An Engines Desperate Leap.

Passenger train No. 45, north bound,
over the Atlantic coast line, due here at
10 o'clock a. M, made very narrow
escape yesterday morning from plunging
through the trestle about two miles below
Rock Mount, station on the Whining.
ton & Weldon Railroad. When the
train had rolled up within few yards of
the trestle, Thos. NJ. Milland, the engi.
neer, discovered it to be ou fire, and that
portion of it had been burned and the
rails only left standing. Approaching
the danger, and knowing that it would
be impossible for him to stop the train
before reaching the trestle he bravely
remained at his post of duty, although
conscious that if the train went through
the trestle he would either be killed or
injured, together with tho passengers, of
whose lives he was more or less the Gus
todian. AS quick as fash the thought
occurred to the brave engineer that the
best way to avert the threatened accident
was for the entire train to pass over that
portion of the trestle which had been
burned as rapidly as possible. lie at
once opened wide the valve of the loco.
motive, and when the train reached the
trestle it was going at speed of sixty
miles an hour. AT this rate of speed the
train passed over the trestle, but so great
was the concussion that followed that
one of the cars broke from the coupling
and all the lights in the coaches WEI
extinguished. The passengers were all
badly shaken up and considerably fright
ened, but fortunately no one was hurt

CLOSING THE COMMON SCHOOLS.

The correspondence with the State
sSupaript sndent of Education which was
published by Col. John g. Clinkscales,
our able and courteous School Commits
sioner in the Teachers Column of the
INTELLIaENcER last week, presents a
problem that is difficult of solution. 1t
seems from that article that our Commis-
sioner has, acting under the advice ofthe
State Superintendent of Education, about
concluded to close the Common Schools
for the present. The trouble grows out
of the change made last Winter in the as
ssssment laws. Heretofore the assessment
OF: property has been made in the Sum.
mer, and under the law the School Com
missioner is required to apportion the
school fund "on the first day of February.
OF as soon thereafter as practicable" !"
The school fund for any given year can
only be ascertained in advance of its
collection from the assessed valuation of
property, for it consists of the poll tax
and two mills on the dollar Of taxable
property. In the session of 1884 5, the
Legislature changed the time of assessing
property 20 January instead Of June, and
did not make any change in the law di-
rectipg the School Commissioner to ap.
portion the school funds. The assess
ment will not be complete for several
months, and the School Commissioner
now has nothing to go on in making an
ppotionment Of the school fund. For

Two Women and two Ases Suspend
n Blockade Distillery.

Edward c. Tucker, typical moonshi-
ner, was brought into the city from Gwin-
nett County tonight. On the same train
were two respectable looking matrons,
Mrs. NJ. G. Buchanan, aged G5, and
Mrs. A. J. Johnson, aged. 50. Tucker
is the principal and the ladies arc the
witnesses in case Of illici. distiling.
1t seems that Tucker lives just on tie
line of Walton County, while about
three miles from him, in tie town
District of Walton, the two ladies live,
near neighbors. Mrs. Buchanan is the
mother of three sons, and is member
of the Methodist Church. Mrs. John.
son worships in the neighboring Baptist
congregation and is the mother of two
soas. These ladies are held in the high.
est esteem by their neighbors. Midway
between their home and that of Tucker
there is an illicit still which has been in
operation for years. Every night and all
day long on Sundays the young men Of
the community would hang around this
resort, among them the sons Of the ladies
above named. The mothers sent writ.
ten warning to the stillers to Break up
their haunt, but it went unheeded. Sew.
eral nights ago the men, who were
carousing around the spot, were aston
ished by the appearance of Mrs. Buch.
anan and Mrs. johnson in their midst.
They carried upon their shoulders axes,
and fire was seen in thei- eyes. They
at once set to work chopping up the
establishment, and all the liquor was
turned out upon The ground. Reaching
the copper still, they chopped away on it
until it was good for nothing. The
young men would allow no one to molest
their mothers. When the women had
finished their work they swung their axes
upon their shoulders and walked away.
Upon their journey home they nailed
notices, which they had already pre-.
pared, upon the trees. These notices
warned the liquor makers that the women
had organized themselves for the war and
any still, whether illicit or Eot, estab.
lished within ten miles would be- visited
by them and destroyed. These acts were
followed by great excitement throughout
the country. The better class of people
approved the conduct of the intrepid
ladies, while the lower classes threatened
10 visit thei:: wrath upon them. The
churches sustained the valiant sisters. 1t
was thus that the matter reached the
ears Of the revenue officials, and hence

