A CsM from Judge Perry, Editor Citizen:—In your last week’s edition you publish an edi torial in reference to the proposed act to abolish the county court. It would not be proper for the officers of the court to offer you any argu ment against the act, for it would at once he attributed to selfish mo tives. But it is necessary to reply to the strictures upon tiie acts of the officers which you have deemed necessary to publish. As public officers ota court, whose records are open to any inspection a citizen desires to give them at any tune, it is questionable whether we are called upon to reply to rumors where the party giving rise to them is either too vast a coward to let his name be used or too grand a liar to take the risk of detection. T can call to mind no case in the court where the history of it, so far as the records are concerned, cannot be run down, and if anything wrong transpired it can even now he de tected. You and any other citizen, are invited at all times to come forward and detect them. Men who make grave charges against public officials, should not hide their faces and stab in the dark. The grand jury have had caretul and good citizens to examine the records and also the acts of the county judge so far as the money is concerned, and although they have reported their satisfaction, yet some persons persist in circulating ru mors of like character as those you have published without even once coming like men and good citizens, to the judge, solicitor or records to inquire whether the charges were substantial or mere fabrications. Is it fair and honest dealing either with the court, or with the rest of your fellow-citizens, that these things are carried on in this mean and insiduous way? Now, if it is true that these rumors you pubiish have been originated by men who have from selfish motives, or had rulings against them in some case before the court, and seek this method to avenge themselves, are their acts not outrages upon the people as well as the county judge? fs this method of taking snap judgments, before the matter can fairly be heard, the proper one in a body politic ? The law makes every officer re sponsible for his acts. Why, I ask, have not these invisible serpents resorted to the law to hold the judge and solicitor responsible? The assassin that t.-ikes life by approaching his victim in the dark, is hardly less a villain, than he who assails a person’s character by in sidious slander. Now, that you have made these charges public, I shall await with pleasure to see how many of these votaries of slan der will come forward to make their charges good. I demand that they do it in the name of the citizens ot this county. I rely upon the peo ples’ honest judgments and fair mindedness in seeing that no citi zen shall suffer from slander and misrepresentations. If they do not come with responsible names, we will request you to say so, as pub licly as you have made the charges. Taking advantage of this outcry against the county judge and county solicitor, those interested from per sonal motives, have begun to circu late petitions all over the county to abolish the court, the prime movers of which are W. C. Sandeford and C. W. Hurst. The first deserves more than a passing notice. Mr. Sandeford’s quiet opposition has suddenly arisen. I will relate how it occurred. On the 17th of iast June, the case of Bonnell vs. Sandeford, came in to be heard be fore me as county judge. A suit in turn was filed by Mr. Bonnell against W. C. Sandeford to recover a mule which it was alledged that Sandeford had gotten from him by fraud. The testimony of Messrs. Ward, McCathern, Smith, Sim Bell, Seab Bell, and the two young Bon- nell’s—testimony that I had the profoundest respect for—exhibited a case heavily-loaded with over reaching. I was constrained to give judgment for the plaintiff against Mr. Sandeford. It pained me to do so for I was very friendly to Sande ford and hardly knew Bonnell. He now proceeds with great patriotism to abolish the county court. He adds his Influence witlr the Alliance in Burke, and tries to array them as a secret organization against me indirectly, knowing that my mouth is closed in that respectable body. I do not believe they will coun tenance such a dastardly thing and use their power to trample on the rights of a citizen that cannot be heard. All tnose that want to hear that Sandeford case will bo able to do so at the next term of the supe rior court. It is there on appeal. Mr. Sandeford’s patriotism that now soars so high, is unfortunate in that this transaction tracts along so very close behind him with the odor that attaches to it. The people are to have the court abolished be cause Mr. Sandeford is mad. Mr. C. W. Hurst, the people may not know, is active in this matter of sending out petitions. His object in being patriotic just now is quite apparent to every one. He is the sheriff'of Burke. The abolition of the court will necessarily put in jail about five criminals where there is one now, and as he is the contrac tor to feed them by virtue of his office,the county will be the sufferer in paying for their food. Again, if Mr. Hurst can get the court abolish ed, the business of the superior court will be increased and will necessa rily be prolonged one or two weeks, and his per diem will swell his pockets where the most of his pa triotism exists. So silso will Mr. Hurst’s business be increased in serving papers which now keeps the county court bailiff busy. Per sonal and not patriotic motives act uates the prime movers in this whole business. The people have no time to discuss this matter. Pe titions can always get signatures. It could very well be made a ques tion and discussed but these person al enemies will not submit to any thing of this kind. I want it under stood that I am not opposing the abolition of the court if the people desire it, but I do wish sincerely it could be done fairly. A change in any law ought to be fairly understood, and this mode of taking snap judgments is wrong. Even if it is a good court, I would vote for its abolition, if the people wanted it abolished. • As to the vague charges, Mr. Editor, what have I got to answer? My reply now is my record. I in vite those who oppose me to con front them. The law holds me re sponsible and 1 can answer only through them. If I can not have a fair showing, why, ail I can do is to suffer the wrong until the future can justify me. The haste in this thing suits some people, it does not suit justice. I ask now in reply to the charges when and in what cases was the court run mainly on costs? 