Ushraitht.— We copy from the Irwin
lon Southerner and Appeal tbe follow ng
statement of the sanitary condition of tbe
good county of Twiggt, given by a corres
por.deot. We cannot say positively, but
the presence of Bam Gove, tbe redoubtable
Radical candidate for Congress sorre years
since, may have something to do with it:
Twenty- five white persons died in this
county from the Ist of June to the 19th of
October, that I know and have heard of—
including Mr. Buffington who was killed—
and there may have been others of whose
dea h I have not heard. Fifteen of these ,
twenty fore lived in an area of about lour
oiiks square, in aid war tbe "flat woods.” '
Such mortality 1 reckon, is unprecedented
in tbe history of tbe county. Hemorrhagic
and typhoid fevers have almost amounted (
to so epidemic among us. We have a de
cided adv. n’age over Memphis, and other
regions visited by yellow lever, however, if
the doctors are cornet. For they say the
yellow fever is contagious ; and hemortbaglb
and typhoid fevers are not.

shall be surprised.
Airtirsrocs'—With no intentioc of cre
ating any excitement, but with a simple
desire to record a phasing discovery, we
give this from tbe Oglethorpe Echo;
Last week, in washing some gravel at the
Guarantee mine, a nugget of tbe precious
to- tal was foood as large as a guinea >m.
The State Fair.
When our paper went to press last we»k
the State Fair was in the full tide of suc
cessful operation at Macon. It is not nec
essary now. therefore, to go into a detailed
aeronnt of the many incidents connected
therewith, ho* we simply propone to deal
generally wiih the subject.
Beyond all doub* the Fair wa® a success
There m»v have been larger dbpUvs in
former years of home productions stock
machinery. fowls, agricultural implements,
and the many ether articles seen at the vari
ous exhibitions ; but as to general excellence,
superior qnalitv, as wHI as in a monetary
point of view, the exhibition of 1879 will
hear a favorable comparison with any io tbe
past.
Tbe nnmher of p* rsons n atfeedmee far
excre’el that of any exh : bition ev« r held in
Macon. Every train bore a solid, compact
ms's of hnmsn’tv to the eitv. and every pUce
where a meal or a bed could he had w at oc
cupied. The hotels were overrun, and
boarding-houses and private resid-nce* were
all full. In fact, the doors of the whole town
werejthrown open to its visitors.
Tbe ctowd was largest on Wednesday,
being attracted by the unveiling of the long
delayed Confederate Monument. The cere
monies «*n this occasion wore peculiarly
thrilling. Stern men wept at the scene; and
indeed, callous utu®t have been the heart
that could not be moved in that
boor. The procession through tbe principal
streets formed a pageant such as had never
been seen in Macon ; and when the statue
was shorn of its covering, and the cannon
announced tbe fact in its voice of thuoder.
the shouts of tbe people reverberated ifcrough
ihe entire city. The oration was a magnifi
cent tribute to tbe dead heroes, aod found a
warm approval in every bos m It did
however, look a little singular that a United
States military hand should have been en
gaged to famish roo«ic for the occasion.
But gr»nd as wete the scenes and incidents
of tbe day. the culminating triumph of the
occasion was reserved for the night. This
was a time never to be forgotten. Ibe main
thoroughfares were illuminated with Chinese
lanterns, formed in various devices. In ad
dition to this. Young America, fully alive to
tbe importance of tbe hour, turned loose
whole boxer of fire-works, and until a late
hour tbe heavens were illumined with
rockets, etc.
Tbna, day after day tbe interest was kept
op. At the Park and in the city— fvery
where—something wns afloat to please these
who had gone to Macon.
It may not be out of place to soy that the
race’ formed a great attraction to tbc Fair.
Thousands of people witnessed tbe racing
each day, and among tbe spectators were
qni'e a cumber of meo who have said bard
things against ibis sport.
Well, tbe exhibition is over, aod all must
admit that it was a grand triumph for the
Society, as well as a credit to tbe Slate, and
tbe city in which it was held.
root’s Brioadk.—The reunion of the
survivors of Cook's Brigade on the 29 b
nl» , in Macon, was a memorable occasion.
