dE PHOSPHATE ROYALTY
omciai Figures of the Income of the
state-Treasurer Bates Gives tn.
Amount OF Royalty Paid to his
Office for the Past Year.
Especial to News and Courier 7

lSpeCldl 10 news ana Courier.
COLUMBIA, Nov. 7.-Inasmuch q,
several incorrect statements are going
the rounds of the press reportorially,
edltorlally, inferentially and otherwise,
as to the phosphate royalty for the last
hscal year, it is perhaps.an opportune
time that a correct statement be furn.
ished.
In the report of Phosphate Inspector
Jones, which was recently published
in full in The News and Courier, he
put the royalty down at Sl79, 166 36.
That is correct, but in commenting on
1t the newspapers which have spoken
have confounded the fiscal year with
the ordinary fiscal year, beginning
November l. The report of Mr. Jones
takes no account, therefore, of about
three months in which royalty has been
paid into the State treasury.
State Treasurer Bates alone knows
what has been paid into the treasury.
He was asked this morning for the
amount of phosphate royalty paid in
for the just passed fiscal year. He not
only furnished the total, but the item
lied account, which is as follows:

FIRING THE NORTHERN HEART
The "Rebel Flag" Officially Anthema
tized by the G. A, R,

ALBANY, n. Y, Nov. Gen. Pal
mer, commander in chief OF the Grand
Army of the Republic, has just issued
an order prohibiting G. a. r. members
from marching in professions where
the Confederate flag is carried. The
order says:
You have demonstrated your frater-
nifty on numerous occasions, but when
comrades joined in the recent ceremo-
MES in honor of the memory of patri-
otic Southern journalists and philan-
thropist they found their fraternity
confronted with the s'emblem of trea-
son." which is evidence to YOU that
there still turks in the hearts of a few
the desire, by the display of that flag.
to the hearts Of the young genera
ton of the South to rebellion.
A comrade wearing the badge or
uniform Of the order participating in
any demonstration where the rebel
flag" is displayed, violates his obliga-
ton Ito maintain true allegiance to The
United States of America, to honor its
constitution, to discountenance what
ever tends to weaken loyalty, incite
treason or rebellion, and to encourage
universal liberty and justice to all
mankind" and brings disgrace upon
Ehe order OF which he is member.

The Session Before Us,

| The public schools of our county ar
soon to open again. Teachers have ha<
a long vacation. Some Of them hav,
had six months rest, anu these surely
ought to be ready, willing and ever
anxious to begin their work once more
In beginning this session each teacher
ought to feel, and ought to be better
prepared than when she began a year
ago. If she is not, if she has made nc
Improvement, then not only she, but
her pupils as we'll, are to suffer in con-
sequence.
Our teachers should not 20 into the
school room this year in an uncon-
cerned and Indifferent way, but should
be actuated by such enthusiasm as they
never felt before. They should not
think solely of the small salaries they
are to receive, they should not be
prompted by merely personal and sell
tsh motives but they should feel also
that they are to develop and elevate
those committed to theirScare. Ifthere
be nothing higher in the teachers
mind than the pay she is to get, if she
is to feel no real, deep interest in the

Our teachers have a great work before
them. They are to be the trainers of
the future citizens of our country, and
how careful and how much in earnest
then ought they to be- There is a great
resting upon eachers.
And although their reward may not be
so great in dollars and cents, yet they
will have their reward-the praises and
honors of a grateful people.
The teachers of Newberry County
nay we'll be proud of the reputation for |
and devotion to duty that
hey have in other parts of the State.
The Superintendent of Education has
poken we'll of them, praise which we
rope they have justly merited.
Teachers, let US remember the great
work before Us, and when the coming
esslon shall have closed, let US en-

than ever before. X.

From statement given out bv
State Treasurer Bates it is learned that
the income from the phosphate roy.
atty will not be very much less than
1t was last year. The total amount re-
received from this source last year was
$2S7,OC0. This year S1S4, 1000 have been
received; this makes a difference in
favor Of last year of $4,000. The loss
from the stopping of the Coosaw COM
pany is not so great after all. It must
be remembered, however, that Coosaw
was not shut down until the first of
March and that of the total amount re-
celVed Coosaw paid s42,146, and that
the litigation will cost the State con-
siderable sum, and the laws. i

TEACHERS COLUMN.
Letter Writing,

The following letter is from bright
eyed boy of eight years, whom it was
my happy privilege to teach about five
months, and whi,.h "little man" was
my body guard to and from school,:
Dear Aunt Lidie: 1 am so sorry you
are not coming back to teach me, for l
love you more than 1 can any other
teacher. You must come to see US
again. With all my love, I am YOUR
little man. FERD. ANDREWS.u
While this little fellow is far above
the ordinarily bright child in mental
endowments; yet his degree of progress
is fair specimen, of what may be ac
complished in an ungraded country
school, so much of which depends
upon the cooperation of the mother,
and this goes far towards establishing
that beautiful relationship which
should always exist between pupil and
teacher S. + n

NEWBERRY, S. C.
HE1EESDiY, EOFEHBER II, 1891.
THE PIVOTAL STATE

The New York Press, Republican, in
an editorial On the recent elections and
specalating as to the probable results
10 1882, says that New York will be the
pivotal State, and that which ever
party carries it in the general election
IN 1892 will carry the victory. Or
rather, from its stand point, New York
WILL be indispensable to the Democrats
while it will be possible for the Repub-
3icans to win without it.
By the new apportionment, if the
States which voted in the last election
vote for the same party in the next
election, the electoral vote will be as
follows:

On the same basis the Republicans
will have 269 votes and the Democrats


On the same basis the Republican:
will have 269 votes and the Democrats
l75.
But if the Democrats carry Indiana
Iowa and New York, as they probably
Will, the vote will stand 239 for the
5 Democrats and 205 for the Republicans.
II the Democrats also carry Massachu-
sets and Michigan this would give the
Democrats 26s and the Republicans 176.
All these States have recently gone
Democratic, but there may be some
doubt about what they will all do in a
Presidential election.
The Press thinks that Michigan will
not be unit in the choice of its cleo
toral college and says that the Demo-
Gratis can only secure s of its Il elec-
toras votes.
Leaving New York out of the calcu-
latioa and giving the Democrats Indi-
ana, Iowa and s votes in Michigan the
electoral college would stand, Republi-
can, 1877; Democratic, 2ll; necessary to
choice, 22s
The Press concludes its observations
as follows: |
The thirty-six electoral votes of
Ne" York added to the Democratic
column would then elect Democratic
PRESIDENT, with "a votes to spare. Held
~ the Republican column they insure
Republican success with 10 to spare,
even If Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, New
Jersey and Connecticut ali choose |
Democratic electors. If Indiana and |
Iowa are Republican the Democrats
may carry New York, New jersey,
Connecticut, Michigan Is votes) and
all the sure Democratic States and still
lose! 0'''-
:, SIN other words, New York will be
the psvotdt Democratic State, without
which Democratic President cannot
De elected. The great battle of 1892 is
.Akely to be won within ten miles of
the Press Office.
And what Republicans should set
ABOUT doing at once is to find the man
VINO, as Presidential candidate, can
most certainly carry the Empire State:
These figures may einteresting. Off
course at this time it is difficult to even s
conjecture on results. Much depends :
on what the next Congress may do and t
who the candidates are. The Repub-
lcans are somewhat at loss for a
proper candidate to put forward. The q
INDICATIONS now are that Harrison or Y
will be the Republican can
idate with the chances in favor of q
y,
Cleveland will very probably be the al
residential candidate of the Demo- ii
rats and with good strong man from o.
he West he will win. "
