LEGAL ADVERTISING THE SO
CALLED “DEPUTY SHERIFF’ OF
BROOKS COUNTY.
On last, Saturday, the 3d inst., A.
Sweat, the so-called Deputy Sheriff of
this county, handed ns the following ci
tation, with direction* that the he
published; to which request wn comply,
and give it. verbatim :

The first question that will present it
self to the reader, is the motive that, in
fluence* flu' withdrawal of legal adver
tisements from the Bah her, and the con
ferment of the same upon a journal,
which, at. the date of said notice, had no
existence. The great haste manifested,
to give an expression of ill-will for the
proprietor and editors of the Banner,
carries with it condeinnation, and our
numerous readers' in the county ol
Brooks, will tit once appreciate the situa
tion. The action ha* been influenced by
a petty spirit of malevolence, and an {in
nate desire to truckle to the requirements
of associates, regardless of a oouseiout ions
discharge of duty.
The considerat ion of another and more
important, question, however, is influen
ced hy the pronunoiainento aforesaid.
By what authority does “A Sweat, Dep
uty Sheriff,” exercise the functions of
said office? And we call the attention
of the Grand Jury to the investigation
of this matter.
Lot us refer to “history.” In Janua
ry last an election was held in the coun
ty of Brooks for Sheriff. The Demo
cratic party nominated as its- candidate
Wootenj and Mr. Willis A.
■ Ee' campaign
that. <ou, “A. Sweat,”
the present so-called “Deputy Sheriff,"
was a zealous advocate for the election
of the Independent, candidate, and la
bored for the defeat of the Democratic
nominee, Mr. R. 11. Wooten. The result
of that election was the defeat of King
and election of Wooten. The latter gen
tleman, then, was the choice of the peo
ple for Sheriff. Upon the reception by
Judge Harden of his commission, how
ever, Mr. Wooten concluded that hg
would not accept the office, but was af
terwards influenced to give the bond, and
take up the Executive con
ditioned, however, that A. Sweat should
discharge all the duties of the office, re
ceive all the perquisites (save certain com
pensation ordinarily allowed by Grand
Jurors for extra services,) and Is', tie fac
to, the Sheriff ol Brooks county—and he
(Wooten) to have nothing to do with the'
same. Why Mr. Wooten should thus
disregard the expressed wish of the peo
ple, and man me the right to appoint one
who was a comparative Wronger, to dis
charge the duties ol'an office he sought
at the hands of the (ample, is not suffi
ciently explained, unless the statements
made by Sweat are correct. One of our
lies! citizens says he has frequently heal'd
hiiu proclaim upon the St reel sos Quit -
man, to wit: "That Mr. K. B. Wooten
aaiul not give the bond required by hue, and
that he did."
It w ill thus be sen, that although A.
Sweat is de facto the Sheriff of the coun
ty. he secured the position, not by the
miiee of the people, but by a species of ne
gotiation certainly not provided for by
the laws of Georgia. And now he arro
gates the right, as the so-called "Depu
ty Sheriff,” to take from the Bannkk,
fees heretofore received for certain pub
lications, and bestow them upon a jour
nal not in existence at the date of liis
citation. He is evidently a sharp young
man, but we very much doubt il the peo
ple will endorse his arrogance.
As we have already stated. A. Sweat
is, comparatively. a stranger in this coun
ty. Occupying the exalted position In
does, without the consent of the people
he should lie better known; and witl
this laudable object in ri. w. we turn
him over to our local associate, who pro
r.osesTo pay his rc qi 'D, , 0 him at a fu
ture time.
In reference to “J. M. Shearer, Ordi
nary,” (whose name is also attached to
the above notice), we have hut little to
say. In our opinion he is a very ordina
ry official. In fact, a block of wood
might as well be stuck up in the Ordina
ry’s office as Judge J. M. Shearer. .Mr.
VV. G. Bentley, the very competent Cleik
of the Superior Court, is compelled, in
pity for the commissioned official, to
discharge t he duties of the office lei' him.
He resides in the country, and on ,i ion
ally visits town, merely t,o attach his
name to legal documents prepared by
Mr. Bentley. Perhaps the latter gentle
man allows him a few dollars occasional
ly, in consideration of the fact, that he
holds the commission.
