WEEKLYBANENR-WATCHMAN TUESDAY A UGUST3I, 1S87;
mammm
mm
, I have thii day soldo half interest
in thd Banner-Watchman to Mr.
Pleasant A. Stovall, late of the Au
gusta Chronicle, who will devote
his entire time to the editorial de
partment of the paper. It is need
less tor me to introduce Mr. Stovall
to our patrons, for he. began his
journalistic career in Atheds, on the
Southern Banner, and the reputa
tion he has achieved renders his
name a household word in every
home that a newspaper enters. In
returning to Athens and casting his
lot among our people, Mr. Stovall
has relinquished an honorable and
lucrative position, and he relies up
on the well known liberality of oui
people to recompense him for the
change he has made. In behalf ol
the people of Athens and Northeast
Georgia, I have promised Mr. Sto
vall a generous support. I feel that
our citizens stand ready to make
good this pledge. The increasing
growth and importance of our city
demanded a better paper than 1
was able to furnish unaided, and 1
feel that thepatronsol the Banner-
Watchman, the Classic City,
Northeast Georgia and myself were
de'erving of congratulation upon se
curing the valuable services of Mr.
Stovall. Now let our puhlic-spir
ited citizens show tangible proof of
their appreciation of this step on
the part of Air. Stovall by a liberal
patronage of the Banner-Watch
man, that he may never have causi
to regret that he has cast his loi
with us. T. L. Gantt.

These things we must accept a
some of the conclusions established
by Ihe striked Surely upon this ba
sis the Knights can afford to go to
work and the managers to open
their mills, and this the more
readily when we reflect that the
strike has been entirely free from
disorder and drunkenness on one
side, and oppression or eviction on
the other.
THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR IN POL
ITICS.
There is a difference of opinion, it
seems, among Knights of Labor
whether or not they ought to take
part in politics as an organization.
There is no question, of courre,
about their duty as citizens to take
uch part in politics as will tend to
help put good men into office.
Tnis question of the organization’s
becoming a sort of political ma-
hinc, however, is one that is, if re
ports arc to be credited, exciting
onsiderablc discussion among
Knights.
It is by no means certain that the
Richmond convention, which will
neet on Oct. 4, will touch this
question. It ought, however, to
take it up and settle it finally. The
local assemblies ought to be notified
whether, in the opinion of the rep
resentatives of the entire organiza
tion, it is advisable to undertake to
orce united action in political af-
THK AUGUSTA STRIKE.

