HAMILTON, HARRIS CO., GA., FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1873.
1 GtiN£OWDER PLOT,
Old Growler Was the presiding
judge of the Northern eirenit court)
and the meanest old reprobate that
ever disgraced the bench. He rare
ly went to bed sober J .got Up every
morning wrong-end foremost, and
generally begun the day by some out
rageotts act of oppression. lie was
the terror of the bar—all but Shad
Sharkie, with whom it was his moral
condition to be several "chips” be
hind at " poker,’* which made him,"
on the whole, rather civil to Shad.
One Ulornittg “ Old Growl ” opened
court in worse humor than usual.
A bad “run of luck,” and too much
bad whisky over night, had told more
than commonly on his temper, ! f,<l *
The first thing in order was to im
pannel a jury, of bystanders the
regular jury, befogged by one of
Old Growl’s imcomprehensible charge
e , being, and having been for the
laist forty-eight hours, “ hung ’’ on a
question of title to a yearling calf,
sworn to positively by six witnesses
on one aide, and a half a dozen on the
other.
“Call a jury, and be quick about
it) Mr. Buttpkin,*'growled the judge.
I held the office of sheriff, and my
right name is Lumpkin, but old Growl
would persist in miscalling it. ’
The words b otj the signal of a gen
eral stampede. To he canght on one
of Old Growl’s juries was generally
considered about equivalent to going
to jail But the judge ordered the
doors to be closed in time to hag a
sufficient number.
“ James Bieerly,” I called out.
Jim snook his head, and tipped me
a deprecating wink, which I refused
to understand.
“ Take a seat on the jury I’’ I voci
ferated, with official emphasis.
“ Judge, *' said Jim, stepping for
ward, and blandly addressing the
court, “ I’d be happy to oblige ye,
but the fact is it’s onpottdble.”
“ What do you mean ?’’ roared bis
h >n or.
“Ye see,” explained Jim, “ its
Pop’s wa^h-day—her name is Polly,
but I ca 1 her Pq>p**-atid she’s sent me
to town arteir some bluin,’ and unjess
I’m back in time—well, ye know,'
judge,'how it is yefself.’*
Fierce as Old Growl was in public,
it was currently reported that he was,
taine enough at home—in fact, that
hia acquaintance with the proverb of
the gray “mare’’ was something
more theoretical At all events Jim’s
appeal to the court’s experience had
quite the opposite of a soothing,
effect, * 1 ~ - A ' Xl ' *
“Take your sodt tui that Jury W
thundered Old Growl; “and if I hear
any more stich impertinence, I’ll—
I’ll —”

