Bonham, at tended a fish .fry at Martin's lake on Satur day evening last, which we learn was a very enjoyable affair. . The young men of the town have organ ized a B. B.

Their ground, which is abeau tiful one, is now cleaned and they declare themselves ready to receive challenges from any part of the State, Charleston excepted. One of our go-ahead farmers has com menced the "laying by" of corn, which is the earliest I think I have ever known. Who can beat it ? Ap Frierson still improves. Three doc tors visited him one day last week. Upon their return I asked what they thought of him. The answer was "we believe he will get well inspite ofall we can dofor him." Mrs. H. A. Mason the mother of, our es teemed warden, C. M Mason, arrived last evening from Jacksonville, Fla., where she has been since January 1, visiting sons there. She is looking well, and seem pleas edwith Fla. Within the last few days, we have had fine rains which has set crops beside them selves. Mr. W. A. Sparks (of whose corn we spoke last week) fears his corn will grow too large tohandle, and sohas spoken to a certain wiiiman, proposing to have it sawed in small pieces at harvest time. F.

May, of Kiugstree, S. C., is at the Central Hotel, and is the agent here for~ "Hitchcock's New and Complete Analysis of the Bible." The work is a large octavo volume of about 1,200 pags and contains, of course, all that is-in the ordinary Bible, together with Cruden's Revised Concordance. The work has been earnestly commended by the most eminent scholars of all denomima tions, and it has been very happily describ ed as the Bible of the Wor~king Christian. It is preeminently the Bible of the busi ness man, the man of moderate scholarship and of more moderate leisure. The reader may turn-with a wonderful and unerring rapidity to any subject that may be referr'ed ;o in the Scriptures. It takes only a glance at Hitchcock's great work to show that it is,. perhaps, the most admirable pnblication that has been offered for sale within the past twenty-five years.

Address Commnunications in- care of Mani The County Treasurer Explains. M. EDITOR: I notice in your issue of the 9th, a communication signed "Tom," in which he says he is -serving tax executions which necessitates much unnecessary rid ing" And he goes on to say, "When the Sheriff gave me the batch of papers I was eager for the fray * * ashamed to tell the public how badly I was chanced * * soon found dereliction of duty some where, or some body had done some miserably bad book-keeking * * found nine out of ten receipts." As every body knows the tax executions are issued by the Treasurer, I deem it ex pedient to say, that the finding so many of these receipts is not chargeable to this office, which I think I can show to every fair and unbiased mind. In the first place I have nothing to de with the making up of the tax books on which the tax charges are made. The book is prepared by the County Auditor, turned ,over to me, I receipt for same, and then proceed to collect the taxes as charged thereon. When a tax payer pays his taxes, it is so marked with the date of payment. During the rush of the collection it is possible to omit marking the payment of a name when it is made, but experience has shown this to be of very rare occurence and when this does occur, of course it is my mistake and is cor rected by me afterwards when discovered. After the time for payment expires, -I am directed by the laic to issue executions against all unpaid taxes charged on the tax book. Now it frequently occurs that the same name is found charged up with taxes unpaid in an other township different to the one that the party lives in or has paid in; or perhaps in the same township two tax charges to the same name in separate places. It sometimes occurs that another person bearing the same name of oue who has paid his taxes is found and is really a delinquent (this occurs mostly with colored people). lint it also occurs that one and the same person is charged up on tax book in two places for the same tax. Of course he does not and should not pay but one, and the ex hibition of his receipt shows that he has paid one tax and the other tax charged to be erroneous. These mistakes are called "double en tries," and when discovered it becomes the duty of the Co. Auditor to abate these erro neous charges made on the tax book. But the question is, why these "double entries" which cause so much ''unnecessary riding" and "finding receipts"? This is a question that does not apply to me. As I have already stated, the 'Treasurer-does not make up the tax book for the collection of taxes, and knows nothing of the charges therein until the same is completed and turned over to him, and he has no power to add to, deduct from, or make a single cor rection on same. The book is prepared by the Auditor, and I will add that where double "Tax Ieturns" are made to him he cannot be blamed for the "double entries" but it is through him that any correction of erroneous assesments of taxes can be made. I will not suppose that "Tom" intended to reflect directly on this office, but if he felt agrieved, and it was his intention to do so, I am satisfied that with this explanation he willsee that he was doing me an injus tice. H. H. HUGGINS, Co. Treasurer. New Church at Harvin's. Please allow me to say, through the col umns of the Txxzs, that our new church at Harvin's is now complete-the finishing touches on the inside have been done and the pulpit nicely furnished.
