TAXABLE PROPERTY.

The Charleston Mews publishes interesting to-
ble,, showing the taxable property of the States
together with the number Of acres and value ef
lands in every county. The total assessed vaiae
of real property is put down oil Sl26,1zl,O8S, and
the total value of personal property at S3s s5 254
making the grand total of l64,O22,a42. Upon
this amount there is levied tax of -fourths
of one per cent which will realize 81 23O, ,160 1t
will be remembered that the appropriation bill
passed at the last session of the Legislature e1-
pressly limits the total amount to be assessed at
not exceeding one million of dollars Hence,
we have the result Of the taxpayers being re-
qs.isea to pay into the State Treasury nearly
twenty-five per cent. more than is authorized by
law.
From the tables referred to, We learn that the
total value of real estate in Anderson county bns
been assessed at S3,479, ,302; personal property,
moneys and credits at ST. $50, 169. The number
Of acres of land in this county is returned at 44o
9l3, and the total value including prices of build
ings, is S1,745, $50. The State Board of Equali-
cation added so per cent to the value of real es-
tate in this county, as returned by the County
Auditor.

Friend Hoyt: On yesterday evening we attend
ed one of those interesting festivals which always
make US happy, and, as it were, gives US new
era from which to date many pleasant recollec-

Miss Anna Pickens, of Pendleton, is in most

for the purpose of relieving the dull monotony of
daily routine, and to please their friends. The
Academy was crowded at an early hour, anxious
ly awaiting the opening of tAe exercises. Soon n
beautiful band of fower-girs were seen proceed
ing towards the throne, which was prepared and
and singing as they advanced. They were follow
ed by the "Queen of May" Miss Mallie McGee,
aud the "Goddess of Flowers" Miss Emma Moore.
The Queen being seated, the Goddess congratnla
ted and welcomed her to her dominons. Maid
Of Honor, Miss Mamie E. Breazeale, and Crown
Bearer, Miss Lilla Carlisle, then came upon the
rostrum The Maid of Honor after receiving the
crown in a very graceful manner. placed 1t upon

Miss Alice Breazeale, Autumn, and Miss Alice
Brown, Winter; each bringing with them their

seat on the throne. The Queen then arose and
thanked them all for their kind favors, and bid
them remain happy. After these exercises were
over, bountiful repast was served in the way Of
lemonade, ice-crcam and cake. The evening pass

portion remained until late hour, enjoying a

THE AIR hrNR RAILROAD.

Are the people of,ths section alive to the i'm
portance of the Air Line Railroad Before the
war; i. was apparent that this enterprise was look
ed upon with favor by every class of our citizens

been perceptible, while vigorous efforts "'e being

Of trade and travel The citizens of GreenVlle'
Spartanburg, York and other points are earnestly
striving to secure the route through their county
towns, and keeping alive the subject by frequent
meetings and constant communication with the
officers Of the Road. 1t must be clearly seen that
Anderson stands pre-emineutly above all the 9TH
srs in the advantages, and yet there is dull
apathy peryading the people. The original line
contemplated Anderson as the Eastern terminus,
thence to Newberry over the Greenville Railroad,
and from there to Chester, forming straight line or
nearly 30 to the principal cities of the Union The
present charters contemplate building Road from
Atlanta TO Charlotte, leaving out all other connec-
tions and securing route nearest approaching an
cir line. thus vindicating its cognouen. Now, the
question has been resolved into this. that the route
will he located whore il is most desirable, and as
the corporation is not looking TO government sub
sides, the communities through which 1t VIII pass
must offer some inducements TO secure its location
The various counties in Georgia seem to be at work
upon this supposition, and meetings are being held
in Banks, Gwinne,t aid perhaps others to deter
mine the mode and manner by which they can
easiest obtsin its construction through their re-
spective territories. From Atlanta the work Is
being rapidly pushed toward in the direction OF
Gainesville, and we very much fear that its COM
pletion to that point will fix the Road upon another
noute and leave Anderson out of the question. At
any rate it would be we'll enough for the people to
INQUIRE into tue matter, and ascertain the true con-
dition of their prospects as to gaining or losing
this important link in great through route from
New Orleans to New York. few public spirited
men have kept in sight of this enterprise at every
step, but the majority of our citizens are not arous
ed to the grand Importance Of lending helping
hand TO aards constructing the Road, and thus IN
ducing it's management to adhere to this point as
one of their chief objects. We know that ruined
fortunes stare many of best ctzens in the face
today bat We are equally well assured that there
is sufficient poneyed capital in this county. not
otherwise invested. to complete successfully with
any of our neighbors in this work. Shall We
throw away the opportunity without an effort?
Indifference and neglect often drives ones friends
away from him, and this is Of corporations as
we'll as of individuals. 1t may be possible that
neglect and seeming Indifference upon Our part
may have the effect of locating the Air Line Rail
road to our disadvantage.

