L. GANTT. Till-: GllKAT STRIKE AND THE " knights. The continued outrages attendam upon the "rent railroad strike in thi put a stop to such outrageous and unwarranted threats as were made by Mr. Irons. Let the Knights live up to the platform, and all will be well. There is not a line to condemn in he wording of their platlorm, but his seems to have been completely lisregarded by the striking Knights n the Southwest. CLARKE'S JURY BOX. Southwest, and the arbitrary and iliclatori.nl commands of the strikers are not at all in keeping with th« puhlich declared policy of that or dcr or the professions of Chief Pow- deny. The platlorm of the Knights ot Labor declare that they are orga- ni/ed for the purpo-e ol arbitrating disagreements between the laborers anil employees, and their mission is pe ice and harmony—not contention a id disagreement. If the princi ple. ot 'he order are strictly carried out.it would prove a protection both to f.u- lab >rer and 'he prop', etor. and w-mld foice the respei' and confidence of the public. Hu it .(cm that either the pretention of the K. of 1. are false, or that the officers have lost all control ovei their men, who seem crazed with success. When the strike was first nrdeicd in Texas we gave the Knights credit for an honest desire to cairy out their motto of "An in- j„ry to one is Ihe concern of all.’ , And even when it extended all over ihe Gould system of roads, and re- "ports came ol several outrages against the sympathizers with ihe roads and injury to the company’s propitty, we still relied on the con sei vati ve declarations ot Chief Pow- derlv and the declared mission ol tile order, to keep the trouble with m legitimate bounds, and believed that the Knights would publicly re pudiate and denounce the crimes attempted and the wilful destruction ot’ railroad property. We stated that we did not believe the Knights responsible lor such acts, hut that they were probably perpetrated by outside parties'or a few lawless characters who have joined the Older. But day alter day we see these .acts of lawlessness and intim idation increase, anjl the Knights have even gone so far as to tin eat en, if they do not carry their paint in the present railroad strike in a given tin e, that tiiev will stop every train and shut down every mill in the country. Such a threat is as outrageous as it is unjust, and the day it is attempted the doom of the Knights of Labor is sealed. It will lose the sympathy and support of the public, and no organization, it mattets not how strong it be, can survive this. The idea of trying to paralyze t he business of a great na tion, all on account of the discharge of one man, will never be toler ated, and even the threat by Mr. lions has cost the Knights thousands of sympathizers from the public. If the Knights, of Labor are not responsible for these raids upon locomotives and other private nr. petty, and the assault >n patties .,nt.,goriis:ic to them it is wigh t me that they were publicly repudiating the perpetrators and helping the legal authorities to tiling the guilty to punishment. If 'bis is not done, the order must bear the odium. We have a repub lic. and our people are determined that no one class shall have arbitra ry rule. While the K. of L. are jus tifiable in and will be sustained, in their members demanding full pay lor their labor—and we do think there is great room forreform here— at the same time there is a right and wrong way to secure that justice, and the punishment ot innocent corporations and individuals, for the transgression or imagined trans gression of another party, is cer tainly not the right way. We have always been a sympathizer with our working classes, for we have been one of them and know their trials. If the Knights of Labor will abide by their platform, and carry out to the letter the declara tions of the order the Banner Watchman and every fair-minded journal and citizen in the country, will he their friend, and they will be sustained in all just and reasonable demands; but when t’ne pacific words of their leader and the conservative language ot their platform are so grossly vio lated, and it is shown that instead of an organization to maintain their rights that the Knights of Labor are trying to rule the country and capital with'an iron rod, the order must expect to lose the confidence and sympathy of the public. In future the Knights will be judged by their acts—not their words and promises. They say a Knight of Luhor cannot strike, and yet we see them threatening to call every wotkmaii from his task, and clog the wheels of commerce and indus try throughout the country! Such an outrageous act will not be toler ated, and the sooner it is learned the better. Every honest and hu mane man -vinpathizes wilh the la borers in a' v peaceful and attempt t > -idire the just We do not know when the next revision of our jury boxes