THE LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Iowa, Jan. 10, '91.
Mr.. Thos. w. Holloway, Sec. Agr.
Society, Pomaria, Newberry Co.,
S. c.:
Dear Sir:-Your esteemed favor OF
31st December received, also three
printed public documents as per re-
Guest, for which / am very much
obliged, as you have exceeded my re-
quest. l have read some in the large
one descriptive of the condition and
resources of South Carolina with a
great deal of interest. 1t seems to have
been prepared with great deal OF care,
and is pretty full and exhaustive on
the subject.
I do not know whe2 have seen a
sketch of any other State so well pre-
pared as this one at hand. You people
down there have much greater matters
to settle and work out, socially and
politically, than we have up here,
where our populations are more
homogeneous; but you are doing well,
and we all wish you success in your
efforts, unless it may be some of our
meaner sort of politicians who, for
their political aims, desire to report
strife in the Southern States. But they
are few, and from the late political
avalanche appear to be growing beautl'
fully less. \.
1t seems now that the Democratic
party is the only national party, unless
the agricultural movementshall assume
national proportional size and impor-
tance. Anything for NE but the sec
tionalism of the present Republican
party, which is also purely local in its
economic legislation.
thank you for forwarding my letter
to Mr.. E. P. Chalmers, of Newberry
c. H. Perhaps I may hear from him.
If so, can easily identify myself with
the tribe Of Scotch-Irish Chalmerses
who came over from Ireland about
1895, and settled in Newberry District,
S. G. I had three full cousins, Sims,
Edward and James Chalmers, in the
Confederate service, sons of Thomas
Chalmers, my mothers brother. |
believe they now reside at Holly
Springs, Miss. ,
With many thanks for your kind
ness and indulgence, I remain at your
service, very truly, D. c. KYLE.

for the State.
Po,|ARIA. February Z, 1891.

POMARIA, FEBRUARY I, 1891.
To the Editor of the Herald and
News Il enclose letter from Mr.. D:
C. Kyle, Washington, Iowa, which l
will thank you to publish IN your
paper.
During the month of December past
I received letter from Mr.. Kyle, ad-
dressed to the Secretary of our Society,
asking for certain information respect
ing the resources of our State. L knew
OF no better way to comply with his re-
quest than by asking Col. Butler, then
Commissioner of Agriculture OF the
State, to send to Mr.. Kyle copy Of the
handbook" OF 726 pages, prepared
with great care and published by the
late Board of Agriculture.
This book aud some subsequent pub
lications were sent to Mr.. Kyle, as well
as the last publication OF l6O pages
of the "Trausactions' Of the State
Agricultural and Mechanical Society.
After the receipt of these publications
Mr.. Kyle replied in acknowledgment
in the letter enclosed.
lam the more pleased to present this
letter through our county papers, from
the fact that Mr.. Kyle's mother is a
native of our county, whose relatives
may have lost sight Of this relative at
least in the far West.
1t occurs to me that with some effort
on the part of the State officials, as well
as by personal endeavor, much good
might be accomplished in turning the
tide of immigration westward to our
sunny cline, and induce those who
are already in the West to leave a
vigorous climate and come southwark,
where farming is more remunerative
to the agricuIturist if properly pur,
sued, with industry and economy prac-
ticed.
I started out merely to enclose the
letter, but I find myself occupying toe
much space. Yours very truly,

A RESPITE FOR TAXPAYERS.
Until February Is Only Fifteen per Cent
Penalty will Attach to Taxes not
Paid,
ESPECIAL to News and Courier.

COLUMBIA, Feb. 6.-An opinion of
importance to all the tax payers in the
States filed tonight by Chief Clerk
Norton in the office of the comptroller
general, who asked the Judgment OF
Assistant Attorney General Townsend
in the premises. The importance Of the
opinion will be estimated when it
is understood that great effort is now
being made to collect delinquent taxes.
The following is the document:
40 the Hon. w. II. Elerbe, comp
troller general-Sir: In your communi-
cation of this date addressed to the
attorney general, you say:
The legislature of 1889 fixed the
time for the collection of the taxes for
the fiscal year lSS9-90 from the 18th Of
December, 1880, to the 2nd of January,
1891, for collection, with l5 per cent.
penalty. The legislature Of 1890 extend
ed the time for the collection of taxes
sor the fiscal year lSS9-9O to the lst of
February, 1891, without penalty. What
effect does the act of 1890 have on that
Of 1889 rs to the eighteen days allowed
for the collection OF taxes with ID per
cent, penalty? Does the act Of 1890 ex-
tend this time to the 18th of February,
1881?
In answer to this inquiry have
the honor to say to you that while the
Act of 1890 extends the time for the
collection of taxes without penalty to
the lst of February, 1891, it does not
expressly, or in my opinion, impliedly
REPEAL the penalty clause to which you
.,,fuae in the Act CT 1889. Therefore,
constituting the two Acts together, con-
clude that after the lst of February,
1891, there was still a period of eighteen
days allowed for the collection of taxes
with the penalty of Is per cent. added
before lands could be treated as delin-
quent for non-payment Of taxes there

CROSSING THE FORTH BRIDGE.
An Old Lady's Fear About the Under

An Old Lady's Fear About the Under
taking.
A London Journal says that . stout
and elderly woman was on board train
which was approaching the Forth
bridge. Her remarks, which she be-
slowed right and left upon her fellow
passengers, showed that she was unac-
customed to travelling; yet she must
have been something of q philosopher
in her own way.
The old lady was nervous about the
bridge. She had seen pictures of it, and
had made up her mind that it could not
be quite safe. She kept inquiring when
the train would come to it, and at last
was told that it was close at hand.
'Well," said she, rather solemnly, 81
don't know whether we shall get over
alive or not, but if we don't it sha'n't
be my fault"
Then she settled i,to the corner of
the seat with determined air and a
puckered-up mouth, which were only
less droll than the general air of respon-
sibility which brooded over her. During
the passage OF the bridge she did not
speak word. but seemed to be holding
her breath.

NAMING A TOWN.

The Father Of Seven Red-Hcaded Sisters
Started the Town Of Auburndzis.
The town OF Auburndale, Wis, re-
ceived its name in . peculiar manner.
Years ago, when that section was COM
parativsly undeveloped and land was
cheap, q man named King located there
and built mill.
The place had good shipping facil-
tiles, and the mill soon become a nu-
clcus of quite thriving, busting little
town.
Then arose the question of a name
for the embryo city, and by common con-
sent the right of naming it was coclced-
ed to the first settler, Mr.. King.
The citizens wanted to cali the place
Kings Mills, but the old gentleman OBJ
jected He said he didn't want his name
tackled on to any one-horse or two-horse
village.
Now, says the New York Continent,
the old man was the happy father of
seven bouncing daughters, and the vii
layers suggested that the name of one
Of them should be given to the new
town.
This idea pleased the father as much
as it pleased the seven daughters but
which one of the seven fair ones should
be honored above her six sisters? The
town could not be handicapped with all
the seven names. s.
Finally happy thought struck the
old man. Every one of his seven daugh-
forc u-oa rod-headed He dac;dad ~
honor them all by christening the town
Auburndale, and Auburndale itremains
