Rusty Wheat.
While in our office not long since Mr.
Henry Merck related the following incident.
We were speaking about rust in wheat, and
the fact that when the wheat had it bad it
would cover the shoes and clothing when
walking through it. Ho said that he remem
bered one year in particular since the war,
he had a piece of wheat that the rust had
completely ruined. That when working other
fields near it, two young white colored hounds
that he had would go in the wheat and jump
rabbits, that in running about in the wheat
they would become completely covered with
the rust, and instead of being white they
were red. Sometimes they would get separat
ed and meet each other outside of the wheat
patch, whenever this occured they would
have a big fight, each thinking the other a
strange dog that had intruded himself where
he was not wanted.
A Good Scare-Crow-
Bill Pinson has manufactured one of the
best scare-crows we know of, it is in the shape
of a man, being made out of a suit of old
clothes stuffed. He has it stuck up on an
out house at the back of his yard, and the
thing is so natural that twenty yards you can
hardly tell it from a real person standing up
on the roof of the house. Just before the
erection of the scare-crow a sewing machine
a crent had been around to see Bill about a
machine, but be was not at borne. Ihe next
time he came lie espied the scare crow, so
driving up to the house he was told again
that Mr. Pinson was not at home. Yes, but
be is, for I saw him. Where ? enquired Mrs.
Pinson, out yonder standing on the roof of
a house. The truth was revealed to him
gently, and he made his departure.
Cutting Scrape-
We neglected last week to make a note of
a serious°cutting scrape which happened last
Saturday night a week ago, betwen Mr. Jim
Wood, and a son of Mr. Tom Bennett. Both
the young men were at a debating society
over near" Woods Camp Ground when the
row occured, which resulted in Jim Wood
cutting Bennett in several places with a
pocket knife.
There had been some hard feelings betwen
the young men before the row, what occasion
ed it we did not learn. Meeting at the
debating society that night, they had some
words, and soon engaged in a fight when
voting Wood did the cutting. It was thought
that Bennett would not live, so serious were
his wounds, but at last accounts he was
slowly recovering. Wood made his escape
and has not been found yet-
White County Boom.
An interesting letter in regard to the
RECENT DISCOVERIES OF GOLD IN WHITE COUN
ty— NECESSITY FOR MORE COURTS &C.
f\ie northern portion of White county Ga.
has assumed a boom, almost equal to the
Sherman or Blaine boom. The difference
between them is not worth attention. The
boom in \\ bite county is gold ; the other is
greenbacks and power. The portion of the
county mentioned above in former times seem
ed fit, only for scenery and to incite inspira
tion, but now capitalists are traversing the
hills of White for the purpose of investing in
lands and for the purpose of digging gold.
Anew impetus has recenth' been given to
mining operations in-White, due to the fact
of recent discoveries of great value of gold.
Prominent among the fortunate, or unfortu
nate ones, you may determine, are the
Lumsden boy 9in Nacoochee Valley. Jessie
and John Lumsden own between 350 and
400 acres of land in the Valley, and prior to
the first of March last were in debt, and prob
ably destined to have hardships like the com
mon run of mankind. The last Friday in
tebruary these boys discovered quite a rich
deposit of gold on their premises near the
dwelling. They work two hands besides
themselves : their expenses up to the present
time is not as much as $200.00 and they
have secured some 4000 pennyweights of gold
an average of about 40 pennyweights per
day. L hey have paid out of debt, and their
prospects for millionaires in the future are
good. The gold in this (Richardson’s mines
on Dukes Creek) is not over three feet under
ground, and is found in pieces from the size
of a pound and a half in weight down to
•pieces the size of bird shot. The writer saw
one piece in the shape of a fish, weighing
pennyweights, or pounds, which was
the pure stuff, worth about 1)6 or 97 cents
per pennyweight. It was currently reported
that these boys have been offered $30,000 or
$40,000 for their lands.
The recent discoveries of gold in White
ha 9 made that county of interest and value
in all its parts. The northrn portion is dot
ted over with gold mines and the southern
part abounds in fine lands for agriculural
purposes. For instance Mossy Creek bot
tom land is worth $50.00 per acre and some
of it can’t be had at that price.
1 mention one farmer, Christopher Mead
ows, who owns about 400 acres on and near
Mossy Creek, and probably has 100 acres of
bottom land in one body. White is blessed
at present with plenty of hog and hominy.
