We doubt much whether there is a County in the State that can make as good a showing in the matter of taxes for the p:tst year as Newberry. The total amount of delinquencias on prop ty was only $1,813.90. The number of polls assessed in this County is 3,911. Of this number 1,020 paid promptly. About $500 have been collected on executions. The above figuresispeak well for the peop)le of Newberry County, as well as for her efficient Auditor and Treasurer. A Pamphlet Fr-ee.

The Footprints of Time and a Cor pite Analysis of our American System of Governmnenit. The delivering agent for this volume hs been in our city (dur-ing the past week delivering it to the subscribers. It is a ver-y useful hook for every dal reference, as well as being interesting to read. It is a complete history, be ginning~ wit.h the ear-liest times, and giigthe worl4's annals to the discov er of America. It gives a comnplets hiistoy of our country up to May of th< p~st year. It also gives a full analysi: of our government, showing the work ings of each department. It treats of the States and Ter-ritories individually. besides giving a general history anm Ianalysis. The statisties are given alst to each country and Island of the world while in the sup)plement is contained: legal guide. It is ai work of merit, anc we cmmen it to the patronage of omi eitzens.

This noin Hot Supper. The pleasing announcement is made in our columns this week that a Hot Supper, consisting of oysters and other thios, will be given by the ladies con I nected with the Methodist Church, on Friday evening, in the Agricultural Society Fair Hall (Mower building) for a special church purpose. It is needlcss to sav that a good time is anticipated, a4 our citizens. Nomig and old, fair mlidens and gallant *ths, old hache lors, married men and matrons are ccI dially invited to (race the hall with their presence and partake of the deli cacies, at a very moderate price. Come one, come all, and help the ladies in a very laudable undertaking, remember ing that they never go back on any en terprise proposed for the public good. Tickets can be ha-l at Dr. Fant's store, or :t the Hmm book store. Skating. The ponds around town presented a lively appearance several days last week during the cold snap. Skaters were I out in larcre numbers. Many of them glided over the ice w't.h the skill and grace of experts, while others would have got along better if they could have accommodated their skates to a sitting posture. Some of the boys skated on the pond at Jones' tanyard Thursday, the 9th. Robert Bruce broke through the ice in water over his head, but by great ex ertions he got out, after cutting and scratching his hands severely. Fearing that he might not get permission to skate again if the accident should come to the ears of the home folks he con cluded to build up a fire at the pond and dry himself. In this process, however, he failed; for being in a hurry he burnt off the tail of his coat. Wallie Bruce left his watch on the bank Tues day, the 7th, for fear of breaking it while skating, and when he went to get it again it was'nt there-had skated into some wayfarer's pocket So you need'nt ask W-.'.ie for the time of day any more. The best place for skating was on Rikard's pond, three miles from town. The ice there was very strong and smooth. Monday, Tuesday and Wed nesday large crowds gathered there and enjoyed the fun. Personal. Mr. Hugh Workman left for Kansas Thursday. He expects to be gone about two vears. F. W. Fant, Esq., has opened his lawv office in the room lately occupied by Mr.. J. A. Chapman as a hook store. Silas Johnstone, Esq., has filed his bond as Master. His sureties arc James A. Crotwell, RI. L. McCaughirin aLnd A. M. Bowers. Messrs. Thfeodore Johnstone and R. C. Maybin have bought out the stock of drugs, &c., of Dr. W. F. Pratt, dec'd., and are now conducting the business at the same stand, under the firm name of Johnstone & Maybin. Mr. Foot has moved into his new stores in Amnisoka. He has his groce ries and dry goods in separate apart ments, with everything in apple-pie or der. The building is on.e of the hand somest and best in town. Col. T. J. Lipscomb, Superintendent of the Penitentiary, came up Friday to attend to moving his family to Colum bia. We are sorry to lose the Colonel as a tizen, baft glad that he is in apo sition whiere he can do the State good service. Milledge L. Bonham, Jr., Esq., who has been editing the Ninety-Six Guar dien andl practicing law at Ninety-Six for the past three or four years, has come to Newberry and taken up his abode in our flourishing city. Mr. Boham, a son of ex-Gov. Bonham, of dgefield, is a young man of very fine character and ability, and will niake a good citizen. He atnd his charming lady a daughter of Judge Aldrich, will rciv ahearty welcome in Newvberry. We i;id the following in the Abbe v'ille Medium of last week: "Rev. NI. E. Broadus has purchased thd Caldwell plantationi in Wh'ite Hall township, andl will shortly become a citizen of this Cony We welcome all such good me oour midst, aiid :vish that wej had a thousand more like him." The Medium is premature; for Mr. B~roaus will live in the lower part of Laurens County this year, retaining the pastorate of Bush River and 'te other churches ho ministered to last Year. The departure of Mr. WV. A. Frizelle on Thursday last for New York, where he will remain a short time p)revious to leaving for England, is regretted by his many friends. For. the past three years as the chief clerk in the drug store of Dr. WV. F. Pratt, de.ceased, his~ emient fitnes's for so responsibile a posi. tion gained him the respect ;apd conti dence of all. Mr. Frizelle is an ex perienced druggist and chemist, wel] u in bis professson. and this combined with fine b)usiness habits, unassuming and gentlemanly deportment will com mend him to favor wherever lie may decide to settle. Our best wishes go with him, and the hope that his success in life may be commensurate with his merits. Hosts of People are Mlartyrs.

