KARTHEI.L, IIAKT COUNTY. A.:
Wdliii'Mlny Morning. July I. 1*77.
It Beats “Bob-Tail.”
Yu* it does, to see Bro. Chymes, of
our worthy cotemporary, the Toecoa
Herald , taking up his lance in defence
of “ bob-tail ” preachers. Now, we
always considered him as far above
them —but, of course, every man knows
his own position, and we are not mad
about that either. If he will persist in
aligning himself with the “hob-tails, 4 ’
it Is none of our business. Wonder if
any of our eminent lawyers will con
sider themselves as “jaeklegs?” As to
our jocular remarks regarding our dis
tinguished delegates to the Convention,
we would say, that we have no doubt
but that they are willing and able to do
their duty to their constituents in Ilart
as elsewhere. We consider them as
worthy gentlemen. True, we don’t!
think the upper Counties came up to!
the tacit understanding as our County
did, as the votes cast show, but, as we
said before, we are not mad. But don’t
the Herald think it was just a little un
fair? Like Bro. Chymes, 44 we would
greatly have preferred to sec one man
from Hart in the delegationbut as
the people have decreed otherwise, we
submit cheerfully, looking forward with
bright anticipations to that good time
coming that Bro. Crymes tells us about.
Public Meeting in Toccoa.
In the last Herald , we see a call for a
meeting, signed “ Citizens,” published
one day to be held in Toccoa the next,
for the people of this Senatorial District
to express their will upon leading and
important changes asked for in our
Constitution. The Herald says Clarkes
ville, Carncsville and Hartwell are ex
pected to be fully represented. “ Citi
zens ” must certainly have known that
the “news could not he carried to Mary”
in time to attend. Gabriel’s trumpet,
sounded from some of Habersham’s
highestpeaks, only could have called the
clans together upon so short notice.
We can tell what we want, viz: All
useless offices abolished, the villainous
homestead abolished, all local legislation
done away with, so that the laws will be
the same in every County in the State,
the Legislature reduced to 100 members
all told, with biennial sessions, for which
pay each member $3.00 per day, with
out mileage.
Doorkeeper.
J. L. Johnson, of this County, is can
didate for Doorkeeper of the Constitu
tional Convention. Jim lost an arm, off
at the shoulder, in the late “unpleasant
ness, has a large family of little girls, is
a clever fellow and a good Presbyterian,
and as Hart County has no delegate in
the Convention, we hope the delegates
from the 31st District will do all they
can for him, as they could not help a
better fellow.
Our Visit to llm-toi'll.
The following compliinentry article on
our town is from our excellent neighbor,
the Franklin Register. Through modesty
we leave out some of the good things said
about our Me., who declines the title of
Colonel, as he only, by signal bravery, got
to be fourth sergeant during the late war :
We paid a visit to the above rapidly im
proving little village on Monday last, to be
present at the commencement of Prof. Loo
ney’s High School. This being our lirst
visit, we were surprised at its appearance.
Hartwell is nicely located, and is certainly
the prettiest village of its size in the State.
Her citizens are thrifty, enterprising and
hospitable. If you doubt this, pay the
town a visit, and notice her flourishing
school, her elegant churches, her clean and
nicely laid-off streets, the tastefully and
beautiful residences, and last but not least,
the kind manner in which strangers are re
ceived and treated.
The examination during the day and ex
hibition at night was conducted to the sat
isfaction of all present, which reflects great
credit upon Prof. Looney and his accom
plished wife. Miss Anna Jordan, the
beautiful and accomplished music teacher,
with th assistance of her c!fls, gave an
entertainment on Tuesday night, which
proved a success in every particular.
Hartwell is ahead o! any place of*its
size in the State for beautiful and intelli
gent young ladies We called upon the edi
tors of our worthy contemporary, The
Sun. The good people of Hartwell should
sustain them in their efforts to build up a
flrstclass newspaper in their town. Suc
cess to The Sun.
The election for Senator from the 31st
Senatorial District is being freely discuss
ed, Capt, Hodges seems to be the favor
ite. He will, if elected, represent the en
tire District with ability. \Vc hope to visit
Hartwell again in the near future. Our
tlrst visit, and the kind and considerate at
tention shown us by a number of her citi
zens will never be forgotten.
Comm n lea lion.
