Your correspondent sends sundry jottings
taken here and there in one of his jaunts
through our grand old commonwealth, in
which he is proud to claim nativity and
citizenship. They are merely fragmentary,
and not intended to be woven into any con
nected narrative. First, then, beginning in
median res, let us speak of Rocky Ford.
This is a pretty village in Scriven county,
sixty-five miles from Savannah, which de
rives its name from a shoal in the Ogee
chee river about one mile distant,
where the rocks crop out to the
surface of the stream, which roars and
l ushes over them almost with the velocity
of a cataract. Just here, before the bridge
was built the river was forded, and the
vicinity abounds in still pools of the clear
est water where the trout have their hiding
places and are wont to rise and yield to the
and treacherous contrivances of
the disciples of Isaac Walton.
The embryo town boasts three well-stocked
general stores, owned and run respectively
by Messrs. G. M. Parker, Newton & Parker
and A. B. Kieffer. It has also one school
with thirty pupils, conducted by Prof.
George W. Bailey, and three church organ
izations, each anxious to erect its own
temple of worship. A large school house
has been partially completed, which will be
used for the present as a union church.
THE SCRIVEN COUNTY LUMBER COMPANY,
of which W. P. Lake is the efficient mana
ger, and G. W. Kendrick the master builder
of the several structures, has for its spe
cialty the kiln drying process for the speedy
seasoning of newly cut green lumber. The
plant cost $30,000, and the capacity of the
kiln is 45,000 feet, which it requires only
about five days to turn out perfectly dry
and ready for tbe builder’s hands. The
shrinkage is so great that the same car
that could deliver 7,000 feet of green
lumber only, can take away 15,000 feet
when kiln-dried. To afford some idea of
the widely extended business of the concern,
during our visit ten cars were loading with
kiln-seasoned stuff for Washington city and
two for Atlanta. The capacity of the plan
ing machine is 10,000 feet of dressed and
jointed flooring boards per day. Another
important feeder to the village is the large
steam
SAW MILL OK E. E. FOY & CO.
in the near vicinity. The concern includes
a shingle and lath machine also, and 25,000
feet is the daily output of sawed lumber.
This employs seventy-five hands, and over
nine miles of priva-e railway, and two
tram engines. Where the laud is not the
property of the company, they purchase
the timber at from $1 to $2 per acre, and
cut all the trees thßt will measure 14 inches
from ’’hark to bark.” The writer visited the
mill and is indebted to My. A. J. Brinson
the polite manager and part proprietor, for
these facts.
Mr. H. C. Kittles, a practicing lawyer
and occasional contributor to the newspa
iws, also keeps a boarding house at Rocky
ford. The writer was indebted to him for
many courtesies.
SYLVANIA.
We made a brief visit to this pleasant
village also, which is the county seat of
Screven. And just here we are tempted to
digress a moment and show how the ques
tion has at length been finally settled as
to the proper sjielling of the word
Screven. The act of the Legislature
naming the county in honor of the gallant
partisan Gen. James Scriven, of Liberty
county, then St. John’s parish, who in the
first, revolutionary war was ambuscaded
within one mile of old Midway church by a
hand of Tories and British and mortally
wounded, spelling the word with an “i,
but a letter written by the General himself
has been recently resurrected, in which his
signature is plainly “Screven.” Of course
this settles the matter, which is of little
consequence save to the people of that
county.
Sylvania enjoys a deserved reputation for
the refinement and good morals of her citi
zens. It was the home of the lamented
Black, and is pleasantly located and noted
for its health and salubrity.
PERSONAL.
Among her prominent merchants, may be
mentioned the names of I. F. Lovett, R. W.
Wells. Bruno Pfeiffer, L. H. Hilton, Dr. M.
D. Lanier and others. Judge M. M. Potter,
the Ordinary, is held in high estimation,
and doubtless, if he desires it, holds a life
time lease of the office.
Dr. George B. Douglass is an old and
honored citizen and medical expert.
Mr. Wells, the popular railroad conductor,
also runs a nice boarding-house, which is
well patronized.
John C. Dell, Esq., of the law firm of
Dell & Wade, belongs to an old Screven
county family, and is also Vice President of
the Sylvania Railroad Company. This en
terprise is making money, but needs a
better water supply and should conform
more strictly to its time table. It has done
wonders for Sylvania and Scriven county.
ALMOST A CENTENARIAN.
