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. too, when it was so voted. If a little difficulty g<H he bo.vsi wo id d make a 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 1 Sheriff Sales for First Tuesday in February, 1891.
