©jc Constitutionalist AUGUSTA, GA.= Thursday Morning, December 2,1875, A Close, Hard Man. A hard, close man was Solomon Ray, Nothing of value he gave away; He hoarded and saved: He pinched and shaved; And the more he had the more he craved. The hard-earned dollars he tolled to gain Brought him little but care and pain; For little he spent, And all he lent He made it bring him twenty per cent. Such was the life of Solomon Ray, The years went by, and his hair grew gray, His cheeks grew thin, And his soul within Grew hard as the dollars he worked to win. But he died one day, as all men must, For life is fleeting and man but dust, The heirs were gay That laid him away, And that was the end of Solomon Ray. They quarrelled now, who had little cared For Solomon Ray while his life was spared, His hands were cold, And his hard-earned gold All went to the lawyers, 1 am told. Yet men will cheat, and pinch, and save, Nor carry their treasures beyond the grave. All their gold some day Will melt away Like the selfish savings of Solomon Ray. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. Decisions Rendered in Atlanta, Ga., November 30, 1875 —Hon. llirain Warner, Chief Justice —Hons. L. E. Bleckley and James Jackson. Judges. [Atlanta Constitution.] Frances, Jr., assignee, vs. Martin, Herz & Cos. Claim, from the City Court of Augusta. WARNER, C. J. This was a claim case. The plaintiffs in execution levied their ft fa. on a stock of goods as the property of the defendants therein, which was claimed by Frances, assignee, under a deed of assignment dated 30th of April, 1874 The judgment on which the plaintiffs’ execution issued was dated 29th of May, 1874. The question as to the validity of the assignment was submit ted to the judgment of the court on the statement of facts contained in the record. The court decided that the deed of assignment was void as to all of the creditors who had not accepted it. To this decision of the court the claimant excepted. The deed of as signment under which the claimant claimed the property, is in the follow ing words, to-wit: “State of Georgia, Richmond county. This indenture, made and entered into this, the 30th day of April, A. D., 1874, between William McCabe and John S. Costello, doing business in the city of Augusta, State of Georgia, under the lirm name of McCabe & Costello, of the first part, and James C. Frances, Jr., of the city of Augusta, State of Georgia, of the second part, witnesseth that whereas said parties of the first part owe divers debts which they are unable to pay in full, and are desirous to provide for the payment of the same, by assignment of all firm prop erty for that purpose. Now, therefore, know all men by these presents, that the said parties of the first part, in consideration of the premises and of the sum of one dollar in hand, well and truly paid by said party of the second part, at and be fore the signing and delivery of these presents, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, have granted.bargained, sold, assigned, transferred and set over, and by these presents do grant, bar gain, sell, assign, transfer and set over unto the said party of the second part, his heirs, executors, administra tors and assigus, all the goods, chat ties, stocks, promissory notes, debts, chosen in action, evidences of debts, claims, demands, property and effects of every description, now owned by said parties of the first part, as firm proper ty, and especially all that 9tock of dry goods now in store No. 228 Broad street, Augusta, Georgia, together with the notes, accounts and books apper taining to the business of said parties of the first part, as merchants. To have and to hold the same and every part thereof, in trust, for the uses and purposes following; 1. To take possession of the said property, and to sell and dispose of the .same with reasonable diligence, either at public or private sale, for cash or credit, and to convert the same into money; and also to collect all such debts and demands hereby assigned as mav be collectable, and with the rest of the proceeds of such sales and col lections. • 2. To pay and discharge all just and reasonable expenses, costs and charges of executing this assignment, of carry ing into effect the trusts hereby crea ted, including lawful commissions of said party of the second part, for his services in executing the said trusts. 3. To pay and discharge in full, if the residue of said proceeds is sufficient for that purpose, all the debts or lia bilities now due or to become due from said parties of the first part, to the creditors enumerated in the annexed schedule, marked exhibit “A,” who shall, within one month from the date of this assignment, signifying their ac ceptance of the same, and release said parties of the first part from further liability, on account of said debts. And to such other creditors, if any, who shall within one month from such date, present their claims duly proven to said party of the first part, and shall also sign a release as aforesaid; and if the residue of said proceeds shall not be sufficient to pay the said debts and liabilities in full, then to apply the name, so far as they will extend to the paymeut of said debts and liabilities proportionately to their respective amounts. And if, after payment of all costs, charges and expenses attending the execution of said trust, and the pay ment iu full of all lawful debts owing by said parties of the first part, as co partners, there shall remain any sur plus of said proceeds in the hands of said party of the second part, then — 4. To apply such surplus toward the payment of the individual debts and liabilities of said naities of the first part, the share belonging to each of the respective parties, to be applied to the payment of the debts of such party (and not to the debts of the other), without preference to the indi vidual creditors. And for the better securing the exe cution of the trusts hereby created and reposed, the said parties of the first part do hereby constitute and appoint said party of the second part, their true and lawful attorney irrevocable, with full power and authority to do and perform, acts, deeds, matters and things which may be necessary in the premises, and to the full execution of said trusts, and to demand, recover and receive of, and from, all and every person, all the property debts and Remands belonging, or owing, to said parties of the first part, as co-partners, and to give acquittances and dis charges for the same, and to sue, prosecute auli defend, and implead for the same, and iPt the purpose afore said, or for any of them, to construct and appoint one or more attorneys under him, and at his pleasure to to revoke the same, hereby ratifying whatever the said party of the second part, or his substitute or attorney shall lawfully do. The said party of the second part hereby accepts the trust created, and 1c him reposed by these presents, being responsible only for actual receipts or wilful defaults. In witness whereof, said parties of the first and second parts, have here in "to set their hands and affixed their seals, the day and year above written.” The plaintiffs, as the creditors of the defendants in ft. fa., did not accept the terms of the assignment. The assignment in this case, comes within the ruling of this court, in Mcßryde vs. Bohannan, 50th Geo. Rep. 527, and is controlled by it. Let the judgment of the court below be affirmed.

