From this date we enforce rigidly the cash system, with all alike. Exceptions made during the past year, by special request and on promises strong and ap parently truthful, have proven the fallacy of credit. We cannot indulge the ex pensive habit longer. Cash for job work, cash for subscriptions, cash for advertisements, hereafter is the rule. Remember it, bring your money in hand if youeeed anything in our line.

Our 4 Mark, subscribers whose terms of subscrip tion expired on or about the 1st Janua ry, and who do not renew at once, will recelve the paper no longer. The inevi table e mark is made three times so as insure notice; it signifies three things, first the subscribet's time is about out, second that a renewal is desired, and third that the paper will stop unless the subscriber is heard from. Look out fbr the k mark, and be not offended if we are forced to discontinue because no word is received to the contrary. Death of E143overnor Pickens. This distinguished citizen died after a protracted illness, at his residence in Edgefield, on the 25th nlt. The best part of Mr. Pickens' life was devoted to public se; vice, and the State he served so long and so honorably, may well mourn the death of her distinguished son. In the U. S. Congress, to which he was sent early in life, in the legisla ture of our own State, 'in her proud and ralmy dayF,' as minister :o the Court a' St. Petersburg, and during the late troublous times, as Governor, Mr. Pick ens maintained the trusts confided to kii with signal ability, and gained the umost con6idence 6f his fellow citizens. Holding such au high- position, it would have been singular 4id he not become a mark for asperson-more' particularly in the mit great and -diffictilt 'role as Goueror.' Unswerviriginte'grity and ; Igk sense of honor marked his coar-se, and it..tbere was aught of ,error in his administration, it was th'e fault of the head and not of the heart. Let history do justice to his virtues and services, and The Legislature (so-called), is decided ly a slow coach. The days run to e u, and the weeksmerge into months, anstill it drags its slow length along. The reps see indeed having a good time, comoming the .public money. They meet about 12 M., and after a burlesque of about .three hours, adjourn. On an average tbis is the' daily programme. The Phceniz gives a specimen of last Wednesday's proceedings, and -says: "The Senate bill to alter and amend the ciminal law, after having been discussed for four days in Committee of the Whole, which reported by a decided majority in favor of the bill as it. came from the Senate, was put upon its sec ond reading. The first section of the bil, abolishing capital punishment, ex cept in case of wilful -murder, which was its destructive feature; passed to a third reading, by a vote of 58 to 36. Then commenced the filibustering of its opponents." Delarge moved to ,re-commit the re manfig sections. Purvis moved to lay this motion on the-table, on which were called the yeas and nays. Delarge asked topain and cafled for yeas and nays ; hie calling. Bishop begged to be ex ced voting, and Hyde called for yeas ad says, upon which Jenks asked leave o something. Dennis then moved to suspend rules, and the yeas and nays were called. Bishop moved to adjourn, then more yeas and nays, and when his nme was called, asked to be excused, when DeLarge called yeas and nays. While this was in operation, DeMars declined voting, which called for a few more yeas and nays.~ Then DeLarge moved to adjourn-when up rises W. H, Jones asking to be excused from voting, yeas and nays again. Then. came the call of yeas and nays on ad journment, when the yeas had it. .Was there ever,such a muddle ? GEORGuA ErrERPRse.-With pride we inst t the following paragraph from the Savannah Republican : Georgia manufacturing enterprise is presenting to the world something new. We were shown yesterday a specimen of cotton blankets, turned out by the Eagle Mills, Columbus, that do credit to the State. They are very thick, napped heavily on both sides, and beautiful in appearance. They are said to answer all the purposes of the wooolen blanket, and are furnished at the low priee of fron $5 to $6.50 per pair. Besides their value -s something new, if generally adopted they will add largely to the consumption of the staple, ...with a cor responding effect upon the price. AcCmuENT ,jox FIRE-ARMs.-Last Fri day Dr. A. D. Boke received a trouble some wound from the accidental dis chare of a small pistol he had in his pocket. We are glad to lesarn, however, that he will be suffielently recovered in a few days to enable him to prosecute -cnange. The lady's Friend for February.-S beautiful steel engraving, "Yes or No ?" illustrating a story by Miss Douglas, leads of the February number of this charming magazine. Then fol lows the usual large and elegant Fashion Plate; and a graphic engraving of "Detective Buttet by Summing up the Points of the Case." This laster is an illustration of Mrs. Wood's new sto ry, "Roland Yorke; or, Done in Passion," which is bacoming intensely interesting. All the admirers of "East Lynne" should read this powerful story. Among the other literary mat ter of this number, we may note "The Unknown Guest," a fine story by Mrs. Harriet Preseo Spoford; "Warren's Ward," by Mrs. Hosmer; and the continuation of Miss Elizabeth Prescot's sparkling and bril'iant serial, "Between Two."

