Another Injunction —a MU for Relief and Injunction was filed in the office of the Clerk of | the Superior Court, on toe 224 icat., on the com plaint of fifty two citizens of the connty, praying “that all of the extraordinary tax, (levied lor the year 1872.) msy be declared to have been illegally levied, and that all of the county indebtedness, •ed upon .he issues of bills, or circulation In iffirmmee or renewal of the same, or for usury, or ■n account of all illegal conttscis, m#y be de clared utterly null and void ; nd that the county nd all tax pavers of the same, may be decreed and torever ducbirged from the payment thereof. That the Commissioners m*y Be decreed to have ■ad no legal or suthoriz and appointment, or legal nihority to control the taxes of said connty, aud ever to have been proper.y a legal board quad deu to assess taxes, ai.d that said tax, assessed by i.e Board ol Commissioners aud sought to be ollecwd.msy be decreed to have been i legally ex - ea, and tt.; the Tax Collect rbe etj >:ned ana s'rained Horn issuing, c-r enforcing execution or said tax, or mat if the executions Lave been l ti tled, that he be enjoined from ever attempting to collect the same. We cull from the bili the following as the most promtrent legal grounds upon which the oregoing prayer is based : That the Board of Com missioners were nominated aud appointed at the August Term, 1872, ol the Super.or Court, when bt act, creating said board, was passed on the 27th day ol August, 1872, pending said term of the Superior Court., and required it by its terms that the board should be nominated and appointed at the next term of the Court after ite passage. That the Grand Jury did not conform to said act, because two of said board nominated were members of their own body. That but two of said board were qualified, when the act required that said board should be organ ized by all three taking the oath in the presence of each other. That said board had eo authority of law, for as sessing two hundred per cept. of taxes, for connty purposes, on the State tax. The complainants in the bill, alledge as the rea son for refusing to allow the taxes to be levied: First, Because the tax was not assessed or levied by any one having authority to levy the same. Second, Because said levy is largely in excess of any immediate or just necessity for the wants of the county. Third, Because there was no emergency In the affairs of said county, by suit, judgment or other wise to require 6uch a levy. Fourth, Because the taxes of the current year, with a reasonable per cent, on the State tax,would have been amply sufficient to have met all the le gal wants or equitable claims chargeable on the county funds, for the current year. Fifth, Because the said Commissioners, or the Ordinary of said county, have not pretended to require the officers of said county, having many thousand dollars of the connty funds in their hands, in amount sufficient to cover any excess over the ordinary wants of the county, to come to any settlement, though said large admitted balance, was not desired to be due, and that said officers and their securities were liable therefor- The bill was sworn to by Jno. R. Ralls, Wililam Walker, Geo. W. Adams and G. G. Flynt. On the 24th of January, Judge Greene, in Chambers, granted a temporary Injunction against the T.x Collector, restraining him from proceed ing to collect the tax, until Friday the 81st day of January, at 12 o’clock, m., at which time the In jur coon expires, and he further ordered that the Tax Collector show cause on said day in the city o! Griffin, why the injunction, prayed for, should not be grantid. ———►• The Science of Health —We have the Feb ruary number ol I hie sterling journal.

Y. - - 1 ■ ♦ Mercer University.—The exercises of Mercer University have been suspended, inconsequence of sickness among the students. Tbe faculty dis missed the scholars on Tuesday night last, and all returned to their homes. Mr. Victor Ham, of Butts, one of the students, informs ns that a number were sick. Three deaths have occurred, Georgo West, of Thompson; Richard Bennet, oi Quitman; and C. Bookman, of Wilkes connty. The disease was finally pronounced meningitis, and prevailed seriously among the inmates of the Dining and Lodging Hall. The arrangement is that the students will be reassembled as soon as the sickness abates. We are informed, also, that a number of cases have occurred in the city, some of which have proven fatal. Land Askncy.—We call the attention of our readers to the notice of Col. Hammond and Mr. Rhodes in reference to their proposed sale and purchase of real estate for parties in this section of the State. It is a very desirable agency for the convenience of our people. Col. Hammond is familiar with tbe titles of real estate in this sec tion, and we know of no person who is better able to judge of the price and quality of lands, than Mr. George M. Rhodes. Parties who wish to purchase or sell, will do well to apply to them, as they will have many facilities for offering in ducements for interest in real estate, or in the disposal of lands at their highest market value. In Place.—Of the county officers elected at the late election, the following gentlemen have given bonds, been qualified, and received their commissions: E. Dumas, Ordinary ; Cyrus Sharp, Clerk ; M. T. Harper, Treasurer; C. M. McCune, SherifiT; 11. Y_ Gibson, Tax Collector. All have gone to work in the duties of their stations. Of the Justices of the Peace elected Massrs. T. W. King of the Town district, C. F. Gibson of Redbone, John C. Poe of the Seventh, J. H. Edwards Oi Dillard’s, and J. G. Hucbaby of Russellville, have been also sworn in. Another Competitor —We regret omitting to call attention to the season card of Mr. J. D Proctor, grocery and provision dealer. By earnest attention to business, and fair and prompt dealing in all his transaction, and with every customer, Mr. Proctor has won a place in the front rars of the mercantile community ot Forsyih, and is fully prepared to compete with any of his neighbors We cordially commend him to the purchasing public. Anothfr Organization —Change appears to be the outer of the day in business circles, as well as in the character of the weather. We have been called upon to cnconnce several among our busi ness men, within a brief period, and to day the union of Messrs. Palethorpe A Turner appears. Inspect their well filled shelves and cases, if yon desire to see any fancy article in tne confectionery line. They have a full stock, and propose to con duct their trade upon a liberal basis. Try them. S. F. Wilder A Son. —We give to day the an nouncement of the Messrs, Wilders that they have fully reopened