Moulton Advertiser: The jury in the case
of The State vs.,Paschal for murder of Oats,
a conductor on the Memphis and Charleston
Railroad in I860, returned a verdict of not
guilty.
Jacksonville Republican: Hon. "W. P. How
ell, of Clebnrn, writes us of the death of Rev.
Thomas Wallace, Congregational Methodist,
from the bite or a rattle snake. He died in
six hours after he was struck. Aged 65
years.
The Columbus Sun is informed that a New
York house proposed to establish a branch
house at Opelika, but the late killing in that
city, and more especially the duellistic cor
respondence which has grown out of it, and
ramified in most unexpected places, and
called in persons who had no possible con
nection with it, has caused the New York
firm to withdraw both their credit and money
from such an undertaking. They argue badly
for business from existing circumstances.
Eufaula News: A strong force of mechan
ics and laborers have been employed at the
fair grounds recently, who have covered the
grand stand, erected new buildings, and
otherwise enlarged and improved the facili
ties for holding the fair in October. The in
dications still are that a great number of
visitors will be present, and both the officers
of the association and our citizens proper are
making extensive preparations for their ac
commodations.
Birmingham Independent: The meetings
of the Ruhama Horticultural Society are
veiy interesting. A committee reported
corn crop yield above the average compared
with past three or four years. Wheat a fail
ure. Oats, peas and potatoes good. Clover
prospects encouraging. Cotton fair. A
stock company for sheep raising was formed
and the following resolution was adopted:
“Resolved, That we, the Ruhama Horti-
Agricultural Society, do earnestly request
the General Assembly of Alabama to enact
a law or laws taxing every dog in the State
except Shepherd’s dogs, or requiring a license
to be taken out for every dog kept upon any
person’s premises except as before mention
ed with a heavy penalty annexed for any
violation of such law.” By the school
census just taken, our city has 497 youths of
both sexes between the ages of 5 and 21 years.
Of these S81 are white and 115 colored.
The Greensboro Speech*
Editors Chronicle and Sentinel: The At
lanta Constitution, of September 6th
inst, contains a report of a speech made by
Gov. Smith, on Friday, 5th inst., at Greens
boro, to the farmers of old Greene, in which
is found the following remarkable extract:
“Everybody had a lien except the farmers.
Doctors, lawyers, undertakers all had liens
and leaned and liened on the farmers. We
need directing minds in our Legislature.” As
this report has now been before the public for
a week and is found in a paper published in
Atlanta, it must be taken as correctly made.
Is Governor Smith g statene it of the lawof
liens correct? The Code and the statute
books both say it is no£. The farmers need
liens to protect them in their sales of cotton,
com, rice and other products—to protect
them in sales of any article of personal prop
erty—to protect them in the renting
of their real estate, and to protect
them in sales of their real estate. Now,
how doe3 the law provide for these
necessities ? The Code of Georgia, in section
1589, declares that cotlon,corn, rice and other
products sold by planters or their agents on
cash sale shall not be considered the property
of the buyer or the ownership thereof given
up until the same be fully paid for, although
it may have been, delivered into the posses
sion of the buyer. In section 1599 there is
found thi3 further provision: “If any person
engaged in the business of buying cotton,
com or other produce sold by planters
buys the same for cash from the planter or
his agent, and shall fail or refuse to pay for
the same and dispose of the same before pay
ing, he shall be guilty of tho'crime of em
bezzlement, and on conviction thereof be
sent to the penitentiary for a time not less
than one nor longer than five years.” The
act of 1873, in its 6th section, gives to farm
ers the same lien when selling supplies or
other articles of necessity to make crops, as
isgiven to merchants, factors and dealers in
guano.
Under the decision of the Supreme Court
in 23 Ga. 205, a farmer or other
peraon selling personal property, and giving
credit for the same and actually delivering
up the property to the purchaser, may re
serve to himself the title until payment, and
such reservation will be good against credit
ors and purchaser from the buyer. Under
the act of February, 1873, landlords (a term
which now includes a large majority of our
farmers) are given a lien for rent superior to
all liens but liens for taxes. Under the Code
of Georgia, farmers, like all other persons
selling real estate, may secure their purchase
money by mortgage or bond for title.
We conclude, then, as we began by saying
that Governor Smith's statement of the law
of liens relating to farmers is not correct and
not reliable. Lsx.

A Picture of Jnisslsslppi.
Correspondence of the Memphis Appeal.]
Meridian, September 19,1873.
