U'cif/ht and Hcasnrment--Differ
ence Between Dm Measure and
Liquid Measure.
Our attention has been frequently call
ed. to the fact that in Quitman there is
no system of regularity in regard to the
weights and measueres used, either hy
our merchants or those bringing articles
for sale or tratio to town. It is very well
known that t here is a statclaw in existence
regulating weight and measurement, p>re
scrihing the standard weights and meas
ures to he used, and that it is a, criminal
offense to deviate from the fixed standard
of either ; l>ut I.ur people do not seem to
underst-nd that there is quite a differ
enc. between dry measure and liquid
measure, and the weights and vess. Is and.
signed for their discrimination. If they
are aware of the difference, they do not
appear to regard it. worthy of observance.
The truth of ties statement can lie
proven by the daily transactions in the
stores and upon the streets. For instance,
grapes, berries, f-wts and vegetables of
C very description, which are sold hv
measurement, are measured as liquid, tn
quart or pint cups, when they propel iy
belong to and should he weighed or
measured as dry measure. Two quarts
of ground-peas, measured in a pint or
quart cup, will male' only about a quart
and a half when put into dry measure, as
they should he.
Ju little matters of this kind it does
not amount to much at a time, hut it
counts up after a while upon hose fre
quently purchasing the arti h s referred
to, and in order to avoid such differences,
we would rail the attention of our town
authorities to themaster, and respectfully
suggest that they give the subject their
attention, and adopt the means practiced
by all other well governed towns, by ap
pointing an inspector, whose duty it
shall he to go to every place of business
and inspect the scales and measures used
within the incorporate limits, once every
month. While this system will wrong
none, it will at the same time deal jus
tice alike to all. The cost of this prac
tice would he nothing to the town authori
ties, and hut little to the dealer. Any
well disposed business man, after taking
the proper view of the matter, will he
willing, yea gratified, to pay from ten to
twenty-five cents i>er month (which will
amply compensate the inspecting officer)
to know that his weights and measures
are correct, and that he is dealing with
others as he is wishing to V dealt with,
and that he is upon the safe > !■ of the
law.
Personally, we have hut little interest j
in this matter, as the Banner is sold j
neither by weight or measure, and the j
most extensive purchases ever made hy
us, which would be in any way affected
hv this system, would he a pint of pea
nuts, or, at this particular season, a
quart of grapes; hut at the request of
some of our business men who are more
or less interested, and as a public jour
nalist, we have thought it not amiss to
throw out these few suggestions, without
reference to any particular class of indi
viduals more than another, and to call the
attention of our Town Council to the
matter.
Sew Stock.
We direct the attention of our readers
to the advertisement of Mr. E. Ives, in
to-day’s Banner, who has just made an
addition to his stock of Confectioneries,
Family Groceries, Toys, Notions, <fce.,
which he assures us he is determined to
sell as low as they can be ymrehased else
where. Mr. Ives is a practical Baker and
Confectioner of experience, and those
purchasing his goods will always get
- pure and wholesome articles. Read his:
i advertisement, and when you get hungry
go to him and he can satiate the most '
-oprbid appetite.
. Gainesville, and the Chickens and
Eyys Thereof.
We have received a private letter from
a friend who is sojourning for a short
while at Gainesville, Hall, Cos., Ga. We
take the liberty of making an extract that
our readers may have some idea'of the
abundance of that region in fowl produc
tions. He says : “During three months
last year they shipped from this place’
forty-five thousand worth of
chickens, and during the year, four mil
lion dozen eggs.” We are afraid some
of those up-eonntry boys have found out
our friend was from the wire-grass, and
have been greening him. When we told
a friend of the statement, he commenced
right away to make a calculation. Let’s
see: §45,000 worth, at eight to the dollar,
would he 360,000 chickens in three
months; 120,000 in one month and about
4000 each day more chickensin Gaines
ville in one day than we have seen in
Quitman lo ! these several years.
Then we went at the egg question :
Four million dozen would be 48,000,000
eggs, at a cent a piece would he 8480,-
000 —money enough, a friend suggests,
to buy the whole of Hall county —min
eral Springs, chickens and eggs with the
old roosters thrown in. And then this
firiend says a man can’t count more than
a million a month, if he does nothing
else, so it would take one man four years
to have counted those eggs; or if they
i were counted in one year, it would require
four men to do il -(wonder if our friend
saw those four men at the Depot contiu
! ually counting eggs.) And then, how
| many hens did it take to lay these eggs!
hut the calculation grows tedious. We
know our friend is a man of veracity, and
j after all, we may he the parties “gulled,"
I and not he. But it is a hard tale to toll
|to a Brooks county; man. Well, when
j our friend returns, which we hope will
he in a week or two, it he will fly up on
| the Court House, flop his wings and
j crow, we may conclude there is some
: thing in his story.
Honor to whom Honor is Due.
While our name appears as principal
editor of the Banner, it must not he for
gotten that Mr. 11. M. Mclntosh is as
sociate editor, and although on account
of his lx-ing so much engaged in the
printing department of the paper, the
editorials devolve chiefly upon us, yet be
finds time to furnish one or more pieces
for almost every issue. Some of his edi
torials are highly creditable, hut we no
tice that our brethren of the press, as
well as our friends at home, when spieak
; ing of them, invariably ascribe them to
| us. Now, in some respects, it suits us
' admirably to have two editors, for if some
| fierce fellow should accidentally take
! offence at something we had written, and
i conclude to give us a thrashing, it would
i be so easy to say that “Henry” is respon
j sihle for that article, and you must settle
I with him, and thus save our carcass,
i (You see we are senior in command, and
I therefore have aright to appoint him to
I the fighting department.) But while we
; are willing to saddle all blame upon him,
; we are not disposed to appropriate all
1 lln- laurels he may he entitled to. IVr
; Imps it might do to sign our initials to
our respective articles,but then thefight
ing fellow might come along, and itmight
not be. so easy to persuade him that B.
stands for Mclntosh. We don’t know
how to fix it, hut. remember there are two
editors, and either of us are willing to
say something smart [whenever the op
portunity offers. " Si’. B. B.
Removal.
The attention of our readers is called
to the advertisement of Messrs. Streoty
& Averett, who have removed their Hard
ware and Tinware store to a more conve
nient. and spacious building, with a view
to enlarging their business, and keeping
a more extensive stock (if stoves and oth
er goods in their line on hand, ihey
have leased the store formerly occupied j
hy Mr. M. C. Wade, and under the Ma
sonic Hall, where they will he glad to see
their friends.

