Captures I linn All.
We have good news for every
body tiffs week, because every body
uses furniture in some way, and
therefore every one is interested in
the advertisement of Messrs. Flem
ing A Bowles. They have an ele
gant stock and all the very latest
styles, and at such reasonable prices
that any one can afforu to buy, the
fact is you can buy more goods now
for $100 than you could a few
years ago for $200, and Messrs.
Fleming & Bowles have been in the
lead all the time and are still in
the lead. You cannot deal with
fairer men, and witli men whom
you can rely on their word more
confidently, for'they stand at the
very head for honesty and integri
ty. We know this is saying a great
deal about buiness men, but they
deserve it, and we only wish it was
more appreciated. Deal with a
fair man and and you will always
get the worth of your money, go
and see Messrs. Fleming & Bowles
when you want auything in their
line and you will never regret it.
If you can’t go and see them, send
them your orders and they will
please you.
Waynesboro Academy Sotcs.
The Waynesboro Academy was
truly a place of interest in our quiet
little city this Monday morning.
Many of the triencis of education
together with teachers, patrons and
children were assembled within
the building by 8L o’clock; every
body being anxious to see and meet
the new teachers, all being strangers
in our inidst. The interior of the
room with its painted walls, adorn
ed with charts, maps, mottoes, and
pictures, presented a pleasing ap
pearance, the choice selections
which filled the blackboards inspir
ed us with a desire to make this
the best year of our lives. The ex
ercises were opened with a song,
and the reading of a few passages
of the scriptures by our esteemed
pastor, Rev. Bascom Anthony, after
which, Judge T. M. Berrien, chair
man of the board of trustees, very
appropriately introduced our prin-
eiual, Prof. A. W. Lynch, who very
earnestly urged a hearty co-opera
tion with him on the part of the
parents in his efforts to build up a
good school, and requested that
parents send in bright pictures to
beautify the building, and supply
the different rooms with desks, and
all modern appliances. He was
followed by Prof. J. H. Roberts who
delivered a most eloquent address,
after which the organization and
classification commenced. Some
time was spent in training the pu-
pils to march properly into and out
of the building.
Tuesday, school opened with sev-
ty-five pupils, the largest number
ever enrolled at the beginning of
any term in this city. Ail of our
spare time was consumed in letter
writing, which, we think, will be
very improving.
Wednesday morning the sun
shone beautifully and while the
weather seems rather warm we are
all so delighted with the exercises
at school, that we pass on scarcely
conscious of any inconvenience on
account of it. Lessons were better
prepared, and pupils are better dis
ciplined, It really seems that soon
we will get on splendidly, pleasing
both our parents and teachers, and
we will prove what Mr. Roberts
says about us is true, viz: That
we are not such bad scholars after
all. We will never forget the good
things he said about us iu his ad
dress.
We were given the state ot Geor
gia to study about to-day, we will
draw a map of it to-morrow, and
in this way become very familiar
with our native state.
Miss Lawrence is principal of the
primary ..department. We vfsited
ner room and found her pupils
quite orderly and deeply interested
with their work. Our room is pre
sided over by Prof. Lynch. Miss
Wheadon is the teacher of the in
termediate department.
To-day the map of Georgia was
drawn, besides exercises iu writing,
to say nothing of hard questions
written tor us to answer on to-mor
row. We believe the school will be
a grand success.
This day closes the first week of
school. We had a battle in geog
raphy, in which Mr. Lynch’s room
took part. This was something
new to us. We are given each day
quotations from different authors
co memorize. If we keep on this
way for a year, we will acquire a
valuable store of knowledge. As a
stimulus to make good scholars of
us, there is a roll of honor in the
school room. The names of all
pupils, who during the month are
not absent or late, and who do not
misbehave or make a failure in
their lessons, will be placed on this
roll. We wrote a composition to
day on “A Model Scholar.” 1 close
this week’s paper trusting that our
school may grow better and better
each week until it shall he a perfect
school of which Waynesboro and
Burke county may be proud.

