Tin Dreaded Horse DImm*. ,'.' f
Tho name of the dreadinl hone disease ?
which is now prevailing so extensively y
throughout the Northern cities. and which ( r
extending ?o fearfully and rapidly, U called C
by numberless names, but the most common I
ono, wo believe, is 44 Episodic.** During the ^
past weak, it has been found to exist in the jcities
of Washington, Chicago, PHtsburg, \
Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, eto. The
disease makes rapid progress, and is already
in Charleston, and will no doubt be in the upper
part of the State very soon. In many of
the large places, the street ears, which are.
^ drawn by horses, are entirely stopped, and all \
horse trarel largely curtailed. \
Govornor Scott has issued a proclamation,
prohibiting the importation ef horses. into
South Carolina during the pre valence Of tbs epidemic.
^
As a great many horses'eome into the 8tate q
from Kentucky and Touncseoe, through North \
Carolina, entering Greenville County, Govern- 3
or Scott last Friday, telegraphed to Sheriff ?
Southern to prevent, if possible, the imports* ^
tion of horses through our Connty. p
Wo append tho Sheriff's notice, issued by
him: * F
State or Sooth Carolina, 1 ^
Kxecutivu Department. j '
Whereas, information has reached this office
that an epidemic among burses exist s to an
alarming extent in tho Northern cities, and
unless precautionary measures are provided
against the introduction of this contagious ^
disease, great loss may be caused therefrom:
Now, thcreforo, I, Robert K. Scott, Governor
of the State of Sonth Carolina, do hereby or- {
dnin and proclaim that the importation of
horses and mules is prohibited, by railroad or ^
otherwise, during the existence this epidemic,
and that all vessels having such cargoes, sr p
riving at tho ports of Charleston. Georgetown
and Hilton Head, be directed to remain at j
? uUi.? l_
and inspected by tie Hoalth Officer of said 5
ports respectively. 8
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set *
my band nnd caused the great seal of tbo j
State to bo affixed, at Colombia, this
twenty-sixth day of October, A. D. 1872, I

Wo give tho following plan of treatment, *
written to Robert Bonner, of the New York
Ledger, which may be of uso should tho opi- \
domic reach this portion of tho State, which
is not at all unlikely:
Niagara Falls, October 24, 1872.
Robert Bonner, Esq.?Doar Friend : I no- \
tice by the morning te'legrnms in the papers ^
that the epizootic has reached your city and
your stable. The disease first broke out iu Toronto,
Ontario, and here next. I have had j
all of my horses down with it except my q
wife's little mare, and so far sho has not had
it. It is not a dangerous disease, and is strict- S
ly confined to tbe bead aud throat, immediate- '
r
]y under tbo throat-latch. It is good, careful ^
nursing more than anything else that is need- j
cd. My remedy (from my experience with j
my own horses) is as follows : '\
Keep the horses comfortably blanketed and N
quit working them. I used a powder twico a ^
day, composed of potash and tarturized nnti- ^
mony, (three ounces,) made into twenty-four
por.dcrs. Keep the nostrils sponged out with
a solution of vinegar and camphor and a little
ammonia. Give soft feed, such as mashes and ^
cut feed. Do not give them any bay except
such as is cut, nor any dry oats. In the first stages,
if severe, give, for the first two days,
two small doses of anconite, one in the morn- j.
ing and one in the evening. They arc good ^
to prevent any fever or disease from reaching y
the lungs. I
Out of orcry horse in this place having it, (
only one has died, And that from starvation j
and hard work, being turned out on the com- j
mon to starve and freeze at night.
The disease lusts about two weeks, and genorally
the worst of it is over in ten daj'g. N
Don't foil to use a counter irritant on the A
throat, but not severe enough to blister. Alcohal
and mustard, or ammonia and sweet oil, .
or even strong liniment, are very good.
