appointed Some time ago for the purpose OF
waiting upon the citizens and obtaining

Can't be Reduced.
The Tax Levy Must Stand as
it is.

In view of the fact that taxes are
being so slo wly paid, evidently
from the low price of cotton, people
are beginning to discuss the ques
tion whether il will not be possible
for the Legislature to reduce the levy
at the coming session.
Dr.. Zimmerman, treasurer of the
state, is probably more familiar with
the financial condition of the state
than any other man in it. In speak
ing on the general aspect of affairs
he expressed the opinion this morn.
ing that the levy could not be re-
duced, provided even the necessary
appropriations for the government
are confined as they are. There ls
no extravaganza in appropriations.
On the contrary there is in many
instances disposition shown to cut
down the expenses of departments
absolutely to the proper conduct of
the government.
Mr.. Zimmerman planned that the
great loss of the revenue from the
phosphate industry made it impos'
sible to reduce the levy. This
meant a loss of several hundred
thousand dollars which annually went
into the treasury.
From interviews and letters pub
lished in the county papers it is ev.
ident that legislatures are set on cut
ting down expenses, many of them
advocating the reduction of sala-
ries of officers Such bills come up
yearly, but generally amount to aoth'
ing.
Even if they. were scaled as some
Legislators want them the situation
would not be materially be affected
the levy would not be decreased.
1t seems that the only thing to do
is 10 grin and bear it, now that we
are in hard luck, and hope for bet.

VISIT TO THE STATE
FARM.

The visit to the state farm, which
had to be postponed during fair week
on account Of the weather, will
probably be given by the board Of
directors and Superintendent Neal
during the first week Of the legislature.
The first day or two of the session, and
in fact the whole week, is generally
devoted to preliminary matters of
legislation and the TWO houses could
we'll afford to 60 and see what is being
done. There will be no outings for
them otherwise aud journey to the
farm will not interfere with legislation
and will prove profitable to the state.-

Mrs. Price, who lectured 10 the Presby-

China Mrs Price studied medicine under q

sand patients who would have been otherwise

all the ladies of the city was extended.

Mr.. J. Henry Privett, farmer Of Florence
county, it is reported, has just sold in his
local market, ..Timmcusville, the crop off of
eighteen acres planted in tobacco for So, ,399,
or at the rate of nearly $500 per acre. The
cost of this crop could not have exceeded
$50 an acre-as it is usually estimated at
from S25 to $50, we believe-and on this
basis the prof of the crop was $3.50 an acre,
or the profits Of the crop on eighteen acres
would buy farm of 270 acres at the average
price of good farming lands in this section.
Certainly the cottontots of South Carolina
do not deserve much sympathy in view Of
such poseibilities.-News and Courier.

Thursday will be Thanksgiving day. It
is only when we are called upon in this mark
ed manner to discover amid all these hard
times, the true sources Of gratitude, that we
can appreciate our great and manifold bless
iaes. True the great staple harvest of our
section, that around which reyolves the very
susteoance of our people, has been disposed of
at ruinous rates; very true, debts, grim.
awful debts, stare many in the face. aud
almost every home feels a pinching touch !;
but With it all, and amid i, ell, we have the
certain consciousness that the same Divine
Hand still roles. The self-same soil from
which we have 80 often gathered our daily
bread. still silently awaits the quickeoiog
touch Of our energy to bring forth again Its
generous increase. Those nearest aod deares:
to us are yet permitted to lioger with ns.
Many of ne see around us an unbroken circle.
We have bread and to spare. Some poor
fellows have made q noble, heroic
effort to provide but have failed even
though they did their best. 1t strikes us at
this Thanksgiving season when our Own
hearts are warmed with deep sense of the
mercies extended TO us, we should feel in a
peculiar degree, tender sympathy for cur
less favored neighbor, we should do towards
him neighbor's part In the true ana oeaatl-
;ul sense of that word. We should let this
tender sympathy for a less prosperous brother
End expression in substantial assistance.
Let us do all We can to aid 10 putting the
poor fellow on his feet again. This kindness
one to another ct this severe crisis would do
much 10 solving the great problem which
now confronts rs for solution. Hard indeed
must be that heart which at such juncture
could press the widow aud the orphan. Let
the icy words, "This is ouly business" 80
often the preface TO severity, be ,anspoken
here. In the tbankfulness of our hearts let
there be mingled some noble resolves to do
for others. Canno. every one add to the
enjoyment of Thursday by some unsel6sh act,
some exercise Of charity to some unfortunate
neighoor and known only to the recording

Pisgah Correspondence.

The wet weather of last week has retarded
the planting of wheat and oats, for it won't
do to plant them when the ground is wet.
1t rains every Fair week. The Eaoagers
ought to change 10 one week earlier or later,
and may be they would strike it dry. Not
many went over, as the medium of exchange
has taken its departure to more favored
cline.
The birds have come, and their presence
brings the wish FOR some of them. But alas !
from the absence of all noise infer that they
will have to fy OF ia peace from inability to
stop them.
The recent election shows how Indifferent
the people are to vote. The writer mas ever
held that we should have something to inter-
est the voters aud get them out, aud the spe-
cial primary of the llth October illustrates
this.
Some medicine company has issued and
sent out facsimile of the New York Herald
as it was printed on April 18th, 1865, with
a cut of President Lincoln, and history Of
his shooting by John Wilkes Booth.
The following is the official dispatch an
nouncing the death of the President:

Abraham Lincoln died this morning at
twenty-five minutes past o'clock.

