They had Some Fun, but it Cost Them Some
Trouble.
The following affair occurred not very far
from Gillsville, on the Northeastern Rail
road, and is copied from the Gainesville Ea
gle :
“ One of our committing courts bound over
three or four young gentleman from the lower
part of the county one day this week, on the
charge of riot. They say it is all the result
of a practical joke. It seems a gentleman
had sold some land, and received in payment
a check for twenty-eight hundred dollars.
They conceived the idea that it would be cap
ital fun to frighten him on his way home. For
this purpose they posted themselves at a con
venient point on the road at night and when
he came up they halted him, and asked him
if he was the man who sold the land and got
the twenty-eight hundred dollars, whereupon,
to use a slang phrase, he “quit the patch,”
that is to say, incontinently fled. Afterward
learning who they were, lie swore out a war
rant for them, and now the courts will have
to decide whether it was a joke or not. It
seems to us. that by the time they get out of
it they will find it a sorry joke.”
IlPTbe Gainesville Southron has tire fol
lowing to say of John I. Cheatham, who died
in that town not long since. Many of onr
readers will be interested in this, because
Mr. Cheatham was for a long time an honored
citizen of this count}’: “He was,” says that
paper, “the pioneer cotton manufacturer near
Savannah, in its earliest days, and he first
put in motion the great mills at Lawrence
ville, which were destroyed bj* fire during the
war. Mr. Cheatham was far above the aver
age of men in intelligence, energy and physi
cal endurance, and in every walk of life he
was scrupulously honest and exae-t. lie des
pised littleness or dishonest}’ in every form,
as almost every old man in Georgia well
knows.” At the time of his decease he was
seventy years of age.
A Terrible Crime.
Our town is in a state of feverish excite
ment over one of the most brutal munlcrs
ever perpetrated, committed here Wednesday
evening.
The person killed and murdered was Mr.
1 homas N. Skelton, the jailer of our county,
by the only inmate of the jail, one Henry Hill
alias Henry Turner, colored. The facts of
the case arc about as follows :
Henry Ilill lias been in jail ever since last
September, and when arrested was put under
especial surveillance, having a year or two
ago been tried and convicted for an assault
on Mr. Skelton—at that time only choking
him very severely'. For that offense he was
sentenced to one year in the county chain
gang. he not having been the principal, and
served out his sentence in Madison county.
He was again arrested, for some trivial
offense, last year and lie was placed in a cell
•and a chain put around his ankles, and locked
securely in there. The cell door had a double
lock—one of the locks locking a little trap in
the door about 12x14 inches in size, through
which his food was passed to him.
4 esterday' evening M. Skelton went in jail
by’ himself, and unlocking the passage door
lie went to the cell door and unlocked Ljie trap
to his cell, as I have described, and handed
him his food through that and took the bucket
to fetch him some water. When lie took out
out the bucket lie locked the trap in the cell
door and went after water.
Henry had, by some means, managed to
drive out. the bolt that held the lock of the
trap in the cell door, and while Skelton was
gone, crawled through this little trap. 12 by
14 inches, and stationed himself on the right
hand of the inside of the passage door, and
when Skelton returned with the bucket of
water, was waiting there for him, and as soon
as he opened the passage door, knocked him
in the head with a piece of plank, taken from
his bunk, and beat him over the head, literally
beating him all to pieces. This occurred
about 5 o’clock yesterday evening, and the
hands at work on the livery stable not more
than twenty steps from the jail never heard
anything of it, which is accounted for from
the fact that the wind was blowing very’ hard
at the time.
Henry remained in the jail until some time
afterdat k, for Mr. James E. Tickoy in passing
the jail an hour after dark heard Henry
halloing for someone to bring him some
whisky.
Mr. Skelton was not missed until about 9
o’clock last night, lie had left his wife at
home after dinner, who was very sad, hav
ing just received news of the death of her
brother, N. K. Sullivan of Anderson, 8. C.,
and told her lie was busy’ in his store, but
would return as early as possible, lie re
mained in the store until about five o’clock in
the evening and then taking his bucket told
his partner Air. Snipes, that lie would feed
the prisoner in jail, and then go home—and
Mr. Snipes thinking he had gone felt no un
easiness about him until about 9 o’clock, Mr.
