TITJE GAZETTE. _. . i —! . . Wednesday, August 11, 1875. Andrew Johnson. The death of Andrew Johnson, which we had only time to announce last week, consigned to the tomb the last* of our ex-Presidents. We have never considered Mr. John son a great man, though his life is wor thy of emulation by the youth of the country. Left by the death of his father at the age of five years the future sup port and stay of the fatuity, his opportu nities for obtaining an education -were entirety cut off, and he grew to manhood without learning to read or write. Early after reaching maturity he married in Greenville, Tennessee, where his life realty had its commencement. His wife taught in* to read and write, and from this his slumbering ambition seemed to awaken to the passibilities of the future. The most of his book-learning was ac quired at night, a ter the labors of the day were over, which gradually advanced from the rudiments of an English edu cation to a more perfect system of self improvement. His first step in political life may be dated, we suppose, from his election as alderman. From that he was advanced to the mayoralty; then, in 1835, he went to the Legislature, in which posi tiou he gained a notoriety in the State. In 1841 he was elected to the State Senate, and in 1843 he was elected to Congress, where his opposition to the protective tariff schemes of the North made him somewhat conspicuous. In 1845 he was re-elected to Congress by his constituents, taking a prominent po sition on all the exciting political ques tions of that time, and iii 1847 he was again elected to the same position by an overwhelming majority. In 1853 he was chosen Governor of his State, and re-elected in 1855, serving until 1857, when he was elected U. S. Senator. In the Democratic National Convention of 1860, Senator Johnson was the Presi dential candidate of the Tennessee dele gation. In March, 1862, he became Military Governor of Tennessee by ap pointment of President Lincoln, and in 1864 he was nominated and elected Vice-President on the ticket with Lin coln and succeeded to the Presidency of Lincoln in 1865. His course since the war is well known—his opposition to the encroachments of a Radical Congress upon the Constitution, his impeachment before the Senate, and his bare escape from being thrown out of his high posi tion—being facts in his history of too recent date to require recapitu'ation. The subsequent election of Mr. John son to the Senate was a triumph to him and his friends, but which was cut short by his sudden and unexpected death. His career was the most marked of any man of our Republic, and many valuable lessons might be gained by a study of his life. In Tennessee his loss is severely felt, but we do not think the other Southern States have any great reason to feel grateful to him for his course as President during the South’s great trials after the close of the war Better Days for Arkansas. We make the following extracts from a letter by a friend in Arkansas, shov ing that since that State has come out from under Radical rule, she is steadily and surely recuperating from the pros trate condition into which she was thrown by the party of pillage. As the letter was mislaid for several weeks we omit all concerning the- crops which were, at the time it was written, in a most flourishing condition. We would be pleased to hear from our old friend often. Dear Me: The Arkansas Valley be yond a doubt is the finest farming coun try on the globe, especially when you speak of cotton. It will beat the world, we had cotton blooms as early as the 16th of June. Since our State passed into the hands of the Democratic party everything seems to have taken new life; law and order now prevail instead of misrule, honest men generally fill all offices of public trust and justice is meted out to all classes, where heretofore under Rad cal rule justice went unwhipt. We now Lave a much better state of morals un der the guidance of our present State Executive, who is a most model Govern or. I hs.ve heard he was reared and ed ucated in Georgia, and I think he is the mall to reform our State and bring her back to her primitive purity There is, since the wiping out of the Rads, quite a tide of emigration coming to our State seeking new homes, with an overwhelm ing prospect in the early future of thousands more. I say come one, come all, where you can work land that will remunerate you for your labor. Come West, young man, where you can culti vate the soil in its virgin or natural state just as it was given to Adam. Our State is opening up with railroad facili ties in process of construction through all desir ble portions, and bids fair to take the lead of her sisters of the West at an early day, socially, politically and in all the departments of agriculture. I will come to a close with my regards to all of my old friends, and when he rail road is completed to dear old Elberton, should I still tread terra firma, I will pay you a flying visit. I remain as ever yours, W. S. A. Death of a Good Old Negro. Baima Brawner, a'J African brought to this country in his young days, died last Friday. His age is estimated at from 85 to a hundred. He was a good worker as long as he was able to work, and since then has been a quiet, orderly old negro, liked by everybody ; but his work has ended here, for he has “Gone where the good niggers go.” The man who grinds out the Thomas ville Enterprise throws the chicken tor pedo in the shade by inventing the watermelon torpedo. Agents wanted. Salaries of Publio Officers. Since the retirement from the Su preme Court bench of Justices McKay and Trippe, much has been said con cerning the salaries of public officials. The Justices of our Supreme Court receive a salary each of thirty five hun died dollars in gold, for which they give in return eleven months' hard work— that kind of work which soon runs down life’s machinery. There are few second rate lawyers in the State who do not receive as much in the w r ay of fees with not more than half the labor, and it is hardly to be expected that a first-class lawyer wuuld drop a lucrative practice to accept a position that paid but a tythe of the amount. It is all very well to talk of the honor of the position. But that will not furnish bread and