On the battleship “Georgia*’ there is a silver service presented by th<* people of this stat* which was mad*- possible by the indefatigable work <>t Miss Louise DuBose, of this city. For months this young lady wrote letters and organized a Camapign of educa tion on the line of partiotism on the part of our people to donate a sum sufficient for the purchase of a ..silver service which would be in keeping with the occasion and at the same time a credit to the state for white: the battleship was named. The amount, ten thousand d'dlars. was subscribed and the service purchased; the service was presented on Georgia Day at the Jamestown exposition in the presence o fthousands of Geor gians and citizens from all sections of the world. President K osevelt was present and participated in the exercises; army and navy officers, representing all the fort ign countries were present; the gift of the service from the people of Georgia was her alded from one section of the country tx> the other by associated news ser vice; and the many towns and cities which have their names engraved on the service are today receiving the honor and attention of tin* people of this country, and in every countr\ where this ship is anchored, for then- liberality in donating the amount sufficient fer its purchase. After all the honor, after all tin- patriotism shown by our citizens there are quite a number of towns and cities which are enjoying the distinction of having their names appear on the .-ervir • and not one cent of tie ir subscrip tions have been paid. Is it right i<> these places to receive the benefit-! without paying their part? We think not. and feel that when the matter N brought to their attention through the press of the state each town am! city which has subscribed will duti fully make up the amount which ha* been credited to them and forward a remittance to Miss Du Hose, ;it Ath ens. Surely Miss DuBoso will not b- expected to pay the balance which I - due the jeweler. $f*0b.25, while the va rious places which are due the amounts sufficent to pay in full the jeweler’s bill sit idly by and do no; make an effort to raise the amount of the obligations made by th»ir citizen** The promise to pay notes have been made; will the people o fthese town* repudiate them? The Atlanta Constitute n. comn.en’ Ing editorially on the subject h is tli” following to say; “A balance of $ HO is --till due on the silver service presented by the people of this state to the battleship “Georgia." The deficiency is divided among several towns and cities which guaranteed Miss Ivoiiise Du Hose, of Athens, the sponsor for the move ment, specified contributions toward the total. The names of these towns and cities are already engraved on the service, so that wherever tho bat tleship goes they are receiving credit In common with the communities which have fully discharged their ob ligations. “This is not fair to the prompter towns and cities, to Miss DuBose or lo the firm that supplied the service. "It is the routine practice in clubs and other cooperative organizations to “post’ in a conspicuous place the names of delinquent members, side by side with the amount involvel. The method generally brings results, since few men desire that their friends or the public should know that they have not met obligations to which they voluntarily hound themselves. “The Constitution mentions no names and it is not the desire of th-"* sponsor for the “Georga” fund to have recourse to the plan of making pub lic the names of the delinquent towns and the amounts unsettled. “If, however, litigation for the un paid balance or other development' should ibe the means of such ex posure, we are quite sure that, none of these progressive, well-to-do towns or cities would relish this form of advertising. “They are amply able, by appropria tion or public subscription, to make up the amount to which they pledged themselves. “We arc convinced that the towns and cities which shall be nameless for the present, are too commendably proud of their financial and civic standing to accept credit before tha world for a patriotic distinction to world for a patriotic distinction to which they are not. *;et eutit e.i' tiomjble at this time of the year. It is manifestly improper to - make Christmas a time of drinking and carousal. It is likewise improper to indulge so much in the use of fire