On the ortleide of orr paper, wo
publish to-day tbo Act, authorising
the establishment of a County Court
in Marion, for the purpose of exhibit
ing the cost, aim and effectiveness of
the court. As it will probably be a
question of considerable debate in the
future, it S3 well enough for both pari
ties that this act. bo given genera
publicity, at tins lime.

A spccgd 1 o the Columbus Times,
of Tuesday, gives the particulars of
:u; a." • t-'I. to rape a beautiful and
i .t >:r, ii.-hed young lady of Fort, Val
ley, itgeu eighteen, by an ink black
negro, on Sunday evening last. The
fiend was thwarted in his foui design,
and, Sunday night, n3he was being
carried to jail, situated at Ferry, the
guard was attacked and disarmed by
a large baud of citizens disguised,
and the negro was hung to a limb of
a tree until w dead.
The Few Congress-
The interest in the new Con
■ ess, which comes together early
next month, of course centres in
the organization of the House of
Representatives. It will be eigh
i.ten years since a Democratic
; maker has been elected, and in
th at interval the Republican par
ty has controlled the House for
.ine consecutive Congresses. Of
the 292 members of the next
House, the Democrats have 178,
the Republicans 108, and the In
dependents 6. Of the various can
didate for the speakership, Kerr, of
Indiana ; and Cox and Wood, of
New York ; Sayler, of Ohio ; 1101.
man, of Indiana; and Lamar, of
Mississipi, were members of pre
ceding Congresses, while Payne
of Ohio, and Walker of Virginia ;
are new members. The relative
strength of the various candi
dates is variously estimated, and
by the first week in December
figures alone may be
brought into requisition for the
first time to show who is ahead.
A correspondent of the World
says those Democratic members
who have visited Washington ex
press desire to vote for a candidate
whose record as a Democrat is
free from local and “entangling
alliances,” and who will reflecs
the highest honor or credit on his
party and country. Next to the
speaker, the Clerk is the most im
portant officer of the Louse, and for
this as well as for the minor offices
there is no lack of candidates. It is
generally conceded, however, that the
cleikship will go to the South, which
ad ranees no claims to the first posi
tion.
Col. R, H. Hardaway, of Thom
as county, writes: “It gives me
pleafUre to promptly answer your
question as to the cost per pound
to raise cotton. I give you the
cost for seven years, to-wit: 1866,
14:50 ; 1867, 12:50 ; 1868, 12:25 ;
1869, 10:90; 1870, 8:60; 1871, 13:-
62 ; 1872, 10:78. The average is
11:88. This includes interest on
■value of lands, rej airs, interest on
team, taxes, fertilizers, labor of
cultivating, picking and packing,
but nothing added for supervision.
The latter would be hard to esti
mate. This year’s crop has not
been marketed, but will not ex
c edten cents. I keep a record
of my crop annually, and it simp
y required the copying, as the cal
culation was already made and en
tered on my memorandum book.”

Public School Six Months in Suc
cession.
Rev. W. A. Singleton, the county
school Commissioner, communicates
an important document this week to
the citizens of the county, in the form
of a circular. As it is in regard to a
very important matter, we publish it
to-day, to give it wider circulation.
The ecunty school commissioners
have granted an important privilege
m permitting the two free schoo 1
terms, of lireo mouths each, to come
together when communities so desire
it.
Omen ok C. S. C. 1
Bursa Vista, Ga., {■
November 22nd, 1875. )
Dear 6ir:—The Board of Educa
tion, at the November session, pass
ed the lollowing or dor:
“That the School Commissioner of
this comity may contract with teach
ers, if agreeable with patrons, for
any number of months not less than
the legal number nor more than ten
months, and that ha may pay the
pro rata on each attendance for the
number of days each beneficiary at
tended school, provided he does not
pay for any attendance more than
lor the legal time.
The object of this order is to avoid
the objection and ill-convenicnced
attending public school any spocified
three months, in which some benefi
ciaries in the best communities are
deprived by press of business, of pub
lic education.
Under this order I will contract
with teachers for six or more months,
ami allow the pro rata for the legal
term for every beneficiary who at
tends that length of time through the
school and a pro rata for those atten
ding for a less time.
This provision will be ex ended to
those communities only ■ Lo confer
with me and make satisfactory ar
rangements relative to time, compen
sation, and certainty of execution of
the entire plan.
If such arrangements are sanction
ed by any community, it is important
that application be* made therefor
immediately at my office.

