Meeting or the ( lull—Tint Itnskct Dinner, uinl tlie
I'sujiI Debate.
Tliomembersassembled at Item
don, citch one bringing bis basket
,,f lunch, which was turned over to
dm ladies, who kindly came out to
superintend the management of
eatables.
The meeting was held in one or
die new stores of Judge J. 15. Jones,
which he kindly tendered the club
for the occasion.
Mr. C. T. licit was elected chair
man. Mr. G. W. Jones, secretary,
read the minutes of the last meet
ing and announced the following
subject for discussion : “What price
can we afford to pay for labor to
make our farms remunerative at
Hie present price of farm products.”
Mr. K. II. Burton, who was ap
pointed to begin the discussion, ad
vanced the following ideas: lie
did not believe that money encour
aged the negro to extra efforts, but
found hands, when he rationed and
paid $’> to ipi per month, worked as
well us those receiving $10 per
month with rations.
Mr. it. A. Law: “Can you get
laborers at five and six dollars a
month ? ”
Mr. Burton: “I have seen first-
class hands working for that
amount.”
Mr. B. A. Jones: “You who*arc liv
ing away from saw-mills and rail
roads may lie able to get hands at
that price, but we who are sur
rounded by these are compelled to
pay higher wages.”
Mr. Burton: “You are doubtless
correct, but I can get all the labor I
need at prices named.”
A member: “You give outside
patches when you pay such wages,
do you not?”
Mr. Burton: “To some I do.”
Member: “Do you not find that
these outside patches make more
c )tton than the regular crops and
are an inducement for thinning?”
Mr. Burton: “I don’t think the
negro needs any inducement in
that direction, and have never
found any extra trouble from these
patches. I believe the most profit
able way of working the negro is to
crop with him. Landlord to fur
nish mule and feed the same, land
and implements for working crops,
and half of manures; negro to fur
nish labor and half of manures, re
ceiving half of crops.”
Mr. I*. S. Jones said the only way
to manage the negro is to pay him
good wages and make him work.
As to renting, (Ate has simply to see
the wrecked and delapidated con
dition of farms thus managed, to be
convinced ot the failure of this sys
tem. It is a shame for owners to
leave their homes to negroes—they
should return to their plantations,
cultivate and improve them by
their personal attention and super
vision. When cropping with tire
negro, I always have trouble in the
division and find them hard to sat-
isly.
Mr. F. S. Jones’ remarks were:
“I have really little experience in
farming. I know, however, I stood
tit the desk for seven years and paid
out 50 cents a day for first-class men
hands, they to feed themselves, and
am sure it was a loosing business
all the time. I remember once ask
ing father the value of the negro
per day in the cultivation of corn
and cotton—his reply was, ‘that 25
cents per day and rations was am
ple return for the labor they gave.’
There is no money to be made by
the labor of the negro in the culti
vation of corn and cotton, whether
you rent with him, crop with him or
work him for wages. He Is obliged
to bo fed and clothed, and it about
takes all ho can make to do it.”
“Cast'your eyes over the country
as you go aboutand you will be con
vinced by its dilapidated condition
that I am correct. I remember
reading some time since in an agri
cultural report from Arkansas that
among the hills where grain,grasses
and stock were raised, the farmers
were in easy circumstances, and
farms wore seldom, if ever, under
mortgage, except for purchase
money. But when you come to the
lower country where cotton is cul
tivated exclusively, it was the re
verse. Farms with their appurten
ances and crops were mortgaged to
their utmost for advances.”
Mr. C. F. Showmako said “lie had
tried cropping, renting and working
for wages, and had failed to mako
money at planting, lie told how
some were managing who claimed
to be making money at farming,
and thought if lie could do likewise
lie would clear some money from
his crops.”
Mr. Robert Law said lie could not
get first-class hands at the price
mentioned by Mr. Burton, and
thought the most profitable way of
working the negro, was to pay him
good wages, make him work and
fertilize the land heavily.
Mr. E. A. Gordon claimed that the
cropping syst tn had proved with
him the most profitable.
Mr. L. E. Brown thought from the
limited experience ht' had gleaned
from the little farming operations
in which he had been engaged, that
cropping was the most successful
way of working the negro, and dif
fered with Mr. Burton on outside
patches, believing them to be nest-
eggs for negroes to use in purloin
ing cotton.
Mr. J. B. Jones, Jr., advocated the
renting system, and claimed that
the only money his father had
made at farming was in this way;
that paying wages was a complete
failure, and that it was only a mat
ter of time for those following this
system to break.
Mr. 1‘. S. Jones: “Mr. Story, of
Richmond county, has given up
renting and cropping, adopting (lie
wages system as best—lie makes
money at farming.”
Mr. J. B. Jones, Jr.: “We know
that he did well with renters and
croppers, but we can only wait the
results since his adoption of the
wages system.”
Mr. C. T. Belt believed Mr. P. S.
Jones to be correct in his views
and said it was impossible for him
to get along without a good wages
force to make provisions for sup
plying tiie plantation a fid to do
hauling and odd jobs that employed
his work stock when too wet to use
on the farm. It was impossible to
get renters and croppers to do this
work—he found it difficult enough
to got them to tend their crops.
A motion was made, and carried,
to finish all business before adjourn
ing for dinner. Mr. Robert Law
made a motion, which was adopted,
for continuing same subject at next
meeting.
Mr. C. F. Shewmake presented
the name of Mr. C. II. Thomas for
membership and he was unan
imously elected.
Mr. It. H. Burton’s kind invita
tion to meet at his house next
month was accepted. The members
then adjourned to partake of the
most excellent and tempting lunch,
arranged by the ladies, whose pre
sence there, as everywhere else,
lent a charm and grace to the occa
sion.
A Snake M lili'li Harks nii<)|lhdlows.
DouoIjASVIIjTjK, Ga., June 21.—
The man who saw the milk white
snake has come to the front with
another snake story. Friday night
lie went home after dark. When
lie closed his front gate, which ho
found open, he heard a loud noise,
something beating against the gate.
On examination lie found that lie
had caught the head of a large
snake between the gate and the
post, near the gate hinge. The
snake was left in this position
until morning, and measured
four and a half feet in length
and nine and a half inches in cir
cumference. Its species is un
known, and when its head was first
imprisoned by the gate it barked
like a dog and bellowed like a bull.