The Banner will endeavor to survive,
notwithstanding the loss of the patron
age of the two officials designated. The
paper was Started in the year 18110, when
Quitman was a mere hamlet, and to-day
its files present irrefutable evidence of
its persistent zeal for the encouragement
of every enterprise of character and util
ity; and although it may he construed
hy some as egotistical, we claim (and
thoughtful, unprejudiced minds will con
cede the validity of the claim,) that the
Quitman Banner has contributed much
towards converting the hamlet of 1866
into the beautiful, progressive and en
terprising "town of 1873. And now, if
this enterprise, is to be crushed out ol
existence, because, forsooth, its editor
will not cater to the whims and eccen
tricities of would-be leaders because we
prefer to follow the dictate* of conscience
rather than lie a servile tool, and bend
the pregnant binges of the knee that
thrift may follow fawning—it will only
be an additional evidence that error
sometime* triumphs over right; but we
will console ourself with the reflection,
that—
“Tralli, crushed tn earth, will rise again;
The eternal years of God arc bis-
But error, wounded, writhes In pain,
And dies amid its worshippers.”
But We have confidence in the wisdom
and sound discretion of the people of
Brooks. We believe they will continue
to uphold an honest, journalist, who dares
to think and act, for himself. Our rec
ord is before, the country and the files
of the Quitman Banner brand with
falsehood, any assertion that its editor
ever deviated from the principles of De
mocracy. Time does not eradicate that,
record, and wo defy the world to point
to a solitary political sentence uttered
hy us, during our editorial career, cover
ing a score of years, that is at variance
with the time-honored principles of the
Jeffersonian Democracy. By that rec
ord are we ready to stand or fall. Like
the entire human family, we are a crea
ture of circumstance; hut through all the
vicisitudes of a. somewhat varied life, we
have never subordinated our principles
to policy- and certainly, at this late day,
we will not prove so imbecile as to sur
render our manhood at Ihe mandate of
a faction.
The UoiiiCHlciul mill Belief Law*.
The recent decision of the Supreme
Court, of the United States, declaring the
ret reactive features of the Homestead and
Relief Laws of Georgia unconstitutional,
is creating considerable excitement, in
every portion of this State. By said de
cision, creditors who have so long been
debarred, by law, the right to collect
their claims, and many of whom, in fact,
had despaired of ever realizing a cent,
even hy compromise, are now in position
to dictate terms, and will doubtless press
their claims with vigor, and show no
mercy to the debtor, for in some instan
ces overtures for liberal compromise were
treated with disdain. Under these cir
cumstances, executions will he levied on
every species of property, and in numer
ous instances, men will he reduced to ab
ject poverty, who, but a few days ago,
felt that they were protect in their home
steads hy statutory previsions, and the
decrees of their State courts.
The result of this decision of the Su
i prome Court will have a terrible effect, es-
I [H'eiallv if tlio creditors avail themselves
of the rights it confers. Many small
; planters who have relied upon the pro
| lection aforodod by the Uomstead laws,
I have purchased stock, farm supplies, Ac.,
j and in some instances given liens upon
their stock and crops to secure the credi
tor prompt payment for fertilizers, Ac.
Now, if such parties are pressed to the
wall,’and their property sold under old
executions, they will not only he ruined,
but all recent creditors will suffer loss,
j Again, innocent parties have, in good
! faith, purchased homestead property;
j and they, of course, will have no re
i dress —said property being subject to sale
under executions debarred by State law*.
This decision will certainly work injus
tice to this class of our population.
We frust our citizens, under the eir
custances, will practice charity and bo
lenient to the unfortunate. Such a pol
icy will prove beneficial in the end. t\ e
! concede that the decision of the Supreme
Court is in accordance with the provis
ions of the U. 8. Constitution, but the
manifestat ion of a spirit of magnanimity,
; hy the creditor class, will certainly ben
| efit the country, even if it fails to inline
| diately swell their own coffers,
j In this connection we produce an ar
ticle from the Atlanta Herald on this im
portant subject, end hope its sin gestions
will have weight with the reader. It
1 savs that the decision has created an iin
menu® amount of unhappiness among
the people, and that, the cases of hard
ship that are to result from it, arc very
numerous, so numerous that in our opin
ion, the next Legislature of Georgia will
lie called on to remember them.
Take this ease for instance. A Mr.
Holme*, of Dclvalb county, trailed his
homestead to a Mr, Brown, of the same
county, giving him nine hundred dollars
difference. There were old judgments
against Brown, which, under this decis
ion, arc revived, and a levy is ordered,
not only on the land which Holmes pur
chased from Brown, hut also on the land
which Holmes traded to Brown, and un
less a court of equity shall intervene,
Holmes will lose his nine tmndfed dol
lars and bis home, which isall the property
he has on earth. Here is a case where a
citizen of the State acted in conformity
with the laws of the State, acted under
a decision of the Supreme Court of the
State, and under advice of counsel learn
ed in the law, and the result of it is, he
loses everything he possesses. This is
only one of many similar cases that have
come to our knowledge, and we have no,
hesitation in stating that if this man can
not get relief through a court, of equity,
wo would advocate his relief hy an act of
the Legislature. The State of Georgia
has no right to mislead any of her citi
zens to tibeir ruin a*iu this ease, and
whi'ii she lias done so, she should afford
a remedy.
