'' Expenditure and Taxation.
The enormous expenditures of
the present State Government com
pared: with the wise economy ot
ante bellum days, can he made ap
parent by a simple statement of
figures. Before the war, and even
as late as 1807, the current expenses
of the State Government did not
exceed ?400,000, yet the exhibit ot
the last fiscal year, as taken from
the Treasurer's books, shows that
over 1,000,000 have been received,
and that there is still a deficiency oi
more than ?1,250,000. Iu other
" .-words,;the cost of the State Gov
ernment for the fiscal year ending
31st October 1872, is ?2,850,000.
The largest item in the expendi
tures is the charge for Legislative
ovncnses. Before the war, the cost
?
* of a Legislative session was $40,
000, yet, during the last year there
-. have been paid out under this head
$541,267, and we are informed by
the Governor's message, that the
Outstanding pay certificates amount
to ?1320,000. The graud total then,
ie ?8G1,267, exclusive of the charges
for current and permanent print
in sr. Even according to the liberal
estimate of ?600, for the pay and
mileage of each member, the cost
,.of a session should not have ex
ceeded ?93,600, and the difference
between this sum and that above
~given, it would be difficult to ac
cdiiut for legitimately.
It is proposed to raise for the
expenses of-the "present- fiscal year,
+Vin /lofii-onneoa of the last, the
uuv ? ^
. sum of $2,250,000, which will re
: qnife a tax of fifteen mills on the
'dollar, estimating the vain* of the
property of the State at ?150,000,
000, But, according to the Comp
troller-General's report, as urged
??.by our friend of the Carolinian, the
' 'estimated value of this property is
"'$184,000,000, and trie proposed tax
~ woul$ raise five hundred thousand
dollars more than scemsto be designed
i by tbe General Assembly.
Some of oar Georgia exchanges
* are instituting a comparison be
tween the financial condition of the
two States, very much to the advan
tage of their own .State. They es
timate the co?t of the State Gov
ernment to the white Georgians
last year at $2.50 per head, and to
the white Carolinians, about 88.35,
v and look upon our condition as
somewhat desperate. The only
- hope for us is in- a reduction of the
ov???rwlifnrf>ti nrwl in this all nroD
erty-h'olders, be they Democrats or
.Republicans, are equally interested.
The question is not oue of party,
but of existence itself, of solvency
or bankruptcy, ot life or death.

- Oi-pciTTnNrs van the Debating
Society?Which is the best conn
try newspaper in the State? and,
Which are the handsomest men in
Abbeville ? If the Society lias any
trouble in deciding, we would beg
leave to suggest that they call in
the Editor of the Daily South Caro
'Vnian. Perhaps a determination of
the last might aid in settling the
first.' Beauty is a matter of taste,
perhaps editing a newspaper
may.be. Who knows?
!N". B. Perhaps there is still an
other question which might be
profitably discussed : Which is the
best mode of getting a complimen
tary notice from the Carolinian?to
get the editor to pen the notice, or
to write it oneself?

A New Fence Law.?A bill lnf
l been introduced in the IIou.se by Mr
I Joseph Crews of Laurens, which pro
jvides lor a complete alteration of oui
j present fence law?making it the du
: ty of the farmer to fence up his stock
and cattle, and not to fence out hi:
own and his neighbors. Tho censm
of 1S50 shows that tho cost of the
fenoinsr then existing iu this Stat<
amounted to $10,000,000, and four
j fifths of this sum would be saved b}
a law requiring every man to fenet
i up his stock. A law of this kind ha:
I proved very beuelieial in Virginia
and would add incalculably to tlx

Notice to the Public.
Seven years ago we adopted the plan
' sending our "Farmer" Cooking
Loves through the country with wagons,
y our traveling salesmen, in order to
ipplyawant long felt in the South,
id that each family might have an
jportunity of seeing if not purcnasing
ie of these indispensable household
tides. The abundant success of our
iter] rise throughout the States of Mis
mri, Kentucky, Tennessee and Geor
:a, and the universal favor with which
jr Stoves are received everywhere, con
inces us that in order to supply the
intiuued growing demand, we must
rgely increase our forces at the Foun
ry ; hence we have increased our daily |
auufacture of this one pattern to thir- J
and will still further increase it to!
fly if our trade continues to demand
; so you may at all times rely upon
jing supplied. Our salesmen, who
ill visit you, are authorized to give
me terms as though you made the
irchase direct from ourselves at the
oundry. We have butone price which
CJiat on the stove, and from that we
ever deviate.
This stove has no complicated arrange
ents such as dampers and inside Hue
iates as in all other stoves, hut is so
mply constructed that any one may i
n> it successfully. It is very heavy
ul made only of the best qualities of j
sw iron so mixed as to secure a toughy,
rnnrr nbitft. which vevcr cracks by lire.
To those persons in the Stove trade
ho think tlieir business will be ruined
i us, and who therefore oppose us and
isrepresent us and our goods at all
aces, we desire to assure them that
istead of being an injury to tliem, we
e doing them a benefit, by building up
business which has heretofore been
?glected, and by introducing an article
'household utility, which must ultim
ely bring them into general use in ev
y family. Respectfully You re,
CULVER BPOTHERS.

Messrs. Culver Brothers We
leerfully grant you permission to use
ir names as you see proper in com
endation of your Farmer Cooking
ovc, for we regard it as being altogeth
wu?timr stove in use. It is
1 that is to be desirable in a stove, for
is simple in construction, has no dam
;rs or lines to burn out, and bakes
jick and beautifully. "We bespeak for
)u a liberal patronage from our nefgh
>rs and friends, believing as we do that
)ne who purchase one of these stoves
ill ever regret it, but will consider it a
re prize in these days, when good
ioks are so hard to get. We think
>ur enterprise merits success and hope
