How Congressman 8peer “Went Book On” a Warm Friend and Supporter. Mr. Bridge Christy, of the Monitor, was in our city yesterday, and learn ing that he had been an applicant for the postmastership at Athens, an at tache of the Banner-Watchman asked him ifsuch was the case. He replied that it was, and moreover he had the positive promise of Mr. Speer that he would support his claims and do ail In bis power to secure Mr. Christy the appointment. He had every reason to believe that our congressman en tirely ignored his promise and cau- and brot ght out at tlie muzzle of a pistol, .Hot learn tvhere he spoke a single rt*:*Wrd A YANKEE SHARPER.

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 lars for being taught the trick, which proved so plaiti and simple that Henry grew dissatisfied aud wanted to get iris money back. So itcould only Ire proved that Hanisbtirn w,.s giving private les sons in his villainous art, which not be ing a crime tire prisoner was dismissed, with the admonitiou to shake the dust ol Athens from his feet before the next sun rise or he would get into trouble.

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 by the selection of this race tor similar positions throughout Georgia.

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 lis. This is a move iu the right direc tion. Nearly every farmer on the line not only promises tlie right of way, hut proposes to furnish cross-ties to carry the track through his territory. If $23,- 000 can be raised iu Athens tlie road will be built. The Darkey’s Day.—It isarnusing to sec the interest manifested by tlie negroes in tlie post-oiiice since this important place has been put in charge of their own race. Blacks who haven't received a letter or paper since emancipation flock to the office be fore the arrival of every mail and crowd tlie delivery window so that it is often an hour or more before the poor, down trodden whites can get a showing. We heard of one gentleman being shoved awayto give place to a negro who couldut tell B from hull's-foot. Agent’s mis-management. This should be looked into by tlie proper parties aud remedied. We don’t feel like sitting quietly down and see tlie North-Eastern lose patrouage by tlie action of her foreign office-holders. Dklivkly Clerk.—How do you like the new delivery clerk at the post-office? We trust Mr. Speer is now satisfied since he has at last used his power as representative so suc cessfully to humiliate the people of his own city. But a time is coming when the young vaulter will be taught that he cannot willfully cast such in. suits in the face of the white race of the 9th District without meeting with its just reward. Water Works.—We are anxious ly awaiting the April meeting of the city fathers to see what will he the outcome ofthe water works problem. A large majority of our people ore de- sirotls of having waterworks and they expect the authorities to heed their wishes in this respect.

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.

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 met among our old friends/ A DAIRY FARM. A Visit to tas Rural Homs of Mr. J. H.

Recently, iu company with several friends; we paid a long-promised visit to Mr. Dock Dorsey, anil although we found onr.gcnial friend on crutches, he man aged to hop around and show us over Ids premises. A few years ago tills gentle man purchased a part of ihe old Carr place, near tlie Georgia depot, for the purpose of establishing a dairy farm—an institution then unknown 'to Athens.

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.

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 mq*saftb tkiyiaK JHmfeas *)tthe weapons ftf ouTiwirefare arci nut car nal butYnighty through God to the. putting down of strongholds.” I sug gest to the brethren throughout the country that we earnestly engage in prayer tor Thcon, that the Lord would forgive him all his'sins- and- so hum ble him that he may yet deem it a high privilege to worship.
