Post Master Oxuer, in accordance with instructions received from Post Master General Key, will make ain in ventory of all lettei s, packaxges, pnicrs and other mailable matter that will pass through the postoillce in the Iirst seven days of November. Of course the order likewise applies to all other postmnasters in the county. The treasurer's ofilee is thronged daily, and yet a large nmumbcr of peo ple have ixot yet paid. The time ex pires on Friday, and as fifteen extra d (ays were puLt oix at thxe beginning~of the timxe-thxe oflce being open from the 15th of September instead of the 1st of October, as heretofore-it is not likely that thxe time will be extended. Profe~ssor Willonghby Reade the Loiidon elocutionist, who will visit Winnxsboro early in November, brinugs tastimonmials of the most flattering character. Seniator Hill says: "Pro fessor Read's entertainxmentls are the best of the kind I ever attended." The R1ev. Dr. Curry, of Rlichmonxd, says, "I would give a thoxusanid dollars If I could read 'Karl the Martyr' as .Professor Rleade does." Professor. James HI. Carlisle and Mr. Charles Petty, of Spartanbunrg, say, "His RIavenx' we have nxever heard excelled. is pronounciation and articulationx wvill serve as models for any readers or students." The Rev. T. HT. Law pronounces him "a true artist," and Col. T. Stobo Farrow says "his read ings are Inimitable." From ali this we int'er that lie Is anx elocutionist of real merit. THE BUsINEss BOOM.-After a series of years of depression, Winnsboro is. rejoicing In a real old business revival. It was feared that the drought and the rains had greatly injured the cotton crop. But the dry warm spell devel -.oped a laxrge number of thxe late bolls -and brought up the general average * considerably. The crop will be small, but it is much better thxan was expect ed, and the firmness in thxe market has wreathed many a farmer's face in smiles. -The price has ranged steadily above ten cents for some time, and cot ton has been pouring In. The sales in town foxr the week ending Saturday 25th wvoro hxeavier than weroeover be * ore known, and at one time over eight hundred bales wvere piled at the depot awyaiting shiipmept. The mer chants were kept on a rushx the whole week, selling goods and taking In money not only on current accounts, but also on old debts. Trade wich had been run oft' by railroad diserimi nations Is coming back. This Is due largely to the exertionsof the mer chants who have'been more than over wlde awake this year. Thxe farmers hihav ld hoapyfand attended close gelves -now. with a surplus in tholk poakets, to inest In othier things thmaul the mere nxecessaries of' life. Business. has been brisk this wveek~ also, ,.On Tuoyday tho transactions 01 tho d3ank i'eached oter twentyafive thousand 4ollars, orta t iya belugas single draft for overi' furtoon thottsand -dollars, the proeede 6N lfo ett~ p~uvoiaeed by Mfr. Millett to h idi hsrewat 0 a h part of the county was injured by tho drought. The crops on Wateree Rivei are above the average. From all partf of the county come the same reports. Although nobody has made a fortune still we feel warranted in saying that the tido has taken a turn and we are once more on the way to prosperity. . The Bank paid out in actual cash across its counter $44,000 for cotton in six days, of which $25,000 was paid the first three days of this week. This does not include tile oexhango. TAX RETURNS.-An erroneous im pression prevalis that in returning property the owner has to swear to the valne of his land. This is a mis take. lie returns the nuinber of acres, aind the equalization board fixes the price. As a matter of convenience the owner is requested to estimate the value of the land as a guide to the Board, and in very rare Instances are any changes made. Tihe changes come from a diflbrenne ofjudginent, not from an intention to charge the person mnak ing the return with fraud. Instances have occurred where two persons hold ig adjoining tracts of land of the same kind have returned them at a very dif forent valuation, because different men have different ideas of value. In such a case the equalizing board, rtualizing the spirit of the law to be that the similar lands must pay the same tax, either raise the first one's return or lower the other's. It makes no dif ferhnce to the State, for the simple purpose of taxation, whether alI its lands average one dollar an acre or ten, provided that similar lands are not valuedl at one dollar in one county and at tell dollars in another. The duty of the State Board is to reconcile these discrepancies and make tihe valuation proportional over the whole State, and the act of tile State Board does not fix tile actual value of time property, but mlerely the relative value of property. In soine States real estate is assessed at one-third its value, so that ll -1 worth thirty dollars all acre is returned at ten dollars, and land worth twenty dollars is assessed at six and two thirds dollars. So ifa man In Fairfield returns his land at five dollars, and the Board raises It to six, this does not meanthat the land is really worth six, but that if somebody else has similar lands returned at six, this land must be put at six dollars too, the questioll whether one shall be raised to six or the other reduced to five depending entirely on whether the general aver age of the saine kind of land is live dollars or six. This is all the Board does. When land is below tIle aver age, it is put up; whei above, it is lowiered. This secures a uniform valuation. Some people raise an out cry about land being over-assessed. This makes no dif'erence, provided the increase of valuation produces a pro portionate decreitse ill the tax levy. The money necessary to run the gov erment is a fixed sum year'ly, which has to be raised by taxation. If ten mlills is enmoughl oni a vatluationl of one hundrecd and thirty millions, it would take tw~omnty mills if the assessment be reduced one-hmalf. Were the assess ment doubled, the levy wvould be but five muiills, but the sum realized would be the same, and each man's tax would be the same under either assessment. Wre the levy a fixed sum, it would make a difference aliout the assessment, but since the levy is inver'sely bropor tional to the assessment, thle product or the tax paid will remnainl a constant quantity. If people will reflect they will see thlat this is the proper view to take of this matter.. A PEEP AT NEWBERAtY. Evidences of Activity and Prosperity E~verywh~ere Visible. JACC8ON's CRtEEK, Oct. 25.-A few days ago we received notice to attend a court of refer~enco at Newboerry. Being of a lawv-abiding nature we went. 'We cr'ossed Broad River at Ashford's Ferry, and traveled through a portion of the county that once teemed with wealth, and from the excellent looking crops and cheerful appearance of the people, we would infer thiat most of itwas still in a pros perous condition. 'We arrived at the town of Newberryin due time, and after finishing with the court we saunt ered out to see the aights, if any there wore. All around could be hoard the sound of thle hammer, saw and trowel, Rebuilding tile burnit portion of the town seemed to be tile special order of the day, and to make the buildings or nlamental as well as useful the ambi tion of tihe owners5. Among these re Mower & Lane, Cash & Langford, Crotwell, and Pool &Schumport. Th< last named are rebuilding the. olc Newberry Hotel with a view to ti< comfort of the traveling public.

UiILys.-Telo graphic information was received in this city yesterday afternoon of the death of Col. L. D. Childs, of Coluir bia, S. C. Col. Childs wasa native of Lincoluton, N. C., and moved to Co lumnbla about the first year of the war. He has been a prominout and wealthy citizen of that place, having been Lirgoly interested in the Saluda cotton factoiy, and until a year or two ago president of the Carolina National Bank, of that city. His remains will be brought by the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad, probably this afternoon, and carried to Lincointon for interment by the side of those of his wife, who died suddenly of heart disease a few years ago.
