Painfully Hurt.
On Thursday after leaving Bark
Camp church, the mule of W. P.
Netherland exhibited a tremendous
and overpowering anxiety to get
all the distance possible between
himself and that sacred edifice. In
the hurry of this getting away Mr.
Netherland was thrown from the
road cart, and as his feet were en
tangled in the reins, he was dragged
some distance. He is still confined
to his bed, and his bruises are speak
ing evidences of the fact that it
won’t do to tie “to a mule.”

Thanking you for your past patron
age. I am very respectfully,

A Yankee Ttick.
There is something in the sur
roundings of Milieu which develops
one’s ingenuity to a surprising ex
tent. For example, a few years
ago one of her citizens a well
known contractor, owned an old
raw-boned animal of the horse va
riety. Wishing to avoid the expen
sive purchase of horse diet, he fas
tened a pair of green goggles about
the eyes of his charger, and fed him
on broom straw, thinking that
what the straw lacked in flavor and
nutriment, it would make up in the
rich green color imparted to it from
the goggles. Strange to say the un
grateful animal continued to waste
away, and died.
An Alllgitnr Egg.
Mr. Wm. Chandler has sent us an
alligator egg. Just now he has the
alligator hobby bad, and he is rid
ing it as though there were millions
in it. He has evidently spent much
of his valuable time in studying
the ways of this lovely member
of the saurian family. They depos
it their eggs in a nest composed of
sand and deoris and the heat from
the sun hatches them. They
lay from fifty to sixty eggs. The
female watches her nest and dis
plays the most commendable ma
ternal anxiety in leading her young
from the sand bank nest to the
waters of the swamp. The male
alligator has all the depraved in-
tincts of the cannibal, and eats
his young witli the greatest avidity.
They have a peculiar fondness for
the flesh of the negro, and will give
it the preference over all other
food.

