“Hello!” said a well-known voice over
the telephone. “Does the Banner-
W atchm an want to take a ride out to the
fair grounds to see the horses trot and
look at the improvements?”
“Don’t care if we do,” answered the
B.-W n and soon we were speeding up
Prince avenue. The air was cool and
bracing and everything had a business
like appearance. Entering the gate at
the fair ground we noticed evidence of
improvement going on in every part of
the enclosure. The trees are being
trimmed up, stumps taken out and the
weeds cut All around. Down near the
stables another well is being dug and the
visitors need have no fear about having
plenty of good, fresh water all the time.
A large number of stalls will be put up
in a few days to accommodate those al
ready booked for the occasion. Chuck
Anderson, from Marietta, the greatest
trotting horse man in the South, will be
here with a stable of trotting and racing
horses, headed by Miss Cauley, who was
at our last fair, and would have carried
off the first prize if the track had been in
good condition. Joe Bland, of N ashville,
will also be on hand with a large number
of trotters and runners. Other horse
men from Kentucky and Tennessee have
asked for stalls, besides quite a number
from Georgia Athens will not ho be
hind and will show some horses on the
track that will be hard to down. After
taking a tour through the grounds we
visited the stable where Billy Downing, a
celebrated Kentucky horse-trainer has
Mr. Holman’s horses in charge. Mr.
Downing has driven some of the fastest
animal* in the North and West, and
knows exactly what a trotting horse can
stand to get him in good condition. He
has all the stalls nicely kept and one of
them is fitted up in fantastic style, with

ter for Receiver. Everybody knows and
esteems Skiff the jeweler, while Mr. Car

doubtless fill the office with entire satis
faction.
The Elberton Road.—Mr. C. E.
Smith, of Washington, who has taken
great interest in the railroad situation of
this section, says there is no doubt
about Athens getting the road extend
ing through Elberton, and he would not
he surprised if that line gets here even
before the Macon & Athens.
The Knights Indignant.—It is s*»id
that only seven white Knights of Labor
supported Mr. Russell. It was reported
on the streets yesterday that some un
kind comments were made on their ac
tion, and there were threats of frith-
ilrawing from the lodge and establishing
a new one under another charter.
Another Precinct.—The next session
of tl|e Georgia legislature will be asked
to establish another voting precinct in
Athens than at the Qourt-house, owing to
the inconvenience of the business men
getting to it, and the great expense on
candidates to hire carriages. The Pioneer
hail will probably be the place selected.

Watchman yesterday that anch a policy

than give low rates to Madison when the
Macon and Athens Railroad cornea, to
that point, the Georgia Railroad’s policy
would be to encourage cotton to Augus
ta by lowering the local to that city on
one side, or to Atlanta on the other. The
Macon road could not make any special
inducements to attract cotton down to
Macon, for that city is not as mnch a
cotton market as Athens. There would
be absolutely no sense in building np a
competing point at Madison and of putting
up a compress there. The Georgia Rail
road moves the best nart of the Athens
cotton now and will continue to do so.

county scored s big victory yesterday at
the polls. The candidates tor the legis

Democratic nominees. A strong sup

All of the districts have been heard
from except Randolph’s, and there is no
doubt that the.nontinees have cirried the
day in that district too! Hence there is
no question whatever as to the election
of the Democratic nominees! Old Jack-
son is to be congratulated upon having
such worthy men to represent her in the
next Legislature, and we shall expect
them to make a record of which any
constituency might well feel proud.
Three cheers and a tiger, we say, for
Key and Williams, the Democratic
nominees.

Hr. Galaway, the independent candi
date, is a very popular physician, and the
independents claim that nis own friends
and partisans refused to vote for him on
the ground of his great need as a physi
cian at home. While the others contend
that the Hon. H. A. Carithers who has
represented the county for three terms
previous to this, is the only man in the
county that could have been elected on
the independent ticket. Messrs. Gresh

Jeff Took, col., the republican candidate,
received about twenty votes.

suggestions.

