While the up country has been over
flowed and suffered greatly from the heavy
and continued rains, onr spring Ims been
Warm and comparatively dry. Farming
operations have not been disturbed by the
weatheg, gtul the consequence is onr plan
ters are far in advance with their work
compared with other seasons. Cane will
soon be worked the first time, and cotton
will soon all be in the ground. On
Wednesday we had a fine ruin, the
first season we have had for transplanting
for more than a month. We have had
fruits enbugh rain for the present and
with the warp sunshine everything is grow
ing rapidly. If the season continues good
our farmers will have corn to give away in
the fall, tell all the famine stricken peo
ple to come to Egypt and got corn.
The Tax llt'ccivrr’* Votlcc.
Mr. Thomas J. Hardee is advertising by
hand bills that he will, at stated times, be
at the several Districts to receive the taxa
ble property of the county. He notifies
the public that he is now by law required
to exhibit his tax book to the Grand Jury
at the Fall Term of the Superior Court, so
that said Grand Jury may determine
whether the tax payers have placed a prop
er valuation upon theiir property or not.
This is a good law and w ill cause men
through fear of detection {if from no other
cause) to render a just account of their ef
fects. Let it be further understood that
every person giving in laml will la- requir
ed to give the exact number, and the Dis
trict in which it lies. Wo suggest to tax
payers that every mail ow ning a lot or lots
of land that lie com, fully prepared to ren
der just an account as is required and
which will prevent great annoyance and
trouble iii the future.

A NARRATIVE OF MILITARY OPERATIONS
DIRECTED BY GEN. JOSEPH E, JOHNSTON
DURING THE LATE WAR.
This book, written by General Johnston,
is now offered to the public, and will j
doubtless prove one of the unwt thrillingly
interesting works ever offered to the •
Southern public, and particularly to the
Southern soldiers that was under his com
mand. Though concisely written, it cm- j
braces every material fact in regard to his !
operations. To his soldier hoys it. will
awaken many Rad as well as pleasing
reminiscences. It w ill turn back the pages
of memory and present vividly to the
recollection the many battlefields, the
many comrades and co-sufferers that fell
and is no more; the many hard conflicts,
the weary marches through rain and
shine, cold ami heat; and the croakers
behind the army and out of danger should 1
carefully read his truthful statement, and
in it behold the imbecility of their criti
cisms anil their wanton and unjustifiable
persecutions of this great cotnmuuder.
This book is now offered by Mr. O. T.
Terry, our townsman and fellow citizen, j
the agent for the publishers, who will sell
it, at publishers prices.
\Ve take pleasure iu recommending it to
our readers as a correct history of the war,

author. It will prove an interesting and
valuable history and one that will sell
rapidly. Call at once und see. Air. Terry,

A Government Ballot-Box Stuffing Opera
ticn And the Cost of It:
The Sun say* the-New Hampshire elec
tion having passed, nearly one Urdu sand
w orkmen have been discharged ffolii the
Portsmouth navy yard, some of whom had
drawn pay for three months and some for
only two or three weeks. Many of thesi
men, who had been set to work iu order to
secure their votes, had been promised that
their pay should continue at least unt 1
■May, and it was diffiiouit to convince them
th: t lhoy were to be turned adiift. ( f
course these men, having sold their VQtes
for place, received little sympathy; but the
action ol (lie Navy Department in ordering
their discharge so soimafter the election,
confirms the assertions made before the
o eitbu, tl op the extraordinary
force of incompetent workmen put on the
pay rolls be ween January an 1 March Wis
re rioted simply for the ) u.aioso of carry l
ing New Haniwshiro for the Administra
tion party. The design failed of execu
tion. but it is estimated that ft needless ex
penditure of at least 200,000 lpus been in
curred in the corrupt transaction, which is
nil the mure infamous in view of the fact
that there is a law of the United States
which provides that auy officer tr person
in 1 lie service of the United States who
a lull O’ dcr or advise, directly or indirectly,
by force, threat, menace, or intimidation,
any interference with the full exercise of
the right of suffrage, or interfere in any
manner w itfi auy election', shall be liable to
a fine of not more th in Sb.lHKGnul mipria

the face of tliit law the workmen in the
Portiam uth Navy Yard were driven up to
t;c polls m gangs under the supervision

t i vote as they were directed for fear of
being discharged. Having so voted, they

without ceremony, pulled him into the
shop, and began pulling up his flue ready

made little resistance, but asked the man
if lie was in niter of the place.
“No, sir,” said the barker, “but I will
bring him immediately.”
The man returned with his master, to
whom he put the same question:
“Are you the master of this shop, sir ?”
“Yes sir; what can I do for you V”
“Only,” he replied, “just hold your
