The Carrollton liens have also caught the excitement, and are determined to do< their duty. It was but a week or two ago, we were shown a hen egg, nearly as large as a goose’s, and now we have been shown this week, by Mr. R. L. Edgeworth of this place, a dual egg, put up on the regular Siamese twin style. These eggs are about the size of par tridge eggs, and are joined at their small ends, where there is a slight tie pression, the whole being two and a half indies long. We solemnly call upon Barron of the Franklin News, to show his hand, otherwise.we shall claim the championship for Carrollton hens.

Carrollton Literary Society.— The young gentlemen of Carrollton met in the Ordinary’s office on Thurs day evening, for the purpose of organ izing a literary club. Mr. L. P. Mandeville .being ehoisen president pro tern, called the meeting to order, and appointed Messrs. Smith and Bla lock, to draft a constitution. On mo tion Mr. Samuel Brown was elected President, Mr. Owen Smith Vice President, and J. J. Julian Secretary and Treasurer. The club will bo known under the name and Style of “The Carrollton Literary Society,” and will meet every Thursday even ing. The necessary steps were taken for the collection of a library, and the following question adopted for the next discussion : “Is the plan of soli citing membership the best means of building up this society ?’ ; The so ciety then adjourned until next Thurs day evening. J. J. Juiian, Sect. April 11 ih, 1872. Personal.— We had the pleasure of a call on last Wednsday from Mr. J. C. Grow, who is on a visit to his old home and relatives. Mr. Grow is at present a student at the Theological Seminary, Columbia Ac, where he is preparing himself for the Presby teran ministry. Wo are glad to re port him in excellent health and look ing exceedingly well. Printer’s Rules. —The following rules phould be strictly observed by person f, having occasion to visit a printing office: 1. Enter softly. 2 Sit down quietly. 3. Subscribe for the paper. 4. Pay for it in advance. 5. Don’t touch the type. (>. Keep six feet from the devil. 7. Don’t talk to the compositors. 8. Hands off manuscript. 0. Don’t carry off the exchanges. 10. Never beg a paper. Gentlemen observing these rules wlvpn entering the office will greatly oblige the editor, and not fear the devil. Ladies who sometimes bless us for a few minutes with their presence are not expected to keep these rules strict ly. Bows unaccompanied by their fath ers are requested to keep their pock ets and mouth shut. Girls are ex empt from this rule. The Local Paper. All intelligent persons admit the im portance of a good local paper. Such a journal is worth fifty to a hundred dollars to every commercial man in the town in which it is published, even if he never puts an advertisement in it. If he is a judicious advertiser, it is worth still more to him. It is the lo cal paper that does more than any one interest in building up a town.— If a good, one, every citizen is indebt ed to it. But the local paper must be supported either at home or from abroad by advertising patronage. The subscriptions are insignificant in the support of a paper, only to make it a good advertising medium. If the local merchants do not sup port it, it must draw its support from abroach The more of its patronage it is forced to get abroad from enter prising advertisers, the more business is drawn from the community in which it is published. The best thing, there fore, a community can do is to sustain then' local paper, and not to force it to seek advertising patronage from for eign merchants who seek trade at the expense of the local merchants. Merchants and business men ought to be sagacious enough to see these points, and act accordingly. Sustain the local paper liberally, but judicious ly, an< ! n °t force it to seek patronage from more enterprising men abroad. I».e more foreign advertisements ap pear in the local paper, the more the trade of such towns will be attracted to enterprising business houses abroad. Business men too often fail to see their own interests in their disposition to be a “penny wise and a pound fool ish.”—La Orange Reporter. Governor Smith and the Land Scrip of Georgia—A Full State ment of the Case. Editors Atlanta Constitution: —By an act, approved July 2, 1862, -Cou - gress granted to the several States an amount of public land, to be appor* tioned to each State in quality equal to 30,000 acres for Senator and Repre sentative in Congres to which the States #re respectively entitelj by apportionment under the census of 1860. Under this act, the proportion due to Georgia was 270,000 acres. By the terms of the grant, tin fund is to remain undiminished forever, and the interset must be inviolably appro priated to the endowment, suppor 1 and maintainance of at least one col lege to bo established within five years after the date ot this act ; but by a subsequent act, further time was given until the 2nd day of July, 1872, to the States which had not accepted under this act. The leading object