Dear Banner-Watchman.—I read with
strict attention Gov. Lee's address of wel
come to the Knights of Labor Assembly
at Richmond, Va., on Monday last. I al
so read and pondered well Mr. l’owder-
ly's response. 1 could find no fault to
Lee's address. It was fu 11 of good, com
mon sense and sound logic. He tells Mr.
Powderly there is no room in this coun
try for a third party. That is as true as
Holy writ. Mr. Powderly uttered some
good sentiments, but he is rather a croak-
If Mr. Powderly wishes all men to
obtain jus «-, he had best seek it inside
of one of the two present parties, I should
say the Democratic party, for it has been
opposed to grinding monopolies, at least
ever since the days of President Jackson’s
administration, and if Mr. P. thinks ail
men are not getting justice let him and
his organization help elect good men in
side the party to which they belong, and
not go out as we did by secession; for I
am sure that the Knights of 1-abor, ss a
political party, will not be composed of
better material than the Democratic par
ty, nor will they be less liable to bribery
and corruption. The Republican party
is the one responsible for these land
frauds, and Credit Mobelia frauds, and
since the Democracy has been in power,
they have reclaimed a great deal of the
lands thus fraudulently disposed of. And
the Democracy is as much opposed to the
importation of pauper labor to this coun
try as the knights of labor are. Mr. Pow-
dcrly intimates that they expect to run
the universe when properly under way,
and a Scullion by the name of Woodward,
who spoke here last fall, said Powderly
possessed more power than President
Cleveland. Mr. Cleveland has laws en
acted by the Unired States Congress, and
i& his duty to execute them. He has
the sword with which to execute the
laws, and to enforce the collection of rev-
enuues, those Revenues pay foa the exe
cution of these laws, and there is no hitch
If one of Mr. Cleveland’s officials
fails to obey his commands he is amenable,
and will be punished. Mr. Cleveland
has the legal power. Has Mr. Powderly
any power only to command? We hear
it said he can excommunicate a member
or an assembly. What do they care for
that? Mr. Powderly’s power is just as
strong as a rope of sand without lime in
If the Knights of Labor wish to
keep up their organization and will keep
out of politics, I have not a word to
say to the contrary. I will oppose it no
more than I do the Odd Felloyra or Ma
sons, (of which I am one) but if it is to
be a political party, I can say with Gov.
Lee, there is no room for it in this coun
try, and it will always be “snowed un
der." While there are some very well
meaning men in the organization—many of
my personal friends, they lack a very im
portant element, cohesion. I have writ

Bad coughs are recking hundreds of
throats in Athens.
Labor,
The defeat of the Knights of
through their Legislative candidate. Dr.
Lowry, was the topic of conversation on
the streets yesterday. It has long been
the boast that this order had a majority
of the voters enrblled'in its ranks, and
the contest of Wednesday waa anxiously
looked forward to that the real strength
of the Knights of Labor might be discov-
ered. It was generally admitted that
there never was such an opportunity
presented for their triumph, as the op
position ranks were badly divided.
There were two candidates in the field,
and besides there was a large element
dissatisfied with “scrub” race, who
stood aloof and refused to vote. How
ever, with so many conspiring advanta
ges in their favor, if the Knights could
not muster strength enough to elect Dr.
Lowry, it seems folly for them to ever
again to assume to dictate politics in
Athens or Clarke county. Bnt in spite
of all the favorable surroundings the
Knights were badly beaten, and their
combined strengthjshown to be only 462
votes. And Dr. Lowry, too, pol'ed eve
ry vote that they could control, and but
very few white Knights failed to vote the
ticket dictated by their order. It is
complained that many of their colored
members deserted them. This is prob
ably true, but the^same desertion
would take place diaanother election
occur. Men who will not be controlled
one time will not submit at acother.
The election of Wednesday shov73 that
the Knights have greatly weakened since
the municipal contest of last year, and
they cannot now control as much
strength in the entire county as they
did in the city of Athens less than one
year ago.
A Banner reporter yesterday inter
viewed a prominent gentleman who has
always been in sympathy with the
the Knights, and asked what he thought
af the defeat.
“I expected it," was the reply, “and
counselled them against exposing their
real strength by putting out a ticket A
new order has always the reputation of
being much more numerous than it re
ally is, and the true policy of the
Knights would have been to make terms
with one of the candidates in the field
and quietly hare voted for him. By
this means they could have held the
balance of power, and still retained the
fear of the public. Now that the order
has exposed its real power, it will be
ridiculous to talk about controlling poli
tics. The only hope for the Knights ia
to quit politics and confine themselves
to their real purpose.”
We think the defeat of Wednesday of
Dr. Lowry will be better for the Knights
of Labor and also for our city and coun
ty. There is no necessity for any differ
ence or division among our democratic
voters, for it can only stir up hard
feeling and bitterness. It ia not right
that any one class or organization should
rule politics, but let the selection of of
ficers be left solely with the consciences
of the people, without any bias or pre
judice. We hope taht after this defeat
the Knights will let politics alone, and
not try to drawn any lines between la
bor and the business community. Let
us unite on and elect good men to office,
whether they be Knights of Labor or
capitalists. The democrats of Georgia
cannot afford to split up and divide, for
then they only give a loophole
for the bartering of suffrage.