all the departments ot their foimer business, and are again ready to greet their friends. The energy displayed by these gentle men to surmount the difficulties caused by the fire has beea commendable, and we rejoice that they are once more in position. Unfortunate. —On Tuesday night last Mr. Wm. Fisher reached town with a lot of mules, which were unloaded, tut before they could be stabled, they were frightened by the approach of another train, and one that took the railroad for hia race course was overtaken, and knocked off the track minus both of his hind legs. The ani mal was a valuable one. County Correspondence. Editor Advertiser; As we have been voicing some of the obstacles to contend with, ia agricul tural matters, especially on the ltbcr aues'loi., we pursue the subject a little farther to spe&K of one other (and by no means of little mport)—the dis inclination of many of our color to labor. They are much pleared to have it done—but taking hold, and holding on, is quite another thing. Any shift in the world but work. Office, rent out their land, move to town, and such like. We are of tbe opinion the stcck ol determination and self-reiiance is too smalt lor tbe t mes, Wby is there such * great cry tor labor • Mainly on this account. We aver that if all the whites ip the connty, able to work, would shuck off, and go at it energetically, a different state ol things would be seen. There is but little profit in tbe bir.iing; why trouble ourselves about them* The sooner we realize list tiu-. sitnatio: tbe bet ter for ns Those who expect the country to be oev-.loped, and reach great agricultural prosperity, through the agency of the n gro, will surely die disappointed. It Africa lives it is all he desires. The day for making fortunes out of him i6 past. With their notions of labor, their wr.ges, and living to bo taken off, where is the profit ? A great many of cur people are nearly crazy about foreign emigra tion-only proof that they wish for someone else to do their work. Instead of themselves. No ob jection to those who come in the right spirit; but if the European comes among us, and developes the county,so tar will it be his, not ours. The idea of making fortunes out of them, is simply absurd. There is but one way: just face the music squarely. To those having a disposition to do so, to t ave something of their own, and be some body—without pretending to have found the philosopher’s stone, or to being wiser than other people, we will lay down a programme; if it don t lead to success, I will approximate it. This is the point aimed at. Now take an aver age man, upon an average farm; on that farme there is perhaps a good deal of the land exhausted or much worn. Let that be. It will not pay to cultivate It, or to have it done. Bat suppose there is a small proffl; made by cultivating it, it will pay decidedly a better per cent, to let it grow sedge and pine, and recuperate—and at the end of a number of years, the improvement in the land, and consequently its enhanced value there by will greatly exceed the net proceeds of culti vation. Know the capacity of ihe farm, and let the op erations be confined to the best portions, if it is in proportion of only ten acres to the hundred. Hire a few good hands if yon can get them, upon the best terms to be had. If they prove good, pay all that is promised and a little more; have no more surplus ones about, than is unavoidable; plant to raise your own provisions if it takes every acre in cultivation to do it. Where the difference, if it takes all the proceeds of the cotton crop to buy them ? Control your labor as much as you can, but don’t expect proxy to do it all; stay at home, don’t go town, the store, and other places to while away time; study your business, exercis ing energy, and judgment, and work yourself, aud jnst so sure as the sun shines, the gentle dews distil, and the showers fall, 60 sure are you of a good living, not only that, but profits. Suppose the physician, or lawyer, in their im portant cases, should send some understrapper to look after them, without attendine themselves, would they succeed* So ol the farm. Use all the labor that is available iD your white lamily, especially yourself (now don’t forget that). Sort are the profits. There is after all more clear money ia the patches around the bouse, cultivated by some oi ihe family, than all the <arm fields. We often see it stated in the newspapers the imount of cotton produced by white women. Men, some of you ought to be ashamed of your selves. The soTlest sight on tbs earth, is amu m good heal.h, too lazy to work, no en wgy> ho credit, dragging his slow hngth along, < king out a sort of existence, can’t make a living, bard up. Wnere la the manhood <f the county* If energized and properly directed, what could it accomplish. Young man, dont think you are too good to work with your thoughts turned, to Medicine, Law. Merchandising clerking.—Let Physic and law alone—be a producer that is what the county needs. Here is an opening lor you, that promises health, a competency, and (why I greatly prefer it to all others) independence. CINOINNATt’3. Another effort to develop tbe mineral resour ces of Georgia has proven successful. Messrs. V endevendere and Mcllwaine have purchased the beds near Cave Spring, and are daily ship ping the crude ore to Indiana. The Rome Com mercial says: They have now employed about fifty hands, and will soon increase the number to one hundred. This is an adventure that our citi zens never dreamed of, and illustrates most forci bly the value of our interests. These gentlemen are now distributing about lour hnndred dollars per day for labor and freight and net profits in ibis community, and all this comes from Northern consumers. Over one hundred thousand dollars per annum is thus added to the productive inter ests of onr county, and this sum will soon be doubled. Yerily our hopes for the future are on a solid foundation. Virginia Prosperity.—The Petersburg (Va.) Index believes that Virginia is becoming prosper ous. It says: Money is more plentiful and at easier rates year by year. New industries have been established and are prospering, while those already estab lished have advanced far beyond their former measure of profit. Not a town in our limits but is fairly prosperous, and Dot a county where fences have not been replaced, houses built, stock increased, farming utensils renewed, fertilizers applied and increased production over the dark years of 1867, ’6B und ’69 realized. A large por tion of the farming class is ttlll in the great diffi culties, but State repudiation will but plunge them deeper. Let the Legislature only preserve our public credit, and all may yet be well.
