Mr.. NICHOLS has volunteered to survey a
road leading in direct line from the Court
House to the Depot, or rather where that
structure is to be located if ever built. We
should be glad to have the Commissioners
take the III after in hand, and have it built
at once. Chief Engineer GAGE has offered
the same gratuitous services, and we see no
obstacles in the way provided little effort
is made upon the part of the public.

THE COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION
OF THE SCHOOL TAX.

Attorney General Chamberlain makes the
following reply to certain questions SUBMIT
ed to him by the Superintendent of educa-
'VO osp,on:os rus A1FoosAsrr oA qEssssSi, |
sCoLBBA 8. &C. zDetobetss ISL, !
HohsJ K Jillson, State Superintendent Of
Education.
DEAR SIR-Yours of the 18th instant is
before me. You inquire, first, "Whose du-
ty is it to assess school taxes?'
l answer that, in my opinion, it is the du-
ty of the county auditor.
You ask, second, Whose duty it is to col
lect school district taxes?"
Ianswer that, in my opinion, it is the du-
ty of the county treasurer.
You ask third, eff any school district, at
its annual meeting, fails to raise the tax re-
quired by law, but at special meeting legal
ly called and legally assembled does raise
such tax, is such school district, by such act
ion; entitled to receive its portion of the ap.
preparation made by the State for free COM
mon school purposes?"
I answer that, in my opinion, school dis
trict, which complied with the law in hold
ing special meeting, and laying the neces-
sary tax for school purposes, would be enti-
titled to the same rights and privileges as if
this action had been taken at an annual
meeting, inasmuch as the law expressly pro-
vides for special as well as regular or annual
meetings. r-s:t.@'. -
You ask fourth, ''Is that portion of the
law requiring the Withholding from schoo
districts failing to raise the school district tax
required by Jaw their, portion of,ths State
appropriations for school purposes, constitu-
tional?'
1 have carefully considered this question,
and it is my opinion, as at present advised,
that this provision of the statute of 1871 is
in contravention of the provisions section ST.
article x, of the Constitution of the State,
which provides: First, that an annual tax
shall be collected upon all property through
out the State for the support of public
schools; and second, that the school tax shall
be distributed among the several school dis
tricts of the State in proportion to the re
spective number of pupils attending the
public schools. | cannot reach the conclu
sion that the Legislature are authorized, by
way of penalty or punishment for the. nom
performance Of certain duties enjoined by
statute, to deprive any school district of that
portion of the school fund collected by the
State, to which it would be entitled under
the provisions of the constitution to which
| have referred.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
a. D. II. CHAMBERLAIN, "
Attorney-General.

NOVeuUer, 4, Iotl.
My Dear sir:
President Isaacs, Mr.. Young,
and myself has just given up-with great
reluctance and regret-our last hopes 10
join you to morrow.
The opening of your Road to its junction
with the Savannah and Charleston r. r.
from Beaufort to Yamasee- connecting the
old time-honored town of Beaufort with
Charleston and Savannah by Rail is, to my
mind an important and very auspicious
event. .r
1t is the first stage of Rail Road connec-
ton which when completed will open to all
these towns, new, shorter, and better COM
munications with the commerce and popula-
ton of the great South west and finally join
through them the extreme shores of the
Pacific to the waters of the Atlantic.
1t will open for the first time to the
commerce of the world the beautiful waters
and almost unrivalled safe anchorage of the
Port Royal and Broad River harbors.
Mr.. Isaacs, has been too unwell to-day to
venture on so much fatigue tomorrow, and
Mr.. Young, and myself have engagements
preventing us which we have in vain strug-
gled to escape.
They have requested me to express their
regrets with my own and add every possible
good wish for the early completion and full
success of your enterprise.
I am very truly yours,
JAS. B. CAMPBELL.

one, ''pomc' Which she wishes put in
print, and says us it is my first attempt to
write for the paper hope to see it insert
ed"
We confess there is considerable original
ity about the ponae, but we decline to insert
it, for various reasons; we will sample few
verses thusly:
Heavens blue ETHEREAL vault
Is gaily gemmed with stars,
And Luna elin,es the eastern slope
Accompanied by Mars.
What sublime creation and how kind
in that planet to keep beside Luna in her
wa nderings. She fails to state how far Mars
goes, but we presume as far as the zenith
and then stops, as he is not referred to again
personally. In the second verse she puts
her feminine spurs into Pegasus and mounts
higher:
aye brilliant messengers of night,
Around my pathway shine,
And let those orbS so sadly bright, s:s..
My lovers form entwine." ,.
Sadly bright is poser-but in her anx-
iety to have her lovyer entwined with the
starry beams, she plunges into sea of SOL
ecism. Unable to do justice to the subject,
she strolls to the fields unattended, save by
her shadow, and here the divine af1atus"
gets the best of her, and the heroic, tro-
chaic, and hexameter are strangely mixed up
she goes on wildly about "those towering
pines where moonbeams Dance" and then
as suddenly drops to terra frma whose
grass sparkles like diamonds" and regret
fully she strolls back to the house where Isl
lence reposes and all is profound" in what,
she fails to say. We have no doubt she felt
better after being delivered of such peice
of mental sublimity, but she had another
dig at the moon for ''strolling tn rough the
blind" should have the old fellow In
dicted for burglary. We think this is as
much as human nature can stand for one
week-and as there is sixteen verses LETT, we
will retain them for future use, we think on
the average, she will make more decided
mark by teaching than writing for the pa
pers.
