Al of our respectable merchants endorse our squib on the infamous practice in Athens of pulling customers Into stores, and say they hope Council will remedy the evil. We have heard several farm ers say if it wasn’t stopped they would quit trading in Athens. Jefferson Merchants.—A gentleman who has just returned from Atlanta tells us that the merchants of Jefferson are buying their goods now In that city. He saw boxes marked to men who h;".d al ii ays traded with Athens. These goods are shipped over the new road, which is now running within seven miles of Jef ferson. A Dream Fulfilled.—There is n mer chant now doing business in Athens who while in camp during the war dreamed that his sister died and that she was bur ied at a certain spot in the garden. In a few days he received a letter from home announcing her death and upon liis return home found her buried in the exact spot of which he had dreamed.

Several of his congrega tion also stepped up and said they'd take perfection in ther’n, too. Georgia Pharmaceutical Asso ciation.—The next meeting of this Association, on the second Tuesday in April, 1883, will convene In Athens.

McDon ald. of Dawson, committed suicide by throwing himself on the railroad truck, while under the influence of liquor, and was run over by a train and killed. Mr. McDonald was a law yer, and a graduate of the class of 1877, of the State University. lUi.i.houi.n.—The young men from town who go visiting over the river, find it rather unpleasant of late. The truth is there are a number of bad boys who get behind trees und bushes and seem to take a fiendish delight in showering rocks at the heels of some of our nicest '■mvs, just to see them run. These bad hoys call it “ making ’em tote tlie mail. - ’ Willow Baskets.—a Mrs. Moon, a white lady living in Madison coun ty, keeps our city supplied wlththe nicest willow baskets we ever saw, of her own manufacture. They are sold much cheaper than the Northern work. A Mean Act.—Some person poisoned one of Mr. McDuffiie’s fine New Found- la id dogs.

He says he will take the bankrupt act, the home stead law and every other bomb-proof belore lie will pay fortlie animal. Ax Athens Saddle.—We were yester day shown a saddle made at the shops of Mr. T. G. Hadaway, for Mr. Joha Hope hull, that was as fine a piece of work as we ever saw. No Northern made saddle can surpass itln beauty of finish. This is a new boom for our enterprising little city. Hadaway is also turning out some of the finest harness ever manufactured in the South. A Strange Fight. — Yesterday there was a fight between an old gan der and a Jersey cow, on Dr. Hamil ton’s lot, when tlie bin! came out vic tor. It flew upon the head of the cow and gave her such » beating with its beak and wings that the animal ran bellowing ott. A Garden Farm.—Mr. DockDor- sey will this year plant five acres in vegetables, to supply tlie Athens mar ket. He has already placed ou the land 200 loads of manure, and planted wo bushels of onion sets. Dock also intends to erect one of the fiuest barns iu this section. The World Stationary.—A white minister living above Athens announces from the pulpit his belief that the world is stationary. He says it it moved all the water would tum ble out of the creeks and rivers. And yet some people insist on sending missionaries to China. Horse Collars.—If some enterpris ing person would sturt a factory in Athens for the manufacture of bark and sliuck collars, such as armsold by negroes, it would pay well. Machin ery to do the plaiting and stitching would not cost much. The demand for them is enormous. The Acme.—Up to the 1st inst. no less than ti00 letters came directed to that in famous Acme Iin|x»rting Company, which shows the gullibility of tlie public. One old farmer ill Texas saw tile adver tisement in bis religious journal, and banded a friend $G to order a bushel of corn ; but the party suspecting some thing wrong wrote to Dr. Orr, who sav ed the old man his money, besides $2 he hail sent to pay expenses. “Uncle Davie Patman.”—We learn that some of the Primitive Bap tist denomination have taken excep tions to the article on the death of this good man, and are blaming the editor of the paper. We will here state that it was a communication, not written by us, and we are in no ways resjionsible for it. It was penned by a personal friend to holder Patman, who would not have intentionally re flected upon his life or good works. Filler McEIroy will reply to it, cor recting some wrong impressions the writer was laboring under. The Athens Collectors hip.