The war taxes have yielded quite as
much revenue as the conservative
estimates predicted. At the rate of
receipts since these taxes went into
effect they will yield at least $i44, ,00O,-
geo year. The $500. .000,O borrowed
ny the government will give the treas
ury S:s4 100000 this year from extra
ordinary sources. 1t is believed that
after all the expenses of the war have
been paid there will be an uifcXpcndcd
balance Of $500. 100000 in the treasury.
The war has given II most impressive
illustration of the financial power of
0nr government. Nobody has felt the
additional Federal taxation, which will
bring in Slli, i,0Go,0G0 Il year and there
are many Of the war taxes which should
be retained permanently. Certainly
the new taxes on beer and tobacco
should be kept up. and there are some
of the stamp taxes which should be
kept up. We are, however. raising
more revenue than is needed for the
legitimate expenses of the government,
and how to reduce taxation to the
proper point will be the most impor-
tant question that Congress will have
to consider AT its next session. by all

CORN STALKS To THE
FRONT.

There are two factories in the
United States. that buy corn stalks
at 81 ton for the purpose of man.
ufaeturing Cellulose. One of these
factories is at Owensboro Kentucky
Cellulose is the pith of the corn
stalk its uses are varied and
wonderful. War vessels are lined
with it, and whenever q vessel so
lined is punctured with a shot, the
contact of the water with the cel-
luIose causes that to swell, closing
the aperture and preventing the
water from entering between the
ships inner and outer walls.
Beside, the railroads have
found 1t to be far superior to cot
ton waste for packing journals, as
it requires less oil and obviates bot
boxes. AS a covering for steam
pipes it is the best known sub
stance. For making paper it is
found superior to wood pulp, and
from it kodak films, frescoes, and
all papier mache articles can be
made.
An acre of good corn will give
two to four tons of stalks, 30 we
may be happy yet on corn stalks.

A BILL OF ABOMINATIONs.

There is pending before the
Senate of this State "a bill entitled
a bill to provide for the adjust
ment of the bonded indebtedness
of Pickens Township in Edgefeld
County and to declare, fix and es-
tablish the amount of such in
debtedness upon the bonds and
coupons issued in aid of the Au-
gusta, Edgefeld and Newberry
Railroad Company, and to provide
for the payment of and funding
the same at the maturity of said
bonds"
This bill is too long 10 publish
here, but it is of vital importance
to the real estate owners of Pick
ems Township and should be
thoroughly discussed and under
stood before it be allowed to pass
and become law; to that end and
for that purpose we have been re-
quested to call meeting of the
citizens of Pickens Tuwnshjp for
Monday next the 7th February.
Let every taxpayer be present.

FREE SILVER.

Senator Tellr has introduced
and had passed through the Uni
ted States Senate the following
resolution:
Mr.. Teller's resolution provides:
"That all bonds of the United
States issued or authorized to be
issued under the said acts OF con-
gress herein bofore recited are pay
able, principal and interest, at the
option of the United States, IN
silver dollars of the coinage OF
the United States containing
4121-2 grains each of standard
silver, and that to restore to Its
coinage such silver coins as a le-
gal tender in payment of said
bonds, principal and interest, is
not in violation of the public faith
nor in derogation Of the interests
of the public creditors"

and probably on that account al
lowed him more privileges than
they would otherwise have done.
So one day he vaulted over their
stockade, which was near where
the Episcopal church now stands,
and was soon swimming across Sa-
vannah river and again free.
Capt. Hammond spent his last
days at the home Of Mr.. Charles
Hammond, and the writer met
him there several times. He was
a man of small stature, of the
strictest integrity, modest i'll de-
pertinent and retiring in manners.
He died, I think, between 1850
and 1855, was buried among his
kindred at a place known as Mt.
Airy, near Savannah river, a short
distance above old Cambeltown.
The writer of this sketch had the
melancholy satisfaction of help
ing to bury him. He was one
hundred a'ed. .fye gears old.

buy a copy of his history. Well

OF indicated surplus and to ad-
vance prices to a much higher
plance. In the meantime, whether
prices advance or not between
now and the time for making pre-
parations for the new crop, the
experience of this fall should
make it perfectly clear to southern
farmers that they should next
year give less acreage to cotton
and more to food and forage crops"
Therefore, there is money to be
made this very winter by the very
resolution to reform. Good
