Superior Court In Charl
ton County—Crops, and
other Matters.
Superior court convened in
Charlton county last week, Judge
Ifcrshon presiding,;ahd L;on A.
Wilson acting Solicitor. Attor
n'd present, Blackshear, Messrs.
Nichols & Hitch; Brunswick,
Harris, Atkinson & Atkinson;
Wnycross, McDonald and Wilsor.
Owing to pressing business, we
were unable to attend the first day,
but put in an appearance on the
second and last day. The busine, s
of the court was dispatched with
rapidity, and court was adjourned
on the second day at 2.30, o’clock.
Judge Mershon, in taking leave of
the Grand Jury complimented
tliesn'very highly on the healthy
condition of the county, both fi
nancially andmorally. The peo
ple of Charlton are a wide-awake
and : .progressive class; they live in
a gco.l country 1 ; and fhey knpw it ;"
tticy liave made good crops, and
have peace and: .plenty. -Besides
the regular rotine of forming, they
do considerable business in raising
early vegetables to ship to north
ern markets. Wc notice that Mr.
J. P. Stallings has several acres
of English peas already up, and
several more just planted. Con
siderable business is carried on
in rafting timber down tlio St. Ma
rys river to Ki g’s ferry and other
points, which is quite a source of
revenue to those engaged in the
business. Game is still plentiful
in and around the okefenokee
swamp. A party of hunters was
out two days last week and killed
line deer and feu .'hears. Wild
turkey, mid quail abound on every
hand, besides fish is plentiful in
the streams and arc easily taken—
we know of no better field for the
sportsman than the banks of the
St. Marys river. Wo found the
officers of the county both clover

, Col. Itaybon,
Last week wc took occasion
to make some references to the
letter of Mr. Rnyborn, of Wuvne,
in which wo denied his assertion
that Wnycross was among the
towns in this section that had
jist bankrupt and de
serted beeauseTYittsSty " ivas - "rot
sold here,and some of our friends
think we went too far. Perhaps
we did, but if so, we did it for
the purpose of defending our
section and aiding, ail wo could,
tlio friends of prohibition in At
lanta, against the workings of a
powerful whiskey ring. ■
In order that we may show
that we are not the only ones in
the district who tako exceptions
to Mr. Raybbrn’s letter, we pub
lish the reply of the Baxley
Banner to his charges:
The above letter from Mr-
Rnyborn we ylip from the Con
stitution of the fitli inst. To
our mind Mr. Rnyborn lias done
a very unpatriotic thing by cry
ing down liis county and his
section of the country in order
to help out a whisky ring two
hundred miles away. lie has
misrepresented the Third Sena
torial district and wc feel called
upon to hohl up this letter to
his constituents, and to the peo-
j pie of Appling, Wayne *und
'Ware, that they may judge as
to tlio truth of liis statements.
He says one-third of our
store houses are closed. This
is not true. There is more cap
ital invested, in the mercantile
business now than ever before
iii the history of Baxley. Ho
says real estate is worth little or
nothing. VThis i« not true. Real
estate in Baxley has advanced
one hundred per cent, since lo
cal ' option has been in force.
We do not claim that local op
tion jigs done all this, but it lias
helped. He says laborers have
sought other homes. True,
somo have gone to other places,
but two come where one goes.
There arc in Appling coun’v
seven large saw-mills and about
fortv turpentine stills which re
quire a great many laborers. He
says capital. has sought other
towns. Perhaps a -few whisky
meqjiavc gone to other places,
but we freely give them up.
Wc regard tho entire letter ns
an unjust rtfloetion upon our
county and people, and Mr. Ray-
born \rill be tired of this matter
before ho is dono with it, and
our people will not- soon, forget
tnis one act of his patriotism.
We learni that the citizens of
Wavcross and Blackshear have
denied iu the most emphatic
ivay the assertions made so fajj
alsd.lp them.—
Yes, Tom, I was thar, certain,
an’ I seed you tliar; Massy Wil

