Editor Journal :
I will comply with my promise, lint
shall not attempt to give yon aoeiir
rate Miforinalkui conceroiug the gold
mines ill tln*o “diggina.” Gold fe
ver uppesr and a* an epidemic in this
ooiiuty soon after l)r. I. H. Lone
commenced to develop the Sale mine
In August '77. Since that time Lin
coln county lias turned out or grad
uated -even hundred and thirty-two
fl st.class miners, besides heavy im
portation* from’ Idaho aud Madagas
car. * Irene gentlemen have discov
ered and partly worked twor.tr-tbroe
thousand sine hnudred and eighty
one gold mines, besides a multitude
of other minerals, embracing every
'variety known to science. Seriously,
there i liltio doubt that the mining
interest* of the county lravo twieu se
riously effected by the extravagant
assertions and iguorau e of new con-
verts to the business.
There is ftiiii another class „f
“prospectors" who do great damage
to the cause. I allude (o the class of
adventurer* who represent themselves
to be either experts in mining, or Pi
represent capital. Such capitalists
seldom have any endoinumeut except
their cheek, and Seven-tenths of them
arc thieves.
Lincoln county, as you arc aware, j
is bounded on three aides by rivers, I
and gold is known to exist in consul
crubl- qnautitie* on all of the laud !
adjacent to lliesc streams, and on j
much of other and more central par- 1
tioHs, Unfortunately, but little Ims j
been done to develop tin) wealth of j
this region. Tim Halo m.no, which !
is the only one Hint has a Wall street
reputation, is yielding about two
pounds of gold per day. This mine
was well known and profitably work
ed at several different periods previ
ous to the war. It was reopened by
Dr. Lane, who now has control, anil
who inis furnished large percentage
-f the brain that has brought out tlm
yellow “truck.' Northern capital ia
not needed near so much as thorough
scientific and prueti ■! knowledge of
mining. Your old friend (Job J.
Del' ll imp ,Smith, who has perhaps
done more to adviuioo the mineral
wealth of this section than any other
man in the counties adjacent to him,
tins, it is reported, sold his interest
in tlie Magruder mine, amt will, It la
to be hoped, direct his e icrgion to'
soinu new held, where Ilia knowledge
and long expert 1 lice will makoflt
profitable. The Magruder mine is
conceded to lie one of tlie very best
in the South, and it is to be Imped
tlm) the new purahanere will develop
its full capaoity and value.
Out thing badly needed is a cor
rect map of Ibis portion of Georgia
and the mineral belt of South Osni
llnn adjacent. A map giving seen
rate iiiforniuUon and known to b?
authentic, would greatly enhance the.
value of the land, and would, per
haps, do much to bring the hidden
treasure to the surface. H.
Home people are finding fault with
the extra session of Congress on ac
count of its longevity. It should Ire
remembered that Mr Hayes called
this session of Congress because lie
couldn’t have appropriate ms for the
support of tlie government made in
Hie interest of tlie Republican party.
Sir. lllives is responsible for this
Congress, and we don’t care if it sits
until next Christmas.
When tin' next great Republican
orator ri-os to annihilate the Demo
critus for demanding the repeal of the
law which authorizes the use of
troops at the polls, ho would do troll
Cos reply al o to this extract from a
speech by William 11, Howard:
“Civil liberty and a standing army
for tbo purposes of e vil police have
never yet stood together and never
can stand together." And so say
all of ns.
Too Supreme Court of North Car
olina lias rendered an important de
cision ou the legality of ootfou eon
tructs for future delivery. Tlie Court
holds that "mauy advanced to a eot

The Aaron's rod of the day is pnd

my mind an article that appeared in
the Clnoiiiole and ('•onstitntiouaiiid
some time ago, headed “Walking .tr-
AijWrtto,*’ which, lam told, was fully
verified on the day of the hanging.
Nineteen or twenty of those peram

do not, so tiicy can protect them- j
selves against those who are air reck
less of human life.
The eool day* ami still cooler