Prospects of Tho Blair Bin.
WASHINGTON, January THE Sem
ate committee on education has consid--
cred and submitted q favorable report on
the Blair educational bill. 1t is reported
from the committee substantially as it
passed the Senate in the last Congress-
The report states that since the bill was
last considered in the Senate this meas.
ure has been generally and thoroughly
discussed throughout the country, and
probably public sentiment is more hear
iily in favor of it now than ever before.
Tie language of the old report is repro.
duced and immediate consideration is
urged in the Senate so that the House
may have ample opportunity TO consider
it during the present session.
Senator Hampton, in speaking to
your correspondent on the subject says
he is still friend of Tho bill and he pre-.
diets that it will pass the Senate again
without serious opposition. He is also
of the opinion that it mas more friends
in the House at present than heretofore
and if brought to vote it may pass.
Just now there is no telling what effect
Representative Aiken's absence will have
on this measure. He has again been
placed at the head of the education com.
mittee and to this committee the Blair
bill will be sent after it has been report
ed to the House. From present advices
Mr.. Aiken will probably be detained
away from his legislative duties the
greater part of this session by reason of
illness, and it is questionable whether
the education committee would care to
pass upon such an important matter du.
ring the absence of the chairman,
especially when it is known that he does
not favor the bill and regards it as IN.
constitutional.
Silver Men Intend to Fight.
Representative Hemphill, who has
been made member of the House COM
mittee on coinage, weights aud measures,
proposes to make speech on the silver
question at the earliest opportunity. As
to the composition of the committee Mr..
Hemphill, who favors the repeal or mod
ifcation of the Bland bill, says that tine
silver matter will be taken up without
prejudice and thoroughly discussed be-
fore bill is framed An effort will be
made to harmonic present conflicting
interests, but the work will be up hill all
the way through. On the other hand,
Chairman Bland, of the coinage COM
mittee, is outspoken in the declaration
that the committee was made up in the
interest of suspension of silver coinage,
ard lie further says that matters have
reached crisis and he will at once in
augurate q war on the Administration
for the policy enunciated by President
Cleveland in the last annual message to
Congress; that bitter fight has been
agreed upon by the silver men, aud they
will not be dissuaded from their purpose,
as settlement is desired of this vexed
question.

the schools would prove injurious to the
cause of education in our midst. Some.
thing ought to be done to keep them
open as usual. So far as the section of
the law requiring the apportionment of
the school fund to be made in February
is concerned, we think it has been treated
entirely as directory provision, for no
literal apportionment Of the school
fund has been made in this County since
the Democrats came into possession of
the State government. The Act evident
ly meant that after the school fund was
collected in November and December,
the School Commissioner should appor.
tion it; but the collection of taxes has
been thrown one year behind by the
contest Of 1876, aud hence our School
Commissioners have invariably appor,
toned the school fund in advance Of its
collection. The School Commissioners
have approximated the fund and appor-
toned it out, and we see no reason why
this might not be done now. Ordinarily
we think it would be best for the schools
to be closed, but iu the present financial
stringency it will be bad policy to with.
draw the expenditure of the school fund
from the resources of the people. We
ought to get ahead with the collection of
our taxes, and it might not be bad idea
for the schools to stand still aud thus
catch up at some time, but we do not
think this an opportune occasion for the
change.

relief of the people by being judiciously
expended in such W ys as to put it in
the most diffused circulation. Congress
should not do any act to produce fnan-
cial trouble, but should seek to remove
that which exists. 1t should, therefore,
do nothing calculated to provoke further
hostility to the silver dollar, but should
make it the equal in every way of the
gold dollar.

