OUP. lexinqton article.
A friend from I^exington tells us that
our little comparison between Lexington
and Crawford, written in pleasantry, was
taken up by two or three parties in that
town, Who hare no very kind feeling for
the Banner-Watchman, and a desperate
effort made to injure our paper among
the good people of the place. The dirty
little scheme will never work, for we
feel that Lexington is just as near to us
aa Athens, and the people of that old
town know us too well to be fanned into
indignation by a certain party whose aim
is known. Our paper visits nearly
•▼ery home in Oglethorpe county, and
our friendship with the good people is
too deep and lasting to be poisoned in the
slightest degree. So far as the “hospi
tality” we accepted in Lexington, the
three friends that we stopped with know
that it will he returned whenever
they visit Athens.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection

A NICE QUE8TI0N.
We have been informed by a promi
nent attorney of this place, who has
been looking into the railroad question,
that the charter granted the Georgia
railroad gives that corporation exclusive
control of all the territory for twenty
miles on both sides of it and all its
branches, as regards locating railroads,
and that no other railroad can invade this
territory without the consent of that cor
poration. This being the case, the Au
gusta and Chattanooga will be forced to
take the eastern or Elberton route.—El-

HARRY HILL’S RAILROAD.
Th. Bondurant and JopUng Convicts One
Hundred In Number Will Leave Augusta,
Wednesday May 6th, For Union Point—
Stockades Will at Once Be Erected Prepar
atory to Grading—The Union Point and
White Plaint Railroad.
Augusta Chronicle.
Onr enterprising friend Harr/ Hill has
control of this work and he will carry it
out thoroughly we predict He is
thoroughly identified with railroading.
In 1878 he commenced as conductor on
the Washington branch of the Georgia
railroad. He was then appointed to take
charge of a train on the main line. He
was in command of the fast train put on
the line in 1882. He was well known aa
one of the most popular and thorough
going men on the road, and the company
has testified to the faithfulness of his ser
vice.
The Union Point and White Plains
railroad, projected by Mr. Hill, is 13 1-10
miles from White Plains to junction point
with the Georgia road 1}* miles west of
of Union Point. The road will traverse
the Georgia railroad track from junction
to Union Point. It will be operated for
the benefit of the stockholders, at the
same time maintaining the most friendly
relations with the Georgia Railroad Com
pany. It is predicted the road will do a
big business, penetrating as it does an
area of fifteen or twenty miles square
that has no railroad facilities. Certainly
it is, the good people of White PlaiDS are
to be congratulated upon an early railroad
connection, and many benefits will thus
be afforded the rich and prosperous agri
cultural districts of old Greene county.
A Visit to the Famous Colt’s Kills, In
Jackson County.
■n A few day* Since, while on a visit to
y t y_ Hudson, we drove over to the
old Colt’s milb, focsted on Sandy Screek,
now the property of Mr. Wages. This
is one of the oldest mills in our section,
having been built nearly a century ago,
and was once a great place of resort. It
is one of the most romantic spots imag
inable, surrounded by shady valleys ami
abrupt hillsides, at the time of our visit
taking on the garb of spring. f i bis
place figured in the early settlement of
Northeast Georgia, and a fort at one time
crowned the brow of the hill near the
mill daw*, and a spring of crystal water,
gushes from the living rock and
leaps into a natural pool, that has been
hewn from a gigantic boulder, k rom
the fort the men would keep off the red
skins while the women filled their ves
sels with water. No sign of the struc
ture, however, now remains. There are
also seen here, evidently cut by hand, in
the rock near the river, a number of
round basins, and there is also seen the
track of a man, as accurately formed as if
by the chisel of a sculptor. At the mill
the creek passes between hills that leave
a narrow valley, when it widens into the
broad bottoms seen below. Below the
dam, opposite the house of Mr. Wages,
the stream makes a complete elbow,
turning abruptly back in its course.

