Weigh mnd Measure Everything.
Now that the season for selling has ar
rived, we would impress upon our readers
the neoeeeity for accurately weighing and
meaiiurilgwverything they sell. There is
too mttohjptiuss-work done. Buyers
handlklf^produce every day of the year,
and weigh and measure all they
handle. They are well posted. Farmers
eM not. ■' When it comes to estimate the
feraemLnre beat. “It is naught, it is
naaght," saith the buyer. And farmers
*1* too easily persuade i by his pertinac
ity. Betides. farmers want the money,
and do not like to lose a sale. So they
give Way. There is no settler of disputes
ao atebbom as a good platform scale. A
Fairbanks acale will save many words,
and ninch time and loss. Every barn
should be providod with one, and nothing
ahonld be taken out for sale until it is
weighed and plainly marked with its
weight. —Am. Agrfcultu mt.

'While mnd Negro Counties In Alabama.
Twenty-four counties of North Alabama
ftfcow a population which, allowing one
WOta ftp each five inhabitants, gives
45,641 *1 lito and 17,225 black voters. In
1&72» in Ibeso counties there were 25,1135
Democratic und 10,4.48 Radical votes cast,
ibowing'th&t 3.W3 whites voted the Rod-
ioal tioket, uud that i <5,313 whites did not
vote. There wero very few more than
One-balf of the white votes really, in those
counties, east for the Demooratio ticket,
or only one Democratic vote to every nine
-white persons.
Russell county. South Alabama, in 1872
oast 1,800 Democratic votes,with an entire
white population of only 5,400, showing
* Democratic yoto for every three of her
white citizens. But allowing the same
xatio —one vote to every tive white per-
ftone—Bussell county would have cast
Isos than 1,100 votes for the Democracy ;
except that, over (iou colored votes went
Democratic. Russell county has 10,000
negroes and 5,400 whites.
We feel satisfied that our North Alaba
ma friends will, ho-.vover, next November
foil up the 45,000 votes for Houston and
the Honest Meu's ticket which the Demo
crats have put forth.
jL White Radical Joins the Whites when
Armed Blades and Whites Meet.
We heard yesterday that when the ne
gro mob at Hurt v ill©, Russell county,
Ala., threatened to sack that village and
kill the whites, and were firing pistols, a
notorious white Radical named Bill
Turner, who is tryiug to get iuto office
by negro votes, came out with his gun
and took tides with the whitos, saying

Editor Enquirer-Sun: — We have had
a man living in our town (Gleuooe) by the

man by profession, about 40 years old,
near six feet high, and wore a moustache
and small imperial whiskers, hair rather
dark. lie got into a personal difficulty
with a man by tho name of Graoy. On
the 10th inst. Gracy’s friends decoyed
hiui off Romo distance from town, where
Gracy was waiting for him with a double-
barrel shot gun. Morgan got in some ten
feet of Gracy, wheu he (Gracy) fired the
contents of one of the barrels iuto the
breast of Morgan, killing him instantly.
Gracy made good his escape An exami
nation of his private papers showed that
he had a wife, or woman, iu Columbus,
or vicinity, who corresponded with him
aud Higncd her nume Babe. I have beard
hiui say he hud a brother or two in Geor
gia. Please publish this letter in your
city papers, so that his friends may know
wbut has become of him.
If his poor wife uud friends wants to
know more about his remains, they can
correspond with the uudersigned at
Glencoe, Shelby county, Tenn., Paducah
aud Memphis Railroad. He had many
ftieuds here, and was well thought of by
all who kuew him,aud was decently buried
by them. Jab. A. Cobditt.
