Are we to have a labor party in Georgia? East Athens seems to be one of the suburban towns of the county. The Macon Telegraph believes that Blaine’s victory is assured, now that young Jim has married an Ohio girl. Lovers of Atlanta and Augusta will be surprised to hear that they are centers of pestilence and com munism. . The Madisonian believes with Rev Simon Peter Richardson, that earthquake religion amounts to very little. . What Augusta wants is a “Pied mont escapement” from earth quakes.

Xorlr 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 ganized the campaign which elected Bknj. H.

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 Banner-Watchman is not to compete at present with the larger city dailies which reach us at one o’clock, but to furnish our readers in Athens and along the Georgia and North-Eastern railroads with a and | • _ promoted him to the senate.

It organized the movement which city, neighborhood and state news, and the telegraphic market reports, which they need at the start ol the day’s business. We are willing tor the public to be the judge, how far we realize this attempt. 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 ens has made excellent progress in the full development ot the city. Our interview with Mr. W. D Grikfeth brings out some prom ising points and makes some excel lent suggestions. The real estate interest is, alter all, the rock bottom of all business and the basis of all wealth. S. senate for the short term, and it led the contest just closed which placed one of its own citizens Hon. H. H. Carlton, into the congres sional nomination. 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 made up of into ( xicanta and sold in the guise of medicine to evade the prohibition law. He says each’ case must be governed by the cir cumstances surrounding it Where the tonic is sold as a beverage and drank as such, and men became intoxicated from ,t» use, manufactu- rere are to be regarded as rectifiers, 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.” A BUSINESS MESSAO& VAthens merchants report bright * r * confidence is moie reslored killed recently within hp u. .. ^. . which hit every dog in comae twit b.

Efforts of operators to make money scarce and to run up rates ol interest du ring tlie Southern crop movements have signally failed. Goods are cheap and plentiful. Southein cotton mills have commenced to clear the period of depression and spiuners are hopeful—more so than they have been for five years. This suppoits the favorable out look for Athens for the years busi ness. The better feeling which pervades the country has fastened upon Athens. The crops, the rail road outlook, the financial situation are all in our favor. It gives us pleasure to print these things for proper encouragement. There is no rainbow glow about it—no mar gin for imprudedee or inflation. But the season opens propitiously for legitimate trade and the busi ness conducted upon principles of energy and economy has much to felicitate itself upon. the Is it true, as intimated on streets ot Athens, that the colored workingmen propose to antagonize the white workingmen by a candi date of their own? Word has gone forth from the colored element that they were not consulted in the nomination of the Knights of La bor candidate, and that they will present one of their own. When factions or special interests enter politics candidates may beexpected 'to multiply. In a multitude of can didates there is confusion. CLARKE COUNTY CONTEST.

Mr. Lay had noticed the unusual symptoms of the dog a few days before it left home and tried to get something down its throat, as he thought, for distem per. In each esse, the dog’s tongue was swolen and black. Yesterday, on the plantation of Capt. T. C. Williams, near Mul berry Station, fire destroyed the house occupied by Mr. William Beanland and family, consisting of himself, wife, three children and Mr. B’s brother and John Coker, who lived with them. They were all from home at work in the field, and knew nothingot the misfortune awaiting them till apprised of,it by some one who saw it and ran to give the alarm. This poor family lost everything in the way ol bed ding. furniture, clothing and provis ions they had, except what they had on. They say that no fire was lelt in the house that morning, and the work must have been done by an incendiary. A petition for aid was circulated in our midst, and help promptly given to this unfor tunate family. On the first of January, the dis trict nearest to us in Walton county will adopt “no fence,” which wiil make Jug Tavern virtually a “no fence” town. Our citizens are pre paring for it in good faith. W. ELBERT COUNTY. [The G.'.ieUe.] One good indication for another year is that many of speak of sowing lat the farmers large crops of small grain. We learn that there was a p ot D traded meeting in the town ielsville recently, at which every man in town, except two, who was not already a member, joined the church. If they all live up to their duty, this ought to be a happy com munity. Several bales of new cotton were sold here last week. - As the crop is opening very fast the receipts will increase rapidly from this tiofe Wc learn that Athens is strongly in favor of a railroad from that place to Elberton, and that Hon. Jas. M. Smith proposes to build seven miles of it himself. We learn that a little daughter ot Mr. Harrison Teasley, who lives in Hart county, near the line of this county, fell out of a swing at school on Thursday last and broke her neck, which cau ed her death al most ins";.ntly. The little girl was about ten y:\irs of age. A good many of the colored peo ple are satisfied that if the artesian wells had not been bored there would have been no earthquake. They are just as well satisfied with their theory as many of the scien tists are with their’s. t JACKSON COUNTY. OCONEE COUNTY. Tbo News From Our Neighbor--The Crops Ana the Candidates. Elders, Sept 16.—[Special.]— A fine rain fell on the 14th and 15th inst. A light shaking of the ground has been felt at times since the heavy shake-up on the 31st ult. The surveying corps are still at work on the M. & A. road via Sa lem. Cotton has begun to start for market. The crop is one-fourth short. Our low lands that failed to make a corn crop have a very fine crop of hay, but it is a difficult matter to save it owing to the corn beds which cannot run the manure on it. Mr. C. W.

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 hen and C. W. Baldwin! 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. his speeches. 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 publican is the party «.f temperance ideas, he exposed the inconsistency, sophistry and malice of the Prohi bitionists in a merciless matter There is no mistaking Mr. Blaine’s language. His shots hit the center ol the target every time.” Blain^ seems to have killed pr drugged Prohibition as a political factor in Maine. sue on me, and I will quote his own words, which I can substantiate by Mr. W.

Heex- claimed “There sits the man that helped to redeem Clarke county, look at him, there he sits!” He then produced a newspaper read- ing my name among the list on the Executive committee in the pro hibition contest. I asked him if he was not also on that committee. He answered “no! I had nothing to do with it.” Now, I will sav t > the people of my Aounty that I was a prohibi tionist because I thougiit I was right. I am one to day because I know I am right, and while I do not propose to insist on this issue being lugged into this campaign or into politics anywhere or inytime, I wiil say that I have no regrets to n-ake that I served on that Executive committee, and never expect to have any.

The moral lrom the Augusta- Atlanta controversy is that Athens is the best place for business am’ permanent residence. There are no grinding earthquakes, no strikes, no Whitehall street crossings and and dealers I e/aPty. stores from temperance license ““st P»y retail liquor freaks. Athens presents the golden mean. The politics! campaign has open ed by Edmunds and Blaine each carrying his own state. This starts the Presidential contest. Blaine we all know, He is bold, brilliant, unscrupulous. Edmunds, nobody knows. He is cold, exclusive, intel- lectual. But Edmunds has the reputation of having the same sort of granitic stuff in his character that his native hills are made of. Tire independent break has start* ed in Jackson county. We look to our solid neighbor to triumphantly elect to the legislature ter excellent democratic nominees. Jackson county cannot afford to be ran’over by bolters and diaorganizers.
