Township Subscriptions to Railroads

AOWuDulP ouOscrAptAOhS ~ nAhAEofsuS.
We copy from the News and Courier a syn
epsis Of the recent decision of the Supreme
Court in the case OF Floyd and other tax
payers in Ninety+Six township against Treas
urer ]. w. Perrin.
The decision is in favor Of the taxpayers,
and sustains the recent decision Of Judge
Norton In which he held at Abbevil!e that
subscriptions by townships we're unconstitu.
tional, and that the money paid by the resist
ing taxpayers should be refunded to them by
the County Treasurer.
Unless the United States Court overrules
the decision Of the Supreme Court this decis-
ion may be set down as f1nality.
The exact effect Of the decision, and the ex-
tent TO which this particular case will govern
is yet In doubt. But 1t is certain that all pro-
eess'and all machinery OF the law as against
the protesting taxpayers OF Ninety-Six is
estopped-the decision actually referring only
TO Floyd and his associates in the suit upon
which decision has been rendered-but, con-
strnctively, 1t refers to all the taxpayers in
any townships where railroad bonds have
been issued. The effect, therefore. OF this de-
cision ia to open the eyes Of the taxpayers ev-
erywhere to the fact that they, too. may re-
sist the further payment of railroad tax. II
they take the proper legal steps to relieve
themselves Of the obligation.
Strictly within itself, the decision will have
but little effect on either a majority OF the
taxpayers OF Ninety-Six or the holders of the
township bonds.
TGprotesting taxpayers are few in num-
ber, an nthe gross amount Of their taxes is
not large that the interests OF the bond
holders 10 only effected to limited ex.
tent Tp exemption OF the protesting
taxpave,s from their share OF the burden
In auestYn can in no way involve
tho RIGHT, or the interests Of those who
wiIlinslypay the railroad tax. Their burden
is neithe' increased nor reduced by this de-
cIsion. The only effect that 1t can have Is
that .he treasurer cannot collect sufficient
fund.- to pay the full amount OF the stipu-
lat,d interest. Whatever is short OF that
amount will be a loss to the holder of the
bonds, and can In no way effect the willing
Taxpayers.
The taxpayers who petitioned for the elec.
tion and who voted for the tax will hardly be
willing for the holders Of the bonds to suffer-
In 80 far as they are individually concerned,
and they will, in all probability, 60 on paying
the taxes, az heretofore.
But In case they too should seek TO be re-
lieyed, the bondholders might possibly raise
q legal question against them which they
could not raise against the protesting tax
payers.
The petition for the election may figure
again In that suit as it figured in the suit
which has just been ended. The wording Of
that petition and the signature Of the tax
payer upon 1t. may have to be passed upon
by the courts. The holders OF the bonds Will
NO doubt contend that the signing Of the Pc

Don't Give Up.

The recent decision OF the Supreme Court
will no doubt have q depressing effect upon
the projectors Of railroad enterprises, but VIC
would say to them. be not cast down. Do not
abandon your work. If the people really
mean to build the roads now in contempa
ton, they can build them. No material
wealth has been taken away from the coun'
try, and the people can build roads now as
we'll as before-if they are willing to give theii
money. The counties, cities and towns can
vote subscriptions as heretofore. and private
individuals can give as much as they please
to railroads.

Income and Expenses.

Men who are engaged in business,
whether large or small, usually have.
a set of books in which are recorded
the progress and state Of that business.
ALI the money I received is recorded,
and all they pay out is also recorded.
At stated periods they compare the
two records, and take an account OF
stock on hand, as well as of debts due
from them and good debts due to.
them and in this way they ascertain
whether they are making money, or
losing money, and If the former, how.
much they are making. No man can
wisely or safely conduct business with
out such system of accounts in re-,
spect to his business. He cannot car,
ry it in his head.
If all men, whether engaged in bus
iness or acting as employees and receiv-
ing salaries or daily wages, would keep
a regular account with themselves, In
which should appear in detail all the!
money they receive, and all they ex-
pend, they would live more wisely,
and asia rule far more successfully.
Here, for example, is man who Is In.
receipt of salary at the rate OF two
thousand dollars year, and who has
a family to support. This salary he
receives, in twelve monthly payments.
Let us suppose him to keep an account
with himself. When he receives q
monthly payment he charges himself
as debtor to that amount; and during
the month he credits himself with all
he pays out, item by item. At the end
of the month he settles this account
with himself, and sees on paper just
where the money came from and just
where it has gone. If he spent less
than he received he carries the surplus
on to the next month, and keeps an
account of the month in the same
way, and thus continues for the whole
year. At the end of the year he can
look back over the whole period, and
see in black and white just how he has
lived in the matter of personal and
family expenses. If his whole salary
has been spent he can see how 1t was
spent; and, if part of 1t has been
saved, he can equally see how he man
aged to save it.
No person will thus deal With him-
self in the matter of income and ex-
penses without teaching himself many
useful lessons. His own history thus
placed before him will be an instruct
i've one to himself, since it will reveal
to him in items his wisdom or folly IN
his manner of living. The truth Is,
that most men in this world succeed
by economy in little savings, or fail by
prodigality in little things. A regular
account kept with ones self will show
him this fact, placing before his eye
either his wisdom or his error; and II
the latter, suggesting to him where
and in what he needs to make
change.
The question of expenses, as COM
pared with income, is a very vital
question in the matter of economical
thrift. The man who spends all he
receives, if poor, will always keep
himself in that state. He who spends
less than he receives will be constantly
his financial condition.

LIND GRARBERS.

Referring 10 ths prlvz.e letter pub
lished in THx GAZETTE OF yesterday, in
which tne writer suGges ed to rs to esy
TO strangers that they could jump apy
section which ikey found uGoccupied,
TEE GAZETTE did suggest to actual set
tiers to Jump fictitious claims wherever
they Hsy exist, and the law would pro-
tc OF then ia their rights. That no il JUS
explain tbs situation according to our
Best infor&a ion. The school lands lave
been slli 10 elzimauts under two acts-
the act OF 1888 AID the act OF 1887. Under
the forme, act the lands were Sod upon
thirty years. tine, ard under the
latter act upon forty year. time. At the
time the former act went into eject the
price, 50 90 per acre, was looked upon as
high, land the sales were not large. This act
OF 1883 was ambiguous and weak, in the
matter of requiring actual and continuous
settlement from the purchaser end wss
repealed in 1887, when the new act OF 1887
WAS passed. The act OF 1887 is clear and
positive, requiring continuous settlement
sBd occupancy for q period OF three
years, and the state will probably fo:feit
claims upon lands under this ect, which
have not been continuously occupied.
Parties jumping lands under this act
tina. ere not occupied will prooa-
bly, hold them, and obtain perfect
titles from the state, by compliance with
the law. In regard to claims under the
set Of 1888 our Supreme court has made
decisions wherein it is stated that ccntin-
nous occupancy is cot required by the
law. o her decisions of the Supreme
cosrt have SO interpreted this act that
ary persons jumping claims taken up IN
der The act Of 1888 will probably
lose their jump. We understand
that Commissioner Hall will not
forfeit lands purchased under this
act, except for ncn-payment Ct
interest, ano further, we understand
that he has agents in the field taking OBJ
servations in regard to. claims under the
act of 1887. All annual interest due the
state upon these lands is payable upon
the LIST Of August. We do not speak by
authority, but the state msy declare 8
good many OF these lands forfeited under
the act Of 1887, previous to August, and
decline to receive further payment OF in
terest upon them st that time.
