Joe Thurmond Vcoman tic and daring
dash loi libertyjft yet the sensation in
Athens, and white Vorpeople are law-
abiding, they can but feel a sympathy
for the man who looked death so un
flinchingly in the face and made a suc
cessful escape aini-l the music of whist
ling halls. Joe Thurmond is a sport. He
comes from a horse-racing family, and
his father, old Squire Jim, is the best
band to train quarter-stock and manipu
late a rare in the state. His boys took
to the tur* as natural as does a duck to
water, and they were always to be seen
at fairs and other places where there was
a chance for a heat. They are a family
well to do, and those who have visited
their home my there is not a more gen
erous or hospitable people on earth.
Besides horse-racing Joe developed in
to a gambler, and the art of manipu
lating cards he made s success. But to
show the in ate love of the old man lor
the turf, and his cool and calculating
head, the boys tell the following story on
him. They^fay when Joe and his broth
er were retreating beneath a shower of
bullets the old Squire walked out of the
court house as unoonoerned as possible,
and after seeing his boys turn a corner,
remarked t* a bystander, “Why, I never
was so surprised in my life! 1 wonder
which nag willbeat tothe top of the hill?
I’ll bet $5on Stamper.” Squire Jim al
so complained thattheboya bad done him
a mean trick;thatthey bad taken both
horses and be would have to walk home.
Afterwards be passed np the road in a
" to his use

cany him to the
for his son. There

heart; for who wonld
to save a son and broth-
ufamous punishment? Their
already told them that there
'iqsaibl^ 'chance to get a new
trial, and their only hope would be to
jump the bond. This they did not feel
inclined to do, so Joe preferred to risk
life than sink his friends fora thous-
I dollars.
Parties who witnessed the escape says
was an exiting scene. There were
the officers firing at the man as he ran,
with the tussle over the hone, and final-
Browqipg .placing his pistol tothe
soniaris breast and declaring that he
would fire. f “Shoot and be d—d; for I
am going P’ was the defiant reply, aud
lie made a vault to reach the saddle as
Mr. Browning fired, but missed his
qilant deputy sheriff would
less winged his bird, at this
time, had not Jim Thurmond, jr., jerked
him aside.’ At the next vault Joe sprang
squarely upon Stamps, aud yellfiig to his
his brother to keepBrowning off a second
I Way. But to show ills collected
minilsand-experienced horsemanship lie
held up while under range of the
tire to straighten his stirrup-leath
ers. At this Instant Sheriff Weir
fired a volley at the escaping prisoner.
Mr. Browning does not think
that Thurmond is wounded, but doubt
less the horse was shot, although no
blood could be seen where the scuttle
took place. Browning could have killed
Thurmond several Times, but lie did not
think this necessary, and preferred
oundlng him in the legs.
We have no idea that Joq Thurmond
be caught. • He is as brave as
and will die before he will yield,

THE ATLANTA POST-APPEAL
Tins dirty negro sheet, the proprietor
of whjrfi gained fame and notoriety by
serving for years as butt of the Georgia
press, and pranced into notoriety by per
forming the highly intellectual aud gor-
mandizing feat of eating thirty quails
in unequal number of days, lias done the
Banner-Watchman the great favor of
dropping ns from its exchange list. This
mongrel organ of the nigger-radical
party in Georgia began a most abusive
tirade against tills paper, without any
cause whatever, but knowing the filthy
source from which it emanated, we for
sometime bore its insults without com
ment. At length we gave ihomton
two short paragraphs, exposing the facj
that be is on record in the public docu
ments a numb-skull. As to our intima
tion that he is an ass (a word the Post-
Appeal delights to roll under its tongue
as a sweet morsel) the readers of that
journal need no further authority on
this question than the dirty columns of
the sheet and the character always borne
by its editor and proprietor. We gladly
ept the gauntlet thrown down by this
;ro organ, and have instructed our
illnfi clerk to oat the name of the
st-Appeal from our books, and then
mgatb-flie apot-once disgraced by it
with a solution of carbolic acid. We
have no hope that the Post-Appeal will
ever fall into Ahvqontrol of a-gentleman,
for marctlUtf e. thorulon has dragged the
name of hievsli«*t.so deeply iuto the
quagmire of infamy that no gentleman
would ever feel like coupling bis name
with a paper that has been so utterly
disgraced.