Several months ago Annie Sheely,
a young Irish lass, waiting at the
table of her master, Mr. Carroll, in
Ireland, was insulted by one of the
guests who had been drinking too
freely. John Carroll, a son of the
family, knocked the insulter down,
and followed up this bit of gallantry
by falling in love with the pretty
Annie. He said lie would marry
the girl, and Carroll pere turned
him out of the house. He camo to
America and dug ditches for a liv

St. Louts, June 20.—Word comes
from Texas that a terrible wind and
rain storm passed over parts of the
interior of the state last evening
and great damage was done to town
property and' crops in the country.
At Waco several houses were badly
wrecked and one man was severely
wounded.
At Dallas a good deal of havoc
was caused by the blowing down of
small buildings and the uprooting
of trees, etc.
At Weatherford the residences of
S. B. Womac, W. F. Bull, S. L.
Weatherford, Mrs. Broach, the
grain warehouse of G. P. Levy and
the colored Baptist church was de
molished, and the Methodist church,
Opera House, three public school
buildings, the Sikes House, France
Land Company’s office and a num

Accounts from the country are
that a large amuont of corn and cot
ton was beaten to the ground, and
barns and other outbuildings,
fences, trees, etc., destroyed. The
damage in Weatherford is estimat

There is something strangely cu
rious about old clocks and the antics
they sometimes indulge in when
the spirit of some loved one Is about
to take its flight to the Great Be
yond,
And, too, it is rendered doubly
curious that these old clocks are
rarely ever affected, save when the
brittle thread of life of those who
have listened to its incessant tick
as it measures the mile stones of
life for nearly half a century is
about to lie snapped and returned
to the Author of its existence.
A very strange incident of this
character occurred in this place
last Thursday evening at the home
of Mr. A. N. Robinson.
His mother, a very aged lady, lay
at the point of death, surrounded
by her surviving children, who each
moment expected the crisis to come
which would waft the patient suffer
er’s soul to the beautiful city above,
when suddenly, like a peal of thun
der, which sunk deep into the hearts
of those present, it struck the hour
of 1. This clock had not struck be
fore in a year, but had kept the
time with unerring accuracy for
years and years. This Is certainly
something remarkably strange that
we cannot solve.
Philadelphia Tillies.
A desire to cast a slur upon the
South sometimes carries one too
far. This is what happened to the
Johnstown Tribune. It read in the
Times a ludicrous story of a joke
played upon Senator Vandegrift,
which was originally published in
the Hulmville Advance, and which
told how a darky baby was found
wrapped up in the cloth which the
senator supposed to contain a cho
colate cake that lie had been in
vited to cut. The Tribune renro-
duces this story under the heading
“Southern Refinement.” The Tri
bune need only refer to its Times
Almanac to learn that Vandegrift
is a senator from Bucks county, and
any modern map of Pennsylvania
will show that Hulmville is in that
county, and not in the bold, bad,
unrefined South. The Tribune
should brace up, and learn that the
war has been over so long that a
darky baby born on the day of Lee’s
surrender, would, if he lived in
Johnstown, be entitled to vote at
the Cambria county Republican
primaries next week.

