Memoir ol a Mule Journey.
A few days ago. in company of Prof.
V. T. Sanford, of Cuthbert, we made a
brief excursion through tlie counties of
JelTeraon. Burke, Richmond and Mc
Duffie. Our first objective i>oint was
Stellaville, a flourishing little village
that sprang into existence a few years
ago in consequence of tlie establish
meet of Jefferson High School, near
decided under tlm ' wh!.enn«‘ , fud U Hme
of the free scliooi system,—hut the lit¬
tle town to which it gave birth contm
SSS little vll
hopeful, pass here, this neat
luge may expand to the dimensions of
a cilv. The crops around this place,
as indeed, we may observe of our whole
route were not very promising. The
drv, hot July has lelt its history clear
ly written in fields of cotton with small
weeds having on them a few ripe pods
and a great many parched shapes. The
corn fields present a better aspect It
wan planted early and was to a large
extent matured lieforc the drought be¬
gun. lt ,■ saw a number of fields which
M-eined to he yielding as much as the
quality of the land would lend one to
expect. From Stellaville we proceeded
to llephzibah, having on the way stop¬
ped for a short time at Mount Moriah
where a camp meeting was in progress.
Good order, good preaching and abun¬
dant hospitality seemed to be the most
prominent items of the programme.
The roads from this place to Hephzi
bah extend through a fine farming
rturSUts the C'ftton yield wi res 1 • 1 '

few families Wlio have built some neat
homes around llephzibah High School.
But small as is its population, it of num¬ the
bers among its citizens some
ablest divines and some of the most
distinguished educators in the Slate.
The High School was established here
near a quarter of a century ago by tlie
llephzibah Baptist Association and has
achieved a brilliant history. Itev.J.W.
Ellington, a native of our county, is to
take charge of tlie school at its opening
session, lie is known to be one of the
most faithful and etllcient of teachers,
ami, we trust his success in this new field
will he commensurate with his merits.
From llephzibah we pioceeded across of
McDullie county to the house a
friend whose possessions border on Lil¬
lie i-iver. Along this route the seasons
had Is i ii a little more propitbus and
t(lt) ii,-l.ls V\ «»H* it little more Gib t*l I ill
aspect. Still tv*, saw veiy.litlle i iil.lon
from which more than half an average
yield could ho expected. After a short
sojourn hero around the dead town of
it i.vsville. we turned homeward, having and

claim of former acquaintance. V.
Senator Tutt’n “Labw Bill.”
Tlie great risk which farmers
ihmncAs' To 'laborers has
long been regarded as one of the which most
serious of the many vexations
beset them under our present lack of
system. As the law is and has been
the laborer to whom supplies have been
advanced msy break his contract with¬
out a grievance, and leaving his too
trustful landlord to bear his loss as lie
may without any chance of redress.
We are glad to learn that Senator Tutt
has introduced a hill ill the Legislature,
the design of which is to lessen, if not
wholly remedy this evil. Having
heard that this bill lias been spoken of
by some of its opponents in very harsh
terms, we took occasion, meeting him
here at our court to say—
“Senator, will you he kind enough to
inform our people ot tlie distinguishing
features of your labor bill recently in¬
troduced in the Senate ?”
“Yes, sir, 1 will take great pleasure
in doing so. My bill lias been greatly
misrepresented, and l believe in many
c ises wilfully s i. It is generally denom¬
inated ny its opponents “Tntt’s Slavery
Bill.” I think the bill is Hot only not
oppressive, but it is just and equitable
to all parties. It does not propose to
force a laborer to remain in the employ
of his employer. Neither can you pros¬
ecute the laborer who labors during the
iHU'iod of his contract no matter how
much advances he may have had. The
object of the bill is simply to require
the laborer who leaves before the expi
ration of his contract to pay back to
his employer the advances which he has
