Real Estate is assessed this year. 1890, and all parties owning land, lots and buildings, will please look up their decds> where necessary, and get the right num? ber of acres, lots and buildings, that they may own on the 1st day of January, 1890. All'bnildings of any sort that are worth ten dollars and over are to be returned. A good way for the Tax Payer who has much property to return, is to make a memorandum of each building and its value, the number of Horses, Cattle, Mules, Sheep and Goats, Hogs, Watches, Organs and Pianos, Buggies, Wagons and Carriages, Dogs, Merchandise, Machinery, Monies, Notos and Accounts (above in? debtedness) Furniture, &c, which will save the Tax Payer time, and enable the Assessor to progress in the work. Tax Payers return what they own on the first day of January, 1890. Assessors and Tax Payers will enter the first given name of the Tax Payer in full, also make a separate return for each party for the Township the property is in, and where the Tax Payer owns Kealty, to insert the Postoffice as their place cf residence, and those who only own Personal Prop? erty to give the parties name who owns the land they live on 'as their residence, which aids the Tax Payer, as well as the County Treasurer, in making the collec? tion and preventing errors. Every male citizen between the ages of twenty-one and .fifty years, on the first day of January, 1890, except those incapa? ble of earning a support from being maimed, or from other causes, shall be deemed taxable polls. All returns that are made after the twen? tieth of February next, have to be placed on the Additional List, and fifty per cent, penalty added thereto, unless prevented by Bickneas, or out of the County during the time of listing. Not knowing the time of listing is no excuse; and all own? ers of real estate might do their Tenants, who cannot read or take a newspaper, a great favor by making their returns or tell? ing them the time of listing, and that if they fail to make their returns, that the valuation has to be increased fifty per cent., unless they have a good excuse. The assessing and collecting taxes is all done now In the same year, and we have to aggregate the number and value of all the horses, cattle, mules, &c., as well as the acres of land, lots and buildings and their value that there is in the County, and have the same on file in the Comp? troller General's office by the thirtieth day of June each year, and from that time to the first of October each year, the Auditor and Treasurer's Duplicate has to be com? pleted, and an abstract of the work in the Comptroller's office by that time, which will "show, at a glance, that the Auditor has no time to take in return?, or anything else much, between the first day of March and the first day of October each year, but work on the books and blanks. There? fore, hope that all Tax Payers will do ub the favor of making their returns in time. THOMAS J. WEBB, Auditor Anderson County, Deo 5, 1889_22 4 Honea Pi M Sell: J. B. WATKINS, A.

October 10. 18S9 3 t <!m bcsh-ae?oii of a ScTrspspcr Office at rlluiicapoHs. MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. SO.?The Tribune office was burned to-uighl, and iL is expected that from fou to twenty people lost- their lives. Shortly after eleven o'clock a portion of tbs wall on Fourth Street fell and a number of persons are believed to have been buried underneath. Five men, more or less injured, have been taken into a drug store in the vicinity of the fire and turee others have just been carried into a restaurant near by. The Tribune building is on the north? east corner of First Avenue and Fourth Street. Those known to be dead are Harry Colwell and McCutcheon ; printers in the Tribune office. They were killed by jumpiug. There were nearly one hunilrod persons employed on the seventh floor where tbe fire broke out. Among the killed is Mr. JnmeB F. Igoe, the Associated Press telegraph operator, who wbb on the seventh floor. On this floor were situated many of- the Tribune Btaff, editors, reportor.-, and compositors. The only body yet identified is that of John Olsen, a merchant, who had gom. to the composing rooms to see about "position" for an "ad." He jumped from the top floor and was killed instantly, his body being shockingly mangled. Seven bodies have been already taken out, but no more names are yet known. The Pionier Press (Minneapolis) force were on the sixth floor, and some fears are entertained regarding their safety. However, the most of the loss of lite seems to have been io auotber part of the building. The fire started in a law office on the third story of the buildiug about 10 30. The elevator man noticed the smell of smoke and called the attention of some of the persons around the building to it. Tbe cry of fire was raised and several persona went down Btairs from the sev? enth story to investigate and then