Corn is looking very well but

I hear no complaint* about llie rust

In the issue of the Jock
7th instant, there appeared a com
munication over the name of “Obaar
vator," which for misrepresentation
| and gross injustice to the good citi
zens of Liucolutou and Lincoln Couu
ity could hardly be surpassed. The
i article was sent direct to the Joins
i nau office and did not pass under oar.
; im.pection. Therefore, we have no
idea of th-* iduntity of tlu writer, but
are loth to believe that there is -in
individual in our e*unty, aud, we
have a turn 1 to say, iu the Stab-, wlu*
could manifest such utter disrespect
for the good people of Liuool • Urn
and Lincoln county, ns to seek to
create tb impression fas “Otwrcrvu
tor" bus done) that they are little
better than vagabonds and row.be*.
Our editor-in-chief writes us that Ire
inserted tire article because Uie coi
uin ns of the Jot'kKALi are up*u to ad
who will assume the respousitiilitv ut
rebuking what they may consider' w
public wrong, and knowing tlmt if
the statements of “Observator ' <*ccj>
false or oxagersted a prompt ounce ,
tioo w mild oorae from us er some of
our citizens. In this belief he was
correct, ns will tie. seen in this article
and the communication of “CutZee,"
which we publish below.
There is something menu and lire
graded iu the intent of “Observator."
He vilifies a people who are neither
lees modest, industrious, or refined
than those of any village iu the HI ate
-ft people who are as free of the
filthy habits with which lie charges
them as way other iu the world.
There are no "loafer meetings," a*
he stylos them, in Lincoln ton. Men
and boys go there on business or ior
pleasure, but they are as gentleman
ly and refined in their matioers as
any ill the ".State, “Owr-ntjl" ty
the ooutmVy notwithstanding. VY"
dei y tlmt the people wb > gather
around oor stores use unbecoming or
vulgar language in the prcseiise of
ladies. We also deny that any lady
has ever quitted a Linooluton store
•embarrassed or disgusted with (lie
conversation of those who chanced to
Ist there. A prominent m.-reliant of
Linooluton assured ns a few days ago
that-the article of “Observator” was
false in toto; that he had never ex
perienced the least trouble in getting
the use of Iris counter*, and tlmt he
had never heard anything of the low,
mirefiuixl conversation of which “Ob
sorvator” complains. And we be
lieve tlmt every business man of tiro
town will any the same thing.

Linooiaton-, Ga., May 22, 18718.
Editor Journal:
Linooluton ia n quiet, unassuming
little place, with three stores. The
Merchants are nil clover aud obliging
gentlemen, but not so good natural
but what they would kick a fellow
forty summersault* ;f he wore to use
profane language in tlie presence of
Indies in their houses of business.
Tlie merchants all keep clinir* in
their stores, except one, ami when a
person goes iu Ins atoro they have to
either seat themselves ou a nail keg,
or leave, and that probably aoe.umts
for the ladies retiring so soon. t>b
eervator should Ire very particular
when lie writes for the public gaze,
and tell fact*.
There is not a loafer iu the little
village of Linooluton. F.xerpt the
merchants and professional fraternity,
the rest follow the plow daily. I
have seen men who, I thought.- hud
a mania to get iuto public priut, umV'
I think, that is tlie case wit’ll “Observ-’’
ator. ’ Well, be bn, made *liis de
but, and shown himself an enemy to
the village and community at large,
and baa certainly had a considerable
amount of training iu "loafer meet
ings” U> manufacture such falsehoods
as appear in Ilia letter, which lie saya
is written for the benefit of tbs com
munity and social welfare of tbo vil
lage. What good did he expoct the
village nnd community to derive from
snob slanderous charges as he iu his
nicked heart has publish'd?
Now, "Obaefvator," if you are a
resideut of Linooluton I would advise
you to employ your time, talents,
energy, and money (if you have any)
in building up your reputation and
advancing the count n interest of
Lincoln nuil the country at large.
For what you have done I recom
mend of the good people whom yon
have wronged. Citizen.
