Diphtheria in Watklnsvillc.
Wo rejret to learn that diphtheria
is prevalent in Watkinsviilo. A little
child of Judge George C. Thomas, of
that place, died ol this fell disease
yesterday morniug. Let us liopo that
the progress of this dread destroyer
may be sjieedily stopped.
Ad Old Custom.
Many years ago Athens bad a law
forbidding the sale ol liquors in quan
tities less than a quart. Whenever a
man came along and bought a quart,
he could not, of course, drink it all;
so the bar-keeper would go to the
door and blow a blast on a cow horn
and the loafers all around town would
batten to help the purchaser dispose
ol his quart. When, bj any chaucc,
a gallon was purchased, tlio l>ar-
keeper would blow a ram's horn, and
then the boys would say to each olh*
er: “ No use to hurry now ; lie’s got
a gallon.” Such wore “ the good old
times.’’
Tin- Cotton Prospect.
Mr. Jesse Daniel, who lives seveu
miles west of Athens, informs us that
tlie cotton crop in his section is going
to be short. Thero is no August cot
ton at ali. From the first week in
June to the tourth day of August,
there was not enough rain to run in
the furrows. Hence, four-filths of the
crop in that section is already open.
This applies also to the neighboring
portions of Gwinnett and Hall. Some
ot the land in that region will not
yield fifty pouuds more of cotton to
the acre. One of Mr. Daniel’s neigh
bors, who planted and worked for five
bales, has gathered only two, and will
not probably gel half a bale more.
Mr. Daniel is one of Clarke’s most
substantial farmers. lie has devoted
the net proceeds of his labor since the
war, to the education of his boys.
Three of his sons arc now at work
together, not with him, but on his
place. They rise up betimes in the
morning, and have not lost a day this
year. Such well dii ected energy is
bound to succeed.

The Election In Clarke.
Thujeleetion passed off quietly in
Clarke county, sot withstanding the
heated contest that has keen earned
on here. Thero was no disturbance
except in the case of two darkeys who
had a little fisticuff, and then each ac
knowledged they had made a mis
take, and they were friendly again.
Carriages hurried to and fro in the
city all day long, and the active poli
ticians were active indeed. Very
little drunkenness was seen, and al
together it was as quiet an election ns
could have been desired.
Despite the assertions that have
been so freely made, it will be seen
that Clarke county lias gone for Col
quitt by a large majority. This is no
laoiethan was expected by the best
informed men in this comity, but it
will bo a surprise to persons outside.
We give below the official vote of
this county :
That Oiitrufa-.
We learn that ti c account given in
Tuesday's Banner, of the attack on
the daughter of Mr. Spencer, in the
vicinity of Georgia Factory, was in
correct in some respects. Our infor
mation was derived from one of the
party that brought the negro to jail,
and of course we had reason to be
lieve it was correct.
The correct account..is this: The
negro Jerry Bradbury, went into the
house of Mr. Spencer, with bis face
concealed by a piece of brown paper,
and told the little gills that there was
some money in the house and he must
have it. They told him there was
none there. He insisted, and they
again denied it. Then one of the
girls—who was about eleveu or
twelve years old—called him by name.
Seeing that his identity was discov
ered, and probably rendered desper
ate by the fear of punishment, he
•truck the girl a fearful blow on the
forehead and fled. He was pursued
and captured, as stated Tuesday.
The wound was a dreadful one.
Dr. Pope, the attending physician,
fears that the skull is fractured, though
the swelling was so great that he
could not be certain Her condition
was reported to him yesterday after
noon as being much improved— the
swelling having decreased very much
He will her again this morning,
and can probably decide .with more
acciwaey-fm-thie exact character of
the wounds
We are very much pleased to say
that the negro did not attempt any
thing but robbery. Our-information
to the contrary was incorrect.

THE NIHILISTS.
The Nihilists—tlie bete noir of the
Czar of Russia—arc growing bolder.
The “ Will of the People,” their or
gan, has suddenly reappeared in St.
Petersburg aud no one can tell whore
it came from. The police and all of
the authorities are puzzled at the
boldness of the publication, and are
astounded at its tone. It says plainly
that its mission is not yet accomplish
ed ; that the government has made no
real progress in the direction of liber
ality, aud that the so-called reforms
introduced by Count Melikoff are a
sham.