T1'he intimate synpya ......In h,-~iin i~niI tho ~ihdornina,1 re Messrs. W. L. Gray and John W. Fowler, of Laurens, Carried up : load of convicts from the Penitentiary to Laurens County Saturday. They had sixty-seven on board; lifty-six men and eleven women. They got them to ditch and work lands on Warrior and Durbin Creeks. The contract with the State is for one year, the State clothing the convicts, ad tihe hirers feeding :nd paying the State :. 1 ait-ad per month for them. The convicts were al I colored, were well clad. and in line spirits. Whilo the train wns standing at the depot for three hours, hundreds of people, principally darkies, crowdeul around to get a sight of them, the coil victs mcan tiue whiling away the time in dancing and otherwise exhibit 1ng that elastic spirit that characterizes the negro under every circumstance. Among the convicts were three sen tenced from this County at the late ex tra term of Court-Czesar Cannon, John Weris and Arnold Cato. Messrs. Fowler and Gary say that the I conviets are anxious to be hired out in the up country, except that they (ton't want to go to the Greenwood & Augnsta Railroad. They say that there are ap plications to take every man in the penitentiary and a thousand or so more besides. These parties in Laurens who hired this batch had forty-seven before, mak ing the number now on hand one hun dred and fourteen. Hon. George Johnstone. Newberry may well be proud of her Representatives in the Legislature, as all arc men of fine minds and sterling worth; hut during a recent visit to the Capital just before the adjournment of the Legislature, we were particularly impressed with the speeches and posi tion taken by the Hon. George John stone, her Junior member in point of years only, in reference to the fraudu lent Bonds due by the State. He was a member of the Committee on Ways and Means, and to him, perhaps, more than any other member, are the people of this StaLe indebted for not having this year to pay a burdensome and unjust tax of $150,000, the interest o, spu rious and forged bonds. Ile championed this matter successfully in his commit tee and before tile House, making on the floor of the Iouse one of the most powerful and unanswerable speeches of the session. lHe also stood by the Bond Court when an effort was made to repeal it, and the decision of that Court demon strated the wisdom of his position, for they decided in favor of the "Bond Committee's report," thus saving tile State millions. This gives us a good excuse for not p)aying those bonds, for a State can never he sued(; but South Carolina wauived this right; went into Court as a private citizen and took her chances, proved conelusively that the Bonds were fraudulent and ought not to be paid-and got a dlecree in her favor. Mr. Johnstone had voted to es tablish this Court at the last session, and advocated earnestly the continuance of it. With such talents as he has, and his justness and judgment in all mat ters, we predict for him a grandl future The Phonograph. Mr. WV. C. Chapman and brother exhibited one of Edison's phonographs in Thespian IIall for two days and nights last week. The narne derwtes the character of the instrument. It comes from two Greek words-phonos, sound, and graphein, to write. It (oes, literally, write sounds. The instrument is rather dliflicult of explanation to one who has never seen it: but it is one of the simplest pieces of machinery imaginable, and is based on one of the simplest lawvs of natural p)hilosophy.? All sound is canused by vibrations of the air. You strike a bell; the bell vibrates, putting the air (or atmosphere) in motion; tile air strikes against the tym panum i, or drumi, of the ear, and the result is-sound. Yo,u pa a OughI how 'aeross ai tihile string; the stinIg vibrates. or is set in mlotion with the sanme resilit. You force the air from your lungs through tile larynx; sound is p)rodluced, and the teeth, tongue nu1( lips shape that sound into words. TIo aLpply this law to the phionogr a ph: The phlonogrnaph has a cylindrical drum over vhieb a sheet of tin foil is tightly sjretched. The other part of the in stra.ment is the mouth piece of mica, or isinglass, thbrough which paisses a neettle, the poit of the needle barely touching tihe tin foil already mentioned. At tac~hed :o the mica is a mouth piece. You lput youri mouth to this mouth piece and talk loudly ; the air is dis tugbed and sets the mica to vibraig; as it vibrates the needle moves for ward and back. indenting tile tin foil. As you talk a crank is turned which re volves the tin foil, which by the means of tile thrfead's of a screw, moves from right to left. Now look at the tin foil, and you see the little (lotted lines made by the needle. That is a register of whatever you have spoken into the mouth piece. Move the tin foil back so that the point of the needle touches it just where it did ihen you began to talk into the mouth piece. Now, it i, ready to talk back, and to reproduce your own words, Turn tile crank: the point of the needle passes over the same lines on the tin foil that it passed over while you were talking to it; the needle enters the little indentations or dots it made wvhile passing over it be fore; this causes the mica in the mouth piece to vibrate precisely as it did while you were talking, and precisely the same sounds ar.e reproduced. DJo you sete the point? No! WVell, we ~ean't help it. Go see the instrument, and you will understand it at once. It is the most wonderful invention of the Iage, not excepting the telephone. It was invenlted by 1:dison, of Menia Park, New Jersey, thec greatest me ebanical genius that ever lived. No one can see it without wondier. It is ~tart1in(7 at first, arid x.ou feel that some eTai did so. Mr. Jwgar made it I talk German and sing L Frenen song; Mr. Seloltz, a German song; Mr. Z. P. Moses, an Irish melody; Maj. W. F. Nance, two stanzas of poetry, &c. It yelled out "Hurrah for 1Iampton" several times Very lustily. Those who miiised seeing and hear iug the phonograph missed a rich treat. Various.

The gentleman who measured his length on the ground in front of the IIH,ALD office last 'T'hiursday, made a visible impression in the soft mud. Ile never opened his mouth. We gave a few crumbs of advice to youths last week, and add now to little boys and girls to keep out of the sugar dish-times are too hard to use the saccharine article except in the le gitimate way of sweetening. It is melancholy to reflect that many a timid, shrinking maiden, who hast summer swung upon the gate with her lover, is now engaged in half-soling the same individual's pants. Some people are like green lobsters, they never know when to let go w en they shake hands with you. A thousand dollars in gold weighs four pounds (lead weight, and that's the reason we don't carry it around in our pockets. We have enough burdens to bear with out this.
