|-W” trading matin on every
Cesthal City Fair Grounds.—Wo
nre indebted to his Honor, W. A. Huff,
Mayor of the city of Macon, for a ride
over the entire grouuds belonging to
the city, which is now being putin order
for tho holding of the next Annual
Fair of tho Stato of Georgia. Tho lo
cation is on the banks of the Ocmul
gee rivet about ono half mile frotu the
passenger depot and on tho line of the
Macon and Augusta H K.
A more appropriate and beautiful
spot can not be found in the State for
the holding of the Annual Fairs, and
we amagino that the Executive Com
mittee will agree with ue after they
have inspected tho grounds, provided
they leave ull their prejudices in favor of
Atlanta at home. We havo never
seen a better and more perfect mile
track on any Fair Grounds North or
South.
Taking a position at any point- of
tho circumference tho spectator can see
every stop taken by the horse or horses
on the track. There is also a beauti
ful half mile track in the park, adjoin
ing the mile track.
The buildings being erected are
placed on firm foundations, and will be
substantial, neat aud sufficiently com
modious to give to all ample and com
fortable accommodations. Tho whole
affair is being gotten up on a gigantic
scale, and no man in Georgia is better
fitted for a leader or director than is
tho live and business man of Macon,
W. A. Huff, in whose hands is this
whole interest.
After going over the grounds with
Col. Huff, all tho places of interest
pointed out to us, wo came to the con
clusion that in the selection of the
grounds, in the laying off of tho tracks,
the locating of the different buildings,
the decorating of the banks of the
river for more than a half mile, in the
whole muko up of tho Central City
Fair Grounds he has damaged Atlanta,
and if she brought suit against him
and wo were on the jury, wo would
decide against him for heavy damages.
There is no comparison whatever in
point of beauty and convenience bo
tween these grouuds aud the grouuds
near Atlanta.

August 21st, 1871. )
Wo, the Jurors selected and sworn
to attend upon the Honorable District
Court of the lltli Senatorial District
for the second quarter of the yoar
1871, commencing the third Monday
in Juno and oiuting this, tho third
Monday in August, our duty as Juroi'fe
ending with this day’s sorvioe, feel it
our duty as citizens and tax payers of
tho county of Terrell, to give as our
honest opinion, founded on our expe
rience us Jurors for tho past throe
months, that said Court, so far as this
Senatorial District is concerned, is en
tirely a useless and unwarrantable ex
penditure of the people’s money and
of no public benefit whatever to the
citizens of said District. We are of
the opinion that said Court was only
creatod for Party purposes, aud to give
curtain individuals who might be in
the favor of his Excellency the Gov
ernor, a ( banco to filth pock
ets of the already tax
payers of this District a comfortable
salary, to be raised by and
for which the people reap no benefits
in return. And while we havo no pnr-
ticular disresjjtct for his Honor the
Judge as a nron, wo fool constrained
to rejrort tUg'Court as unnecessary
and perfectly useless to the people of
this District, 60 far as we are able to
judge, having had before us but one
single case during the three months
we have been attending upon said
Couit. In view of the facts that the
Court vras forced upon us over the
heads and against the earnest appeals
of our State Representatives, we would
respectfully reeotnmend to our Repre
sentative elect to do all in his power at
the next meeting of the Legislature to
abolish said Court so far as relates to
the 11th Senatorial District We fur
ther recommend that this report be
published in the Dawson Jouenax and
all papers friendly to the cause.

Total Receipts from the Income
Tax —The receipts from income for
the fiscal years ending June 30, 1863,
to 1870, inclusive, were as follows :
1863, $2,741,868; 1864, $20,264,-
731; 1865, $32,050,017; 1866, $72,-
082,159; 1867, $66,624,42 6; 1868,
$41*455,598; 1869, $34,791,854 ; 18-
70, $37,775,873. Gross total, $308,-
106,553; amount of income tax refun
ded from 1863 to 1870, $787,250. Net
total, $306,310,272. The estimated
collection of income tor the last fiscal
year ending June 30, 1871, are $25,-
060, but owing to the decision of Com
imseionor Pleasanton in regard to the
collection of two and one half per cent,
on dividends tor the last five months of
1870, it will be impossible to ascertain
the exact amount due from this source
of revenue for some time. In round
numbers the amount collected from in
come since the revenue law wag pass
ed may be 6ct down nt $332,000,000,
CSTThe Ci Juuibua papers talk as
if they were iu earnest about build
ing the Columbus and Albauy Rail
road. Some people very knowingly
assort it to boa hoax.
Dawson is eluted with the idea — re
al estate is looking up —the Journal
has got another “devil,” they are go
ing to have anew jail, soveral new
gates are being swung, etc. W® are
glad of it; will be glad to have such
a live place in tho suburbs of our city.
—Cuthbert Appeal.
Well, “that do Bottle it.” We had
thought that friend Christian had al
ways been joking when he would say
that Dawson was the greatest and
most dosirablo place to live on earth,
but we now believe he was in earnest,
and having traversed the universe iu
search of a place whose social sur
roundings would remind him of bis
stay in Dawson, and finding it not, he
“squats” 20 miles aways and calls up
on his imagination to aid him : Come,
imagination, I would live again in
Dawson, and enjoy the companion
ship of her hospitable people. And
although the new gates that are be
ing swung are barred against me, and
I am far away, incline thou to my
feeling, aud if it’s but for a moment,
lot me forget that I «m in Cuthbert,
for I long to swing on the gates that
are being swung in Dawson.