Old friends were broogbl together and
fongbt tbeir battle* again over tbe well
spread table. Acquaintances were made
and friendships strengthened that will last
until wen member of the brigade shall go
down to bis narrow home Gen. Cock was
there, and was greeted by almost every one
of his old command wiih a heartiness that
attested tbe high esteem in which be was
betd.
Death of Ho*. Zach Ohaxdi.kr.—The
telegrams announce the sodden death, on tbe
Ist itist., of Sepal of Chandler, of Michigan.
The event took place at the Grand Pacific
! hotel, Chicago. He bad made a cumber of
speeches in Wisconsin, and delivered an ad
dress in Chicago on tbeeveni g of his death.
The deceased while living never by word or
i iked commended himself to our people, and
. now that lie is dead, let those whom be spent
a lifetime in abusing give him tbe charity of
intense silence.
M. K T.—Ham pays his compFm nts to
. tbe Atlanta independent prophet io this
style:
As a political prophet Msrcellus Thornton
is a peculiarly promis.rg pie-plant. If
Marcellus waits to are ail his predictions
1 verified, be will be bearded like a Pard and
( as gray as Noah’s lead mule.
Mm. M. .Mitchell,
Mr Editor: —l see that tbe gentlemnn
, whose name beads this article has been sug
gested for Comptrolkr General aod State
Treasuret. distiiiCtively. I rise to second
tbe proposition, for ei’ber place. Tbe
• office of Comptroller General is a very
1 complicated ooe. aod requires exicutiTe ab 1
ity-ofahigb order to run it This Mr
Mitchell possesses to a large degree. He
t has been connected with ibe macse-vneut of
| the Gnffin Banking Company since its or
gaotxiiioo ; and since be has had a voice in
' its management tbe in-'itution has noi lost a
dollar, and has paid tbe stockholders very
hands -roe d.video’s.
As State 7'ressarer, hr? spHsd-d ficancial
abilities would be brought into fine pl.-y
. ** there is io tbe
they m v belong—with the utmost pn’i'e
r<e*s. *cd i« popular wherever >-e i« known.
There is no ‘red tape" or “potting on airs”
nhoot Mr. M. He is a plain, practical, cul
tivated and polished gent'euttn. Tie people
of BtwM ng county show no onpotifou to
him for Comity Treasurer. His vvre®m of ,
keeping *l»e record o' our fium.-ial »flt : r« is
the most cnm-tf<**e in exwtmne Anr one
who ran read can. io a few moneuts. tell all ,
shout our eoun*y fnrvta. and from what
aonre* everv dollar is received, ami on what
account paid out. O'ter counties have
adapted hi' svstem of book-keeping, and a re
delighted with it.
I repeat. »* indorse him down this way;
and while he is no candidate for either place
mentioned, we can say be woo'd fill either
w'"h credit to himself, satisfaction to the
public, and honor to his State.

Reply to Mr. Hill.
Mr Hill accows me of calting to mv aid
| the services of some friend. Io whom
| fa® he savs) righifnlty belongs the au'hor- i
ship of these pipers. Rot as u®nal, Mr
flill is mistsken. I neeJ no ex'ra ammuni
tion far such small game.
Mr Hill is a great man, H® savs 1 this
uote of warning is not interded to alarm
men, or even big hoys; hot helpless children
; and old mules had better hi !e out until his
wrath be ovr-'pawtfd" I can inform the
i poblic that I have never been enil'v of
going home from church on the Sabbath
' day and shot'ing up tny children in the
. house, and whipping them so unmercifullv
as to rxcite ihe ind-gnation of every one in
. the neighborhood. N®ith» r would I treat a
mule as he did old "B b Lee."
He 'ays in my "ft vrri®h haste I made a
! broad m stake when I said be con’d find
j shelter nowhere else.” I cat assure the rev
ererd eentk-man that I made no mistake at
j all. I never sent him an urgent request by
Mr S. or anybody else. Io the course of a
conversation with the pretv alluded to h*
referred to Mr. Hill a= having no bom®, and
that be could get none; that he thought
Hill would m <ke a good crop if he had a
fair chance. I told him I was short one
cropper, and if be 'bought H'tl woald suit
roe, to send him up So Me Hill came up,
and agiec-d to do all the work 'hat migh. he
requited of him H® said it seemed that
oohody else wanted him ; and under those
circoms'ances I took him is, but found him
to be the rev- rye of what I expected—he
failing to comply with hie contract io many
instances.