meat. Time was when our people were wealthy and could accept positions for the honor attached to them. But the war has left us all too poor for that now. The re cent exhibit of the State having to beg the acceptance of positions on the Su preme bench is not very gratifying to those who have a natural pride in their State. Of course it is not popular to advocate an increase of salaries and therefore an increase in the matter of taxes; but we have never yet descended to advocate a measure against our better judgment simply because it was popular. The old adage, “The laborer is worthy of his hire,” we think can be applied to a public officer as well as any other laborer, and that the remuneration should be commensurate with the labor per formed, is a proposition no one will ob ject to. The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, a paper usually sound on all questions of public policy, closes an article on this subject with the following recommenda tion—which, while we are not prepared to endorse to the extent of the amounts named, is worthy of consideration : “We think the compensation of Judges of the Supreme Court should be placed at seven thousand dollars per annum, and the salaries of the Circuit (Superior- Court) Judges at five thousand dollars per annum, payable in currency. These sums are not at all too large—not near so great as the income of any first-class lawyer—not near so much as the sala ries paid by the Government to United States Judges, although the labor im pose 1 upon State Judges is much more onerous. The salary of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States is ten thousand five hundred dol lars, of the Associate Justices ten thous and dollars per annum.” Wilkes County. From the Washington Gazette we gather the following news items : Mr. F. G. Colley was thrown from his mule last Friday week, and had his skull badly fractured. His injuries are considered fatal. The editor of the Gazette boasts of eating a forty-seven pound watermelon furnished by Mr. B. F. Barksdale. Mr. Chas. E. Irvin bad his house de stroyed by fire on the night of the 31st ult. A large amount of furniture was saved from the flames. Cause of ' fire," carelessness about the kitchen fire. Another runaway at and buggy smash up occurred in Washington recently— strange to say this time it was not Dr. Andrews’ team. The editor disports a column and a half on the Insane Asylum—a danger ous subject. Prepare for Extensive Small Grain Crops. We think it would be an act of wisdom on the part of our farmers to make pre parations for large crops of small grain. From all the information we can gather, the corn crop generally will not be suf ficient to satisfy the demand of the country, and means looking to a good oat and wheat crop next spring would relieve the necessities of our people to a very great extent, taking the place of corn as bread for mai and food for stock. These are not costly crops, if the verdict of experienced farmers may be taken, and if by going into them with’ a determination to do their best, our farmers can keep out of debt for this class of provisions, they will have ac complished much towards that prosperi ty for which all are hoping. Death of an Aged Citizen. Jeremiah Naish, an old and respected citizen of Elbert county, died at his home last Friday, after a very brief ill ness. At the time of his death he was in his eighty second year. Uncle Jerry served five years in the regular army which embraced the war of 1812, and was drawing a pension from the Government at his death. A part of the time while in the army, he was en gaged in getting up recruits, and often in later days talked freely of his experi ence in that part of the service. For many years he has acted as bailiff in justice’s courts and the Grand Jury of the Superior Court, a position award ed as much for his attention to his busi ness as for his indigent circumstances. He was, perhaps, the politest man in Elbert county. But our old friend has gone to another world, and we can only pray for the quiet repose of his soul. Improvement in Elberton. As before announced, anew store for the sale of general merchandise is to be opened in Elberton during the present mouth. Messrs. Hanvey & Dunning, two en terprising gentlemen of Atlanta, will also put up a steam gin and open a cotton ware house in our town. Mr. J. W. Golucke, of Washington, Ga., has rented the building formerly occupied by Mr. Geo. Loelir, and con templates opening a full line of furniture during the month of September. Welcome, gentlemen, to Elberton. We have room here for all who will come. Our town extends a hearty greeting to all who will assist in build ing up her waste places. HART COUNTY DEPARTMENT. BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. iSmtwe^^ • ' " ' 1 " 1 MURDER OF BERRY WALTERS. In summing up the evidence as taken down at the Coroner’s inquest held on the body of Berry Walters, who was killed last week by Wm. D Bailey, at the grocery of Niell Cleveland, in Reed Creek district, of which w r e sent you a hasty account last week, we find it to have been a cruel and wilful murder. From the evidence it appeal’s that Wal ters tried with all his might to keep out of a difficulty with Bailey, and when Bailey made at him with his knife he ran away from him, but Bailey followed him for a distance of 75 yards, cutting him as he ran, and cutting him until he fell dead, Walters making scarcely any resistance whatever. The description furnished us of Bailey is as follows: He is a thick set man, about 5£ feet in height, with dark hair and eyes, 35 or 40 years of age ; has a large upper lip, and a peculiarity in his voice. The following is a copy of the verdict, as rendered at the Coroner’s inquest: State of Georgia, Hart county, July 31st, 1875.—We, the undersigned Jurors, after being duty sworn and charged by Henry K. Phillips, Coroner of said county, proceed to hear and examine the witnesses, and in accordance there with, render the following verdict, to wit: We, the Jury of this inquest, have examined the body of Berry C. Walters, deceased, and pronounce it wilful mur der, perpetrated by William D. Bailey, done by a knife, stabbed or cut three times, on 30th July, 1575, in said county. Joseph Maret, Foreman, Samuel D.

