Council Adjourns, Wandering
Through, the Mountains.
Transcribed from a Soldier’s Diary for the
HOME JOURNAL.
july 13th I86L
Already, time aad again, Clint
Duncan had occnpied the. arena in
lawyer like astuteness, and had
poured out in subdued tones (we
were now afraid of oar friends—
thebnttalion) all the logic and elo
quence of which he was master, in
this, his early day of jurisprudence
or legaL inexperience; or in. his
pigeon wing- gesticulations seemed
likely, now and then to gain a fol
lowing, or decision in favor of his
version of direction to Cheat river,
Spurred on by the colic, or some
other unknown influence, he had
displayed even more than his usu
al vim and oratorical powers to
make out his case before the j ury
whom he vainly hoped could be
brought to a correct sense of their
(liis) understanding of the case,
but unfortunately as he set up one
peg here he conld not satisfactori
ly establish, another yonder, or in_
deed kicked down the first in his
scuffle to erect the second; or as
often lost ground on the other
hand from the hot shot of Zske
Ezell and the biting sarcasm of
Jim Sice in ridicule of his (ac
cording to their ideas) most ridic
ulous and incorrect arguments, or
again humiliatingly annoytd by
the sniggers of the other four, who
considered themselves very impor
tant factors, or, indeed, the jury to
finally pass upon their own safety
and that of the whole under the
charge of a court which they con
sidered either “dead drank’’ or
wholly incompetent to give them,
any law, to enlighten, in making
andything like a correct and safe
decision.
Ho precedent could be found of
a drunken court having been on
trial by the jury, or ngnin of a ju
ry upon trial by themselves; and
only lawyer an •' a: oner •

enough up in his profession or
mountain lore to straightenont the
muddle into which all had fallen.
A cat and monkey case was pat
ent to all, bat there^ seemed to be
six cats, and only one would be
monkey at a time, desiring to bal
ance the scales by eating up all the
cheese, and then, explaining that it
was a necessary expedient and the
only equitable adjustment that:
conld be obtained.
Zeke Ezell, however bad sprung
apparently to his (Duncan’s) res
cue, but pertinently in bis own. be
half, and had pawed both the
ground and,the air in his bombas

'felt he was entitled to grave con

ought to become the Moses to lead
us out of the wilderness and into
the promised land; but; somehow
or somehow else, all seemed to feel
that he was wanting in correct
“judgement,” or was more of a
Jonah, than a whal e.
Jim Bice, who also had taken his
turn more than once in the ring,
and in Eg measured, and precise
explo nations as to how we went or
came np the mountain, hustling
out of McClellan’s, way, aad then
around the battalion this way, and

he:
“You haven’t the sense of a

been used to a good advantage, and
floundering in yonrawu ignorance,
or with, yonr eyes closed, ’till yoa
really deserve to starve ns yonr
tracks, and the whole: of yon can.
go to thnnder.'
Every man, however, was yet
his own client, his own advocate,
and in his own way, fearing neith
er the courtaor his opponent.
It was felly understood that
time was precious; and each sol
dier now seemed almost tempted
to choke, the other beaatiae he conld
not induce him to see and accept
Cheat river in the same direction
he, himself, saw it.
Clint Duncan, like a gourd float
ing on ths water which pnshed
down as often pops np again, now
says:
“Yon all are ths greatest set of
gamps I ever saw in ail my life,
for so and so, and from that direc
tion we came np the mountain—
hence Cheat river is obliged to be
over yonder.”
Jim Bice, flashed with anger
and shaking his fist at Clint,
springs to his feet and. says: “Yon
are a miserable old goose yourself,
and I will leave it to the whole
crowd if yon’ve got a thimble fell
of sense) and yet yon expect ns to
fellow a mutton head to destruc
tion. Til be hanged if Cheat river
isn’t in just the opposite direction
von. say.
Zeke now comes to time and
blurts out that Clint and Jim are
both ignoramuses and don’t know
what they are talking about Says
he: “Cheat river is in this other
direction, nnrT yon fellows needn’t
nelieve one word theyhave said, for
in mv opinion, they are both oa
crazy as bed bugs.” -
Watt Bainey, as in half doubt,
now says: “I don’t agree with
any of yon, for in my opinion
Cheat river is in this other direc
tion, and fox the life of me I can’t
see how yon fellows have gotten
so mixed np in the matter.”
Lawrence Felder and Bill Bai
ney had given their opinion and
had'sliptin award now and then
through. Clint Zeke and Jim, as
opportunity offered, bat evidently
seemed to lean wife the four
against, the divided three.
Bat the conviction: now srems to
ettle alike on all that some other
plan must be adopted:to hnrmoo-
dagre*- i the con-‘•t? tei
taken. ;
We had sworn in the outset to
tand by each other at all hazards,
and no.amonnfeof wrangling or an
tagonism resultant from, dire ex
tremities, or in the settlement of
honest differences which imperil
ing the one involved the whole,
could possibly be of more -than
momentary duration; could possi
bly be more than a flash of anger
to pass almost with its coming, or
as a smile to follow a frown. The
love and devotion of the one sol
dier to the other in ell such dire
extremities cannot be more than
temporarily or momentarily shaken
much less destroyed;
Strong as. life itself and even
reaching beyond; in that the: one
is-often freely given to save the
other; or as a,whole to be placed;
on a common pyre together.
And while it is, true we had
soundly flayed and abused each
other, yet the moment conviction
had overtaken ns that nothing
could be accomplished; each re
turns to the otherin feelings ready
to shake hands and agree from
gome other direction and in some
way.
The collision with each other
h ad but served to rub the metal
out ofitha whole; or to bring them 1
to a. frame of mind open to calmer
consideration and concession the
one to the other, or again to more
felly realize that necessity helllthe
balance at power; with no option
left us in the deedaiou. to be made
and executed. /

