WEEKLY BANNER-WATCHMAN TUESDAY, MARCH 18S6 BANNER-WATCHMAN OFFIOIAL'OEOAN OP City of Athens and Clarke, Oconee ft Banks. 4NHUAL SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Daily, Sunday, SI;,.... Weekly, SI T. L. GANTT. 1IOX. \V. H. MATTOX, OF ELBERT. The coiuluct of Col. Mattox, op posing candidate tor congress in this district to Mr. Reese, in declin ing, during the absence ot that gen tleman in Washington, to take ad vantage of the same and by attend ing the spring courts to build up his political strength, must secure for U nt O' ■ i"-peel an.! admire of the p e. It .s alm-v -r preccdci t. ii act ol gem r fairness, 'nieiy. if ever, v. i' i is . i. political lile. When Mr. Kie-i wa« at home Col. Mattax met him at every court, and used all nonoiable means to advance his claims; but as soon as his opponent returns to congress, in the discharge of his duty. Col. Mattox retires to his farm in Elbert, and declines to take advantage of the open field left him. This gentleman is well aware of the tact that his neglect to atter.il the courts now in session in the dis trict loses him a golden opportuni ty, hut his sense of fairness and justice is so acute, that he would scorn to utilize this advantage over an opponent. The people have not even heard the name of Mattox mentioned since Mr. Reese re turned to Washington, for he has heen hard at work on his farm, and retired from the race until his op ponent can meet him on equal grounds. While this may seem sin prising to many, those who know Col. Mattox intimately will Tell you it is characteristic of the man. If by taking an undue advantage of Mr. Ree-c this gentleman knew that he could secure a seat in congress he would scorn to do so. The edi tor of this paper has known Wil liam 11. Mattox since our boyhood, and his whole life has been in keep ing with his generous conduct to ward Mr. Reese. While Col. Mat tox is as brave a man as ever lived— for not a more gallant soldier fol lowed the banner of the Lost Cause —and tears not to meet any man face to face, on the rostrum or else where, be was never known to of fend a man behind his back, ortakc an undue advantage of an enemy. Wat. H. Mattox, while a practical fai mer, who has devoted all of his life to the calling, at the same time is a man of temarkahle intellect, and in debate or argument can hold his own with the most noted orators and statesmen ot the day. There is one trait that we particularly ad mire in C i. Mattox—his feaih - candor ti can alwa.- ;f him his n on any i asking, amt that in lango..,,.. as emphatic as it is convinc ing. He is a cautious and conservative man, who alwav weighs every question, and when hi' mind is once formed, he is gen erally right. No man in Geor gia has clone more for the demo cratic party than Col. Mattox, and to him, in a great measure, is due the tact that Elbert county never accepted the yoke of radicalism. Whenever called upon by his sta'e, his people or his party, he instantly responded, and old Georgia never had a truer, a purer or more valliant son. You may take Col. Mattox’s whole life, both private and public, and you will find it without blot or blemish. His present course, in de clining to take the field against Mr. Reese during his absence, is in full keeping with the man. As to his abil ity, the coming summer, when his opponent returns home, Col. Mat tox will doubtless challenge Mr. Reese to joint discussion, when the people will find that it Elbert's can didate is an humble tiller of the soil, and holds the life of a farmer as the highest and noblest calling on earth —having declined flattering offers to quit it—that at the same lime he is the peer of any man in Georgia, it matters not what he his profes sion or advantages, when it comes to a piactical, sensible discussion of all the living issues ol the day. Col. Mattox is a man who sprung from the people, he owes his allegiance to the peo pie, and to them will he look for recognition. He is a man of fine education—having graduated at the State University—and his mind has been kept well stored ever since. As to Col. Matto.'s chances for the no mination,we cannot say. The fact of his being a farmer will be used against him with effect, for the public has gotten to believe that no man, unless he be a lawyer or professional and lives in an incor porated town, can properly repr sent them But w he 1 F:*u:v Mattox is 'lend upon t :•» ■' , and the charade? of that gei ; in is carefully weighed, we think n.at this drawback will, in measure, be overlooked. We do not wish this editorial to be construed into any committal on the part of the Ban ner-Watchman in the pending con gressional campaign in this district, for we do not know that it would be right, where a 1 the candidates are democrats, for our paper to take sides in advance of the action of the convention, although, of course, the editor reserves the right to in dividually espouse the cause of the candidate he sees fit. Our only reason for penning this article to call the attention of the people of Ais district to an unparalleled dis play of fairness and generosity, and to do justice to a personal friend and a gentleman whom we hold in very high esteem. ices this fact, and when some little stripling chances to get control of a paper, the first thing he does is to grind out a column of advice to the tillers of the soil. Now, we don't propose to undertake any such task, but we do want to give our farmer friends a good, plain chat on the over-production of cotton, and prove to them that unless they re duce the yield ol the fleecy staple fully 25 per cent., that the next crop will no» bring more than 7^ cents, and you know that it costs more than this for the South to taise cot ton. As is a well know.n fact, there is a band of speculators in New York city who not only control the cotton crop after it is made, but ac- 1 ■! ■'!.