The foreman of the jury of Butts
county publishes the following: In
the last ia-tie of the Jackton News
we notice an article asking for an .
ex pl ana ion of the grand jury as to
why they should i ecomm nd and
additional tax upon the schedule
presented to them by the Ordinary? ;
In obedience to the request, and for :
the general satisfaction of tax-payers !
of the county, will say that here
tofore our scrip has been scaled or
discounted by mon<y holders 10 per
cent, from the face value, and when '
the scrip or orders are issued they I
then form the attitude of a due note
upon the County Treasurer, aid
subject to draw interest at the regu
lar lawful rate —7 percent. Now
these scrip, or erders,discounted at
10 per cent, and drswing interest
at 7 per cent., makes the interest in
the aggregate 17 per cent., and this
am- tint comes from the pockets of
tax-payees of the county. Now, you
take this anion ntand add it to recom
mended schedule aud you will find
that, with but little added theret ,
we have a tax levied suffic ently
Urge to meet the current expenses
of the courts for one year, dr, in
other words, for the two terms.
Hence, the grand jury thought it
wise to levy a sufficient amount to
throw the county at least two courts
ahead, and place money enough in
the treasury to pay off the scrip at
its face value, and stop the moneyed
men from depreciating the issue of
our county.
The Height of Waves.
Many experiments have been made U
measure the height of waves in all con
ditions of weather. One authority goes
as high as sixty-four feet and another as
low as five feet, giving it as his reason
that the penetrating power of wind can
not reach below that depth. Os this
philosopher it may be presumed that he
was a martyr to sea-sickness, and that
he must have contented himself with
making his calculations in his study.
On the other hand, a height of sixty*
four feet is almost as absurd, though il
is more in correspondence than five fed
can possibly be with our conception ol
the altitude of the majestic surges
which roll under the Impulse of storms 1
of wind along the surface of the great
oceans. It is true that the earthquake
wave has been known to rise to sixty
feet; yet surges of thia kind are happily
scarce, since when they occur they are
not only in the habit of raxing whole
towns upon the coart tine where they
break, but of carrying some of the ves
sels they may encounter at anchor Io
the neigh borliood to the distance of a
day’s walk inland. Practical expert