Our Augusta advices indicate
that the strike in that city is draw
ing to a close We say “strike
when it is really a “lockout,” but a:
the latter was brought on by
strike in one of the mills and by an
ticipations of strikes in others th
term is sufficiently accurate.
Both parties to the troubles art
tired. The laborers realize that tht
support given them has not beer
substantial or sufficient. Tht
weekly allowance of rations ha
been scant. -Commanding the offi
cial recognition of the Knights ol
Labor lrom the beginning, they
have seen every week how far
short these contributions are, even
though they have reached some
thing like ten thousand dollars per
month. But ten thousand dollars
cannot fill the place «f fifty thou
sand, and when the mill workers
begin to count how, long even at
an increased wage, they may
have to - work before they realize
one month’s loss they become dis
couraged indeed
The mill owners are heartily
tired of the situation. It is dead
loss to them. The factories had
just turned the bend in the cotton
goods’ trade, and although they had
piled up large losses behind, had
commenced to see their way out ot
the 'ong depression. Since last
January this industry has been
steadily improving. Just upon the
opening of the new crop, with
good season of orders ahead, this
trouble has come, breaking up their
trade, scattering their labor and
bringing upon the community
distress and an apprehension which
all the people in Augusta have
fcl:. There have been rumors of a
mill stalling up here and there, but
up to last night not a wheel had
been turned.
'Me believe that the strike will
no last ten days longer. The op
en. i ves are exhauste'd and the mill
m<i. are quite ready to go to work.
Tf t trouble may be settled by the
principle of arbitration or it may
be concluded by the stern necessi
ty > of the people. The question
miy solved by the hands going to
work when they get ready and the
mill managers giving better wages
when they can. But whether or
not a board of arbitration is called,
the strike has settled several things
just as formally as if articles for if
discontinuance had been drawn-
Thfese are:
That the operatives should real
ise the first improvements in the
trade and share fairly in its best
profits at all times.
That labor aa an organized fac
tor it inevitable—even necessary.
That high salaries should not con
tinue while low wages prevail.
That strikes are cruel and unsat
isfactory and should be discounten
anced by the labor order as bear
ing most heavily upon the strikers
themselves.
That the operatives should have
acted upon the assurance that their
wages would be advanced before
dividends were paid.
That frequent consultations be
tween presidents and employes
should be held that better
No doubt there are those in eve-
sry assembly who are anxious that
The Knights shall attempt to control
local politics, and there are men in
he organization who would like to
-ee the Knights acting in a solid
mass in State and national politics
hut all of these men aie ambitious,
md have selfish purposes in view.
They, doubtless, hope to be able to
secure political power and office
through the aid of the Knights
They do not care so much for the
welfare of the Knights of Labor or
ganization as they do to be able to
ise it to accomplish their aims.
If the Knights, by using their or
anization as a political tracnine,
could purify politics, insure the ma
ting of better laws and the election
if better men to office, they should
gointo politics by all means. But can
hey do anything of that kind? Ol
course they cannot. In the first
place they could not agree among
themselves respecting the men to be
nominated and the policies to be
adopted. The majority would have
to rule if anything were accom
plished at all, and the wiliest and
shrewdest ot the politicians among
he Knights would manage to ge
the majority to follow their lead.
If the Knights were to act togeth
er without legard to their past po
litical affiliations they would arras
the existing political organizations
■gainst them, and as they are in the
minority in most communities the)
would be unable to achieve any
success except in isolated cases.
It they should not nominate a
separate ticket, but should deter
mine to support the tick of one or
the other of the great political par
'ics, they would accomplish noth
ing in the way of reform, and
would do nothing towards securing
1 better class of men for public ser
vants. The same methods for se
curing nominations would be em
ployed then as aie employed now
snd the best wire pullers, as a rule
would get the political prizes.
The strongest reason why the
Knights should keep out ot politics
is an organization, however, is tha,
politics would introduce dissensions
imong them. There are men of a
-trong political convictions among
workingmen as among any othei
class of men, and they are not go-
n g to abandon them without ex
cellent reasons. It would not be
always possible to give satisfactory
reasons why one man should be
supported in preference to another
and, consequently, there would be
■rouble.
If the Knights are wise they will,
as an organization, let politics alone
but as individuals they will do what
they can to promote the good ol
iheir organization, of workingmen
and of the country. It would
even be advisable for them to influ
ence their members to vote against
demagogues, and others seeking
places who ate notoriously bad. It
would be a mistake, however, to
turn the organization from its le
gitimate purpose of bettering the
condition of workingmen to sup
porting the schemes and aspirations
of ambitious and designing men.—

A CHILD BRUTALLY BEATEN.
k Colored woman'! nLTreatment of a Lit
tle Seven-Year-Old oirl.
Eady Ann Houston, a colored
woman, was committed to jail yes
terday by Magistrate Molina for ill
treating a little colored girl. The
woman is employed as a servant in
a Taylor street family. The child
is about seven years old and was
placed in the woman’s care by rela
tives. The woman claims to be the
child's aunt and has had the main
tenance of her for about a year.
One day last week the litt’e one
was left in the- house alone, and ac
cording to the woman’s story stole
some bread. The woman took a
strap and stripping the child beat
her across the .back until the flesh
was cut deep and in some places
the gashes hung open. It was sev
eral days before the matter became
known.
On Saturday another aunt of the
child discovered her condition and
reported the case. The Houston
woman was arrested yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff Hunter, and was
committed to jail for trial in the
City Court. The offense, bad as it
is, is in law only a misdemeanor,
and the extreme penalty is twelve
•aonths imprisonment. The wo
man says that the child had boils
when she whipped her,and that the 1
cuts are deeper because of them.
Her admission ot this increases.tbe
brutality of the case. The child’s
name is Minnie Carteiy. Her fath
er is living, but the child has been
taken care of by relatives. The
case is a pitiable one, and the wo
man will hardly fail to receive the
punishment that she deserves.
The little girl has evidently been
illtreated all her her life. On one
cheek is an ugly looking scar made
by another aunt iu whose keeping
she was in Carolina. The woman
put her in a bag to keep her from
kicking, and tied a stocking over
her eyes, and then held coals
against her cheek until the flesh
was burned almost to the bone.—

