‘‘everybody and bis next door neigh

Communicated.
Questions to lie Considered,
Mr. Editor:— Have the taxpayers
of Burke county ever figured up the
| daily cost of each days’ session of
1 the superior court? The expenses of
! running the superior court for three
! days would pay the expenses of the
county court for the entire year.
Do the taxpayers know that if the
county court is abolished that the
sheriff who is ex-officio jailer will
get four or five times as much mon
ey out of the county for feeding
prisoners ? And besides getting the
costs now made by the county court
baliff, that he will get$10 extra for
every additional day the superior
court lasts. Have the people
thought of it, that the livery Stable
during the session of the superior
court makes a good thing of it by
hiring horses to baliffs and consta
bles to ride over the county serv
ing court papers? Have they
thought of it, that for nearly every
extra day given the superior court
that there is a chance for the sher
iff to get big pay for feeding the ju
ries? Have they thought of it that
when a new court is organized
that another judge and solicitor
will be needed, and that in all prob
ability the very lawyers who are
now earnestly advising the aboli
tion of this court, will be candidates
for these offices? Have they inves
tigated who are the active ones in
working for the abolition of the
court, and if so what sort of animus
is the moving impulse in giving di
rection to these actions? Have they
thought ot it that some of the very
men who are how hard at work
talking down the court, as grand
juries under their oaths united in
making the general presentment,
every one of which approved the
existence of the court, and praised
the mode and manner of the judge
in carrying on the business of the
court?
Have they thought of it that if
fines and forfeitures have been ille
gally paid to officials instead of into
the county treasury, that the board
of roads and revenue, men whose
characters have been without spot
and blemish, have been culpably
negligent and remiss in their public
duty ?
Have they thought of it, that if
these charges are true, that our
grand juries, composed of the best
men of the county, have term after
term either stultified or perjured
themselves ?
Have they thought of it, how
quickly and softly some of these pe
titions have been gotten up, and
even now when signatures are de
manded, that the halting brother
receives the intimation that it he
does not sign that he will be placed
under the ban ? Observer.

Messrs. Editors: —One of
the most frequent objections
urged against the county court
is that it has a tendency to encour
age the freed men to resort to crimi
nal prosecutions on every flimsy
pretext, and that much valuable
time is lost on the plantation by
their proneness to gratify this grow
ing desire to come to court. In
this particular I think that the
planters should be held responsible,
and that the county court should
not be censured for issuing war
rants and trying cases, when the
owners of the places of their own
free will and accord surrender all
that authority which every planter
should exercise over his laborers.
So long as the owners of the places
around Waynesboro show such ut
ter indifference in regulating and
controling their planting interests,
they may expect annoyances «f
this kind. If planters will turn
over their places, “bug and baggage”
to irresponsible laborers, they
cannot expect a county court to
curb their propensities to come to
town. This opposition does not
come from that class of planters
who carry out the sensible ideas
advanced by Mr. Northern, in his
recent speech at Cedartown. So
long as our farmers persist in aban
doning their farms and leaving
everything to the tender mercies of
their improvident tenant, their in
terest will suffer, and no outside
surroundings can be devised to exer
cise that control and influence
which belongs alone to the owners
ol the soil. Big meetings, and
church gatherings, are oftentimes
great nuisances, and generally
flourish most wflen plantation work
is pressing. Why not attempt to
legislate against churches and re
ligion ? Why not abolish the towns
because the negroes will come in
on Saturdays? Why not boycot
buggies and jersey wagons because
they afford facilities for laborers
to neglect their duties? There are
evils and annoyances peculiar to
the planting interests, which the
planters alone can remedy. The
sailor in order that he may ipnr-
ney safely across the deep waters,
does not attempt to regulate the
the winds or calm the waves, but
looks to the riggings of his own
vessel and sees that the boat is
staunch and seaworthy. Those oi
us who fold our arms, and cry
overly much when misfortunes
come to us, almost as it were at
our own bidding, will always be
“kickers,” and faultfinders. Just
as certain as a man’s sins will find
him out, just so sure will country
towns, cross road stores, excur
sions, church gatherings and even
county courts encourage the gad
ding about propensity of the negro.
So long as the planter neglects his
crops and delegates his authority
to improvident and irresponsible
tenants, there will be mismanage
ment and misrule all over the
country, and frequent disturbances
will be the necessary order of the
day. The same unruly elements
which bring about these disturb
ances, will also resort to the courts,
unless some wholesome and intel
ligent restraint is brought to bear,
which alone can be exercised by
the planters themselves. These
are practical, every day lessons,
which should be apart of the alpha
bet of every Farmers’ Alliance,
and so long as they are neglected,
monopolies, trusts, and unfavorable
legislation will be but lesser eyils
in the way of the planter.

