$4,000 TO be Paid the Public Schools.

Columbia, s. c., March 1.-THE State
Board of Directors to-day directed the
payment of $25, 900 into the treasury for
public schools. Under the recent act the
board will have to reduce its stock to
$400,O and pay into the State the diff
ference between the stock on hand and
$400, 900 stock to be allowed for business.
This difference of $211, 600 is to be paid
in within two years and to be used for
schools, and hereafter the State Board is
to pay over for public schools all the net
profits and 1t Is not to go into new stock
or appear on the books. The Board re-
ported as its net profits last year over
$120, 900 and that much ought to be made
in 1902 besides paying over the cash re-
allied on the surplus stock of over $780,
900 which the Legislature says is suffi-
cient for the business of the dispensary.

WORK OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Some Of tho Important Measures Considered
al The Recent Session.

Editors Keowee Courier: We continue
our article in reference to the legislation
of the last session of the General Assem-
bly,.
During the session of last year the
House voted in favor of repeating the
"free pass" law. Governor McSweeney
held up the bill until the first day of the
recent session, when he returned 1t to
the House, where it originated, with q
1901 by considerable majority. The
pending question was, "Shall the bill
pass, the veto of the Governor to the
contrary Notwithstanding" The veto of
the Governor was sustained by large
majority, aud the bill failed thereby to
become law. The sober second thought
OF the House prevailed.
A committee of one from each county
was appointed in 1901 to consider the
the State, or rather, free trade In flsh.
Your correspondent represented Oconee
on this occasion. A number of our older
citizens can remember the time when the
toothsome shaa and other fine Ash were
plentiful In our streams from the sea to
the mountains. But that day has passed,
probably never to return. In addition to
these the low-lander has oysters, ,shrimps,
terrapins and turtles. Then he counts
his game with the duck, turkey, deer,
bear, etc., to say nothing of the festive
'possum. 1t was our duty to learn the
true inwardness of the situation. This
was soon accomplished. The Savannah
river contains number of dams, and, In
addition, ell the streams, from Georgia
to North Carolina, are full of nets, SO
arranged that the free run of fish is prsc-
tically prevented. Under these circum-
stances no relief was in sight, and no bill
was reported. AT the recent session the
question was agitated again. This time
the trouble was principally with our low
country friends, who, having everything

" arasosAslE AND PROPER

In another column will be found a
communication on the public printing by
Senator E. l.. Herndon, which we take
pleasure in pnblishing. The issue has
thus been narrowed to question of
what is reasonable and proper COM
pensations for the printer In publishing
advertisements, ar woll as the fees OF
attorneys FOX services In case In which
the property may be sold at public sale.
Senator Herndon contends that his fees
in the cases cited as illustrations were
Reasonable and proper This In one
Gaze may be admitted. We contend that
the legal rates of advertising are also s'rea-
sonable and proper" yea, much moro so
than the fees allowed attorneys for SER
vices in such cases. The point we made
In our issue of 28th ultimo is still press
ing and eminently pertinent; there Is
much moro reason for restrictive legisla-
tion against the charges Of lawyers in
such cases than against printers. We
happen to be both lawyers and editors,
and under the showing made by Senator
Herndon our Testimony" ought to be
"conclusive." h
The references on fees in the cases cited
were held before the decrees of sale were
taken, and over two months before the
sales OF the property were made by the
Master Hence the "opinion testimony
of attorneys as to the reasonableness of
proposed fees was given on an estimate
of the value of the premises furnished
by the counsel in the cases some time
before the sales. If these estimates
turned out to be too high, and the lands
did not sell for as much as plaintiffs at
torney thought they would, he could
have voluntarily reduced his fees in pro-
portion to the deficits. Certainly the at
torneys who testified as to the reasonable
ness of proposed fees had necessarily to
rely upon the statements of counsel in
the cases as to the value of the lands.
In the case of King VS.. Johns we still
think the fees of the attorneys were
reasonable, but in the Cox case we do
not think so, and certainly If we had
then known the land involved in that
case was worth only $500, we never
would have thought of saying in our
"opinion" that the fees of the lawyers
should be $4,000. We do not think any
one would say so.
If Senator Herndon was practical
printer as he is practical lawyer, he
would readily recognize that the charges
fixed by lawtfor advertising are treason.
able and proper" But as the matter is
now simply question of difference OF
opinion, and Senator Herndon's bill was
summarily killed in the Senate, there ia
no use in beating the air, and we refrain
from further comment.
We readily conCede to Senator Herndon
the utmost good faith in his contention,
and we claim the same for ourselves.
We disolaim the making of any personal
attack on Senator Herndon, and acquit
him of making any on us.