of this was declared to be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the me chanic arts, in such manner as the Legislature may prescribe, in order to promote the liberality and practi cal education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life. By a subsequent section of Congress, an exception is made, which allows a sum not exceeding ten pjjr centum of the fund to be expended in the purchase of lands for sites, or ex perimentM farms, whenever authorized by the Legislature of the State ; but this is coupled with an inhibition against the appropriation of any part of the fund to the purchase, erection or repairs of any building or build ings. By an act of the Legislature of Geor gia, approved March 10th, 1866, the State accepted her portion of the land scrip. By a subsequent act, approved December 12th, 1866, the Governor was authorized to apply for, receive and sell these lands and scrip, and to invest as he might deem besC the proceeds of said sale or sales, in the bonds of this State, and disburse the interest of the investment in support and maintainance of a college as con templated by the act of Congress.— He was further authorized to provide rules and regulations for the organiza tion, government and operation of said college until the next ensuing session of the Qcpeval Assembly, and to do and perform all other such acts as might be necessary and proper to se cure to the State the full benefits contemplated by the act of Congress. During Acting Governor Conley’s brief administration he obtained the said Ignd scrip under the provisions of the foregoing act, and sold it for $243,030-30,000 cash and the balance on eighteen months credit. Such is the condition in which Governor Smith found this scrip interest of the State. He knew that unless a college was organized and put into full operation by the 2d day of July next, the pro needs of this scrip would be forfeited to the General Government. The writer of this article has never conversed with Governor Smith upon the subject embraced, and does not know hi3 reasons for giving the pro ceeds of the sale of this scrip co the State University; bus he feels well as sured that in doing so the Governor has acted with the prudence of wisdom and to the best intents of the agricul tural and mechanical portion of the State. There is no doubt that the actions of other States upon this subject were fully and thoroughly investigated be fore any steps were taken in flie mat ter, for Governor Smith does not act hastily or rashly, but always thought fully, and after due deliberation, look ing to the interest and common wel fare of the people of his native State. lie doubtless saw the action of the great State of blew York on the agri cultural land scrip. If so he found that the Legislature gave this scrip to the State Agricultural Society, who held it near eighteen months, and af ter a vain attempt to establish an agri cultural college, returns it to the State. It was then given to the Cornell Uni versity at Ithica, under the auspices of which its investment lias proved successful beyond the most sanguine expectation of the warmest anticipa tions of its beneficial results. In Kentucky, where this scrip was given to the State University, near Lexington, he could see that the most extensive mechanical and manufactur ing shops to be found in the AYest, ave carried on and operated by the students of the University, and under these auspicies are manufactured the best and most approved patterns of mechanical and agricultural imple merits, such as have given precedence to this country as one of invention and progress. These implements scat tered throughout the North and South tell truly of the advantages that have arisen from, the placing of the scrip funds in the hands of a university.— In addition to these manufactures, there is successfully managed, near the same place, a large and fine experi mental farm, once the home of Ken tucky’s learned son, Henry Clay. The Missouri State University, too, was the recipient of this endorsement of land scrip, aud is to-day standing proudly among the peerage of such institutions, the wealth and honor of whose States spring from agricultural -and mechanical pursuits. In this con nection, it may'not be out of place to mention that in all but three excep tions, the colleges or universities of the States have received tho benefits of this agricultural landscrip provided for by the act of Congress as referred to. Under these ciroumstauces Goverr nor Smith has undoubtedly performed this public duty, due from him to the people of Georgia, without in the least way consulting his own personal feel ings. As the Chief Executive of the State he has taken into consideration the advantages arising from making the disposition he hgs of the land scrip, and we can easily conceive the great and lasting benefits arising from this action, The State University, already grandly eloquent in its history of achievements, ishail, with this endow ment and its new advantages, yet be come the