ti ii * •*! to tin* Present Times.
Thinking a brief respite from the
monotony of a dull town would be both
healthful and pleasant, your correspon
dent planned and executed, during the
present week, a visit to Mr David Dick
son, of Hancock county, Georgia.
Mr. Dickson has long been CQagider
ed the first plan er in the South. He
has won his way to that proud distinc
tion, not by long spun theories, peddled
out in journals and reviews, but by the
demonstra inn of practical sueees,
which ia, after all, the true test of mer
it.
Mr. Dickson is a remarkable man,
considered from almost any point of
view His i hjsical organization is tex
turall fine His appearance is stri
ing and commanding. He would arrest
t e eye in any ssemblac of men
He has the bread, honest, intellectual
face of the genuine Anglo-Saxon, of
which race he comes. His cast of mind
is hardy and practical, as is evinced by
the great prominence of the perceptive
organs. He is, eminently, a man of af
fairs, viewing all questions in the light
of reason and common sense.
Mr. Dickson is one of the few plan
ters of the South who has kept up the
large farming operations of ante-bel um
days ; and notwithstanding the stringen
cy of the times and recent seasons of
drouth, has managed to make money
on every crop he has ever crown, with
the single exception of the present year.
His entire farm, covering an area of
20,000 acres, presents everywhere the
appearance of thrift and enterprise, in
striking contrast to the dilapidated and
effete plantations contiguous to it. His
fences appear in good repair ; neat and
commodious cabins dot his place from
centre to circumference. Water gins
and saw mills of the most approved pat
tern are whirled by every stream that
waters his domains Ponds (five in
number), abounding with fish and con
structed at a total cost of $30,000, up
turn tt.eir silvery faces from between
the hills, and in the expressive langu
age of Byron, “Warm up wi'h their
stillness, to forsake earth’s troubled
waters for a purer spring.” All of
these objects, combining the useful and
beautiful, render a ride through Mr.
Dickson’s farm a most delightful and ;
intereßting pastime. Your correspon
dent had the pleasure of this jaunt in
company with the proprietor and took
advantage of the time and occasion
to ply him with the following interoga
tories:
“Mr. Dickson, you are the only plan
ter in the State who has farmed on an
extensive scale that has managed to
keep up What do you attribute your
success to V*
“Well, I don’t know, unless it is :o
financiering. I make calculations and
steer clear of what don’t pay.”
“Do you expect to make large gains
now as you did years ago V'
“Oh, no. It is out of the question
for a farmer to make monev now on
hired labor. There is too little margin
between the price of labor and the j irice
of the products of that labor. The
price of labor and the other necessary
expenses aggregate, in most instances,
more than the entire product of hat la
bor will bring. I expect to get my
rents.”
“What is your plan of renting?”
“Well, I furnish the land, the agri
cultural implements, the horse and its
feed, together with two-thirds of the
guano. The renter furnishes the labor
and feeds it, and one-third of the gu
ano. At the end of the year I take
two-thirds of all the crops, and give
