A friend writes from Athens to the

the business aua annoyances incident
to a newspaper distracts the attention
of an editor from his legitimate task,
and it is lrest that he be entirely dis
connected with that department. Bo
we have simply made arrangements
by wiiich we are entirely relieved from
any part in the business management,
and will devote our entire time to edi
torial duties. We have no idea of re
tiring from this paper. We have cast
our lot in Athens, and expect to here
remain. The business has farcxceed-

Saturday night Mr. Oc llarbin, at
Lumpkin’s saloon, sent out fora police
man toarresta fellow..who ’was engi
neering a gambling scheme. Mr. Culp 11
ouce responded, but before lie could
teach the room the bird “got" wind” of
his approach aud escaped through a
back window. Culp ran around to the
rear of the b'dldiug, but failed to find
hit man. At this fnstant Mr. Lanipfcm
told him to search under Mendel Morris’
house, as he was seen to crawl under
there. The swindler wa« there found,
covered with dust and very much
was carried to tlie calaboose, where lie
gave his name uk Henry Kamsbo-n, anil
hailed from New York. The implement*
of his craft, consisting of three little cups
aud three small bits of cork, were found
In ids pocket. It seems that it was his
(dan to arrange them, in full view of his
victim, and then let him bet n hether the
corks are under tliecnps or.not. It is an
old game at the North, hut proved some
thing new with c rtain greenhorns of
Athens, who swallowed hook, bait- and
all. But when the swindler was bagged
nooue could be found to give testimony
against him, although we heard of one
negro \\Tio io^t $13nt the mill. It seems
tiiat his victims were under tlie impres
sion that ff they “blowcd” it would lay
them liable to prosecution for gambling.
Henry Thomas, col., had paid five dol

fellow left, doubtless carrying away a
nice pile of money won from timid and
coufiding victims.

citizens will extend them a hearty

sembling in ap|rearance ut ash-cat. He 'hand gave his earnest support to a col
ored candidate. No appointment
would have given the people of Ath
ens more general satisfaction than
that of Mr. Christy. He is known to
Ml as a worthy geutlemau, who would
have tilled the office acceptably. And
what is more, this gentleman has
made great sacrifices for Mr. Speer, as
every inan in Athens well knows. By
espousing the cause of Mr. Speer the
Southern AVatchman, when under
Bridge Christy, undoubtedly secured
tlie election of its candidate, but at the
same time injured its own prosperity.
And for the very person who had ac
complished all this to be cost aside for
a colored man whose only claim to of.
flee lies in tlie fuct tlmt he can con
trol a few more votes than Mr. C., is u
species of political ingratitude tiiat
will.eclipse anything yet known. But
perhaps Mr. Speer will say that there
was no chance for a democrat. Why
thendidho not so inform Bridge Chris-
ty,-ond not hold out the hope thut he
would get the office? And again, why
did he not at least make an ellort in
Ills behalf? And why did lie so ur-
dently endorse the claim of a colored
man, and entirely ignore tlie race
whose patronage sustains this office?
There is no disguising one faet—Mr.’
Emory Speer could have secured tlie
appointment of a white postmaster at
Athens had he seen fit, us is evidenced

positions throughout Georgia. It is

The Georgia Road.—This road
seems to he getting more than their
share of the Athens freight. This is
not owing to any local management,
history, it was numbered by Corporal
Joint Grier, so well known in this sec
tion, and lias always belonged to his fam
ily. One of our oldest citizens says lto
could remember tlie number when a
hoy. Corporal Grier was lrorn in tlie
year 1790, ami hence the choice of that
number. ’
Surveying the Jvu Tavern Railroad.
—A party of surveyors left tlie city yes
terday, to run and locate the line front
Athens to that building young metropo

not only promises tlie right of way, hut
proposes to furnish cross-ties to carry
the track through his territory. If $23,-

will be built.
The Darkey’s Day.—It isarnusing to
sec the interest manifested by tlie

A Conditional Deed.—It seems
that the deeds of property where the
Georgia Railroad depot now stands
and deeded to them by Mr. Wm. Carr
is a conditional one. It specifies that
us long the property is used ns a depot
it shall remain tlie property of the
Georgia Railroad, hut in the event
that the said Georgia Railroad shall
see fit to have their depot in another
place, then the aforesaid property, to
gether with all the improvements

ried his county for that gentleman;
but he is thoroughly disgusted with
the tendencies of the Independent par-,

are explalned to bis satisfaction, he
intends to wash his face,put on a clean

It seems that so long as Mr. Christy
was in a position to render our con
gressman assistance he was all O. K.;

