The Tax Collections. ~ ? -I" ma H.of (?,? If rum ireanuiri I cum n? lull II vui? ...? tax collections have been exceedingly goodlretter than ever before. Nearly all taxes have been paid. 8,616 receipts have been Issued. The largest number of reeetpts issued any previous year on closing books was 8,50!>. The inconvenience of the usual rush at the ' close of the time was not apparent. The pe > pie met the Treasurer on his rounds and have paid up with very little trouble. The Treasurer seemed pleased at the promptness and cheerfulness with which the people hav< paid their taxes this year. I A worn 10 I'roRKen. If you wish to build up the town don't stand l(J|y by and talk about what ought to be done, but put your hand to the wheel and make It what you wish It to be. So long ns you suggest and do nothing so long will the ^ town hold on to its lethargy. To think !s very good, but what good is thought without action? It is fruitless to stand still and blame somebody else. Go to work yourself to bring about the desired result. The cT& X. R. R. The Railroad Surveyors have been actively at work in town during the last week, and two line* have been run?one by Mr. DcBruhl's, the other by the Academy. It i* thought that one of these lines will be adopted by the company. The outlook for the road seems to be satisfactory. Our people are glad to see the surveyers at work, and will hail with delight the day when dlrt-throwlng I will be commenced. ? Sold. A theatrical troupe manager telegraphed to Major Zeigler, Clerk of the Court, yesterday to know If he could get the Court House next week. After consulting with our people the Major concluded to let him have It, and so telegraphed to that effect. The aforesaid manager could not be found. The telegram was returned, and the M^or was called upon to pay expenses. Sick. Conductor T. J. Syfan has been Sick abed for several days. Mr. T. W.

Mr. Ramey Hughes of our town, who has been absent for several months, fllllne a position as fireman on one of the passenger I trains on the C. & G. road, is at home to spend a few days of the Christmas holidays with lilfather. We are glad to note that Ramey is doing well. The time is not distant when he will be a "runner," in charge of an engine He will win success iu his chosen line of business, and he deserves any good fortune that may befall him. Miss Williamson*, who has been in Mr. Bell's millinery store for several weeks, has completed her contract, and will now spend n tew days with her friend, Mrs. R. E. Hill, before leaving for home In Baltimore. The people here have been much pleased with her, and she expresses herself as delighted with her trip to Abbeville. It will be a matter of regret to his many friends to learn that Dr. J. W. Widemnn of Due West, Is not doing so well, owing to the unfavorable symptoms Dr. Mnbry "and Di Neuffer of this place were sent for ye<terdav evenlne. J)r. Neutter went last night and Dr IMabry wlfl go this morning. The ladleeof Donalds will give a hot supper for the benefit of the Methodist church on Wednesday night, December 2*. They would like to see all citizens of the town and surrounding country present. They will hav.' plenty for all who may come. Let no one foreet the Cantata which com^s off In the Court House next Monday nlt:ht. The former splendid success of the Cantata club is the best evidence that this perform ance will be one of exceptional attractions. The last page of "W. L.

The Legislature will adjourn on the 23rd after having done but little harm. They were considerate enough to kill nearly every measure or general Interest. It was chiefly local laws that got through. Mb. Calhoun Marshall, one day last I week, when using a drawing knlte, gave himself a severe cut on the knee cap from which he has been confined to the house ever since. Mr. C. h. Sondley banked fifty bushels of turnips and saved them nicely. It would be well If others would follow his example. Turnips are good for man and beast. Messrs. Frank Calhoun and Humphrey Graves of Augusta have built a store house at Magnolia, and will open a large stock of ?oods at that place. Mr. J. S. Hammond will spend Chistmas away from home. He will visit friends In Columbia. Florence, and Aiken. Pleasant Crip to him. Up to the present time the shipment of cotton from Donalds has been 2,800 bales against 12,890 for the whole ol the preceding year. Mr. E. T.

