FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
Panther Creek.
Mr. Editor:—Mrs. John Shoemaker,
Sr., died a few days ago witli dropsy.
She was near SO years of age at the time
of her death. A good woman, wife and
mother has gone to her eternal rest,
leaving many sorrowing hearts behind.
We tender o*r sincere condolence to
the bereaved relatives and friends.
I There is considerable stealing going
I on in this section. A few days ago the
! house of Joe Edwards was burglarized
I and a watch, some clothing, and 821 in
; money were stolen. The smoke-house
of Mr. M. W. Coats was broken open
and all his meat taken. Mr. Jas. Roan-
in’gs house was also burglarized, the
thief getting off with all his meat.
On the night of the 2fith ult. one
Jake Ayers (colored) hired an ox and
wagon from Dan Leigh, and in the still
hours of night, when all honest people
are supposed to be asleep, Jake went
to the pen of Jack Jones, also colored,
and loaded his wagon with cotton.
While engaged in loading the wagon
lie was frightened off by the appear
ance of a party of colored men, but af
ter they had passed he returned and
finished the job. It is not known as
yet where the cotton was disposed of,
but Jake has skipped. He is under
bond for his appearance at the Superior
Court for wife-beating, and his sureties
had best keep a sharp lookout for
him.
Our people are somewhat exercised
over the action of the Tax Collector in
closing the tax books so early. The
law fixes the time for closing, viz: 20th
of December, after which date they
may proceed to issue fi. fas., and not
before. I learn there were fully a hun
dred men in Newnan last Saturday
waiting to pay their taxes, but could
not because of the absence of the Tax
Collector. I think there should be a
law compelling Tax Collectors to keep
their oliice at the Court-house until the
lawful time for closing. They usually
make their rounds in haste, often not
spending more than two or three hours
at a place.- I heard similar complaints
at Senoia while there the other day. I
think both the Receiver and Collector
ought to be compelled to spend two
days at such towns as Senoia, and one
day in each militia district. This is
what I would do if I were elected to
such a position.
Allow me, in conclusion, to tender
my sincere thanks to those friends who
supported me so warmly in the primary
election. I cheerfully submit to t).<
will of the majority and will heartily
support the nominees. I desire to say,
however, that the man who started the
report that I voted the Republican
ticket in the last Presidential election
is a liar and the truth is not in him.

Turin.
Mr. Editor:—Prof. Sheally, of North
Carolina, arrived in Turin with his fam
ily since my last letter, and has issued
his prospectus for the school at this
place the coming year.
From indications there will be more
land sown in small grain this winter
than for several years, and we are glad
to see it. So long as farmers have all
t heir flour to buy, and a large propor
tion of the corn which they use, they
may expect heavy bills when settling
day comes. Money can only be made j
at farming by practicing the strictest
economy, and the first important step;
in this direction is to raise supplies at j
home. Farmers can never hope to en
joy the fruits of their labor so long as
they buy on time; for, even with the
most favorable results, time prices are
so exorbitant that the entire crop-is of
ten insufficient to satisfy the debt.
Rev. Mr. Sanders left this week for'
Milledgeville, where he goes to attend
the annual meeting of the North Geor
gia Conference. So far as we can judge,
his churches would be pleased to have
him returned to the charge which he
has served so faithfully the past two
years.
Mr. Pinkard Smith will move to his
home near Senoia during the coming
week.
Mr. Fleming and lady, of Carroll
county, visited relatives here last Mon
day.
Capt. Hicks and Mr. Gay have re
turned from their prospecting trip,
bringing with them a turnip that
weighs seven pounds. They must have j
found a goodly land, surely.

•‘Ripples” Again to the Breach.
“Farmer” reminds me of the old wo
man at the wedding. The old lady
commenced to eat, and kept on eatidg.
until some of her friends became alarm
ed and said to her: ^Grandma, if you
don’t stop eating you will make your
self sick;” whereupon she rejoined,
“Never mind me; the more I eats the
fuller I gets.” I have heard of people
who had the gift of continuance, and
' thought it an idle saying, but find that
“Farmer” really has the gift.
I never have said that II. F. Moats
was related to Jack Henderson. What
I did say was, that I reckoned as how
W. T. Henderson and Jack were kin. I
see no need of “Farmer” trying to es
tablish Jack Henderson’s pedigree in
this controversy.
Jack’s letter doesn’t correspond with
his reports concerning the purchase of
Kaffir corn from II. F. Moats, W. T.
Henderson and Dr. Watkins. Dr.
Watkins does not reside in Coweta
county, and never has. Jack Hender
son says in his letter to “Farmer” that
“Dr. Watkins placed his entire stock of
seed in the hands of J. IT. Alexander,
seedsman of Augusta, who demanded
such a high price ($00 per bushel) that 1
declined to purchase.” Now, if it be
true that Dr. Watkins had the only
Kaffir corn seed in the State, as stated
by Jack Henderson in his letter to
“Farmer,” how does it happen that
Henderson bought five bushels from II.
F. Moats on the 13th of September,
18St>, and for which he paid Moats 800?
(See Henderson’s report for quarter
ending September, 1SS0.) In January,
1887, Jack Henderson bought of W. T.
