Clarkesville vs. Toccoa.
From the Camion Free Press.
A lively fight is now on in Hab¬
ersham county for the removal of
the county site from Clarkesville to
Toccoa.
An election will he held in the
county on that question August 19,
and Toccoa is expecting to secure
the county site.
The city of Toccoa has offered
very substantial inducements for its
removal. Habersham is now in the
act of taxing the county for the pur-
pose of building a new court house,
having already secured plans for
the same.
Toccoa comes forward backed by
a good and substantial bond 0 obli-
gating itself to furnish lot and build
a new court house and jail accord¬
ing to the plans adopted by the
county commissioners free of any
tax or cost to the county of Haber¬
sham whatever.
it is estimated that this will save
the ^ county $34,000. This . speaks .
well for the progressive enterprise
of this town and probably will be
the means of securing- the countv
site. To make Toccoa the county
site would make Habersham countv
much nearer to her sister and adjoin-
ing countv of Franklin, whereas as
it is the two counties are compara-
tively unknown to each other,owing
to the inaccessibleness of Clarkes-
ville, the countv site from this sec-
tion.

COURT HOUSE NEWS
Edited By Court House Club
Editorial Committee.
The Southern Publishing Co. is
not responsible for matter appear¬
ing in these columns, hut names, if
any are desired, may be had from
the Toccoa Court House Club, un¬
der whose direction this department
is run.
The court house news department
has been turned over to a committee
of gentlemen appointed by the Toc¬
coa Court House Club, who will
from week to week give all the
news worth telling about the fight
for removal. They are men who
are able to back up all they say.
A Statement.
The paragraph in The Record
two weeks back, referring to “the
county map published in the At¬
lanta Journal by Clarkesville, the
registration list and George’s office
being a great place,” was accepted
by George Erwin as applying to
him—insinuating that he was at
least under suspicion of “monkey¬
ing” with a registration list. The
paragraph was written really more
in a spirit of poking fun at George
than for any other purpose. How¬
ever, it was based on a statement
of T. W. Scott that the list of vot¬
ers registered in Toccoa district and
turned over to him by the tax col¬
lector, did not contain as many
names as the original list or regis¬
tration book did. The secretary of
the Toccoa Court House Club wrote
the lax collector for a copy of all
the names on the book from this
district. The collector, or some
one purporting to be the collector,
answered that it would cost us 2c.
per name to get the copy, and if
desired at that figure the list would
be sent with hill attached C. O. D.,
or some way that brings the money
quick and easy. Of course the offer
was not entertained, but R. A.
Ramsay and J. L. Martin were sent
for the names.
When they found the collector
he had received no letter, nor had
written none offering the names at
2c. each. He could not account for
the list being short. When asked
if it had been out of his possession
before turning over to the hoard of
registrars, he said that it was left
in George Erwin’s office one night.
George, however, says that McMil-
lion never left the list in his office.
This being true, he can feel at ease
as to any blame being attached to
him on account of the missing names
And while we are confident that
George attaches more significance
to the paragraph than many other
people, we have no desire to do him
an injustice ; therefore, the insinu¬
ation that the list had stopped over
night in “George's office” is with¬
drawn. and the tax collector is re¬
quested to state his reasons for say¬
ing he left it there.

Answers.
The Clarkesville Advertiser pub-
lishes the following reasons why
the court house should not be re-
moved to Toccoa :
Because Toccoa is in the lower
corner of the county, and thus in¬
accessible to a large portion of the
The above is not true; Toccoa is
as near the centre of the county as
is Clarkesville. Toccoa to Tugalo
river is 7 miles, Franklin county 6
miles; Clarkesville to White coun¬
ty 6 miles, ’ and to Banks S miles,

