I Comptroller General Norton hat sent the followiug circular letter tc the Beveral sheriff's in this State : "The attention of this department has been directed to the fact that sheriffs have paid State, county and Bcdool taxes, collected under tax executions to other thun the county treasurer. When the sheriff' receives tax executions of tlio county treasurer, ho gives his receipt therefor and should pay the money?State, couutv and school?collected from tax executions to no other party or parties than tho treasurer of his own county. Even if tho comptroller general, vested with his authority under tho law, should demand the money or executions, you have no right to pay the money or lieliver tho executions to him, but to tho treasurer of your county only." The comptroller general lias sent tho following circular letter to the county treasurers in the State: "Your attention is directed to tho fact that tho Constitution prohibits any voter from voting who has not ruiiil flin twill itiv mill a.fliair inTou nri.l iu , !

Notwithstanding these simple facts, however, it is your iluty to proceed under section ?>, supply act of 18D-I, to make the proper affidavit of all eases of delinquent polls aud turn such affidavit over to it magistrate, taking liis receipt for the same. These magistrates should be held to a striet account for all the affidavits placed iu their bauds aud required to settle promptly aud without unnecessary delay. All tines collected under these proceedings should be placed to tho credit of the school fund, as provided in section 6, supply act, 1891. We wish to impress on the minds of the treasurers that all moneys paid into their hands can be drawn out only on tho warrant of the proper authorities or paid to the State treasurer as provided by law. "Our attention has been called to an instance where a county trcnsur* r |<ni<l moneys to an agent of the sinking fund commission. This is in violation of law, and treasurers will Ue luhl strictly accountable for such illegal disposition of State, county or school funds. For all State taxes the State treasurer's receipt is the only j roper voucher. For all county taxes the warrant of the county commissioners, and for all school taxes the warrant of the school commissioner, xcept where specially provided that it must be paid on the warrant of the trustees."

I'itts[burg Dispatch. BILL ARP'S LETTER. 1IE NARRATES THE ROUGH EXPER1ENCES OF WAR. Describes So mo Scones of tbo "I^ato 1'uplrusantues*." One pleasant morning we worn talking about war?war with Euglaud.war with Spain?ami an is usual with ohl soldiers, our conversation drifted back to our lato civil war. Wo call it late, 1 reckon, because it is the lust war wo had, bat it is not no very late. Almost everybody down south who was engaged in it is dead. A generation dies out in thirty years and it has been thirty-five years sinee that war bei?uu. Hut there are a few of us left and we were talking al>ont the war like we used to talk around the camp lires.aud I was asked what scone or bat tin or event had left its most vivid impression upon my mind and memory. I know very well, but I can go back to scones aud events that have lasted longer and been more personal. I remember wheal had a light at camp meet iug on Sunday ami got whipped l?y a country boy ami my Sandfly clothes wero nil torn ami muddied and mv father whipped me that night and the teacher got. ready to whip nie the next morning and 1 showed him tie- red whelps on my legs and ho let m off with a Calvinistk* lecture on the sin of breaking the Sabbath day. | Well, the way of it was, I had got up on the hub of a watt rn.t ion wagon to look at the tempting fruit and the country boy pulled my foot < lV so as to get my place and I bounced hire, but he was bigger and stronger :>m! had country boys to sick him on ami they didn't like my rr. 11! d town *-hirt nud ho got me <1 wa and nobody wouhlu't part us and I got the wm d of it and my Sunday clothes wt re all soiled and my face scratched and I had uo friends and it grieved me for a month that I had been imposed o:i and whipped besides. I wntclud f ?r that boy to come to town and at last he did come. 1 spied him on tic other side of the square and i got tleorge Lester to back me uud I everlustinciy licked him nud my father never knew anything about it,but I told my moth er that 1 had licked Tom Touutain and she hugged me and kisst d mo and t me that it was wrong t > tight, hut somehow or other I knew t he was glad that I had whipped him. I rctm mo r yet how the big tears came in my niotln r's eyes when she pulled up my , pauts nud saw the marks on my 1?-js | that my fath- r had male and 1 laid | my head in n< r i ip and crii d. Well, you sv t. that was a war?a i irr per war than 1 c\\ ? f, uud aft- rv. trdand has left a d.tpcr itupr.ssii n. But about tin* i:?t 1 war I raid thai the most vivid and lasting iu.pr. s-ion | on my uiiad was tLo midnight scene ? ? j our army crossing tl'.o Shenandoah by j torchlight, win.a wv were going in>ni ! Winchester to ligut the tirst battle ol I Maua sap. I stood on the bank nud ! saw 17,000 men ford that river. Tim I water was about breast deep to most of tbo soldiers and tiny held their guns and cartridges up high nr.d it strained the liule fellows like MeO-ker and Jim Smith and Zach Hurgr. ve powerfully to keep their footing and the water out of their months and not wet. their prnmiv iti n. it w-?s the , 17th day of July, 1 Si;',and next nn ruing the boys ull laid down on the hillside near Paris and went to sleep in their wet clothes and by uo.m r?-ur.md ! the march to Mauiu as. They had ' had a good wetting, li not a pood washing. The army left Winch. '[ just at twilight. Xot a drum v. ?s j heard ?not a camp lire put out ?not ' an alarm <?f any sort. "They foldt d | their tents like the Arabs and silently : stole away." The enemy was lott at j Martinsburg preparing for tomorrow's j battle niul they never knew wi ?n we 1 were until after the battle of Mn:ia>-i\s j had been fought, and won. It w\i old 1 Joe Jeho^ton's first nudtarv strai. gy.

