Its an i'll wind that blows nobody
good, as hattcrs with Grant tenden-
cies will realize. The Greeley meet
ing was lately postponed in New
York in order to give the matters
time to complete a supply Of white
hats. This badge of distinction has
been resolved upon in place of the
kepis and capes worn by the clubs
during the last campaign. In order
to have the badge uniform an
agent was dispatched to Chappaqua
to obtain one Of Mr.. Greeley's hats
as a pattern. He effected his pur,
pose, and the venerable old tile is
now exhibited as the standard,
Those who have seen it say it pre-
sents a very comical appearance. II

The prospects for q good crop Of
and corn were never more
precarious than at this time. The
dry weather Of April retarded the
growth Of cotton, and with the late
rains the cotton and corn are both
needing work, and at the same time.
The result Is that the crop is more
uncertain than We have ever seen it,
p on one place the cotton is being
to the neglect Of the corn,
and Oh another the corn to the neg
lect If the cotton, making or the
other suffer upon nearly every farm,
The cotton is small, and it the next
two weeks is not favorable, the crop
will present a fair showing for a one
half crop.

The Field and Factory gives tn

The Field and Factory gives the
following summary of the crop and
weather prospects for June, 1872:
W. deduce from our crop and
weather reports for the month of
May the following facts: That the
acreage in cotton has been very Its
tie, if any, reduced by the severe
drouth ; but a. leas, one halt the
crop is very backward, and unless
we have a very propitious season
and late frosts, the cotton crop must
fall short of an average one.
The corn crop is very backward
and the plant small but worked
well and in good condition, the
prospect for a larry yield encouraging.
The late sown oats almost a total
failure whereas, the rel oats, 81 wn
in tile tall aud early winter, have
made q good yield. The rel oat is
a winter variety. and should be sown
from the LIST September to the LIST
December-the earlier the better.
One gratifying fact elected, is that
the red clover succeeds well all over
the State, when properly seeded in
well prepared land. October is the
best month TO sow it in. From the
best information We can obtain over
seven million (S7,000,0 00) dollara
have been sent ont Of tie State since
the LIST Of January, 1872, fvr meat,
corn, flour, meal aud hay. On tllis
fact comment is unnecessary, to
reach the minds Of all sensible plant
ers.
We give anumber Of reports from
different counties, among them tht
report of the weather and crops from
this county, as stated in the Fed
and Factory.
Our citizens will remember tina
there was an act to secure more &C
%curate crop and weather reports
passed by the late Legislature, an'
this joolnal complies the reports a
sent to them from several differen
parties in each county. The prope
way for the Field and Factory to d
is to publish the reports from eacI

Several 81 the young ladies ~ our

not forbear m.ntioping the
charming Miss NJ. r., whose
winning smiles and characteristic
good humor rendered her attractive
to all. Surely every one iclt better
for having gazed into the depths II
those lovely eyes and for listening
to the sweet tones of her voice. The
joyous and ~vivacious Miss J. G. also,
by her animated manner and SUI.
perior wit, contributed much to the
entertainment. The music with
which she favored us was highly APP
preciated, as the special attention of
her gallant escort, who listened in
silent admiration, car testify. And
here, we would not forget to mention
the inimitable performance of charm
ing little Miss Annie. Her sweet
voice and modest mien were well
adapted to the plaintive airs she
sang. They won the attention OF
all, and especially Of that handsome,
chivalrous young knight so lately
returned from a not far distant col
lege laden with honors.
On this favored evening there
were many bright lights, but none
shone with more brilliancy than the
talented professor, the erudite schol-
ar, who descended from the summit
Of learning and science, aud for the
time, adapted himself SO gracefully
to the trivial chat Of the hour.
Certainly, the evening of the 7th
will not soon be forgotten. Greatly
are we indebted to our genial friend,

cordial treatment. Her efforts, for
the enjoyment of the guests, were
untiring.

"Noiseless falls the foot Of time

Ere we were aware, the evening
was fast waning. We could but
feel some regrets when we remem-
bered the absence of certain friends.
Several Of our most charming young
ladies were not present. We know
not the cause. Of course, it was
not owing to any remissness on the
part Of the Sardis gallants. The
bright Star of our town was she'd
ding its light elsewhere, and we were
deprived Of its wondrous effulgence.
The absence of another luminary,
who accompanied the STAR, was
greatly lamented.
Success to the next mite, and may
it prove equally pleasant and enter.

THE COLLECTION OF TAXES.

Orders for the hearing of two motions for
injunctons have been granted by Judge Mel
ton, in Columbia, during the past week. The
first is intended to prevent Parker, the pres
ent Treasurer, from diverting the new levy Of
taxes, when collected, to improper purposes,
and is ordered for hearing to-day. The
second is for the purpose of restraining the
collection of the taxes, and Saturday next is
fixed for hearing. The reason assigned for
the last mentioned injunction is that as the law
now stands, no tax can be legitimately levied
and collected, inasmuch as the Constitution
only authorizes the collection Of an annual
tax. The tax collected last winter was for
the purpose of meeting the appropriations for
the fiscal year commencing November 1st,
1871. By the late levy, it is proposed to ap-
ply the taxes, now ordered to be collected, to
the appropriations made for the same year,
leaving the expenses for the year, commencing
November 1st, 1872, to be provided for here
after. The order of Judge Melton is based
upon a complaint made by Attorney General
Chamberlain, on the part of the tax payers
and citizens of the State, and it is asserted by
the Carolinian that the new administration
are at the bottom of the proceedings. If this
be correct, the indications are that it is the
purpose of the new "powers that be-" to pay
some attention to the rights of the people, Of
one thing, however, our people may rest as
sured, that they will have to pay taxes, let
the matters at issue be decided as they may.

passing through crisis. How long before
we will get through no one certainly knows
One thing is sure, those who get ahead now
will, in all human probability, come out first
and best. Those who got good start after
the Revolutionary war kept it for long
time. Some foresighted men at that time
laid the foundation of fortunes which remain
to the present day.
To our people generally, we would say
struggle manfully. Never despair. Let the
man who is in debt get out as soon as posi-
BILE, even if he has to sacrifice some of his
property; and let the man who is out of debt
invest every dollar in property of some kind
Property of all kinds, and especially lands
will be valuable some day in South Carolina
We believe it is the duty Of all our people to
become property holders and to educate their
children. Without any education and pos
sessed of no property, man holds position
in society not much, if any, higher than a
monkey. Such an individual is forced, by
surrounding circumstances, to do the dirty
work of the community in which he lives.
