for the
circular, while at the same time we protest
against this forced levy upon our capital
and resources"

PAINTING THE Town RED.--Larkin
Thornburg, whose father is distiller near
Kings Mountain, n. c., invaded that town
on Sunday. full of whisky, pistol in hand on
horseback. He charged through the streets,
over the side walks and wherever else his
whisky suggested and his horse could 60,
terrifying the people and defying the law
officers, until Mayor Dixon seized the halter
of his bride, and, although he was severely
cut in several places about the head and face
by the drunken mailman, he SO checked his
headway that others came up and arrested
and lodged him (Thornburg) in the Gala
boose. When it was known how Mayor
Dixon had been cut it was all the Sheriff
could do to protect the drunken man from
a mobbing. He paid $40 fine and costs to
the town and gave bond to answer in the
Superior court for cutting Mayor Dixon.

er c.. J. Pride. Several witnesses were eX-
amined, the most important being our
worthy Postmistress, Miss Buena V. Wood.
She had suspicioned that the person who
rented box SO was using the United States
mail for fraudulent purposes, having seen
an advertisement in TEXAS ,SJtings which
read as follows:
"Greenback k-S1O invested returns 500 in ten
to twenty days. Address Box SO, Rock Hill,
S. c."
Miss Wood at once turned detective, wrote
letter to Box S3, Rock Hill, S. c., post
marking it with pen and ink, pheasant
Valley, Lancaster Co., S. c." the letter ask
ing how 500 could be realized for $40 in
vested, and signing the fictitious name ED
Williams" In few days q circular, OF
which the above is a copy, was dropped IN
the letter-box of the postoffice addressed to
the supposed correspondent. Miss Wood
Immediately reported the matter to the
postoffice department, and Inspector Boy
kin was instructed to investigate the case at
once. He arrived here the first of last
week, and thinking the evidence against
Henry sufficient to prove his guilt, caused
his arrest.
After hearing the testimony Commission
err Pride decided to require Henry to give
a bond in the sum Of 81 900 for his appear
ance at the next term of the United States
Circuit Court to be held in Greenville. He
gave the required bond and was released.
His young wife was with him during most
of the investigation, and her devotion Gre
ated considerable sympathy for the defend
ant.
Services were held in all the churches in
this place on yesterday morning. l regret
to say that this is something unusual. 1t is
seldom that there is service in all the church
es in our town on the same Sunday.
The prospect for good fruit crop in this
section is very encouraging, and unless we
are yet visited with some severe weather
the crop will be large one. HAL.

JEFFERSON DAVIS TO SPEAK.-The
Monumental Committee of Montgomery,
Alabama, has received from Jefferson
Davis, eX-President of the Confederacy, a
letter formally accepting the invitation to
lecture in Montgomery in behalf OF the mon
ument to be erected on the Capitol grounds
in that city in memory of the Alabama
soldiers who died in the civil war. Mr. Da-
Wis will 20 there about the last OF April.
His lecture will be delivered in large rye
ware house with a seating capacity of 5000
persons. He will also lay the cornerstone
of the monument, which will cost $5O, 1000,
of which $4,000, or enough to complete the
pedestal, has already been raised. John
w. Daniel, Of Virginia, has been invited
to deliver an address on that occasion: All
the men who bore prominent part IN the
civil and military service OF the Confeder-
ate Government have been invited 10 be
present to meet Mr.. Davis, as also many
prominent men North, and ex-Union Cen
erals now in active service. All the Ala
bama State troops, some 3O companies
strong will be there and invitations Will be
sent to militia companies OF all the states,
North and South. Great interest IN the
occasion centres in the fact that on the porch
of the Capitol building in Montgommery
Jefferson Davis took the oath of office as
ernmcnt was there organized.
Two WORTHY MINIsTERs.-Says the
Concord, n. c., Times Rev. j: +. Presley,
ID. d., has offered his resignation as pastor
of the Coddle Creek Church. For thirty.
five wears he has been the faithful pastor OF
that church, and sewers that relation on ac-
count of accumulated years and bodily IN
trinity. His years of active work in the
ministry of good to humanity are ABOUT
numbered, but the work itself and its intiu-
ence will 20 on in it's good mission until the
day of final reward to this good man.
Concerning another faithful minister the
Charlotte Democrat of Friday says:
Our friend, Rev. John Hunter, of Sharon
township, had a severe attack of nervous
prostration while preaching at new Asso-
ciate Reformed Church in Morning Star
township last Sunday morning. MIR. Hunt,
er had only began his sermon when he fell
to the floor. AS Mr.. Hunter is somewhat
advanced in years the attack was probably
caused by over-exertion, mentally and
physically. He is one of the best men in
this section, and his many friends hope for
his speedy restoration to good health.

