An Act passed at the recent session of the Legislature amends the General Statutes so as to provide that "every person re? quired by law to list property shall annual? ly, between the first day of May [instead of June, as heretofore,] and the twentieth day of June, [instead of July, as hereto? fore,] make out and deliver to the Auditor of the County in which the property is, by law, to be returned for taxation, a state? ment, verified by oath," etc. The object and effect of this Act is to so fix it that the Auditor or his deputy can receive Returns for taxation for the following year at the same time and place that the Treasurer is collecting taxes for the current year, which will prove a convenience to the taxpayer, as it will enable him to pay his taxes and make his Returns with one trip, instead of the business necessitating two trips. A biographical sketch of the Hon. Wal? ter M. Gibson, Premier of the Hawaiian Kingdom, has recently been going the rounds of the press. Mr. Gibson has led a remarkable career, which has been watched with much interest and pleasure by his friends in this County. The child of Eng? lish parents, he was born at sea under the American flag. He spent his youth and early manhood at Pendleton, in this Coun? ty, where he married a Miss Lewis. When a young man he spent some time mining in the gold fields of North Georgia. After? wards he commanded the little iron steam? er owned by G. B. Lamar of Savannah. The California gold fever attracted Mr. Gibson to the Pacific coast. He was quite successful, but he soon abandoned mining and was sent on a diplomatic mission to Mexico by the United States government. Afterwards followed years of wild and ro? mantic adventures in South America. In 1861 Mr. Gibson reached the Sandwich Is? lands and started a newspaper. He grad? ually gained the confidence or the Ha? waiian King, and for the past two years has held the position of Premier. Mr. Gibson's wide experience and thorough knowledge of men and affairs has mate? rially aided in bringing this little kingdom to the fore, and it may be justly said that he is a potential factor of civilization in that part of the world. Whooping cough is said to be prevailing extensively in some sections of the County. There are a few cases in the city. Fnrman't Formntn. As many of our readees are infatuated with Judge Furman's success as a farmer, we give below his formula for making his celebrated compost: Take thirty bushels well rotted stahlt; manure or well rotted organic matter as leaves, muck, etc., and scatter it about three inches thick upon a piece of ground so sit? uated that water will not stand on it, but shed off in every direction. The thirty bushels will weigh about nine hundred pounds. Take two hundred pounds of good acid phosphate, which cost me $22.50 per ton, delivered, making the two hun? dred pounds cost $2.25, and one hundred pounds kainit, which cost me, by the ton, $14 delivered, or seventy cents for one hun? dred pounds, and mix the acid phosphate and kainit thoroughly, then scatter evenly on the manure. Take next thirty bushels of green cotton seed an'' distribute them evenly over the pile ani wet them thor? oughly ; take again two hundred pounds of acid phosphate and one hundred pounds of kainit, mix and spread over thfi seed, begin again on the manure and keep on that way, building up your heap layer by layer, until you get it as high as convenient. Then cover with six inches of rich earth from fence corners, and leave at least six weeks: when ready to haul to the field cut with a spade or pick-axe square down and mix as thoroughly as possible. Now we have thirty nushels of manure weighing nine hundred pounds of chemical in the second layer, and these two layers combined form the perfect compost. You perceive that the weight is 2,4u0 pounds. A Card. Mr. EniTon: Will you please allow me space in your columns to give expression of thanks due Mr. C. A. Scanlan, of Charles? ton ? A few days ago, while on a visit to Charleston, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Scanlan, whom I found to have spent his leisure in collecting and studying the fossils of our State. Ho showed me his col? lection (of which he m-/ well be proud), which, I am told, is the .uost complete col? lection of our State fossils in the world. After more than an hour's most intelligent and courteous exhibition of his specimens, of his own accord, he selected a box full of a very interesting assortment of minerals, fossils and curiosities ; these he presented through me to the Williamston Female College. Being wholly a stranger to him, I was expecting no such attention; and, yet, his munificence seemed measured more by ray ability to carry the specimens than by his readiness to give them. For his val? uable addition to the cabinets of the Col? lege, please allow this acknowledgment. Very respectfully, W. Tketsii Lander. Grange MeetiDg.
