Gentlemen of the grand jury, ihe

look to you for protectin'
In an Athens ] aper of yesterday
evening Solicitor-General Russell pub
lishes a card explaining, or rather de
fending, his attempt t* get a bill passed
by the present session of the Legislature
to hold our tax payers responsible for
his insolvent costs. Tfe take pleasure
in reproducing all parts of this card
where it bears upon the subject under
discussion, and think that we can con
clusively prove to every intelligent and
thinking man that our Solicitor has con
structed his defense upon sand, that
will go down before a tidal wave of
sound reason and documentary evi
dence.
In his prologue Mr. Russell says:
‘The bill aske that the Solicitor-General
of the Western circuit—myself and suc
cessors—be paid tbe sum of Are hun
dred dollars per annum, if -his insol
vent lists for auy year amount to that
much. No larger turn than five hun
dred dollars was ever aslce l or thought
of, and the amount masieft blank in the
bill, as some had suggested four hun
dred instead.”
We do not know what the bill intro
duced by'Mr. Tuck, under the fire of
The Banner calls for, as he declined to
forward us a copy for publication before
it was presented to the Legislature for
passage. Mr. Tuck in his card<says the
amount is left blank, which leaves an
unknown and unnamed sum for the
tax payers to he responsible for.
But w* beg to respectfully differ
with Mr. Russell when he says that “no
larger sum than than $500 was ever
asked for or thought of,” They say that
figures don’t lie, and neither do plain
propositions set down in black and
white, and officially signed and publish
ed.
Now ft r our proof that whatever
Messrs. Tusk and Russell may have
“intended,” had tlis bill these gentle
men first proposed passed, the tax-payers
of Clarke dainty would hare been made
responsible for every dollar of insolvent
costs the. Solicitor-General miyht have ac
cumulated.
Here is the published notice announc
ing the introduction of the bill.
Read it carefully:
“Notice is hereby given that applica
tion will be made to the Gene.al Asaern-
sembly at its present session for the
passage of a bill to be entitled:
“An act to amend” an act to provide
campensatiou for the Solicitor General
of the Western circuit, for services m
criminal cases in the county of Clarke
approved August 3*1,1884, so as to strike
out the following words in section 1 of
said act to wit: “Provided that the So
licitor-General shall bo entitled to
orders on the county treasury to tlie
amount of two hundred dollars **p ; h
year, if his approved insolvent lists
shall amount to so much, but in no
event shuli the orders exceed said sum
in any one year: This Aug. 2d.
Now let us see what tbe original act
is, am! what changes this “Amend an
act/buMr. liusael! proposed and ad v*r-
t aad to have passed, will have thereon.
Here is tbe law as it now stands:
See. 1. That from and after the pas
sage of this act, tlie insolvent costs of
the Solicitor-General of the Western
circuit accruing in ciiminal cares in
'.kftcoiiiityufuitrkeshall.be paid our
of (he county treasury of said county,
upon orders drawn therein at each term
of the Superior Court of said county,
ii inr-, bv tbe Ji:d_e presiding in said court.
" V "Provided. That the Solicitor-Genera
which, by reason of the City Court, he
receives no compensation whatever.
The laws of the State fix his fees, aud
say be shall receive them.”
This is also the case in Oconee and
Walton, that have county courts. Will
Mr. Russell please explain why it is
he has singled out the people of Clarke
county to submit to this burthen and
made no demand on the others? Our
tax-payers do not appreciate such par
tiality.
Mr. Russell asks:
“Is it right that the Solicitor-General
shea Id do this work for nothing, when
the law fixes his fees ? It is certainly
generally considered that the laborer is
worthy of hire.”
Did n*t Solicitor-General Russell
know exactly what his office paid when
he made such a desperate effort to get
it? If he was not content with the fees
attached thereto why did he not with
draw from the race and let some other
aspirant have it?
It is true that a laborer is worthy of
his hire; but when a laborer enters in
to a fair contract, and knows at the
