The County Court-
The Democrat attempts, as far aa pos
sible, to reflect the wishes of the people,
and, hence, ail along, in response to their
expressed desige, we have anid, let.(3b*
•County Court be. abolished. We couljfi
not do otherwise/ The farming commu
nity almost unanimously protested against
its continuance, while the Grand Jury,
in its general presentments, urged that it
bo abolished. The Democrat being rn
the interest of no party, ring, clique or
class, but the independent mouth-piece of
the people, could do no .less than it has
done.
A great many charges, have beep laid
at the door of the County Court, some
doubtless false, others, perhaps true. It
is, however, a fact that the jail keeps full,
and that many eases of the County Court
are appealed and carried up to the Supe
rior tribunal. It seems, however, from
whaijwf cap team, tha^ * «t>nsijlerabl(e.
number of those who opjioSed the County'
Court are now its . warmest advocates.
They have just leaftted that they cannot
dispense with it—it must be continued. It
is very certain that a. tribunal where
cases can be quickly disposed of.is a neces
sity, and if the County Court supplies’
that necessity we see no reason for the
two years’ howl against it. But upon this
point there is a great diversity of opinion.
Some claim that it is a great saving to the
county, others with equal honesty de
nounce it an expense and as a curse, while
none havefpatiently investigated the mat
ter/ if they have, they have never given
the public the benefit of the figures.
Now-, in order that the whole county
may know all about the workings, the ex
penses, the savings, etc., of the Court un
der consideration, we would urge upon
the Grand Jury, which is supposed to
represent the people, to diligently and
patiently inquire into this matter and true
presentment make to the people. They
must not stop at generalities, but give a
clear and unabridged statement, from the
sources where the facts and figures ought
to be recorded. The Grand Jury have the
power and it is their duty to compel a
true rendition of the aecounts-of the coun
ty, and if they meet next week and do
not, through their presentments, inform
the tax payers of the actual condition of
affairs, not only in the County Court but
all the other departments and offices, they
Will have been recreant to the trust repos
ed in them ; and we do hope that His
Honor, Judge Wright will impress the im
portance of Ibis matter upon their minds
iu his Charge to them.
Now that the people are divided on the
question; of the County Court, we shall
take no side whatever in the matter, trust
ing strictly to »lieir good judgment to set
tle it as they deem best; hut ai the same
time, as we have often said before, the
columns of The Democrat are always
open for the discussion of the subject, pro
and con.
Let there be Unanimity.
In a few days the Stockholders of the
Atlantic and Gulf Railroad Company will
be called upon to eject a Board of Direc
tors and a President to manage the affairs
of the Company for the ensuing year. It
would bG unnecessarily tedious, and re
quire more time than we have at our dis
posal this week, to recount the various
and many reasons presenting themselves
why the old Board, and particularly the
able and distinguished President, should
be re-chosen. One reason cf itself—even
though there was dissatisfaction with the
present administration, which is far from
being the case—we think eminently suffi
cient : In these critical times any change
would prove extremely hazardous to the
Company’s interest.
We have not been prompted to pen this
article because we believe that Col. S.crev-
and his present Board will meet with se
rious, if any, opposition at the approach
ing election, nor because we have the
slightest doubt of their prompt re-election,
but for a reaaon which must, upon reflec
tion, suggest itself as a most excellent one
to every friend of the road. That Col.
Screven has a scheme in hand for the ex
tension of the road, and its consequent
prosperity thereby, we feel assured. That
this plan has been temporarily frustrated
by circumstances attendant; upon the
present condition of the country, we feel
qually certain ; but, so implicit is our
confidence in the ability and good judg
ment of the President and his subordi
nates, we are firmly impressed with the
conviction that his plans will at no distant
day be consummated to that extent which
will place the road upon the highway to
prosperity, and finally make it what
was designed by its original projectors.
To do this, the President and Board must
have the support of every friend to the
road. Let them be re-elected unanimously,
and feel, when thus re-elected, that they
have the earnest, cheerful and-qteliberate
support of every shareholder in the
Company. This, then, is the reason why
wre speak on this subject—to further, as
far as it lies in our power, the securing to
the chief executive and Directory of the
Road that unanimity of support, and that
confidence of the owners of the road, so
essential to the prosperity of the great en
terprise in the future.
We feel that we can speak for this par
ticular county at least when we say, that
in the management of the Company's af
fairs we have nothing to condemn, bat
everything to commend, and that in the
whole county there will not be found a
man but vyill vote for the unanimous re-
election of the old Board entire.
