An error In the calculations of tbe
Commissioners in regard to Court
House improvements was discovered
yesterday afternoon, and was the sub
ject of much comment.
It seems that $100 should have been
the basis of the calculations instead of
$1,000, so the mistake reduces itself to
an oversight in locating the deoimal
point. Based upon $100 an annual tax
of 12)4 cents would give the amount
required as estimated in the calcula
tions made yesterday. This Inoludes
interest on the principal, as the annual
amount thus accruing would amount
to over $400 more than the amount re
quired to pay the principal.
The disoussion on the streets yester
day in regard to the matter was varied
and interesting. One wealthy citizen
remarked that he merely signed the
petition because he thought the pro
posed improvements unnecessary at
the present time. “But,” said he, “I
really have no opposition to the action
of the Commissioners, and will do as
much as any man in the county to
help towards the progress and enter
prise of the city or county.”
The lawyers say that the legal point
has not yet been decided among them.
Capt. Wooten, however, believes that
it is only a question of Improvements,
and that the Commissioners have a
perfeot right to take action in the
matter, as the question is not one of
issuing bonds. He thought the mere
construction of a gallery in the court
room would be worse than useless, and
would be a wasteful expenditure of
publio money.
On the other side of the question,
however, as the Herald Is inolined to
present both sides, a lawyer, well-
known throughout the county and
State, who has been practicing law In
the present Court House for many
years, has tills to say:
“I am opposed to any such action on
the part of the Commissioners. I have
been practicing law in the present
Court House for years, and have found
it not only amply BUfHoieht for all
needs of the county, but as plensant a
building for the purpose as can be
found in the State. Neither dol think
that the matter should be left to a vote
of the county, as has been suggested
but It is a matter that the tax-payers
ought to have a right to settle, and not
the great mass of voters who do not
own a dollar’s worth of property. To
build a palace would only be to
encourage tramps and vagabonds to
congregate there. I think the grand
jury Is the proper authority to take
this matter in hand, and until they
make recommendations for improve
ments I do not sec wlint authority the
Commissioners have to act. The bur
den of the waterworks debt is on us
any how, and it will have to be paid at
one time or another.
“I will admit, however, that the
grand jury needs n larger room. That
is a necessity, and the only one that I
can see. But as for going $20,000 in
debt, the county can’t stand It at tills
time. This is the ground of my oppo
sition to the improvements.”
This is the way'the matter stands
now from both points of view. The
requisite tax, however, is a very small
one, notwithstanding the error in cal
culations, and it is to be hoped that
the proper authorities will see lit to
make all needed improvements.
News comes from Cumberland of the
pleasant time which the Albanians are
enjoying on that island. .*
The party, consisting of Mesdames
Hobbs, Tift,Lookett and Jones, Misses
Mamie Tarver, Mela Outliif, Benie
Woolfolk, Annie and Coka Hobbs, and
little Maohelle Tioknor; Messrs. R.
Hobbs, Tift, Jones, Lookett, Jerry and
Agnew Hilsnmn, and Richard Hobbs,
left Albany last Monday at 1:30 a. in.,
and, after a pleasant trip, reached
Cumberland at 9:80 that night.
The party enjoyed a delightful trip
on the boat from Brunswick over
to the Island, and, later, were joined
by Messrs. Shackelford, Clayton and
Weston.
The time has been most pleasantly
spent in Ashing, surf-bathing and
dancing, in which they indulged in
the evening’s after tea. The surf
bathing has been one of the greatest
pleasures of the visit, and very muoh
enjoyed by the ladles of the party.
Continuing, our correspondent says:
“You must ask Capt. Hobbs why he
fishes for crabs with his middle finger,
and who told him to turn the crab
loose, for the Captain seemed to take
special delight in this kind of sport.
The ladies will talk while surf-bath
ing, and, as a consequence, they drink
sea water as an appetizer."
After a few more days of fun, fish
ing and surf-bathing, the part# will
return to Albany, reudy again for bus
iness ns of old.

