OLDEN TIMES IN EAEALSON.
BY COL. (’. .1, JtfilAN.
1 loft Undo George anrl Indian Wash
running down the big road.
“Well, Uncle George, when you hoard
the people yelling I guess you tried your
best, didn’t you?”
“Well, I should soy so. Indian Wash
gave three long jumps and landed squ tre
ly abend of me. I could feel the hair
rising straight on my head. I got right
close to the ground and fairly flew. Now
we were side by side. The people on
each side of the road looked like fence
pickets. Tiro ground seemed fairly slip¬
ping from under me. Directly 1 caught
Wash's feet flying mighty wide and I
reared around to one side. #1 was afraid
Jio w ould trip me. I set my teeth hard
together, for I heard him breathing like
a file rasping steel. I had let myself out
next to the last buckle, and when we got
in about 2T> yards of the post I let up the
to the last hole. I doubled niv
jiimp and landed six feet ahead of Wash,
T heard him say, Ugh! and I knew I had
him, for he was at bis best. He died
hard for lie knew his friends had b e
their all on him, audit would bo a black
lettev day to him. Summoning all the
strength I possessed I made the last
three jumps which sent me just thirteen
feet ahead at the finish. I never will for
get the look of pain and mortification de¬
picted on Wash's countenance. He look¬
ed like he had lost all his family. I was
picked up and hundreds of yelling friends
put mo on their shoulders and carried ir e
up and down the road. They hugged me
and cried and hallowed until hoars.’.
It was the grandest race 1 ever run and 1
was pioud of it, for I tail! you that Indi¬
an run like mad. My friends made up a
good purse and gave it to him. He came
up to me and said: ‘Him white man,
much heap run. ■Whale-bone legs, ln
gine rubber body—catch deer; Wash
beat horse, him beatJWash.’ Whereupon
he pulled off a beautiful beaded belt,
bound with silk, and buckled around me,
saying: ’Wash’s no longer; keep till
die—nothing ever beat you.’
“The time I made in that one hundred
yards, by actual count, was eight seconds,
the fastest ever made, I guess.”
“Well we liad a royal feast that day.
From far and near the boys had collected
and brought their fifes and a basket full
of good things, then there was a keg of
tine old apple brandy which was open
and free to all, and, in connection, let
me say, in those days men did not get
drunk and ack like they do now. If one
of the crowd got drunk he was quietly
taken off the grounds and he knew to go.

ECONOMY IS TVEAETH.
llvo. Allianceinen, Economy in the up¬
building, growing and prosperity of a
nation; and extravagance is the ruination,
destroying and falling of a nation. We,
the people, are vt two classes: one class
says high compensation and salaries, the
other says put every thing down to a living
price. Uniformity, one people, one mind
and co-operation is what wo need. God’s
holy hook says “a house divided against
itself cannot stand.” So let us be more
ill unity. The people of the Untied States
(and Georgia especially) are grumbling
and have a right togrumb’o about taxa¬
tion; we are not able to pay our taxes,the
hireling nor landlord. The majority pay
[ their taxes, but suffer at home. Wo are
extravagant in taxes, and by being mon
eyless have found it out. That is, we did
j not kick I hear until we suggestions became moneyless;and and plans
| now many
to lower our taxes, which are very need
ful.
Haralson county lias nine regular offi
oers besides the assistants, poorfarmand
other officers. Some get nothing compar
atively speaking, while others make a
support and probably move. I have heard
some officers say they could fill the office
cheaper than the law allowed them. I
hear some suggest that we fix a reason
able salary for out county officers; but I
can’t approve of that method of reducing
taxes at pveaent. The United States
controls forty-two states, each state is
subdivided into its counties and are con
troled locally; and we have so many Unit¬
ed States, state and county officers I do
not think it will do to jump on the county
officers to lower our taxes. To make a
comparison I will call the president the
source, and the county officers the mouth,
i once taken the mud out of a ditch. I
comineuced at the mouth of the ditch and
went to the source and when the job was
complete I walked up and down the ditch
and i saw that the fine particles and sedi¬
ments had washed down, gathered and
settled all the way in the ditch and it
needed going over again; so x begain at
the source and went to the month and the
ditch was clean. If you want to make
water muddy from head to mouth go to
the foundation and stir it. if we want
to reduce salaries and per diem, let us go
to the head of our country and govern¬
ment and go into uniformity and reduce
all and then we can see what we have
done and see a good effect. If it is gool
to reduce the salaries in one county, it*
good in all counties and better. It il
useless to begin with small officers tJ
curtail expenses. First place it would
not get all officers’ salaries curtailed proij
portionatelv. Secondly, as long as the
Georgia Assembly sits up in Atlanta and
gets four dollars per day and holds from
