Heath of Joel Gaskin.
Nearly every'one in this section
know Joel Gaskin, the proprietor
of the celebrated Gaskin Spring,
and they will be pained to learn of
his death, which occurred at his
home, at the Springs, last Sunday
night. He had been ill for some
time, but as he had been a hearty,
hale man, it was hoped he would
soon be better, still, it is seen,
those wishes were in vain. Mr.
Gaskin was in his 65th, year, and
was born and raised in this county,

Hon, A. It. Finley' has handed

count of election returns and other
stuff that we can not leave over, it

It will also be published in circular

SOI wBMF h Politician Scheming for

n the ib rk days of reconstruc

re >lg|Mps# v as in his glory, the
"'ljKlwkrue.” com P ose d °f! ne
gro^j(||||»’di;scalawags, was holding
nightl* meetings, something like
theg“i.efore Day” clubs, that are
hesfctd from in different parts of the
county. If a white man made a
negro angry he was snatched up
before the Freedman’s Bureau, and
fined, the negroe’s evidence always
taken in preference to that of the
white man. Rifles were furnished
ttie negroes,- and a general reign
of terror was the result. It was
done then to aggravate the’fpeople
to deeds of violence, andiswe be
lieve the same party is at work, in
the same manner for same purpose.
A telegram from Americas last
Sunday says :—A remarkable story
is told in Americus to-day of a fake
funeral in a little country' town
nearby recently. The corpse came
bv express and a swell negro fu
neral followed the same day.
The weight of the coffin surpris
ed many onlookers, requiring the
strength of a dozen stalwart ne
groes to carry it. Suspicion was
aroused and late that night an in
vestigation was made by curious
white citizens. The coffin was fill
ed with rifles.
A rumor comes from Nichols, in
this county, that a coffin containing
riiles had beeh buried by colored
people there last Sunday, about the
the time the one was found in like !
manner near Americas, which was
subsequently dug upland found to
contak* guffs.
•Now. our suppositionOas to the
republican party having anything
to do with this matter may be
wrong, but we do know if the ne
groes are receiving rifles in this
manner, that some body must be
shipping them, and sooner or later
there will be trouble. The South
ern people are the negros friend,
if he will let them be, but virtue
sometimes is strained too much,
and then comes a tear, a break, and
the republican party nor the United
States army will ever be swift
enough to)stay the anger that will
sweep them from the land. Let
these “Before Day Clubs” be aban
doned, or there may be trouble be
fore night!
Investigation of Scuppernonsr Grape.
The United States Department
of Agriculture is
Scuppernong grape with a view to
determining the best varieties,
methods of culture, pruning, train
ing, etc., as well as the uses to
which the fruit can be put. One
of the features of this investiga
tion which is considered of par
ticular importance is the locating
of vines of this type, either wild
or in cultivation, that are known
to excel in productiveness, size,
color or quality of fruit, or in
some other important particular.
In this connection, the Viticul
turist of the Bureau of Plant In
dustry, who has the work in
charge, will be glad to receive re
pots on such vines from persons
who know of their existance, stat
ing the facts # regarding them and
the points of special merit that
have been observed in them.
Correspondence regarding such
vines should be addressed to Geo.
C. Husmann, Viticulturist, Bu
reau of Plant Industry, U. S.
Department of Agriculture, Wash
ington, D. C.
The Department will, upon ap
plication, furnish special mailing
botes and tanks with which spec
imens of choice varieties can be
fowarded to tne Viticulturist for
examination, without cost to the
sender.
