When short on local news wc always
make it our business to pay a visit 'to
the Athens Foundry and Machine
Works, for you can ever find something
new and interesting there. It is the
busiest place in Athens, and it mat
ters not how dull the season, you see at
the Athens Foundry plenty of work and
activity. Friday morning, in strolling
over this part of our city and looking at
the improvements going up on every
hand and comparing that busy section to
what it was a few years ago, we stepped
into the foundry, and being met by the
superintendent, Mr. Thomas Bailey,
asked to be shown through the estab
lishment. We were turned over to Mr.
Leonard Schevencll, the gemnl book
keeper, and carried through the various
buildings and over the grounds. We first
entered the otfice, and were shown hang
ing upon the walls a collection of Con
federate-made weapons. There was a
sword and a scabbard made in Xew Or
leans, crossed by one of the famous doe
Brown pikes. The pike is a very rough
and altogether harmless weapon, and we
.ire surprised that a man of Joe Brown’s
judg-inent should ever have thought of
arming soldiers in the 19th century with
such miserable makeshifts. The iron
point of the pike is about as long as a
man’s hand,and fastened on to a pole as a
spade is to its handle. A good fence-rail
would have been a more destructive
weapon during battle. There was also
in this collection an old English blun
derbuss, with muzzle shaped like u fun
nel, and other war relics.
”1 will begin at the beginning,” re
marked Mr. Schevenell, and he carried us
into the pattern shop, under charge of
Mr. Lewis Bailey. Here are made of
wood exact representations of any piece
of casting needed, and it is an imp »rtan {1

to Miss Coates, of Baltimore and to the
new members who have just joined the

ful one. Square dances were indulged,
in until 11 o’clock, when delightful re

*T want you to make an effort to get

“But the Captain will positively not be
a candidate under any circumstances,”
replied the reporter.
*‘lf the right pressure is brought to
hear he will accept,” was the reply; “and
he is the only man in Athens that we
can elect without spending one dollar
and without opposition. Capt. Talmadge

call of his party, his friends and city,
and while 1 know that to accept the of
fice would be a great personal sacrifice

1H- GROWING CROPS.
Estimate ol tbe YUM In Cstton and Corn
tn Georgia tor This Year.
A rt.ASEA. Oct. 14.—[Special.] The es
timate of the prospective yield of cotton
in the State, li&::"d upon its condition
i ii t.il.er 1st, in comparison with an aver
age crop, falls two points below the esti-
niater of last month. There is a small
decrease in the sections except South west
Georgia. This is probably due to the
dr,.nth which, except in thu extreme
Southern portion of the State, along the
Florida and coast line, has been general.
Tlie drpness of the month, however,
while it caused some shedding has doubt-
lcs. iieen of more than compensating ad
vantage by facilitating the opening and
tin gathering of the crop in good condi
tion.
The condition of the lint in the portion
..f the crop gathered to this data', is ex
ceptionally good.
Tile prospective yield is, in North Geor
gia, Til; in Middle Georgia, 80; in South
west Georgia, 78; in East Georgia, 71;
in Southeast Georgia, 94. anil in the whole

gia, 94, and in tbe whole State, 91.

