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. ANNOUNCEMENT. The undersigned will be associa ted in the publication of the Daily and Weekly Banner-Watchman The paper will be devoted to thr interests ot Athens and of North- East Georgia, and will as far as pos sible reach tho people of the Eighth and Ninth Congressiona Districts. The editors and propri etors of this journal must rely upor the cordial and united support ct the city of Athens and vicinity They must point to their own rec ords which may be known to most ol the readers of the Banner Watchman as an assurance ol what their policy will be. They must allow the couruse of theirpaper to disclose its own promises and to fulfill them. The public may judge from a daily performance of duty what our platform of principle is. They must realize lrom the fidelity with which we labor for the inter *V^ts of this community and for the good of this people, how deep i> our devotion to progress and to truth, and how good is our title to the journal which we control. A we shall tndeavor to deserve theii confidence,we hope that the public will continue their support. T. L. Gantt, Pleasant A Stovall 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. ft gffc not» vices 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.— Savannah News. 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.— Savannah News. » je Mother's Friend'.

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 t is refined and pnt into twenty-one ounce bottles in a case, labeled and shipped to all parts of the civilized world.—Cor. Buf falo Express. 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. MEXICO’S INTERIOR. AN ANCIENT SALEM INDUSTRY. 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, and this the ladies know is their signal. Good nights are exchanged, everybody shakes hands, seltzer and brandy and sherry are bronght in for those who wish them, and the gentlemen light the bed room candles for the ladles. Then the whole company moves out to the foot of the great staircase, and the procession of ladies ascends to the upper galleries, the graceful girls In pink and white and the sumptuous matrons in velvet and dia monds, each carrying her candle, while the portraits ot vanished ancestors look down on the scene where they, toe, once played a brilliant park The men linger for a while, but are soon invited to the smoking room. For this they usually change their dress. When I first went to England only a few Wore smoking lockets, but latterly In many houses the men came down toward mid night in georgeous satin suits, with varie gated trousers and cape, and the effect Is very picturesque.—Adam Badean’t Let ter. 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.

According to a corres pondent the municipal authorities, who enjoy a local autonomy, have for years saved the expanse of burglar-proof jails by hamstringing their malefactors and teaching them to earn a living by some sedentary occupation.

A machine for working the ramie plant has just been completed In Pittsburg which is pronounced a success.

Dr. Morell Mackenzie, in his last book, “The Hygiene of the Vocal Organs,” tells ns that the speaking voice usually begins to lose power and volume at between 50 and DO years ofsge. There to a curious corroboration of Dr. Mackenzie in Mr. John Bright’s collected speeches; for in the course of his great speech delivered in the rotunda at Dublin on Nov. S, 1880, when Mr. Bright was 55 years old, he said: “I am very sorry that my voice to not what it was; and when I think of the work that to to be done, sometimes 1 feel it to a pity we grow old so fast.” A South African Bdg.

Then as the day wore away and the troops were well in hand again, I saw staff officers ride along the lines, which were generally under the shelter of crests of hills, and then I saw the regimental commanders getting their men into line.

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.

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 (Mass.)

Once Be Had Friends, Bnt How He Has Hone. Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 26.— A mysterious suicide occurred in Franklin county, Tenn.. five miles west of "Winchester. Eddie Stoll, an industrious German farm hand employ ed on the farm of Mr. Jo seph Morris, was well known tor 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.

Passing by a Turkish bath-room at a late hour the other night I noticed two half-drunken men going in to take bathe. Returning the same way sometimes later I saw there two men coming out appar ently sober snd fresh looking. Having my curiosity aroused, I accosted the pro prietor as to what he had done for them. He said: “We gave them baths and rabbad them down In the regular way.

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 Cleveland leader. (Ms, Nickerson & jj Wholesale and Retail Dealers in Iron, Steel, Nails, Gins, Pistols.
