which ought to be authority on such
matters, publishes tho following as a
cure for this torment:
"Thc safest, the most acce ssiblc and
the most efficient cure of corn on the
toe, is to double piece of thick, soft
buckskin, cut hole in it large enough
to receive the corn, and bind it around
the toe. If in addition to this, the foot
is soaked in warm water for five or more
minutes every morning, and a few drops
of sweet oil, or rather oily substance
are patiently rubbed in on the end after
the soaking, the corn will almost infalli-
by become loose enough in a, few days
to be easily picked out with the finger
nail. This saves the necessity of pairing
the corn, which operation has sometimes
been followed with painful and danger
Gus symptoms. If the corn becomes
inconvenient again, repeat the process

SERUOF,
A Gard From Senator Andrews
Nlr. Fielder Answered.

To the Editor ofMc Daily Union Mral7:
The following extract is taken from
Card to the Taxpayers Of Orangeburg,
under the signature Of Mr. p. S. Eel
der:
CAT meeting called on last sales day,
recommended to tho taxpayers not to
pay until after tho meeting Of the Tax
payers Convention. At that time I ex
pectea this convention to be immelate-
ly called together, and some action taken
in relation to this grievance. The con.
vcntion is ordered for the 18th Of Fob
ruary, which will be too lat, fear, for
any practical result, because most of tn c
taxpayers who can pay will have done
so, and the treasury of the ring will be
at the food tide. | notice, also, that
with but one exception, no other county
has giUen the same advice, and many of
the taxpayers of this county are paying
1t would be useless for only a few of us
to hold off. The taxpayers of South
Carolina have q hrcat lesson to learn,
and until that is learned nothing can be
accomp lishcd."
(The italics arc mine)
The distinguished egotism of these
sentences commands my profound ad-
| niration. Mr.. Feldor recommends ot
the meeting of taxpapors that the pco.
pie should not pay their taxes, and he
goes on to say in this card, for he speaks
by the card, "I notice also that with
but ono exception no other couuty has

me to resign, as [ am utterally unable
to represent Mr.. Folder as a county:

ID APpLEs.-It is stated that by care
full analysis it has been found that ap-
pies contain larger amount Of phos-
phorus, or brain food, than any other
fruit or vegetable, and on this account
they are very important to sedcntary
men, who work their brains rather than
their muscles They also contain the
acids which are needed every day, es-
peoially for sedentary mon, the action OF
whose liver is sluggish, to eliminate
cffete matter which if retained in the
system, produces inaction of the brain
and, indeed, of the whole system, caus

his illness was not SO great as to cause

was to follow. On Friday uight they
retired to bed as usual, but during the

HOW 30 Cook a TErnip.

| will ask the readers to cook two
turnips in wo different ways. The first
is to be pooled and sliced, aud left 20
soak in cold water for an hour or more. {.
The slices are to be boiled until quite
tender. and thcu are to be drained, and
nicely mash ed with butter. This is the
most common method OF cooking, and it
has the dcmerit Of washing ont the gum
and the sugar and the other fiuer consti.
tucnts Of tho root, and consclu ,utly the
favor is very much reduced. The other
root is tc be washed quite clean; but it
is not to be pcalcd, or cut or soaked.
Boil it whole in its Jacket" 1t will
take twice as long to cook as the one
that was cut. When, b. trying it with
a fork, you find it quite tender, take it
up, peel it, press it moderately, and
mash it with butter. You will be sur.
prised ut the difference. Instead Of
being, as perhaps you will expect,
strong frank" or bitter it will be
delicously full favored, and will contain
all the nourishwent that was in it before
it was cooked.

such persons hope that by hindcring the
education of the colored man, he, til e
colored man will by reason of his excess
through ignorance prove himself unfit
for citizenship and 30 have those cher.
lshed rights taken away by the same
power that conferred them, they are in
dulging in an delusive droam over
which Democritces, himself ifliving,
would wildly laugh.
Turn from such dreawns, Mr.. Editor,
and see what has been achieved in Mid
die Township through the energy and
perseverance, of an able and efficient
Board of School Trustees.
Schools have been established,
houses built, by competent, earnest labor
ers, and successful teachers employed,
and the work goes bravely on, looking
to and forthshadowing grand SUCCESS.
Seven full Schools, six colorcd and one
white. (BethcD are now in fine running
order and paying back to the people in
tuition dollar fer dollar of all their ex
pendturcs on school account.
The Board of Trustees, Fourcs, Phil
lips and earn, have, under the most
discouraging circumstances accomplished
great work which must stand monu.
mcntum acre percnui'us.
Two white Schools, sIndian Camp"
and "Four Holes" gave way on the first
quarter and were discontinued. There
was no money in the Treasury, and the
tancher Of the fret mentioned school no;
being able to obtain from any of his
patrons advances to moot liabilities,
withdrew. The teacher, first grade, Of
the second named school, after short
but successful run, was basely calunni.
ated by some Puritan or other, who had
optics sufficiently keen tc sec the mote
that was in his brothers eye, whilst he
very carefully neglected to consider the
beam that was in his own eye The
fact is the teacher alluded to was too
much of Republican and not enough
of hypocrite to suit some persons, and
so ut their request he vas removed by
the Trustees and placed in charge of the
large and feurislling colored School at
Bethel Church.
Mr.. Editor, the Trustees Of Middle
Township arc in 'labors abundant"
The faithful teachers now employed
find their positions no sinccures. Will
not the people sustain these earnest labor
crs for the common veal? The Free
School system is the life boat Of the pre-
sent generation. Let the storm beat

discussion of the finances has No. been
resumed in the Senate for severai DAYS
past. Tho understanding ems to be
that an opportunity shall be offered to
the entire body Of the Senate for full
ventilation OF fiua ucal views. Members
Of the Senate have been reading the re.
ports of the proceedings Of the National
Board Of Trade ut Baltimore, and have
regarded with interest the remarks Of
business men upon the financial condi-
ton. But the most experienced mem
bcrs Of the Senate have about como to
the conclusion that nothing in the w;fy
of legislation can be looked for at this
session. The general sentiment is that
the House Will pass some measure, direct
or indirect (most probably the lattcr),
looking to initiation Of some sort, and
that it will certainly not receive the
sanction of the Senate. Many arc of
the opinion that now it is wise to let
we'll enough alone.