H® eats farther that “on bi« return home
the first man be met asked if be had ren'ed
from McYicker. and on being answered io
the affi mative, that man replied, You will
not stay with biro a month, for tbe very
devil can’t get along with him.’ ” That
•nan’s head was level : for I and the devil
dissolved copartner-hip manv years ago.
Mr. Mill says aga’n that be never had a
controversy wi«h Mr. Read That -Mr
Read only took him through a regular
course for the cure of Radicalism, which
was easily done, for b® never had it bad.”
( Now. Mr. flill most remember that in tell
ing myself and others about it. be said Mr
! Read gave b m the lie seven times in an
artie'e not longer than his finger. If Ridi
calism consists in lying, Mr. Hill »ems to
have suffered a relapse.
He says l “imagine mvself a''isolate
monarch over a territory of 150 acre* of red
hills, a portion of which will barely sp'oot
peas” I woold state for Mr Hill’s infor
mation that my land never failed to sprout
pens until he came on the place. His ehil
dien carried o 3 f<om my hnu-e at least three
bushels to drop between tbe hills ol corn on
(Six aciti of ground, and failed 'o get one
fiftb ot a stand I am inclined to believe
that the peas were boiled before they were
planted.
He says urtber. lam “weeping because
I have no money with wrhicb to buy more
red bills.” I wouid -tute that lam exceed
ingly food of red hill®, hot don't care to
have anymore preacker Hills. As to my
money. I candidly admit that I have not
more iban enough to start a bank, or boy a
railroad ; yet I have always managed to
meet my doctor’s bill®, and o her just obli
gations.
Mr Hill farther states that I have “pur
sued him lor ttie last twelve months with
unrelenting fury; first, by trying to prevent
him from getting a home in tbe neighbor
hood ; secondly, by arraigning him under
false charges before the Quarterlv Coofer
lence of Henry circuit, where be was acquit
ted.” Both statemenis are absolutely false,
as I can prove. The roino'es of the eburvh
will show tbs! Hill was fouod guilty of tbe
charges specified in my bill, and was severely
j reprimanded. I demand ol Mr. Hill to let
tbe publ c know w hat tho®e false charges
were, aod then we will see whether be was
acquitted or found guilty.
As to writing burlesques on his school
house, etc., I cooleas to hive written ‘ Hi!!’*
Coll ge” en the door at the time, but never
anything elre of like character, anywhere
He denies being a “brave man.” I guess
be ha? fergo'tcn that he sad. ia tbe pres*v>ce
of at least fifteen person-, that be aas 'he
\ -only mac that ever lived on my place who
; was cot afraid of me ; yet be wouklo’t whip
me himself, but wouid make bis sou Wesley
thrash me.”
As to tbe dob-axe episode. I can sub
stantiate what I said in my last article by
lespvcsitde witnesses, aod that is enough to
saiis;y tbe public as agaiost tbe simple
stale went of Hill.
My cb klreo did not attend two terms of
Hill s school, as be says. 1 sect them daring
j the first term, and did say they were learning
last. In fact, i starred the an to the sv-c-mj
i term, but be treated one of them wrongfully
aid 1 withdrew my patr< cage.
Again: Hill aays 1 show my lack of
good sense by saying that be prop-sed to
prove bis assertions by named in his
first article. He says "a fool wood know
that be only ref«rr,d io tbetn as getitk-nicD
with whom he was willing to risk bis rep
| atatieo in case any ooe should desir; to
coosuit them. It may be ao easy matter
j for foot io understand each otbtr. but I
tbii b it would be veiy d.fficuit for any
t<ody to understand bis references as be
I gave them

wood sens’ by asking tb°m Jo judge of the
truth or falsity of oor respective statements.
My character is my bulwark, and I do
not fear ibe verdict of the peonle in this
case. A. V. McVickkk.

