THE ADVERTISER. Edgefield, S. C., Nov. 23, 1871. Shall we Pay our Taxes, or Not? The two great public questions that agitato our State just now are : Shall we pay our Taxes ? And shall wc not repu diate all State Bonds issued in fraud ? As regards the first question, our Coun ty Treasurer is now calling again for thc payment of Taxes ; and notwithstanding that we have already paid one State and County lax-thia year j-andthat Gov. Scott promised not to force the collection of another tax this yearr-whieh promise he is now shamelessly "disregarding-yet if it is as convenient for us to pay taxes now as it "wflfbe"early next spring, we see no particular good tb fres ult in postponing the matter. AnAmrJh'ennore^we.are assured by the County Auditor and the County Treasurer that the taxes now assessed against the tax-payers of this County amount to but little over half of those assessed dur?ng?aoh of the last two years. And if this be the case, perhaps it would bo well to pay up said tax for 1871 with out delay-before the Legislature shall have time to add an additional per cent to tho assessment of our Equalization Board., There is a law that taxes must be paid to support the Government; and perhaps instead of bringing the Govern ment to a dead loci.' by refusing to pay these taxes. Vt were better and safer to bring the corrupt officials before thc bar of legal justice, and there sift and pun ish their misdeeds. P. S.-Since writing the above, wc have? road an able letter from Judge Al drich of Barnwell upon the matter un der discussion. Judge Aldrich is a mem ber of the Executive Committee of th' Tax Payors' Convention, and addresses his letter to tho Hoi:. James Chosnur Chairman of said Committee. It will tx remembered that thc Convention 'ad journed subject to the call of the Presi dent and Executive Committee. This letter is published in tho Charleston p'n pers. Judge Aldrich strongly and n i>h advocates thc non-payment ot* the taxe but advises that nothing of the sort sha!! bo done without mature deliberation and perfect unanimity of action throughout tho State. He says : In view of our present mortifying and distressed condition, I renew my prono sition of last spring, not to pay the taxes. But as such a plan of action' cannot bo carried out witooutunanirnity and concert of design, it will be necessary for the Convention to meet and perfect the de tails, so that every tax-payer will not on ly have its moral support* but be instruc ted as to tho mode of operation. Hence. I address this note to you through thc newspapers, in order to invite attention, elicit discussion, and prepare the public mind for the cheerful reception of any scheme that may be prepared for adop tion. Wo agree with Judge Aldrich and oth er influential men, that the ti me has come for the rc assembling of the Tax-Payers Convention. And while we have given, above, our honest advice to the tax-pay ers of our County, yet should the Con vention be called to meet again, and ad vise differently, we should certainly not council Edgefield to mar the general plan of action. The Blue Ridge Railroad. At the meeting of the stockholders of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, held on Saturday, the following gentlemen were elected directors: " General John A. Wagner, Mayor o' Charleston ; Henrv Gourdin, of Charles ton; William J. Magrath, president ol South Carolina Railroad; Col. Andrew Simonds, pre?'deht First National Bank. Charleston ; Geo. S. Cameron, presiden; South Carolina Loan and Trust Company. Charles'on ; General M. C. Butler, oi Richland ; General M. W. Gary, of Euge field; Col .I.S. Cothran, of Abbeville; William B.

The Just Cry of Kepodiation. The financial condition of South Caroli na is causing great consternation through out her borders, and repudiation is open ly talked of and openly advised. One ol the most unblushing and enormous frauds on record has been perpetrated on the citizens of our State-the over-issuf of bonds of the State of South Carolina to the sum of 320,0-?ti,000. Every mem ber of the State government from Gov. Scott down, is suspected of being privy to this monstrous piece of rascality. In deed there remains scarcely a shadow o, doubt of their being thc deliberate per petrators. And- thus do these carpet baggers design to put lac whole State hi their private pockets. And tiiis fraud-with many others that have gone before-is the nure shameful and aggravating that it has been perpe tratud against a people who, having m voice in ti e administr ilion of their own affairs, either in tho executive or lc. laxive halls of their State'' arc yet exp. ed to shoulder rho responsibility of d< ot> n?se;? against thoi'r credit without th ir consent, and in tito face of such protest as in convention they were able pubiicl) to make. Untie;' these circumstances wt ; . . again call together our Convention;; organize some available plan t.; tu : upon lhe pampered public robbers wl:< are despoiling iii of our properly, white Grant despoils u> ol our political right . Without a doubt all bonds issued in fraud should be promptly repudiated! When weare writhing in the coil-; of political vipers, and when official marauders ar? plundering and getting, rieh out of th< exigencies and necessities of the State, i! becomes binding upon us to light lin thing inch 1 y inch, foot by foot, square by square, nut.tying Sc.?tt and his ac complices that no effort shall bo sparet; to bring upon thom just retribution a' thc hand-? of an insulted and outrag?e people - -? --- E II I-.i ru cu.-eu l of the Phoenix. On "Sunday io.it, the Phoenix, known, honored and patronized throughout oui State, appeared much enlarged and othr orwisc.improved. And, still more im portant', Col. J. P. Thomas is officially announced fc? it's chief Editor. Colonel Thomas, who has been guiding the Phoc nix politically for three or four years past, n">w linkes a formal salutatory-anda very honest and spirited one. We are glad to record these prosperous things o. our co tempo ra ry. Continued and cn bsuced success, we feel assured, lies be fore the Phoenix. Gov. Scott's Thanksgiving. Gov. Scott has appointed Thursday the 80th a* a dav of thanksgiving and prayer. This is a case in which the unworthiness of tho proacher totally invalidates his good words. His Proclamation is ab surdly hypocritical. Let those regard it who choose. The number wiU be small indeed. ^2?~Thc'N?wb3rry Herald announces e death, at that town of Mrs. Helen O'Neall, relict of tho lato lamented Chief usticeJno. Belton O'Neall.

