There is a town in Georgia named Ben Hilt, in honor of the great states man. Next week work will begin on the enlargement of the Banner-Watchman office. The dam of Mr. O. H. Arnold's mill, in Oglethorpe county, washed away Sunday. On three acres of land in Jackson county over 500 trees were blown dow n Sunday. Unless Athens builds the Jug Tav ern railroad lumber will soon be scarce and high. An Indian skeleton was found this week in excavating for the Georgia extension. The railroad cars ran into Pickens county last week for tlie first time in its history. You ean hardly move in good socie ty now unless you wear a pair of col ored glasses. A gentleman writes from tlie moun tains, “yon can bet on 3,000 majority for Caniller.” The death of Col. Wadley has made no change in the management of the Georgia railroad. Read Col. Candler’s Lawronoevillo speech in another column. It is a ringing document. Not a single death or serious acci dent has thus far resulted from blast ing at the extension. We learn that there is not a white Speer supporter inside the corporate limits of Danielsville. counts. ^ci'DBKR’s Stock.—Our genial ”young friend Charlie Scudder has just received the loveliest stock of plated and silverware ever seen in Athens, embracing all the novelties of the sea son. It is really a treat to look over bis atock, now being opened. He has also on hand a superb stock of watnhea, jewelry and all manner of goods in his line. Give him a call if you want bargians. Mr. Scudder is a reliable, honorable young man, whose word can be implicitly relied upon. SmWS TELT WHICH •I WIND_BL0WS. For tie Bamiur- Il’alf Aoms, , Gainksvitt.e, Skit. 13,1881. I am not accustomed to writing for newspapers, but 1 will attempt togive you a few facts about the mountain counties. Inthelastcampaign, when ever any one from the mquntalns made his appearance upon our streets tlie town politicians would crowd around to hear “the news,” and in al most every instance it was favorable to Speer, lime stamps everything with a change, and oh! what a change. Now the mountain counties, with the single exception of Fanniif are almost solid for Candler, at least he will have a majority in them. Fan nin has about as many white repub licans as Morgan has colored republi cans, and of course Speer will get their votes. I can’t see why the white re publicans support him so, for be gives the offices in the ninth district to ne groes and independents; and the ne groes are not always in sympathy with the masses of the colored voters. Speer did stand np for Atkins when every other Georgia member was ngainst him, and this alone should cause dispassionate, reasonable, jus tice-loving men, to cast a solid vote against him. Why is it that more is not said about the Atkins matter? The people should know how “Our Emory” worked for his (Atkins) confirmation, when eveL the liberal northern demo crats would not come to his assist ance ; and the most respectable repub licans could not be induced to support Atkins; but, oh! how “our Emory” displayed his experience, and soplio- moric eloquence in endeavoring to se cure the confirmation of a radical not competent to fill the office, and wore distasteful to the respectability of his own party. When Emory spreads on wonted smiles, and plasters the sweet, confident look on his countenance iu referring to “his record,” he forgets to throw iu, even by parenthesis, any thing about how zealously he labored for his friend Atkins. Emory will not have much to say about his record •when be makes the second round. Paste the above in your hat, and see if I am not a prophet. I met two staunch men from Banks county to-day, and they said up to two weeks ago the county was about eveu, but the change was miraculous, and that nearly everybody was for Allen Candler, and if there was nothk ing to cause a change Banks would give Candler four to five hundred hum jority. The news is glorious from Jackson, Gwinnett, Forsyth, Habersham and Franklin. I-awshe says Candler lias not half the sense that Bell or Billups has. That may be true, but Candler is go-, ing to win the race by a handsome ma jority: for the people have seen the error of their way, and are coining back to the told, and will support the man who “is of tlie people and for the people.” No one ean doubt fora mo ment that Col. Candler is far superior to lion (?) Emory Speer as a states man, and that his democracy and pri nciples are pvrer. Below I give an impartial uud liberal statement of the vote of the respective counties. - a CANDLER’S MAJORITY. Hanks »ne«.

Farmers should not feed sour corn to horses or mules, as it is sure death. It isfit only for hogs. A cotton picker has been invented whioh works on the exhausted re ceiver suction principle. Farmers are gathering their corn damaged by the overflow, and sell it ai 40to 50 cents per bushel. Mr. Hudson is pulling the fodder from his corn that was.uuder water, and thinks he can save most of it. nber of carp ponds were bro ken in this section last Sunday, and our 8treams are now stocked with this popular fish. The squirrels are said to be destroy- mg a good deal of corn in some parts of our county. They are quite plenti ful this season. , J Since tlie cotton picking season we have noticed that the number of pu- K ils at the different colored schools ave greatly diminished. Farmers have at last come to the conclusion that cotton is not so badly damaged as they first thought by the storm. It is opening very fast. Ab. Arnold, of Oglethorpe, loses 500 bushels corn by the storm. He tested a.pile tUat had been overflowed by wa ter, andloundlt took Just two days to sour and spoil. GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE.

