"A Plain Remedy for A Plain
Wrong.

Apropos of the general complaint
about the unconscionable delay in
the distribution of the Acts of the
Legislature, a citizen suggests as a
remedy the law which exists in Min
nesota.
In that State The Legislature APP
propriates certain sum every
year to be paid the newspapers of
the State for printing and distribu-
ting The laws. That is to say, all
publishers of county newspapers
which will make affidavit that thew
have mailed to their subscribers the
printed law of any session of the
Legislature shall be paid out of the
State treasury sum equal to (say)
ten cents per copy for every Copy so
mailed.
This amount in the large majority
of cases would be small. OF course
every newspaper could not print the
matter for this sum, much less print
and distribute; but some enterpris-
ing paper prints and sells to the bal
ance, under the head of each other
paper subscribing, the whole matter
in newspaper form, and can thus af
ford to sell it very cheap, so that
each paper makes something out of
it.
This is most worthy scheme and
would not only contribute much to
the enlightenment of the masses of
the people on the laws, but it is, in
fact, due the people that they have
some such cheap and general means
as this to acquaint themselves
with the laws of the State.
An annual appropriation of
few Thousand dollars would be
sufficient to accomplish this, and
we do not know how that amount
of money could be invested to better
to the whole people.

1t is current rumor and very gen
orally believed that the Legislature
which assembled in this State last
Winter passed sundry acts which
were intended to operate as laws for
the government and regulation of the
affairs of this Commonwealth.
1t is matter of history at any rate
that there was Legislature sitting
at Charleston some two or three
months, and great ado was made
about passing some laws. and the
public was led to believe that some
laws were actually passed.
But up to the present writing. al
though about six months have elapsed
since the demise of said alleged Leg
islature, no laws, or acts, or anything
resembling laws or acts, or other
thing of such nature or kind what
soever, in any shape or form or in
anywise Stimulating or suggesting
acts or laws, or that anybody believ-
ed to be intended for, or any Court
or Justice of the Peace would recog-
nize as acts or laws, all expectations,
surmises, anticipations, speculations,
conclusions, or decisions to the con-
trary in anywise, nevertheless, as
aforesaid notwithstanding, have not
come to the knowledge of any sane
citizen of the State, now living and
willing to testify under oath to hav-
ing seen or handled any such thing.
Moreover it is currently rumored
that if there were any laws passed
by the said Legislature they were in
many cases made to take effect from
their passage. If this rumor is true
we are doubtless living under laws
that neither the legal profession nor
the everyday citizen knows anything
about or can find out anything about,
and business men may have already
incurred penalties for their violation
which will render them bankrupt
when brought to account
We believe it is one of the maxims
of the law that ignorance of the law
excuses no man." Nevertheless we
are living under State government
where it takes six months or more to
acquaint the people with what. has
been made law from the moment of
its passage.
All we have to say about this
state of things is that it is an mex
cusable dereliction and that some
body ought to be made to account
for it.

Omen.


The University opens a new year
to day.
The presence of the ubiquitous
student in search of lodgings is the
indubitable evidence of this event, if
there were no other.
How many students will honor the
opening to-day is not determined.
There seems tn be general conf
dence that the number will be, at
least, up to the average. As there
are so many new departments being
opened, each one ought, and will tend
to swell the number.
The female side of the house will
be small but certainly respectable.
We hazard the prediction that it
will also be attractive. Nevertheless,
under the conditions laid down for
the ladies very few will ever be able
to break through the barriers. Some
day the Regents will see the injus-
tice of this discrimination and throw
down the bars.
We wish for the University a very
prosperous year, and we cordially
tender to the students individually
and collectively a welcome to citizen
ship in our town for the current
year; and we are very sure that they
will recognize that it is one of the
most beautiful towns in the land
the most healthful, hospitable, and
the best adapted to their purpose of
any town they have ever seen. Be-
sides we are assured that our State
University offers equal facilities to
that of any other State for obtain
ing first class education.
We do not know therefore. why
the students should not be happy
and they will be.

Virgil A. Lewis, secretary of the

book entitled "Life and Times of
Anne Bailey" This work is an in

A Colored man named Boyd Hen
derson has made himself very liable
to lynching seance. Last Monday
night at Bunker's Hill in Berkeley
county he concealed himself under
the bed of Miss Rachel Bell. He
was discovered soon after the young
lady retired. Her screams scared
the brutelaway, but he was captured
later in the night and jailed. The
citizens Of that community are
righteously indignant and we don't
know what is liable to happen.
A few days ago Deputy Marshal
Cunningham and posse, who were
in search of Joe Richardson, near Ce-
darville, Gilmer county, and who is
charged with forgery, came across
their man riding along the highway.
Richardson retreated across the hill
and the officers pursued him and
got so close to him that he was
forced to abandon his horse and
take to the woods. The officers got
the horse but the fugitive got out of
sight, and the officers again started
in pursuit, and after chase of about
five miles Richardson took off his
coat and ran quite a distance, when
he lost his hat. Finally he pulled
his boots off and left them Having
left horse, coat, hat and boots the
officers concluded that it was use
less TO further pursue him, and they
gave up the chase.
The Philippi Piaiadealer says:
For some time there has been a bad
feeling away down deep between
these two parties on the account of
undue intimacy of Parsons and Nor

two met on the railroad, near Mr..
Elias Kelly's, and passed a few
aords, whereupon Norris fired three
shots at Parsons, the third entering
his back, to the right of his spine,
and passing through him, lodging
just beneath the skin in front. He
was carried to house near by, by
some men who were coming to town
to attend lodge, who gave notice of
the shooting to Prosecuting Attor-
ney Teter, who at once repaired to
the scene of carnage, accompanied