Place not your trust in politicians—
more especially in independents.
r> MODEST COURAGE.
Major ALHEitT R. Lamar, editor of
the Macon Telegraph and Messenger,
and who was lately the recipient of
such a bitter aud abusive attack from
Mr. Emory Speer, bus proved him
self possessed of a moral courage
known to few men. It will be remem
bered that tlie Congressman from tlie
9th, in ltis reply to Major Lamar’s
editorial, referred to the fact of tiiat
gentleman submitting to having his
face slapped by Mr. Russell in Sa-
annali, and left tlie impression
upon the public mind that Major
Lamar acted the part of n craven. In
his reply that gentleman made no
reference to this, which to those not
acquainted with tho Major’s known
courage looked like substantiating
the insinuation. We this week met
Judge E. H. Pottle, of the Northern
circuit, who was ill .Savannah ut tlie
time ofthe difficulty referred to, and lie
tells us that the Russell family took
exceptions to a court speech made by
Major Lamar, and upon the conclu
sion of his argument, and when he
was entirely unpropared for a difficul
ty, lie was attacked by a number of
men, overpowered ond the fraeus
culminated as mentioned by Mr.
Speer. But Major Lamar instantly
resented this assault and valliantly
vindicated his courage and ability to
avenge an insult. Major Lamar
springs from a family renowned for
their valor, as well as high-toned,
gentlemanly principles, and the in
sinuation tiiat lie is a ooward is pre
posterous to those who know him.
But what we' want to impress upon the
public mind is the high order of mor
al courage manifested by this gentle
man. Sooner than place himself in
the lightof a braggart, lie submits to the
slur of cowardice, leaving the question
to those who know him liest. Major
Lamar’s calm hut scathing reply to
Congressman Speer’s wild and un-
sustained ravings and abuse will do a
great deal to eradicate the pernicious
system of personal vituperation from
future political campaigns in Georgia.
Tho day is past when solid facts can
be answered by .a flow of billinsgate
that would reflect discredit upon a
cock-pit. Mr. SPEER had ns well
make up his mind to stand fulrly at
the bar of public indignation next fall
and answer the arraignment made,
He cannot hope to escape by ltis plau
sible flow of eloquence or indeceut
manifestations of vindictive anger,
Cotton need are fast coming to the
front as the sumtnun bonutn of the
country. Every, week brings to light
a new use and value. Tito oil, hulls,
meal, and indeed every particle is
utilized; and now conies the informa
tion from a Mississippi planter that
the seed with the hulls on are excel
lent food for mules. He says he sprin
kies them with salt and puts a basket
ful into the trough every night and
the stock soon take to it.

