By order of the Court.
HENRY HENDRICK,
Judge 0. C. B. C.
Editor Blackburn, of the Madisoni
an, was in town last week.
A darkey, wanted in Henry county
for stealing corn, was arrested by our
marshal and confined in the jail.
Jl/iss Lula Sanders, Indian Springs
most, charming Belle, will visit J/iss
Katie Lyons of this place this week.
A Jackson gent says she feels near
er and dearer since he has been inoc
ulated. It’s better than “ love pow
ders.”
Notice lias been given by the ordina
ry, that he has been petitioned to call
an election in July, on the fence ques
tion, and if no counter petition is filed
he will order.-an election.
Mr. Jack Nolen and wife, of Mc-
Donough, are located at Jackson for
the present. Mr. Nolen has charge of
the telegraph olliee at this place.
Mack says he never felt so girlish in
his life as since lie has been vacillated
from the arm of a Jackson lie-lie. lie
now parts his hair in the middle.
Mr. Jud Alnnuid who was prostrated
■at the brick yard hist week, and for a
time unconeiotis of his condition, we
are pleased to state has recovered and
is again able for duty.
We learn H. P. Almand has a hun
dred thousand brick ready for the
torch. It is said he will build two store
nousc-* as soon as he burns the first
kill of brick.
ft] . Fred Hill and McMahon, in at
tempting to eject a man from one of
the shanty cars at the depot on last
Saturday night, fired off their pistols,
we presume to frighten him out of the
when McMahon was accidently
sot through the hand. The wound,
though painful, is not serious; no bones
broken.
11. O. Benton makes a live real es
tate agent. Parties desiring informa
tion cons ruing real estate and other
property in this section, would do
well to addi- -s Mr. Benton. He lias
already controle valuable property in
and around Jackson, lie will gladly
give any information desiri and.
The code of Jackson is ready for the
press and our people are anxious to
know what it contains. The laws are
not of force until published. Our
mayor, assisted liy Mr. IFm, Mallet,
have spent considerable time and la
bor codifying and preparing the docu
ment, and if it is to be printed before
our charter is amended, which is very
importont matter to consider, why the
sooner the better.
Mr. Cloud has moved his machinery
to the railroad near Judge Hendrick’s,
where he can be found making brick as
rappidly as ever. The dirt he is now
using is much better, and he hopes to
make a success in burning the next
lot of brick. The machine he is using
the “dry press” has proven a success
elsewhere and there is no reason why
it should not be operated successfully
here. The brick are pressed from dry
dirt and are uniform in size and pretty
and smoothe as any we ever saw.
We had the pleasure of meeting the
inevitable Thomas J. Burney, travel
ing agent Macon Telegraph and Mes
senger, who called upon our people in
the interest of that estimable journal.
Mr. Burney is at home-among these
people, and the fa t that he represents
a first-class paper was characterized
bythe success with which he met in
securing subscribers while here. The
decided improvement made in the
Messenger under its “ heavy ” editor.
Col. Lamar, is quite unprecedented in
the history of Georgia journalism.
And we say, unhesitatingly, that in
our opinion the Messenger is the most
ably edited Democratic journal in the
State, and to those wanting a live Bour
bon paper, “died in tiie wool,” we say
take the Telegraph and Messenger. It
is not liking in telegraphic and State
news, market reports <fcc.
The Railroad.
The railroad extension is mppully
moving on to completion. The grading
on this eml of the road being superior
to that below Jackson, having less tres
tle work to build, the tracklayers have
made rapid progress—they will reach
McDonough this week. There will be
some detention, we learn, beyond Me-
Donougfh, <on account of trestle and
bridge building, which however, will
be but a few days as extra force has
been put to work. We can safely cotuvt
-on the track being finished to Atlanta
by the 10th of July. The road is lined
from one end to the other with hands,
grading, trestle and bridge building,
tracklaying, sinking cattle guards, <fcc.
The ballansting gang, 150 in number,
under the efficient management/ of
Captain Hall, have .pitched their tents
at Jackson. ’.Vo made the acquaint
ence of those clever gentlemen, Mr,
Fred Hi-U tire cwnmissarygenernl of
the '‘surfacing ” squad, and Mr. Fred
Brunner, engineer on one of the supply
trains, from tvhome we learn that the
road from Jackson to Macon has been
put in good running order and they
can make from 30 to 35 miles per hour
over that portion of the road. Section
hands are being put on as fast as tire
road is fini -hished who will keep it iu
tip-top ruining order until the Con
struction Company are ready to turn
it over to the owners, when the road
will he equpped with fine coaches, -en
gines and other rolling stock adequate
to the immense amount of business
that will be done over the entire line.
Maj. McCracken, chief of consrtuc
tion, and his efficient corps of subor
dinates meret the commendation and
gratitude of the people of this section
as well as the praise of the Syndicate,
for the dispatch with which the M. <fc
B. Extension has progressed since the
survey was made. In less than a yem
several hundred miles of railway will
have been completed, connecting with
steal rails this section of country with
the far West, and passengers and
freight conveyed in rapid transit, mak
ing glad the hearts of thousands of
people. Long may each member of
the ‘‘Cole Syndicate” live to reap an
abundant reward from the products of
this great enterprise.

