From the Atlanta Daily Herald. TIIE VETERAN HATTER. J. M. lIOLDBKOOK. The name of J. M. Holdbrook is as inseparably connected with Atlanta as her own history with that or the Empire State. Born in Fulton coun ty, and having lived in tiie city for twenty years, a brief review of his life will prove not only interesting, but beneficial to the young men of the day. HIS EARLY LIFE. lii the spring of 1853 Mr. Holbrook, then engaged in the vocation of farm ing, accepted a situation in the dry goods house of B. F. Botnar, receiv ing as pay iiis board and clothing. Shortly afterwards he engaged with Robert Maugham, in the same busi ness, on a salary of sl2 50 per month. Continuing with him but a short time, he was tendered a situation with .las. Doane, merchant, at a salary of $35. lit remained with Mr. Doane until the spaing of 1856, when he was employed by J. A. Taylor, of New York, to take charge ol the first hat store eve r established in Atlanta, re mained with Mr. T. until 1858, when that genil<jpnui failed. Mr. H. then purchased the interest and ESTABLISHED HIMSELF IN BUSINESS. In 1859 lie commenced the manufac ture of hats oil a small scale, in which business he continued until 1868, at which time his business had so in creased that from 75 to 100 hands were continually engaged in the man ufacture of hats of every style and grade. Mr. 11. was the first man that ever manufactured a silk hat in Geor gia REMOVAL FROM ATLANTA. Jn 18G1 Mr. M. moved hisfactory to Mucon, Georgia, where tie remained but a short time; removing from there to Dawson, Georgia, where tie continued until May iB6O, when he came back to Atlanta, occupying a portion oi'Er. Lawshe’sjewelry store, until lie couid rebuild. The building being completed in March, 18GG, lie opened a large stock of tints, caps, furs, Ac.; continued in both the wholesale and retail business until now. STORE ROOM. ® Ilis store rooms on Whitehall street, 100 feet long by 20 feet wide, gives ample evidence of the success that has attended his business. THE FIRST FLOOR of the building is used lor retail pur poses, where the purchaser can select from the varied assortment such an article as lie desires. THE SECOND FLOOR is used for wholesale purposes, and is well stored with every grade and va riety of goods in this line, sufficient to supply the immense demands of trade. The reputation that Mr. Holbrook has established for honesty and fair dealing, together with' his thorough identity with the interests of ids cus tomers, renders him truly the veter an hatter of Atlanta. RICE. The following little article handed us by a friend, contains some valuable suggestions, which we hope will be considered by our agri cultural friends. Rice growing is no untried experiment iu this country, for we have long since proven to our satisfaction, that much ol our low-land, which is unlit for any other crop, will produce this valuable crop in abundance and to the greatest perfection. The great diffi culty heretofore has beeu iu removing the husk, and that has been obviated by the inven tion of a simple machine, we hope our people will cultivate extensively this excellent and wholesome article of food: SOW IS THE TIME TO PLANT RICE. Every farmer should cultivate a patch ol rice Miffieient, at least, for his own family use; and if he will make the experiment, he will lind it a valuable forage crop lor his stock. The val ue and importance ol rice as an article ol lood as well as of commerce does not seem to be understood or appreciated. Resides being more nutrieious and wholesome, it is less lia ble to injury from insects while in the hull, and more bushels to the acre can be grown with less labor than any other grain. There is scarcely a plantation in the Southern Stales, where nee cauuot be grown, yet the largest portion of the consumption of rice iu this country is imported, ail the way from Asia. iu a favorable or wet seasou rice cau be grown on auy dry or hilly land that will make good corn, and can always be growm ou Hat laud too wet for any other crop, aud will yield Irorn HO to 40 bushels per acre. It should be sown as early as practicable to avoid lrost, iu drills say wO inches apart, so that with a small plow or cultivator the weeds and grass cau be kept down. Asa linage crop it should be cut as soou as in the milk. Remove Irorn the held, aud im mediately with a small plow throw a little dirt over the stubble, aud it will sprout uud give you another crop equal to the first. The primitive wooden mortal’ and ptwtlo, heretuiore indisperisible for separatiug the husks or hull from the keraal, aud the main hindrance to the cultivation of rice ou a small scale, is’now superseded by a cheap aud effec tive Rice Uulkr, as simple as & temiiy cofioe ggUl. & W. «*• SUSAN EBERHART. Spann, the wife murderer, of Web ster county, has lately suffered the just punishment