He said to us, "Poor people pay their taxes eariy ; rich people wait until the very, last minute. I am here to-day to pay taxes for myself and fourteen of my neighbors, all poor men. Gov. Tillman is right. The time within which taxes may be paid should be fixed by law and not altered. One Kind He Gets. The following is a simple, ver batim, of the letters Treasurer Stevens receives as to paying taxes : December 12,1892. Mr W G Stazon NiNety Six, S.

Are you superstitious about the number thirteen? If so, beware of the new quarter dollars coined this year, for there are ten 13's on one side, as follows: There are thirteen stars, thirteen letters on the scroll in the eagle's beak, thir teen margit.al feathers in each wing, thirteen tail feathers, thir teen parallel lin^s in the shield, thirteen horizontal bars, thirteen arrowheads in one of the eagle's claws, thirteen leaves on the branch in the other claw, and thirteen let ters in the words, quarter dollar.

Turner & Co., Miss Ida Covar, W. E. Lynch, J. M. Cobb, Chat. Cheatham, Hammond & Co., E. J. Norris, W. L. Du novan t, B. Cantelou, L. E. Jackson, M. Brown. A Pleasant Occasion. DEAR ADVERTISER: The mar riage of Mr. John James Bell to Miss Mattie Sue, the youngest daughter of our friends Mr. and Mrs. L. ,P. Covar, on Thursday evening, the 15th inst., was an oc casion of much interest and pleas ure to the friends of the manly groom.and his fair bride. Mr. Bell is a young mechanic of unusual skill-his work on our new Meth odist Church attesting his superior qualifications as an artisan-dili gent in business, of fine moral and Christian character, he is one of our worthiest citizens. The gentle bride is just "sweet sixteen," but possesses many womanly graces. For some time she has been a most efficient typo in the offioe of the ADVERTISE;?, as you know. Doubt, less she will prove a "helpmeet," indeed, to the worthy young man, whom she delights to call "lord," May they be heirs together of the grace of life, May the Divine Christ "With gifts, of graoe their hearts endow, Of all rich dowries best; Their substance bless and peace bestow To sweeten all the rest." A. B.WATSON. Just Iilke A Story. CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec-Four beautiful odalisques, or female slaves, were- recently . presented by the Khedive to the Sultan of Turkey and placed in the imperial harem. The odalisques appear to have had a captivating influence on the Sultan who paid so much attention as to excite the jealousy of the others. The beatiful slaves were found murdered in their beds a few days ago, having fallen victims to poison. The Sultan was deeply enraged and ordered a rigid investigation and severe punish ment of the guilty. Three Eunchs who had access to the appartments of the victims have been arrested on suspicion of having been the persons who actually administered the poison and at the latest ac counts were subjected \to torture in order to compel them to make full confession. The suspicion of having instigated the crime rests Chiefly on one of the concubines, who, until the- odalisques arrived, almost monopolized the Sultan's affections. In the present temper of His Majesty it is doubtful whether even she would escape the bow-string or the . Bosphorus should sufficient proof of her guilt be adduced. No More Politics. WASHINGTON, Dec-George C. Tanner, a confederate soldier and political follower of General Wade Hampton, wrote him and urged him to reconsider his resolution refusing to again enter South Carolina politics. Ho has also outlined certain "plans by which he believed the General could triumph over his enemies. To this letter Mr.' Tanner has received the following reply : Columbia, S. C. Dec. 13th. Dear Tanner:-lam obliged to you for your kind letter which reached me a few days ago. Under no possible circumstances or persuasion would I take any place offered me by South Carolina. I was urged to become a candidate for Gc vernor at the l&st election, but I refused, nor would I accept the position if every man in the state desired me todo so. I have settled my accouts between the state and myself and I am perfectly satisfied with the result. I am rejoiced only to know that the affection of my old soldiers for me remains unshaken in storm as weli as in ' calm. Thanking you for your kind interest. Yours truly WADE HAMPTON. Blows and