The German.
The Arlington hotel parlors and
ball room presented an unusual
scene of mirth and pleasure last
evening. The occasion being the
first german ot our city, and com
plimentary to the Misses Berrien,
of Savannah, Ga., and the Misses
Nesbitt, of Newton, Ga., whose wel
come presence here has added so
much recently in the enlivenment
of our city. To say that the ger
man was a grand success voices the
sentimensof all those who saw and
especially those who engaged in its
pleasures. The dazzling array of
beauty the lovely flowers and even
ing costumes worn, under the ra
diant “lights that shone o’er fair
women” and our gallant young
men, presented a sweet picture that
will hang a long time upon memo
ry’s walls. Our popular and gal
lant fellow townsman, Dr. Hugh B.
McMaster, with the charming Miss
Burton, of our city, led the german
in a manner that almost equally
decided the favors of the evening.
The hgures though all impromptu-
ly gotten up, were each little gems
of mirth, such only as a gentleman
of Dr. McMaster’s gallant and
graceful manner would suggest.
We have known him as a true
friend, (and well might we say of
hint that he is one of nature’s noble
men) but now we have seen him
in a new sphere to us, one that only
his grace and ease of manners could
fill successfully and he and his ac
complished partner haye won new
laurels for themselves for the kind
and equal pleasures so lavishly ex
tended to the society of our town
last evening. Those present were
Miss Haidee Routzahn with Mr.
Frank M. Butts, of Augusta, Ga.;
Miss Rosa Berrien, of Savannah,
Ga., with Mr. T. D. Oliver; Miss
Jennie Nesbitt, of Newton, Ga.,
with Mr. Jas. II. Whitehead; Miss
Katie Godbee with Mr. Ed. G Byne;
Miss Ruth Nesbitt, of Newton, Ga.,
with Mr. W. A. Wilkins, Jr.; Miss
Callie McEImurray with Mr. W. W.
McCathern; Miss Battey Berrien, of
Savannah, Ga., with Mr. F. L.
Scales; Miss Mamie Whitehead
with Mr. L. B. Godbee; Miss Annie
Burton with Mr, Corker; Miss Mat-
tie Lee Wyatt with Mr. Richard

were Dr. A. G. Whitehead and lady,
Dr. C. T, Milner and lady.
Oft to tlic West.
To-day a special car leaves Atlan
ta for the Northwest, bearing repre
sentative farmers of Georgia, who
under the auspices of the Central
railroad will visit under the charge
of Maj. Glessner the principal fairs,
stock farms, dairies, Ac., of Ohio and
other Western states. The Atlanta
Constitution will send a car along
with this party, and has kindly in
vited the editor of The Citizen to
be one of its guests. The invitation
has been accepted, and the next two
weeks will be devoted by our rep
resentative to interesting and in
structive sight-seeing.
There will he two coaches, the
one containing Presidents North
ern and Livingston and two repre
sentatives from each congressional
district. The party in this coach
are the guests of the Central rail
road. The second car will carry
the representatives of the Constitu
tion and their invited guests.
Many of the large cities of the
Northwest will be visited, and prep
arations are now being made to
give this visiting delegation a warm
reception. The State Fair of Ohio,
at Columbus will be visited, and
also the Tri-State Fair, at Toledo,
representing the states of Ohio, In
diana and Michigan. The columns
of Tiie Citizen for the coming two
or three issues will contain accounts
of the sight-seeing of its representa
tive, and he trusts during this trip
to pick up many items of interest
both to himself and the readers of
The Citizen. The farmers of the
state will surely appreciate this
compliment and courtesy extended
them by the management of the
Central railroad, and the guests of
Constitution will bear in kindly re
membrance the managers of this
great journal, whose columns are
devoted to the cause of the people
of Georgia, their advancement and
general welfare.
An Interview with Col. J. J. Jones.
The Citizen a few days ago in
terviewed Col. Jones, who is the
nestor of the Waynesboro bar, and
also the chairman of the county
board ot roads and revenue. His
opinion being asked if the abolition
of the county court would benefit
the taxpayers, and at the same time
conserve the public good? replied:
That he believed that if this court
was abolish that it would be neces
sary to levy an extra tax to meet
the increased expenses of the supe
rior court; that at least $1,500 or $2,-
000 over and above the present as
sessment* would be required. He
believed that the sheriff, who is ex-
officio the jailor, would get his pay
for feeding four or five times the
usual number of prisoners, and that
the annual sessions of the superior
court would be lengthened fully two
weeks. While he did not go into
the reasons for it, it came to his
knowledge, being the chairman of
the board of roads and revenue—
that tne expenses of the superior
court were continuing to increase,
and the doing away with the coun
ty court would have an evident ten
dency to add both to the expensive
ness and duration of the superior
court.
Col. Jones has been in the active
and continued practice of the law
at this bar for 40 years, and for
about 8 years has been an earnest
and zealous member of the board of
county commissioners, and as such
has watched closely the administra
tion of the different courts, having
an eye to the expense of running
them, because it has been a part of
his public duty to pay the expenses
of the county.

