Atlanta is to have another railroad.
The University had an unusually good
lot of speaktrs this year.
The Banner's Souvenir Summer School
edition, issued yesterday, haB been high
ly complimented on all sides.
Athens should do her part toward the
erection of the proposed electric railroad
from this city to Carnesville.

KEEPING HIS PLEDGE.
The Washington Pott, discussing the proposition of Congressman Hard
wick to repeal the fonrteenth and filteenth amendments to the Federal con
stitution, says:
Representative-elect Thomas William Hardwick, of the Tenth G> orpin
district is determined to keep faith with hit conititnenta. Having won the
title to a seat in the Fifty-eighth congress by pledging himself to open a cam
paign for repealing the fifteenth amendment, he declares his intention to be-
gin that work as soon as congress convenes. Of course, it is proper for Mr.
Hardwick to redeem his pledge, bnt it is to be hoped on his account, that he
did not inspire his people with a confident expectation that hig efforts would
be crowned with success. Amending the constitution is the only prccees by
which any change in the text of that instrument oan be made. Mr. Hard
wick is a young man, having been born in 1812, seven years after the lastgnn
in the conflict that created the three war amendments had been fired, but he
is probably aware that those are the ody amendments that have been de
clared adopted since 1804. And Mr. Hardwick may be assumed to know that
the methods by which these amendments were carried are not available "in
these weak, piping timeB of peace.” Mr Hardwick says :
"The great masses of the people have never by popular vote c< nsented to
negro enfranchisement Indeed, wherever the question has beeen submitted
to them they have always been opposed to it.
"The North, East and West are struggling today with questions of a
somewhat kindred natnre to that which confronts ns in the Scnth. They are
honeycombed with socialists and anarchists and with an absolutely ignorant
and a confessedly vicious foreign element
"Public sentiment along these lineB is certainly, surely, ani vet rapidly,
crystaliziDg. Iu my opinion, the earnest wish for a reform of this character
has come.
• Surely we have made great progress when the republican secretary of
war finds himself impell.-d, by an intellectual honesty to which he dare not be
false, to confess that the negroes are uDtit for suffrage.
"1 believe that the time's not far distant when the haltnce of the Union
will gladly couc-de to the South the right to regulate its own franchise laws
— to solve its problems in its owu way."
It is the almost universal conviction of intelligent citizens in all sections
that the fifteenth amendment was one of the greatest and mast disastrous
mistake! ever mads. This has bsen tin domi taut feeling for mmy years.
How strong it is, may be in'erred from the fact the republican p .rty—repub
lican congresses and republican administrations—have practically abandoned
not only the enfranchising amendment, bnt the provision in the fonrteenth
amendment for reducing representation. And if Mr Hardwick has kept tab
on supreme court decisions touching this question, he has learned mnch that
was not expected by republican extremists a few years ago, bnt which they
have managed to digest without very great diffieu’ty.
Between silent acqniescence in or tacit consent to evasions of the intent
of the fifteenth amendment and an uprising of the people to repeal that mis
take, there is a wide difference, as Mr. Hardwick will find out If he should
continue lu congress until two thirds of both houses votfe to send this propo
sition to the states and three-fonrthB of the legislatures adopt It, he will be
the most venerable "father of the house" in she list of these revered patri-
4.
arebs. Under present conditions, which show that but little of old-time sec
tionalism snrvives, the expediency of the step which Mr. Haidwick proposes
is questionable. And this, we snspi ot, will be the view of older and more ex
perienced Southern congressmen.

Why Our Bit) Trusts Are Beneficial
By WILLIAM R. MERRIAM, Ex-Director of the United States Census
CANNOT HELP COMING TO THE CONCLU
SION THAT THE CONCENTRATION IN A
FEW HANDS OF SO LARGE A NUMBER OF
THE INDUSTRIAL CONCERNS THROUGHOUT
THE COUNTRY MUST HAVE AN EFFECT
LIKE BALLAST ON A SHIP—TO STEADY THE SITUA
TION ; that the evolution which has gone on so constantly during the
last half dozen years, by which all sorts of productive institutions
have been welded, has resulted in placing the management of these
large concerns in the hands of men of the highest experience and of
great financial strength.
Certain industries, like the iron and steel industry, controlled as
they are hy comparatively few men owning the raw material and
the transportation facilities, and finally producing the manufactured
article, must l*e in a better situation to restrict the output and adjust
supply to demand with less of loss than could possibly be expected
were their constituent companies resolved into original ownership,
with consequent competition and cost of administration. •
IN OTHER WORDS, IS IT NOT A FACT THAT THE IRON AND
STEEL INDUSTRY, THAT THE SUGAR INDUSTRY, THAT THE COM
BINATIONS PRODUCING VARIOUS ARTICLES OF NECESSITY WILL
BE ENABLED BY THEIR FINANCIAL STRENGTH AS WELL AS BY
THEIR ABLE MANAGEMENT TO ADJUST THE AFFAIRS OF THEIR
CORPORATIONS TO CHANGING CONDITIONS AND THUS PUT OFF,
OR AT LEAST GREATLY MITIGATE, THE ERA OF DEPRESSION
WHICH HAS BEEN SO COMMON IN OUR COUNTRY? " .<*
The existence of a union passenger de
pot in Athens would be worth a good
deal to the people of Athens, to the
ttaveling public and to the railroads.
The Banner is bopefnl that the Chamber
of Commerce will take this important
matter op at their next meeting and take
some steps toward gettlog the nnion
depot.

Impaired Digestion
May not be all that Is meant by dysprpsia
Dow, but it will be if neglected.
The uneasiness after eating, fits ot nerv
ous headache, sourness of the stomach, and
disagreeable belching may not be very bad
now, but they will be if the stomach is
suffered to grow weaker.
Dyspepsia is such a miserable disease
that the tendency to it should be given
early attention. This is completely over