of his execrable crime, upon the gallows, with the approving verdict of the whole com munity, without a solitary exception. The facts of the case render his crime one of the most appalling, inhuman, and inexcusable, which has ever yet attracted public attention in Georgia. A j!0-r, bed-ridden, afflicted, helpless woman, and that woman his wife, af ter several ineffectual attempts, was at last brutally murdered by choking her to death with a cord, by himself and his accomplice in this hellish deed, Susan Eberhart. Spann was some fifteen years older than his wife; .in process of time her health entirely failed, for having been confined in child-bed, and suffering from tiie dis ease commonly known as milk-leg, which caused one of her legs to be amputated, she was ever thereafter forced to go about on crutches, often very sick’ and compelled to keep her bed, wholly helpless and entirely de pendent upon others in every respect. Hers was a case which imperiously demanded the care, not to say atten tive affection, of her husband, and which appealed so strongly to the commonest sympathy, that her neighbors visited and sat up with her at night. On the very night of her murder, this poor, helpless woman was unable to sit up in her bed.— Spann is said to be a powerful man, strong, athletic, determined, remark ably handsome, withal a professor of religion, and a preacher of the gospel, being a member of the Baptist church. Instead of acting like a man with a heart within him, much less like a Christian preacher, and tenderly watching over his poor, helpless, bed ridden wife, lying motionless upon her bed, without one solitary human being, save her murderers, to hear her pitiful but unheeded cries, what dors he do? It seems that sometime prior to this attrocious and horrible murder, he had hired Susan Eber hart, a young girl about sixteen years old, the daughter of poor, ignorant, but respectable people, to come and work in the family, and live in his house. She is represented as being amiable, but very poor and very ig norant. Spann furnished her with clothing and trinkets, and by such devices as a ski lful libertine would employ, easily wins the too yielding regard of his unfortunate victim, and in a very little while accomplishes her ruin by seducing her; the facts do not show that she hesitated at all in accepting his adulterous approaches. Suffice ii to say, she becomes his wil ling and satisfied mistress, there in the hou.se which sheltered his poor, bed-ridden, afflicted wife. As before remarked, several attempts were made by these two wretched crea tures to murder Mrs. Spann, until at length, no human being near, aw T ay from all hope of being aided on her part, or resisted on theirs, they delib erately and wilfully, with set design, coldly carried into execution, put the helpless woman to death. Forthwith they flee, the murderous husband and his poor, deluded, and not less guilty accomplice. From place to place, and house to house, they roamed, representing themselves to beman and wife, Spann declaring to any who knew him, that his wife was dead, and that he and Susan had married, and both of them agreeing to, and joining in tiie same miserable lie. in a few days, the murder hav ing been made known, they are pur sued and captured, carried back to Webster county, tried and convicted of murder, and sentenced to be hung. The case was carried up to the Su preme Court of the State, and the sentence of the Court below ordered to be carried out. Spann was in due time brought to the gallows, and willingly paid his life as a forfeit for his unheard of crime. He leaves be hind him a written statement, in which, without pretending to excul pate Susan Eberhart, lie expresses a wish that she may not meet his fate upon the gallows, and that she may be happy. Many respectable and well known gentlemen and ladies, some of them distinguished lawyers, pre sent petitions, and write letters to the Governor, while a majority of the Jury request his Excellency to commute her punishment to impris onment in the Penitentiary. This is simply a compendious statement of the case, without going into all the particulars. Always inclined to be merciful, and we trust never unmov ed by the cry of tiie suppliant, we can, nevertheless, see nothing in this terrible case which can properly lay any claim to executive clemency.