THURSDAY. JUNE 3, 1*81.
JASPER, PICKENS COUNTY.
Collector Clark, ol Atlanta, tela,
graphed to Commissioner Itaura in
Waahington City laat week that
twenty five or thirty men went to
Morganton, Fannin county, while
the Superior Court wua in aeaaion
and broke iu the wall of the j til and
releaaed priaoncra charged with vi
olation of internal rcvenuu lawa mid
burning Stuarts properly. aUo the
release of two uicn from Pickens
comity jail.
A reporter ou the Constitution
states these facts as given to 'him by
a gentleman from Gainesville:
<>1 gm reliably informed that thero
is uo truth tu tnc statement that
thirty men breku down the wall of
the jail at Morganton, Fautiili coun
ty, (In., and rescued a number of
revenue prisoners; The facts we
hear are these: The jail is built of
logs and veneered with brick out
side, and iu veneering, the flftuea
containing the galea were set in like
window or door frames. The pris
oners, without any sort of outside
aid, pushed the frame and gate out
side und made their escape. These
•re the facts m given by a state pns
oner who was in the same jail and
refuted to go out with the other pris
oners. Ue says that there was not a
soul present except the prisoners,
and that no aid was rendered them/’
As to the Pickens jail delivery we
are reliably informed by a gentleman
who lives in the town of Jasper, that
there was uo assistance rendered the
prisoners who escaped from that jail*
The jail has an iron cage inside of
the building, and the prisoners were
in this cage. By some means they
manged to get two bolts oat of the
iron frame some time ago—before
the last term of the superior court
there, but they kept it a secret, wait
ing for an opportunity to make good
their eaoape. About three weeks ago
Mr. Uanderaon f the sheriff of Piok-
ens county, had occasion to visit El*
lijay, and when tha prisoners found,
be uus gone and had left a aubati
lute on duty, they determined to
make their eaoape that night, whioh
they done after working til night
till nearly day. There was a crazy
man on the ontside of the cage who
helped them to bend the two bars
back and extrioate tbemselvea from
the iron cage, and then come the
work of going through the wall and
they set to work in dead earnest to
cut a hole through it. They bad
loosened several large rocks but
found that day would catch them
before their escape could be made
through the wall, and the last effort
was to tsks a large rock aud burst
the locks on the doors, which they
did. The locks were broken from
the inside of the jail. As the priso
ners went down the jail steps one of
them called to the jailer "that the
mob hod them," and in the excite
ment the jailer believed it. This is
about the truth of matters as they
were. m mi
Hauling it Away.

Many of our readers have seen the
statements in the papers of the wag-,
on loads ol corn and meat being haul
ed from the towns and cities to the
country. This is the old story. We
don’t mean it is not true, but, it
shows that our people have relied
upon getting enough coru and meat
in some other way than by producing
them on their own farms. .Be it so,
if they have a plenty of money to pay
for them, and are in the sunshine of
fortune. Ws hope they are so hapi-
ly situated, but, if they are, they are
the men who should aid others by u
better policy. We don’t mean they
should directly divide their money
with them, but they should see that
all this money, pnul lor corn and
meat, Bhould be kept for circulation
at home. In that way they would
help neighbors who are not us fonu
nate as themselves. If they are buy
ing this corn and meat on credit,
they are better uble to judge than we
•re, of the future prospect. They
may easily p»y, but we thiuk the
better policy would be to ruise all
lbs Resided corn and meat at home.

send for some ice, (tool off, and resume.
I do not fully accept the position
taken by the Advance on our question
for debate. W h i lo it is a safe and -cor
rect principle to make the farm self sus
taining in the iuaiu. to say to our farm
ers that their failure to do so is the cause
of their embarrassing condition, falls far
short, according.to my views of tbe.prjp-
ciple cause. It is to tba interest of (ha
farmer to plant .whatever crop# tlralgiyas
him the greatest remunerative results,
even if it is cotton. The reason of our
failure, is because the value of our
(Suctions are not sufficient to pter tl»
pease of producing thsm ntidet o«i>
ent system; It ia hot beesuae we f plint
too much cotton sad not enough corn, ns
the latter is less remunerative. It is not
because wt buy fertilizers, but because
we promise to pay from 200 to 800 per
cent more than tlieii casli value. It is
not because wo buy corn, but because we
promise te pay 100 per cent, more than
it could hnye been purchased for with the
cash when cotton was sold. It is not
because we arc extravagant, for we wear
cheaper clothing, educate our children
less and enjoy less luxuries aud comforts
oflifc than any other class, but Jrecsuse
we have been paying such an enorinous
per cent, on what we buy. Iu a word,
wo have promised to pay more than the
value of our farm productions. It would
not be expected for a man to succeed ili
manufacturing, mercantile or other liuii
ness, if lie was paying only the legal rate
of interest upou the capital with which
be operates his business.' Yet our farmers
are trying to pay from SO to 100 per cent,
ou what they buy, aud this is one of the
main causes of their failure.
.Nor do 1 see in the example cited by
the AuvAaca of the “Model Farmer,”
Mr. Reams, any practical method by
which wo oan extricate ourselves. The
secret of Mr. Reams' success was paying
cash for what lie bought. Our Cherokee
farmers are poor, and in debt, as Air;
