should they see an advertisement offering

great deal Of money might be saved, not to

DRoCTU Many sections of this district
arc now suffering Tor wan, of rain, some of
which have had none in over four weeks,
and in consequence corn and cotton arc both
liable to be cut off. This drouth is only par
tisl however, We arc pleased to say, for other
sections have enjoyed good seasons all the
while, and the crops arc looking splendid.
To THE COUNTY CoxMIssIoNERs.-At
the request Of citizen Taxpayers, VIC urge
that the County Comp issioncrs Of Newberry
publish statement Of their receipts and dis
barsements Of public monies, that the people
may know how much has been received and
how it has been appropriated. This is but
right, and such exhibits should always be
made, and &c hope that the request will not
have to preferred again. We notice that it
has been done elsewhere.
Acc1DEST-We regret to state that old
Mrs Davis, wife of VIM. Davis, near JaIapa,
while proceeding TO the Tranquil Sabbath
School celebration, fell from the wagon in
which she was riding, and that one of its
large and heavy hind wheels passed over
her back. From hasty examination it was
hoped that no bones were broken, but as the
old lady suffered great pain, we fear that
some serious internal injury has been sus>
taiucd. We have heard nothing further
since she was conveyed back TO her home,
and trust that she may soon recover.
We have read the letter of Attorney Gen>
cral Chamberlain in reply to certain stric-
lures of the Guardian relative to the Land
Commission Swindles, and apart from q
somewhat modest and prettily-wrisren decla>
ration Of the innocence of the writer, no
fact, proof or evidence is established to eX-
honerate him from completely in the damag.
ing transactions. Mr.. Attorney General
Chamberlain is the custodian of peoples
funds, and having the books under his super
vision, he should not hesitate one moment, if
possible, 10 clear his skirts. Ask few more
questions, Mr.. Guardian.
We have received the Minutes Of the One
Hundred and Sixty-ninth Session Of the
Prcsbvtery of South Caro}iua, held at Ave
leigh Church, Ncwbcrry, S. C April 1870.
The minutes together with an interesting ap-
pcndix make up neat little pamphlet of
pages. The Reports Of the various
committees are important and cdifying to |
the general reader. The report on the means |
to increase the efficiency of the Church pre- |
sents in brief and earnest manner the great |
underlying principles which enlarge the
bounds of Zion, strengthen its pillars, in
crease its love, purity, zeal ara efficiency, !
and adorn its outward life. The Scmi-an
nual Report of the Committee of Domestic |
Missions merits thoughtful reading. The |
is from the Presbyterian Publish. !
