For the anderson Mtelligencer.
ASSISTANT ASSESSORS OFFICE,
5th Division, 3rd District, S. Carolina,
ANDERSON, S. c.; April 16, 1870.

To the Editor of the anderson htelli3cnccr-
SIR: 1 see by advertisement in your paper ap-
pended the following regarding the sale OF
Sumter Bitters, i.e.: "By recent decision OF
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue any
person can sell these bitters (Sumter) without
retail liquor dealers license"
This Office is aware of no such decision.
The Hon. Commissioner has decided, how
ever, (see Record 1870, January 1st,) that Abit-
tiers and other alcoholic compounds which are
put up and sold as medicines, and which are
properly stamped as such under Schedule @
under the Revenue Law, should be treated as
medicines, and persons selling the same should
not be required to pay special tax as liquor
dealers" When, therefore, such bitters and
alcoholic compounds land compounds contain
ing one-ffth spirits are considered to be such)
are sold as medicines, they must of course be
sold in the same manner as are other medi-
cines, viz: upon the prescription of surgeons
and physicians. The law does not, in this de-
cision, intend to authorize the sale of bitters
and other alcoholic compounds without the
payment of the tax as liquor dealers, except in
the case referred to, where they are sold strict
ly as medicines.
By giving this publicity you will probably
do favor to the apothecaries and merchants
of this division, as this Office is aware of large
number of persons who are indiscriminately
dealing in such liquors. Respectfully,
ERASTUS w. EVERSON,
Assistant Assessor

Extraordinary Weather.

We have had an unusual experience for this
season of the year. On last Sunday, the peo-
pie of this section witnessed alternate rain and
sunshine in the forenoon, with an occasional
sprinkle of s1eet and snow And in the after
noon there was veritable snow9storm on a
diminutiye scale! This extraordinary weather
was followed on Monday morning with frost
and ice, the latter near half an inch thick.
of course, such weather will initiate against
the fruit crop seriously, and cause much dam
age to vegetable gardens, It is also conjec-
tured that the wheat crop win beinjured. We
have interviewed s'the oldest inhabitant," and
that venerable sage informs US that there has
been no such weather, known in this neighbor-
hood, during the month of April, since the re-
niafkable snow that fell on the 18th of April,
ls49, just twenty-one years ago. At that time,
vegetation was more forward than it is to-day,
and it is probable that greater damage ensued
10 the growing crops.

THE CONFEDERATE DEAD AT GETTYSBURG.
We trust that the appeal contained in our
last issue, as to the proposed removal of there
mains of the Confederate dead now bleaching
upon the field of Gettysburg, will not pass un-
needed. The following paragraph from the
New York World does credit to its author:
This surely is not right. So careless have
we been of the Confederate dead buried at Get
tysburg that there is widespread feeling in the
South which has found expression in mourn
full cry, that her dead ought to be brought back
to less inhospitable soil. Now, that the South
should wish to have within her bosom the
ashes of those who died for her is perfectly just
This even they who will not give those dead
the credit of patriotic motives can hardly deny.
But it is discreditable to the North that we
should wreak our vengeance on those who have
expiated their "fault" or mistake" or Crime"
by their deaths. And what is it but wreaking
vengeance on corses, when those in charge OF
the Gettysburg Cemetery say that "their charter
only provides for the intermcnt of the remains
of those who died in the defence of the Union"
But no civilized nation would hesitate to do
honor to its gallant enemies-no, not even the
Cossack The ladies of the South, the soldiers
of the South-among them their chief-are
gathering their mites to bring these ashes OF
their dead home. 1t will be lasting disgrace
if we do not render it unnecessary.

sumed In this, as in other things we must
learn that confidence is plant of slow growth,
and patiently abide the hour when reason shall
re-assert her sway. and honesty, intelligence
and upright conducts shall govern the common
wealth. Let us not reach after impossibilities,
nor long after the hesh-pots of Egypt" But
with an eye single to the future welfare of our
common mother, strive earnestly to- purify the
fountains of legislation, and build upon the
ruins of the past the proudest monuments OF
our wisdom, integrity and never-endingju justice
This exhibition of patient toll and stern endu-
rance will soonest bring relief, and along with
it happiness, contentment and lasting prosperi-
ty for our entire population.

R1s. and it was discovered that he was missing !!
A strict search through the train revealed moth,
ing. and as the cars were then running at ordl-
nary speed, it was too late to arrest his foot
steps-the bird had flown, and our frlends lelt
in the lurchl This sudden and unexpected de-
parture took every one by surprise. Upon
consultation it was agreed that one of the party
should return by the next train, but careful
inspection around Gadsden the next morning
resulted in additional disappointment. His
whereabouts remained undiscovered, and resort
was had to the telegraphic wires in various dl-
rections, but at this writing we are not apprlsed
that any efforts to arrest his fight have been
successful
We have given an authentic narrative OF this
huge and extraordinary sensation, which will
be remembered in the annals of our quiet
town. Our people have been deceived and wo-
fully disappointed, and few of our citizens
egregiously swindled. 1t reflects upon our sa-
gacity and sound judgment as an enterprislng
people. But we desire to say that the author
of all this commotion is we'll calculated to i'm
pose upon others less credulous. He appears
to be the very picture of sober industry and
lifelong integrity, and his countenanoe indi-
Gates every mark of an honest mani The best
Judges of human nature in our midst have been
deceived by his plain and unassuming exterior,
and it is really wonderful that the actual losses

should not e'anowed to fall through. Let the

Bsr From present appearances, we think
there will be an average of one candidate from
each county in the First Congressional District
of this State, who is willing to sacrifice private
and personal interests for the public good by
taking the seat made vacant by the expulsion
of WHrrrEMoRE. 1t appears to us that so
many candidates will ensure the reelection of
Fl. W., however much that may be deplored.
At the proper time, We hope to see the people
united upon one man.

NEW FIRMs.-In the last few weeks, our adj
vertising columns have announced several
changes in the business community and the es-
Enlistment of new firms in our midst. We
propose to notice them briefly, in order to direct
attention to some of our enterprising friends.
The new firm of Wilson & REED, at the old
stand known as McCully's Corner, promptly ad-
yised the public as to their whereabouts. They
are young men deserving success, with thor
ough knowledge of business, and have now in
store an elegant assortment of goods purchased
at low prices. Everything is neat and orderly
about their store, and we advise an inspection
of their stock.
The popular drug store on the north side of
the public square has undergone change OF
proorietors. Messrs. WALTERS & BAKER have
retired from the business, and given place to
Messrs. SIMPSON, HILL & Co., reliable and
trustworthy gentlemen, with ample means and
an experienced head to guarantee success. Mr..
SIMPSON is widely known as an accomplished
apothecary and druggist, and will give his per-
sonal supervision to the establishment.
The firm of CATER & MARTIN has been dis
solved by mutual consent, and copartnership
has been formed under the name and style of
MARTIN & HARRISON, at No. 10 Granite Row.
These gentlemen are now receiving an assort-
ment of new and beautiful goods, suitable for
the season, and they will satisfy customers as to
styles and prices. We ask for them liberal
share Of patronage.
The firm of DoBnINs & SHELTON has also
been dissolved by mutual consent, and the busi-
ness is continued at the old stand by Mr, DOB
BINS, whose accommodating disposition and ex-
perience in business will bring around him a
host of friends and customers.
Any of our friends wishing legal advice will
find Mai B. F. WH1rNER at his office on Brick
Range, ready to serve them at g moments no
