In this issue of the Banner are two interesting accounts of Fourth of July Celebrations?one at Willitigton? the Mthcr at Sulphur Springs, Cokesburv. At Sulphur Springs Capt.

The* death of President Taylor is announced in that issue. In the paper there ure some four or five condensed news items, but mo locals or editorials appear. It was made up of coriimunicalious, extracts and advertisements. Very few of those who figured at Abbeville, Willington or Cokcsbury thirty years ago ate still living. Keiuier, where wiJi we be thirty years hence? Think about it. Of all the names given above, Very few are known to the younger part of tho community. Mr. II. T. Tusten has l>een in business for thirty-one years, Mr. John Knox is the next oldest, who commenced in Mr; L. ll.Itussell next took place among the business men about 1S5S. Mr. J; L>. Chalmers then established a marble yard on the lot where his present residence was afterwards erected. As tar as we remember these are all the men who arc still in business, and who were in business in IS08. Enterprise The Spartanburg Herald of Wednesday, July 6, gave telegraphic account of the attempted assassination of the President. We cut the mine thing out of the A'etcn and Courier, and published it on the same day that the Spartanburg Herald published his telegraphic news. They had a funny timo at one of tho churches in Laurensville last Sunday. One of the audience in attendance paid marked attention to the preacher, which furnished the boys an unusual degree ot amusement, but the unkindest cut was rtiade by tho Herald in alluding to "said" devout listener as un imbecile. If attention to a preacher is evideneo of imbecility how would Abbeville stand ? The Herald saj'fc: An unfortuuate imbecileatten Ut?U Cliuruij 1(1 turn JVII oai/untu I%4tcruooii last, and was a source of some merriment to certain other youths in attendance. -'i ho said imbecile paid marked attention to the preacher, anil otherwise deported himself in a manner suitable to such an occasion. A Liberal RbwahO;?Tile PreKs and Banner will pay a liberal reward for a suitable substitute for the common hea lto death notices: "Sad Death." The substitute must not contain more than six words. We do not intend to take a copy right for the new beading, but will grant the free use of it to all our exchrnges. Coffee on tub TltKK.?Jfot many persons, we fancy, know how cotfee looks on the tree, atitK"the lithographed picture of a cotfee tree, which we Were shown this week and which Thurbor & Co., the great coffee merchants of New York< present to dealers who sell their cotTee, is both ornamental and instructive. 3t. TnE article in this week's issue of the Press and Banner giving "What Ben Hill Tl?:n!<s," was put in type for last week, but owing to the crowded condition oi our columns, it did not appear in due time. This accounts for its appearance at so late a date. ?*In Lancaster the force of holding an eleet'on on tho fence question is heiiiR gone through with during this hot weather.

Onr beloved Teacher and President Rev. J. I. Bonner, I). 1>., is no more? his work on earth is finished?his once busy hands are quietly folded 011 his silent breast; the mound in the church vard alone tells where his dear body calm IV rests: but his spirit is with the* "lour i and twenty elders"' around God's throne j in light and glory, worshipping the Sa I viour, waoso uospci ne so loveo 10 proI Haitn, and whom ho over placed before j us, as "nil oursalvation and all our do:sire.

