Offult has i a news dealer in Montgomery for ill v years, and is well connected and 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.

The dance eras complimentary to Miss Coates, of Baltimore and to the new members who have just joined the Chapter at the opening of the college term. The scene was a bright and beau- ful one. Square dances were indulged, in until 11 o’clock, when delightful re freshments were served. Tbe German commenced shortly after, and the fig ures were led byMr. Guy Hamilton. The favors were exquisite and the German so excellently managed, was a faH suc cess under the charming supervision of Prof, and Mrs. White. THE LIST OF DANCERS. Miss Lamar Rutherford and W. S.

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 The yield, or prospective yield, of corn, in comparison witii that of an average crop, is, in North Georgia, 80; in Middle Georgia. HI; in Southwest Georgia, 92; in Fast Georgia. 98; in Southeast Geor gia, 94, and in tbe whole State, 91. The crop on uplands is generally very good, uliile that of the bottoms is quite poor, owing to protracted wet weather an i repeated ovorfiows In tbe earlier part of the growing season. : 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.

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 guarantee such a crown as has not as sembled in the Deupree Hall for years. Candidates nominated on such a platform can and will he elected Kekorm. Paper . Suspended.—The Harmony Grove Signal suspended yesterday. It was published by u young man named Waggone/.

The City Schools.—Any person in Athens can send to our free school so soon as he becomes a citizen of the place. It is not necessary to be a resi dent any given length of time. These are the best schools in the state. Street Car Tickets.—Mr. Dorsey says that after Nov. 1st street car tick ets will positively be put at five cents each. The reduction in price is only teinpory. They are going now like hot cakes. MULLANE & CU.

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 iroperty belonging to the estate of Mrs. vemp came off yesterday, and was large ly attended. Machinery and tools brought very low prices, but a fraction of their value. The household and kitchen ft|r- uiture sold well. Insurance Case Settler.—The law suit between Col. J. H.

We have no tel egraphic communication with Sabine Pass, as the wires are alt down, but an engine arrived here to-night over the East Texas railway, that left there about 6 o’clock. Two citizens, who rowed in a small boat across an expanse of tossing water, a dis tance of several miles from the town of Sabine to the railroad track, came in on the engine and gave a heartrending ac count of the affair. They say the water began to invade the town from the gulf and lake together about two o’clock Tuesday evening, and rose with unprece dented rapidity. The citizens of the doomed place did not realize the immi nent danger until it was too late to es- cape. . , NO SAFETY IN FLIGHT. When safety in flight was recognized as being out of the question the people who were situated so they could do so betook themselves to the houses and other resorts which they judged to be safe.

Telegraphic communication with Beau mont and Orange, the nearest points to the unfortunate town of Sabine Pass, has been re-established, but the inhabi tants of those places appear to be await 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 This hurricane wave was first noticed on this coast on Sunday morning, attaining its maximum on Tuesday afternoon ana was maintained at a high point by the impetus of the waters behind.