‘ here only 9 )Ur0ri in Currahee dts-
tnct? Why are there only 9 in
Broad River district? There are
over 150 voters in these two dis-
tricts. The answer is plain. Your
jury revisers accommodated some of
your ringsters and your ringster put
in the names of his friends, and no
one else. This is a scheme to get
a little money for jury service.
Because Toccoa is further away
from a large majority of the militia
districts of the county.
Impossible to be further away
than is Clarkesville, for the reason
that Clarkesville is on the west side
of the county.
Because the expenses of a major¬
ity of jurors and other parties would
be increased in attending court.
The expenses at Toccoa could not
possibly he more than at Clarkes¬
ville, where they size you up and
take all you have for a night’s lodg-
ng.
Because court expenses would be
increased by the increased distance
bailiffs would have to ride to sum¬
mon witnesses, jurors and parties ’
compelling the court to either sit
longer to give time for such service,
or increase the number of bailiffs—
either way increasing costs.
All of the above is a lie.
If, as you say, Toccoa furnishes
aM the cases in court and the busi¬
ness for the lawyers, you fellows
ought to want to get near where
the devilment is going on—you
might be able to get something tor
nothing.
If Toccoa furnishes all the busi¬
ness and pays for it we do not see
how it could hurt the county, as all
the bailiffs and witnesses would
come from Toccoa district. All
these parties being right here, there
would be no reason for a long ses¬
sion of court.

To the Voters of Habersham Co. :
1 understand that a report is be¬
ing circulated byprominent Clarkes¬
ville citizens, among whom are sev¬
eral lawyers, who certainly ought
to know better, that Toccoa cannot
and will not issue legal bonds for
building a court house and jail at
Toccoa. Now, to show my confi¬
dence in the integrity, ability and
sincerity of the citizens of Toccoa,
I make the following proposition to
any citizen of Habersham county,
to-wit:
I will put up $i,ooo to $ioo that
if the county site is moved to Toc¬
coa, Toccoa will build, absolutely
free of any expense to citizens of
the count)’, outside the corporate
limits of said city, a court house
and jail, in accordance with plans
and specifications accepted by the
county commissioners.
John McJunkin, M. D.
Toccoa, Ga., July 24.
We rise to respectfully request
the Advertiser to publish the pro¬
ceedings of the caucus held in Jack
Bowden’s office, at the time Will
Furr was placed in the race for
commissioner, for the sole purpose
and with the understanding that he
was to build a new court house if
elected. Of course the Advertiser
can reserve the right to publish
them when its columns are not
overrun with complimentary notices
from Clarkesville politicians, tell¬
ing about each others’ honesty,
“doan-cher-know.” By the way,
isn't it remarkable how quiet this
has been kept? Think of it, when
Clarkesville is celebrating her cen¬
tennial year, her politicians have to
resort to the newspaper to get the
news outside of her city limits
that they are honest? Surely, sure¬
ly, the ladies have not known about
all this honesty. If they have, the
accusation that they can't keep a
secret is a stigma on the name of
woman.
By some strange and unaccount¬
able oversight of the typo, the devil
or whoever handlcs such things as
Hi S*> Hopper Webb’s article for
,he Advertiser, the promised rea-
soning was left out of the thing, and

