Editor Forest News: —There seems to
be a wrong impression upon the minds of
some of our people upon the subject of erect
ing anew Court House. I therefore ask the
use of your columns to submit the following
views:
Section 504 of the Code of I§7S reads :
■‘lt is the duty of the Grand Juries to inspect
all the public buildings and other property of
the county, and the county records, and to
report, in their General Presentments, their
condition ; and if they report that -such Or
dinary* have failed to comply with the law
touching the same, it is the duty of the Solic
tor General of the circuits to commence pro
ceedings against them, that they may be com
pelled to do so, if they do not. in good faith,
comply by the next term of the Superior
Court.”
It will he seen that the duty of inspecting
and reporting the condition of the public
buildings and other property of the county
is charged upon the Grand Jurors. They
can no more disregard this duty than any
other imposed upon them by law. Now. two
consecutive Grand Juries for Jackson coun
ty, having ample opportunities to inspect our
present Court House, have, in their General
Presentments, recommended the building of
anew one. And one of these bodies as
signed as one reason, among several, that the
presentbuilding.is unsafe. These men. more'
than forty in number, chosen for their intel-
ligence and uprightness, charged with the
duty of inspecting and reporting the condi
tion of the public buildings, having opportu
nities to know whereof they speak, and speak
ing upon their oaths, .say that a necessity for
anew Court House exists, and recommend that
the Ordinary proceed at once to erect it.
Section 41)7 of the Code says : “It is the
duty of the O.rdinarys to ereftt or repair, when
necessary, their respect ive Court. Houses. &c."
Section 502 of the Code reads: “The Or
dinary* of the several counties have the pow
er to levy an ext ra tax sufficient to carry into
effect. Section 407. without a recommenda
tion of the Grand Jury, whenever the neces
sity arises.”
Now, what is the state of the question ?
Those that the Law has designated as the of
ficers of the county, to inspect and report,
have spoken, and have used no doubtful lan
guage. The law is not uncertain in its re
quirements of the Ordinary when these men
say what lie shall do ; nor is the command to
the Solicitor General, to institute proceedings
against him, if he should not, in good faith,
comply by the next term of the Superior
Court, mere idle words.
Judge Bell will not wait till he is proceed
ed against by the Selicitor. His regard for
the public interests will not permit him to
involve the county in a needless and - expen
sive litigation- The Court House will be
built without delay : the only question now
remaining is. how shaU the necessary means
be obtained? Upon this question, only can
the voice of tax-payers be taken ; and the is
sue plainly is, shall the necessary means to
build be raised upon bonds issued by the
county to run a series of years, thus distrib
uting the payments so that the burden will
fall lightly upon all, if, indeed, it be even felt ?
or shall a tax sufficient to complete the work
be levied and collected this fall? To illus
trate the issue : If A.’s part of the expenses
necessary to erect anew Court House should
he twenty dollars, would lie prefer to pay all
!of it this year, or would it accommodate him
to have the amount loaned to him, with the
understanding and agreement that he is to
pay back one dollar yearly, of the principal,
for twenty years, together with the interest,
annually, upon the principal that remains,
after being reduced yearly by the amount of
one dollar ? Should ” Bonds” be voted at
the election ordered on the eighth day of
May next, it will be, in effect, that the coun
ty will lend to each individual tax-payer
the amount of his extra tax for building the
Court House, less one-twentieth, with inter
est on the remainder at seven per cent-., and
soon yearly, for twenty years, as just before
illustrated.
So far, it seems that only one objection has
been urged to the issuing of bonds to raise the
means for this much needed work ; and that
one is. that by the time the bonds, and the
interest that will annually accrue thereon,
are paid, the sum will run up to startling fig
ures. Now, to see how much bottom there
is to this objection, let us compare calcula
tions. Ten thousand dollars, if all should he
paid in this fall, would, in twenty years, at
seven per cent, per annum, amount, principal
and interest, to twenty-four thousand dollars.
On the other hand, take seven hundred dol
lars. the interest on ten thousand of “bonds"
for the first year, add five hundred dollars
sinking fund, making twelve hundred dol
lars, count interest thereon at seven per
cent, till the last “ bond" is retired ; then
take for the next year six hundred and six
tv-five dollars, interest on the then outstand
ing bonds, add to this five hundred dolla -
sinking fund, making for the second ye
eleven hundred and sixty-five dollais. con
interest on this stun at seven per cent, fro
time it is paid till the last bond is retire
and so on til! the last bond is cancelled, a t
see if you have not exactly twenty-four tli>*,
sand dollars. So. that this matter of intere
is only a bug hear to those who doubt the
ability to make seven per cent, upon th.
amount of taxes the county proposes to allow
jthem to retain for the years Unit the bom l
! are to run.
Suppose the old Court House cost three
housand dollars sixty years ago; will any
;ve offer to maintain that, because the inter
est alone on that sum from then till now
would amount to twelve thousand six hun
ired dollars, therefore, it should not have
leen built? Certainly not. Allow me to
show that those who profess to he frightened
at thp groat accumulation of interest, cannot
p >-si I\‘be injured. For example : A.’b part of
the extra tax is fifty dollars, lie has-the moil
ev now on hand and wants to he discharged
from all liability on account of the new build
ing. Can’t he purchase a bond with that
money, and offset annually the demands of
the county against him by presenting his
bond for payment to the extent of those de
mands ?