parting to Ards tl| jfy j
“ “ iiook’e here, he whrepier ®
ed in passing. “ jest let me go and
:look-#rter ray critter, and l’lltjbebqgk
by tl, to. you've
T’other ’leven were speedily se
c/red; for Old" Growl would listen to
so excuse.
“Is the jury full, Mr. Bumpkin ?”
inquired-the judge, looking up from
his newspaper.
“ Y’yes, your Honor,” I answered
unhesitatingly ; “ only Mr. Bleerly
has stepped out to see his horse,”
“ Who gave him permission f ”
I had to acknowledge that I did,
M And who gave you permission to
give him permission ?”
To this rather completed question
I thought it best to make no answer.
“ Call the juror at the doof I” bel
lowed the judge.
The bailiff sent to do so returned
with the report that he had seen dim
Bleerly leaving town at full gallop,
and in passing the court housa he
gave a sort of military salute—but
instead of touching his cap, he had
applied his thumb to the tip of his
nose.
Old Growler turned green and
pnrple. It was some moments before
he could command utterance. Rage
bad fairly taken away bra breath.
“ Maks out an attachment for con
tempt agamst the fugitive I” fra di
rected the clerk as soon as be conld
speak, hit voice quivering with pas
sion.
“And, Mr, Bumpkin,’’ he laid mark
ed expression on the B this time,
“ if'yon fail to bate the culprit : here
before the court adjoorns I’ll make
cm. oxanpie.of yootJf i trl m krs
I knew the obfsinner well enough
to know he would keep his word, es
pecially when he promised to do a
meam thing. So, leaving a deputy in
my place, t took the writ, as sooh
as the clerk had signed it, and set
out to serve it.
Oil reaching Jim's shatity—it hard
ly rose to the dignity of a cabin—l
detailed my assistants to act as
pickets, and marched boldly up and
knocked at the door.
“Come in I*’ growled a gruff voice.
As I entered Jim glared at me
fiercely. He was a strapping six
footer, fill brawn and bone, and ready
at any time to fight for the love of it.
If he hadu’t come to towh. for “blue
in’,” as he pretended to Old Oro\Vl s
he had, at ahy rate, managed to get
gloriously “ blue,'’ and when in that
stale he was entirely reckless.
" Jim, old fell 9W,'’.l said in a com
ciliatory tone, “ I have got an attach
ment ifo* you and want you to go
ufith ipe.”
“ Well, I ain’t got pone for you,”
he growled surlily; “ and what 's moi*e,
I ain’t goin’.”
I explained that resistance would
be useless; that 1 had a strong force
outside; and that I should be con
strained to take him, dead or alive.
But all to no purpose. Jim, obsti
nate enough at all times, in his pre
sent condition was perfectly mulish.
Seeing persuasion was in vain, I
signalled my assistants. At the
sight of them Jim seiXed a brand
from the fire.
" Ye see that kag, Mr. Lumpkin,’’
he said, his eyes bloodshot and his
voice husky j well, it’s full o' gun
powder—rand by the long-toed Har
ry, ef one o’ them onderstrappers
comes acrost my threshold, or ef you
stay a minnit longer’n you kin git
away, I’ll leoh her off, so help me 1”
Jim, I knew, was a famous hunter,
and used to buy his ammunition by
the quantity. A keg of powder was
nothing unusual for him to have on
hand. And then Polly began to cry
and take on in a way that went to
prove the thing was not a joke. Be
sides, Jim was just fool enough to do
what he threatened. My two assist
ants took to their heels like white
heads, and it must be confessed, I
"made a rapid advance in the same
direetjon. | {
At a safer distance; we rallied and
held a council of war. We concluded
to invest the place, and hold it in
siege for the present^
At the end of ari lioUr Jim appear
ed at the door,’waging a white rag
to a stick.
“is that a sign of surrender ?” I
shouted from a safe distance.
“No,” hallowed Jim, “it’s*a flag
of truce ;” adding, “Ye han’t got ho
’tachrhebt fbr-Pop, hav ye ?”
- I answered I hadn’t.
“ Well, I want to pass her out,’’
said Jim, “ She’s getting slerieky
in here; and in game the wps) igomes
fa the wust, I Aonldn’t want to be
Oblegedw blow ttleofd gal dp.”
I thought the proposition reason-
Jin Viofr w?rpen
ed andPop came out. Sne "wore a
scoop bonnet, and kept her handker
chief to her eyes. ' Her form seemed
bowed by grief. We respected her
sorrow, and suffered her to pass.
Hour after hour went by. I began
to grow fidgety. It was already 3
o’clock. Court adjourned at 4; and
unless I produced Jim before that
hour, Old Growl’s word was out to
make “an example of me.” At last
I concluded to seek a parley,
“ Hallo, Jim 1 I want to speak
to yon,” I shouted.
No answer.
I drew nearer and shouted louder;
still no response.
An idea struck me. Jim had pro
bably fallen to sleep after the spree.
If so, I might steal a march on him.
Stealthily advancing, I raised the
latch, and gently pushed open the
door. Instead of Jim, drunk and
asleep, the object tbat confronted me
was Pop, wide awake and duly sober,
“Where’s Jim I exclaimed,
“ Gone this two boars,’’ replied
Pop, punching thq fire.
‘ “ For, goddneiri sake, be careful,
Madame,” I expostulated, “about
C,OBC to that
“ Laud sake, man I” cried Pop,
“ it’s got nothin’ in it but beans.”
As the enormity of the sell flashed
upon me, I beat, if anything, a more
hasty retreat than, I did when Jim
threatened to Wow Up bis household
goods and me along with them.
WheirWtf
Ofld Growl ns J entered the court
house alone.
I tried to break it gently; but it
was no use. The conclusion of my
statements was lost in shouts of laugh
ter. Old Growl’s eyes rolled Wildly.
His face went through the Whole
gaunt of colors. What he would
have done Heaven only knoWe, Of
even call kiiow. An apoplexy, which
the old whisky Liber has been honest
ly earning for twenty year* struck
him like lightning, and he rolled over
dead.
At his funeral few sighs were
heard, arid few tears shed. No words
spoken in commemoration of the Vir
tues of the departed. The officiating
clergjmah expressed a faint hope,
but he didn’t seem very sanguine.
All -seemed to have “ come to bury
Growler, not to praise him.’’
Hints About Houses.
Many houses, front the mansion to
the cottage, are .mwholesome for the
following reason. :
1. Dar.tp basements.
2. Cesspools and foul drains within
the basements.
3. Rotten timbers in floors and
skirtings, and tainted wall paper.
4. Kitchen sinks in improper places
and uuventiiated.
5. Water closets in improper places
and itnventilat. a.
6. Rooms ithout adequate means
of ventilation.
7. Water cisterns and pumps in
improper places, mid so the water is
contaminated.
Rouses m e also unwholesome from
personal dirt, personal carelessness,
and personal neglect. As when I
1. Rooms ai'e.tiot properly cleaned.
2. Carpets are left down too long,
and never swept.
3. \Yindows are seldom open at
the top.
4. Oh >sets are dirty, neglected, and
without ventilation. **
5. Dirty beds are unmade, and are
also shrouded by dirty hangings.
0. Dirty wardrobes and dirty
clothes ol< sets.
7. Nooks, cornel's and shelves that
are never dusted.
Persons who are about to build
dwelling houses shov'd have the fol
lowing suggestions in mind:
The subsoil beneath a house should
be naturally dry, or it should be made
dry by laud-draining.
The ground floor of a house should
not be below the level of the land,
or 1 oad outside.
A site excavated on the side of a
hill or steep bank is liable to be dan
gerous. As external ventilation may
be defective, and the subsoil water
from above may soak toward and be
neath such houses, middens, ashpits,
cesspools at the back must taint such
basements.
The subsoil within every basement
should have a layer pf concrete over
it.
Cesspools, cesspits, sink-holes, or
drains should not be formed within
house lasemputs.
T’licgr und around dwelling houses
should he paved, flagged, asphalted,
covered with concrete, or be prepared
raid graveled,
Outside channels should be in good
order and be regularly cleaned,
House eaves should be guttered
and spOnted.
Place my Booth.—A young man,