OUR NEW OPERA HOUSE.
The Project an Assured success—Descrip
tion of the Building.
The scheme of the Athenaeum Club to
build an opera house having fallen
through, the project was taken up by the
business men of our city, headed by
Judge W. B. and Capt W. W. Thomas,
and already it is an assured suc
cess. It is proposed to raise $25,000,
and of this sum seventeen citizens have
already subscribed $17,000, and there
will be no doubt about the rest of the nec
essary money forthcoming. The site
selected is on Clayton street, next to
Crawford’s drug store, and the building
will run back to Market street. The low
er floor will be devoted to three fine iron-
front store-rooms, 100 feet deep. The
entrance to the opera house will be on
Market street, and on a level with ihe
sidewalk, so as to ds away with stairs
There will also be fine offices on the sec
ond floor. The theatre will be hand
somely fitted up with chairs and the fin
est scenery. Capt. James White, of the
National Bank, will furnish the money
to complete the building so soon as the
$25,000 is subscribed on the following
terms per share: $200 cash, and the
remainder of the $1,000 subscription paid
inaannai installments. It is estimated that
this property will pay so handsomely that
each share of $1,000 will only cost the
holder $700. The gentlemen who are at
the head of this scheme know no such
word as fail. It is proposed to begin
work at once, and the building will be
ready by next fall.

THE GEORGIA MIDLAND.
Messrs. Hnnnlcutt ft Yancey’s Fence and
Basket Factory.
Few of our people are aware that there
has been lately started up in Athens an
enterprise that bids fair to shortly swell
to such proportions as to equals!! of our
other factories put together. We refer
to Messrs. Hunnicutt & Yancey’s picket
fence and cotton basket works, estab
lished at the site of Bancroft s old gin-
house. The business is in charge of Mr.
W. K. Burton, who is now at work get
ting everything arranged for business.
They have ordered a 25-h. p. engine
and 30-h. p. boiler, but this is only a
starter, as the capacity must be increased
from time to time. They have already
orders for two million cotton baskets on
hand, to be made in time for the next
crop, and expect the demand to swell to
ten millions before the season opens.
This gives one a slight estimate of the
amount of labor and material necessary
to fill the orders. Besides, they are
manufacturing large quantities of the
Georgia fence, and have lately turned
their attention to making a white oak
picket fence, with steel wire, that will
last a life time.
A WILD MAN LIKE AN. APE.
Nothin* Dives Him Greater Agony Than
the Sight of a Woman.
From the Philadelphia News.
Ca'uckr Dam.'N. J., April vj.—
Two «ons of Arcliilisld Ty«on, a
larraer, returned liom a hunt last
evening leading by a rope a fright
ful spectacle ol humanity in the
shape of a wild inan. lloth the
Tyson hoys are full grown and tell
the following story of t he capture:
About itiion. when they were climb
ing the Kauiupo mountain on the
north side, they heard a shrill voice
howling as it iu agony. Approach
ing the >pot where the sound ca.ne
from they encountered what ap
peared to be a huge ape.
One ol the boys, Shileman, raised
his gun to fire at the huge ape. but
was stopped by his brother. They
then advanced closer and discover
ed that the object was a man.
Scarcely a whole article of clothing
covered hit body. His hair and
beard were long, matted and part'y
gray. They spoke to him and he
jumped toward them in a threaten
ing manner. Hoth dropped their
guns and grappled with him. Af
ters terrible struggle he was over
powered and bound. He uttered a
few unintelligible words and quietly
allowed them to do as they pleased
with him.
After searching in vain tor a hut
or a cave they led him home, where
he wag exhibited to the neighbors.
He appeared to understand the
German language, and whenever a
woman approached would ruu and
tty to escape. It is thought that
he must havt escaped from some
insane asylum and wandered wildly
in the woods.
When a piece of raw meat was
offered him he glitbb.d it and «t» it
ravenously. Mr. Tyson locked him
up in a barn and is waiting for some
relative to claim him.
CRAWFORD SURRENDERS.
REMEDY FOR HOG CHOLERA.
For each hog take a piece of bluestone
the size of a buckshot, and give it dis
solved. If the hog is too sick to eat or
drink drench, using .only a gill of water
in the drench. Two doses are usually
sufficient, given every other night. As
soon as you discover that your hogs have
the cholera separate them, putting the
sick ones in the pen, and be sure that I
each hog gets his dose and no more.
This remedy is a sure pop, we are in
formed, by a farmer who has tried it suc
cessfully for the past eight years.

