a division or oris count v.
Ever since reconstrutiion t'io subject
of a division of our county has been di coased.
In the cons itut: >s?a! convention
of 1868 the project was introduced and
every legislative session has .<een a r"
vival of it. NYe have rcreon to think
that a bill for the purpose .vil! : e intioduced
at the next >e < ion.
The desire for a division i< quite gener- j
al in the up??er part of the county and
their is very little opposition to it on the j
islands. The following are some of the |
main arguments in its Caver.
The county is very large, both in area i
and population. Its poliii :ii strong* h in
the b'euate is di-proportionate to its size.
The streams and swamps of the county
* make it peculiarly difficult to t:avcl over
it. The county seat is inconveniently j
located for the people of the main land, j
The great distances which white e und
jurors have to travel increases the expenses
of the county enormous!.". There
are probably other reasons quite as
potent, but these will suliico to sfjit the
subject. Wo should be glad to hear ti e
view- ef the people for end against thi>
measure. \\ e have no doubt tiiat ?i ,
earnestly implied the legislature v. \
eouceed the division. We have h:aru
Graham villi designated as the be.-t site ;
lor the county seat of the new eourTy.
One proposition is to cut off all but
the islands'. The latter proposition '
would leave shout 2.y>0O inhabitants to |
L'enufbrt county, givina the new county
about JLOOO.

Queer Taper.
TheCollt-ton GuMle, owned by Geo. .
F. Mclntyre, Rep ubiicau Senator from ?
that county, has the folios ing, under !
the caption:?' Odious Truths."
There can be no manner of d- uM '
that Moses is a self-confessed thief.'1
The editor proceeds then to ass n that
his election is a lesser evil than the defeat
and disorganization of the tegular
Republican party, lie, further, admits
that the worst men iu the party have
been re-elected to higher p >sitious than
the outs*they had but receutly disgraced.
This naturally leads hiru to
point out the f.tcl that the Col >rtd voters
are responsible for this, and that

He warns them that such a eouiseof
conduct cauuot be lepeuted without
bringing as a const quence political diofranehisermnt
aud social degradation.
Thus, after commending them for
sticking by their pat iy, even if by doing
so, they ekel '*a self confess*, d
thief," he shows them that the ceitain
result of their action w ifl be ultimate,
ruiu to their race. lie is a queer fellow.

Dower Under the U. S. Tax Title.
An interesting case of dower was ar
gucd in the court of probate for thii
couuty on the 17th inst. Our towns
man Mr. J. U. Mayo occupies premisei
in this town formerly owned by Mr
Timothy If. Spann, deceased. Th<
premises were sold for taxes in 1803
under the IT. S. Direct Tax Law. Tt<
uidov of the deceased claims hei
dower in the premises, notwithstand
ipg the tax title. Fv>r the purpose c
this action the title of either party wa<
admitted to be valid. As dower, unce
the protecting care of the commoi
law. will follow any fee, no matter wh<
is the purchaser, unless renounced b\
the widow, the question arose whetbi j
the tax purchaser took the fee, with
all Us incidents, of the former owDer
or a new, independent and original fe<
and title, discharged e^iirely of al
connections with the old fee, and ever}
tiling that per'ains to it. It wa:
a' r ucd for the plaintiff that dower wa;
a t'u von d nrivilece at common law, pro
t? cu (1 with j^alousv; that inasmuch ai
d wer was not a perfect right or title
utitil after the death of the husband
and inasmuch as the husband in thii
CMse did not die until after the sale
therefore the widow's right *t<
dr.wer was not a prior incumbrance
within the fourth section of the aci.
In opposition it was argued that tk<
tax being a charge upon the land, un
dcr i he statute, and having no refer
euce whatever to the owner of th<
laud nor to the owner of any interes
in the land, the land and every intern*
thrrc-iu is taxed, and upon the deliu
q*u my of payrneutof the taxoccurring
under the statute, the land and ever
interest therein bt comes forfeit to th<
government, and that dower, even will
the husband living, is tin interest o
appreciable and tangible value, as ap
peais from the importance given to ih<
renonciation of dower by every con
veyat.'ce. Ilence it would follow also
that if only the personal interest ii
the land of the old owner was taxei
and sold, and that was all that passec
to the tax purchaser, then the interes
of every incumbrance, be he mort
gagee, judgment crtditor, cestui qu
trust, cestui que use, dowrcss or an;
other, would escape taxation altogeth
er. Judgment for defendant wiih cost
An appeal to the Circuit court wil
probably be taken. W. F. Colcock
E>q., for demandant, A. S. Hitchcock
E*q., for defendant.
It is a new question and to us "s
peculiarly interesting one, hence w<
gave the above space to it.
f?T We have received a letter frou
our friend D. P. (livens of Yemasse