Absolute Kt-sl in its Trcntinont. . From a Lecture b)/ Dr. II. C. II'ootl, before the \ j University of Pennxtf/vania Hospital Train-1 iiiff School for Xiimm. The first tiling that wo learn in studyingj (yphoitl fever Is that in the majority of' in-1 stance* it causes death by producing exhau<-j tinn. We learn also that sometime* il ki N J (>y producing disease of the bowe's Willi j ulceration, and that a little purl tele of solid I food get) is if; upon one of these ulcers mny I tear open the bowel with fatal results. Wei ' study the dangers and sec how they arc to b>*, I- ;-l ..I .. I t . iv-iiliitiil l??V|.r U^UIUl'U. U1 II I IIIVKUOsV^r >M , I exhaustion is the most serious. The success j till treatment <>i typhoid fever rest nut upon I the adminKtrniion of drugs, although thl<j in.iv be im|>oit.itit; noi upon (lie meeting of this and tluit symptom as it arises, although j the -kill t'n 11 physician does thi<: but. it rests especially upon the fact iliat tlic disease lias! ict-n recognized early, and iliat every grain of strength lias doi'ii hu-band d, so that in the I coining weeks, when ii. shiil be needed, it' shall i>e present. I have often compared a j patient with typhoid lever to a ship on a! const in a -lorin. The ship is being driven on I to the points of rocks, hut beyond the jnMin- j promontory is smooth water and safety. If theeaplain ean carry the ship around thai Jutting rock, it makes no diiler-nce how cl-i.se lie may eto it, if h* bat clears it lie Is sale So in typhi'id fev.r the e often comes a j time when it i? the lest grain of streiig.ii that holds tin* iiiiin as lit* crosses by the edge ot the op n gr?ve. If > 011 in hold him for a teiv hours until a Utile strength be gained lie is s ife. in every case of sueli disease it hehoove-1 y>>u to remember that ?very particle on strength that you ran save is perhaps life to that patient. The moment (h it tliere come.? the bllghest indication of the approaching storm tuc patient, should be put to bed. kept quiet, and not allowed to make any motion or exertion. Many a doetororders absolute rest, and the nurse perhaps thinks that she is carrying out her Instructions, and the patient dies because the doctor Is careless and the nurse is ignorant. Under these circumstances absolute rest nuaus nb?olutc rest. It means that the patient should he put to bed and not allowed to get out for anything. The patient may feel fairly stromr, and will insist that he can get out of bed for the natural acts of the body. The patent Is to be kept in bed, and under no circumstances, as you value your professional honor, do you let him rise. If the bouxe Is on tire throw him over your snouiaer twiu rarrj imu uui, Uiu uu nut. UMU< liiin torlsn by himself. > ever allow these patients to make their own toilet. If a buth Is ordered by the physician which apparently involves a waste of *tren?th, see to it that it is your strength ami not the patient's that is wasted. Do not lei the patient do anything whatsoever. Do not let him make any exertion. The writing of a letter may mean death. A man may write a letter to his wifo which is his own death warrant. This application of rest In the treatment ol disease goes further. In all diseases the powers of the nurse should be directed to the sav ing of tne strengui <u mc pnueiii, miu juu should remember that there is a mental worry which Is more exhausting than physical exercise. Mere uncieanlincss, a low voice to a deaf patient, a loud, high-pitched voice to a patient whose hearing Is aculo, failure to quickly understand the whims and caprices of a sick man or woman, are tormenting things which take away the rest and destroy the life of the patient. We talk about unclearly nurses, and we all know the type ol the nurse which was pinned up by Dickens for iiII ages, as the entomologist pins up the beetle and watches its unclean movements; hut the unclean nursels scarcely as bad as the fussy nurse. A nurse who is conttnually shifting the blinds, moving about thqroom when there is no need for it, asking the patient whether he wants this or that, or Is excessively active and alert, is a great evil. Now, nurses ol the University Hospital, let me say one more word to you. I think that your calling is one of the highest to which a Human ueing ever unvoted ucrseu. >uu nmember that the Hi bio tel)R us that "He ijivelh His beloved sleep;" but sleep is rest. So will you, I trust, comport yourself that In the future, as you go from house :o house, It shall be said of you, "She gave me rest." RAW ONION POULTICES TO THE FEET. ' An Alleged Cure fop Typhoid Fever, which the Doctor* Havn't Found Out?It In Kni<l that Onions will t'nre Dropsy, too. Mr, John R. Cox, a citizen of Baltimore, nnhiiciwc the following communication in the Ralhmore American, of that city : "Some time since a gentleman informed me ihat lie knew of several persons who had heen cured of typhoid fever, by the application of mashed raw onions to the feet. The patients were so ill that they were not expected to live over a few hours, six la?'ge oalons were pounded to pulp and applied to 1 the feet ot the first patient He was ri lleved in a short time and cot well. The second case was a few weeks later and the result was 1 equally satisfactory. The first opporlunity 1 had I tried it upon a