MEVNARDIE’S CONDITION.
THE MASTER WORKMAN ANDTJHE
AUGUSTA KNIGHTS.
;1m y are stored in alar^e two-story fire
proof building and so system,
atioully arranged that among the thou-
*ands of pieces any desired one can be
rea lily found. From the pattent room
we invaded the moulding department,
order the superintency of Mr. J. H.
Me lor. In this room are all the castings
made, and a number of hands are em
ployed in making molds ready to receive
the molten iron. After the castings are
taken from the sand they are carried off
ami scraped clean. The pieces are then
conveyed into the machinery department,
• n’er the immediate supervision of Mr.
Bailey himself, and the finishing touches
put on. This is the most interesting de
partment in the establishment. It is |
equipped with tlie best and most improved
machinery of all kinds, and the ground
Hoor of the foundry is crowded with all
manner of machines for working iron.
Here can be made anything formed of
iron. The most skilled machinists are
only employed, and the work turned out
at the foundry has always boon renowned
throughout the country for its reliability.
Wo were shown the engine that was in
Mr. Met duty’s shops when they were
burned, and that was thought to he
ruined. It is now ns good as new, and
could he easily sold ns a new piece of
machinery. The blacksmith shop is un-
ler charge of Mr. John Stuninmrs, and
what he doesn't know about working
iron is not worth learning. We were
particularly struck with the manner*that
the fires are kept fanned here. There is
sign of bellow s, but a fan is worked
by machinery, and in the main building,
is in operation by simply turning a lever,
it is a great improvement on the old-
fashioned bellows.
Besides doing general repair work, the
foundry mar. 11 factures several agricultu
ral implements that have a'tained great
popularity. They are now manufactur
ing the Stapler plow-stock, an invention
ot Mr. W. I*. Stapler, of Harmony drove,
and that is said to be one of the best ever
patented. They have now 8,IKK) about
ready for shipment, and will manufacture
16,000 more before the season is over.
(>j»ly the best material is used and every
stock is warranted. We are glad to see
that some of the money our people have
berii sending off for such farm imple
ments will now he spent at homo.
The Fhilpot manure distributor is
another agricultural machine made at
this foundry, and it is one of the
best inventions we have seen it is a sub
stantially built cart, and the body so ar*
ranged that any quantity of manure can
he distributed to the acre. It is an im
mense saving of both time and fertilizers.
This foundry also puts up a machine for
Henry Heard Co., with headquarters
at Athens, Ga., for grinding cotton seed,
which is highly endorsed by practical
farmers. The popular Colt cotton press
is aLo manufactured here, and is un-
louhtedly the best in the country.
Messrs. Schevenell Bailey are making
a gin-saw filing machine, their own in
vention, that is a splendid thing and will
come into general use. We were also
shown one of the Lawson & Bailey car
couplers,an invention in which we believe
there are millions, and will eventually be
attached to every car in use. It is the
simplest thing im iginable, and cars can
be coupled and uncoupled without the
slightest dagger to the brakeman. A
couple of dollars will attach one to a car.
JMgo W. B. Thomas "has consented to
ntroduce this to the various railroads of
America, and will leave in a few weeks
for the West for this purpose. This
ueans success for the invention and a big
forture for the patentees.
We could devote columns to describing
what we saw at the Athens Foundry,
lid space and time permit. It is one
of the most solid institutions in our city,
md an object of pride to our people.
The foundry is now' on a high road
prosperty, and we expect soon to see it
igain enlarged.
in his favor.
The reporter, upon this request, called
upon the Captain at his store, and after
delivering the message, asked if he
would become a candidate.
“1 am out of politics,” was the reply,
“and want to keep out. I have served
my time, and now let some one else be
chosen. Judge W. B. Thomas is the
right man and will be w'orth a great deal
to Athens. He ought to run. Why, I
would vote for Bailey Thomas for May
or,” remarked Capt. “if I did not
speak to him. He is the very man that
Athens needs at this time.”
Butl*tttle Interest ITIanifestcd-Will
Vote for Any Good nan, But Won’t
Get to Work-nr. Wood’s Candi
dacy Discussed*
Yesterday a Banner-Watchman re
porter talked with quite a number of the
business men of Athens on the munici
pal contest, and was surprised to see so
little interest manifested. In fact, there
seemed to be a desire to evade the dis
cussion. There is a unanimous feeling
that the voters ought to centre on and elect
a good and acceptable ticket, but at the
same time there was a general expression
of a determination not to take any very
active part in tlie pending contest, more
than to vote. We found Capt C. G. Tal-
madge, Mr. J. H. llucker, l)r. J. A. Hun-
utt, Mr. A. II. Hodgson and Judge W.
B. Thomas all equally acceptable to the
voters, and a willingness expressed to
support either of these gentlemen who
would make the race; but at the same
time we were informed that all the par
ties earned had p >~itively declined to^n-
tT the arena. :v* far as this is con
cerned, howevt., wo belh ve that if a pe
tition signed b} a large ami respectable
element of our population was presented
to either of these gentlemen, insisting
that they become a candidate, they
could and would not decline. We also
find but little interest taken in the elec
tion of Aldermen, and no names are thus
far proposed in any of the wards. The
announcement of Mr. Wood is generally
discussed, and we find several business
men who worked and voted against him
last year who say they will now vote for
him, when he becomes the candidate of
the Knights of Labor; that they do not
believe in one organization controlling
the politics of a city. This an error that
Mr. Woods friends say that he will steer
clear of. In a week or ten days & ticket
will probably be put in the field, is a
fight is decided on.
Amusements.—Very few shows are
booked for Athens this season In fact,
not irore than eight or ten thus far. The
poor patronage extended companies by
our people have driven them off.
Capt. Clikard.—Capt. A. D. Clinard,
family and Mrs. Wharton left yesterday
for Cave Spring, which place they will
make their future home. The Captain
will have charge of a hotel there.
The Simonton Bridge.—Capt. John
White was in the city yesterday, and
says that he will this week about finish
up work on the Simonton bridge. It
will be one of the best in the county.
Dry Cotton.—The cotton gathered
this year is very dry and samples splen
didly. The farmers, ho a ever, do not
gain anything in weights, and by holding
it they will gain instead of lose.