will be nade, but we trust when it is done that the commissioners will extend the circle of “upright and intelli gent” citizens. We are infotmed hat of about i,zoo white votors in Clarxe county, only some 400 are -elected to serve as jurors. It is certainly a sad reflection on the honesty and intelligence ol oui county if only one-third of the white adults come up to the requir ed standard of jurors. We do not construe the law as meaning that a nan, to become a juror, must be musually intelligent, but that he shall have ordinary ability and r .neper construction of right and wrong. We know a number of men in our county, whose names are omitted from the jury box, of mark ed intelligence, and against whose uprightness we have never heard a word uttered. On the other hand, we are informed,a negro is selected as a juror who has been guilty ol larceny. Now, if the commission ers were aware of th'« fact—which Jnubtless they weie not—their ac lion simply says that Soo white men n Clarke county are not as intel ligent or upright as a black felon. It is right and proper that the jury lists be made as large as possible, with an observance of the law, that this labor divided among all competent citizens. We do not want it understood that we think our jury commissioners intended to cast any reflection on the upright ness and intelligence of the parties whose names are omitted from the box,hut they understood the law to mean a peculiar fitness for jury duty, and that they acted conscien tiously. We would leel bad if we thought that even one-third of the white voters in Clarke county did not come up to the qualification of jurors. We do not wish to stir up any agitation on this question, but a number of our best citizens re quest us to call attention to this matter. ELECTIONEERING JUDGES. A JOURNALISTIC BIRD OF PAS- BANKS'COUNTY GRAND J1 sage; sexthkjiTs. The solid citizens of Banks county are anxious for the Signal to become their organ. We hare no fight to make against the present organ of the county; but in justice to our own section we think it nothing but right that we should receive the legal advertisements of Banks coun ty. There being no paper published in Banks, and the Signal being the nearest, and containing the general news of the county each week. We might say it has as large a circulation in the county as any paper, except the Atlanta Constitution. To the citizens of Banks we appeal to you to lend us your aid in securing the legal advertisements for the Signal and thereby making it the official organ of the county. We clip the above piteous wail lor patronage from the Harmony Grove Signal, late of Jug Tavern; and if we mistake not, its editor has been establishing “long felt wants” in a number of towns throughout Geor- -in fact, is one of these migrato- Nfi \ If reports be true, Judges Estes and Brown are now engaged in a regular circuit-swapping business, to enable them to electioneer among the people while Col. Candler is absent at his post of duty. Also, that Judge Simmons is making a mountain pilgrimage, in his frantic efforts to capture delegations to the gubernatorial convention. We have not language strong enough to condemn such conduct, and if the people do not put the brand of disapprobation or it at their party conventions, it will be a sad day for Georgia. To see the judicial er mine dragged fresh from the bench into the contaminating whirlpool of modern politics is indeed a humili ating sight, and a pittiful commen tary on the degeneracy of the age. How can a people expect impartial justice from the bench when this officer is engaged at every idle mo ment in political movements? It matters not how upright and just a Judge may be, it is natural for him to pander to influence when he con sents to enter the arena ot politics. He will naturally so shape even his judicial acts that they will redound to strengthening his support. A Judge—the arbiter of human life, liberty and property—should hold himself, while occupying that im portant and responsible position, far beyond the reach of the cor rupt influences of politics. If he wants to enter the political arena, let that Judge first resign his robes of office and he then is the ruler of his own fate, only. We will never cast our ballot for any judicial officer who has mixed up justice and poli tics, and if it was in our power we would tear the mantle from the shoulders of the last one. This practice must be discountenanced, tor it not only dishonors our courts of justice, but will eventually, if not checked, lead to the bartering of justice for political support. The New York Herald, in a short editorial in reference to the feast of Purim, pays this high compliment to the Hebrews: “The Hebrews are a centripetal race. Not tempt ed by the religious vagaries of the day, they conservatively hold to a faith which has withstood the rav ages of revolutions and the up heaval of dynasties. It bound them together thousands of years ago, and they have maintained their magnificent isolation ever since. They constitute the finest expres sion of religious loyalty the world has evei seen.” ry journalists who is here to-day and there to morrow. Like unto every other brother of the Fourth Estate, when Mr. Atkinson landed in H. .