colored hoy during one of my visits to tljo house of reformation for colored children. He was ill with typhoid ] fever. I named the nutter to General Horn, ! who immediately ordered t:>e application. In 1 a few hours he uot to sleep; rented well and ' recovered. The next opportunity was that oi ' a son of a friend (.1 mine in our city. I called to see hitn on business when lie informed me | ills sol) was very ill with typhoid pneumonia. He had been dHiriotis i..r a aeekor more, and required constant watching for le;?r he might tin himself barm. I advised him to try ihe , onions. He did so and thus speaks of It: ' Immediately on its application he began to improve ami continued until lie Anally re- ' covered." Perhaps they might be efficacious In oilier forms, fix* reined> is simple and j1 a trial ia any case can do no harm. They havecured dropsy. Mr. Ralph Brunt, a very respectable gentleman, informed methat | his wife had suffered for a lone time with) dropsy. .She was swelled from her head to l.er feet. She was attended by different phy- ' slcians, who finally said : 'Mr. Brunt we can 1 no no more ; your wife cannot live. We can sr.ve temporary relief by tapping her.' His wlf<* declined the operation, as It would but prolong her sufferings. At this time his at tentlon was called to a paragraph in a newspaper in which a gentleman made the state ment that he hud been cured of dropsy by eating oiilous. His physicians had told him that he could not live. Out- day he wanted 10 eat some raw onions and did so. After eating < them he left better and tried some tnore. He then made it a rule to eat six a day, and in a lew weeks lie was well. He felt It his duty to i? publish it for the benefit of others. Thus Mr. Brunt knew of it. He called the attention ol Ills wife to It. She was willing to try it; did so, nnd at the end of one week discharged her nurse, attended to her household dutii-s, and was so reduced in size that her friends could scarcely recognize her at first sight. She II vf?d for more than thirty years afterwards, and died some two years a^o over eighty years of as:e. If tl.e foregoing proves the means of benefiting any one, Hie < nly regret I will feel, will be that I did not attend to the promptings of duty sooner." MOUNT CARMEL'S CHRISTMAS GREETINGS !

GRAY-, DON WITH HAVING SAID UGLY THINGS. .111'. <>rit.v<lo? Kmphuticnlly OonsoHj (hp Correctness of tlio Klory Publishes! by tlio "Sen* nnd C'oii-j riiT." We herewith copy Mr. Graydon's den in 1 of! tlio correct neas of the report In reference loI himself which recently appeared in the Xrws mul Cnwii-r. The charge Hint he h:>d k;< id that i "it won1 <1 he a snori thins: li nn I lie scarreu j ami wounded Confederate soldiers were j dead," is so absurd and so ?'onI rary to every j instinct of common humanity that we presume that few persons, outside of envious j contemporaries or Jealous competitors, could he found anywhere, to believe th? foundation j for the report to be anything more than an j idle word, but which, to one not a part lei pant In the conversation, may have seemed something else than what it was. The reference to the fact, that lie was a candiilate for Olrenlt .Judge in a race in which a Confederate battle-scarred veteran was successful?in conncetion with this alliilr?like a motion to reconsidor in the Legislature, seems to have been made for tlie purpose of clinching In the minds of the people the erroneous meaning of Mr. Graydon's words. But whatever may have beer. Mr. Graydon's word*, and whatever may have been his meaninir, it strikes us that Mr. Gasque's conduct in the matter is nothing to his credit. Mr. Oraydon says: "The article referred to "would make it appear that I deliberately in "suited a maimed Confederate veteran, who is "an offlee-holder. I was talking to my two "friends, and did not know that such a man "was in earshot." But it seems that Mr. Hasque, by accident or otherwise, overheard enough of the conversation in which Mr. Graydon was engaged to be offended, and then, without asking for an explanation or giving Mr. Graydon an opportunity to make 1-1??If ??,1 ??KlloV>nr? o dalnmnnl which, wherever believed, must be damaglne to the last degree." This, too, after Mr. Gasque acknowledges that Mr. Mars had told him that "Mr. Gravdon said that ho was misunderstood." When an effort is made, which has in It the evidence of malice, and the appearance of an outrageous wrong, we have for the Injured party, the sympathy which the act would excite In the mind of any disinterested looker on who loves fair dealing. Mr. Graydon was defeated In the race for Judge?no mistake about that. The effort to ruin his political prospects by putting a meaning to words, which were overheard, seems equally clear. We have no Idea that our respected contomporary would willingly do a wrong to any citizen of tlie State, and presume that the first publication was made without reflecting upon the consequences to Mr. Graydon. Mr, O ray don'* Refutation. To the Editor of The News and Courier; My attention has been called to an article In your paper of December 13, headed "A Youth who finds Veterans In his way," &c. The article almost provokes a smile In spite of the gravity of the charges made analnst me. At the Grand Central Hotel In Columbia, on last Friday, (not in