Special to Ranner-Watchman.
Lexington, Ga., March 25.—Dear
Banner-Watchman: Therein very little
news now afloat, hut perhaps I can gath
er enough items to fill out a letter. Farm
ers are hard at work breaking up land
and putting in guano, and the fields are
in better condition than for years. The
land has been thoroughly pulverized by
the hard freezes of last winter, and eve
rybody prophecies a fine crop year.
Work on our new court-house is pro
gressing splendidly. The walls are now
going up and the public square presents
a busy scene. The opposition to a new
temple of justice is fast disappearing,
now that the people see the matter is
settled irrevokably. It is urged, while
the work is being done, for the commis
sioners not to let a few thousand dollars
stand between them and a fine struc
ture. I think the original design
should now he carried out We want a
modern court-house, with the outer
walls trimmed with Oglethorpe granite.
Such a building will not only reflect the
development and public-spirit of our
county, hut advertise one of our most
important resources—the granite quar
ries in and around this village.
And, Mr. Editor, our people are great
ly excited over this granite, and we con
fidently expect to see it made the means
of enriching our county and building up
Lexington Specimens of this stone have
been sent to different cities and quarry-
men. and the unanimous verdict is that
tis the finest granite in America. Steps
cut from it a century ago are as perfect,
and the edges as sharp, as if just from
the hands of the mason. There is enough
of this stone within half a mile of Lex
ington to rebuild New York City a dozen
times. Owing to its extreme hardness it
costs about 20 per cent, more to dress
than Stone Mountain granite, and is sus
ceptible to a beautiful polish. But for
Belgian blocks, or split stone, this gran
ite is peculiarly adapted. It can be split
out like chestnut rails, and I noticed one
large rock, some thirty feet long and 15
through, that has been hursted open by
some convulsion of nature as smoothly as
if ripped with a saw. A company
of three prominent gentlemen has been
formed to dec 'lop this quarry, and they
have abundant means at their command
to lo so.
The only thing necessary to place this
granite on the market is * > build a rail
road from Crawford tc Lexington—a dis
tance of four miles. 1 no route has al-
| ready been surveyed, and a responsible
•" 1 party proposes to grade it for $3nO per
ir ; milr. The farmers around and below
' ; Lexington say they will furnish all the
cross-ties anil timber needed as subscrip
tion to the road. The only thing in the
way is its equipment, and even this ob
stacle will be surmounted. Arrange
ments have already been perfected to
get the iron on most advantageous terms,
and the rolling stock will also be forth
coming in due season. This is no vis
ionary scheme, hut from the character
of the gentlemen who are quietly work
ing it, I feel confident that Lexington will
at last get a railroad. The guage will be
the same as the Georgia road, of course,
to obviate unloading the granite at Craw
ford from the cars.
Since Christmas, Athens has taken a
dozen or fifteen of our best citizens from
Lexington, and our town is threatened
with a loss of as many more. The Clas
sic City seems to he the Mecca now to
which all eyes are turned, and I hear of
several families from the country, too,
that are preparing to swell your popula
tion. Your free schools will act as a
great magnet toaty-act new citizens.
Col. Mattox's letter announcing his
withdrawal from the congressional race
was quite a surprise to our people.
There is not a shadow of doubt but what
he would have carried this county. I
am well acquainted with all the circum
stances surrounding Col. Mattox, and he
gave the true reason for retiring from the
race. He had no doubt of his success.
Bill Mattox is not a maa to surrender
without a struggle, and had his private
interests allowed would have made one
of the finest fights this district ever saw.
Will write you to-inorrow of a recent
visit I have made to Col. Smith's farm.