A Great Pecnlinrllr of the Negro Rnce.
There Is a trait of character about
the Negro wliioh, though one of many
peculiarities, is one never found so
fully developed in any other race of
civilized people.
It is a habit they have of quarreling,
getting into.rows, making life a bur
den for an enemy for a short while,
and then quiokly getting over all evil
feelings, becoming reconciled, and for
a time continuing good friends.
Never is there a gathering of darkies
but what some instances of this Bort
occur. A disinterested person can
stand nside and watch the progress of
a misunderstanding between two or
more darkies. Some friend (?) goes
cautiously from one to the other re
peating to Bill what John has said,
and visa versa, gradually fanning the
embers of discord into wliat often gets
to be a llame of terrible passion, and
ends in bloodshed. But whether or
not this latter happens, there is almost
sure to be a speedy reconciliation.
The women are far worse at this
than men. They are continually en
gaged In petty quarrels, and are the
most fertile persons imaginable in in
venting hard things to say when show
ering tirades of abuse on the heads of
those who have Incurred their ill will.
Verily, they are a peculiar race, aud
it Is almost an impossibility to thor
oughly understand their nature.
Rack In Blc Old Place.
Mr. T. P. Green, the job printer, is
back in Ills old place at the Herald of
fice, and has charge of the job rooms.
Here is where he belongs—the place
where the people know and like him
the best, and here will his friends and
former patrons find him ready to serve
them in the future as in the past.
Ther Bad Flak (or Urcultfnat.
A well known sportsman of the city,
who prides himself on his skill in en
ticing the finny tribe from their native
element, and who, by the way, is a
very good hand to get away with his
share of the juicy meat when cooked,
was considerably chagrined recently
by a little incident that happened, as-
follows.
On a certain day in the early part of
tbe week the aforesaid gentleman hied
himself to a neighboring pond where
fish were reported abundant, and after
some fine sport returned home after
dark with eight large trout and a jack.
The fish were all cleaned and put away
in the refrigerator, it being the inten
tion of the gentleman to send some of
the fish to his friends next morning,
and still have enough left for several
meals.
Now it happened that a new cook
was in charge of the kiteken, and she
knew nothing of the customs of the
household about disposing of fish when
there were more than enough for one
meal. So, when the family, consisting
of three persons, sat down to breakfast
next morning, what was their conster
nation and chagrin to be greeted with
about a bushel and a-half of flsb, piled
up on several large dishes. Tbe cook
had cooked them all, and there were
enough for the biggest family in Al
bany. The book will doubtless receive
instructions about cooking tbe fish
next time Sir Nimrod goes angling.

II Was Political.
As the Hkrald predicted, the Alli
ance gathering at Mt.Horeb in Worth
county, though announced as a social
meeting, took on a political hue.
Several speeches were made, Walker,
ofMcDuflle, and Piokett announcing
Third Party principles and Alliance
twaddle, while Democracy as enunci
ated by Col. W. N. Spence brought a
good many of the would-be Democrats
into line.
Aboot 1,200 cars of watermelons
have gone North via the Central this
season.
In front of the stores watermelons
are displayed by the dozens, but Ne
gro customers soon clean them up.
Chapes continue to come in from
the country in great quantities. The
Concords, those large black fellows,
are the most common, and they are
certainly fine fruit. The thrifty
housewife puts them to good use, by
jellying and otherwise preparing
them.
There is to be a mile race next
month at the Fair Ground race track,
between the bay trotting horse owned
by Messrs. Wm. Godwin & Son, and
the sorrel owned by Mr. Sam Farkas.
The owners of the respective animals
are now engaged every day in train'
ing them for the contest.
Mb. W. R. Johnston and a few other
all-wool, yard-wide Democrats from
Willingham, were in the city to-day,
and they say that old Worth is not yet
ready to be turned over to Third
Partyism or to Candidate Stevens.