time of accepting the same just what
he is to receive, he has no right to try
and force his employer.into increasing
his salary before he has hoed his tlrst
row.
Mr. Russell again says:
“By law’, the sheriff'of Clarke codnty
is paid five dollars per day for each day
while court is in s ssion; the Clerk of
the Superior Court, three dollars; the
Solicitor.General, nothing.”
We think the ganthiman is mistaken.
The State pays the Solicitor-General
$250 per annum for attendance on
courts, which is a much larger per
diem than the county officers receive.
We quote from Mr. Russell’s card :
“When convictions are bad on mis
demeanors in the City court, the Sheriff
and Clerk receive their part of the line,
the Solicitor-General again gets noth
ing on his insolvent list. Is be not
equally entitled to some remuneration
as well as these worthy officers?”
Does not this same rule apply also to
Oconee and Walton—both of which
counties are in your circuit—and did
you not know', Mr. Russell, when you
made the race for your present office
that such was the case?
But such is not the case. On all in
dictments sent down to the city court,
and convictions made and parties pay
out, the Solicitor-General receives live
dollars and a half.
Here is a very lame excuse from our
Solicitor-General:
“Several, if not all, the cities in tbe
State have a law’ similar to the one I
ask, and in others the Solicitor-General'
is ex-officio solicitor of the City court.
Fulton county pays two thousand dol
lars per annum to the solicitor of the
Atlanta circuit.”
We will advise Mr. Russell to study
the oid adage which says that “a come
dy of errors don’t make one rignt.”
We quote again;
“I do not ask that five hundred a
year b* paid me as a salary, but ouly
lhat if L do five hundred dollars worth
of work for Clarke county iu any one
year, or a thousand dollars worth, the
eounty shall pay me as much a* fire
hundred dollars on my insolvent ac
count, which must bo approved by the
Judge of the Superior court.”
Every line of business accumulates
more or less bad debts, and there is no
more justice in holding the tax payers
of Clarke county responsible for those
of the Solicitor-General than of any
interaction ir. Mr. Russell’s unbroken
run of good luck.
Here id another effort at defect:
“I submit to them that, if two hun
dred dollars in 1880 was considered fail,
right and legal by the Grand Jury, by
our then Representative, lion. Pope
Barrow, by the General Assembly, and
by the Gover or who approved it,
whether l h i amount now asked for is
disproportioned to the condition of af
fairs at the present time.”
Mr. Russell neglects to add that'the
$200 he speaks of was recommended by
a grand jury, and introduced by Hen.
Pope Barrow at the request of that rep
resentative body of men. But the case
is different with Mr. Russell’s bilh The
only grand jury that recommended it
was himself and Mr. Tuck, and if we
4J
mistake not neither of tlieir names are
in tjie graipl jury box. We think he
will heve a recommendation from our
next grand jury, liowerer, to the effect
that th*, payment of this^OO he discon
tinued, or until the other counties in
the circuit will contribute a similar
amount.
Here is Mr. Russell’s closing state
ment :
“The charge as I hear it reported,
that I have said that I should disregard
the wishes of the people in the matter,
is absolutely false. I have lived all my
life among tho people of Clarke eounty,
and 1 am willing that nay past record as
their vepresentativeshould be the crite
rion by which my regard for their wish
es should be judged.”
We haVe hoard no such r« port as this.
Mr. Russell, however, stated to the au
thor of this article, in tlie presence of
his law partner, Mr. Hughes, that he
had enough influence in the legislature
to get the bill through, as he couhl con
vince the members that his claims were
just. This seems to us a reliance more
upon the friendship and following that
lie has built upjwhile representing Clarke
county, than upon tlie wishes of tins
people for whom be expresses such a
high regard.
In conclusion we would ask Mr. Rus
sell one question: IIow much do you
expect to get out of Clarke county from
your office this year ? Won’t you secure
half of an $800 fine imposed at our las:
term of court when it is paid?

