Chew Jackson's Best Sweet Navy Tobaceo. 48-1y Taxes. Some Counties, in which two or three thousand dollars have been collected, are boasting of the promnptn'ess of their taxpayers. New berry County has real ly something to boast of. Our Treasu rer has issued, from May 1st to the 2th, inclusive, 412 receipts,aggregating SG,045.58. For the like period last year tihe num ber of receipts was 332, aggregating $5,146.15, leaving a balande in favor of 1879 of 80 receip)ts, amounting to $899, 43. Considering the differences in taxes last year and this the above showing in dicates that the County is in a better condition than it was last year. Ice will be kept for Bale during the season, and can be had at all times at the Confectionery Store of II. A. Burns. 20-tf. Religious. The protracted meetin.g which b)egan in the Methodist Church last. Su~nday week was not as largely attended as was hoped for, but it has been produc tive of good to those who took part in the services, and a wolesomne influence no doubt will be experienced by dhe many who did not have the time or the inclination to attend. It is startlingly strange that so few men and women have time to devote to religion. The Rev. J. A. Porter, one among the most faithful and devotedly pious ministers in the Conference, assisted the pastor during the past week. The Rev. Coke Smith delivered an earnest and eloquent sermon Wednesday night. The meeting closed on Friday night. Special Notice. All persons indebted to the HERALD.1 Book Store by memorandum accounts, are requested to call-and settle at once.

A ogood old lady, a model wife and the mother of a large number of chil dren told us at the Templar's celebra tion the other day, while we were dis clssing the merits of a piece of mutton rib, and talking temperance, that she had never made a drop of wine in all her life, on her boys' account.

It was onr pleasure to mix with the ladies on the occasion of the Templars pic nic, and we felt greatly refreshed andl benefitted by it-always do. In ladies' society a man is safe. and well cared for, especially ait a pic nic; they know all about the nice things, which are the sweetest of the cakes, the ten deest of the chickens, and then they have such a dlelightful way of deluding a man, especially an editor, into the idea that he is eating next to nothing, and that this is silver cake, that gold, and that the lightest of jelly cake. Unlike Dr. Hliden who used some uncompli mentary remarks about ladies, we can only speak in terms of praise. The ugly ones are those who are ugly in temper and mind, and they are scarce, a beautiful face and person are not the only indexes to judge by, we have heard the low soft voice, and seen the smile which rendered the plainest face beau tiful. We like thenm all, and will con tinue to do so while reason holds her sway. The Academy Picnic. Tfhe annual picic of the young ladies of Capt. Pifer's Academy, camne off on Friday last in the beautiful grove belonging to Mr. Cline, a spot partieularly adapted for sylvan frolis of this character. The day, too, was delightfvlly charming, the atmosi.here being fresh and bracing, and ha.d the young ladies been gifted with the power to choose weather best suited for their 'fes:' they could not have done better for this ocea sion. Trhe majority of the litdle misses and their gallant little chevaliers were conveyed to the ground in wagons, the most approv ed style known to Young Amterica, and the miore crow ded the better, the more advanced in teens and dignity of charm preferring less crowded and noisy modes. Thiere was no difficulty, however, in getting there, ample convenience being afforded, and it was pleasant to see so large a cro wd of pa rents and children, "uncles, aunts and cous ins" collected together on the green sward. As no one felt particularly called upon to open the festivities or set the ball in motion for fun, the morning hours till dinner were occupied by niothers in passing around their babies and comparing notes, (and we are pleased to say there were sonie fine specimens present;) by the little misses (what a host of thenm there were) ini troop ig about in dozens, costumed in beautiful variety, the principal arnd striking features being colored streamers or sashes and mar vellously striped stockings-how pretty they looked and how admiringly fond pa rents gazed at themt ; by the larger misses and youths in peepi'ng slyly at each other a few only finding courage to couple and talk sweet nothings under shady oaks ; by gentlemen who were attracted by the pros pect of the basket irefreshmtient-particular