Saving Labor.—Col. .Bose Hill and
Capt. Whit Johnson were in the city this
week, and say that Col. Joseph S. Baughn,
of Oglethorpe, who is perhaps the Uzi
est man in Georgia, the other day started
to cut down a large oak that stood on
the roadside near his home, but after
striking two or three licks, laid aside
his axe and getting a chunk of fire and
some brush, deliberately set to work to
burn down the tree. It took over a
week to thus fell the tree, but Col.
Baughn patiently sat on the fence all
that time and kept the fire going. Joe
says it takes longer time to burn down
a tree than fell it with an axe, but then
he saves ths wear and tear of his grind
stone.

THROWING THE BOMB.
Who Hurled the Dynmamlt* cartridge In
CarneevUle—senator Da via Badly start—
Probably not Thrown to Injure an* One.
From Mr. Luther Berch who ie just
from Carnesville we learn the full parti
culars of the dynamite explosion. Sena-
ator Lewis Davis and a party of friends
were talking between the court house
and the office of the Franklin County Reg.
istor, when the bomb was thrown from
near the court house they saw the
fuse burning and started to see what it
was. Just as they got to itthe explosion
took place. Senator Davis was knocked
senseless for some time and his face bad
ly blackened and bruised. It was sev
eral minutes before hecould be brought
to consciousness. Another one of the
party whose name we could not learn,
was knocked down, but not badly hurt.
The explosion was terrific, and broke
lamps and windows for several blocks.
It is thought that the parfy who threw
the bomb did not do it to hurt any one,
but only in honor of the election of Hon.
J. A.'Harrison.
It is not known who threw the bumb.
Senator Davis is a perfect gentleman, has
no enemies, and no one could have thrown
it to injure him.

The deeds were made many yean ago
by a man named Whitehead, and from
au appearances seemed to be genuine.
Some of the lands called for by the
deeds lies near the paper mill in Clarice.

Upon a failure of Atlanta to capture
the Macon & Covington road, by the
route being changed to Athens, Atlanta
has systematically .gone to work to un
dermine and break down the enterprise
by circulating false reports and subject-
ino Col. Machen and the road to numer
ous petty annoyances. But in spite of
all these drawbacks the enterprise has
been pushed steadily onward, and to-day
we find all opposition beaten down
and the Macon & Athens road and its
progressive projector have triumphed
over all opposition.
We yesterday met Judge W. B.
Thomas, to whom is due the praise for
Athens’ success in capturning the line,
and asked him the latest news from the
M. & A.
“I have nothing new to report,” re
marked the Judge, “except that one
million dollars in bonds have been sold
in England at 90 cents, the iron to equip
the entire road, from Monticello to Ath
ens, and also to Griffin, has been pur
chased, and the money is now in hand to
pay contractors as fast as their work
done. The engineers are now patting
down the grading stakes toward Athens
fast as they can work, ank will be
followed by the graders. In fact every
thing is ready to complete the road, and
its success is now assured beyond the
shadow of a doubt”
“Will Col. Machen build a branch
from the M. & A. to connect with the
Georgia Midland at Griffin?”
“Yea; that is all arranged, and the
copnectmg link to Griffin will be built
at the same time that the road to Athena
is being graded.”
“Where will the Georgia Midland
tap the M. & A?”

cannot say yet”