—A peti tion was in circulation yesterday asking the reappointment of Mr. George Ware as Collector of Internal Revenue in Ath ens. Mr. Ware has made a faithful offi cer, and it is the unanimous wish that he be retained. An Atlanta negro named Wimberly is an applicant for the place, with a strong probability of his appointment. It really seems that the white race Is to have no showing at the Federal offices in the 9tli district. It is not the case in other sections where they are not afflicted with an Independent Congressman. An Oi.ii.Timk Dakkv.—We yesterday had the pleasure, of a call from ” Uncle Jack Bell,” who represent ed Oglethorpe in the Constitutional Convention shortly after the war. This old man, who is now in his eighty-second year, has one of tlie most eventful and interesting histories we ever heard, and he has promised to submit to an inter view for publication which will be made next week. It will fill several columns, and prove of deep interest to the present generation. The strange! events in his life cap lie substantiated !by the best men in Oglethorpe county. Broke His Jug.-t-A colored trooper yesterdiiy purchased a bottle of cheap whisky,‘put., ii In a corn -aack- and started for home. He had gotten as far as Barber’s hill krhen by some mis hap or other the bag fell to the ground and bro^dtlie boltle. ’He immediate ly grabbed tip the bhg, moved hastily to one side of thd road, seated himself on a rock and commenced sucking the bag with all the ardor of his nature, presenting very much tbejappsarance of a snake trying to swallow a frog. “We raised not a stone and carved not aline, But left l»im aluue in l^is |lory.| r ' , An Eminent Visitor.—Gen.

A gentleman who has been doing bus iness with the operatives of the va rious cotton mills in Georgia, and brought in close contact with them, teUa ua that those at the Athens fac tory have ifnore money, are more relia ble, have better furnished houses and aro'Jn a more prospequs condition generally than any l,e has ever seen. This report reflects alike credit upon these operatives and the manager, Mr. R- L. Bloomfield. To Save His Dog.—While riding out the other evening one of the bug gy wheels passed over the leg of Mi. F’raiik Baldwin's dog, and that gen tleman, to save his canine, jumped from the vehicle while the horse was going at a rapid gait and narrowly es caped serious injury liimsFlf. XoSmall Pox.—Some of our citi zens have been receiving letters of in quiry about small pox in Athens. We will right here state that there is no small pox in the city, and our people have not tlie slightest fear of its com ing here. There never was a healthi er place than our city at this time. Damaged Corn.—F’ully one-fourth of the corn sent out from the West is damaged. It can easily be detected from the black kernels. Farmers should beware of this rotten corn, as it is killing a great deal of stock and will ruin tlie health of a human being to cat bread made from it. Yesterday morning we sauntered in to the cosy office of Capt. Wm. Wil- 1 7* as > 0,6 genial and efficient- agent of the Southern Express Company in our city. “How about the reduction in tariff made by the Railroad Commission?” we asked. Well, it only partially effects the ns office. On the North-Eastern l , Atr-Lir\t, the 1st inst., a reduc tion was made of from 20 to 100 per oent.—but over the Georgia the rates are unchanged. There is’an injunc tion prayed for against the Commis sion by the authorities of that road, and old prices continue to rule there.” “Can you give some of the figures over the North-Eastern ?’’ “Certainly. To all points this side of Harmony Grove we only get 40 cents per 100 pounds; to Clarkesville, 50 cents—used to he 75 that far; To Gainesville, 50 cents—formerly 75 cents; to Elberton. $1—former price $1.<5; and to all other points in pro portion. To Atlanta, express is same over each road, the reduction only ef fecting way stations. Last month it took every cent we received over the North-Eastern to pay them for carry ing our freight, leaving nothing for messenger and trouble.” “Don’t the Athens Express office pay expenses, Captain?” “It does for three months in the y*aj, but after tiiat time is run at a Our" expenses here are very heavy. We pay out considerably over $200 every month, outside of salaries, and every cent of this is circulated in Athens. Feeding our horses cost $100 per month.” What do you think of the justice of this reduction ?” “There is no law or justice in it. That Commission had as well te|l a merchant how much profit he must make on his goods, or dictate to a wag" oner