On the day the tax books were closed
the railroads rendered the amount of
their taxes under the assessment OF the
County Boards, but the County Treasu-
rers refused the money, as it did not
cover the amount of the increased as
sessment as made by the State Board.
Steps were at once taken by the railroads
to resist the payment of the increased
assessment. In the meantime the State
saw that it had made mistake in refus-
ing the amount rendered aud awaiting the
decision of the Court in reference to the
amount involved under the increased as
sessmens, and it then went to the Courts
to compel the railroads to pay the amount
they had rendered. In this case Judge
Simonton filed decision last Saturday.
The decree is that the railroads deposit
with the Clerk of the Court within ten
days certificate check payable to each
County Treasurer, the check to such
Treasurer being for the sum Of money
heretofore rendered to him by the rail-
road as thesum admitted to be due /; that
the said clerk deliver to each Of said
Treasures or his attorney the check so
drawn; that upon the delivery ofsuch
check if the bank upon which 1t is drawn
remain solvent 1t shall be received and
accepted as Of the day of the original ten
der with the same force, effect and oper-
alton to every extent and purpose and
inference whatsoever as if the money
was actually received at that day.

WlYes' Bunco Games.

A Chicago wife last summer induced
her husband to promise to give her all
silver half dollars and quarters he receiv-
ed which bore an odd date. Then the fair
schemer took into her confidence num-
Der of men with whom her husband had
business dealings, requesting them to
save for her unsuspecting spouse all the
odd-dated subsidiary coin they chanced
to take in. The consequence was that the
husband was surprised beyond measure
to find that a remarkably large number
Of his bills thereafter were paid in small
coin, which hia wife promptly confiscated
under his own proposition. He would
have been bankrupted very speedily had
he not smelt rat and promptly struck
his colors by efecting compromise.
Now comes story of similar finan-
cial scheme which, for neatness Of design
and promptness Of execution, has rarely,
if ever, been equalled. In the second
case the husband promised to give his
wife all the silver pieces she found in his
wallet which were coined in the year she
was born. AS result the lady In due
course Of time had quite an amount OF
silver money on hand-so much, in fact.

course the cashier, being noted for his
courtesy to ladies, quickly replied that he
would be happy to please her. But the
husband was not hilariously happy when
he found that, by most unaccountable

NEW ORLEANS, March 26.-The Times
Democrats Corpus Christi, Texas, spe-
cial says: ga tragic affair occurred In
Hidalgo county which is touching in the
extreme. Two State Rangers, with P.
S. Coy, Of this county, as guido, were
in the locality mentioned above on the
outlook for horse thieves. Suddenly
they came upon two Mexicans riding
the same horse and called to them to
stop, as they were officers and wanted in
formation. "I'll die before you shall
take mo-" said the Mexican riding in
front, and, drawing his six-shooter, he
fired at the rangers, but without effect.
Coy Immediately returned tho shot and
brought his man to the earth. The ball
passed through his body and produced
almost instant death.
The Mexican riding behind sprang
from his horse, and, kneeling beside the
PROSTATE form of the dying man, raised
his head aud began sobbing and beg
ging him not to dio. The Rangers came
up and discovered that the uuiniurcd
Mexican was sixteen-year- old girl,
dressed in mems attire, and the dying
man was her lover. They had eloped

Crucifled Himself.

BERLIN, March, 5S.-Near Konigsboro
East Prussia, man named PaSchke re-
Gently crucifed himself, under the i'm
pression that he ought to die in the same
manner as the Saviour. Paschke was
until recently harmless person, but be-
came 8 religious monomaniac through
the teachings of apreacher who has been
creating considerable excitement in East
Prussia.
After attending a religious meeting,
sons weeks ago, in which the death OF
Christ was described with much realism
Paschke conceived the idea that his sins
could be atoned for by submitting to
the same form Of expiaticn. He pro-
cured some scout cord and tied his own
legs in such way that it would be diff.
cult, if not impossible, to raise himself
after he had lain down. What he did
afterwards can only be judged from his
condition when. found, as no one was

board. Then, lying on his back, he had
hammered nail tarough his left hand
with the right, mailing the left hand firm
ly. The right hand remained free, and
in this the maniac took knife and re-
peatedly stabbed himself in the breast.
He became unconscious from pain and
loss of blood, and was in this condition
when his wife returned home. She
called for help, and it took great exer-
ton to pull out the nails and release the
victim. He was bathed in blood and was
at first supposed to be dead but gradual
iy recovered consciousness. While his
wounds are of the most serious charac-
ter, it is believed that they are not ne
cessarilY fatal.

A Card.

MEssRs. EDITORS: Please allow me
space to reply to some Of the statements
of your Prospect correspondent, as /
think it would be unjust for them to go
unchallenged.
He has taken the trouble to hold up to
your readers some Of the actions of "Our
Church." in which he tries to defend the
action of certain mem bers for, as he says,
doing their duty.
If they did right they would need no
defence, and by his defending their &C.
tion he virtually acknowledges that there
is something "rotten In Denmark" lie
commends the Pastor, though young and
inexperienced, for doing his duty, and
SAYS that more of the unfruitful branches
will be cut off. How does he know they
will be? Has there been more Of the
"Moonlight Caucusos," in which only tho
"true and tried" were allowed to partici-
pate? Has the order gone out that these
branches are to be cut off 30 as to give a
''true and tried" majority. From the way
that the Pastor presides over US he cer-
tainly understands Parliamentary Law"
and has studied the late edition Of ,rhos.
B. Reed, Of Maine, and in following his
rulings abridges the rights of members,
and makes bis own arbitrary will the
law never makes mistakes; counts a
quorum" when it suits him, and orders
jority votes against him. He gathers
around him that band of "true and tried

