The County Board of Equalization met on the second Tuesday of this month. No material change was made in the val? uation of land, the assessment standing about the same as it did in 18S2, averaging about $5.00 per acre. The valuation of personal property also remains the same. The Ladies' Store is receiving a large and well selected stock of Spring and Summer goods, embracing all the latest styles and novelties, which will be sold at regular hard-pan prices.

Watson, below Anderson, on Wednesday, the 17th inst., between Antony Arnold and Henry Craw? ford, about the right to use a certain path, which resulted in Arnold striking Craw? ford with a stick and breaking both of his arms. Both parties are colored. The Rough and Ready Fire Company paraded again last Tuesday afternoon, and again broke one of the arms of the engine in pumping. Unless it can be made more substantial and reliable, the Council had better ship this engine back and buy a stronger one. It will not do to depend upon at a fire as it works now. Just before going to press we learn that the dwelling house of Mr. D.. Sloan White, in Fork Township, was destroyed by fire on last Tuesday evening, about 4 o'clock.

At the breakfast table next morn? ing his father said: "Well, my son, did you go home with any of the girls last night?" "Yes," said Bob. "Who was she?" Robert hesitated, but finally blurted out: "I thought it was Miss-, but when we got to the corner of the street she went into Mrs. -'s .house." "But I should think you might have told by the sound of her voice," said his father. "Neither of us said a word," said Bob, blushing and stammering. Rev. Wm. Henry Strickland delivered his lecture upon the life and character of Chinese Gordon in the Baptist Church in this city on last Monday evening, for the benefit of the ladies who are endeavoring to purchase a new organ for the Church, an admission fee of twenty-five cents be? ing charged for those who attended. The lecture was an interesting synopsis of the history of Chinese Gordon. It was a well prepared paper, evincing thought and thorough information upon tho topic chosen by the lecturer. Our people who were present were both instructed and entertained by the address. Mr. Strick? land is as fluent in lecture as in other classes of public speaking Mr. James Harrison, of this city, who is engaged in getting out barrel staves on the McCreary place, near Pendloton, showed us last Thursday a lock of human hair, which was found in the centre of a largo treo. A negro was cutting tho tree, when he noticed a small hole with a plug in it, and undor the plug the hair was found. The hair had evidently been there nearly one hundred years, as tho treo contained ninety-seven circles around tho centre. No one seems to know how the hair came there, though it is believed to have been placed there by some super? stitious person.

Gwin's attorneys carried tho case to the Supremo Court on a motion for a new trial, but the motion was nut sustained. In the meantime, the prisoner manifested symptoms of insanity, and he was carriod to tho Asylum, where he remained awhile and was then discharged. The Supreme Court not having made its decision when he was discharged, he was released on bond, and remained out of prison until two weeks ago. The old man is a pitiful looking object, and there is a good deal of sympathy for him. Rev. Wm. Henry Strickland, at the request of the W. C. T. U., delivered an address on Temperance in the Court House on last Frida3' evening. The attendance of ladies and gentlemen was largo, and the lecture was greatly enjoyed, judging from the frequent bursts of ap? plause which greeted the speaker. Mr. Strickland treated the subject in a practi? cal way, and made frequent telling hits and illustrations in favor of prohibition. He showed a familiarity with tho ques? tions pertaining to prohibition in Ander? son which gave strength to his lecture. He presented tho financial argument in the strongest possible light, and enforced it by an array of figures which showed that he knew what he was talking about. He was equally forcible in the argument of the social and moral sides of the ques? tion. His lecture was almostimpromptu, but it lacked neither rhetoric nor solid argument on this account. Mr. Thos. J. Webb, our efficient County Auditor, informs us that he has a number of silk worm eggs, which ho will give away to any person who may feel dis? posed to try their hand in silk culture. Mr. Webb says that in fifty years from now he believes this country will equal France in the culture of silk, and when it does our people will be the most prosper? ous on the globe. We would like to see our people give the culture a fair trial, for we believe it they did s?j'thoy would soon be convinced that it is a pleasant and prof i table business. It would a fiord constant employment to our women and children, and be more remunerative than any other avocation now followed by them. We hope some of our progressive citizens, who have a few mulberry trees on their plantations, will call on Mr. Webb and get a few of these eggs. He will c'" sr fully givo any information in rega? V> caring for them. Every one who passes the establishment of those wide-awake young men, Messrs. Means & McGee, cannot help admiring their tastily dressed show windows, which faintly express what is inside of one of the handsomest stores in upper Carolina. We were courteously shown through this emporium the other day, and we do not hesitate to say that there is not a clothing house in this section of the State that han? dles the stock they do. They keep thor? oughly posted in all the styles of gents' clothing, and when you buy a suit from them you may depend on it being the latest stylo. All of their goods are made csppeiaily for then), and every garment that goes out of their house is guaranteed to lit anil lo be just what they represent it. Tim lour button cutaways and square cut I sack costs arc all tho go with young men I this season, and a nice suit of either style can be bought at a very low price. They also* have an elegant line of gents' hats, furnishing goods, neckwear, and also carry an immense stock of boys' -nd youths' suits. They also make a specialty of ladies' and misses' fine shoes. These young gentlemen, by thoir low prices and square dealing, are making new custom? ers every day. They take great pleasure in showing thoir goods, and we advise every gentleman who intends buying a nice Spriug or Summer suit to inspect their stock. Municipal Election la Seneca. Seneca, S.

