Last year's tax levy for Oconcc county mills, as authorized by thc (louerai Assembly, bu, the County Cominiss i ou ors raised tho levy to mills. We think tho action of the County Commissioners illegal, and the small taxpayers were put at a disadvantage for the reason 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 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 Inlaw 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 Commissioners 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, considerable expenso, to attend there should bo no doubt about then small fees being promptly.

Why do the commissioners wish to abolish this special 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 We do not think this discretion should be lodged 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 we had a levy of only mills for ordinary county purposes, and it lacked only some five or six hundred dollars of paying' all expenses, while during he year I SW a levy 1 of ailis was made for ordinary county purposes, and slill wc arc asked fora half mill for past indebtedness. li might bo said it.

was for indebtedness ol prior years. This is not the ease. Tho 1J mills levied 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 lt. took thal amount bist seat.

Kor years and years the levy for ord i nary county purposes has not bren mills, and seldom that much. We would ask why mills this year for mill nary county Ki ve mills is entirely too much, and Hie people should demand that it. bc reduced.

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 his wife's clothing near her neck between his teeth. In her terror sho told her daughter to kill him. The 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 daughter, 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 insane in a short lime. The coroner thought best, in the circumstances, to hohl an impicst. A verdict of death from natural cause was Said She Clicked Him to Death.

The Anderson Daily Mail of January 7 says: There seems to bc sad circumstances 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 mentally. 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 his death from heart failure, caused r.un a lit." Mr.

Allaway was to lits and on the night of his death il is said a bitter 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 Methodist 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 isa certain preventive and cure tor croup, lt has become the universal remedy for thal disease.

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 instruction. Ho has prosecuted this work on lila own responsibility "as a voluntary contribution to the Confederate history of tho Stato, and especially to the causo of tho rank and filo of a noblo soldiery." 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 regimonta and foin battalions of infantrymi companios, seven regiments, one squadron and ono company ol companies; and three regiments, two battalions and ID unattached batteries of artillory-55 companys--tho tabulation of tho rolls, including the field and regimental and battallion, giving tho following result: Enrolled.

Effective 518,311 Cavalry 8,014 Artillery. 7,031 Total.01,008 In addition, tho oflicial records show HO companies of troops or reserves, with an enrollment, including field and staff, of enrolled, or 4,041 total effective-which is known to tie far below tho actual ligures, since were organized at least 12 regiments of reserves 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 and men total enrolled, or total effective, 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 history warrants, that per cent, of Confederate and 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 effective, as follows: Enrolled. Effective. Infantry.

40,2211 8,414 Artillery.8,830 8.018 Total.04,003 00,001 State troops enrolled ISO, or effective 0,177 aggregating, tis above stated, officers and men on rolled, or 02,838 effective. 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 contribution 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 Courageous" of the blockade runners, and the Olliccrs and men that South Carolina gave to tho iron-cladsin thc harbor of Charleston 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 tho records show live lieutenant generals, six major generals, besides a long array of brigadier generala, colonels and majors. Of other commissioned, non-com issi oneil ollicers and privates (anning under this head there is no record.
