THE COUNTY COURT.
Through the courtesy of the same legal
friend who gave the readers of the News the
benefit of his labors last week, we are ena
bled to lay before them, in this issue, an
** attract” of the amendments to the original
law establishing County Courts. We are
vain enough to believe our little sheet has
thus done the people of the county some s<‘r
vice in furnishing the “ gist*’ of a matter in
which all are interested—to a greater or less
extent.
ABSTRACT ok the amendments to the act
OF TUK ll) Til OK
LISHING COUNTY COURTS.
By Act approved. Aug. 24th. 1872, it is
provided, that when an indictment for a mis
demeanor is found by a Grand Jury and the*
Judge Of the Superior Court shall direct it to
be returned to the county Court, together with
the papers pertaining to such ease, to be dis
posed of by said county Court, it shall be the du
ty of the said county Court, when the party
accused shall be adjudged liable to pay a fine
or costs, or both, to collect the same as costs
and fines arc collected by the Superior
Courts ; and that before paying the same
over to the County Treasurer to deduct tliero
from the costs due the Clerk of the Superior
Court and the Solicitor General, which sum
sr> deducted, the county Judge shall hold
subject to the order of such officers.
% said act it is further provided, that
should the Grand Jury, at the Spring term,
fail to provide a salary for the county Judge
for his services, then the Grand Jury, at the
Fall term, may fix his salary, which shall be
paid over to him by the County Treasurer of
the county without other or further order.
By act approved Feb’y loth. 1873. it is pro
vi(fed that when no salary is provided by’ the
G-rnnfF Jury, then the county Judge shall re
tain the costs prescribed by act of 1872, as
his compensation ; and in eases not provided
for by the Act of 1872, as to costs, then the
eosts allowed’by act of 1865-66. The same
act also provides, that the Sheriffs of the
counties of this State, where county Cosn r ts
hare been established, their deputies, or the
bailiffs ol’ snidCbiivf s; may serve and execute
all processes issued by the county Courts of
their reaftectlve counties.
Section 2d, of tlie act of Feb’y 15th, 1873,
provides tlmt in all civil and criminal cases
w 1 wye the amount involved is over one hun
dred <kdlars, said officers shall be entitled to

ble
County Judges may grant new trials in
cases tried before them ; which order or judg
ment may be carried for review to the Supe
rior Court by appeal or certiorari as in other
casea, to wit: Where amount is under fifty
dollars, by certiorari; where over fifty dol
lars, by appeal.
Cpunty Judges, where county Courts are
established, have concurrent jurisdiction with
Courts of Ordinary in issuing, hearing and
determining writs of Habeas Corpus.
The Intelligent Compositor Talks Back.
An exasperated and sarcastic “ blacksmith”
who sets type in Cairo writes: “Who ever
heard of an editor making an error during his
whole editorial career ? No one. The mer
chant swears at the printer ; so does the occa
sional correspondent humbug, who writes
about the ‘people,’ ‘sovereignty,’ ‘common
wealths,’ ‘burden of taxes,’ ‘tyranny,’ etc.;
so does that cheerful hieroglvphieal prodigj*,
the associated press agent; and those intoler
able frauds, the poetess and poet of the city ;
the man whose friends desire that he should
be Mayor; the individual who received a ben
efit and a stuffed watch for his brilliant
talents, and in his card of thanks used the
glittering commonplace, the antiquated and
excessively vain pronoun ‘l,’ thus “I,” in fact,
the printer gets bounced on all sides. lie
wlk> rummages after unintelligible pieces
of metal, who corrects, on an everage, about
fifteen villainous errors an hour in common
words, such as traveler, jailor, hypocrisy, ful
fill, holiday, gauge, separate, alleged, fetid,
judgment, skillful, counselor, impanel, and
many other simple ones, and makes probably
one blunder in five thousand words, is fre
quently asked to step down and out. No
wonder he feels savage, and drinks whisky
and beer, and talks about the ignorance of
the aristocrats, the middle classes, and all
other classes.”