the laborer one-third. In other words,
I rate the land at one-third, the horse
and its feed and the agricultural im
plements, blacksmithing, <fcc., at one
third, the labor at one-third; and rent
upon this principle. I think this is
the fairest system of renting that can
be devised.
“Who gathers the crop?”
“Of course the laborer does the
gathering. I calculate that in as part
of the labor. One of my hands not
not long ago gathered his third of
the corn and left my two-thirds stand
ing in the field. At the end f tin
year, he came back to rent again. I
told him no, he had dug his own
grave. Yea, sir, the laborer must
perform the whole of his contract,
which includes the making and gath
ering of tho entire crop.”
“What is the plan yon would advise
tho farmers to pursue another year?”
“In the first plaoe I would advise
them to increase the capacity of their
lands. Rich land is the best laborsac
ing machine I know of for the present
generation and for prosperity. Second,
Pay the laborer, if he hires for wages,
in the products of the land, then lie
shares with you tin loss occasioned by
low prices ”
“What is a hand worth another
year 1”
“The way to estimate that is to cal
culate what an average hand will make
three bales of cotton, fifty bushels of
corn and three thousand ponnds of oats.
Now, take the third of that and yon
have what an average hand is worth.”
“How is it you can get so much work
out of your hands ? ! notice you culti
vate more land to he plow, and do it
better than anybody else ? ’
“Well, in the first place, 1 tr v to get
willing but active hands. I then take
especial pains to train them to be ex
perts— odo everything in the shortest,
the best, the easiest and the most effica
cious • ay. Why, there is skill in
farming as there is in everything else.
Before the war when I made a special y
of it, my Lands cut with more facility,
plowed with more accuracy, hoed more
rapidly and picked more cotton than
any hands I ever saw. I trained them
to do everything the right wav and on
scientific principles. Of course I can’t
manage tree labor so efficiently, but
you can still see some signs of my old
■kethods.’’
I “How is it you make so much more
to the plow than anybody else ?”
“Well, if that i v, I attribute it to
two causes: First, I cultivate more
land to the plow ; my system of shal
low eul.ure, with broad sweeps, allows
that. Second, my methods of cultiva
tion end preparation are, I thin*, thor
ougly scientific. I break my lands
deep and cultivate them on the sur
face. In other words, my motto is
deep plowing after planting.”
“But will not the lands get too hard
to cultivate them shallow after the pack
ing rains of the Spring V’
“Oh, no ; not if you will keep a plen
ty of vegetable mould in them. Rotate
the crops and I will warrant they will
never get too hard.”
“How do you manage to control la
bor—l notice every hand seems to know
his place and everything moves on
smootlilv and harmoniously ?”
“Well, I don’t know as to that. A
great deal is owing to what I call tact
I convince the laborer that I un *erstand
farming better than he does, and that
my wav is right I never neglected
him, so as to leave the impression on
his mind that I am indifferent or care
less. I give him justice and demand
my rights at his hands.”
But time will not permit a further
enumeration of Mr Dickson s views