Alliance; and,
Resalved 2d, That whatever act

That, we have a co-operative union
with the white Alliance. That we

duce when he is in want of same,
such as cotton seed, corn and fod
der, etc.
On motion of O. A. Allen, the fol
lowing resolution was adopted:—

and regular standing with his Al
liance and dies and leaves his fam
ily, that each sub-alliance pay to
their support $2.00.
There are now twelve colored al

The Academy.
The Citizen has received a let
ter from Mr. A. W. Lynch, the prin
cipal of the Waynesboro Academy.
He expects to reach Waynesboro
to-day, and his school will open on
the 9th of September. His first as
sistant, Miss Wheadon, of Peters
burg, Va., has bad 9 years experi
ence in teaching in schools of high
grade, and brings tiie most flatter
ing endorsements from all the
schools in which she has taught.
For three years she has been the
assistant in a high school of which
Mr. Lynch was the principal, and
he appreciated her so highly that
he feels himself fortunate in secur
ing her as his first assistant.
Miss Jeannie Lawrence, of Co
hoes, N. Y., is the principal of the
primary department. She is a grad
uate of the State Normal School of
New York at Albany. For the past
12 years she has been a teacher in
the primary department of public
schools at Cohoes, and was re-elect
ed for the thirteenth year. Cohoes
has a population of 22,000. The
president ot the board of education
of that city, says that of the number
of 40 or 50 teachers who during his
presidency had charge of these
schools, that he regarded Miss Law
rence if not the best, one of the best.
The patrons of the Waynesboro
Academy are fortunate in securing
the services of such efficient teach
ers.
Was Not Dead.
On last Tuesday, Capt. Baston,
conductor on the day passenger
train, discovered a man stretched
out near the railroad track about
4 miles below the city, and informed
Mr. Scott of the fact. Sheriff Hurst
and Magistrate (and ex-officio coro
ner,) Lawson soon caught on to the
news and hurried to the spot, feel
ing sure that there would be a sen
sational inquest that would electrify
the people. They found the body
of an aged white man, hors du com
bat on the spot, but alas, he wasn’t
dead worth a cent. The remains
proved to be the living, breathing
body of an old gentleman, Mr. John
Mast, of Augusta, who had been for
some days a visitor of Mr. J. M.
Harp. He is quite an old man, and
is thought to be a little flighty in
his upper story, and says that he
was only on a little jaunt to Savan
nah. They brought him back to
the city. Ilis friends in Augusta
were notified of his condition, and
Dr. Tischer, of that city came after
him on Wednesday. He has been
quite ill since his removal to Au
gusta, but we learn that he is im
proving.

I have for a number of years act
ed in the capacity of salesman in

to give satisfaction to every cus
tomer. I heed not only the good
will, but the patronage of all my
friends. I am determined to build
up a successful business, and no
effort will be left undone for its ac
complishment. Respectfully,