Senator Eustis, of Louisiana, has in
troduced in the Senate a resolution
directing the Secretary Of the Treasury
to make the next payment of interest on
the national debt in silver instead of
gold, and it is thought by many that the
resolution will pass Congress: We trust
not, for even if it be desirable change
the present period of financial stringency
is most inopportune time for fomenting
financial connections by legislation. In
our judgment, the best financial legisla-
ton which the present Congress can
adopt would be to pass the Mcpherson
banking bill, which would permit ma
tional banks to issue money up to the
face value of the bonds held by them on
deposit with the Secretary of the Treas.
ury, instead of ninety per cent. as now
allowed. This would add ten per cent.
to the circulating medium of the country,
and would in a large measure tend to
relieve the pressing wants of the country
by increasing the loans until another
crop can be made. This bill ought by
all means to be passed. Then we think
the compulsory coinage of silver should
be Immediately stopped, and provision
made for the interchange of the present
silver dollar at the United States Treasu-
ry for gold or gold certificates in sums of
five dollars or upwards. The effect of
this would be to make the silver dollar
not only equal to gold in theory, but
equal to itin the confidence of the people.
1t would also prevent the speculation
which would follow the unconditional
suspension of silver coinage. Congress
should do this, and then pass the Blair
Educational Bill, by which about ST..
100000 would be put into circulation.
about s50O,000 of this would come to
South Carolina, and go into every town
ship in the State. 1t would be thorough
ly distributed, aud besides helping our
common schools would add for eight
years half million dollars year to our
material resources. This, with liberal
appropriations for important rivers and
harbors, would put the large sum of
money which has been accumulated in
the federal treasury to work among the
people, and would 60 very far towards
relieving the present temporary depress-
ion. Then by modifying the tariff 80 as
to adjust it to a money basis, and collect
only enough revenue to safely meet the
requirements of the government, we
think sound. financial policy would be
reached by the government. Such a
financial policy as this would, we think,
meet as fully as the government can the
present troubles, and would provide for
the future by reducing the burdens of
the people. High protection has, we
believe, contributed largely to the present
depression, and it is the duty of Con-
gress as speedily as possible to relieve
the country of this burden. There is no
sound reason for keeping the enormous
reserve fund on hand which is now in
the national treasury, and therefore we
think it should be made available for the

cents on the dollar. To our mind this is

reasons. Insthe first place, the interest
on the public deb. is promptly paid in
gold. Hence the bondholders have not
been hurt by the excessive silver coinage.
sInthe next place, the government bonds

gold or silver, or, we believe, in United

and the bondholders will be paid more
relatively even if their debt is paid in
silver than the contract on their bonds

been that they were payable in silver.
The composition Of The silver dollar has
not been changed, and therefore there
would be no bad faith on the partof the

The Keowee Courier of last wees

lQe Ae0Wee COuTaeT VI idst "eeh.
says:
The Anderson INTELLIGEN GER, in its
criticisms of Mr.. Biemann and the Act
repeating the prohibitory liquor law of
Oconee, is hardly just. tits not correct
that all Of Ocones County is dry except
Walhalla. as West Union has the right
equal with Walhalla to license barrooms.
Its statement that Mr.. Bienann has had
monopoly of liquor selling for many
years is also incorrect, as, except two years,
Walhalla had three bars, aud during the
first of these West Union had bar, and
during the last, the sole right of Biemann
arose from the fact that he had obtained
his license and paid for it before the
prohibitory law went into effect. while
others had not. We think our contem.
porary is wrong, too, in assuming that
Mr.. Biemann, will now have monopoly,
as any one who will pay his money and
give q good bond will be able to get
license. We presume this. as our council
will hardly make a distinction among
men of good standing. We deem it
right to make this correction, though We
preferred the law. should stand until
fairly tried. We were always willing to
modify the law so as to grant bottle
license, but5oPposed the drink system as
likely to corrupt the young. :.
The INTELL1GENcER did not wish to
convey any wrong impression about the
Oconee liquor Law, and therefore it
cheerfully publishes the cburiers com.
ments, which go to show that .yvalhalla
and West Union both have the right to
grant license, and that Mr.. Biemann has
not had the exclusive right to sell in
Walhalla but two years, and in the
County but one year. The only mistake
in the INTELL1eENCER's article was in
supposiug that West Union was dry
before the County prohibitory law was
passed. The INTELLreENcER meant to
call attention to the fact that although
Seneca, Westminster, and perbaps..other
towns in Oconee County, were made dry
by legislative enactment just as Walballa
was, except that the latter was made so
by County Act, yet in the repeating
Act only Walhalla, and it nov transpires
that West Union also were given the
right to sell liquors. 1t struck us. that it
was largely species of personal legisla-
ton. Of course we do not know how
many saloons will be opened in Walhalla,
but we imagine the matter is settled now,
and We would like for our contemporary
to publish the number and names of the
prcprietors of barroonls aud the sum
charged for license, and we promise that
we will publish it for the information Of
the public. 1t seemed to us that if there
was any reason based on principle why
the prohibition law should be repealed
for Walhalla and West Union, it also
applied to the cases Of Seneca and West
minister.