.Arrived at Meansville Tlmrsday

Atlanta. Here I found some as
good water as doubtless conld be
found in fee state, and the climate
is healthy indeed. The doctors, If
there were ever any there, have ei

There are four business houses,
two general stores, one furniture

Mr. John Means lives here. He
is in his eightieth year, and is
young enough m his ways for a

We went to Warm Springs to
fee annual picnic on the fourth.
About six hundred people were
present.
A match game of ball was play
ed between Meansville and Jor
dan’s Stole; in which Meansville
came oat three ahead. A big rain
during the game caused many of
fee picticers to get drunk. Noth

Annie Howell on fee nose, leaving

July 6th, 1891-
efforts to control the- corporations
and prevent them passing into fee
hands of fee Wall street tyrant,
has had its eyes opened, and is
now clamoring for relief. The
particular cause of thealarm is fee
sadden and unjustified raising of
the tariff on coal, fee freight on
this commodity having been ad
vanced from twenty to fifty per
cent. This unjustified, extortion
will draw from, the city of Atlanta
more than $200,000, and front fee
state of Georgia fully a million of
dollars annually. This immense
amount of money goes into fee
railroad coffers and not to the own
ers of fee mines. The increase of
fee tariff will effect every commu
nity in the state, for in recent
years coal has been generally
adopted as a fuel both in fee vil-
lages and by many farmers living
near the railroad lines. No justi
fication is offered for fee extortion,
except the greed of fee corpora
tion. The Constitution says on toe
subject:
“We may as weli talk plainly
about this outrage. If fee railroad
extortionists think fee .people will
tamely submit to this thing; they
are sadly mistaken. It does not mat
ter that coal comes across the state
line and fee Georgia railroad com
mission cannot control the rates.
The Georgia legislature has other
ways of reaching the matter. Di
rectly or indirectly we have n rem-
Iikewise a bank president, for fee
purpose of getting from him some
corroboration of their views, feat
ferae-was a dearth of money in: the
country.
Stating Hieir hnsineai^f-he gpolsnB_
man said: “Isn’t fee crying need
of fee country for more maneytiie
present per capita circulation be
ing wholly inadequate to- fee re
quirements of business?”
The banker replied: “We have
an abundance of money; there is
more idle capital inMhis city than
ever before.”
Then why can’t the- people get
it?” asked fee spokesman-
Taking a one thousand dollar
bill from the cash drawer, fee
hanker staid: “ What have yon got
to offer in exchange for this? I
will give it to yon for one, thousand
bushels of wheat” 5o one re
sponded. “Then sell me one thou
sand bnshels of corn for it!’ A
shake of fee head by the spokes
man.
“Well; then, let me have 2,000
bushels of oats.” Still no reply.
“Cim any of you sell me 400 tons
of Bermuda grass-hay ?" 5one of
them had saved any hay. “I will
bay from any or all of you 13,000
pounds of meat” The offer was
not accepted. “Well, if youhavo
none of those products for sale
that all successfnl and prosperous
formers should always raise in
abundance to-sell, how would yon
formers get this $1,000 if there
were a billion in our safes?®’
“We '.vish to'borrow" it at a rea
sonable rate of interest and aniang
time;'’ said the spokesman. “On
vhat security ?” asked the banker.
“We each have an abundance of
the only security that a former can
offer, his lands,” replied fee seak-
Well, then,” said the banker,
‘•the security being ample, sup

Just such a reckless extortion as
this came near leading to fee dis
memberment of some of our great
corporations, and just sack extor
tion persisted in will rise a tide of
indignation which it will be im
possible to stem. These new coal
rates do not apply to Atlanta alone,
bat bear heavily upon fee people
of a large part of Georgia. We are
speaking not for Atlanta aliine, but
r Georgia. We have stood by
the railroola when we thought in
justice was about to be done them:
we stand by fee people when fee
railroads practice extortion.”
We are gratified to-'see this
change in the Constitution’s opin
ion of the benefits of railroad mo
nopoly. What was foretold by the i
advocates of railroad- regulation
two years ago is being verified.
The extortion on coal carriageis
but fee beginniimg of greater out
rages. Practically, fee railroads
have fee matter in their own
hands. Competition has been re
moved, and fee various lines which:
were a check to each other’s extor
tion, now play hand-in-glove to
gether. The people may as well
prepare for a course of bleeding
from this combination, unless
something is speedily done to -nul
lify fee absortion by one corpora
tion, wife headquarters in Wall
street, of fee various railroads in
Georgia. The Constitution is a
power in Georgia, and having re
alized fee soulless greed of fee
Terminal iniqnity,it is to behoped
it will posh the warfare against the
monopoly.
