THE E.APPORTIONMENT QUESTION.

The Chester Reporter OF last week con-
tains the full text of a speech delivered by
Senator Patterson before the Chester Coun-
ty Farmers Association, On the 4th in
slant, on the subject of re-apportionment.
The Senator makes an elaborate argument
in favor of the measure and concludes as
follows:
I am satisfied that the Democratic party
of the State is not responsible for and does
not approve of the rejection OF re-appor-
tionment. I am only surprised that there
has not been a more pronounced condem-
nation of it. The very silence of the
Democracy has emboldened the coterie
and weakened the true representatives OF
good faith and Democracy, as is seen in
the diminished majority in the House at
it's last session in favor OF r~e-apportIon-
ment. The party should at once and with
emphasis put it's seal of condemnatlon on
this and similar proceedings, or it Will be,
tray the high trust confided in 1T, and
show itself unworthy of the confidence of
the people. "
Acknowledgement is to be demanded for
other considerations than merely to carry
out the principles of abstract justice. The
most important legislation may turn, and
often does turn, as is we'll illustrated by
the history of this question, by a few
votes. The exclusion of n or a few law
full members, the admission of one or a few
persons not lawfully members, may be at
tended even in legislation with conse-
.auences of a most serious import.
And like all wrong it breeds and per-
petuates injustice. The State Democratic
Convention virtually elects all the officers
of the State and moulds the administra-
ton of its affairs. The State Convention
is formed by representation from each
county Just double what it has in the two
branches of the Legislature. If the evil
exists as pointed out, then Charleston coun-
ty will have eight more members in the
State convention, and Hampton, Aiken
and Richland each two members more
than they are entitled to while Edge
field, Laurens, Greenville, S~partanburg,
Marlboro, Sumter and Beaufort will have
two members each less than they are en-
titled to. See what damage might be
done to the rightful majority by the I'M
lawful admission of IA on one side and the
unlawful exclusion of IA from the other
in any choice for State offices in the State
convention. The whole policy OF the
State may by this means be controlled by
a minority to the serious detriment OF the
majority and of fright.
Nor will it do for US to fold our hands
and say "this is all wrong, but it will come
right in four years; for in 1891 there must
be a new apportionment under the new
amendment of 1885," If in 1884 and 1885
the plain provisions of the Constitution
were trampled upon, why may it not be
done again? Indeed it is much more
likely to be done again if we quietly sub
NIT to the wrong already done. If they
have done this in the green tree what will
they do in the dry? Experience proves
that silent submission to wrong invites fur
Their and repeated aggression.

For the Yorkville Enquirer.
WANTED--.M0R LIGHT.

EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER: l am glad
to say that "Studying the Finances seems
to have been concluded, so far as the EN-
QUIRER is concerned, with the second
chapter. Perhaps your readers are also
glad. 1 think, however, that they will
not be unwilling to have a little more
light on the subject from n competent to-
enlighten them.
"W.", your correspondent at Blacks,
volunteers to defend in this case. / do
not propose to enter into a controversy
with him, but act on the assumption that
we, ''the people". want more light. He
renews the charge of hostility. AS to
that, I have heard it said that a lawyer,
when he has a bad case, abuses the lawyer
on the other side, presumably to divert
attention from the ugly facts of the case.
What a pity that the lawyers should set
so bad an example, so quickly followed.
"W." says: II think the people will
say that the York delegation, including
the Honorable Senator, has accomplished
more solid good for the county than any
delegation for twenty years." OF course,
"W." does not intend, Shy parity of rea-
soning," to least grave reflections" upon
the other delegations since 1876 that are
comprised within those ''tWenty years."
Oh, no! neither upon their intelligence
nor their usefulness! 1.-The wrote thought
lessly, we must bear in mind that he re-
calls, in close proximity, that "Tis hui.
man to err" He does not think himself
infallible-that sort of folly he reserved
for zone of Them" Twas a sly way,
however, ofairing his own wisdom-seeing
that he is conscious of his own fallibility.
But, a truce to all that-we want more
light, and "W." writes as if he can en-
tighten us. l recall the fact that years
ago I tried to play newspaper correspon.
dent, and found itan irksome task. "W."
will lie in my debt, therefore, for this sug-
gestion lit will give him something to
write about: Tell as what they did! Re-
member, "W.," that you will be writing
for plain, honest folk. Tell US what they
did, and make it plain. "Wherefore by
their fruits we shall know them"
"One of Them" will be entirely willing
to give the late delegation all the credit
to which they are entitled, for-all charges
and %insinuations of personal feeling to the
contrary Observation-Disclosures is only
ONE OF THE PEOPLE.

LETTER FROM ROCK HIEL.