The above adds the Comptroller
General embraces everything oxcept
the property belonging to the State at
this place (Atlanta) and other locali
ties, embracing the Ponitentiary, the
State’s interest in the Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad, the buildings connected
with the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, tho
Lunatic Asylum and Institution tor
tho Blind, have not been referred to in
this report, for the reason that I rely
upon the gentlemen in charge of these
buildings and institutions who, from
their reflations to the same, are much
more capable of giving reliable infor
mation in reference to tlicm, and who
will, no doubt, in their reports, furnish
your Excellency with all necessary in.
formation connected with their respec
tive charges. As stated in my annual
report for the year 1869, the Tax Col
lectors in nearly every county in the
State failed to aacortuin and report the
true amount of pool tax after deduc
ting necessary expenses collected from
thoir respective counties. I found it
necessary then, and have found it ue
cessary for 1870, where the tax account
has been closed, to make a calculation
in order to ascertain (the net poll tax
collectod from each county, alter de
ducting insolvent list, cormuiesious, er
rors, &c. It is my intention to furn
ish the Treasurer with a tabular state
ment showing tho not amount of poll
tax collected from each couuty in the
Stato for the year 1870, so that he may
separate it from the genaral fund and
set it a part for educational purposes,
in accordance with the Constitution
and of the State, passed iu pur
suance thereof.
Not having space for a recapitula
tion of tho sum total as exhibited in
thejtables under different headings quo
ted above, we append the closing par
agraph of the report touching the finan
cial condition of the State, by which
the tables are prefaced.
It will be seen from the accompany
ing tables taken from returns of 1869
and 1870, that a considerable increase
of taxable proporty is exhibited, and
I feel justified in saying that a pro
portionate increase will appear from
tho returns of 1871. The returns for
1869 show taxable property amounting
to 8.188.813,247. Those for 1870
amount to $210,602,211, showing an
iturease of oxer twenty-one Millions of dol
lar*. It is reasonable to supposo that
a proportionate increase will be exhib
ited for 1871, and that the taxable val
ue of proporty for the present year
will not be far from $240,000,000.
This shows that the people of the State
are in a prosperous condition. That
agriculture, commerce and internal
improvements are in a flourshing con
dition, aud that the taxable wealth of
our Stato, increasing at tho rate of
twenty-one millions of dollars per year
will in a few years, at moderate rates
of taxation, enable the State not only
to meot tho interest on her public in
debtedness, but to pay off the princi
pal and place her in point of wealth,
credit and standing on an equality
with the most favored Stato in the
Union
The Slate Road Invefttignlion.
A majority of our readers have been
aware for a long time that something
has been wrong from the burdeu of
taxation, but whore it went or who
got it no one could confidently say.—
Recent disclosures show that the
thieves have fallen out, and jealousy
coupled with fear is beginning to make
them expose the extreme rottenness of
their corruption. Our space will not
admit of details or evon numbering
the arrests that hate been made. —
Prominont among those accused of
fraud is one N. P. Hotclikins, former
Auditor of the Stato Eoad, the inves
tigation of whoso conduct is published
in all tho Atlanta papers. The fol
lowing from the Atlanta Corslitution
is to tho point, find wc think Vviii not
bo without iutorcit to our readers :
The people of Atlanta havo been
exercised the present woek by a suo
oossion of sensations, that have created
no little excitemout. A homicide at
tempted and another charged, arrests
of State Eoad officers aud citizens, ab
sconding of parties, together with the
stir in political circles over the indica
tions of a chango of base by the Rad
ical organ, have contributed to render
this week quite a lively one. But ev
erything else was comparatively for
gotten, and all interest war concen
trated upon the exposnres being made
of the Radical administration of tho
State Eoad. A short review will be
instructive, for prosent occurrences are
destined to have a marked relation
both with
| TAST AND rUTUJIJt DEYELOmENffS. f
For two years the people of Goorgja
have struggled hopelessly againa
Radical incubus that oppressed them
'sorely and crushed their dnergiml—
The finances of the Statowero bdmg
handled, mismanaged and misappro
priated by unscrupulous Radical of
fice-holders and their corrupt
but the people could only groatpJbo
neatli their buydeus. Tho
■tion and the press of tho Staro as
saulted, denounced and exposed,
two years this has been their un<yws
ing work. But to what did exposuro
amount, when the whole State govern
ment was in the hands of the Radi
cals, with wsom honesty is only the
exception and not the rule.
Governor Bullock’s unwarrantable
and reckless 'manipulation of the
BONDS or THE STATE V
has been continually set forth in the
