The regulations prescribed by tho Ilonorablo Commissioner of Internal Revenuo for the distillation of brandy from fruit, providos: First-ThaL ov% ery person who desires to engago in the distillation of brandy from fruit, must givo notice of his intentions up on Form 271, to engage therein, and must register his stills upon Form 26. These blanks are furnished by tho Collector of the District, and are to be filled out by the person desiring to distill. After notice has been filed and before operations can bo begun the distiller must make a good and sufli cient bond, the penalty to be fixed by the Colloctor, with two good avd suf. ficient suroties, conditioned that the distiller will comply with all the re - venue laws and will pay the Govern-. ment tax of 90 cente por gallon upon all brandy produced by bim, whether for himself or for other parties. Af'. ter these blanks have all been properly filled out amnd accepted by the Collec, tor, a survey of the still to be used will be made at the expense of the Government, provided the still is a new one and has never been surveyed, and a plan of survey furnished the distiller, from whichho will be required to operate his distillery. Af ter these preliminary preparations havo been made, tho disttlle,, upon rooeiving notice frorn the Collentor, can commence operations. lb wvill be required to keep a dialy record of his operations in a book prescribed by the Honorablo Commuissioner of In-. torual Revenue, (Form 25k,) which can be obtained upon application to the Collector, and the payment of *1; and he will be further required to make a monthly report on F~orm 15 of lisa operations for each month up-. on blanks furnished by the Collector After the operations of the distillery have ceased, the brandy produced must be guaged by a Government of' floor, at 6he expense of the Govern mont; and no spirits can be removed for consumption or sale until alter the payinon6I of the Government tax of 6~0 conta per gallon. All brandy produ ced muet be placed in casks of not less that) ten gallons cap)acity, and no spir its will be allowed to be placed in any smaller vessels, no matter what may be the circumstances connected with the furnishing of materials from whicb the brandy was produced. One person may distill materials furnished by others, but the tax upon all brandy produced must be p)aid by the person who distills the same, and before he delivers it for consumption, or salo. Under no circumstances can brandy bo delivered from the distil lery before the payment of tax, with, out subjecting the distiller to all pains and penalties for violation of the ro venue laws. No special tax or license is required of fruit distillers, the only demand of the government being iho tax of ninety cents per gallon for all the spirits produced at the distillery, with out regard to the person who furn ished the materials. Distillers will do well to remember one important fact, and that is, that the-gdvernment looks to them for the payment of the tax upon all the bran dy produced by them, and all ar, rangeonents made to distill materials for others, shoOkd be made with this distinetL understanding. All neegegry blanks will be furn islped Ispona pplication to Collector's Offie at Columbia, S, C. 4M TRE"IWOKEN13 13NTINX4Z s 6$-nopw of th" Proce4dings pf the Pickd.s Couitj Musics' and Sabbath School Oonvention.