h good on these occasions, and in the get ting up of which the ladies of Newberry canot be excelled-itn counting the rmin utes and wondering whetn the goodies would be spread.. D)uring this quiet initerregnum the ropri.etor~s of ice cream, soda fountain and lemotiade stands stoodl in melancholy idleess waining for somethling to turn up. 80oaethiig did and tbat was dinner, a spread fit for* royalty, a glorious spread,a test of gogg things, which were enjoyed by al. Alfter ample justice had been done, and which r< quired a long time in the ac comulihent, and the ice of restraintt and bashfulness being broken the fun? comn meneed, then soda water, ice cream and lemonade followed each other in quick suc . .si.n tie trst increasing. and the The Good Templar's Picnic Came off Wednesday, 21st, in the grove at Jones' Tan Yard. It was in tended as an Anniversary Celebration of the Order in this County. The at tendance was not as large as was ex pected; yet there was quite a number present. The day was a beautifuil one, and every arrangement had been made to insure the comfort and pleasure of all. A stand for the speakers, another for the Band, and seats for both ladies and gentlemen. besides a bountiful sup ply of good thiugs to satisfy the crav ings of the inner man, had been pre pared. James P:,.cker, Esq(., acted as master of Ceemonies and introduced the speakers with a few appropriate re marks. Rev. J. C. Hiden, D.D., of Green ville, spoke first. The Doctor has, we believe, a fine reputation as a speaker; and his advocacy of temperance has given him a reputation in that line that aroused high expectations. The audi ence expected to hear something better than ordinary. That expectation, how ever, was not gratified. The speaker was entertaining for the most part; told some laughable anecdotes, an(d he tells them well; but there was nothing new nor eloquent in his address, :md very little concerning the subjept in hand. The objects of speaking are to amuse, instruct and persuade. His address, as to the first particular, may be regarded as a success. The other speaker, Rev. A. Coke Smith, of Greenville, delivered a very good address. He spoke in favor of prohibitory laws-laws to prohibit the sale of spirituous liqnors except by drug gists, as a medicine. Although we do not agree with his views on this sub ject, yet we give him cred:t of main taining them with much ability. After the speeches all present partook of a dinner. Concerning this feature of the occasion there was only one opin ion; that a',s that it was excellent. The Band was present, and added greatly to the pleasures of the day by their fine playing. At night Dr. Hiden delivered an ad dress in Thespian Hall to a good audi ence, his object being to overthrow sonic cf the popular fallacies concern ing freedom. After having heard Dr. Iliden on these two occasions we can readily un derstand why he is so much disliked by liquor dealers. His abuse of them is unbounded; they are portrayed by him as the vilest, meanest creatures of hu man kind ; their gains he styles "coined damnation and shining hell." No won der he is not popular with them-a fact which appear.s to give him much pleasure. lie doesn't stop with the sellers; but is almost as bitter against the drinkers. If he supposes that he is helping the cause of temperance by such speeches as he delivered here he is greatly mistaken. lHe not only does no good as a temperance man, but he is certainly destroying his influence as a minister of the gospel. A minister, if lie expects to do good to mankind, must cultivate their good graces. No minister can influence those who dislike him. A minister should not compromise his ideas of right and wrong; but he should exercise some discretion and common sense. We might say a good deal about the Doctor's style. To use his expression, we "object" to it-decidedly. It is al together too clownish, and his language is not always as chaste as it should be. We make these criticisms in all kind ness; would much prefer to speak in more complimentary terms; but cannot do so consistently. The Helena School Exhibition and Picnic Was held in the grove at Helena Fri day, the 23d. This is a colored school, and has a large number of pupils, the average attendance being between 110 and 120. The principal of the school is the wife of R. E. Williams, and she is assisted by the wife of WV. HI. Snead. The exercises Friday consisted in decla mation, dialogues and singing, in all which the pupils acquitted themselves remarkably well, there being not a sin gle failure in the whole programme. Eight