SICK HEADACHE, CON STIPATION, COLIC and BILIOUSNESS. it is eminently a Family Medicine, and by being kept ready for immediate resort, will save many an hour of suf fering, and many a dollar in time, and doctors’ bills. Al ter Forty Years’ trial, it is still re ceiving the most unqualified testimo nials of its virtues, from persons < f the highest character and responsibility. Eminent physicians commend it as the most EFFECTUAL SPECIFIC for Constipation, Headache, Pain in the Shoulders, Dizziness, Sour Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpi tation of the Heart, Pain in the Region of the Kidneys, Despondency, Gloom, and Forebodings of Evil, all of which are the offspring of a diseased Liver. The Liver, the largest organ In the bodv, is generally the seat of the dis ease', and if not Regulated in time, great suffering, wretchedness, and DEATH will ensue. IF you feel Dull, Drowsy, Debili tated, have frequent Headache, Mouth Tastes bally, poor appetite and Tongue Coated, you are suffering from Torpid Liver or ‘ Biliousness,’’ and nothing will cure you so speedily and permanently. “I have never seen or tried such a simple, efficacious, satisfactory and pleasant rein l edy iu my lir*”—H.

The Cheapest and Best Fertilizer in Use in Georgia. XTOTHING in the way of a Fertilizer and iNI Renovator of old soils has been found equal to PURE OYSTER SHELL LIME. It is not only for one year, but its good effects are seen and continues for eight to ten years. Lime is greatly beneficial to all Grain Crops, applied as a top dressing, and also to Potatoes and all root crops, and should be applied in quantities not less than sto 30 bushels per acre. For Compost Heaps it is invaluable, and to the planters of Georgia this plan of using Lime is speci ally recommended to bring up our State to the front rank in Agricultural matters. The cheapness of our OYSTER SHELL LIME will recommend it to every farmer who has used fertilizers largely for the past few years. Its value is greatly enhanced by its long years of service, acting as it does for years after its application has been forgot ten. In soils abounding in vegetable sub stances the manurial quality in Lime is more fully recognized. Nitrogen abounds in all soils of common fertility', but little of it is available—Lime uulocks this store house of Nitrogen and renders it readily available for plant food. A splendid and eeono ical compost fertilizer may be made by thoroughly mixing one bushel of salt and three of Lime, and let the mixture stand six to eight weeks bofsre using. This is specially adapted to using in drills for Turnips. The cheapness and facility of procuring this wonderful renovator of the soil ought to make it one or the first objects of the farmer (who desires to improve his land) to obtain it. Nothing In the way of a fertilizer or renovator has been found equal to it, as proved by the increased yield of crops and permanent improvement of the soil at a cost less, by far, than any other manure. We are prepared to furnish PUKE OYSTER SHELL LIME in any quantity at $lO per ton of 2,000 pounds, free of cart age, on cars in Port Royal, S. C. We ului Have a Compuuiul for Prevent - Itijf Hot in Grapeg for sale at S3O per ton. Give it a trial. TERMS STRICTLY CASH IN A&VAJJOE, Send all orders to PORT ROYAL LIME CO.. PORT ROYAL, S. C. W. D.

I nave been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers an and Finisher Lappers, witn Eveners, tor more then two vears oast at the Cotton Mm or tne Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the most satisfactory of any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, we have not weighed a pound of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without being curled or knitted; the seeuing and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against nre. Yours Ac.. M. F.