tlTRANQE Conduct.—The other
nigpt, about 12 o’clock, a negro rapped
at the residence of a book-keeper ip
Athens, pnd {nfaqppd bifii his
employer wqniqd to sec him fit once
at the store, The gentleman told
the messenger that he was stek and
could not go. Tho next morning, up
on going to the store, he found that no
suoh message had been sent him. As
’’this gentleman, always carries the
safe key with him robbery is supposed
to have been the purpose of the negro.
On Monday evening last the writer,
together with Mr. W. D. O’Farrell,
Hon. H. H. Carlton and E. T. Brown,
Esq., boarded a hack, destined for
Lexington. The former gentleman
held the reins over'a pair ofgood
roadsters, and,we made fine time, in
terspersed with a seini-occaslonal
bump as the vehicle passed Intonome
dried-up mud-bole of last winter and
the springs came together with a sud
denness that would' drive a passen
ger’s heart eleir through the top of
bis head. We found tire roads hard,
and dry, ana in t^ry fair order. The
first point Qf interest we reached was
the Pauper Farm, of Clarke county.
We never saw a place in better order.
The fields are worked like a garden,
and the growing crops are simply
magnificent. Mr. Tuck, the superin-
tendenqbas a lovely home oivthe
place, and one one of the largest and
finest gardens hi tlti’s section. The
houses ofthe paupers are clean and
cosy and In perfect repair. Our
county has adopted the wise plan of
making lip convicts support tlie poor
—the labor on this farm beingdoueby
tlie criminals sentenced from our city
Court. The place has proved more
than self-supporting, and will hear-
after bring a nice little revenue into
tlie public till.
Along the road farmers are well lip
with their work, and u finer prospect
we never saw fur crops. All the large
lowgroundf that have been permitted,
to grow up in hushes and briars since
emancipation are now cleared up and
ditched oil, and are planted iu corn.
WeVeversuw so much wheat’ and
oats sown, and the prospect is splen
did. • As fur as Ihe eye can reach on
every trend verdaut fields greet the
view. We heard no complaint of rust
or any other disease, and experienced
planters Bay the dry, cool May will
stave off these troubles. Hon. James
M. Smith has over one thousand acres
sown in wheat, and lie says ltis crop
is just as line as tire land can grow—
tiiat lie never saw such a happy out
look for tlie farmers. It was only oc
casionally you saw a field planted in
cotton—tho best Inn i being reserved
for corn, of Which enough will be
raised tills year—If we have good sea
sons—to abundantly do the country.
Tiiat the planters have at last awoke
to a realization of the truth tiiat
their prosperity lies in raising sup
plies at home, any one has buttotrav-
el by the gravel read through the
country to see.
The road from Athens to Lexing
ton runs through a country rieli in
historic reminiscenses. On a little
fiat by the first creek this Side of tlie
Billups place—now owned by R. K.
Reaves—were a large number of ne
groes murdered by the Jndiaus, their
owner having seized upon a fertile
track of laud within the territory al
lotted to the Red Man. It seems that
a few days previous to thjs iflassaere
an Indian had been murdered by a
negro, and to avenge the deed did tills
crowd pf innocent victims suffer most
horrible- deaths. Cherokee Corner
•was once the boundary between tlie
white and Indian territory, and long
before the settlement of this country
by the latter race was it the point
where the Indians nu‘t to hold their
dances, prior to starting on the war
path. It was once the Northern boun
dary of Washington county, ami the
great council place for the white and
red men. The old oak under which
tlie treaty was signed that ceded this
section to the whites is still spun in
the midst ofim old field. Dome of the
greatest events connected with the
early settlement of this country were
consumated beneath its branches, and
it h^s ever since been allowed to
stand as the pnly living link that hinds
tlie past with the present history of
our section.
From this point to Lexington we
pass Ihrough one of the finest belts in
the South—a country settled by a peo
ple renowned for their honesty and
hospitality, and all that goes to make
good citizens. They are self-sustain
ing, and have scarcely felt the troub
les incident to other farming counties
in the South. You sep on tlie road
many beautiful and stately homes'
their surroundings betokening thrift
and enterprise.
On reaching Lexington we stopped
at the Roane House, under the man
agement of Mrs. E. G. Roane, one of
tlie nicest aud most worthy ladies we
ever knew. Well, auy oiie who has
ever feasted on Mrs. R’s viands know
how we* fared. Bill O’Farrell said she
must have thought Ed. Brown and
him were on a bridal ‘tour, and want
ed to give them A reception. They
sp»nt their timo bragging on the best
hotel in Georgia, and came home
foundered. Tliis lady kept large wai
ters , of cake, wine and fruit in the
rooms of tlie hoys, and treated them
like princes in disguise.
Very few farmers were out atCourt,
as most qf them were hard at work
preparing land and planting crops,
But our friends rallied around th^
Banner-Watchman to a unit, and we
onrolled about one hundred new sub
scribers from among the best men in
the county. Had the eounty turned
out en maste we’could just as easily
have swelled our list to four or five
hundred. We didn’t strike bqt three
men who failed to aubzerihe, and they
expressed A determination to-do so at
aii early day. There is not a more
whole-souled, clevei set of people on
the globe than in old Oglethorpe, and
they have Always proved themselves
our true friends.
The town was overrun with candl
dates. In fact, a gentleman sitting in
his room at the hotel spit out of the
window and had to humbly apologize
to three candidates that he had her
spattered. Three gentleiQVfi were on
hand who were applfcpnts for Mr. Ste-
pheqs’ spat ip Congress. They are
Raines to represent them. We heard
no other names pjroposed, and do not
suppose there will be. These gentle-
meu are thoroughly Identified with
tlie people and will reflect honor upon
their constituents. Both are now
County Commissioners, and have
done a great deal to render Oglethorpe
one of the most prosperous and sol
vent sections of Georgia. Better men
could not be found.
On Wednesday John M. Kidd, a
white man, delivered a decidedly
Communistic speech in front or the
court-house to a crowd composed
largely of negroes. We’ did not heat
him but learned that the orator agi
tated ihe question of forcible resistance
to paying rent on land~or at. least
making it-hut nominal.
Wednesday evening wo returned
home, delighted with our trip and the
kind and generous reception we hud

