IlELIVERF.il SATURDAY 7ta INST Al
ATHENS OPERA HOUSE.
Saturday morning, a committee con
sisting of Prof.White, Mr. Prince Hodg
son and Mr. Gantt, the editor of the 1 an-
ner-Watchman, learning that Judge
Speer was in the city visiting his parents,
called on him and urged his attendance
and participation in the meeting of citi
zens Saturday evening. .Judge Speer at
nice promised to attend and give his
views on the general policy of the hill.
As we promised onr readers, we here
present an epitome of what he said.
The speech of Judge Speer was de
livered in three-quarters of an hour, and
the following is merely a synopsis of the
arguments made by him:

l*ove all, ill lIk* irwir-H^od dignity apJ
mportance of its laboring classes and

tatemont is verified by experience. It
< confirmed and the technical school is
idvocated by the best thought and the
►est thinkers of the age in which we
ivo. That eminent scientist and genuine
riend ofthe man of labor. Prof. Win.
.oroy Hroun, declared to me that the
•clinical school w as pre-ominently the
•ecossity o! the day, and the best school
or the advancement of labor ever de-
ised. Senator lice. F. Hoar declared to
he legislature of Massachusetts “the
uanufacturing and mechanical classes
tavc aright to demand your aid. This
►rovision for education is not only an in
vestment promising a vast and direct
pecuniary return, hut it is also to-day a
necessity of self-preservation.” Patrick
Henry said on a notable occasion: “There
•s hut one lam** by which my feet nie
jnirieri, and* that is the lamp of experi
ence.” Now, let us test my proposition
n the light of Patrick Henry’s lamp, and
•y a modern instance. In the year 1805
a school of tlie procise plan contemplat
ed here was established at Worcester,
n Massachusetts. I'p to the year 1882
twenty-four hundred and forty-six pu
pils had received training there in the
best methods of applied mechanics, sci
entitle, thorough aim practical. Ofth?se
fourteen hundred and eighty-five came
from the *own itself and the county in
which it was situated. This is in the
n iture of tliirgs. People who are on th
spot invariably get thfc lion’s share of
the advantages of an institution there.
It is a well known fact that the District
of Columbia, although hut about to
miles square, and with a population of
about two hundred thousand, of the of
fices of the general government located
there, obtains a proportion overwhelm
ingly larger tha.i that of any state or ter
ritory. This is an illustration of what I
iay. If the Technical School should he
1 icxted in Savannah, or Macon, or -Ath
ens, thore is not a respectable' working
man in the community who could not.
in time, give his boy the magnificent ad
vantage of ari education, which, in the
present condition of our country, is like
ly to he of greater value than that which
flows from the best classical school ever
inspired by the genius of Attic or Roman
literature. The object of all education
is to exercise the faculties of the mind.
It does not matter how this is done, so it
is done. Exercising the mind is very
much like exercising the body. One
man will wield the dumb-bells or essay
t e gymnasium; another will chop wood
with an axe or take a ride between the
handles of the plow. The body is exer
cised in either case. So the subtle facul
ties of the mind may be as well exer
cised by learning under proper and judi
cious teachers a useful trade, as by a
grubbing after Greek roots, er translat
ing knotty Latin, or cramming all the
ologies that ever puzzled the student or
pleased the professor. The proof of this
statement is on every hand. A skilled
mechanic is exceedingly apt to be an in
telligent man, with quick perceptions,
sound judgment and a fund of useful in
formation If, in addition to the mental
exorcise had while learning his trade,
he enjoyed the advantages ol an English
education, he is usually one o( the first
citizens in the community, with a lively
interest in public affairs, capable of giv-
ng expression to sensible and patriotic
thjughts, and a tower of stren jth to
ither working nken not so fortunate as
he. 1 his is true of colored men as well
as of white men.* With rare exceptions,
the men of color who possess and wielp
a legitimate and useful influence with
h ir race are mqp who have learned me-
cuanical trades—blacksmiths, carpenters,
shoemakers and similar handicraftsmen.
Solid and substantial citizens are they,
and they receive and deserve the re
spect of their fellow-citizens of th«* white