what he shall be paid per mile for hauling a bale of cotton. This is a private company, and I do not see ths justice in making them work without profit, as is now the case.” “What do you pay the railroads for use of their transportation?” “We pay 65 cents per hundred over the Georgia, and charge only $1. You see this only leaves 35 cents to pay messengers, agents, office rent, anil keep up our teams. Tlie only chance the Express Company lias to get even Is by the increased business the low rates may bring them. Merchants can now ship many goods cheaper by express than freight, and will no doubt take advantage of the change.” “There is no probability of the of fice at Athens being discontinued?” “None whatever, I suppose. We have to keep up the small offices as feeders to the business, even if they are run at a loss. There will be no change made in its management, as it is now run as economically as possi ble.” “Good morning, Captain.” “Good day, sir. Call again.” PUBLIC DOCUMENTS. We are under obligations to Sena tor Joseph E. Brown for public docu ments. Our judeairnf is, that tlie Hon. Joseph will keep us enlightened until the Ninth Distric t is again represent ed In Washington. r ,, . ,— . ... . Mr. Speer whjfn the ihjury or injus- Committke-on AVays av!> \r*, KS ttge to us, if ..committed at all, was ST* An Herbist.—There is a man in Athens named Long Goody Smith who makes a living by digging roots for doctors in Athens. He says thut we have in our woods nearly every medicinal root and herb known to the medical profession. This is another mine of wealtli for Athens. Land Wanted.—We have a letter from Mr. William M. Dickinson, Kimbleville, Pennsylvania, request ing sample copy of Banner-Watchman and wanting information about lands in this section. Any of our patrons wishing to sell lands would do well to write to Mr. Dickinson giving de scription, price, Ac. Killed A Mad-Dog.—Yesterday a large brindle dog followed a country man to the Town Hall, when some one noticed that the animal was foam ing at the mouth, his eyes were green and it manifested other symptoms of hydrophobia. A council of war was held, and the animal sent to the hap py land of carmine with a few well- directed pistol shots. After The Negro Vote.—In his anti-Chinese speech Congressman Speer paid the most fulsome compli ment to the negroes; and a gentleman tells us that he sent a marked copy of the oratiou to every prominent dar key in this district—but we havn’t heard of a white man being thus hon ored. Mr. Speer evidently knows which side his bread is buttered on. A Bad Accident.—The other day, while a youug man was indulging in a quiet chew of tobacco, he ejected about a quart of ambler out into the street just as a young lady came sail ing by. Her dress caught' the entire charge, and for a few seconds the fair pedestrian thought she had come in contact wlththe nozzle of the Hope steamer. At last accounts the young man had apologized to five irate broth ers, an indignant father, seven uncles and other kindred too numerous to count. Moot Court- Another very interesting case was argued on last Saturday evening in the Moot Court by Messrs. Ware and Washington, plaintiff’s attorneys, and Messrs. Calhoun and Murrow, de fendant’s attorneys. The case was an action of debt; The general issue was whether parties are still liable for debts contracted during the Confedera'* Government, after there was a suffi cient tender of the currency of that government, and during its existence. The case was well argued on both sides. The jury found for the defend ants with cost by plaintiff The court then adjourned until Saturday the 20th inst. The proceedings in these courts reflect credit upon the class and their sage instructor, Col. Wm. L. Mitchell. The revival season is approaching. ANOTHER BOOM FOR ATHENS. * * Probability of an Improved Cotton Oin and Ded- erick Press Being Erected in Our City. Messrs. Ivey a.id Atkinson, who have been investigating different points in Georgia with a view of locat ing one of the latest patent commer cial gins, were lately in Athens, and we learn that they are so well pleased with the advantages offered by our city that it is almost settled to build their works here, as no point in the State could be found offering as many advantages for the proposed business. They have found right in the heart of the cotton the finest water powers in the world, with railroads leading right to the doors of furmers, so that they can have seed cotton shipped directly to their gin. Any one who visited the Cotton Exposition will remember the