— Tiie jury, if empannelled again, would, if they regarded their oath, find the same verdict, and not one of all those who address the Governor, but would admit the guilt of this un fortunate female. An adulteress, with the blood of her mistress on her hands, taking her life that she may take her place, is in no sense entitled to mercy. Whoso sheddeth man’s blood by man shall his blood be shed, is the divine injunction, unrepealed, and irrepealable, and all this appeal for mercy is in the face of all human and divine law, and in the very teetli of all that is just and right. If, how ever, the Governor should be pleased to hear and grant the prayer of the petitioners, the case is with him, and we shall not utter one word of dissat isfaction at his course, firmly con vinced as we are that to grant it, would be a yielding of a merciful heart, when the very good of society and all law, and the very strong facts of this remarkable case, should de mand his denial, even though the prisoner lie a woman. All the facts of the case r.ave been carefully re viewed by the Superior and Supreme Courts, both determining that site is worthy of death, and in spite of the sentimentality which would shield this great criminal from execution, justice to the dead wife, and to a thousand living families, requires that a murderess, under such repul sive circumstances, should suffer the e*tn*aie penalty of the law. W. A. Hemphill, one of the edit ors and proprietors of tiie Atlanta Constitution, a leading and popular paper of the State, is widely known and, for his Christian character and upright, honorable and successful life, receives, and is justly entitled to th< respect of a host of friends. From comparative poverty, he has a massed, by successful industry and business habits, a handsome competency, and, what is still better, has, though a young man, established for himself, as the manager of one of the ablest journals in Georgia, a reputation which must be to him and his friends a source of honest pride. We have known him from his childhood, and when a boy, with pleasure we state it, he.gave indisputable evidence of the excellent future which he ha.- since worked out by his own unaided efforts. ’The suspicion, therefore, that in the matter of the public printing, any dishonorable dealing could attach to his character, was so foreign to aii his antecedents in youth, and hi? hitherto unsullied manhood, that no thing save irrefragable evidence, pos itive, clear, and indisputable, could give it even one single moment’s at tention. The charge is, that, in his accounts presented for payment, as publit printer, lie has overcharged the Staff some seven thousand dollars, more or less, and though there is no direct al legation that he acted criminally in the matter, yet the insinuation is thai he was attempting to obtain from tin State more than he was entitled to, and that, therefore, his conduct was tainted with fraud. Mr. ’lemphiL states that his charges were made in the ordinary way, and all of them under the direction of the foreman in his printing office having the chargt of these matters, and that they havt been presented in form to the Gov ernor ler his examination, who wii, make such allowance of his claim as may appear to be correct. Wo can not see what else he, or any othei printer, could do under like circum stances; submitting his claims for ad judication, and holding himself read> to abide the decision upon their jus tice. If the proper officers of the State shall differ with him in relation to items in his bill as chargeable a gaiust the State, and in tiie waj hitherto allowed to all public printers, it will only amount to a reversal oi the mode hitherto adopted by public printers, and his accounts will be di minished to that extent, without the slightest reflection upon iiis character or integrity. If the usual rate be al lowed, then his bill will be honored as presented, and there will Be an end of tiie whole matter. We cannot al low ourselves to believe but that Mr. Hemphill, in ail tiiis matter, lias con ducted the business fairly and honor ably, and congratulate him upon the fact that he may dismiss from his mind all fear that even a suspicion ol fraud, on his part, is entertained by the public or his brethren of the press. DIGGER INDIANS. The massacre of General Can by and others, by the Modoc Indians, near the lava bi ds in California, has not only created a horror and much ex citement at Washington, but has caused Gen. Sherman, Commander in-Chief of tiie United States forces, to issue an order of extermination of these savages, to the troops engaged in this miserable little Indian war.