The Fourth of July occurs on Wednesday jf next. No preparations have been made for a formal celebration of the day in Yorkvuie; though the stores, public offices and places of business will be closed. YORKVILLE POST OFFICE. President Hayes has re-appointed John R. Wallace, Postmaster of Yorkville. Mr. Wallace forwarded his official bond last Saturday, and on yesterday morning received his commission. COUNTY TAXES. County Treasurer Robertson gives notice in our advertising columns that he will commence the collection of the July installment of State and county taxes on the 5th of next month. Attention is directed to his list of appointments. THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE. County Auditor Moore is busily engaged in preparing the tax duplicates for last year's ^ assessments, to conform with the rate of tax levied for collection, and which, but for the political complications in the State, would have been collected last tall and winter. The Auditor informs us that at as early a day as he can, he will commence the listing of taxable property for the present fiscal year. COLUMBIA REGISTER. We were pleased to receive a call, toe otner day, from Mr. J. Mercier Brown, who is now the only traveling agent employed by the Columbia Register. Under its new management, the Register is vastly improved, and is now the best daily that has been published at the capital for many years. It deserves, as we hope it receives, a liberal patronage in every section of the State. NEW MAIL ROUTE. A mail route has been established between Yorkville and Bock Hill, and the contract for carrying the mail on it has been awarded to J. N. Roberts. Service on the route will commence on the 1st of next September, on the following schedule : From Yorkville to Rock Hill, aud back, once a week. Leave Yorkville, Thursday at 7 A. M.; arrive at Rock Hill by 12 M.; leave Rock Hill, same day, at IP. M.; arrive at Yorkville by 6 P. M. THE CROPS. After copious and seasonable showers for several days, the clouds cleared away last Sunday night, since which time the weather has been dry and warm. Corn is growing finelv. Cotton is reported generally as doing tolerably well. The most serious complaint is that the crop is from two to three weeks backward. Wheat and oats are being rapidly harvested, and already the hum of the thrashing machine is heard in the land. The wheat crop is fulfilling the expectations of the farmers, and we have heard of but little being injured by the rains. KING'S MOUNTAIN MILITARY SCHOOL. The second sessiou of the past school year at the above institution closed yesterday, with an examination of the pupils. The examinations are conducted privately and without the ostentation and display so prevalent with w many institutions of learning. Col. Coward, Principal of the School, is indefatigable in his labors as an instructor; and assisted by an efficient and competent faculty, King's Mountain Military School presents fine opportunities to the youth of the State for the acquirement of a Bound, practical and serviceable education. The next session will begin on the 1st of August and end on the 22ud of December. Capt. W. T. R. BELL. We were pleased to receive a call, last Tuesday, from Capt. W. T. R. Bell, who visited Yorkviile for the purpose of delivering ? nf tumnprflnw. a no a lecture uu tuo duujw. .?r , tice of?