It ARM i. tIiWIN,
A Kuilrontl Contractor on
tlie 11. & It Ex , Kwindles
tlie people or this sec
ti'.in ami “ skipps.”
The man whose name heads this ar
ticle is famillier to the people of this
section. He contracted and graded a
section on the M. & B. Extension at
this place. We made the acquaintence
of Mr. Irwin, as did many others, on
his arrival, and lie succeed in gaining
the confidence of those who knew him
and lie, apparently, was a first-class
gentleman, lie brought with him a
number of mules, wagons and iniplc
ments, and a gang of the most demor
alizing set of negroes, and white men
with probably one exception, that it
has been our lot to see outside of the
chaingang, and the same opinion has
been freely expressed by our citizens.
Mr. Irwin is the son-in-law of a Mr.
Long, of Nashville, Tenn., and who we
learn is the real sub contractor for this
work ; and he is said to he wealty ; if
this be true, and don’t pay these peo
ple their hard earnings, he is no better
than bis son-in-law. When the final
estimate was made on Invin’s work,
he owed a number of hands, we learn,
from 5 to 40 dollars each ; among them
are two small hoys, children of a help
less widow woman of this place, who
served him faithful and done him good
work, to say nothing of a large num
ber of poor colored people and some
whites, who are dependent upon their
daily labor for the support of their fam
ilies. His creditors waited and watch
ed eagerly and hopefully for the day
set apart, when he promised to return
and pay that which he justly owed
them ; and they waited in confidence,
until Mr. Wm. Mullet, whom Irwin
owed over SBOO. for supplies and bor
rowed money, was put upon his guard
by a telegram from Condon & Cos.,
which signified that Irwin contempla
ted swindling his creditors ; then it was
the hopes of these laborers were blasted.
Mr. JJal let took a mortgage on Irwin’s
property and had in posession fiv mules
which Irwin left as he thought suffici
ent confirmation of his promise that
he would act in good faith. Mallet
went to Atlanta to look after his in
terest, and found Irwin who still (null
ifies ted a disposition to do right. Con
don A Cos., refused to settle until Mal
let arrived, when Irwin stated to them
that lie had amply secured Mallet, and
lie, Irwin, telegraphed Mallet to so
inform Condon & Cos., that he might
draw bis money. On 3/iillets arrival
he was met by Irwin who played the
hypocrite so successful, that Mallet
told Condon & Cos., to pay Irwin and
they would then have a settlement.
After Irwin received his money he !
put iifTsettleing with Mallet saying he
had sent. Gentry to Jackson with mon
ey to pay the hands &c., Arr Mallet
pressed him pretty close until finally
Irwin told him tlm! one or two of the
hoys bar! got li is money and gonehome
with it. Irwin appeared quite indig
nant at Mullet's going to Atlanta after
liitn, and charged around a little when
Mallet told him that he had his affects,
and may never pay him and said “I
am not the one to he huldozed by you.”
Irwin left for Nashville ; and being
guilty of a penal offence, in moving
mortgaged property, Mallet swore out
a warrant for his arrest, obtained a
requisition from theGovernorandstar
ted the Sheriff of Spalding couqty in
close pursuit, who arrived at Nashville
and found Mr. Irwin and his crowd at
home. The Sheriff said Irwin was
somewhat dumfounded when the offi
cer of that county arrested him; and be
came very much enraged and after
cursing and vilifying the people here,
from tvltome he had stolen their meat
and bread or its equivolenl, declared
that he would not be brought hack to
Georgia. The Georgia Sheriff after lis
tening patiently, told him candidly and
quietly, that he ir.ent business, and
lhathe could do one or two things—
settle amount due Mr. Jl/nllet or he
carried hack peacibly, if not, by force.
Irwin “hauled in his horns” and settled
by paying the Sheriff $440, and the
5 mules Jir. il/allet already held. It
is estimated that Irwin owes the people
of this section considerably over SIOOO.
We learn Condon & Cos. said there
was S4OOO, profits in Irwins contra t at
this place. Several parties we learn,
have sworn vengeance against Irwin,
and if they ever come up with him and
\ he refuses to pay them, they will cer
tainly take his life.
A shooting match for a mutton last
Saturday, afforded some amusement
for those interested in sporting. Eight
chances were taken, two shots each,
with doublebarrel shotguns. A cross
was used as a target, forty yards with
out rest, the nearest shot to the center
taking first choice and so on for the
2d, 13d and 4th choice. Mann, McKib
ben, Jim Land, Wright and Fred Hill
were the contestants. Geo. Mann hav
three chances (six shots) won the
whole sheep. It was close between
McKibben and Mann, the latter having
won third and 4th choice by the slight*
est difference. We would suggest that
at the next match a circle be used as a
target, and the man putting the great
est number of shot in a given circle
nearest the center, be the t-.st, thus
showing the patter of the guns used.
Three Parker guns were used last Sa.
tttrday, and the four best shots came
within an inch circle.