1 pray that some one will mention one single case. Who was arrested and when, that fine money might be made for the officers? Who was fined because he had money that costs might he made? In what case, or cases did I lean to the solic itor that he might be benefitted? In looking over the charges one can readily see how a sensitive man may feel, having nobody responsible, af fecting as they do his honor and in tegrity. All 1 can rely upon, unless they are proven, is the just verdict of my fellow citizens, against slan der and misrepresentation. There is plenty of honor ip Burke county to resent this wrong and I’m satis fied to wait. In regard to the costs alluded to that it alleged, 1 have not paid over to the treasurer, my reply is that the law requires that all costs and fines shall be paid into the treasury that remains after the officers are paid. This cost that is called judge’s or as I’ve called it treasurer’s cost, is no more than other cost, for it is & penalty against criminals like the other. 1 have so treated it until last December. I concluded after talk ing with the grand jury’s committee to whom I showed the law, that I would pay it to the treasurer, al though 1 had doubt on my mind whether or not it should be paid over to the officers as other costs. I have since paid it to the treasurer and have his receipt forthe amount, $54. I is a small thing to be excit ing a great comment. I am the only judge that lias carried out the law in requiring criminals to pay this penalty, if the records show anything. I stand prepared to show every citizens,triend or enemy, what has been done with every dol lar that has been collected dur ing my administration, when and where it has been paid to the last cent, how every dollar of cost was assessed and distributed and how such officers costs were allowed. This is tiie only complete record that has ever been kept before, which I do not disclose in order to reflect on any predecessor, but only to show how particular I have been. This record is here to confront slan der. It points to every case and answers every charge made. Why shouldn’t your able and faithful county solicitor, be paid his hard earned fees? It costs the county nothing. What in the name of heaven is there to excite envy in in the small pay to the county bailiff' who earns every dollar in costs that he gets. I invite the pa triots to come and see the great sum they get and how they get it. Are they afraid that the $500 the county judge gets will make him a proud and bloat el aristocrat? I can not believe the citizens of Burke wiil be moved by any such motives knowingly. The specious plea is that the court is not self-sus taining. The little pettifogger that is doing that kind of balancing, is doing just about what suits him. I feel ashamed-when I think of this being made a reason for abolishing a court having the jurisdiction of the county court of Burke. I’ll ask why don’t some of these patriots move to abolish the superior court for the same reason. No, tellow citizens, a nobler motive actuated your legislators In creating the court. It was an arm of the judi ciary to protect the morals of your community and was never intend ed as a degraded machine to wring money out of the unfortunate peo ple who do wrong, to support the court and make money for your treasury. What Christian commu nity would soberly favor such a ma chine? When was it ever done before in a civilized community? As for myself, upon that idea, I would not be the judge of such a court one hour. Is Burke county called upon to have such a court, with her 85,000 inhabitants and $3,- 000,000 worth of property ? Think of this, fellow-citizens. Although crime is fearfully on thp increase everywhere and you have at least 20,000 negroes among you, to he governed as best you can, Mr. Hurst and Mr. Sandeford thinks they are called onto send around petitions and take away a part of your judiciary, betore you can dis cuss it. All this'for the pitiful sum of $500. Whether they are right or wrong the method is not right and I am persuaded that the people will seek to inquire into this yet. If I knew that I was the disturbing cause I’d resign, for I do not like to see the rights we have in our public insti tutions taken away in this summary way. H. II. Perry. Sodom Locals.

A large concourse of friends and relatives assembled at the house to pay their last tribute, and witness the closing scene of one esteemed by and endeared to all who knew him. We then repaired to the Sar dis church where religious exercises were conducted by Rev. J. H. Al len, under whose jiastorage Robert was led to the knowledge of truth, and as the sun approached the hori zon signalizing the close of day we interred the remains—alas his sun was gone down while it was yet day. In this death the family has lost an affectionate son and brother, the writer, a wide-awake and assiduous etudent and the community, an sxemplary benefactor. He was quiet in manners, amia ble In disposition yet brave iu trial and charitable to all. We commend the religion of Jesus Christ to the bereaved and mourning friends as a source of consolation. His eyes are closed, bis voice is hushed. His busy bunds are still, And, sleeping with bis kindred dust, He waits God’s spoken will. J. H. Bailey. Sardis, Ga., August 15th 1889. mill* Item. Correspondence Citizen. Hillis, Ga., Aug. 21.—The water melon crop has played out. Protracted meeting at Brick church closed on the 11th Inst. Cotton has commenced to open and in some places picking has be gun in earnest. The recent wet spell has caused a great deal of rust to make Us ap pearance in the cotton. Mr. Richard Oliver, of Waynes boro, is spending a few days with Mr. A. L. Herrington. Fodder pulling has ceased, but considerable damage was done to the crop by the recent heavy rains. Mr. G. W. Daniel had another runaway recently. Only a broken pair of shafts was'the result. Caterpillars have made their ap pearances in some localities, hut we think have come too late to do much damage. Farmers’ Alliance have an eye still on the trust, and seem to be de termined not to use any jute bag ging whatever. Mr, II. O. Odom,cf Augusta, spent last week in this community. He returned last Saturday. We hope to see him here again soou. M iss Gertrude Helmy returned to her home in Savannah on the 17th inst. She has been making a short stay with relatives here. Miss Gertrude Thomas has been spending a few days with Mrs. E. W. Hack during protracted meet ing at Brick church. She will re turn home on the 22d. Miss Mattie Johnston, of Rich mond county, who has be^n spend ing sometime with Mrs. E. W. Hack will return home in a few days. Mrs. Hack will accompany her. A certain young couple while out riding last Friday, near Ellison’s bridge, besides driving a mule, were particularly unfortunate in driving into a nest of yellow jack ets, while watering his mule in a branch. The young man managed to get into the buggy, hut lost his hat in the water which floaied off down the stream. Tiie mule was completely covered, and the young people also came in for a sharp sprinkling of venomous, stinging little y.j’s. The mule started in a run, while the young people slapped and scratched and screamed. Such antics as were cut up by this trio is indescribcble. They,however, man aged to get rid of the little pests. The young lady thought they were bees, but the young man is quite sure that they were yellow jackets. They have no desire to tackle them again. —Three second-hand gins for sale cheap. Nearly new.
