H. HAMILTON, Executor. 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 —” g 411 right*” Bai d-Jliui tmbmissu-ely,. 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.

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.

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: Call the Legislature together and withdraw yonr loan .advertisement 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 cent, increased yield of cotton, and to make it sure he straightened' his sweeps, put forward the back-bands, and plunged into bis cotton, and lost the three bnndred per cent, and came ottt at the same hole he went in aU But the gnano man had his certificate and soon the printer, and the certi fier said he would have made ft M if.” I knew a man go sd crazy on guano that he thought every man must be a fool tbat used any other than Patapsoo; yet He made la bale of cotton to 3| acres, or Icm than 5 bolls to the stalk of 3xls, and about 4 bushels of corn per acre.