Along the hanks of Ganargna river,
which flows through the southern portion
of Wayne county, may be seen at this
season of the year large fields of green-
colored plants about eight Inches In hlght
extending over an extensive area. To a
botanist mentha peperita is the name by
which It is known, bnt to the world in
general It is peppermint. In this compara
tively small area seven-eighths of all the
peppermint in the world is raised. The
low. mucky land. Is plowed In the spring.
It is then laid off in furrows eighteen
Inches apart, and sets, portions of old
Plants, are planted closely together In the
row. This is done early In April. The
roots are transplanted every other year.
It take* about eight square rods of roots
as they lie upon the ground to plant an
acre. The roots that are planted this
after the crop is gathered, will be trans
planted In every other row for next year’s
crop. The first year’s crop is always the
best, because the plant Is then the freest
from weeds. Usually they are allowed to
run only two yean, after which the
ground is plowed under. When the plants
have grown to about two and one-half
feet In htght they ripen.
The harvest begins usually In the last
of August. It Is cut like clover, with n
cradle, and raked into cocks, when It Is
allowed to wilt a little before It Is taken
to the distillery. The process of distilla
tion continues to the last of October. The
plant is brought from the fields In large
wagons and tightly packed In steam-
tight vats. The steam Is 1st Into the bot
tom of the vat, and the oil from the
plants thus volltallzed. The oily vapor
and steam pass through a condensing
worm Into a receiver, where the oil, be
ing lighter than water, is dipped off and is
then put In tin cans holding twenty
pounds and taken to the refinery, where

The Penalty of Position,
The pictorial treasures of the great Eng
lish houses are accessible to the public,
but I once passed through a stately castle
In which I was a stranger, and determined
never to repeat the experience, for the
housekeeper took me into rooms where
the work baskets of the ladles still Uttered
the tables; the very books they had been
reading were left unclosed, and I saw
their rustling garments leaving by one
door as I entered at another. The thought
that I had driven the family from their
own occupations or amusements marred
all the pleasure I received. It happened a
few days afterward that I was Invited
to the same house, and I' told the ladles
how guilty I felt for my Intrusion. But
they forgave me.
For the high English are very generous
about their works of art, their parks,
their mansions, their historical collec
tions. Nearly all give them up on one
day of the week to the world. They call
It a “show day;” the house Is a “show
house,” and the annoyance of the exhibi
tion must be very considerable. But they
take this as they do the publicity of all
their life, their exposure to observation
and criticism—as the penalty of their poet
tlon. They expect to be conspicuous, to
have their houses examined, their private
history known. Their lineage Is set down
In the peerage, and the age of every great
lady Is declared In the books for all the
world to read. Not a few recognize that
they have obligations because of their
rank and their grandeur. Not only are
they willing that their pictures and
statuary shall be seen, but the poor often
have a day In the week when they may
hold picnics in the park. Even the queen,
with all her love of seclusion, allows
Windsor castle to be Inspected when she
is not there, and privileged strangers may
visit her private apartments, a stretch of
good nature which not many democrats
would emulate.—Adam Badeau’s Letter.