Butts county Ga., May 22d.
EniTott Jackson N i-.ws : I have heard
some hints, and intimations of “worthy
parties’’ #hat would have an ti.ee to
grind in the ensuing fall elections.
Along with other names, was that of
Professor E. E. Pound. Nor would I
utter a word to deteriorate, lassen, or
detract from the chances, claims, or
qualifications of any of Butts aspirants,
yet, I would say that the voters of Butts
county could’nt make a better selec
tion, nor honor “themselvesas well as
the position’’ higher—than by sending
the Professor to tho Georgia Legisla
ture. And I assert that if he will ac
cept the call, it will he seen that he lias
as many and as ardent supporters as
any man in Butts county. “Set him lip

The Galhitan Tennessean gives
eujivncy to a story about, the discov
ery cl a cave on the farm of Col.
Jam s Alexander, on the Tviun ssi c
bound try tine, which had tor yea s
pas' been the haunt of the Janie’s

cave was sit tinted rented by a
man giving hi-'name as I J. Ijow

End ihe only me to tie s eu about the
house w as an old colon and woman and
hi r husband, who appeared lomtnage
the farm.and a few head of cattle
that grazed in the pasture field
The cave is located in a desolated
spot upon ihetarin and is iiiT>umded
by dense undergrowth and the en
trance to it is a mere sink li 1--, into
which the water from the earth’s sur
face Hows, forming in the cave a
hoa ui it ill stream ol water, as ch ar as
a crystal. The entrance, howevor, is
large enough to admit the passage ol
a man on horseback, and the bandits
horses were trequi u ly corraled ill re
for days and nights together, while
their masters rolled them e’ves up in
tli“ir blankets, and enjoyed such sweet
and refreshing sleep as only a si use
of perfect security could give tli em
The farm was occupied by II >ward
until the day the killing of 7esse
James was reported, when the nceu
pints disappeared, carrying away the
household goods. The ow ner of the
larrn soon after received a letter sign
ed Frank James, alias F J. Ilowqrd
stating that he ha l vacated the prom,

they left the same evening for a visit
to the cave, and entering tt e same
with torches, a strange, weird sight
met their view. First the skeletons
of four horses, evidently left there by
the robbers on their last raid, as they
still emit an unpleasant odor. Blan
kets and mattresses were strewn
about promiscuously together with
cooking utensils and a I w pieces of
lnrn'ture. This portion of the cave
is perfectly dry and afforded a com"
lortable abode for the bandits. In a
niche in one of the chambers was
found a halt bushel measure, such ns
is used by burner* and in it was f >uud
a miscellaneous assortment. of valua