Burning of the Wreck.
Bi
I I On Sunday evening, about twilight.
t 1 the wreck of the ship Knayi; was dis.
covered to be on fire. Several personswere
aboard of her at the time. They
y had barely time to get off before the fi;e
b had spread to every part oi'i lie vessel.
^ j The fire was started amid-hip among
f j some loose oakum, and was evidently the
. ! work of an incendiary. By this act ,
e several thousands of dollars worth of
. property was destroyed which could have
, been saved, consisting of sails, cordage.

j stores and such of the cargo as was be1
twecn decks. Pilots Early and Rupong
I were lying near in a smack wi;h the in
^ tention of working on her in the interest
. of the underwriters. The weather wae
calm and favorable for work and these
. men are deprived of profitable employment
through the malice of the iticcudiary.

Three Dajs 011 a Wreck,
Joseph A. Dupong, one of our Port
lioyal pilots, last week was the hero of
a daring adventure. Oq Monday afternoon,
of last week, he went down in
i he pilot boat No. 2. and boarded the
wreck of the ship Energy, ashore off
Hunting Island. The ship laid on a
sand spit ten or twelve miles frort*
shore, thirty miles north of the light
ship. Dupong determined to stay on
board, as he bad convinced himself
that the ship might be floated, or at
least a large part of her cargo saved.
The other pilois were loathe to leave
him on the wreck, as there were indi
cations of an approaching storm. lit
wn8, however, inflexible iQ his determination.
On Tuesday the gale increased
and Dupong asserts that the
Energy floated off the spit and was carried
almost into St. Helena channel.
On Wednesday she broke in two Hi*
provisions gave out ou Wednesday.
During ihe gale Dupoug was lashed to
the wreck; the waves broke over him
constantly and almost stripped him of
clothing. Ou Thursday Dupong was
taken oft', having voluntarily incurred
a peiil which most men would have
idven ship aud cargo to have escaped
from.

a county debt.
There would have been saved at least.
two thousand dollars per term of court
Say twelve terms during the past four
years, making the sum of twenty-four
thousand dollars. And the county would
have bet-n working on a cash basis all the
time: thereby saving an additional tcu
thousand dollars, in the reduced price ol
contracts for county work.
Thus by a rule of court, our county
would have saved thirty-four thodsind
doliaiS, which is the amount of the county
debt at this time.
We all know very wei! that it has actually
taken every cent of the amount on
the county assessment, collected by the
Treasurer to pay the expanses of ou:
courts. .So that ail.contracts for work I
were made on a credit basis, much
to the loos of the taxpayers.
The late term of our court, cost the
county less than two thousand dollars;
against more than lour thousand dollar.for
the term preceding it.
The former rulings of our Judges must i
have been in d?a :ce of law, if the ruing
or' his Honor Judge M.fher is a correct
one.
In conclusion let us hope that hi>
Honor -Johu J. Maher may i<?ng preside
over the courts in this district.
John* IK'nn, C. C. C.
The ruling of Judge Maher referred to
j by the county commissioners, is to the
| effect that a witness can claim only one
dollar and a half per day while detained
at court, no matter how many cu-cs lm
may be a witne-s in. This ruling also
decreases the fees of the clerk, . heriii
and solicitor.