A little walk in your yard will do the j.
horses much good if they fee! like moving; j
but don't let them get warmed up, nor drive g
them at all. Of course, you know all about f
it, but I felt that I must writo to you about G
my experience. Any horse that is driven I1
ought to bo free from checking; and a little ^
chance to graze is good for them. The lower ^
tbe bead is in feeding the better. Take the \|
chill off the water before they drink it. \
Pardon my writing you so long a letter. ^
Pray don't bo uneasy about your horses; thoy J
will come out all rigbt. Truly your friend,
James T. Fulto*.

For the Greenville Enterprise
Mr Editor?Well, I did go to the Anderson
Fair, and I was well pleased?so much
so, I hat I must beg, implore and beseech our
people here to have a Fair. A happy time
did I have, too, in going and returning?
saw a few little incidents. In the first
place, I repaired to the depot in due time,
and procured a return ticket, but the con
ductor would charge me 50 oent9 for four
chickens I desired to exhibit; not much
encouragement to Foirs. On board I found
genial spirits in the shape of big S , with a
big heart, little S., with a great big soul
and good travelling companion ; Captain
and Honorable H. and his jovial son.
CaptainS, with whom I used to "fight,
bleed and die for our country," a great
talker and good company ; Ham. B , with
bis New York Heralds of latest date, and
last, though not least that whole-awuled
and genial spirit. Will O., the greatest
travelling companion U has been my good
fortune to meet up with on a bad railroad.
On board also was a goodly number of the
fair daughter* of Greenville going to the
Anderson Fair, with I heir Mary Queen o/
Scota head-gear. In fart, it looked like all
phe pre'ty girls were going to leave Greenville,
which evinced a very commendable
public spirit. Well, io due time we reached
Anderson, which was about 11 o'clock,
which showed a remarka>>|? rate of speed,
at least 10 milea an hour-?we were going
hy ream, and no boiler "busted." At
Anderson wo found a vast erowd, mostly
wending their way to the Pair Grounds ?
Arriving on the grounds, the Managers,
Bayle and Tom Crayton and friend Hoyt,
sent with great dispatch for my fowle and
entered them wilhont any expense. By
the way, good managers will make a good
Fair. I saw some supremely good eatlle of
both sexes, bat there seemed to be not a
sufficient quantity of flogs and Sheep?However,
the Fair ie in its Infancy, and
will improve in that Jine. The array in
the poultry line almost beat the State Fair.
The array of fine horses and moles was
great, and soma good time was made aroond
the splendid traek. f am happy to say, a
Greenville pair of mules took the premium,
entered by Mr. Vaughn, but belonged to
Mr N F. Burgees. The display of the do* <
mestio and fine arte wee good, whieh showed
that the fair daughters of Anderson ere
wide awake. A more industrious set of
men then the Agents of the various eewiag
machines I never sew. A button hole
would be worked in the epaee of time that

will go next year.
I remained notil Satoiday morning, when
the rain came pouring down. Wending
my way to the depot, I found I would have
to remain until the Walhalla train eeme
down. When it did come down, it was on
the off track. I enquired of some one if
they were not going to shift up to the platform.
I was politely told that if I wanted
to get on, I must cross over to the " train."
Some ladies were along, so they had to
wade through tha mud aud get " aboard.'
Well, a board was procure!, but not as good
a board as we got at Belton. Oh I misery 1
The Greonville <fc Columbia Railroad Com-,
pauy evidently aim to make a fortune end
retire I Hie only seat I could obtain waa
on a box by a nigger wench, whose husband
eyed me suspiciously. A Grant voter,
whoae business it sermed to be, was to torture,
continued to cram pine wood into an
old stove, until it became unendurable.?
He made a good Universaliet of nee, for I
knew I was getting my share in this world.
The Railroad Company evidently get their
wood cheap. That was the only instance
in which they did not show economy. I
eventually had to vacate, and not being
able to aland np, I mounted the break. In
the coutse of time we arrived near a station,
when the brenkraan politely bowed nie off.
