THE SENTINEL TO PURLISUND *yTRT THURSDAY. D~ '~BRDLY.i"tor. I PIOKENS 0. H., 8. C.: c Thursday, January 8. 1878. The New Year. Iith this issue begins the new year. Christmas has come and gone, and a dull Christmas it was. Never, since the dark, crimson tide of wir rolled over our country, making desolate so many homes and leaving his gory footprints at so-many households in tho land, has a now year opened with brighter and more pleasing prospects for the future. After we had gone through those four years of firo and of blood, a ccmplete revolution was made in our government and we were subjected to a tyranny and an oppres slon more galling and bittor to a proud and chivalrous people than that of war itself. The carpet.baggor came down in swarms from their Northern homes, obtained possession of the reins of government; slandered, cal lumniated and robbed our people; kindled a feeling of distrust and ha tred between races that should live together in peace, and by continually adding fuel to the flame kept up the bitter feeling between the two races, and thus continued themselves in power, robbing and plundering the people, and gloating over our helpless and miserable condition. Corruption stalked in high places, ignorance oc, cupied the seats in our capitol, that had once been filled by our Calhouns, our Duflies and our Pinkneys, and leg islated for the people, while roughs and thieves swarmed in count loss numbers around the Stato Creas ury and appropriated the peoples money and the peoples goods to their own use with impunity. Nay, all this was considered, by the crew then in power, as commendable and praise worthy acts, and the greatest rogue received the greatest honors. These things have now paesed away, and behold all things are new. It is like the dispelling of a dark and angry cloud from before the glor'ous and beaming rays of a noon day sun. In the place of corruption, we now have incorrupttble integrity, instead of ex. travaganco and a profligate waste of the peoples money, we have economy and a judicious disbursement of the publio funds, for ignorance we have intelligence, for vice and debauchery In public officials we have honesty, in tegrity, prudence and temperance and we now have the means within our power of again soon becoming a hap, py and prosperous peop)le. The lien law, that spawn of Radicalism and breeder of extravagance and dissipation Is a thing of the past, while in its place upon our statute books is sup plied by the re-enactmen,t ofthe usury law. We have need to rejoice at the great change in affairs; but let us use our vietory' and the means which God has given us of bccoming prosperous and happy, with prudence, mnodera tion and wisdom. No people bore de feat with greater fortitude, or sub,~ mitted to tyranny and oppression du-. ring the dark, dark days in the imme diate past with more heroism. Then let us show thu world that wo can turn a victory as well as a defeat to advantage, and that we can use the means and power we now have to the prosperity and happiness of the wvhole people. We congratulater our readers on the bright future, and trust that they may enter upon their duties for the new year with a redoubled energy to contribute their part to wards placing our State and our peo, pie in the samno prosperous and happy condition they enjoyed before the late civil war. Murder Near Ninety,Six. Dur-ing the Christ,mas holidays, an old bachelor, by the name of Frank-, lin and his oidmaiden sister, living near 1Kinoty-Six, Abboville County, were horribly and brutally murdered by a gang of savage and fiendish negroes. A clue to Lbhe guilty parties was first, obtiainod by the persimmon club with *hich the dued was Oommitted. The plae where the club was cut was found, and the tracks leading from it were mvo~eaured, which corresponded with the foot of 11h0 supeotod party. Four negroes have boon arrested for the crime and lodged -In the Abboville jail. Another whateadme hanging is evidently ln'atono for t,hat County. That Five Dollars a Day. Some of our citizens werg, justly, indignant *ben they vead in the Clarletton Journal of Commerce and in the Greenville Daily News, that the members of the Legislature had voted themselve $5.00 a day dnring the recess, and many were the male dictions heaped on the devoted heads of all the membeas of the Legislature, not distinguishing in their impetuous indignotion (even had the'news been true) the member who voted for it and the one who voted against it. But we are glad that we can correct the mistake made by these journals and assure our readers that the mem bers of the Legislature do not get 65 a day during the recesm. They get nothing. Such a step would be obsti nately fought by Tum SENTINEL, and by its Editor in propria per8ona. The Editor ia not present at this writing, but we speak advisedly when we say this, for we have heard him denounce such a course in unmeasured terms. It would be equal to the back salary grab of Congress a few years ago, and would be met by the same indignant condemnation by the people. MR. EDITon: For the information of the taxpayers of Pickens County, 1 horewith subjoin the amount of per sonal and real property listed by me for the fiscal year of 1877. The per, sonal property does not reach the amount of the previous year, owing to the scarcity of money, and hard times. The real estate is a little less, owing to abatements, &c. The poll is considerably more.