— The conduct of Captain Jack, tiie bloody Chief of these Digger Indians, is inexcusable upon any ground whatever, and was an act of treache ry and blood characteristic only of a savage, and by all laws, human and divine, he, and those who were en gaged in this scene of appalling treachery, deserve no mercy, and tiie heaviest punishment should be visit ed upon them, prompt, shary, quick, and relentless. But the orders issu ing from head quarters, an order ol extermination against a whole tribe of poor, miserable savages for the act of their head men and chief war riors, partakes as little of civilization as the bloody deed of Captain Jack and his braves. Cold-blooded butch ery, inhuman extermination of a small band of root-diggers for the cowardly act of a few of their tribe, is but little in consonance with the spirit of the age, however lightly it may sit upon the conscience of Gen eral Teeumseli Sherman. And yet who can be surprised at it, when one remembers that this is the same Gen. Sherman who went, with fire and sword, over the defenceless plains of Georgia and South Carolina, making Cassvillean absolute desolation, burn ing down Cartorsville, burning with flame and fire public and private, ed ucational and religious buildings, and staying not his unbridled lust of ra pine and of blood, until he exulted over Columbia in flames, and the people of the South, as far as was in his brutal power, men, women, and children, old and young, driven houseless, homeless, and famishing, out into the bleak winds of heaven. In the name of humanity, protest should be made against this cruel and disgraceful order. The partici pators in this blaody Indian drama should be captured and vengeance ruthlessly measured out to every one of them, but then a great nation should not stain itself with the blood of a poor tribe of miserable Indians, all of whom are under the authority of their head chiefs and warriors. We are and can be no apologist for Cap tain Jack and his band in their mur derous deed, but yet we do think that the order of Gen. Sherman is, in it? spirit and tone, on a precise level with the murderous act of the savage Mo doc Chief. Among the objects for which Gov ernor Jewel, the Republican Gover nor of Connecticut, invites the people of that State to supplicate Divine Providence on the approaching fast day, are the following: “That we may emulate the virtues of our an cestors in the administration of pub lic affairs; and that individual sel fishness may not be pormited to un dermine the foundations of the re public.” Recent occurrences in Washington give peculiar force to the suggestion* of Governor Jewel. TIIE NEW REVENUE LAWS. We publish below all the inforina ion necessary to understand the new Revenue Law which goes into effect >n the Ist day of May, 1873. Parties nay rely on this being correct, as we ,'et it from J. A. Holtzclaw, C’ollec or of the 4th District of Georgia. All special taxes on arid after the Ist of May, 1873, are to be paid by -tamps. The special taxes are: Rectifiers S2OO Retail liquor dealers 20 Wholesale “ 100 Wholesale dealers in malt liquor- 5u letail “ “ •* 20 icaler- in mamCaetured tobacco 5 Manufacturers of stills 50 aeh still manufactured 90 Sach worm “ 20 'lamitacturers of tobacco 10 “ cigar? 10 Brewers of less than 500 birrel? 50 “500 barrels or more 100 Peddlersjof tobacco(on foot) 10 “ (1 horse) 15 “ “ (2 horse) 25 ‘ “ “ (more than 2 horses). 50 Wholesale dealer? in teat tobacco 25 Retail “ “ “ “ 50j “Every person or firm liable tospe •ial tax, must on or before the 30th lay of April of each year, or before •ommoncing business, if such busi ness is commenced subsequent to \pril 30th, file with the collector, or leputy collector, a sworn statement m form 11, and at the same time pay o such officer the amount of tax, when he will be furnished with a -peeial tax stamp, which stamp must ue at all times conspicuously dis played in his or their place oi' busi ness.” “Any person who shall through negligence fail to so place and keep said stamp, shall, upon conviction, oe sentenced to pay a penalty equal to the special tax for which his busi ness rendered him liable, and the costs of the prosecution; but in no •ase shall said penalty be less than .en dollars; and where the failure to comply with tiiis provision shall be through wilful neglect or refusal, lien the penalty shall be double the smount above prescribed.” Tlies blank forms 11 have been, or will be, sent to each person who has oeen engaged in any business requir ng special tax for the last twelve mouths, if known to the collector. Chose to whom they are not sent, can them at any time by applying to he collector or a deputy collector. Che affidavit on form 11 can be made >efore any person authorized to ad minister oaths generally, or before die collector or any deputy collector. The collector is allowed no discre tion, but is bound to prosecute every one doing business even for a day, without the special tax stamp. THE IRON ANACONDA. Raleigh, N. C., April 10. The States authoities have sued out a writ of injunction against A. S. Bu ford, President of tire North Caroli na Railroad, and aii its employees, preventing a change of guage from Greensboro to Charlotte, and thq, in junction has been served. The guage which was to have been changed would have enabled the trains from the Danville Road to passthrough to the South, and was to have been done in the interest of tiie Pennsylvania Central. The Nashville Advocate suggests tiie following plan lor the union of the Methodist Episcopal