THE TAX LAW.

correspondent of the Charleston Courier writes
from Columbia as follows:
1t will be recollected that some two weeks since
there was an anti-tax meeting held in this city, at
which Chancellor Carroll and F. W Fickling, Esq,
were appointed committee TO contest the legal-
ty of the tax before the Courts. 1t is now gener-
ally understood that Chancellor Carroll expresses
the opinion, that while there doubtless irregu
larities, and inequalities in the operation of the
tax law, that charge of illegaity or unconstitu-
tionality would not be sustained by the Courts.
But that the remedy provided for by the Act must
be pursued. In confirmation of this statement, it
appears that Chancellor Carroll has made applica-
tion to Mr. Tomlinson the Auditor, for an abste-
ment of the tax on his own property, on the plea
Of unreasonable assessment, and TINT this has been
accorded.
This result accords with the advice rendered by
this paper to the taxpayers. We were confident
that the movement in Columbia would eventuate
as it has done, and felt sanguine that it was best
for our people to keep aloof from such futile ef-
forts We now desire respectfully TO urge tax
payers to perform this duty, however onerous,
with the least possible delay. There are about
six thousand names upon the tax book of this
county, or say 160 names for each day of the 40
days allowed by law for collection. Only an aver
age of forty persons each day have yet paid their
taxes, and unless this number is speedily increased,
there will be great rush towards the expiration
of the time fixed for the addition of twenty per
cent This addition will be made, and there can
be no excuse received, not even lack Of time ne
cessary to receive the taxes. Hence, we suggest
that our friends frnru the conptry come nromntly
forward, SO that the County Treasurer's Office will
not be overcrowded as the 2sth of August ap-
nrnaches

GEN. A. C. GARL1NoToN.-The Newberry Herald
of last week notices the departure of this gentle
men for his future home in the following compl-
mentary terms. We beg leave to add our Cordial
wishes for the success and happiness of Gen. GAR
L1NoroN, and also to endorse the language of our
cotemporary:
Gen. A. C. Darlington left yesterday for his new
sphere of usefulness in Atlanta, Ga, taking with
him the warmest wishes of his numerous friends
in this district for his happiness and prosperity in
his future home, who at the same time profoundly
regret that circumstances should have been so orr
dered as to call him from our midst.
Gen. Darlington is young man still in the
prime of life, and of the brightest of the egs.
profession in our State. We understand that he
proposes to prosecute his profession in Georgia.
He has brilliant intellect, and logical powers OF
reason combined with mature judgment. and un-
doubtedly is destined to occupy forward position
in the legal fraternity of that State.
Gen. G. has occupied prominent position IN
this State during the last sixteen or eighteen years,
during which time he represented Newberry Dis.
rict in the State Legislature-in the House and
in the Senate. During the war he held high official
positions both civil and military, and after its close
received the endorsement Of his old constitu-
uency by being returned again to the Legislature,
the last of the old regime in South Carolina. He
leaves us with record clean and bright as pub
lie man, and as private citizen without spot or
blemish. We hope, and indeed feel assured, that
his career in our sister State will be as useful and
honorable as it has been here, and that success will
crown his efforts there tt repair the losses which
he sustained by the war
We regret his departure from among US. The
loss that our community and State sustains is
quite an acquisition to Georgia. We wish him
hearty God-speed in the pursuit of happiness and
prosperity

sayory fragrance which would certainly
tempt starving man, but as, fortunately
for as Mrs Brothers had provided q
plentiful basket of dinner we had no need
to accept the offer made by the shingle
getters, with customary North Carolina
hospitality to ''try pot luck.
Such shingles as Mr.. Short is having

From Mr.. Shorts works we pulled down
to the head of Waccamaw river and dart

you coon find it deepens and then becomes
a rapid dark and tortuous stream, which
could be easily navigated if the bodies of
fallen trees were removed. Well, we had
tished little all about the lake catching
the usual pond fish of North Carolina with
occasionally a white perch, but now we
found the perch of the streams, the real
red breast, as wide as your two hands and
quite as thick. A party of gentlemen from
Columbia, s. c., have been spending a
week here and they have sent home num-

art for few days? They would find it
really delightful. Very truly yours,

A New Agricultural Implement.

Our friends, Messrs. THTGPEN u DANCY,
of the Reconstructed Ftoaacr, the new ag-
ricultural monthly published at Tarboro' ,
have sent us by express an entirely orlgl-
nal and somewhat novel agricultural i'm
plement 1t is called Cotton Seed
Opener" and consists of hat triangular
shaped board, beneath which is attached a
sharp tongue, runner or plough. The
whole is about the size of house scrub
bling brush with q long handle attached in
similar manner.
This little implement is believed to be
the most expeditions that can be used in
replanting missing cotton, and it is thought
by our friends may also be found success
full to gardeners in opening drills for peas,
beans, etc. Messrs THIGPEN 4 DANCY say
that they are using it in replantiDg their
missing cotton, in the following manner
A man uses the implement going ahead
and opening, and is followed by boy or
woman who sows the seed then another
man follows with a common flat board rake
and covers the seed, using the rake before
him. In this manner the work of replanting
is greatly expedited.
The "opeuer can be made 10y any
farmer in few minutes time, and can be
seen at this Office 1t is dedicated AMI do
mated to the farmers, gardeners and THEN
posterity. It's efficiency can be greatly
improved by covering the parts that come
in contact with the soil, with iron.