“IN THE FALLI”
In a conversation with a gentleman a few
days ago, it was remarked—“ One of the first
and greatest causes for the present hard
times, is a want of confidence between man
and man.” If this be true —and there is no
doubt, at all, of the fact—how scrupulously
should every one be in regard to the obliga
tions which necessity has forced upon him or
her during the pressure of the Summer just
passed! Should it not be the great “chief
end” of every one to restore himself to the
confidence and in the confidence of his neigh
bors and friends—the merchant, the physician,
or any one with whom he has made a con
tract or entered into an obligation where his
honor as a man is at stake ? The writer is
led to these remarks in reflecting on the thou
sand and one promises made during the past
months of the present year, as to what would
be done “in the Fall.’’ Let mo have some
i corn, says one, my family is almost on suffer
i ance—and “ I’ll pay you in the Fall.” I’m
obliged to have some sugar and coffee and
j calico, says another to tiie merchant, and
‘ “ I’ll pay you in the Fall.” Please do not
harrass me about that old debt, says a third,
1 “ I’ll pay a portion, or all, in the Fall.”—
I And thus we might add line upon line in
enumerating the obligations entered into on
! the assurance that they were to be cancelled
“in the Fall.”
Friends, the Fall is here! Now let us
“quit” ourselves like men. Do 3*oll owe a
man ten dollars—twenty dollars—five dollars
—or even one dollar ? See that this debt is
liquidated ere you begin to think of purchas
ing this new thing and that new thing.—
There is no telling how much indebtedness
one five dollar bill will pay if put in “work
ing order”—if put in circulation. Some who
read this may recollect a story’ of a “ Bank
Bill.” published last Spring in some of the
papers that have a good circulation in this
county. The substance of the story was
about this : At the supper table a gentle
man, for some reason, handed his wife a five
dollar bill. She, turning to a lady relative,
remarked that she owed her five dollars, and
handed her the bill; this lady recollected
that there was someone else present to whom
she was indebted, and in this maimer the five
dollar bill took the circle of the table several
times, until this single note had paid a hun
dred or more dollars indebtedness, and the
beauty of the matter was it was still in cir
culation. We have mentioned this circum
stance—imperfectly we admit—to show what
can be done when the “ ball is put in motion.”
Again we repeat, remember what you have
obligated yourselves to do “ in the Fall,” and
these obligations cancelled, your conscience
will lie easy, and hundreds perhaps of }'our
fellow-mortals will be made happy by your
deeds and y r our example. And should you
be spared to see and behold the light of a
“ New Year,” you will begin it with the
“ confidence” and esteem of all 3 our fellow
citizens.
The Code Among Newspaper Wien.
Apropos of newspaper quarrels resulting
in duels and street-brawls, (says the Nash
ville Weekly American,) may not the point of
order be raised, while discussing the aesthe
tics of modern journalism, as to the exact
propriety of using language in the columns
of newspapers that render such results imi
nent or necessary. Usually the language
employed—notable instances in point furnish
ed from St. Louis and Cincinnati—is not the
kind of language that gentlemen indulge in
file presence of ladies and children, and by
no means admissablc in the presence of well
bred people, regardless of sex or age. As
the boasted conservator of public words and
manners, may not the fourth-estate set the
age' a‘ ’better example ? In justice to journals
which have a higher appreciation of the dig
nity of their mission, and whose claims to
social recognition and the entree to respecta
ble family circles nVe indirectly prejudiced
by the professional association, those of the
lewd and baser sort might be subjected to
that provision of the statutes, which comes
under the head of obscene literature, without
impairing the independence or usefulness of
the press.
Northeastern Railroad.
The Athens Georgian has this to say in re
gard to this enterprise : “ The present length
of the line from Athens to Lula, in all, thirty
nine miles, has been graded and is now ready
for the road proper. So far, only nine miles
of the iron have been laid, but the cross-ties
have been provided for the whole distance.