- mony Grove with pockets fi ,, .'d with type and a mouthful of it k,we extended him every courtesy , and encouragement in our power, and even made personal appeals to our business men to patronize his paper. We are repaid by theabove attempt to take away a part of our business. Now • the idea of the Signal becoming the organ of Banks or any other county is sublimely ridiculous. It is a little 7-column patent outside sheet with about 4^ columns of reading matter and every line of its home-print can be crowded into two columns of the Weekly Banner-Watchman. We have no idea that the Signal has 300 subscribers on its books that are paid up in advance. Of course, to make this paper the or gan of Banks county would t>e a gross injustice to parties who have property disposed of at legal sale, for the land would probably be slaughtered for the want of proper advertising. When these sales are published in the Banner-Watch man, they are scattered largely over 30 counties in this immediate sec tion, besides being read in nearly every state and territory in the Union and in several foreign coun tries. It matters net whether land he soid for division or under the sherifTs hammer, the parties at in terest warn it to bring as much money as possible, and this can only be done by thorough advertis ing. To insert these sales in the H. G. Signal would he like using the columns of a last year’s patent met! icine almanac, or the side of a pine tree. Besides the large Weekly Banner-Watchman, all legal adver tisements are published both in our Daily and Sunday editions without extra chaige. So every legal no tice from Banks gets the benefit of the circulation of three papers. We are very much inclined to think that “the solid citizens of Banks county” who are so anxious for the Signal to become their organ can be found within the narrow confines of the Signal office. During our agent’s recent visit to Homer he reports that all the people he met were delighted to have the B.-W. as their county organ, and the grand jury endorsed the selection by ing their presentments published therein—and they were not taken “free gratis for nothing,” either, as a certain journal once proposed to do. We are truly delighted to hear that the Signal has “no fight against the present organ of the county,” for with such an adversary, we would have nothing left but to suc cumb, and not only let that jour nalistic bird of passage seize upon the legal advertising of Banks, but of Clarke, Oconee and the city of Athens also. As to the Signal’s claim of Banks county being “our section,” we will state that it is just about as much Athens’ section av. ■ Harmony Grove’s, and we are quite sure that the Banner-Watchman has a few more claims on the good people of Banks than the Signal, for it has fought with them one of the bitterest campaigns in the po litical annals of Georgia. The fact is. the Signal editor has moved his paper around so olten that he is excusable about making a mistake as to what (town or county his sheet really belongs to. We will, in all candor, say to Editor Atkinson, that if he has squatted in Harmony Grove with hope or expectation of eking out an existence for his little paper by taking the legitimate pat ronage from the Banner-Watchman or any other neighboring journal,he had as well, like the Turk, again si lently fold his tent and depart. But we must apologize to our readers for consuming so much space in the discussiun of a trivial matter. In conclus-on we will say to the Signal waver, that Dr. Lyndon’s little worm oil primer may succeed in supplanting the Banner-Watch man with the reading public, but vrr have no fear of the journalistic bird of passage at ^present roost ing at the thriving town ot Harmo ny Grove.

It is from the pen of a man so noted for quaint and original humor that it “crops out'* in his a<l\ ertisements, and in the business letters which he writes to the wholesale firms with whom he trades. One large house in Baltimore has a business letter from Mr. Benson, put away in their great iron safe in a lit tle department of his own, where they say it shall remain as long as they are in business. We’ve been to his house, we've been to his store, and literally speaking, there is no cleverer man in the state of Georgia that we know of than J. B. Benson, and there is no man of more genuine and perennial humor, Sam Jones not excepted. [H«ald) Drs. Smith and Welchel, of Gainesville, speak of moving to Nicholson and will open a drug store there.