LETTER FROM CARNESVILLE. THE GREAT FARMER.
Franklin Court~A Small AtUudakce~TH. ' A BAILROAD FROM WINTEBVILLE
Horae Swappers—Col. Camp 1 Candidacy,
etc.
The old town of Oarnesville looks nat
ural. It is one of the first villages that
was located in Georgia. The place vris
located by a man named Carnes, so the
oldest inhabitants say, and the present
court-house site was located according
to his directions. He camped on the hill
upon which the present town is built,
and tradition says that he pitched his
camp here, and from thence on until now
the place has been called Carnesville.
Tuesday the horse-swappers took the
day. There was not as large a rrowd as
generally attends. The Carnesville
swapping-ground long has had the repu
tation of being the biggest one in Geor
gia. The woods just to the northeast of
the place were filled with horses of all
kinds, sizes and colors, and the day was
spent by them in running their animal*
to death, and swapping just for a change.
We saw several swap for 25 cents and
the horse thrown in.
In a conversation with Hon. Benjamin
F. Camp, the writer asked him if he was
still in the field for congressional honors.
“A great many of my friends want me
to run,” said Mr. Camp, “but Pm unde
cided as yet as to whether I will let my
name go before the convention. I have
not canvassed the district as yet, owing
to sickness in my family. I am confi
dent that I can carry Franklin, Hart
Madivon, and since Mr. Mattox has re
tired from the field, I have no hesitancy
in saying that Elbert would go for me.
Then I have a good following in Clarke,
and many staunch friends in Athens-
Clarke owes Franklin a debt of
gratitude, and I think it would be noth
ing amiss to let Franklin have the man.
If I'm the man the people want I’m wil
ling to serve them. 1 am no office-seek
er, and shall always advocate that the of
fice should seek the man and not the
man the office. Mr. Reese is too much of
a dude to represent our mountain peo
ple. and he stands no showing whatever
in this county. He may carry two or
three counties, but 1 don't think he’s the
man the people want Then again, Mr.
Reese has had the office two terms, and
should be willing that some other man
as able as he should be honored with the
office. I don’t know whether the peo
ple want me or not. as I told you just
now, and 1 haven't as yet permitted iny
name to go before the convention, al
though I receive letters daily, and my
friends are urging me to do so. I will lot
be known in a short while as to my
candidacy. In about a week’s time I
will have made up my mind. I expect
to attend Clarke superior court, and if a
candidate for congress, will let the peo
ple hear from me!” The reporter left
Mr. Camp with the conviction that if the
people of the 8th congressional district
wanted the gentleman from Franklin as
their representative he would certainly
be nominated, C. K. T.

