present belo;w a f'il statemert of the
Case: in iti orginal; drawiug, by lot
tery, >fthese lands ini thJe State ofOGeor
o Irishmen, bythe "names of
.T,iei nd3fithiell, held ticets. The
tiekt 'Biekner drew 1and lot No. 7.
on whichla.greater pordon of Atlanta
is VOW uilt. VitChell claimed that
he1uad'peirchased'Biekner's.ticket, and
took quiet pssession .of te lot. He
sold divers portionsof it to the people
hoocked toA 6tanta,.and gave apor
tion of it to t&e iailroads for depots.
amJ this property is that over which
the MitWhe -heis are now contendimg.
Iatters rem;ai6ed in this condition un
til 1849,.when Mr. 'Allen Johnson,
thie Sheriff ofDfeKalb'County, discov
ered .that. no. iecord existed of any
transfei- by Biekner to Mitehell. He
diseoier'ed that Bickoer had remioved
t~ Putnanii County, and accordingly
went to Putnam County and found thiat
ickner had, died. He accordingly
administered on 1$ickner's estate, and
camesbaeksto Atlanta, which was thien
in D)eKalb Cunty~ and advertised the
property for sale at regular admnistra
tor'.s'sale2 This,. as nmight naturally
have boen4 expected, produced a great
exeitenrent among those who. purchased
from Mitchell. Col. C. .R. Hanleiter.
hk* then editing the A tlanta Alis
e:lafty, wrote a series of ai-ties, at
taeking -Johnson -and huis party for
fraud in attempting to disturb the ti
- ties to so-miuche property, and got up a
grreat excitement among the people.
'Ar. James -Loyd -who formerly kept
interested with Allen Johnson. He
was in Col. Hanliter's office when his
*first editorial .was written. and. he, it
is supposed, acceded to the .comnpro
mtise by whielh Joke~sou agreed to
drop his claim ais the administrator of
ERkier. sOn the, day of sak, everybody
who werejuterested, including nearly
the entire populaion of' AOanta,.wenit
to Decatur to.break up the sale, whieh
they succeeded in ding, by main fo>ree.
Itwas au .oeeaion of intense ex
eittoment, and at regular mob was raised
to stop the proceedings. As this,
lhcweyer, did not settle the question of
title, and as Johnson.still persisted in
his claim, the piireha.seir~froml Mit
chell becua uneasy, and they calleJ
(An the repiesentatives of Mitchell 'to
miake good their warranty. As Niit
de in the meantime had died also,
Green, who was executor of Mitehell,
ea ie to Atlanta, and sought an inter
view Allen Johnson, at the Atlanta
HLtdl The mnatter was 't.emporarily
compr~omised, it is suppose'd,by giving
.Johnson tities to soine of thme pro.perty.
*In this condition, the matter has re
'mainmed until within a few days past.
when- a new elidmn'ut sprung up in
the -heirs' .cof one Joseph Camp. It
wtuld, therefore, appear that the t'tle
to this immense property all depends
unono the saie of a lottery ticket, and
de heirs of Caimp allege that the fail
ure of 'Mitchell and Johnson to pro
duce the record of this sale was not
c,wingo to carelessness in not tr.anserib
ing it, but to the more important fact
that Bickner had made actual transfer
of the ticket to Joseph Camp, the an
eestors of the claimants.
.Joseph CamIp was a lawyer of somec
proinenkcelC, who . moved from South
Uarolina to Madison, Georgia, and af
terw~ards~ inoved to Columbus. (iie
* was one of what were calied the "orig
ilm:d sixteen Camups," this naume aris
il: from the fact that about three
gelecrations ago a Mr. Camp settled in
North Carolina. and had sixteen sons,
,ll of' them he:dthy. s trapping fellows.
whoi h?av since raised large families of'
children. It is custoumary whIen one
Celpes auother to ask, "Arec you
- eseended from the original sixteen ?"
If so, relationship is at at on1ce estah
lis.hed.) Shortly after Mr. Camp
went to Cobuubus, he b>eeame engaged
in a duel with Woolfolk. This duel
was quite notorious from the close
quarters at whichl the parties were
ph:c'ed. We remember to have heard
- Woolfolk's second. describe it, and it
i1.adel a strong~ imnpression upon our
'..uthful mind. They were to light onl

ivere Woolfolk's last words. Camp
.tfterwards got into a difficulty on the

in which he was killed. Milton then
:emo,ved to Florida, was elected Gov
1rnor, and subsequently became ad
licted to drink, and ended his life by
suicid-e a few fears ago.