Oaaof the Fat Places af tka Public
School System—Primary Grades
•ad ska Object IiessaBs—Beadlng
and Writing.
The impression has gotton abroad that
Athens has adopted in her public
schools one of the best systems now in
use.
And the impression is not far wrong.
The scores of neople who visit the
schools just opened in the city are deci
dedly of that opinion. An hour spent
■mong the busy children and earnest
teachers is one of the pleasures of the
day. 1 If one is fortunate enough to se
cure Prof. Branson as a cicerone the plea
sure and the profit are secured.
The other morning the Bann eb-W atch-
man yielded to one of the Superintend
ents’ invitations and went down to the
Oconee Street School. This is the home
of the primary grades; “the nest of the
tots.” .What a pity the city has not a
fine building ready for these little fellows!
Still they are packed snugly together
behind the clean, new desks and manage
to make out remarkably well.
The children had been drawn up in
long lines on the outside, under the care
of the teachers, and filed in with soldier
ly precision. One room after another
was filled at the tap of the bell, the pu
pils hanging their hats upon pegs in the
hail as they passed through.
“You see they carry order with them
into the school room,” said Prof. Branson’
“No running or rushing over desks or
seats. They are easily started off into
study when they are seated.”
The little tots sat down with the same
order, a row of boys and a row of girls.
In answer to a question Prof. Branson
said that it was much easier to educate
the boys and girls together. They sat
and recited in the same room. They are
always under the care of a teacher, and
at recess are no less under supervision.
The boys and giris have separate play
grounds.
“You see it saves space and teachers
and time and material, and there is no
trouble in any department.”
In the Oconee Street School are rooms
presided over by Miss Linton, Miss Ber
nard, Miss Carr, Miss Roper, Miss Brum
by and Miss Noble. There are two rooms
down stairs and two up stairs. Two
teachers sit in each room below.
The first room to the left is controlled
by Miss Linton and Miss Brunicy—“first
grade A.” Pupils in this room are be
ginners. They average six years, and
one month ago few of them knew a let
ter. Very few know their letters now;
but they arebegginning to read and write
very well.
The system of object teaching is em
ployed entirely. It is the Kindergarten
method.
“th.s is a bio rat.”
These words had been written in pret
ty script on the black board. The graph
ic outlines of a large rat were chalked
out on the slate, and the attention of the
children was fastened on the object.
They knew the picture and soon learned
the word. Written in a clump of other
words, few of the children failed to find
on the board the word “rat.” Then they
were taught to write the above sentence
on their slates beetween ruled lines, and
most of them made fair copies of the
words which were Greek to them.
In this way the pupil in a few weeks
acquires several hundred words which
he knows by sight. After this
comes the analysis of words, the disin
tegration of letters and their phone values.
The drill in sound follows expertness
in sight Having learned to read and
write they are not long in learning to spell.
It is the old order reversed, but it is t v e
natural order after all. The way of coin-
Ihencing to master abstract characters is
obviously wrong. Men go from generali
ties to particulars; from concrete to ab
stract things. This is the order with the
child, and the savage, and this is the way
ihese children learn their letters, in
this primary room not a book Was to be
seen. But slates nicely cleaned, pencils
carefully sharpened and classes moving
like clockwork, were the rules. Schol
ars arc drilled even in reversing their
slates, in selecting corners for writing
their words—everything shows system
and order.
teaching numbers.
“How many are there here?”
Prof. Branson had marked down five
po nts on the board end covered them
with his hand. Uncovering them for a
moment, he quickly replaced his hand.
Keeping attention on the alert the schol
ars filled their little punctured squares
in front of them with five shoe pegs, or
held up five light wooden tapers. The
number five was analysed—“four and one,
three and t vo, two and two and one.”
Then somebody told a story about five,
and so on, the hardest branch in English
education was commenced.
In the room to the right js “the first
grade B”—Miss Roper and Miss Carr.
The children here are using books—read
ing lower grades—and practicing figures
with shells and other pretty implements;
This is a step higher.
Up stairs Miss Noble and Miss Brum
by have 2d grades A. and B. We saw there
remarkable exhibitions of notation and
numeration.
One of the hardest things is arithmetic
as to distinguish between units of the
first, second, third orders, and so on.
Many children give up without under
standing the rules that ten units of the
first order make one of the second, etc.
This relation is simply and perfectly ex-
ained by this method of teaching.
Miss Noble’s pupils were goingthrough
this lesson. A box held up in front was
divided into three apartments. The lit
tle toothpicks in the right hand box were
units. The little bundles of ten tooth-
licks in india rubber bands, were tens,
n the third box ten of these little bun
dles were tied into one—containing one
hundred toothpicks.
Now seven large bundles, four small
packages and five picks were displayed
in order in the open box top.
“745!” sang out twenty voices. The
number was analyzed, the relations of
the units explained, and when the figures
were written on the black board every
scholar understood perfectly what they
meant—better than four fifths of grown
people do, in fact.
The method of object teachingisnowad-
vanced entirely in the first normal schools
aud employed in the present progressive
school systems.
l’rof. Branson, we believe, represents
the best and most progressive methods,
