This is Judge Izlar's first term of
court at Newberry, and so far he has
made very favorableimpression upon
our people. He seems very much at
home on the bench. In his charge to
the grand jury on Monday he referred
70 the subject Of taxation, and took oc-
casion to say, that the great burden of
taxation came from the county gov
ernment. His reference to the custom
of binding over so many witnesses IS
very true, but it is but just to say that
the Trial Justices have no discretion in
the matter when the attorney makes
affidavit that certain witnesses are ma
terial andasks that they be bound over.
And frequently the attorney does not
know who are material. 1t is very
difficult question.
AS to the matter Of the valuation of
property, we have no doubt the judge
is right.
We have little doubt that the County
Board OF Equalization for Newberry
has reduced the valuation of real estate
in this county outside of the towns
nearly 5000, 900 below what it was given
in at by the owners. The law, how
ever, is plain on that subject. They
cannot reduce it below the aggregate
valuation ftEe owners in their returns.
The question OF taxation is a big one.

THE MASSACHUSETTS IDEA.
A Shrewd Attempt to Steal the Vote of
the South.

WASHINGTON, March l5.-Represen-
tative Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, as chairman of the House
committee on the election of President
and Vice President, and Representa-
tives in Congress, to-day introduced a
bill to regulate the elections Of Repre-
sentatives in Congress. 1t is volumin-
Gus bill Of twenty-one sections.
The bill is q combination of the Aus
traian system with Federal control of
elections. The Australian system as in
force in Massachusetts, is adopted and
applied to the whole country in all Coz =
gressional and Presidential elections.
Each polling place is put in charge Of
six judges or supervisors, three repre-
senting each politica! party. The voters
who cannot read and write, and con-
sequently cannot mark their own
tickets. may have. tickets marked for
them by one OF the supervisors, in the
presence Of another representing the
opposite party.
Primarily elections are in control of
the States wherein they are held, but
upon petition of five hundred voters
in any district of the Federal Govern
ment will assume all the functions Of
the State, and take absolute control of
the polls under some regulations which
apply to State control.

School Exhibition.

In response to an invitation by the
teacher, Mrs. NJ. E. Harmon, l had the
pleasure of attending the closing exer-
cises of Monticello school on Saturday.
the 18th.
Notwithstanding a cold, piercing
north wind, a good number were pres
ent to see how we'll the children would
acuuit themselves. They were not dis
appointed.
Dialogues, speeches, recitations, songs,
&C., were the order of the day.
The selections were good, and for
fully two hours an attentive audience
was we'll entertained.
The programme for the morning hav-
ing been finished, dinner, abundant
in quantity and excellent in quality,
was enjoyed by all present.
After an hours intermission the eX-
ercises were again resumed.
Mr.. C. L. Blease opened the eve
ning's programme with g. speech on
the common school system. He pointed
out some things which he considered
defects and suggested remedies there
for.
After Mr.. Blease had finished, Rev.
J. B. Traywick made a few remarks
complimentary of what had been said
and done during the day.
The exercises of the occasion closed
with a song in which the entire school
took part.
Monticello school, during the past
year, has enrolled about So pupils,
which is greatly to the credit Of the
teacher.

about the music furnished by five mu-
sicians. 1t is enough to say that it
would have been difficult to have had
better. A.

RuILDING ON PAPER.

We take the follwing from an eN-
change. It expresses much truth. We
have built several great big enter
prises in Newberry and some smaller
ones too on paper, but as yet they have
not been worth much in our material
development:
"What Injuries a town more than any
thing else, is to build and operate great
ENTERPRISES on substance as perish
able as paper. You can't construct q
large building on paper. Architecture
has not advanced that far yet-that Is
to say in this part of the country. You
must be patient and labor until you
can construct a building out Of brlck:
or some material equally as durable.
But we suppose good way is first to
build these enterprises on paper. We
hope that it does no harm, but it Is
getting time now that we should build
something out Of brick and mortar.
There is plenty of money in New
berry that is idle that if put 70 use
could set going several enterprises
that would help build up our town and
county. Let those who have it think
of this.

he filled a high position at the Bar; an
ardent patriot, he served his country
faithfully when bis country needed
most the services of her sons; gracious
in manners and ever regardtul OF the
interests Of Others, he could have
achieved political prominence had his
desires led him in that dire c;ion; cour-
teous III bearing and versatile in
thought and conversation, he was the

moved. His death will be depiored by
those who knew him for what he was,
and therefore honored and respected