Henderson twelve bushels of Kaffir
corn at 12£c. per pound, amounting in
all to 800. Jack says he gave Moats
the same price t hat was paid Hender
son. Moats was only entitled to 837.50
for his five bushels of corn; but Hender
son’s report shows that he paid Moats
800 for the five bushels. So, Moats re
ceded 822.50 more than his corn was
worth. 11 enderson’s report shows that
there was no price fixed for Moat’s
corn; yet Jack says he paid both men
i jjoats and W. T. Henderson) the same
price. (See his letter in last week’s
Herald and Advertiser.) If “Farm
er” doesn’t wish t ruin his c. se he had
best keep his friend Jack off the stand.
Which can we believe, Henderson’s let
ter or his sworn report? “Farmer”
with his dying effort tries to cover up
the crookedness of his friend, Jack
Henderson, by mystifying the truth.
He tries harder to mutilate Col. Atkin
son’s record than he does to defend the
Agricultural Department, and others
have noted that his dagger is aimed at
Atkinson. Let us inquire a little far
ther as to the part that Mi*. Atkinson
took in bringing the extravagance ol
the Agricultural Depatn ent to light
at the last Legislature, notwithstanding
“Farmer’s” denial of tl e same, who
still insists th.it Atkinson did not open
his mouth.
I am reliably informed that Mr. At
kinson made some remarks on the floor
of the House of Representatives con
cerning the loose management of affairs
in the Agricultural Department, which j
drew forth the following communication |
from the Commissioner of Agricul-1
ture:
To the Honorable Speaker of the House,
of Representatives of Georgia—Mr.
Speaker: Charges have been made on
the floor of the House of Representa
tives concerning the inspection of fer
tilizers, which are of a damaging nature
to me in my official capacity and calcu
lated to impair the confidence of the
people in the system of inspection and
the usefulness of the department over
which I preside. I therefore beg through
vou, respectfully, to deny the correct
ness of the charges and invite a thor
ough investigation of the whole system
and plan of inspecting fertilizers by a
joint committee of the honorable Sen
ate and House of Representatives.
Very respectfully
J. T. Henderson,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
Now, if Atkinson or some other mem
ber had not made remarks on the fioor
of the House, why does the Commis
sioner ask to be vindicated? He says
himself that “charges have been made
concerning the inspection of fertilizers,”
etc., and thereby sustains what I have
previously said in regard to Mr. Atkin
son’s discovery of crookedness in the
Agricultural Department. “Farmer”
certainly will not deny that the Com
missioner sent the foregoing communi
cation to the House of Representatives,
nor will he assert that Mr. Atkinson
did not offer a resolution directing His
Excellency, th - Governor, to furnish
the House with an “itemized state
ment of the expenses of the Depart
ment of Agriculture for and during the
last two years,” etc. “Farmer” says
these itemized statements are made and
published four times a year. Will
“Farmer” tell the public what paper
or book they are to be found in; and if
they had been published, why did the
Governor order three hundred copies of.
same reprinted ? “Farmer” thinks be
cause Atkinson didn’t holler louder
than Balaam’s ass, or the seven thun-;
ders, or until his voice had shaken
down the very walls of the State Capi- 1
tol, or jost'ed the stars out of their I
sockets, or turned the moon into blood,
that he (Atkinson) “never opened his
mouth.” No, the fact is, these item
ized statements of which “Farmer”
speaks had never been published. If
so, where is the hook or document con
taining them ? I hope “Farmer” will
refer to the page and hook. “Farmer”
says my arguments vanish into thin air;
but it is apparent even to the casual ob
server that he is' endeavoring to befog
the public mind by his cunning sophis-
t ry.
“Farmer” says: “Let ‘Ripples’ pre
vail on his friend Atkinson, at the open
ing of the present session, to move for
a thorough investigation.” If such an
effort were made it would be opposed
by Henderson’s friends, as was the case
before tlie joint committee'four years
ago. The friends of the Agricultural
Department opposed the publication
of the evidence in reference to the in
spection of fertilizers, because of the
fear that it would result in the expo
sure of the chief official of that depart
ment.
I will say to “Farmer” that Justices
of the Peace are more careful than
Governors or Judges of the Superior
Courts, and have less confidence in law
yers. That is one reason why their de
cisions are not ol toner reversed by tho
Superior Courts.
Will “Farmer” explain why Commis
sioner Henderson doesn’t subscribe and
pay for the Southern Cultivator instead
of political papers? If he is desirous of
obtaining information about farming,
and to get the farmers’ ideas and plans
of cultivation, effects upon soils, etc.,
it looks as if he would take agricultural
papers and periodicals. The idea of go
ing to the Macon Telegraph, Augusta
Chronicle, Atlanta .Journal and other
political newspapers for such informa
tion is too absurd for anything. Won
der what explanation “Farmer” can
make about the 85 paid by Henderson
for mounting the picture of “UncleRe
mus?” And I never knew that the State
owned house cuts until I came across
an item for hoard of same.
“Farmer” has great love for hi*
friend Jack and his pets, ami seems
worried because I don’t find fault with
the members of the Legislature also.
“Farmer” ha- been a member of the
Legislature and ought to know wheth
er t lie matters he complains of are true
or not, and whether there is any law
authorizing such expenditures. I have
no defense to offer for the extrava
gance or misdoings of the members of
the Legislature. If they do wrong it is
no reason why they should encourage
others in wrongdoing.
If the Department of Agriculture
doesn’t increase the cereal crops it
ought to he abolished; and so far as be
ing a protection to t lie farmers, I capi
tally doubt it. I think the farmers pay
more to keep the department up than
they derive from it m the way of profit
or experimental benefits. Kibbles.
