The mansion is made OF wood, CUT IN

are the servants houses, butler's pantry
and gardeners house. The mansion has
two stories besides attic rooms. The
rooms are small compared with modern

long fronts the river. The room in
which Washington died is on the second
floor. The bedsteai on which he died
has round, rather slender, high posts
with plain stats around the top. The
counterpains on the bed are white, so are
the counterpanes on all the beds in the
house. The furniture in the room seems
to be walnut and consists of secretary

When Carpin, in Greenyille, commenced
to make wine without the use Of sugar
some people said he was crazy.
According to Husmann, the renowned
Californian, something less than twenty.
FIVE per cent. of saccharine matter Sugar
is all that is needed to.produce sufficient
alcohol in wine. I have learned here
that even twenty per cent. of sugar is all
that is considered necessary in good
mild wine. Now, on the other hand
what does the pure juice of say the Con-
cord grape contaiu9 Our Greenville
Frenchman's test by the use of the must
scale shows over thirty per cent. of sugar.
Why, then, use sugar to make wine,
when you have already too much sugar
in your must (grape juice unfermented.) J
Here comes in the question of gallizing,
which means nothing more nor less than
the addition of such proportions of sugar
and water as will make what is termed
by Husmann o normal must.
1t needs no nice or scientific details to
explain that the proportion Of alcohol in
wine is exactly in proportion to the
amount of sugar contained in the pure
unfermented juice of the grape used to
make the wine, and the percentage OF
sugar so contained in the juice can be
accurately ascertained by the use of the
Balling must scale, directions for the use
of which accompany each instrument.
Very few of the best wines Of Carolina
or France contain more than eight or ten
per cent. of alcoholic stimulant. Ninety
to nine Two per cent. of tl.cir constituent
elements arc, therefore, tho acids and
nutritious parts of the fruit itself in a
perfect state of prcservation.-C Conegon-
elencc NeWs and Courier.

ONE Of the greatest losses to the rev
enues of the State is the item Of poll tax.
Fully $4,000 annually is lost by the non
payment Of the tax. If our legislators
are unwilling to enact a law making a
poll tax receipt necessary for the exercise
of the right of ballot, let tbep, enact a
law holding all delmquents indebted to
the State for labor to the value of one dol
Lar for each year Of Delinquency. This
labor to be performed in the counties,
where the delinquent resides. upon pub
lie roads, etc, Ficksbmg Herald.
The legislature will hardly pass
a law sufficiently magical to eK.
tract blood from a turnip. 1t is
just about as easy to enforce the
payment of one debt as another.
If, on the other hand, taxpayers
should be permitted to elect be-
tween payiHg money or labor tor
their polls that $4,000 delin.
quency would very sOon swell i'm
menSely, which would have to DO
made up by other taxation, while
the counties would be run to very
heavy expense having their roads
worked to death. Our roads need
more work, but each case should
rest upon It's own merit.

HORN ISLAND PASS TO BE REsUR-
VEYED

In reply to n petition recently
gotten up and forwarded to Wash

asking the President TO order Il re
survey of Horn Island Pass, Con
gresham Judge II. S. Van Eaton
writes, enclosing a letter from Su.

Survey Department, addressed to
himself, dated the 9th inst, in
which Supt. Thorn says that the

MED by Senator j.. q. George, zeal
Ously pressed the matter until they
obtained the order from Secretary
Manning for immediate investiga-
ton, which resulted in the order

are entitled to the thanks Of this