To the Taxpayers of Habersham
County.
If Toccoa intends to build you
a court bouse free, why did Mr.
John Marfin, of that place, suggest
that a tax for the court house be
levied before the election ? Because
Toccoa knows they are not going
to, or intend to build it; and that
after the tax is levied, it can’t be
used.for any other purpose but to
build a court house. Mr. Ramsey
says they can do a great deal with
money in gaining votes for Toccoa.
Do you propose to sell your vote to
Toccoa? They can ride around
the county in their fine buggies and
think they can buy yonr God-given
right of a free ballot. Do you in¬
tend to let them do so? The intel-
ligent voters of Habersham county
say no. We are not slaves to be
bought and sold at Toccoa’s bid¬
ding.
The rich man will pay most of
the court house tax if built at Clar¬
kesville, hut the small farmer and
laborer pay most of the tax if it is
built at Toccoa. How is this?
Because if built at Toccoa it will
cost the large property holder no
more to attend court than the poor
laborer who works for 50c per day.
Don’t you see that the poor man
pays more taxes by losing his time
and having to go so far to court
than the rich man who can go much
easier and has the means to go with ?
If some big man wants to get off
of the jury he can do so, and you
know this to be the truth. This is
a fight of the people against Toccoa
and her money. What does a few
dollars amount to when you think
of the great inconvenience of going
to Toccoa over one of the roughest
roads in Habersham county? You
are not a pauper to be willing to sell
your birthright for saving a few
cents in taxes. Now suppose the
bond is good, did you ev6r hear or
know of a bond being collected
without a great deal of litigation?
There is over 100 names on the so-
called bond, and you see w f hat an
end of litigation this so-called bond
would cost the tax-payers of Haber¬
sham county, when the county
would have big lawyer’s fees to
pay for years to come, and then
have to build the court house in the
end.
If Toccoa has the money to build
the court house, why don’t they put
it in the county treasurer’s hands?
Because they think they can fool
you and have the court house moved,
and after it is too late to help your¬
selves, make us build it.
All of the above is a lie of the
whole cloth.
The above was gotten out by the
Clarkesville Court House Ring in
a circular distributed above the
mountains, but they were ashamed
to put their name to it. No won¬
der, who ever saw such a lot of lies?
Any honest man can see the
lies sticking out in every word
ibove printed. Let this crowd of
Ringsters build a court house at
their own expense if they want one
at Clarkesville. Make them do as
much as Toccoa offers.
Toccoa Court House Club.
“Tom Tit,” or some other little
thing signing himself “T. T.” in
the Clarkesville Advertiser charges
as a reason the court house should
not be moved to Toccoa that “it is
said they (the people of Toccoa)
lynched some negroes for a murder
committed at Toccoa. Theabove ar¬
gument is on a par with all so far ad¬
vanced by the tooters of Clarkesville
against the removal of the court
house from that place, and is proba¬
bly as good as the contemptible lit¬
tle calibre of 22 is capable of pro¬
ducing. But we would like to
have him state just who it was that
said Toccoa people did the lynch¬
ing. Does not the little thing know
(or is he too mean to teil the truth ?)
that the people of Toccoa, without
- jail to them
the negroes from a lynching here?
And does not the miserable little
stink-bag know that after the ne-
groes were delivered tojihe Clarkes¬
ville officers and placed in the pro-
tectingcages of the Groves jail (that
didn't cost the county any thing
according to “T. T.”) they were
taken out and lynched ’ust outside
the corporate limits of that town,
while the Clarkesville people, if
not tying the rope, assisted by qui¬
etly looking on, hiding away in
their homes through fear or posi¬
tively refusing to lift a protecting
arm in defense of the negroes?
\Ye repeat, does he know these
things? If not, the editor of the
Advertiser should have told him
and have refused to publish his ly¬
ing effusion, for he (the editor)
THE BEST COBBS
certainly knew them, And it is
well known by a number of the
citizens of Clarkesville that Toccoa
people did not do the lynching, but
Clarkesville, with ample notice and
in the face of a telegram from the
Governor of Georgia calling upon
them to protect the negroes at all
hazards, permitted it to take place
right under her own vine and fig
tree, and that, too, without so much
as breaking a door or lock of the
Groves) jail by a mob.
Calloway Edwards, the attorney
for Architect Bryan, sent* to com¬
missioner Cooper Wednesday for a
statement as to how he came to
sign his name to the contract for a
new court house at Clarkesville.
Mr. Cooper swore in a deposition
sent Mr, Edwards that Mr. Bryan
and Ordinary Hill told him that
commissioner Furr said that he
(Furr) would sign the contract
when Daniel and Cooper had signed
it, When Ordinary Hill and Ar=-
chitect Bryan brought the plan and
contract to Cooper’s house Daniel’s
name was on the contract, and
Cooper also signed it, thinking Mr.
Furr would. Now it seems Furr
and the clique at the court house
saw that the people of Habersham
county were going to vote for Toc¬
coa, en masse, if such a big debt
was put on them and he did not
sign the contract, but preferred to
put the county into a lawsuit. The
county is now sued for $880 and
damages—how much damages we
have not found out. Who did
this? Mr. Furr and Mr. Daniel are
to blame for this lawsuit. They
have no right to make the people
of the county pay for their negli¬
gence or carelessness. No ten year
old boy in Habersham county would
have done as Messrs. Furr and
Daniel have done in this matter.
Certainly they ought to have set¬
tled with Bryan in some way. Now
that they have got the people of
Habersham in a lawsuit, the peo¬
ple ot Habersham ought to make
Furr and Daniel pay for it. This
Clarkesville ring is good at making
the tax payers pay for the ringsters’
fun. The jail and several bonds
and bondsmen are yet remembered
by the tax payers.
The political tricksters of Clarkes¬
ville are busily engaged each day
around their offices, telling the peo¬
ple of the county all manner of lies
about the people of Toccoa; that L
they will not do what they say ;
will deceive the voters to get the
court house and then make the coun¬
ty pay for it. Even the great ordi¬
nary of this county reads them Toc¬
coa’s bond, and then tells them that
Toccoa does not say when she will
build the court house should the
people vote for it to go there. This
is deceit of a low type, for the pur¬
pose of gaining votes for Clarkes¬
ville. Why does the ordinary read
the bond instead of the application
for an election to vote on removal
if he does not wish to carry votes
by misrepresentation ? However,
this is the stock in trade of the
Clarkesville politician, but when
their methods are brought into ques¬
tion, they rant and blow about
whipping somebody. In the mean¬
time, some one of them writes for
their paper telling about their hon¬
esty, their ancestry, etc., etc.
The political tricksters of Clar¬
kesville, by way of trying to preju¬
dice people against Toccoa, tell
them that we (Toccoa) prosecute
seven cases out of nine before the
courts in this county, which they
say entails great expense to the
county. But they fail to tell the
people that they (the tricksters) are
the recipients of all this expense.
It all goes into their coffers, and
we have yet to hear of a refus¬
al on their part to take all they can
get. The J. P.’s and bailiffs in oth¬
er districts of the county often fail
to get a cent of their costs for ar¬
rests and commitments, but the
Ringsters say nothing about this.