Curses. Dawn was about to break, cold and gray A belated pedestrian was the first in all probability to hear the sound of sickening blows emanat ing from the rear of the brown stone mansion on the corner. He paused and listened. Presently there mingled with the horrifying noise oaths of a high degree of blasphemousness and seething with passion. The oaths and the blows, it was apparent, had one and the same source. Obviously something dreadful wai being done. ? Several belated pedestrians had now assembled. They looked at each other with blanched faces. * "MurderI" they gasped. The blows fell like rain. The oaths flowed no less oopiously. They could remain transfixed with horror no longer. They burst open the door." "Whacher want?' The woman who turned Upon them like a wild beast held a jag ged club in her hand, and her eyes had a baleful glare in them. Presently they overpowered and disarmed her. "What do you mean?" Her discourse was distinguished by a singular ferocity. Several belaled pedestrians held her while others searched the premieses. After a time the latter returned. Softly they whispered in the ears of thu former. Then they gently released the woman,* who after they were gone, again fell to pounding the steak for breakfast. -Detroit Tribune. Recent curious observations indicate that.our appreciation of food depends largely-if not chiefly-upon the sense of smell. A student 21 years of age had inherited from his mother the defect acquired by her in child hood, of complete absenoeof smell, taste and other sensations being unaffected He could taste no difference between tea, coffee and water, In three trials out of five he confused bitter almond water, but distinguished between either and either and amonia Fruit syrups were simply sweet, with no difference of flavor. Cloves and oiunamon were recognized but mustard and pepper gave only a sharp sensation on the tongue. If we are to have a constitutional eonvention, and it looks very much that way, a great many, of the propositions before the legis lature might well be indefinitely postponed. OIF WENT HIS 1H?AD. Wliile the Vnlgar Herd Laughed With Delight. PARIS. Dec- Eugene Cramtpon the murderer of two men, waB guillotined this morning, and the canaille that gathered^ Bee the execution greatly mjoyed, the spectacle afforded b/the miserable cowardly wretch as he was liter ally carried to the guillotine. At exactly 7 o'clock the prison doors swung inward and the pro cession could be seen approaching. Crampton, who was in an agony of fear, was supported by the wardens and accompanied by a priest, who, as he walked, read the services for the dying. The grim and awful red guillotine loomed up directly ahead of the^little party. It was only a few steps from the prison. After walking a few feet Crampton raised his eyes and saw it. With a terrible shriek he threw himself backwards and feel to the ground All efforts to induce him to. rise was fruitless and he grovelled on the flagstones, begging most piteously for life. To a person of any sensibility, the scene was one of deepest horror, but a crowd of roughs and aban doned women took the keenest delight in witnessing the abject fear and listening to the frantic appeals of the murderer. It became necessary for the executioners assistant to lift Crampton to his feet, but even then he hung.limp in their arms and they were compelled to carry him to the guillotine. While some of the assiattants supported him, others qiuckly bound him and threw him against the bascule. Even then he did not cease his struggles. His contortions were terrible, but they did not last long. The bascule was dropped into place and the assistants shoved it forward until Crampton's neck rested in the lunette. Then "Monsieur Paris" attired, as usual, in the conventional frock coat and silk hat, touched ' the spring holding the knife. Silently and like a streak of light the right blade fell, and Crampton's head dropped in the open basket awaiting it. The execution was the most horrible one that has been witnes sed in Paris in many years.