From Fridny’a Evknikq Hkrald.
There will be no trouble about rais
ing funds for improvements on the
Court House.
A few facts and figures will con
clusively demonstrate this proposition.
The amount of the taxable property
of Dougherty county, exclusive of the
railronds, is assessed at $3,685,000.
The annual inoome from this, at the
rate of .0192 per cent., is $17,688.20.
Add to this the county tax on the
railroads according to the Glenn bill,
amounting to $2,192.02, and the total
annual Income of the county reaohes
$19,830.22.
No dlssatisfaotion has been mani
fested at the present rate of taxation,
aud when it is taken Into considera
tion that the tax assessments through
out the State have been Increased by
$40,000,000, it will be seen at once that
the reduction of State taxes contin
gent thereupon will almost if not quite
make up for the small per oapita
addition necessary for the improve
ment of the Court House.
WHAT MR. TARVER SAYS.
Mr. II, H. Tarver, chairman of the
Board of County Commissioners, stated
this morning to a Herald reporter
that the oost of improvement would in
no case exceed $20,000, and would very
probably come muoh under those
figures.*
Snid he: “What the Commissioners
propose is just this: To pay for the
building In five years, making five
$4,000 payments. Now, a tax of 12)4
cents on $1,000 will give us sufiloieut
funds to pay the principal and inter
est for a year and have a small sum
left over besides.
“But that is a very liberal state
ment,” said he. The estimate of $20,-
000 includes the total oost, internal as
well as external improvements. In
case there were no reduotlon in the
State taxation, and such a reduotlon
will in all probability be made, the
purchase of furniture and heatlngap'
paratus migbt.well be postponed for a
year or two^thus making the burden
still lighter on the oounty.
“Another faot to be taken Into con
sideration is that the total expendi
tures of the oounty will fall far short
of the Income from taxation, for be
sides the shortened term of holding
the Superior Court, there are several
other ways in which expenses could
be lessened.
“All these facts considered may bring
the cost of improvements far below
that estimate, so much so that the tax
required will probably fall far shdrt
even of 12*4 cents on $1,000.
“No, I don’t know exactly what
action the Commissioners will take,
but If the people will carefully
consider the above faots and figures
1 n regard to taxation and small esti
mated cost of Improvements, it seems
to me that they would not hesitate an
instant in regard to whether the Court
House should be Improved or not.”
THE COUNTY NEEDS IT.
There is no doubt but that the coun
ty is in need of a Court House which
shall be a decided improvement on the
present building.
It will be seen from the above state
ment of Mr. Tarver, a member of the
board of County Commissioners, how
small the cost would really be. It
could not cost a single citizen who
owned $1,000 worth of property, at the
outside more than 12% cents annually,
for not more than five years; 82)4
cents then is the sum total of the cost
to a man owning that much property,
to be paid in yearly installments of
12)4 cents.
It was the opinion of several gentle,
men, seen on the streets this morning,
that the majority of the people in the
county around, favored the action of
the Commissioners, and greatly de
sired to see the improvements go on,
One gentleman said that he thought
most of the opposition came from the
city where a good part of the valuable
property was owned by a few.
Bring it down to a matter of county
pride, Amerious above us has a Court
House which cost $36,000, a jail costing
$26,000, and a hotel which is valued at
$140,000. Dawson’s Court House cost
$40,000, and even Camilla paid $20,000
for hers.
Why, then, should not Dougherty,
with a large and growing county seat,
spend a few thousands in the con.
struction of a building which would
be a pride to the olty of Albany?

Our Stupendous Water System.
The traveler embarking upon a
steamboat can sail from Pittsburg.
4,300 miles, to Fort Benton. Mon.,
and from Minneapolis, 2,200 miles,
to Port Eads, on the Gulf of Mexico.
Should he chooso to extend his voy
age to the head of navigation upon
its forty-five navigable tributaries
his outward journey would exceed
18,000 miles, through twenty-three
states and territories of tho Union.
This stupendous water system is
equivalent to a land locked harbor,
on estuary, or an arm of the sen,
penetrating into the North American
continent farther than from New
York to Liverpool, with a const line
of 82,000 miles, having hundreds of
populous towns and cities and in
numerable ports and havens from
which the agricultural and manu
fnctured products of one-third of the
arable surface of tho United States
can be shipped to all ports of the
globe.

COOPER AND WORDSWORTH*
An Iat.rvl.tr with th. Af.tl Pori a Tmw
V.ar. Il.fore HI. Death.
Thomas Cooper, the veteran chartist,
who has received a grant of £300 from tbe
Civil List, had, on one occasion, a very
interesting interview with Wordsworth
at Rydal Mount. Cooper had been at
Carlisle and started on a walk through
the Lake country.
It was on the third day after leaving
Carlisle that Cooper arrived at Rydal
Lake. He was very anxious to see
Wordsworth and have a talk with him,
but, not knowing the poet and having
no introduction, was rather doubtful as
to what the nature of his reception might
be. But, summoning nil the courage at
his command, he boldly strode np to the
poet's door and knocked.
In reply to an inquiry he was told that
Wordsworth was at home; so he wrote