THE COUNTY FARM.
VlMt to tal* OrMl PubUo Institution, sad Bow It
la Conducted.
We have long promised our esteetn-
ed friend, Dr. Henry Klnuebrew,.who
owns a delightful borne three miles
distant from the eity, a visit, and on
Saturday evening last pai l this pleas
ant debt. It Is needfessto speak of
our kind weloome and the generous
hospitality we met at the bands of the
Doctor and his agreeable family. Th«y
are friends of yore, and we felt in their
house as much at home as were we
under our own roof-tree.
Opposite tne residence of our host in
the county farm, and It certainly pre
sents a lovely picture. Under the
superb management of Mr. John R.
Tuck, this Institution has not only
proved the solution of a very knotty
enigma, but has developed Into a fine
paying piece of property. CUtokfi
county here owns 156 acM*^ whl sh,
with improvements, cost about $4,100,
not counting the ,labor of tbefhandi oft
the place. Of this land lOObcres ife
now cleared and in a splendid stab of
cultivation, while a greater part of lie
remainder is heavily timbered in
original forest. We never saw a pi
tier farm. Every foot of the fields tan
be seen from the road, so unbrol en
the ground. Through the courtesO of
Mr. Tuck we were shown over t^ie
place, first passing through the tasty
six room cottage lately built for the
superintendent, and that cost the
county not quite $800. It stands upan
a lovely knoll, and furnishes a superb
view for miles around. Everything
here is in the most perfect order. XV
joining is a splendid garden contain
ing one square acre, inside of the
byoad walks. And such a garden! A
finer one cannot be seen in the coun
ty. Every foot is filled with seasona
ble vegetables, that are. luxuriant:
These are giown for the convicts and
paupers. Besides this garden Mr.
Tuck has planted oue acre iu cabbages,
nearly as much in Irish potatoes, be
sides other crops that will save the
public tilt many a dollar in store ac
counts. Mr. Tuck has 85 acres planted
in cotton, from which he expects to
gather 40 or 50 bales, some fifteen in
corn, besides wheat, oats, sugar cane,
sweet potatoes, barley, and nearly
everything that can be grown in our
section. He has a large patch In pop
corn, sown broadcast in rows, for for
age, which Mr. T. says out yields any
thing he has ever tried.. He has to
rent land, as the county does not own
enough to keep his force at work. In
our stroll through the fields we did
not see a single gully. 3The inclines
are all ditched, while the tows are so
run as to save washes. A little branch
trickles through the uiiddie' of the
field, and down to the water’s edge is
planted rows of corn, every tpot of
ground being utilized. Our friend says
it is surprising the araountof corn lie
makes along the braneh banka, which
farmers generally allow to grow up in
weeds and bushes. The cotton is
backward, like all crops we saw, but
it is perfectly clean and seems thrifty.
Mr. Tuck hasjust finished replanting
a field where the stand la poor.

POLITICIANS AND THE NEGRO
There is no denying the fact that the
reeling between the two races in the
South embitters each year, and we
Tear the day is not far distant when it
will result in a serious conflict—and
every one knows how that contest for
supremacy must end. The white ineb
of the South, and particularly in those
sections cursed by so-called indepen
dent success, are even now chafing
under the indignity of negro political
supremacy, as manifested not only by
the insolent and domineering bear
ing of the blacks at the polls, but they
see their higher offices filled by mem
bers of this race, to the exclusion of
Ahite man. Take for instance the
Athens post-office, the Atlanta cus
tom bouse, and many mail agencies
on our railroads, now turned over to
the colored race. Is there any wis
dom or justice in such appointments?
Whatproportion of negroes, compared
to the whites, receive newspapers and
letters? What prorata of the . im
porters and merchants of Atlanta are
blacks? Probably one-flve-hundreths
part. And yet the very race that sup
ports these offices are forced by a bit
ter and partisan administration to
take back seats, and they must hum
bly bow at the shrine of Cuffy when
necessity compels them to transact
business through the government de
partments. This state of affairs is
abortionary and unnatural, and it will
eventually result in causing a rebel
lion of the intelligence and wealth of
this country against such mortifying
indignities.
But let us look into the cause of this
trouble. It can clearly be traced^
our greedy and unscrupulous
office-seekers; and we will not lay the
blame entirely, either, at the doorqf
Mr. Emory Speer. It is true th&
he first set the example of developing
this evil, but he has found many
willing followers—and some of them
are to day found sailing under organ
ized democratic colors. There is a;
growing feeling in the South to pan
der to negro patronage, that is the 1
most dangerous outgrowth of the re
sults of the war. These men are fast
rendering punishment for crime a
farse, and threatens to deliver the
Caucassian, helplessly bound, to the
rule of the African. It- is almost
needless to convict a negro felon, for
scarcely has he entered the first door
of the penitentiary than some office-
hungry philanthropist, with a full
pardon, turns him loose at the rear.
We to-day, in even the city of Athens,
see our elections made a medium of
gain, while ballots are openly bought
and sold. An office-holder is afraid
to say his. soul is his own, lest he
gives offence to the colored vo
ter. Our legislators are too cowardly
to vote for laws that they know and
feel to be absolutely necessary for the
weal of their section and constituency,
for the simple reason that such a vote
might array against them the colored
influence. Our office-holders seem to
forget that this ifl a while maa’s gov
ernment, and that this race has any
hand in shaping its franchise. The
Aft lean is the mail he strives to please,
aud to his whims, prejudices and
wishes he humbly bows. ,- v
The greatest iudignity and curse
ever inflicted on a country was when
thei conquering north broke the shack
les from our slaves and armed them
with the ballot, protected by the bay
onet. We believe iu giving the negro
every protection to life, liberty and
property; but we do not believe, and
never will bellevef that he is qualified
for a voter—and we appeal to the man
ner in which he has prostituted the