Two hundred and forty thousand dollars in
all, has been expended, and it is estimated
that about two hundred thousand dollars
would equip and furnish the road. The Com
pany is now out of debt, and the first mort
gage bonds have been limited to nine thou
sand dollars of graded road per mile, a first
class security. Arrangements, we arc in
formed, will soon be made for borrowing the
necessary means to complete the road, as the
Directors, very justly, are unwilling to sacri
fice their stock atj>resent. Mr. Johnson, the
Secretary and Treasurer, thinks, that from
the present outlook, the road will be complet
ed this winter. So mote it be.”
A Curious Creature. —Yesterday, Mr.
Wm. Ira Smith brought into our sanctum an
amphibious terrapin, caught at Smyrna, 15
miles out from Atlanta, upon the State road.
This old hardshell had a legend inscribed
upon his back, which read as follows :
“D. Kirk, 78th Ind. Vols U. S„ July 4th,
1864.”
There were some other letters, but their
meaning could not be made out. There was
a battle fought near Smyrna about the date
written upon the terrapin’s shell. How
much older the creature is than the eleven
3 r ears made certain by the inscription, we
cannot say. He is now on exhibition at the
Young Men’s Library.— At. Constitution.

The Sarepta Association.
Mr. Editor : — This body convened on Tues
day, Sept. 21st, with the church at Cloud’s
Creek, in Oglethorpe county.
The Rev. Benjamin Thornton, who was
Moderator last 3 r ear, not being present, the
duty of presiding during the organization de
volved upon W. C. Howard, former Clerk.
Most of the churches belonging to the As
sociation (forty-two) were represented. Rev.
A. J. Kelly 7 was chosen Moderator and W. C.
Howard Clerk. Rev. W. F. Stark preached
the Introductory Sermon to a large and ap
preciative audience. The attendance during
the session was fine, and the session was a
most pleasant and profitable one—a cordial
and exceedingly harmonious christiau spirit
seeming to pervade the entire body. There
was in attendance a number of prominent
Baptists as visitors, amongst whom were
Revs. P. H. Metl, C. M. Irwin, B. M. Cala
way, G. A. Nunnally, J. R. Young, T. C.
Boykin and W. N. Chaudoin; J. H. James,
Esq., was also present from Atlanta. J. R.
Young and B. M. Calaway’ preached at the
stand to attentive congregations ; T. E. Skin
ner, D. D., preached in the house a most
effective Missionary discourse, at the close of
which a collection was taken, amounting to
over one hundred and thirty dollars; P. H.
Mell, D. D., LL. D., also preached in the
house a powerful and effective sermon, such
as characterizes this eminent divine.
A difficulty pending between the Millstone
and Elberton churches was happily and ami
cably adjusted by the delegates representing
these churches. The usual reports were
made and elicited appropriate remarks from
brethren present. The condition of affairs
within the associational bounds appeared to
be healthful; the subject of Missions, Sun
day Schools, Temperance, State of Religion
and Religious literature received prominent
attention. Pledges of money’ were made to
help pay* for a home for the famil3 f of Rev.
H. J. Goss, deceased, and also to aid in erect
ing a monument to the memory 7 of Rev. Asa
Chandler, deceased ; there was also some
funds raised to aid in paying for the new
church at Handlers creek. The next ses
sion of the Association will be held with the
church at Handler’s creek, in Jackson coun
ty, two miles from Maysvillc, on the North
eastern Railroad,. commencing on Tuesday
after the fourth Monday in September, 1876.
The session was closed amid the expres
sion of brotherly* love, by appropriate re
marks from the Moderator, the singing of a
hymn, extending the parting hand followed
by prayer led by that good man of God, Rev.
W. N. Chaudoin. It was a meeting that will
long be remembered by magly present, and it
is believed that much gpbil has and wiil re
sult from this of the Baptist de
nomination in this part of the State. Anew
church established at Harmony’ Grove, was
received into the Association, represented by’
Rev. W. B. J. Hardeman and R. S. Cheney.
