Banks County Journal. VOL. 1 GEORGIA'S SENATOR HIGHLY COMPLIMENTED. For two hours Georgia’s U. S. Senator A.lncttnder Stephens Clay (whose now political name will in nil probnbility ho that of M iml at the expiration of liis term as U. S. Senator) has boon the re cipient of ns high a compliment as it is witnin the power for the V. President to confer upon one of the Senators. Olay had the honor of presiding over the United States Statute for two. hours on last Tuesday. He was called to the chair by the Republican vice president and held sway during the tariff debate. It wan a handsome compliment for so young and now a member ;o be asked to preside and wo believi t lay made an cxcelcnf impression upon the lovers or followers of that horrid old Maid w!:o bears the name of Republican Party, who (throng its next highest oommand inng Officer G. A. Hobart) was a<> proud and well pleased with her betrothed and handsome sweet-heart from Geor, git; could do hothing nicer to show her heartfelt appreciation of her successful winning of this supposed Son of that Grand and glorious old Sire and Hero Father Democracy. The hope of reward seems to have hud a wonderful influene over the here-to fore openly expressed Democratic and free trade principals of our hcre-to.-fore greatly lieloved Olay. The Georgia senator was perfectly at home while was in the chair of the pre siding officer, Ids long service as the speaker of the house of representatives and as president of our senate standing him in good hand in guiding the move ments of the most rotten and the most corrupt body of National law-masing men that the sun ever shown upon. But Oh! how much more this newly and very hard working and ... istdevoted youngSouthem(old Maid) lover will feel at home when he carries this horrid old maid to the public alter for the purpose of being pronounced as having joined themselves together, and b tli as having the very strongest united' determination to rob the poor and laboring classes of this country,and more especially those of his own state out of their l ard earned money, jnst for the cuke of enriching themselves and the old maid’s father," \\ all-Stroct- Ba n k s-( ionibi nes-1 iai l-n >ads-and-Trias is of all kinds even including the southern black race.

SEVKSTT-I'IVC MILLION GALLONS PER PAY. In a letter from Houghton, Michi gan. to the Chicago Record,the writei describes the Calumet and Heela numb named the Michigan, which is a truly marvelous piece of mechanism, ltcan deliver 2,f00,000 gallons of water every hour in the twenty four without being crowded to its limit of capacity, and it will do the work with scarcely as much noise as is made bv tho.opeartion of ail old style sewing machine. Outside the doors of the g.ieat building which houses it no sound is heard from within, and, atanding beside the monster, upon the brink of the pit connected with the lake from which the wates is taken, almost the only sound is the noise of the suction, as with every stroke more than a thousand gallons are lifted. Briefly, it is a triple expansion pumping engine with acapacityof Go, ooo,Otro gallons, standing nearly fifty feet in liight and requiring 1,500 horse power for its o; oration. It has been proved by actual tests that the nominal capacity can be easily main tained for an indefinite time without injury or strain, and that pushed to jts full capacity the pump could han dle approximately 75, 000,000 gallons in consecutive hours Tha duty of the pump is to furnish water for the great stamp mills of the Calumet and Hecla Company, which twenty-two steam pumps in contin. uous operation, daily pulverizing 5, 000 tons of conglomerate rook into *and so fine that it can be carried a way by a stream of swiftly running water. The pump is boused in a spe cial building near the shore of Torch Lake and below the mills ann it forces a study stream of water to the upper portion ot the mill, where innumerable small gets play upon the great slime tables and jigs. Here the si ecifiegrav ity of the fine particles of copper con tained in the rock seperate the mineral from worthless sand, and the size and force of the stream of water are so tiicciy regulated as to wash a way the sand and yet carry with it the minimum of copper.—Scientific American. A SAD DEATH. Thursday night at the home of he r mother, Mrs. Vada 15. Reese, on Col lege avenue, Miss Annabel Reese passed away alter a brief illness. Some time since she passed through a long illness with typhoid fever which left her in an infeeblcd state of health and from this attack ef several weeks since she never rallied. The death of this popular young lady has cast a gloom over many .hearts in Athens today. On the very theshhold of young womanhood, the Grim Reaper with unrelenting hand gathered in the lovely flower to he transplanted to celestial climes. Miss Reese was a talented and ac complished young lady; of lovable disposition, she easily acquired friends and today those friends mourn her death sincerely. To the grid-stricken mother and other relatives the sympathies of hosts of friends arc extended. The funeral services were held at the residence on College avenue yes terday afternoon at five o’clock, and were conducted by Rev. W- R. b oote. The choir, which was composed of Prof, and Mrs. Euler B. Smith, Miss Moselle Lyndon, Mrs. Hampton and Mr. E, J. Bondurant, sang “Jesus Lover of My Soul,” and after services .‘Home of my Soul'’ and “Abide with Me.” Services were closed at Oconee cemetery. —Athens Banner. Richest Man in the World. John D. Rockefeller sleeps 84 hours every night, retiring tit 10:30 and ris ing at 7. Every morning when he gets up he is $17,705 richer than lie was when he went to bed. He. sns down to breakfast at 8 o’clock and leaves the table at 8:30, and in that shoit time his wealth has grown sl,- 041.50. On Sunday he goes to church and in the two hours that he is away from home his riches have grown s±,- 166. His nightly amusements i s playing the violin. Every evening when he picks up the instrument lie is $50,000 richer than he was when he •aid it down the previous night; These little facts give some idea of tire relentless growth of this man’s fortune. Just how Mr. Rockefeller’s fortune Jumped $2,000,000 in three months i s eaidy explained. He owns 500,0000 shares of the Standard Oil company, jor u triflle more than one-lialf of the i total capitalization. The pur value of jtbeso is $50,000,000. In February -Si3fc the certificates were sold at s2bo ... ihis figure his holdings were worth $130,000,000. To-day, at 300, they are worth $150,000,000 Last Au gust Standard Oil certificates were sold atsß"h At this figure his hold ,ng were worth $05,000,000, or $55,-. 000,000 less than they arc today. Jay Gould achived world wide fame as a money-maker. When he died ho left $72,000,000 and the world stood aghastat thejwondnrful achievement of tlie man —$72, 000,000 in 4o years 82, 000, c00 a year. But here is a man whose wealth has grown at the rate of $6,000,000 a month, and the outside world scarcely dreams of it; a man who earned his first quarter of a dollar hoeing pota toes on a Tioga comity farm, in the upper part of New York State; a man who who 35 years old did not have sl,ooo to his name. Rockefeller’s weallit is not all locked up in tiie Standard Oil company. He has nearly a solid $ 100, 000,000 in. vested in many enterpises of vast mag nitude. In real estate he'has tied up $15,000,000; in steamship lines, $2,- 000,000; in iron mines, f> 15,000,000; in railroad stocks and bonds, $25,000,- 000; in bank stock, $8,000,000; in nat ural gas stock, $4,000,000; in manu factured gas stock, 83,000,000; in Gov eminent bonds 000,000, and in cash about $2 000,000, All of the figures just given are ap proximate, as the securities are con stantly fluctating, and the incessant flow of investments; A total estimate however, of $244,000,000 can be re garded as conservative. This places John D. Rockefellow at the head of the mmillionaires, not only of this country, but of the world. None of potentates of the world has the for tune or thejincome of Mr. Rockefeller Queen Victoria receives $2, 000,000 a year, about one-ninth of the income of" Rockefeller, and out of this sum she must spend $1,700,000 to maintain j the court She doesn't even have the pleasure of spending it either; the J Government performs performs that duty. The Czar of Russia enjoys a t rifle larger Income than Victoria, but officers of the court attend to the spending of it. But r.o one dictates the disposition of the Rockefeller income, lie can invest it in interest hearing securities, give it, away to Baptist churches and colleges or build floral timepieces in Tie gardens of his Tavrytown palace. There is one important question connnected with the fabulous growth of this man’s fortune, and that, i What will it amount to in next 2o years, should Mr. Rockefeller he „• that long?