or ten whites, including the trus tees and the H-ERALD Editors, were present by invitation, and all unite in pronouncing the exhibition a perfect success. These were called upon for speeches after the exercises were over, and one of their number, in behalf of all, in a few words complimented the teachers and pupils on the manner in which they had performed their duties. Rev. Mance was then called on, and made a very sensible address of ten minutes. The visitors were not allow ed to leave till they had been treated to one of the best picnic dinners they ever enjoyedl. Dickens' Bleak House Took an immense hold on the public mind, and yielded its famous author a handsome revenue. It is our privilege to sound the praises of a house wvhich far exceeds it, and had it been the priv ilege of that illustrious Englishman to have seen this house he might never have written his "Old Curiosity Shop," no, never. We allude to the house of Messrs. Kingsland & Heath, not the least of whose attractions is their accom plished man Friday, in which, the store, not Friday, is displayed an endless va riety of rich, rare, beautiful and useful articles in China, Crockery, Glass, Tin, Wood, Willow and Iron WVare, Pic tures, Frames, La mps, Toys, in short, all the thousand and one things which help to make up the suIm of a housekeeper's I hii~io~~ These ~entlemcn have made Court. The Extra Court of Common Pleas, which began the 6th instant, adjourned Thursday, the 22nd. Judge Aldrich, by request of the Bar, consented to hold the term for the purpose of clearing, as far as practicable, the dockets. Since 1868 our Courts have been very irregu lar. The Judges that we have had, adii the juries that had been almost invaria bly drawn, were incompetent to deal with the Livil business. Cases accumu lated from year to year, till at the open ing of the late terni there were upon Calendar 1-the jury Calendar-101 cases; and (n Calendar 2. 121; ases. The Court was called for a time of the sear when farmers are very busy put ting in and starting their crops, ad some complaint was at first made on this account. The opposition, however, developed very little strength. It was thought by the Bar that much incon venience would be saved to witnesses, who for the most part were farmers, by assigning certain cases to certain d1ays. so that their attendance would not he required except for a day or two, and this plan was accordingly adopted. A great deal of work was accomplished. and Judge Aldrich richly deserves the thanks of the people of this County for his self-sacrificing labors in their be half. Of the 101 cases on Calendar 1, 62 were continued, 10 were settled, 9 were struck off, and there were 20 ver dicts by the jury. Of the 126 cases on Calendar 2-issues of law and fact-103 were continued, 15. were ended, and 8 were struck off. A large number of the continued cases are almost ended, and are only kept on the Calendars awaiting confirmation of sales, &c. Thursday morning, before Court ad journed, Maj. Jones, senior member of the Bar, arose, and addressing the Court said: May it please your Honor: Before Court is adjourned I have a mat ter to bring to your Honor's attention. I am not in favor of lauding public offi cers indiscriminately. When a public officer discharges his duty he does no more than he is required to do; but when he goes beyond the requirements of his duty, and sacrifices his own con venience and time and money for the public good, it is proper that he should receive the praise due such conduct. He then read the following preamble and resolutions: At a meeting of the Newberry Bar held on 22nd May 1879, L. J. Jones, Esq., was called to the chair, and L. W. Simkins, Esq., requested to act as Sec retary; and the following preamble andl resolutions were offered and unani mously adopted: WHEREAS, the Honorable Alfred P. Aldrich, Judge of the Second Circuit, has, of his kind interest in tihe admin istration of justice in our County, and in response to the request of this Bar, held an extra term of the Court~of Common Pleas at this place for the two and a half weeks just past: AND WHERIEAS, his Honor has, dar ing the said term, brought to a conclu sion a very large number of cases which had encumbered our dockets for years and, by remaining undisposed of had caused serious injury to many of our citizens. AND WVHEREAS, his Honor has con ducted tihe business of the said term with unvarying diligence and impar tiality, dignity and ability. Now, therefore, be it unanimously resolved by the Bar of Newberry. 1st. That his Honor Judge Aldrich is entitled to the gratitude of the whole people of Newberry. 