TH A1ING TES., M-amr.ing, 5t. C - S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, December II, 1889. JEFFERSON DAVIS 15 DEAD. Jefferson Davis is dead! The last - grand.pillar of the Southern Confed eracy is fallen. He is the last of the men of prominence who refused, at the end of the war, to take the oath of allegiance to the United States gov ernment. He asked for no favors, but stood forth a strong towering pillar, the remnant of that old institution so dear to every Southern heart. The South to-day through her entire length and breadth will do honor to his memory. The Governor of every Southern State has issued a proclama tion making to-day a memorial day. He will be buried to-day at 12 o'clock, and at that hour every town and ham let will hold a meeting to do honor to -Ais:memory. All the merchants in this town will cose their stores, and at 12 o'clock a public meeting will be held in the court house. Let everybody attend. Jeff Davis, the noble patriot, the pres = ident of- our lost cause is dead: let us do honor to his memory. WASTING CONFEDERATE MONEY. Mr. Galluchat last week in an edi torial in this paper on Wasting Con federate Money struck the keynote to the situation. We have not the fig ures at hand, but the expenses of dis-. bursing the $50,000 to the disabled Confederate veterans and their wid ows was more than ten per cent. of the entire fund ! Think of it! Of every dollar of this fund 1 paid out it costs more than ten cents of that dollar to pay it out! Where did it go? Mr. Wade Hampton Manning, of Columbia, got a big salary for acting as disbursing clerk, when the work might easily have been divided out among the al Saaldy well paid clerks. Each county board (three members to each board), + a regiment of 105 men, got twenty four dollars apiece for their work. H is a fact that each member of thb, county boards got fifty cents more than a pensioner did! Yet every thing was done in accordance with the law. It is the law that is at fault! The clerk of court has most of the work to do, yet he gets not one cent l for his services. The auditor gets t -Ing for his services. We feel con irent that the pension boards, too, g roold have 'ven their services free. ~Why then ~e$2,500 of this funid to 3 aythese thirty-five boards? But it s done: the money has been paid out, ~nitit can't be helped. We sincerely E' ope, however, that there will not ' tgibe such awaste of so sacred a . Sseveterans, and let every man here ~aer who in any way assists in the ibreet of this fund, contribute ?:btmuch of his time and talent for the love of the dear old-dead Confed weasy. NOT A CANDIDATE a.week' we copied an article fro 1IbS . MaVhews Herald, advocat 3nJos.T. Rhamne, sq, for the' va inm ythe judgesp in the Scond 'Uct We knew that the HeraldI ~soff its balance in this nominationa, that a lawyer residing in thisl Sthird circuit, could not be elected ~~ajugeshp in the second circuit: we copied the article sim-1 aseoplimntar toMr. Rhamie,, Lbn no ommients on it. Mr. ~h efears, however, that some one, ''Zt6ia with the facts in theitase, 7mythink that he is an aspirant for ~i~9~ohiio,.and in a conversation K himthis week gave us four rea .aawhylhe is no cendidate for theji ~~c.in the third circuit, or for'< ~~n~ udgeship at all. (1) The consti- 1 Stnonof the State requires a judge ~ oreside in the circuit for which he ~ elected, and there is at present no< ~~vaany in this, the third circuit. S(StThe unwritten law will not allow any lawyer to seek preferment in an ~othercircit than that in which he re- I ~ades, there always being a suffeient ' tiisaber ,of lawyers in every circuit ~ulcomnpetent to fill all the offees II ~dwear all the honors, at'least that13 xJthe presumption. (3i, Mr. Rhamne has not sought and is not seeking anyi such preferment, but is the ardenti Ssupporter of a candidate in every cir enicut where there is a vacancy. (4) Mr. :hame says he does not care to leave his pleasant home-for any office, and that he would not accept any I Ef .oee or-position that wouldi xeine1 him to break up his pleasant home, surroundings. We make the above explanation to Sset Mr. Rhame clear before the pub-: Jic. fe is an able lawyer, asafe~ ~counsellor, and an honest man, and would grace a judge's bench were hie elevated to it; and while we have thisi high opinion of Mr. IRhamne, and while we belheve he would be gratified to be j elevated to the judgeship of his circuit, yet we do not believe he has any great aspirations in that direction, and we feel satisfied that were there a vacancy, and were Judge Fraser a Scandidate for re-election, that Mr. BhI~ame would not under any circumn stances opposehim. DON'T EXT&D) TILE TfIE. 1 There is, or was, a bill before thel Legislature to extend the time for paying taxes to the -15th of January. We sincerely hope the bill will not pass. Anyiman who does not pay hisj taxes by Dec. 15th, does not want to, and the penalty should attach. The: habit of every year extending the time for the