THE STEAM ENGINE DOOMED. Vennor’s Weather,—The follow ing is Professor Vennor’s weather pre dictions for the month of September i From Jth to 14th, ooolerand pleasaut- er weather, days varying from warm ‘ ultijt, n.niQtlglUa ynnnral6r.,«»oi PnU Xnit tlnzette. Whatever else may survive in the future, Dr. Siemens is certain that the steam engine is doomed. Its fate is first to be confined to the driving of large dynamo machines, which will distribute force at present supplied by a myriad of small and wasteful steam engines, and then to bo superseded al together by the gas engine. Gas and electricity maybe mutually hostile, but they are to unite their foroes jn or der to extirpate the steam engine. The unpardonable sin of the steam engine is that of waste. Even the best of them consume two poundB of coal per horse-power per hour; whereas, says Dr. Siemens, when the gas-pro ducer has taken tne place of the com plex and dangerous steam boiler, it will not take one pound of coal to de velop one horse-power for one hour. But before gas banishes Steam it will supersede coal ap the agent for the de velopment of steam.' A pound of gas gives forth exactly twice the heat of a pound of coal, and even this may be improved upon. To burn raw coal is to squander our inheritance. Dr) Siemens gave some startling figures to prove that the by-produets of the coal annually used in gas making are worth three millions sterling more than the eoal used in producing them, without allowing anything for the value of the gas. Besides the products already utilized 120,000 tons of sulphur are now wasted every year, which may yet be converted into a source of income. By abolishing the use of raw coal, Dr. Siemens maintains that science, as with some! magician’s wand, will “banish the black pall of smoke which hangs over our great cities; and restore to them pure air. bright sun-shine, and blue skies.” Nor shall we even have to suflfer as compensation from the multiplication of enormous gas ometers. The coal will be converted into gas at tlie bottom of the mine—a prospect not altogether to be contem- 8 luted without alanu by the workers in ery seams—and the gas carried by pipes wherever It Is wanted: Electric- fly will also be made largely service able for the distribution of power. Even after allowing fifty per cent, for loss In transmission, the gain Is still enormous. The electric light will chiefly be confined to lighting public places. The gas light will hold its own as “the poor man's frleud,” and gas heating will beconte universal. Thus, iu the near future Dr. Siemens unfolds before- our eyes a world in wbieb there will bo no smoke and no Steam, and where coal will only be visible In the immediate vicinity of thle pit." Electricity will light onr streets gas will cook our dinners, and driving power will be laid on by wire anted- Ttoero will be ivers, for every waste • 1 ” PEftSaWAT BBWTlgH.

As Mrs. Emerald Verdigris will be frequently quoted as the representa tive of Peachtree upper tendom it may not be amiss that we tell who Mrs. Emerald Verdigris is. We will premise the Introduction, however, telling who Mr. Emerald Verdigris Mr. Emerald Verdigris is an At lanta capitalist. His wealth Is daz.- zling. He began life in the piny woods poor snub-nosed, freckled-faced boy. When i the war came on Re was so lucky aa to gebdetailed as an under strapper for. a post quarter-master. He was shrewd enough to make the most of his opportunities and hecamo out of the war well heeled with loot. With a keen money instinct he saw that the piny woods was no longer a field for his genius so he gathered up his spoils and came hack to the city bringing with him his family’ consist ing of Mrs. Emerald Verdigris and his two children, Miss Samantha Jane and Dulcarilda P. Verdigris. The plunder he had saved gave him a handsome start and with the wonder ful opportunities presented by our city he walked right along into wealth without measure—builta forty thousand dollar mansion on Peach tree and is to-aay a magnificent ex ample of the strange caprice of for tune. Mrs. Emerald”Verdigris is his wife dutiful and very worthy„wife to besure. She . was not always an au thority in fashions as she is now. She was once simply Dolly Jones, a bux om piny woods girl, who thought noth, ing of bolding a yearling calf off by the tail while her sister Sally milked the cow, But that was forty years ago, and it is as hard now for Mrs. Emerald Verdigris to realize that she was once the simple Dolly Jones as It would have been then for simple Dol ly Jones to dream that fortune held in the future for her such a wonderful and bewildering gift of roses and pret ty things. It would be better perhaps’ for the little proprieties of upperten- dom If she could so far stoop from her dizzy pedestal as to go back, if only in dreams, to the place from whence she came. It might possibly make her a little more subdued in her pretensions to aristocratic dignity.

That these were the prin ciples. of tlia independents also; that the republicans aud independents were precisely tlio same. That tiie republi cans had laid aside their republican ism,and tiie independents had laid aside their democracy, and the two hail met and called it independentism. Organ ized democracy means something n .t good for the negro. Let’s bust up the organized democracy, and we will gain here in Walton such glorious victories as are now being gained in Southwest Geor gia. The time is not far distant when tiie republican party would march on to victory in all this country. Told the'" to go home and work forthe Independent candidates, and pay no attention to the organized democrats. Put men in office who will give you office; vote for tlie Independents, and be sure you get hold of tiie right ticket. The chairman of the convention then made a few remarks.

It seems the children had been to a funeral shortly before, and while playing at home the other day the Idea of burial came into their heads. A large hole was dug and one of their number, a young child hardly more than a baby, was put in and covered up entirely. The other children played around awhile longer, but soon forgot their companion buried alive, and wandered off. At night, when inquiry was made after the miss ing child, the horrible story was told. The affrighted parents hastened to the spot pointed out and dug np the child, but, of course, too late.—Palatka (Flat Herald. -t > An Editor’* Knife. Here we have aknife.