Lthe reords-of Fulton or-DeKalb show
kd that any of the lots in the neigh
horhotd of Atlanta were recorded in
the uane of: Joseph Camp. He paid'!
little attention to it, as he had. never
heard of any, and. wrote lightly about
it to Mr. Su.livan. : If the facts of
.this case are such as alleged.by the
heirs of Joseph Camp, it.is very sin
giultr that they have;:slept solong over
their rihts. It may be that the ter
rible tragedy 'by which Joseph Camp
lost his life produced sueh:grief that
it. caused Mrs. Camp ith her chil
dren to nve back to Spartanburg,
South Carolina. The ownership of
this lot has remained as a tradition in
the family, until a .distinguished law
yer. who married one of the daughters,
hearing of it; commenced the invesii
ation. It is said that General Gar

Aivertising medium offers unrivalled ad

Entered upon itssecond year on the

or in Europe, and.is a-remarkable fea

day are given it such pleasing and
attractive style, that it. is no wonder at
all the. Grap/ic has attained in so
short a time a success which warrants
the belief of a long life:

and beern approved,by the Governor.
It appropriates s follows:

Economy is a virtue.. Through it
lies the road to success in :whatever
buiness a man may undertake. It is
the characteristic of abuost:every man.

Added to industry it is certain to

while on thie other har.d the - largest

noting if the economic rulestare dis
rearded, The dropping df a few
grins of siiidat iti me, before we are
aware of it1 drains, the hout glass. A
lak in the tauk soon leaves it empty.
As by adding little by little fort-unes
ae built up, so by uselessly subtracting
little by little they are torn downi.
The .;unt -f carefully and frugally
using uieaus by preventing::Iwast.c pad
avoiding extravragance has been thie
source -of untold want arnd fmancial
distress. To.t;his is largely at tributa
ble the d.imress whieb.now.prevails in
our business circles; if' not thbrough the
fault of the business men themselves,
through the fault of others whose
thriftless habits prevenit them from
paying debts carelesly incurred.. So
that the e tils. of extravagant habits
fall not only upon the unfortunate
posessor, but upon those who trust
him.
While economy is a virtue extrava
g~ance is a vise. or ini nine cases out of
ten leads to vice. One leaids to po
periy, the other leads to ruin and
disgrace. Onie builds up, the other
pulls dowa. One promotes ease and
strengthens credit, the other inj ures
health, destroys credit and squanders
prperty. The former encourages self
denial, the latter engop.rages self
indulgence: The former produces, the
latter consumes. One is respected by
all, the other is winked at by those
only who reap the profits. Tt is often
said that it is not hard to make money
but the trouble is to keep it. This is
true, for almost everybody has the
acothi.s exgendendi. Too . uch
money is spent on dress, too much on.
the table. too much on trifles, too
much on pleasure, and it is no wonder
tht the exchequer is empty before
we are aware of it.
This itch for spendi;~g j.s not the
peculiar property of, but largely
possessed by our young men, and it
is for them we are writing tis ragged

Trade with Charleston.
A revolution in trade is made ne

rienced, and which will be felt for
months tocone. Merchants generally
are waking to the, fact that the. oUy
successful plan of trade is a cash one.

purchased in distant markets W ith the

be drawn here between this and the
advantages offered by purchasing at'
a nearer market-Charleston. The

the interests of the -up-eountry m6r

will give a decided advantage over the
practice heretofore in vogue.
Cumulative Voting.
It is strinuge to us that so little is
fshid of the syltem of" cuinlative
voting. Maj. Delany alided to it' in
his letter to En~oeiate Justice Wright

matter has droppedjand there seen s
to be but a very feeble endor emnent <f
'the.plan'by thepress and the peop?e.
It is v-ainito hope.for the adopt;on uf
this system by the party is power, for
it is unknown in the history of politics
for'a party kniowingly to yield any
canU be avoided. It is doubtka~s true
that those who now desire this plan of
electing representatives avould fail to
make a like concession were they in
power. l)emnociats and Coisetvatives
in thei- States who have"the majority
do not trouble 'thimselves to increase
the power of the opfosinit party.
There is but one State in the Union,
if ielare informned correctly, in which
mrinority represetitation is secured. aird
that is the State of Illirroi, which is
hirgely-'Republican. But however this
may be 'i does not alter'the fact. that
ths exchisive *rule of the numerical
mnajority is wrong and' that minority
representation is rgt
The 'sytei of cumulative voting
or minority r.epresentation may be ex
plained as f'oilows : 'R Newberry
County is enttle to five representa
tives in the 'General Assembly, each
quali8ed voter would have the privi
lege of five votes, which may be divided
among the soyeral candidlates, or cast
collectively as hre sees fit. 80, if the
Republicans of the County were three
fifths 'and the Democrats two fifths of
the voting'~population, the former by
umulating their votes could elect
three and' the latter two in the- same
mannier.' For i pistance, say the quali
fed electors of this County are twenty
five hundred; fifteen hundred of whom
are Republicans and ten hundred are
Democrats. Each man having five
votes, in case five representatives are
to be elected, the former would poll a
vote of seyenty-five hundred and the
latter fifty hundred. The formev
umulating their votes on thr:ee of the
candidates would give to each of their
candidates twenty-five hiun dred votes,
and the latter by the same process
would give the same nmber to each
of their candidates, thereby electing
the live who would fairly represent the
conflicting interests according to num
ber, the majority still controlling as is
poper, but the minority having a
voice in the gos ermuent, as the plainest
dotat,gs of justice leujaud.
It seems sti'ange to us, lookiug at
it from a stand.point of justice and
liberty, and not of party greed and
love of power, that this boasted gov
enent has not long ago inaugurated
a system so plainly just.