.^H r *V* nt to •» order of the Court ol 0rdinar.-
of Clorke county, will be sold before tlio Court
pose. Tho first tiling Mr. Dorsey did tn M
was to ereot a neat cottage mud gather
around him a few first-class Country
cows. Hit land was all unclosed, and of
course he had lojbegin on a small scale,"
anti improve by degrees. Ilia success
front t‘«e first was assured. He found
customers for ail hi? milk, at remunera
tive prices, and gradually built up a
splendid business, At flio present time
tie own? lot* acres of laud—cither cleared
or well getlu Bermuda grass fnr pastur
age—and has tlie finest lot of cows we
have seen in a longtime. His cattle are
nil kept stabled in bad weather,* and
every care given them, lie purchases
only good country cows—paying for
same from $20 to $50—anil by liberal
feeding brings them op to their'hest. He
don’t believe much in imported stock,
although lie lias a full-blooded Ayegliire
hull, hv which lie improves his ’ breed.
A few dats after a calf Is dropped Mr.
Dorsey sells It to a butcher, so as to se
cure aii tlie milk for market, except a
few from very clioii-e ones tiiat lie raises.
He has now ten young calves lliqs turn
ed out.
“How do you sol pot your cows?” we
inquired,
“Kntiye|y by their build. You must
not place ton much dependence in tlie
size of tlie hug, as tiiat Is not always a
sure index. Ifl find u cow shaped tike
wedge, sioping’forward, you may rest
assured tiiat she will fnuke a fine milker
if not spoiled. I prefer buying young
heifers, so as I can train them myself.”
“Do you’milU yourself?”
“Oh yes; I have several hands em
ployed for the purpose, but can milk
three cows to any one’s two J ever saw.
' always begin milking my cows before
the calf ig horn, ns this keeps down all
inflammation lu tlie bag.”
“Upon what do you feed this large
herd?”
'Veil, on all sorts of food, My bran
bill averages $150 a month, besides the
liay and other roughness. I Wil all thp
slops, us food goes inueh'further when
cooked and tlie eattle thrive -better, too.
Then I plant about five acres in .vegeta
bles for them, besides sowing a big patch
of rota baga turnips in theTaH, This is
tlie best cow food I know, I will plant
this yegr pearly an aero in beets, which
are good, as also a large cabbage patch.
Carrots ami my other smaller vegetables
come in well. I try to have some kind
of green food or ‘vegetables the year
round for my cattle, as it keeps them
healthy and makes the milk rielier,”

UNCLE DAVIE PATMAN.
Athens, Ga., April 24^1882 w
Editor Banner-Watchman: I find
iu your paper of April flth ’a commu
nication headed “Uucle Davy Pat
man,” and slgned'Theon, in which oc
curs a number of errors and unbecom
ing expressions concerning Uncle Da
vy and the Primitive Baptist church
in Athens all of which In niy judg
ment cast undue’ reflec tions
Elder Patman and the Primitive Bap
tist denomination. I also Notice in
your paper of April 20th another piece
headed “Uncle Davy Patman,” in
which you very handsomely clear
your skirts and tell us that the former
communication was- written by a
friend of Uncle Davy, who would not
intentionally have reflected oh the
life or good works .of this good man.
Yet it seems to me that he^ias rather
a strange way of expressing his friend
ship, though I will not here charge
him with intentionally committing
the errors of which brethren complain
for it may be that he was misinform
ed, as all who have read his letter can
very readily see that he did not, accor
ding to his own showing attend the
meetings at the Primitive Baptist
church In Athens after the first' year.
Provided he lives in the. city, and I
suppose he does, for.he tells .us that
after the first year the congregation
were exclusively country folks and
negroes. Therefore.it may bo that
this friend was imposed upon by those
from whom he obtaiued Information
and consequently 1 decline to reply to
hiS'Cammunlcatlon In detail. But as
Elder Patman is now at rest beyond
the reach of reproach, andthedenoml-
nation to which he belonged are in
safe hands, even in the hands of him
who has said “no weapon that is
formed agahist thee- shall prosper and
every tongue that shall rise against
thee in Judgmen* thou sbalt condemn,
this is the heritage of the seryanbf of
the Lord and their rightaupness is of

high privilege to worship. God even
