THE TAXES.

Although the time fixed for the payment Of
taxes, without the penalty of twenty per cent, ex
pired on Saturday last, We understand that the
County Treasurer has received instructions not TO
enforce the penalty for the present. How long
this indulgence will continue, We are not advised;
but as many of our farmers are now preparing cot
ton for the MARKET and thus better enabled TO pay
their taxes, VIC would suggest that such as are de-
linquent avail themselves of the opportunity offer
ed
We learn that over $4,000 has already been
paid to the County Treasurer, which leaves bal
ance of $4,000 not yet collected. AS most Of this
latter amount is based upon property, nearly tho
erire sum will be collected As general rule, the
negroes have paid promptly, and only small pro-
portion of the amount now due includes capitaton
tax.
The assessors for the various townships have
been appointed, and are now engaged in receiving
returns of personal properly for the year COM
mencing on the 1st Of September, 1869. The as
sessmeut of real estate will continue as formerly.
In cases where the price fixed upon real property
is erroneous, We would suggest that the owners
begin at once to seek the remedy pointed out
out to them by the law ITSELF

THE MEETING IN UNION.

The proceedings Of public meeting held OF
Union CHI on salcday last are published in to-
days issue. The object had in view looks 10 the
reputation of the bonded debt contracted by the
present State government, and is direct thrust
at the Blue Ridge Railroad. 1t comes with bad
grace from section whose representatives sought
similar aid for the extension of the Spartanburg
and Union Railroad, at the hands of the present
Legislature. Failing to this aid, it appears
rather awkward for the same people to begin a
movement destined to cripple another enterprise,
if the effort should prove successful. We trust
that the people of Anderson will declino the iRvi-
tation to meet in Columbia for the purpose indica-
ted by these resolutions. Let US rather seek TO
gain control of the State government by legiti-
mate means, and cndcavor to correct the abuses
of power by the reigning regime, in bringing Sc
carity and relief to the whole people,

CATALOGUES.

We have received the trienniaI catalogue of the
University of South Carolina. 1t is neatly prin-
ted by JOHN W. DENNY, Columbia, s. C. The ad-
vertsement of this institution appears in our
columns, and We think it matter of congratula-
tion that the present Board of Trustees are deter
mined to sustain the University in manner credi-
table to the State and worthy of it's own record
Our young friend, JAMES b. SMITH, has sent us
the catalogue of Davidson College, n c. We had
occasion recently to refer to the location and ad-
yantages of this College, and further information
enables us to recommend in strong terms that
liberal patronage be given towards sustaining it as
one of the foremost of Southern colleges.
We are indebted to the President Rev. ]. I.
BONNER, for copy of the catalogue of Due West
Female College. The number of pupils in atten-
dance during the past session was l2l, and
among them fair representation from Anderson
county. This college is in prosperous condition,
and with an able corps of professors and exceed
ing low rates of tuition We may confidently pre-
dict an onward career of usefulness. The fall
session will begin on the 4h of October, and for
additional particulars, we direct attention to the
advertisement in another column. The catalogue
was printed at the 4. R. Presbyterian Office and is
quite creditable in its Typography.

REVIVAL IN THE BAPTIST CHURCH.

An interesting and protracted meeting in the
Baptist Church Of this place closed on last Thurs
day night. The meeting continued over fortnight,
and every night the congregations we're large, re-
spectful and attentive. Indeed, we have seldom
witnessed o series of meetings so solemn and i'm
pressive in their character, and this feeling so
deeply manifested in large congregation. The
pastor, Rev. W. D. BEVERLY was assisted through
out the meeting Rev. j. X. MENDENnALL, of New
berry, whose untiring labors were blessed with
abundant reward. AS speaker, Mr.. MENDBN-
HALL is endowed with superior gifts of attraction
and eloquence, while his carnestncss in the cause
of Christ renders his preaching effective and
impressive. On last Sabbath, nineteen persons
were baptized at the usual place i'll Rocky River,
as the immediate result of this meeting
We are also gr.tifcd to learn that eight persons
united with the Presbyterian Church of this place,
on Sunday last.
These evidences Of religious progression in our
midst will be heard with joy and gadness on the
part of all who feel an interest in the extension of
the Redeemers kingdom.

He never saw but two steamboats,, and one of

it An editor incarcerated in his sanctum for a.
lifetime, with nothing to change the monotony
of the DEVILS cry for "more copy" is enough tc
drive him wholly mad. We trust that our vener-

THE cENsUs--ERRoR IN BLANKS FURNISH.