Editors of Bannkr-Watchvav: Da

pleasure to hear from aB' c5assoa-of qut
people an unqualified condemnation ol
buying votes and tlie indiscriminate use
of money in elections. — -Reform. in
this particular is demanded from one end
of the city to the other and from one
end of the county to the other. The paid
voter is but one step from the paid incen
diary and the midnight assassin, and the
people only need leaders in a movement
to forever stamp out this danger to a free
ballot. The best people of all classes are
united in sentiment on this issue. The
mission of the Knights of tabor is to
elevate the voter ami they cannot remain
loyal to their order and refuse to lend a
helping hand to this reform. Agitate
the matter and call a grand mass meeting
of the citizens of Athens, and we will

which do not contain something worthy

STORY OF A LOCOMOTIVE.
B Brilliant Wedding.
About sundown on Thursday evening
he 11th instant, there was a large gath
ering at the Methodist Church of Wat-
kinsvifle. Flower and foliage adorned
die illuminated church. All was still
for a few moments when the organ began
;o play, and Mr. Jno. A, Wilson on"; of
he promising young men of the village,
•ntered the the right hand door of the
:hurch,'Miss Lucy B. Daniel, a cherished
utd loved daughter of the community,
’.teing at his side. They walked to the
front of the pulpit and the solemn vows
.f marriage were mutually taken, tbe
mrmhonybeing performed oy Pr.jC. W.
Isumo of Athens. To the bridal pair the
Hanker-Watchman extends; Its heal
wishes for a bright and happy life.
Yesterday, while in the businees office
of tlie Athens Foundry, we noticed o
a portrait of the John W. Nicholson, an
eDgine on the Northeastern railroad fram
ed and hung on the wall.
' ‘There is a little history connected with
that picture,” reinarkel Mr Schevencll,
bookkeeper for the Foundry, “that is not
generally known. That engine was
bought at a time when the Xortheastem
was badly under the weather, and in ur
gent need of another locomotive. The
credit of the road was so bad that the
builders refused to honor the order. But
Capt Reufien Nicholson, one of Athens
most solid end public spirited citizens at
this instant came forward, bought tlie
locomotive in bis own name and turned it
over to the road. Of course he was
paid for it. It shows when tbe credit of
a single citizen is better than that of a
railroad.”
Public Sale.—The sale of perishable

Two citizens, who rowed in a small boat

three and four o'clock the smaller houses
began to yield to the resistless force of

the unfortunate town of Sabine Pass,
has been re-established, but the inhabi

ing the report of the relief parties. Tbe
village of Sabine Pass lies only four feet
above the mean tide mark, and is bounded
by great swamps on tbe west and Lake
Sabine on the north. It was this lake
according to the most experienced navi
gators on this coast, that destroyed the
town. The hurricane of last Sunday in
the West Indies blew the waters with
great violence toward the Texas coast
