Extension Of Time.

The Columbia Pteni1 states that Gov. Moses
has ordered the County Treasurers to extend
the time when the penalty attaches for nom
payment of taxes to the 5th Of February. 1t
seems to be understood in Columbia that the
Governor possesses the authority to make the
extension, although a different impression has
been widespread throughout the State: All
the taxpayers want ~ know is that the time
allowed is reasonable and sufficient. The order
of the Governor will tide over the present
difficulties, but the taxes in Anderson County
cannot be- collected within that time, and we
think it the duty of the General Assembly to
grant q further extension until the 1st of
March.
Our County Treasurer and his assistants have
been kept busy for the last three days, and
many anxious taxpayers have waited hours at
the door, feeling an uneasiness until'thelr turn
came to settle the demands against them.

Christmas Festivities.

The neighborhood of old Slab Town was
-enlivened by pleasant social party at the
residence of Mr.. T. w. R., during the Christ
mas holidays. Mr.. R. had abandoned his home
during the sickly season, and had not since
re-occupied it, but gave his permission for the
young folks to use it as aforesaid. About
twilight the votaries of pleasure began to ar
rive, and when Noahs Ark arrived the COM
plement was about made up. Although the
number Of the party was not large, the repre-
sentation from different points was rather re-
markable-Greenville, Anderson, Pckens, AL
ALBANIA, Georgia and Texas-each had their
representations, and the bellies and beaux of
Slab Town and Piercetown rivaled each other,
in extending hearty welcome to their friends
from abroad Sweet music was discoursed on
the violin, and many of the party clipped the
light fantastic toe." The old folks strolled
around as spectators, and being one of that
number take great pleasure in recording two
striking characteristics Of this youthful assem-
blage. First, the early hour at which the
party retired, (not later than - O'clock and
secondly; the entire absence of intoxicating
liquors among the young men. Everything
passed off with propriety, and however old
folks may differ as to the kind of amusement
most becoming such assemblages, all agree that
some kind Of innocent amusement is necessary,
and if our young people will more generally
adhere to the two striking characteristic of the
Slab Town party, in their social gatherings,
much of the opposition gould be removed from
the MUD Of

Fairbanks, Standard Scales.

Fairbanks received the Medal of Progress at
the Vienna Ezposition-the highest prize given
any manufacturer of weighing machines. This
is compliment, and one we'll merited, but
better than all prizes is the award of the entire
weighing world, which considers Fairbanks
Scales the. standard. In spite of largely in
creased facilities for manufacturing, (their
manufactures covering over ten acres OF
ground the Messrs. Fairbanks find that 200
Scales weekly, or 10000 per annum, do not
meet the present demand. Using the best
materials employing skilled and experienced
workmen, and giving personal attention to the
manufacture of the Scales invented by them,
it is not surprising that they lead the world in
the service of weighing. Messrs. B. F. Crayton
g. Sons are the agents for Anderson County.

Death of Mr.. Richard .Wearn.

The Columbia papers chronicle the death of
Mr.. Richard Wearn, the well-known photog-
rapher Of that city, who committed suicide on
Friday morning last, by shooting himself
through the head, while laboring under
temporary fit of insanity. The circumstances
of. his death are truly mournful, and awake
the sympathies of large circle of friends
throughout the State for his deeply afflicted
family. Mr.. Wearn was resident of Ander-
son for several years when he was a young
man, and always maintained the respect and
confidence of our people. He was kind and
generous in his disposition, and possessed the
power of making friends innumerable wherever
he went. He was native of the Isle of Man,
and was about forty-fve years of age. Peace

The Complete illustrated Family Bible.

We are indebted to the "Queen City Publish
ing Company" Cincinnati, for a copy of their
splendid and complete Illustrated Family BIZ
ble, printed from clear, beautiful type and on
elegant paper, and bound in the handsomest
and most substantial manner. Wo cannot pre-
tend to express within due limits the exceeding
value and importance of the many excellent
features contained in the edition before US. Be-
sides the Old and New Testaments, Apocrypha,
Concordance, and Psalms of David in metre,
there is embraced an encyclopedia of Scriptural
knowledge most valuable to the student and
reader of the Sacred Word and much Of which
has been prepared especially for this edition.
Among the new and most striking features, we
will mention concise history of the Books OF
the Bible, which is prefaced with an introduce
tory history, showing the authenticity, inspira-
ton and preservation of the Holy Scriptures.
Interesting and important chapters on the uni
ty and mysteries of the Bible; an Index, CIV
ing an account of the most remarkable passages
recorded in the Old and New Testaments; a
new and comprehensive Pronouncing Diction-
ary; besides many other features of the great
est interest. It is illustrated with twenty full
page engravings, fourteen others nearly full
page, and almost four hundred smaller engray-
ings. An artistic and beautiful Family Regis
ter an improved style of Photograph Album
with spaces for sixteen pictures; an. unique
Marriage Certificate, and the Ten Command
ments illuminated, are likewise contained in
this volume. Every effort seems to have been
made by the publishers to insure the most COM
plete as we'll as the most profusely and beauti-
fully illustrated edition of the Book of Books
ever printed. The mechanical execution of the
work is superb and unsurpassed, while it is
claimed that the prices Of the various styles OF
binding are unequalled for cheapness by any
edition of the Bible now in the market. We
have only hinted at the chief and original fea-
lures of this edition., without attempting an
elaborate display Of its attractions, which must
be seen and examined to be fully appreciated.
This Bible is sold by subscription only, and
cannot be had except through the authorized
agents of the Queen City Publishing Co. Sub
scribers are not obliged to take it unless the
book corresponds in every particular with the
description.
Mr.: w. H. Smith is the regularly constituted
agent for Anderson County, and will canvass
the country for subscriptions. We take pleas
ure in recommending him to all persons in
want of Family Bible. His address Is Shal-
low Ford, S. c.