upon a ferry-?, oat on Saturday, fell
short and disappeared in the briny
deep. He found a life preserver at
band as lie rose, and was drawn out.
He lay like a rag for a while, but
finally stood up and looked around,
The crowd was ready to do anything
for him and finally one of them
askedj
“ Gan we do anything for yon 7 ”
Tke man looked around, shivered,
and then gazing at his boots he re
plied :
“Yes; just one thing, I wish
you’d get a boy to black my boots.”

VAtUiCTV Of CONTRACTS.
I heard a man say, that a man might
make a trade of this kind, to-wit:
Hire three squads of negroes and
give them half of what tbey make,
but squad No. 1 of 12 hands, get one
third, squad No. 2 of 6 hands get one
fourtb, and Bquad No. 3 of 9 hands
one-sixth of that half, and they make
sixty bates of cotton, (the half of
which being thirty, bales), No. 1 gets
10 bales, No. 2 gets 7$ bales and No.
8 gets 6 bales. He said*”he didn’t
say he knew any sueh trade.’’
WHAT COTTON MAX'AND MAY NOT.
An acre of cotton three leet rows,
18 inches in drill, 5 bolls per stalk,
100 bolls per pound, will make 490
pounds of seed cotton. Another 3x2
and 10 bolls per stalk and 100 bolls per
pound, will make 735 pounds of seed
cotton or nearly a bale to two acres.
It would seem to be a miserably poor
cotton, not to make Jve bolls to a
stalk, and yet a great many don’t
make 400, nay 900 pounds per acre.
Tim secret is in the laek of a stand.
On close count, not one in a hundred,
1 guess, has more thop a two-third
stand, and.some not mom than half.
JUGJUU3F MYSTEBY.
Farmers used to make 500 to 750
pounds of cotton per acre without
guuno. They now make from 600 to
750 pounds per acre with guano, and
certify thereon two to three hundred
per ceut. inorease. The guano men
shows that with one hundred p@r
cent, increased yield, the per centage
on the capital invested in the guano
is' four hundred per cent If it be three
hundred per cent increase it looks
like it might be twelve hundred per
cent. Better buy it and can very
well afford to pay $2,600,000 a year
to carry on this little Georgia Gov
ernment, and pay from forty to eighty
per cent, by the year, for bacon and
corn. Don’t be afraid, GoV. Smith:

and let them put on the taxes. We
can stand that debt, and another
120,000 dollars for another session,
making four in about fifteen mouths,
or 480,000 dollars in all.
I saw a man certify, about the. first
of August, to three bnndred per

to make it sure he straightened' his
sweeps, put forward the back-bands,
and plunged into bis cotton, and lost

at the time, of ftie death, Hef was
born in 1808 ; the coup d’etat took
place in 18515 bo was proclaimed
Emperorin 1852, awd was dethroned in
1870. Calculated as follows the sum
of thehhmbers composing each'year
added, gives his exact age: -■ <

If the date ofthe' birtit,
