The Sumter Watchman of last week,
says: .The County Treasurer Of .Ander-,
son, most efficient officer, recently re-.
signed because the provisions of the Law
touching his duties are so confused as to
entail thankless labor, besides risk Of loss
through the mistake Of other officials over
whose conduct the Treasurer COULD exer-
else no control. There is indeed much
confusion in the tax laws of South Caro-
| lima, bnt, as the Columbia Register says,
the Legislature hss been too busy to look
after little matter like that
j The Rough and Ready Firemen, under
command Of Capt. A. B. Johnson, partic-
| ipated in the Colored Fitamen's Tourna-
ment at Augusta on the 4th inst; and
won the first prize in the reel contest in
,26 ITO seconds. One of their team, Ma
poleon Johnston, also won the first prize
In the individual foot race. There was
considerable confusion and dissatisfaction
over the contest, and the Anderson fremen
complain that they were not treated fairly
BY the Augusta judges. The two prizes
they won amounted to S85, but as yet they
have not received their money. The two
GreenYille Companies also attended the
Tournament, and they also returned
home not pleased with Augusta's colored
fremen.

deared himself to the Institute by his in

thought. OF the other two gentlemen it
not necessary to speak, for they are 'liv"
ing epistles known and read of all men,
in this community. The Institute will
| adjourn to-day. Our efficient School

hard.to make the Institute profitable and
interesting to the teachers, and success haa
crowned his efforts.
