Newspaper Page TextTHti CONYERS WEEKLY ' CONYERS GA., MAY 4TH, 1883. C """county court. We have talked with a large num¬ ber ot our people of late and find then almost unanimous for a County Court if it can be. established proper¬ ty. The plan upon whichihe one in H*my county is conducted seems to D0 most favorable/’ which is as fol lows: The coing has full civil jurist diction in the district wherein it is situated, but nothin the other dis¬ tricts, For instance if a party in Sheffield desired tc.sueliis neighbor he would be compelled to do so in i,is home justice court unless the amouut was over §50. That keeps the County Court from swallowing up all the civil business of the county and forces litigants to stay at home and not drag such other off to town -whether or not. In criminal cases all floes nd forfeitures goes into the county treasury and to county pur poses- The judge receives no costs or perquisites of any kind but receives a yearly salary parijlmonthly out of the couuiy funds. That such a court conducted on the al ove plan would save hundreds of dollars to our p> o jj!e annually, there can be no doubt. It would try hundreds of cases at a cost to the coumy of not more than $400 at the outside, while, if the cases were to go through the Superior Court, they would cost §2,000, or more. We know that the way our | County Court was formerly carried on it was very distastelul lo our people and very wrong- Butwitb a salaried iydge there will be no excuse or cause tor such unequal prefertheeB as werfe before given. It is to the interest of every tax payer to agitate this mats ter and let us have a County Court, If any one can raise any objection from to j I it we would be pleased tohear them. against self society and God. Prol.io: tiou, or tiie arbitrary, tyranical inter¬ ior dgj with ves el rights and the private life of individuals is odious and intolerable. Ijeuce prohibition, what* * good're’fiulfe it may promise at ever tile staff, is bound to bea,f&ilura. No humane law can be executed nuless tho pebple are abreast with them. It is not a crime to use stim* uhints.’ The crime comes in with the abuse. Hut the use of stimulants as practiced here generally is so dan* gerous, that abuse and all its dire j Ilenco consequences those only wild, too often asraodic lollow. leg¬ also sp islative enactments on our statute books. We have been led to this train of thoughts by perusing tiie decription ' of the Masonic banquet at Camden on i Saturday. There was lots of wine ,to. wash down the good things to eat. At the Garland banquet wine allowed most generously. It Joes so at every banquenl we read of, and there is always a minister on hand to ask a blessing, too. At the Presidents table six glasses for six different kinds of. trine are set before each guest. That’s all right. We- don’t object to .it. Wine is a gift of God, as well as the bread we eat and lie who remtunbers it, will not abuse His gift. But what we object lo is the outrageous hypocritical legislation on this drinking business it is all right for the rich mao to wash down his venson, oysters and turtle with burgundy and champagne after sharpening his appetite with un petit re: rede Cognac, but let a farmer or poor laborer, after plowi ng or splitting rails all dc till thesliirt sticks to his back and after drinking his belly full. ofinsipid, unwholesome creek water all day, feel th i want of a little stim¬ ulant in the evening, that would ward off sickness anil give him some little relish to tackle his splendid sup per of sowbelly and enrndoger—oh no, he can’t have it. There is a law forsooth, made by a lot‘of idiots Jh k sobering off from t^e effects of a banquet prayed over in due form, that makes it a crime to sell whiskey, wine or beer ih bis neighborhood.— Ft. Smith New Era. FROM BEAUREGARD. Mr. Henry Hollingsworth writing to his parents here says: I ought to feel thankful that I am able to write to you. Tlie cyclone here beat anything 1 ever passed through. I was right in its center but did not get a hurt. Our store was blown fiat to the ground. There were 75 or 80 houses blown down here, and some of them blown literally blown away. It came on us about 3 o’cl'ck in the evening. I was lying down in my rtom, having been asleep. It g°tt<* thundering and f went^ut to look at the cioud and just »s I got to the door there were six or eight heavy peals of'thunder and I heard the cyclone coming. First thought it was tho train but soon saw it was in the elements. I ran for the cut at the railroad and as I got there saw it coming scattering timber and houses. I looked to be crushed but come out all right. It lasted ab rat one minute, and then I got up and found the telegraph operator in four feet of me, both arms broken, having been blown iOOfeet. I took him in my arms and carried him up the embankment and to a room. I worked till 11 o’clock at night in the rain without coat or hat. Many fami¬ lies had everything blown away, even tlieir clothes being torn off them. There were about 20 killed here and several more have since died. There is but one store here. H. M. Holligsworth.

O. SEAMaNS, Feb 2, 3iu. Ord’y Communicated, From Honey Creek. Our farmers are working hard and if Godwill smile 011 us this year we will soon be all right. We ought to thankful to God for the oullo k no w. Our church at Honey Creek is in a flourshing condition. Our Sabbath school is growing constant¬ ly. We desire to thank the bffelUreu of all denomination’s lor their fibers ality towards us, the good Methodist and Presbyeriaus especially.'- They* have all come up like men. Wo will have a good house of worship soon. We have about $300 made up now, and we feel satisfied we can build ea.rily. Everything seams to be governed by human nature. It is just as easy for some people to quarrel as it is for water to run down fctiaam. There ave some folks, w ho it they could not talk about people, could not live, for it is human nature, I knew a woman once, who, every time they went to eat, she threw the cups and pla'es at her husband’s head, but he had to let her alone as it was human nature. Young folks, old folks, wid¬ ows and widowers all marry but it is human nature. The world is gov*, erutd by hum-ah nature tbo’ some people are pxcetHiona to the rule and show more hag'.vMti human. K.