Dederick press there on exhibited, and how the staple was packed in very small bales, without bagging and bound only with wire. It is claim ed that this process saves to the farmer two centsa pound on his cotton, which is an advantage to the South almost incalculable. The company proposes to buy seed cotton direct from the planters, and after ginning the same with improved machinery that will thoroughly cleanse it, puck as describ ed, when it will be ready for ship ment. The seed will be sold to the oil mill right at hand, und after extract ing the oil will resell to farmers as a fertilizer, which is pronounced supe rior to the green seed for that purpose. This will enable planters In this sec tion to realize fully two cents per pound more for their cotton than they now receive, besides getting a hand some profit for their seed. We have not heard the amount of money to be invested in this gin; but it will be somethi ng near $100,000, as everything will be on the best scale. Such enter prises as this is what Athens needs to insure her permanent prosperity. Our people have heretofore pi need too much relince on the educational advantages of Athens, to tlie neglect of far more important enterprises. Schools and colleges are very well so fur as they go, but there is no perma nent prosperity in them. Let us now begin to divide our attention with oth er improvements—chief among which are manufactories of all kinds. Our city shuuld extend to capitalists every advantage, and get them to invest their money in our midst. THE COTTON BOOM. . “Do you think cotton has touched the top notch yet?” we asked of Bob Tav- lor, the genial buyer, ye»t‘ rday. “I do not know. I feel pretty certain it will yet go to 13 cents, but not much higher.” “By what time?” “In the next 30 or 40 days.” “Are provisions still booming?" “You bet, aud there is no telling where they will stop.” Jug Tavern. Another victory is scored against the’ aesthetic craze. Jug Tavern de clines to change its name to Laura City. As Jug Tftveni, the litUe ham let first rose Into prominence with a railroad boom, and as Jug Tavern it proposes to continue its career. The decision of the plucky little town is to be applauded.

Some of the ignorant thought that judgment was at hand or some other great catastrophe about to happen. ton, D C., April lOtli. 1882.—Editors Constitution: I ask through the col- umusof your paper to reply/to l,the brutal attack on me In the Macon Tel egraph and Messengei of the 7th inst. f *f. uow , the policy of the Consti tution is hostile to me and to my rep resentation ofa Georgia Congression al district, hut I presume it will give me the opportunity to defend myself. I do not often claim the attention of the public to matters personal to me, and the most unjustifiable aud un manly provocation is iny excuse this time. In his comments on the homicide of young Mr. Rountree, Albert R. La mar, the editor of the Telegraph and Messenger, declares: “We recognize in this the legitimate conclusion of the partially successful attempt of Mr. Emory Speer to Africanize that por- tion of the State, to gratify his person- al ambition and vanity.” This proposition contains two pal pable untruths. It Ls stated that I have attempted to Africanize that por tion of the State. No act or utterance or ambition of mine can be truthfully held to show such attempt. My In- dependent candidacy and election to bad and can have no pitch eneet- Again, the deplorable death of Jlr. Rountree had no connection with a political cause. “We should feel better about the matter if we might justly lay the blame of the entire transaction to his (Mr. Speer’s) door.” writes Mr. Albert Lamar. This ge nial and Christian wish serves to show the cordial feeling of Mr. Lamar toward Mr. Speer, but the truth is Mr. Speer is no more connected with the death of Mr. Rountree than was any other member of Congress with any other breach of tlie peace in Georgia during hU term of service. No more, for instance than was the representative of tlie Savannah district with tlie regret ted^ hut still remembered occasion when, in that city, Mr. Wayne Rus sell, with the palm of his hand, buffet ed Mr. Albert Lamar on the face. I am no more responsible for the bloody tragedy in iny city than was the Sa vannah representative for the blood less ex parte encounter iu his. Mr. Luiuur continues: “But it is true, und it is about time for the peo ple of Athens and the surrounding country to awaken to a knowledge of the fact that they who have upheld and sustained this young man (Mr. Speer) in his anything hut