Answers to Correspondents.

BLUFFToN.-Our figures are correct
and have never been denied. 1t will
take one mill on the dollar of the entire
taxable property of the county to pay the
claims of the Standard for the last year.
Rive do not know who is RESPONSE
bic for. the appointment Of Mr.. Mulligan
as trial justice. We suppose he was re-
commended by n. B. Myers or Mr.. Bas-
comb.
SCHOOL TEACHER. School claims are
not to be paid out of the fund raised by
special tax to pay past indebtedness.
MATILDA.-Your inquiry as to the
proper manner to eat soup, whether
from the side of the spoon or from the
tip, was handed to a social philosopher
whose reflections are as follows:
Do you remember when DR.. Blimber
had party, Mr.. Toots came first of the
guests. He had arrayed himself in pur-
pie and fine linen, and had his cuffs
turned up over his coat sleeves.
The cxtyoung gentleman came with
his cuffs turned down. So MIR. Toots
turned hisdown. The next had his turned
up-so Toots TUNED his up Toots aban
doned it.
The question Of how to carry soup to
ones mouth is involved in that obscurity
which invariably is the result of dispute
where there are many commentaries,
and no inspired authority. Amid the
perplexities which have involved me
while searching for truth on this point,
there has been cvident-like star in the
sky-like thread in labyrinth-like
a refrain in the bewiderment of an or
chestra-like duck on a June bug, one
great facts, viz: Get your soup to your
mouth without spilling it; into your
stomach without burning your mouth,
and lett it quietly digest.
There is no other rule. IF you attack
the point of the spoon YOU may choke
yourself by contact of the metal with the
epiglothis; ifyou sip it at the side. you
produce sibiant akin to, but different
from, the sweet, electric, gushing music
so indispensable in osculatory bliss. l
give it up.

IN MEMORIAM.
The following are the resolutions adop-
ted at he u;,t ting held last week iii the
Keaoibg Room, Beaufort, S. c.;

1t havirG Z l,:iscd the All Wise Father and Ruler
Of the Universe to repioye from the ard activi-
ties Of this mortal life, to the wider sphere andmore
exalted employmcnts Of Immortality our brother
and friend Stephen Caldwell Mi!lett.
ResOlpoi, That although stricken and overwhelmed
by the severity oI The Low when with :,lc warning
has taken from our midst % valued and valuable
member of society, We reverenty bow 10 the d.
vine dispcnsalon.
Reoired, That by the death ofStephen Caldwell Mil
lett the social ci Gle has lost one Of its brshte.t and
| most genial ornaments; systematic b1nevocHce has
parted with generous contributor aud aIinoner; the
sad aud suffering the poor and the lowly, 50 often
and so unostcntatiously chacrcd and encouraged by
his warm-hearted sympathy and exeftions, have
buried friend; and the business community In
! which, as man OF dauntlcss energy, indomi'ablC
perseverance, and ceasceSs activity he had come tt
be widely and justly recognized has sustained al
irreparatle loss; VII We, sp cialy associated with
him in 50 many OF the varied and best relations o
life, and bound TO him by strong cords OF mutual
| esteem and respect, feel sorcy chastened and be
reaved.
Resolved That we tender TO the widow OF our friend
the tenderest and warmeSt sympathies of our hearts
| that we sit down beside her as brothers In bel
speechless and awful sorrow, drinking with her tht
cup of bitterness which God has commended to hel
lips, and pointing to the only source from whence
consolation can come at such an hour-the hop'
that looks upward to Immortality.
Rssoued, That we commend the little ones who al
written orphans to the benifcent care and watch
full providence of the Universal Father relying upor

Resolred, That the rooms Of the Beaufort Reading
Room Association so appropriately made the repos
itory Of the ifcicss remains of our frend-his drs
and his last resorting southern resting place-b

and that the Association be requested TO enter the'
resolutions upon their minutes.
Resolced, That the proprietors OF newspapers IL

Tired Of Hard En- :eks.

A. O. Jones withdrew his name as one
of the trustees in the legislative certif-
cate bill. He is tired of standing up to
be fired at. He has acted as a figure
head in the Republican Printing Com
pauy, taking the odium and hard knocks,
while his senatorial partners absorbed
most of the profits, leaving Jones and
Woodruff to bear the brunt of the fight
when the day Of reckoning comes. Joe
Woodruff has more endurance. He
still suffers in silence. We hope he will
be driven beyond even his patience and
then, some day, We will get that check
book.

Who buys the Forfeited Lands.

The Union Herald points out with
great effect that it is mistake to suppose
that when the taxes are so heavy as to
compel the owners of land to sell, the
poorer class can buy. The middle class
may buy, but real poor men can't.
When taxes are so high, rent and provis-
ions are high, and yet wages are low. IL
hits the poor man both acdys. Every poor
man should keep this in mind. That is
the reason why, although about 25O,-
600 acres of land have been sold for taxes
lately, still the State has had to lake it
all, and the poor man has not been able
to buv n tax title. There is no getting
round that fact.
In this county hundreds Of poor COL
ored men have been sold out of house
and home for non-payment of taxes, and
there will be many more sold out this
spring; but we have yet to hear Of an
instance where any colored man has
bought piece of land at these tax sales,
unless he was an office holder or a MEM
Der of the legislature. In proportion to
their numbers and the amount Of land
owned by them, the colored people of
this county have suffered more from the
operation of the tax net than their white
fellow tax payers.
In the two townships of st. Helena and
Beaufort, the fifty per cent penalty for
non-rcturn Of real estate to the auditor
has been added upon the property Of
over one thousand colored landholders.
1t is estimated that the sum of five
thou sand dollars will be collected out Of
these poor people this year, over and
above what would be collected from the
same number of persons able to inform
themselves Of the requirements Of the
laws.
Those who are so blatant in their
appeals to voters to "stanl by their own
color" have taken little care to instruct
them and protect them against the over
assessment of their property and the
accumulation ofpenalties.
On several occasions lately, we have
called attention to this matter, and we
recently visited the Comptroller Gener-
ais Office to see if an abatement could
not be made for these poor ignorant
people. Mr.. Alfred Williams has, we
believe, called the attention Of our dele
cation to the facts, and some efforts will
probably be made to rcctiiy what ought to
have been prevented.
