TO the Tax-Payers and Voters
Of Jackson Cour ty.
In ccordnoe with the recommendations
'the Grand Juries. at the last two terms of
the Superior Court of the County, and the
l mnd of a number of citizens for anew
Court-house— together with the necessity—
I also, from the further fact of the County
finance* having reached a firm and substan
tial basia. thereby rendering its credit the
be ,tof securities; and Taxes having been
luced greatly below former rates, with a
rospect of still further reduction, I deem it
|nv duty, as Ordinary of the County, to take
action in the premises
Therefore, in order to prevent Taxes from
bein" heavy and burdensome, and not to
infringe on the sovereign rights which
belong to the people in having a voice
in matters of Taxation, I have thought prop
to issue the following call for an election.
* 11. \V. Bell.
efiOIKUIA, Ja*koa County.
Whereas, by virtue of the authority in me
vested, ns Ordinary of said County—
It is hereby Ordered, That an election be
held— at the different precincts in said Coun
ty, in manner and form as is usual in General
elections, on Wednesday, the Bth day of May,
1878. for the purpose of authorizing the issu
ing of County Bonds, to run twenty years,
to the amount of ten thousand dollars, to be
u# ed for building anew Court-house, provid
„/t it he found necessary to issue that amount
for that purpose. All persons voting at said
election in favor of issuing Bonds, shall write
or have printed on their tickets the words
••For Bonds,” and all persons opposed to the
issuing of Bonds, shall write or have printed
on their ballots the words “Against Bonds.”

This new Methodist church, located on

rapidly approaching completion, and will be,
when finished, a beautiful and substantial
structure. Its dimensions are 30 by 40

will be plastered on the sides and ceiled over
head. It is expected to be near enough fin

May. We understand that the building
committee have not yet succeeded in raising
quite enough to pay for completing the
building, and any contributions will be
thankfully received.
Thieving.
While the family of Mr. James Watson, at

Geo. L. Martin, living about three miles
below Harmony Grove, and took therefrom
some flour, a few pieces of meat, Sec. No

how,) and commenced the delicate operation,

Kissing.
Editor Forest News :—“And he that
betrayed him had given them atoken.”—Mark
14th ch., 44th v.
Kissing is not, nor has ever been, in many
instances, a token of lcvc, or even good feel
ing. Judas betrayed the Saviour with a kiss.
As kissing has become so common in this
country, especially with the young ladies,
and has got to be so fashionable, and is
carried to such an extent, it is actually dis
gusting. Let any close observer of human
nature visit our churches, particularly in the
country, and be acquainted with the people
in the neighborhood, and know of the preju
dices and evil feeling existing between par
ties, even when they go so far as to talk of
one another in a harsh manner, and then see
them, because it is fashionable, meet and
take a hearty kiss. If it isn’t enough to dis
gust any Christian lad}’ or gentleman, I will
give it iip.
I don’t call them all Judases, nor the thou
sandth part of them, but the practice, to say
the least, is very unpleasant. I know there
is many a lovely lady in Jackson county
would be glad if the fashion w. s done away
with, for the}', for manners sake, have to kiss
many they don’t want to kiss. Kissing, if
kissing must be done, is the doty ot the
males. Lenox.
Lotorey Hill, April 2\st, 1878.
Gov. Hampton on Independents.
Your county was the first to adopt the
system of primary elections; be governed
by its result, and allow no independents to
run. Independents may sometimes be good
men, but now they are onr worst enemies.—
Be united in this grand movement, and send
your best men to the Legislature. I urge
you to be united. Do this, and you will find
South Carolina immutably redeemed. I urge
you to do it as the one thing most important.
The contest this year will be for the Legis
lature. That will be the great battle-fold.—
If the Convention*, when it meets, stands
square on the platform of two years ago, and
nominates a conservative ticket. I say that
the Republicans will not put a candidate in
the field, and we will have the grandest tri
umph ever achieved on this continent. By
doing justice to all men, our colored people
will stand by us. I say to yon it is far bet
ter to fail in trying to do right than to suc
ceed in doing wrong. One of the pledges of
that platform was that all men were equal
before the law. I can say that I have favor
ed no race, party or people in the adminis
tration of the laws of the State. I defy any
man to put his finger on a single pledge of
that platform and sav that I have not carried
it out. I intend to walk on in the path that
the Democratic party has blazed out for me.
I cannot deviate from it. I cannot turn to
the right or to the left without being false to
them. I had expected and desired wben my
term of office had ended, to turn over to my
successor South Carolina happy and free.