JOHN 0. DAvIs, Auditor Pickens County. CENTRAL ITEXS. DEAR SENTINEL; It has been some time since 1 had the pleasure of chats ting with the old home journal. My friend "Bones" had boon silent some time; but I saw by your last is% sue that there had been a resurrec tion of dry "Bones." Therefore I concluded to come to life. I thought p)erhaIps he had gone to the "yard;" but I am glad to know that he hasn't gone to increase "Bone fertali.. re." Wecll, Christmas has come to Cen, tral, and brought with it "tangle-foot," turkey shooting, chicken fighting, parties, &c. Our great evening of the charades and hot supper has come and gone. 1t proved very profitable to the church. Our charades, which came off first, was almost a failure, owing to the serious illness of one of our princip)al actors. A fter' the charades, we repaired to the Central Hotel, where the supper was laid. Under the skilful management of "Cousin John," everything passed off well. The committee of arrangement had an abundance of everything good more than a'll e'd' "t.. But the event of the evening was the. halloting tor the hady that should ret ive a largo steep)lo cake. It was Central and Pondleton-Miss Essie 0., of Central, and Miss Julia P., of Pendle.. ton, were the rivals. The prIico per~ veo was 10 cents. The voting began wvith small sums of two, three and five, but as the exocitement increased the numbor grew larger, until they reached as high as fifty and a hundred at a single shot. It was a hard fought battle; but Central came out victori, ous. T[he cake brought the "small" sum of something over $90. As soon as the contest was decied, Miss Essie] returned the cake to the church, and it was auctioned off by "Cousin John" It was purchased by D . C., and re. turr.ed to Miss E. And so ended our s. o upper. We haven't anything about Central wonderful to tell. We have had sev oral marriages, but they are common at this season of the year. I hope Imay be ableto tak ofner in the new year, with Tuu SaxrN?Ix,. Raw:an Conkling, the siver-tongued orator from New York and the leader of the anti-hayes party in the Senate, and Senator Gordon had a very sharp lit. tie fight in the Senate last week. They called each other hard names and would have fought it out according to the code of honer had not the venera. ble Hamlin from Maine and a oouplo of other friends interfered. Gordon ought to have shot the sneak. We are getting strong enough to talk as we please these days and another cow hiding after the Sumner-Brooks pate. tern would do the whole country good. When old Mart. Gary goes on to take Patterson's place we may look for some consternation among the Radical senators. Gary will make them move around lively.-Abbeville Medium, 19th ultimo. From the tone of the above, the Medium seems to be for war. But we are not surprised at the martial spirit of the medium, since her senior editor is a Brigadier General and her junior an Adjutant General. Methodist &ppointments.

A gentleman who is thoroughly conver san L with the financial history of South Carolina, and who occupies a position of great importanice, hias furnished the Columbia Rogister with a statement of the~ auctual reforms ac com~iplished by the Democrats, IIere are the figures: 'lar levy 1875-6 under' CJhamberlaini, 11 mills, on basis of $120,000,000 as the total taxable pr1operty of t he Stp to $1,320,000 Deticencies under Chamu borzain for 1875-6 450,000 Tof a! amiountcex pendedl un, der' Ch amberlain for 1875 6 $1,770,000 Tax levy 1877 under 1Ham p ton, 7 mills, on basis of $120,000,000 84,0 Amount in the Stato Treas $4,0 ury at the end of the first fiscal year under 11am p ton, remaining unexpen ded 115,000 Total amount expended by Hampton's government $725,000 The difference between the expen% ditures under Chamberlamn and Hampton amounts to $1,045,000 WIll our Bloody Shirt friends at the North look at this, and then fold tfleir shirts, and, "like the Arabs.,of the desert, silently steal away" into a state of quioscence? The bell punch has made the muts cles of Richmond bar keepers' arms to bulge like the brows of statesmen. Among the Dead Failures Of the past, how many bogus nostrums may be numbered! Beginning their careers| with a tremendous flourish of trumpets, bla zoned for a time In public prints and on fla ming posters, soon, but not too soon, wore they relegated to the limbo of things lost on earth. But Hlostetter's Stomach Bitters is a living and thriving remedy. It goes on cur ing and to cure. Neither underhand nor open competition affect it. On the contrary, con, trast with inferior rival preparations only in creases its popularity. It has been repeat edly imitated, but without success, 6'oun terfeits of it have been surreptitously intro duced, but have fallen flat. Everywhere it entrenches itself in the confidence of the peo ple; and well it may, for it isu a thoroughly re liable invigorant of the feeble, banishes dye pepsia and constipation, braces the nerves, ~ures rheumatic ailments and kidney comn laints, and eradicates and prevents intermit ent and remittent fevers. r'o All Whom These Pres eats NKay Conern.
