UTILIZING THE GREASE OF SLEEPS
WooL.-An additional instance of the
possibility of converting what was form
erly considered refuse into valuable ma
terial, is seen in the case of the fatty
matter contained in sleeps wool, and
technically known as STUNT. This con-
tains about 40 per cent. of potassa, and
when ignited the alkali becomes entirely
mixed thereby with strongly nitrogcnized
animal charcoal. The result of recent
experiments tends to show that STUNT,
thus treated, may be used to an excellent
profit in the manufacture of prussiates
and cyanides.

sold in Marietta as during the present season.
Buyers have met the farmers promptly with
prices fully as good as could be realized in any

fed that our producers are now receiving lib
eral remuneration for their hard labor in the
fair prices now given for Cotton.

THE QUALIFICATION OF VOTERS.

= The law, as it now stands, prohib
its any one from voting, who has not
.epaid his tax for the last year-l87O.
TheBullock Legislature declared the
poll tax of 1868, 1869 and 1870, il
legal, and forbade its collection
Tire present Legislature has repealed
that act, and requires everybody to
pay up all taxes for the three years
past so that all who were relieved
by the act of the Bullock Legislature
must yet pay up all back dues for
taxes.
The Constitution requires that all
voters shall have paid tax, for the
year preceding that in which the
election is held ; consequently those
who have paid all tax for 1870, can
vote, and those who have not cannot
vote. -AtLanta Sun.

EXPLORATORY LEGISLATION IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.

SOUTH CAROLINA.
If the mongrel Radical banditti
who have control of the State Gov
eminent of South Carolina are IN
scrupulous in their system of ROBBERY,
by which they have bankrupted the
State, they are jealous in their eff
forts to reform the morals and man
ners of the people whom they have
plundered, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing extracts fran the Legislature
proceedings;
ENFORCING GOOD MANNERS.
Mr.. Wilkes bill to declare the use
of certain words a misdemeanor, was
read the first time in the House to-
day, Itprovides that any person who
in rude, angry or revengeful man
ner shall call another a liar, thief,
rogue, scoundrel, poltroon, son of
BIB, or other similar opprobrious
epithets, shall be guilty of a misde-
meanor, and upon conviction shall
be punished by Imprisonment in the
county Jail for not more than six
months nor less than one month, or
by fine Of fifty dollars. That upon
an indictment for assault, and assault
and battery, the defendant may
plead the use of the above or similar
language in justification, provided
the assault and battery shall be
proven not to have been too excess
i've.
A WAR ON DRUNKARDS.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Wilkes
to prohibit the selling of spirituous
liquors to habitual drunkards and
other persons, is calculated to carry
terror into the ranks of the numer-
Gus "sports" and bar-room suckers
that infe-t the country. The author
of this somewhat Utopian scheme of
forcing sobricty, proposes to accom-
plish the reform Of habitual drunk
ards by a law somewhat curious
in its operations.
The bill introduced o.day in the
House MAKE it the duty of the
County Commissioners Of any coun-
ty, or the Mayor or Intendent of any
town wherein any hsbitual drunkard
resides, being cognizant of the fact
to designate and describe such
drunkard by a written notice COM