Letter from Texas.
Starvili.e, Texas, April 17, 1878.
Editor Forest News :—ln compliance
with my promise, I again address you, after
having made ray wagon trip West. We travel
ed through Smith, Vanzant, Rockwall, Dallas,
Gallon, and part of Grayson and Coffman
counties, and saw a rich and beautiful coun
try. after we got through the timber; espe
cially the lands in Rockwall, Calion, Grayson
and Dallas, which looks like the garden spot
of the world. Crops look fine ill that country.
Old farmers tell me ttmt the wheat will make
from 30 to 35 bushels per acre, judging from
its present appearance, and oats from 60 to
100 bushels per acre. I saw wheat that will
have to be cut next week, about waist high,
1 and as thick as it apparently could stand, on
j fields as level as your office floor and from
;50 to 100 acres in a patch, on hog-wallow
i lands as black as a crow, the soil from three
to ten feet deep, and when wet, or in rainy
weather, is as sticky as wheat-doe or putty,
and on this land they can make from 40 to
60 bushels of corn per acre, without rain.
And the funny thing about this country is,
thsy can cultivate 75 acres to the hand. Of
course it is done with the latest improved
machinery for farming. A man simply farms
upon his capital, and he can’t do much with
out his sulky plows and reapers. The most
of the ploughing is done riding, and it looks
mighty nice to me.
Land in those counties range In price from
$2 to SIOO per acre; the difference in price
being not so much from quality as location.
The water in this country is not good to a
man raised in North-East Georgia, except
from cisterns, and that is good anywhere.
L'he towns are lively and full of goods and
trade. Lawyers and doctors and real estate
agents alwajs ready to sell you lands, and
of course they all have the best and cheapest.
The trouble in Texas is, there is too much
land and too many horses. I could have
bought two hundred head of horses the other
lay from one man, for eight dollars per head
—horses that would sell in Jackson county
for from $lO to S6O.
This is a great county for litigation. The
Superior Court has been in session in this
county ever since the second Monday in
March, and in all probability will not adjourn
in three weeks yet. The Federal Court will
convene here in a few days, and will perhaps
hold two months; and besides that, they
have a County Court. If I was a lawyer, and
wanted to get rich, I would come to Texas;
but they would haye to be sharp lawyers to
do well here, for the citizens are generally
sharp and keen, and know very well what
they come here for, and I tell you they are
on the look out.
This country is an extravagant country,
and everybody is expected to have money
here, especially new comers, and a man need
not come here to die without mo ley. There
was a man died in Dallas the other day. and
after they buried him, they found out that he
did not have money to pay for h s coffin, and
they dug him up and took his coffin away
from him, and put him back in the box and
covered him up again, and said that was good
enough for a man in his circumstances. And
so it goes in Texas. It is the best country
in the world, and the meanest; the richest
and the poorest; the hotest an 1 the coldest;
the wetest and the driest; it has its advan
tages and disadvantages, like all other coun
tries, but I tell you North-East Georgia is
hard to beat.
They say that this con itry is as healthv as
any where in the world, but I discover they
are scared up about the scarcity of quinine,
and the price of it. It is getting so high,
they say they don’t know what they will do;
they never knew it to be $5 per bottle but
once before, and that was during the war.
They say the scarcity and high price is caused
by the Eastern war, and they arc anxious for
peace to be made.
I will take one more trip, perhaps 50 or 75
miles, to look at Texas, and then I will be
homeward hound. 11. D. Human.

Tortures that .Xeed not he Endured.
People suffer a great deal of pain unnecessarily.
Among tortures that need not he endured are
those inflicted by the rheumatism and gout, since
the acrid element in the blood which produces
them by contact with the seasitire covering of the
muscles and joints may be eliminated by the use
of that matchless depurent, Hostetler's Stomach
Bitters, before the inflammatory symptoms arc
developed to any great extent. ’When it is con
sidered what excruciating tortures rheumatism
inflicts, and what a tendency it has, when fully
developed, to attack the heart, the advisability of
an early use of such a reliable antidote becomes
at once apparent. The rheumatic vhras is expell
ed from the blood by the increased action of the
kidneys—which act as strainers—produced by the
Bitters, and the sufferer will find, if he uses this
supreme defensive agent, that he will be protect
ed against a return of the agonizing complaint.—
Dyspesia, fever and agne, fiver and bowel com
plaints and other maladies, arc also cured by this
admirable remedy.