Mr. Bryant Odum, a citizen of Scriven
county, who resides in the forks of Briar
creek, is 99 years of age, and still hale and
henrty. He served with Gen. Jackson
ngaiust the Indians in 1818.
MILLEN.
This pretty railway town continues to
improve and controls a large and lucrative
trade. Cotton comes in freely and com
mands fair prices.
MAGNIFICENT FARMING.
Mr. E. Daniel, who runs an extensive gen
eral store in the place, will make sixty
bales of cotton from three plows. About
seventeen bales to the plow have already
been sold. His brother, Mr. J. H. Daniel,
on a ten-mule farm has marketed eleven
bales to the plow and w ill gather four more,
in addition to an abundance of corn, peas,
etc. The first named gentleman has thirty
plows run by tenants, which will average
•en bales to ttie plow. On another farm,
with thirteen mules, he will house 150 bales
of cotton. In all, Mr. Daniel runs 113
plows, and will send
ONE THOUSAND BALES
of cotton to market. The firm of Daniel &
ben to date has received and disposed of
about 1,400 bales of the great staple.
That universally known hostelry, the Mil
len Hotel, has recent ly changed hands, Mr.
lb T. Muthows succeeding Mr. Tyre in the
management anil proprietorship. Mr.
'lethews keeps an excellent house and de
serves to he liberally patronized. .
A NOVEL INDCBTRY.
In addition to his heavy mercantile busi
ness Mr. Riehanl Berrien, a nephew of the
late Senator, finds time to indulge occasion
ally in field sports, and owns a number of
pointers and setter dogs of the purest breeds,
whioh are in much request. Within a year
he has sold S4OO worth of these fancy ani
mals.
WAYNESBORO.
Of this town the remark has often been
made that it does more business than any
place of double the population in the State,
i o the visitor at this season this is evident
a glance. There is cotton here, cotton
'here, and cotton everywhere. The depot
platform was crowded with the gi eat staple.
and even on the streets cotton bales standing
on end in serried ranks almost blockaded the
stores. Burke is the leading cotton produc
ing county in Georgia, and every bale she
raises is delivered and marketed at
Waynesboro. Under the old re
gime nearly the entire crop was
hauled to Augusta and sold there by the
commission merchants on planter’s account.
Now all is changed in this respect, and
hence the solid and wonderful growth of the
county seat, Waynesboro. Since our visit,
the depot and several hundred bales of cot
ton have been destroyed by fire. The loss
falls mainly upon the Central railroad.
Maj. Wilkins, of this place' will haven
fine display of blooded horses and cattle at
the State Fair.
SW AINSBORO.
Your scribe, owing to the detention by
the wav of the train from Atlanta, which
reached Alidvilie after the depart ure of the
Swamesboro cars, was forced to unite in
procuring a carriage with three clever com
mercial travelers and proceed by dirt road
to that village, distant 18 miles. We drove
through an elevated pine region, where the
clay crops out to the surface and the soil,
with a little assistance, produces fine crops
of corn, cotton, oats nnu sugar cane. The
journey was enlivened by the wonderful
musical ventriloquism of our Jehu, from
whose throat welled forth the most dulcet
notes, resembling tin) delightful strains of
an vEolian harp
It was after night before we reached our
destination, but were comfortably lodged
and generously entertained by “mine host,”
Mr. George S. Rountree, who presides over
the new hotel. None but the most captious
and unreasonable could fail to be satisfied
with the beds and fare of this establish
ment.
Swainsboro has a considerable trade.
Among the prominent merchants may be
mentioned J. C. Coleman, J. N. McLeod,
MeLemore & Overstreet, Dr. Green Bell and
Powell & Enneis. The town has recently
sustained a severe loss in the death of Mr.
Edenfield, a public spirited and most worthy
citizen.
“PINE FOREST”
is the appropriate name of the weekly paper
which is owned and published by Alfred
Henington. a promising young lawyer, who
will be the sole editor also after Oct. 21.
The drought in this section still continues,
and the deepest ponds and swamps are bone
dry. The cotton crop is nearly all gathered
and will fall short of an- average.
It is impossible to sow small grain, and po
tatoes and peas will prove almost a failure.
Here we break off and conclude inconti
nently. H. H. J.
WHEN GOULD BORROWED $5.
How He Lost His Tannery in Pennsyl
vania Thirty Years Ago.