Huntingdon, Pa, June 18.—Peter
Ilerdic, once known as the Wil
liamsport lumber king, received the
contract a year ago to supply Hunt
ingdon with water. Yesterday af
ternoon his men were excavating at
the new reservoir, at the head of
Fifth street, when at a depth of
about eight feet from the surface, J.
D. McClain discovered an earthern
pot securely sealed, which was filled
to the brim with Mexican and
American gold and silver coins of
ancient date. McClain refuses to
make public the amount of money
the pot contained, but his friends
say it is several thousand dollars.
As soon as the discovery was made
known Mr. Ilerdic put in a claim
for the treasure, on the ground that
it was found on ids property, while
McClain insists that it is his under
the common law relating to trea
sure-trove. Mrs. Christian Cole-
stock is another claimant. Her de
ceased husband sold the land to
Ilerdic, and the widow alleges that
the money was buried by Colestock
years ago for safe-keeping. All the
parties have employed counsel, and
the ownership of the contents of the
pot will be tested in the courts.
A Hut Whips n Snake.
Iiiifayette Messenger.
One of our popular young far
mers, noted for truthfulness as well
as modesty, tells the following story
of a fight between a rat and a
snake. He was at his stable one
morning not long since, and after
doing some chores around the lot
he sat down and began to meditate
—lie is given to such things occa
sionally—and while sitting on the
fence near his stable he saw a snake
crawl out from under the crib in
quite a hurry; presently a largo rat
followed and attacked the snake
fiercely. It jumped upon his snake-
ship and at once the reptile coiled
and endeavored to strike the rat,
but it was quick and escaped the
bites, meanwhile plying its own
teeth in a fearless manner. The
rat and snake clinched, rolled up in
a wad, the snake trying to coil
around the rat. Just at this mo
ment the rat, securing a good
chance, seized the snake near its
tail and bit it terribly. In much
pain and agony, the serpent quickly
gave up the tight and made oil', the
rat following a short distance, and
then returning went back to the
crib. Several times it came out and
smelled along through the weeds,
as if scenting the snake. It Is sup
posed that the snake had eaten the
old rat’s young, and it was do-
term i nod to have revenge.
Athens Banner-Watchman.
In the old field next this side of
Chalky Level, on the west side of
the Lexington road,and about three
miles from Athens, there was a
large frame farm house with its
outbuildings, the home, half a
century ago, of an old revolution
ary soldier, who fought under
Washington at Monmouth and fol
lowed him seven years. Reuben
Ransom died in 1882. The house
was burned, and even the great
cedar tree, at whose base he rested,
lias disappeared. The old spring in
the cluinD of trees hard by has lost,
we are told, a share of its purity
and freshness. But the govern
ment or people should mark the
grave of the old hero whose name
and deeds and virtues should ever
grow green in our memories. Reu
ben Ransom, of whom we tell,
came hither before the present cen
tury was born, from North Carolina.
Perhaps he is an ancestor of a
famous senator ot the old North
State. In any event “ Old Uncle
Reuben” left an honest, spotless
name in Clarke county, and it is a
pity that his grave is desecrated or
forgotten. But why should not the
Federal government, that sets up a
marble headstone at each Union
soldier’s grave, provide one for the
old hero*of the eight years’ war
with England?