Crops of com and cotton in the prairies
are utter failures. The people are most un
fortunate. They are in debt, impoverished,
enslaved, and taxed as are no other agricul
tural population on the globe. Meridian
groans beneath the burdens heaped up on one
another, but the State and-county alone, to
say nothing of the town and Federal taxation,
exact five per cent. Add the cost of
towns and tariffs, and the people
pay six or seven per cent, of their
whole wealth annually to office-hold
ers. Penury stares them in the face, and
toil is so profitless that multitudes are idle.
There are two or three hundred negro men
in this village who have done nothing for
months. Tney live by depredations upon
pig-styes and hen-roosts, and by burglaries.
Where property is thus insecure and thus
taken it is rapidly made valueless, and a
people become hopeless idlers. The jail
of the village is ever over-crowded with
criminals. In fact negroes commit all
sorts of petty crimes that they may
be imprisoned and fed at public cost. A
chaingang is now sauntering about the
streets, its members never earning;their
bread. The people know not what disposi
tion to make of these countless criminals.
Every negro county can furnish from one to
two hundred fit subjects for the penitentiary.
But the penitentiary is already overcrowded
■ here, as in Tennessee, and the new. question
arises, as these States and counties grow
poorer, and vice and crime more unblushing,
what disposition can be made of thieves and
vagrants? Why may not all these States
enter into a partnership and transfer all sorts
of culprits to builders of a great canal, con
necting the Mississippi with the Atlantic ?
C§pThere is just now quite a little gather
ing of literaiy lions and lionesses at the
residence of Mr. Howells, in Jefferson, Ohio.
AmoDg those present are Henry W. Long
fellow and his three little daughters: How
ells, Jr., of the Atlantic Monthly; Lowell,
the poet and essayist; Warner, the genial
philosopher; Annie Howells, literary editor
of the Inter-Ocean, and Mrs. Mary Fields,
- the racy correspondent and contributor.
TOWN LOTS.
rpHEKE WILL BE A GREAT AUCTION SALE OF
A TOWN LOTS
AT MUMFORD,
Talladfgi county, Alabama, on Saturday the
27th of SEPTEMBER, 1873,
commencing at 10 o'clock a. jf.
Mumford la ten mliea northeast of Talladega, on
the Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad, and la one of
the healthiest localities in the mountain region of the
State. It la already a very prosperous,
INCORPORATED TOWN,
with eight stores, a drag store and a flourishing acad
emy, and a refitted, moral and religions community;
and lcwonld be the summer home of *-—<iT.ii. nf
people from the Gnlf coast, If theie were only houses
for rent, or hotels for their accommodation. It la
surrounded by the very
Best Agricultural Lands
In the State, as the never failing crops testify; and
inexhaustible beds of hematite iron ore, yielding from
60 to 75 par cent pure Iron, project from every eleva
tion within the corporate limits. It la on the exact
air-line of the
Georgia Western Railroad*
running from Atlanta to Birmingham, already under
contract to the Georgia state line; and, from the
character of the country, the road will be compelled
to pass through Mumford. The Alabama Iron Works,
about ons mile from Mumford, will be in full blast
in a few weeks, turning out ca'ly twenty tona of iron,
and furnlthing to the Georgia Western fire fold more
trade than all the other local freight between Talla
dega and Atlanta. Negotiations aro now going on by
a company of Northern capitalists for Iron property
here, and the erection of the most extensive works
on the lloe ol the Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad.
Colonel Glidden has already purchased the Iron Fur
nace and Cotton Factory on the Choccolocoo, and be
expects to pnt the latter In operation so soon as his
other business permits.
Choccolocoo Creek is a large mountain stream,
running in a aeml-circle around Mnmtord, distant a
little over a mile, and fnrniahlrg unlimited water
power for many miles. Hnmford la the highest point
on the Bailroad. between Selma and Borne. Georgia,
and is famous for Its pure, healthy air. Being the
half-way station on the road, all the trains meet and
lie over here, and it Is probable that the
Machine Shops
and all the offices of the companywillbelcoitedhere,
as nearly all the officers of the road have seenred, and
trill shortly secure, tots here.
Gome to the Sale,
and jndze for yonrselvea if the brilliant future of
Mumford has beeu overdrawn. Ton will at least be
rewarded for your trouble, by breathing onr pure air
for one day, and looking upon the loveliest mountain
sconerj in Alabama.
TERMS OF SALE:
One-fourth payable January 1st, 1874. and the bal