\which is given elsewhere. Capt. Bell rendered efficient service in this State during the last canvass, in advocacy of Hampton aud Reform, and his labors in this behalf will not be soon forgetten by our people. As Principal of King's Mountain High School, at the pleasant village of that name on the Air-Liue Railroad, Capt. Bell is accomplishiug much in promoting the educational interest in that section. He informs rus that 93 pupils attended the session of his school, just closed. This speaks well for the prosper ty of the institution, which is comparatively of recent establishment. TEMPERANCE LECTURE. J Oo Tuesday Dight last, W. T. K. JtJell, President of the State Council Friends of Temperance of North Carolina, delivered a lecture on the subject of temperance before a large audience of ladies and gentlemen, who ' had assembled in the Court House for the purpose of hearing him. Captain Bell acquitted himself very c^ditably, delivering a v' plain, practical argument in favor of the temperance cause. A noticeable feature of the address was the entire omission of the coarse jokes usually resorted to by temperk ance orators for the purpose of enforciug their arguments, while it was equally free from I abuse of those engaged in the liquor traffic. At the conclusion of the address, names were solicited for the purpose of organizing a Council in Yorkville, and twenty-six?cousiderab bly more than the number required?were I procured in a few minutes' time. The CounLp**-? ?cil will be organized at an early day. W Capt. Bell visited Yorkville, as he will | c<her points in the State, by invitation of B. BP "NV. Edwards, President of the State Council of South Carolina. / FOUND DEAD IN HIS BED, Last Friday morning, Francis M. Rhea, a f blacksmith, who lived in the eastern suburbs of the town, was found dead in his bed, his wife being the first one to make the discovery. After notifying the authorities of the k fact, a jury of inquest was impanneled by 1 Trial Justice P. B. Darwin, acting as coroner, J composed of the following persons: S. Ruf'us I Moore, foreman, J. F. Hyudraan, J. W. Dobson, H. C. Strauss, L. D. Goore, C. H. Dixon, G. H. O'Leary, W. P. Hobbs, R. Frank Clark, J. S. Hemphill, D. A. James, James E. Jefferys, R. B. Lowry, S. L. Miller. Only two witnesses?the wife of the deceased and Dr. John May?were examined, the coroner's transcript of whose testimony ^ \ is as follows: Mrs. Rliea, sworn, says she was with Mr. t Rhea until 12 o'clock last night, and he appeared a great deal better; told her to go away, he wanted to go to sleep. She came I back to him at jl. o'clock. - He was resting well, but bis head was not thrown back as it now is. Took two powders?calomel?one at 12 o'clock yesterday; one last night. No one present but herself when she found him cold and stiff this morniDg at daylight. Had suffered with rheumatism in breast, rightiftn and left shoulder. Dr. John May, sworn : Mr. Rhea has been taking the same powders I gave him for several years. Gave him one powder?12 grains calomel and 6 grains Dover's powder. Directed him to take it at bed time. Upon the above evidence, which is all that was adduced, and without causing a post mortem examination to be made, the jury of inquest agreed upon a verdict that "the said F. M. Rhea came to bis death by the visitation of the hands of God." 5 ?? mA/tkonin ine aeceaaeu was xu iiiuusuiuun uicv.ui>uiv, though he was unable to work much of the time on account of bad health. His family consists of a wife and four children. THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. On the 6rst page of to-day's Enquirer, will be found, in full, the circular of Hugh S. Thompson, Esq., State Superintendent of Education. It is of special interest to school teachers. Of the $100,000 appropriated for the support of the Free Common Schools of the State, York county is entitled to $4,035.29. The number of polls in York county is, by the last report, 3,307. Since the poll tax is to be "expended for school purposes in the townships in which it is collected," it is important that this tax be closely collected. If all the polls are collected, the Free School fund of York county will be $7,342.29. For the satisfaction of all concerned, we announce that the Board of Examiners, which consists of Revs. R. Lathan, R. P. Johnson and L. H. Wilson, have appointed the following persons Trustees of the Free Schools in the several school districts : Cherokee.?Ira Hardin, R. E. Porter and W. H. Carroll.