in the tersest, most original way. Asa

A New Yhirk letter says : “I met

ing down Nassau JJank. The old gen-
tlonian expresses the conviction that
there is to be a bigger breeze on the
silver dollar question, when t ongress
meets, than the hanks and the clearing

He talks with some of the Republican
leaders and journals to enter upon th.
next Presidential campaign by inflam
ing the Northern mind with reported
outrages on the colored population of
the South. He thinks Mr. Coqkl ng
and his friends have agreed upon that as
their programme, but trusts something
will happen to upset it. He does not
like Gen Grint, but if compelled to
choose between the two—that is, if he
were a Republican and a lover of peace
—he would rather have him than Conk
ling. He is of the opinion, however,
that the country will have no occasion
for the services of either, as the succes
sor of Mr. Hayes, notwithstanding the
adverse symptoms afforded by the re
cent elections, is morally certain to be
a Democrat, and then everything will
be union and harmony.”

A KENTUCKY War.
A Reign of Bloody lawlessness
In Breathitt County—The I-aw
OlHeers Defied—Several Persons
Killed and Wounded.
Lexington, Ky., Nov. 30-—Jack
son, the county scat of Breathitt coun
ty, distant about ninety miles from Ml
Sterling, has been the scene of a serious
outbreak and bloodshed during the
past week. The place has a bad repu
tation for lawlessness, and it is not a
great while since a uetachment of the
State Gnard was required to preserve
order. The present trouble results
from a collision between two rival bands
of outlaws—one under Capt. Bill Strong,
of Home Guard fame, and the other
under Jack Aikeman. The Strong
purty took possession of the town, com
mitting many acts of lawlessness, and,
getting reckless from drink during the
afternoon, the Aikeman party, twelve
or fifteen strong, rode into 'hetown and
made an attack on the Strongs. Thir
iy or forty shots were exch inged, two
taking effect on William and Daniel
Freeman. The former was shot through
ihe body, and the after through the
head. They were removed late in the
evening to their homes, several miles
up the river. Daniel Freeman is recov
ering, but William is dead. Strong
and his followers received no injuries,
but barricaded themselves in a little log i
cabin about one hundred van Is from the ;
court house, where they bodpreviou- y
stacked their arms. Aikt-.uau and par
ty sought siiel or in flic court house,
and a regular interchange of shots was
kept up during the wh le afternoon.
One of the Freemans who fell in the
middle of the street when shot, was
forced to lie here for two hours, his
friend * fearing to attempt his removal.
During this strife hideous yells and
shouts of defiance could be heard from
both parties. Next morning, Tuesday,
it was discovered that Aikeuian and his
i arty had withdrawn from the court
house and quartered themselves near
the river bank, while Strong and his
clan held their fort untaken. About
ten o'clock Strong retired, and soon
thereafter straggling, drunken, well
armed men began t< • parade the streets,
in defiance of aw and order. It was
soon whispered that the guard which
had been sent to Lexington, under the
charge of the Sheriff, to bring back Ja
son Little, charged with wife murder,
would soon return and an effort would
be made to release prisoner. A
willing leader was found in a Justice of
the Peace, J. C. Allan, and the party,
numbering about forty, loitered about
the streets, impatiently waiting for the
guard to appear. Judge Randall, to !
defea the aim of the mob, had the
Deputy Sheriff and County Judge detail
an ex' ra guard of fifteen men, who went
under the leadership of the County
Judge, John W Burnett. About 3p.
m. they returned with the prisoner and
safely confined him in jail, the guard
numbering about twenty-five well-arm
ed men. No effort at release was made,
but immediately after the squad return
ed from .lie jail to the street and began
10 disperse Crawford and Little began
an attack on Judge Burnett, threaten
ing to t ake his ife. The excitement began
to run high Yell after yell rent the
air, and suddenly a volley was poured
in on the guard, who, ta!.en by surprise,
sought shelter at every quarter. Dur
ing the discharge of this volley Judge
Burnett was shot in the heart and in
stantly killed Then a constant fire
was begun, and was continued during
the whole of the evening. The (.yells
were kept up by the mob as it gained
an advantageous point. Allen and his
men, being in the court house yard,
sought s selter in the Clerk’s office and
in the court room, while the guard re
treated up the street to the point where
Strong and his clan were barricaded.
The forces now numbered some thirty
or forty on each side. The men were
all well armed with the latest improved
Colt’s navy repeating revolvers and
Spencer's rifles, and, being good shots,
could kill their men, from one to two
hundred yards, wberecver they might
appear. During the picket shooting a
posse of Allen’s clan, with axes, at
tempted to burst open the jail door and
rescue the prisoner. At this point,
Tom Little of Campton, a brother of
Jason Little, appeared upon the scene
of the conflict and made an effort to quell
the riot, but was suddenly shot through
the body, which caused the jail-breakers
to desist. The Allen party deserted
die oOurt house last night, and the
Sheriff and posse took possession, thus
commanding the door to the jai\ No
court has been held in the Circuit Court.
The Judge suddenly disappeared this
morning before seven o’clock, leaving
no orders as to the disposition of the
prisoner. Little. A guard was detailed

