more about it.
1’ltOIIIIIITION.
Wo,silting hack in the sanctum of
Tile Citizen, looking on the com
bat between tlie partisans of the
wet and dry question, are not dis
posed to take in any great amount
of excitemnt either for one side or
the other at present. Indeed, with
86 counties dry and 51 wet, it seems
to be foregone that the state will go
dry in due course of timo whether
we like itor not; therefore, it would
seem that we had better fall on the
side of the majority, arid when the
state lias run “plumb dry” do like
the fellow who jumped out of the
loft after his wife had killed tlie
bear, and exclaimed: “Nancy
ain’t we some pumpkins?” But
The Citizen cannot afford to take
too pronounced a position until we
find out how the parties are going
to act when the people’s turn comes
to express themselves in the mat
ter. The fact is, both sides can say
a great deatto justify tlie part they
act. While liquor is a great curse,
as all must admit, its long toler
ance has induced many good citizens
to invest property rights in the sale
ofittosuch an extent that it will
amount to injustice to deprive them
suddenly of their rights in the
sale at one blow. It is reasonable
to expect that the liquor seller will
defend his rights as far as he can.—
This is perfectly natural with us all
when we think our rights are inva
ded. Therefore, the good and true
prohibitionist must not go into ex
tremes because the dealer asserts
what is a very natural act. In this
great and free country every man
has a right to think for himself, and
we ought to tolerate the opinions of
others,and combat them only with
fair and legitimate argument. The
prohibitionists have undertaken a
great work. Their purpose is un
doubtedly to benefit the fallen, and
help to work out the destiny of the
human race, tending always to a
high moral state for man. Clod
speed them, if they can steer clear
of intolerance and fanaticism. No
man, nor set of men, has a right to
sit in judgment on the rights of
others as self-constituted judges,
blit they do have the inherent
right to appeal to the law, and stand
or fall by it without bitterness or
intolerance in trying to effect a
public good. When the appeal is
made, whichever side looses should
submit gracefully to the abitranient,
and then lend its aid to uphold tlie
law. That makes, above all things,
the best test of a good citizen.—
Nothing could have been more
timely and proper than tlie appeal
of the Atlanta Constitution to tlie
people of that city to submit to tlie
majority, and with a good grace
unite for tlie good of Atlanta in
carrying out the law after the bat
tle had been fought and won over
the liquor question.
The greatest bitterness was en
gendered, as all might Imye fore
told, involving almost tlie whole
state, and exciting tlie interest of
communities far removed from the
state. The prohibitionists won by
H16 majority. It was a small victo
ry, but in our great country, where
the majority is king, and there is
no other sovereign, ONE vote
majority was enough if fairly ob
tained. Those anti-prohibitionists
who sulk and nurse their wrath are
not benefiting Atlanta. They are on
ly crystalizing the forces against
them in everlasting enmity which
will result in detriment to them
and, we apprehend, to their great
city. It is just about time for us
to take the lesson, and to see that
the contest in our county, when
made, can be made with less bitter
ness, although equally determined.
There is no sense in intolerance and
fanatics are imps of Satan, in.
whorh lie takes the most delight.—
Let us steer clear of both if called
upon, sooner or later, to express the
will of the people upon this most
vital question. The dignity of the
county demands it, and The Citi
zen is with all people in the great
f iurpose, end and aim of republican
nstitutions; that is that the people
shall peaceably control the people’s
affairs
L’ovimun lotted.
Mil. Editor:—As I don’t write often I will
bother you n little. I have Just returned from
an extended trip through Richmond mid
Ilurke counties. I hml a companion that was
well posted with tho country. Wo pasted
farm after farm, and It appoars as If a plenty
and to spare was made. We dined at 1 o’clock
on the hank of a beautiful crook, for which
Ilurke county is noted for; and after dinner,
wo drove down by Girard, a beautiful place,
largo school and a ful. store kept by Mr. H. H.
lluxton * Co., thence to Mr. G. W. Holland’s
plantation, and after chatting him u little we
slipped out and drove up to that well known
and comfortable dwolllng, owned by Col. T.