one of the inmates of the house leaking J

see what was the matter. The vidian

and that “without benefit of the clergy.”

Mr. Editor : —ln publishing some
few extracts from Irwin’s Revised Code,
Laws of Georgia, upon the’ sub ject of the
Road law, I omitted to notice theshange
that the Act of 23d Augmst, 1872, made
in the Par. 675 of the Code upon the
subject of Railroad hands working the
county roads, changing the amount to
be paid per diem, from 32.50 to 81.00
p>er diem. Act of October 18, 1871, has
also changed Par. 639 of the Code, and
requires new roads to be Laid out 20 feet
wide instead of 30 feet.

lalitor of the * Blackshear Georgian
on Quitman.
Below we give an extract from the
Blackshear Georgian. If Col. Baker does
not stop criticising the architecture of
our flourishing town, we will get Ham, of
the Eastman Times, to tell again how he
asked permission of a young lady to gal
lant her to church. This request, as set
fort h hy Ham, exhibits a rare specimen of
rhetorical architecture :
QUITMAN.
Quitman is strengthening her cords,
extending her stakes and advancing on
ward on a solid foundation in a prosper
ous career. The court house is a massive
but not a beautiful structure. The por
ticoes are too lofty and do not harmo
nize with the architecture of the main
building. The defect might be remedied
to some extent, hy putting a flat roof on
the porticoes, with a baulstrade around.
This arrangement would at least insure
the roof and ceiling of the building
against, damage from rain. The court
house square is a pleasing park of four
acres she:!.-1 with flourishing oaks. Un
der the energetic and efficient manage
ment of Judge Edward Harden, the able
Judge of the county court, that, park will
be an ornament to the town of Quitman.
The factory building near the depot, is a
| large three story edifice; well built, sur
mounted with a graceful dome and ready
under the able direction of Dr. H. Briggs,
the President. The President courteous
ly conducted ns through the different
rooms and showed us the various process
making the fabrics. The operatives
seemed cheerful, and the complexions
give evidence of good health
Let more capital he added to the in
vestment, and the return of profits would
be more remunerative. In a small in
vestment the ineideetal cost absorbs
| much of the profits, hut make the capital
j ample, and the rate of remuneration in
creases in a, large ratio, for the cost is hut
slightly increased hy the extension. Suf
ficiency of capital is requisite to develop
the manufacturing capacity of a factory,
and make it pay a large per cent. The
Augusta factory pays 200 per cent, and
j why should not the Quitman factory pay
JSO per cent ? Quitman has a fine loea-
I t lon and its march is onward ; has two
newspapers, the Banner, edited hy Col.
\V. 1!. Bennett, and the Independent, hy
Major Gallaher. The people apptear to
give both papers generous aid, which
speaks well for their enterprise and liber
al spirit. It has two good hotels, the
City Hotel and Mclntosh House.
I think STMMONS’ LIVER REGU
LATOR, one of the best medicines ever
made for the liver. I have seen it used
hy my wife and hy many others who
were sick and afflicted, with wonderful ef
fect. It seems to always cure.