THE FARMERS MovEMENT.-COlone D.
Wyatt Aiken, one of the leading agricult-
uralists of our State has the following to
say of the farmers movement, which
strikes US as the most sensible view OF the
situation:
81 think it we'll that the farmers should
meet in convention to make known their
grievances but let them do so in calmness
with truthful facts before them" After
advising them to consider the lien law,
the assessment of property for taxation and
the agricultural department, he says:
"These and many other topics peculiarly
agricultural, are Legitimate subjects for in
vestigation by farmers. At the same time
no other interest will be in the least antag0sc
nized. For the farmer to array himself
against other classes would be such folly
that | do not suppose such step would be
tolerated in any Of the conventions now
soon to be held"

RAILROAD MATTERS.

Concerning the progress Of the work on
the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago
Railroad, the Shelby Ne'0 Era Of last week
says:
The weather of the past week, favorable
to all kinds of outdoor work, has been i'm
proved by the several contractors on our
railroads. Between Shelby and Blacks
the amount of work done is such as to
indicate the completion of that section on
or before May Both. Those having con-
tracts for delivering timber have made
good showing and for some of the trestles
and bridges all that is required is now on
the ground. Those having contracts for the
construction of trestles have made good
progress and the crossing at Buffalo Will
soon be completed.
The Shelby aurora of last week says:
The Massachusetts and Southern Con-
struction Company have shown push and
enterprise since November. The entire
route from Rutherfordton to Blacks is un-
der contract or completed. Six miles from
Rutherfordton to Forest City have been
graded and the bed is now read y for the
iron. One half of the work of grading
from Blacks to Shelby is finished and on
the other half a large force is now at work.
Colonel Cotton informed US that he
thought the construction train would reach
OHtlUJ Ou oCtouCA l, low AHH. ~ -'O"
no doubt of the road being built and run
from Blacks to Rutherfordton. So Ruth
erford will be happy and soon awake to
new life and prosperity. The Massachusetts
and Southern Construction Company have
developed backbone and capital, and say
they will Immediately after the compile
ton of the 40 miles from Rutherfordton to
Blacks, build another 40 miles each direc-
ton from Blacks southwark and from Ruth
erfordton northward towards Tennessee.
Some suggest that the Air Line is ready
and willing to aid them. 1t is asserted that
Colonel Frank Coke is backing with his
money the railway venture of the Massa-
chusetts and Southern Construction Com
pany.
Concerning movements on the other end
of the line, the NeD Era says: Captain
Ramsaur has pushed the preliminary line
of the Massachusetts and Southern Con-
struction Company below Lancaster and
will reach Camden this week.
The Lancaster RerieaC of Thursday says:
We have just received information that in
order to induce the new railroad company
to cross the river at LandsfOrd, Lancaster
will have to contribute one hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars to the enter
prise. We do not know whether this is
the ultimatum of the company or not, but
we would suggest to the friends OF the
enterprise in this county not to become dis
couraged, for the present at least. Await
further DEVELOPMENTS.

The town of Huntington, the
junction of the o. Il. & y. and the
Oregon Short Line railroads. has
contributed money enough with
the aid promised by the railroads
TO build a wagon-road down the
west side Of Snake River To the
Brownlee Ferry and from there
over to Pine Creek and then up
Pine Creek to the new mines. The
distance is sixty-fiye miles and no
heavy grades. This will probably
become the outlet Of the Heath
District mines in Idaho as they lie
only six miles above the Brownlee
Ferry on Tributary of Brownlee
Creek. Mineral District, twenty
five miles northwest Of Weiser
City, viii be about ten miles from
this road, but the distance from
that point to Huntington is as far
as it is from the mines TO Weiser
City and Of course will not divert
the trade from Weiscr unless it be
20 send ore west to Portland. There
are many coves an small flats
along Snake River, mostly on the
Idaho side adapted to fruit grow
ing, peaches, grapes, appricots, or
al the other fruits raised in Idaho
and a sure crop in that locality.
and this road will make an outlet
so that the fruit can be sent either
way on the railroad to a good
market and these places will be
sought after ana improved by fruit
growers. The road should be buiIi
by all means.-S,a esman.
