This aggregation will come together in annual powwow to-day. It will think a great deal and talk more about who to eloot judges but during the sossions which it will hold botwoon times the dlsponsnry law will bo tinkered .with mostly. Tho dispensary law is not sus ceptlblo of amendment but manifold attachments will bo stitched to it and numerous intricate changes will bo wrought in its texture. Salaries will not be reduced, not much. To roduce salaries would in volvo destruction to Reform. It would be to sow tho rich beds of Reform in salt. Reform cannot live except it bo Vfed by salaries. It subsists upon them \und the higher they aro tho moru it ithrlvos oven as ragweed nourishes $Jwhore aristocratic wheat has been cut idown. Small salaries may in a few in stances bo reduced and tho underlings who work "down stairs" in tho State Houso may suffer but tho true blue, wlso and exulted Reformers will not huvo their wages lowered. Thoy could not endure It. It Would kill thorn dead. Look out for the creation of a few now offices though, multiplication being a fad of Reform. Tho Australian Ballot has no chance Of adoption. Roform will speak woll of it and wrlto up a good eharactor for it but adopt it, novor. Why? Reform is afraid of it. It has no reassuring olo ttiont of humbug and it takes a humbug to attract and enamour Reform. Tho session of the Goneral Assembly will bo brimful of interest. It will bo comic. It will bo a fitting sequel to tho chrysanthemum. Gaudy, flaring Reform will blossom. Tho Stato Is safo. For tho time being, it will bo in tho hands of tho truly groat. Hon. C. Bloaso, Hon. H. Bulst, Hon. Willio C. Wolfe, Hon. S. Blghain, etc., otc. aro at tho fore. We unroformcd have a right to bo "seriously tickled." ,.. In Lancaster county, this state, two ^. townships issued railroad bonds to the ' amount of $58,000. Their legality was resisted and the townships employed Attorney Ira B. Jones to represent their interests. Mr. Jones was to bo paid out of the funds raised by volun tary subscription. Mr. Jones went to considerable trouble and expense but was paid only $1.'12, a sum less than his actual outlay. Ho had then been to the supreme court twice with the cases. Subsequently the cases went to tho . United States court and tho county commissioners of Lancaster employed Mr. Jones to represent the townships again, agreeing to pay him one half of the amount he might save the town ? ships. Mr. Jones was able to compromise ' ili7S<^ises saving the townships *.'10.000 but ho accepted as his fee only $12,(300 af tor which he is said to have lifted a mortgago of about $250 from a church, showing of course that the said Mr. Jonos is a remarkably liberal man in his ,'iftsjas weil as reaonable in his charges for legal services. Mr. Jones is a very great Reformer, who comes high though we must have him. Tho county commissioners of Lancaster aro the most satisfactory clients that we havo heard of or read of. The tenor of the letter.-: printed in another column seonis to be that it will be no easy task to rive tho Saluda side from Laurens. The reasons urged against the proposition appear to be thoroughly appreciated and it is likely that they will prove even more gene rally effective when its pleasing edge of novelty has worn off. On tho other hand, men of the stamp of Messrs. Turner, Watts and Puckott do not go off half cocked and it may be taken for sure that thoy do not speak for a sentiment that has no strength in their communities. THE Adverti ser beliovos that fishermen who drop lines into tho Saluda from tho hither bank will continue Laurons boys at least until after a constitutional con vention, and, let us hope, forover. Bottlewashor Traxler admits that some few of his bottles were not up to tho required size. Wo commend the candor of the eminent, renowned bot tle washer. The Georgetown grand jury should be eourt-martlallod. Let it bo demolished. What effect will tho session of the Goneral Assembly have on tho receipts ot tho Columbia Dispensarie??

John J. McSwain, of the South Car olina Collego, Is now at homo suffering from serious lllnoss. Wo rogret to hoar of tho untimely death of Miss Mary Yeargln, her doath is a calamity to the whole county. In thinking over the dispensary bus iness wo have como to tho conclusion that dispensary liquor makes a man as much of a brute as that of tho old sa loon. Because of the low price of cotton 1 our people are very hard pushed to meet thoir monoy obligations. In talk ing over this matter with a friend tho other day ho advanced tho novel idea of advertising dolinquont debtors. Ho said that he thought this course would eauso the debtors to hustlo about and settl* up. Wo don't adviso this course but tho novolty of tho idea impressed me, and if tho plan is adopted it will benefit the newspapers. Scribe. New Job Type.

