Paying for Property Sold.

a It's rather an anomaly in trade
for a vendor to find bimself trarls-
ferring property and yet paying
for it at the same time. g Yet
such thing has actually occurred
at lyme, Conn, in the course of
transaction in the meat business.
The butchers of that goodly village
have not, it appears, reduced the
price of meats at retail in prepor-
ten to theirireduction at WholeG
sale. 3 Phas a farmer sold an ami
malEto abutcher st certain price
per pouhdy and part of the agree
ment was that the butcher should
return him quarter of the AMI
NAL after killing. The butcher
charged it to the farmers at the

struck the farmersfotiad thatshe
must pay the butcher something
for taking therthreeqtIzrtsrs OF

Imnortant 10 Dealers in Real Estate.

Important to Dealers in Real Estate.
At the last session of the Legislature
an Act was passed entitled can Act to
Further Amend an Act Entitled An
Act Providing for the Assessment and
Taxation of Property" and in that Act
we find the following paragraph, towhich
we would call the particular attention of
parties purchasing lands:
{ Amend Section go by adding:- !" And
provided, further, That each County Au.
ditor shall keep record OF all sales OF
conveyances of real property made in his
umns, the names of the purchaser and
seller, the quality of land conveyed, the
location and price of the same, and there
from correct the County duplicates an
nually; and for the purpose OF CARVING
out this provision, the Clerks OF Coar.s "
and Registers of Mesne Conveyance OF
each County are hereby required 70 a;. aase
on each and every deed of conveyance
for real property. that the. same is on
record in his Office, before the same can
ne ,flacecI ON record in the offices OF said
iCjeres. Of Courts or Registers OF Mesne
Conveyances, Con N @ @ and the said County Audi.
tor shall be entitled to collect a. fee OF
twenty-fiye M ~ cents, for his own use, for
making such entry and endorsement"
I From the above it will be seen that it
is necessary to have the endorsement of
the County Auditor. upon each deed of
conveyance, "that the same is on record
in his Office" before the Clerk of Court
can Il record the deed in the Clerks Office.
Mr.. r. A. LYNCH, at this place, is the
Auditor, and will take pleasure in ma
king the necessary endorsement on your
land papers, or in transacting any other
busing you may have in his Office.

The Court.

The Court of Sessions convened at this
place on Monday last, Judge MELTON in
attendance. In the beginning, discus
sion arose as to the legal status of the
Grand Jury present-whether, being
drawn under the old Jury law, they
could rightly serve. 1t was decided they
could not, and they were dismissed. In
consequence of this there is no Grand
Jury, and of course no bills can be given
out. To day Tuesday the Court is en-
ployed upon certain minor criminal cases
left over from former terms. We are
informed that Judge; MELTON intends
trying as few Jury cases as possible; in
fact that he will probably dismiss the
Juries this afternoon, that they may be
off to their farms and plantations, WELD
ing their strong arms against the danger
Gus and aggressive grass.
The business of the term must neces-
sarily, nnder the circumstances, be con-
fined to equity business, and as this can
not be begun until next week, the Judge
and lawyers will probably lie upon their
oars for the remainder of the present
week.

The Railroad Prospect Brighter than
Ever Before.

At Railroad Meeting held at this place
some two months back it will he remem-
bered that two Committees were appoint
edtesworNin the'interest of the matter.
On Monday last, one of these Committees
opened their books for subscriptions !;
and we are very happy to announce that
the spirit and liberality manifested on
this occasion make the prospect Of Rail
road betweensEdg and the Pine
House far brighter than it has ever been
before. Intact, judging from all we have
seen and heard, we are strongly of the
opinion that the $4,000, 1 considered ne
cessary to begin with, will be subscribed
before another week has passed And
when the Road shall have reached our
village, who doubts very seriously that
it will be soon extended to intersect the
Greengille g. Columbia Road at New
Market or Ninety Six? Believe us, the
people on the proposed route between
this point and New Market or Ninety
Six, are neither so poor in money, in en-
terprise, or in brains, as not to promptly
forward Road so fairly started.
But more in future on thisS all-impor=
tant subject, when we shall in all proba-
biHty have something more actually tan
gibleto announce. For the present, suf-
ficeitto say that men Of enterprise have
taken hold Of the matter, and are SUD-
scribing their money. If there are grum-
blers and do-nothings In the premises,
we say temphatically let them be ignored

would sit and see Edgefeld delivered