Churches. I'he plan is not to merge the Church North and tiie Church South in to one general organization, but to makean other division of tiie Northern Church which might be called the Church West, and then bind all together by a sort of Ecumenical Council which should yet leave these three divisions independent, but cooperative. The Jackson Whig and Tribune tells of a woman who sent her hus band to buy a jug of m a lasses. He got drunk, and fetched home the Jug tilled with whiskey. She took it up, smelt it, set it back, and then squar ing herself, arms akimbo and eyes flashing, she exclaimed. “VVbar’s them molasses?” The old man smil ed and winked pleasantly, and, wav ing his left hand propitiatingly, ex claimed, “them’s they !” He is now convalescent, but the jug is hopelessly deranged. The Catoosa Courier contains a com plimentary notice of Miss Sarah Howard daughter of the Rev. C. W. Howard, ol Kingston, Georgia, for her interest and practical success in attention to fowls. The editor paid a visit recently to Mr. Howard, and in terestingly describes Miss Howard’s splended poultry yard. She has devo ted much attention to improve breeds of poultry, and took a number of premiums at the last State fair at At lanta. According to the Bowling Green Democrat, there is an apple tree on tiie old Sam Greathouse larm, fif teen imies east of Bowling Green, that was planted in the year 1790, and is consequently eighty-three years oid. The body of the tree is two feet in diameter, its top is forty feet across, and it bears, from graft ing, twelve kinds of apples, it hav ing borne last year one hundred bushels.

CORN FOR THE SOUTH. “Tiie four States of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, are compelled to buy about 50,UUU,000 bushels of grain from North-western producers every year. For this they pay on average nearly $54,900,000. But of this amount tiie Western grain-growers get less than $1G,000,000. The $38,000,000 which tiie people of the eonsumemg States pay over the amount realized by the producer is divided among different transporta tion companies.—That’s how the money goes.” Back from Texas. —The Selma Times saysquite a number of the ma ny young men from that city and vi cinity, wno left for Texas a few weeks ago, iiave returned and do not speak in very flattering terms of their expe rience in the West. They say that the remainder of the party will re turn as soon as they get tie - necessary money. Mr. J. M. Moseley, now of Wood county, Texas, writes to a friend in Coweta county that two young men, named Cook and Shiriey, who went to Texas in October with him, died of sinal 1-pox and were buried in the same grave. The same disease pre vails in all portions of Wood county, many dying. The spring is very backward. Corn is selling atsl 50 in gold per bushel; times hard. It is a significant fact that ninety nine out of every one hundred me chanics in the large cities of the Uni ted States are foreigners, whose earn ings now average from four to five dollars per day, while any quantity of “gentlemanly” young American men, the product of business colleges and iiigfi schools, can be got to keep b<x>ks or do any kind of genteel wri ting from six to ten doiiersper week.

Yet there are thousands whose habitu al condition is one of languor and debility. They complain of no specific disease; they suf fer no positive pain; but they have no relish for any thing which affords mental or sensuous pleasure to their more robust and energetic fellow-beings. In nine cases out of ten this state of lassitude and torpor arises from a morbid stomach. In digestion .lestroys the energy of both mind and bo ly. When the waste of nature is not sup plied l»r a due and regular assimilation of the food, every organ is starved, every function in terrupted. Now. what does common sense suggest under these circumstances of depression* The sys tem needs rousing and strengthening; not merely for an hour or two. to sink afterwards into a more pitiable condition than ever (as it assuredly would do if an ordinary alcoholic stimulant were resorted to), but radically and permanently. How is this desirable object to be accomplish ed? The answer to this question, founded on the unvarying experience of a quarter of acen turv, is easily given. Infuse new \ igor into the organs by a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters. Do not waste time in administering tem porary remedies, but wake the system up by recuperating ihe fountain head of physical strength and energy, the great organ'upon which all the other organs depend for nurture and support. By the time that a dozen doses of the great vegetable tonic and invigorant have been tak en. the feeble frame of the dyspeptic will begiu to feel its benign influence. Appetite will be created, and with appetite the capacity to di gest what it craves.