- The crowd, highly pleased with the entertainment the state had afforded them, dispersed, laughing and joking with each other. . Crampton was an old offender against the law. On the night of March 3, last, he, in company with two accomplices, went to the billiard room of a wine shop in the Rue St. Dennis. They broke into an adjoining room and were plundering it whjn the landlady of the place entered and surprised them. The woman gave the alarm and the thieves fled. A number of men followed them and were gain ing upon Crampton when he turn ed and shot two of them dead and wounded a Ihid. His aocom plicesescaped. Jokin&r With Mr. Cleveland. NEW YORK, December 17.-The directors of the Southern Associa ted Press, who have been here for the past two days, made a formal call on President-elect Cleveland at his office in the Liverpool, Lon dou and Globe building to-day. There were in the party the Hon Patrick Walsh,Augusta Chronicle; Evan P. Howell, Atlanta Constitu tion, Major J. C. Hemphill, the Charleston News and JSourier ; Col John Estill, Savannah News; C. C. Stockton Jacksonville Times Union ; Adolph Oohs, Chattanooga Times; Charles 8. Clark, New Orleans Times-Democrat; J. E. MacDaniel. New Orleans agent Southern Associated Press and 0. C. Hatton, Washington agent Southern Associated Press. L. M. Howell introduced the gentlemen and then for twenty minutes Mir. Cleveland and his guests swapped lies about the recent election. They were all of a funny nature and at no time was the political future referred to, nor was any thing said about appoinments from the South. A Pennsylvania mine boss is bragging about a mule whieh was sharp enough to recognize a hoy who had set fire to the stable in which she was. The mule was badly burned, and when she saw the boy she rushed on him and would have ohawed him ^up if he hadn't been rescued from her fury. Up to that time she had been so gentle that the boys oould play jackrocks between her heels. But the mule that wouldn't fire up and chaw a boy under those circumstances isn't much of a mule. The original ordirance of secession of this State from the Union is being restored. The document has become considerably faded and the Secretary of State has employed an expert penman to touch it up with India ink. ' AJN ACROSTIC. Written iii memory of little Gussie Glanton, the sweet and bright little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Glanton, of Augusta, Ga. Her death was simply a pass port to that long home where the blighting dew of death never comes, and where adieus and fare wells are sounds unknown. Gone to ber long home beyond the skies, Unto Him who doethall things well, Send us back a message, Saving a place for us to dwell. In the arms of Jesus, darling, Enrobed in purity sweet, Give your parents blessings, Loved one, until we meet; Another tear we drop, Now on thy cold silent grave; To-morrow we may be with you, O'er head, with angels, saved, Now a long Bweet farewell. MOTHER AND FATHER. BARBARA ALLEN. AN ANCIENT BALLAD. AS SUNG BY ED. PAUL. In Scarlet-town where I was born, Therq was a fair maid d we Hi D', Made every lad cry "Well a day," Her name was Barbara Allen. 'Twas in the.merry month of May, Wuen the flowers were a bloomin'. A young man on his death bed lay? For the love of Barbara Allen. He sent a servant unto her, Away unto her dwellin', "My master's sick and very sick, For the love of Barbara Allen." "If your master's sick and very sick, And death is on'bim dwelim', None the better will ever he be, For the love of Barbara Allen." So slow she got up from ber work, So slow she went unto bim, That when she drew the curtain by, "Young man I think you're dying." j "Yes, I am sick and very sick, And death is e'er me stealin', And none the better will ever I be Without the love of Barbara Allen." "You ng man remember the other day. When ocr town was drinking, You drank the health of the ladis? all around, But slighted Barbara Allen.** He turned his pale face to the wal), He turnedjbis back unto her, "Adieu to one, adieu to all, But woe to Barbara Allen." She scarce had got one mile from town, When a death bell struck her, And as it ringed it seemed to sing, "Hard-hearted Barbara Allen." "0 ! mother make my death bed now, 0 ! make it soft and narrow. Sweet William died for me to-day, I'll die for him to-morrow. They buried sweet William in one deep grave, And Barbara in another, Out of her grave a red rose sprung, And out of his a briar. They grew and they grew to the top of the church, And they could not grow any higher, And there they met in a true love knot The rose ?round the briar, Et?fff?fffffffffffffff< IA NEW WHEEL!
