Mr. Tracy, although not a member of any church, was a man of fine moral character, sober, industrious, peaceable atul honest. For f nearly two years lie had been confined (to his 0 bed from an attack of paralysis that deprived him of the use of his lower limbs, but he bore v the affliction with patience and resignation. p Death of Mr3. Thomas Clark. 1 The sad news readied here one day last week '' that this most estimable lady died on Monday the lltli inst., at Eureka Springs, Ark., after a l' long and wasting illness, from consumption, n leaving two sweet little children and a most dc- 1 voted husband to mourn the loss of a true chris- ' tian mother and wife. She was the only daugh- 1 Icr of Mr. Alexander, a largo stock raiser of 1' Kentucky. Mr. Clark was born in this town, n nnd his many relatives and friends here mingle r their sorrow witli his in the sad bereavement. tes) We arc now well satisfied that there is no fun or propfi! in kecpiug a turkey gobbler over oue Christinas.

The Next Year's Tax Levy. ll The "supply Bill," better understood by the average citizen as the "Tax" bill, which is now c before the Legislature differs very slightly from |, that of last year. v The taxes are made payable in two install- s meuts ; the first payable from .May 1st to dune t 1st, and the second trom September 1st to October 120th. A penalty of 5 per cent, is added on s the first installment if not paid in the time spec- r ified. The levy for this County so far provided s by the bill, is?State I] mills, County mills, ^ Constitutional School tax 2 mills?total'.' j mills. ? Wc do r.ot see that any provision has been nmde as yet, for the payment of the interest on the | Railroad bonds of this County, but wc suppose [ that will tie inserted, which will increase the j (ax of this County to Id) mills. n The Legislature. 1 We can still do but little more than "report 1 progress" upon the work of the legislature.? The railroad bill, which provide j for (lie appointment of three railroad Commissioners, with power to regulate freights, provide against discrimination and in oilier matters to prevent the encroachments of railroad corporations upon the people's interests, has evoked much speaking and occupiel much of the time of the session. It was passed to the third reading in the House last Tuesday, and will, no doubt become a law. Those who oppose the bill think it gives too much power to three Commissioners. We rather think it is time the arbitrary exactions of railroad corporations should have some lawful check put upon them, and we can seo no better way to do that than by appointing proper men as a hoard of commissioners and making it their imperative duty to attend to that matter. Mr. Culp introduced au important amendment to tho bill and made an able speech upon it. At a night session of the House last Tuesday, the "Lien Law was made the special order for Friday after the fourth Tuosday of November, | 1883." This will give poor farmers another year of easy work and sure rations. The land owner will he sure of his^ront, but if it should not he a good crop year many who make advances to poor farmers will ho found leaning on the wiong side of the law, while the poor farmer ?U| have nothing, as usual, hut will look out for more land to ?kin for another year's loird anl clothing. We believe (lie railroad bill is imperatively demanded ; hut we are decidedly opposed to the Lien Law, because it destroys healthy credit, demoralizes labor, increases the number of poor farmers every year and stands directly in the W nv of ftn intAlKcrnni Imnnwiini ? .1 * ? - r? 1 ----I e> - - v.v?..?6 t system of ngriculturo. f Wo arc also decidedly opposed to the law in- i creasing the rate of interest to ten per cent.? 1 Our people were just beginning to get used to ^ loaning money at the legal rate of 7 per cent., j and were satisfied with it, but now that the law allows 10 per cent, they will he satisfied with nothing less. The fast that tho usury law is n evaded is a very weak argument for sonsiblo v men to use, The law against stealing is evade I every day, in many ways, an 1 it would ho just ^ as sensible to pass a law limiting the amount of ( stealing before a - cnally shall attach. f The legislature lias completed hut little work, 11 so far. but as the members expect to adjourn to- ? day, no doubt mueli work will be rushe I through c during the last hoots of the session. li Kolton SoU.

While I am talking about Christmas gifts, I rill mention one circumstance and hope it will irovoke others to treat their pastors likewise : am informed by an eye witness that one day list week Mr. II. P. McKissick put about twentyivc or thirty bushels of corn into a wagon and rove to Mt. Joy Parsonage, and without asking uy body's consent, and not having the fear of lie law or the gospel before his eyes, proceeded t> most violently assault his pastor by throwing he whole load of corn into his crib.

After the war he ,u' gave his assistance and counsel also to the or- c ganization of the present Agricultural and Me- !ov chanical Association, but with advancing years ,ft he withdrew from active work and left it to Pc younger hands. Those who can recollect tho *0.' agricultural journals of 35 to 40 years ago are familiar with the many contributions of his pen P? and the ac'ive part he took in discussions of all 11 matters loading towards agricultural improve- '*r tncnt. Within the past few months, though enfecbled by ago, we had tho benefit of his coutr!buttons to these oolumns.

During those Iwa years, through \y tlie Secretary's importunities, but against tlie D< advice of Col. Gage, tlie Society published an Pc agricultural monthly magazine and built a largo j-r and expensive amphitheatre upon the fair 0t groun Is, both of which, as Col. Gnge predicted fr involved tho society in heavy debts and camo P* near breaking il up. The income from lite maga- j"t line would have barely defrayed the expenses at of its publication and a defaulting Clerk in lh the Secretary's office was unable to account for a er largo amount of that, while the cost of the am- ||| pliiihcairc was nearly double the estimate first made. Col. Gage succeeded Col. Summer. auJ went to work with energy and economy to overcome I! o( financial ditlicultics thus placed in the way of the Society's progress and usefulness; and had tli the war uot occurred, we have reason to know, ,l' he would have extricated it from those difiieul- j*!j ties aud pine:d the Society upon a sound tinnn- |? cial footing and made it a splendid succvss uud w an honor to the State. ll' - m WC C.umi.8 andCasu vi.tiks.?New York, Decernher 1 I. ?

Charles in factors hare made big money by virtue ol te existence of this iniquitous law ; and, tough they have oftimcs lost considerably, thi ilauce is generally pretty heavy on the profll de. We wish we could believe that the Newt \d Courier is prompted in its opposition to the ipeal of this law, by its great, sympathy and ire for tho "small farmers." We know no >w it is elsewhere in the State, but in thit mnty tho lien law finds its most formidabli id relentless enemies in the class of peopli ylcd by the Newt and Courier as "small farm ?." The agricultural interests of South Csrolini ive suffered more in Ihopast fouror five yean oni tho burdens created by the lien law thai om all other onuses combined, saving perhapt lort crops.