Nov. 14-tf SHINNY ON YOU 11 OWN SIDE Say 1 jaurenn Men to Greenwood. The New County Movement bat an Uphill Fight on our Bide of 4'Old saludy." It is seldom that a question of more immediate importance comes before the people of Laurons than that concerning the establishment of tho "Greenwood" county. Th* peoplo living in tho terri tory proposed to bo cutoff from Laurens havo little more at stake in tho matter than thoso who do not but The Ad vertiser boliovcds that thoy desorvo first to bo consultod. In order to ob tain for our readers somo idea of the progross of tho movement in tho Sa luda section of Laurons, The Adver tiser ten days ago mailed the follow ing letter to twenty four ropresentaV tivo citizens whoso rosidencosaro scat tered from Vaughnsvllle to Maddox's Bridge: Laurens, C. U., s. C, f November 7th, 18513. J Dear sir:?The Advertiser do sires to obtain tho expression of the sentiment of loading mon, in regard to tho proposed now county of "Groen wood". You will confer a favor by an swering briofly on this sheet of paper, the quostions bolow. If you object to answering the questions pleuso roturn thorn. Please mall your answers at once. A copy of the paper In which thoy arc printed will bo sent you. A stamped and addressed envelope is en closed for your reply. 1st. Are you in lavor of the cutting off of a part of Laurons county to help form tho now county of "Greenwood"? 2d. Arc the majority of your neigh bors, in your opinion, in favor of it? 3d. If you do or do not favor it, state why. The following replies have been re ceived? Mr. S. H. Goggans, of Vaughnsville, answors: 1st. I am not. 2d. The majority signed the petition. 3d. Becauso Laurons is small enough as she now stands. Because it would cause groat inconvenience in the re cords and land doeds. While Green wood is a littlo nearer, Laurens is easier to got to, having no rivers or crooks to contend with. It will in cur more taxos. Mr. P. A. Austin, of Cross Hill: 1st. No. 2d. I think not. 3d. I do not favor it because in my opinion taxes will necessarily bo highor and also becauso it is more convenient to go from this place to Laurons than it would bo to Greenwood, there be ing better roads and no river to cross. Ex-County Commissioner, B. Good man, of Cross Hill: 1st. We aro not. 2d. They are not. 3d. From tho fact that we havo al ways lived in Laurens and don't want to be taken from old friends that wo would have to leave. I have a petition in my possession that many old and re liable citizens have signed: some had signed the other, but have since signed mine and say they are sorry they sign ed theothor. I am also opposed to any more taxes. Laurons County has al ready benoiltted Greenwood by a Hail road Tax. Mr. W. P. Turner, of Cross Hill: 1st. Yes. 2d. Yes. 3d. Mr. David Burnside. of Cross Hill: 1st. No. 2d. Do not know. A good many have havo signed the pet ition for it. * Some of them, on reflection, have regretted signing it. 3d. 1 like Laurens County. In popu lation Laurens County stands lGth on the list: That is to say, there are 15 counties in South Carolina with a lar ger population than ours. Have not sufficient data at hand just now to say where it stands in regard to area, but know that she is one of the small coun ties. So that she has neither popula tion nor area to spare. The expenses ?true, the town of Greenwood proposes to build the Court House, .'Jail, etc., but only the town of Greenwood, as I re member it?no one endorses the prom ise. And even if it had been endorsed by good men, there are no specifica tions as to buildings. Temporary af fairs might be put up, which would carry out the promise, and in a few years we would bo called on to build better ones. Bosldcs there would be a groat deal of expense outside of those buildings. Last, but not least, the river. Much can be said in favor of small counties. Hence many of them have been made by taking some from one county and some from another. But of all counties thus formed, it would be safe to say there is not ono where a fractional part (as small a part as it is proposed to take from Laurens) is cut off from the remainder of tho counties by as large a stream as the Saluda. Surely not one when a major ity of the inhabitants thus cutoff were in favor of it. Some think that if we were-cut off from Laurens County we would be rolioved of tho Railroad Tax. lx\o not think that will hold. If so it would bo an injustice to the remainder of the county. And we should bo just, always and ovorywhore. Hon. D. W. Anderson, ex-member