ML. EurroR-SaL:-l saw in the Her ald of the 20th inst., that Solomon P. Hoge, has charged five of the boxes, as having given in ~four hundred illegal votes, and bad driven off the same num ber that would have voted for him. One of which boxes is the Glymuph box. It is false as to the Glymph box. I acted as chairman at the registration, and also at the election. No man was allowed to register, who was not entitled to do so. And no man was allowed to vote who bad not regis tered. No man, white, black or of any hue was driven off, deterred, or even influenced to vote against his will, to our knoul edge. Mr. Hoge can have the names of all his colored brethren, that were at the election if he wishes, that they may tes tify to his chairges.. I challenge investigation. Yours, WILLIAM RUFP, Cha irman.

Jaeger has been appointed Registrar in Bankruptcy for the 3rd Congressional District, and that his office will be at Newberry Court House. PUBLIC MEING.-Our citizens~ will bear in mind the-meeting to be held in the Court House -Thursday evening, the object of which is to consider the impor tance of a Telegraph and the means to be adopted to further that interest. A full meeting is requested. INFANT ScoooL.-By reference to card elsewhere, it will he seen that Miss Josephine Jones has opened a juvenile School in the session room of the Pres byterian Church, and we take great pleasure in reornmending her to this community, a a young lady of great amiability of character, and as well quali. fied from previous experience, "to teach the young idea how to shoot." Send your little children to her, mothers. Her teims, too, are moderate, as we have been informed. BEFORE THE -PULic.-The enterpris ing firm of Wilson & Wicker are before the public in an attractive advertisment, which we are confident will bring them an increase of material prosperity. Their stock of goods is as large and complete as it well can be, in f:ct, larger than it should be for their personal ccnvenience at present, having just received their new invoices. In a few days, however, they look for a reduction, and for that purpose, will sell rapidly and cheap. Look in on them. CoMPRoMIs.-Several of our exchange.4 have forcibly advanced the idea of a gene ral compromising of ante-war and war debts. The principle is a sound one, and the display of a spirit of liberality and for. bearance toward " brothers, neighbors and friends," would speedily pave the way to prosperity.- We. are tol, that the spirit is encouraged by the bar. This is a noble example, and from a source which renders it right..worthy of emulation. All honor to the gentlemen of the legal pro. fession. Let the work go 'on, and receive fresh momentuvg daily, and until the incu bus that weighs'so heavily upon. those who suffer in mind afsl'estate':is fully removed. TaE CHALLEME.WASHING MAcUNE. - One of the si'iplest washing machines now before us is the Challenge Washer, of which Mess dRiser and Witt a:-e the agents:. .Having had one in operation for some tirne, w cheerlully recommend it as fully comin p to all that is clatime'd for it. ILs cheapunem LIo ftanther '-e commedion,inil one wh;ich ,adds greatly to its opumity. The agents ab'we mnentione/d have disposed of a large numb'er iudthis district, as well as elsew here. and tie testimonials ree'-i ved are all of the niot favorable character. It will wash six shirts ir. seven minutes, four sheets or.ajired guilt in four minutes, and sixteen pillow-cases ian five minutes. It is light, easily adjusted and operated, cheap, durable, simple, and not liable to get out of order. The price of the wash er is $%; and the wringer from $9 to $10. The housewife wanting one, and no one should be witl oat one, will address Messrs. J. Riscr-& M. H. Witt, at Po maria, S. C. SAr.Da.