This organ of the dissatisfied aud
determiued element of the Russian
people intimates that the plots and
attacks against the head of the gov
ernment are to be renewed. It re
minds the people that a liberal policy
was promised by the government if
the dagger and dynamite were with
drawn ; that these were withdrawn,
and tlie promise ot a liberal policy
was not fulfilled ; but the government
is as tyrannical as ever, and conse
quently those who would reform it by
force, must: resume their work.
This declaration' of the “ Will ot
the People” indicates that tfte ri*0ffiit
cessation of violence and the appear
ance of peace were due, not to a more
humane feeling on the part of the gov
ernment, but to an armistice deter
mined upon by the Nihilists to test
the sincerity of tlie government’s
promise of reform. This not standing
the test, the reign of violence may be
looked for again.
The Czar is proving, as mary mou-
archs have proven, that “ uneasy lies
the head that wears a crown.” With
all their violence, tlie Nihilists are
the champions o! human liberty, and
as such, they are entitled to tlie sym
pathy of all free people. Their meth
ods are horrible, but so is their treat
ment by the government. "It some
times happens that liberty "«in only
be won by blood and balllei; and
sometimes tho violence of il^ advo
cates is equal to that of its enemies.
When that is the case, let the cause
and tin motive plead in extenuation
of tlie wrong-doing. The cause of
human liberty is advancing, the world
over, and will continue to advance,

MARRIAGE IN MASSACHUSETTS.
The Boston Traveller is calling
attention to the remarkable decrease
of marriages in Massachusetts during
the last ten years. In 1870 the rate
was one in 85.64 of the population.
In 1878 it was one in G0.19. Last
year the ratio of white marriages in
preyoi tion to the white population of
the State was one in 60.94. The
noteworthy fact ia mentioned by the
tlie Traveller that “ the decri ase
found among the wealthy classes,
where it would cot be expected to
occur ” Young men also, we are
told, “who spend more annually than
would be required to secure domestic
felicity, assign as a reason for
not marrying that they can
not support a family. 41 In old
times the Puritans were a pro
lific race, but in this respect they have
greatly degenerated of late, if the
testimony of physicians is to be
taken in respect to the few children
that are now boro among the native
population, and especially in house
holds where the means are ample'for
maintaining large families. The re
luctance to marry on the part of the
young men of Massachusetts may
arise from the desire so many of them
entertain, and nota few gratify, to
be free to migrate to Other (Hates in
search of fortune, ancl consequently
to have no such dog on
ments as a wife and perhapschildren
might be. Whether this be

According to our last census, says
an exchange, there were 6,000,000 of
agriculturists in the United States,
and by this time, ns the new census
will doubtless show, there must be at
least 7,000,000, with their families.
The annua! expenditure of each of
these families for articles on which a
“ protective” tariff is laid is esti
mated from careful figures at $200.
The articles for which this $200 is ex
pended are wearing apparel, and
household articles, iron work and
forming implements, earthenware aBd
all tlie multitude of tilings which go
to keep a family and provide means
for working the land. This is a small
average, as it includes many well-to-
do families.
Two hundred dollars each for 7,-
000,000 families is $1,400,000,000 in
the aggregate, expended upon goods
whjch are “ protected ” by the tariff.
The average amount ol this protec
tion is, to put the figures so low that
there can be- no dispute, forty per
cent. That is to say, that they pay
for tlie necessaries of life, excepting
food, forty per cent, more than they
would have to pay if there were no
protective tariff, aud they were al
lowed to buy in tbe cheapest market
they could find. And if they could
buy for $100 what they now pay $140
for, it is evident that they would save
$400,000,000 every year. This vast
amount, $400,000,000, is what the
single class of American agriculturists
pay every year for the sake of ‘ pro.
tecting * certain interests.
Now, compa-e ibis with what the
government receives from the duties
placed on imports. Last year the
total receipts from customs were
$137,250,047. This is a little more
than one-third what a single interest
--the agricultural—paid out above
the normal price for the necessaries of
existence and of labor. There is an
enormous discrepancy here, ns every
one can see; an immense expenditure
of money, which teems to vanish as it
passes from the hands of the farmers
under the mandate of the, govern
ment. •
Bat all this $137,250,047 does not
come from the farmers. As nearly as
can be estimated not more th»n $60,-
000,000 of the excess of $400,000,000
which they pay for •* protection’’ goes
to the government, and the snm whicii
they see vanish from their handa to
the profit of nobody is about $340,-
000,000 a year.
.— I ABOUT INDIANA.