2nd. That his Honor has theunqual ified thanks and respect of this Bar for the able manner in which he has per formed his said self-imposed duties. 3d. That the Chairman of this meet ing present these resolutions to his Hion or in open Court, and have them printed in the newpapers of this County. His Honor Judge Aldrich replied in a few appropriate words, and Court was adjourned, Too High. Twenty-five cents a mile is pretty steep fare on a railroad, yet that is what a party of seven gentlemen had to pay Friday between Newberry and Helena. From "time immemorial" it has not been customary to charge any fare be tween these two points; but the small boys and darkies got to crowding the cars so much as to become a nuisance, and the authorities recently began -to charge in order to break down this nui sance. It is perfectly proper that they should charge somethinlg: but twenty five cents a mile is extortionate and un reasonable. These seven men had busi ness at Helena that day, and wvould have paid five or ten cents cheerfully for the ride; but they consider it an outrage (on a small scale) that they were compelled to pay a quarter to ride one mile, especially as they had had no notice beforehand of any such rate. Free Reading. Wood's IHousehold Magazine from Jan uary to April, 1879, inclusive, contains over 400 handsomely Illustrated Stories, Poems, Essays. etc.. concerning as many different topics of universal inter est. The price of these numbers is 60 cents; but they will be mailed, post paid, together with a $1 Oil Chromo, for only 30 cents (in stamps) to any per son who has not seen the Magazine since its recent enlargement and im provement. Also, these numbers may be returned in good order after being read, in which case the four succeeding numbers will be mailed in exchange fr thm. A n Agmnt wanted at every Various and all About. That is when possible, For items are hard to find. Therefore we again request our friends to give us all floating news. The rains have fallen, and the hot sun has come and the farmer fights grass. The stands of cotton and corn were never finer than at this season. There will be oats enough made in the County to supply all Jeands, But it is not possible yet to say how much corn will be made, For the rise in cotton has once more made the average farier think there's millions in it. And the bottom doliar may be safely staked on a large area beng planted in cotton. We should not be surprised if some plough up corn to make room for cot ton. Cotton is growing beautifully. The soda fountains are booming. Mr. Win. Zobel, of Helena, is adding an upper story to his dwelling-house. Farmers are feeling their oats-with scythe blades. The crop is a good one. Mr. Eb. B. Blease has gone to Char leston this week with thirty beeves to sell. Did you hear our cry last week, reader? Do you owe for the HERALD! If so come in and pay. Burlington says: "Iowa half a mil lion ;" and Cleveland exclaims: "Ohio several millions." Charleston strawberries sold in town last week for 7 1-2 cents per quart; home raised for 10 cents. The Post Office will be moved into Mr. Mower's new building opposite F. N. Parker's about the first of June. Sheriff Wheeler has thirteen boarders at his hostelry. Judge Pressly will re lieve him of some of them in June. The pic nic season is almost over, but College Commencements are coming to the front, after them neighborhood bar becues. Some of the people along Saluda River are complaining that fish sluices are not kept open at all the mill dams, as the law requires. This is a great country; a wonderful country; a country thpt is-it is-and we; wvell we would like to see the man who will dare dispute it. Some of the best eatists of the town and County were at the Good Temnplars pic nic Wednesday, and no one blames them, it was a good place to be at. Farmers all concur in saying that Gen. Green is more aggressive in this campaign than in any previous advan ces. A stout resistance is being made. The Band played some fine pieces in Hornsby's grove Saturday afternoon. They play there every Saturday at 51-2 P. M., and all are invited to come out and hear the music. Tomatoes were first eaten in this cpuntry in 1823; when the first will be eaten this season in this County, or who will have that pleasure, canndt be said at this early date. The old woman mentioned last week in the HERALD as being too bard for the Council, and who at last accounts "wanted to be an angel," is still in a happy frame of mind. One of the HERALD editors going home the other night ran into a rank Canada thistle and was painfully punc tured. The sidewalks bristle with this unsightly weed. How beautiful is youth! A little moon-shine, a few musical water-drops, the strain of a song, and 'the young heart experiences poetry as it never could be entrusted to paper. The Cleveland Voice makes this re ply to a scientific inquirer: "You are wrong; trichinoe do not infect pig-iron; you can continue to eat the latter with impunity." 