Snipes wanted a key that it was necessary for
him to have, sent to Skelton’s house for it,
when he learned that Mr. Skelton had never
been home. He at once called in several
citizens and they went to the jail and found
one of the most revolting and sickening sights
ever witnessed—that of Mr. Skelton, lying on
the floor of the jail weltering in a pool of
blood, and beat all to pieces as before de
scribed. Henry has made his escape, but at
once a band of men was made up, and organized
and went in pursuit, but returned this morning
unable to find him. It is supposed lie has
crossed the river, and has gone to South
Carolina. Henry is a large black negro,
weight about 160 ponnds, and can easily” be
identified by his having two thumbs on one
of his hands.— Atlanta Constitution.

Recovering Burned Money.
The American Express Company had
several safes in the cars which were burned
at the recent railroad disaster at Tioga Centre,
N. Y., on the 23d ult. 'The company did not
open the safes, —as they contained, among
other things, paper money, that if burned
would be destroyed beyond all hope of re
demption if carelessly handled,—but sent
them to Washington to be opened in the base
ment of the Treasury by the experts from the
redemption division of the Treasurer's office.
In the burnt mas 9 were found jewelry, includ
ing a lot of diamonds and watches, gold and
silver coin, legal-tender notes, national bank
notes, Government coupons, and railroad
bonds. The coin was melted in all manner
of shapes. The jewelry, diamonds,
is worthless. The burned legal tender notes
were a black mass, with slight crevices on the
sides, showing the separation of note from
note. The scaly and brittle remains were
separated with great care. The experts, by
examination, o were enabled to identify the
notes, together with their respective numbers.
They will be replaced by new notes. One
young lady is busy on the coupons, and has
identified a number of 4 per cent, coupons
representing SSOO each, and 4$ per cent,
coupons representing $11.75 each. These
will also be redeemed. Such is the expert
ness with which, apparently, nothing but black
brittle masses are handled that it is very
likely that every note, coupon, and bond that
was burned will be separated and identified.
The LTiion Point correspondent of the
Greenesboro Herald writes that a negro
woman, living at the Belle Greene Copper
Mine, locked her three children up in her cabin
a few days ago, and went visiting. While she
was away the house took fire, and the house
and children were all burnt together.
According to the Elberton Gazette, a few of
the monied men of that town have determined
to start a factory there, of a capital of $35,000
can be raised.

The general information thus placed before you is not submitted as a more compliance with the
law only, but for the further purpose that, through you, the school work of (he county may be
come more generally known. The law to which your attention has already been directed says,
“ That it shall be the duty of the County School Commissioners of each of the counties of this State
to make a report of the school operations of the preceding year to the Brand Jury, at the Spring
term of thcCourt, and to place his books before them for examination ; and in making up the gen
eral presentments, it shall be the duty of the jury to take proper notice of the matters thus brow-lit
to their attention.”
While 1 am sure that for want of sufficient time, it is quite impracticable for your body to fully
investigate all to which your attention is directed, and to make all the calculations whose results
only arc here tabulated, yet, [ do hope you will give the subject that attention which the cause of
education justly demands. Would it not be well for grand juries to begin to consider the impor
tant fact that is now seriously claiming the attention Of all the leading powers of the civilized
world that there is more true statesmanship in that line of policy which prevents the commission
of crime than in its punishment after committed.
Hitherto your predecessors have given little more attention to the school work of the county
than to condemn in unqualified terms the salary which l have received as County School Commis
sioner. This is a matter regulated by the Board of Education undcrithc law, and over which juries
have no control ; still, 1 earnestly request that you investigate this feature not partially, but'in all
its hearings. To do this 1 take the liberty to make the following suggestions :
Ist. Carefully consider what the duties of a County School Commissioner arc as given by the
law itself, the Instructions of the State School Commissioner, and the Regulations made by the
County Board of Education; and then, from the record here presented, see whether I have dis
charged these duties or not.