works. We would not take away from child hood the innocent enjoyment of fire crackers, but the use of the large can non crackers, torpedoes and the like is clearly dangerous for children and in the case of grown people is inex cusable. To make Christmas a time of inter minable noise, aregular bedlam as it were, is not in keeping with the sa cred nature of the day and should be discountenanced. Tile Banner hopes that the people of Athens will disapprove of this pro miscuous use of fireworks. Certainly th**y should obey the law and keen within the limits prescribed by th** law. Tint is to be expected of law- abiding citizens. The law is a good one and should be enforced, and the police authorities should he upliel i in the enforcement of it. loot’s pass one quiet Christmas in Athens, free from tin* abomination of cannon ckers and torpedoes. ABOUT PANICS. Within the memory of the present generation there have been feur pan ics in this country and it is interest ing to note the dates and circumstan ces surrounding them. The panic of l >7?. was one of the greatest panics of recent times in this country. It came at a time when the democratic party had control of neither branch of tin- government. Grant was presi ifint and the house and senate were both republican. The panic of ISM was of less duration. It came when Arthur was president and when the republican pan v was chargeable with the di rection of governmental affairs. The p nic < f 1V»:J, which was a severe panic, started within two months at !• t lie* election of Grover Cleveland, iii!' was in effect the result of republi can legislation under the adniinistra I ri.ui of Harrison. The democratic party had not taken hold of tin- af hairs of the government at the time this panic canto ui>cn the country, ji j a ,i.s p:\ic:ieally over IkM'oiv tin- term I of Mr Cit v< land ended. The piv.-tr.t panic has cccumd eii 'rite.>dore Roosevelt has i ,• • -i. i -;d-lit I * r six years and wln-a tin hoi j that th- times. art ’■jsolu SENSELESS USE OF FIREWORKS. The ordinances of the city forbid the discharging of fireworks within the fire limits and even outside the fire limits the placing of torpedoes on the street railway tracks Is forbid den. The police authorities have been instructed to enforce these ordinances and the public shoulfi take notice. The people in this country have n queer way of celebrating Christmas. It should be a day regarded aa a day Ot Joy, hot there are different kinds of Joy end some of them we objee- I- «»f tdio republican paity. democratic party bring.-* hard • ritics about unset11--d < omii lions in tli • cjuntry, causes busim-s.- 10 s*;’ -'.'.at' . *c.

CHAINGANG F£R PISTOL TOTERS The brutal murder of Officer Manie of the Atlanta police f .roe. by a drunk en negro but illu.-trat .-> in a most forceful manner tin* neeessit\ for ; crusade against Gn* carrying of co:i sealed weapons that will wipe mi. that practice in G.i> state. Tin- law is on the statute books of tile stat and is penalty amp!,- t<> break up the practice il* the < l!u*rs an ! tli courts and tile juries do their duty. It is not such tm awful hard Job to discover the earning of concealed weapons. When a man is arrested on any charge whatsoever and a weapon is found on his jhtsou, h • should at once be bound over on the charge of earning concealed weapons. The juries should promptly convict and the courts should do the rest. The law of Georgia gives the presid ing judge tile right to send the often dor to the county chaingang for a period of twelev months. As a rule the man convicted of carrying conceal ed weapons is let off with a line o. fifty or seventy-five dollars. Let tli courts have but on.* punishment for this offense. Lei them send tne of fenders to the gang for the limit of the law. If such is practiced by tie* courts in this state a while there will lx* fewer conceal*.d weapons. A man will hesitate a long time he fore he will put a weapon in his po :k et, if lie knows there is a certainty » f twelve months in the gang if he i« caught. While it is? true that quite a num ber of young white men are in th * habit of carrying pistols in their pockets, this practice is not so pro valent with the whites as it is with the negroes, in cities you might round up a crowd of negroes on the streets and in a majority of case*, you would find pistols in their i>ockets. It is up to the courts to stop this practice. It is striking at the very foundations of peace and good order in Georgia. If allowed to go on os r has in the past the carrying of con cealed weapons will sooner or later result in riot of the most serious kind. BRYAN AND THE TARIFF. As The Banner has pointed out time and again, the democratic party can do no better than go to *h» . next jv*u on the tariff ivO.