admirable career, may have to tiear a part of the responsibility for the results which have followed.” Now, the animosity of Mr. Albert Lamar towards me is well understood, anil is generally ascribed to the fact that lie was dismissed for incompe- tency by the Democratic clerk of tlie 46th Congress, and to tlie further fact that my cousin, Mr. Eugene Speer, was appointed to the vacant position, and held it while the Democrats lichl the house. I have been informed also that Mr. Lamar announced his pur pose with Mr. Hanson’s paper “to drive me from public life.” To ac complish this ambition, he charges me and the men wiio have voted for me with blood-guiltiness. Mr. Lamar should reflect that in this statement he is doing a cruel injustice to a com munity who are not in “public life,” and at whom he strikes with a view to wound and cripple me. He states that Mr. Rountree was killed by a couple of negro politicians. He was perhaps justifiable in this, as an Ath ens paper, the Banner-Watchman, made the same statement, or rather stated that they were great “Inde- pennent politicians.” This is untrue. Ihe boy who did the killing was only nineteen years of age, and had never voted. His coadjutor came into the county and the district since the last election. How indefensible, then, is it to ascribe this crime to indepen- dentism iu-the ninth district? With the same propriety the rather frequent homicides in Macon for several years past may he charged to the organized politics of that district, and if Mr. La mar can find in his spleen to me and niy family the justification of his slan ders, wlmt excuse lias he to assail the high-minded aud orderly people whom I represent? My“eareer,” in the opinion o( Mr. Lamar, “is anything hut admirable.” I confess thut I often think, in look ing backwards, that I might have done better, and I do not boast of my ca reer. Such as it is, however, it is in finitely better aud higher than that of Mr. Albert It. Lamar. I have never been discharged by my own partv from public office for incompetency, nor have I used the powers entrusted to ine to glut a detestable malice to ward a man who had never injured me. The brilliant correspondent, Mr. George Alfred Tow'nsend, declares that Mr. Lamar said in a recent inter view, that he, with deliberate purpose, mixed the liquors which palsiea the brain and tongue of Herscliel V. John son, when in the convention he was pleading for the union against seces sion, and thus the powerful advocate of peace and union was stricken down at the crisis of our country’s fate by tlie man who now traduces me and the people among whom I live. Thank God iny career does not seem admira ble to Mr. A. R. Lamar. Let him not charge me with blood-guiltiness wheu I am innocent, while the furtive hand with which he held the stupefying cup to the lips of Herschei V. John son is stained with the torrents of blood in that terrible war which tlie deceased was seeking to avert. “Give rein,” says Mr. Lamar, “to the unbridled ambition and passions of Mr. Speer and his followers, and tlie classic wall of the University, within which now lies the bloody corpse of the first of its children mur dered by negro politicians, will lie spattered with tlm blood of others in an effort to save them from the hands of a mob of Africans, raised to mur derers bjr the eloquence of Mr. Speer, in tlie recital of his and their wroupj.” This is indeed “fine writing.” It is magnificent. I am inclined to think tiiat before peniifrig this final and su- preme paragraph * of his defamatory article, Mr. Lamar must have borrow ed information from some source— from what source those who know him can judge. I quote it to show the vindictive recklessness of the man. No one can be impressed upon by it. I am a graduate of the University of Georgia, and I love my alma mater. I am one of the trustees. My father, beloved and respected bv all who know him, an honored minister of Christ, is one of its professors. The dead young man was my club-mate, bound to me by sacred ties- But a few days before his lumentable death the students of the Univessity, I am informed by the papers, had selected me to preside at their champion de bate at commencement. Can it be true that any man in a lucid interval, witli the facts before him, can believe me capable or the at rocious crimes im- F uted to me by this malignant enemy? love my state and my home, and I am true to my lineage, my kindred, myfr-ends, and he who asserts other wise shall, if It be tlie last, act of my life, shall.nAve the falsehood flattened in his teeth- Emory Speer.