Mr. G. K. Woodward Addresses a Large I
Audience—Politics # Not Allowed—Law
yers and Gamblers Barred--Educatlon
and Other Subjects.
Wednesday night a very large crowd,
both white and colored, were at the ope
ra house, to hear Mr. G. K.
Woodward, of Atlanta, editor of the
Working World, a paper that has lately
come into prominence in advocating the
boycott against the Atlanta Constitution.
Mr. Woodward was introduced to the
audience by Mr. W. L. Wood, w’ho stat
ed that he w*ould address them on the
objects of the K. of L. There were
several prominent members of the order
on the stage, and the whole audience
listened attentively to every word that
fell frain the speaker's lips. Mr. Wood
ward commenced hy speaking of our
beautiful city, and said that next to At
lanta he had rather live in Athens than
any city in the United States. He next
informed them that there was an idea
extant that the Knights ofLahorw&s apol
itical organization, and he took this occa
sion to deny the charge, and said that his
order strictly forbid the mention of poli
tics in any of their assemblies; that they
should vote for the best men, and those
identified with the laboring classes, lie
explained the difference between a mo
nopolist and and a capitalist and intimat
ed that a great many of the K. of L.
thought and talked as if every capitalist
was a monopolist. He was in favor of
capitalists, as capital and labor were in
the same boat, and one could not live
without the other. He spoke some time
on who could join the order, and said
that the gentlemen who made their liv
ing hy handling the paste board abomi
nation were forever barred from this or
ganization, as they did not make their
living by the sweat of their brow. The
lawyers were barred on account of being
retained by corporations whom the
Knights were fighting, and from the
•»ath they take they could not fight the
Knights of Labor in the courts. lie
touched upon the street corner politi
cians, who stood upon the corners,
chewed tobacco, and knew nothing
about the man or party they were advo
cating. The speaker dwelt at length
upon educatin'* the laboring classes, giv
ing some good sound advice about ed
ucating their children. 'File convict sys
tem received his especial attention, and
while he declared that the K. -of L. had
nothing to do with politics, he told them
not to vote for a member of the legisla
ture who was not in favor of doing away
with the lease system. He stated that
Tbe Farm of Hon. Jamea SK. Smith—fils
Cotton Seed Oil Mill—A Fertilizer Manu
factory—The Convicts—A Man ol Wonder
ful Brains and Business Capacity, etc.
Lexington, Ga., March 25.—Dear
Banner-Watchman: A few days since 1
spent the afternoon and night with Hon.
James M. Smith, the largest and most
successful planter in Georgia. .This
farm and the manner of its cultivation
have been so often written about that it
would be a repetition of what has already
been reported to repeat the description.
The hundreds of hands and plows here
are all now hard at work preparing for
another crop, and considerable headway
has been made.
The enterprise of Col. Smith seems un
bounded. and the public have ceased to
be surprised at any undertaking by
him. He has now in succcessful opera
tion a cotton seed oil mill, and is hard at
work extracting the oil and manufactur
ing guano. Besides making his Jown
fertilizers. Col. Smith will have some
for sale, as he expects to this season
prepare abaut 1,000 tons.. He has great
barns filled with seed, and all the chem
icals necessary. It is estimated that hy
manufacturing his fertilizers at home he
has a saving of between 25 and per
cent, not counting the trouble of hauling
frara the railroad, a distance of nine
miles. This mill, besides other machin
ery, is turned by a 100-h. p. engine, and
everything works like a charm.
But Col. Smith’s enterprise docs not
stop even here, but he will, as soon as
crops are laid by next summer, put 200
hands to grading a railroad from Winter
ville to his plantation. It is nine miles
and the ground comparatively level.
This gentleman ’has abundant means,
and whatever he undertakes is carried to
success. The idea of an individual
planter, at his exclusive expense, build
ing and equipping a Railroad nine miles
long, to transport his crops and freight,
is a streak of daring and enterprise that
will challenge the admiration of the
country. And when we remember that
Col. Smith started after the war on a cap-
tal of only $300,the statement that there
is no money in Georgia lands and negro
labor is branded as wrong. The place
that Col. Smith got his start on was the
thinnest grade of up-land, and the for
mer owners had barely eked out an ex
istence by tilling it. So ’tis seen that it
is all in the man. and not the land. Be
sides all manner of provisions—enough
to run his farm—Col. Smith raises 1,000
bales of cotton a year, that is nearly all
clear money. Besides, he selis from his
mills ’Hundreds of barrels of Hour, ground
from wheat raised on the place. To give
the public an idea of the immensity of
his business, we will state that Col. S.
l.as paid one Athens firm .$15,000 for
goods bought since Christmas. He set
tles all bills at the end of the month, and
keeps free of debt.
1 rode down to the convict farm, and
not only went through the stockade, but
saw and conversed with the prisoners
bile at work in the fields. They are
all looking splendidly, and say there is
nothing to complain of—that they are
well fed, kindly treated, and worked no
harder than the free labor. Any charge
as to mistreatment of convicts at this
camp is false, and can be so proved.

