No Change in the Poll Tax.

, An impression seems to prevail mong
some people that the poll tax hereafter will
be three dollars instead Of one dollar as
now. This impression was created by q
suggestion made by Governor Tillman while
discussing the free school system in his in
augural address He said that the respec-
tive counties should be divided into school
districts as nearly square as possible, with
one white and one colored school in each
district, so that all the public school funds
could be concentrated to run these TWO
schools, and that the trustees be elected by
the residents of tie districts, only free hold
ers TO be eligible TO that Office; also that the
Doll tax should be three dollars instead OF
one as now. But, said he, this will require
a constitutional amendment.
It will therefore be seen that all this talk
about the present administration making
poor people pay a larger poll tax is all clap
trap, being talked by those who are antago-
nistic to every step taken by the present Of
icers in power.
There is only one way for the poll tax to
be increased, and that is by q vote of the
people themselves. If the people think
that Governor Tillrnan's suggestion is a good
one and will be benefit to the free school
system, they will vote to amend the constl-
tuition making the poll tax three dollars IN
stead Of one dollar; if they do not agree
with him they viii vote against II, and 1t
will remain as it is. Neither Governor Till
man nor the legislature can raise the poll
ta1. That is left entirely in the hands OF
the people, and when the opportunity offers
they will say by their votes whether they
prefer the constitution changed Or not.

Simon Pearson is Dead.

Simon Pearson, well known in this city,
ana throughout the county, died at his
home here on last Sunday evening about 10
O'Clock. On the Sunday previous he was
walking over tie frame Of q small building
he was erecting in bis yard when one o: the
ioists on which he was standing TUNED and
he fell heavily against it. The blow caused
internal injuries and he fingered until the
following Sunday when death came 70 re-
lieve hin. from his suhtrings which were
intense.
Simon was born nvec Providence, in tbs
county, sometime about the year 1870 He
moved to Sumter about 1870 and has live
here ever since He used to belong tc Mr..
Jos. Bell q former resident Of this towh.
Simon Pearson was in some respects
remarkable negro. He exceiled in two :rts-
painting and music At an early age he
evinced passion for playing on the violin.
Later in life he organized q string bard, in
which he was the leader, playing thf first
violin in this capacity. Simon was known
throughout the adjoining counties ind we
believe beyond the Stale lines. In dance
music he had no superior. We have heard
many good judges, who have da2ced to
Reeves 5 band aud other fine musie at the
State balls, and elsewhere, say tha. they
preferred to dance by Simons band. ...-.SM0-

The Pistol License.

One Of the recent acts of the Legislature
forbids persons dealing in pistols and cart
ridges without paying a license for same.
The acts have not been published as yet.
hence We do not know what the license is or
who is authorized to issue same The Oh
ject of the law IS evidently to stop the pro-
miscuous selling of these dangerous weap-
ems, and in manner to prevent them from
getting into the hands of irresponsible per-
sons. If the law is strictly enforced pistols
will not oe easily purchased, and there will
be a less number of shooting scrapes
throughout the country.
Heretofore every store keeper sold pistols
and cartridges to any and every person that
desired to purchase, and consequently a
certain class did not consider themselves
properly dressed without pistol in one
pocket and a box of cartridges in another.
The lew if properly enforced will do good,
and the people should see to it that 1t IS
enforced.
Since the above was in type we see thai
the State license for selling pistols and cart
ridges is $500 year, and the law goes into
effect June 23, 1891 The penalty for vio
lat,ng this law is fine not exceeding $780,
or imprisonment one year, or both.

II IS said that new paper will be started
in Columbia some time soon, with A. s..
Williams, OF the Greenville Meas, and \. G.
Gonzales, formerly OF the Aetcs and Courier,
as its editors. The paper is to be strictly
an anti-administration sheet, and Of course
will be opposed to any and everything done
by the present regime whether good, bad,
or Indifferent.
The city council of Columbia has mott
fed the Columbia club that it will be re-
qaired to take out liquor license or give
up the sale of liquors. The Columbia club
is private social organization, where its
members and their friends meet for alleged
social pleasures, and heretofore wines and
other social draughts were disposed Of, much
to the injury Of liquor dealers that were
paying the city license.
Capt. ". J. Talbert on assuming charge
of the State penitertiary was informed by
Col. .Eipseenb, the former superintendaise
that the booR-keeper was short on the books
about 81, 800, but that it had been made
good. Superintendent Talbert therefore
Informed the Attorney General of the mat
ter, who advised him to have the books
locked up until the meeting of the board Of
directors, so that they could be overhauled,
and to begin his accounts of the Institution
with new books.

ed Dr. Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton; she bought bottle and to her delight
found herself benefited from first dose.
She continued its use and after taking ten

Deyilment in Columbia.

The Rev. Mr.. Tolson, of Columbia, has
stirred the city of Columbia from center to
circumference. He preached a sermon last
Sunday night, in which he made serious
charges against the Columbia Club, the
Young Mems Christian Association, and the
city government The sermon has created
considerable comment among all classes,
and an investigating committee was appoint
ed to look into the charges made. Rev.
Tolson asserts that the city government, the
Columbia Club, and the Y M. c. 4. are in
league with Satan.
Mayor M'Master is on the war path, and
denounces the attack made on these insti-
tutions, especially the Columbia Club. He
says: stHis attack on the club is in line with
the abusive, ignorant, and malicious impu-
tations against clever set of gentlemen,
citizens of Columbia, who have united them
selves for social purposes and whose inf1u-
ence has not been, in the main, Geleteriogs
to themselves or Injurious to the CITY Of Co.
lumbia. It has afforded on many occasions
innocent entertainment to distinguished
visitors to Columbia For the last two or
three years it has been the custom of some
OF the people of the State to abuse this club
and to attribute to itan evil influence, which
is unjust and outrageous. Every civilized
city has similar institutions, and their pur-
poses are intended for innocent enjoyment
and relaxation and fellowship. In the main
they are good. While probably some few
may get the love Of liquor from attendance
at the club, not as many suffer from it as
would suffer if the cluo'was lot in exist
ence, for the barrooms would be the sole
source of supply"
Rev DR. j. L. Girardeau saws: 81 admire
the RsY Mr.. Tolson's faithfulness and cour-
age in bearing public testimony against
what he regards as sinful and injurious
practices existing in this city. But as l am
in great measure ignorant concerning the
particular facts which he alleges, and an in
Yestigation of his charges is to be made,
must for the present decline to utter any
definite judgment in the premises"
