VOLUME Ll.
With tho now year Tun KKOWI:K Cor
ii i K it ontorod upon its llfly-flrst year,
With tho beginning of tho last year of
the old century Tun. Conni KU rounds up
a full half century of its existence, lt
has long since passed beyond the experi
mental stage and demonstrated ils inher
ent strength as "tho survival of tile lit
tost." Tho record made by Tin: Coi lill: li
in tho past bas been one of great honor
and usefulness. Wo feel justly proud of
it, and inspired by a recollection of Hu
past, we press forward to malu- the last
year of tho century in which the paper
saw its birth the very best in ils history
thus far.
Wo feel no hesitation in saying thal
TllK COUKIKU never was better equipped
in every respect for the publication of a
lirst-elass weekly newspaper than at
present. io expense or pains are spared
in gathorii.g and giving our readers the
nows, and all the news.
Wo desire to thank a generous publie
for liberal patronage in the past, and to
solioit a continuance of it for thc future.
A newspaper and its editor arc not li
ing moro than pub)ii servants, and dur
lng the coming year let the elVorl of one
and all be, "Who can best serve and bcsl
agroo."
THIS YEAR'S COUNTY TAX LEVY.
Last year's tax levy for Oconcc county
was,") mills, as authorized by thc (loue
rai Assembly, bu, the County Cominis
s i ou ors raised tho levy to mills. We
think tho action of the County Commis
sioners illegal, and the small taxpayers
were put at a disadvantage for the rea
son that they could not litigate thc extra
tax without far more expense I han it
would take to pay tho tax.
Last year the Legislature authorized a
lovy for ordinary county pm poses ol' L'l
mills, court expenses t mill, roads I mill.
p.iBt indebtedness ti mill-a total of :,
mi UH. Hut the County Commissioners
raised the road levy ' mill, making the
total 54 mills.
Tho Legislature last year changed I In
law which permit led the levy for road
purposes, so that this year every person
liable to road duty must work instead of
pay tax. Still the County Commission
ers ask for thc same tax this year as was i
loviod last year.
Wo do not think the request should be
granted. They should not be allowed to
abolish the special lax for jurors and
witnesses. When persons arc forced, ?il
considerable expenso, to attend court,'
there should bo no doubt about then
small fees being ?.aid promptly.
Why do the commissioners wish to
abolish this special tax-.' The only rea- ',
son that can bo given is toallow them
the direction of this fund as they may ?
desire, without any statutory restraint.
They evidently wish to hold it for the
payment of jurors and witnesses or spend
it otherwise, as they may sec li:. We do
not think this discretion should be lodged j
in thc board. The custom of holding i
funds separately has worked so well and
equitably that it should bc continued.
Again, during the liscal year 1M>S we :
had a levy of only h mills for ordinary
county purposes, and it lacked only some
five or six hundred dollars of paying' all ?
expenses, while during t he year I SW a levy 1
of '^5 ailis was made for ordinary county
purposes, and slill wc arc asked fora half
mill for past indebtedness. Wh\-.' li
might bo said it. was for indebtedness ol
prior years. This is not the ease. Tho
1J mills levied t his yeal foi past indeiil ed
ness more than pays all thal was behind
when Hie present administration look
eli a ige.
And why should il lake .". I mills this j
year'.' lt. took thal amount bist seat. 1
when theie was one mill for roads, which
we do not have this year. The lax lev)
should decrease as the assessment in
creases; but this is not I he ease, foi both
aro constantly on the int reuse.
Kor years and years the levy for ord i
nary county purposes has not bren i.?
than:.} mills, and seldom that much. We
would ask why ? mills this year for mill
nary county purposes'.' Ki ve mills is
entirely too much, and Hie people should
demand that it. bc reduced. The lev)
should .'dsn he divided as heretofore, and
the hoard required lo hold the funds
separately for di lloren! speedie purp >ses.