The Supreme Conrt and the
Wild Land Swindle.
The Supreme Coort has knocked the wild
land swindle endwise The decision in the
ca«e of Johnson v*. Christie, pahlkhed on
! Sunday, emphatically turns the table? upon
| the speculators and leaser them to the un
: comforable r- fl ction that at last it is the
j biter who »eta bit. The decision in qoes
jtioo'woneof vast importance and «hon!d
be understood in all its bearing* by the
\ people of the State. Many efforts were
I made to induce the Lesnslatnre to nullify the
| transactions under transferred wild land fi.
j fas. and considerable indignatioo was upon
the ere of being expressed over its fai'are
j to do so, when this decision came -as a
j poultice to heal the blows of soord.” The
law has now been construed by the highest
court in the State and the decision accords
with the public feeling.
Chief Justice W -ner rendered the deca
k>n of the court. *vL«ck was to the effect that
the transfer? of the tax fi fa« issued aeains'
wild lots of land were illegal from the first.
It will be remembered that Comptroller
General Goldsmith, while holding that the
j transfers could be made, still refused to make
| soch transfers without the opinioa of the
■ proper law officers He referred the ques
tion to the Attorney Gec*-ral, Mt Ely. who
gave the opinion that the fi. fas. were (rant
! ferable. and that it was the du'f of the
Comptroller General to transfer them to
whomsoever paid tie taxes and c a ; med them.
The question of the lawfulness of these trans
! fers arose in ibe impeachment trial of toe
Comptroller General and was there nega
! tived by the Senate upon the article charg
j ing the illegal transfers. Tb? Supreme
1 Court differ? from the opioioo thus famished
jb? the Attorney General.and plainly decides
j that there is no law to author®? such trans
fers by the Comptroller General.
The eff-ot of this deliverance from the
: Supreme bench is to make voidanle. if not
absolutely vo*d all proceedings under these
fi fas after such transfer, such as levy by
* the Sheriff, sales, etc. The speculators who
bought fi. fas. covering hundreds of thou
sand? of acre? ot land and bought them in at
the ?a ! cs, are thus left wi’hout titles or color
of title to the sane. They have been en
acting a grim sort of farce that was fun for
the real owners and a speculation to
tbtse would-be land sharpers. The taxes
hare been paid and the Supreme Court says
that thereby the State became satisfied, but
the payers acquired no claim or title other
i than that wh ch he may have against the
j true owner lor money had and received. The
sales were only empty lor ms Wbat is worse
still for them they had an idea that they
bad a right as bokk-rs of the fi fas. to all
the excess of the sales ever and above the
taxes For this re sot., in ordet to shot out
otbre bidders, many of tnem bid to land? at
figures largely aoove the taxes and co-ls and
the.r real value. W ben they came to cla.®
the excess many Sher Ss refused to pay it
* ever, and rules, like the oee tuvoved in the
above decision, acre brought by the trans
j ferees to recover the mooev. Ibe Supreme
Coart decides that they are not entitled to
Vaw/$--.aaeeag and that it belongs to the
- &iv
transferees are out many thousands of
d' l ar^.
The transferees are in a terrible stew over i
the decision, and are anxious to know whit
they can do. The qo -stion is a pertinent j
one. Certainly they have equities, but to j
wl}al extent and how far they can save j
themselves from lorn are mooted questions. 1
From being land bo’ders of vast propirtions j
some of them have shriveled into m serable
proportions in a day.
Jt is probable that the question will come
up agaiu in the courts in a mote specific
form in erder that a decision may te had
that will define the rights of tbe transferees ;
more particularly than they eio be gathered I
from the decision.
It will be remembered that in December
la«t the Legislature directed the suspension
of all further proceed ngs under these 6 fas
When this deci*i >n was rt’hde-ed a joint
resolution was promptly adopted permitting •
tbe transferees to return all unexecuted fr.
fas and receive back tb»Jr money. This
will he promptly done, and those fi fas
remain in force aga ns' the lards in question.
It now behooves the own-rs of wild lards to
ascertain at once tbe staius of their property
and take the proper steps to protect it.—