There was no use, for the train was about
to st< p from mere exhaustion. My genial
friend, Will. G.,rtocd and took it. He had
been under "fire" before. By good luck,
we got home safe, resolved to go to the
Anderson Fair again, if I have to go around
by the Air-Line. GREENVILLE.

Mr. Editor?I think it mneh to the or edit
of our County that lb* elections passed off
no qnistly. I am Mill harping on the repedU 1
atioo question, and hope the Legislature
will do something to relieve the State of the '
enormous debt, or take Judge Orr'a pl*e or
settling fifty eenta io the dollar. I bear Of
more tax to be eolleeted. Jt Is simply a
mild form of eoofisoailoa; and by the time
we are through with it, some of us will
think it a eery rough form.
Parker's letter to the New York Bond*
holders, was the first more of the Ring in
their great raid on the people of South Carolina
In that letter he said the Auditor
was authorised by law to leey a tax to pay '
interest on bonds, and said it was bis desire
to haee the tax levied and the interest paid.
Neagle follows io his letter to Governor |
Scott (sometime ago published) urging him
to compell the Auditor to act. What was
the resson for so much care? It was a big
thing, and they must take it ell. A pool
has been formed to hold fire millions of
the fraudulent conversion bonds I This i
cost about thirty cents, or $1,600,000 for
the pool. If the Auditor will levy a tax to
pay tha January interest, and the accrued
interest, the price of these bonds will go
to at least sixty. The Ring ean then sell
out, clearing $1,600,000 again.
Previous to Janoary 1st, they having an.
nouoeed that as the day when intereat is to
be paid, they will sell bonds short to the
amount of $5,000,000 at, eay, Wty, to |be
delivered Janoary 15th. When January
1st comes, oo interest will be paid. Bonds
will fall to thirty again or below. The
ring will be able to cover their aborts at
that price, and will clear $1,000,000 by that
operation again. The tax levy of alx mills
to pay interest will be collected ? $1,000,.
000?and the various kinds ol State paper
now in the band* of the Ring, bought at
rates of discount, varying from twenty to
fifty cents on the dollar, will he paid by
the Treasurer. So the Ring will clenr, in
that *.ay, eay $600,000. Total proBts to
the Ring, if the Auditor will oompty with
the demands, $3,100,000. Parker said he
would lather have this tax levied than to
bo State Treasurer.
Edward F. Gary, late Auditor, did not
comply with their demands; he, out of hie
regular course of duty, prevented the circulation
of the Blue Ridge Script. He was
the only man that would bring a suit
against them, and they have attempted to
buy him by offering him $10,000 cash, and
$26,000 in Scrip to stop the suit; but, like
an honest man, he refused. Another party
oflVred him, if he wonld levy the tax, or
rieigo his position so as Dr. Neagle could
levy the tax, $'20,000' cash?at the same
lime, Scot? promising to- continue him in
office if he would make the lV?vy. lie re
fuses; and what is the result? He is
hrnwn out, and J. L. Neagle appointed instead
AN things now being ready, they
will levy the^ tax before the sitiing of the
next Legislature. Is it right ? Shall we,
Tax-Payers, come foiward and pay it? No
We will not. it ft can be prevented. Jluat
we take it as our duty to pay every lax that
may be imposed by unscrupious men who
chance to be in power? No 'r not by any
means. Let us resist to that extremity,
LIiaL ail )innn?t man Anttlil ? 5? -
r " "?'? ? *?,?
ped, and let there be one voice from the
mountain to the sea-shore?down with this
tax. It w>l> cut off all kinds of trade and
1 business -r and the few hard -earned dollars
that the laborer Was laid up for a dull dav
will be gobbled up by this corrupt Ring,
and carried away. It seems to m?, we llave
reached that point where human indurance
ceases to bo a virtue.
Let every man come forward end speak hi*
sentiments, and I foil that that sentiment
will he: We hare paid taxes enough, and
cannot, willingly, pay aoy more for 1872.
