EDITOR: The second annual meet ing of the dint Rifles Survivors" Associa tion waa held at Wllliamston on Tuea day, August 5th, with 1st Vice-Prcaldont J. M. Glenn presiding. There were forty of the mombo rs present. In the election of officers for tho ensu ing year, the following selection waa mado : President, Lieut. A. J. Stringer ; 1st Vioe-Presideut, Lieut. N. O. Farmer ; 2nd Vice-President, J. M. Glenn; 3rd Vico-Prealdent, R. V. Acker; 4th Vic? President, S. R. Davenport; Secretary and Treasurer, J. L. Mauidin. A number of lotter?, received by the Secretary from some of tho absent mem bers expressing rogrots at being unable lo atteud tho meeting and good wlshea to all, wero read, and it was evident that all wero pleased to hoar from those they could not meet. It was ascertained that there ero now living of tho Company 118 members, and tho whereabouts of all ese?pt 22 aro known. Tho meeting waa adjourned to meet at Williamston on first Tuesday lu August, 1885. Diunor was announced aftor adjourn ment, and all repaired to thcSpring grove to partake of the bountiful fare.

But everything comes to an ond, so it was with tue veterans; tho declining mn warned them it waa time to break up, md with many a hearty "good bye" "and hopo' to BOO you next year," tho meeting was ovor. M. To the Voters of Anderson County. For reasons not fully existing when I icceptod tho nomination, I fool it my duty to withdraw from the canvass for a seat lu tho Hou8eof Representativos. To my many friends I regret to mako this an nouncement, and hone atsome future lima JO Hcrvo them, should a majority of my "oilow-cilizuns desiro it. lu accepting tho ionization I desired only to represent mob interests ns I had in common with my countrymen. These interests oun ?rnee tho taxation of property and the .".location of our children. It takes more .han half our Stato tuxes to pay tho in terest on our public dobt. To rod ncc this interest is of paramount importance in jrdor to reduco taxes. To this end it will require wholesome legislation in the ulministrotiou of tho government. This would give confidence to capitalists, and mable us to reduce the interest on tho lebt from six LO, perhaps, four per cont, i saving of one-third of the taxes for thia >bject. A large portion of this debt ma uros in 1888, and tho rcmaiuder in 1893, ind to roplaco this debt at a low rato of nterost should engage our Loglslaturo In ihaping logislatiou. Any increase of tho public debt, or ivcakoniug the rasources of tho State, .rould defeat, in & measure, the desired inject. This will have to ho met at tho ?ext session of tho General Assembly, ?partanhurg, und aoven other Counties, rave involved themselves largely in Minded debts to build railroads, and noW lesiro tho State to como to their old to oiiovo thom from thoir embarra ?suienta. The movement is being led in Spartan - nirg, and when onco begun will bo taken ip by all. Onco establish the precedent of the itnte assuming, either directly or indi ectly, the burden of these debts, i m pos - d as thoy are hy the reckless voting of axes for railroad purposes, we may lever hope to reduce the present rate of ] ntorest, and the present rate of taxation. I Constitutional Amendment is now on he way to prevent the Counties from reating any debt oxeoeding olght por eut of Its taxable property-. If ii is irrong to exceed olght per cont, it is rrong to exceed five. This proposition or the State to assume tho County debts, nd all kindred measures, should be met lythe Legislature with firmness, so as | | a plant the credit of the Stato on a foot ag with that of our sister Stato of Coor ia, and place our debt at four per cent, 3 Georgia has. Then, and not before, lay we begin to look for relief from high ixoH, which is demanded from all quar 3rs of the State. Tho Stato having already taken its tann on education, bhe will not likely ake any step backward. I thought that ire might well have dispensed with tho iitadel Academy, leaving those who /ere not satisfied with higher education t tho University to pay their own tuition t King's Mountain Military, or such ther like schools as they de??rod. The 11 lability of our government, tho preser ation of our Institutions, and tho hap lincas of our people depending upon the ntelligonce of i La citizens, it seems to mo mt right that thoso of its citizens who re rich In this world's goods, should ontribute of their means to oducato the hildren of thc Stato, as a small return br the rights of personal security, perso lal liberty, and private property guaran ced to them by tho laws. My vi ow:; on his subject having been expressed in irivate, I am requested to furnish them br publication, which I do with dlffl lence, as I seldom I in poso my views on be public by expressing them in print, ["boy are submitted now only because of ny withdrawal from the cauvaas, and the equest of those who have the right to sk lt- With thia apology I submit them.

To the Citizens of Anderson County : It has icen reported by some malicious person bat my administration of the County Jail i as not been correct, in that prisoners haTe lot been properly fed, and that prisoners lave been hired to tb? city council of An lerson and thns donble fees collected.