THE COUNTY COUUT.
A liill to be Presented to the legislature Asking
for Its Abolition.
A notice has been published that
a bill will be introduced in the leg
islature* to aboli^ the county court
of Burke. If the county court is
properly managed, we have no
doubt but that its continuance will
inure to the benefit of the county.
If evils exist, these evils should he
corrected. Because the judge or
the solicitor, or the bailiff are dere
lict in their duties, their short-coin
ing should not necessitate, the do
ing away with the tribunal in which
they are only for the time being
the officials. We are aware that
the mutterings of discontent and
dissatisfaction as to the manage
ment of this court have been heard
over the county, yet every grand
jury in their general presentments,
have fully endorsed the entire judi
cial proceedings of Judge Perry and
his assistants. The Citizen, as the
mouth-piece of the good men of the
county, will not condemn unheard
these public servants, nor will it act
as their defenders, unless they dis
prove the charges that are being
made against them. And, in order
that the court or its friends may re
ply to the charges, we will “tell
them as they have been told us.”
It is said that the court is being run
mainly for costs, and that arrests
are yery often made merely that
fine money can be made for the
solicitor and bailiff, and that the
man who has money is apt to be
convicted in order that so much
more toll may go to the mill. That
the solicitor being "pecuniarily in
terested in convictions, the judge
leans too readily to his side of the
case. That the judge receives a
salarj T paid from the county treas
ury, and that the expenses of draw
ing juries are also paid by the coun
ty, but that in assessing costs, the
part of the hne money set apart for
the judge and jury trials, are not
paid over as the law requires to the
county commissioners, but are held
as a reserve to make good the in
solvent costs of the solicitor and
bailiff. That many parties knowing
the proclivity ot the court to make
all the fine money possible, rather
than take the risk of an almost sure
conviction, very generally appeal
their cases to the superior court.
That the bailiff has been known to
discharge offenders without a trial
upon the payment of certain mon
ey in the way of cost. We feel con
fident that the court can disprove
many of these charges, and we hope
for the good of the county, and the
reputation of these gentlemen,whose
high characters have always been
above spot or blemish, that a care
ful and dispassionate investigation
will give a lasting quietus to the
opposition which has culminated in
an application to abolish the court.
This is a very important matter, in
which every citizen of the county is
interested, and a free discussion in
the columns of The Citizen would
enlighten the people, and would aid
our members of the legislature in
arriving at a proper understanding
as to what side they shall take when
the matter comes up before them
for final action.
We call attention to notice of W.
E, Jones in regard to gin house in
surance. Losses of this kind have
been so heavy in this section we
hope every one will give him a call
and insure his gin house for the
season.
BAKHECUE AT MULES.
A Large Croud Present to Help Her Citizens En
joy the Happy Occasion.
In spite of the unfavorable weath
er a number of our citizens attend
ed the big barbecue at Milien on
last Wednesday. There were about
1,500 or 2,000 guests. Ample prepa-
tions had been made to entertain
5,0Jt0. The object of the gathering
was to raise by subscription funds
to build a cotton factory. Maj. J.
H. Hanson, of Macon, was the ora
tor of the day. Being an experi
enced and practical expert in the
general management and workings
of cotton factories his remarks re
ceived the undivided attention of
those interested in the enterprise.
Maj. Hanson did not encourage the
building ot a cotton factory, as the
present supply of cotton goods was
in excess of the demand, and the
low price of cotton goods made a
very small opening lor any profit in
the business. Only those factories
were now making money which
were advantageously located and
managed all the way through by
men peculiarly fitted for the busi
ness. Mr. Ilans'on took the position,
that just now there were other en
terprises in Georgia that would pay
better dividends than a cotton fac
tory. He advised the citizens of
Milien to invest in a cotton seed
oil mill and fertilizer factory, and
his arguments were so conyincing
that the idea of a cotton factory
was abandoned, and books of sub
scription for an oil mill and guano
factory were opened. Twenty thous
and dollars worth of stock was call
ed tor. The shares were $10, and no
one person was allowed to take
more than fifty shares. Some $10,-
000 was raised, and those who seem
ed to understand the situation were
confident that the scheme will pan
out a success. Congressman Barnes
was present, and made an excellent
speech. He is a great favorite in
Burke county, and his constituents
are always glad to see him and take
much pleasure and interest in hear
ing his views on the important top
ics ot the day. As soon as the
speeches were made the young peo
ple started a dance, and in spite ot
the every now and then heavy
showers of rain mirth was largely in
the ascendent and unalloyed pleas
ure seemed to be the order of the day.
The people of Milien are disposed
to look on the bright side, and the
last one of them are confident that
each coming year will find them
a more prosperous and progressive
people. The town is steadily im
proving, the crop prospects are fa
vorable and the merchants are pre
paring for a good fall trade. The
new store of Mr. Daniels Is about
completed, and it is by odds the
handsomest structure in the state
out side of the large cities.
Frequently accidents occur in
the household which cause burns
cuts, sprains and bruises; for use in
such cases Dr. J. II. McLean’s Vol
canic Oil Liniment has for many
years been the constant favorite
remedy.
Communicated.
Superfluous Offices.
Messrs. Editors: —The four
Waynesboro citizens who adver
tised notice to abolish the county
court are posing as patriots, but if
their names were known to the
people, their selfish and ignoble mo
tives would very soon condemn
their act. If they were trying to
retrench the expenses of the people
it would be a praiseworthy act, but
as one of them draws from $1,000 to
$1,500 out of the treasury, and the
other $500 or more every year, for
doing almost nothing, it is a grave
question with this fellow citizen if
they act irom pure motives. Now
I do not disagree with them at all
about abolishing the county court
if it is a useless branch of the judi
ciary and is expensive and oppres
sive to the taxpayers. If that is a
fact let it go, and go quick. At the
same time let all other superfluous
offices in Burke county go with it,
that prove such, and let the people
have the relief from taxpaying to
support them at once. Now, fellow
citizens, I am a poor taxpayer my
self, and hate to pay money where
I know no good whatever flows
troin it. Nothing is more oppres
sive than a useless office. The peo
ple have for a long time endured a
number of them in this county, sim
ply because inquiry has never been
made into the fact that they could
be easily dispensed with. There is
not a more useless office known to
our system than the treasurer’s of
fice ot Burke county. That officer
absolutely does nothing in the world
except receive from the tax collec
tor the people’s money and pay it
out on orders from court, make out
an account twice a year, and for
that the people pay him $500 or $G00.
Now where is the service rendered
here that entitles him to that pay.
One hundred and fifty dollars would
be big pay for this work. Abolish
this useless office. Let the commis
sioners handle the money as they
virtually do now. The law gives
them the power to audit all bills
against the county and this super
numerary treasurer only does what
they bid. Let tlvo office be conferred
upon the clerk of the commission
ers’ court of the county and let him
be paid $150 for his services—and
$450 will be right there saved.
Again, fellow citizens, while it
may seem that the long standing
sheriff office is an absolute necessity
under the law, there is no more
consummate piece of trumpery and
old lumber in our government ma
chinery than the sheriff’s office.
What does the sheriff do that any
constable in the county could not
do? There is not a constable in the
county that is not his equal intel
lectually or otherwise, and has it
not been so all the while. The most
important act this humble citizen
ever saw him perform is the grand
act of wearing his hat during the
sitting of court. Does he ever ar
rest any criminal that does not come
up with his hands crossed? Does
any criminal ever get back into cus
tody that escapes? I pray you tell
me, fellow cilizens, what does this,
august official do that any constable
cannot do. The poor constables are
ignored and the office he fills never
gives him a support because the
sheriff at headquarters can make
liim do the work and then draw $10
or $15 per day during court lor ex
tra services. The constables are
left to starve although they do four
times the work of the grand high
sheriff. The people are taxed to
support this grandeur. It would
be interesting for any citizen to in
quire how many warrants this offi
cer draws on the treasury in the
course of twelve months. They are
obliged to be paid because it is the
law, when if the office was abolish
ed these drafts would c?ase. A
law can easily be framed to trans
fer his duties to constables. And,
my countrymen, just think of the
immunity we would enjoy in being
rid of the election of sheriff and
treasurer, in which the nasty in
gredients of rot-gut whisky has
played such an important part in
our midst both to our danger and
disgust. I pray you think of that.
The shame our county has suffered
from that lingers in the memory of
every true and good citizen. No,
our four distinguished Waynesboro
patriots have not gone far enough.
Don’t stop at the county court, my
dear sirs. The county court has not
done the people any harm, but if it
can be dispensed with let us have no
supernumerary offices. This hum
ble citizen will join you cordially in
putting the last one out of sight un
til they are wanted again. Dear
sirs, be real patriots. Don’t let your
wrath against the county judge
move you to do half way work.
“Be heroes in the strife” and work
for the good of your county, which
I hope we all sincerely love and
will not knowingly rob out of one
cent. I am, Messrs. Editors, your
friend truly, Home Rule.