JCLY 9th, 1881. j Editors Prem and Banner: Latterly. so much has been said about"Tax! Ikying" by Vou gentlcim-n of ihc press, and . a few corroS|x?mUMitn; that I propone to sub1 mlt a few thought*, not to exonerate trio I "dodger." t?iitto question whetlicr theevil has I prevailed, as charged, among the bona llde ! tax-payers of the State. The whole state has I been accused. 1 need not go tieyond the limits of Abbeville bounty. And if our aftable, polite and very excellent auditor, h;is comj pleted his duties to the satisfaction of those vrlio think the citizens of old Abbeville have defrauded the st?te out of some of her Just j dues, and has enhanced ills assessment of personalty percepUihty.no one will crumble; out II n?ik his attention to a lisw suggestions and | facts and Some figures, that I bedeve hud tie conned Over before setting off on his tour of : assessment, he would n it have been no soilci1 tons about enhancing the price Of the proper| ty assessed. | The Constitution says. Declaration of Rights, j Section :W. "AH property subject to taxation | shall be taxed in proportion to its value." Article i. Section &t, or the Constitution I says, "All taxes upon property, real or perj sonal, shall be laid upon the actual value of | the property taxed, as thesame shall be aOcer! tained by an assessment made for Hie purpose jol' laying Midi tax." Arti.-le 9,Section I, of he Constitution says, j "The Central Assembly filial I provide by law | ror a tinilonn an I cqun raie 01 HH.se^Miieiu and taxation, and shall prescribe such regulations as shall secure a just valuation for taxation of all properij, real; personal, and possessory, except mines ami mining claims, tlie proceeds of which alone shall be taxed : and also excepting such properly as may be exempted by law fbr municipal. educational, Uterary, scientific, religious or churltable purposes." The Constitution further provides for a tax1 , ntion upon all personal ami real property Jbr i the purpose of creating a public sfclit>oi fund, and requires the Legislature to have a valuation and assessment of all lands anil itnpiove ! ments thereon "every fifth year." Further 'than this theI'ohstilution says uothiogabout levying taxes. Now let us look a little Into these organic clauses. "All property eiihjict to taxation shall be taxed In proportion to Its value." What value? Why, Its actual value as ascertained by an assessment made for the purpose J of laying such tax." Not for the purpose of I sale, hut for the purpose of raising a certain amount of money. Not for the purpose of j testing what this or that species of property Will tiring In ma>kct. liut for the purpose i simply o! c'eiiring an annual debt of the | state. And all that our organic law requires I N, that this assessment sha 1 be "by law of i uniform and equal rate." In obedience to these constitution!'! exactions the lxjclslature requires till personal property to be assessed at ' the usual selling price," and If there be no such priee, then tne assessor is endowed with tlto arbitrary power of "tlxlng a value thereon at such priee as it Is believed could be obtained therefor In money at such time and place." ileal estate is assessed, we have seen, only every flvc years; personal property annually. I take It, that the conunitlee of ways and means In the Legislature, aggregating the known, incidental, and cotltlrre??? expenses I of the government estimates ,.?t per eentaxe of taxation upon this loosely assessed property of the people Is necessary to be levj fed in order to tulse the aggregated amount. | Thus far the uuiformlty Is complete. But us we net down into detail certain ottlcla.'s as] scss the lands of one county at one price; oth; ers that of another county at another price, j and so on throughout the State. Tills Is as it I should be. fir wt o would exchange a plan la* ; tlon in Abbevll'eor Anderson for the same area in boil hole swamps, or the pine barrens j of Georgetown, or even in tho fertile lands of j Briton's Neck ? Consequently we have the ) lands of Abbeville avera&d at S-i.62 per acre, i wliilc the :ands of Charleston rundown toon| ly 81.82 per acre; Marion to $253, and Georgetown s i low that It seems the Auditor was I ashamed to make any return whatever. Now It cannot be charged against the parties that assess these lands, that they dodtced the taxes, for they do not have the taxes to i fty. : and yet there is great d spurity between these assessed iands in price. Wherefore then ' should the e not be a similar disparity In all i personal property? I In instance, I may have a watch I pave i ?"2")0 for, and return its taxable value at ?125 because it Is second hand. You Inay have a j watch that is an heirloom and for which your ! ancestor did not originally pay over il23, but for which you would not take ?200, though Its I iCal value is not overslOO; Is it tax dodging incline. Ol us 11 Tre reiuni our wmciieM respectively at $r.'3 ami>73? I thlttk not. Alid so with every thing else personal. Let us compare those Mime counties as to the relative value of horses and mules. In Abbeville horses average 351. M: in Charl'stou 335. KV: In Marrion S3MW. Now