was by the side of his sweetheart, who
died one year ago. The ladies and cit
izens who came to town to attend the
funcial have beaten a hasty retreat.
The latest news from Breathitt is in a
special to the Lexington Press , dated
Mt. 8 tiling,November 30, whVi states
that Jaekson is still in the posses
sion of the mob, but that the champions
of the law are in possession of the court
house and jail Picket firing is kept
up, and many citizens have been killed
and wounded. No action has yet been
taken bv the Governor
Tom Potter’s Shooting.
They had been talking about the re
markable performance of Dr. t'arver
the mar sman who shoots with a rifle
g a s balls which are sent into the air
as fast as a man can throw them. Pres
ently, Abner Bying, who was sitting
by, said:
“Tha 1 ’s nothing ”
“What is nothing?”
“Why, that shooting. Did you ever
know Tom Potter
“No ’
“Well, Potter was the best hand with
a rifle I ever saw ; beat that man Car
ver all hollow. I’ll tell what I’ve
seen Potter do. You know, may be,
a long here in the cherry season, Mrs.
Potter would want some cherries to
pr serve : so Tom’d pick ’em for her,
and how do you think he’d stone ’em ?
“I don t know. How V'
“Why, he’d fill his gun with bird
shot, and get a boy to drop a half
bushel of cherries at one time from the
roof of toe house. As they came down
he’d fire, and take the stone clean out
every eherry in the lot. It’s a positive
| fact. He might occasionally miss one
! cherry, maybe, but not often But lie
diu bigger shooting than that when he
wanted to. ”
“What did he do?”
“Why, Jim Miller—did you know
1 him? No. Well, Tom made a bet
j once with Jim that he could shoot the
buttons off of his own coat tail by aim
( ing in the opposi'e direction, and Jim
Miller took him up. ’
“Did he do it ?”
“Do it! He fixed himself in’position,
and aimed at a tree in front of him.—
The ball hit the tree, caromed, hit the
corner of the house, caromed, struck a
lamp post, caromed, and flew behind
Tom, and nipped the button of as slick
as a whistle. You bet he did it.’’
“That was fine shooting.”
“Yes, but I’ve seen Tom Potter beat
it. I’ve seen him stand under a flock
of wild pigeons, billions of them com
ing like the wind, and kill ’em so fast
that the front of the fllock never passed
a given line, but turned over and fell
down, so that it looked like a brown
and fethery Niagria. Tom did it by
having twenty-three breach-loading
rifles and a boy to load ’em. He al
ways shot with that kind.
“You say you saw him do this sort
of shooting 1”
“Yes, sir; and better than that too.
Why, I’ll tell you what I've seen Tom
Potter do. I saw him once set up an
India rubber target at a three-hundred
feet and hit the bull’s eye twenty-seven
times a minute with the same ball lie
He would hit the target, the ball would
bounce back right, into the rifle barrel
just as Tom had clapped on a fresh
charge of powder, and so he kept her a
going backward and forward until at
last he happened to move his gun and
the bullet missed the niuzz’e of the
burrel. It was the biggest thing I ev
er saw ; the very biggest—except one?’’
“What was that 1”
“Why one day I waS out with him
when he was practicing, and it came on
to rain Tom didn't want to get wet, and
we had no umbrella, and what do you
thiak he did ?”
“ A’hat ?”
“Now what do you think that man did
to keep dry V’
“I can’t imagine.”
“Well, sir, he got me to load his
weapons for him, and I pledge you my
word, although it began to rain hard,
he hit every drop that caino down, so
that the ground for about eight feet
around us was dry as punk. It was
beautiful, sir, beautiful.”
And then the company rose up slow
ly and passed out, one by one, each man
eyeing Abner, and looking solemn as
lie went by ; and when they had gone
Abner looked queerly for a moment,
and said to me:
“There’s nothing I hate so much as
a liar. Give me a man who is the
friend of the solid truth and I’ll tie to
him —Afaor Adder.

LIVER PILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatui-., or Liver Complaint,
DYaIEK- IA AND SICE UEADAfUIT.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
PAIN in the right side, under the
edge 01 iho ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left vide ; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder biade, and it
frequently ; tends to the top of the
shoulder, rind is sometimes mistaken
for rheuir.aus.in in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe
tite and ri< A ness; the hovveis in gen
eral are cosine, sometimes alternative
with lax; . r head is troubled with
pain, acconqianied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the liack part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with a painful sen
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have l>een done.
A slight, dty cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
weariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa
tion of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer
cise would le beneficial to him, yet
he can scatcc-ly summon up fortitude
enough to tr it. In foot, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of tfce above
symptoms alt i .l the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex
isted, yet e lamination of the body,
after death, has shown the uvlr to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE \ND FEVER.
Dr. C. M. I sne’s Liver Ptli.s, in
cases of At is and Fevrk, when
taken with Qcir.iae, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be 9ed, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with tins
disease to gri e them a ram trial.
For all bilious derangements, and as
a simple \ e, they are unequaled.
