Adger College will open on Thursday next
with students in oil the Glasses, and quite o
promisipg number of students altogether.
The terms of tuition ore low, and board has
been placed at the lowest rates. See adyer-
tisement.
The Female College, under tho presidency
OF DR.. Smeltzer, formerly President of New
borry College, will open on tho 18th of Sep,
TIMBER. Competent teachers havo been en-.
gagged aud tho College will opon under favo~
rabo circumstances. The advertisement in
another column will give all the necessary
information.
1t is gratifying to us to be able to mako
these announcements. 1t rarely occurs that
colleges, malo and female, are to be found in
the same place. Here, wherc we havo fine
climate and many other advantages, parents
and guardians may educate their children and
wards under circumstances more favorable,
we believe, than any other place in the State.

THE coFroN TAX.

A stron. effort will be made
in the next congress TO have
the tax uujustly and unconsti-
tutionally assessed and collect
ed on cotton, refunded to those
who paid it. In the present
temper of the two sections, it
would seem to be most oppor
tune time to press this claim in
behalf OF the South. Impover-
ished as the South was by the
results of the war, it was a most
Ubiquitous tax. Langui;bimg as
the South is from poor crops
and low prices, it would he a
boon to her cotton planting
people, If this tax, running
through four years, we believe,
should now be refunded to them.
This measure should be urged
on the attention OF congressman,
by the press OF the country.
The farmers, the parties to be
beneftted by the measure, are
not the class to form rings to
insure the restitution of that
which was unjustly taken from
them, and taken too at a time
when they were not in a con-
dition to bear the depletion,
without ruinous consequences
to their interests. Let the et-
fort at restitution be made. Its
return now would be beneficial
y felt by many of our impov-
erished farmers.