Mecca to which the eyes of genius and labor will not look in vain, and from which the pilgrim scholar shall turn away laden with the just award of its beneficence In this country, Agricultural Col leges are, as yet, experiments; yet, with ex-Gov. Charles J. Jenkins as President of the distinguished Board of Trustees, and Chancellor Lipscomb at the head of an able and learned Faculty, what may we not expect but the full realization of all that Governor Smith had anticipated and striven for in his disposition of the land scrip of the State. Agricultural. Summer is coming and our Devil has begun to inquire aboijt Bob Up shur’s big water- mejons. JSSaT' Squires Austin and Cobb have returned from Douglass Superior Court. The visit of the young ladies to our office on last Wednesday was duly appreciated by the Devil, as he was spouting poetry all day yesterday. From the Newuan, Herald. Carroll Superior Court. We attended the April Term of Carroll Superior Court. During our trip to Carrollton we observed closely the indications of thrift and improve ment along the line qf railway now building. Soon after crossing the Chattahoochee, we arrived at Gilbert’s Cross Roads, and were greatly sur prised to witness so man# evidences of a rising town. If the name were changed, and enterprising men should “ take hold," a town on this spot ex ceeding the present dimensions of the county town would soon he a reality. From this point to Carrollton new houses are being built, and every thing the traveler sees shows the peo ple are wide awake, and the railroad is calling into life more than ordinary energy and activity. Carrollton, too, knows the iron horse is coming. The citizens are building new houses painting and enlarging old ones, and placing over the entrances to their business houses attractive signs. In other words Carrollton is becoming a city, for as we heard re marked, she has already three things always found in a city, and seldom seen elsewhere ; a printing press, a German merchant and an abundance of mud. By-the by, she has cause to be proud of the first and second. Her Times is a live paper, conducted with skill and energy, and merits a liberal support at the hands of business men and others ; the merchant referred to is a gentleman of enterprise, and ac quisition to any community; her mud, however, is very common. We should mention in this connection that mine host of the Carrollton Hotel, Air. A. J. Daniel, is the right man in the right place. He is one of the very few men who know how to keep hotel. To sum up in a few words, Carroll county is progressing, and ere long will be one of the most populous and wealthy counties in the State. Court was held by the Judge of the Circuit No very important questions of law were settled, yet every case ready for trial was tried by Thursday evening, when Court adjourned. One decision made by His Honor may be of some public interest : The Ordinary of the county refused to pay John H. Caldwell, Judge of the late Senatorial Court, the portion of his salary due by Carroll county. At the instance of Air. Caldwell, the Ordi nary was served with a Jtfcmdanius, The Ordinary answered and gave as c&uscj for his refusal to order the sal ary of Caldwell paid— Ist. AYantof consideration. Cold well held no courts. 2nd. The act creating the Court was passed more than forty days after the first day of the session of the Leg islature, which had not been prolong ed by a two-thirds vote of each house judge AY right held— -Ist That the first could not be pleaded in a case like the present. 2nd. That the question involved in the second was one of oath and con science with the Legislature, aud not a question for the Courts. The Ordinary was directed to order the salary paid. Union Republican Meeting in Carroll. In accordance with previous notice, a portion of4ho Union Republican party of this county met-in the Court House. Ou motion H. W, McDaniel was called to the Chair, and Michael Good son requested to act an Secretary. Judge W. B. Bracewell, being call ed upon, explained the object of the meeting briefly and appropriately. Whereupon, the following resolutions were offered by B. M. Long, and unanimously adopted, viz : Resolved, That we heartily endorse the administration of General Grant, in the enforcement ©f the laws, the faithful collection of the revenues, the discharge from office of all sinecures, and the consequent reduction of tfie public debt, of about 300 millions dollars, in three years; and at the same time reducing the internal taxes eighty millions per annum. By opposing repudiation in all its forms; thereby restoring the national credit. All of which have resulted in a degree of prosperity to the people, hitherto un_ paralleled by any former administra tion. We therefore favor his renomi nation, and election to the high oflioe he now holds. Resolved, That we recognize, and approve the great principles of the National Union Republican party, as embodying all that is worth preserv ing of the late Whig and Democratic parties. Chief among which are: 1. “ Protection of person and prop erty is the paramount duty of all Gov ermnents, and in consideration of which paramount allegiance is due from every citizen to the general Gov ernment.” Lecce, we approve of the late laws of Congress, for the snppres fion of violence, and the protection of the citizens in any part of the United States, 2. “ A tariff for Revenue, .gffording incidental protection to home manu factories)” and especially do wp need such protection in the Southern States, under our changed condition, for the purpose of building manufactories in our midst, and diversifying labor which will thereby elevate, and dig nify the laboring classes, and advance our National prosperity. 