CQUNTY TAXES.
Again the saue odd story is repeat
ed by the County Cownissioners to
claiiants, "we can't pay your clims.
there is no money in the Tre"asury.
Their story is too true. rom the tax.
levy of the last fiscal year the Treasur
er his reported but $5,3% to meet
a registered debt of over C7,G1.
This deficit, to pay which there is no
prospect, is largely due to pers)ns in
narrowed circumstances, who no
doubt have depended upon what is
owing them by the County, to meet'
pressmng debts, or perhaps supply them
the necessaries of life. Is it wisdom
or economy for the Commissioners to
contract these obligations when thc
means of meeting them is clearly want
ing ? Is it just to entice men who ie
pend upon their daily exertions
procure a livelihood for themselves;
and families, with promises of remun
oration, to spend their money and time
for the County when to compensate
them is imposible? No! Bettcr let
us stand still and every nian's law anJ
protection be his will and ability.
The present state wcld be less de
plorable, but for the fact that for sev
eral years past, owing to the inisnuiu
ciency of the tax for ordinary County
purposes, heavy balances lave been;
accumulating until our finances are
nearing a condition unsurpassed by
the dark period ante to "76.'
A speedy and radical change has be
come necessary, or comiplete bankrupt
cy and demoralization will be the in
evitable result. By means unknown
to us, the current expenses must be
curtailed, or then the ordinary tax be
made equal to the dewand upon it.
As we now stand the Commissioners
would act in accordance. with law and
right, were they to refuse to contract
debts further than they are assured
the tax levy will liquidate.
More might well and properly be
written on this subject, but we have
no doubt that with their experience and
the light before them our Legislators
ill fail to see that it is a paramount
duty, they owe to their County, to
pvide against this evil in the future.
Lien Law.
Farmers and merchants have been
watching with keen interest the action
of the General Assembly in regard to
the Lien Law. A strong effort was
made to procure its repeal, and a bill
to that effect met the approbation of
the Lowei House by a large majoritv,
but was vetoed by the Senate. The
following bill by the latter body is the
. legislation on the subject to this time:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representa'ives of the State
of South Carolina, now met and sitting
in General Assembly, and by -the au
thority of the same:
SEenoN 1. That from and after the
.e of this Act the landlord shall
vea lien upon the crons of his ten
ant for his rent in rprefei-enee to all
other liens. That laborers who assist
in making any crop shall have a Jien
thereon to the extent of the amount
due them for such labor next in prior
ity to the landlord, and as between
such laborers there shall be no prefer
nce. That all other liens for agricul
tural supplies shall be paid next after
the satisfaction of the liens of the land
lord and laborers, and shall rank in
otherrespects as they do now under
exsting laws.
SEC. 2. That no wvriting or record
ing shall be necessary to create the
-liens of the landlord, but such lien
shall exist from the date of the con
trac, whether the same be in writing
or verbal.
SC. 3. That all Acts and parts of
Acts inconsistent with or supplied by
this Act be, and the samno are hereby,
This inno wise affects the rights of
the landlord or laborer, and all that
ba been accomplished is to open wid
:sr the door for fraud. The Lien Law
aa provided food for many and per.
%aps made as many more homeless.
At any rate it still adorns our Statute
ook, and the wisdom of the Senate
would have been as unquestionablc had
they allowed the matter to remaim i
aatu quo.
JORDAN PENCILINGS.
Mr. Editor: Our vicinity has been
very devoid of any local news, of an
exciting nature, since the daring and
bold-faced robberies committed on the

ben published in the Turns.
A negro boy, who lives near Jordan,
has twelve toes, six on each foot. He
has an aunt who has eleven toes. Is
this a freak of nature, evolution of the
toe, or just a multam-toe breed ?
,Mrs. J. M1. Sprott has received a
box of very large oranges, a present
from a cousin, Mr. Samuel E. John
son, who left Jordan, for Florida. last
winter. Mr. Johnson writes that he

Hog cholera is unusudy prevalent

success-but as we wcre not favoredl

Cremation Again.
The United States crematory, which
has just been completed, is on a hill,
at Fresh Pond, L. i, about 10 yards
from the railroad station. It is of
wh'ite marble, 17 feet high, :30 fe
wide, and 70 feet long. The retort for
burning the bodies of the dead is in a
room in an. adjoinine building. Iu
this room tfie body intended for inci
eration will be laid in a cofriin-shaped
eraddile made of chilled Norway iron
bars. The cradle will be placed upon
the rollers of a movable frame, which
Iframe will be pushed also on rollers
up to tho furnace and projected
through the furnace door. The cre
mation of a body will require at least
two toils of cotl. Tests have been
made with the bodies of hogs, live!
hundred pounds in wveigtht, which have
been reduced to ashes in two minutes.
A large number of bodies have accu
nmulated awaiting the finishing of this
crematory. The expense of funerals
will be reduced to a maininum by this
means of disposing of the dead. In
stead of elaborate marble shafts and
mausoleums, the ashes of the departed
will he preserved in urns, upon which
will be graven such rerds as the
frends wish to preserve of the dead.
A -ll this~ seems, as indeed it is, the re
.ial of heathen or pagan burial, bgut
then, in all our graveyards are ronun
iscences of the ancient religions. The
uprigh~t shaft, so commion in our cemne
teies, ILntdaUe the Egyptian pyra
i ds and is emblematic of a worship
which flourished centuries before the
Christian era. .Jav Gould hats prepar
