High Taxes. Mb. Editor : This appears lo be a fruitful year for this fruitful theme. Except iu the matter of salaries, com? pared with North Carolina and Georgia, we have seeu but little more thau broad assertions that our State government 1b extravagant and our taxes too high. Some have gone so far as to charge onr Governor with being largely responsible, and have named fit successors to remedy the evil. An examination of tbe matter might lead to a different conclusion. To reach it let us take up the Appropriation Act of the last Geueral Assembly and strike out every dollar which appears too much; then add such items as appear to have been improperly omitted, including such amount as should go to a separate Agricultural College or, if you please, Clemson College, and a short calculation will show just how many mills our taxes should be. We can never root out the evil by general charges of extravagance and waste. We must show just where the leaks are. We most look to tbe General Assembly. It is hoped that tbe candidates will cease their general char? ges and make them specific. If salaries are too high, say how much. They can apply it to those hereafter elected. If too poof to pension soldiers and widows, strike it out. If the Militia should board themselves and serve for nothing, say so. And so of the educational institutions and the rest The simplest rule of arithmetic will settle it. This lies at the doors of our legislators. Certainly not to the Governor, whose oath requires him to faithfully execute the laws which they enact. Onr candidates are all in favor of re? trenchment and low taxes. Now, just where they will retrench and where they will reform is the vital question.' It in? terests more than one Taxpayer. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Newbtjbg, N. Y., July 6".?Ann Thornton, a domestic, who came here from New York yesterday, last night walked out of the second Btory window of the house of J. P. Andrews, owner of the Academy of Music, who had recently employed her. The woman is a somnam? bulist. She received severe injuries, in? cluding a serious wound in the forehead three inches in length. Mrs. Thornton is about 45 years of age. After the fall she must have remained in the area of the house a long time, and when partial? ly, conscious, walked nearly a mile from the spot before she was discovered. San Francisco, Cal., Jnly 3.?The stage running between this place and Hiidreth was stopped yesterday after? noon by masked men.

Albany, Ga., July 5.?A serious difficulty took place at Jim Hartsfield's I mill, in Colquitt county, about twelve miles from Camilla yesterday. A large concourse from Colquitt, Camilla and East Mitchell county gathered to cele? brate the fourth with a picnic and barbe? cue. The Camilla brass band furnished the mnsic. Everything passed pleasant? ly until tbe barbecue was served at 2 o'clock. An altercation occurred between two Mitchell and Colquitt county boys. The lie was passed and resented. Friends interfered, when one man was bit and knocked down. Instantly all was a scene of confusion. Pistols, knives, clubs, boards and every kind of weapon was pressed into service. About thirty shots were exchanged. The scene was heart rending. Women and children were weeping for fear their loved ones would be killed; others were flying in every direction. A. H. Jones, a prominent stock raiser of Mitchell county, was*shot [ in the-left breast three inches below the collar bone by Allison Collier. The I wound will.likely prove fatal. Collier was shot throogh tbe right ear and badly beaten over the bead. Jim Jones, of Colquitt county, was shot in the back between the shouldei blades and' had bid upper lip badly disfigured by a piece of scantling. His wounds are considered dangerous. A. J. Moree was reported I badiy cut in several places. A lady, in attempting to escape, was nbot through the hair. During the confusion tbe band stand broke down and the instrum ents ruined. Tbe band struck a bee line for home. Chicago, IIIr July 9? A destructive storm struck tbe town of Edwardsborg, Indiana, about 11 o'clock last night, creating Sad havoc throughout tbe village. The town consists of about 700 inhabi? tants, and contains between 250 and 300 buildings. It is located on the Grand Trunk railway,-173 miles from Chicago, on the shores of diamond lake. Tbe wind struck the village with terrific force, overturning aud carrying away many of the bouses. There is not a business house in the place but that is damaged to a more or Jess extent and the town is almost a complete wreck. A large and handsome hotel that bad just been com? pleted and had not yet been furnished was moved about fifteen feet from its foundations and completely wrecked. Several dwelling houses were unroofed and a number of barns destroyed, leaving horses and cattle unhurt. No one was injured as far as known. The little lake was turned into a veritable sea and pleas. ore boats that were upon it were lifted bodily out of the water and thrown up high and dry on the tbe land. Concobd, N. C, July 7.?The Concord Times to-day, contains an account of an occurrence which has stirred up tbe citizens of No. 11 township, this county. One day this week a daughter of Mr. Henry Poplin, of that towoBbip, suddenly became