return? ed to work. Before long the smoke began to fill the narrow stairway, the only one in the building, and everybody began to make leisurely preparations to depart. No immediate danger was feared, and the only exits from che building, which were supposed to be fire proof, were a narrow staircase wide enough for two persons to come down abreast, the eleva? tor, and a single fire escape at the north end of the structure. Several persons had made their escape in the mean time, but in less than ten minutes the flames sought the elevator shaft, which, acting as a mammoth flue conveyed the flames to the top story, and soon the editorial rooms, on the same side of the building where the fire originated, were a seething mass of flames. In a few murales' the fire reached the other side, where tbe com posing room was situated. A general alarm was turned iu aud ail the engines in the city responded to the call. The imprisoned printers gathered at tbe windows in the south end and shrieked wildly and despairingly for aid. "Hurry the ladders 1" was tbe awful cry. "Hurry the ladders, for God's sake!" shrieked tbo men with all the vebeme nence they could muster. Tbe vast crowd witnessing the awful sight shouted back words of encourage? ment. The long ladders seemed to move up at a Beail's pace but was finally reBted in position and the terrified men began to descend, the flames making steady encroachments upon the corner into which they had been driven. The life nets were brought into use, and some were saved in this way. The sparks are flying in all directions, and adjoining buildings, occupied by tbe Ideal Restaurant, Steam & Van Winkles saloon, and McCrystle'a tailor store, are doomed. The Tribune building waB 8 years old, a seven-story brick structure, valued at $200,000. Milton Pickett, in charge of the Min? neapolis office of the Pioneer Press, is supposed to have been lost. W. E, Myles, the agent of the Associa? ted PresH, was among tbe killed. Minneapolis, December 1.?At the morgue lay five bodies. That of Prof. Olsen has been enclosed in a plain pine coffin. On the floor are the bodies of Jerry Jeujdson, a compositor on the Tri? bune, a young man shortly to be married. Beside him were two bodies, so bloated and burned, with blood oozing from their terrible wounds, that thus far they have not been recognized. On the table are the corpses of Rcberl; McCutcheon, a compositor, and Milton Pickett, a repor? ter on the Pioneer Press, Jenkinson endeavored to make his es? cape on the heavy telegraph wires. He clambered down a short way, but was unable to retain bis hold and was obliged to let go and dropped to the ground, aDd when picked up he wan dead. Cotton Is King, aud a Good One. What a marvelous thing is this cotton, that, having oppressed the south, is now going to enrich it above all other sections of the republic 1 The other day the Central railroad or? dered 5,000 new freight cars?to help carry its overwhelming business. The East Tennessee has just ordered seventy five new engines?to relieve tbe glut on its lines! What is the cause of this ex? traordinary growth iu freights ? Cotton?largely! Or rather cotton seed. Ten years ago a farmer brought four bales of cottou to Carrolltou. That madeoue ton of freight?and the railroads were then done with his cottou crop. He now brings his four bales of cotton, or one ton?and also two tonB of seed, from which the one ton of lint was stripped. The railroad takes the two tons of seed to Atlanta and delivers them to tbe oil mill. The mill takes 4S0 pounds of oil out of the two tons of seed, and aeuds 1,020 pounds of cotton meal, or fertilizer, back to the farmer?aud thenehips the quarter of a ton of oil to the Vest. Where the road formerly got one ton of through freight from four bales of cottou, it now ha? five ions, four tons of which are local freight. For four years now the south has added an average of 450,000 bales a year to her cotton crop. And yet the world's demand is less satisfied to-day than it was four years ago. Within five years we believe we shall eee a crop of 10,000,000 bales grown in the south, sold at fair prices. Every missionary that goes out extends the demand for cotton goods. Every new mile of territory opened up in Africa or Asia brings in new buyers. Tbe explorer, Stau ley, is but a drummer for the cotton grower. Every railroad built makes way for more cotton. Mr. Raoul has just sent us a Mexican paper, issued in a city in Mexico his railroad ban just reached. It contains a proclamation from the mayor reciting that, whereas, the railroad has reached the city, and strangers are apt to appear at any time, tbe adult males aro now required to wear breeches! Cottou breeches, of course! And bo the forces of religion, of discovery, of commerce, work together to extend the territory aud confirm the dominion of our good and stout King Cotton.?A Hanta Constitution. ?