mr$ LETTER
TO TIIC CITIZENS OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
Columbia, S. C., Oct. 21, 1872.
For the information of the public
aud for the purpose of warning the
taxpayers of this State against a
scheme which has been gotten up by
certain State officials, by which certain
men are to make a large amount of '
money by defrauding the people, I
wish to address to you a few words. A
little more than one year ago I was
appointed to the position of Auditor of
State, aud since th it time I have endeavored
to do my duty in that connection
to the best of my judgment.
Ilovv far 1 have succeeded remains for i
the people to decide. The (listaction,
which, out of my regular couise of duties,
I deennd it incumbent upon me
to take, was the prev? ntion of the circulation
of the. Blue Ridge scrip. This,
I wits repeatedly told by the Governor,
some one was going to do; but atter
waiting until almost too late. 1 learned
that the action of the Governor was
simply f r ihe purpose of forcing John
J. Patterson, the President of the com........
?not, noptiiin / l.iinia wllif'h he
I'iiuj, ,</ vvmaiu
held against ibe road, in the shape ot
a note of the company, which he procured
io a way not likrly to add to the
reputation of an honest man. Waiting,
as I have hereto ore said, until almost
too late, for some one to take this matter
into the courts I finally instituted
the ntcessary proceedings, with the
sanction of ttie Governor. Afl? r prcCetdiugs
had been commenced and the
u.-unl necessary iuducemen's beeD
offered his Excellency, an effort was
made by himself and others interested,
10 induce me to withdraw the tuiif
? -0,000 in cash was offcrtd me by one.
party the dav that the esse came into
court; and an indirect, offer of ?25.000
.11 scrip was subs qu? ntly made by another
party, in cise I w mid consent to
withdraw the suit. This, I. of courst,
refused; and the matter has been a
bone of contention between us ever
since.
Antffirtwas nnJe so-m after the
adjournment of t he Legislature, and
c ?utiuued for some two or three months
to induce me to levy a special- tax to
pay the interest upon the entire bond?d
debt ofthe$lale, legal aod illegal,
'o he co'h.cted imnn diat ly. This I
lefused, a'though au inducement of
?20,000 in cash w s offered me. to
tittit-r levy the tax or r. t<ign tcy pest
tton for the purpose of allowing Dr.
NVagle to make the levy; and, at the
sacne time, 1 was informed that Gov
Scott had promised Dr. ]ST' acle lo rem
?ve me, in case I refused to make
th l' vy. 1 again declined to comply
with the r wisms.
Now, a second effort hat been made
to t'<<ree me to levy a tax to pay the
in?tr?8t upon the fraudulent debt of
the tvaie. and to include a levy of
three mills upon the dollar to redeem
84'>0 (KM) ?f the Blue K'dge scrip one
quarter of the entire ii-sue?which has
oy Ue.ci->i?m of his Honor Judge A. J.
\Viliard, vf tile Supreme Court, been
decidtd uucoiigr.iiulional and iuvalid.
No v, while I deem it the duty of
evj y gooo eisizen to pay a'l just and
lawIu. taxes, I d ? o?u, eons der it Irs
duty to pay very tax thai may he irnp??,
d by unset upub.-u? men, wb .
chance t'? be in power. N ?r do I consider
it the duty of any ? flicer who
through tltrf foice ot circumstances
h'ppens t-> be the appointee of such
rn ii, 10 blind y follow iheir dictation,
wt.hout regard to light or wrong. So
thinking, arid acting a- 1 consider it
the duty ot a good ?.flice.r and an honest
man. I hav^ agaiu refused to comp
v with thtir wi-.hes; and I have this
d ly received au order removing me
fr -m ?ffi:e. l> is out just to myself to
add. liiat I wasintoilued by hie Excel1
oey ' hi Governor that I might rttuin
tne uili:*e. provitii d 1 wuuid make the
I vy. Ilis Exet-ibucy, while insisting
; noon the levy of these taxes, informed
ine that he ku'-w the money, if 0 Beettd.
would not be applied to the purpose
for w ?ich it was levied, but that
t .at was 1.one ot <?ur business; that it
w s our duty to levy the tax; and he
based h?s argument upon the ground
thai many outstanding claims w- re
j Uiiw lu Id agauist tht State, (of which
1 h is 1 he possessor to the amount of
610 000, as be himself informed me.)
and that the Treasurer would have no
| funds to pay tin m. His only otbtr
i argument was that he had publicly
pYd^ed bis word to Henry Clews &
| Co?that the tax would be levied, and
that, ehi'Uhl it tn?t be, he would stand
b-ftue the people iu the light of incou,
ainlt-ucy.