HART COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. Proceedings of a meeting of the Hart County Agricultural Society, held on the 3d day of August, 1875. In accordance with the request of the State Commissioner, organized a regular system for the purpose of furnishing monthly report to the Department of Ag riculture, all the statistics of crops, &c., that may be required from this county. It being the annual election of officers, the following were unanimously re-elect ed for the ensuing year: F. B. Hodges, President; John G. McCurry, Vice President; C. W. Seidel, Secretary and Treasurer. Amended the By Laws of the Society, by inserting in a blank space left for that purpose, the sum of ten cents as the annual dues of each member of this Society. Passed unanimously a resolution in response to circulars received from the United States Centennial Commission of 1876, giving the hearty aid and co-opera tion of our Society for that purpose, in return for which we to have all the benefits to be derived from the same, m like manner with similar organizations. Distributed proceedings of Thomas ville Convention, and premium lists of the Georgia State Fair. Adjourned to Ist Tuesday in Septem ber next. F. B. HODGES, President. C. W. Seidel, Sec’y and Treas. - -*<♦ HARTWELL. Notwithstanding there was a large crowd of people out, saleday was one of unusual quietness.' Tlie only incident worthy of mention on that day was a sudden increase in the inhabitants of Hartwell, to the number of two interest ing individuals. They have commenced business at once, and we understand are following the avocations of “milkers.” They have engaged board at Dr. C. A. Webb’s and Lee Linder’s. The court house has been undergoing some repairs, confined principally to the court room, it having been replastered where necessary, and also in white wash ing the entire room. It has improved its appearance very much, and reflects credit on the experienced workman who did the job, who was Mr. Mathews, of Anderson. We understand that the whole build ing is to be repainted at an early day. ARRIVALS. The genial Sheriff’ of your county, Mr. Adams, and your town marshal, Mr. D. Adams, spent a few days with us last week. They both have many warm friends in this community, who assisted to make their visit one of real enjoyment, and who shed tears of regret on their departure, and whose parting hymn was “Good bye, Mary Jane.” May their shad ows never grow less, and may they live to make many more visits to Hartwell. PERSONAL. F. B. Hodges, Esq., has gone to At lanta, to attend the Supreme Court now in session. Messrs. Frank S. Roberts and J. A. Teasley have gone to represent the county in the Agricultural Convention to be held at Dalton this week. Items from N. E. Georgia. From the Athens Watchman we make up the following items : Walton and Gwinnett counties were visited by a heavy hailstorm recently, destroying crops on several planta tions. The Superior Court of the Western circuit commenced at Athens on Mon day. In this section crop prospects are gloomy. The drought is general, and showers only partial. • Rev Bedford Langford, of Oconee, died on the 18th inst. The Board of Trustees of the Georgia University have re elected the old facul ty. Half a Hog Apiece. —Statistics care fully collected by the Department of Agriculture reveal the startling fact that within the United States at this present moment there are “on the hoof” no less than 18.000,000 head of hogs. Exclusive of aged toothless persons and young infants, and those who abstain from pork as an unclean thing, there are now living in the United States just about 36,000,000 human beings. The alto gether appalhng deduction from theae facts is only too obvious, the horrible conviction being forced upon us that ! within the next twelve months each in | dividual able-bodied man, woman and child within the boundaries of this mis guided land, where once was liberty, must eat half a hog or disturb the ex port and import equilibrium of the world. The Family Sewing Machine.— The in vention of the Wilson Shutle Sewing Machine exerts an influence over do mestic comfort unequalled by any inven tion of the last hundred years. As an economical arrangement it enables one person to do the work of ten in a superior manner, and with unspeakably more comfort. Machines will be deliver ed at any railroad station in this county, free of transportation charges, if ordered through the Company’s Branch House at 189 Canal street, New Orleans.