Mr. Dunlap said In conversation recently:
“At out four years ago I had a severe attack
of rheumatism, which completely disabled
me for a time, and which developed Into
what Is commonnly called‘chronic,’ attack
ing me when least expected, and laying mo
up entirely; Incapacitating me for any kind
ol business, and causing me as much trouble
In a day as should be crowded In a lifetime.
After one c f my most severe attacks, and
when I had Just got able to hobble around, I
met Mr. J. M. Hunnicutt, an old friend, and
he said he could make a remedy that would
cure me, and by gracious, ho did. I took two
bottles of his stutf, prepared from roots and
herbs, and I have never hud a twinge of rheu
matism since. The medicine was not pre
pared for sale at. that time, but was manufac
tured by Mr. Hunnicutt Tor Ills friends.
About six months ago It was determined to
place it upon tie market, and a firm was or
ganized for that purpose. Two weeks ago, in
the midst of my Buffering, I noted In one of
their advertisements that It was good for kid
ney troubles also. I knew It would cure rheu
matism, and I bought a half a dozen bottles
at once and determined to give It a fair show
at a kidney disease of long standing. It may
seem extravagant, but tlio first day's use gave
me relief, and before I had completed tuking
one bottle my disagreeable symptoms hud
entirely disappeared. I have used two bot
tles up to this time, and I have not felt a traco
of my disease for a week.”

Red Sulphuk Springs, Va.,
June 19.—Early this morning Earl
Law, a young lawyer, and Miss
Mariana Winslow eloped from the
home of the young lady’s parents
for the purpose of getting married.
The pair were in a buggy and made
good time until Indian creek was
reached. The creek was very high,
but an attempt was made to tord it.
When midway of the stream the
vehicle was washed over and the
occupants thrown into the water.
The young man lodged against a
broken tree in the middle of the
creek and caught the lady as the
rushing waters were carrying her
down. Fortunately, at the root of
this tree there was sufficient foot
hold for him to stand so that the
water only came up to his armpits,
but on either side of him was too
deep and the current too strong for
him to venture to reach the shore,
lie had tile young lady in his arms
for two hours before they were dis
covered. Their position was made
more unpleasant by the hot sun
pouring down on them. Luckily
when tho buggy was overturned an
umbrella was thrown in reach of
tlio young man, and lie managed to
open it and hold it over the young
lady’s head.
The rescue was evon more novel
than the catastrophe. A young
man, although the risk was great,
swam a strong horse to the tree, and
the lady and her lover clung to the
animal’s tail and were rowed safely
to land. The young lady’s father
was in pursuit, and stood on tho
bank when she was taken from tho
water. Consequently tho marriage
was postponed.

A Horrible Experience.
London, June 21.—The American
ship Frank Pendleton,' Captain
Nichols, from San Francisco, Feb
ruary 13th, has arrived at Queens
town. She has on board the mate
of the British bark Arklow, Captain
Pye, from Manilla for Montreal.
The Arklow was in a collision on
May 8th, with an unknown vessel
and was cut to the water’s edge.
The captain, his wife and child and
ten seamen took to tho life-boat.
The mate put off alone in a small
open boat. It Is feared that the oc
cupants of the life boat were lost.
The mate has had a most horrible
experience. He was for eight days
without food, water or clothing, the
stores ho had provided himself with
having been lost by the capsizing of
his boat. lie clung to the keel for
twenty-six hours and then succeed
ed in righting the craft. IIo hung
up his shirt for a sail and caught a
few flying fish, which ho eat. lie
proceeded slowly for six days, look-
in vain for a sail, and then became
unconscious. While in this condi
tion tho boat was sighted by the
Frank Pendleton, and he was res
cued on May 1(5.
Queenstown, June 22.—The mate
of the British hark Arklow, who
was picked up at sea in an open
boat by the American ship Frank
Pendleton, and said the Arklow
was sunk by a collision on May 8th,
has disappeared. He left a note
stating that his heartrending story
of the collision and his subsequent
suffering was fuse, and added: “I
left the vessel for reasons which I
will hereafter explain.”
Preston Valentino.
Augusta News.
During tho past woek Judgo H.
I). D. Twiggs, attorney for Preston
Valentine, filed a motion in tho
superior court asking for a new
trial in the caso of Valentine, who
was convicted of murder and con
fined in Jail to await tlio 2d of July
when the execution was ordered to
take place.
It is generally thought by tho
public that Judge Roney will not
grant a new trial, hut tho attorneys
for the murderer will carry the case
to tlio supreme court. Consequent
ly the execution will not take place
on the 2d day of July, and it will
take possibly six months before the
ease can roach the supremo court
anti be finally decided.
Judge Roney overruled tlio mo
tion to-day and the case will be car
ried to tho supreme court.