An Agreeable Hoar, end How It Is Spent
Trial by Ordeal In Russia.
A curious survival of ordeal supersti
tion still prevails to a very large extent In
southern Russia. When a theft Is com
mitted In a household the servants sue
summoned together and a sorceress Is sent
tor. Should no confession be made by the
guilty party the sorceress rolls up os
many little balls of bread aa there are
suspected persons present. She then
takes one of these balls, and addressing
the nearest servant, uses this formula:
“If you have committed the theft the ball
will sink to the bottom of the vase, but if
you are innocent It will float on the
water.* The accuracy of this trial, how-
is seldom tested, as the guilty person in
variably confesses before his turn arrives
to undergo the ordeal.—Chambers’ Jour-
After the ladles leave the room the host
Invariably changes his place, and port,
shsrry, and darst ara placed before him.
The servants now disappear, the geests
draw np their chairs and pass the
bottle themselves, always to the left, and
many take this opportunity to select a
companion far the after dinner talk. It
may ha ungallant, bnt I. confess that I
often found this hour the most agreeable
of the day. The English men of position
an generally very wall' bred when they
an by themselves; men of them an
highly educated than la common with
Americans ol Importance; they have
passed their lives among works of art and
in the atmosphere of high politics. They
know pictures and china as well as game
and wine. They have not only eeen the
famous places, bnt met the famous peo
ple of other countries, and they make, on
the whole, the most agreeable after-din
ner company in the world. To a stranger
they an especially amiable If he is Inter
ested in English life, they tell him all he
wishes to know; they invite his criticisms,
and if they sometimes say something dis
paraging of his own countryman or of the
institutions under which he was born, it
is not in an offensive way. Aa men of the
world they offer an opinion, which yon
may accept or dispute as yon choose, and
they are not affronted if yon censure
mildly in return. They are genial over
their wine, but not quarrelsome nor in
decorous. 1
After dinner conversation and cards
form the principal amusement Some
times there is music, but not often, for
the English are not artists in tempera
ment or taite; they do not make good
music, nor, as a rule, do they keenly ap
preciate it They have a higher relish for
painting and sculpture and architecture—
something that they can see and handle.
Music Is too imaginable for thfc burly
British nature to grasp. But whist or a
round game is invariably proposed. The
stakes usually small, but no one plays
without some wager. At times the play
ers become very intent, and I can recall
Instances of gross ill-breading over the
cards; a testy old peer or astingy dowager
was commonly at fault.
In many houses the hostess rises at 11,

whole company moves out to the foot of

ladies ascends to the upper galleries, the
graceful girls In pink and white and the
sumptuous matrons in velvet and dia

A Revengeful Parrot.
I must begin by stating that I never
eared for parrots—in fact, as a child, I
distinctly feared and disliked them. One
of my earliest recollections is that of a
parrot kept by one of my aunts whom I
often visited. It seemed peaceable and
quiet enough, and had much freedom,
when it would meander gently about tne
room, neither taking notice of uor molest
ing any one. Emboldened by this con
duct, I thought I might venture to tease
poor Polly, so creeping under the table,
I very gently pulled its tall.
Deeply moved and incensed by this in
sult, Polly flaw straight at me and bit my
finger. I acknowledged the Justice of the
punishment; still, in fright and pain, I
screamed aloud, when my nurse and auut
flew to tha rescue and restored the out
raged parrot to her cage. The next day,
on being let loose, It flew straight at me,
and tried to peck my eyes out and bit my
cheeks; it never forgot or forgave the in
jury, but tried to bite me whenever it
was loose, flying at me and pecking wher
ever it could, till at last it became a sort
of nightmare and terror to ms, snd I re
pented in tears of the wrong I had com
mitted against it. Full of years snd
hatred, it at last yielded up the ghost, to

About 4 o’clock in the afternoon I heard
the charging commands given. With
many an oath at the military stupidity
which would again send good troops to
useless slaughter, I sprang to my feet and
watched the doomed Infantry. Men whom
I knew well stood rifle in hand not more
than thirty feet from me, and I am happy
to state that they continued to stand. Not
a man stirred from his place. The army
to a man refused to obey the order, pre
sumably from Gen. Grant, to renew the
assault I heard the foolish and wicked
order given and I saw it disobeyed. Many
of the enlisted men had been up to and
over the Confederate works. They had
seen their strength. Grant Meade, Han
cock, Warren, Wright Burnside, none of
them had been near the works. And if
they did not know that they could not
be taken by direct assault the enlisted
men did know it and they refused to
make a second attempt That night we
began to entrench. By daylight we had
our earthworks finished and were safe.—