It will be found advantageous to

High He clod Shoe* for Angels.
Somebody having been poking fun
at the wooden angel on the old Uni
versalist church spire at Bath, Me.,
•because it wore high heeled shoos,
recalls this story: The Rev. Dr. El
lingwood, of the North Congrega
tional ohurch, meeting Mr. Anthony
C. Raymond, a devoted Universalist,
asked, ‘‘Mr. Raymond, did you ever
see an angel with high heeled shoes
on his feet?” “Well, no,” rejoined
Mr. R., “I can’t say that I ever did:
but did you ever see one without
them?’’—Bath (Me.) Enterprise.
irgatory of Suicides,’
desires to pay his devout regards to
Wordsworth.” In a very few minutes
he was in the presence of the “majestic
old man,” and was bowing with deep
and heartfelt homage when Wordsworth
seized his hand and welcomed him with
such a hearty “How do you do? Iam
very happy to see you,” that Cooper says
the tears stood in his eyes for joy.
Nothing Btruek Cooper so muoh in
Wordsworth’s conversation as his re
mark concerning chartism—after the
subject of Coopor’s imprisonment had
been touohed upon. “You were right,"
Wordsworth said; “1 have always said
the people were right in what they asked;
but you went the wrong way to got it.
There is nothing unreasonable in your
charter. It is tha foolish attempt, at
physical force for which many of you
have been blamuble.” By and by tho
conversation drifted to other subjects.
There was but one occasion, Buys
Ooopor, on which I discerned the feeling
of jealousy in him; it was when I men
tioned Byron. “If there wore time,” he
said, "1 could show you how Lord
Byron was not so great a poet as you
think him to be—but never mind that
now.” I had just been classing his own
sonnets and “Childo Harold” together
as the noblest poetry since "Paradise
Lost,” bnt did not reassert what I said.
“I am pleasod to find,” he said, while
talking about Byron, “that you preserve
your muse chaste and free from rank
and corrupt passion. Lord Byron de
graded poetry in that respect. Men’s
hearts are bad enough. Poetry should
refine and parity their natures, not
make them worso.”
Wordsworth's opinion on Tennyson is
interesting. Cooper asked the poet what
his opinion was of the poetry of the day:
“There is littlethatoan be called high
poetry," Wordsworth said. “Mr. Ten
nyson affords the richest promise. He
will do great things yet, and onght to
have done great things by this time."
"His sense of musio,” 1 observed,
“seems more perfect than that of any of
tho now race of poets." -
"Yes," Wordsworth replied) "the per
ception of harmony lies in the very es
sence of the poet’s naturg, and Mr. Ten-
nyson gives magnificent proofs that be
is endowed with it.”
WordBworth spoke of Southey in the
highest terms, and again reverted to
politics. "There will be great changes
on tho Continent," he said, "when the
present king of tho French dieB, hut
not while he lives. The different gov
ernments will have to give constitutions
to their people, for knowledge is spread
ing, and constitutional liberty is sure te
follow." Wordsworth also alluded to
the spread of freedom in England, and
descanted with animation on tho growth
of mechanics’ and similar institutions.
“The people are sure to have the fran
chise,” he said with emphasis, ‘fa* knowl
edge increases; hut you will not get all
you soek at once, and yon must never
seek it again by physical force,” he
added, turni-g tome with a smile; "
will only make you longer about it."-

Falling from a Groat Height.
It will be remembered that Mr.
Whymper, who had a severe succession
of falls once in the Alps, without losing
his consciousness, declares emphatically
that as he bounded from one rock to an
other ho felt absolutely no pain. The
same thing happens on the battlefield:
the entrance of the trallet into the body
Is not felt, and it is not till he feels the
blood flowing or a limb paralyzed that
the soldier knows he is wounded.
Persons who have had several limbs
broken by a fall do not know which limb
is broken till they try to rise. At the
moment of a fall the whole intellectual
activity is increased to an extraordinary
degree. There is not a trace of anxiety.
One considers qnickly what will happen.
This is by no means the consequence of
“presence of mind,” it is rather the
product of absolute necessity. A solemn
composure takes possession of the vic
tim. Death by-fall is a beautiful one.
Great thoughts fill the victim’s soul
they fall painlessly into a great bine sky.