St. Louis, March 26—Master
Workman Powderly ha- ivMied a
secret circular “to the N. hie Ordei
of Knights ol Labor of America,”
which has just been made public
Mr. Powderly instructs the secrete
ry of each assembly to call a full
meeting, and read before it the sen
timents which follow.
The address opens with an order
to each assembly to cease initiating
new members until the relations ol
capital and labor shall become less
strained than at present, and con
tinues: *
To attempt t# win concessions or
gains with our present raw, undis
ciplined membership would be like
hurling an unorganized mob ngainst
a well-drilled regular army.
It is not fair to the older assem
blies to bring in new members, pick
up their quarrels as soon as organ
ized, and have them expect pecuni
ary aid from those who helped to
build up the order for noble pur-
passes.
We must not fritter away our
strength and miss the opportunity
of present success in the struggle
against capital by rushing to use
less strikes.
Mr. Powderly cautions the as
semblies against receiving into
their ranks employers, and warns
the Kuights of Labor that the poli
tician is planning night and day
how to catch the Knights of Labor
for advantages of himself and par
ty, and adds that to use the name
of the order in a political contest is
criminal and must not occur again.
After speaking of the qualities
which officers of the assemblies
should pos ess, and expecting the
Knights to elect honest men of even
temperament, M'. Powderly con
tinues:
While I write a dispatch is hand
ed to me, in which I read these
words:
“They discharged our brother and
we struck, for you know our motto
is. ‘An injury to one is the concern
of ail.’”
Yes, an injury to one is the con
cern of all. But it is not wise to
injure all for the sake of one. It
would, have been far better to con
tinue at work and properly investi
gate the matter, bringing it before
the ever known tribunals, than to
strike.”
In conclusion the Master Work
man says:
One or two things must take
prevent the interuption of business
by legal moans, that the company
has a clear legal remedy against the
members of the Knights of Labor
in suits for damages. The members
of the Association he avers are co-
pa tners in ‘ conspiracy and co , b r
nation.” and arr responsible at laty
as other partners are, by damages
inflced by the Knights of Labor
association. Jay Gould proposes to
recover damages from every mem
ber of the As-ociation who has anv
property. Some ot the men are
worth $15 000 J or $20,000 apiece.
They are re-ponsilde, says he, for
the losses the road harA suffered, if
they belong to the Knights of Labor.
We will show them says Jay Gould,
that we intend to force all our legal
righs. And we shall bring suits
against Knights of Labor who have
property on other lines of railroads
and in other States. We shall at
tempt to recover damages from ev
ery member who has property we
can attack.
Judge Dillion, who is Jay Gould's
lawyer, tells his manager in so many
words that the body which directs
the illegal acts, as well as persons
who aid, abet, counsel or assist in
furthering their accomplishment,
equally liable to the extent ot the
damage; and ^11 nr any may be sued
lor damages, ( and recovery in the
civil suit in no wise affects the trim-
nal liability.

The freshets last year broke a great
many fish ponds up the Oconee river and
large quantities of carp were turned
loose. Thursday llenrv Beusse, jr.,
with some little hoys, went seining on
Trail creek, near the bridge, and caught
!*7 pounds of fish at seven hauls. This
is no fish story, for they were brought
up and sold on the street, and a nice
little sum of money was realized from
their two hours* work. The fish caught
were carp, and some of them a cross
between the sucker and carp. If we
only had a fish law, the Oconee river
would soon furnish all the fish we want,
without sending to Charleston and Sa
vannah for them.

‘Irons has no authority what

A Terrible Accident Tbat Befell a Negro
Woman on the C., C. & A. Railroad.
News has reached the city that a
horrible accident occurred last
night on the incoming passeuger
train of the C., C. & A. railroad.
At one of the stations between
Charlotte and Columbia it seems
that a large crowd of colored peo
ple had congregated at the depot to
hid their pastor farewell. One of
the ctowd, a woman, whose name
could not be ascertained,
attempted to cross the track, and
while in the act of going
across, her foot got entangled in a
frog or a cross tie, and she fell upon
the rails. Just then a train came
thundering aruund a curve and ran
over the unfortunate woman, com
pletely severing her head from her
body before she could be extricated
from her perilous position. This is
a very sad case indeed, but no blame
can be attached to any one, as it was
the fault of the poor woman her
self.—Augusta News.
An effort is being made to get
Sam Jones and Sam Small to hold a

is no danger of any such order
being issued at pressent.
Where the Knights of Labor are on

ers their arguments and cormacts
must be lived up to. no matter what
may be going on in any other part
of the country. Where no contract
exists bet ween employer and em
ployed all differences arising be
tween them must be settled through
arbitration. This must and shall be
the last strike taken without full
authority from the lix-cutive
Board.”
WHAT IRONS SAVS.
St Lpuis, March c6.—“Is there
any probability of the strike extend
ing further?” asked a reporter ot
Chairman Martin Iron* at East St.
Louis last night.
“Yes,” answered Irons “the strike
will probably extend through the
whole of the United States."
“Will it be confined to railroad
employes?”
“No, sir; the move to-day is hut
the beginning of the end. Not only
railroad employes will be called out,
but on order will go out to all the
Knights Of Labor in this country,
regardless of occupation."
•‘Then it will be a general strike?”
“Yes, sir. The Order ot the
Knights of Labor has got to be rec
ognized.”
When will this general order be
given out?”
“I cannot say as to the time,but it
will be in •few days'”
CHIEF ENGINEER ARTHUR QUOTED.
Chicago, March 26.—Chief En
gineer Arthur, of locomotive Broth
erhood: We have nothing to do
with the strike and discountenance
it. Powderly should have ordered
the Knights back to work on the
Missouri Pacific or revoked their
charters when they announced they
had no grievance.
Let me predict they will do just
as the Coopers Union, the printers’
the machinists and others did, They
strike a strike means assessment
and an assessment means death. I
don’t believe in the eight hour sys
tem. Two hours less work means
in two many cases two hours more
loafing about the streets and two
more for drinking.

