TUB TARIFF.
The tariff reform bill is still worrying
life out of Congress, and with the
filibustering tactics employed ou both
side there is not time before adjourn
uieut to pa*H it. aud President Arthur
threatens if the bill is uut passed to call
i>n extra session, fhe consequences of
a misstep upon this measure loom up
in the minds of the politicians of both
parties as an important factor in the can
vass of 1884. Indeed, it is an elephant
which neither pat tv are anxious to win.
‘ he cfl rts uf our national legislators
are evidently directed to the fluding ot
some way by which they will be able
to hoodwink the common people, and by
granting to the money kings of the

BOOTH BARTOW ITEMS.
Mu. Editor :—Below you will find
a few items from sooth Bartow. News
is very scarce here, and will be so until
the wool season opens. Cotton still
continues to coino in slowly, and guano
is being carried away from here at a
rapid rate. There will without doubt
be more of it used in Jefferson, John
son and Emanuel counties than in any
season in the past ten years. I am
sorry to say that our farmers, or a ma
jority of them, seem to work as if
biindfo'ded. They are so elated at be
ing so successful and making such largo
crops of corn and oats last year, that
they have sown very few oats and are
arranging to plant yery little corn, aud
even that on their poorest land, and are
going in heels over head for ootton, re
serving all their best land for it and ma
nuring heavier than ever before.—
Should there come a drought or a bad
crop year generally (and there is a
pretty good indication of it), they will
be almost hopelessly ruined, deeply iu
debt for guano, supplies, etc., their lands
heavily mortgaged—the result can
readily and plainly be seen. Lawsuits
will be in abundance, homes levied upon
and sold, families on the verge of starv
ation all will be more or less in a more
desperate conditirn than over. There
is only about one-fifth the area
planted in corn this year that was
planted last.
A terrible homicide occurred just off
the line of Jefferson and Emanuel coun
ties a few weeks ago. The victim, Mr.
West, was a young man ot quiet de
nnanor aud habits, and was well thought
of in his community. His murderer’s
name was Williams. The two were at
a log rolling, and some dispute arose as
to whooouldoutlift, and William’s curs
cd West terribly ; We*t called Wil
liams a liar, and stooped down to pick
up something he had dropped, while in
that position Williams dealt him a ter
rible blow with a hand-spike, fractur
ing his skull some 5 or 6 inches; Wil
liams then picked him up in his arms,
carried him to the house and assisted
in reviving him and dressing his wound,
expressing at the time his sorrow and
regret at his deed. His friendB made
him leave, and up to this time has not
been heard of. West lingered for seve
ral days suffering untold agony, when
he died. Strange to say, up to the time
he died no one eould make him believe
that Williams did the dastardly deed.
He dimly believed that auother man
with whom he had been disputing some
time before aud who was present, struck

AM iKtA Post-Appeal.
The editor of this paper has received
a number of the new nickel tive-oent
pieces. The new ooin is certainly the
handsomest in circulation, both in de
sign and workmanship The ‘ head”
aide has a strong side face view of the
Goddess of Liberty, tho word ‘ Liber
ty” appearing on the band resting ou
the brow, and baok of this Yankee tiara
rests a wreath of laurel. The conven
tional thirteen stars surround the head,
and beneath it are tho figures, “1883.”
On the reverse is the letter “V” in the
center, around which are ivy and oak
leaves twined about two circled corn
stalks, on which appear tho grain and
leaves, evidently meant to be etu >]e-
matic of the ever freshness and strength
of the country’s prosperity. On the
upper half of this side, circling
the edge of the coin, are the words,
“United States of America,” the lower
half the coin having the words, “K Flu
ribus Unutn.” running about it. It is
larger but thinner, than the ordinary
niokel, and it will, no doubt, be some
time before the new coin gets into circu
lation in these parts.