Governor Hampton, by special invitation, visited Auburn, New York, last week, the occasion being a reunion of the "Shields Guards." The Governor arrived at Auburn on the morning of the 20th, and was escorted to the Koss Homestead. At noon the parade took place, the procession marchipg to the grove in which preparations had been made for the speaking. The display is represented as having been exceedingly fine. Governor ??wl n?noro 1 Qh!n1/)a oltAnlr Kan^a IX aiil pbUU aiili Vlt/UVkm KJIIIV1UU Olivva UMUUW with huDdreds of persons, and the enthusiasm rapidly heightened. Governor Robinson, of New York, said that the heroism displayed by Governor Hampton during the last three months had fixed his fame forever in the hearts of his countrymen. For the American people it now remains to accomplish the greatest work of all?to wipe out the stain of raal feasance in office, and in this great work New York hails South Carolina a? a worthy coworker. Governor Hampton, who was cheered vociferously, presented the Shields Guards with a rich Palmetto Flag, saying that he had come to Auburn to bring to that honorable body a flag which derives lustre from the exploits of the heroic Shields. As the flag was unfurled, the grove rang with cheers. Gov. Hampton then spoke as follows: Your distinguished Governor has been pleased to allude to the contest in South Carolina. That, my friends, was not a political struggle. It rose far higher than any such contest ever waged on this continent. It was a coutest for civilization, for home rule, for good government, for life itself It was a | contest waged by the people of South CaroliI ua, not, as demagogues would tell you, against Northern men, but a contest waged against carpet-baggers?and when I say carpet-baggers I mean by that thieves. We do not call any Northern man, any Irishman, auy German, any Englishman, who settles in our midst as an honest citizen, a carpet-bagger. We welcome such witn open arras, we leu them to come to our genial skies and fertile soil, cprae one and all, and I pledge thera, in the name of the State, a hospitable, warmI hearted reception. We do uot ask whether [ they are Republicans or Democrats. I want to impress this upon your minds, and will do it by illustration. What was done by the Democratic Legislature of South Carolina in almost its first action? A vacancy occurred on the supreme bench of the State; a Chief Justice was to be elected; it was a place which had been filled by men of the very highest reputation in our commonwealth; the names of honored sons of Carolina, who would have done honor to any Lench in any country, were preseuted, hut that Democratic Legislature elected to the Supreme Court a citizen of New York, who came to the State as a soldier, and who is a Republican. What further proof do you want that we are not governed by proscriptive feeling? Does it not show that we have fulfilled the pledges and promises made through the last canvass to make no distinction on account of race, color or party ? We wanted to show you people of the North that we were actuated by the highest und most patriotic feelings. We did not wage a political canvass; we were fighting for every interest dear to freemen, and thanks to brave and true men and glorious women of South Carolina, this war for good government was successful. They have established it in every department of the State government. They accomplished this, and they now propose to fill to the very letter the pledges I made, and appealed to High Heaven to witness that they should be carried out. I declared that if elected I would be Governor of the whole people of South Carolina; that I should know no race or party, no color; that all men who stood on the soil of South Carolina, native or foreign born, white or black, should be equal before ihe law, and, so help me God, it shall be done. I am glad to say the bitterness which mark-: ed that strife is passing away, and i say to you, men of New York, as I say at home, I owe ray election to the colored men of South Carolina. Thousands of them voted for me,' knowing that I had been a good friend of the race; knowing that I was the first man after the war to recommend that they should be I given the right of suffrage; and I never yet j changed on that subject, kuowing they sus- ; tained me in large numbers, and I am happy I to say the fears of the ignorant are passing | j away, and they are satisfied they will he dealt j ; with in all respects as citizens of South Caro-1 : lina. We intend to try and elevate them, to I educate them, and try to show thera the re| sponsibilities as well as the blessings of liberty, i We want them, as other citizens of America and South Carolina, to be worthy of the great' boon of citizeuship of this great republic. My friends, I must again thank you for this most cordial greeting, doubly gratifying be! cause it is the voice of New York reverberating to South Carolina. I came, as I said, to j do honor to my distinguished friend, Gen. i Shields. He wore the blue and I wore the | gray ; but we can let the curtain drop over those years, and go back to that time when j that flag, borne by him, waved over the South ' and over the North; and