Tha Process of
Leather—Operations in DstalL
Years ago tanning was done lntan-
yards not under cover, so that the men
Are Built—When the tvero exposed to the weather, however in
clement Now, rough wooden sheds arc
erected over tan vats. The time required
to make leather out of raw hides to from
four to six months. The hides come to
Salem by rail, and now spur tracks take
them to the very door ot the tannery.
Some bides from China, which your cor
respondent saw In one shop, were done np
in bundles of 120, each weighing about 12
pounds, making a handle of 1,440 pounds.
These hides measure fourteen or fifteen
feet while an ordinary American hide
covets an area of seventeen or eighteen
feet They were dried and pressed into
bandies and bound with ropes before
shipment These hides are first put into
a soak ot clear sea water, and remain six
or seven days, when the; are taken out
and put Into the lime vats filled with lime
water. There they remain from six to
ten days. They are then taken ont and
unbalred and green shaven, the hairs be
ing scraped off on one side and any parti
cles of flesh removed from the other side.
The next course to to put the hides into
the drenches and then mill them to soften
them. After heing thoroughly rinsed in
clean water, they are “put into the bark,”
that to, put into a vat where there to a
strong liquor made from bark, with
ground bark sprinkled between each
layer. Sixteen days here fit them to he be
brought out and laid away for 30 days,
after which they are split, shaved and
flattened. To split a hide does not mean
to spilt It from one side to the other, but
to take off a small piece weighing from
one to two pounds, about in the centre.
This split to eventually curried like other
leather, and to used largely for backs of
shoes. Splitting is done by machinery,
and to a very dangerous business. Every
few weeks the press records a smashed
hand or broken arm from the use of this
machine. After splitting, the hide goes
through the bark liqnor once more, re
maining this time bnt a few minutes,
whan it to again laid away for thirty days,
at the end of which time it to put into the
tan vat and remains ten or twelve days.
This to the end of the tanning process,
and whefl the hides come out of the bark
liquor this time they go into the currying
shop.
Cnrring to an entirely distinct business
from tanning, and few men who learn one
part of the business ever know anything
about the other. Tho manufacturers
mostly run only one business, although
now and then a man tans and finishes
leather both. In the large majority of
cases, one firm takes the hides into its
yards and tans them, and another firm
takes them and curries them into leather.
Not all tanners and curriers own the
hides which they put Into leather. Very
frequently they do the work for other par
ties.
Tanning leather to a very dirty and un
savory business, but probably not un
healthy, and those who have worked at
it a long time say they are not troubled
by the smells. But this seems almost in
credible to one who goes among the vats
and beam houses for the first time and
sniffs the odors from the old hides, the
fumes from the tan vats and lime holes
and the general waste and decay.—Salem

his cheerful, genial nature, and.was
a general favorite with the young
folks, Leing the life ot every
social gathering. Stoll's ante
cedents were unknown, and he had
several times said: “1 once had
.people and a country, but I have
none now.” Some weeks since a
family moved into the neghborno«3
who came . from Germany, and
ever since Stoll had been distressed
and ill at ease. The last seen of
him alive he was plowing Tuesday
afternoon. As he did not come in
to supper, a boy was sent for him
ond found his horse free from the
plow, grazing along the fence. A
search followed, and Stoll’s body
was found hanging to a trea across
-the road. He had banged himself
with a plow line. No motive is
known for the deed. The family re
ferred to waye asked, but disclaim
ed all knowledge of Stoll, though
they bad noticed that he persistent
ly avoided them.

my curiosity aroused, I accosted the pro

He said: “We gave them baths and rabbad

He Found His Heart,

cian, “a man who In the forty or fifty years
of hto hard-working but prosperous life
had never given place to a tender senti
ment Children had come to him aud
gone, and hto eyes had never been wet with
a man’s tears, but when four of hto group
of stalwart boys went away to the army
that man found hto heart. When tnese

and their affectation of jollity catnu to
shake the old man’s hand they were sur
prised to see tears running down hto
cheeks, and in many a trying ordeal (hey

Woman on tho Witness Stand.
A woman on the witness stand in a di

very dark care against her faithless lord.
Whether it to pity for him that moves her
heart or an inability to express herself
that leads to this result to hard to say.
Perhaps the two qualities are mixed, but
at any rate the female plaintiff generally
depends upon her witnesses to relate the
blackest features of her case.—Pioneer