race. All Southern men will remembe
that in the days of slavery the fnost in
telligent of the plantation force, with the
largest influence among their own color,
were the blacksmith and the carpenter.
Why is this? Why, simply because the
faculties of toeir minds have b*cn exer
cised in the act of learning their trades.
This is education. If it had gone further
it would have been better education, but
it is good as far as it goes. Fourteen
years ago, when I was twenty-two years
old. on this same general subject, 1 ad
dressed an audience in the college chapel
at commencement. I find what I then said
reported in the Southern Watchman of
that day:
“The itate should educate the people
to increase its agricultural and mechani
cal productive power. The increase of
productive power is a problem of the
most gigantic importance to the states
man ami philanthropist, and becomes
more important as population incroases.
In the first place, an intelligent man can
do more work than an ignorant man. And
again, intelligent minds are more inven
tive than ignorant minds and will there
fore invent labor-saving machines, and
thus augment the producing power.
H >race Mann gives this interesting fact:
“Those operatives in factories who can
sign their weekly receipts for money, can
do a third more work, and do it better
than those who make their mark.” A
writer on this subject gives this instance:
“A gentleman of my acquaintance.” su’d
he, “had frequent need of a carpenter.
The work to he done was not regular,
carpentry, hut various odd jobs, altera
tions and adaptations to suit special wants
and no little time and material were was
ted in the mistakes of successive persons
employed. At length a workman was
sent who was a German, from the king
dom of Prussia. After listening atten
tively to the orders given, and doing what
he could to understand what his employ
er wanted, Michael would whip out his
pencil and in two or three minutes with
a few rapid lines world present a sketch
of the article so clear that any one could
recognize it at a glance. It could he seen
at once whether the intention of the em
ployer had been rightly conceived and
whetherjt was practicable. The conse
quence was that so jlong'as Michael was
employed there was no more waste of ma
terials and time, no more vexatious fail
ures. Michael was no more skillful as a
workman than many others who had pre
ceded him, hut his knowledge of drawing
gained from the system of public instruc
tion in Prussia made his services wor*h
fr.om fifty cents to a dollar a day more
than those of his fellaw workmen.”
What is true of drawing, is true of every
other branch of scientific education. In
crease intelligence and you multiply in
vention The cotton gin, the sewing ma
chine, the steam engine, would never
have been invented by ignorant mechan
ics. If the steam engine aloqe were to
stop working to-<lay thousands would
starve to death in the populous ci f ies of
the world before help could he afforded.
The steam power of Great Britain alone
equals the laboring power of four hun
tired millions of men. Steam power
through the world equals the working
power by manual labor af four
worlds like ours. Commerce, agricul
ture, warfare, the mechanic arts, hav
undergone aeomplete revolution becaus
of an invention not a century old, and
this the work of an'educated mechanic.
Almost every industrial pursuit is de
pendent upon science. Chemistry is do
ing for agriculture what steam has done
for mechanics. The ftirmer doubles his
crop by applying a knowfedge of chemis
try to the soil. We absolutely fatten
cattle on scientific principles. The phys
iologist has proven that to produce ani
mal heat necessitates a waste of suli
stance and the fanner now keeps his cat
tle warm an<f saves his fodder. If gov
ornin*mt will diffuse knowledge among
the people it pours into their a cornicopia
of substantial blessings. It feeds the
hungry, it clothes the naked and shelters
the houseless and thereby accomplishes
some of the great objects for which it
was designed.”
In the light of the history of educa
tional advancement since then, these
youthful utterances are doubly true, hut
they were well known to be true at
that time. Napoleon had said that the
Polytechnic School of Paris was “the
goose that had laid him golden eggs
File skill there taught had ’carried hi
troops over mountains; it had seamed
France with canals; it had built the basins
and break-waters of Cherbourg and con
structed other huge artificial harbors
it had bridged the torrent of the rushing
