Honey, Esq., will hereafter be conducted by 11. C. Roney 4 J. E. White, Editor* and Proprietom. Dec. IC, 1872. To Oni* PntronM. W* owe an apology to the many kind friend* of the Journal, who hare, and are, giving it unch a liberal and oeneron* support, for the small summit of reeling matter which the crowded condition of our column* ha* enabled ua to give them for aotne time past. Thia haa lieen caused liy the heavy increase of bnsiness which always happens at this season of the year in all thrifty, growing town* like ours, where wide-awake, energetic traders and merchants are anxion* and prompt to advertise their l.nsines* and wares to the public. We are confident, however, that onr patrons will extend their indnlgent forliearance yet a little further when they reflect that snch good lnck seldom falls to the lot of the poverty-stricken printer. We are glad to announce, however, that we have and will *< on receive all the necessary material for enlarg ing the Journal to nearly twice its present capacity, with an entire new dress, and everything requisite to make onrs one of the very best weekly papers in the Htato, of which not only the proprietors, but the people thomselve* shall be proud. Though young in years, the Journal has already won an enviable position in public opinion at home and abroad ; and lieing the official organ and pub lic representative of some of the richest and best com: ties of the State, and with a large and rapidly increasing circulation, it is certainly one of the " host advertising mediums in the South. The first of our next Volumn will be issued on the seeond Wednesday in January 18711, after which time wo will bo compcllod, in order to meet the heavy oxpenses necessary for the improvement a id enlargement of the Journal, to require of am, thr cash in advance for subscriptions, and those In arrears will, after a reasonable time, tie dropped from our lists. It is unnecessary for ns to aseert Unit we cannot edit, print and publish the Journal or any other paper, ami pay onr own cxiienses, with' ut. money. Wo am very anxious to begin the next volume with a large increase of subscribers, ami fineeroly hope that our friends will come for ward without further urging, pay up what they owe. renew tboir subscriptions and induce their neighbors to join them in a liberal sup£>ort of their homo paper. InleroMlluyf Communion ♦ !<m. We are in receipt of Hie following letter from Judge William Gibson which, relating to e sub ject of much interest anil importance to our people, the Judge kindly permits ns to publish. Tho reasons and fact* herein stated ami coming from such a trustworthy source ought to satisfy evory reflecting man of the error of ati attempt to repeal the Act establishing McDuffie County. Aooitbta, Ga., Doc. lti, 1872. Farevn Roney i I regret to see a division among our friend* in McDuffie County, and while the stated cause is large taxes, it is a little surprising how such a cause should influence so many pom.-tax payors which, under niir present Constitution, cannot anr whereexceed one dom.au, excepting possibly, de faulters. The first yoarof your organisation, (lie taxes of your citizens were paid into the Treasuries of War ren nml Columbia counties ; hence your worthy Ordinary had to borrow funds to pay all neces sary county expenditures. Tho Hamilton band of robbers, too, hsd their headquarters in your county, and to bring them to justice ami grief, on account of having no jail, and the expenses of jurors and witness*, large expenditures were neces sarily made. The prompt an.l speedy justice ad ministered by the good people of your noble coun ty to the known members of this hand, beoauii xehs or expense, I doubt not has made strong ene mies to your county by their friends and survivors. All new enterprises, as well as new counties, must necssarUy lneurexpensoa, as is well known to men of intelligence and common sense 1-efore, as after creation; hence any argument and reason upon this line, should he urged before, and considered as settled after the action of the Legislature crest ing your county, and none other but turbulently disposed peoples, who recognize nothing as settled and fixed unless their wishes arc gratified and con formed to, will aeck, for this reason, to disturb fixed and settled laws, solemnly passed and fully recog nized by the constituted author-ties of State. For reasons since the creation of your county let the facts be stated, charges made and the is sues submitted to the intelligent peoples of your county, and I doubt not in the coming and future elections by your peoples fnl! and complete reme dies will lie applied. Os the- four Counties comprising this Judicial Circuit your county taxes are less by fifty per cent than two of them, and they are the two largest, wealthiest and oldest counties in the Rate, and but a fraction greater than the other. The tax able property of your county, in its infancy, ex ceeds over fifty eon dies in the State, and voting population over sixty. The commerce and trade of your county town, Thomson, exceed Warrenton, Appling, Orawfordville, Sparta, t'onyer ior Deca tur, and equal Greenslioro, Madison or Ooving ton, and are rapidly increasing. Warren and Columbia are still more than average counties, both doing well, and, instead of feeling at ail envious of your growth and progress, I doubt not feel proud of your rapid strides and progress; ami through the generous, true and noble representa tives whom they now have in the Legislature, I doubt not will lend you a supporting and helping hand. It will require a two-third vote of the Le gislature to repeal the Act creating your county, and 1 doubt not also an Executive Veto lienee I feel no apprehension whatever as to the future of your county, and 1 trust no panic will lie creat ed in the sale of your Bonds, authorized by the last Legislature, as in xo possible kyent cocld a UVEAL 111. BAD WITHOUT PBOVIDING IXUt XHLIU PAY MENT. From my standpoint I have felt ca.led upon to sav this much: and I trust that when the smart of a few dollars shall have passed, and calm thought and reflection resume their proper position, that at least all the good men of your county will aban don their worse than unless strife. I am, very respectfully Ac., \VM. GIBSON. W.B. Shank. AT THE BOSTON STORE.
