Farming in Jackson COunty-NO. 16
BY THE EDITOR.


As soon as the flax was dry enough,
it was gathered up and tied into bundles
and put into barn or stable loft, ol
stacked out doors. Late in the fall it
was taken to the barn floor and the
seed threshed off Then it was again
spread upon the ground to be "water-
cd" This watering was nothing more
than having it remain in the rain and
dew until the hard or woody inside OF
the stalk became SO far rotted as easily
to break. This did not injure the bark,
or lint on the outside of the stalk.
When sufficiently watered, it was gath
cred up when dry, and again tied into
bundles and put away in dry place.
In the cold winter weather it was
''cleansed." This consisted in "break-
ing," "scutching," or "swingling,", and
"hatcheling." The flax break was a
frame standing on four legs, about three
feet high, two feet wide, and FIVE or six
feet long On this frame were three
wooden swords, being fiat pieces of
wood, as wide and thick as a mans
hand, with the upper edge sharp, They
were much nearer together in front
than in the rear. Then there were two
similar swords fastened in light frame
hat worked on hinges at the top and
rear of this frame, and passed down be-
tween the under swords. The lower
edge of these movable swords was
sharp as wood could be made. In
front these swords were fastened to a
block, as also a handle above them.
The swords and handle in the rear were
fastened into the rear block, which
turned on the wooden hinges as above
mentioned.
The flax was generally broken by
men. A bunch of fax as large as could
be grasped, was taken by one end, II
the left hand, and the top piece Of the
break raised up in front by the handle
The flax was thrust across the lowe
swords, well to the rear, where they
were wide apart, and where the top O.
the break with its swords could bC
brought down upon it with the great
est leverage. After thrusting this par
of the break upon the flax, turning i
and changing it with the left hand, il
was gradually moved towards the front
of the break, where the swords were
closer together. This would break the
stalks into short pieces, or "shoves. y
Then this end of the flax, which was
now mostly lint, (much of the broken
stalks having fallen out,) was wrapped
around the left hand, and the other end
was broken the same as The first
Much of the shoves was beaten out by
switching the handful across the break.
Each handful was then twisted and
laid down, in pile,
Next came the scutching, or swing
ling, which ! will reserve for next
week.

Jnstice in Jackson COUNTY.

On the night of the election, We
heard that four colOred men in Milton
township had been cruelty beaten by a
mob, because they Mad offered to vote
On the next day Mr. Stewart, one OF
the parties beaten, was into our office,
and showed us whore his arm was cut
TO the bone with a stone. He said that
four of them went to the polls to vote.
They were more than half whiye, and
had a right to vote. One of them had
served faithfully in the army. There
was q crowd about the place of voting
This crowd opened and let them in
then closed in the rear and commenced
knocking them down aud beating them
sTAey managed to get away, but were
!. Aprsued a quarter of a mile. This is
Stewarts story, and what he testified
ITO before the Grand Jury, But no in.
f.fljcto.eat Vas found. Then an AFFIDAVIT
was made and the parties arrested, and
tried in the Probate Court When the
parties were brought in we noticed
that one Of them was one Of the trus-
tees Of Milton township, and some Of
the others had a standing in the com.
munity which rendered it almost in.
credible that they should be guilty o
such lawlessness.
Well, as we supposed, the wrong
parties had been arrested, as the jury
brought in verdict of not guilty. Blu
the question arises, who was it that
composed that mob7 Somebody hal
been guilty Of a foul outrage. AS W.
could not be present at the trial, W.

GEAt the October election in 1867,
rebel soldiers voted in Jackson county,
and no Republican thought of driving
them away from the polls by force. One
of them voted in the great loyal town
ship of Jefferson, when he had not re-
sided year in the State, and his vote
was thrown out in the contested cleo
tion case. Yetno one ever thought of
mobbing this illegal rebel voter And
that was tho proper course. The law
should decide all such questions.
