County Examiners.
At q recent meeting of the State Board OF
School Examiners, the following gentlemen were
appointed School Examiners of this County, in
connection with the School Commissioner Da-
vid Johnson, Jr. and r. r. Rawls.
The duties of the Boards of Examiners are
very important, being no less than the perfec-
tion of the Free School system.

Judge, Wallace.

Judge Wallace.
From the many decisions rendered by Judge
Wallace, and published in the Neus and Courier
since the close Of the last term of Charleston
Court, it is evident that he is not idle and en-
joying much rest during the present intermis-
sion. II isknown that number of very impor-
tant cases, involving large amounts of money,
much valuable property, and grave Questions Of
law, had been long pending in the Charleston
Court, awaiting the time when Judge in whose
ability and honor all parties interested could
place implicit confidence would be upon the
bench, and in Judge Wallace the people and Bar
of Charleston recognized these essential quail.
ties, consequently to him they referred those
cases. The Judge has spent but little idle time
since his returnSfrom the long and arduous
term OF that, Court Of which the many able
decisions he has rendered is proof Conclusive.

true that great many Of our Schools have been
taught byinefhcient teachers; but the reason was
this: when the white people were more needed
to teach for us than they nre now, there couE
be scarcely ono found who would teach fo,
US; and the most Of those who did teach were
unable to perform. their duties, and We had 10
employ teachers of our own color. mapv of
whom as twas said, were barely able 10 read tho
simplest sentence correctly. There has been a
timo when we were nearly destitute Of anv
schools and teachers. Then was the time VIII an

up Country Farmer"

UP country Farmer"
While We give place in our columns to the
views Of I'm "Up-Country Farmer upon the
validity of the State debt, we wish it to be un-
derstood that we do not endorse those views
Our correspondent appears to think that the
Whoie of the bonded debt of the State is owned
at the North, by northern people. In this we
known hei greatly mistaken. On the contrary,
weiearn from parties who have looked into the
matter carefully, that large proportion Of that
debt is owned by our own citizens, and no
inconsiderable part of that by widows and
orphans Of Confederate soldiers But it mat
ters not, in our opinion, to whom tho debt is
due, that does not impair the moral or legal OBJ
legation to pay it. When our correspondent
takes the sweeping position that the whole of
the State tdsbt contracted between 1868 and
1878, sh"uld>be repudiated, we think he will
find but few followers. In our opinion "Up
Country Farmer" at this time occupies many
very vulnerable positions, but we have neither
space nor inclination to enter into a full discus.

Look Well to the Orders.

MIR. 2. NJ. Cohen, on last Saturday, was VIC
timized to the tune Of about $40, by q colered
man who passed an order on him purporting to
have been written by Mr.. r. NJ. Robinson, one
Of the most responsible citizens of this County.
The order was pronounced a forgery by Mr..
Robinson, on Monday, but was so well executed
that even Mr.. r. had to look at it twice to sat
isfy himself that he had not written it in his sleep
The forger has not been caught, but most of the
goods obtained unisr the order have been re-
covered. Before the war, If o negro could
write he applied that accomplishment-gene-
rally with successful the sole purpose of forg-
ing passes for himself and friends, and it is
not surprising that SO many of them apply the
faculty in the same way now

The state Dsnk 'bilis,

Tho State Bank bills. s.t - W
We learn that Northern holders OF bills of the
Bank Of the State have appointed Agents in
every County and are sending them those bills
to be sold tax payers to pay their taxes with,
Mt variou5srice according to the purchasers
election, whether he will buy at the lowest
price and risk . lawsuit or give higher price
and the seller Han that risk. There is no doubt
that the sdgrepA Goarto the United States has
decided that the State OF South Carolina is re-
sp0nsibls for thett redemption, and bound to
take those notes ID taxes but we understand
some persons clair TN the County Treasurer
is bound to receive them for County taxes also,
and either have alrsady or will tender them for
their whole taxes, and refuse to pay until that
question is settled " the highest authority
1t seems to us that no man Of ordinary judg-
ment will put up such : claim against the Coun-
ty, if NE will think calmly upon it.
If We remember right The Court decided that
those bills should be received for State Taxes
only, and either expressly pr implicitly declared
them not valid tender I'd County or special
taxes.
Suppose, for instance, the Treasurer of Union
County received SIS, 200 in State Bank bills for
County Taxes, what would he do with them |?
The County Commissioners would not receive
them FROM hin. fort they would be as worthless
a. rags, for sPay1s county debts. The County
Treasurer does not pay county funds into the
State Treasury. The State has nothing to do
with the county funds, nor is 1t even responsible
for any loss the county may incur from the
Treasurer's receiving deprecated currency for
County Taxes. To whom, then, must he turn
over those Bank bills received for county Taxes
The County Commissioners are not authorized
to receive them and the State will have nothing
to do with them, for they were received for coun.
ty purposes, belong to the county, and the low
declares who shall receive and disburse the
county funds.
What an inextricabls dilemma tho County
officials would be in. And wouldn't there be O
few anathemas showered upon them by the i'm
pecunious creditors of the county.
No doubt many will take advantage of the
doubt and test the matter, for the sole purpose
Of securing q few months extension of time to
ray their taxes. But that would neither be
honorable, nor just to the welfare of the county.
If the Treasurer is compelled to receive those
Diiis Tor County purposes, instead of this Coun-
ty being out Of debt and the County taxes re.
duosd one-half next year, an increase Of past
Indebtedness and, consequently, an increase OF
taxes to pay it will be the result. Without some
Law instructing tho County treasurer how to
act in the premises, we can't see how he can
take the State Bank bills for County purpose.
and protect himself and bondsmen from harm;
and we all know that DR.. Thomas will do moth
lug outside the strict limo of law and honor.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

SrARvE the cow and she will starve
you. Feed liberal for liberal returns.
The juice and pulp of lemons, stirred
thick with white sugar. will relieve
hoarseness-beside being an agreeable
remedy.-Rmral New Yorker.
IHE best way to prevent apples from
rotting is TO put them in a warm, dry
cellar and let a family of fifteen chill
dren have free access to them every
day.
SIX average sized figs contain more
fattenlng matter than pint of cod liver
oil, and one don't have to be disinfect-
cd after eating them, either.
CELLARS should be cleansed early in
spring of all decaying vegetables and
uncleanly things. If neglected, they pol
lutte the house, faint the atmosphere
and engender disease.
EYEGLASSES and opera-glasses are
injured by wiping them with articles
which create an impcrceptible friction
and destroy the surface. The inside of
glove is the best thing to use, unless
you have bit OF channels.
DROP GINGER BREAD.-One cum mo-
lasses, half cup of buttor, half Il cup
OF warm water, two and a half cups of
Hour, one teaspOOnful soda, two tea
spoonfuls of ginger. Drop in a tin, and
after baking, cut apart.
IT is bad economy to have a poor,
scrub OF horse on ALARM that soon tires
out, when you can have game, fast
walking horse, that don't know what
it is to tire, and that can get over more
ground in day than scrub can get
over in two days.

The negro, about whose cabin YOU see

ness away, shuah." The Russian variety,
with white or light-colored seed, is soon
sidered the best. We have no doubt of
the sanitary value of the plant, and pre-
fer it to the Eucalyptus for many rea-
sons. The stalks abound in potash, the
leaves are eagerly eaten by horses and
cows. and the seeds by poultry, and it
is asserted that small quantity of sun
flower seed mixed with the food of
horse will impart fine gloss to his
hair, while it is a certain cure for

tivation of the sunflower many sections
afflicted with fevers and kindred COM