A ihell had torn it away and left a cicun cut, and the blood from hie nock veins and arterioa was still oozing down on his clothes. I believe that the battle of Malvern Uill was the worst on our boys of any that occurred during the war. It was a pity that we fought it, for McClollan was already badly whipped, and we couldn't do auy more." "It was not long after that,*' said another, "when I saw the inost siekeniug Bight that my ?yes witnessed during the war. You remember that Joe Johnston was wounded at the battlo of Seven L'iues or at Fair Oaks, as the yankees called it. Well, the dead were buried very hastily, ami in sbal lower trenches than I ever saw. It hud been raining for some time and the water rose in the trenches before we could get them two feet deep aud wo hail to tumble the bojw iu anyhow, i About a month after thy onr wagon trains had to cross thutpiold, not iu one road, but iu a doze* ami everywhere wo crossed those trenches the pressure of the wheels wadd force tip a leg or an arm or a haul, and vmi could see Rcorcs of tliemltickiug out i after wo had passed. It As an awful bight." "Well, T don't Know vint was the , most impressive thing," sAl another. "The seeno in a field hobfial after a | battle was about us bad us Ly thing. I j shall never forget tho nighlsccno un- ! der the willows after the tii : battle of j Mauassas, when I^r. Mil r was iu t charge and worked on th wounded I boys all night long.

It seemed strange to me to pay admission and attend this performance of n wild west order (excepting of course, the chariot races: oil a Sunday afternoon. l>ut it was for the benefit of th" wounded in Africa. , A thousand more soldiers left here for Africa, to recruit the ranks of the wounded. They departed amidst the bursts of martial music and great enthusiasm. 1 * 111 the sensitive ear detected many minor uotts.

Tillman's Proposed Bolt Hon M. L. Donaldson, of Greenville, is tlio member from this State of -he National Democratic Executive Committee. Mr. Donaldson has given lis views in regard to Irby's position, is stated in liiu noli (<?r . vMaa iv* w JJUWUilg V* bo St:ite Democratic Executive Comuittoe. Ilia views are about as follows: "I think Chairman Irby's exposition >f the principles of Democracy entirely orrect. It is a cardinal principle of be Democracy of this State that tho uajority shall rule. That principle las boon peculiury emphasized for the iast two years in our Stuto politics, t would, therefore, be extremely inousistent and absurd for a delegation 0 be sent to tho National Democratic 'ouventiou 'prepared to bolt if need >e,' or in other words if things should ot go according to 'our way of thinkig.' I am and have always been an dvocate of free silver or a 'silverite,' s we are called, and I believe that s irge majority of the people in South aroliua are for free silver, but hnortaut as we lulieve it to be that such plank should be in our Nutional platirm, I do not for a moment believe lat a Convention oi' South Carolina emoerats will instruct its delegates > the National Convention to bolt, if lev should fail to realize their wishes 1 even that particular." Mr. Donaldson was also asked hether ha anticipated a contest in ir State Convention over tho issue as > wui ut meueicgutcs to Chicago shall i iustructed to bolt under certain eirimstauces, ok proponed bv Senator illman in his recent letter to the ev. It. H. lleid, and he replied as folws: "Whether or not there is a contest er it, I am free to say that tho lines ould be strictly drawn and the matr delinitely settled in our State Coiintion beforehand; that the delegates eeted should bo simon-pure Demoats, not conditional ones, iustructed work with all their might for free Iver in the platform and for a free ver candidate for the Presidency, it like all good Democrats to stand ' the action of the Convention. It > are not willing to pursue tliir urse, and in a spirit of amity uud rness 'give and take' with our other Democrats from the other fites, then we should not go as Demrats at all. It would be much more inly and honorable, if we will not ree to abide the action of the Conution on the liuuncial or any other ue, to go at oueo to tho Populists, camp out. "It is evident that we are uearing o ?at crisis in our party and nutioual itory, a crisis that will try men a? tc at sort of stuff they arc made of. r people are not ready to make sliiprck of their political faith, and South rolina will retain its time-honored ce in the National Democracy." -4*? lONl'MKNT TO (2KX.
