The Columbia Register.
This most excellent and popular paper has
passed into the hands of Messrs. Jas. A. Hoyt,
III. N. Emlyn and w. b. Mcdaniel
The Register has become, under the able pen
of the lamented G. p. Pelham and the former
owners, the most acceptable Daily in the State,
and from our personal knowledge of the present
Proprietors, we are confident will maintain its
popularity.
Col. Hoyt, who go ably conducted the Edito-
rial department of the Anderson Infeliigencer,
for many years, is now the Editor of the Regis
ter He is q vigorous writer, worthy and in
dustrious gentleman and sound TO the core upon
tie political reformation of the State govern
ment. The paper could not have fallen into bet
ter hands, for its own and the States welfare.
Our most sincere wish is that it will receive tho
support of the people of the whole State, and
that its propretors will reach TO the highest notch
of their hopes and deserving.
W. know the men well and know none who
more highly deserve the confidence of the pco-
pie. We bespeak for them the full support of
Union County.
|stsQeSA 0ood News for Tax Payers The Tax
bill now before the Legislature levies only fire
and one-tenh mills, for State purposes and three
mills for County purposes. We arc not informed
whether the 10 per cent already paid TO the
Hampton government will be credited to the tax
payers on the five mill levy. The aggregate
amount of the levy for State purposes as provid
ed by the BILL including $3.50 900 for free schools
and exclusive of interest on the public debt
which is now under invesigation-is S4S6375.
That is a practical and gratifying evidence that
the democratic government intends to redeem
the promise made to the people during the cam
paign that it would rctrench the expenses and
reform the government Of the State.
Give tho Hampton government little time
and uphold the Governors hands, and the resto-
ration of the State TO en- honest honorable and
economical government is as certain as that tho
sun will shine again.
a letter from Columbia, received stree the
above was put in type, informs us that the ten
per cent. already paid will be deducted from the
five mill tax.