deathly sick and In a few mo ments vomited a full grown frog. In the meantime a physician was sent for, bnt arrived only in time to see tbe frog bop? ping lively about on tbe ground. The girl stoutly affirms that she vomited the animal, and her statement is borne out by every member of her family. EiPGETfay,.S. 0., July 7.?J. B. Balcb, a young white man, 22 years of age, died yesterday of hydrophobia, resulting from I the bite of a cat Balch was born apd raised in York County, near Bock Hill, and for some time past has been in charge of B. H. Corn well's plantation, fifteen miles Northeast of Ridge way, on the VYateree River, in Fair field County. One day last fall, while on a visit to his home in York County, he espied a handsome cat on the side of a road along which he was walking, which he thought would make an acceptable present for bis sister. He approached the cat, which seemed perfectly docile and permitted him to take it in his hands without offering re? sistance; but as soon as it was lifted from the ground it became furious and bit Baleh through the hand. Balch killed tbe cat and went on bis way, thinking no more of the matter. With the exception of a sore hand for a few days he exper? ienced no ill effects from the bite, and bad dismissed the matter from his mind. On Thursday morning of last week Balch was taken suddenly ill, experiencing great difficulty in breathing. Dr. Linder was summoned, but by the time be arriv? ed the young man was unable to swallow anything, and soon went into violent convulsions, exhibiting all the symptoms of hydrophobia. Convulsion followed convulsion, and the physician's skill was powerless to relieve his sufferings. When not in a convulsion he was perfectly rational, and piteously begged his friends and attendants,to k; 11 him and puj an end to his sufferings. His paroxysms were so violent that he had to be kept tied hand and foot all the time. He lingered in intense agony a week, until Friday evening, when death came to his relief. Mr. Balch was a highly esteemed and an exemplary yonng man.?Special to Columbia Register.

C, July 9.?The boldest escape of convicts ever recorded here took place this afternoon, within a mile of the city. A Guard named Beagan bad in charge a squad of five convicts, who were blasting rock on an island in Broad Biver. The rock was for the Columbia, New berry & Laurens railroad bridge. Two of the convicts were Bufus Young, a life prisoner from Fairfield, and Joe Moore, of Edgefield, serving ten years for arson. When knocking off time came, Moore and Young got in the boat and as the guard stepped in, they seized him and threw him in the river, Moore taking bis rifle. The guard attempted to draw his pistol but he was disarmed of that. Two of the other three convicts were life prisoners, but they would not join the desperate men. One of them went with Moore and Young to the shore and brought back the boat for the guard and the other convicts. The escaped men are being pursued. They are armed and desperate and it is probab e there will be bloodshed if an attempt at capture is made.?Special to the Qreenvilk New. , Orr's Biflep. To the Editor of the Abbeville Medium : What about the reunion of our. old regiment this summer? Can you give us any information as to when it will take Elace, and what is to be done. I have eard quite a number of the survivors say that they would like to attend the next reunion if they could "find ont when it would be. There was a meeting held at Sandy Springs last August, No notice was given in time in our county press, consequently 'very few from Cos. B and G attended the meeting. I think the Survivors' Association should be kept up, and have annual reunions. It is certainly a pleasure to me to meet my old com? rades whether mutual or not, mine is none the less so. I hope to meet unite a number at the next reunion.- What say you Cos. B and G ? Let us turn out in force and meet with the companies of Anderson, Oconee and Pickens and Co. H of Marion county also. Could we not get up an excursion to Bichmond this summer? If we could make up a party of fifty or one hundred men, no doubt cheap excursion rates could be secured. Many would like to revisit some of the br.ttlefields again, when there is not much danger to life and limb. Around Bichmond would be more healthy than 1862,1864 and 1865. Gettysburg will have a rousing time this week. I wish I was there. I feel reconstructed enough to meet the boys in blue without getting very mad. DlNVIDDIE. What Small Farmers Can Do, Man naturally wants the earth, or at least that part of it which adjoins his particular estate; but he makes a great mistake when he engages in farming on an extensive scale. Prince Krapotkioe, who has made a careful study of the subject in France, gives a number of instances in the coun? try districts around Paris, where compar? atively ignorant farmers have made small market gardens enormously productive. One farm is mentioned by him of two and seven tenths acres which produces annually 125 tons of market vegetables of all kinds. The owner of this farm by building walls to protect bis land from cold winds, by whitening the walls to secure all possible radiated heat, and by the constant and judicious use of fertili? zers has bis little farm in