something beside trying to array brother

the business of circulating the gossip OF

his Master" who came to bear the glad
tidings of "peace on earth and good will

the world better by having lived in it,

McssYs. Editors There has been much
said about hard times, and many suggest
ions made to remedy them. But in my
humble opinion the key note has not been
struck yet. And if you will allow me
space in your much esteemed paper will
try to give the public few thoughts. !
shall write from experience.
One reason for hard times is attributable
to the inability of great many to live
within their means, which inability may
be traced to the effect of the Civil War.
Thousands. of poor men fell upon the
battle fields and left their families in poor
circumstances, while many others were
fortunate enough to get back home, but
found nothing left to live upon, conse'
qnently instead Of starting on alevel they
had to dig hole and get in 1t. and have
never been able to extricate themselves, OF
in other words they had to buy start on
credit and pay high price for it, I re.
member we'll that I had to promise three
dollars per bushel for corn. and every 9TH
er necessity was accordingly high.
More than half the people had to live
upon rented land, and give half the pro.
duce, whilst q few others picked up an old
rip Of a horse, that the raiders considered
worthless, and made out to till small
on account of droughts and inability o1
the horse to pull the plow the proper
depth, consequently at the end of the year
they found themselves deeper in the mud
than they we're at first.
But being anxious to get out where they
could breathe easy they set in with renew:
ed energy to make another crop on Dor.
rowed capital. And at the present they are
In the same lamentable condition, and hoT
to get out is problem that have given
much thought, and I have at last found
the way out If can get my more fortunate
neighbors to consent to and practice what
shall suggest.
It is evident that there is an overproduc.
tion of cotton, which has reduced the price
so as to make it an Improbable crop, new.
ertheless poor fellow must plant it so q:
to meet the demands of his creditor, 1t be
ing the only crop that is ready money
Now my suggestion is this: Let those who
are out of debt quit planting cotton and
plant breadstufs. That would decrease the
acreage in cotton and increase the acreage
of breadstufs, thereby enhancing the val.
ue of cotton and decrease that of bread,
and the best of it all is that the money
would be kept at home among those who
raised the bread. Now, what say you,
brother farmers, can't you consent to this
suggestion for q few years and let US poor
fellows out Of the mire?
Remember, the Saviour said the strong
ought to bear with the weak. And if you
will just leave the cotton business with us
for few years. think you will lift Us out
of the mire. Who does not wish to see
everybody out of debt with crib full OF
corn? s.

Mohawk Items,

The farmers are planting corn with a
vim. They say they are going to plant
more corn and less cotton this year.
The health Of orr community is very
good at present
Our school is on boom. There are
about sixty scholars on the roll. We have
one Of the best teachers in the County.
Mr.. Swilling MoFall made flying visit
here last third Sunday and spent few
hours with his best girl. We are always
glad to welcome you, Mr. McFall, come
again.
Messrs. Luther Parker and Effie Pruitt
gave their Oakland girls pleasant call
last third Sunday night, and report having
a good time. You should call on them
again, boys.
Messrs John Pruitt and Stephen Fisher
have each turned out their mustache,
which are quite attractive to the young
ladies.
A certain young man went to see two of
our girls recently, and he had sach fine
mustache that they wanted to paint it
blue. They said that it would take great
deal of turpentlne to paint them, but he
refused to have them to do the work.
Young man, you should give them an
other call when you want any painting
done.
Pigs in this unity are as scarce as
hen teeth. We want about car load of
them, for I think it will take that many
to supply the neighbors. HAWK.

finger Of the other in her mouth and
slightly bit it. The bite merely brought
the blood and nothing was thought OF 1t
until next day when the finger began to
swell. She let it 60 on for while longer

She would not agree to this and return

again with her hand in q terrible fix. She
had concluded to have the finger taken off,
but the surgeon informed her that she
had delayed SO long that the entire hand
would have to be amputated. She refus-
ed, and now the doctor says the only pos

Give Your Work to Home Mechanics.

EDITORS INTELL1aENcER: Will you
please allow me space to speak word in
behalf of the mechanics of Anderson.
You may think at first that have q
very poor subject or subjects to discuss.
Well, confess I have, for they are all
poor, and the probability is that they are
to remain so, unless the people of Ander-
son who have work to do stop giving
it to the mechanics Of other towns. Now
I venture to say that the mechanics of
Anderson, take them as whole, are as
sober, industrious and law-abiding as any
town in the South can produce, and
among them there are architects and
builders that are as good as any who
come from q distance. They are not
prejudiced against the South and South
ern people; they employ home mechan-
les, and what they make they spend here
at home to help build up our town.
Anderson has mechanics enough to do
all the work she will have done this year.

He Resembles O Sheep.

MADISON, GA, March 25.-Peter Pat
rick is the name of an old darkey living
near Rutledge, who Is somewhat of GU
riosity. He is about sixty-fve years old,
and weighs about one hundred and twen-
ty-five pounds. The strange thing about
this old man is his resemblance to sheep.
His color is perfectly black, the hair Of
his head is long and white, as also is his
beard. It looks exactly like Q white
sleeps wool. He tells us that this wool
is as long and thick on his back and
shoulders as it is on his face and head.
Also that it covers his entire body. He
has very peculiar appearance about the
face. He tails US he is dear lover of
sheep, and oftentimss during his life he
has spent the nights under the old GIN
house and in the screwpits. He is a negro
of good sense, and one of the most indus
trious old men we ever saw. He does not
deny that he is like unto sheep and will
talk freely on the subject. Also says that
he had heavy coat of beard when he
was only twelve years old, and it was
perfectly white when it made it's appear
ance.
