the class of men he wants. The State
and prisoner should have an equal num
ber of challenges, anu the tales jurors
should be drawn liy the court and not
be left to the selection of partisan
sheriffs. TJnder the law so modified it
would be hard for a man accused of
murder to get a majority of his perso
nal friends on the jury, whether lie had
ibe sympathy of the summoning officer
or not. The people are getting arous
ed, and if the laws are not better en
forced Lynch 1 iw will be inaugurated
in many portions of the State. God
forbid such a thing, and the necessity
for it.
The Gibson Case,
A Washington dispatch states that the
prominent republican leaders have re-
B0 lved that one hundred thousand dollars
shall be raised for the campaign iu Ohio
by assessing the employees of the Gov

The Sunny South is competing with
the Police Gazette. ■ It publishes por

Strong drink is the curse of Africa,
according to Mr. McKay, Missionary of

The. legislature had better let the Col-
quitt-Hill-Murpliy embrolio chap. The
people don’t want several more thous

its further agitation will not benefit the
political prospc cts of any of the parties
involved.
A body of armed men broke the jail

Lord Benconsfield is credited by a
Vienna paper with taking a curious di

Mr. Edison ueeds a laTge amount of

offers 520,000 for the discovery of a

that some of the prospectors will gain

Atlanta and Hacon have been spec

Wheat futures are about as uncertain

Has a lunatic any rights, or claims oU
humanity which the Legislature is
bound to respect? If so, instead of
wasting, the extra session in nninipor

The yellow fever has again broken
out in Memphis, and there has been
three deaths and several cases. Some
ten thousand of the citizens have left,
and a quarantine against Memphis has
been declared by. several cities in infec

declared the cases sporadic and not like
ly to spread, but the news causes the
most serious apprehensions wherever
the fever is likely to take a foothold.
The Democratic party of the Union
was never more solid than at present.
There are no breaches. Harmony
reigns in its councils and its ranks.
It has united upon the great principle
of free election?. Its missiou is to per

GibsoD, who murdered Goldman in
Macon last fall while frenzied with
drinking, has been acquitted by a Bibb
county jury, and the better people with
the exception of a few friends, are just
ly indignant. There is serious talk of
organizing a secret band of regulators
in Macon to deal with such cases. That
will be-resorted to, if courts and juries
continue thus to trifle with justice, but
it should be the last resort. At pres
ent we hope the people will content
themselves with following our advics of
last spring: “Carry a good pistol and
don’t hesitate to use it on the first ruffi
an or drunkard that assaults yon.” It
is reported that there were four men on
the Gibson jury who had been guilty of
homicide. Whether that is so or not,
the verdict is a license to murder, and
it is well for every good citizen to think
serioi s’y over the usual farces made of
criminal trials where the charge is mur
der.
Legal Advertising.—A proposition is
before the legislature to regulate the le
gal advertising of the different counties
in the State by requiring the county of
ficials to let out their advertising to the
lowest bidder ^ This is right .and prop
er, and we hope the bill will become a
law, with proper restrictions as to circu
lation and location of the competing pa
pers. It wifi doubtless secure a great
reduction iu charges,— in many coun
ties where comi e.ition is sharp making
the advertising fees merely nominal,
It will also make the newspapers more
independent of county officials, and do
away with many evils that now pre
vail.

Urged to do so by the inflammatory
harriiDgnc of an emissary from the
North, the negroes of Walker county
held a meiting and determim cl to re
fuse to work for less than one dollar and
a half a day. The LafayelteMessenger
thus tells how the strike ended: “A
citizen of this place made a trip to the
cove last week, and informs us that ho
passed, on the way there and back,
eight squads of harvest hands, number
ing from six to eighteen each, and on
inquby he found that the darkies had
been acting upon the resolution passed
at their meeting at this place, and had
bad been asking one dollar and fifty
cents perday, and refused to work for
less, consequently white men had been
employed at one dollar a day to do the
work, which has always been the cus
tomary price in this county. And thus
ends the first strike in wages in this
community.”
The attempt to abolish the State Ag
ricultural Department has failed in .the large gatherings,
legislature, The department is said to
cost the State 575.000 a year. If that
be so, we move it be abolished. We
want the legislature abolished every'year
or two for the same reason.
Friend Davis is pushing a bill through
the legislature to make banks and trust
companies forfeit both principal and
interest when they charge usury
Friend D. is down on usurers. But if
his proposition is good for the banks,
why not for individuals?
The papers that are loudest in tbeir
fulsome flattery of officials, get many
nice morsels of advertising. Let us
tickle each other.

no doubt it will lay the petition for re

should it pass the bill it will be held re
sponsible by the people for endorsing
Jones’ misdoings. Let the amount due
be collected and applied to the enlarge

The result of the vote iu Bockdale
county, last week, on the question of
abolishing fences for crops and fencing
stock instead, was the same as we sup
pose it will be wherever indiscriminate
voting on the question is allowed. The
consolidated vote for the county stood
—Fence 53S, No Fence 368—a majori
ty for fence at each precinct.
We have always heard it said that a
snake could net biie whilst under water,
bntit seems from the following from the
Dublin Gazette that is not tlie case
“a. negro bov. twelve years old, living
on Judge Wolfe’s plantation, a few
miles from town, while in bathing last
Saturday felt something bite his foot,
and on reaching down felt a large.moc-
casin. ' He was taken home and re
mained deathly sick until Monday
morning, when he died.