the House of Representatives,) In a conversation between two friends und myself, something was said by one of them in a Jocular way about men who have been elected to omce in mi* suue soieiy nei-ause they hart received wounds in the Confederate service, and who had not another qualification for office. I replied in the same 1 manner, In substsmcp, that it would he better for the state if all such battle-scarred veterans were dead politically. One of them said he thought lt-a very honorable sentiment to reward with office men who hud been maimed In the war. I said yes, I think so too. other things being equal; but that fact should not ' lie allowed to outweigh every other considera- j tion and put incn IntootllceB who are utterly i< incompetent to dischare their duties. If ihis ' be treason, then I am a traitor. The article referred to would make it appear . that I deliberately insulted a maimed Confederate veteran, who Is an olfle-holder. I was talking to m.v two friends, hnd did not know such a man was in earshort. I may slate iilso < that one of the men I was talking to is an Ex- i 'onfederate soldier. He did not take any : offence at It. because he knew none was in-. < tended to him or anybody else. 11 II any one who knows me or who does not I know me Is foolish enough to think that I I'ould say a word or entertain a thought disre-1 :pp'fnl to a Confederate soldier, I ask him to'] consider these incus: my miner was a cornea-, ?rate soldier. Only u few months ago he Joined the silent majority. At the beginning of' Llic war I inn! eight uneles, the only members . i)f my family old enough to so into the army. ! >ne of them was a chaplain of a regiment, j 'lie other seven fought in the ranks. One of !hem ha? die 1 since the war, the results in , part of wounds received in battle. Two of , them survive with their bodies covered with 'ears made by minnle balls. One of these has lischarjjfd for eleven years the duties of an Important office to the entire satisfaction of his constituents. The bones of the other lour . I lie bleaching on the battlefields of Tennessee i I md Virginia. IIow many families in Southj< Carolina can show a belter record ? !! I trust you will repair the injury dona me as i < far as possible by publishing this eommunl-!1 cation, and that any newspapers which have:' copied it will copy this also. < ELLIS G.GRAY DON.

"Confederate Veterans Indignant." The Columbia correspondent of the News mid Oourier, says: "The statement of Mr. \V. T. Branch, published in the News and Courier, does not tally with any report which cau he obtained in Columbia." The Register's account is as follows: "The Confederate veterans, who bear as \ honorable evidences of their service wounds j1 and scars or perhaps have lost an arm or leer IjU IIIU UUU ICI1CIM, ICV1 juoujr lUUi^iiniii* u > VJ J? the report of statements made recanting them | by Mr. Kills G. Graydon, ot Abbeville, who1 was an unsuccessful candidate against Judge j Norton, who Is himself a one-armed veteran. The Register reporter traced the report to! the source and found the following to be the i facts: Last week, Friday. In the ofllee of the! Grand Centrnl Hotel, Mr. Graydon, Col. Irby,1 of Laurens, Mr. Gasque, of Marion, one of the doorkeepers of the House, were sit ting In conversation, the Confederate pension bill belne the topic thereof. In the talk Mr. Graydon 1 ust-d words to the effect that It would be a ernrwl t.lilner Tor the State If all the scarred nnd crippled Confederate soldiers were dead anil out of the way, as they now run for offices ihev were not competent to fill and were J elected l>y sympathy. "Mr. Gasque, on whose authority this state- j J ment 1s made, and who is himself crippled In ;s one arm by service in the war, was so Justly offended that he arose and left the place, lest he be tempted to forcibly show his lndigna- ? lion. "It Is due Mr. Graydon to say that it has , been since stated by him that his words wpre j <. ?pokcn in jest, hut tills explanation Is not sufficient and there is Rood reason for the feeling' i>f Indignation which, as has been said, pre- 1 vails anions all Confederates who have heard i of his language. He should hasten to repudi-11 :ite such sentiments if he ever uttered or\ maintained them, and he will find it difficult! to make those who properly were the veterans P who gallantly risked wounds and loss of limb , unil life Itself In the Confederacy, believe that! even In Jest such words as those reported com-' Ing from his lips should be tolerated without! mrmhsitie condemnation of him who uttered 51 thorn.*' I Editorial in Xcws and Courier. 1 j In an editorial of December 14 the New* t' nnd Cf>urlcr says: ; ^ Mil. GltAYIWX AND Ex-fOXFRnEKATES.? j There Is evidently a serlons misunderstandIngof the opinions and sentiments of Mr. El- J lis G. Gravdon, of Ahbcville, regjirdinsr ex- ' C'?nfe<lfrales. It Is inconceivable that he should wish that they were all dead for any < reason. This would he at war with his whole j record and the traditions he inherits. Moreover, Mr. \V. T. Branch informs the Xrwuaml , Courier that he was present during the eon versa Hon which is presumed t<> have twen re- ? ferred to by the informant, of our Columbia correspondent; tlmt the conversation took place at one OI me noiess and not in t???