A HORROR IN FICKE'IS.
Rev. Mr. Allaway Died a Raving Maniac
Thirsty For Blood.
Tho ('loenville Nows of January 7
say?: Coroner Jones, of Pickons county,
who WAJ h?rC y os io rd ny, ?.wo an account
of tho sad and tragic doath of tho Kov.
A McSwain Attaway, a prominent
young Methodist minister, who is a
brother to tho Hov. Mr. Attaway, of
Traveler's l'est, and son of tho Kev.
John Attaway, of Williatnston. His
doath occurred at his homo, six miles
west of Dickens, on Thursday, and was
caused by heart failure superinduced by
a violent attack of insanity. It is
thought that ho lost his mind by reason
of the death about ton days ago of a son.
Mrs. Attaway is now also insano and is
being guarded. Both havo hoon treated
in thu Stale hospital for the insane.
Mr. Attaway's death was attended by
harrowing circumstances. First ho went
into tho yard anil killed his favorite
dog by cutting its head olT with an axe.
Next ho killed a hog in tho sanie way.
Then he went into tho house and lay
down. Suddenly ho was seized with a
spasm and jumped out of lied and began
lo destroy the furniture. Then ho
sei/.ed his wife's clothing near her neck
between his teeth. In her terror sho
told her daughter to kill him. The
da:.fitter had a carving knife in hand.
"(lol him oil !" tho mother screamed
lo thc chihl, frantic will: fright. "Cut
bis throat willi tho knife: il is necessary
if you don't lie will kill mo and all of
you."
"Oh no, munmin," replied the daugh
ter, exhibiting remarkable courage and
presence ol' mind: "thal needn't lie
done. I'll just cut Ibo piece of dress
loose he has in his mouth."
This was done and immediately the
Minoring niau fell and died.
Mrs. Attaway became violently in
sane in a short lime. The coroner
thought best, in the circumstances, to
hohl an impicst. A verdict of death
from natural cause was rendered..
Said She Clicked Him to Death.
The Anderson Daily Mail of January 7
says: There seems to bc sad circum
stances thal cluster around tho recent
sudden deal li of Hov. McSwain Attaway
in l'ickcns on the sib instant.
Ile died at o'chuk in the morning
and it is said that no one except his wife
was in (he room al the tillie.
Il is known thal Mr. Allaway and his
wife were inmates of (he asylum several
years tigo, bul they did not remain long
and it was thought that a permanent
cure had loen affected. Mrs. Allaway
now makes thc statement, so il is said,
that she choked her husbnml lo death,
l'licnds think she is unbalanced men
tally. A coroner's inquest was held over
the body of Mr. Attaway on account of
th" self-accusal ion of his wife. The
veidicl was that "McSwain Attaway
came t<> his death from heart failure,
caused l r.un a lit."
Mr. Allaway was .subject to lits and on
the night of his death il is said a bitter
(?nariel took place bet ween Hie minister
and his wife. At thc coroner's inquest
no evidence was brought out to show
that any violence had been used. Mr.
Allaway was a member of Hie Metho
dist conference and is connected with
one ol' the bes! families in the county.
lt has been demonstrated repeatedly in
every State in the I nion and in many
foreign countries thal Chamberlain's
Cough ({citiedy isa certain preventive
and cure tor croup, lt has become the
universal remedy for thal disease. M.
V. I'ishei. ol' Liberty, Yv*. Va., only re
peats what has been said around Hie
globe when he writes: "I have used
Chamberlain's Cough Kenicdy in my
family for several years and always with

it is a sure cure for croup, lt luis saved

lt is sui'-ested that instead ol' having

STATE ??S.?.W?N'S ANNUAL RfcPOR?. .
Valuable Facts and Figures-South Carolina's I
Part In tho War Botwoon ino Statos.
Tho annual report of tho State histo
rian, Col John P. Thomas, has hoon com
pleted and placed in um hands Ol' (Gov
ernor McSweonoy for transmission to tho 1
I,og isla turo. It is a valuable historical
document, full of information collected
during tho years that have Intervened
since the surrender at Appomattox, ami
which is now accessible in condensed
form for tho first timo. Col. Thomas
has labored faithfully during the past
yoar without compensai ion to comploto
tho records and put them into shape, so
that tho futuro historians will have facts
and figures furnished hy tho survivors
themselves for their guidance and in
struction. Ho has prosecuted this work
on lila own responsibility "as a volun
tary contribution to the Confederate his
tory of tho Stato, and especially to the
causo of tho rank and filo of a noblo sol
diery." The result of his year's labors
will appear in tho annual report, and we
givo herewith tho concluding statements,
which aro replete with i. 'orest:
Tho otllcial records in inc ollico of tho
Stato Historian of Confedorato Records
show that South Carolina put in tho
armies of tho Confedorato Statos .'l l regi
monta and foin battalions of infantry
mi companios, seven regiments, one
squadron and ono company ol ealvary
T.\ companies; and three regiments, two
battalions and ID unattached batteries of
artillory-55 companys--tho tabulation
of tho rolls, including the field and stall",
regimental and battallion, giving tho fol
lowing result:
Enrolled. Effective
Infantry...,.44,328 518,311
Cavalry . !),0<i7 8,014
Artillery. 8,21!! 7,031
Total.01,008 f>3,00;?
In addition, tho oflicial records show
HO companies of .Stato troops or reserves,
with an enrollment, including field and
staff, of -f,011 enrolled, or 4,041 total
effective-which is known to tie far below
tho actual ligures, since t?tere were
organized at least 12 regiments of re
serves in addition to other State troops,
It thus appears, from the figures of the
rolls in tho Stato Historian's custody and
duly filed, that South ('andina furnished
for Confederate service 01,008 ofllcort* and
men total enrolled, or *>:'.,00? total effec
tive, and for State service 4,014 oillccrs
and mon total enrolled, or 4,041 total
off cot? ve.
Making now tho moderate estimate,
and tho estimate that thc truth of his
tory warrants, that "> per cent, of Con
federate and ii") per cent, of Stato troops
aro not carried on the rolls, it further
appears that South Carolina gave to the
Southern Confederacy a total of 71,08.5
olliccrs and men enrolled, or 02,8.18 effec
tive, as follows:
Enrolled. Effective.
Infantry. 40,.*>44 40,2211
Cavalry.?,?2(1 8,414
Artillery.8,830 8.018
Total.04,003 00,001
State troops enrolled I?, ISO, or effective
0,177 aggregating, tis above stated, 71,os:!
officers and men on rolled, or 02,838 effec
tive.
The magnificent way and the rare
unanimity with which South Carolina
stood by ber colors and redeemed the
plodgo of 1 silo of life ami honor is bes!
illustrated by tho simple fact that tho
voting population of the Slate was but
00,000 in 1800.
Hut this does not limit the contribu
tion of tho State. Entitled to equal
honor with tho officers and men of the
lino are those self-sacrificing and skillful
mon who composed the engineer corps,
the medical stall and the band of chap
laius, as well as the quartermaster and
commissary departments.
Nor should we overlook the services of
the signal corps; tho "Captains Coura
geous" of the blockade runners, and the
Olliccrs and men that South Carolina gave
to tho iron-cladsin thc harbor of Charles
ton and to Confederate States Navy, tho
heroism of which is a mat 1er of history.
In reviewing further tho contribution
of this State tho cause of secession and
State rights, must he taken in account
the military skill of the general ofilcors
from South Carolina in the Confederate
armies, of whom appointed from South
Carolina or from other Sta'.es, tho records
show live lieutenant generals, six major
generals, besides a long array of briga
dier generala, colonels and majors. Of
other commissioned, non-com m issi oneil
ollicers and privates (anning under this
head there is no record.

