tion for the legislature. There ore
a few counties in the state where
such nominations are below par,
and Clarke seems to be one of them.
Candidates for state and county-
officers not only do not seek this
nomination at the hands of the
party, but would not accept it if
tendered. They fear it would alien
ate from them the independent
white element and the colored
voters, leaving the nominee in a
fatal minority. So that instead of
being a guarantee of election, a
democratic nomination would be a
decided handicap.
This state of affairs leaves poli
tics in a terrible fix. A candidate
must submit to the odious fea
tures of a scrub race. Whatever
his character or his instincts, if he
would be victorious he must resort
to a full purse and other aids. He
must corral his voters one way or
another, and hold them,
and he must secure office
by means which his own feelings
must rebel against. This, we say,
is the position in which a neglect of
party organization has left the poli
tics in this county,and into which it
will force the man who offers for
public station.
This is mortifying and deplora
ble. Clarke county is in a frightful
fix. Its local politics are a reproach
and a disgrace. We hesitate to say
it; but it is true. To say that the
democratic party is not strong
enough to choose its own local offi
cers is to utter an anomaly. No
paity in this state has had a more
glorious record since the war. It
was one of the first to wrest poli
tics from black domination and put
one of its own sous into the legis
lature and Rcet him there. It or

past week we have had an extra e ds buyers m
force engaged upon the type pnd 8in * '
make-up of the paper. The old S
type m the printing room has been
cleaned up and re-arranged and
several hundred pounds of new type
have been ordered from Northern
foundries. The interior of the paper
has been remodeled, and this work
will continue on the cases and
presses of the Banner-Watchman
until its appearance shall be mate
rially improved.
The telegraphic service ha* been
increased and will be extended from
time to time. We are making ar
rangements now for a more elabo
rate Atlanta service especially, and
shall postpone our hours for press
far into the night to get the later
news. We have arranged for full
telegraphic 'cotton reports and
daily and weekly review, so soon
as business fully opens, and have
been otfered the Chicago meat and
grain future markets, should our
merchants assure us of their desire
to have them and of their willing
ness to support us in this additional
outlay.
Of course, these things require
time and money. We do not ob
ject to giving the one or expending
the other, if we are confident of
public appreciation and patronage,
and this, as we have already inti
mated, are beginning to come to us.
The design ol the publishers of the

race for the Legislature in
Clarke county looks somewhat
more complicated than usual. The
primary election may he appealed
to after all, in coming contests, if it
is even too late in this.
What the people along the line
of the new Elberton Railroad are
asked to do is to give the right of
way in a free and unincumbered
manner. This will be the best pos-
sible impetus to the proposed route.
John Tyler, a son of the ex-
Presidenl, has been given a lucra
tive place in the General Land Of
fice. Tyler was a great Blaine
man in Virginia. This is more than
civil, it is complimentary service.
The party in Clarke county just
now does not se cm to be in any
humor lor a primary for the Legis-
lature. There are three candidates,
but time is short and the bridles are
believed to be thrown off to stay.
This is unfortunate perhaps, but it
cannot be helped.
It is reported in Atlanta that the
prohibitionists have agreed upon
the following ticket to represent
Fulton county in the next legisla
ture: T. P. Westmoreland,
Henry Hillyer and Frank P
Rice all’ of them prohibitionists of
the most extreme views.
Editor Si Hawkins is a candi
date lor the Legislature in Newton
county in the primary which comes
off Sept. 25th. He is an able writer
and an honest man, and we hope
the voters of his county will show
their recognition of his personal
qualities and their appreciation of
his faithful services.
The real estate bnsiness in Ath

led the contest just closed which
placed one of its own citizens Hon.
H. H. Carlton, into the congres

With the position Clarke county
has held in the councils of the par
ty and with the position she still
holds, we cannot afford longer to
let this matter go by default. If
Clarke is not a Democratic coutity,
the State and the District will know
it and will dispute our prominence
in party affairs. If Clarke cannot
send a member to the General As
sembly with the Democratic nomi
nation what business has she in
naming democratic candidates for
Senators, Governors and Congress
men?
This position is as absurd as is
the statement that she cannot elect
her nominees to the House. She
can elect them. The party must be
organized. We trust this is the
last scrub race we shall see in
Clarke. We believe the candi
dates and the voters themselves are
tired of such contests. Instead of
being the affair of two or three
or three men, the election of a rep
resentative is the affair of us all.
The party in Clarke county cannot
afford to have its prestige destroyed
or its authority overridden. It is
the last vestige of independentism
here and it should be swept awav.
There is a little war goiog on be
tween Augusta and Atlanta, which
is engaged in by their morning pa
pers. The Constitution intimated
that Augusta was as badly crippled
by her factory strike as was Charles
ton by the earthquake. The Chron
icle denies this and declares that
Augusta is not near at much injur
ed by labor troubles as Atlanta is
by prohibition. Neither one is per
mxnently hurt, in our opinion.
Without any desire to boast, but
rather with a feeling of profound
satisfaction, we note that our sub
scription list is daily increasing.
New annual subscribers are com
ing in from Athens and vicinity
and the number of those who are
taking the paper by the fortnight
and month is growing. We are
not being overwhelmed with public
favor for there is nothing sensf-
tional about the proprietors or the
paper, but a steady stream of ap
preciation has set in and we hope
it will continue.
United States Collector of Inter-
Revenue Crenshaw, has issued
a letter of instruction to his depu
ties in the matter of taxes upon
tonics, medicines, etc., principally

