RHilJ. OUR PEOPLE HAVE IT ?
VIEWS EXPRESSED ON THE
SUBJECT.
Editorial Corrcspoiidcm-e
Calhoun’ Superior Conn.
Mono an. Ga., March 11,1879.
The messenger wtio carries these
pencilling* to ihc railroad In time ip
reach you for this week’* paper, in-
Tlie'article in last week's News, lends to take hi* leave in a short
relative to a freo bridge over Flint while, and we therefore wrilci h^r-
river, created much comment on both , le,,l v •'"* wilh »”"*« * v
sides of the water. Many of our! Wo " rriv, “ 1 here in this peaceful
leading citizens, tax-payers and >*w-1
yers have expressed themselves free- — * ■ •
ly on the subject.
Said Capt. II. Ilobiis:7‘You struck
the right key. The county and city
should buy Tift's bridge and make it
free to all. It strikes me that the
county has a right to make such
purchase; as tho News says, just as
much right as she ha* to build
bridge over a creek.”
dipt. J. L. Boyt, who owns large
planting interest* on this side the
river, nnd it one of our most promi
nent tax payers, unselfishly remarked
to us: “As a matter of course the
connty ought to buy tho whole or an
Interest in Tift’* bridge. It is due to'
Ihc citizens and land owners on the
other side that they should have free
access to their only market. Yes; ]
factor a purchase. It ought to havi
been done long ago.”
Judgo Collier, our efficient Ordina
ry,'wtio always has an eye to (he
go$d of the county, remarked:
“Dougherty county and the citv
hould either buy or build a bridge
over Flint river. There can be no
loiibl aa to the right of the county to
build or buy a bridge for the conve
nience of her citizens. I am in favor
«t! It."
Mr. D. Greenfield didn’t see any
roaion why the bridge had not been
urchased long ago. He knew it
would 1 enhance the interests of Alba
ny and the county. Men would not
purchase landjn East Dougherty, bc-
j^um of the burdensome toll. He is
highly in favor rtf a purcha-e.
Messrs. Wooten ft Jones, Attor
neys, see nothing in the law, under
the new Constitution, prohibiting
such a purchase, and are in favor of
such a movement.
Mr: Jacob 1-orch, one of our enter
prising merchants, said, in answer to
a request for. iris views: “Tho propo
sition to buy Tift's bridge conics too
late. Within ten months the river
will be declared navigable, and Tift’s
bridge will bo cut down by the gov
ernment. It is not so constructed
that it could lie converted into a draw
bridge. Now, if the county or city
would buy Cjol. Tift’s right-of-awav
and build a draw-bridge, my idea is
that the merchants of Albany would
respond liberally without a murmur.
Tax Collector Forrester thinks the
bridge ought to be purchased by the
county and he madeTree. Thinks it
would do Albany more good than all
the railroads and factories that could
be built. He was almost ready to
say he would collect the extra tax
that 'would ^be required, without
compensation.
Mr. Sam'Mayer, of the famous cor
ner, said: “The county and city ought
to buy the bridge, if possible. If
made free, it would do much toward*
building up our city, and would very
greatly enhance the value of lands iu
East Dougherty.” lie hoped the
purchase would be made. Was cer
tainly in favor of it.
Capt. John A. Davis said: “If the
bridge can be purchased at anything
like a reasenable figure T certainly
favor it, and would willingly bear
my part of the expense. The county
ought to own a free bridge over
Flint River, and I know of no law
which could prevent the purchase.”
Wo shall continue to discuss this
matter, and present the views of those
of our citizens who feel an interest in
the matter.
and with Ihc exception of the grind
iiig of the wheels of the Court, found
every thing ns quid and serene a* a
spring morning.
The regular term of the Superior
Court convened yesterday. Judge
Arthur Hood, of the Fataula Circuit,
presiding, for the special purpose, of
hearing the ealo ot ;D.I J’. DUucjtn,
Guardian, vs. Jolm CoUey, in which
case Judge Wright'oofffdliiit^irdkUp
on account of having been employed
as counsel in the same, when he was
practising at the bur. It will he u
great relief to litigants, a* well as to
tlie county financially, to have this
ease finally disposed of. It. tnav be,
though, as so often in the past, that
tlie hearing now going on is b|it
beginning of the'end, as. jhe
involved is considerable, and the
points of law at issue various and
many of them intricate. The case
will, doubtless^ go to the tStiprenie
Court. It is hoped an(l ejkpecteAtrial
the clear head and discriminating
judgment of Judge Hood, who!* both
judge and jury in this case, will aid
in a great measure in settling the
equities between the parties. 1 Mr. ,L
G. Parks, a talented young barrister
of Dawson, is making the opening
argument for complainant, and mak
ing it in an able and lucid manner.—
He will be followed.by our owu able
juriit, Col. 'Wooten,” ai ill Then* Vne
Nestors of the bar, Judge* Lyon and
Vason, will follow on opposite sides,
and the argument will close.
