An English Hotel Board Bill,

In Justice of the Peace Lockmans court
yesterday a default was taken in the suit
of j. S. Hall, former proprietor of the En-
glish Hotel, against George Ketcham,
lessee of the English Opera House. The
suit grew out of a board bill contracted by
Thomas Moore scenic artist employed by
Ketcham. Moore lived at the English Hotel
during his stay here, and when he left gave
Landlord Hall an order on Ketcham for $54
Hall brought suit to collect the money, a
constable securing service on Ketcham
through Joseph Gavin, local manager of the
theater. When the case came up yesterday
no one appeared for the defendant and
judgment was rendered by default.

AGAINST THE BROKERS
LOCAL LINES ASK PROTECTION
AGAINST TICKET sCALPING.
Complimentary to the Present Pam
Personal Railway News.

The general passenger agents of the roads
in the Central Traffic Association, which
includes all roads except the Lake Erie &
Western, which, however, works in unison
with the association lines on the scalping
question, have joined in a letter to the
municipal authorities of Indianapolis urg-
ing legislation to prevent the scalping of
tickets during the coming meetings of the
Knights of Pythias and national meet of
the League of American Wheelmen.
THE members of the Central Passenger
Association beg to respectfully present to
you the expediency and mutual advantages
of suspending the operations of railway
ticket scalpers during the Supreme Lodge
convention and the Uniform Rank encamp
ment Knights Of Pythias and national meet
of the League of American Wheelmen in
your city in August next.
AS you are perhaps aware, regularly es-
tablished brokers' abetted by others of the
guild who will temporarily engage in the
business will embrace this opportunity of
utilizing the low excursion fares, to the loss
of the carriers and the discomfort and in
convenience of the travel incident to this
occasion. To lessen as far as possible and
practicable such hindrances and undue der
pletions of the legitimate earnings of the
railways tickets are necessarily so re-
stricted and surrounded with such precau-
tionary conditions as to Inconvenience the
travel attracted and expensive joint
agencies are maintained by the railways
for the purpose of forestalling or limiting
the transactions of these self-appointed
ticket agents. Such restrictive measures,
however, while unavoidably incommoding
the attendance on the meetings, only
partially abridge the ticket scalpers irregu-
lar and ofttiTnes swindling transactions. In
this situation the Central Passenger Asso-
citation, the Trunk Line Association and the
Joint Traffic Association believe they may
consistently appeal from time to time to
the municipal authorities of the cities Sc
lected for such gatherings TO inaugurate
such measures"

Imprisonment in the State prison or Re

believes the prisoner deserves only a Jail
sentence, it may infiict this punishment al

Scared the Boodlers.

The great city Of Chicago has been
having mad fight. Under the imam
Gus Allen law the street car lines are
seeking a fifty years extension of their
franchises and attempting to pass the
ordinances by the usual Doodle process.
The mayor has been making most gal
liant fight against the Doodle combine
and the whole city has been stirred up.
They have talked freely Of hanging the
aldermen in case they sell out. This is
a good way to stop man from selling.
After he has been hung he won't sell
any more. TIE city has happily hit
on the solution which must finally come.
At a great mass meeting municipal
ownership was proposed. The city
should own her improvements. The
lighting heating, water supply, tele-
phone and transit business should be
owned by the city. And the people
should enjoy all these modern convent
ences as cheaply as possible. Munich
pal ownership must come. And until
it does come, don't let up on hanging
boodlers.

GOING TO MISSISSIPPI.
Many Negroes Emigrating from
Greenwood County.