The election in Indiana, says the
faacon Telegraph, takes place Tu«-
day, and everywhere expectation is
on tiptoe to hear the result, lor it is
commonly mid; that if Indiana goes
for Hancock the battle is won. A
few days ago, the Philadelphia Times
sent an impartial, long-headed ob
server to Indiana to examine into
matters. We think it is the same
man who was sent to Maine, and who
astonished the people by declaring
that the difference would Dot be a
thousand votes either way, and this
announcement was printed when
Blaine and his friends were claiming
from ten to fifteen thousand majority.
In tbu Times of the 5ih this corre
spondent makes his first report of In
diana. He says the Republican com
mittee are claiining'a majority of nine
to ten thousand, but it is for effect.
After a conference with tlie most in
telligent sources, he says: “ They
(the Republicans) are fighting not
wholly without hope, but in all prob
ability with the fear that the best they
can do is to keep down the Democrat
ic majority, and show a loss as com
pared with four years ago ”
Of the other side he says:
“ There 1s perfect confidence on
the part of the Democrats. Mr. Eng
lish p aces tlie probable majority for
Landers at 7,000. Senator McDon
ald, who is not given to enthusiastic
claims, says it can’t possibly go below
7,000 and he would not be surprised
to see it reaching away to 10,000 or
12,000 The Greenback vote, he be
lieves, will not exceed 10,000. Two
years ago it was nearly 40,000, and
this difference will divide with the
largest share to the Democrats. Be
fore tlie Maine election its drift was
toward the Republicans, but it lias
since then beeu going more notice*
ably the other way. Weaver’s pres
ence in the State lias about broken up
the Greenbackers’ organization. The
few who continue leaders in tlie move
ment are so well understood to be fol
lowing Weaver’s tactics to assist the
Republicans that the followers are all
broken up and refuse any longer to
be followers. The evident co-opera
tion ot the Greenbackers and Repub
licans has been an advantage to the
Democrats in having solidified the
German vote and bringing back the
Democratic Greenbackers, who de
cline to bo traded ofl. It is McDon
ald’s opinion that the aggregate vo'e
will not be materially larger than in
1878, although tlieie will be some in
crease. Estimating from the rate of
| four years ago, the Democratic part
! of the increase will be greater. Con
siderable account is made of the
young men who vole for the first
time, who take naiuraily to Hancock
Whatever may be English’s unpopu
larity, it is of no account. Tbe peo
ple don’t slop to think of it, a d are
counting for Hancock or Garfield as
if they were in the canvass in Novem
ber.”
To the same purport is a commu
nication to the Sun from a Democrat
just from Iudiaua dated, at the Aslur
House, 4th instant. lie says:
“ I am just from Iudianapolis where
I bad talks with English, Sena tor Mc
Donald, Gen. Mauson, Shoemaker,
(owner of the Seutinel) and with all
tbe leading Democrats. There is per
fect harmony aud more earnest en
thusiasm than I ever before witness
ed. English authorized me to say
East that Indiana is safe by a good
round majority ; that the Democracy
of tlie State' are runuing the cam
paign ou their own money, aud have
a perfect organization in every town
and county. Gen. Manson says
“Tell the brethren North that Indi
ana will go Democratic by . 15,000
majority.’’
“ Senator McDonald is a cool, far-
seeing man—perhaps the best-posted
man iu Indiana except English him
self (whom I believe to be the best
political organizer and ablest mana
ger of a campaign in America,) and
the Senator says the State will go
IIUM OHS OF THE CAM-
-PAIGN: -
The Greenville (S. C.) News says:
At the big democratic meeting at
Wimmboro some of tlie mottoes worn
by the monnte 1 men were very funny.
The most striking one was the white
patch worn by a negro upon <he seat
ot his black pantaloons which con
tained in flaring letters the words,
‘Garfield to the rear!’
MahaLi Wilson, a colored woman,
and very much colored at that, rode
near the head of the Oakland Club,
on a while, flea-bitten horse, by the
side of her husband, Marcus, and
smiled most lustily for the democracy.
She wore a light-colored dress, and
had a red zephyr shawl spread over
her shoulders. Wherever she was
seen she created a furore and was
greeted with shouts of laughter and
applause. General Ilagood sought an
introduction to her as the first colored
woman he had ever seen in South
Carolina who had the temerity to
announce herself as a democrat. He
accepted her open avowal ot the laith
as the most hopeful indication of the
cauvnss. An old negro man, 88 years
old, rode in the procession with the
Longtown Club. The negroes in the
line were fine looking men, and wore
the most startling combinations of gay
and attractive colors, and on every
side there were to be seen the crimson
banners of the triumphant democracy.