Ask your physician this ques
tion, 1 'What is thc. one great
remedy for consumption?"
He will answer, "Cod-liver
oil." Nine out of ten will
answer the same way.
Yet when persons have
consumption they loathe all
fatty foods, yet fat is neces
sary for their recovery and
j they cannot take plain cod
j liver oil. Thc plain oil dis
I turbs the stomach and takes
j away thc appetite. The dis
I agreeable fishy odor and
taste make it almost unen
durable. What is to bc done 7
This question was ans
wered when we first made
EMULSION
of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypo
phosphites. Although that
was nearly twenty-five years
ago, yet it stands alone to
day thc one great remedy
for all affections of the throat
and lungs.
Thc. bad taste, and odor have been
taken away, the. oil itself has been
partly digested, and the. most sen
sitive, stomach objects to it rarely.
Not one in ten can take, and digest
the. plain oil. Nine, out of ten can
take. SCOTT'S EMULSION and di
gest it. That's why it ctn? so
many eases of early consumption,

company rolls, 20 contain no report of
I "died in battle or from wounds''; 13 no
report of "died from disease"; 107 no
roport of "died in prison", and 15 no re
port of "wounded".
As to tho 50 artillery company rolls, 22
contain no roport of "died in battle or
from wounds" ; 25 no report of "died from
diseaso"; 40 "no roport of died in
prison", and 27 no roport of "wounded".
Applying now tho rules of averages to
these Incomplete rolls, it appears that
tho infantry casualties may fairly bo put
at 21,140; the cavalry at 1,7:10, and the
artillery at 1,3011, making a total of 21,215,
classified as follows:

To Binn np: Masing the percentage of
casualties upon tho "tidal enrolled" in
eaidi arm of the service, tho result would
bo : Infantry, 151 per cent: cavalry,
IS-J-lt) per cent; artillery, 15 I lo per
cent.
Making the "total effective" in each
arm of the service the basis of said per
centage, tho result would be: Infantry,
? >'2 7-10 per cont ; cavalry 20 7-10 per cent :
artillery, 17 per cent. That is, the cas
ualties of the infantry in war were more
than one-half of the total olTcclive: of
tho cavalry moro than one-fifth, and of
the artillery more than one-sixth.
Truly a costly sacrillcc, and one freely
made, of the best blood of the common
wealth !
So much, concisely presented, for the
personal sacrifico of South Carolina in
tho Held of arms in 1801-05. Moro elo
quent than words aro the ligures herc
given - ligures based upon records and
the logical inferences deducible there
from.
The patriotism of the contribution and
the pathos of the self-sacrifice make up
the story of tho fame of this common
wealth. And when, further, there aro
added to this military heritage South Ca
rolina's contribution of statesmanship
and the Oddity of her noble woman
hood in tho years of tho war, there is
exhibited a demonstration <>f devotion
to principle in scorn of cons?quence, and
in obedience to duty, that challenges the
world's admiration. The part enacted
by Soutli Carolina in the war between
the. States is her glory and her complete
vindication.