"It's a thanksgiving story, and it ia all about a pair of dancing turkeys, "In 1881 'Popcorn George'' anii myself were down iu tho West Indios with a circus, The Creoles had more cash than cutencH-', and we found no trouble, iu mak? ing them tumble to Ji:iy tori uf racket. But the circus grew a little r.tale, and we cast about for a Dew sensation. One evening we were sitting in the shadow of the tent discussing the situation. We hau a gasoline cook^stove. A pig had been worrying us a good deal, and Pop? corn George remarked that if we would catch him aiid put him on that stove a minute he'd case to annoy U3. "'Yes,' remarked auother, 'if you'l throw a chicken on a hot stove he'll dauce.' " 'By goah !' cried George; 'we have it. We'll get up a pair of dancing tnrkeys.' "The scheme was no sooner concocted than we went to work to perfect it. Wo !.\ed the stove in a box, and a plate of sheet iron on top of the hex. We secur? ed a pair of gobblers and proceeded to work. The box had handles and when the time came fur the dancing act we would fetch the box into the ring, after having turned on tbe light, r;:d then George would lead iu the trained gobblers. "After a preliminary speech announcing the only pair of trained turkeys in the world, we would lift them on the box and tho band would strike up. Tho turkeys were held by a string and as soon as their feet struck the v earm iron thoy would be? gin to dance. Up aud down, around aud around, as the music grew faster, those two gobblers would dance fur all they were worth. When it got too hot for them we would lake them down to rest. Then wo would put them up again, and they would hop around and holler as though they were enjoying the dance most heartily. "Well, sir, the thing drew tho biggest sort of crowds for several days, and then we struck a bargain that beat anything in poultry dealing that I ever knew. A green fellow came up and asked me how they were trained. I told him that it took a long and tedious operation, "He then wanted to know what we would charge to teach him how to train them. Popcorn George replied that he did not care to tell the secret, but would sell him the turkeys and tbe apparatus. "What will you take for them ?" "Two hundred dollars apiece, four hundred for tho pair and outfit. "After a moment's hesitation the fellow accepted the proposition, thinking there was millions in the snap and he paid the money.". "Did you show him the tiick ?" "Yes, of course v/e did, after he had paid the money. He went off cursing, but I don't know what he ever did with the turnout." An Alabama Discovery* A discovery that may mean much. It may solve a-vexed problem. It may revolutionize the cotton bagging business more completely than tbe Alli? ance is now doing with its cotton bag? ging Suppose a native plant were discovered in Alabama which growB so luxuriously and has such a fine fibre and is so easily and cheaply decorticated that it could be grown at a profit in corapeticion with the cheap jute of India. That's exactly what Mr. F. J. Muller claims he has done. Mr. Muller lives in Birmingham, and is a botanist. During the pa3t several year3 he ha3 explored every nook aud cranny almost in Jefferson County, and iB familiar with all the plant life. Dur? ing these exhaustive examinations his at? tention was attracted to a wild weed, to which he gave close and critical attention. It was a plant with a fibrous stalk cover? ing, and was not very abundant, though in tbe few places where be found it it was growing luxuriantly. Last winter, when the farmers raised the issue on the Jute Bagging Trust and began to cast about them for some sub? stitute, Mr. Muller thought of his wild plants. He watched them come up and grow and ripen, and this fall he cut some of them at the proper time and laid the stalks up to dry. The other day he sat by his fire and broke the stalks to piece and decorticated them with his hands, and the product was the PltETTIlJST BUNCH OF FIEEE ever seen in Birmingham. Yesterday he came to the Age Herald office with bis prize. The sample represented tbe pro? duct of a single hill and weighed three ounces. The fibre was live feet in length, stronger by far than jute and finer. Mr. Muller says tbia first sample is from j stalks growing wild in Jefler.irn County not twenty miles from Birmingham. He would not tell either ihe common or bo natic name of the plant, but calls it alabama .TUTE "That is my secret," be said. "I think I have found something that will supplant jute for cotton bagging, and be tho cheapest and bc-st material lor many other usas. The fineness of the fibre makeB it good for sacks, sail cloth, rope and eveu duck." "But can it ho decorticated cheap enough to overcome tbe cheap hand labor of India?" asked tho Age Herald reporter. "Certainly. The stalk and bark break completely away from the fibre. Tho stalk, through an ordinary cane mill, will come out with the fibre almoat clean. It can bo cleaned cheaply with the ordi? nary hand break. BuL I have already deviseds a machine which will do the bu?inesa' in competition with any hand labor in the world." "How much will an acre make?" "Just as the plant is, growing wild iu fertile valley soil, it will yield one thou? sand pounds per acre. With cultivation, of course, the product can be indefinitely enlarged." Mr. Muller ia confident he has made a discovery that will enrich the Southern firmer and add a new product to every Southern farm. He if going to make a thorough trial and report progress to the Aye HcrtuU. ?uu thing certain, his specimens of fibre nro very fiuo. A Triumph for Cnlisnyn.