Tom Layneer; dear Tommie—
I squut down side o’ this box tu
rite you a fuw linos fur the
paper, hopin’, these few lines
may.fine you in the same kon-
disbun. I obsarved sum time
since eumtliin about Willie

game keep post oifiis. I hearn
that lie wus gwine away, so I
sez, now’s my time. Bill Bowloe
—oh, beg parding—Goodloe—
told me to set down in a cheer,
an’ he’d fix mo up in a short
order. So, down 1 sot, in front
gs,.an then Bill Bowlegs; tliar
it is uganc—Goodloe, ment to
say'went round behind the 3
legged consarn an peeped at me
an giggled, an I didont like no
sich doings, knse 1 beam that
them picter konsarns turns
folks topsy-turvy ail I told him
tu mind liis biziness, and then
he kivored his hed up with a
peace of kaliker an peeped
agano an giggled ngaue. Iknode
lie was making fun of me, sol
sez.sed I: ‘-Bill, you Goodlo-for-
liuthin galoot, of you cum tu
make fun ov me behind my
back tu my face behind that
three-legged consarn, I’ll smash
you and \our tent into kingdum
cum in foyr minits.” When I
sed them scutymeuts an he
seed I ment wliat I sed he flew
all all around nil had my picters
done up in quick order, right
away. The picters is nice, so is
Bill Go-below—tliar tis agane,
when lie has a good face to maik
specimens of buty frum, as he
had in this kasb, an’ we all (me
and the picters) reficcks credic
on his koiisvqutionul ability.
Bill didn’t charge nutliin, but
he wanted tu kiss mo, but 1 sed
“Man of picture, I wan’t none o'
vorc S.-.S3,
You can’t cum that, if I is a koun
try lass.”
An then he got sorry like, an'
putting his hurt on liis hau, sed:
“Sara-Ann Higgins, wharsumever
‘.you go,
Woh’t you think kindly of Billv
■Goodloc.”
Bill's a little' man an' most,
been pulled fore lie got grown.
An’ now, with yore purmish-
un, >f you give it, au’ ’thout bit
ef you don’t, 1’1 resume, as de-
con Skiuuer sez, and so forth,
au’so.
When I wus gittiu’ readdy tu
leave town an’go to Charltin tu
see sum o’ my ole frens I had
a kouversashun with Officer
Watsiug, what'guards the depo,
an’ he may feel kinder grieved
like, yu kuo. I sed sum hard
things to him but 1 freely fur-
give him, as decon Skinner sez.
X sot down on the dorc steps of
the depo tn wait fur the trane
when Officer Watsiug cum up
tu me .an'sed, sed he, as he
stuck bis chip out one way an’
jerked his jaw tother: “You
gwine tu hanker roan’ here till
you git a chance to take a trane,
ain’t you, 1 ’" an’ he looked: all
fd like ho thort 1 had tbofc
I,'as 1 biled up
I’m a bon
janes
’pintment?” he axed.
“What you uiene. man; du yu
kno who you taulking tu.'au’ I
don’t make’pintments, but goes
and does what 1 ’spects tu ’com-
plish.”
“Beg patding mam, but whar
is yon gwine?” he axed agauc.
“Down tu Charltuu tu see Mr.
Chase.”
“A\ihat! si. Frank Chase?”
“lucourse,” sed I “that’s him,
kase I kno him kase he parts
lus name in the middle. 1 like
Franky.”
“You gwine tu git off at Race
pond?” axed Officer Watsing
“No, sur; I had ’nuff swamps
an’ rivers lately. I ruther go
to dry lan’sumwliar,” I sed.
“Maybe you’ll stop at Spauish
creek?” he sed.
“Spanish thunder,” sez I; “I
jist ljow tole you 1 wus huntin’
dry lan’. I’m tired of yore
ponds ani creeks, an ct that’s
all they.jjptdown thar, I’ll liev
Uremiatige mi course.”
And so,"I went over tu ther B.
& W. R. R: an shipped mysef tu
see Bill Parker up at Pearsing,
but went tu sleep an furgot tu
wake up till I got tu Albany,
whar I met Bob Wick, of the
Mcjium, and spent a few days
very plcssantly, au then I cum
home.
Tom Layneer—I hearn that