payment of taxes looks1 ebildish. If the intention is to make" - an. 15th the limnit, why not say so at, frat, and make that the limnit. e sure to visit Moses Levi's store, and get bhis low prices, and youwill do your trading ?es. He sells remarkably cheap for ca sh Big Turnips at Foreston. EntOR MANsIXG TInEs:-AI(oW me a few ines in your paper to tell of the big things hey Lave at Foreston besides corn. It was ny pleasure to be there a few days ago and ras invited by that very clever, polite, and >ig-hearted man, Col. Hudgins, to his office, md the first thing that met my gaze was a ig pile of the finest turnips I've ever seen *n all of my wanderings. I picked one from he pile for its beauty of shape, and when I md a friend of mine started to have the )ffice we were banded two turnips each. Lrwo of which weighed ten pounds and four unces. There were many in the pile that reighed as much and more. While there I aw Mr. Hudgins sell a party three for a iickle, that would have messed a family >f ten all in.good health and hungry. For -ton is the place to buy turnips, and also o learn how to grow them. Before I finish must say in justice to Mr. Hudgins that e did not give we the turnips to brag about, or they were not his brag turnips. He had ome from the same field that weighed sev n pounds each. Hurrah for Foreston and dr. Hudgins. C.

All build ngs of any sort, that are worth tea dollars ir over, are to be returned. A goad way for the taxpayer, who ha9 auch property to return, is to maake a mem-i irandumn of each buelding and its value, the mrmber of horses, cattle, mules, sheep and~ oats, bogs, watches, organs and pianos, >aggies, wagons and carriages, dogs, mer handise, machinery, moneys, notes and ae ounts (above indebtedness), furniture, &c:, rhich will save the taxpayer time, and ena >e the assessor-to progress in the work. Taxpayers return what they own on the rst day of January, 1890. Assessors and taxpayersewill enter the first iven name of the taxpayer in full, also, aake a separate return for each party for he township the property is in, and where he taxpayer owns realty to insert the post ffice as their place of residence, and those ho only own personal property to give the arty's name who owns the land they live in as their residence, which aids the tax. ayer as well as the county treasurer in naking the collection and preventing errors. Every male citizen between the ages of wenty-one and fifty years on the first dayl f January 1890, except those incapable ofI arning a support from being mained, or rm other causes, shall be deemed taxable All returns that are made after the ?u'en eth day af February next have to be placed n the additional list and fifty per cent. enalty added thereto, unless prevenmted by; ickness or out of the county during thec ime'of listing. Not knowing the time of~ isting is no excuse. And all owners of! al estate might do their tenants, who can-! mt read ok take a newspaper, a great favor. >y making their returns or telling them the lie of listing, and that if they fail to make heir returns in timne that the valuation has o be increased fifty per cent. unless th:y maye a good excuse, The assessing and collecting of taxes is 1l done now in the same year, and we have o aggregate the number and value of allt he horses, cattle, mules, &c., as well as theI ,cres of land, lots and buildings and their alue, that there is in the county and have he same on file in the Comptroller Gener .1's office by the thirtieth day of June each 'ear. And from that time to the first day f October each year the auditor's ar d treas-] irer's duplicate has to be completed and an; bstract of the work in the Comptroller's fice by that time, which wdll show at am ~lance that the auditor has no time to take n returns, or do anything else much, be. ween the first day of March and the first lay of October each year, but work on the~ >ooks and blanks. Therefore hope that all axpayers will do us the favor of making heir returns in time. *DANIEL J.

The undersigned would indeed be ungrateful were they not to return many thanks for the liberal support of many of Claren don's best people. We are annually enlarging our business in all branches, and are offering Unusual Inducements to purchasers. We are accused of catering for the farmers trade, and we feel a just pride in pleading "Guilty" to the Indictment. Need we ask what would become of the country were it not dependent on the success of the farmers? in order therefore,. to insure their success is it not the part of wisdom for the merchant to LEND A HELPING HAND ? We, at least entertain this opinion, and henceforth wiiHdi= vide profits with them-and in fact all patrons of our House, We are in no hurry to accumulate wealth, especially at the expense of the - TOILING M.A.SSES. With this view of business as it exists to-day, we ask our friends of Clarendon county to visit us, make A Special Call, and we.feel assured of convincing them pf the truth of these statements.
