A Serious Accident.
We regret to learn that Mr. James Wil
son, one of our mogt prominent citizens,
was shot by an accidental discharge of his
son’s gun while deer driving on Thursday
last. The facts, as we gather them, are as
follows: After the drivo had ended and
they were mounting their horses, the ham
mer of youug Mr. Wilson’s gun struck
the horn of hie saddle and fired, almost
the entire load passing through his fath
er's clothes in front of his breast, one of
the shots passing under the skin across his
breast, and one through his hand. Dr. E.
A. Jelks was immediately sent for, who
¥ ivh the wound, though painful, is by no
means dangerous.

Report of Ih>n. K. R. Harden.
We call spccia, attention to the report
of Hou. E. R. Harden, Judge of the
County Court of Brooks county. This re
port is from the records, and is perfectly
reliable, and published that every citizen
may understand the financial condition of
his county. It is a fact, if there be truth
in figures, that the County Court system
is a financial blessing. It certainly cannot
be a curse, when the figures irrefutably de
monstrate the truth that it is not only self
supporting, but is an actual source of in
eomo to the county. Our citizens can no
longer complain of burthensome taxation
—only 15 per cent, on the State tax. Less
than it has ever been since the war.

We Don’t Think it’s Right.
If poor, deluded Sam pnngentlv feels
1 hia own degradation, and is satisfied
that ho is unworthy to associate with white
1 people, and in his extremity seeks, under
I the cover of night, the society of the ne
groes in their political mid other organiza
tions and associations, and they are willing
to elevate him to a level with themselves
and gjve him equal rights and privileges
iu their meeting, viz: to speak, counsel,
advise remonstrate and admonish, become
excited and sing with them, and mingle
with them in the inflation of the atmos
phere, the odors of his breath tuul pestif
erous person, which is equal, if not supe
rior to theirs, in point of indelicacy. And
when ho is thus aspiring, and climbing up
to a level with the black man, to be at
tacked by direct thrusts and inuendocs
aud handled with gloves oil', as brother
Bennett of the Banner does,
we don’t think it’s right.
The black people are confiding, gener
ous and sympathetic, and are easily mis
led by false friends and false promise; and
after they have been from time to time in
jured aud deceived, they are still the sub
jects of the same frauds and deceptions.
When they have conformed to the im
pulses of their nature, mid elevated a
poor, degraded white wretch to an equal
ity with themselves, and then to abuse the
recipient of their sympathy and munifi
cence, smiles mid favors, as the Banner
docs,
we don't think it's right.
When a white skinned rnttu, from his
natural organization and conformation,
and native instincts, as developed in early
life, is incapable of deceiving and swind
ling his own color, and when his only re
sources arc to deceive the more confiding
and less suspecting race by obtaining their
dollars, halves aud quarters under the pre
tence of procuring arms and uniforms for
a military company; and just when his
swindling scheme is about to culminate;
for the Banner, iu a most unrighteous
manner to warn the black people of the
delusion and false promises, ami by way
of comparison, which is conclusive, refer
to the false promises of the mule and
forty acres of land, and thereby crippling
his prospect of Radicalizing the negro out
of his money, thus cutting off this legiti
mate source of his revenue,
we don’t think it’s right.
If it is the purpose and intention of the
Radicals to deceive and swindle the ne
groes out of their votes and hard earned
money, and the negro loves the deception
and fraud, and then for the Banner to in
terfere and try to deprive the one of the
pleasure and the other of the privilege,
we don’t think it's Kiuirr.
The negro won’t believe you brother
Bennett, ami the Radicals won’t desist un- j
til they get all the poor darkie’s sweat,
so let “nm" lip brother Bill, aud don’t
interfere, for !
WE don’t think it’s eight.
But when it's too late, and all warnings
have failed, and the poor negro is home- ;
less, friendless and penniless, griped with 1
luiugci, and hnezutg with cold, will) a sad ■
heart, in the language of despair, he w ill
exclaim: “I vm win net and heeded it Lot ;
they have deceived me, betrayed my con
fidence and robbed me of my money,
and
“i don’t think it’s right.”
Now, in conclusion, we propose to the
black men to make one test of the friend
ship of these infamous vultures that are
preying upon your credulity and sub
stance. When you gi t into difficulties
and need help don’t go to the Democrats,
in whom you have no confidence and can't
be convinced that they are your friends;
but go to your scalawag brothers, whom
you believe in all things, and who profess
such warm friendship for you, and teil
them you are in trouble, and that you
want money to pay a lawyer to defend you
and see that you get justice in the courts;
tell them you can’t get a lawyer without i
money, and they- must let you have it, anti
sec if they don't tell you
“i don’t think it’s right.”