The hospitality of the community was un
bounded and dispensed with great liberality.

The Storm in Texas.
Another great calamity has been added to
the terrible catalogue of disasters of this
year—disasters caused by extraordinary
natural phenomena. The fearful storm of
week before last, in Texas, was even more
destructive of human life than the Gerogia
cyclones of the spring, and. like the memory
of our hurricanes, the dread of a repetition
will long distress those who witnessed but
escaped it. The high water and destruction
to life and propearty on the Texan coast
were not caused by rains or by high tides
produced by common agencies, but by strong
winds sweeping the waves upon the shore,
where they accumulated and were piled up
higher b} f each successive swell until they
reached the habitations of men artd in some
instances swept them off. It is impossible
to estimate the amount of loss, but the
destruction of life is truly appalling. Dead
bodies are found strewn along the coast for
a distance of twenty miles, and among the
ruins and debris of fallen houses the unfor
tunate victims are picked up, mutilated and
mangled. The privation among the survi
vors is truly appalling, and piteous appeals
for help are sent out.
The towns Indianola and Matagorda are
wrecks. The people have lost their all—
their property and their friends to a terrible
extent—and the horror of these calamities is
heightened by general privation and desti
tution.
A Kentucky Rat Story.— Wilst Mr.
Joseph Terrell was sitting in his back porch,
about dusk the other evening, he saw two
rats coming from under some wood close b}\
Noticing something peculiar about them, he
paid close attention, and discovered that
they had a straw in their mouths, one rat at
eacli end. The rats went down to a little
pond in the yard laid the straw down, took a
drink of water, picked up the straw and
marched back in the same way they went
down. Just before reaching the wood Mr.
Terrell killed them both, and upon examina
tion found the largest and oldest rat to have
been totally blind. Mr. Terreil sa}'s the old
rat was very fat, and is satisfied that the
other rats have been feeding him on young
chickens and turkeys, as well as watering
him. —Ballard \Ky.) News.
Meridian Homestead Report of tiie
CLiNton (Miss.) Riot.— One thing [ must
not fail to mention. The fracas occurred
before dinner. The meat was on the spits,
the bread was on the tables. But as the
darkies ran, with a shower of leaden hail all
about them, and death staring them in the
back, they gathered the meat and bread,
and when the black wave had passed on,
nothing was left but horses and mules, carts,
buggies and wagons, hats, caps and rags,
and a few lifeless bodies. The ruling
instinct was strong in the face of death. If
you know of anything in the annals of war
fare that will beat that, the world ought to
have it.

Mr. M. O, McMullen, an ingenious
mechanic, who has had considerable expe
rience in the construction of machinery for
water mills, is now building a mill for Mr. T.
Jeff. Jordan, of this (Wilkinson) county, on
a principle never before employed in the
propulsion of water wheels. The stream
upon which the mill is being constructed is
a spring branch, and the wheel is an over
shot. twenty-five feet in diameter. Attached
to the machinery of the mill is a powerful
pump, capable of lifting and conducting to
the pond the greater quantity of the water
used in propelling the wheel. Mr. McMul
len is so well satisfied from tests that it will
prove a success, that he has agreed to forfeit
all demands upon Mr. Jordan for the con
struction of the mill if it should not work
successfully. And if it does work success
fully it will revolutionze the mill system of
the country. Every mountain spring will be
employed in turning a mill, and as it works
the same water over and over again, some
speculative spirit will no doubt try to employ
the principle in running a mill, depending
upon carrying his water to a tank by‘hand.
We shall watch the construction of this mill
with considerable interest, and report results
to our readers. It is'of more practical impor
tance than Keely’s motor.

became irregular, and was the victim of sup

ravages of the disease, she was miserable
and unfit for social After trying
many remedies, and paying much money to
physicians, a friend sent her a couple of bot
tles of Regulator. She improved after
taking the first, and before taking the second
she became sound and well. Now, two
years after taking the first bottles, she is
fully restored to her former health, and is a
most beautiful woman. Proper respect for
