I ? I fREAUFOKT, S. C. JUNK 30 1875 JSP'Shi'ldon township has assessed a tax of three mills for school purposes. Yciliusec has assessed a tax of two mills and Robert township a tax of two mills for the same purpose. pyNow is the time to make your returns. The Auditor can be found at his office ready to attend to you, so don't delay until the last day, if you wish to avoid the 50 per cent, penalty. - . J^-The True South of Branson is as spicy as usual. It informs its renders that "Sister Fuller is better," which is good aews, and that the editor feels poorly as their market only supplies bacon and hominy, which is bad news. +' - tg?~Last Saturday evening our thrifty burglars crossed Ih'c ferry and paid a visit to the store of Mr. W. G. Rcbinson 011 the Fuller place. But little booty was secured, probably enough to last until next Saturday, when some other victim will be selected by these light fingered gentry. C5F"Thc British ship Eumanidcs, Capt Beard arrived at our wharf last Saturday, ar.d is discharging ballast in Mr Harrisons wharf. The Eumanidcs is a full rigged ship of 1105' tons, is l'rotn Greenock Scotland, and js owned, and will be load Mil l?y, Messrs Robbins Budding ton nud C*o. with timber for some European market. She will carry about one million feet. 1307 Governor Chamberlain has appointed N. B. Myers Treasurer of Beaufort county, vice George Holmes removed for cause, and John Roberts trial justice at Bruuson vice II. R. Pinckney. We are informed that Mr. ? Pinckney expects to enter "Yale College. 5sr Smuggling is said to flourish in our -icinUy to a considerable extent. Rumor gives this branch of industry as being ot no small proportions, and a case was recently tried before one of our trial justices resulting from a disagreement between alleged operators in this service. '"Croo'tcd whiskey" is active but no one Bccms inclined to interest themselves in putting a stop to its shipment, and consumption. --^"Tony Capers a son of Si ih Capers, living on Fripp p ?int died very B'.iddorly hist Thursday bvcnmg and his friends decided that death was caused by eating poisoned terrapin soup A little girl who ate a small quantity of the soup was taken sick but recovered. It is alleged that threats had been made against the deceased, which confirmed the suspicious of foul play. Dr Johnson was notified and held an inquest. Quite an interesting meeting of the voters of Beaufort township was held al the council chamber last Saturday, foi the purpose of assessi ng a tax for school purposes for the coming year. Exceptions were taken to the report of the trustees as not being full enough, and the meeting appointed a committee to audit the accounts and rcoort at an adjourned meetto be held on Saturday July 10th. Much interest was manifested in tlu school end a lively debate of nn hour and n half showed that this important tea tun will hereafter receive attention from some others than politicans. ?*- .Iymbnial.?On Thursday even ing la*t ylr. John P. Boyce and Miss Ilel cn 31. Clancy were married in the Cuth (lie church by FatVurFo'.chi. The church we venture to say, never was quite so full before and although the ail wns very oppressive the audience was so good natured and chatty n9 twice to require the Priest to conic out and call them to order. After the ceremony the-happy couph received their friends at the Sea Islanc Hotel where dancing was indulged in till twelve o'clock when the guests sat dowr to an elegant supper such as Mrs. Old knows how to provide. After doing , justice to the supper dancing wa: resumed and kept up till a late hour. The town couucil met last Wednesday evening. The case of Hetty Chisolm foi keeping a disorderly house was called but as she failed to appear the Marsha was ordered to compel her to attend tin upxt meeting. An application was re ccived from J. E. Boyco for a renewal o his liquor licence with F. W. Bchcpei and John Franz ns securities. The town treasurer reported a halanct oqp nnnu oi I lie following bhJi s?erc presented anil referred to the fin a.nee committee: W. II. Cnlvett, $7.4? M. Wallace, 40.71 41 race Myers, 8.5C Beaufort Tkikunk, 10.40 On motion of Wardca Itobinson it was resolved to pay the town employees t< June 5 amounting U> $100. A check foi l was ordered to pay S. Mayo foi chloride of lime. Aiken county Is not. like Ikaufort cotju ty the paradise of road ovotwera. A triu justice posse in trying to compel sonn iiten to xvt rk on the roads were tired late and two ?f <.lieir nittnl) irs wounded, aui tlie some my lit a son of one of the wonn dc.d men was murdered. The best waj is to do as we do, let the roads go, ami pay tlie (o ers ers titty dollars n year eacl ^ fur doit g nothing and (lun we have n< murders on this account.