A 1,1 vf Radical in Town.
We saw on the streets yesterday a Mr.
Goodrich, from New York, a lawyer by
profession, and, we believe, an ex-member
of Congress, and an open and avowed
Radical and unifieator. Returning from
Savannah a few weeks ago, we conversed
with him for a little while on the carat in
which conversation ho expressed himself
freely in reference to the political status of
the country, denouncing Grant afid liis
Administration in unmeasured terms, and
we endorsed it. Then we talked of poli
tics in the South. We denounced carpet
baggers and scalawags as the cause of our
political and financial troubles, in our reli
gious way- of talking about that class of
individuals, and he endorsed it all. Then
his unification proclivities led us into a
brief discussion of negro equality. He
insisted that churches, hotels, theatres,
steamboats and railroad ears should be
open and free to all alike, with no distinc
tion as to the seats—till sitting together!
He admitted that it was wrong in princi
ple, but correct in policy; for then, said
he, you gain their confidence and can vote
(hem as you please. We told him that
Southern people had no disposition to de
ceive the negro, and that they would never
abandon a principle for a contemptible
policy. We then asked him if he wits to
enter a car with his daughter, a young and
beautiful girl, if he would lie satisfied for
her to take a seat by a big, black field
hand? he replied that he would, and be
glad of it. He further said: “Were I to
come in with my daughter and she would
take a seat by yarn, I would feel honored,
because I believe she would bo well enter
tained; but were she to take a seat by a
black mqn I would feel much prouder, for
that would bo an evidence that she was
overcoming her prejudice.” Personally
we this maD no harm and certainly
! none to his daughter, but hope if he pov
! sists in the gratification of his unification
, desires, aud forces upon the delicacy and
i innooouey of his daughter such unnatural
aim obnoxious associations, and thereby
subdues her sense and pride of superi
ority, and overcomes her prejudice to in
feriority, that liis pride may be elevated to
its highest altitude as early as practicable,
by a sweet potato colored institution in
his family, with a nice little crop of wool—
the place where the hair ought for to
grow—and that it may be as sweet as
a smell melon to his olfactories. We pre
sume that lie will impress the minds of
his brethren with this doctrine, aud that
I their tables will be spread, and their arms
i aud doors will be opened for the reception
of their colored brethren into full social
unification communion.

County Court lit j>uit.
(Quitman, Ga, August 2(5, 1873.
Rditor Independent:
I beg to submit a comparative statement,
procured at some considerable trouble, and
prepared with great caution, and I will
vouch for the correctness of the same if
the court records where they weie ob
tained are correct. This comparison is in
stituted with a view to ascertain from fig
ures the results arising from the operations
of tlie County Court system. 1 have token
the first of January, 18(58, as a starting
point, and pursued this record until Juno
Ist, 1872, when the County Court went
into operation in Brooks county.
First, then, as to the per cent, of assess
ment for county purposes upon the State
tax for 18(58, 18(59, 1870, 1871, 1872, and
1873:
1888, 65 per cont.; 50 per cent; 1870, 80 i
percent.; 1871, 100 per cent.; 1872, 100 per cent;
1878, 50 per cent.
Second, as to jail foes:
1808, $516 58; 1801), fctvlS (K; 1870, $412 00; 1871,
$2,001 40; up to Jude Ist, 1872, 522 GO; total,
SO,BIB 12.
From Juno Ist, 1872, when the County
Court went into operation, to January
Ist, 1870 '.s 90 75
From January Ist, 1870, to August lOth,
1870, including s+o paid for nursing
Alice Barker, lunatic, before she coulu
be sent to the asylum 121 85
Total $212 10 j
Making the total jail fees for the 14%
months the County Court lias been run
ning $212 10 |
An average per month of fit GO since the j
County Court has been iu operation,against an av- j
erage of $72 04 per month for the 13 months ini- ;
mediately preceding its organization. A nett
saving or $57 41 per month, or S6BB 92 a year.
The salary of the County Judge as follows:
From December Ist, 1872, to May Ist, 1873.
at SSO per month, G months SOOO 00
From Iht June, 1873, to August 16th, 1873,
at SOO GG per month, 2% months IGG 05 j
Total S4GG 65 i
County Court costs and tines from Decem
ber Ist, 1873, to August 16th, 1873 $507 00 j
This goes into the County Treasury; and it will :
thus he seen that for the hiHt 8* a mouths, besides j
what the Comity Court lias saved in jail fees, it :
has yielded to the county, over and above the
salary of the County Judge, for tho above men- .
tinned period, the sum of S4O 25.
Then as to the county indebtedness:
In June Ist, 1872, date of organization of
County Court, the debts of the county
amounted in round numbers to $9,000 00 j
Paul for tin- turnpike ami bridges 2,990 00 ,
Paid for the Johnson’s bridge 1,500 00
Kedeemed county scrip 4,290 00 •
I'he nett county tax of 1872 amounted
according to Treasurer’s report tome.. 7,926 00 1
Thu county money, the Johnson’s
bridge, and tho turnpike cost 8,700 00 1
lu addition to them , wen* paid in other
orders, jurv cert ideates, costs, Ae.,
about, . ‘ 960 00
The present indebtedness of the county
at ibis date is 5,200 00 j
A reduction of the debt, with one year
j taxes and sale of county bonds of 8,800 Ou j
i The grand ami petit jurors for November court, j
1872, were all paid in greenbacks, and about one j
j dollar per diem, year round, in cash, paid to pan- j
: pers, with public buildings in first rate order, and ,
! tax for 1873 for county purposes reduced to 15 pel j
cent, cm State tax.
No Hon ting debt.