An examination of the blanks furnished by the
Executive Department of the State 10 the Census
Takers in this county, will show that no column
is provided for persons between the ages of l6

costs nearly as much to keep such a
cow as to heep one worth eighty
dollars, and the latter should make
make, at least, eighty pounds OF
butter per week, besides supplying
milk and cream in abundance.
Suppose, then, there were four
pounds out OF the eighty dollar COW
to sell, at an average of thirty cents
per pound-this will give in six
months twenty-eight dollars and
eighty dollars and eighty cents for
butter sold. For three months more
she will yield a surplus of two
I ounds per week for sale, swelling
the cash receipts to thirty six dol
lars. For one month more she will
supply the family. On the other
hand, the forty-dollar COW will sup
ply the family with butter during
about eight months, and for two
months more will only afford milk
months four pounds Of butter per
week must be purchased, at an av
erage of fort. cents per pound. cost
ing, i'll the aggregate, twelve dollars
and eighty cents. This, added to
the surplus of the eighty dollar COW,
gives a deficiency on the Inferior
animal of forty eight dollars and
eighty cents-in round numbers we
will call it fifty dollars, as the differ
ence will be considerably more than
made up by surplus OF milk for
the pig.
Now, as it is expensive keeping
COW " hen the owner has ali his feed
to purchase, can he afford to keep
an inferior one? Would not a su-
perior animal pay her owner cost i'll
surplus ;or sale.
Take another estimate. 1t is said
that the average yield of COWS kept
for family use is not more than
eighteen hundred quarts of milk per
annum. At five c.nts per quart
thic amount of milk is worth ninety
dollars. A good Ayrshire or Short
Horn may be purchased that will
give. at least. tour thousand quarts
per annum, which, at five cents per
quart. is worth two hundred dollars
Ii the inferior COW would supply the
family, the superior one would
yield twenty two hundred quarts for
sale, which will bring in small
town fivt cents quart, making
total OF one hundred and ten dollars
clear gain. The extra cost of keep
ing q superior animal might cut
down this profit to ninety dollars =

Care Of Poultry in Winter.

Very few persons pay necessary
attention to poultry in winter, al
though at this season they require
constant care. A poultry house, to
be quite warm, should be construc-
ted with double walls and roofs like
an ice house, and should have as
much glass IS possible to admit
light and sunshine.
Boards about four inches wide
are better adapted to roosts than
round poles, rs the fowl, sitting on
them can cover their feet with their
feathers and protect them from
frost. Old hens are not worth feed
ing; they should be got rid of and
young vigorous ones substituted
When more than three year old.
hens are not usually worth keeping
Abundant food should he given
in winter, as without it very few
eggs will he obtained Every pnul-
try house should be furnished with
boxes for the hens to lay ip, SO ar
ranged that they cannot roost over
them. Food and water should be
given with regularity, and Il supply

charcoal should be aiwads available

A Warm Bed for Pigs.

We very well remember a SAYING
of an old gentleman, an excellent
farmer, that if you would make
h"g profitable, you should not let
him ever see winter: and we think
we have satisfied ourselves that
spring pigs, we'll kept and nursed,
are far less expensive, and yield
more in return for their keeping
than those which are fifteen and
eighteen months old. But one
thing is quite certain if We prefer
our store hogs to come in the fall.
we ought to be careful to keep them.
through our long, cold winters: both
warm and dry.
Every observant farmer knows
that if bis cattle are not sheltered
from the cold weather and storms.
they will require much more food
to keep them in tolerahle order.
than If they were kept warm and
comfortable. just as it is with pigs.
if they are suffered to run over your
premises in the snow and sleet. with
their legs apd snout as red as the
gill Of your gobbler, without warm
and dry bed Of clean straw to resort
to when they choose they will not
only, in all probability. come out
with mango in the spring, hut every
grunt they give will convince you
that all the food they have devoured
has been thrown away; for shoats
that have cold, damp, comfortless
bed. will get NANCY, and NANCY
pigs cannot grow.
Let auy one who has a mind to
try the experiment, take two pigs of
the same litter, suffering the one to
run as above. and let the other be
well housed and well fed. and it will
be found that the superior growth of
the latter will pay for the care bes-
towed upon him, with good interest.
Hogs that are confined, and connot
get to the earth, will frequently be
benefited by having little charcoal,
soft brickbats, or soft rotton wood
thrown in to them; and a trifing
quantity of birthstone mixed in their
food. occasionally, is an excellent
thing.
The hog has the reputation of
being a dirty fellow. hut we should
remember that he likes to be dirty
in his own way. and for his own
pleasure he neither prefers to live
cold nor in filth; still less does he
choose to he half fed. DR.. Frank
Inns man said the hog was the only
gentleman in England. because he
alone was exhonerated from labor.
II this he so. SUI ely he ought to be
we'll fed and well housed in Ameri-
ca. We entirely believe that the
same amount Of food that will barely
carry pig through the winter with
bad management, will. with good,
prudent treatment, keep him grow
ing, and in the spring you have
something to build upon that will
by-and- by make you a solid porker
