The Farming Outlook—Our How Court House--A Qraulto Company--Lexington to Haro a Railroad--Moving to Athena- Polltics, etc. 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. OoLETHORFB. 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.

My racetrack is still open, but I have lost all interest in it. Sometimes the boys meet there and run their scrub stack for a few dollars. I have owned some of the fastest quarter horses that ever run over the track, but I think Wool Winder the fastest I ever saw; he could run a quarter in 21 sec onds, and that was next to flying. I have made a barrel of money on my horses, but once in a whiled would be picked up by some fellow and would lose. I always hacked my horses for all I had, ana these sharpers knew this and would catch me. 1 am done now with horse racing, as I am getting too old, but I like to think over it and enjoy teeing a good horse as much as anybody. 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. More anon. Oglethorpe. POWDERLY SPEAKS OUT HE DEMANDS MORAL SUPPORT OF THE KNIGHTS. Tbe Mxiter Workman Dlsconntenincei Eoy. cotta and Strikes and Wames the Knlglits acainst Politicians—He Glvst Almost Word for Word the 8ams Advise and Ar guments the Athene Banner-Watchman Vied—A Shrewd, Conservative Leader that Commands Respsct. etc. 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 RIVER FULL OF FISH. 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. must obey must be permitted to resign from a location which obliges me to play one part before the public and ano ther to our members. 1 say to the world that the Knights of Labor do not approve or encourage strikes, and in one day come to me from Troy, New York, Manchester, N. H., Chicago, Cincinnati, Lvnch- burg, Va , Sprinfield. Ohio, and Montreal announcing strikes. It is impossible for human nature to stand the strain any longer. I must have the assistance of the or der or my most earnest efforts will fail. Will I have it? If so, strikes must be avoided, boycotts must be avoided. Those who boast must be checked by their assembles. No move must be made until the court of last resorts has been appealed to, Threats ot violence must not be made; politicians must be hush* ed up or driven out; obedience to the laws ot Knighthood must have preference to any other order. In our members we require, se crecy, obedience, assistance, pa tience and courage. It with these aids you strengthen my hands, I will continue the work. If you do not desire to assist me, then select a rnan better qnalified to obey your will, and I will retire in his favor. Scranton, Pa., March 26.—Mas ter Workman Powderly, of the Knights ot Labor, who has been confined to his house for several days, owing to an accident which he sustained last Saturday in Bloomington, Ill., where he fell and fractured two of his ribs, when asked what authority there was for the statement ot Chairman Irons, of St. Louis, published this afternoon, to the effect the sttike would probably extend throughout the United States and include all Knights of Labor, regardless of occupation, Mr. Powderly replied: ‘Irons has no authority what ever to make such a statement. That order can only come from the Executive Board. I may say there A REBELLIOUS HERO. It is not generally known that we have in our midst the hero of three rebellions. The first one he wu in w - the Polish rebellion, and when that spurted a large reward was offered for his head, and he went to Hungary where he joined the Hungarian rebellion under Kossuth, and finding that Kossuth was about to throw j up the sponge he came to America just in time to find the U nited States in a terrible j commotion. Having had alltherebel- i lions he wanted he concluded to remain neutral and make cigars for a living. POST-OFFICE APPOINTMENTS.

Mr. Woodward disclaimed that the K. of L. had anything to do with strikes; that it was true that they were given credit for it, hut that other organi zations inaugurated the strikes and the K. of L. got credit for it. They never did participate in a strike, and cannot go into one. Their iftain object was to act as a board of arbitration between the employees and employers, and settle all difficulties without any trouble. LUCK AND PLUCK.

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.

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.

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. The Great Rehedv.

And Ht Stood Hot Upon the Order of Going —Baldwin's Prohls and Antles Chits In Ridding the County of a Man who Told the negroea to Iniult Ladles. 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.