Let each school and society send up a contribution of $1 by their delegates for that purpose. We cannot make a synopsis as full and satisfactory as is desired. Respectfully, W. G. FIELD, Secretary. FOR THlE PIcKE:Ns SENTINEL. The Public Roads. As the time of' year has arrived when it is customary to work out the public roads of thme County, the atten, tion of the County Coinmissioners is earnostly requested to this important matter. If there in one duty of said officials, more importan t than another, or mcro important than ail, others, it is that of' giving due attention to the working of the public roads. Once, a long time ago, under the adminmisra. tion or ono-of the most enorg'atic men of the County, Col. J. J. Groeham, tbo fino public.rokdo of Pickons County elioitel the commendation of overy. body. It is remembered, however, that in the potformanco of this ardu ous duty, by the aforesaid gentleman, he becumo the object of much person al abuso, for requiring the faithfuil per formanco of road daty on tho pal of 41l the road hands tinder his imno diate jurisdiction, but h sw0rv0d not from tho.path of duty until ho had accomplished his purposo of put, ting the public roads under his con trol, in tho best possiblo crder for travelling. And for this faithful per formnance of duty on his part, as Cuni misioner, he had the quiet approval :>f his own conscience and tho hearty , pproval of the community. But wvo havo had but few Col. Greshams t3ince his time. A "lick" and a "promise" is the p)olicy uow. a-days until, in some pLortions of the County, the public roads have become almost imn,passablE for a vehicl( of ainy kivd. A4 the prosent CommIiissioners are a now sot of Imlen, young and onergetic, we trust thatt a'll entirely new kind of poficy will bo at oico inaugurated in the impor tant delrtinent of rond wvorking. Requiro the hands to put their several roads in the bctt )ossiblo condition and have each road inspected af tor be ing worked, to know that it las been dono. Tl'o special attention of 1he Commissioners is called to the dread ful condition of the public road lead% ing from 8. . McW hlorter's to Picks 0nsvillo, on the Pondloton road. For soveral years past tho work on that road hIs been slightly dono, and, as a necessary consequenco, it has becomo worse and worso until it has beecome almotst impassablo for a loaded toam. The crossing at the branch at Mc Whorter's should be bridged, and the hill on both sidee of the branch should bo thoroughly worked. There is no oxcuseo for scarcity of hands, as they have a fine body of mcin, and can make a splendid road if requtire'd by the propor auuthiority. "A word to the wviso is suftlicient." Let the Comimis sionecrs see to it. ONE Wnto KNOws. FOR TIlE l'ICKENs SENTINEL. SALunITY TownshIr, Aug. 4. Mu. EDIToR : As the election for fenco or no foznco around the crop~s is now being discussed. I will try to give some of my views ini favor of foncing the cropst I have carefully studied this subject, and I1 havo con.. eluded it will not do this high up the eodntr'y, it might do ini the lower part of the Stato, but here we have rails aind plenty of timber to make more when wo nIeedl thoem, and we have a good range for our stock to run in and keep fat, otherwise, if they woreI enclosed in an old sedge pasture, if they lived, it would require some meal and other food to keep them, even during the summer season. We can, in some time fix our pastures, 'tis true, by sowing grass seeds, but it takes.tim'o to prepare our lands for pasturing, and it will take a groat deal of labor to get them ready. Now, suppose we make. a calculation-the time we loose in moving the fence from around our farms, and the attention we give our p)astures be devoted to mak ing mnanuro to go under our corn, wheat and other vegetables, it will pay us a great deal more in the spring of the year (if we pasture our stock), we would have to bo fixing our pastures when we ought to be fixing our crop. Again suppose we have no place to fix a pasture only at the back side of our farm-we want our stock at home some time, especially the milch cow; it would be a great deal of trouble to muzzle the cow to take her home otherwise, how could we drive her through the crop. Again, we would be obliged to have different pastures, for it wvould not do to turn the cow and calf together-so the so~m and substance is, that the expense over, runs the profit. So we are doing very well now, and I think we had better Jet very wecll stand, and let us try to pay our taxes and get out of insolvency beforo we expose our crop~s to the world to make public roads though thorn. Again, suppose Mr. A. 2I. and C. are all close neighbors?