since
planting time.
Tneie will be, I snppose, from the
looks of corn now, a half crop made on
uplands. The bottoms are all right.—
On the uplands the fodder is burnt np
over half way up the slalk.
Some of our farmers say their crops
are fine although il has been so dry,—
cotfon small for the time of the year.
Notwithstanding the dry weather, it is
very pleasant in the day and more so
at night. We are not troubled with
that awful .little pe3t that you have
down in Houston, that comes around
your ear and calls you “cousin” when
yon are crazy to get to sleep.
Entonton is the county side of Put
nam county, a very pretty and thriving
little place, and has a population of
about 1500 inhabitants.
There is a considerable amount of
business done in the place by the mer
chants with the farmers. Ajjreat many
of our farmers have at last got to the
place where they can pay cash for what
they buy. They have come to the con
clusion that it is better to do without
than to go in debt. The stores are
mostly new, having been built of brick
since the lastburning. The people here
have suffered great losses since the war
by the works of incendiaries.
I find several people up here from
Southwest Georgia. Two of our most
most prominent lawyers are from S. W.
Ga.
Our little neighborhood had quite a
nice time on the-3rd inst. at Opposi
tion Academy. The programme for the
occasion was speeches, compositions, di
alogues, charades, and ended with
about a dozen babies crying.
We have a place up here by the
name of Devil's Half-Acre. The way it
got such a pretty name, so I have been
told, is this: Years ago it was danger
ous for a man to go to the place, for if
he did not get killed, he certainly would
get a flogging before he left. A Ken
tuckian once rode tw enty miles out of
his way just to see the place. Some
one asked him just before lie got there
if he was not going to spend the night
at the Acre. His reply was, “No, not
fer every mule in this drove.” Said he,
“I heard about this place before I left
home, and have ridden twenty miles
out of my way with this drove of mules
just- to see the place.” Since then it
has been filled with nice people and ev
erything passes off quietly, and it can
now be visited with safety.
We are to have a Sunday School cele
bration this week at Opposition Acade
my, if nothing turns up to prevent.
Oar anticipation is it will be a grand
success. The people up here make me
think of the people of old Houston in
ante-bellum days—that is tbeir disposi
tion and inclination to live sociable and
happy, were they able to do so without
going in debt. The rich and the poor
mingle together, it makes no difference
here, so you are respectable and hon
est. Labor is plentiful, and as a gen
eral thing the farmers control it very
well. They offer such wages as they
feel able to pay, and when Christmas
comes Cuffie is ready to hire again. As
a general tiling the negroes have some
money all along through the year.—
They keep it from Christmas until the
summer so they can dress and go to the
They try to excel
each other in dress.
There will not be muc h fruit in Mid
dle Georgia this year, owing to the late
frost that came in April, I snppose.
We have had some few melons. If
nothing happens, in the coursa of a
week or so they will be plentiful,
I hope that Houston will make good
crops this year, and her people will
once more be independent.
Yours truly,
Segdoh,
Entonton, Ga., July 8th, 1879.
PARAGRAPHS.
People read short paragraphs nowa
days and feel that they scarcely have
lime to tead so Htuch. Wherefore?—
Civilization begets both avarice and ex
travagance, and the sons and •daugh
ters of this generation must hurry up,
or get left, or both.
Also civilization begets opinions as
unlike as avarice aud extravagance.
Young civilization on the frontier
lynches a lior*e-tbief and tolerates a
bully. Old and elegant civilization Id
New England abhors all grades of hom
icide (away from home especially}, and
produces the most expert thieves cn
eaith.
Probably—as appearances indicate-^
thieves, in some instances, adopt their
profession because it places them in the
line of promotion, and the practice of
it prepares them for the customary
functions of .policemen and detectives.
There’s nothing like a proper early
training.
A Georgia planter ought to get elea:
onl of debt and stay out, even if he has
to work pretty hard and endure some
privations. It would be easier, cheap
er, and altogether better to keep up
than to keep one year behind. Inter
est is high enough, it seems, to turn
the heads of zealous law-makers, hut
verily the interest on money is a trifle
compared with the enormous usury on
corn and meat. Within the observa
tion of the writer a substantial farmer
needed certain supplies; the lowest time
prices of which aggregated 5210. He
borrowed the money, and by paying
cash for the eoods saved 540 over and
above the interest. He was advised to
this course by a business man who
thinks a legislator unwise, not to say
silly, who insists that money shall be
legally hampered while merchandise is
free to do its worst. Many borrowers
are responsible for usury, just as the
whisky buyers are responsible for the
liquor trade. Half tho w orld can’t see
it, although to think rationally is just
as easy as to think otherwise, if the
thinker is only willing. Men could
have much better sense than they seem
to have if they only wanted to. They
prefer to let others think for_them, and
are fools from pure laziness. Some
brains are as essentially inert a sa bladder
of putty. Peter Jeter,