Henry Crawford, The Slayer of Young Cal
Gordon, Returns to the Scene of his Trou
ble and Surrenders Himself to tho Offi
cers.
Madisonian.
Considerable excitement was cre
ated yesterday by the voluntary sur
render of Henry Crawlord, who kill-
led young Cal. Gordon in this coun
ty, a year ago. The history of the
homocide is still Iresh in minds of
the people, and is still regretted by
the people, as weli as all parties to
the unfortunate trouble that ended
so disastrously. Crawford left the
country, it wiil be remembered, im
mediately after the killing, and
though repeated efforts wert made
to effect his capture, he was success
ful in eluding every attempt at his
arrest. He came into the city yes
terday morning, took breakfast at
the residence ot Hon. F. C. Foster,
his lawyer, and immediately walked
down to the square with the latter
and gave himself up.
Although well known by many
of our people, Crawford walked
through the streets without a single
recognition, and when he went up
to Deputy Sheriff Evans and said
“I have come to surrender myself
I to you,” that gentleman was per
| fectly dazed, remarking, “I don’
know you.” He introduced himself
as Henry Crawford, and turning to
Sheriff Hlllsman who was seen ap
proaching, Crawford continued. “I
have a warrant for you, Mr. Hils-
man." He was immediately taken
in charge by the sheriff, and alter
making some necessary purchases
was taken trf ja'l.

