Mr.. EDlToR There seems to be o multipli.
city of correspondents from this section Of the
County, but will nevertheless keep my prom
Use, and let you hear from me occasionally.
Farming interests are now looked after with
becoming vigilance, and the outlook is promis.
ing. Wheat crops are looking we'll, but thin
in many places and the acreage too small. Cot
ton planting is now about over. and nearly a
stand Is up in some places. The fruit crop will
be very light-not so much in this community
as has been prospectively reported by some OF
your correspondents from other localities. 1t
is pleasing to see the energy with which work
is being pushed among us.
Mr.. N. G. Littlejohn's School at Asbury Sem.
mary is in fourishing condition; and with
Mr.. Littlejohn at tho head of affairs there, no
parent need be afraid to send his son to that in
stitution. Board and tuition both are cheap
and the school is in healthy locality. With
such inducements, in these financially distress
ing times, it will certainly be sustained. Doubt.
less the Principal will give us one of his annual
entertainments this year again, anj VIC hope to
sec the Editor of the Times with us on that occa-
sion. OCCASIONAL.

How to Secure New Postal Routes.

How to Secure New Postal Routes.
The Washington correspondent of the Neey1
and Courier, who is always on the alert to find
something Of practical advantage to the people
of this State, gives us the following foRpnla Of
proceeding to Obtain new postsi route ss
Petitions are being constantly srensly Ehcre
from diffseent points. of the StatsAskingf for the
establishment of new postal roufSp Come Of
these petitions have yards OF fsignatnres attached,
obtained doubtless with greal labQr ind ,troo6lSs
asd yet they are altogether unns6sssaxt II rs
n very cnsy matterto have q new sro(fee estab-s
lished between any two points whenever the me-
cessties Of the community authorize and re-
quire 1t. What should be done is briefly indi-
Gated rs follow: Let some responsible person
or persons draw up petition, addressed to one
of our Congressmen asking that such and such
q route be opened. Name the two points or pla-
ces at the respective ends of the line. Also, how
many postofhces arc needed or desired on the
route, the distance Of each such Office (if any)
from the one Immediately before and the one in.
mediately behind it. Give the names of tho pro-
posed post masters at all the points, and the name
of each proposed postofice. Ifthe new route lies
between two towns which have postofices already
established get the approval and signatures Of
the postmaster ut each such postoffice. Nothing
more is then necessary to be done besides for
warding the petition 30 prepared to one of the
representatives. The postofice department will
investigate the matter promptly, and will estab.
the desired route at once if 1t is possible to
do So. II Is not necessary TO obtain any num-
Der OF signatures tothe petition. they never

DISTRIBUTION OF SEEDS.
The same writer gives the following informa-
tion about Government Seeds, SC.
The fact has recently been made public that
Congress has just increased the appropriation
for the purchase an6 distribution of seeds to o
very large amount, and our representatives re-
ceive pecks Of letters every day from persons at
home who desire to obtain some of them. am
requested to state that the appropriation will not
take effect until the first of July, and there will,
even then be no seed obtainnble before next fall.
The last supply was exhausted in April.

The colnmbis 1sgistsr.
We have besn favored the past week with O
very pleasant visit from Mr.. Henry Eubank,
the talented eofrespondent and agent Of the
Columbia @ssfer. Mr.. Eubank is now doing

Of this State pOssess, In poit Of health, climate,

and Mechanical pursuits. Mr.. Eubank is one
of the best writer's in the State, and the only
fault (f) we find with him is his unpopular style
of utterly ignoring all Sensational and high col.
ored descriptions of "places and things" he
writes about. He seeks the truth, and whatever
he writes can safely be received as nothing but
truth.
The Register is becoming moro popular, as
it becomes more valuable to the people, every
day, and we are confident the interesting letters
of Mr.. Eubank, from every point he may visit,
will make it still more interesting and accepta.
BILE. The leading paper Of the State should be
located at Columbia, and We can safely assure
the people of this section that if they will give
tho Register their support, It's proprietors,
Messrs. Caivo s. Patton. will take pride in max.
ing it just the journal they demand.

To "Citizen."

To Citizen"
We think your remarks upon the action Of the
County Commissioners ore we'll founded. We
cannot see why they did not meet the Treasurer
last Monday week, or assemble without him
soon thereafter, and pay out the money now
lying idle in the Bank, while so many creaitors
Of the County, to our knowledge, arc sadly in
want of their money.
We can give you no reason why the report Of
the old Board has not been published, except
that the Clerk of the Board is waiting on the
Treasurer and the Treasurer is waiting on the
Clerk. 1t is very netural for you to suppose
that the Report should bs msde "independsnt
Of the Treasurer's b:oks, and solely from the
books Of the County Commissioners" You are
not the only one who have made similar inqui-
ries Of us, and had you not written so strong
upon the matter, we should have published
your communication. We will give you the
amount contracted for by the Commissioners, to
build the fence on the County lines, under the
fence law, as soon as we can get it from the
Board-we hope next week.

lers will be interested TO know that the secret
service has come into possession of most re-
markable counterfeit. 1t is o counterfeit $50
United States legal tender note, and is calcua-
ted to deceive even persons accustomed to hand
ling notes Of that denomination. What makes
it the more remarkable is the fact the work on
the note was executed with pen and ink. All
tho intricate figures and curves, all the heads,
the SEAL the fine engraving work. and even tho
fibre in the paper. are almost perfectly counter.
feited by pen and ink. The signature Of John
Allison, formerly registrar of the Treasury, is
almost exact, while that Of John C. New. form

and face, lisa wonderful piece Of pen-work. The
bill was detected at the sub-treasury in New

Congress and the Veto.


From what we can gather from the Washing.
ton reports, we think the democratic members
Of the Senate and House will decide first, to pass
aseparate bill repeating the highly Objectionable
clauses Of the election laws and present it to
the President for his sanction or veto then
pass the appropriation bills. If the President
vetoes the first, 1t will at once expose the ex-
treme partisep spirit that actuated him in veto
ing the former bill, while by passing the appro-
priation bills without those repeating clauses,
the democrats will give the lie to the Radical
campaign cry that they intended to starve the
government into acquiescence. That's the way
it looks now, but we ore willing to let our Rep
resentatives work out the problem according to
their own rule, believing that from their stand
point they know, better than any ne.horse
Editor can, what is best for the Country and
the democratic party.