Carolina Male and Female Collegiate
Institute.

The second year of this institution, formerly
known as the Carolina High School, will begin
on Monday, End of February, with full corps
of experienced teachers, comprising ladies and
gentlemen of thorough qualifications and emil
nent attainments in their professions: Among
the additions to the Faculty, we have already
noted the engagement Of Rev. P. F. Stevens,
for many years connected with the Military
Academy in Charleston, whose reputation is
equal to- the, best educators in the State. An
other most valuable acquisition is that of Miss
Lizzie D. Lewis, lately of Albemarle Co., Va,
who is most highly recommended by Rev. DR..
Broaaas,' of Greenville, which is a sufficient
guarantee as to her fitness for the position.
Other changes and additions have been made,
and we may confidently predict still greater
success for this Institution, which has ALREADY
attained an enviable reputation among the
prominent institutions of learning in this Sec
tion. Prof. W. J. Ligon is the Chairman OF
the Faculty, and it is wholly unnecessary TO
add word of commendation for him, as the
people of this section are fully aware of his
capacity and long experience in the arduous
duties of the school-room. We can safely
affirm that the present arrangement offers supe-
rior Inducements for the thorough training Of
BOYS and girls, and firmly believe that the fu-
ture will justify the wisdom and propriety of
adopting the system, which is no longer an
experiment, of the ce-education of the sexes.
Any further information as to rates of tuition
and board, not contained in the advertisement
of the Institute, can be readily secured upon
application to Prof. Ligon, who will take pleas
ure in forwarding circulars with full particu-
lars - =.

Hon. Caleb: Cushing Nominated for Chief
Justice, .....


The country was taken by surprise the other
day when President Grant withdrew the nom
ination of Attorney: General Williams for Chief
Justice, as it had been understood that Grant
proposed to adhere to his choice, and force the
Senate to assume the responsibility of rejecting
Williams nomination. But greater surprise
awaited the country, when the nomination of
Hon. Caleb Cushing, who was so recently con-
6rmed as Minister to Spain, to be Chief Justice
of the United States, was received i'll the Senate.
The feeling awakened, however, was an intense
qualification and satisfaction at the new selec-
tion of the President. The nomination Of Mr..
Cushing was referred to the judiciary commit
tee, and reported upon favorably to the Senate.
q Mr.. Cushing was busily engaged in making
preparations for his departure to Spain, and
the nomination for Chief Justice was made
entirely without his knowledge. He is now 7S
years of age, vigorous in mind and body, and
eminently fitted by his legal attanments and
experience for the distinguished position of
Chief Justice. He has been identified with
almost every political party during his public
service of fifty years, and lately has been
looked upon as a sort of moderate Republican,
rather disposed to ignore partisan politics.
The Senate will doubtless confirm the appoint
uent, and thus end the much discussed ques-
ton as to Chase's successor.

DWELLING Burnt.

We regret to chronicle the total destruction
by fire of the residence of Capt. james L.
Barnes, of this County, on the Lowndes7ille
road, near the Abbeville line, which occurred
at an early hour on Saturday morning last. It
appears that the fire originated in the kitchen
part of the house, and had made such progress
when discovered that it was impossible to save
the building. Scarcely any of the furniture or el
wearing apparel of the family was rescued from
the Aames and it was with great difficulty that
the children of Capt. Barnes were saved from
an awful death, as the roof was falling in be-
fore they we're rescued from their perilous sit
uation.i The origin of the fire is supposed to
have been accidental and the total loss is esti-.
mated at 81 500, upon which there was no
insurance. The residence was commodious
and conveniently arranged, and we sincerely
sympathize with our excellent friend, whose
and kindness we have experienced.

MIR. EDITOR: We notice in your last issue
q communication from the Worthy Master OF
the Pendleton; Grange to the Patrons of Hus-
baadry OF. Anderson County, advocating the
policy of organizing Council of Granges' TO
be composed of the Master and Overseer OF
each subordinate Grange. AS Master of the
Slabtown Grange, permit me briefly to state
that the proposition made is believed TO be a
good one, and will no doubt, as Grange, meet
our hearty approval and concurrence. 1t may
not, however, be exactly in conformity with
the rules and regulations of the National
Grange and the State Grange, under whose
jurisdiction we are placed. But be this as it
may, that there be unanimity of action among
the members of subordinate Oranges, such
movement is certainly essential, and, in our
+opinion, eminently proper.
Merchants and physicians, professional men
and mechanics, of every kind, appreciate fully
the advantages -accruing from complete organi-
zation. Then let US, as farmers adhering at
the same time strictly to the intents and pur-
poses of our Order, see to it that at an early
day such council be organized, and that in it
there be union, concert, and singleness of pur-
pose !; that, if in snion there is strength, 20 in
this organization ends may be aimed at and
effects produced which, in the future, will re-
lieve the farmer from that industrial thraldom
to which he has been subjected in the past.
Let the proposition be submitted at once to
all the Oranges in the County, and day ap-
pointed by some member as best suited for the
first meeting of the Council.
