POPULAR FALLACY AND DEcEpTIoNs.-
II is m infirmity of man to cling to the
teachings OF a past generation, and to
stubbornly resist the lightof reform and
progress. Health-reform and temper
anc~e-growth are icalously watched over
by the poisson bitters compounders.
One great prevailing deception of the
present age, isthe impression hat every
human biped of either sex must be
stimulated, and the poisoned chalice is
labeled "Medicated Bitters," the bet
ter to p~alliate their use and prolong the
epidemic. One of the most jealous
workers to cure this malady, DIR; Joseph
Walker, inventor and proprietor of the
famed California Vinegar Bitters, be-
lieves in making bitters that are "true
medicine" and advises the sick man to
swallow a draught that will wash out
tho leprosy of his disease. In this faith
he IS steadfast, and his Vinegar Bitters,
though n contradiction to the general
character of all other bitters, are, as q
great success and life vitalizer, evidence
Of one popular f%allacy and corrected.

art consists in the restoration of old

What Farmers Should Not Do.

A farmer should never break up more
land than he can thoroughly cultivate;
hnlf-tilled land is always growing poor
er, while well-tilled land is constantly
improving. A thrifty and prudent far
mcr will not devote his sole attention to
the improvement Of certain fields on his
farm, because the land is easy to work,
and let other portions of his premises
go uncuItiyated, and grow nothing but
brush, bogs, briars and stones. A far
mer should never have more cattle,
horses or other live stock than he can
keep in good order. An animal in good
order at the beginning Of winter is al
ready half wintered. Nor should he let
his cattle endure the chilling storms of
winter in an open yard or field, while a
few sIlillings expended in providing
comfortable stables would amply repay
him in saving fodder and afford u grea-
ter quantity OF milk. A farmer should
never depend too much on his noighbor
for what he can careful management
produce on his own land. He should
not make it Il cOmmo practice to either
buy or beg fruit while he can plant
trees and cultivate them on his own
ground, nor annoy his neighbor by bor-
rowing tools to work with, while he can
make or buy them. "The borrower is
II servant to the lender" A farmer
should never be 50 immersed n politi-
cal matters rs to neglect doing his vari-
Gus kinds of work in due season, and to
tidy up matters and things for the win
ter o should he be so inattentivc to
politics rs to remain ignorant of those
groat questions of national and state
policy which will always agitate more
or less n free people. Erchange.
THE higher development of each civ
ilization IL II self-criticism and along
with the condemnation Of the past, neat
ly packed in silken integument, lies n
promise of better things. But this di-
vine verdict, towering at the top of the
plant, can only wither by staying there;
it must be blown, or shaken, or plucked
thence and consigned to that earth which
we all despise so truly, the hearts and
heads of common men. There must it
find the soil and moisture, blood and
tears which bursts its rind and evolve
the God-head within. -Hoyatio Green

nD- Question to be discussed at the next
meeting of the State Agricultural and Mechan-
ical Society, proposed by the country newspa-
pers, viz: When did the Charleston Ne''s and
C5urier become exclusive proprietors OF the
essays read at the spring meeting of the
Society," After this question has been salts
1actorily adjudicated, the next business will be
to ascertain whether or not the aforesaid jour-
nal Was furnished with the manuscript copy OF
the essays by their respective authors. Or was
it a monopoly of enterprise and other news
paper virtues which secured the distinction for
that iournal9 The discussion will be opened
by the enterprising scissorist Of the Ne'0' and
Courier, whose daily business is to collate the
items of State news from the country journals,
without giving credit to the proper source.

State and County Taxes.

We are indebted to the County Treasurer,
B.D. Dean, Esq, for the following exhibit of
the State and County taxes for the year 1872:
Total amount of taxable property in Ander-
SON County, real and personal; s4,s1e.oo2.
Upon which there. was assessed and levied
she following taxes: State, s5S, ,s92.O2; County,
$7,s74; School, 50, 2,41o.s7; Poll, ss,ll4. Ag-
gregate taxes levied, 81 ,S9O.Ss.
The nulla bona taxes stand as follows: State,
s1s1. .a6; County, s22.67; School, $7.31; Poll,
s196. Total amount uncollected, s4O6.S4.
Deducting the amount returned as nulla
bona from the SUM total levied, and the result
shows that S71, ,4S4.55 was collected for all pur-
poses. Taking into consideration the amount
of taxes levied, Anderson County stands at the
head of the list for prompt payment and close
collection.

B@ The aggregate sum returned to the
United States Treasury by twenty-seven MEM
bers of Congress is s1l1,oOo, which amount
was received as extra compensation, under the
increased salary job. Senator Sumner declined
to accept this extra compensation, and check
for 81 ,444 from the Secretary of the Senate on
Summers account is included in the aggregate
sum. This action of Senators and Represen-
tatives is quite commendable, but it seems
strange that we hear no intimation of President
Grants returning the 100000, which was his
share of the salary grab. Without his sigma
ture the law would never have been enacted,
and it would appear to be decent and proper
for the Chief Magistrate of s. great nation to
decline the acceptance of extra compensation,
which was not contemplated when the people
elevated him to that position. We presume
the President will excogitate this delicate ques-
ton during the summer recreation at Long
Branch.

treasurer Allen, of GreenvIIIe.