-Everybody and the other man, with the,eaception of a few of their wives and children, were in town on Mon. day, and the .streets presented a,pcene of animated natuire'not seen before for several preceding Sale-days. Our local found -it difficult to navigate successfully through the heterogenous mass of bipeds, quadrupeds and darkies, and gave over in despair at twenty-five minutes after one, and as a com pensation dined. His after dinner sugges tion is that Sale-day hereafter be divided into two days, the first and third Mondays of the month, the present being too much of a good. t.hing for one day. The business of the day was active ; cot to:1 taking another rise, the spirits of the people rose in proportion, and the prices realized for the various proptrty sold were a favorable indication of a people's pros perity. We noticed particularly the sale of one horse which brought $40 more than the owner asked or dared hope to obtain. The following tracts of lard were sold as follows : -246 acres bringing $1875.00; 228, $1375.0; 76,$t60, and 66 acres $420; horses and mules of which there were several, running, for good stock, as high as $250. TICKLE US &ND' WE'LL TICK LE YoU. This is one of the fairest games known under the sun ; neither party will have advantage of the: other in the game of "Tickle me and tickle you." It's a very nice game and quite innocent. Several of our merchants and friends have found it out lately, and~have played very suc cessfully, and of whom notice has been made. Our friend Matheir Albriton, who keeps by the way an excellent stock of goods, just four miles beyond town, learned the trick Somne time back, and so well satisfied with it was lie, that every now and then he is at it again. This time he played it with a jug of the best N. 0. Syrup ever seen. Success to Mathew, may tbe sweets of life follow him to the end, and his business always be as good as now and better. Some wizard, if there be one in this re gion, or a Ku.Klux man, must have in formed Messrs. Paysinger & Wilson of the existence and prevalence of the afore said game, for scarce is the pen laid aside, and the ink dry used in writing the above, when lo and behold there marvellous, wonderful, startling, but none the less true. We can scarcely think that any supernatural agency was invoked by P. & W., but we. confess to being perplexed. Last year our friends piled in on us potatoes, until there was no rest, so many in fact that tubers con stituted the principal part of our meals; now are we being made the victims of syrup, inundated as it were, with the sweet trickling fluid. Is it a conspiracy, friends? "Methinks there be six Rich monds in the field," four have already met us, not in deadly tilt, but with jugs of N. 0. Syrup. Pile it on friends, if this is your game. If you be not hurt, we will not be, yea, verily. EXTRA Couwr.---At the close of the re cent January Term of the Circuit Court, His Honor Judge Orr issued an order for an Extra Term of the Court to be held on the fourth Monday ir' pri next.

As the provisions of the law are numerons, and someowhat com plicated, while manay of its features will apapear novel to .the tax payers of the County ; it is of thc fir-st importance, therefore, that you study careiully the spirit and intent of the law, in order that you may'exe cute it properly in de tail. .The spirit of the law, which is the life of the law) however, may -be easily understood. The law does not expect you to op press, or grind, or deal rigorously in your assssments; but that you firmly and. strictly carry out its provision.e, exercising at all times sound discretion and forbearance in the performanice of your duties, in order, not only that th;e State may secure its revenue, but that the people may f,.el that they have not been subjected to any other than an equitable and reasonable taxation. 1 would particularly impress upon you, the propriety of being careful to avoid, as far as possible, any thing that may seem like an unnecessary inquzisition~ into the private affairs of the tax-payer, they must, at the same time, use exery proper- means to satisfy themselves as to the correctness of the returns of proper ty made. You well understand that the year for which this assessment is made terminates on the first of September, 1868, and that it is the property~ which has been held by the tax-payer, during the year preceding that date, and which is held by him on that date, that is to be assessed for taxation. The attainment of these results, will, in a great measure, depend upon the manner in which you shall discharge your duties. Respect fully, S. MoNTGOMERY, Feb 3 County A uditor.