Mr.. EDITOR: The article Of Mr.. Larkn New

cause of rust in wheat is concerned. Wet wealth.

ies; but wish to submit for the consideration

eret lies"
It is now almost universal practice 70 cut

If man cuts his wheat before it is properly ripe,
he ought not to expect healthy and perfect crop
therefrom.
These thoughts naturally lead us to the remedy,
viz: That every farmer should set apart For

ripe before he cuts it, and use this mature grain
for seeding.
By pursuing this course, and alsc selecting the
heaviest of this, and using the usual care in soak
ing, &c., with deep and thorough preparation,
with manuring and early sowing, am firmly Of
opinion that rust in wheat would soon be among
the things that were.
Farmers, think of this, and as the season Of
harvest approaches make your selections from the

order of nature, you will save yourselves from the
disaster of rusty fields and light crops.

OUR GEORGIA CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr.. HORT: We are here in this beautiful town,

green's and flower gardens. assure you an eve-
ming STROLL viewing the beauties of nature, is not
unpleasant; and withal the charming daughters
of Eve add no little to the beauty and gaiety OF
this Ilace, which would be lovely and attractive,
without adornment, because of Heavens chiefest
blessing to man.
Merchants here seem to do pretty good busi-
ness, but not on On extensive scale like your vii
lage. There are good many business houses and
some few of large order. The farmers sell very
little cotton at this place, as Augusta is their mar
ket.
We have one hotel, which is a good one, but l
don't believe there is much travel in this direction,
and am not certain that it is o paying institution.
1t is strange that the lower country do not make
this O place of resort in summer. The water is
good, and there is no more healthy locality.
This place is the residence of Hon. r. Toombs
He is leading quiet life in the practice of his
profession. Here resides another distinguished
lawyer, Gen. D. NJ. DuBose, of the Confederate
army, aud also Commodore Thos. Hunter, who de-
rived his title in the Confederate service.
There are four churches here-Methodist, Pres
byterian, Baptist and Catholic. The houses Of

DIED, of Consumption, at the residence Of his
father in Williamson, s. c., on the 18th of No.
vember last, DR.. R. K. KING, for several years
resident and pYacticing physician of the city Of
Columbia.
This young and gifted gentleman graduated
with distinction at The Medical College in Charles
ton in 1866. He was well known and highly re-
spected by large number of persons here, and
secured many warm and attached friends by his
amiable traits Of character. During the late war
he filled the responsible station of druggist and
assistant in the Ladies Hospital, in the Eastern
part of Columbia, and by his assiduity to the du-
ties If the post, and his attention 10 the wants,
and his e1ertions in aleviating the sufferings Of
the sick and wounded in tha. institution, aud by
his universal politeness, he won the lasting regard
of all the patients who came under his care, and
secured the confidence and respect Of the ladies
who had charge of the Hospital.
After the close Of the war he established him
self in the city of Columbia, and devoted himself
to the practice Of his profession with great devo-
tion and soon acquired reputation for much
skill, and was rapidly rising to well merited fame
when the fatal disease, which eventually ended
his life, seized upon him and cut short his future
prospects.
The writer of this imperfect tribute to his mem
CRY knew him we'll, and bears willing testimony
to his nobleness of character and his great worth
as man, and unites with his family and friends
generally in mourning his early death. He was
without question man of talent IN hrs profession,
liberal to q fault, charitable and dhumane. Had he
lived, he would have Adorned the profession Of
his choice, and reRessed honor upon the character
of physician for he was attached To- It's prac-
;ice, and had just that order Of mind and acute
ness of perception, and that pecuIior benevolence
of heart which are necessary for and which even
tualy lift its votaries 10 enviable distinction.
He has gone to that "Home from wheecs no
traveller returns, that pae1plored country, un.
known TO mortals, except by the eye Of faith in
the promise of "Him who spake as never man
spake," whose precepts md promises, if believed,

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoNs.-At the recent torn OF
the Circuit Court for 0rangeburg county, Judge
CARPENTER decided several important questions,
among them the following:
First. That Executors Guardians and other
Trustees. are not protected by investments made
in Confederate bonds, unless the eestu que trusts
authorized them, or ratified them by receiving the
interests profits, Sc.
Second. That as tojudgments or mort cages prior
to the passage of the Act the Homestead Act is 20
exemption, and that the Sheriff shall make sale,
under the liens thus created, and in default thereof
is liable to an attachment for contempt.
Third That as to contracts for purchases made
during the war, under the scaling ordinance, proof
cannot ordinarily be introduced as to the value OF
the property sold, for that would be equivalent to
the making of o new contract, but that the value
of the contract may be found by showing the rela-
tive value of Confederate currency in good money
by any other property at the time.