no one else, so far, has pretended to give the — j: -.i ~ ' 1 ■ • •
public any reasons for abolishing this court,
and while X should prefer help, yet having
bared my breast to the storm of battle, it is
not “me'self that would he after turning me
hack upon an enemy.” True, there are some
people going about the county getting up
petitions, and giving their reasons privately
why the court should be abolished, but they
seem to look all around first, to make sure
no one is in hearing except the one they
are after. Now, Qf course, there is no partic
ular harm in this, but it looks bad. if our
reasons are good let us publish them, and
defy contradiction, and as we claim that
our reasons cannot be answered, we should
not be ashamed to give them to ttie public,
and make every man who favors the court
hang his head in very shame. We can’t af
ford to abolish any public office on inujulse,
tor impulse is frequently t lie source ofqh ave
errors to be regretted too late. X see that
Col. J. ,X. Jones, chairman of the board of
commissioners, who ought to be in position
to know, says in a recent interview that the
county con i t saves t lie people in taxes some
two or three thousand dollars a year, but
this is a bare statement, without tacts to sup
port it. I, for one, though sometimes differ
ing from him in politics, both before and
since the war, have always entertained great
respect for Col. Jones, and believe he has
the good ofthe county at heart, but he is
liable to err, and X am satisfied lie has erred
in this instance. Lot, him answer the ques
tion raised in our last article: Why can’t
the superior court handle all the business
disposed of by the county court without ex
tra expense to the county? Jle contends, ns
X understand, that tins business would
lengthen the terms of that court. This we
deny. My recollection is that the terms ot
the superior court are about as long now as
they were before we bad a county court. 1
say about as loni , because we did sometimes
have a three weeks sc-sion then, and fre
quently ail adjourned term, and 1 will irunk-
ly admit besides, that it was a common com
plaint at that time that the superior court
docket was always crowded, and that
many cases were never reached at all from
session to session, and I believe such was the
tact, hut it must, he remembered that tin-
population of the county has increased at
least 25 per cent, since the county court was
first established and it is reasonable
to suppose that litigation and crime have
decreased in proy< rtion. And besides, our
colored population are better educated and
refined now, and do not commit crime so
readily. Most ol the oiu slavery time dar
kies, who were notoriously impudent and
quarrelsome aiul lazy and thieving have died
out. and their places have been supplied by
a moie lioi.esi, inoustrious and tUrilty peo
ple, who. with a lew exceptions, scorn to
violate the laws of the country, and be
branded as common criminals, and who.
being more honest and able than the old
time darkey, pay their debts more readily
and are opposed to litigation, so that there
are not so many cases either in the ci\li or
criminal side of the court now as tnere were
IU jears ago. And not only these people, but
I claim, Mr. Editor that white people are
also more honest now than in 1s<j and pre
vious, and not only so, but Jl succession ol
very good crops ami mir P r ‘ces lor cotton
have broughi our people noarlj out ot debt.
We don’t owe so much, our stock and farms
are unencumbered, with some rare excep
tions, and it stands to reason that litigation
should have decreased accordingly, but,
Air. Editor, we can alibi'd l<’ coin-cue all that
Col. Jones claims for the court and meet him
oil his own grounds. Let us suppose, lor the
sake ol'thc argument, that litigation has n-
creased and that the county court, as claimed
lor it, disposes of 75 to 1U0criminal cases, am.
75 or 100 civil cases a above justice court ju
risdiction, initially, all of which would have
to be tried iu the superior court should we
abolish the county court, and let us suppose
that Col. Jones is correct iu supposing that
it would increase the two annual sessions ot
the superior court one week each, at least,

Death of Judge Samuel bevy.
As we go to press the news of
the death of Judge Samuel Levy,
reaches us. This sad event occurred
at his home in Augusta at 9:00
o’clock, this morning. Judge
Levy was at one time ordinary of
Richmond county, and at the time
of his death was L T nited States
Commissioner. He has discharged
during his long and useful life,
many positions of high trust faith-
lully; and his many friends in
Burke will regret to learn of his
death.
The “Life of the of the flesh is the
blood thereof.” Pure blood means
healthy functional activity, and
this bears with it the certainty
of quick restoration from sickness
or accident. Dr. J. II. McLean’s

would increase the expense ot the superior
court three or four thousand dollars a year?
Wiiat then? I ask you would not this extra
sum remain in the county? M ould it not
to the jurors, our own citizens, anti to our
own sherifi'and other officers ol court, and
who, i ask again, would be so penurious as to
grudge it to them? I pause for a reply. It
is a great privilege to sit on the jury at
Burke superior court for a whole week, and
we know how to appreciate it, and it it
he a (act that the county court shortens t lie
terms ot the superior court one, two or three
weeks, it is an encroachment upon our rights
as jurors. Again it is recreation to jurors,
litigants, and witnesses and court officers.
And on this line, Air. Editor, 1 have heard
some hard things said about our worthy
sheriff for taking such an active part, per
sonally and through relatives anil triends, in
getting up signatures to tlie petition to abol
ish the court. Such criticisms are all wrong.
Of course his motives are unselfish; but even
if he does hope to profit by the extra busme-s
that might he thrown into the superior court,
it has come to a pretty pass if a man in tins
free country is to be censured for looking out
for number one. If in helping to relieve the
county of Burke, lie also helps hiinselt, why,
where is tlie harm?
Another good reason why the court should
he abolished, tl at I have heard privately
urged, is this: That the costs in that court
are as high as they are in the superior court,
tor like services rendered. Now, Air. Editor,
there is sound common sense in this. The
county court is a smaller court than the su
perior court, and its officers should not
aspire to as much cost. It is human nature,
Air, Editor, that costs and tines paid by a
man in Big court seem more reasonable on
account of the size of the court and the ex
pense of running the concern. True, I have
heard it stated that our county solicitor is
paid less for the same service rendered than
11ic solicitor-general and less than any other
countv solicitor in the state, for that
while "they get $10 in each of said cases, our
solicitor, under our local act. only gejs $5,
except in reduced felonies, such as larceny
from the house,and a few other crimes in
which all solicitors in Georgia ardpaid the
same.
Well, while all this may he true, let other
counties stand it if they want to, but that, is
no good reason why our criminals should
lie taxed so heavily, or if they must be, let, it
lie done in big court, wliere our erriminais
and their friends will feel they have had
value received- This may seem like a joke,
Mr. Editor, but I assure you X am quite se
rious. It is human nature; and our repre
sentatives would do well to urge this view
in the legislature in introducing the bill to
abolish. We should concede something even
ttpeiimnals.
-Sir. Editor, I read the rumors narrated in
your editorial a few weeks ago in regard to
the present officers of tiie county court, and
we expected to hear some proof of the charges
made against them, or at least that the in
stances of wrong doing would lie specified, us
requested by those officers, blit as no one has
come to the front with either specifications
or proof, we are forced to conclude that the
rumors were mere slanders, and unworthy of
notice. I knew the judge of that court when
he was a boy. and knew his father before
him, ami want proof before I can condemn
either him or tHe other officers, all of whom I
have known for years. But. Air. Ediior, one
little matter lias been whispered in my ear
which 1 think demands some attention. It is
suspected, J learn, that t lie officers of that
court secretly favor the use of jute bagging in
Ibis county. Now, Air. Editor, this is a seri
ous matter, and is a “specification” that
those officers can answer. We shall oppose
anything that is conducted by the jute trust
or their sympathizers. Now, this is rumor
like the other charges, and may be false, and
we should not, in fairness, proceed to abolish
the court until this matter can bo investiga