It is probable the Court will be in
session tlie whole week, as a good
deal of business will claim the atten
tion of the body.
The Grand Jury L composed of the
very best material. We have pub
lished the list before, and those of
our readers know full-well that the
gentlemen forming the body are
sniong tlie best of our people. They
will look into the county’s interest
arnestlv and zealously, and will
doubtless add much to the general
welfare of the citizens by their de
liberations. Dr. O. H. Paul,,tlie rep

The West Point Cadetship-
W. C. Twltty, of Mitchell, Wins the Honor.
The competitive examination of ap
plicants for the West Point Cadet
ship was held in this city on Satur
day last. Ten young men from dif
ferent parts of the District, entered ;
and the examining board are loud
in their praise of each and every one
of them. Said one of the gentleman
composing the Board: “I never saw
ten young men in a class before any
one of whom would have made a
splendid subject for the military
Academy. They are spleudid fellows,
mentally, morally and physically.”
There were from Dougherty two
applicants; from Mitchell two; from
Terrell two; from Brooks I; from
Randolph 1; Early 1; Worth 1. The
contest was spirited, and not until 12
o’clock at night did the Committee
determine upon a man. Then Mr.
Twittv, of Mitchell, wus declared the
chosen man ; nnd Mr. Deau of Ran
dolph alternate.
Hr. Harrison Nichols la Trouble.
“On Wednesday last Harrison
Nichols, of Dooly county, imprisoned
on the charge of having openod the
dolor of the county jail.nnd liberating
04c John Thomas Spradley, arrested
in Florida,
was brought before Hon. Thomas H.
6tewart, on a writ of haliens corpus.
After hearing tho case, the Ordinary
ordered that liu be released 011 bail,
he giving a good nnd sufficient bond.
Immediately after liin release, he was
rearrested,011 a warrant for assault
with intent to murder. This case ex-
tes a great deal of interest, and will
heard at the Superior Court, of
>oly next week."
We find the above going the rounds
of the press. Mr. Nichols is well
known in Albany and vicinity, and
his friends will regret to learn of his
misfortune.

The Jury has already found
her of true hills, and the crime of the
county will he brought to the surface
nnd thoroughly investigated. No
clue has yet been found lcadiug to
the detection of the perpetrators of
tlie horrible crime tha* was commit
ted recently in Leary.’ We might add
just here that every endeavor litis
been used to ferret out the guilty par
ties, but as yet without success. (The
merchants of Leary have been e’spc-
ially zealous in the cause.
No news Of particular interest, in
the county. The farmers are putting
in good licks this fine weather, anil
are working with more titan usual
energy. General repairing and a
thorough “fixing up” around home is
noticed on ail sides,and like the Wan
dering Jew, the people are “ntOvidg
on”—making improvemehts, aHd dor.
ing everything in their power to get
themselves comfortably situated, with
pleasant surroundings to cheer and
make contentment. Every farmer
that we have met in Calhoun county,
except a few of the disgruntled and
dissatisfied kind, seem to have this
resolution in force: My farm shall be
a profitable one, if industry und good
management will make it so. Since
the new year began, they have paid a
great deal of attention to the compost
heap, and as Uncle Jimmy - Carmi
chael says, “we are unanimous on
this subject,” viz: that it will add
niinensely to tho debit side of their
operations for tlie yonr. Let them
diversify their crops; get out mid
away from the “all-cotton” plan, and
with continued energy and persever
ance, they are bound to ascend high
er in prosperity’s scale.
NOTES.
The new Sheriff, Mr. W. W. Glad
den, comes to his work naturally and iL.^
ystemalically. no is making an ef-J m ^
fleient and thorough officer, and giv
ing general satisfaction in all his du
ties.
The pleasant face of Alfred Mon
roe, the gentlemanly Clerk, is worth
a pilgrimage to see. Ilis nature is
like unto an oasis, where tlie springs
of geniality and good-will-for-all-
mankind effervesce.
Ordinary Mitchell is a bachelor lor
awhile, his “hotter hall” sojourning
for the nonce in Ciitlibcrt. He re
ports the financial condition of the
connty “tip top.” Wc had something
to say on this subject in a Calhoun
article of several weeks ago, and ox-
pect to descant more upon it anon.
Uncle Phil Clayton’s Holstelric is
crowded, but like a driver to a city'
’bn;, he always manages to find room
for “one more.” His table tie Hole is
unsurpassed, and to sec the hungry
lawyers and visitors ill general attack
tho smiling tables is rather similar to
a raid on a first-class boarding bouse
by tramps. The festive followers and
disciples of Blackstone must not think
we liken them to tramps in any other
particular.
Wc are extremely sorry to be called
on to chronicle the death of Mr.
Jonas Colley, which occurred in'i’et
as 011 last Monday week. It will bo
remembered that he went out to that
country only a short wbilo ago with
hi* father, Mr. Geo. W. Collov. He
liutl been in Texas but a few weeks