and his manner is easy and attractive in
a schoolroom—his style is luminous and
instructive.
Pupils are kept busy all the time—and
there is no mental strain. The attention
is captured but the occupation is varied
enough to make the employment pleasant
as well as profitable.
Sensation in Richmond over the
Forwardness of Delicate Farrell.
Richmond, VasOct,6.—Although
Yesterday, in strolling along Broad
street a Banner-Watchman reporter
met an Athens capitalist whom he had
missed from his accustomed haunts for
several days.
“I have been out to Birmingham, Ala.,”
was his reply to our inquiry, “and I tell
you it was the hardest work for me to get
off without investing in property in that
city, but I managed to escape no richer
or poorer than when I left Athens. I
never saw such a boom as has struck Bir
mingham, and the people are wild over
their great future; and I don’t believe,
either, that there is mushroom inflation
about the place. Birmingham is not
founded on sand, as is other boastful ci
ties, but on a vast bed of iron and coal,
worth millions of solid wealth to the
square mile, Why did I not invest?
Property is so exceedingly high, but I
believe its advance has only begun. There
is one* little lot, in the business quarter,
with only twenty-five feet front, that sold
for $25,000. Think of $1,000 a foot for
land! Why, in the old town of Elyton,
about twe miles from Birmingham, you
cannot buy land for less than $10,000 an
acre, while it is not unusual to sell a tract
of land several miles out of town and
with not a pound of iron or coal on it for
$300 per acre. Farms are being cut up
into town lots and sold at city prices.
Birmingham is destined to be the largest
place in the South, and if some steel
tests now being made succqd, the place
will probably have a quarter of a million
of inhabitants in little or no time. The
whole city is underlaid with the richest
kind of iron ore, and the five furnaces
now in operation are making millionaires
of all the stockholders. There is one
man who owns miles of that rich iron
ore and he will in a few years lie the Jay
Gould of the South and his wealth be
numbered by the millions. He is an Al
abamian and broke at farming but went
into the iron business. He bought up
all the vacant lots to bo found, and now
in a few years finds himself many times
a millionaire.”
The senior editor of the Banner-
Watchman, when a boy, and the year
before the war, for about twelve months
or more lived in Shelby county, Ala.,
near the present site of Birmingham, and
boarded with a man named Matt Pattern,
who lived in one of the best houses in the
neighborhood, which consisted of five
log cabins built in a row, with passages
between each and the houses chinked
with lime mortar that presented a very
pretty effect. There were little moun
tains all around the house, while in front
rippled a pretty mountain stream. We
never saw a prettier sight. The govern
ment then owned large belts of land, and
the iron and coal mines, that are now-
worth a fortune could then be bought at
ten cents per acre. Mr. Patten ran a
blacksmith shop, and when he wanted a
load of coal would go on some public
lrnd lot near his shop aud dig it. Elyton
was then the county site, and an insignif
icant little town with no apparent future.
When the railroad was built, it was first
intended to pass through Elyton, but the
people in their greed refused it any aid,
so Birmingham was built about two
miles distant.
A great many Athenians are now down
with the Birmingham fever, and fcve
would be surprised if heavy investments
w.-re not made by some in property
there. This is a very risky business, and
we would advise such to be very careful
how they placed their cash.
today was the third day of tne con
vention its members were nof ready
to begin the actual work , they had
come to do. There t till remained to
be settled the question ni seating S
delegates whose ' cases
the committee on o edentiais fca d
referred to the convention. Through
out the city today the principal top
ic of discussion was the admission
last night of the colored delegate
Farrell, to a seat in the orchestra
circle in the Academy of Music, a
section in the auditorium in the
Richmond theatre hitherto sacredly
guarded from the intrusion of bis
race. A feeling of bitter resentment \
is felt among the Virginians, and
they regard the delagaie from No.
49 with anything but a friendly feel
ing. It is said that a majority of the
local Knights are provoked at the
act’on of their visiting brothers,and
it was reported that a few of the
Knights living here declared their
'intention of abandoning the Order,
and joining the Law and Order
League, organized in sworn opposi
tion to the Knights.
Farrell, the colored delegate of
Assembly 49, called on Mr. Pow
derly a this hotel this evening.
It is stated that no further attempt
will be made by colored delegates
tc- enter the theatre in unauthorized
places while the convention is in
session.
MERELY A SENSATION.
It was rumored today that the
delegates of District 49. with their
colored brother, Farrell, intended
go'ng to the Richmond theatre this
evening, and that if the l»tter was
refused admission to force their way
in. Mrs. W. T. PoWell, proprietor
arid manager ol the theatre, which
is the leading one in the city, heard
of the rumor and gave instructions
that Farrell should not be admitted
except for the gallery reserved for
negroes. She called on Chief of
Police Poe, to afford protection in
case of trouble. Chief Poe called
on Mr. Powderly to request that he
use his influence to prevent the at
tempt. Mr. Powderly sent Mr.
Hayes to the executive board. He
said he thought Farrell would not
try to enter, but h^ could give no
assurance on the subject. Chief
Poe sent 35 men to guard the thca-
t.e. At the hour for opening the
the theatre, thousauds of people as
sembled on Broad street, but the
colored delegate or his fellow mem
bers did not put in their appearance.
The crowd remained until 1 o’clock
before dispersing.