The prospects a- ? that we will have a season of peaceful prosperity. Let your growing young city look to its lau? rels lest Seneca throws a shadow over you in the near future. _Observer. Information Still Wanted. Mr. Editor : When the rate of inter? est on money was increased from seven to ten per cent, by authority of the Legisla? ture of South Carolina a few years ago, it was confidently predicted that foreign capital would flow into South Carolina, that money would be plentiful and easily obtained, and that times would become easier, and more prosperous. Have those predictions or any part of tkom yet como lo pass or are they likoly ever to be a reali? zation ? It is perhaps true that history furnishes us with illustrations of great and con? tinued prosperity by an agricultural peo? ple, who paid teu per cent, interest on money omployed in agriculture, but when and where have such people lived ? Have not those sections and countries been most prosperous whero the lawful rate of interest on money has been least? Is it possible for tho farmers of South Carolina in their present depressed con? dition and circumstances ever to become prosperous under the present usury laws? and if so how ? Simon. Big Creek Dots. We had a few days of real. Spring weather last week. After raining all day Saturday, it clear? ed off cold and windy Saturday night.

The dome and a part of the boiler to which it was attached, weighing 700 pounds, was blown a distance of 225 yards.? Yorkville Enquire, 18th. We regret to learn of the death of Col. Wm. W. Gaffney, which was the result of his own act by jumping into a well at Gaff? ney City and drowning himself on Friday night last. He took off hia overcoat and hat before making tbe fatal leap. Col. Gaffney was a prominent citizen of his section of Spartanburg County, and was well known in York, his connection for a number of years with the King's Mountain Iron Mine property having brought him in business connection with a number of our people. He was a generous-hearted, liberal minded man and popular with all who knew him. His rash act, which is the cause of sincere sorrow, is attributed to mental aberration.? Yorkville Enquire, 18th. The Baptist Church at Graniteville was burned to the ground on Sunday before last at 12 o'clock, during the morning service. The house was filled to its utmost capacity and the sermon just concluded. Then a conference was being held to decide on the Rev. Mr. Patterson the pastor for the year, when it was discovered that the whole of the front of the church was'on 'fire. Some one shouted fire, and the wild? est confusion prevailed; a great many jumped from the windows, but the greater mass of the people passed through the burning door with the ashes dropping on them, but fortunately no one was seriously hurt. It originated possibly from a care? less cigar laid on the wood work outside. It is a terrible calamity on the Baptist con? gregation. All the dwelling houses in the immediate vicinity caught fire, also tho gate house over the canal, but the hose came in to put these fires out with but slight damage done.

March 18,188G 3(5 G&g STILL KICK BUT NOT KICKING VERY HIGH. IT does not matter with the dear people whether I am making money or doing business just for the fun of the thing, so long as they can buy Goods from me cheaper than from those who are doing a legitimate business. Folks who buy on credit have to stand "legitimate profits"; but those who can pay cash are free to buy where the best bargains are offered, even when done by small potatoes like me. I will stand to all I advertise as long as the Goods last. I do not guarantee the prices for six months, nor that I can keep the Goods even a month. My past experience has been that the wide-awake people generally took my offerings during the first and second weeks after advertised. Be assured if you come A T OXCE you will get them. No humbuggery in this. Notwithstanding the number sold, I still have The Best Goose-Necked Hoes at 35 Cents, And when I say this I do not mean the cheap, light Hoes usur.lly put off as substi? tutes by some others for these Goods.