BURNED ALIVE IK JAPAN.
How the Mikado Punishes Incendiaries.
The law is very severe in punish
ing incendiarism. In 1S62 a gang
of thieves crossed the Straits of
Tangaru to Hakodati and set fire to
a ship-yard belonging to the gov
ernment, destroying a large amount
of property. Great vigilance and
rxertion on the part of the detec
tive force resulted in the capture uf
two of the ringleaders. They were
summarily tried and condemned to
be burned at tne stake, and notice
was given to the foreign represen
tatives that the execution would
occur at a certain time and place.
We found it to be a desolate spot
on the sand flat opposite the town
of Hakodati, on the border of the
bay, where a stout post was driven
into the sand, and a pile of fagots
heaped at the foot of it. Oil one
side were a dozen or more large
bundles of rice straw. In the back
of the post and about ten feet from
the ground, was a heavy iron spike,
and at the foot was a box about a
loot high.
The prisoners were brought over
from the town tn a boat to the
beach, whereon were gathered half
the inhabitants, numbering some
two thousand. The first victim was
stripped of all clothing and made to
stand upon the box. A long straw
rope was then dragged through the
mud at the water’s edge until it was
thoroughly coated and rendered
temporarily fire-proof. It was then
wound very loosely around the
body and neck of the culprit, each
tutti being taken also around the
stake, and the end finally fastened
10 the spike, far above his head.
The lagots were then piled around
his feet and as high as his knees,
after which the straw was packed
against him and the stake as high
as his chin, leaving only his face
exposed to view.
When all was leady, four officers
oflow rank came forward and ap
plied torches to the bottom of the
pile, (where the fagots were satura
ted with spirits.) The effect was
electric; the blaze mounted instant
ly to the straw, while penetratiag
to the fagots, and an iron hook was
applied to the box on which the
victim stood, and it was snatched
from under him. This had the ef
fect ol tightening the coils ot the
rope around his body, and notably
around his. neck, thus producing
simultaneously strangulation and, by
the now thorougly ignited straw,
perfect suffbeatian. The end came
quickly and with but leint strug
gle. Meanwhile the fagots contin
ued to burn and completed the de
struction of the entire body.

Milledgevilee, March 24 —
Abont two thousand negroes—wo
men, men and children—attended
t he anti-prohibition barbecue yester
day, which was held on the green
near the river bridge, about a half
mile from town. They came from
all parts of the country. About 12
o’clock fully one thousand formed
themselves in a line, and, headed by
a band, marched through all the
principal streets, and such expres
sions as these were frequently heard
from the crowd: “White folks are
down, nigger on top;” “The bot
tom rail on top at last,” etc.
The whole affair was very offen
sive to the whites; but no interfer
ence was made to the orocession.
The most prominent person in the
procession was a white man named
Henry E. Kreutz, a bar-keeper of
this place. He was on horseback,
and rode up and down the
line and seemed to be the
grand master of the day, and at
times made use of very offensive
language against the prohibitionists.
Last night he had a large crowd of
drunken negroes in his bar, and
spoke to them in the bitterest terms
of the prohibitionists, and especially
about the ladies of the town who
had taken part in the prohibition
campaign. He used the most of
fensive language that could be used
about a lady. Several white men
w ho were near heard the remark and
took it up, and a general fight ensu
ed.
When the circumstances became
generally known this morning, the
town was worked up to fever heat,
and there were strong talk of laying
violent hands on Kreutz. About
40 of the most prominent citizens,
both prohibitionists and antis, wait
ed on Kreutz and requested him to
leave town before 5 o’clock this
evening He tried to explain mat
ters by saying he was drunk and not
responsible for what he said, but no
no excuses would be listened to by
the indignant citizens, and Kreutz
left about 11 o’clock in his buggy,
and it is thought that he haa gone
to his place in Laurens county.