The fact that we live at, a distance 1 1 t from a "Pott of Entry," does not 1 i necessarily entail upon us that terrible i | ennui which results from monotony. Wet j are rot sufficiently isolated to feel no in- j ; terest in events which transpire lieyond ( i the limits of our Corporation. We are a ! j live people; have our exits and cutrcn-j i ces in the Drama, and while, with I pardonable egotism wo look mainly to ! our own interests, our eyes are bv no j means entirely closed to what operates > J around us. The Hail Road track passes directly through the centre of our little | town. This alone is sufficient to exact 1 a feeling of interest for the Port Royal j Rail Road. We desire to witness a steady ' increase in the freight and passenger list, and a feeling closely allied to enthusiasm ! , is experienced when an extra train rolls up to the depot. Rut, there has existed j tor some time a tcciing witli reference to J this Road which does not depend for its i origin altogether upon this commendable and disinterested desire for its prosperity. The able and efficient management | of the late President T. P. Branch.1 (whose administrative ability failed to i , impress its:) has cooled our ardour con-, side!ably, and though the arrival and j departure of the train is frequently the! j signal which sends us scudding-about like ' some dement cdJin dividial's, our counter.ir1 ccs exhibit no anxiety which woublrircly I i be mistaken for that excitement which j i boys discover when pleasure or mischief j is anticipated. Our possessions are so j j small that we cannot look with in di (Terence upon the sacrifice of anv thing which ; we dignify by the name property. We are simple enough to consider that we have some interest in a cow which we have purchased and whether poor or not we still regard it a cow and hold ; the conviction with all deference to tlv* >I opinions entertained by Mr. Branch that 1! we arc entitled to compensation for its | | loss when killed by anengine. The course | i pursued by Mr Branch in this respect en-1 I courages the inference that Bail Road 1 officers regard our right to property de-! i'pendent entirely upon such conditions! and restrictions as their policy shall I direct, them to impose. One ot these j conditions it appears is that the cattle ' i must keep clear of the track. Othci wise i the engineer who jerks open the throttle1 '' antl drives liis engine over them is entire-' I ly exculpated from blame nn<l the It. It. I j company is relieved from all rcsponsibil1 itv. A few individuals fnifing to comi " i prehend the justice in this novel feature ' of ltail Road economy applied to the ! courts for redrcs=. Judgement was obtain1 j cd, but of what avail? Mr. Hranch direct' ted that appeals should be taken and the ' I matter ended because parties were unable j to incur further expense. Another cause j . j of complaint is the unnecessary delay of! I ' tmights shipped fiom points beyond the | . j Road. We seldom send for supplies un- : less we need them and our disappoint ' | ment can be imagined when they fail to I , arrive. Picture to yourself a fellow hur- ! ! rying out in the expectation tlmt supplies | shinp' d from Charleston er Savannah i , ( only ten days since will enable him to' replenish a depleted larder. Cook is or-' ; dercd to fire up stove, sundry buckets of j ' ; water are hastily transfcrcd from well to | ; kitchen. ev.irv thing is in readiness , | Pater Familias returns empty handed . with compressed lips. and the fright-; 11 ened juveniles stand'around live'v and ( step light, as he mutter* maledictions , against Rraneli and his Rail Road.! These things Mr. K'Htor in connection I r | with the frequent loss of cotton and' i other freights, have destroyed eonfi lenee ! to the extent. that wagon** loaded with \ I jcotton have been known, to cross the ; track nt llrunsnn, ami discharge load , | fifteen or eighteen miles beyond for trans J I portation by boat. Docs tins furnish no {explanation. that the road is do-1 I j fieient in cross ti"s, and the track badly 1 | kept 11 j>? How could repairs progress, I I i when certain sections could master frc; qneritlv only two hands? We are not i stock holders in this road but we arc; " i inter* sted in its success, passim' through i I a country to which the whistle of an engine should have been a godsend. I r Under efficient management the road i . ' could not I ail to enhance the value of; I our property, hence we deplore anything ' | which reflects discredit, upon that which ' | should be pointed to with pride. The - nppointmeut of Mr Wilson we consider 1 .! a move in the right direction and cor- j | ! diallv congratulate the Company oi: the ' J exchange effected. r | Our acquaintance with Mr. Wilson I though slight is sufiicent to warrant the t! assertion, that he will apply the energy t he evidently possesses for the removal of those abuses which have given the Road & bad odor in the nostrils of honest men, in which effort we wish him a hearty God 5 speed and ultimate success. Already! 1 an improvement is apparent, but lie will { I find it an "uphill" business. Time is ncc ossnry with careful management and i i i prompt payment for stock destroyed or' , freight lost during transportation to res-! j tore that confidence without which tlie i i Tlond must contend with disadvantages r sullioentlv formidable to make success doubtful.