To Cure Rheumatism
Take dry tobacco leaves, such as are
kept drying in the store house of the grow
er, spead oyer them soft soap and then ap
ply them wherever the pain is ; as fast as
they dry, renew them. As soon as tfoe
patient vomits two or three times remove
them, stive a warm wash, then rub dry
and bind all the parts that hava been cov
ered witb tobacco with flannel wet in
whisky, give the patient a warm whisky
toddy and let biin or her sleep.
To Visitors and Immigrant*
As we have heretofore several times
mentioned, there are several Northern and
Western visitors in our city. These ladies
jaud gentlemen are here to escape the
’rigors of tlieNorthern winter, and express
them solve* *< delighted with our splendid
climate ; and especially are they pleased
with our town and people, apd say they
never 'dated a more hosprtabteand clever
city. In conversation "with one of the
editors of this paper the other day, a
Northern gentleman said : “Why sir, we
didn’t know you had such a town, and
didn't ilream of the advantages you could
offer to visitors. We will fill you up next
winter. I have traveled over Southwest
ern Georgia and I readily give Bainbridge
the advantage over any town I have seen."
We have a good climate ; our town is
extremely healthy—we challenge the
record with any town or city in this sec
tion—and.free from malarial diseases ; our
water is good, and the visitor has the ad
vantage of both cistern and well water,
the latter heiug perfectly free from lane-,
stone ; we have four good churches, Metho
dist, Baptist, Episcopal and Presbyterian;
we have a daily mail, and prompt and
correct post office officials; first-class
board can be obtained at from twenty to
twenty-five dollars per month ; we have
what is conceded by everybody to be the
best hotel in this section ; we have a very
pretty little theatrical hall, where troupes
very often exhibit; we have two splendid
,ivery stables, and the place furnishes
some splendid drives; we have a generous,
hospitable, clever set of people, and when
visitors come we do not pry into their
business, asking their politics or religion,
but extend to them a sound welcome-
To settlers in search of homes, we say
that some of the very best lands to pe
found in this section of the conntfy are
situated in this county, and can be bought
at exceedingly low figures. The planters
are honest and clever, and will welcome
all who come among, them with upright
purpose and intent. "We know of lands
in this county which are capable, when
properly cultivated, of producing a bale
of cotton to the acre, and corn and. other
products in proportion, and we don’t
think the settler will find a more adapt
able and suitable place to settle, and
make a permanent home.
Any further information on the subject
will be cheigfully given by either of the
editors of this paper, if addressed on the
subject.
Iu JSeinoriam-
Died, In Decatur county, on the 1st day
of January, 1876, of Typhoid Fever, Ella,
daughter of .Judge J. B. Junes, of Blakely,
Early county, and beloved wife of Jacob
Harrell, aged 18 years and 24 days.
The subject of this brief sketch was a sin
cere, consistem and devoted member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, her daily walk
being one of quiet, earnest piety— in ber
happy home, affection and tender regard for
others were woven inseparably in her char
acter—a loving wife, devoted sister and
daughter. But a few months before Death,
the insatiate archer, invaded this peaceful
circle, she had pledged at the altar the de
votion of her pure heart, as a loving wife—
ere the bridal garlands had faded, while
life was brightest with its allurements and
expectations, calmly her spirit suviglit ref
uge from the trials and sorrows of earth’s
troubled vale, and fled to unite with the
great thro ng of the redeemed beyond the
River of Death.
The golden cord is severed, the eye is
closed in death, the endearing smile has
faded from view forever, the gentle - "tender
grace will never return, her dear voice is
hushed in death. Yet the sweet aroma
that enwreathed her daily walk will live
and linger long after the flowers are with
ered and dead.
To the bereaved husband, afflicted father
and family, we tender our sincere condo
lence in this their day of anguish and deso
lation.
The loving, the dearest, they too pass away,
Too tender for earth, its trials, its caxe,
Opr idols seem born to fade and decay,
With God and the blest transported to share,
Farewell lov ing one, in sorrow and gloom
Home’s altars are robed for the missing,
the dear,
Though laid with tears in the dark, silent
tomb,
Thy spirit’s removed from trouble and
fear. *

Minutes of South Georgia Confer
ence-
We are indebted to Rev. R. M. Lock-
wood for a copy of the minutes of the
South Georgia Conference, recently held
at Americus, which is the most elaborate
of any ever before published. It is a full
and complete history of the proceedings
of the Conference ; but, in addition, fur
nishes the statistical reports of all money
raised during the Conference year, show
ing by whom raised, and for what pur
pose, as well as value of all church prop
erty, where located, <fcc. Indeed, it is full
of general information in regard to the M.
E. Church. It is a fine work, and reflects
considerable credit upon its editor, Rev.
S. S. Sweet Those of our Methodist
friends throughout the county who de
sire this work, should call on Mr? lock-
wood and get it at once.