prohibition law. He says each’
case must be governed by the cir
cumstances surrounding it Where
the tonic is sold as a beverage and

The Nfew York Financial Chron
icle confesses that no definite idea
of the growing crop can be obtain
ed. Cotton has pulled through
heavy rains, but in what shape as
to fruitage cannot be yet ascertain
ed. The Chronicle cannot think
that Carolina and Georgia will pro
duce as large crops as last year.
There states made quite a satisfac
tory return in 1SS5. This year’s
maturity is late. It is not so back
ward as 1SS4, but much slower in
maturing than last year. On 1st
Sept. Augusta had received but 57
bales, against last year 1,034. At
lanta had received none, against 163
last year. Savannah had received
four thousand, against six thousand
last year. Macon 247, against 462
last year. Columbus 300, against
44S last year. Athens, being higher
up, shows a late opening for both
years.
FIGHTING THE KNIGHTS.
The tanners in New England
have waged war on the Knights
ot Labor. They will lock out
eight thousand operatives October
is_t, and keep them out until the
men are ready to abandon labor or
ganization.
This is all wrong. Employers
have no right to say t lat their hands
shall not belong to trades unions or
to labor societies. Such action is
unjust and tyrannical. This is as
senseless as a strike and must turn
out as barren of results. Labor
organizations cannot be broken up
and should not be. As long as
men are allowed to combine in
corporations for manufactuaing or
for business purposes, the same
right must be granted laboring
men to combine lor protection and
improvement. We sec more good
likely to result in strict organiza
tion of workingmen than in scatter
ed bands and the discord of isolat
ed intererests. Labor united can
always be treated with; dissevered,
it will always be a vexatious ele
ment. Labor intelligently led be
comes a power lor good; labor
blind and broken can never be
managed or reasoned with to ad
vantage. The Knights of Labor
have learned wise lessons in recent
contests, but the fruit of all this
will be lost if the order is disband
ed. Organized capital and organ
ized labor must stand. The world
views the action of the New Eng
land tanners with as much suspi
cion as it regards the strike of the
New York tobacco rollers. It is,
a Norther authority wisely says
only another attempt to settle »he
labor problem" by ‘ indecisive and
costly war.”

HITTING PROHIBITION.
The New York Financial Chron
icle says, it a great satisfaction to
know that our cotton mills are at
work and that they are beginning
in a small way to make money. A
year ago the surplus of fine and
coarse goods was general. Now
the market is steadily absorbing
the increased production, and val
ues have so far been improved as to
turn the result in favor of a small
profit to the spinner. And jet
there are millsjin good working con
dition, which have not earned a
dividend of even two per cent in
»ny six months of the last three -
ye«rs, showing that the margin for
profit is still a naarow one. The
danger to the manufacturer now is
in pushing the advantage too faT.
The people of Athens certainly
owe the committee which has just
returned from Elberton a debt of
gratitude. Upon the very mention
oflhis meeting, four enterprising
citizens were found ready, in spite
of the opening of the busy season,
to go over and represent Athens in
this new enterprise. This sort of
thing builds up a town by promptly
•ecuring the best advantages. All
honor to such men as E. R. Hodg
son, A. H. Hodgson, Julius Co

The prohibition defeat in Maine
last week was a blow to the mem
bers of that party who believed
that the temperance element would
form the third party in the next Na
tion contest The anti-saloon Con
vention which has since met and
put forth its principles, has not ma
terially advanced the interests of
the reform movement.
The Maine victory was won on
Mr. Blaine’s platform which was
pronounced time and again by him
from the hustings. We have not
Mr. Blaine’s words before us, but
we are willing to accept the con
struction of one of his organs upos.

The Chicago Tribune was swift
to note that “the absurd statements
vhich have been going the rounds
that Mr. Blaine would come out
in support of prohibition were ef
fectually set at rest by his Lake Se-
bago speech, which opened the
campaign in Maine. Standing
upon the broad ground that the Re

then produced a newspaper read-
ing my name among the list on
the Executive committee in the pro

was not also on that committee.
He answered “no! I had nothing to