2d. Interview the Board of Education. If the entire body bo not available, consult its President
J. A. B. Mahattey, Esq.
3. There arc many intelligent tcaohcrs in the county—men and women who are intimately ac
quainted and closely identified with the educational interests of the people. At least some of'thcsse
arc of easy access. Consult with them, as you would with any other witness who is supposed to
know something of the case brought before you for investigation.
These, and such other things as you may choose, being considered, I shall, to say tho least, have
the satisfaction of not being condemned unheard.
Section 13, School Law, approved Aug. 23,1872, makes it the duty of Brand Juries toelcct mem
bers of the County Board of Education, and to fill vacancies when they occur. As the official term
of no member expires during the present year, no regular election comes in order before your body ;
but Mr. B. W. Brown, a member of the present Board, having, as I learn, moved beyond tho limits
of the county, it becomes necessary for you to till the vacancy thus made.
In making the appointment you will please state whom the newly chosen member succeeds, how
the vacancy occurred, and when the term of office expires, which, in this case, will be Feb. Term
of Court, 1882.
And just here indulge me in making one more suggestion ; for it is one of great importance to all
connected with public schools in the county. Be careful to elect a member who will faithfully
discharge the duties of the office. It is poorly necessary to appoint a man who will seldom or never
attend the meetings of the Board ; yet it is a matter very easily done. This, in a great measure
may be attributed to the fact that members receive no nay for their work—a feature beneath the
dignity of the State of Georgia.
Before closing this Report your honorable body will allow me to commend the faithfulness and
ability of a majority of the present Board of Education. [do not remember that any ono of this
majority has ever been absent from the post of duty.
Asa matter of general information 1 would further state that the standard of education is now
such as to justify a more rigid and more closely contested examination of teachers ; and it is but
fair to state in advance that those who are not able to “pass muster” will not be placed in chargo
of public schools. Evils which were once necessary, are, in this respect, no longer regarded so."
Thanking you for the courtesy extended, and indulging the hope that nothing herein is irrelevant,
I close this Report, claiming that all the figures are correct; but without)the pleasing conscious
ness that I have committed no errors in the detail of the work done.
All of which is most respectfully submitted. G. J. N. Wilson,
Bounty School Comimnissioncr.

BLACKSTOCK & GOLD,
March 2 1881. Contractors.
A Black List.
It may not be generally known to our
country readers that among the laws govern
ing the Merchant’s Exchange is one that
makes it incumbent upon each member of the
Exchange to furnish to the Secretary of the
institution a list of all those who become
delinquent in the payment of debts, and the
Secretary, by the laws of the Exchange, keeps
the names thus furnished in a book specially
provided for the purpose, which book isopen
to the inspection of every merchant of Athens.
I, nder such a system, it will soon be impossi
ble for one who has been backward in the
payment of his indebtednes, to secure credit
at all, and the sj’stem inaugurated will prove
beneficial to both creditor and merchant, as
it will eliminate the worthless class of debtors
from ofTour merchants’ books altogether, and
thus bring about a more healthy and trust
worthy feeling between the better class of
customers and the merchants.
The above we get from the Athens Chron
icle, and presume that it has reference to
Athens. The plan is a good one, and if
properly carried out would be a benefit to
both the buyer and the seller. We would
suggest that the same plan be put in force in
Gainesville, and in the towns on the North
eastern Railroad, then the citizens of Jackson
county would be better off in more than one
particular. Now, when a weak farmer ex
hausts his credit in Athens he goe3 to Gaines
ville. The merchants of that town open their
arras to him, and think that it is their low
prices that brings him to them; sell him a
bill of goods, and then brag about taking
trade away from Athens. When Gainesville
finds him out he takes in some town on the
Northeastern, and keeps up the game until
he becomes well known in all of the trading
towns. The bad effects of this system are
too well known and patent to be named in
this article. One, however, we will mention.
We have reference to the scouring of the
country every fall and winter by collecting
agents from our large trading centers, hunt
ing up delinquents, the consequent litigation,
expense and trouble.
The adoption of a black list will obviate
the most of this work ; will reduce the time
price of goods to those who are compelled to
buy on time, and will make the delinquents
strive to regain their credit.