'I know I am a perfect bear in my manners,' said a young farmer to his sweetheart. 'No indeed, you are not, John; you have never hugged me yet; you are more sheep than bear.' The heat of summer is felt at last, and the intrusive, never idle fly lights on ones nose and rears up on his hind legs without fear of falling. We wait now the advent of the mosquito. There must have been a falling out in the planetary system last week, the effects of the coolness resulting there from being felt down here. Flannels were resumed and fires comfortable. Beef commands in the Abbeville mar ket, says the rress & Banner, from 5 to 6 cents per pound; butter, 10 to 15; eggs, 8 to 10. Why is beef cheaper in Abbeville than Newberry? The members of the colored band are trying to raise money to repair their in strumnents. They propose to begin playing again as soon as they get their horns in fix. In making a crust of any kind do not melt the shortening. -Let it be as cold as possible, and knead it through the flour. Melting it injures the crust. Crusty people are imnprovedl by melt mng. The four pic nics last week-Good Temnplars, Capt. Pifer's, the Helena colored school, and that at Bush River Church-afforded a large amount of happiness. Who dares say Newherry is not a liyely place? There is an old adage that cows far off wear long horns; b)ut it is not so, close examination proving the falsity of thfaig ewreipesdwt the saying.4 We were Timpresse withni pockets ht a br-oken comb andi an ode on spring, that he pheed a ten dollar bill in one .f t1w pockets and returned the pants. H1appy editor. Some one wrote to t he (ditor 6fa coun try paper to ask how he would 'break an ox?' The editor answered as follows: 'If only one ox, a good way woill be to hoist him. by means of a chain attached to his tail, to the top of a pole forty feet from the ground. Then hoist him, by a rope tied to hi:s horns, to another pole. Then diest vni on his back a live pile-driver, and, if that don't break him. let him tart a country newspaper and trust people for subscriptions. One of the two ways will do it, sure., "Young Trout-Fisher" wants us to tell him "how to throw a fly." My young friend, there are various ways of throwing a fly. The collar-and-elhow is about the squarest way of doing it, as the advantages then are abc:t equal. If you are quick on the flop, you might try him side-hold. If we wanted to throw a fly we would prefer a run-and catch-catch who catch can. If you don't want to take any risk in the busi ness, place a banana-skin in front of the fly and let him throw himself. [Cincinnali &turday Night. Personal. Mrs. F. W. Fant is on a visit to her parents in Richmond, Kentucky. James M. Baxter, Esq., is in Charles ton, on business in the U. S. Court. Mr. Tilman Wardlaw, of Abbeville, has been spending a few days in New berry. Gen. Sam'l McGowan, of Abbeville, stopped over in Newberry Friday night on his return from Speaker Sheppard's wedding. Capt. U. B. Whites, who has filled the position of County Treasurer effi ciently for the past two years, has been reappointed by Governoe Simpson. Mr. J. L. Perry, who formerly taught a writing school here, was admitted to the Bar last week before the Supreme Court. He will practice in Abbeville. Among the visitors here last week we were pleased to notice Mr. John Gorman, formerly of the Columbia Ho tel, but who is now the lessee of the Moultrie House on Sullivan's Island, Charleston. He was the guest of Mr. E..A. Scott. Thomas S. Moorman and M. A. Car lisle, Esgs., got back Saturday from "the hub". They report having had an ex ceedingly pleasant time, and they have many interesting things to tell of what they saw when they were "down 'to Bosting." George Johnstone, Esq., went over to Judge Wallace's, at Union, last week -not 'to dissolve an attachment," but to take part in the consummation of an attachment of a different kind from that with which the legal fraternity are often called upon to deal. He was one of the groomsm en for Speaker Sheppard, on the occasion of his marriage to Miss Helen Wallace, the beautiful and ac complished daughter of the Judge. Eclectic Magazine.
