A dispatch from Hampton G. ". to the
Atlanta Cbnstitution, dated February 8, says
"Rev. Sam Jones arrived yesterday and
preached last night to large congregation
at the nj. L. church. People Aocked in
from the country to hear him-some COM
ing O distance of six or seven miles. He
will remain several days and seems hopeful
OF 'season of refreshing" DR.. Jones is
one of the ablest ministers in the South,
and wherever he goes is much admired for
his eloquence and power.
There were great many people in town
| on Monday, and from IL III. to S D. M.
things were particularly lively. The day
was most favorable to q free use of ardent
| spirits and the amount of drunkenness
was distressing to behold. Taking every.
| thing into consideration, however, the or.
der of the day was very good, the only
thing occurring to create any excitement
of consequence being the effort of two
young men to resist arrest by the police.
Out of the two or three thousand people in
town only seven or eight were calaboosed.
A Mr.. Kidd. of Oglethorpe c.unty, Ca,
sold out his possessions in thnt county re-
| Gently and moved to Texas, but lie was SO
disappointed in the country that he at once
came back to his old home in Georgia,
where ho expects to remain contentedly
the remainder of his life. Thuse who are
thinking of emigrating from Anderson
| county to Texas, or any other section of
the Union, are admonished to profit by
this mans experience by remaining where
they are. There Is no better section Of
| country on the continent than Anderson
county, when everything is taken into con.
sideration.
We are indebted to the Hon. Walter nj.
Gibson, OF Lahina, Sandwich Islands, for O.
number of copies of the Commercial Adver-
fi'cr, the official organ of the Hawaiian
government, published at Honolulu, from
which we learn that His Majesty King
Kalakaua has departed his kingdom On O.
pleasure voyage around the world, leaving
the reins of government during his absence
in the hoNds of his sister, Her Royal High
ness the Princess Iiliuckalania, hciress to
the Crown. The United States is on the
programme of King Kalakaua's voyage.
The total amount of property returned
for taxation i'll the town is $s3,,3O9 of
which $4l4,725 is real and $416, ,5s4 personal.
Two hundred and forty-cight persons have
returned for street duty, against 249 for last
year. The amount Of taxes that will be
| raised this year OH the levy of II mills will
be between $1,000 and $780, besides the
street tax of about $500. The amount re-
turned last year for taxation was S76I ,O45
of which $357,5 $50 was real and SaO3, ,465
personal, showing an increase in the value
Of real estate for the past year of 357, las
and in personal property of 913,119.
One of our merchants the other evening
detected negro man with piece of meat
he had stolen from his store. and gave him
| his choice between going TO Jail and taking
a whipping. The thief preferred the whip
ping and the merchant accordingly admin
istered 1t in the best manner he knew how.
and to the entire satisfaction of all con-
cerned, the thief not excepted. This is the
third or fourth case of the kind that has
occurred in this place within the past
twelve months, from which it seems that
the petty thieves themselves would be ac-
commodnted by the rc-cnactment Of the
old ante-bellum whipping post law.
During the past week there has been an
almost deadlock ut Columbia in the ship
mcnt of freights to the up.country from
Charleston, i,y the G. & G. r. r., and con-
siderable complaint from merchants has
been made in consequence. The block has
been caused by the failure of the wood
supply of the Greenvillc Road, extremely
bad weather of the last two or three weeks
and the delay in the receipt of cargo OF
coal9 for use in the freight engines of the
road, which have generally been converted
into coal burners. at one time there were
seventy loaded cars ut Columbia awaiting
transportation, but break has been made,
and the authorities are sending forward the
freight with all possible dispatch.
The stock law goes into effect in that por-
ton of Oconee county lying south of the
Air Line Railroad on the lst of March, and
as might have been expected there is q good
deal OF dissatisfaction in that section in
consequence, and some of thv disgruntled
citizens huye employed counsel to resist it's
enforcement by legal process. The Wal.
halla Courier of last week contains an ex.
cellent article on the subject, directed main
ly to the opposition party, advising them
to discontinue their opposition and to qui-
city submit to the change, as there is little
hope of success for their efforts. The Tu-
rier's advice is good, and in less than twelve
! months those who are making 90 mucl. fuss
about the change will be its strongest friends
or we will be surprised.
