White Oak Grange had a meeting
Saturday, and installed now officers.
A county official, having been
:aked ,why ho had a box of yeast
powders in his oflice, replied that
he was trying to raise his salary.
A .hand lhtwing on Dr. W. E.
Aiken's place turned up a snake's
nest containing ton perfect eggs
.glued together. Two wore mashed,
and the remaining .eight woro
brought to Dr. Aiken's drug store
,on Monday.
Gen. John Bratton has been re,
quested to preparo an essay on
-"Cattle," and Maj. T. W. Woodward
another on "Fihh Culture," to be
read ut the next annual meeting 'of
,the tate Grange, at Anderson.
Mr. 'Richwe1 dson and Iisr Austin
have opened a free school, which
will be conducted on the object
system of teaching. This method
has the advantage of .interesting the
.pupils [aid making them think for
themselves. We hope it will be
generally introduced.
The.crop prospect in the county
is not promising. The unpropitious
weather in the spring and the long
drought combined to make tho cot
. ton very'backward, while the recent
.rains have given a great impetus to
grass. One of our'best farmers re
,ports that it took thirty two hands
.one day last week to clean seven
.acres. Favorable seasons from this
time put may, how.over, improve the
-prospoect.
In this warm weather, the pies
alto invlerable. It is said not to be
uncomm on to soa a man with a fork
tuggingat one end of a snap-bean,
and thrao or.four flies with their
hind legs lapped around the vinegar
cruet, clinging like gim death to
the other end. As for such small
articles of furnitui: as sugar dishes,
.jpqlasos pitchers, babies and fly
*tip , they are frequently carried
00' bodily by these omniyorqus in-.
sets.
REsOLrTmoN oF THIANKs.--At a
inoeting of the Gordon Light Infan .
try, held July 7, 1877, the following
reolution~s avere unanimously adopt
ed:
Resolved, That the thanks of this
corps be andl are hereby tendered to
the Histrionie Club and to the Musi
cal Association of Winnsboro, for
their genorqus donations to the
treasury of the copilpany.
Resov/ve((, That the for'egoing be
punblished inl THlE NEW'S AND HERALD.
By some giistake of the Liegisla
ture, the poll tax, which it intended
to apply to the school fund of this
year, will have to be applied to
claimp~ ptior to' Novenber', 1872.
This blunder will be of serious con
sequences to the schools, as the
whole f~umd is $100,000, exclusive of
p)oll tax. The Columbia Register
suggests that each !$ch.ool Com
mnissioner enjoin his county treasus
rer from paying out the 1)ol1 tax on
the old claims. We call the a,tten
tioni of Comminissioner Richard son to
this matter.
A CoRREcTION.-ThO CJolumbia Beg
iater' says:.
We are informed that only a short
time ago, wvhon the county treasurer
of Fairfield wont into office under
the appointment of Governor Hamp -
ton, he found $7,000 worth of old
sch ool claims uncancelled, which
had been paid by his predlecossor.
The Register is correct in regard
to the fact that this amount of school I
claims was uncancellod. It errs
in saying they were paid by the late
county treasurer, Mr'. W. M. Nelson.1
When Mr. Nelson camei into the
office he found these' undancelled
claims which had been paid'by Mr.
H. A. Smith. He boxed them up,
and kept them in his ofien. Al th 4m'
ilaime :ho paid himsei were Prom.pt.
ly cancelled. When Mr. Nelson
burned over the office to Mr. Davis,
[ho showed him those chims, and
proposed that ho and Mr. Davis
should together cancel them. By
tho advice of Judge Mackey, this
was done. No complaint has ben
made of Treasurer Nelson. Ho kept
his office in a business-liko manner,
.ad was an oflicient officer.

The Union Times has recently
