£7:r ZjcruhL THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 11. 1875. [rim the HKRVi.n.] County E\pea*c. Mr. Editor: — A few Jays ago, I wrote tin article for your paper in regard to the salertes of the Tax Collector and Receiver, as paid out of the funds of this county. 1 now assert that all the facts stated are true, to the letter, 1 did not undertake to show, what the State paid these men for their services in Greene county, T was showing tbe e* penses of the couoty. f showed also the financial condition of the County Court, that it was a grand Micros*, clearly ahead in all respects. — 1 now affirm that all I said about that i* true to the letter. Rut Mr. Editor. 1 find a very grave error has crept into the public ear. as to the number of days ihe county Judge is employed in hold ing these County Courts, positively as t-erted by some t not more than twerity fonr days in the year. I have the num ber of days actually employed in hold ing tl ese Courts by the county Judge; n statement made out by him from the Court docket, showing that since the Court was organized up to the 20 Oct 1875, being 2 years and 20 days the county Judge has been employed in holding these Courts (226) two hun dred and twenty-six days, showing that lie has been employed (9) nine days in tlie month or fraction over one-third of his time, and that during that time he has disposed of (772) seven hun dred and seventy ;vro eases, criminal and civil. Now what does a man mean by making the assertion that 24 days is all that the county Judge is employed in a year, wheu he can’t provo it to .save his life? I can prove what I say. Well says one, but we want a cheap county Court like Morgan county has. where the county Judge gets $250 a vear. Now, let me tell you about that Court. I had a talk last week with one of the of best citizens Morgan coun ty about that Court, and he told me that their county Court was a failure, and expense to the county; but said he. if we had such a county Judge as you have, we could pay him a thousand dol lars and make it a success. Hut says another, why not have such a county Court, as we had soon after the war, when the county Judge had only his -> • a n VT t . " about that Court. I was county Treas urer at that time,and know what I say. What I may say about this Court is not intended to east any reflection upon any official connected with said Court, but.simply to prove that these kind of Courts do not pay. Now, for that Court. Tt was in ex istence a little over 2 years, pjrhaps, a half a year ni re. It did not pay one cent of money into the county Treas ury, during tbe entire time it ruu. but on the other hand, 1 paid our of the county funds for Jury duty while it lasted. S43H and, after the Court was discontinued, the county Judge had a claim audited by tho Grand Jury and found correct, of about 51.200 for Insolvent cost; but as there was not h cent of fines and forfeitures on hand, out of which it C'uld be paid, the In ferior Court compromised tbe claim and gave the county Judge a draft on the county Treasurer for the sum of SSOO • to be paid out of any money on hand. I net these last statements from the Judge ofthe old County Court. Now you sec that County Court, cost the Tax payers of the county S9BB actually paid out and not a cent paid in. I ask how many more County Courts of that kind do you want? Antwer none. And besides all [ have said about, the present Court, the County Judge has furnished, at his own expense, ail the dockets, blanks and stationery for the said Court, when he had a perfect right to order it paid out of the county funds, as I be lieve every other one has done. Now, Mr. Editor a few words about myself, and I am done. Someone may think because I am writing these articles that I am opposed to reform in our county expenses allow me to state positively, that I am not at issue with any one. on retrenchment, I may differ with some as to the mode, but not as to the neees tity. With this article, as far as I now know, I close the correspondence, J. Henry Wood, County Treasurer. Columbus has a bonded debt of BGOO.- <IOO. One hundred and fifty-three people from Minnesota passed through Dalton Thursday night, bound for Tallahassee, Florida, where they propose to locate permanently. Miss Mary Thomas, daughter of the late Judge Thomas, died at the luuatic asylum of epileptic convulsions, on the 24tli Oct. last. A few days ago Mr. Jerry Broxtnn. of Dooly county, killed a steer of his own raising that weighed 798 pounds after the hide was stripped and the en trails taken out: in fact it may be said hint the beef •'■eighed 800 pounds uet. Letter from Charleston. Charleston, S. C., Nov. 4, 1875 Mr. Edi tor — Being here fi r the day aud having transacted the business which called me, in the interval of departure of re turn train. 1 devoted the time to a ram ble over a portion of the ei<y, herein giving your readers the benefit Selecting East Hay, Market, Meeting Hroa 1 and King Streets, as being of more interest than any others, from '1 e fact of their representing the principal business localities, both wholesale and retail. I was gratified to find the wholesale merchants in every line of trade driving ahead wtli a rush, turn ing out ea"e. barrel, tierce and box by the dray load, obstructing, however, the sidewalk to the detriment aud dis irust of the pedestrian, whose shins were likely to he damaged by contact with sharp corners and rough edges, or in having progress cheeked hv a formi dable pair of “skids” extending across sidewalk from dray to door sill, causing the impatient biped to uie “cuss words’ at the skids, the draymen and all crea tion generally, in being compelled to take the mud of the streets to ihe sad detriment of his “patent leather.” 1 speak from auricular and ocular de monstration - There arc now at the wharves and in the stream, a large number of vessels loading and unloading than for several years, and it is really a pleasure to see a long line of twenty-fivo or thirty drays, oach drawn by a single uiulc, each also, laden with four heavp bales of cotton, on the way to the “compress,” others re-load ; ng with the reduced bale ready for shipment to some foreign port.

King Street is the fashionab'e street of the city; here nre located most of the retail stores in the dry good-, jew elry hat, shoes and book line, together with.ot.hor articles necessary for house hold comforts. Many of the stnr s make spiendi t displays from their large win dows of single pate glass, and p through the street when you may, you will find the stores filled with buyers and on the sidewalks a constant stream of passers in search of pleasure, or sup plying wants. The city is improving; hundreds of new building- are going up in every quarter, and the general bu.-i ness aspect is full "fencouragement. One ofthe greatest places of interest is the Market, and market street.

Sh'imil Street \ole Among the business men of this citVj none lia.e shown a more enterprising spirit than Georg O. Robinson & Cos., the proprietors of the ‘‘Augusta Music House.” whose extensive establishment ai No 265 Broad street, is now recog nized as the “head centre” of the musi cal interest-of nnreity. Although the firm has been organized but about a yea’ - , in the language of Mr Robinson, ‘ bv careful and persistent advertising, we have done a better business than was anticipated in the start; printers ink has done thr- thing.” The first, feature that attracts the eye, as one nears the store, is the artistic grouping of the many beautiful instruments in the show window, equal in fact to what ran be seen ir> the store wind ‘W- of Baltimore.

The firm also supply parts of instruments, either for violins, guitars banjos, etc. A speciality is, that the latest music can be furnished imme diately and delivered free of charge at the same price as if furnished by the publishers. As an evidence of tlm ap preciation of prices, the following hand have been furnished with a complete outfit of instruments: Augusta Brass Band, German band of Augusta, Way nesboro band, and H'lliiston b.ind.