3. “ The distribution of the proceeds of the publie lands, among tli£ several States, for the purpose alone of estab i shiny, and supporting a general system ot free schools,” as advocated by the great departed Statesmen, Clay, Web ster and others. We qlso think that the strictest economy should be observed in the administration of our St#te affairs, by reducing the salaries of officers, and other employees, to the .lowest possi ble standard; thereby the better to enable the Legislature to make the necessary appropriations for school purposes, believing as we do, that un less such reduction is made the people will be unwiling to bear the taxaton necessary to support such high sala ries; pay the public debt, and sus tain an efficient system of common schools, now still more necessary, by the large increase of indigent children, made so by the casualties of the late \yar. 4. “ Internal improvement by the general Government,” in order to de velop her great National resources, strengthen her commercial and mitita jy power in time of war. Resolved, That we approve of the present system of National Banking, affording, as it does, a safe and uni form currency to the people in all parts of the country, and tending to strength en the general Government, and weak ening that pernicious doctrine, called “ State Sovereignty,” which has heretofore caused so much trouble and suffering to our people. Resolved, That we favor an honest, faithful and economical administration of Government, both State and Feder al. Holding all officials and em ploy ces to a strict accountability, meting out condign punishment to such as may be guilty of embezzlement, defalcation or other malfeasence in office, regardless of party name, or profession. With this view, we favor a thorough inves tigation of the alleged frauds of our late officials, and others, and think that such of them as have left the State, should at once return, and vindicate themselves against the charges. Otherwise, they will, and should be regarded as guilty. Resofotd, That we consider the late action of our Legislature, in suspend ing the payment of interest on all bonds of the State, not presented within a given time, as unwise, and unjust to holders, and smacking too strongly of repudiation, which neces sarialy had the effect to nearly rain the credit of our great State. The following named persons were, appointed to represent our county in the ITniop Republican Convention, to be held in Macon, on the Bth day of May next: B. M. Long, W. W. Merrell, R. T. McCurdy, A. H. Harrison, Dr. John Costin, S. T. Sims, J. R. Thomason, & H. W. McDaniel and George West. The following resolution was offered by Judge Bracewell, and unanimously adopted: Resolved , That we recommend to the favorable consideration of our par ty, the “Atlanta Whig,” and the “American Union,” at "Macon, and think they should receive the liberal supportof our party. Resolved, That the Secretary fur nish a copy of these proceedings to the Atlanta Whig, American Union and the Carroll County Times, with a request to publish. The meetino then adjourned. *’ '■■■s W.

This fapt, however, shall not deter y,s from saying what Aye think of anew addi tion to the Materia Medica to which our attention has been recently direc ted. We refer to Dr. J. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters, a remedy which is making its way into more families just now than all the other advertised medicines put together.— There seems to be no question about the potency of its tonic and alterative properties, while it possesses thegreat negative recommendation of contain ing neither alcohol nor mineral poison. That it is a specific for Indigestion, Biiliousaess, Constipation, and many complaints of nervous origin, we have reason to know; and we are assured on good authority that as a general invigo/anl. regulating and purifying medicine, it has no equal. It is stated that its ingredients, (obtained /rom the wilds of California,) are new to the medical world; and its extraordi nary effects certainly warrant the conclusion that it is a compound of agents hitherto unknown. If pop ularity is any criterion, there can be no doubt of the efficiency of the Vin egar Bitters, for the sale of the article is immense and continually increas ing. 4w GEORGIA, arroll OUNTY. J. S.