so that the printer will have time to turn
out a good job. Another good point to bear
in mind is that your printing should he

The Clarkesville Advertiser says
that it is a lie that there are only 18
names in the jury box from Curra-
hee and Broad River districts.
We gave the number of names in
said districts on authority of Knox
Acre, a man who usually does not
go off half cocked. We think he
is able to defend his position against
these ringsters who set up the howl
that this is not true. Col. Jones
had to move a case recently from
one of these districts because there
were no jurymen to try the case.
As for impugning the motive ol
jury revisers, as that little Clarkes¬
ville titwillow and Jim Crow sheet
tries to make it appear The Rec¬
ord has done, that insinuation is a
lie, conclusively a lie, nothing
more or less. If the revisers are
guilty of letting these court house
ringsters interfere with their work
and doctoring the list, then they
are to blame. We do not believe
they did, and so stated in the arti¬
cle. It is only the hit dog that
yelps, and we have heard of none
of the revisers yelping yet—it is the
ringsters that have set up the howl.
The Clarkesville ringsters forgot
to tell you that the 70 cents they
propose to levy on you for their new
court house was not all they were
to levy. They did not ted you there
was a lawsuit for $880 for plans of
a new court house and damages also
asked by Architect Bryan ; they did
not tell you that the treasurer, the
receiver, the collector, the county
commissioners were all to be paid.
They only say 70 cents on the hun¬
dred will bring .$14,000. That’s so
—when they get it. They know,
and so does every fair-minded man
in Habersham county know, that it
will cost from one-third more to
double their calculations. The State
and county tax this year cannot and
will not be less than $1.08, and then
add your court house tax, if built at
Clarkesville, to it—$1.00 at least,
and will probably go to $2.00—and
you will see that if a court house is
built at Clarkesville your taxes can¬
not be less than $2.08 on the hun¬
dred, and it may reach $2.50 to
$3.50. The commissioners cannot
assess you part this year and part
next; the tax must be assessed at
once. It must be paid at one time.
The Advertiser says of the 102
jurymen summoned for next Court,
82 are closer to Clarkesville than
Toccoa. The Advertiser forgot to
say that Clarkesville people, or their
friends who think Clarkesville is
the centre of the world, put those
names in the jury box. For in¬
stance, Broad River and Currahee
districts have only 18 jurymen—9
in each district—and still they poll
over 150 votes. Another thing to
remember, nowhere else in the
county is there a rotten court house
ring or clique but at Clarkesville.
We give these figures as they ap¬
pear in the Advertise!, not that
they are true, for we feel sure there
are more than 20 nearer Toccoa than
82 Clarkesville, and if it be true that
are the nearer jury revisors Clarkesville, then we
say or the jury box
has been tampered with.
The Record says that the jury
commissioners have perjured th_ em-
selves, or J. A. Erwin, clerk of the
Superior Court or A. M. Gribble,
Sheriff, has tampered with the jury
box. Sheriff Gribble carries the
key to the box, do vou believe he
wouffi do such a thing? Clarkes¬