Rock HILL, February 13.-The ladies
of the Episcopal church gave an oyster
supper, in the express Office, On Thursday
night, which was very much enjoyed by
the citizens. The proceeds were quite sat-
isfactOry.
James Hicks, colored, who was attend
ing a leap year german, given in honor OF
some colored females, in Roddey's hall, on
Thursday night last, became engaged in a
difficulty with VIM. Jordan, another col
ored man. Hicks promptly drew from
his pocket the 'ready pistol" and fired at
Jordan. He missed his aim, however,
and the ball striking the floor glanced and
struck a colored man, inflicting a slight
wound. Hicks was arrested and placed in
the guardhouse. On Friday he was taken
before Trial Justice Whyte, charged with
assault and battery and carrying concealed
weapons. In default of bail he was sent
to jail to await his trial at the next term
of York Sessions Court.
Triedheim Agurs, a colored youth who
was charged with assault and battery and
petit larceny, was also given a hearing be-
fore Trial Justice Whyte, and in default
of bail committed to Jail for trial.
Electric bells have been placed in the
Carolina Hotel.
Mr.. James G.. Rhea and Miss A. Louise
Owens were married on Wednesday night
last, At the residence of the brides moth
er, Rev. +. N. Joyner officiating. The

Der of the friends of the contracting par
ties. The bride was beautifully arrayed
in a dress of cream albatross with diamond
satin front and cascade of point d'Alencon

ABOUT COTTON FACTORIES.

XThe Greenville News solves in a few words,
as follows, the problem Of building cotton fac
tories in the South as a profitable investment
of capital:
Many towns in the State are agitating the
building of cotton factories. The movement is
encouraging so far as it indicates an awakening
of the manufacturing spirit. But it should al
ways be held in mind that keen business fore
sight and executive ability are absolutely ne
cessary to make factories pay. Without such
ability to manage them, cotton factories are
likely to be expensive luxuries rather than
sources of profit to their owners and the town.

not fail to take their full allotment of 1850, 900
bales. The circular concludes with the state
ment that the production of cotton has not
kept pace with the consumption, for several
years past,

ing of money to the county, but like
wise in a very decided %diminution in the
number of cases heard in these courts.
The payment of salaries instead of fees
is especially proper in the case of judicial
officers. But a county court is unsuited
to country communities. Those who live
out of town need officers near at hand.
Besides, there must always be inferior
magistrates in considerable numbers, loca-
ted in different sections. TO pay these
and the proposed County Judge also,
it may be, the Trial Justice system is as
near as we can hope to come to a satisfacto-
ry system of inferior courts. Let these
officers all be salaried, let each have juris-
diction in q limited territory only, and
many of the troubles that induce the sug-
gestion that we have county courts will
rapidly disappear.-C0lumbi0 Record.

lHE OUMIER udlc
of last Friday the Sumter correspondent of
the NeWs and Courier writes:
P. G. Bowman, Jr., formerly of Bishop
Vile, who has recently removed to Vir-
ginia, returned to Sumter this morning and
swore out affidavits before Trial Justice
Stuckey, upon which warrants were issued
for the arrest of d. f. Keels and A. s..
Barrett, charging them with assault and
battery with a deadly weapon, and carry
ing concealed weapons. The charges are
the outcome of the difficulty at Bishop
Vile on January 10, 1887, in which P. G.
Bowman, Jr., wa shot by John R. Keels.
The parties will probably be arraigned to-
morrow, and give bail for their appear
ance at Court.
The Court of General Sessions convenes
here on Monday morning, the goth in
slant, Judge Fraser presiding. The cases
which Justice G.. E. Haynsworth was
killed accidentally will be called probably
early in the week, and of course the chief
interest in the Court centres around them.
There are a number of minor cases, the
outcome of the same feud, which will
probably be tried at this term.
And under date of Saturday he contin-
ues: This morning D. E. Keels and K.
Pennington made afidavits before Trial
Justice Miller, of Lynchburg, against P.
G.. Bowman, ST., and Walter I. Hardy,
charging them with assault and battery of
a high and aggravated nature and car
rying concealed deadly weapons. The
charges apply to the shooting ARRAY in
which Justice Haynsworth was killed.
Bowman was arrested this afternoon and
gave bond in the sum of 5000, Capt. B. G.
Pierson going on the bond. Hardy has
not yet been arrested.
Warrants will be issued tomorrow for
D. +. Keels and Pennington on similar
charges. Besides these cases there will
probably be some others of a like nature
which will be made in the course of
ing more and more complicated, and
if all the cases against the parties to
the feud are brought to trial it will doubt
less be a long time before the affair gets
out of the Courts.
CONGREss.-In the Senate On Monday
the Blair educational bill was considered,
and afterwards the resolution in regard to
the ineficiency of the mail service. A
vote will probably be reached to-day on
the much discussed educational bill. In
the House, the day was mainly DEVOTED to
the bill Furnishing the advertisement of
lottery tickets in the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Rogers, of Arkansas, opposed it on
constitutional grounds. He said, the bill
would prevent any paper, no matter where
published, from coming into the District,
and would infringe the liberty of the press.
Mr.. Hemphill, of South Carolina, who is
chairman of the committee on the District
of Columbia, and has charge of the bill,
did not agree that the provision of the bill
applied to any paper published outside of
question upon which the best lawyers
might differ. Mr.. Cummings, of New
York, spoke at length against the bill,
and after further discussion it was referred
to the committee on the judiciary.

THE PENSION ACT.-The pension Act
a]ppropriates $4,000 for disabled soldiers.
The number of applications so far shows
that this sum is inadequate. If we are to
pension soldiers at all it should not be done
in a niggardly ann The $50, 900 al
ready appropriated will hardly last three
months. AS these pensions are not paya-
BILE until fall, the Legislature can then see
by the record of applications exactly
what is needed and can then act according
to the light given them inns6oro News.