Take this case: the writer of this arti
cle was interested in a very large proper
ty. There were two very valuable plan
tations and more than two hundred ne
groes. On the negroes there was due at
the close of the war a mortgage of nine
thousand dollars. The negroes were
emancipated, I In*very property for which
this debt was incurred was destroyed by
the act of the State, and yet the debt re
mains unpaid. The Register in Bank
ruptcy purchased the mortgage and sold
out the plantation, which failed to bring
the amount of the debt, The Ancient.
Romans had their jubilee every ten years
when all debts were forgiven. The Gov
ernment acted on the principle that, as
the duty to perform military service car
ried citizens into foreign lands, and thus
deprived families of their support, that
it was hut equitable that all debts which
were due to those that stayed at home to
make money should he forgiven. Tim i
Jews had their jubilee also, and we mild- j
ly submit, that if ever occasion presented
itself in the history of a people when re
lief laws were just and necessary, the j
close of our late war was that occasion.
Thousands of brave men left their lain- j
ilies and homes for four long years. ;
Their pay did not keep them in shoes. |
They returned to find chimneys where
they had left happy homes, all property I
gone, and nothing to remind them of the
past except notes and duo hills, and mort
gages which had fallen into the hands of
some sagacious patriot who placed too
high a value on his life to risk it in his
country’s defence.
The State of Georgia exercising tli"
same sovereignty which had cignpelled
military service, enacted wise laws,.to
save what little was left to this class of
men. Her Supreme Court sustains these |
laws. And lie had hoped that all t! 1
debts were settled, but now comes this j
decision, and all is again confusion and
anxiety.
We will publish in a few days the text
of this decision, that a dear understand
ing may bo had of its full extent and
meaning. We write in the interest of
the people, and not ourselves, for we owe
no old debts, and none are due to us.
Alodoc Mn.ssnc.re of Troops.
The little hand of Modoc Indians, en
trenched in the lava beds of Oregon, in
stead of being exterminated, as was or
dered hv Gen. Grant, are making rapid
headway exterminating the U. 8. troops.
Last week a reconoitering party of sev
enty men, sent out to feel for the Modoes,
it is very evident found and felt them, for
forty-two of said troops are reported
killed, wounded and missing. It did
not result from a battle—it was a real
massacre, ('apt. Jack, it appears, noted j
the movements of the troops, and posted
twenty-five of his warriors behind a bluff, j
and as the soldiers drew near they leaped j
from their ambush and fired a wall-di- j
reeled volley, throwing the little army !
into confusion. The officers, while en
deavoring to restore order, placed them
selves in exposed .positions within range
of the enemy and were shot down. A
portion of the troops behaved shameful
ly, living in every direction to make good
their escape.
A correspondent who visited the scene
of the massacre, says that it presented a
horrible sight. In one cavity there were
found thirty soldiers dead or wounded,
huddled together like slice]', while in an
other seven were found packed together
l in a small space, some dead and others
badly wounded. Five soldiers are miss
ing, and they are in all probability pris
| oners. They will certainly be put to
i death, as no mercy will bo shown them
by the savages.
8o the Modoc war bids fair to to? a
prolonged and expensive one. And
while we h eve no sympathy for the sava
ges, we cannot hut admire their courage,
in stubbornly battling for what they con
ceive their rights.

PICNIC AT BOWEN’S FALLS.
BEAUTY, FLOWEWS AND HAPPINESS.
THE CROWNING OF THE QUEEN
OF MAY.
Mr. Editor :—Il was our privilege on
last Saturday, to attend a picnic May
party, held at. Bowi n’s Falls, hy and tor
the benefit, of Miss Sue E. Sinclair’s
school, whose well appointments we im
agined would interest your readers. Ihe
day broke clear and fair, and the propi
tious orderings of our Supreme Ruler
seemed to have all blended in well mark
ed consistency with the wishes of all con
cerned; and as the gentle rays of the sun
diffused his genial warmth through
meadow and forest, all nature seemeiffto
invite her votaries to the offering of
their warmest tributes.
By eleven o’clock all the company was
assembled; which, I must say, showed an
array of beauty, grace and joyousness
seldom witnessed in so small an assem
blage. The entire surrounding country
seemed to have poured forth its inhabit
ants, both large and small: Quitmanites,,
Dixieit.es, and Dry Lake citizens were no j
rarity- pretty young ladies and gay, fes- j
tive young men, were among the number j
from each place.
