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 found t a horse tied cany him to the for his son. There that-Urs escape had .ds were day in close iih friends. But no one 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, has been heard from him, al though o reward of $150 is offerred for his apprehensjon, and bills are scattered over the country giving his description. lutydar is ox- two weeks Itlpa and UmaaU wrota i that Bill Hodgson dellVei flremen!s reunion. __ _ _ to I 17th.

H 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.

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. There are now eight convicts in this camp—seven blacks and one white, the latter Seago. When Seago was first sent to the chain-gang he tried to play off sick, 'claiming that he had neuralgia. k ButTuck cured him in an instant by preparing a series of mus tard plasters and bringing out his qui nine bottlR Before the; plasters were applied Seago announced his recovery and did good service in the field. With the exception' of two youths, who are “trusties,” the convicts are to "substantiate "our'a^ertlou. kept in chains, and on Sunday are 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 THE ABOLITION OF FENCES. |aoBYlnclnn Atgamwti 1 Rucker, "of 8ol ' Cole. Crayton and i Carolina. 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 that the Almighty created for the “hewers of wood and drawers of wa ter” for the Caucassian "The mission of the Banner-Watchman ■Tstolabor for the restoration of pqjlti- " power in the ninth district to <the whites.

We must sup- I port no man, be his professions what 1 they may, who has not the patriotic j manhood to come boldly forward and work for the best interests of his oon-]l stitueney and the glory of his coun ter, regardless of future consequences to his aspirations. The organized de mocracy has no desire to oppress the negro, and will protect them in every privilege guaranteed by the constitu tions of the United States anfi of Georgia; but they do claim the right to rule this country that was wrested from the savages by their forefathers aud handed down as an inheritance to them and their posterity.

This Is the political stand taken by the editor of the Banner- Watchman from the first hour' he wielded a pen, and for which he has been denounced and abused for long years as an incendiary and a stirrer-up of strife between the races. If we can but swsceed in opening up the eyes of ouir people toi their true political con dition, we will bear the yoke of in sults. There is not a true-born white man in Georgia but at heart knows the truth of our stand, and if he Is uot an incipient office-seeker or has no axe to sharpen on a government grind stone, will so declare himself. i Rheumatism, disordered blood, gener al debility, and many chronic diseases pronounced incurable, are often cured by; I Brown’s Iron Bitters. pike’s Tooubachk Drops euro in one minute. \ \ Notwithstanding the short notice I and busy season; the opera house was I well attended yesterday, at noon tto I hear two of South Carolina's most I gifted and honored sons on the advan- | tagea of the stock law.- yf e Were glad I to see among the audience a number I of leading farmers from not only this, 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 I between ’Grec'nvUle anrf A'nfletsoff, 1 who decided to.test the matter : )|>y I keeping Reboonto of “tlia> batten die [ bought froin citizens In each county 1 . . bought in a single day 85 pop'jbds Ifoom Anderson, and but'oni? pouud 1 from Greenville county. He referred 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. 1 who had to keep up 30 miles of fences, I the hedgerdws of which Would make I a row of corn, 80'miles long—enough [to supply Sis-form ; The ‘ land-Ams PROPRIETARY XIEDICINES. lyxsasaapta- v.-; y.-.: PLAIN TRUTHS The Uood U the foundation of life, it circulate* through every put of the body, and unfa* it is pure and rich, good health is impotable.