-.n issue This is Site- issue above all ouurs that jomir ii'-ds the attention of the people, for it strikes at the root of all evils In the economics of the country. There is some opposition to Mr. Bryan here and there throughout the country, and lately it has cropped out in Alabama. If it be analyzed, it will be found to emanate chiefly from re presentatives of the protected Indus tries. Representative Cooper, of Teams,' strikes the nail on the head when he "Tariff revision, or tariff reform has ' been the rallying cry of the Autocrat ic party for the past forty years. Up on that issue we elected in 1884 and re-elected in 1892 the only democratic president chosen since 1S56. There te, in my judgment,greater and more imemdiate need for tariff revision now than at any other period in our history. True democrats recognize this and are determined to make a concerted and united effort to relieve the people of the increasing burden of unjust taxation Imposed upon them b> the Dingley tariff. It will not escape the attention of democrats that his lat est opposition to Mr. Bryan and to ta riff reform, of which he is an advo cate. is voiced from the center of the coal and iron industry of Alabama and at a time when that, industry has pass ed recently into the hands of the steel trust, a corporation that is one of the greatest beneficiaries of the Dinglev tariff rates." SHOULD TURN MONEY LOOSE. Throughout the recent money panic in this country there has been no city in the South to get along better than Alle ns. There has arose no necessity re for the issuing of any clearing house certificates. Tin re was no trou ble for any depositor in getting his own !i:oiii-y out of the banks whenever he want* 1 it. The banks went right, along leaning money on approved col lateral. In fact the panic didn't hit Athe ns as hard as it did other places. Rut now tie* time lias come not onl** in Athens but throughout the entire country for the people to realize that this has keen simply a scare and in nality n.» real panic. If the people would recover from their fright and nun In's.* the hoarded money every thing would case up in a remarkably short time. The (’kattanoogn N* \vs has the fol lowing to say on this quest! n: “Tilt* government lias called on national hanks of tin* country foi staieim-nt of condition at the cl of business Dec* tuber 2. and the gen- .-ml in-preV-ion is that tin* call will slr.w that flu* country lias plenty of ireney. Of this there can be no doubt. The country never bad more mom" in all of its history and the banks a:--- in irood condition, so far as cash is cone. rued. Th** trouble is. and has been, that too much of this mone.* in the hunks. 1* ought to be* in cit* cu1i*!'.!i. th-reby discharging its nat ural functions. A senseless fright compel 1 .* d banks all ovt r the country •o hoard their cash. But for this mid <» '..-•'-i; • . s. and no f- at* of a collaps ** \ di.-paH’h from (’iiicago publi^h- •1 in yrstr'.day’s i sue of the Chatr-- a*.* -,a N-*ws said Hiat tie* banks . ! that city contained over SJOO.OOO.fiUO • •f mom y. -• n«l that tin* banks through out the West were likekiso full ot* it. Doubt less, this is the condition all ov *r tin* country, and what is needed now more than all esle is a confidence hat v.il' warrant the banks in turning loose all of their idle cash to start 'he wheels of industry anew in al' ••arts of this country. Business lin*- suffered considerably by reason of t.i* recent panic, but we are confident tha the crisis is pas.crd and that norm i •on-litions will prevail within a she. t time. “Tin* South was never in better c >*.i- lition than it is at the present time. Three cotton crops aggregating n* : lv IfMiuO.uOo hales, have been sc Id ;•« an a\orage price of ten and a bait cents per pound. The present crop is a good oik*, and middling cotton is now worth eb von rents. Ib ices are grad ually advancing and the indications are for at bast, a twelve cent marker •vitkin throe we* ks.