A dispatch from Greenwood to the
Columbia State says the Negroes Of
that county show decided disposition
to emigrate. Several hundred are like
ly to leave within few weeks. The
exodus commenced week ago, when
two cars filled with Negro families left
for lower Mississippi. Another car left
Sunday night. The 100 Negroes that
hav. gone went from the Saluda section
and several farms there are practically
tenantless. More are going from the
same place One A. ". Williams is the
agent who is taking off so many of the
colored population. He has taken a
contract to place several hundred Negro
families with the planters in Southern
Mississippi. For several reasons ne Sc.
lected Greenwood county as good field
for his business. There is no denying
the fact that the Negroes in the popu-
lous sections of Greenwood county are
badly demoralized. They are in some
places still panic-stricken on account
of the Phoenix trouble. They have not
been molested but have the unreasoning
fear of their real friends so common to
ignorance. The Negroes of Saluda,
Ninety-Six and Phoenix will hardly
make contracts for another year. The
financial depression has borne heavily
on the Negroes, making them more dis
heartened. Tne merchants have en-.
forced collections to the destitution OF
many families. Under the clrcum-
stances this exodus is expected to thin
out the over-abundant Negro population
of this county considerably. 1t IS the
colored renters who are getting OF. AS
consequence some of the best land IN
Il e country will be occupied by white
renters hereafter.

We see It stated that the Georgia
Legislature. in order to meet expenses,
has resolved to econoul;ze in the matter
Of appropriations rather than to raise
the rate of taxation. Such action Is
conmendable. 1t shows wisdom, and
that the legislators Of Georgia have
some consideration for the condition of
the taxpayers who are doing their best
to pay taxes and make both endsm
with cotton, their money crop, at 4!
cents per pound. The Newberry Voice
of the People very properly asks will
South Carolina legislators be equally as
considerate Of the taxpayers OF this
State? We shall soon know, for the

J. Bryan shows no sign Of waning, :"
said Hon. William D. Williams, of
Knoxville, state railroad commissioner
elect, recently to a Columbia Record
reporter.
Il saw 10000 people assembled in
the streets of my town to welcome Mr..
Bryan in 1896, and he would draw just
as large gathering there today. He is
the greatest leader Of the people since
Andrew Jackson. In any assemblage
Of Democrats in my country the men
ton of his name evokes as wild ap-
plause now as it did when he was a
presidential nominee. That he will be
nominated in 1900 | think a foregone
conclusion.

assured. true Of every other Southern
state In every state of the South he
retains the undiminished regard of the

TAXES CAN BE. REDUCED.
a Reform Demanded in State Govern
mental Expenditure.

During every campaign for years past
the masses have made earnest pleas for
reform, the reduction of taxes, and to
this end a corresponding decrease of ex-
penditures. In response to these de-
mands for reform many changes have
been made in the laws, some for the
better, some for the worse, but nothing
has brought relief to the purse OF the
laboring classes. On the contrary, as
times became harder more taxes have
been exacted, until our people have be-
come restiye under the pressure. Their
demands appear to have been evaded.
While the purchasing power Of the dol
lar has more than doubled, there has
been no reduction of the number ex-
acted.
1t has been said nothing can be done
to cheaper the government. This in
duces us to examine more closely the
expenditures to find, if haply we may,
how the desired end can be accom-
plished. There is no valid reason why
all good citizens in repulic should not
inform themselves as to public matters
and express their judgment as to what
is right and proper. They should be
taken into the confidence Of the pow
ers that be, This is their right and
they should be content with nothing
less. The people are not unreasonable
nor rash in their demands, when they
understand the circumstances and the
conditions. They do not and will not
complain at tax which is shown to be
necessary to an efficient administration
Of the State and county governments.
It seems to US that some changes
could be made, the tendency of which
would be to reduce expenses without
injury to an efficient administration
In the first place the election laws Of
South Carolina are cumbersome and
twice as expensive as necessary. There
are three supervisors Of registration,
when one could do the work for the
same salary he now gets. There are
two sets Of commissioners Of election in
each county and two sets Of managers
at each precient. One set of commits
sioners and manages could do the
work as efficiently. All this machiu-
cry is expensive and so much is no,
needed. This complicated machinery
has served its purpose in the past, but
it is no longer necessary.-Keowee Cour-
lar
