The Neaus and Courier says Charleston
has been full of rumors recently about
The alleged proposition to purchase all
the phosphate lands in South Carolina
by an English syndicate. We are in
formed that the rumor was we'll found
ed, and that such proposition had been
made by a company Of English capital
lists to broker in that city who is trying
.tonegotiate the purchases. A schedule
Of the cost of the principal tracts has
been prepared, and will be submitted to
the would-be purchasers. The amount
of money involved will be about ten
millions Of dollars, and the syndicate, if
the bargain is consummated, intends to
operate large mills, which will greatly
increase the general amount of business
J in this field. It will probably be some
months before any definite end will be-
! reached, but the fact that the proposal is
being made by men of practically unlim.
tied capital makes it most interesting
one to phosphate owners. The next
month will probably show whether or not
this great sale will be consummated.

It would not be proper to mention the
names here, because our information
was private and to some extent hearsay.

Hampton will not be reelected. The

Anderson County's Representatives
left last Monday morning for Columbia
to attend the Legislature which is now
in session. This is an important epoch
in the history of South Carolina, aud
should be marked by cool, calm and con-
servative action on the part of our pub
lie men. No partizan spirit should
manifest itself in any department of the
Government, and very especially in the
law-making department. We do not
apprehend anything of the sort, but
merely wish to caution against such a
foolish thing. There will, in all proba-
bility, be some very extreme men. in the
present body, and those who do not cal
culate very far into the future, and we
desire to raise our voice against such,
and to warm the more conservative
against allowing any, if there be such,
who would undertake to legislate in the
interest of part ofthe people against
the interest of the other part, to succeed
iu their partizan efforts. However, it is
impossible, under our Constitution, to
impose very much on part Of the people
in the interest of others, aud ne do not
presume that there will be many, if any,
with such motives. We should not ex-
pect too much of the law makers, for
they can neither help nor hurt US much,
if We will only go along and do our duty
one to another. Laws are not made to
control men who do their duty, but to
deter the evil.minded from the commis-
sion of crime and to punish them for it,
and to lay down rule to govern those
who are not disposed to do right in their
dealings with their fellow men. The
law never interferes with man in the
discharge of duty. 1t is only when be
leaves the path of duty that the majesty
of the law comes in and says thou shalt
or thou shalt not. As We have already
said, we hope to see genuine spirit OF
conservatism mark the work of the pres
ent Legislature.
