THz QUEENS JUBILEE.
An EXtensiv4 Memorial Suggested by
ths tmce of Wales.

The Prince 81 Wales has sent letter to
the Lord Mayor of London, suggesting as
suitable memorial of the Queens jubilee
the establishment of permanent Imperial,
Colonial and Indian institute, on the basis
of the present exhibition for the promotion
of emigration and the expansion of colonial
trade. For this purpose he proposes that a
fund be opened at the Mansion House, the
proceeds of which should be vested in
body of trustees to be appointed by the
Queen, and that the heir apparent be made
president of the institute. The Lord Mayor
in reply said it would give him the greatest
pleasure thus to allow the people of the
empire TO testify TO their love of the Queen.

EHitor Press uHd RunHcr:
Having recently left dear old Ahbevillc, the
home of my childhood, my thoughts natural
~ revert back to the dear friends we have left,
and Just here allow me through your vaua-
bic paper to express the gratitude of myself
and family for The many kind acts extended
to us by our neigbbOrS and friends before we
left Tor this our new home.
We arrived about o'clock p. m. of the same
day, all safe and without accident, aud owing
to the careful! driving of our truSly tcamstrrS,
not Il thing was broken All praise To them.
Our new cottage Is pretty and conveniently
arranged, and through the courtesy of our
ob3iging landlord will soon be finished, when
VIC will be most comfortably situated and per-
fcrtly at home. Our welcome here by this
kind and good people was shown hv acts of
Kindness and cordial greetings. such aS ''wc
welcome You" 1--we are glad 10 see you,' &c.
Our first visit was to the house OF mourning
where duty and sympathy for hcrcavcd
friends called us. Oh, what grief and sorrow
was there! We have seldom If ever attended
Il funeral where there w:lS such hcartrcndiug
grief and SO great and general sympathy
shown. Too much praise cannot hr given TO
this generous and sympathetic community.
Every store was closed the entire day and all
business suspended, and every one seemed
sad over the death OF VIM. y. Scott, one OF
Mt. carnClS best citizens.
If my letter is not east into the waste bae-
ket may write a"uin. With kind wishes for
you and the people uf AGDcvilic, remain
yours truly, NJ.

The TiIiman Movement.

We publish in another column a. editorial
from the NeWba2y Observer on the Ransom
Tillman controversy. In connection with it,,
we would say that any proposition which
looks to the bcttcring os the condition of the
people and which has for its object n rcduc-
tion of the taxes, must have the sympathy of
Il large proportion OF our people. The Press
N,ad Banner is in entire sympathy with sach 4
movement, but we have taken no stock in the
wholesale effort OF Mr.. Tilman TO bring the
State and its officers into public contempt or
ridiculc. We have not published Mr.. Till
mans letters because of their temper, and foI
The reason that we cndcavor TO exclude from
our paper such literature as abounds with
coarScnesS or abusive epithetS. We believe
the State officers Legislative, Executive and
Judicial--Sincc 1876 have been men OF ire
rroachable private character, and of unSul-
part in the personal abuse of the men who
may have been our official representatives.
But for all this, we believe our Legislature has
fllien into errors or into habits of eXtrara-
.ancc, against which acts the people have IL
right to protest, and We believe that Mr.. Till
man has inauguratcd q movement which will
result in good. In our humble way of think
ing there is no earthly excuse for an increase
of our rate of taxation, when the assessed
property of the State has increased San,O10 U0,
and when the receipts from our phosphate
royalty is Sl3l, 900 more than ii was in 1851.

The Schools.

While it. may be lawful fol the school trus.
tees To open the public schools on the first Of
November. if they so determine, yet IL would
seem that those trustees who are not in SYM
patty with the School Commissioner in the
reduction OF tho salaries of teachers, might
defer action until the incoming commissioner
is installed into Office. 1t is his determination
10 have tho salaries reduced, so that the school
term may he greatly increased, but If the
schools are opened on The first of November,
and the present high salaries maintained for
two months great part of the public money
for the school year will he exhausted before he
assumes the duties Of his office The school
year, it seems TO us, should commence with
the Scloni Commissioners term OF Office and
end with his term. by tho present system OF
overlapping the School Commissioner has the
management Of but one whole school term.

Clubbing.

TriS is the season Of the year when enter
pri>ing publishers of newspapers propose Ia
get country editors to act as agents for their
publications. We may be mistaken, but VIC
arc Of the opinion that if the country editor
would rely on his own efforts, and not upon
merits of Il distant publication, that his pros.
pcriiy would DC Increased. Almost every
mail furnishes us with propositions to club
with some publication. In long career, we
have at different times tried the clubbing
plan, and We have never made cent by It,
but have incurred expense for postage, had
trouble in writing letters, and an endless
amount OF vcxaton. The Press and Bdnnc,
docs not propose to go into clubbing business
Just now.

Can the State Afford 1t.
GSunter JVutchn,nn and So,ahron.I

We see the Nevs and Courier and Columbia
Register are earnestly calling for IN extra ses-
sion uf the Legislature TO devise means for
raising mony to loan to Charleston at q low
rate Of interest, to enable her to repair the
earthquake damages.
The county papers have said but little on
the subject because IL seems ungfacious TO op.
pose any measure looking to the rchabilitil-
iion of stricken Charleston, but we are in
cincd to think that Il general opposition Is
felt to such move.
The present debt OF the State, though COM
parativc!y small, Is sufficiently bnrdenSome
in cause restivcncss among the taxpayers,
and thoy will hardly consent that the debt
should be almost doubled, even with Il fair as
smrance that Charleston will pay the interest.
We think such an act on the part OF the Leg
islaiurc wonld he of doubtful policy. and do
not believe 1t would pass, and as considerable
expense would attend an cNtrn session, Gov.
ernOr Sheppard Will do right In refusing To
make the call.
In 1881, we believe, there was almost n fam
Inc in some parts of Sumter county, and
meetings were held, and resolutions adopted
asking tor some assistance from the Stale.
These resolutions were ridlcued by some who
now favor State uid to Charleston, and we can
not see where Charleston has claims equal to
thorc Of our famine stricken farmers at that
time. We can not see why Charleston should
by the aid of the Stale. borrow money at per
cent. while there Is Il mnrttage over the farm
erS' interests for which 10 or 70 or - per cent.
Is paid. We can not perceive why sections OF
the state whose people were In danger of act
ual starvation should be neglected when the
call for help Is made, whils Charleston, whose
people fare sumptuuusy every day should be
aided.
There is no claim made that Charleston cam
not borrow the money for rebuilding, bnt she
wants it at 1 per cent. And so do we all.
Money at per cent. would enable every pru-
dent and industrious farmer in sumter coun-
" tn gct crcn with the world in five years !;
and why should they not have it rs we'll rs

it was desirable to hold an informal meeting

Intcndant Waller, Maj. Mills was introduced
to the audience. He spoke about forty min
utes, first describing the route, naming the
different townships, through which the road
Will pass, and the amounts which these town
ships have already given with what they are
willing to give in future. He then spoke OF
the encouraging outlook, which predicts the
sure and speedy success OF the enterprise
closing with an earnest appeal TO all SUP
scribe and those who would now subscribe

payment OF ut least fifty per cent OF the orig

corps now in the field may be supplied with
improved instruments, first class and COM
Portable outfits, and above all, paid promptly
while surveying and locating the road this

Major Mills. He then asked all present to
show their confidence III the undertaking

named accompanied me to Augusta and heard
these statements used by me. They are now
in my possession and ure in the handwriting
of the officers named. The statement of the
treasurer of the township subscription Is
known to be correct. The individual sub

they acted upon them. The following are tho