Cmttibttion fox a year or more past.—
The lavish and outrageous expendi
ture of the people’s money by hun
dreds of thousands, where former Gov
ernors spent only a few thousand, the
enormous waste upon the New Era,
the criminal use of pardoning power,
os shown by figures wjiich wo took
from the records and have made the
circuit of the Uni >n, and the damning
exposures about two months since,
showing where $8,500 of the people’s
money went in a single case, and how
tit millions were- expended in two years ;
all this the press have been thunder
ing. But with all power in Radical
possession, it was feared that rascali
ties could be so covered up that the
evidences of guilt would never be dis
covered. But the prospect brightens.
The existence of
COBKUPT BINGS
for plundering the revenues of tho
fitate Road, a fact all along believed,
has been clearly demonstrated. These
rings were composed both of office
holders and citizens, but tho names of
only a few have yet been ascertained.
The recent investigations have also
clearly developed perhaps the leading
modus operandi, by which the Slate
Road Tioasury has been depleted. It
is known, we believe, as
LOADING A BILL.
That is, where goods have been pur
chased, the bill for the game has been 1
increased fifty or one hundred per cent., I
and wheu paid tho overplus was di
vided among the rings. In this way,
the books anil accounts would appear
entirely regular upon their lace. An
other mode vas by accounts altogeth
er fraudelent, and still another by two
payments for the same bill. Thus
thousands of dollars were stolen, and
doubtless at least
A DALE SHLIION
of dollars wont in the a o various ways,
for boyond all question the profits of:
the Western aud Atlantic Railroad for
the years 1869 and 1870 amounted to
that much. It will bo remembered
that we gave a few months since tho
following as the enormous aggregate
of the expenditures, namely :
For IMB $>.4»,909 00
For ’B7O *3,1(0,371 00
This shows an increase of expendi
ture in 1870 of more than $600,000,
and this is probably about the amount
of the people’s money that has found
its way
INTO PRIVATE POCKETS
This explains how palatial mansions
have been built, and men without in
comes suddenly become rich and dash
about in splendid equipages. When
the Legislature meets, aud appoints its
investigating committees, with the facts
now before us, the whole truth will
probably be ferrettod out. And a glo
liius day for G orgia it will bo, when
the plunderers will be exposed to their
naked iniquity to the scorn and con
demnation of the people they have
robbed: Wo have suffered, but the
day of tribulation is rapidly passing
and tho dawn breaks of the millenial
morn when corruption shall disappear
and the last vestiges of the Radicalism,
which has cursed, and plundered aad
oppressed the Empire Stato of the
South, shall linger only in the stenches
arising from its grave.
The Crop* of 1871.
We reproduce the following from
Salsbury, Respess & Co’s Bulletin, to
show in what esteem our country is
held abroad. The veiws expreesed, 1
we think, are very correct:
“In our last we gave our estimate of
the probable per centago of tho cotton
crop, as compared with that of 1870. j
Macon, and perhaps one or two more
counties may fall below, but a recent
trip through portions of Talbot aud
Taylor, witli information from Upson,
Crawford and other counties, has led
us to believe that the average per cont
ago givon will not bo very far wrong.
The reports of cotton crops in other
States, save Texas and Arkansas,
mako the prospect in Georgia quite up
to the average. Excessive rains, in
the spring, visited all in the cotton
bolt, retarding the growth of the plant
and causing a much longer season
than usual necessary for its maturity.
Estimates now, however, are mostly
very speculative, as the next six weeks
may confirm or disprove our deliber
ate calculations. In Talbot we wore
delighted with the sight of large fields 1
of corn, promising an abundant yield
ofthe staff of life to *Le hard working,
intelligent tmd prudent farmers, and tho
-Ohon in this county, though not so
large as at this time last year, has a
healthy and vigorous appearance.—
Talbot is indoed a noblo county, and
one might travel in vain, from Maino
to Texas seeking an abiding place
more desirable than can be found with
in her linrts.— Standard .

Whereat these repeated and flagrant vio

FOR

Having disposed of all but a remnant of our Grocerie?, we think proper to
nnnounce that wo shall not replenish that branch of our buein ss, as we have
determined to abandon it altogether. This change does not contemplate any
reduction of our business, hut is iouDd necessary to encourage rather than
check the rapid growth of our bus ness in other departments. ° In future wo
shall devote oursolvec exolusively to
DRY GOODS, BOOTS AND SHOES, CLOTIIING,
IUTS, FURNISHING GOODS, AND NOTIONS.
In our Retail Department, we shall offer Dry Goods alone. By Wholesale
we shall offer at all seasons the bast stock in all the enumerated branches to bo
found in this Slate, or South of New York. Wc invito tho attention of Mer
chants to an examination of our stock ol

As wo seldom fail to make good impressions on merchants who know their