It was brought to us at the time that our official head was the price of his vote to the Democratic organization iu the House. Our posi- came from the hands of our friend Mr. Hartridgej. Upon application to his successor, Hon. John Nichoils, he frankly informed us that but one posi tion could be.held by his district, and for sufficient reasous he had recom mended the retention of another per- son. This was satisfactory to us. VVe probed ao farther. What has reached us since is not pertinent to this issue. But granting that the charge in all of its force be true, that one who had done during fouryears, the bulk of the clerical work of tho Confederate Con gress, was incompetent for further du- ty, this was a misfortune, not a fault, there is an immeasureable gulf be tween incompentency and lnfamyi The overweening egotism of Mr. •speer bunds him to the fact that we stand on opposite shores of the gulf. VYe cannot recall the use at auy time of the expression, that we intended to use Mr. Hanson’s paper to drive Mr. Speer from public life.: Repudiating any such narrow scope of journalistic labor and reuponsibiity the fact stands that Mr. Hanson hus no paper^This gentleman is associated with us, in the conduct of the Telegraph and Messen ger, and Mr. Speer has in his. posses sion the highest evedeuoe of accord between manager and editors in rela tion to himself. But iu view of recent eventsand the present condition of aflairs in Geor gia, we can not imagine-how a journ- al may lie more judiousiy used, and a life more usefully aud honorably spent than in an effort to put Mr. Speer in close communion alone, witli that dangerous and degraded elemeut up on which he mainly relies for political preferment. W e have felt it a duty, warranted by all of the circumstances aud sur roundings, to charge upon Mr. Speer, the mam responsibility for the late murder of a student at the State Uni versity. We regreted then, and still regret, that in our opinion this re sponsibility was divided. We desire to re-iterate witli all of the force that simple English is capa ble of carrying to the intelligent mind that our opinion is unaltered and tlie conclusion of our judgment in giviug it siiupe aud expression. * Our position lias been unequivocally endorsed by the leading journal of tlie city of Ath- en», the home of Mr. Emory Speer, aud by other jouruajs of the State.

Mr. 8peer and the reading public are familiar with the reasons given for our opinion, and necessity does hot exist for their recapitulations. It has pleased Mr. Speer to draw a parallel between, his own. and our re- cord, to his great satisfaction. He cannot possibly be better satisfied on this score than We are. No matter what may have been our errors, and misfortunes, we have always been true to our blood and our .people, r We have enjoyed uo profit, reaped no . honors or advancement at the cost of we was our self-respect or at tlie expense of tlie gootl and true people of Georgia. VVe have inflamed with wild har angue uo brutal and drunken mets of negroes on the streets of the most cul tured city of the State. We have never regaled a gang , of low aud ig norant white men wjth brochures of tilth, obscenity and blackguardism, that would have eaused a panic in a brothel and brought the blush of shame to the habitues of a rat-pit. We have never used a negro for the promotion of our ambition, and had him publicly denounce us for tergi versation, and threaten to cudgel us for personal deception and treachery. v\ e have not professed loyalty to the principles of one party and taken cov er in the camp of another. We can look all Georgians squarely in the face, our wife and children, and say to them that our record, whatever it may be, at least enjoys one inestimable honor—that it has never been poiuted ‘>y the endorsement or approval* of Mr. Emory Speer, or any such os Tie. W ondenng from the real issue, Mr. •Speer has referred to matters not rele vant to this discussion. We do not propose to follow him In that direc tion. He has invited, even provoked us to step over the barriers of public discussion and to drag forth the inci dents of private life. As a journalist, it is part of our call ing to be fully acquainted with the careers of the men with whom we have to deal. There is at our elbow a mass whose airing would not tebd to elevate Mr. Speer in. popular esteem and admiration. Present necessity does not require its use. Our pen is stayed by the memory of dead and living people who have not participated ill his honors, and who are not responsible for the more than dubious methods by which lie has gained them. Nor do we in tend that Mr. Speer shall divide among his family and friends what we mean for him, and him alone. We have no cause of complaint of them. All so far os we know are do ing honorable service in their respec- tive callings. Some, we know, are upholding the principles by which ail that is honorable and decent in Geor gia can be transmitted to our children and which principles Mr. Speer and the motley rapseallions with whom he is associated and endeavoring to over throw. We have had occasion before to deal with fellows as windy and as vaporing as he. He can say nothing, can do nothing that may add to the unutterable contempt which we enter tain and enjoy for him.