4 Tramp" Nuisance.

To the Editor of The Herald and
News:-For several days past worth
less character has been "tramping'
through townships eleven and two,
giving his name as Goodman, claiming
to be a wounded Confederate soldier
from North Carolina. That he has been
manned is apparent. as one of his hands
is said to be badly disfgured, but the
balance of his afflictions are exceeding
" doubtful. He works the excrucla-
ting misery dodge well, and is said, by
those who have seen him, to resemble
very much, an object of compassion,
but here ends the pathetic, for when
refused any of his demands, he lndulges
in abusive and insulting language, 4
sample of which any one can obtain
free ky suggesting the Poor House to
him. He stopped at the gate Of the
writer, in his absence, and demanded
shelter and food, upon being made ac-
auainted with the above mentioned
facts, and offered food, he became very
abusive and threatened to enter by
force and take possession. The lady OF
the house, after exhausting every other
kind Of persuation, was compelled to
offer the plea of double barrelled shot
gun, which proved eminently satisfac-
tory, causing him to ''do up distance'
with something like unseemingly
haste. 1t would be we'll that some one
finding him would notify the proper
authorities, and have him properly
taken care of.
Let as take this tramp dilemma
firmly by the horns at once, and let
them know that Newberry is not the
land of loafers.

Solicitor Schumpert.

Solicitor Schumpert returned home
Wednesday, after nine days OF hard
work, performed to the satisfaction OF
the people of this County. Hei is one
of the ablest Solicitors in the State and
discharges the important duties OF his
office with fearlessness, always holding
the scales of justice with steady even
hand, doing his duty to the State and
ever ready to accord to the accused a
fair and impartial trial.-Cnion Times.
THE MooRMAN TRIAL.
We doubt much if there ever was a
case better managed or more ably
argued, on both sides, in this County
than that of the State against Robert
Norman, for the killing Of Schultz. 1t
was peculiarly trying to The Solicitor,
as he and Norman were schoolmates
and warm personal friends; but he did
his duty to the State, himself and the
cause of Justice, firmly and consclen-
tiously.
The arguments before the Jury by
Solicitor Schumpert and }. l.. Orr, for
the State, D. A. Townsend, George
Johnstone andI 1. G. McKissick, for the
defence, we are told, were as profound
and ELOQUENT as any ever heard by an
intelligent jury ofthis County. And 1t
should not be forgotten that 1t was
purely q "labor of love-" on the part OF
the attorneys for the defence, as Moor
man is poor man, and in very feeble
health, with a young wife and three
children, and no prospect Of ever being
able to pay them.-Union Times.

A BIT OF LOCAL HISTORY.
How Squire McBee Doomed the c. & G.
Railroad in 1850.
From the Greenyille News. |

From the Greenville News.
The article from the Abbeville Press
and Banner regarding the rescue OF the
Columbia d Greenvllle railroad at
critical period of its history, copied in
the Greenville News of yesterday, was
incorrect in some important respects.
The hero of the story was Nardry
McBee, then universally known as
"Souiren McBee and the father Of the
present "Squiren Alexander McBee
who is as widely known and popular as
was his father before him. 1twas about
1850. \ meeting was held here in Green
Vile to consider the prospects of the
railroad, which was then apparently
on its last legs because the money 10
build it was not in sight. The gather
ing was on Main Street about where
the National Bank now stands. Judge
O'Neall, Judge Reed and other pronil-
nent men had spoken, the situation
had been thoroughly discussed and
there appeared to be no hope anywhere
and no suggestion of how to get out or
the pending trouble.
Squire McBee was the largest stock
holder of the road, having taken ten
thousand dollars. He mounted the
stand and announced that he would
increase his subscription to fifty thous-
and dollars and take seventy-hve
thousand dollars Of the bonds OF the
road.
This was an unheard of operation in
railroads for one individual in this sec
ton at that time and it took the breath
of the assemblage for a moment; then
there was rush and q hurrah, every
body became infected with the Squlre's
spirit of liberality and from that time
the road was an assured fact.
Squire McBee's son AleXander-the
"Squiren McBee of today-had the
honor of carrying the chain for the
Columbia & Greenville road survey
across the Saluda, swimming the stream
TO do it. HIS brother, w. Pinckney
McBee, the father of Capt. W. '. Nc
Bee, the present president Of the road,
was one of the chief surveyors on the
line and contracted the disease that
ultimately caused his death while en-
gagged in that work.
Vardry McBee's generosity and fore
sight rescued the road from death; the
energy of his sons did much to hasten
its completion; we unite with the Press
and Banner in the hope that the brains
and skill of his grandson will revive 1t
and make it as much blessing to the
up country as the heart of the first
squire could have desired. .,
The connection of the family with
tho rood ic 81 c,1riol1S one [ + is strange
coincidence that the grandson Of the
man who did lncco to build 1t should
come back to be its president after hav-
ing begun his career as brakeman on
another line and worked his way 10
eminence as a railroad man away from
his native State.