White is now a county of much litigation.
The miners in the mountains wash the debris
on to the valley lands and that brings about
these tedious damage cases. One important
case at the recent term of White Superior
Court, not of the nature alluded to above,
was the States vs. Herbert D. Ingersol, who
was charged with burning a store house at
Loudsville in White county. After two days
he was acquitted.
Speaking of litigation in White, which is
increasing, reminds us that in most of the
counties composing the Western Circuit the
time allotted for them is not sufficiently long
in which to complete the business therein.
Now something will have to be done to dis
pense with the litigation thu3 increasing.
We will have to create anew circuit, or have
a county court in most of our counties. I
have mentioned this fact to cause you to
think and give expression to your opinions
as to how you will meet this question and
what remedy will you adopt, it is a ques
tion that cannot be ignored, which will you
have county courts or more circuits. Or have
you other and better remedies to suggest?
if so suggest them then. Respectfully.
Wra. 11. S.
Temperance Boom.
Mr. Editor: —The citizens of Jefferson
and vicinity are considerably excited over
the prospect of a railroad, just now ; and, duly
so, we think.
A road is much needed and ought to be
built; but many who should help, and help
liberally, having no confidence in the success
of such an enterprise, consequently do noth
ing but discourage and dissuade others who
would otherwise help.
Just now something else is exciting the
minds of more people than railroads. They
are not holding mass meetings, nor giving bar
becues ; no long winded speeches, nor lengthy
newspapers articles are heard from them
but they are at work, not secretly but quietly
and industriously.
They have been thinking but are now
acting. If their design is accomplished it
will be of tenfold more value to Jackson
county and especially to Jefferson than a
railroad.
It will do more to enhance the valueof prop
erty, lessen taxes, build up schools, and raise
the moral and social status efour people than
it is possible for a railroad to do. We be
lieve that design can and will be accomplish
ed and at no distant day—before your rail
road whistle is heard.
But what is this engrossing question that
is absorbing just now, county politics and
looks to something grander and better than
a railroad ? All who read the News have
noticed that the Ordinary has been ordering
elections in several Militia Districts to allow
the people to vote “ for” or “ against restric
tion” of license to sell spiritous liquors ; and
you will see more of those orders soon.
The same readers have seen that Clarkes
boro has held her election, aud now a glorious
victory. They will hoar of similar victories
in other districts soon.
We believe that a majority of the voters
of Jackson county are willing and even
anxious to vote “ for” restriction. Never be
fore in the history of our county were the
people so nearly a uniton this subject. Men
who have always opposed any, and every
effort at Temperance reform are taking a
lively, active, leading post in this canvass.
Uncle Dick Stathem says if a man had men
tioned such a thing to five years ago he
would have been insulted, now he holds a
list of petitioners and is canvassing. What
does all this show ? It shows that we have
a sound, healthy, moral sentiment among our
people on the subject of Temperance. It
shows that they are tired of so many drunken
sons, corrupted morals; so much crime and
reproach. They are tired of paying out hun
dreds of dollars every year as taxes to pay
| witnesses and jurors to try criminal cases that
are never tried or if tried cost too dearly.
You railroad men examine our court re
cords. Trace the origin of all our criminal
cases and their cost to the county. Find out
how much whisky has cost the county in ten
years. It will exceed the amount you arc
required to raise to ensure your road- There
is no doubt al>out this ; make your figures
and satisfy yourselves. The eyes of the
people arc open ; they sec and will submit
to it no longer. The wonder is that they have
not seen it sooner.
We hope that every district in the county
that has not already done so will petition for
an election at once, and go to work in good
earnest. Scarcely one person out of every
ten refuse to sign these petitions.
The fruit of temperance work by organiz
ed societies is manifest in this bold step.
Temperance societies are weakening in this
section of the country, but not the cause.
These societies have accomplished their mis
sion, and must die, just as does the plant
when its fruit is matured. All party organi
zations, political or other wise, that aim at
reform must cease to exist when such reform
is accomplished. Occasional.
Stack and Bonds.
Mr. Editor:—l am glad to see a dispo
sition manifested among the people to dis
cus the fence question, we have had figures
enough to convince the most incredulous if
figures would do the work, the way to cure
the sick is to first find the seat and cause of
the disease and then there is a chance to find
and apply the remedy, the only objection
which I have heard is this, that the land
holders will by that means compel the tenant
either to sell his stock or pay for tho privi
lege of grazing his stock, remove this troub
le and you have made a long stride towards
the object, you may say that this is a lame
notion but that don’t remove the obstacle.