an interesting feature. As soon as j
our proposition is accepted by that (
order, we will set the department;
aside, and hope some of the braini-,

their ranks will give us the benefit
of their ideas. This department is
to be presided over by one of the

intended for that deparment will

One of the greatest objections to
buying ready-made clothing, is that
they very seldom, if ever, approach
anything like a fit. To do away
with this trouble, and to meet tiie
demands of a large number of cus
tomers, I. C. Levy & Co., 888 Broad
street, Augusta, Ga., have lor the
past year or so, met with success in
their great tailor-fit clothing project.
They keep the best custom-made
goods, made by their own patterns,
and in the most stylish and work
manlike manner, and then, they
employ a good tailor who makes
any alterations necessary, free of
charge to the purchaser. Their
new departure has given great sat
isfaction to all who have patronized
them in the past, and accordingly
this season, to meet their constant
ly increasing trade, they have on
hand an elegant stock of ready
made clothing at prices that will
astonish you. A fit guaranteed or
no trade. Give I. C. Levy & Co., a
trial, and our word for it, you will
never regret it.

Communicated.
Mr. Editor:—Allow me the space
in your columns to publicly call
attention to a report of an alliance
committee published in the last
issue of The Citizen. That report
shows the purpose for which the
committee was appointed. I regret
to note that they failed to report as
to Mr. W. S. God bee, of Perkins
Junction. Mr. Godbee is a large
and successful planter as well as a
merchant. He also runs a public
gin. From the beginning, Mr. God-
bee, openly declared his uncompro
mising boycott of jute bagging, say
ing he would not use it to wrap his
own cotton, would not keep it for sale
in his store, would not furnish good
customers the money to buy it with,
and would not even gin for any
one who brought jute to cover his
cotton with. I understand he has
sacredly kept this declaration. If
so he certainly deserves the highest
commendation, not only of alliance-
men, but ol every true patriot in
the land.
I feel confident it was an unin
tentional omission on the part of
the committee, and that they will
amend their report at once.
If I am not mistaken, Mr. Godbee
is the only merchant in our county
who voluntarily boycotted jute en
tirely, and I, for one, congratulate
and commend him, and in so doing,
belieye I but echo the sentiment
of every true allianceman in the
county. Hurrah for Walter and
cotton bagging.
Wal C. Sandefobd.
W. I. Delph.
In our columns to-day will he
found the large advertisement of
W. I. Delph, 831 Broad street, Au
gusta, Ga., the live stove and tin
ware dealer of that city. Mr. Delph
is well and favorably known to the
people of Burke and surrounding
counties, and all that it requires
to become a lasting customer of his
is to give him a fair trial. His goods
will always be found new, strictly
first-class and reliable, and at the
most reasonable prices. Read his
advertisement, and when you need
anything in the way of stoves, tin
ware, grates, woodware, etc., at
wholesale or retail, Mr. Delph will
always be glad to give you lowest
prices for same. Give him a trial
order and be convinced.

Mrs. W. A. Wilkins and her ac
complished daughter, Miss Wilkins,
left yesterday for a pleasaut nor
thern trip. They will proceed di
rect to New York, and, after enjoy
ing its many attractions for a couple
of weeks, Mrs. Wilkins will return,
leaving her daughter as the guest
of Miss Howard, whose visit here
last winter is so pleasantly remem
bered by many who met her. A
trip to Baltimore, where wedding
festivities will contribute to make
time pass happily, is an item of in
terest to come after. We can only
wonder what next to this favored
daughter of parents, whose delight
it is to see the light of joy dance in
their loved one’s modest eyes.