It is the leading journal iu the district: ably, fearlessly and honestly edited, and is worth many times the price—$5 for daily, and $1 for weekly. We will forward your sub- cription for you.

The Sea Island cotton was for merly raised only on the islands of lawful \ our Southern coast; now, however, eward as we are informed by the Thomas- ■ for their toil ar in an tlT. rt to ad vance their condition; but when the public sees these men turned into an instrument of oppression against capital, and even going so far, in their newly-discovered strength, as to threaten the peace and prosperity of the whole coun try, support and sympathy will be withdrawn from them, and given to terrorized capital. We are aware of the fact that Jay Gould controls the telegraph lines and also dic tates every word that is given the public about the Southwestern strike, and have made due allow ance for same; but there is clear to the public mind an evident design on the part of the Southwestern Knights’ to completely subjugate capital and establish on our conti nent a most tyrannical reign of com bined labor. Let Mr. Powderly now step forward and exercise hit power, if he bat any. and restrain the lawless acts of the striker*, and ville Enterprise, splendid crops of it are made in the lower range of counties in this state. It sells for about three times as much as the short staple cotton. Ex-President Arthur is consid ered to be sufleiing his last sick ness. His most intimate friends think that he cannot recover from the malady with which he has been confined for some time, and that his death is only a question of a few months. He is said to be .suffering with Bright’s disease. Governor Lee’s administration in Virginia is already convincing the colored people of that state that a democratic government is far better for their real interests than a repub lican.

We find a vacancy in the office of Notary Public in 37t"-t district, G. M.. and recommend Henry J. Rags dale to fill said vacancy. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. We have examined all public buildings and find that some repairs are necessary, lo-wil: The floors of the Ordinaty’s and Clerk’s offices need to be raised to a level, the gutters need to be re paired, and new pipes need to be affixed to the uriners. and we rec ommend that the Ordinary make these repairs at once; al-o we re commend that the inside walls ot the court house be whitewashed, overhead ceiling be cleaned off and ! mails an aim .. that the rooms be protected against Professor line 1 “ defacing the walls of the building. We recommend thatthe Ordinary be paid $z6 25 for extra services tendered. We recommenJ that the Clerk be paid $12.30 for extra services ren dered. We also recommend that the keeper of the pauper (arm be paid $15 for extra services in keeping two imbeciles that were returned from stale asylum to the county. We further recommend that he be. allowed four dollars per month ex- tia for each imbecile cared for by him. Wcrecommend that Wm.

We find the buildings in good re pair. Would recommend that the Ordinary have a fourth of an acre of ground, more or less, on the pau per farm enclosed with a wall or fence of sufficient height that it can not readily be scaled, and that in this enclosure sufficient buildings be included for dwelling places lot those inebriates that have to be kept there; aUo for Ihore paupers that are unruly and are continually tramping about over the country, and that the keeper be required to keep all unrtiiy and unreliable per sons that are kept there within this enclosure. Wcrecommend that Polly Yar- bery he received at the farm. We also recommend that W. R. Brown remain at the farm, having been sent there by the Ordinary since the last term of court. We recommend that Dr. Stapler do the practice lor the poor house for the year, and that he be paid $65 for his services. We accept the resignation of L. H. Harris as a member of the Board of Education, and recommend W. H. Newton to fill the vacancy, and L. J. Ragsdale to fill the unexpired term of F. M Ragsdale, Infirm. We find that the district trustees have failed to make written reports to the county Board Education, as required by law. We find in matter of town lots ordered sold by the grand jury of 1882, lots sold as directed by said jury, but bill of sale not complied with.