Secretary Of War"
An account of the attempted assassination
of Secretary of State, Seward, is also men,
toned, as we'll as the last proclamation Of
President Davis, the evacuation of Richmond,
and extracts from several Southern papers on
the situation. There is complete absence
of bitterness towards the South in the Off.
cial dispatches. I also notice that the New
Orleans market qooted cotton (low middliDg)
g. 42c per pound, and good super6ne -four ct
So per barrel. 10 Raleigh, N. G shad sold
at $50 per pair.
Ps. l03, veraes and 2, was the text used
by Rev. W. T. Duncan last Sunday in his
thanksgiving sermon. he spoke of the beau.
tiful Psalms, aud endorsed Thanksgiving
day. Said it vas day of revelry instead of
praise. Spoke of the beauty of giving more
than that of receiving, and urged his hearers
to more strictly observe the day of our pa
,ional thanksgiving. 1t would afford me
much pleasure to give more extended notice
of this 6ne discourse, but space forbids. 1t

The politicians OF Ogenaw county.
Michigan, have q oew aud vivid
illustration of the old and familiar
truth that it is always dangerous to
Joke with a woman. Some of them, in
spirit of fun. put forward the uame of
Mrs. Abbott, a pretty and bright
young woman who had studied law and
taken a diploma but who retired from
the profession when she was marrled,
as uSminee for District Attorney.
She was persuaded, as a further joke.
to make the canvass and proceeded to
do it so vigorously that attempts we're
made to call her of with explanations
that the performance was humorous
one. She declined to comprehend the
bumor, however. and developed so
much new energy in her pursuit OF
votes that she was elected. Now there
is cousteruation, for Mrs. Abbott has
developed consistently feminine
curiosity and has already announced
that she will overhaul the office pigeon
holes thoroughly.
The pigeon holes Of district at
torney's Office usually contain vas:
quantity of social and moral dynamite:
There are indictments which are held
over for various reasons. All of these
Mrs. Abbott proposes to drag out Tor

to further promote the hilarity OF the
community by prosecuting a number

THE MILITARY COMPANY.

The plan to organize military company
in this city is begiRning to take tangible
shape and all that is nov needed TO bring it
10 successful issue is the cooperation and
encouragement of the business men, and all
others interested in the welfare of Sumter.
Whsn ia Columbia on Wednesday Capt.
LIS. Carson, at the request of q number of
the citizens cf Sumter who are thoroughly
Impressed with the belief that first class
military company should be maintained in
this city. called on Gov. Ellerbe for the pur-
pose of ascertaining what the State authors
ties will do for the company if it shall be
organized. Gov. Ellerbe informed him that
the State will arm and uniform the company
and that it will receive portion of the an
nual appropriation for the militia. A COM
pany TO be accepted must have an enrolment
Of thirty or uore men, aud in order that it
may receive share of the appropriation
must have q stated number of drills and be
inspected once each year. Gov. Ellerbe
stated also that the company will receive all
the assistance and encouragement that the
State authorities can extend TO it.
Arms and uniforms being assured there
seems no impediment in the way Of organiz.
ing company, and once organized there
should DE no difficulty in providing means to
maintain IL. There are undoubtedly thirty
or more men who will be willing, for the
good Of the community, to become active
membess, and ifty or hundred who will
become contributing members and thus aid
in supporting the company. But these are
matters for future consideration, and ways
and means can be taken up for consideration
when the plans are more mutured.
Ameeeipg will be nsid in the Court House
thisevening for the rarpose Of re.organising
the company.
As has been stated, to make the company a
success It will be necessary that it have the
cordial encouragement and support of every
man in the city, and every good citizen
should attend the meeting and do all within
his power to put the company on its feet:

Greenville Soldier Guests.

All kinds of curious schemes and
notions develop in the brains of
Greenviile's soldier guests, A day
or two ago three privates were clump'
ing along by handsome residence
in front of which its handome young
mistress was watering her lawn from
rubber hose.
The three soldiers lined up against
the fence and presently one of them
said solemnly
"Sissy !''
That seemed to define him as a
West Virginian. Northern men don't
say "sissy.
The lady took no notice, but went
on watering her lawn.
"sissy," the soldier repeated after
pause" yor're goin' to get your
feet wet"
No answer.
The warning was repeated. Then
and the three soldiers opened the gate
filed in. Two of theu took the aston
ished and somewhat alarmed young
woman by her two arms and half
lifted her to her own piazza. The
third picked up the hose and with
out another word or change in his
serious countenance proceeeed to
complete the watering of the lawn.
The operation continued some five
or ten minutes, the lady looking on,
unable to determine whether to be
scared, angry, amused or grateful:
Then the soldiers saluted, departed
through the gate and ciumped away.
And nobody knows yet whether
they intended to be impudeut,
executing their own special ideas Of
joke or were honestly acting &C.
cording to their lights on gallantry
and their determination to save the
feet of a handsome young house
wife from dampness.-Greenvllle