The anticipated pleasure even allured i
from the growing “city of Boston” some i
of its gayest denizens of both sexes, j
“Little Frank” looked, and lo ! the “Co- \
mer” came ! After years of absence, and
pleasure such as only old associations I
can call forth from its long hidden re- j
ceptacle, hounded in glad joy through
each heart, as the tell-tale blush too
plainly indicated.
The promised pleasure, now almost a
certainty, ignored the boundary of States,
and brought from the “Land of Flow- j
cm” some of its gayest youths.--
Took)'*, anil Unwins, *Bil Koye* rare,
Ware in llii'lr liveliest humor them.
Now, Mr. Editor, for the business of
the day. The fair young being whom
her companion* had chosen to rule over j
them in the floral kingdom, on this oc
casion, was Miss Janie Sinclair, and ifj
ever Nature’s God moulded a lair rrea- \
lure for earth’s occupancy - likened to
the seraphic paintings of a poet’s iurag- j
ination— truly she was one; in fact, all ,
the Maids of Honor attending in ln-au- j
tv’s charms on her Majesty, were piquant j
and dutiful.
The spooches delivered hy each and ;
every one was to the point, and as they
poured their offerings at the foot of the j
throne, an angel’s smile seemed to play
across the royal eouiiteiuiruv, and a set
tled satisfaction rested on the noble face
of the delighted Teacher, who stood in ;
close proximity, in all the self possession j
of a being who acknowledged no stipe- j
rior, hut welcomed gladly all her equals. :
After the crowning and speeches Were {
over, and heart-greetings had been ex
changed by friends long separated, and
who had been looking forward to this ;
day with so much pleasure, there sud
denly appeared from every conceivable
nook and corner, huge baskets and box- j
es, loaded with good tilings of every va- 1
ritv and description, which being spread
out upon a long table, beneath the grove ;
of densely crowded forest trees, was.soon |
being intensely enjoyed by the assembled i
company. Cakes, candies, and cookeries i
were in huge abundance, and like the;
feast, of olden days, the “refuse” would ;
have fed a multitude. After the repast,]
it was intimated that an announcement;
would bo made from the stand, hut when j
tlie company found it was an intimation ;
for two weeks consideration, they con-j
eluded to eujov the present, so adjourn- j
ed to the school-house, where soon, to j
the music of the violin, they were tip- j
ping the light fantastic toe in all the glee ;
and happiness that youthful and hope- j
sustained hearts could indulge.
Those that did not indulge in the fas- :
dilating amusement, found pleasure in j
boat-rides and in taiding on neighboring j
strawberry patches and milk dairys, and
passed the evening in various other ways
too numerous to mention. Upon the
whole, Mr. Editor, this proved to be one
! of the most successful May picnics it has j
! lvi't'n our pleasure to attend for years, j
| and with each succeeding year we trust
[ these note well cherished haunts will re
! sound to the merry laugh of youthful
voices, and each May party prove as this ;
one I know will, a bright oasis in the
recollection of its participants.
Very truly yours, WILKCLIDS. |
Immigration in Florida.
The citizens of Marion county, Florida , j
are adopting the right policy whereby !
immigration will !>e influenced to that i
State. Oue day last week a number of :
citizens of said eouty met at Ocala, for \
the purpose of considering certain prop- j
ositions submitted by an English Etui- j
gration Society, represented hy Capt. -V.
G. Grant. The plan proposed is as fol- i
lows: to organize a stock company, tin- :
der the laws of Florida, purchase a body
of suitable land, lay it out into twenty
acre lots, and erect on each lot a comfor- ;
table cottage. The lots to be sold to im
migrants at cost, and the terms of pay
ment to be very favorable to the purchas
er . The company was immediately form
ed, and the scheme will lie tested. That
it will prove successful there is not a
: shadow of a doubt.
* Georgia needs some of the Marion j
county spirit to make her immigration
schemes practical. Our large bodies of
lands must be divided into small home
steads, and sold to industrious immi
grants on favorable terms. Offer an in
terest in the soil, and the very best peas
antry of Europe will he found flocking
to our State by thousands; hut if we per
sist hi merely seeking laborers, hut little
will ever he accomplished.
THE <jiIIJUET*IK GEORGIA
THE HANGING OF MISS SUSAN i
EBERHART.
The Storm or Life and the Serenity :
of Death.
[From (he Americas lit'pnblican. of eatut'l.iy.]