Corn is King.
A few weeks since we noticed ha
ving seen an ear of corn raised in
Sumner county which had 1,272 ker
aals, showing the remarkable gain
of over twelve hundred fold. Now
there is lying on our table an ear of
sound white corn, the seeds of which
are smaller and more numerous—
-1,380. The rows are 22 in number
and the grains in each row average
63, giving the aggregate above sta
ted.
The possibilities of this American
cereal in our American soil and clim
ate have not been studied with that
scientific thoroughness which the
importance of the subject demands.
The plant is much more valuable for
forage than for its seed or grain
Last year a French fanner rai. ed
sixty-five thousand pounds of green
forage (maise or corn) per acre. This
crop was kept in pits in its green state
aud fed to dairy cows in the winter
at a large profit. No other field crop
paid so well. While studying a sta
ple grain that yields with common
care and culture thirteen hundred
and eighty-six fold on the seed plan
ted, some may doubt whether there
is as much blood forming elements in
the large stalks aud leaves of the
plant as in its seeds. Brought to the
test in pioduciug beef and milk, the
yield is greater. Our corn changed
into dairy products at the right lime
in the growth of the plant will give
the farmer more profits than other
crops, iflffl butter aud cheese are
sent to Europe wilh cotton and to
bacco to find consumers.
Corn is Ling, because there is more
money in it than in any other pro
duct of American soil, but, like the
French cultivators, we must bring
advanced art and science to our as
sistance and learn to keep our best
fields, when green with this crop and
the seeds beg'm to form substantially
in that condition the year round, to
feed green maize to all growing ani
mals yielding meats, horse-flesh and
wool, as well as milk, butter and
cheese. Corn is our best capital
Plant a gold dollar and see how long
it will be before a stock bearing
1,386 dollars like the parent seed can
be harvested by a bullionist I—Nash

Here is number twenty-five :
The gin-house of Dr. Patillo, of
Dougherty county, was burned
last week, together with twelve
hales of cotton, The fire origi
nated in the lint room, and was ac
cidental .
The post-bellum experience
of Col. Joneo, of the Macon T< le
graph , lias been somewhat unfor
tunate. Nince the war, while a re
sident of Cuthbert, his horse was
■ stolen from the stable and never
recovered. In a single night he
lost every turkey, duck and chick
en on his premises; had a valuable
milch cow, just about to calve, kill
ed and butchered within fifty rods
of the settlement on his farm ; had
a chest in his own bed-chamber,
containing thirty five dollars in
specie, opened and rifled ; his corn
crib robbed of a large amount of
grain ; gin-house entered_and five
hundred pounds of cotton stolen,
the thieves and their plunder cap
tured within a few paces of the
building; had his garden fence
torn down and a whole wagon load
of ruta-baga turnips carried off—
three hales of packed cotton and a
valuable mule spirited away to
Florida from his Baker county
plantation—forty head of sheep,
and all save five of two hundred
head of hogs, stolen from the same
place; and, finally, his store,
printing office, and merchandise
worth $7,000, burnt by a negro for
plunder, who was afterwards ar
rested near Columbus.
Says the Marietta Journal:
Mr. Cyrus Dial’s gold mine, twelve
miles i'lom Marietta,in county,
is turning out gold in surprising quan
i’ties. It is by far (be richest mine dis
covered in Georgia. The dirt in his y.ud
and garden is literally full of particles
of the precious stuff. Mr. John Dum
harn visiied Mr. Dial’splace and he in
forms us that he saw Mr. Dial take a
frying-pan full of dirt from his garden
and from it hr. extracted one penm
weight of gold, while from two small
rocks he ot two penny-wrights wiili
out any trouble. Gold as Inige as
grains of wheat shine in the rocks
true indications of abundance, Mr.
Durham says iti two boms time Mi-
Dial washed out eight dollars worth
of gold. AVe have two specimens
from this mine. Mr. Dial was a poor
man, but lie now finds himself sud

An Elegant Establishment.
Yesterday we were shown
through the elegant and com, ’etc
establishment of Mr. W. R. Kent.
Any one passing the door would
have only a faint idea of the hun
dreds of saddles, bridles, whips,
trunks etc., that are carelully stor
ed in this house. As you enter^
looking to the right, your eyes will
witness the best display of fine
harness in the State. Further
along are rows of saddles, bridles,
girths, buckles, blankets, whips
and trunks. On the opposite side
is a variety of leather goods, bits,
oil, straps, and silver-mounted
buckles. Upstairs you can find
overy-thing in the saddlery and
harness lino, and in any quantity.
All styles and prices of saddles,
from the Texas tree to tlio old
fashion high horn saddle, can be
supplied by Mr. Kent. He makc3
a specialty of fine sachols, truuKS,
valices, and blanket straps. In
the rear of this store is a well fit
ted up manufacturing and repair
ing department, which has the
personal supervision of Mr.
Kent.
We especially recommend the
house to our farming friends who
want new wagon harness, back
hands or bridles to nse for another
crop.— Columbus Times.
