Deputy United States Marshall, VIM.
Smith, in pursuance of instructions from
headquarters proceeded to Kingman county
last week to execute some papers upon the
Commissioners of that county looking to the
payne Of certain interest money due on
bonds issued by that county, and now held by
certain inflated eastern capitalists. For two
mortal days Bill wandered oyer the dreary
and uninhabited wastes of the once populsus
and flourishing municipality of Kingman, in
the vain endcayer to find an inhabitant upon
which to servo his process. Late one evening
he struck the primitive domicile of an adven-
turcus rooster who said be had been in the
county Icing enough to vote. but as yet had
found none OF his neighbors. He was just the
man, and the meat that our United States
Marshall wss IN pursuit of and he forthwith
pulled ,his papers and proceeded to read.
One can better imagine than describe the
feelings of that poor, lone settler, out there
upon the confines of that eternal solitude
when informed that he was held for the en-
tire indebtedness of the said Kinginan county,
which amounted to about 100000 in bonds be-
sides interest. The afris hted prospector ac-
knowledred that he had . good claim and
some $500 in team and property and that he
would gladly give up half Of that for twenty
four hours time in which TO fee the impend7
ing doom. Bill says the next time Tough

The Board of County Commission.
ers were in session Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week, auditing
claims and finishing up their work
for the past fiscal year. Their ex.
penditures have exceeded the three
mi lis tax about three hundred dollars.
If there had been three terms of court
during the year, instead of one, the
dificit would have been near TIVE
thousand dollars. The ordinary and
necessary expenses ot-the County can
hardly be betrayed on a three mills
tax with only one court year. We
have advocated only one term OF
court year for this County, on tie
grounds of economy, and are glad to
know the tax payers are unanimously
with us.

PICKENS @. H., S. O.:

Public Meeting.

An informal meeting of citizens wa
held in the Court House on last Mon
day for tho purpose of hearing q res
port of tho County Commissioners,
and to consider tho propriety of in
structing them to petition the General
Assembly for authority to lovy tax
sufficient to pay off all tho past indebt>
edness of the County in ono install
ment.
1t will he seen from tho report of
the Commissioners submitted to the
meeting, that the past Indebtedness of
tho County amounts to $9,778.43, and
it will require tax of 63 mills to pay
it of. This is an honest, legitimate
debt against the County, and must be
provided for; but whether it is wise
and proper to undertake to pay it ali
Mt ono time, or divide it into different
installments, is question that we
think very properly belongs to tho
taxspayers of the County, and com
mend the course of the Commissioners
in referring it to them. The meeting
on Monday last, being an informal
one, very properly deferred the con-
sideration of this important matter
until a general meeting of the tax.
payers of the County could be held,
and designated Saturday the 18th
instant for that purpose. 1t is a ques-
tion of vital interest to evory tax
payer in the County, and ono that
should engage their earnest and
prompt attention. We have convors-
cd with some of the largest tax payers
In the County on this subject, and
they are nearly unanimously in favor
OF levying sufficient tax to wipo tho
debt out at once. Somo say they arc
willing, and had rathor pay it all at
one time, but fear that it, might be
oppressive to the poerer class Of tax
payers who might fail to raise tho
moneX<t0 mcet the demand mado on
-ehem. Those who favor paying tho
whole indebtedness at one time, say
that it is duo tho creditors of the
County, that thoy should have their
money without waiting any longor,
and in the event that the suits on the
Air Limo Railroad bonds, now pond
ing in the United States Court, should
go against the County, and judgments
be obtained, we will be in better
condition to meet thcm, and make
provisions for their payment Should
the County gain the suit, thon we
would have n cloan balance shoet, and
be mono tho worse off. This is an
important question to tho taxpayers
of tho County. 1t directly concerns
them, and they should consider tho
question fairly and dispassonately,
and take such steps as will most lkoly
result to their interest collectively.
Wo would urge upon every taxpayer
in the County tho importance of
prompt and general attendance of the
meeting on Saturday, the 18th inst.

Columbia, S. c., Oct. 25, 1875.

Columbia, S. O., Oct. rs, 1875.
To tho pooplo OF South Carolina.
On the 4th, day of July next, the first
contury of our national lifo will be
completed, and the evont will be
marked by centennial celebration
and exhibition in the city of PhiIadel-
phia. tt is now clear that tho occae
sion will be observed in manner
commensurate with its significance to
this nation and to the world. If
among the many communities com.
prising our nation there arc any
which have stronger reasons than
othors for patriotic interest in that
occasion, they arc tho original "Thir-
teen" States which joined in tho de-
claratIon of independence. South
Carolina was not behind the foremost
in tho great events of 1776. Her
right and duty to join in our nations
centennial celebration cannot be dig
puted,
Up to tho present time, almost
nothing has been dono in this State
towards dscharging the duties which
this event imposes. The causes of
this delay neod not be discussed.
No causes arc sufficient longer to
excuse South Carolina from this duty.
The Central Centennial Commission
at Philadelphia havo invited tho
several States to appoint such boards
or committees as thoy may judge nc,
cossary for tho promotion of tho OBJ
joct Of tho centennial celebration in
their respective States. In compi-
ance with this invitation, l have this
day appointed tho following citizens
Of this State rs State Board of Cen
tennial Commissioners, to have in
charge tho pcrfccting of such arrangc>
ments as they may adopt for promot-
ing and securing tho proper reprcson-
tatlon of South Carolina, her resourc-
es, history and industrio os, at the cole
bration on July 4th, 1876:

ben Tomlinson, of Charleston; Col. G.
W. Dudley, of BcnnottsviIle; Prof. f.
S. Holmes, of Charleston; Hon. d. r.
Duncan, of Spartanburg.
This board will have full power to
mako such organization Of tho State
as thoy may doom most effective.
respectfully suggest that n mooting Of
the board be hold at the earliest prac>
ticablo day, with a-IioW to arrange
for such local, county and city organ
lzatlehs as may be advisable; and to
this end | have requested Prof. f. S.
Holmes, Of fCharlcston to communicate
with tho other members Of The CONS
mission, and to fix timo and place
for such meeting. limo presses, and
the field should at onco be surveyed
and tho plans perfected, in order that
the General Assembly may be mcmo>
rializcd for such aid as may be ncod-
cd.
l most earnestly invoke tho cordial
co operation Of all tho pooplo of the
State in tho groat work of securing
for South Carolina an honorable rep
rcsontation on tho occasion which
will commemorate the completion of
the first century of our national life.