We can n t con-' *i\e of a mo»' • senseless tiling. \Ye believe that the time lias conic for the people and the banks to statu together and put th** last, lingering evidence of panic to flight. 1 h* y car do it if they will.’’ CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. As the holiday season approaches every one has that restless feeling so common in the lives of our people at this s< ason of the year. We plan for the occasion mouths In advance and every one has a desire to enter into the spirit of giving and usually jus- before the day arrives, the crowds surging from store to store make it unpleasant is not impossible, to secure suitable presents for those whom we desire to remember. Many, however. Cake time by the forelock and do tbei: shopping days in advance. This cus tom should be adopted by every one and the crowds which gather on the streets and in the stores would be waited upon by the clerks with ease and at the same time the purchsers would get more desirable presents for those to whom they wish to give than by waiting until the last minute to buy. Our merchants have bought an unusually large stock of holiday goods and a class bf goods as good as can be found in any of the large cities of the country.* They have the sales- iorce to wait on you. They will store your purchases for you until the giv ing day arrives. You will profit by buying now and at the same time help the merchants and the clerks who are working during the holidays from twelve to fifteen hours a day and oa their feet practically the whole time Under these conditions, won’t you be one to become an early shopper? Athens people have always been early buyers in a degree, but now that Athens has grown into the big city class, we must adopt the~methods best suited for the convenience of the great mass of people who are citizens of this pfhee and in. doing so we are help ing ourselves to make Christmas shopping easy for every one. Remember today, and do your shop ping while you have the pick of the many stocks now being displayed by our merchants. AOKI'S RETURN TO JAPAN. The recalling of Ambassador Aofcl bv the Mikado at this time is cal- t ulated to cause considerable discus sion and to make people indulge in more or less talk about impending war between the United States and Japan. This is emphasized, as it •.eve. by the fact that the American win ships are soon to leave for Pacific waters. Yet there is no reason why the recall of the Japanese ambassa dor should be taken as a dissatisfac : mi the part of the Mikado with the state of affairs between tli*.* two nations The fact. is. Ambassador A ki is *1.1 and has practically served bis day and generation. He wants to L*o back home, ami the act of tin* Mi- I- ado may he in an aver to his express, e l wish. The s.-ntiments of tin* Jap- niiese finders have been expressed *U lecent months by numbers of the fore- nai-l men *-f 'tin* nation, including tin* i ul**i* liims* if. They are such as !•> give assurance of tin* utmost good feeling on the part of the Japanese government. There ar<* hot-headed Japanese just tin* same as there are jingo Americans, who would like to see war 1-etw* • n the two nations. But tin- numb* r of this class is very small and they cut n<> figure in the Japan cse public affairs. The departure of the Aennicau fleet to the waters of tin* Pacific ma.* cause more or fi ss war tirfk. but do not believe th* re is any founda tion lor it. As tin* nupoaraiic“s nr* jiis-t now. there seems to be no reas on for tin* appreh- n.-don of th• ■ leasi trouble h.MU'-eii the United Stai*s and Japan. COTTON REPORT «0 SLUMP Government Figures Gave the Bears Much Consolation The government cotton report yes terday, showing an estimate of more than eleven million, six hundred thous and bales for this year’s crop of cot ton. had the effect cf causing a slump of fifty points in the price of the staple. The local- market felt the ef feet of the slump and went off a lit tie more than a quarter of a cent \ pound. Cotton men here believe, however, that there will be a rc-actlon and that prices will go back again to where they were when the report was made.

But when this is done fer no l**i!**r purpero than t<> shelve a <•< main men. fi is unworthy of real Democrats.

But the Democrats who run about tin* country trying to stir up opposi tion to Mr. Bryan an 1 trying to frame a platform purposely to keep him from running, are not to be encour aged. It is proper to give though* to the platform, but Improper to make it subservient to the d< feat or tli" success of any one candidate for pres idential honors. The Banner lias never agreed with Mr. Bryan on many issues, but it looks as if be wore the only man in debt for the nomination.

From tlie Washington ILrnld. Improved processes for reducing milk to the form of a powder or com pressing it into ‘ablets, have led to an increasing use of milk in these forms. Powdered or compressed milk is not only employed for provisioning | ships and for transportation to dls- ' t.,nt places, but for tlie use of hali ers and confectioners. In France a I new process f .r powdering milk has | rec-rtiy been invented.