As the election is over, some will be a
little down in spirits, and we can’t all pour
spirits down to keep them up, I will pen
you a few lines about the past. In 1839, 1
gave in nine negroes and 280 acres of land
and other property and myself, and I paid
E. R. White 812.10. Now I ain't worth a
negro, and have to pay about S2O. We
learn that the person, called Jesus Christ,
was born in the days of taxes. If I under
stand the reading, taxes were looked upon
as a reproach or a curse. It is so with us
now. The revolution of 177 G began about
taxes, and if the sires of those days could
be here now a short time and behold our
situation, they would be ashamed that their
posterity had so degenerated. They fought
for freedom from taxes. Have we got it?
No ! The}' planted trees and raised fruit,
com and tobacco, and made brandy and
whisky, and used it as they pleased, and it
was nobody's business. How is it now?
The devilish Rads and Puritans don't want
it to be so now. Fifty years ago you could
get any amount of whisky at 40 cents per
gallon, and tobacco at 12$ cents per pound.
Not so now. Why ? Taxes. About 48
years ago, I knew as likely a negro as was
in Elbert County sold and paid for in
whisky, hauled ten miles and delivered |
at 40 cents ; and if any one doubts the cor- j
rectness of my statement, let them inquire
of Maj. J. H. Jones, of Elbert, for his
father sold the negro to Robert Booth.
The last I bought I paid $2 a gallon, and
it was like stealing it. That was over two
years ago. Now 1 can't get any. See the
the difference between taxes 40 years ago
and now. It takes over a million of dol
lars to run this cursed government of
Georgia. Whyl 1 So many unnecessary
oflices and so much pay—Commissioners
of Agriculture, Geology, Inspectors of
Guano, and the like. We used to do with
out them, and done as well as we do now,
and better—and Commissioners of educa
tion ; and the tax money settles down in
their pockets, and the poor farmers—the
backbone of the world —are taxed to keep
them up. Let them that have use for them
pay for them, and not tax the poor to pay
them. As 1 said in my last, we are taxed
to death. If a poor fellow has but two
acres of land to make a living on for his
family and fails to pay the tax, whether he
is able to make it or not, they, the govern
ment, that ought to protect every citizen—
I say, if he fails to pay his taxes, will sell
it for taxes. "We are taxed even on the old
rags we wear —and many can’t show much
more, poor men with large families and
heavy expenses—and on our old broken
legged pots and skillets, and our old plows,
and our old wagons, and poor old mules,
and poor lousey cows, and razor-back,
lousey shoats. And one of the worst fea
tures is, too many of the young men of
the present day don’t want to work on the
plantations—white and black. Clerkships,
agencies and professions spoils things.
That is one reason that corn and meats are
as high as they are. Now, as we are going
to have a Convention to try and better our
situation, let us try and get the Convention
to take up the old Constitution and adopt
it as it was, with the exception of slavery,
and no homestead, nor exemption, and we
will have anjhoncster people. Disfranchise
all felons. And if the Governor is to be
elected every four years, let the Legisla
ture assemble once in four years, and no
oftener, except when the Governor thinks
it necessary, and under such circumstances
he can call them together—but let their
regular sessions be once in four years, and
the session to be only 20 days, with five
five dollars per day to each member, or
less. I think that they could do very well
with three or four, but let five he the ex
treme. Lessen the amount of offices and
salaries, and then lessen taxes. There is
no real necessity for taxes being higher
than they were in 183. And bring down
everything to suit. Allowing jurors one
dollar a day is wrong ; we had just as well
give every man one dollar for working on
the roads. We have to do public service,
and let jury service be done gratis.

NATURE’S OWN REMEDY,
Entering at once into the blood, expelling all scrof
ulous, syphilitic, and rheumatic affections. Alone,
it it a searching alterative, but when combined with
Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock, and other herbs, it forms
Sr. Tutt’s Sarsaparilla
and Queen’s Delight,
The most powerful blood purifier known to medical
science for the cure of old ulcers, diseased joints, foul
discharges from the ears and nostrils, abscesses, skin
diseases, dropsy, kidney complaint, evil effects of
secret practices, disordered liver aqd spleen. Its use
strengthens the nervous system, imparts a fair com
plexion, and builds up the body with
HEALTHY, SOLID FLESH.
As an antidote to syphilitic poison it is strongly
recommended. Hundreds of cases of the worst type
have been radically cured by it. Being purely veg
etable its continued use will do no harm. The best
time to take it is during the summer and fall; and
instead of debility, headache, fever and ague, you
will enjoy robust health. Sold by all druggists.