a productive condition from the first of January to the last of December. By simple and inex Eensive means he has practically located is farm in the tropics. A French gardener does not care what kind of soil he starts with. He wonld be satisfied with an asphalt pavement, because he makes bis soil, and so mucb of it that he has to sell it to keep his place from being gradually raised above the }evel of the surrounding country. When a farmer once understands the laws of chemistry be has no difficulty in making soil that contains the materials needed for plant life. Prince Krapotkine speaks of oue gar? dener who has covered half an acre with a glass roof, and run steam pipes supplied by a small boiler under the ground shel tered by this covering. The result has been that he has cut every day for ten months from 1,000 to 1,200 large bunches of asparagus, a product which under or? dinary conaitions would require sixty acres of land. But this result has been surpassed by an English farmer, who has made a one acre mushroom farm yield him an annual income of $5,000. Under the French method of culture it would be possible to make one square mile support 1,000 human beings. On such a scale of productive capacity this country would support a population of 8,000,000,000. Even when"we knock off a fair per cectage for mistakes, exagger? ations and unfavorable conditions, it nil) be seen that we are in no danger of hav? ing an over crowded population for many centuries to come. There is no reason why our eastern farmers should go West for more elbow room. Their great drawback is not the want of more land ; it is the possession of too much land. In some localities in Switzerland the traveler on the plains or In the valleys looks up to a towering precipice 2,000 feet above his bead. When he labori? ously climbs to the summit, expecting to ?nd nothing but a bare rock, he sees before hm the. smiling expanse of pro? ductive fields, with' pretty cottages dotting the landscape. The peasant proprietors started with only the naked rock under them. They carried the rich soil of the valleys in baskets on tbeir backs up the steep mountain side, and went fa work with a will until they transformed thejr sterile patches into blooming gardens. The success of European farmers wifh all the forces of nature against tbem should be an inspiring lesson to our til? lers of the soil. The American small farmer has only to unite brain work with hand work to make himself inde Eendent and comfortable if not rich, ut without this union of the brain and hand there can be no great and permanent success,-r-Atlanta Constitution.

There is nothing equal to them as Blood Purifiers and Liver Regulators. But I wish to state how remarkably tbey cure rheumatism, and how easily i I was affected by rheumatism of the legs. My business (wholesale fish dealer) naturally leads me to damp places. I was so bad I could not walk, and at night I suffered fearfully; I tried Balaams, Sarsaparillas and all kinds of tinctures, but tbey did me no good and I was afraid of being a cripple. 1 finally commenced using Bbandbeth's Pills. I took two every night for ten nights, then I began to improve I con? tinued taking them for forty days and I got entirely well. Now whenever sick, I take Bbandbeth's Pills. They never fail. J. N. Hakrib. ? The immigration into the United States for the fiscal year ending June 30 exceeded that of the previous year by 550,000 persons. More than 560,000 peo? ple were received from foreign lands and given homes and employment, mostly in the thinly settled sections of the West and Northwest, This number has never been exceeded save in the years 1881, 1882 and 1883, and the indications are that the rate of increase will be continued throughout the coming year. There is no sign of diminution in the flow. S PHOTOGRAPHS! OP ALL KINDS AT THE MAXWELL GALLERY. COPIES and Enlarging for all who wish old Pictures copied, views of Build? ings, &c.

I The American Fruit Preserving POWDER AND LIQUID. WE have been handling this valuable preparation for several years with great success, and have no hesitation in re? commending it to our friends. Some few have not been successful with it, but we are confident it is because they failed in some respect to follow directions. If dl* rections are properly followed there is no doubt of its efficacy. We have many re? commendations and certificates from our people here in the County, but for the present will mention only a few. Dr. it. A. Heid, of the well-known and reliable Drug firm of Simpson, Iteid & Co., says: Messrs. Hill Bkos?Srns: With much satisfaction I recommend your Fruit Pre? serving Liquid and Powder. .1 have tried the same with tomatoes, plums, apples, peaches and cherries. Find all the above perfectly preserved, with the natural taste of fruit-i vjtb"Po unpleasant taste-what? ever. . y??rs, '? - R. A. Reid. Messrs. Hill Bao??Dear Sins: Al? though we used your Preserving Fluid with misgivings, we have no hesitancy now in saying the fruit and vegetables have kept perfectly, and without any unpleas- j ant flavor. The great advantage over the i ordinary method of canning is, that the Fluid is more reliable, keeps larger pack? ages, and they can be opened and re-open? ed without injury to the fruit, &c. E.
