tempting to do his duty, we do not regard him
as competent to 6ll his responsible Office, nor
do we think that the duties of his Office are
efficiently administered.
\ The county commissioners, as far as we
know, have properly fulfilled their duties.
The condition of the roads and bridges
throughout the county is good, and the law
in regard to work on roads is properly en-
forced
We have examined the Office of the county
treasurer, and find that said treasurer has re-
ceived of county funds, during the present
fiscal year, Gncluding $1,451.32 balance on
hand from the last fiscal year, and exclusive
of the school fund, and the fund for the relief
of the widows and orphans of persons killed
on account of their political opinions) the
sum of s15,S3S02, and paid out $3,O19.35,
leaving balance on hand, on 10Th March last,
Of $12,S1S.67. Since that date, there have
been some small receipt and disbursements,
which will not, however, materially change
the above statement.
The tax-levy for the support of the widows
aud orphans of persons slain because OF their
political opinions, has brought into the county
treasury the sum of s1,S5505. Of this, there
has been paid out the sum of f$S18.OO as fol-
lows:
To Rachel Leech and seven children~..... 1882 90
TO Clarissa Good and two children, l4S 5O
To Dicey Brown and four children, 229 5O
To Rosetta Williams loo w
We regard the tax as more than sufficient
for the payment of the pensions provided by
law.
In regard to the retailing of liquor, we re-
port that, in our opinion, few, if any, who are
venders of liquor in this county, have COM
piled with the law. But We also think that
this has resulted from general misapprehen-
sion of what the law really is. We recon-
mend that the county commissioners revoke
all licenses which they have granted for the
retailing of liquors, restoring to the parties
such portion Of the price paid for said licenses
as in the judgment of the county commission
ers shall be just and proper, and that hereaf-
ter the county commissioners, before granting
licenses, require from all vendors Of liquor a
strict compliance with law.
In conclusion, your Honor directed US to re-
port as to the general peace of the county.
We take pleasure in saying that there has
never been more profound peace and quiet IN
the county than at the present time, and that
the only violations Of law in our midst are
those minor crimes and misdemeanors from
which no community can expect to be wholly
exempt. Respectfully submitted,
J. F. CAROTHERS, Foreman.
April Term, 1878.
In regard to 50 much of the foregoing re-
port as relates to the granting Of licenses for
retailing spirituous liquors, Judge Mackey
made the following order:'
"That the County Commissioners do require
all persons, to whom licenses to retail spirit
uous liquors have been granted by them, to
comply with the provisions of the law relating
to the sale of liquors, and to revoke all those
wherein the same are not complied with"

The CharlestOn News and Courier.

The proprietors Of the Charleston NeUs
having recently purchased the Courier estab
lishment, now issue morning paper under
the name of the News and Courier. They
also continue the publication of the Courier
and issue it as an evening paper. The Nesos
has heretofore been conducted with great en-
ergy and tact, and has achieveda success that
is marked and quite unusual in the history Of
South Carolina journalism. The new combi
nation furnishes wider field for enterprise
and judging from the past, we feel assured
that the most will be made of the opportunity
presented. The daily Ne.cs and Courier is
published at sS per apnum; 81 for six months
and $3.50 for three months; the tri-weekly al
81 per year, or $3.50 for six months. The
Courier is issued at $6 per annum; $3.50 fol-
six months and 81 for three months. Ad'

The Atlantic Horror.
The ocean diaster, by which more than
six hundred persons lost their lives, continues
to be subject of comment with the press
All agree in placing the responsibility of the
calamity on the owners and managers of the
vessel. The New York Tribune closes its re-
view of the affair in the following terse man
ner:
The ship approaching an unknown and
danger-lined coast; officers ignorant OF the
navigation before them are on duty; the ship
is making at least twelve miles an hour con
spicuously y vivid beacon lights must be in
sight; the coast-line is white with snow, and
the breakers show their glistening teeth in the
broken starlight; the reefy beach is dead
ahead. Yet the captain of the vessel calmly
goes to sleep, and his subordinates stolidly
keep the vessel crashing on to certain destruc
ton. This is not only the great calamity-it
is the great crime of the century.
The Effects Of the War.
- The census of 1870 gives some interest
ing statistics concerning the effects of the late
war. These statistics show how the South
has suffered and how the North has prospered
by the calamities of the country:
The taxable real and personal property II
the United States, according to the census Of
1860, was valued at sixteen billions Of dol
lars In 1870, this valuation is increased te
thirty billions-being an increase of fourteen
billions of dollars in ten years. In Other
words the wealth of the country has beer
nearly doubled in that period.
When we consider that during i've years o.
that time, the country was engaged in one o.
the most gigantic wars of modern times, in
which hundreds of thousands ofhuman lives
and many millions worth Property were de-
stroyed, the great increase in the value o.
taxables is noteworthy and almost inconceiv
able.
A comparison of the different effects of the
war upon the fortunes Of the two sections O.
the country, shows that while the Northern
States have increased their wealth sixteen bill
lions of dollars, the South has lost over two
billions of its taxable wealth, from 1860 tt
1870.
A noteworthy point brought out by the cen
sus, relative to the condition of the Southern

THE NATIONAL BANK
OF CHESTER, s. c.,

OFFERS for sale limited number OF the above
mentioned BONDS, at the following rates:
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS, (only $l00O0 Per
mile) at 81 cents and accrued interest; SECOND
Is cents and accrued interest, and recommend
them to Trustees and others having money to In.
vest, as being the most desirable security on the
market, for the following reasons, to wit:
F1RsT.-THEY CANNOT BETAxEp BY THESIAIE, S'a
COUNTY OR Town. The United States Supreme
Court, in the case of the Northern Central hall.
road vs.: Jackson, (see 7 Wallace, Supreme Court
of United States, page 2s7,) decided that when
railroad mortgage Is joint one, on properly ~,
thereby are not liable to be taxed by either OF the
States and the same principal relieves them from
taxation by County, City or Town. The Char,
lotte, Columbia and Augusta bonds are secured
BY Joint snHth mOfg1ge On p.oaae ns f
SECoND.-Because they are absolutely Sa!e, be-
ing secured by first mortgage OF only 9l0,OOO,
and second mortgage Of only IS OOO per mile on
the entire road from Charlotte to Augusta, and on
all the workshops, bridges, franchse anu equip
ments of said road. ..
THIRp.-Because the sale Of the first mortgage
bonds will e1tinguish the floating debt OF the road
and the proceeds of the second mortgage bonds
and adding to its equipments thus enhancing
the value Of the property mortgaged.
.FoURTH.-Because the bonds are coupon Donds
and the interest payable in New York, Chariote
Columbia and Augusta, at tne oPtiou VI tne uoiI
er Thus they can be collected through any bank
without expense, a'c,
FIFTH.-The business Of the Road is rapidly
increasing, and the property and franchise daily
becoming more valuable-the net earnings for the
last five months being over fifty per cent: more
than for the corresponding months of the preced-
SixTH.-These Bonds are practically redeen,a-
Bile in gold, for specie payment will certainly De
resumed before their maturity. investors WIN
therefore, buy with greenbacks worth ST. cents,
and receive their pay at psr-thus addinga profit
Of OVER THIRTY CENTS on the dollar on the First
Mortgage Bonds and OVER THIRTY-sEVEN CENTS
on the Second Mortgage Bonds, and In the mean
time receiving high rate of interest.
F1NALLY-As these Bonds have fixed value
in New York, Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta,
they are considered good collaterals, on which
money can always be borrowed for temporary
purposes. H.. JOHN J. McLURE, President.
