The Amount OF Money in Circulation.

To the Editor of The Herald and News:
For the sake of those who would like to
have the official facts as to our money in
circulation, instead of mere visionary
fiction, I give herewith the exact figures
as taken from the official monthly state
ment of the Treasury Department to De-
cember 1st instant.
1t shows the general stock carried or
issued to be S2,176.364,569. Or this
amount there was in the Treasury $780,
l02,499, and in actual circulation 81, ST.
262070, that being a per capita circulation
of s24,3S, estimating our population at
64,6SO,O00. On the same date-Decem-
cember 1st, 1S90-our circulation was
S1,504, ,736605. Thus We see there was an
actual increase of circulation during the
twelve months of ST, ,525,46 During the
month of November alone-that is from
November l, 1891 to December l, 1891,
the net increase was s12,769, ,909-and
yet in spite of this showing We will no
doubt continue to hear the same old
stories OF the government and banks con-
spring to diminish the currency and op-
press the farmers. CIvIS.

While on this subject I might state
that an appropriation of S65,C0O is
asked for the Clemson Agricultural
College, in addition to the special funds
set apart for this institution. The ap-
preparation will no doubt be granted.
It will be remembered that we have
been told on several occasions that this
institution would not cost the State a
cent. a pretty liberal appropriation is
asked this year, and l am not opposed
to it. l want to see a first class college
and want to see it literally supported,
only I felt sure that if that was done
the taxpayers Of the State would have
TO foot the bills.

Senator jeremiah Smith, Of Horny,
introduced bill to repeal the privilege
tax on fertilizer, but it was summarily
killed, not, however, without Senator
Smith being allowed to give his
reasons for the bill. It will be remem-
bcred that this tax is one of the main
sources Of revenue for Clemson College,
the tax amounting to, gross, about
s53, 900. Senator Smith said be did
not introduce the bill on account fop-
position to the college, because the sup
port II that college was now a part of
the settled policy of the State. But be
was opposed to the tax because it was
class tax and paid by class least able
to pay it and without regard to prop
erty. It came out of the farmer. If 1T
was right to raise a tax in this way
why not extend the principle to every
article Of commerce and relieve the
people Of taxation altogether.

One of the biggest things of the past
week was the bill providing for the
new county of Calhoun out of portions
Of Orangeburg and Lexington. Sena-

speech in favor Of the new county, but
the Senate was against him, and the
bill was killed. There are two other
new county schemes on the tapis, one
to be know mas Tillman County and the
other as Edisto. 1t is not probable that
either will pass at this time.

The biggest thing done so far is the
election of Judges to the Supreme
bench. AS telegraphed you last week
Associate Justice McIver was elected
Chief Justice in place of the late Chief
Justice Simpson. A deal was msde
between his friends and those Of Gen.
Pope and he was elected unanimously.
His place was then to be filled and the
candidates were William Il. Wallace,
Judge Of the Seventh Circuit, and
Young John Pope, Attorney General.
The details ofthe election you can
get from the daily papers. Gen. Pope
was elected. 1t was close run. Strong
pressure was brought to bear by the
administration in favor Of Gen. Pope.
I am free to admit that Judge Wallace
was my first choice for the position.
1t seems to me that it would have been
more IN accordance with the eternal
fitness of things to have promoted
Judge Wallace, and that is the view
many Of the administration members
took of the situation. But then l &m
especially partial to. Judge Wallace.
There is no man in South Carolina
for whom I have,a higher esteem than
Judge Wallace. There has already
been talk of Judge Wallace as can
didate for Governor next year. But
that yet of course is only talk and no
one knows whether or not it would be
agreeable to Judge Wallace. l am for
him for any Office he wants, against
the field, although I am not urging
him for Governor There has been
some very severe criticism Of Gen.
Pope. In this do not concur. 1t is

At the last general election the office
of County Commissioner was abolished
as constitutional office. There is
now bill pending to provide sys-
tenn of county government. Itprovides
for one county supervisor who shall be
elected by the people and gives the
Governor authority to appoint one
road commissioner for each township,
these together with the supervisor
shall constitute the county board Of
road commissioners, who shall have
charge Of the roads bridges, and ferries.
1t also provides for the working of able
bodied male convicts upon the public
roads whose term of service is no longer
than two years. 1t also gives the
Governor the poMerto -anpoist three
commissioners of the poor, for each
county. The salaries of the supervi-
sors are left blank. This is an admin
istration measure. The reader will re-
member that this administration went
into power with the watchword that
the people had been under the rule Of
an oligarchy and also observe that this
bill confers a good deal Of appointing
power upon the Governor.

The biggest thing Of the past week,
however, was the fight in the House
on the prohibition question. A very
rigid prohibition bill has been intro
duced by Representative Childs, Of
Richland. lis main features are pub
lished in this issue of The Herald and
News. II has passed the House and
now the fight will be on in the Senate.
The question is what will the Senate
do? No one seems exactly to know.
1t will probably be close fight. At
one time I did not think the bill would
pass but now | am inclined to the
opinion that 1t will. If it does then
another interesting question presents
itself. What will Governor Tillman
do? The Governors idea of the pro-
hibition matter as contained in his
message is to take the revenue from its