We believe that your honorable body

day of economy, retrenchment and re

ATHENS DLIND TIGERS.

We are glad to know that out expo
sure yesterday of the blind tiger evil in
Athens has received the unqualified wn-
dor>ement of an overwhelming majori
ty of the best men of Athens, among
the number, Col. S. C. Dobbs, Messrs
R. K. Reaves, A. II. Hodgson and other
s.r mg prohibitionists.
Gaps. D. O. Oliver says there is no
disguising the fact that the picture is
founded pn solid facts. This officer ha
dune everythin g mortal man could do
to stop the liquor trade in Athens, ar
to his efforts are due every case of this
kind reported to our superior court. It
is now the ease in Athens that nearly
every citizen has a bar-room almost at
liis door. The evil is a frightful a:,
a growing one.

Now let tbe intelligent reader erase
from the original bill the paragraph in
Ulus. and he will clearly discover that
it matters not what was Solicitor-Gen
eral Russell’s “intentions,” had that
bill become a law th* tax-payers of.
Clarke county would have been made re
sponsible for every dollar of the Solici
tor’s insolvent costs—and we feel no
hesitancy in affirming that Mr. Russell
and “his successors in oftb-e” would not
have hesitated to avail themselves of its
benefit.
But this is not all of it. Carefully
read and digest the second section of
the bill, ana you will see that the privi
leges accorded the Solicitor-General
are even greater anil more ruinous to
th* tax-payers than we had any concep
tion of. Strike out that proviso, as was
proposed to he don* by Mr. Russell in
his announcement of the introduction
of his hill, and the only safeguard for
t .* people is torn away, and they are
delivered over to the Uolicitor-General
bound hand aud foot.
To illustrate: Suppose thfrt after
the passage of this act Bill Bluster is
fined $1,000—half of which goes to the
Solicitor. Tjiat -officer can appropriate
this entire sum to his old insolvent
costs—that had been bought for a nomi
nal sum from his’predeeessor—and then
hold tlie county responsible for his entire
insolvent costs made at that terra of court
Cannot you now se* the far-reaching
and dangerous effects of this bill if it
bad passed as first prepared.
We quote again from Solicitor-Gen
eral Russell’s card :

Interview With an Augusta Buyer.
We clip the following article from
the Augusta Chronicle, that will show
our Alliancemen the light that is being
waged against them by an English cot
ton buyer in that city. The Alliance
should know this, that they may take
the necessary steps to protect ihem-
si:lv*?s in th?ir war on tho Jute trust.
It was reported in Augusta yesterday
by a gentleman from Waynesboro that
a Burke county alliance contemplated
sending a delegation to Augusta to vis
it the factors and compress and find out
if is true that cotton is being re-covered
here with jute. A Chroniele reporter in
vestigated the subject yesterday. He
found the factors of Augusta, while re
cognizing the want of strength in the
cotton covering, still loyal to the fanner
in their fight against jute, and the man
ufacturers still ready to pay ten cents a
hundred more for cotton covered in cot
ton bagging than in jute. This h
more than is being done at any other
place in the country in support of
of the farmers, and, saves them fif ty m r
the seventy-five cents they are losing on
every bale of cotton covered with cot
ton bagging.
When asked if they were rc-covering
n jute any cotton covered bales receiv
ed by them, the factors laughed at the
idea. They receive their cotton for sale,
and sell it as they receive it, it making
no difference to Them whatev-r, in a
business point of view, how it is cover
ed. After they sell it. they of course no
longer control it, or keep a record of
it.
At the compress the reporter pursued
his inquires about jute. Messrs. Foster
& Doughty said; “This cotton is not
ours. It is sent to us to compress just a*
com is sent to mill to be ground. The
miller will bag the farmer’s meal in
whatever he directs hint to, and we car
ry out the instuctions of cotton ship
pers in reference to bagging cotton. If
cotton is shipped through Augusta,
with directions that it is coinpressing,
it is compressed and sent on just as
it comes to us, whether Iu cotton or
jute.
“If, on the other hand, the exporter
directs that cotton covered bales be ae-
covered in jute when compressed we
obey instructions an.l do as we are paid
to do. It is the shipper’s cotton and we
carry out his instructions.”
A prominent English cotton buyer
as next seen. “We make no secret,”
said he, “about covering the cotton
bagging with jute. We know best how
to conduct our own business, and have
a right to wrap our coiton in silk or
cast iron; as we see fit, if we pay for it.
There are two controlling reasons,how
ever, why we re-cover it in jute. First,
It is absolutely necessary for the protec
tion of the cotton, the cotton bagging
being entirely unable to stand the re
peated handling.Secondly of its costing
us any tiling we make thirty-five cents
on every bale.Thirty pounds tare comes
off' in Liverpool, even if the cotton bag
ging weighs only sixteen pounds. This
enables us to put ten pounds more on
cotton covered bales, and still be within
tare. It costs us just sixty-five cents to
put on live yards of two pound jute bag
ging. This additional ten pounds we add
as cotton to our way bill. As ten cents j
a pound this gives $1, and nets ns thirty j
five cents per bale, }