Mr. Gray don said wn?| that lie 'hoped to we the day wlien Kx -<'on-i "federates who were Incompetent to All the 'offices to which I hey were elected woti'd he "politically dead." This is h widely different view, and one that is entirely unobjectionable. Mr. Gnsque'M Oinrjcos.

This Is the season when the marriage bells tinkle their Joyous sons of Unity and Happiness. No wonder that these merry bells rang gay throughout the neighborhood of old Asberry, one of the landmarks of Ahbevjile County, on the Hth day of December, 1S87, at the restilonon nf Mr? A. C. Morrow. the hrtito's mother, when wore united in wedlock Miss Corn L. Morrow and Mr. Thomns F. Fercuson. Rev. 11. T. Sloan, D. D.. was the officiating clerarymnn, nssistnd by Rev. J. B. Muse. The bridesmaids and bridesmen were ns follows: Miss Mart Morrow and Mr. Andrew Ferguson. Miss Fnnnle Ferguson and Mr. Emmel Cox. Miss Minie Morrow and Mr. W. D. Barksdale. Miss Fllda Brooks and Mr. T. W. McMillan. Miss Mngsle Butler and Mr. W. T. Speed. Miss Mollle Jones and Mr. Ilenry Power. The wmher might have been better, but "often a little morning ruin foretells a pleasant day." A mnnir t hp crnests wi> noticed T)r. John Mnr. row and wife, Mr. Noel and wife, Mrs. IT. T. Sloan, Mrs. J. B. Muse, Major J. L. While and wife, Mr. White and wife, Dr. G. F. E. Wenck, and others. Who ever knew Mrs. A. C. Morrow wifl know that everythlnc per'aining to the interestine event showed a taste, a forrsieht, a happy arrangement. When we add that our friend, the congenial Confederate veterau, Major J. L. White, acted as master of ceremonies, every one will believe tho pleasant affiiir was complete. The Morrows are good stock. The name has > n good sound. Abbev ille County at least may he proud of it. The brarers of this name in times past have shown themselves to be pntrlots. Nearly all the battlefle'ds of Virginia and the West have seen a Morrow? a Stonewall Jackson has seen them?a Lee has seen them. Those who were left of the 1MWITWW? IIIMU^ miuu uiUACiin wurn luc aii^ci of Pence trietl to wipe nway the tears of the mothers, the widows and orphans. The writer hns spent many a happy hour nt the home of th?* bride's mother and with the Morrows. We shall never forcet the days when the bride, then a eirl of twelve Hummers, with the help of her sister, brothers, nelces, and her kind and (rood mother, nursed my only boy back to health, and. as we hone, to future usefulness, from a bed of serious Illness. Lone may the bride live; lone; live her husband. May they be of future usefulness to themselves and to all mankind. Mav all the accidents nnd Incidents in the battle of life be pleasant and profitable, and may the protectee hand of the great ruler of the universe be with them day and ulght, until they "cross the River and rest In the shade." This Is the sincere wish of their humble friend. Vassier. A Xcw Anpirjuit for Musical Honors.