of tho House of Representatives, of Waterloo: 1st. 2d. Thoy aro not. I think it would bo safe to say that four-fifths of them are opposed to it. 3d. Mr. F. B. Wilcut, of Waterloo: 1st. No. 2d. Emphatically no. 3d. I do not, Laurens County is small enough as It is. Saluda Rivor Is, and should be tho natural lino. No bridges but but ono bolow junction of Reody and Saluda Rivers to Nowborry line. Greenwood County as linos aro to bo run, would cause more bridges on Sa luda, which would be expensive. In fact too much taxation anyway?times too hard, money scarce, cotton' too low, too much cusscdnoss going on anyhow. Mr. T. B. Anderson, of Waterloo: 1st. No. 2d. No. 3d. Laurons County has no land to snare, her area being but little more than tho minimum prescribed by law. We have a natural boundry in Sa luda Rivor which will provont disputes as to boundary lines much better ban any other that might be established. New county linos would necessarily divido tho lands of partios living near tho boundry, forcing thorn to own lands in both counties, thoroby en tailing unnecessary burdens upon said parties, in rocording papors, attending courts, paying taxes, otc. Tho pro posed, line will cat off a narrow strip of Laurens Countys' best land lying on Saluda and Reedy Rivers. Tho abovo aro somo of tho objections against tho proposed formation of the new county of Grconwood. Ex-County Commissioner, A. W. Sims, of Tip Top: l 1st. No. 2d. No. 3d. I opposo tho now county because in my opinion It would eauso our tax to bo a great doal highor and it would throw tho Saluda rivor between this part of tho county and the coun ty seat. Mr. Samuel D. Puekctt. of Tip Top: 1st. I am. 2d. Thoy are. 3d. I am in favor of it becauso it is nearer and a bottor road. Dr. Jno. B. Watts, of Cross Hill: 1st. Yes. 2d. Yob, judging from tho number Sho signed tho petition for the now ounty. 3d, Becauso it would bo moro eonvo niont for mo, now that I am growing old and lazy. Mr. W. T. Smith, of Tip Top: 1st. I uiii not in favor of it. 2d. I think not. Some aro, but the majority are not. 3d. I do not object to Greenwood having a new county, but I am hot in favor of them taking a portion of Lau rens county to help make tho now county. Mr. W. Austin Anderson, Tip Top: lBt. No. 2d. No. 3d. First, because it will bo of no benefit to the part affected. Second, it will add extra tax to tho part affected j I and wo are already burdoncd with taxes I am for Lauren? first last and all tho time. Mr. Wm, J. Anderson, of Tip Top: 1st. No. 2d. No, over three-fourths of tho mon In this section uro opposed to be ing cut off in the new county and two thirds aro land owners who signed u petition against it. 3d. I opposo it because I think the taxes are nigh enough and know the now county will increase them a groat deal moro, 2. It will leave this fork section hemmed in botween Saluda river and Laurcus county. 3. I am identified with Laurons county and Its people and wish to remain so. I havo jnst canvassed this section and seen noaryl every man In it and know that they are opposed to It for thoy have signed a petition against it. I have a potition in my hands now with throe fourths of the names on it in- tho fork up to the line. Dr. John R. Smith, of Mt. Gallagher: 1st. No. 2d. No, havo only heard of one per son being in favor of it. 3d. First, I do not think it the proper time for entailing upon Sie taxpayers the expenses of tho new county, for the fact of tho "hard times" now upon us. Second, it will cause thoso of us living in the upper portion of "the Fork" to go two or throe-miles further in order to reach their Court House. Third. I am satisfied with Laurons, her peoplo und her lands, besides I wish to remain among a people whom I have known from my infancy. Tho above are a few reasons why I will not endorse the new county scheme, thoy may not be of any force so far as Influencing others but are sufflcleut to guido mo in action. P. S.?-1 have learned since writing the abovo that tho lino as surveyed, will just leave me in old Laurons. Mr. J. R. Owings, Owingsville: 1st. I am not in favor of it. 2d. It is my opinion that the major ity oppose it. '.'Id. I see that there are efforts being put forward to take a portion of our territory to form a new county. I do not think it largo enough to spare Green wood. Again when we condsidor for a moment the county site would be at too groat a distance. If the majority of the county oppose it immediate steps should betaken to counteract the ef forts to cut it off. l^otice.
