Come to the Rescue.

1t was arranged on Monday last by the citi-
zens assembled here, that District meeting
be called at the Court House on Saturday next
for the purpose of raising means to equip the
three Companies Of Volunteers recently raised
in the District, and for providing fund for the
families Of all volunteers from our District who
may be in needy circumstances. We hope
every man in the District who can get here
win be present. Let there be no skulking
fiom duty. 1t has been said that all parts Of
the District have not contributed alike to the
great cause in which we are embarked, and
that there are men among Iii of ample means
who have done comparatively little. We hope
that there will hereafter be no ground for any
such remarks as these, aud that every man wil
prove his readiness to support the cause to the
full extent Of his ability.
As oil Barncs very justly observed in the
Court House on Monday, those who re-.
main at home have duties to perform not much
less important than the duties of those who

barrels than we have received here before
in one year. As salt can be manufactured
TO n large extent in the Southern Confed-
eracy, it is unnecessary for consumers to
submit 10 any eXtortiOnatc prices.
There is some talk that Il few dealers in
coffee have monupoIzed tho stock Of the

consumers to pay famine prices, say from

Increase of our Forces.

The Confederate Congress has passed an Act
making iurtherprovision for the public defence,
in which the President is authorized to call for,
at his discretion, volunteers to the extent Of
four hundred thousand This number, f call
ed into the field, will swell our forces to about
six hundred thousand mcn-enough to defend
our soil against the utmost that the North can
do. This addition is more, by fifty thousand,
than the number recommended by the Secre.
tary of war, and with the troops now in the
field, will perhaps exceed to q small extent, ten
per cent Of our white population.

Commissions of Executors.

Mr.. EDITOR Under the Act Of the Gone
raj Assembly a. ID. 1889, Executors are en-
ii led 10 retain IA sum not exceeding the SUN
of tif y shllings for every 100 POUNDS, which
they shalt receive, and the sum OF fifty shil
lings for every one hundred pounds. which
they shall pay away, &c, &c, and so in
proportion for any sum or sums less than
ore hundred pounds"
The practice has very generally prevailed,
in the settlement Of estates, by Executors
and Administrators, to charge live per cent.
Of the whole amount Of the Estates, and
distribute the remainder. This rule has
not been strictly confarnable To the law
and we have heard Of nearer approxiina.
ton to Justice, by first deducting two and
one half per cent. from the gross receipts
and afterwards deducting two and one half
per cent Of the remainder for the comms
sions or the payments. This, however, Is
not strictly correct, for the Executors or
Administrators thereby receive their com
missions on sun really larger than the
amount of their payments.
In the settlement Of the Estate Of tn.
late William McKenna, which exceeded
the gross sum Of 100000, 1t was sugges-
ted by one of the Executors, that injustice
would bs done by either Of the usual
modes
The correct rule was applied, and is
now published, a. we are not aware Of its
having ever been before adopted. After
deducting the commissions on the receipts
the remainder should be divided into two
sums one Of which should be two and
one half per cent. on the other. The less
sum is the amount OF the commissions on
payments and the greater, is the SUN to
be paid to debtors, legatees and distribu-
tees. TO solve this problem the gross re-
ceipts should be divided by forty and the
quOtient Is the commissions on the receipts,
or two and one-half per cent. thereof At.
ter deducting the commissions, the remain
der should be divided by fOrty.one and
the quotient deducted therefrom. This last
remainder will be the sum to be paid and
the quotieut will be one fortieth part there
Of, or two aud one half per cent Of the sun
TO be paid. The aggregate Of the commits.
sions on tho receipts and payments will be

What Lancaster has Done.

Capt McManus, the Roll of whose Company
we published last week, left with his COM
mand for the Camp at Lightwood Knot Springs
on Friday last. Capt. Barnes and Capt. Hinson
will 60 down next week. Lancaster will then
have five Companies (ncar BOO men) in the
Confederate Scrvice-two for "twclve months"
and three "ior the War" Our voting popula'
tion' is about l0Oe. If any District in the State
has done better than this, we are not aware
of it,

A Fund for District PURPOSES.

Several additional companies from this Dis.
trict are preparing to enter the Confederate
service. The expense OF fitting out these CON-
panies and providing for the destitute families
OF volunteers that may be let behind, properly
devolvcs upon the District. 1t is time that our
people were taking some s'cps TO provide a
fund for these purposes. We hope no man
who has not volunteered in the cause will he.
itate to render some assistance to those who
have, and 10 their families, should any be left
in needy circumstances. The man who has
any means at all, aud will neither volunteer or
pay anything in support of the cause, does not
deserve the protection cf his Government, or
to participate in the right and privileges which
that Government is now struggling TO secure
for US. II there are any such among us, it
were better Tor the cause that they occupied
-some locality more congenial to their feelings
than the chivalric Palmetto State.
We have no plan to propose by which a Dis
trct fund for the purposes indicated may be
raised We merely wish to bring the subject to
the minds Of our people A correspondent has
suggested through the Ledger, that every man
pay to a regular disbursing Board, appointed
for the purpose, a sim equal 10 so per cent Of
his last years General Tax. This would be
fair-would be equitable, and would, if carried
out, answer the end In view, and we would not
hesitate to urge It's adoption, we're not the ghost
Of the failure Of the l2 l.2 per cent proposition
present. 10 our minds. weheard that number
: objected to the plan from principle. Whether
those who made the objection demonstrated,
through any other system, that they were vii.
ling to give something to the cause, We do not
know. Unless they did, Il would not be easy
TO appreciate tho objection.
II is incumbent upon the District as O whole,
.and not upon lew individuals, 10 attend 10
this matter Numbers, no doubt, have volun-
,teered with the belief that there Is sufRcien,
patriotism left behind TO secure their families
from want Shall they be disappointede
We hope the Board Of Commissions Of Poor
at their next annual Session, II tho var lasts SC
long, win place this question beyond the con-
ttingencies which now surround II, by levyine
Jan assessment sufficient to cover the large addi
tional want Of the )poor, occasioned by Oh,
heads cf families volunteering for the war
When q matter OF this kind is left TO volun
tary contribution, Il IL almost invariably IN,
case that q few Rberal minded persons hav,
the brunt of the burden 70 bear.