when the freight train of the Geor
gia railroad reached Madison,a fear
ful and fatal accident occurred in
in,which Mr. Reese, one of the
train men, who resided in Angusta,
lost his life. It appears, from the
unfortunate man’s antemortem state
ment, that Mr. Reese, in attempting
in attempting to climb on top of
his car when the train was in mo
tion, lost his footing and fell be
neath the car and several loaded
cars passed over his body in the
region ol the pelvis, literally crush
ing it into jelly. Both of his legs
were cut in twain and broken,
and a fearful gash cut into his lace
near his mouth. Notwithstanding
all this he lived some thirty min
utes perfectly conscious, suffering
the most agonizing torture, and call
ing most pitiously for surgical aid.
Dr. C. M. George, one of our most
skillful surgeons, reached the un
fortunate sufferer as soon as possi
ble, but only a few moments before
death ended the agonizing, sicken
ing scene. No blame attaches to the
railioad management, as Mr. Reese
in his dying moments stated the
facts. The unfortunate man, we
learn, leaves a wife and children in
Augusta,who were entirely depen d-
end upon him for protection and
support. May God pity them in
this tearful, sudden and unexpect
ed stroke of Providence!
An Accident.—Bud Barnett, col., of
H trmony Grove, one of the train hands
on the N. E. R. R., had his hand badly
mashed yesterday while coupling cars.
•It is giving him considerable pain.
A prominent physician said
,*A patient who waa almost dying from
the effects of Tfertiary Syphillis and who
had been treated by several noted physi
cians without benefit, used a dozen bot
tles of B. B. B. and was entirely cured.
He had ulcers on his arms, and the bones
protruded through the flesh and skin ta
the elbow, and death teemed inevitabe. ’

Americus, Ga., Oct. 5.—Last
winter, when the Ohio excursionists
came to Georgia, among them was
a young man by the name of F. W.
Smith. He hired to a farmer in >
this county for $8 per month, and
worked through the' season of culti
vating the crop. When the crop
was “laid by,” his time being up
with Mr. D. W. Badgely, he set
aoout finding -some land upon
which to farm. He rented a place,
upon which was a twelve acre field
which a negro tenant had
planted in cotton, but abandoned to
grass. Mr. Smith at once saw that
could be saved. With his own
hands he cut hay six days on. shares
for Mr. S. W. Small?, his lanlord.
He stopped work at the end of six
days on account of sickness. Hia
part of of the hay amounts to ta
tons, which is nicely cured and
housed, and he has been offered one
hundred aud twenty dollars, where
it is, but declined to sell.
