Six years after his "marriage General
Houston represented Texas in the Unit?
ed States senate. The Sunday morning
after his arrival in Washington he at?
tended religious service in the Baptist
church on K street.
Approaching the pastor, Dr. Samson,
after the service, be said that respect
for bis wife, one of the best Christians
DO earth? had brought him there.
For eight years he was found every
Sunday morning, while in Washington
teated io his pew near the pulpit. One
Sunday, a sermon from the text, "Bet?
ter is 'he that ruleth his spirit than he
:hat taketh a city,7 " aroused him ,to
decide that it was his duty to make a
public profession of his faith. He went
lome, and among his own people de?
clared bis changed purpose and joined
.he little church at Independence, Tex.
And on his return to Washington, an
ncident occurred before bis first com
nunion in the church where he had so
oog attended service, which ls impres?
sively described by Dr. Samson;.

A Murderous Shell.
It is reported from Munich that the
new explosivejwhich has been adopted
for the German artillery, makes a shell
of most murderous effectiveness. The
best shells used dariog the Franco
Prussian war only covered an area,
when exploded, of some forty paces,
and in bursting seldom injured more
than seven or eight persons. Experi?
ments with the cew shell go to show
that it will destroy everything within
an area of 900 feet.
Some of the fragments will be large
enough to kill a man, others almost in?
visible and calculated to merely excori?
ate the sk io. In an experiment an
j enormous target was riddled with thous?
ands of holes by the bursting of a
single shell. Four shells were suffi?
cient to sink an obsolete ironclad used
as a target at Kiel. It is said that one
battery, if ihe range were accurate,
could annihilate a whole division.
Ignorance of the merits of DeWitt's Little
Earl y Risers is a misfortune. These little pills
regulate the liver, cure headache, dyspepsia,
bad ores th, constipation and biliousness. W.

And at the Auditor's office in Sumter
on all other days, from Jan. 1st until
February 20th, inclusive.
The law requires that all persons owning
property, or in any wise having charge of
such property, either as agent, ?busband,
guardian, trustee, executor, administrator,
fee., ret-trra the same under oath to the
Auditor, who requests all persons to be
prompt in making their returns and save the
50 per cent, penalty, which will be added to
the prapef tj valuation of ail persons who
Fail to ra?ke retajos .withia the time pre-,
scribed bv law.
A good way for the taxpayer - who has;
much property to return, is to make a mem?
orandum of .the number of horses, cattle,
muirs, sheep and goats, hogs, watches, ori?
gans and" pianos, buggies wagons and car?
riages, dogs, merchandise, machinery, mon?
eys, notes and ace;-a's (above indebtedness)
furniture, fee., .which will save the taxpayer
time and'eoable the* assessor to progress in
the work.
Taxpayers reurn what they own on the
Erst day of J'anuary, ?S92.
.Assessors and taxpayers will enter the
first gi on me of the taxpayer io full, also
make a separate return for each party for the
township the property is in, and where the
taxpayer owns realty to insert the. postoffice
as their place of residence, and those who
only^ own personal property to give the j
girfc^s&?m? who owns the land they live on
as their residence, which aids the taxpayer as
well as the* c-unty treasurer ia making the
collection and "preventing errors.
Every male citizen between ?i:e ages of
twenty-one and fifty years on the first day of
Jasuary, 1S92, except those incapable of
earning a support from being maimed, or
from other causes, shall be deemed taxable
polls.
All returns that are made after the twen?
tieth day of February next have to be placed
on the additional Hst and fifty per cent, pen?
alty added thereto, unless prevented by sick?
ness or out of the county during the time of
listing. Not knowing the time of listing is
no excuse. And all owners of real estate
might do their tenants who cannot read or
take a newspaper, a great favor by making
their returns or telling them th? time of list?
ing, and that if th?y fail to make their re?
turns in time that the valuation bas to be
increased fifty per cent, unless they have a
good excuse.
The assessing and collecting of taxes is all
done now in the same year, and we have to
aggregate the number and value of all the
horsed, cattle, mules, fee, as well as tbe acres
of land, lots and buildings and their value,
that there is io the county, and have same on
file in tbe Comptroller General's office by the
thirtieth day of Juae each year. And from
that time to the first day of October each
year the auditor's and treasurer's duplicate
has to be completed and an abstract of the
work in the Comptroller's office by that time,
which will show at a glance that the auditor
has no time to take in returns, or do any?
thing else much, between the first day of
March and the first day of October each year,
bot work on the books and blanks. There?
fore hope that nil taxpayers will do us the
favor of making their returns in time.
