To EDITOR OF HERALD: By request of County Committee of Tax Payers' Union, we organized a Subordinate Union with title, "Prvs perity Tax Payers' Union." and tl.e -following gentlemen as its officers: Presidet-P.

But the order is young, and we think when the people -fully understand the object of the Union they will unite with it. Our Union niumbers 35, and we have a few aceessions every meeting. We are very dry down here and the crops are not looking as well as they did a few weeks ago. . M. FOR TEE HEiALD. CowunkI, Aug. 12, '74. SMR.. EDrroL.--It is hot to-day in the superlative degree.- No air stirring, and notia cloud upon th4 facee of the sky. "Skeeters,"with-their little bui gles blowirng around, and -gnats in abundance. If you will- make due ad lowances for.these pests, we will pencil a few lines. We have-to fight with one hand and write with the other, hence must be you to overlook all inaccura ceofthought and language. We have just returned from a short trip to Newberry city and district. We were highly pleased to see so many improve ments going on in the city, and such a dne prospect for a good crop in the country. There atppears to be a much larger area in corn this year than in former years. It.*is certaiinly the idea efor the fairmer, not that we would ad vcate platnting no cotton, but plant enough corn. wvheat, oats, peas, barley, &c., for supplies, and to meet home der m rands, then the surplus area, plant in cotton. A few years experience will prove that this is the idea for the South. It is not the man that has the most money in his pocket on New Yeatr's day that is the best off always, but the man that has supplies in his barn for a year. 1 )how there are arguments both for and agaiinst what. I have touched upon. We leave the%trmeE to debate them~ in his own mind. What we want Ito speak about now is, the complaint that -there is no capital in the South. And there never will be so long as it is all sent out for "London time-keepers," free railway tickets, receipts for making fortunes, prize candy boxes, five dollar sewing machines, lottery tickets, hum bugs, nic-nacs, nostrumis, wooden nut megs and a host of other clap-traps and -patent rat traps. We paid a dollar for a London time-keeper a few years ago. Iis a wooden box, and that is about all, We wvouldJ not miss it far if we were to say there have been five hun dred sold in the State. That takes $500, and where is the benefit? If every cent that has been spent in the State since the war for just such foolishness as we have mentioned, had been invest ed in a Manufacturing Stock Company, it would be sufficient to build several ~'large factories. Now, must we go on in the destructive way, in which we have gone, or mug we profit by past experience? If we are to profit, tllep~ let us let these "tricks" and "dodges" to get a fortune for fifty cents alone. Th hast one of them are "humbugs." Save the dimes and get a dollar, say rthe dollars and get enough of them to Sbuy one share in a manufacturing comn painy; after you get one share, then save Ienough to get another and another. This will bring prosperity, and that will bring peace, and that will bring educa cation, and that will bring wealth, and here will end the complaint, "There is' n'o capital in the South."

'o the Voters of the Third Con gressional District of South Carolina. FELLOW-CITIZENs: I offer myself s a candidate for your votes in the lection which takes place in Nover er next, to select a member of Coi, ress for this Congressional District. Deplorable as is the condition of the tate, I think you will agree with me hat a State party organization does ot promise us relief. In the whole state the Republican party is in a ma ority, abhough that majority is un loubtedly enormously exaggerated. 3ut, still. an organized party opposi ion brings the Republican party to he support of its candidates in every )ortion of the State, and thus where ie are locally strong, we are not allow d simply to fight our own battles, but Lre forced into conflict with the whole ;trength of the Republican organiza ion. Worse still, in the present con lition of national parties, a State party rganization is sure to be misrepresen ed as being an opposition, not to the niquitous administration of the le )ublican party in South Carolina, but Ls an opposition to the republican par y of the Union, and especially to the iministration of Gen. Grant, and he prejudices and power of the Fed ral Government are thus enlisted gainst us. Now, I am perfectly afe in saying that, at present, to the eople of this Atate, Federal politics re obsolete. Their oneabsorbing, vital ,terest is the honest administration )f the State Government, and they isk fur power only so far as events ave proved that power in the hands >t the property-holders and tax.payers )f the State is absolutely necessary ;o secure such honest. administration. knd they need representation in Washington, to be heard before the Dongress of the Nation and by the President, in order that the truth as bo their cotdition and feelings should be known; in order that the influ ence of the General Government shall not be used against them, in entire inisconception of their sentiuent and their purpose. This representation has been purposely and pettinacious ly denied us. Take your own Con. gressional District as an illustration. Whatever mlay be the strength of the Republican party in the whole State, or in other portions of the State, here certainly they are not a majority. That there are somoc Republicans, I admit-some of themi selected with out reference to party affiliatios holding County offices and seats in the Legislature, and they have proved useful and faithful officers. This eon dition of things was well known to the Repu:blican Legislature, when last winter it undertoo,k the re district ing of the State. What did it do ? The Act of Congress, of 18G2-requir. ed that each congressional District should be composed of Qontiguous ter ritory." So when they had grouped together Oconee, Piekens, Anderson, Abbeville, Laurens and Newberry, in which a reasonable effort would have secured the people such a repre sentative as they really desired, they dded RicThlanzd, which* is not "con tiguous territory ;'' which touches the ~est of the District at no one point. simply and only because R.ichland was antirely in the hands of the Republican pary. and experience had shown that moy number of Republican votes could be manufactured to order in that Dounty to meet the requirements of a ontested election. This Congression d District, has, therefore, for the ex ress purpose of excluding you from representation, been constructed in eliberate anid fraudulent violation of :he law of the land. If there were no tber~ issue, this is o'ae which you >ught to make in vindiention of the uprmest right which belongs to free nee, and one in which you can appeal ~romn the narrow and selfish tyranny f the Republican party of the State, :o the justice and to the lawful author ty of the Republican party of the (nion. But there are other reasons why you should earneatly endeavor to se :-ure f.