To The Editor Of the A6beville Medium ::
What about the reunion OF our. old
regiment this summers Can you give us
any information s.to when it will take
place, and what is To- osbe done. l have
heard quite number OF the survivors
say that they would like to attend the
next reunion if they could find out when
It would be. There was meeting held
at Sandy Springs last August. No notice
was given in time in our county press,
consequently very few from Cos. B and
g attended the meeting. Il think the
Survivors Association should be kept up,
and have annual reunions. It's certainly
q pleasure to me to meet my old COM
rades whether mutual or not, mine ls
none the less so. I hope to meet quite
. number at the next reunion. hat
saw you Cos. B and G9 Let ius tnrn ont
in force and meet with the companies .of
Anderson, Oconee and Pickens and 70.
H of Marion county also.
Could we not get up an excursion 10
Richmond this summer9 If We could
make up party of fifty or one hundred
men, no doubt cheap excursion rates
could be secured. Many would like to
revisit some of the b:.ttle6elds again,
when there Sis not much danger to life
and limb Around Richmond would be
more healthy than 1862, 1864 and 1865.
Gettysbure will have a rousing time
this week. I wish I was there. i feel
reconstructed enough to meet the boys in
blue without getting very mad.

High Taxes.

Mr.. EDITOR: This appears 10 be
fruitful year for this fruitful theme.
Except in the matter of salaries, com.
pared with North Carolina and Georgia,
we have seen but little more than broad
assertions that our State government is
.extravagant and our taxes too high.
Some have gone so far as to charge our
Governor with being largely responsible,
and have named ft successors to remedy
the evil. An examination Of the matter
might lead to different conclusion. To
reach it let us take up the Appropriation
Act Of the last General Assembly and
strike out every dollar which appears too
much then add such items as appear to
have been improperly omitted, including
such amount as should go to separate
Agricultural College or, if you please,
Clemson College, and a short calculation
will show just how. many mills our taxes
] should be. We can never root out the
evil by general charges Of extravagance
and waste. We must show just where
the leaks are. We must look to the
General Assembly. It is hoped that the
candidates will cease their general char
ges and make them specific. If salaries
are too high, say how much. They can
apply il to those hereafter elected. If
too poor to pension soldiers and widows,
strike it out. If the Militia should board
themselves and serve for nothing, say SO.
And so Of the educational institutions
and the rest. The simplest rule Of
arithmetic willsettleit. This lies at the
doors of our Legislators. Certainly not
to, the Governor, whose oath requires him
to faithfully execute the laws which they
enact.
Onr candidates are all in favor of re-
trenchment aud low taxes. Now, just
where they will retrench and where they
will reform is the vital question. in.

The immigration into the United
States for the fiscal year ending June 30
exceeded that of the previous year by
$50, 900 persons. More than $50, 1000 peo.
ple were received from foreign lands and
given homes and employment, mostly
In the thinly settled sections of the West
and Northwest. This number has never
been exceeded save in the years 1881,
1882 and 1883, and the indications are
that the rate ofincrease will be continued
throughout the coming year. There is
no sign of diminution in the flow.

have not been successful with it, but we
are confident it is because they failed IN

present will mention only few. DR.. +. a.

A Terrible Fight.

Two men. with their guns and dog, were
out hunting near Fergus Falls, Mimi, when
they came across deserted cabin in the
woods in lonesome spot about seven miles
from Minneapolis. On approaching the
shanty the dog began to show signs of fear,
and finally with yelp of terror turned and
ran away. The men were surprised at the
dogs behavior, and one of them stepped to
the window and looked 10. The sight be
beheld was startling one. In the middle
of the floor Icy man with his clothing torn
completely OF, and his body lacerated in
terrible manner. In one hand was grasped
an axe covered with blood, and around him
lay eleven huge gray wolves, One ofths beasts