A HUMAN PORCUPINE.
How » Louisiana Infldel Defies God and
Lightning
> fNew York Journal.
New Orleans, April 25.—
Though the Catholic church
throughout the world is opposed to
the spirit of the boycott, and though
several of its high dignitaries have
officially denounced it as • opposed
to the Christian religion. Rev.
Father jacquet, of New Iberia, re-
cognizes the efficiency of ihe weap
on, and has ordered a leligious boy
cott of a merchant ol that town.
There lives in that thriving little
•own a disciple of Ingetsoll named
Lewis, who is aggressive in his as
saults on religion. Mr. Lewis at
tended set vices at a Protestant
church. By a singular coincidence
the minister hau prepared for that
£>abhath an exhaustive sermon on
infidelity. In the midst of his dis
course he made some remark that
caused Mr. Lewis to smile sarcas
tically and contemptuously. Un
fortunately the reverend gentleman
happened to louk in the direction
of the infidel at this moment and
saw the curling lip. His indigna
tion got the better of his discretion,
and he began to preach directly at
the infidel, and wound up by call
ing on the Almighty to show his
people a sign, to send down a bolt
of lightning to blast the infidel, and
convince all doubters of the power
of His arm and the certainty that
His wrath would seek out all scof
fers.
The next day New Iberia was
the centre of a terrible electric
storm. The air was lull of darting
tongues of flame and the crashes of
thunder followed so close upon the
flashes that the women and children
were terror struck and the men be-
Ban to quake. While the entire
pOJplllSltuft wara lex thie n«i Youu
dition, those who lived on the main
street of the town witnessed a spec
tacle that almost congealed the blood
in their veins. Walking directly up
the middle of the street was the in
fidel, with lightning rods protruding
from every part of his body. So
thickly wete they scattered over
him that he looked like a movable
cheveux-de frise. One rod extend
ed 16 feet above his head and ran
half way down his spinal column,
two others of half this length were
attached to each shoulder, while
smaller sections stuck out in every
direction.
The human porcupine stole slow
ly up the street with the lightning
playing all around him. He trav
ersed the entire length of the town,
finally reaching the residence of the
preacher who had denounced him
on the day previous. Entering the
house without the usual pull at the
bell, he proceeeded directly to the
gentleman’s study. The preacher
was naturally a nervous man, and
the frequent crashes were uncom
fortably near him. He tried to con
centrate his attention on an open
Bible He held in his hand, but each
Hash caused him to dart apprehen
sively. As he was thus engaged he
felt a hand on his shoulder, and
turning quickly was face to face
with the infidel. Instantly the sig
nificance of Mr. Lewis’ rig flashed
upon the preacher, and with a yell
of terror he sprang through the open
door and fled from the house.
This incident provoked a great
deal of merriment from the few
skepties in the New Iberia and
caused a great deal of indignation
among the religious. The friends
of Lewis seemed satisfied with their
leader’s achievement, and the cam
paign died ~out, until a couple of
Sunday’s ago, when Rev. Father
Jacquet, pastor of the Catholic
church, preached a sermon on the
infallibility of the Pope. The fol
lowing Tuesday, Mr. Julius Coch, a
druggist, who holds the same opin-
ions as Mr. Lewis, placed a large
blackboard in front of his store
bearing the following inscriptions:
“An honest God is the noblest
work of man.”
"The doctrine of the infallibility
of the Pope is an insult to the dig*
nity of human nature.”
“The devil is myth—hell an im
possibility.”
“The world has furnished 16 cru
cified saviours and 27 revealed reli
gions, and every one says the other
is laLe.”
Around this incription were alle
gorical pictures giving the author’s
ideas of the different ceremonials ot
heaven and hell. An exact copy
was made of this blackboard, which
was tacked on the door of the Cath
olic church by order of Father
Jacquet, and underneath was placed
a large placard with the following
injunction:
“Christians of all denominations,
boycott that insulter.”
Mr. Koch retaliated the next day
by adding the following to his black
board:
“The higher we stand in the scale
ot being the nobler will be our con
ception of God. We do not believe
God commanded Jeremiah to slay
women and children. See Jeremi
ah. xv. chapter.” ,
Both the local papers have de
nounced the placard, and advised
the infidels to yieid to public opin
ion, but Mr. Koch shows no dispo
sition to do so, and it is presumed
the boycott ordered by the priest
will go on. The community is over
whelmingly Catholic, and the drug
gist’s business has already began to
fall off.
KNIGHTS OF CAPITAL.
How tiie Battle With The Workingmen Has
Been prepared For.
New York, April 25.—Just as
the tioub.e between the Northern
and Southern States led, year by i
year, through a number of decudes
to the struggle of twenty five years
ago, so have thediflerences between
capital and labor been approaching
a final struggle. It has been said
that the strikes all over the country-
are indictive that the period is at
hand when the millionaire and cor
poration On one side, and the work
ingmen on the other, must come to
a satisfactory and final understand
ing, which is to be the supremacy
the one or the other.
Strikers in a majority of instances
have met with success in times past
simply because they were organized
but recent information shows that
the millionaires and corporations
have also organized and that
to this fact is due the vir
tual defeat of the Knights of Labor
on the Gould Southwestern system
in Chicago, on the Third
Avenue road in this city and ot the
sugar strikers in’Brooklyn. It is
learned that from the day last sum
mer when Gould was forced to bow
the knee to the Knights and gram
their demands for an ajustment ot
of the grievances on the Wahbash
system that the capitalists and large
corporations,seeing the handwriting
on the wall, have been preparing
for a final struggle.
Practically speaking a great union
Of the moneyed interests has been
in course of tormation for many
months. At first the surface rail
road corporations of this city did
not belong to the union, and they
were forced to grant the demands
of their men in january. Since
then it ca.n positively be stated that
the Presidents of the roads have
joined the the big union, subscribed
from $1,000,000 upward, and
is prepared to give battle to the
Knights.
To this union of capital more than
anything else is due defeat of the
Third Avenue strikers. To this
big union is due the deteat of the
strikers on the Southwestern sys
tem, and defiant attitude of Iloxie
and the surrender of the strikers at
Chicago. When Hoxie turned his
back upon the members of the
General|Executive Committee of the
Knights of Labor he knew that all
the roads leading into St. Louis had
subscribed $250,000 as a fund to de
feat the strikers. He knew that all
the other roads of the country were
willing to subscribe hundreds ol
thousands to crush the Knights o!
Labor and the labor unions of the
country.
The last to come into the ring are
the sugar refiners of Brooklyn.
They also have subscribed to the
big fund and are prepared to fight
to the e-.id. They are even more de
fiant than Iloxie. They absolutely
refuse to take the strikers back at
anything like former wages. They
will shut down entirely, they say,
knowing full well that as the
Knights have a fund from which to
draw support, they also have a fund
running up in the millions from
which to draw sustenance.
A certain president of one of the
trunk lines said to day that his com
pany stood ready to subscribe $500,-
000 to the big fund the first indica
tion ol trouble from its employes.
Whether Gould is the general mas
ter workman of the Knights of Cap
ital cannot be learned, but such is
the report This big fund has en
abled the corporations to scour the
country for non-union men. and it
can be positively stated that in the
event of a general tie-up
of the railroids in this or any other
big cities these men stand ready to
take the place of the strikers.