The easiest way to settle that matter in my
judgment is this, let the tenant refuse to work
for or cultivate the land of any and all land
holders who are too mean to furnish his ten
ants with pastures without money and with
out price, and that would soon bring them to
their “ milk.” The land holder who would
not allow his tenants some ofthe profit when
lie had been benefited so mueb by the change,
ought not to be allowed a decent burial
when God sees fit to remove such a wart
from society. lam satisfied that there is
but one greater curse now hanging over this
country and that is the curse of curses the
non tax paying bloated aristocratic, swind
ling bond holders of the United States, who
are drawing daily, the lifeblood of the land
holder, laborer, merchant, printer, mechanic,
widow and orphan, we all fuel his terrible
blood sucking machine when we buy SI.OO
worth of coffee we pay only 32 cts. we pay
every time we light our pipe, on the tobacco
25 per cent on the first cost, on the poor
little match at the rate of 100 per cent
in fact on everything we use. Our revolu
tionary fathers kicked up a fuss about
a little tax on green tea, and a small
tax on paper, if those old fellows who fought
for 8 year3 rather than submit to such a deg
radation could look down and see 40 mill
ions of their descendants submitting to such
outrage, a9 we do daily, they would surely
disown the last one of us or cry out rise in 3 r our
might throw the yoke of hell off and be men.
The remedy for this great evil is to pay the
bondholder in a full legal tender greenback
money to be issued, received, and protected
by the United State Government and never
to he redeemed in gold silver or metal mon
ey of any kind whatever, we grumbled and
growled last fall because we had to build a
new court house in this county, would it not
surprise the citizens of this county to know
that we have paid enough internal “ more
properly infernal" revenue tax every year
since 1865 to build a better court house than we
now have, nevertheless it is true. We send men
to Congress to make laws for our benefit, but
whether we send an organized, independent, or
Radical it is no difference our burdens are
made heavier all the time, does this look like
communism. I believe the modern deflini
tion of that long word is a number of per
sons combining togather for the purpose of
obtaining a living without giving back value
received in labor or something valuable now
according to that does not the bloated bond
holder fill the bill exactly.

Mr. Editor :—As items are scarce T hope
you will pardon this short epistle. We have
had lots of rain and it has put the farmers
behind ; but if it remains clear a week or
two I think we will be able to catch up.
Rust in wheat and oats is causing consid
erable complaint amongst our farmers, I fear
we will make a short crop of these important
articles.
There is a large crop of cotton planted in
our vicinity, some are predicting low prices
for the staple this fail, this will he a great
draw-back on our people. Hands arc scarce
in our section, it is almost an impossibility
to hire one.

dent that it will run right by their doors—
hope it will. Mure anon.

Wlaysville Dots.
JEditou Fokkst News: —Quite a disas
trous fire oecured liere last Wednesday night
between 11 and 12 o’clock. The fire orig
inated in Wallace & Howard,9 blacksmith
shop, just in rear of Carr & Bacon’s store.
Some fire had been left on the forge, which
caught the coal and then spread to the planks
on the side. The fire was under full head
way, before the alarm was given. The wood
shop of J. M. Howard adjoining, was soon
in fiarncs. Nothing was saved from the
blacksmith shop, most of the tools and wagon
work was taken out of the wood shop. Mr.
Howard seems to be very unfortunate, in this
respect,this being the third time that he has
suffered great loss by fire.
Were it not for the manly efforts of our
citizens, there would not have been a build
ing left on the west side of the depot. Too
much praise cannot be paid to all, both white
and colored, for their unceasing perseverance
in conquering the flames. The loss was
quite heavy. The shops will he rebuilt im
mediately and will commence work by first
of the following week.
We are having beautiful weather now ranch
to the advantage of cotton which is growing
finely. Much complaint is heard from rust
in wheat.
Our village was visited last Saturday by a
number of young ladies and gentlemen from
Harmony Grove on their return from Hurri
cane Shoals where the}' had spent the day in
pic nicing.
Our little friend Bob Carr is quite happy
now since he received his new buggy only
one link is required to make his happiness

to lookout.
