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. Wm. T. O. Cook.