A Child Flaying With a snake.
The other day while the lour year
old child of Mr. A non Knight was
playing in the yard she espied alive
snake stretched out -n the sun. The
child innocently picked up the rep
tile and began playing with it. The
sn.it-e took the caresses ot the child,
good naturedly and was not fright
ened at all. Mrs. Knight missed the
child and began a bunt for her. She
was found in the yard having a regu
lar picnic with her peculiar and dan-
I'erous play-mate. Mrs.Knight was

A Ghana* forth* Negro.
A new proposition for n solution
ot the strike question is advanoed
by the Enterprise, a New York ne
gro organ. It says: “Wfhile the
strike ia in progress the black ftftn
should organize and present thehi
selves in a body to the employers
and ask for the vacant places; there
is no impropriety in such a move.
The negro has been idle too long
and now is his chance; let him act.”
Probably this would be a good idea
in more than one respect. If the
colored man could only be made to
stick to a place on some of the 18-
hour-a-day car lines, he would not
have time in which to expatiate on
his importance in national politics.

Gainesville Eagle.
On Tuesday, 20‘h inst., a young
cyclone, or a double-barrel whirl-
whirlwind, visited Sampson Moon
ey’s place, down on the Chattahoo
chee, and snatched up his saw mill
and tore it into smithereens in ‘less
time than it takes to tell the tale.
Uncle Sampson came to the conclu
sion, when the cyclone passed
Gainesville a couple of years ago,
that a “dug out” would be a good
place to get in when such visitors
were passing, and constructed him
self a regular bombproof cyclone
pit. He had been informed that
these bugle-shaped tempests were
always accompanied with an angry
cloud, and traveled from west to
east. This visitor reversed these
laws by coming from the east, and
on a day as “clear as a bell.” When
Uncle Sampson heard the noise he
stepped to the door and lound the
monster making for his domicile
with almost the rapidity of a bullet.
There was no time for considera
tion—not a moment for reflection.
He gave an old-lashioned Confed
erate warwhoop to notify his fami
ly of their danger, and lit out for
the plum orchard, at regular broad
gauge speed. He now contends
that a cyclone pit is more ornamen
tal than useful. He saw it tackle
the Chattahoochee, alter it had de
molished his mill, and says that the
river got the bestot it It unloaded
a large lot of the plunder it was
carrying, and left down through his
plantation, limping and otherwise