The above is a lie in toto; The
Record made no such statement.
Toccoa district has more than
700 names registered who will vote
for removal of county site to Toc¬
coa • Judge Sutton, in a letter to

6x9 people in the county who are

Th« Granary Weevil.
Question.—H ow do weevils get intt
corn * and how does the “bisulphide oi
carbon, ’ which you recommend. de-
stroy th-m?
Answer.—T he common granary wee*
v ^* so destructive to corn and otbei
grains in warm latitudes, is a winglesi
insect, which may be found iu oui
fields, woods or barns. They can onlj
survive the cold winters of more north*
ern latitudes in the shelter afforded bj
barns and other buildings, and in 6ucl
sections are consequently few in nnm*
*>er an( ^ do but little damage. Ia thil
state, and especially iu the southern
portion, they easily survive the mild
winters, and sometimes do great injury
to the corn crop even before it is housed,
though the chief damage is done aftei
the crop is gathered. They work in the
following manner: The female weevL
bores a very small hole into the grain
of corn and deposits therein one or two,
and sometimes three eggs. These eggi
soon hatch into little larvae, that eai
out the soft heart of the grain, and in 1
few weeks develop into full grown
beetles, which then cut their way oui
of the kernel in which they have been
confined. The females among then,
quickly commence their egg laying is
the uninjured kernels, and thns genera¬
tion after generation is produced in oni
season. The grown weevils feed indis¬
criminately on the hard as well as tin
soft parts of the grain. When very nu¬
merous, the corn is rendered unfit foi
food for either man or beast To de¬
stroy this pest is not impossible, thougt
many farmers take that view. As sooi
as your corn is housed, place on top ol
the pile, in shallow vessels, such as soul
plates, or small tin pans, bisulphide ol
carbon, at the rate of to 2 pounds t<
every 100 bushels of corn. This quicklj
vaporizes, and the vapor being heaviei
than the air, descends and penetrate,
into every portion of the pile of corn,
killing all insects with which it cornel
in contact, as veil as rats and mice.
Such of the weevils as escape the first
application, by reason of being buriec
in the interior of the grains of corn, can
be killed by a second application, fol¬
lowing in four weeks after the first
The closer the crib the more effectual!?
will the work be done. Always remem¬
ber that the bisulphide of carbon is »
deadly poison and very inflammable,
and no fire, not even a lighted pipe 01
cigar should be taken near it Thii
danger end 3 wnen all odor of the vapoi
has passed away, say in two or thret
days at utmost. The use of this remedj
does not injure the grain, either foi
food or seed purposes, if used as recoin-
mended; if used in larger quantities tb«
grain is liable to injury as seed. 1
would be pleased if some of our South
Georgia farmers would give this remedy
fair trial and report the results to this
department.—State Agricultural De
