Our County Finances.

The following statement, which j. L.
Tribble, Esq, the efficient Clerk Of the
County Commissioners, has given us, will
show the situation Of our County finances
as they stand at present, giving the amount
of money collected for ordinary County
purposes and for building the line fences
for the fiscal year 1878, together with the
aggregate disbursements made by the Coun-
ty Commissioners for the same period:
Amount collected as shown by the
Treas. report Jan. 1, 1879.......SlS, ,8S7.39
Amount disbursed by the COM
Claims against the County, unpaid, 1,24e.6s
Amount of taxes still due the Coun-
ty and uncollected.. .......... S29.5Z
OF this sum $791.17 has been rendered in
bills of the bank of the State. II this ten
der il withdrawn, and the taxes paid up. it
will leave the County with debt Of some
thing less than five hundred dollars.
This is not quite as good as it was e1pec-
ted it would be at one time, but considering
the unusual and heavy expenses of the
County for the past year in the building OF
the line fences and other matters outside Of
the usual expenses, the people have cause
to congratulate themselves. The result is
highly creditablc to the management of the
outgoing Board, and we have no doubt that
under the management of the new Board.
which will be prudent and economical, the
County will, at the end of the year, be en-
tirely free of debt, with a fair prospect Of
reducing the rate of County taxation some
what for next year.

Master.

Governor Simpson has, upon the recon-
mendation of the entire Anderson delega-
ton in the General Assembly, appointed
General w. W. Humphreys Master for this
County, under the act Of the last General
Assembly which created the Office. The
duties of the office are important, and its
creation will be found very great assistant
to persons having business on the Equity
side of the Circuit Court, as twill facilitate
the preparation and final disposition Of
causes, thus effecting great saving in the
time and expense obligation. The Master
is general referee in all Equity causes, and
has power to grant orders for publications
of summons, appoint guardians ad Item,
take testimony before the meeting Of the
Court, and attend to such matters as are
necessary for the preparation of causes for
final disposition. Under the decision of the
Supreme Court, which requires all cases Of
partition to he carried through the Circuit
Court, it would have been very troublesome
to look up q Circuit Judge every time o pre-
lininary order was desired, and the ap-
pointment of Master obviates this difficulty,
and by saving the time and expense Of
counsel in going to Circuit Judge on all
such questions will be found practically to
save litigants considerable expense. Gen.
Humphreys is thoroughly qualified and
fitted for the position, and his appointment
will give general satisfaction to the County.

A Good Example.

It is not oiten that man in this day and
time is as fortunate in having good and
generous neighbors as surround Mr.. W. D.
Hatton, of the Corner township. On
Christmas day, some children who were
shooting fire crackers in his yard thought
lessly threw pack Of burning crackers
upon the roof of his dwelling, which at
once ignited the dry shingles, and before
ladder could be secured by which the roof
could be reached, the flames had gotten too
great headway to be extinguished, and
his house, together with considerable
amount of his household furniture, was
consequently destroyed. His neighbors,
hearing of his misfortune, at once collected
at Mt. Hatton's and, in their sympathy and
generosity, went to work to erect him an
other residence, and in week or ten days
had it completed-almost, if not quite, as
good as the one destroyed. And this was
not all. While the house was being erected
by some, others were engaged in soliciting
donations with which to replace the furni-
ture. etc., which was destroyed with the
building, to which nearly every one respon-
ded. This was indeed commendable act
on the part of the citizens of that neighbor-
hood, who have always been noted for their
hospitality and liberality.

Tho snipes Homicide.

Coroner Herrick continued the inquest
held over the dead body Of Mr.. Drury
Snipes, who was run over and killed on
Saleday, and from information received last
week summoned Mr.. Isaac McLain, an old
gentleman about sixty years of age, who
lives about five miles west OF Anderson, and
his son to appear before the inquest. They
came on Friday, and Mr.. McLain denied in
his first statement any knowledge of the
killing whatever, and his son likewise de-
MED any knowledge of it, but their state
ments were contradictory. In the afternoon,
however, Mr.. McLain withdrew his former
statement, and admitted that he was the
man who ran over Mr.. Snipes, and stated
that he had tried to conceal it from fear.
The jury then gave as their verdict that Mr..
Snipes came to his death by the criminal
carelessness of Mr.. McLain. He was then
bailed in the sum of FIVE hundred dollars to
appear for trial. The affair is generally
regretted, as Mr.. McLain is quiet and in
dustrious man when sober. He will be
represented by Messrs. Orr & Tribble as
counsel upon the trial.

The election for municipal officers in the

Col n WYATT Aiken.

Our readers WILL enjoy the article from
this able gentleman v,hich appears in an
other column. In our remarks about the
debt due South Carolina by the United
States, we did not mean to withhold from
our Representatives any credit due them,
for we knew they would do what was best
for the interests of the State and Union ON
this as they do on oil other questions. We
are glad, however, that we published it. as
Col. Aiken's letter has been secured there
by. The people of Anderson County are
always pleased to read his articles. Our
State is at present verJ ably aud efficiently
represented in Congress by Our Democratic
members. and there gentlemen will receive
valuable co-laborers after the 4th Of March
in the place of the Radicals, who have been
completely beaten out.