We had but to submit to this
outrage; but thanks to the patriotic
organization of the southern whites,
under the glorious name of democra
cy, we overcame this political reign of
barbarians, and turned our offices
over to free-born white men. But
with the death-knell in Georgia of the
republican party sprang into existence
organization that has proved it
self more treacherous and dangerous
than our old enemy. Disappointed
office-seekers, who failed to secure
promotion through the regular chan
nel, started a new crusade against de
mocracy under the name of “indepen
dents.” They gathered up the negro,
and by whispering sweet words of
promise in his ear, engaged him anew,
and through his vote, backed by
enough misguided democrats to turn
the scale, gained a foot-hold in Geor
gia. The result bus been most disas
trous. The evils of republicanism will
pale into insignificance when com
pared with the fruits of an indepen
dent victory. Any thinking man tian
see for himself the evils wrought by
this spl it in the whites that places the
balance of power in the hands of a race

I but adjacent counties, who had trav-
1®®* many miles to hear the remarks
Ion this revolutionizing system in
Isouthem agriculture. Both the speak-
lera hall from Anderson, the first
| county in Carolina to adopt $he stock
I law, and where it has had a practical
J test of years. Cols. Cray ton and Ruck
er are progressive gentlemen,and meu
of great discernment, and every won)
spoken by them oan be relied upon as
I CSehli' ! -in' „ , i .. !>i*ihI
■ Promptly at noon the orators -otitbt
| day were escorted to the rostrum,: aqn)
introduced by Mayor Rucker in u few
l timely ; words;' In which he spoke of
their kindness iu eoining-to our city,
to tell usof the practical Workings of
| the stock law. *
Col. Crayton arose, and after a few
I happy introductory words, proceeded
|to speak of the operation of the met
1 fence law ln bis state.
We have not space in this issueito
Igive his addree* in foil, as . we would
(like to do, so must content to give
[only a synopsis of his remarks as re-
[fera directly to the operation ofitha
J stock law, omitting his large store of
appropriate anecdotes that illustrated
re Well his subject. He said the
I colored 'people were laboring un
der a ' mistake when they think
I the stock-law will increase rants, for
such baa not been demonstrated, in
Carolina, which mow has a general
l law, with the exception of!one:.coun
ty,-Homy.' The speaker read. «n ex
tract from the census .of 1880; drawiug
a parallel between the counties of An
derson, < that had adopted the stock
law, and Barn well, whose.crops were
enclosed' and iitoekallowfefi 1 to rtmiat
large. It Is estimated that the costof
fences in Anderson is $10,620; wLilein
Barnwell they amounted to $55,870.50.
Barnwell produced more prain than
Anderson, and yet during tile yefc'r
from 6,285 cows she only made 38,195
^pounds of butter; while Anderson,
I from 5,374 oows; produced 204,125
'pounds of butter. Then take in con-
t sideratlen the increased value of tli^
stock when they are kept up and im
proved. Where the no-fence law lias
| been in successful operation long
I enough to give it a thorough test, you
see no scrub stock, weighted down
I with yokes or chained head and font,
I ekeing out a meagre subsistence from
I the withered herbage on the roadside,
I but in their place sleek and well-fed
I cattle, grazing in meadows where the
[grass flourishes at all seasons. Be-
[tween Anderson and Greeneviile, be-
| fore the latter county had adopted the
I stock law, there was a line fence; and
I a traveler felt that he had entered a
I different county as soon as lie crossed
r the boundary—although Greenville
I claimed to be the richer county of the
I two.' It has been said that the stock
I law would diminish the. supply of
I butter and mUk. To show-the folly of
I this Col. Crayton referred: to a. mer-
I chant Who ke^t a 'stori^'. ffir the line

Ito one county that was too poor to pay
I $1,500 for a necessary ferry; yet had
! $150,000 invested in fences. ' The cry
had been a scarcity of timber, but
since the adoption of the stock law
Anderson has more timber than she
knows what to do with. Besides, bynot
pasturing the fields, the lands are im
proved, and grow up more rapidly. He
cited the case of a fanner in Anderson.