Among the assortment were four

The Mock aw.
Locust Grove, May 22d, 1882.
Mr. Editor :
The Stock law is a subject of much
importance to the people ol Georgia ;
it is a subject that demands sole r.
quii-t, intelligent 'hon dit, !rom all its
inhabitants especially ii voting pop
u'ation. ll is a aw in the opinion o|
the writer that bool I have been
passed long ago. Our northern
brethren have been reaping its belies
fi s for ye re, and it has pa.-s< and in many
; comities in the State of T< xas, and
Giorgia I am happy to eny, is gaining
ground in passing this most imp r
tatil law. There are, however, some
delinquent counties who aio yet in
the majority ; it is to be hoped they
may see their error and vote lor the
slock 'nw in tie next election. In an
early day and when our country .vas
partially settled, when the creeks
and branches, abounded with eane,
when the grass grew luxuriantly all
over the woods, then it was, that the
pioneer settlers mutually agreed to
tenee in their corn patcln s in onh r
that they might have the cane on the
cieeks and the grass in the woods for
tin ir cattle. Our country has In come
so densely populated now that it is by
for the most important to fence up
the stock. The stock law is not a
law dial will make one man rich and
another man poor ; it proves a bless
ing to all, the poor as well as the rich
are | roporttonatelly Innefited by it.
The poor men it seems have been
afraid ol the slock law, some of them
are a I raid they will not get to split
so many rails, others are afraid they
will have to pay something for pas
tur ngaeow. The Stati of Georgia,
Alabama, and all the States that have
no stock law, pay their laborers less
wages than those States where the
stock law has been enforced. In
Ohio, Pensylvan a, New York, and
all these States where the stock law
has been in force, are paying lh> ir la
borers from 20 to 25 dollais per
•■iontli w hile those States that havo
had no stock law are hardy able to
pay to their laborers 10 dollars per
in- nth. Tne reason why Georgia
can’t pay any heller wages toi labor
is because the expense of fencing is
keeping the land Holders poor; they
are not able, some < f them, to pay
anything tor labor. While this sub
ject was being agitated here one of
our citizens w rote to the editor of the
New Yoik Sun wanting to know of
him how the people liked the law np
there, his answer was they would
think of nothing else; he told him
the people ol N. Y, would n > mole
ahow slock to run at large on their
neighbors land than they would al
low their children to steal tlu-ir neigh
hots Iruit. They consider the law a
good moral one. And it does seem
to be a good moral law. It and es not
prevent any man from having all the
Luce he wunts, lie can fence up as
much land as he pleases. A man who
lias money and w ants to spend it in
budding fences and cross f -nces on
Ids or her farm, they are at liberty to
do so. There arr a good many peo
ple who tire not really able, have not
t' i- money ; their fences have become
nut n anil must tie ieplcnislii-d with
new ones unless li mined I >y lin
stock law. To those men of the State
of Georgia who are yet in favor of
keeping up lenues, I will say, the dis
position seems to lie a very selfish
one ; they remind me of the “dog in
the manger” that would not eat the
hay nor would lie let the poor ox eat
it. Tln-y will not avail t hemselvea ol
the stock law, nor will they allow
the poor widow woman who has land
ad is iot able to keep up her fences
the benefit of the law, and 1 will add
the wnlower man. It is a good rule
in voting to vote for a law that will
do the greatest good to the greatest
number of people, and lain satisfied
the stock law does that very thing.
Wo have a glass lice, called the
Bermuda, that might beadvamageou
l\ used as a pasturing grass, that two
lias been dreaded by a good many as
well as the stock low, on account of
the tenacity with wnidi it clings to
the earth, yet it is only a question of
ime w hen we shall seethe Bermuda
growing as pasture grass on eveiy
man’s lat m, it never comes from tho
seed consequent ly is not apt to be
scattered every where flu-re is a
gi iss that n Hoinbb s tin- Bermuda
very much and is by some mistalc n
tor the Bermuda, yet the genuine
Bermuda has no seed. There never
was no probably never it tie a hitv
that lias been bft to the Vox Popn’i
but what has met with some <>p osi
lion, yet I do t bink that it ev-r there
was a law t at. ought to ince the
general approbation of the people itis
the -tuck law I do think, with a
g ncial slock law in Georgia and '.he
advantage!* lo he had fr in >ur new

When e ich a ul every enmity shall
liavi driver the angry curs from the
mangers, u heo by an nverw l-elinning
majority they shall hav hei-u forced
to heat a hasty etrest, then he peo
p e will have accorup islied a victory.
The writer is ot opinion that ev
iry patriotic mm ought to lend a
helping hand to those counties who
are yet siriigling for the law, 1 think
we mi gin use some of the language