Three negroes, who murdered the Pa: family, near Henryvillc, Indiana, we taken from jail, at Charleston, at tv o'clock this morning, by a mob of oi hundred and fifty men in disguises, ai hanged from a tree half a mile from tow And the brutal murderers receiv< their just deserts. But had this lynchii have occurred in Edgefield, the tow would ere this have been swarming wi Yankee soldiers, and our jail would hai been packed with our ' best and mo prominent citizens. In Indiana, ho\ over, the "government pets" can 1 disposed of in the most summary mai ncr, and it is all righi. Last spring similar lynching occurred at Unionvill and near a hundred persons have bee arrested on the lying report of some Ra ical uegro, charged with being implit ted i n that a?air. Consistency is as m ue a jewel in Governments and Governmei officials as in private individuals. Something to .link? y?u Kat up a Your Relatives. In Granitcville live and labor Messr Durr ?fe Platt.

And a general postponement of pay ment, all over thc State, until thc ex treme limit of tho time which the law dh>ws, will break up tho King, and, wu >eliove, induce tho Legislature toadop' ?nth just and necessary protective meas ures as arc needed for securing the peo ..le against present rascality and im ?ending ruin." ??And thc Courier says : It is not easy tc :oTloctthe taxes by anv lawful mean. within the timo in which the speculator* require that they should be received, un less the citizens of South Carolina should prove false to themselves, their fain ?Ho .md their State'. Scott may at bis pleas ure cause any laws that he may desire, to be passed," but they will fail to accom plish tho purpose for which they are de signed. If oui poople are wisc,* not one dollar of their money will go into thc bauds of the Scott administration until the moment that they are compelled by law to pay. Wc cannot afford to pay ?axes for the benefit of General Scott and iiis friends. Wo have too much need for :vur money to allow him to make use ot it for the purpose of screening the most disgraceful frauds which have ever been practiced upon a people. ?Sf Many of our most prudent citizens are wisely guarding against loss by fire by taking out Policies in that safe and reliable Company, the ''Georgia Home," of Columbus, Ga., and it is well that they arc thus throwing a safe-guard, as it were, over their Dwellings and Furniture, for fires, either accidental or the work of the incendiary, are of frequent occur rence. Tho 44 Georgia Home" basa Cash Capital and Assets amounting to over 8600,000, and p^ys all losses promptly. It is represented in this County by D. It. Durisoe, and takes risks at reasonable rates. pB~ The Union Times, alluding to tho new officers for that county just appoint ed by Governor Scott, says : ** All of them A ili make good officers, and do their du ies fearlessly, faithfully and honestly. We hope the commissioners will go to vorkatonce and get the county out of he vexatious tangle it isnbw-' hi. ? w'iif - >o our pleasure to aid and che?r them, n these appointments, the Governor has vidently succeeded in pleasing the peo le, and he cannot be complained of by is parry."

Butler, late Chairman of Committee of Eleven, Tax-Payers' Con vention. SIB: You have, doubtless, observed the denial of the promise made by Gov ernor Scott to the late Tax-Payers' Con vention, in reference to the postpone ment or the collection of the taxes of the State. Be pleased to give the public your replv to his said denial. I am, yours, respectfullv, J. P. THOMAS, Editor of the PHOENIX. COLUMBIA, S. C., November 13, 1871. Colonel J. P. Thomas, Editor Columbia Phoenix. PEAK SIR: Your note of yesterday, calling mv attention to Hie denial of thc promise made by Governor Scott to thc late Tax-Payers* Convention, "in refer ence to the postponement of the payment of tho taxes of the State," and asking me " to give the public my reply to said denial,"- has benn received. My recollection ofthat promise isas follows; and if the notes of the steno grapher nresent at the interview are pre served, I think they will bear me out : Upon it being represented to Gov. Scott by the committee, that lt would be a great hardship upon the people to pay (wo levies in ono year, especially when farm ing operations had been so disastrous the preceding year, he promised to postpone the enforcement of penalty for non-pay ment until the 1st of next March ; that he would have the tax books open, and in the meantime, if any tax-payers felt disposed to pay their taxes, they might have tho opportunity to do so. " The promise not to enforce the penalty for non payment until thc 1st of March was clear, reiterated, conclusive and un mistakable. Governor Scott, in assigning a reason for a change of the time of collection to November, did sav that prominent gen tlemcn in the State had recommended i change to the fall of >' * year, as a more convenient season fe crsons in some portions of the State ;,ay their taxes: but this had nothinr atever to do with his promise to po. no the penalty which was completo and unqualified. Such, at least are my recollections of . tho promiso" and the interview. Very respectfullv, vour obedient servant. M. C.