Danube, if the historian, Allison, is wor
thy of credit, in the short space of ten
minutes. Germany, by the skill of her
artisan trained in her Technical Schools,
is underselling Birmingham and Man
Chester in the staple products of those
great hives of industry, and the small
town of Chemitz, in Saxony, with three
Technical Schools in its midst, exports
larger values to this country than cities
twenty times its size. Intelligence and
skill are becoming every year larger fac
tors in manufacturing pursuits. One
small town in Vermont which has ex
pended not m.:cU abort of % half a mil
lion of dollars in educational advantages
for its citizens, although it has bat six
thousand inhabitants, and although
is one huodred and fifty miles from tide
water, and must bring every ounce
iron and coal that it uses more than
hundred miles by rail, successfully com
petes with sixty other firms in the Uni
ted States engaged in the same business,
and sells one-third more of the product
than they do.
Not o^ly does the Technical School
increase the wealth of communities, but
it produces men of conspicuous fame and
celebrity. Roebling, the architect of the
great railway bridge at Niagara, and the
builder of that marvellous structure
which pierces the heavens and spans the
arm of the sea at New York, is a grad
uate of the Polytechnic School at Berlin,
The times demand meu of this training.
They must be had. The development
of our rivers and harbors, the water sup
•ply of cities: the construction of health
ful and comfortable homes for. the peo
ple, upon scientific principles; the devel
opments of steam, electricity, magnet
ism, as applied to machinery, make the
trained mechanic—a professional man of
GospeJ. These facts are • undeniable.
What is theii logic? These men will be
had; and if America does not
furnish them,' Europe wiil. If the South
does not furnish them the North will,
and our children will be supplanted.
Talk of protection te American indus
try! I am a protectionist out and out,
but there is no protection equal to the
protection that a scientific technic
training will give to the American boy.
Talk of the dignity of labor. What will
dignify labor more than to make it one
ofthe learned professions. Give labor
its university. I.aw, literature, medi
cine, theology, all have their universi
ties. Where is the university of labor?
Here it is in the Technical School. The
Germans understand the dignity of la
bor. The Princes of the Imperial house
the sons of Emperor William have learn
ed their trades. Tne Crown Prince him
self is, if I mist ike not, a jeweler, and
another of the princes a shoemaker.
Nothing will so elevate labor and the
condition of the laboring classes as in
dustrial education widely ditTused.
The accumulation of wealth is r source
of weakness, instead of national strength,
unless in a corresponding degree the
comfort and advancement of the laboring
classes is attained. May I not appro
priate the true and beautiful verse3 of
Goldsmith:
‘III farus tn« land, lohaMcnin? ll’a a prey,
►Vhere w*altn accumulates and men decay,
i’riuces and lord* may D jurish or mar (±de.
A brcu'.ti may mate tbsui a* a.ure&th h-ts made;
But a tMid, peasantry, their country * pride,
; W btsu oncedest-'orud cau never l*a supplied ”
Educated mechanics will give wise,
rudent, patriotic and statesmanlike di
ction to those powerful labor oiganiza-
lions which under such directions may
accomplish so much lasting good, and in
absence may work so injuriously to
the common welfare. No body of men,
however earnest, can reach great and
ults, without that true leadership
hich springs from trained and disciplm-
ntellect.
A ou, my friends, whom I address may
not directly erjoy the advantages of these
lustrial schools which the advance-
-*i>t of labor and the increased dignity
labor have made the necessity of civi
lization. hut you will enjoy them in the
ippincss of your children in their in
creased prosperity, in their improved in-
llectuality, in all that tends to make
fe useful, in all that tends to make life
happy. I firmly believe that in the in
dustrial schoal is found the solution of
cry serious problem, which perplexes
American statesmanship, and the dis-
rsion of every cloud that hangs over
future of the laboring classes of this
untry. I congratulate you on the pros-
erity of your community an I rnv dear
Id home. I congratulate you with all
my heart upon the evidence of thrift and
prosperity I see on every hand. 1 would
notiflcould mislead you oti any public