Frrnn the New York World.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 12. —The news
that the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany has swallowed up the Baltimore and
Ohio organization, and the fact that Jay
Gould is the head and front of the latter
company, recall to people here the time, less
than thirty years ago, when Jay Gould was
a bankrupt and practically penniless neigh
bor. Htanley Woodward, additional Law
Judge of the courts of this county, was the
receiver of the firm of which Jay
Gould was a junior member, and
which for some years prior to 1861
had a tannery at Gouldsboro, in Buck town
ship, then in this county but now in Lacka
wanna countv. The neighborhood was
primitive at that time, a little clearing sur
rounded by dense forests, and it is still pretty
much the same. Zadoc Pratt, a well-known
tanner in New York sent Gould there. The
tannery was located about six miles distant
from Gouldsboro Station and the hides
were hauled to and the leather from the
tannery over a plank road built for the pur
pose. Leupp, Lee & Cos. -were importers of
hides in New York. They brought large
quantities of hides from Buenos Ayres and
sent them to Gouldsboro to be tanned, and
Jay Gould superintended the process and
kept the accounts. For a time the affairs
of the partnership moved along swim
mingly. Then the partners quarreled
and in a little time the dispute became very
bitter.
Actual war followed. Lee organized a
force of daring men and marched upon the
tannery. Gould had also organized a force
and held the tannery, which he had strongly
barricaded in anticipation of the attack.
Lee demanded capitulation. Gould refused.
A hot conflict ensued, in which not only
sticks and stones, but rifles and bullets, were
used. But Gould held possession. Subse
quently all were arrested. Then proceed
ings were begun on the equity side of the
court for a dissolution of the partership.
Leupp, Lee &■ Cos. were represented in the
suit by Evarts, Southinayd & Choate, the
head of the firm being the present United
States Senator from New York. Gould’s
attorneys were Messrs, McClintock & Nich
olson, of this city.
It is remembered that in these proceedings
Gould gave many evidences of his remark
able powers of intuition, rapidity of thought
and promptitude in action for which he has
since become famous. As in all equity pro
ceedings, many affidavits as to particular
matters were constantly being required,
and Gould would sit at the table listening to
the lawyers on both sides discussing the
necessity or non necessity for an affidavit,
and by the time the court had decreed that
it should pr couldbe made it would be ready
In Gould’s own handwriting. He would
gather an understanding of what was want
ed from the speeches and proceed immedi
ately to the making of it. He wrote a good,
clear hand aud very rapidly. Judge Wood
ward says he cannot recall any other in
stance of equal quickness and aptitude on
the part of a client.
Asa result of the suit a dissolution of the
firm was decreed by the court and Judge
Woodward, then a young lawyer, glad
enough of such a windfall, was appointed
receiver He took possession of the tan
nery, from which, however, nearly every
thing of value had been removed. There
was about $9,000 on credits, and the tan
nery, tools, stock, horses, mules and personal
property generally, amounted to about $7,-
000 more. The receivership continued
through several years before all the tangled
accounts could be straightened out. What
remained at the settlement went to Leupp,
Lee & Cos., Gould’s debits amounting to
more than his share of the proceeds. He
was a bankrupt, and the best evidence that
such was the ease is the fact that, before
leaving, which he did soon after tho receiver
was appointed, he borrowed $5 of J. Lewis
Simmons, or “l/ov,” as he is familiarly
called,the keeper of the little hotel of Goulds
boro Station, to help pay his expenses back
to New York. Simmons is there yet, and
the $5 is still owing, though, of course,
the great speculator lias forgotten the debt,
or he would have returned it long ago with
interest.
The next his acquaintance heard of Gould
was that he had been made Superintendent
of a railroad in Vermont. A little later he
was President of the road. His career since
is public property.
Years afterward Judge Woodward met
Gould at Saratoga. They recognized each
other. Gould told Woodward, m answer to
the latter’s question, that his stewardship
had been well performed.
“Then,” said the Judge, jocosely, “I have
only this to ask, that if you should ever need
a receiver again you will remember the fact
and give me tho place."
(iould answered with a smile eloquent of
his conviction that he was not at all likely
ever again to he at the mercy of a re
ceiver, and it is probably sate enough to
assume that he will at least never be re
duced to the necessity of borrowing $5 to
pay his railroad fare on a journey in search
of a job.
It was but twenty-six years ago that
theso things happened, and tho fact that in
that short time ho has climbed from such
dire straits to the possession of millions and
the place of dictator of practically all the
telegraph and much of tho railroad in
terests of the country is almost as marvel
ous as the wildest recitals of the writers of
fiction.
