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. CURE FuR PILES.

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- borton Gazette. NEIGHBORIJNGCOUNTIES. ; WALTON COUNTY.

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. A RELIABLE ARTICLE. For enterprise, push, and a desire to fiet such goods as will give the trade satisfaction E. S.

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.

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."

Tom Hester has traveled over mo6t of this county recently for the pur pose of receiving tax returns. He says that he has not seen more thaa two fields of wheat that looked like they would make anything like a crop, and says that upon inquiry, he was told that the fields were run over with a heavy brush in the fall just after the grain was sown and plowed in. Other fields of grain in the same neighborhood, net treated in the same way, were killed out Farmers Should make a note of thin. A HOOD INVESTMENT.

Mr. Henry Smith, an old citizen of Mad ison county, living on the Danielsville road, a few miles from Danielsville, has been missing from his home for several days, and was supposed to have wander ed off in an insane condition. A large number of friends interested themselves in the hunt for him, and the unfortunate gentleman was found in a creek a few miles from his home, having been dead several hours. The old gentleman was much respected, and leaves many friends to mourn his sad end. There seemed to he doubt of his sanity.

Mr. Davis’ Ovation Through Georgia. Atlanta, Ga., April 30.—Two special cars that lelt for Montgom ery yesterday to* bring Jeffetson Davis to Atlanta arrived this after-, noon. An immense crowd of not less than 50,000 greeted him at the depot cheering wildly. The whole city is beautifully decorated. At every station along the route from Mont gomery Mr. Davis was met by tre mendous delegations, who shouted and cheered from the moment the train came in sitght till it wasout,of hearing. At each station speeches were made by different people. Mr Davis spoke some theffigh he was very weak. At LaGrange, Ga-, the committee endeavored to prevent him from speaking, but he said he must speak a few words theie as it was the old home of Ben Hill. The Mayor ot Montgomery accompa nied the party; and upon their arri val they were met by the Hill Statue Committee and Governor McDaniel and the whole party amid up- roarout cheering, were driven to the residence of Mrs. B H. Hill, whose guest Mr. Davit will be. The children of the city, numbering not less than 8,000, were in line all the way from the depot to Mrs. Hill's residence, and scattered flowers be fore the ex-President's carriage. Two thousand ex-Contederate vet eran* followed the carriage to Mrs. Hill’s residence. Mr. Davis was ac companied by his daugher and Gen. Gordon, and his wife and daughter. The city is wild with enthusiasm. No other.man ever received such a reception from Geotgia people.

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.

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 iiorror struck, but lost no time in disengaging the snake from the child’s arm and dispatching him. It was thought at first the child has been bitten but no marke have as yet been found.—Gwinnett Herald , Chicago, III, April 30.—The Furniture Worker*’ Union (4,000) men parade to-morrow in honor of the emancipation of the working men. They aay they have been working for the eight hour system lor twenty year*, and are now go ing to celebrate its adoption. 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. —Savannah News.

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 bunged up. BOYCOTTING MALLORY BOATS. Macon, Ga., April 29.—z\ spe cial from St. Mary’s says: The democrats ot Camden county met yesterday and selected delegates to the state convention, and instructed them for the nomination of Hon. A. O. Bacon for Governor. If the Blair bill could be brought fairly and squarely before the House it would pass by a very comforta ble majority. The chances of its consideration are, confessedly, very slim and unpromising. The repott of the Labot Committee’s substi tute is thought to be equivalent to an annihilation of the whole measure. Pittsburg, Pa., Apr il 2S.—At Erie, Pa., yesterday, Mrs. Ephriam Lawson locked her three children in a room and went out shopping. The house took fire. Firemen res 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. Marriage of Cousins. Jacob Miller, of Fountaindale, Pa., married' his first cousin, and be tween i860 and 1864 eleven chil dren were born to them. Of these all were of unsound mind save one, a daughter, by no means bright, who is married. Eight others are alive, and five of them are idiots and the others little better. Mrs. Miller is deed, and her husband, who is a prosperous farmer, lives alone‘-with his eight unfortunate children. He says that his mixfor- tuntf is a “stroke ot Providence.” ’ i A number of new strikes were announced yesterday with varying 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. Asheville, April 2S—Yester day Richmond Pearson challenged General Johnstone Jones to a duel. Mr. Pearson is the son of the late distinguished Chief Justice Pearson, and General Jones is the Adjutant General of the state. These gen tlemen represented Buncombe county in the last legislature, dur ing which a bill was offered and passed for a stock law for this coun ty. They disagreed in regard to the measure, and Mr. Pearson publish ed lately an open letter criticising General Jones’ action, and the lat< ter replied in a like manner, and re flected on the courage of the for mer. It js not known yet wbat re ply will he sent. Excitement In Texas: Great excitement has been caused In the vicinity of Paris, Tex., by the remarkable recovery of Mr. J.E.