thee, < >! Jcrusaelein, may my right hand
rget its .cunning, and my tongue cleave
the roof of inv mouth.” Nor have 1
any motive, present or prospective, per
sonal to myself, in this advice. My line
life is taken, and happily taken, and
ill never be changed of my own voli
tion. I have spoken solely to give my
humble contribution for the advance

Augusta, Gah Aug. 10.—A reporter
hastened to the factories to scy? nn«l talk
to the operatives as they came from
their work after the mills had closed
down for an indefinite period. Arriving
a little ahead oltime we talked to a num
ber who had . gathered around the
Knights of Labor hall, n..d learned on
inquiry, that nearly half of the opera
tives had been dismissed at noon.
“What is the situation?” asked the re
porter of an operative standing by. •
“The situation isply . tips; We ai&
shut-out and we would rather go this
way than Str&e. We will stand by tl o
Augusta Factory and be guided by their
action. If they go to work we wi^l. if
they stick out until they get the ad

“What n^ill you do during the shut

“A large number of operatives, espe
cially ofthe King and Sibie Anills, have
relatives living in the country and they
will go to them. A number of the men
have already made arrangements and
will go to work on railroads. We ain’t
going to starve, that’s one thing you
can put down as certain.”
“How about the women:” asked the
eporter.
“They need rest l adly and they .are
glad to get it. 1 just bet the women
will he true. They are more determin
ed than the men.”
About this time the

anil the operatives from t e mills pour

not noisy. Smiles of satisfaction gleam
ed over their countenances as they talk
ed, and hurriedly walked to their homes
to get ready' to attend the meeting ol
the Knights of Labor, which was to be
held ot 7:1X).
The reporter stopped a few with whom
he was well acquainted, and they alt saiii
about the same. One said: "1 am out
of a job. The mills have shut down, but
ex pect we will all live."

An hour before lee time fur the meet-
tig the large hall of the Knights of La
bor was densely packed, and before the
hour of meet’iig, hundreds were unable
to gain admittance. The visiting Master
Workmen address -d the assembly.
The meeting, of course, was private,
but the ODcrativcs who arc locked out
were counselled to he law-abiding and
orderly, and they wire advised to follow
tbe good example of the strikers of the
Augusta factory, who have be-n out
nearly a month, anil not a single viola

ATHENS NOTES.
Athens is rapidly building up. Xew
houses can be seen on every street and
most of them are tasty dwelling houses,
be city is making substantial progress
very direction, and^is rapidly sccur-
all the conveniences which are com
mon to larger places. .Several cotton fac
tories. two cotton compresses, gas works,
ice factory, a good system of water
works, an iron foundry, the free school
system and tlie State University, arc all
operating 10 build up the city. Amongst
its dry goods merchants, the Mullanc
Company heads the list, with an immense
stock of goods anil a splendid trade. All
the merchants seem to be prosperous,
and have high hopes of tlie advantages
to be derived from the Macon anil Athens
railroad, which will probably be com
pleted by Christinas, The business men
of the city expect lo build a road to El-
berton and tl is will complete their rail
road tacilities. If the Augusta and Chat
tanooga is built, such tempting offers will
be made that it is believed will secure
that road also. Altogether, Athens is
very happily situated and may well be
hopeful of its future.—Washington

The Chronicle approached the
mill Presidents in their offices, and
although each one acknowledged
that a shutdown would be tried un
less the hands returned to their
places at the Augusta Mill. The
Chronicle was referred to Mr. Cha«.
G. Goodrich, Secretary of the
Southern Manufacturers’ Associa
tion. for further particulars.
Mr. Goodrich said that the pdlicy
hail been adopted by the mill men
m meeting Friday evening. It'was
orced upon them lor self protec-

ent mills felt that each one was aid
ing in sustaining the strikers in the
Augusta Factory, and concluded to
make a square issue here and now.
1’he operatives were offered a
.'ha to relit'n to work, an I now
had an opportuni'y to do so. It
was to he hoped that a shut-down

TO PUOT83T THK MILLS.
It is understood that at a meeting of
the Knights last ni<;ht a committee was
appointed to look after the mill property
and see that no one attempted to injure
any property mills.
Washington, Aug. 9.—Secre—
tavy Bayard, when asked whether
there were any new developments
in the Cutting esse, replied that
fhere were absolutely none.
“It is not time yet for us to hear
anything definite, and I suppose
that what comes as newspaper re
ports of the proceedings of the trial
are not very accurate.”
m “Do you believe that President
s pOiaz is likely to pardon Cutting,”
was asked.
“I do not know, but should not
be surprised if it were true. That
does not enter into the -question,
however. It makes no difference
whether he is pardoned or not. It
*cems to me that the statement of
the case as made by some of the
newspapers is far from correct.,The
whole point in the affair is that the
United States has court s for the
trial of its citizen*, and we cannot
tolerate such a thing as the. trial on
foreign soil, by foreign courts, of
American citizens for • offenses, or
alleged offenses, committed in the
United States. We might as well
not have any government if we are
to suffer anything of the kind. It
does not enter into the case at the
present stage to inquire whether
V. titling was a turbulent citizen or
not, orwhether he has committed
a crime. The whole point is that
this country is entirely able to deal
with its own citizens.”
El Paso, Tex., Aug. g.—Excite—
J ment over the Cutting -imbroglio is