Thursday afternoon an order from
Judge Clark was received by the Sheriff,
| to gut a strong guard around the jail, as
j if. iiad been rumored that an attempt
I would lie made to rescue the prisoner j
j from jail. The Sheriff had already clone j
| so, he himself anticipating such a thing.
|No attempt, however, was made. At j
| eight o’clock Friday rooming Rev. J. H. j
j Cawood visit,', and the cell of Miss Eberhart ;
; and held
RELIGIOUS services.
j She was fully composed, manifested
bright hopes, was willing to die, and j
: thought it best that she should die than j
I live. At eleven o’clock a guard of forty j
1 men assembled around the jail, formed a !
| hollow square and inarched to the gal- |
lows. The prisoner and Sheriff Mathews
rode to the gallows together iii a buggy; j
ihe ministers were afoot. Miss.Eberhart j
was neatly dressed in white small figured >
cambric finished calico. This was fur- ;
iiished by the very polite and aecommo- j
dating Sheriff. Tier hair plainly comb- j
ed, two long braids on each side, and
ends tied together, which hung down the j
back, and wearing a “calico sun-bonnet.”
ON THE WAY TO THE GALLOWS ]
slit' told the Sheriff she did not dread
death in the least; felt happy at the pros
pect of noon being better off. Arriving
at the gallows, she alighted from the
buggy seat and ascended the platform
with firm stops. The Rev. Mr. Cawood
then read to her the eighty-eighth and
one hundred and thirteenth Psalms. Af
i ter which he addressed her a few words
I of comfort, saying that lie felyjhc great
i est confidence in the gentiiiienSjs ot her
! conversion and confession of fJRh. The
veiierahlc (b-orge-Blapletoii, oßeffcrsou
■ eountv, then offered up an ekcjP"nt and
i < arnest. prayer to the Throne . *Qrnc> in j
! her behalf. Miss Eberhart then took
A FAREWELL LEAVE
! of her friends; had no fears to die, hut
i was able to rejoice in this hour. Thank
| ed all who had in any way contributed to
' her comfort while in prison, and freely
forgave all who had wronged her. She
felt in her heart that she loved all man
kind and desired to meet them all in
peace in heaven. She then ceased talk- j
ing. The Sheriff than stepp'd up to her j
and said: “Susan, are you ready r” She j
replied:
“yes, i’m ready,"
and walked firmly up tin' steps and stood
on the platform while the Sheriff adjust- j
ed the rope and black cap with great !
tremor. Susan said “The rope is too i
, tight around my neck; I do not want to j
he choked to death.” He then loosened j
it slightly and said: “Susan put your
hands behind you.” She did so, and he
I tied them. He then again asked: “Are
j you ready:” She meekly replied: “Yes,
ready and willing!” At precisely half
! past eleven o’clock
THE PLATFORM DROPPED.
I The full was five feet; she struggled
j but little and in fifteen minutes she w i.s
i pronounced by the attending physicians
|to bo dead; and was cut. down from the
I gallows in nineteen minutes. Her neck
j was not, broken. The doctors made an
! effort by the use of an electric battery to
| revive her, but failed. None of her kin
i dred were present. The body was placed
| in a neat coffin and conveyed toherfath
| er’s house, and will he interred in the
j Baptist Church Cemetery. The conduct
i of Miss Eberhart on the platform was
TRULY TOUCHING,
j and moved those who witnessed it to
j melting tears. The day that Susan Eb
-5 berhart, was himg w.ls the saddest, ever
i witnessed in Georgia. A few hours he
| fore the execution the heavens seemed to
; weep at the solemn tragedy that was
| about to he enacted, for the rain deseend
| ed iu torrents , nd all around was clothed
lin darkness. Immediately after the exe
cution the bright sun made its appear
ance and all nature seemed again to wear
her I‘cautiful apparel. From her state
ment. which she had written, she says
she did nothing in
THE TERRIBLE TRAGEDY
[ except King present and handing Spann I
| t hi' handkerchief when he s called for it to |
[ fill liis wife’s mouth; that she arose from
! her bed, accompanied by him, being held
j by the hand, and this was done at his
' command, through compulsion and fear.
| That she begged and entreated him not !
j to kill his wife. .He said he would, if lie j
| hanged for it. in five minutes afterwards. I
t and that he forced her to do what she j
i did, and that he also forced her to go off
| with him. She begged him in bitter !
! tears to leave her, hut he said: "If you I
I don’t go I’ll pick you up and take you j
j off;” and all along the journey she lx-g
--' ged him to let her go hack home. She
! says she made no such confessions as her
captors swore to on the trial; and : £

I would not have been hangi and, but consid-
