paralyze the public with a haughty

actually condescended to do a little

into an office nowadays, he docs

Savannah, Ga., April 20 An
interesting argument was had in
the United .States circuit court
this morning before Hon. Kmory
Speer, judge. It was one brought
by Mis. Elizabeth T. Belt, former
ly of Bullock coumy, now of New
York, against Colonel V. C. Jones
and Mujor J. B. Cummings, of
Augusta, executors of the estate
of ex-Governor Clias. J. JenkL.s.
The hill is brought by toe plaintiff,
who alleged, among other things,
that ex Governor Jenkins, in 1862
came into possession of IIOO.OUO
confederate money, worth at that
lime $50,000, and that with the
exception of $20 000, which were
paid on a mortgage for her bus-
band’s estate, she had not received
one cent. She therefore brought
suit against the executors of the
estate of the deceased governor
for the recovery of $77,000, or
what it was in 1862. The plead
ings occupied all the morning, nnd
at 2 o'clock this afternoon the
court dismissed the bill on the
ground that the statute of limits
lions barred it. In giving his de
cision Judge Speer said that the
defamatory charges ami largnage
in the hill were net sustained, and
tnat the reputation of ex Governor
Jenkins was as fully and as com
pletely exonerated as it was pos
sible for it to be. He then dism ss
ed the hill.

Albany News: There are bad
adventures in every line of busi
ness under the sun. There have
been individual failures in many
tines of truck farming, but it weald
be fair to look upon them merely
as the exceptions that prove the
rule of success. Now here is an in
teresting truck item from toe Quit-
man Free Press, one that is in the
li i* ot the rule: “Randolph Averts
has realized from half an acre of
radishes, seventy dollars, and will
now put the land iu cotton. Truck
raising will one day be an impor
tant industry in Brooks county.
No Lulu Hurst uncertainty about
that.” The question arises, why
hasn’t something in this line been
done bv our Dougherty truck-grow
ers? The finest of radishes can be
grown in February and March. It
is a vegetable that stands shipping
well, and that brings good prices in
the western markets. Others might
c*aily have done just wltat has been
successfully accomplisbe I by Mr.
Randolph Averts of Brooks county
und the fact is worth remembering.