>r yourselves a fitting represen tion. The section of the State in which we live and with which our ortunes are identified, is the only one tu which there is marked evidence of aterial improvement. We have a homgeneous population, the advan bages of our soil and climate offer sure f slow inducements to immnigration, ur population is increasing, and the pening of new channels of commuvi ation is fast bringing this up-country, itherto so isolated, into direct rela ions with og.r neigh bos, West and orth. Old party issues re fas4 dy ng ogt. Those which are shaping bheuselves in the future are financial d industrial questions, in which we. 3 an almost exclusively agricultural ~ouutry-especially a country of small ~arers-are directly interested, we 1o not want as representatives political adveiturers, foreign or native. We want n owning our own soil, bound to us by the ties of neighborhood and blood, who know us, our ways and our intere4. Believing this ; believing that no hing is to be gained by party organi ~ation and complicated issues ; believ ~ ;~ onvi~hino. i~ ta he accom soou as I can make my arrangements to coriience this canvass. Iu the meanstilliC, I submit myself to your coIsideraitiou, merely stating the thr(e following propositions as an outline of the Lround I shall occupy: 1st. With the Republican party of te Union I have no controversy. I (O not belong to it, but the issues up<n which we have differed, have drifted out of practical consideration. Our misfortune has been that this great par ty, with its immense power and its heavy responsibility, never compre hended the true temper or the real con dition of the South, for the simple rea son that since the war the South has never been represented in the councils of the Nation. I think that the policy of reconstruction was harsh and unwise. I doubt if to-day any thoughtful Repub lican thinks otherwise. But it is not surprising or unnatural that it should have been so. At any rate what has been done, has been done. We have lived through it. What we have the right to ask of the Republican party to day is. that what we honestly are, that we shall be represented at Washington to be. If we have become Republicans, then by all means let-our representative be a Republican. If we have not, then let the Republican party of the Union refuse to strengthen the hands of a fac tion in the State which, for corrnpt pur poses and by fraudulent means, stifles the true voice of the State, betrays its true interests, and misrepresents its real sentiment. This State cannot be redeemed from the hideous misrule under which it is perishing, except by the co-operation of the General Govern ment with those who represent really its property, its intelligence and its character. And these two powers will never understand each other until we have at Washington just such complete and honest representation as we are en titled to in a fair election. And it is the interest of the National Republican par ty and of the whole country, no less than ours, that this should be secured. 2d. I have no war to make upon Gen. Grant's administration. I do not know Gen. Grant. I have not been in Wash ington since he has been President. But I know this, that between you and the National policy of Gen. Grant, for eign or domestic, there is not a single issue to make you enemies. So absorb ed have we been in our own miserable condition, that most of those issues have passed us entirely disregarded. and up on none of them is there room for more than an amicable and honest difference of public opinion. The difficulty be tween General Grant and yourselves is precisely the difficeulty between the State and the National Republican par ty. A corrupt oligarchy, who have got possession of the. offices of the State, aund who, so far, have successfully held control of the mass of ignorant voters who compose the majority, have inter posed between you and him. He is never allowed to hear the truth. Pr i vate whisperings andl public misrepre sentation, color and distort every fatt before it reaches him. And I can wvell understand how, -with the best inten tions, an overburdened President is forced to rely on official representation. which, unde~r our political system, jire almost anthoritative.- Our official re presentation in Washington is bnt a pairt (of the same machinery by which thme State is governed. Senators and members are made by thme same power which makes venal members of the Legislature a n d defaulting County Treasurers, and the same influence which corrupts the ballot-box at home, closes the door of the White House to you at thme Captal. Your position to wards the administration ought to be one not of pronounced antagonism, hut of perfect independence. Whoever re presents you ought to be free to give to Gen. Grant's administration a cordial support when he believes it right. and a temperate and respectful opposition when he believes it wrong. As I said before, the political issues which are coming are not tinctured with the bit terness of the past. and should be dealt with on. their own merits. It is, of course, desirable that the President should feel and manifest a kinder symn path)y with the distressed condition of the State, and that he should be disa bused of the impressions so persistently and malicionsly made, that there is an incrable personal hostility to him among the people of this State. But this you never can accomplish unless on can secure a fitting representation in Washingtopi, 3d. Lastly, I refnse to acknowledge the Republican party, as it calls itself, of South Carolina, as the representative either of the people of the State or of the Republican par~ty of the Nation. It is simply the government of a com pact and adroit close corporation of of fice-holders..