-. Supposo Mr. A's pigs gets out of the pasture and gets into Mr. C's potatoo patoh anid plows them alt up-Mr. C. gets very angry about Mr. A's pigs, and Mr. C. privately goos and turns Mr. A's cow out on Mr. B's crop, which will cause Mr. B3. t.o got angry also. Mr. B. wants damages mrade good, so ho pens A's cows, advertises and sells losr) 66 we find hat if this law is carried out it will create rmaliCe, OnVy and strife between neighbors that ba,e always before boon noigbbors of a congenial fooling. So, I say lot the foncos stand. as they are, and if possible, put more rails on top; and I say to the boys of Salubrity Town phip, rally and spread yourselves, and meet at Liberty tbo 18th Instant, and knock it all in the head, t>eonuse if such a law as that passos in this County we are ruined, for ever and etornally. low have we made out thus far? How did our grandfathers and our great grandfathore make out with their crops fenced. I again sayt,that I am willing to cling to the old fence law, it has dono for ages past, and will do for ages to como with a small exponse. I hope the people of Salubrity Township will bo of one mind and come out on the 18th and vote to fence the crops. There is no uso of ono raying any more now about the fenco law. I hopo tho good poo-, P10 of this County can see for thom,, solvos the interest of their own w0ll furo in tho futuro. J. A. II. A Result of Obstructed Digestion. Among the hurtful consequences of obstrue ted digestion, is the impoverishment of the blood, and since a deteriative condition of the vital fluid not only produces dangerous organ ic weakness, but, according to the best medi cal authorities, sometimes causes asphyxia. it is apparent that to improve the quality of the blood by promoting digestion and assimila. tion, is a wise precaution. Hostetter's Stom ach Bitters is precisely the remedy for this purpose, sinco it stimuilat es the gastric j uices, conquers those bilious and vacuative irregu larities which interfere with the digestive processes, promotes assimilation of the food by the blood, andi purifies as well as enriches it. The signs of improvement in healtl in consequence of using the bitters are speedily apparent in an accession of vigor, a gain in bodily substance, and a regular and active per formance of cvery physical function Masonic Notice.

There is no disease of the human system for which the VEOETINE cannot be used with perfect safety, as it does not contain any metallic or poisonous com. pound. It is composed exclusively of barks, roots, and herbs; it is-very pleasant to take; every child likes it. It is safe and reliable, as the following evidence will show: Rev. 0. T. Walker says: The following unsolicited testirmonial from Rev. 0. T. Walker, D.D., formerly pastor of Bowdoin-square church, Boston, and at pre sent settled in Providence, R. 1, must be deemed as reliable 'evidence. No one should fail to observe that this testimoiial is th.e re sult of two years' experience with the use of Vegetine in the Rev. Mr. Walker's family, who now pronounowe it invaluable: PnovInENcE., R. I., 164 Transit Street. 1H. R. STZvv.Ns, ESQ. I feel bound to express with my signature the high value I place upon your Vegetine. My family have used it for the last two years In nervous debility it is invaluable, and I recommend it to all who may need an invig orating, renovating tonic. 0. T. WALKEtt, Formerly Pastor Bowdoin-squaro Church, Boston. A Walking Miracle. MN. 11. I. SThVv--Dear Sir: Though a stranger, I want to inform you what Vegetine has done for ie. Last Christmas Scrofulai made its appear ance in my system-large running ulcers ip peating on me, as follows: one on each of my arms; one on my thigh, which extended to the sent; one on my head, which ate into the skull bone; one on my left leg, which be came so bad that two physicians came to am putate the limb, though upon consultation concluded not to do so, as my whole body was full of scrofula; they deemed it advisable to cut the sore, which was painful beyond description, and there was a quart of matt er run from this one sore. The physicians all gave mo up to die, and said they could do no more for ime. both of my legs were drawn up to my seat, and it wasi thought if I did get up again I would be a cripple for life. When in this conelition I _aw Vegetine ad vertised, and commnienced taking it in March, and followed on with it. until I had used six, teen bottles; and thii morning I an going to plough corn, a well muan. All my towtsmen say it, is a miracle to see me round walking and working. In conclusion I will add, when I wn en during such great sufering from that dread ful disease, scrofula, I prayed to the Lord above to take me out of this world; but. as Vegetino has restored to mc the blessings of health, I desire more tian ever to live, that I may be of sone Pervice to my fellow,mefn; and I know of no better way to aid silering hii. nmanity thtan to enclose you this statemnent of my case, with an erest hope that you will publish it, and it will,afodmte pleaisure to reply to anay ciuitcaLttionl whlichi I may re ceive therefrom.