‘Flint-’’
We notice in the Savannah News, of
Saturday, a “Letter from Bainbridge,’’
over the above signature. It is. a well-
written letfer, and faithfully endeavors to
tell of the beauties, advantages, &c., of
our city. It has been suggested to' us,
however, that the first paragraph in the
letter was probably intended as a reflec
tion upon the hon^e organ. If so, we
have no objections to offer, being aware
that the status or well-doing of a newspa
per cannot be seriously injured or hin
dered by ficticious correspondents.
The Stnm Bost Monopoly
The Central Line of Steamers now car
ry cotton from Bainbridge to Columbus
for 25 beats per bale, and other freight la
proportion. This is quite reasonable, a^
if the Big Foot Line was not in exis
tence, tre should say that this reduction
in freight was due to the generosity of
the Central Line. The Central Line has
been an oppressive monopoly lor many
years, and have succeeded before this in
driving competing boats from the river by
the very same tactics now displayed.
Whether the people along the river will
allow h to succeed this time remains to be
seen
Before the Big Foot was put upon the
river the Central Line freight tariff was
very much higher than, the tariff of that
steamer. Let all who have to patronize
the river remember this fact, and patron
ize the Big Foot, a steamer owned by
parties along the river whose interest* are
in having low freight. Don’t be deceived.
If you ship your cotton at 25 cents a bale
this season, and kill off the anti-monopo
ly boat, you’ll be certain to have to keep
time to different music next Fall, and
pitched on the Highest key at that.
An Ancient Advertisement-
There’s nothing new under the sun—even
advertising is a very ancient institution..
Turn back to the fourth chapter of Ruth in
your family Bible, and you will find record
ed in a real estate transaction which took
place in Bethlehem thousands of years ago,
the reference to which runneth as follows
“And he said unto the kinsmen, Naomi, that
is come out of the country of Moab, selleth
a parcel of land which was our brother
Efimelech’s and, I thought to advertise (lice,
saying, buy it before the inhabitants, and
before the eiders of my people.”
Garden Seed.
The best/purest, and largest assortment
of Garden Seed to be found in the city is
at the Drug Store of E. R. Peabody & Co.
Gq there, every body, |to get your supplies.
Full packages at reasonable rates.
McLaucnUn’s Mill-
We visited this institution one day last
week. It is situated one mjle west of the
river and is one of the necessities of the
county. Mr. McLauchlin has the finest
grist mill anywhere to be found, and a
cotton gin which turns out five bales of
jlie staple per day. He has ginned over a
hundred bales so, far and begun very late
in the season.
Mr. McLauchlin,although no machinist,
put up his engine furnace, grist mill, gin,
screw, etc., himself, and we can safely say
that no mechanic could have done a bet
ter job. He has got a good thing of it,
which he justly deserves.
“Search the Scriptures.”
At the request of the Young Men’s
Christian Association, of Bainbridge, the
Rev. Charles D. Campbell will deliver,- in
the Methodist .Church, op next Sunday
evening, January 30th, his sermon op the
text “Search the Scriptures."
Let the churcli he full to overflowing.
Every man, woman and child should hear
this sermon as delivered from the lips of
this truly eloquent divine. It cannot fail
to do good to all who attend with a sincere
desire to be benefitted. We repeat, let
none who are able to attend be absent
from the Methodist Church on next Sun
day evening.
A Problem-
We find in an exchange the following
problem, and will give a handsome prize
to any one who works it out and gives the
proper answer:
A and B go to a batcher’s and buy
between them eighty pounds of meat,
which the butcher values at ten cents a
pound, and for which he wants $8. Now
A takes fifty pounds of meat and B thirty,
and upon examination they agree that A’s
meat is worth one half a ct. a pound more
than B’s. Query:—How much did each
pay the batcher ?
: w» ^ ». a—
Let Us Know-
Is there much small-pox in Savannah ?
If there is, we opine hut few will invest
in the annual dead head stock ride to that
city next month. the News give
some imformation iu regard tq the matter
at once ? The stock-holders meeting is a
good thing for Savannah, and we would
hate to have it fail.
Fire-
A destructive fire occurred at Ninety-
six, S. C., December 21st, by which, four
stores valued at $20,000 were burned. The
further spread of the conflagration, with
probable destruction of the" whole town
and loss of several hundred thousand dol
lars worth of property, ami many lives,
was prevented bv the arrival of a Great
American Fire Extinguisher, an Agent
happening-to come in town at the nick
of tune. For full particulars, see the AV
btville Medium and Nuberry Herald of
the following week.
Mr. P. P. Toale of Charleston. 8, C., is
the General Southern Agent for the Great
American Fire Extinguisher, and will an