can any nr.' who loiiiWK anything about the suite and its property< venture to charge there was lax dotigint: thiou^hout these three average counties ? I I,et us loo'c ottUe mulo?. They averaged in j Abbeville W2.:$l: In Charleston stLVA): and In ! Marriott $63rJ& Neither can I see any tux jd<d:lm: In tlie di-pirity here shown. Tne i splendC'l mules earned to the city of < harleston f >i diayinv purposes accounts for the high average vulua Ion there,' while the tact ol j Miirlon l-elni( of lighter lands than Abbeville *i will easily account for her having In June iipparent.y, and asi-etsubly more valuable mules than *e have. I have gone through the returns made, Mr. Kditor, to the Comptroller General, and so far as 1 could estimate it, I dont believe thelfar iners generally are, liable to the charge Of'"Tax ! Dodging" in making returns of their proper : ty. \V hat those Have uune Who have surplus deposit* on hand, or those who hrndle (he j merchandise of the country, i have no means , of judging, hut J assert without fear of r<-futa; Hon. that the personality of litis county, and : I believe of the entire Slate lias been relurned with a value and a uniformity commensu! rate with the behest of the constitution, and | In accordance to the law. 1 I would not. if I were a horse and mule I denier, auree to buy and pay for the horses of Abbeville county atan average of $51.31 nor | the mules at an average of $5231. My own 1 plantation wan a lair average; and while my i mules were assessed hliih, 1 returned a mare sixteen years old. another eleven.an unhroke ttlly. a yeaning calf aud a suckling colt, and these brought down t lit? average on the plani tatlon touboutS55. and it is as much ur any man would givocash fortiie lot. I had a neighbor who had two "cracking" , mules assesed ttwny up hi?:h. be had two : fifed man on his place who had to assist their : horses to get out of bed every morning. The ' average was below the general average. I T rrvto riwon t !v tnrn/luvu <i rnlvi l 1 r t n r? n | miles along n public road, anil found no many ' plows running tliut 1 mude an assesment ol i the teams as I rode alone, 1 could uot get It I ! up to tlie re| orted general avetage | I have mude no estimated any oilier kind nl r' properly, but presume Ittwould bo tho same ' result. As to cattle I know It would, and have no need of stronger argument than a rel' mark made to me a few days ago by a gentleman from Northern Georgia who was sojour| I nlng lhS. ('. visiting the home and associate* 1 i of tili* boyhood. He had Just come to AbbeI | \llle from a section of the 8tate where they I fence up the crops and turn out the stock and he Mild, "I have not since I have been In "' S. until I reached old Abbeville, been oilerI j eu a glass of mi:k; I have seldom seen butter i j and at many appaiently happy homes, I did i not even get milk for my coffee," What val ; uation do you think a tax payer, an assessor, . a K-lltor or a Legislator would place upon cat "! tic that gave no milk aud spuplled you will I no butter. ' t But I have spun you out a long letter. an<! j not said half what I Intended, for I wanted ;tc . i give you my views of taxation, (and may poe ..! slbly do so at seine future time. Resoectfully. I No Tax Dodoer. The Worcrmcnt at TVashinjrton Still Lives. Philadelphia Time*. I There has been a good deal of mystification in the public mind over a quotation in on< of the Washington dispatches from the Presi i dent's bedside to Mrs. Garfield: "God relgrn I and tlie Government at Washington stll lives." The phrase recalls one of the mosl dramatic epochs of the nation's lite. It was the drwidial 13th day of April, 1*65. A vast, tumultuous and passionate orowd wan gathered near the As lor House, hoping that the tatnl news w ft* not true. Butler attempted tc pacify ttie mob-feeling that could be seen rising. Two unfortunate wretches had run counter to the sentiment of the mass by insinuating that tha deed was well done. | Tbey were Instantly trampled to the sem! blance of humanity. Then the crowd, gloatItig the first draught of blood, shouted: "Tc i the World office. The rush began and the [ result would have been frightful; But at the rtioment a flag was seen In the hands of a tall 1 : figure on one of the balconies. The surging > i crowd was checked. They grouped about j the epot and then a peculiar voice, loud, cleat arid measured like a parson'8 Moke out lri '' this astonishing apostrophe: | "Fellow-citizens! Clouds and darkness are round about. Him! His puvlltibn Is dark waters and clouds of the skies! Jlistlfce apd 1 Judmentaro the establiShmentof His throne! Fellow citizens! God reigns and the Government at Washington still lives!" The effect was lhflnlte!y beyond the tnere word*. The half preacher-like tofio of the > speaker, his large, earnest eyes and enraptured visage produced an Indescribable effect upon the seething, ousMonate crowd.,- All thought of carnage vanished. Everybody Said, "Who is he?'' It was James A. Garfield, arid It was fit Indeed, that his confidential " friend should use tbe lino in telegraphing the President's calamity to his wife. * V Real Estate Transfers. 1 L, W.