J. Dixon. He was all smiles, and was very
glad to got tho chunco to entertain two weary
travelers. Supper was soon announced, (our
names wero not put In the pot) hut we had a
plenty and some left. We rested Saturday.
Sunday wo traveled over l’otlloker district.
This section Is about half way between Gi
rard and Mobley’s l’ond, about four or live
miles from either, nnd near the river. I was
reading sometlmu ago something about a
railroad from Waynesboro to Stony Bluff.—
That Is a beautiful country, and lies tolerably
level. It would cost only a small amount to
complete It, and, thereby, get for tlie ’Boro a
heavy trade, as It Is so far to Augusta by pri
vate conveyance, or by river. Wo would like
to hour from you again about the railroad.—
The people are poor, hut are willing to do
what they can towards It. If, at uny time,
you should pass out that way, enquire for Col.
T. J. Dixon, and he will give you about nil
tho Information you need. 1 will write you
again, If you des’ru, and let you hear from
me about all tho nows Ac.
Yours truly,

thought it prudent to put otr the trial till
next court, to give time to gather tlie evi
dence. That evidence bus been found, posi
tive and strong, which confirms all the sus
picions had against Garvin. On last Friday
evening, -7th of November, the body of
IlunUerson was found by lledney Thornton,
colored, who was puddling up the Savannah
river from Point Comfort, on the Carolina
side, in a batteau. As Thornton rounded the
Point, a curve In the river between Point
Comfort and Ilalns’Gut,ho observed buzzards
sitting in the tree tops, and paddling his boat
up to them he discovered tho arm and leg of
a man abovo,the water on a drift in the river,
which the falling water had loft aground.—
He proceeded toDoineres’ Ferry, In this coun
ty, and gave the alarm. Several negroes took
a boat and went for the body t > the ferry
which proved to he that of Hankerson, when
a jury was summoned and nil inquest held
next day (last Saturday) as stated In our last
Issue.
When found, tho body was lying on a lot of
brush, and had evidently been thrown Into
the river during the late rise of water, and
had floated away. The body had a new osna-
burg sack tied over tho head, his hands cros
sed and tied with a strong cord near tho size
of a man’s little linger, and drawn up and
tied around Ills neck; a trace chain was
around his body, to which was fastened a
window weight, which, together with the
chain weighed seventeen pounds. Tho dead
man had been shot In the back of the head
with a load of slugs, making a hole that
would admit the Insertion of two fingers of a
man; the skull was crushed In front with
some blunt Instrument, the right eyo knock
ed out, and the nasal bone crushed. It was
a horrible sight to behold, but tho body was
easily recognized as that of William Hank
erson. The man had been murdered, and
the body thrown Into the river, nnd happen
ed to fall upon a pile of brush which floated
away, nnd was left exposed by the falling
water. Hud tho body happened to have fal
len on a clear bottom, It Is possible that the
murder would forever have remained a mys
tery.
J. K. Thomas, Justleo of tho pence In the
With district, summoned the following named
gentlemen ns a Jury of inquest, nnd proceed
ed to Investigate the ease: T.YB. Cox, fore
man, Sieve Miller, Willie Smith, John T. Cox,
W. W. Tomlin, N. Dclaigle, Dawson McC'lcl-
an, K. W. Daniel, L. E. .Tones, A. A. Prescott,
J. M.‘Rogers and M. M. Tomlin.
The following testimony was beforo tho
Jury of inquest.
Henry Walker, colored, sworn: Identified
the sack as the property of William Hanker-
son, positively; It Is William Hankerson ly
ing before me. He also identified the shoes
and coat, as Hankerson’s, and tho blowing
horn on him as Hankerson’s.
