State Bonds.

The State Of Georgia has just re.
funded s1,000,000 of her $4,000, 900
debt. New bonds were issued for
the 81 100000, aud every dollar of
them was taken at 81 per cent. The
old bonds bore interest at 7 per cent.
In 1892 South Carolina will have
about $G,000,000 of State debt com
ing due, for which new bonds will
have to be issued. The Act of the
last General Assembly authorized
refunding this debt ut 44 per cent.
1t will be refunded at less than that,
If possible; or it may have to he re-
funded at more. The bonds will be
offered in open market, as was the
case i'll Georgia. These $4,000, 900
now bear interest at per cent, and
of course whatever reduction is
made in the interest will be that
much reduction in the debt and, con-
sequcntly, in the taxes to be paid to
meet the annual interest.
In 1887 100000 of the State
debt, then bearing 6 per cent, was
refunded at 4! per cent, Geo. w.
Williams, of Charleston, taking the
entire amount. If we remember
correctly, there was not Il bid from
outside the State.
The State bonds oil South Caro-
lima are now quoted at only SIO2,
although the July interest is nearly
due; while Georgia State bonds arc
quoted at S114.
There is this difference between
Georgia and South Carolina, which
makes capitalists prefer Georgia Sc

And it came to pass when Grover
departed from the White House that
Benjamin reigncd in his stead.
And Benjamin spake to all the
people in his message and said, be-
hold your taxes shall be kept very
high 50 that you shall be prosperous
and happy,
And the Lord blessed the farmers
with bountiful crops, vet they pros
pcrcd not.
For their Substance was dcvourcd

who loaned money ut usury, and by
sucl' rs collected tolls on the iron
highways.
Then there arose a great murmur-
ing among the people. And they
said, how long ahal. W suffer these
things? Have we not been robbed,
10, these many years? Can man
raise ~ cent corn and pay 3 per cent
a month?
And the tillcrs of the soil said one
to another, go to let us bind our
selves ina great alliance. And it was
SO.
And many scoffcd and said, it would
como to naught. Can the farmers

Charlcst0n's Hopes.

CHARLESTON, S. c., May I.-.-Edi-
tor Evan =. Howell, OF the Cousti-
t"tion, in Ills speech ut the Travellers
Protective Association banquet ON
Thursday night, struck the Keynote
of the railroad problem, with which
Charleston is now wrestling, when
he said that Atlanta and Charleston
should be closer together.
In IN interview he says:
"All Charleston needs to make it
one of the greatest aud most pros
porous cities in the entire South, is
to have some connection with one Of
the great systems that leads to the
immense western country, OF which
Charleston is the true outlet
Charleston certainly has. one OF the
best harbors on the entire South
Atlantic coast, and to. it's diSaiyan-
tagc no regular lines are running in
here, or no roads which run into the
interior of your State to connect it
with the great West. Savannah has
been built up by the Central rail
road, which has, 10y its terminal svs-
tenn, connected it with the North and
West.
Brunswick, when it had shor, con-
nrctions from Macon to Brunswick,
was small and comparatively m-
known place, but since the East Ten
ncSsrc system has been built and
connects Brunswick with the North
and West her growth has been re-
maskablc, and before the year is ou,
they will have through trains be-
tween Brunswick and Chicago.
WHAT CHARLESTON NEEDS.
rms is exactly what Charleston
wants. Let her follow Brunswick's
example, and when your people make
up their minds to have through
and direct Western connection.
Charleston will not only double in
population and business, but will
achieve even greater results than
this. think there is hope for
Charleston to do this without auy
great outlay of money. The Louis
vile and Nashville owns half Of the
lease Of the Georgia railroad from
Atlanta to Augusta, and by looking
at the maps Of Georgia and South
Carolina it will be seen that u rail |
road from about Warrcnton on the
Georgia road, directly to Charleston
in an air line, the distance from
Charleston to Wamcnton will be
very little more than il is from
Charleston to Augusta. This road
can easily be built. This line
Will give the Louisville and Nash
vile system an outlet at Charleston
that will be just what is necessary
to develop this magnificent country. |
JUST WHAT YOU WANT.
1t is what you want. The Louis.
vile and Nashville system is one Of
the most prosperous systems in the
South. They now have over four
thousand miles of road in the South,
touching the richest fields of coal
and iron in Tennessee, Georgia, Ala.

Agricultural Colleges.

The Senate committee on cduca-
ton and labor has received a com
mittcc of the Association Of Amcri.
can Agricultural Colleges and Ex-
pcrimcntal Stations, who presented
q memorial Of their needs. The
Committee consisted Of Henry T..
Alvord, President Of Maryland Col
lcgc; James II. Smart, lndana; Nor
rill f. Gates, New Jersey; james w.
Patterson, kentucky; and Henry H..
Goodcll Of Massachusetts.
The memorial says that agricutu-
raj colleges, established under the
United States law Of 1862, are now
educating nearly ten thousand stu
dents. AS Il rule, all who finish a
course OF study at these institutions
arc at once iii demand for rcin,ncrl-
tive positions, many OF them as
teachers Of natural science in other
institutions, where the good effects OF
these colleges are multiplied. The
farmers manifest growing interest
i'll the work OF the colleges.
The memorial says that the special
and immediate needs Of these col
lcgcS tor more generous support arise
from these two facts: The cost of a
proper equipment for scientific work,
and the great increase i'm the number
of students. These colleges have
now reached a point in their develop
mcnt where their future growth and
usefulness are conditioned upon their
securing increased facilities for do
ing larger work. The memorial
asks, therefore, that at least 5000
q year be provided now for each
State, to be increased until a limit of
not less than $25, 600 is reached.