- I do not propose to de nonece them. Abuse is in my opinion a very inefficient weapon, and besides, if I wished, I could find no language of such vehement denunciation as the terms in which they speak of each other. If their present dhifferences continue. we shall soon know what they arc from themselves. I sha~ll leave themn to write each others epitaphs. Bat the re sult oIf their governmn'nt, confessed by themselves and open to the world, is before us. The indstryv of the State paralyr' i its~ credit destroyed, its peo pe dleimoraized, its character degraded. With all this we have had nothing to do. We have been excluded from pow er or place, and our only privilege has been to endure. Opposition to them is neither opposition to the interests of the peplel of tbe State, nor to~ the Federal Administration, nor to the National party which controls the Government, ut simply the duty of all men who be lieve that honesty and decency are the geesary accompaniments of well or de ed gpvggeppt ghelieve that there r ienm 'p tpe payty whp-ar.e inortified and dlisgu.sted it its~r-eidess and ruin ous policy; but as yet they have given no evidence of either their power or resolution to reform it. And surely no sincere and substantial rijformD cnn be inugrted by the deliberate and fraud ulent violation of the law in creating the Congressional Distr-ici, or by forcing upon us candidates chosen for past ser vices in the disgraceful history of the party, and who neither share our inter ests, reflect cur opinions, nor represent our chi aracter. I believe that it is in your power by, a vagrous and upi'ted efi'gre Ip begin theZilfi-:ee of'the Afte. Even if defeated now, you can prepare the way for future and certain success. It may vey possibly be that I am not the most fitting man to attempt to lead you. If, after the movment is commenced, A Big Doctor's Fee. ,NE 1'*NDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR AN OPERATION. The son and heir of the late Edwin stevens. Mr. John G. Stevents, al ,hough he is the possessor of almost inlitited wealth, being worth some '75.000,000, has until very recently, becin a most unhappy man. He has been afflicted since his birth with a peculiar wei, which has increased year by year, until it covered a large portion of his face and neck. It was a nost unpleasant object, being overed with loug hair, and strangely resembled an aimiu1al. No man could ee it without a shudder, and ladies have fainted at the sight of it. Of course Mr. Stevens felt the affliction most keenly, and it had naturally enough a very depressing effect upon his spirits. What was his immense wealth to him ? Any workman in his *enploy was more to be envied than he. He became morose and 4i most melancholy; society that lie was exceedingly fond of he studiously avoided, and although a young man, lie became almost a recluse. The be.%t physicians and surg.!us 4 Europe were consulted, but they all said that to remove the wen cuild but result in death. Although his life was so miserable, still there was hope, and lie bore bravely up against repeated dis ppointments. Deliverance came at last., and a few days ago an operation was performed which has made him a iiew man. Dr. Willard Parker of this city, had faith to believe that the wen could be removed. He told Mr. Stevens so, and the young naa grasp ed at the straw promised him $150. 000 if he would perforn the operation successfully. le did so, and has arned the everlasting gratitude, as well as the io%ey of the young mil lionaire, who is now pronounced out tf danger. The operation was per formed with electric knives, and it is said that whean the horrid tumor was removed the skin beneath was sound and sm-ooth a.s that of any other part of the body. Notwithstanding the cloud that has hutg over his whole life, the young man has had his love affair like the rest of us. In early youth he was betrothed to :i little girl, the daughter of one of his futher's dearest friends. who always loved him au-d sorrowed with his affliction. While the hateful thing was upon him, it is said, Mr. Stevens gave up all idea of being married, but now that it has been removed, we shall expect soon to hear of great wedding festivities at Hoboken.-Boston Gazette. Obiruary. How mysterious are the ways of' Provi dence, and were it not that the Scriptures teach that all the dispensations of thme same are ordered in wisdom and directed by love, we would be temp,ted to conclude somectmes that God was unkind. Perhaps no occur rece has taken p1lace in our comni,ity more mysterious to us, and in which the gooness of God was more signally displayed ini sustaitning the howreaved paorents. than the death of little Fama.cts WILLI.uM, the second son of Mr an.1 Mrs. TP. F. Greneker, who was born Nov. 9 1867, andi died August 11, 1874. The disca,e which caused his death was putrid sore throat, aggravated by an attack of c:onp. All wats dOne that medical s.kill and attentive nuran:g could do to p;reserve his life; but the Great Disposer of atll things had determiued o,therwae. His suffering.; were great, but he bore them with the greatest patience ansa meekne.ss. Frank was a dear little boy, w ull of life-, the idol of is parent's hearts, 1he light of the household, and a favorite with all. He wev~ fond :>f the Sabbath School, and loved with , w"ee. lit he voice to sing the songs of Zion, aind to.say his prayers. Well, his sufferings are ovet-he has gone. That Saviour whom lie lIved, :md* who said, Suf fer little children to come unto me, and for bid them not, for of atuch is the kingdom of Heaven, has taken him to his own bosom. May He comfort the hearts of the sorrowing family anid en.tt>le them to say, "Himself hath do..e it" all. Oh! how those word::.