we can look to the future when that flag shall float over a free, united and prosperous people. [Applause.] I say this to you as a Southern man, a rebel; for, when I fought, I fought as bard as I knew how against you ; and I say also that, if that flag floats, as it should do,over free and equal States; if it shall be the symbol of liberty and equality and justice, all the States and every man of the South will honor it and love it, as of old, and the time may come, once more, when New York and South Carolina sball stand shoulder to shoulder against the common enemy, and their blood mingle upon the soil. [Applause.] My friends, I shall bear this cordial greeting back home with me to the little Palmetto State, and assure our people that your hearts throb kindly for us. I trust in God that a better future is before the whole country, and that we shall have peace, prosperity and liberty to every man upon the continent. [Applause.] DEMOCRATIC ECoVoM*Y AND REPUBLICAN EXTRAVAGANCE. "nnpinnr ttiA winter nf 1875?7fi a strenuous effort was made by the Republicans to reduce expenditures, so that their party might have practical reforms to point to when the State canvass of 1876 began. In comparing, therefore, the Republican appropriations for the fiscal year 1875-76, with the Democratic appropriations for the fiscal year 1876-77, the advantage is given the Republicans in selecting the year in which their appropriations were put at what they regarded as the lowest possible figure. It will be seen, however, by an examination of the subjoined table that, exclusive of interest, the appropriations for the current year, under Democratic rule, are $327,867 less than in the last year of the Chamberlain administration: 1875-76. 1876-77. Salaries $174,950 $123,550 Salaries, deficiencies 50,000 Contingent Fund 9,100 17,550 Penitentiary 40,000 25,000 Lunatic Asylum 65,000 50,000 Orphan Asylum 10,000 1,500 Deaf and Dumb Asylum 5,000 Catawba Indians 800 300 South Carolina Universit}'... 43,400 1,500 Normal School 15,000 Agricultural College 10,000 7,500 Public Printing 50,000 10,000 Public Schools 250,000 100,000 General Assembly 140,000 106,500 General Assembly deficiencies 10,000 Sundries. 34,705 6,188 Totals $842,955 $515,088 No account has been taken of the interest on the public debt, as in both years a sum wna annrnnriarprl Tn salaries the reduction is marked. The saving there is over fifty thousand dollars. There is an increase in the contingent funds, consequent upon the unsettled condition of the government earlier in the year, and the necessity of providing for the expenses of litigation in the Attorney-General's office. The public institutions have enough for their actual wants, and no more. The Deaf and Dumb Asylum is provided for; and so is the interest on the State bonds purchased with funds belonging to the Agricultural College. For the University and the Normal School only enough money was appropriated to keep the buildings in order. These eleemosynary, rather than educational institutions will be thoroughly reorganized next winter. The public schools get 8100,000, and the poll tax, which is expected to realize $100,000 more.

For public printing the appropriation is reduced to 810,000. Not long ago the amount paid out, in one year, for printing was over 830O000. The expenses of the General Assembly are reduced from 8140,000 to 8100,500, and the reduction would have been greater but for the teuacity of the highpriced Senators. Figures are deeply interesting to tax payers when they show how the public money has been saved ; and by such figures the people judge of the fidelity of their servants.

ROBERTSON, County Treasurer. June 28 26 It W. H. & J. P. HERNDON. , RISK. WHY risk and not succeed in making a good Corn or Cotton crop? You do it. Why not risk $2 in a bushel of German Millet Seed, with careful preparation of the land, to procure one of the best crops, for the least money, grown ? You do notdo it. This Millet Seed can be sown until the 1st of August, and nine times out often, you will be paid over one hundred per cent, for the amount invested. It is not the profit we derive from the sale of the Millet, that we persist in your buying it. Gentlemen, our reason for ad- r vertising and advocating this thing is to relieve L men of paying out so much money for long forage for stock during the cold, rainy months of winter. It does not matter to us what it costs Mr. Jones, Mr. Smith or Mr. Davis to feed his horse. But it concerns us and is a consolation to know I that we or any one else who owns stock can feed " that stock at less expense by raising Millet Hay. ? Some do not believe what we advertise. We can J prove, by living witnesses, to-day, all we have 1 said in regard to Millet Hay. If time lasts long ^ euough, your scepticism will vanish like smoke from the hill tops. Now is the time to sow it. L Do not put it off, and after you see your neighbor with fat, sleek horses and mules, say you wish you had done as Bill Herndon asked you to do. Your wheat is now off of some of your best lands, and with alittle manure and good plowing yon have until the lstof August to sow it. You won't regret it. 1 W. H. (fc J. P. HERNDON.