Washington'la noted for its brainy men.
It ought to be more noted for its brainy
women. Oar national capital has more
sharp, business, money-making females in
proportion to its size than perhaps any
city in the world. Its women get better
salaries, do higher dames ot work, and are
further advanced in all the attributes of
modern civilization than those of any other
city. In the government departments
alone between 4,000 and 5,000 women are
employed, and these do the work which
two decades ago was considered only pos
sible for men. Some of these women are
translators in the state departments.
Some are examiners in the patent office,
and a large nnmber hold other positions
where the work requires a good education,
a bright intellect, and a careful judgment.
Many of them have to answer letters, in
which they must judge as to the legality
of pension cases brought before them, and
others have responsible positions in the
treasury and postoffice departments.
Women make the best clerks in many
departments of the government service.
They are more prompt in their attendance
than men, and are, as a rule, more con
scientious in doing their work. As copy
ists and amanuenses they are usually neat
and exact and as type-writers they surpass
the other sex. As counters of money and
counterfeit detectors they are far superior
to men. They can count faster than men,
and the most expert among them can tell
a bad bill by feeling it with her eyes shut.
Quite a number of women in the treasury
—and there are about 1,400 employed hero
—have bery responsible positions. One is
a law clerk in the internal revenue de
partment, and she can prepare a brief
equal to that of almost any lawyer of the
capital. In the navy department there
are women who do drafting in the draw
ing of the plants of ships, and the major
part of the dead letter office business is
done by women’s fingers.
SAL ABIES OF WOMEN CLERKS.
The highest salary received by a women
clerk in Washington is f1,800 a year, and
one of these is the law clerk of whom I
have just spoken. Less than a score re
ceive $1,600 per annum, but a larger num
ber get $1,200, and hundred? are paid
$1,000 a year. Mere copyists receive often
as low as $720, and there is a large class of
women who work by piecework, and who
do the class of labor that would be re
quired in a factory. The salaried clerks
work from 9 o'clock until 4, with a short
recess at noon for lunch. They have all
of their evenings to themselves, and never
take an? work home with them. They get
their pay regularly at the 15th and 30th
every month, and each of them
has a month’s vacation every year
with lull pay during the time. They are 1
treated politely, are free from worry, and j
the positions may be considered very \
desirable ones.
The women of the goverment printing
office are paid as a rulo by the piece or
by the day. Those on piece work make
$1.33 a day,and there are over 1,000 women
so employed. Th*y stitch pamphlets, run
numbering machines, fold and paste for
the bindery, and they do in fact nearly
every class of work done in the govern
ment printing office. Some of them set
type, and these receive 35 cents an hour,
and their av ragt salaries are $70 a month.
A large number of guides are employed at
the bureau of engraving and printing,
and these nre nearly all women. An army
of sweepers and scrubbers is employed to
clean ont the treasury department every
day, and the woman who presides over
them gets about £800 a year. These sweep
ers and scrubbers of the various depart
ments form another class of the working
women ot Washington, and connected
with them is a class who sew carpets in
the treasury for the government build
ings all over the country. Then there is
the colony of washerwomen, who wash
the thousands of towel* used in each de
partment, and the numerous women who
•upply the clerks with food in the restau
rants of these great buildings.
THOUSANDS OF BKIOHT WOMEN.
Outside of the government employ there
are thousands of "bright women who make
good livings at the national capital. The
pension and patent lawyer* employ hun
dreds as type-writers, stenographers, and
clerks, and going into the bureaus of some
these offices is like going into one of the
largest rooms of a great government de
partment The majority of the clerks of
the dry goods and notion stores of Wash
ington are women and the cashiers in
many cases are of the same sex. A nnm
ber of women own stores in Washington,
and the finest ice creams and confections
for the White House dinners for years
past have been supplied by a little old
French woman, who I am told has made
a fortune at the business.
You can count the wonlfen lawyers and
physicians of Washington upon your
fingers, but there is a number of noted
persons among the few. Belva Lockwood,
the well-known presidential candidate,
is the most noted of the lawyers, and Mrs.
Dr. Winslow, who attended Chief Justice
White during his late sickness, and who
was called in now and then to see Presi
dent Arthur, is the most noted of the doc
tors.
Washington is a great educational cen
ter and it abounds in private teachers,
female seminaries, and little schools.
These are manipulated almost wholly by
women and the teachers of the charitable
and public schools of the city, are made
np of some colored girls as well as some
white ones.
There is a class of women here engaged
in literary work, and this embraces book
writers, magazine ’writers.
The women correspondents of Washing
ton are as bright, brainy, and busy a set of
money-making ladies as you will find on
this side of the Atlantic. The yearly
profits of some of them run into ttfe thou
sands of dollars.—Frank G. Carpenter in