Again: next year A. may not have so
much ready money; some misfortune mav
o ertake him ; lie might then wish that ‘I e
c uintv, or someone else, would end him l f
tv dollars. If he should address himself to
his neighbor.for a temporary loan, what bet
ter security could he offer than this same
bond ?
Again : ten years from now great changes
will have taken place amongst our people,
j The hoys and girls that now make glad our
j firesides, will he men and women, and many
j will, and all could, find homes around us.—
Strangers, attracted by our soil, our climate,
our schools, our churches, and our society, will
have found homes in our midst. The towns
along the Northeastern will attract citizens,
! and add wealth and character to our-county.
| Another era of prosperity may begin, and
who knows that before another decal* the
uncontrolled waters of our streams, that go ;
rollicking along, may not be moving machin- j
ery.
In these ten years, half of our bonds will be \
retired; the work has been completed for
which they were issued; and this work
is not for this generation, or this people alone. !
but for all those who cast their lots with us or
succeed us. By issuing “ bonds,” these will
contribute to this public work, from which
they will derive the same benefit which we
promise ourselves. J. B. S.

Mr. Editor : — At your request in the
Forest News, I will give you the news of this
part of the county, and the views I entertain
in regard to the proposed change in the Har
mony Grove and Jefferson road and Court
House question. &c.
I have traveled over tho Blue Ridge at Te
senty and Unacov gaps several times, and I
can say truthfully, that there is no place on
either gap of so steep a grade as there is on
the Harmony Grove road. Ingoing to Har
mony Grove. I have frequently had to empty
out my family, and they would walk up the
hill the other side of the creek at Mrs. Bor
ders’. In had weather, a team cannot pull
more than a fourth of a load over this road,
and I think it a disgrace to Jackson county.
This road is one of the most important in the
county, and should, of necessity, be a good
one. Now. Mr. Editor, Jackson county is
one of the best landed counties in the State,
but I must sav she has very poor roads ; and
we all know of what importance good roads
are to a community. I learn that the new
road from Mr. J. M. Potts’ to Mr. Nash’s, by
Burns’ mill, has enemies. Now, this should
not be: as I think this road is a necessity.
And if the change injures any one. let them
get pay from the county ; she is plenty able
to pay for good roads.
I fully endorse tho plan and suggestion of
our worthy Ordinary in regard to anew
Court House. I also endorse “Jackson” in
his letter in the last Forest News; it is so
plain and to the point. lam for good roads
ami anew Court House. Do nut pay any
attention to those men who oppose good roads
and the new Court House. I think our crop
prospects are ten per cent,, more flattering in
uid around the Apple Valley P. O. The
weather is much better for our bottoms than
;ist. spring. Wheat looks well ; also oats.
V few of our fanners have corn with six
blades, and Irish potatoes eight inches high.
The good people have made up.about $500.00.
md they are now building a nice little church
near Harris’ shop, and Rev. Me-srs. Cran
ford and Deavors will hold service the first,
time the tfh Sabbath in this month. It will
not be competed then, but soon after, we hope.
Phe name of th 1 church is “ Bethany.’’
I feel that a time is coming, and is
near at hand. Th • Bible teaches that, when
the wicked is in pow - the country mourns.
I feci that our politics are better, and our
currency is better, and t o religious tone is
improving. So, let ns hop • that t his year
the good Lord will smile on us. and give us
a bountiful harvest and fruit vonr. so that,
-nan and beast may have plenty to live upon
becoming year. JUSTICE.

Editor Fc rest .News : —As there has been
othing said concerning our section since M.
P. C. left us, perhaps it would not be out of
order to give the readers of the News a few
terns in regard to how we are getting along
up in this part of the moral vineyard.
A good many of the farmers of this section
arc done planting corn—especially those who
have upland farms—while a few of the smart
est are through planting cotton seed. But
this week will tie the main cotton planting
week.
Wheat does not look so very promising in
this section as we would like to see. It is
being injured very badly by the fly. Oats
look small; but since the reemt showers,
they are beginning to come out rapidly.
Many of the people of our section are plani
ng too much cotton, to the utter neglect of
the raising of grains. If we would abandon
the habit of planting so much cotton, and
raise enough corn, wheat and oats for home
consumption, could we not ret a better price
for what cotton we uakt ? Indeed, we could.
I hope the time > not. far distant when w;
will sec the e mr of our ways, and do better.
Tne new dimvli at Holly Spring is so far
complete i that Rev. Frank Rutherford (P. C.)
holds services in if on the 2d Saturday and
Sun ay in each month. Frank is a good
preacher, and the people around and about,
iolly Spring arc well pleased to have him
•>me among them. Rev. Thomas Priohett
l-o preaches to us on the 3d Sabbath in each
iionth. So. Mr. Editor, you see we don’t
a- k for preaching.
We also have a flourishing Sabbath-school
n fiiil blast. aHy superintended by W. R.
ilines and assisted by L. T. Watkins, which
udicatcs great good to the children of our
-ectiou.' John W. Griffeth conducts a sing
ing class in connection with the Sabbath
school. John is a good vocalist, and deserves
to be complimented.
Last, but not least, we have a Lodge of
Good Templars at Holly Spring, which nlim
ners about DO members. The Lodge is in a
Nourishing condition, and has done, and is
doing, great good for this section, it being
composed of the very best material the coun
try affords.
The County Grand Lodge of Good Tem
plars meets with Kidd Lodge. No. 461, at
Holly Spring, on the 11th of May. We an
ticipate a grand time on that occasion.
Perhaps I have written too much already,
so I will desist for this time. More anon.