STONO SOLUBLE GUANO is pronounced to be As Good as the Best by persons who know of what they speak, and in every instance has given complete satisfaction. As to the results produced by the STONO DISSOLVED PHOSPHATE, composted with Cotton Seed or Stable Manure, I can think of no word to express them better than the one used by Maj. Coleman, in his certificate below appended, viz : They were truly wonderful. ? ?li*fl j %}? In every ins ance they produced effects equal fo the: niolt 'popow^nd costly fertilizers, and they-ought to b".ve done so. Although costing less than one-half as much as the most popular and favorite Manures, they are really better, for they have double, or nearly double, the quantity of Bono Phosphate, none of it having been displaced to supply Ammonia which the Cotton Seed or Stable Manure supplies abundantly; nor Salts to furnish Potash, an ample supply being liberated fremthe clay by the large quantity ol' free acid in these Phosphates;-a quantity so large that it will destroy Sacks in a very few days, compelling the Company, at more cost and trouble, to ship entirely in barrels. This is not so of any oiher Phosphate in the market. At the very outset this Company put their PRICES AT THE LOWEST FIGURES, being at the time and nearly so now, Fifty per Cent Less than the prices of other Companies. And these low prices made many persons, last season, reluctant to buy them, fearing that they would get an inferior article, when the fact was that the Company could afford to do it, for their Stock cost them just one hundred cents for the par dollar's worth, whilst the Stock in many of the other Companies cost the present owners from t hree hundred to four hundred cents for the par dollar's worth. The Stono Company is satisfied with, and expect only reasonable dividends OD, their Stock, and to pay the same dividend these high-priced Stocks must make from three to four times the profits the Stono makes, and hence must sell the fame article higher. The Stono grinds the bone and manufactures their acid upon the spot paying no freights to Baltimore or North and back again, which Companies out of the State have to pay, and of course charge to the consumer. The Stono Company manufacture, and recommend the _u?e of, a$d pay ment of freight on, nothing but fertilizers of the very highest grade, but if parties wish lower grades they will mix two Tons ot their T)issolved Phos phate with one ton of Pure Ground Phosphate, or equal portions of each, and ship in sacks, to Cask orders, for Thirty Tons or upwards, without extra charge. This will give a Phosphate at $25 or $22.50 per ton, -and perhaps of as high grade as many others on the market in Sacks. 4 It is desirable to get the Phosphate in the hands of consumers AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE, as the best results are obtained by its remaining in compost a sufficient, time, the longer the better; and again, as spring or planting time approaches, the greater the difficulty in getting transportation. That consumers may haul and compost it early, at this leisure time, or ders will be filled, .md if paid for in 60 or 90 days, at the Cash prices. Orders on time will be filled at the same price now as next April. This arrangement relieves the Company of the Storage and care of the Fertili zers, and this amounts to the same thing to them as keeping it on hand to supply an anticipated demand. I am apprehensive that ?he comparatively VERY LOW PRICES and .SUPERIOR QUALITY of these F?rtil izers will cause such a demand that the Company will not be able to supply those who put off to the last mo men^ ordering their supplies. Many persons are de:aying to order that they may induce their tenant? and croppers to use it. If they will remind them that if they use it their crops w.mld grow off afc one? ia the spring, and they would save the work ing always required c n uinnanured crops before they commence to grow; That the crop would shade the ground and be laid by with one or two other workings le-s in the summer ; That it will open two or three weeks earlier, and they could finish picking before very cold freezing weather ; That the cost per acre would only be from $1,25 to $2,25 ; That an increased yield of thirty to forty pounds of Seed Cotton per acre would, at present prices, repay them, and save the two or three workings and early picking ; Tba , in addition, the probabilities were (if seasons were only moderately favorable,) that the increased yield would be from Three to Six Hundred Pounds Seed Cotton per acre, on ordinary land, which, at present prices, would pay from $17 to $34 for every $1,50 to $2,25 invested in these Fer tilizers, I imagine they would have but little difficulty in inducing them to usc this fertilizer. This Fertilizer will not produce Rust on either Cotton or Grain Crops. It is highlv recommended for Small Grain. Try it. S. S. TOMPKINS, Agent. Edgefield, S.