cued two of the children alive, but
will hardly survive. The baby was
forgotten and was consumed with
the house. Several firemen were
badly burned.
A rather peculiar case is to come
off in Marion superior court—that
of a man on trial for a murder com
mitted thirty-two years ago. At
the time the deed was committed a
negro slave—who was not allowed
by law to testify—2l!edged that he
saw the murder committed. Since
emancipation gave him the right
to appear on the witness stand, he
has appeared before the grand jury
and a true bill was found. The sup
posed murderer has been arrested
and will stand trial on the charge.
Chicago, April 29.—A large
meeting of workingmen and labor
ers from the Union stock yards was
held last evening to ratify the eight
hour movement. The meeting was
addressed by George N. Sheets,
editor of the Knights of Labor or-
gan,of Chicago, who took occasion
to give his views on strikers in a
manner that astonished some of his
hearers. He declared strikes to be
foolish, no matter how just the
cause of the strikers might be, and
said they were a weapon which no
workingman could use without do
ing himself harm.
Macon, Ga., April 29.—At Mon
tezuma to-day J. D. Busbee was
killed by John C. DeGraffenreid.
Hard feelings had existed between
them on account of the recent pro
hibition campaign in Dooly county.
DeGraffenreid went to Busbee’s
store and called him out. Some
hot words passed between them,
when DeGaffenreid called Busbee
a liar, whereupon Busbee knocked
him down. As DeGaffenreid rose
from the ground he pulled out his
pistol and shot Busbee through the
body, killing him instantly. De-
Gaffenried fled. Both are promi
nent citizens.
Tbs Withdrawal of the Morgan Line May
Lead to a Truce.
Galveston, Tex., April 28—It
was reported here yesterday that
the Executive Board ot District As
sembly No. 78, of the Knights of
Labor, now in session at Fort
Worth, has issued an order raising
the boycott against the Mallory
steamship line. The officers of the
Local Assembly emphatically deny
that such an order has been agreed
upon. Private telegrams from
Fort Worth fail to confirm the
report, but state that the Execu
tive board are discussing some con
templated action in *the matter of
the Mallory boycott. The last Mor
gan line steamers of the season sail
ed from here yesterday, leaving the
ocean trade between Galveston and
New York entirely to the Mallofy
line until fall. The Morgan ships
are withdrawn every season from
Galveston. It is thought that this
tact is influencing the Knights to
consider the advisability of suspend
ing the boycott, againt interior
merchants who ship via the Mallory
line, until the Morgan or some other
company re-establishes an opposi
tion line to New York.

success.
Atlanta, April 27.—I learn
from a reliable source this morning
that a majority of the new vestry of
St, Phillip’s church deem it their
duty to provide for Dr. Armstrong,
annd are thinking of making him
superintendent of St. Phillip’s
Sunday school at a salaty ol $1,500
per annum. “I am not sure that
they will do this,” said my inform
ant, “hut of one thing I am posi
tive, their whole object is to pro
vide Dr. Armstrong with a place
which will keep him in Atlanta and
in St. Phillip’s church. You can
just paste that in your hat and await
developments.”
Toi’EKA, Kan., April 28.—Last
Saturday the wife of Jacob Frei-
muth, a farmer in Seward county,
was outraged, murdered, and hor
ribly mutilated by F. Rupin, a half
witted German. Freimuth was
absent at the time. When he re
turned he became insane and blew
his brains out. The neighbors,
learning of the tragedy, hunted the
murderer out ot his hiding, fasten
ed one end of the rope around his
neck and the other to the pommel
ot a saddle upon the back of a
strong, fast horse, turned him loose
and frightened him into a run, and
the man was dragged to death. Ru
pin had been sheltered for many
months by Freimuth while he was
out ot employment.