On April 1st, there were 235 bales
of cotton in Burke couuty. There
are 12 lawyers, 26 doctors and 1
loan agency in Burke county. Burke
county has 4,022 voters, and of this
1,058 are whites and 2,964 colored.
The aggregate valuation of proper
ty in Burke as per tax digest of
whites is $1,738,106; colored,$229,845.
The digest is neatly and correctly
made up and reflects great credit
upon Mr. Wimberly as an officer.
There is, however, a slight decrease
in the values of personal property.

Munnerlyn, Ga., Aug. 14.—And
still it rains.
Send down your apple-cart and
we will load it with peaches and
melons.
Our farmers in this seetion have
combined against jute bagging. At
no price, however cheap, will they
use It.
The rains have made the roads
almost impassable, and the atten

called thereto.
A little child of Mr. Alec Clark
was reported lost at Milien to-day.
We hope the little fellow will be
restored to his parents.
Crops were never better in this
section, but it is teared that the re
cent heavy rains damaged the cot
ton crop considerably.
Recent shipments of melons have
not proved very satisfactory for the
shippers, but one consolation, the
railroad companies have made
money on the freights. If we are
not profitted they are, and home in
dustry is thereby encouraged.
The Farmers’ Alliances are all
the go. They seem in earnest and
are determined to down the high
prices, and heavy rates of interest
by buying in large quantities and
paying cash for goods. Add to this
the making of hog and hominy at
home and the county is safe and
farming will pay.

Considerable fodder has been lost
on account of the incessant rains.
Mr. J. N. Applewhite had the
misfortune to lose one of his finest

Miss Mamie Saxon left for her

The public highways (?) are need

that.
Joe Applewhite, of Milien, is a

how to entertain and make a guest
feel happy.
The crop prospects at present is
good, notwithstanding the rains
have been continuous, for several
weeks.
Mr. F. M. Cates has a model home
with all modern conveniences. Such
homes are conducive to happiness,
and more of them through the
country would make rural life
preferable to that of any city.
We attended the barbecue at
Milien Wednesday, and enjoyed
ourselves muchly, notwithstanding
the rain fell nearly all day. The

Dr. McMaster after an absence
of several months returned home
on Sunday. He has just recovered
from a long and very tedious at
tack of typhoid fever. He is much
reduced, but is cheerful and hopes
soon to be strong enough to enter
actively into the practice of his pro
fession. Dr. McMaster has been a
resident of Burke county only a few
years. He came here a young
graduate of the Kentucky medical
college without any influential
backing. He has worked himself
self into a large practice, and every
day adds to the number of his
friends and the increase of his pro
fessional engagements. There are
few young men in the state whose
prospects are more encouraging.
He has worked his way un so
steadily that every year will in
crease his usefulness and widen his
influence.
Bowman, Ga., May 10th, 188S.
Dr. W. M. Pitts, Thomson, Ga.—
Dear Sir—I can cheerfully testify
as to the intrinsic merit of your
Carminative. In the latter part of
the spring our little girl, in the
process of teething, was suffering
from cholera infantum, and was fast
becoming a mere skeleton, when
fortunately my attention was called
to the curative properties of your
Carminative. After using a few
doses, she commenced to improve,
resting sweetly at night, and soon
regained her natural bloom of
sweetness. You are at liberty to
use my humble testimonial as you
think best. Trusting that God’s
blessings may rest upon your labors
in disseminating your Carminative
to the alleviation of the troubles
consequent to teething children. I
am gratefully and respectfully
yours. Jno. L. Nance.
—Randolph Ridgely, Jr., the eld
est son of Capt. Ridgely, is at home
on vacation from the naval school
at Annapolis. The Citizen swap
ped a few words very pleasantly
with him this morning. He bears
all the marks of the well developed
physical man, and we have every
confidence that he will sustaiu in
the navy the reputation which oth
ers of his name so honorably gained
while representing the country on
the tented field.
—Though Mr. Lawson E. Brown
for several years has been a retired
school teacher, yet his ardor has
never cooled and he is ever on the
lookout to add to his usefulness in
educating the rising generation.—
The citizens of Ireland district will
soon have a comfortable school
house near the residence ot Mr.
John Robinson, and for it they are
much indebted to the aid and exer
tions of Mr. Brown.
