THAT LETTER.

We send out to-day letter to all
our subscribers who are in arrears,
and we earnestly ask that every sub
scriber who gets one will at once re-
ply. If it is impossible to send the
money at once, and q delay OF four or
five days must be had to raise the
money, then please send US a postal
card, stating when yon can send the
money. If it IS impossible just now
to send all the money, then send as
much as possible, and let US know
when the remainder can and will be
sent. We cannot continue sending
the paper indiscriminately to any one
whose name may be on the list. We
must conduct our business IN more
buiness-l;ke way. We will send the
paper to any one, for the cash in ad-
vance; or we will send the paper for
reasonable length of time to any relia-
BILE person: but we must draw the line
somewhere, and we cannot continue
sending the paper to any one who
owes for IS long as a year, uisiess he
makes us a remittance for at least a
part of what he is now due.
I'VE have sent very polite letter.
containing not one word calculated to
give offence, and we hope that we Will
be treated as courteously. We desire
to retain every subscriber we now
have, but in such large number there
viii necessarily be found few dead
beats who never pay anything they
can avoid. We hope this latter class
IS small, but our former newspaper
experience teaches us to be watchfuL.
The amount of subscription is small
only $1.50 year, and any one who
cares to read his county paper, can
pay that small sum.
We again ask attention to that letter
we send ont.

The internal tax on tobacco will
doubtless go, and there ought to be a
reduction on the sugar tax. But we
can see no reason in the world why
the tax on liquors should be repealed
and the government lose S56,0OO,OO0
thereby. What article can bear such
tax better than whiskey, and who
has to pay it except those who con-
sumo it? The same may be said Of
the tax on tobacco It is absurd to
say that the repeal fthat tax is going
to benefit the planters, FOR the corsum.

bacco sold just as high when the tax

when the tax is only S cents. Ii the

tobacco will sell no higher than it
does now, and will depend altogether
upon the state Of the market. But
the tobacco tax, nevertheless, is on
one of the agricultural products OF
the country, aud consequently there
are strong reasons why it should be
repealed, with loss to the govern
ment of $l7,G00,O00. But if we
give up the whiskey tax and the en-
tire sugar tax then any modification
of the tariff on articles Of consump-

Dirty ELECTION WORK IN MARION.

The town of Marion has been great
" excited over a recent town election
The managers of the election were c.
c. Evans, Jr., E B. Wheeler, and ?.
A. Wilcox. At the close of the cleo
ton, G. d. Evans proposed that he
count the ballots and that the other
two managers should keep tally. At
ter counting the ballots they announc-
ed the result, and it appeared that OF
the four wardens elected, ". j. Nc
Keran had been elected in place OF the
regular nominee, ". S. Foxworth, by
vote of II to "a. Not being content
with the election, P. A. Wilcox in
company with E. T. Wilcox, that night
recounted the votes, and found that
WI. McKerall had received only 43
votes and that ". S. Foxworth had
received 81. He made affidavit to
this efsct, and Foxworth contested
the election. Eminent counsel was
employed on both sides, and numer-
Gus afidavits were fled. There had
been 129 votes in al cast, and of these
votes 112 were identified by the par
ties who voted them showing,
conclusively that they were the
original ballots that had been voted
at the election. OF the l29 voters,
eighty-two, seventy of whom were
white, swore they voted for Foxworth;
and seYenty-four swore they did not
vote for McKerall.
The Marion Pee Dee lnder says:
mo further testimony was offered.
No effort was made to account for the
difference IN the vote as declared BY
the managers and by the Council. No
one was charged with changing the
ballots af er they were count. ID by the
managers and deposited in the box.
Nh. Mckeral's lawyers expressly ex-
onerated Messrs. P. A. and E. T. Viii
cox from any suspicion of making any
change in the ballots while they were
in their possession. Not so much as
the shade of shadow of suspicion
attached to these young gentlemen
whose honor and integrity are unim-
peachable.
arguments were made by J. n.
johnson and ". J. Montgomery for
Mr. Foxworth, and by F. D. Bryant
and Gen. ". W. Harllee for McKerall.
The arguments were concluded about
half past ten O'Clock Friday night, and
the Council Immediately retired to
make their decision. In a few min
utes. they returned and the Intendant
announced that without any preju-
dice in the case, upon the evidence
given, they had decided that Mr.. Fox
worth had been elected and was en-
titled to be sworn in as 8 Warden OF
the town of Marion. On motion Of J.
NJ. johnson, Esq, Mr.. Foxworth was
sworn in and the great contest was
over, the suspense ended"
Taking things just as they appear
nboye, we cannot conceive of adirtier
and more .disgraceful piece of work
than that election. We feel proud
that the town of Marion has had the
manhood to unearth such afraud, and
to wash the stain from Ler fair name,
But the damned spot viii not out till
the pe,jured party is brought to JUS
tice.

There was no doubt a good reason
for the practice OF the Hebrews to
read and write from right to left We
nave often speculated and inquired
about IL and while we could not learn
or discover anything very tangible In
regard to 1t. we are quite convinced
that the most pertinent reason lies IN
the fact that our vision from right to
left Is much clearer and stronger than
It is from left to right. Naturally, so
we are informed. there Is no difference
m nerves or in the optic arrangement
OF the human eye between the right
eye or left eve. yet our own inquiries
and observations show how clearly
that we are all. or most all disposed.
when we take an article OF merchan-
disc. OF picture, or anything else Tor
examination into our hands to look at
it from right to left, and not from left
10 right. Since we have endeavored
to fathom this question. we can SEQ
quite an advantage to the eye by read.
ing from right to left II we read from
left to right the parts read are yet
continually before us; while. II reading
from right to left the parts read are
then beyond our sight and the parts
to be read are unobstructed In view.
Now, when we write from left to
right the line we are writing Is rather
of delnsion to the eye, while II we
write from right to left nothing is inn
mediately in front of our vision but
clear space. Even the pen and its
shadow cease to exercise n less disturb
ing effect from right TO left. while
from left to right much annoyance Is
experienced by men who have much
writing TO do. Our observation shows
US that unawares, people use their
eyes from right to left whenever or
wherever they 90 into close cxamina-