Rose McCoy, colored, sworn: Identified
the body as that of William Hankerson; tlie
horn around his neck ns the property of the
(lend man, also his coat. •
John Grubbs, colored, sworn: Identified
the body of the dead man ns that of William
Hankerson; also the coat, horn and shoes as
belonging to him.
Bednoy Thornton, colored, sworn: Ills
home Is in Georgia. Ho was coining from
Point Horn fort, and discovered buzzards
around the point on a treo top; paddled up to
seo what they were after; found it to be the
body of n man, which I identified as this body.
I found It on tlie Georgia side, between Hnins
Gut and opposite Point Comfort. I came to
Demeres’ Ferry, landed and let It be known to
the people—was by myself when I found the
body. Went back with Tom Mlllcdge, Joe
Hankerson, Ed. Williams, Aaron Brooks,
Charley Walker, Phil. Wilson and Davy
Scott to bring tho body up. We found tlie
left leg of the body under the brush, his right
leg over the brush, Ills face towards Carolina,
his head tied up In a bag, his hands tied
around his neck, around his body was a pair
ol chains wound around his body, and a heavy
piece of Iron about two feet long weighing 10
or 12 pounds, and 1‘j Inches square attached
to the ehn n.
Joe Hankerson, colored, sworn: When this
man lledney told me, I went back with him
to where hu said the body was found, and
with others help put It in the boat, and
brought It to Demeres’ Ferry, where it now
lies. I swear to the body as that of William
Hankerson, and also to tills coat. I can’t
swear positively to the piece of iron around
his body, but saw a piece like It In William
Garvin’s house.
Ed. Williams,colored,sworn: I swear that
lids Is the body thut we brought out of tho
river between Halns’ Gut and Point Comfort,
also the irons on him; Just us wo found him.
His head was tied up In a sack, and his hands
tied up to Ids neck.
Tom Mllledgs,colored, sworn: I went with
the party down the river to get tho body. This
is the body I brought up, and testify that
it Is William Hankorson’s. The Iron and
chains are tho same, and were on him when
brought up the river.
Harry Walker testified that ho had seon
the Iron, or one like It in William Garvin's
house, used as a fire-dog. I saw a pair Just
like It In Garvin’s house tho last of October or
the first of November.
Simon Hankerson, colored, sworn: I saw
two Irons Just like this one in William Gar
vin’s yard.
Dr. William D’Antlgnac sworn: Itlsiny
opinion that the man caino to his death by a
gun shot wound In the roar of head, assisted
by a blow In front which also fractured Ills
skull In front, putting out one eye and break
ing the nasal bone.

AND THE POWER THEREOF,
D IRECTED by a long experience In the Dry Goods Trade, has enabled me to outstrip all
former efforts In buying iny Fall and Winter Stock of Dry Goods, and I ask the pur
chasing public of Waynesboro anil surrounding country to examine my Stock and prices
before purchasing elsewhere, for I think that In so doing they will consult their own Inter
est. Having just returned from New Y’ork where the market was flooded with goods, and
all trying to get the mighty dollar, and having that article with me, it enabled me to got a
larger discount, and that discount I propose to give to my customers. These facts are
worthy the consideration of all persons buying dry goods. It is useless to try to enumerate
Goods and Prices; the different Departments named are all full and complete. Ladles’
Dress Goods of all kinds and prices, Cloaks, Dolmans, Jerseys for Lad It s and Children, new
shades of Jersey Cloth for Children’s Sacks. In Ladies’ am Misses’Hose, all kinds. A full
line of Brussels and Plain Velvets and Velveteens, Satins, Black and Colored Silks, Ac.
(Trents’ 13 epartment.
I only ask you to look and Iudgo for yourself. If I should commence to name every
thing I might say too much. Notions of all kinds, Blankets and Flannels of all grades.
Table Damasks, Towels, and, in fact, everything to be found In a First-class Dry Goods store,.
I warrant everything 1 sell to be what II Is recommended to lie. Polite attention to all,
whether they purchase or not. Mourning Goods 1 make a specialty. Dutch Bolting Cloths.