Mississippi Troubles.
A corruspondont of the Memphis Appeal,
; writing from Grenada on tho morning of
! the 16th inst. says: “A train filled with
i blacks came into Grenada this morning at
! eight o’clock. I enquired ns to the occa-
I sion of this convocation, but none could
| tell. The conductor said that some secret!
1 benevolent (?) black body was gathering j
| its forces for some purpose unknown to the |
' public.” This correspondent gives a tom- j
j Me picture of the coming political canvass: ■
“There are secret associations of blacks ,
; everywhere. They dress and are drilled
;ns soldiers. Every negro is armed cap-a- |
j pie. In every cabin there arc guns and
; pistols and knives. They are solidly, coui
i pactly organized in outright declared par
j tisan hostility to whites. In politics their
. single guiding principle of action is, oppo
sition to the white race. The alarm at
Grenada this afternoon grew out of this
j simple fact, which the people pefftctlv
| comprehend. And this is the beginning,
murk you, of a political campaign—the
significant preface, the trifling prelude.
| If Alcorn comes forth, as he must, or he
| is forever undone, deeds of violence will
be numberless, and a greater degree of
j excitement will characterize tho contest
■ than has been known for years. Each
neighborhood has its leader, and so of
i each county and district, and if these au
| tocraU pronounce uguinst Alcorn or Ames,
j reason and interest.and common souse will
| interpose objections iu vain."
Of the temper of tho whites, he says:
“Tho oldor people whom I encountered
have lost both partisan and self-confidence.
Their spirits are broken. They are dis
posed to regard each evil which threatens
i them as inevitable, and bow their necks
meekly to the negro yoke. Such a slmtne
! fnl paralysis has seized many aged Missis
sippitms, aud tho younger are so victimized
' by prejudices and so resolved to do what
is unwise, because wise policy does not
\ comport with a lofty, exaggerated sense of
' honor, that any desirable solution of pend-
I ing questions cannot be anticipated. Ames
■ and Ben Butler will seize and plunder the
State. There is no present help for it.
Tho only recourse tho people have is in
Alcorn and tho politicians. * * * The
only recourse left this people consists, I
atn grieved to say, in the election, as Al
corn proposes, by the whites and negroes,
of all u n mill 1 turn tod negro ticket. Let it be
black as Erebns from stem to stern, from
alpha to omega, blacker than the nether
extremity of midnight, and Ames will go
down iu darkness so profound that Butler
will cock his eye in vain to discover tho
bottom of the fathomless abyss of black
oblivion into which the prim son-in-law
will have disappeared. The black ticket—
coal black—can alone restore the fortunes
of the State anil save it from the dutches
of a body of thieves as depraved as tho
worst pro-consul that ever robbed and de
stroyed a Roman province or gave terrors
to the agents of the Hliuli."
A Virginia woman thus advertises her
husbuud in the Richmond Enterprise: She
says he left her about two months ago in
company with one Manila Wyriok, who,
she believes, “conjured or bewitched” him
by givfng him a “cup of coffee to drink
upon the top of which she saw n blue gloss
swimming.” They were accompanied by
her son “Boz, who left a wife aud three
children.” The deserted matron says: “I
want A. J. arrested and handcuffed if nec
essary, and brought back to me dead or
alive, as he owes a good many debts that
he must pay, aud he owes me a support in
my old age.”
The man who raised a cabbage head has
done more good than all the metaphysicians
in the world.”