• fixes the price twelve months ■ - dvance, and that, too, before a 1 ow is run or a seed put in the .round. They are complete mas ters of the situation, and have it in their power to shape the cotton narket as suits their onn ends. These speculators have already gone to work on the next cotton crop, and *et the following figures, which are as unalterable as the laws of the the Medes and the Persians. The cotton futures for the months of October, November and December, 1SS6. and January, 18S7, are quoted in New York at from 89010875, according to months. This means no? exceeding Sj cents for middling cotton in New York, or »Jc. at the principal cotton ship ping ports of the South, including such shipping ports as New Or leans. Charleston, Savannah, Mo bile, Galveston and Memphis. Mid dling cotton at these cities selling for bj cents means not more than 7} to the planter, who must pay- freight, insurance and the regular commission charges, which gener ally average from ^ to one cent per .pound. Now, the planter may- squirm under this as much as he chooses, but the prices fixed in the sale of futures must be met, for at these figures have the buyers in New York arranged their trades, and the producer will L-e forced to come to their terms. There is no need talking about reducing the area planted in cotton, for there is no concert of action among plant ers. So the question narrows it self down to this: Can the far mers in this section ot Georgia afford to produce their next crop of cotton at 7J cents? If there is any money in that price, we advise you to plant a full crop. If it costs you more than 7J cents, it will be finan cial suicide on the part of farmers to depend on their cotton crop, for 7J cents per pound is the last mill that they will receive for it. The fiat has gone forth from the regulators of prices in New York, and these men have me means and the power to force -bin own terms. Farmers who •\e made the test tell us that they can't raise cotton tor less than nine i cents per pound, with even a shade of profit. If this be true, a planter bad better sit the whole year with lolded arms than to grow cotton at a loss of #6 per bale. The truth is, the day will soon be oil us when the South must look to some other crop than cotton for her ready money. VVe can’t compete with the cheap labor ot India, and Eastern cotton is making (earful inroads into pri ces. If such a thing were possible, —by concert of action among farm ers—that the production of cotton in the Southern States could be re duced to 4,000,000 bales, then a re munerative price could be had; but this, we fear, will never be done. The only thing left for our farmers to do is to watch the sale of futures in New York for a year ahead, and when they are fixed at a price that leaves the planter no profit, to sow his cotton fields in grain and other crops. By this means, if other sec- Utah wants to be a state. They continue to find petroleum and natural gas in Tennessee, but not in paying quantities.

As tho stars of night began to pole before tbo advance of dawn he felt like one reprieved. While be watched, tho enemy had. for once, seemed to sleep. Daylight would bring a continua tion of the march, an.i every hour would witness a skirmish, but even a battle does not unnerve a man like standing videtta on a lone and dangerous post What! Has he become blind? Daylight now covers the desert, and the vidette is looking toward the camp of the night There is no camp. At midnight he left 800 of his comrades. This morning thnre is no sign of Ufe. He looks to the right bat there is no vidette. He looks to tho left—no liv ing thing meets his eyes. He stands and peers and stares and blinks. Is he awake! If so, Ls be blind! Has the night played some strange trick on him in this laud of strange things and strange fancies? He moves toward the spot where the night halt was made, but be advances slowly and cautioudy, and he hesitates now and then as if to reason with himself. Ah! He is neither blind or daft. Here is a cap— there is a bolt—here a rope—there a sack, to prove that the camp had been here. H re are tho tracks of men and camels, there a broad trail leading away to the south. In the stillness of night a messenger had come to the little band, ordering an instant change of march. Quietly and without alarm the men had been turned out, the beasts made ready, and the videttes called in. All but one! In the hurry and the dark ness he had been overlooked! Leaning on his carbine and looking over the trail left to show the change of march, the soldier reasoned it all out. His com mand had been gone for hours. He was alone and on foot. Overtake them! He smiled grimly at the thought The sun and sand and thirst of Egypt were as deadly enemies as the spears and bullets of tho Arabs. He bad neither food nor water. A hundred miles of burning sands and hot winds lay between him and a blade of glass —a single drop of water. • The soldier turned to survey the desert plain. To the east; nothing but sand; to the north, nothing but sand; to the west nothing but sand; to the fcouth—ah I He Htraightenoi up, shaded his eyes with bis hand, and for a long minute continued his gore, then he let his arm fall. A score of Arsbs were riding down upon him. Without undue baste—with the dignity befitting an cli veteran—the soldier took from h\s breast and pinned to his coat a m«dal. Upon its bright side were the words: The Boer War.” He pinned on another which said: “For Services in Zululand.” There was a third—a fourth—a fifth. In his twenty years of soldier life the old man bad a thou-and times been >i target for bullets. This was his last campaign. Death was riding down up^n him. but he would die as a soldier-as a British soldier. When the savage horsemen were half a mile away they halted. The old soldier was ready and waiting. There was* no thought of taking him prisoner—no thought of sur render. There was a moment for consulta tion, and the bunch of horsemen deployed in line and advanced at a gallop. Steady, now! Crack! Crack! Crack Two horsemen tumbled from their saddles— a third reeled about in his seat like a man mortally hit. Before another shot could be fired the murderous lances drank blood and the old soldier lay dead. On the hot sands, his face upturnod to his foes, and his medals shining as never before morning sun, lay the old man, dead. And then, not by the hands of friends—not by the hands of comrades—a sixth medal was placed upon his brawny breast It was not of gold or silver, but something ot more priceless value.

Wc to-day reproduce a blood- and-thunder article from the Car- tersville Courant, (Dr. Ftlion’s pa per,) containing the most horrible stories about Col. Smith’s convict camp, in Oglethorpe county. We have no idea that there is one word of truth in the letter, and it is hut a teeblc attempt on the part of the old Doctor to attract public atten tion to himself, with an eye to the gubernatorial seat. About once a year these slanders on Col. Smith arc s'arted, hut when investigated are found to he lies made of whole cloth. As any of his neighbors will testify, this gentleman is as kind to his convicts 3s it is possible to be and their very appearance will brand as false any story ot cruel : a atment. Col. Smith is not a man • : under such slanders as that .■fished by the Courant, and we predict that the fur will fly from the author of the article as soon as his name is discovered.