Why is not the cruelty to the litlle almost helpless Public School GniiUre.i , equally ns much of n punishable (a lie When one thinks for a few moments how he or she would like to be made, —under penalty of punishment at borne —to go to the average country school and there be compelled to sit all-day upon the seats that we grovvn-up-ehilu ren become so thoroughly disgusteo with even during just thh few minutes that it is required of us to sit there in order to listen to some few songs or the hort Sunday School services. These children are punished nearly every day, and for several mouths, yet appears to he no plan on foot hiking toward remedying of this ent'n-ly un-j necessary suffering oil the part of toes • , children. It is something that deni a 0.7 1 the serious consider:’*tk.n of every man woman and child in this and every 01 h< r County. Ofcours- the Board of Kduca t ion well knows this, and are power!*-ss to do anything toward fitting up these schoolhouses with Seats and Desks that j would be fit to be used by the adult, persons,unles they are supplied with: the money to buy these necessities. We do uol doubt that they would get ! all they would require if they had any place to get it from, this they have net. Now! the Jl)tJ U N L makes the following proposition ; e will give to the School that lias the most popular Teacher in Banks county, whether it he a lady or gentleman, a set of both S-*ats and Desks, free of cost to the County. Those seats and Desks will be comfort ante too. They Will tie suit-able for "hi and young, and will enable the scholar.-' to do much bettor studying. Every body lias an opportunity, and should endeavor to have the school that they patronize fixed up better than any other school in the county. Therefore, you ought to go to work, and try to se secure this very valuenble addition to your school. And if it is your Best vir • or ) Best Fellow that proves to be the most popular School Teacher in Bank-- County, it will make him or her proud indeed, of both the high compliment and of the honor of teaching the nicest furnished school in this county. In order, to make an effort to have this high compliment conferred upon tin* Teacher and his or her school, it is necessary for you to use one of the ac companying tickets, and each and ev ery vote must be accompanied with on ■ new yearly (cash-in-advunce-paid-up new ) subscription to the BAX K b COUNTY JOURNAL, at only so,socts per annum, Fill this out, cut it out and forward.

Asa rule, the stand is fair, and there have boon hut few complaints of lice and other insect enemies. The rainfall has been deficient in some por tions of tiio state, b".u in most localities there Has been enough for cotton, which requires bui litre) vain until fruiting commences. Taking into consideration all the questions alf siting this crop, and the verdict mast be nat at this date it is in good condition and growing off well, but from to: days to two wooks later than an average crop. In many connties the rainfall lias not been sulli dent for the host development of this crop, though in bat fw places has this deii. iouey been sufficient to came serious injur -. Too crop, how ever, is just n ),v at its critical stage, particularly in the lower half of the state, and frequent aud abundant rains during July will be needed to insure o*i abundant yield. If our farmers would take more paius in preparing their corn land, by deeper plowmg, etc., a good crop would! bo raised with rard loss rain than is now required. Swal low breaking un of land forces the corn roots to feed near the surface, and then u very moderate drouth produces seri ous results. WHIS AT.
