De Gnn Shoot.

On Tuesday evening, between SIX aud
seven O clock, the firing of heavy guns
was heard here. The concussion shook
the houses in town causing inmates deal
deal ofsurprise. Some thought Of thunder
some of an earthquake, and some remem
bercd time When We were all familiar
with such sounds. The co!ored people,
in some instances were sure the Span
;,rds had come, and that we had new
war indeed. The firing seemed to be at
sea south of us, and Was heard again at
a later hour in the night.

Dogs.

Anderson county has 1914 dogs,
which her people value at S3,G57, or
about sl.25 per capita. Laurens county
has 3,lS6 dogs which are valued at
$l5,93O or nearly SIS per head. Beau
fort county has 4,3S2 dogs, valued at
$24,3l3, or $5.54 cents per head. So
we are ahead in numbers and also in
quality, as indicated by the price set
upon them. 1t is noticeable that we
have only S., l73 worth of sheep and
goats in the county, and even in hogs we
have only twice the value of our dogs.
Some queer communities devote much
time and labor to rai>ing sheep and hogs,
but We fad dogs much easier 10 raise.

The Taxable Property Of Beaufort.
OFFICE COUNTY AUDITOR,
Beaufort, December IL, 1878

Editor Of he Commercial:
Will you allow me a small space in your columns
to correct mn error? Cent Smails was informed by
one connected with the tax department In Columbia
that the value of personal property OF this county, as
returned by ms for 1873, wasseoo0oO less than tie
amount returned in 1872. The facts are these: The
amount of personal property returned by me IN 1877
was 81 14gs3 while in 1873 returned but u Ill
49, or Just S3ss So less than the amount returned
for 1872 But the return OF the Port Royal railroad
amounting to 1913 9esS is included in the amount
returned for 1872, which If deducted will leave the
amount of personally for 1872 but sl,lSe,!50. Now
if we subsiract from this last amount the Sll2l49o
returned for the present year, we have difference
of but sI665 in favor of the year 1872 which is the
true depreciation.
The error probably arose from the fact that in
1872 was instructed to return Railroad property as
personality while this year am directed to return
said property separately Ny abstracts on file at the
Comp toll ,r-Generars office in Columbia, will verify
this statement.

Incarnoration for Port RoraI.

Senator Smalls introduced a bill for
the incorporation of Port Royal as a
town, one day last week. We hope our
delegation will attend to this at once and
give us charter, Although the popu-
lation is not large the business of the port
draws great many people here, and
there should be some incorporated body
ready to deal with all who congregate
here.

And after thirty years trial, the PAIN KILLER

for there is no region of the globe into which it has
not found its way. and none where it has not been

climate TO which il has not proved isclfto be well
adapted for The cure of considerable variety of dis
eases; it is admirably suited for every race. 1t has
lost none of its good name hy repeated trials, but

iicd testimonials TO its virtues, from persons of the
highest character aad responsibility. Physicians Of

tual preparation for the extinction of pain. II is
not only the best remedy ever known for bruis $,
It's, Burns &c. but for Dysentcry, or Cholera, or

passed for efficiency and rapidity Of action. In the
great cities of India and other hot climates, II has
been the Standard Medicine for all such complaints
as well as for Dyspepsia, Liver Conn laints, and 9TH
er kindred disorders. For Coughs and Colds, Can

proved by the most abundant and convincing tcSt-
mony to be an invaluable medicine. No article ever
attained such unbotindcd popularity. As an exter-
nal and internal medicine, thc Pain Killer stands