The indictment of James NJ. Allen, County
Treasurer of Greenville, for malfeasance in
Office, has excited much interest throughout
the State. The trial of Allen. took place. at
Greenville last week, before Judge Cooke, and
lasted three days. The State was represented
by Solicitor Blythe and Attorney General
Melton, and the defence was conducted by
Messrs. D. T. Corbin, B. F. Perry, Wm.l;H.
Perry and James A. Dunbar. The exami1a-
ton of witnesses occupied two days, and on
Thursday morning the argument commenced,
eight hours being divided equally between the
lawyers on both sides. The jury returned a
verdict of guilty." and the Court sentenced
the defendant to pay fine of $1,000, and to
be imprisoned in the Penitentiary for two
years.
The defendants counsel Immediately gave
notice of an appeal to the Supreme Court, on
the ground that the statute Of the General
Assembly, under which he was tried and con.
victed, is in conflict with the Constitution Of
this State. Upon filing the grounds ofappeal,
an application was made for bail on behalf of
the defendant which met with objections from
the Attorney General, and after hearing argu-
ment for and against the application, Judge
Cooke refused to grant the privilege of bail.
Pending the appeal to the Supreme Court, we
presume that Mr.. Allen will remain in custody
of the Sheriff of Greenville.

- The Cincinnati Commercial tells how they
protect drunkards from saloon keepers in that
State. The particular case before the Court
was suit by Mrs. Lewis, who resided in
Ironton, Ohio, whose husband had been sup
piled with liquor as long as his greenbacks
lasted. In consequence the topper, while in
delirium tremens, wandered around in the
woods for about two days, and was found frozen
to death. Under the advice of respectable
neighbors, the widow at once brought suit.
After full trial, the jury awarded her five
thousand dollars damages. Immediately there
on, the whisky man, one Evans, turned every
thing into cash and departed for parts un-
known. On such action being brought to the
knowledge of the Court, an order was made
setting aside the sale as fraudulent and inten-
ded to defeat justice, and directed the judgment
to be levied on the real estate.

The Railroad BRIDGE at Aston.

The Union Times speaks as follows of the
substantial structure being erected by the
Greenville and Columbia Railroad over Broad
River, which will be completed in short
time:
When finished it will be one of the best built
bridges in the whole country, will last hun
dred years, and be monument to the taste,
energy and skill of Col. Dodamead and the
mechanics employed on it. We have never
seen better timber put into any structure. 1t
will be enclosed at the sides, with tin roof,
and when completed will cost about SS0,0OO.-
We think it will prove to be money we'll spent,
for we doubt if our children's children will
live to see the time when new bridge at that
point will be required.

PENDLEToN, May 19, 1877


Ahr. Editor: Can you inform us what has
become of our County Commissioners? Have
they vamoosed the rancho, because of made
quate compensation for their laborious, we'll
performed services? We have heard that COM
plant has been made of insufficient compensa-
tion for the heavy services that has been
inflicted upon them. Then if so, why not
resign and let some other citizens have the
place that might be willing to work cheaper2
Why, sir, one of your correspondents, indeed
all of your readers, recollect not very many
years back when our Commissioners of Roads
and of the Poor served without any compensa-
ton, and was it not for the stealing disposition
of our Legislators, who are disposed to palliate
their own acts by liberality to under officials,
it would be done now. One of your cores
pondents has served many years since as Com
missioner of both Poor and Roads, and also as
an overseer of roads at different times and
places, and yet never received one cent of COM
pensation, and he is quite sure the roads were
better worked in those times than they are now.
found the roads generally almost in as bad con-
dition as the streets and roads in the corporate
limits of Old Pendleton are, and that is saying
almost as much as we could in truth say Of
their bad condition. 1t is to be hoped that
our Grand Jurors will particularly notice the
state of the roads, and whisper something in
His Honor Judge Cookies ear on the subject
We have had favorable time for road working
since the rains set in, and an unfavorable one
for any farm work, and yet the only set of
hands we have seen at work was on private
road, with occasionally one man on the streets
and roads in and about Pendleton.
We write this article, Mr.. Editor, with no
captious or fault-fnding disposition, but only
to have the evil complained of remedied, if
possible. We are in favor of, and especially
when Commissioners are amply paid for all the
services they render to the County,
GOOD ROADS.

Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
At the recent session of the Southern Baptist
Convention in Mobile, the following resolutions
in relation to the Theological Seminary, now
located at Greenville, were adopted. The pro.
position to raise three-ffths of the endowment
of $5OO,OOO in Kentucky is fayorably received,
and likely to prove successful. DR.. Boyce
stated, in the discussion of these resolutions,
that he had assurances of receiving $780, 900
from Louisville alone, and the remainder of
the State will raise an equal amount. We re-
gret the probable removal of this institution
from our State, but our impoverished condition
since the war gives the advantage to more
favored communities. The liberal endowment
of the Seminary is necessity, growing ont of
the increased attendance of Students many Of
whom are unable to provide for their board and
tuition, and assist in the maintenance of the
Seminary professors. The Baptist denomina-
tion of the South is sufficiently wealthy to fur
nish ample means for this endowment, and it
would he lasting shame and reproach for the
Seminary to languish in their midst. The res
olutions appended are simply an expression Of
opinion and sympathy by the Southern Baptist
Convention, as the Seminary was primarily es-
tablished by an Educational Convention, and
is controlled by Board Of Trustees, who have
full power to act in the premises:
Resozued, That this Convention cordially ap-
prove the action of the Board of Trustees, in
locating the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary at Louisville, Kentucky, when a suf.
fcient endowment, of at least $50O,O0 shall
be raised.
ResOlved, That the Baptists of the other
Southern States are earnestly recommended to
contribute literally to raise the amount OF
100000 for its permanent endowment.
RESOLVED, That the Convention recommend
to the Board to raise the money outside of
Kentucky upon the condition that if the sum
of 100000 shall not be raised in Kentucky,
the Board shall not have the right to use the
amount thus contributed outside of Kentucky
for location at Greenville, CT at some other
place chosen by the Board: said location to be
approved by the Convention.
