error.
This paper dot ’ not subscribe to that
feeling of local prejudice which would

Atlanta at any co>t. It was for the Uom-

ruled neninst us. the representatives of
Athens on the Board and in attendance
were not concerned in killing oil’the

mggesting the importance

to decide the question of candidates for
all offices, has met with the almost unan

The suggestion we believe will be acted
upon. We want the fullest, the freest
and the fnire>t expression of the popular
voice, and to this end will make the fol
lowing suggestion: Let each candidate
for Mayor of Athens meet and select
twenty friends, cho*cn from every class
of his voters, in whose hands he will
rest his claims and pledge his honor to

very remarkable way, and yet when we
consider the object Mr. Blaine has in
view, the combination is not unnatural.
A protective tarilf draws to the North
ern artisan a handsome premium from
the pockets of the Southern and West
ern planter. A full negro suffrage con
trolled by the Northern politician would
carry protection to the New England
i demagogue and office-seeker. High tar

the Pennsylvania manufacturer. ‘‘Free

MR. HARRELL, OF WEBSTER.
One of the most interested among the
disinterested spectators at the Techno
logical meeting in Atlanta was Uon. Da-
Yid 11. Harrell,of Webster. He has been
a consistent nnd unremitting opponent of
the school and the scheme from the be
ginning. He opposed the bill in the last
Legislature on the ground that there was
no surplus in the treasury nnd would
not he in several years. The law re
quired the money to bo given from
funds not otherwise appropriated, and
under this provision Mr. Harrell held, no
money could be available without the
raising of an additional tax. He charac
terized the University as a school for
rich men’s sons, and said it >vas no place
for poor hoys or farmers. He waged
war on the University ring, nnd was re
flected to the Legislature, we are told,
on this very issue, lie enters the House
naxt month loaded for Technological
Schools and was getting all the points ot
the meeting, for his columhiad. He will
have Mr. McLendon, of Thomas, in his
forefiont otice more with a review of his
political record, however, and we look
for some lively scenes.
Mr. Harrell is an aide man. but he is a
treasury guard, self-appointed, and a
chronic grumbler. He is a fine lawyer,
and was a member of the constitutional
convention, and his powers are those
which Knight be directed to better pur-
_ poses. lie can afford to leave to dema
gogues some of the points in his argu-
. incuts,and serve the State better in other
ways. Mr. Harrell, of Webster, proba
bly opposes the University for a reason
pllnHtr to that which influenced Sir
jjyrigJIoach in refusing to legislate for
posterity. What the University

port. Candidates and their friends have
been long bled by a corrupt horde of suf
frage-venders, and each year, instead of
seeing the evil lessened, it is on the in
crease. We are not waging this war in
tho interest of any candidate, but in be
half of decency and pure government.
The polls in Clarke county have long
been a tiavesty on the name of elec
tions, for the balance of power was trans
ferred to tho most venal ami corrupt
element of our population, and the hal
lo. of an honest citizen ranked no higher
than the vote of an unscrupulous and de
praved creature who yet had in his pock
et tho price of his influence. Such a
practice is demoralizing to our people, to
onr business interests and to society. It
cannot eontinne nlways, and the sooner
the honest voters of our county arise in
their majesty and place the brand of
condemnation on suffrage-bartering the
tetter for us. Now is the accepted
time. We are trying to force no revo

will gladly accept any suggestion that
willremedy this evil.

Office Banner-Watciiman,
Athens, Oct. 22, 1886.
Business this week has been a lively-
repetition of the past four weeks. The
weather has heen beautiful. The dust
and heat have been unpleasant, hut the
fields have received due attention and
the bolls have been cleanly picked. Noth
ing has stood in the way of the prompt
marketing of the crop, save, perhaps,
the engrossing attention which the farm
er has given to picking out Hauling
has heen stopped in man}' places for that
and the attendance at the various county
courts is slim because of the rapid open
ing of cotton and the attention which
the fanner is obliged to pay to his fields.
The news from the top crop of cotton
does not warrant the belief that the in
crement from this source will be
veavy. The top crop has opened quick- - —.. .

the drouth which has prevailed for two
months, has badly injured the cotton,
and that the yield which was expected
to have been so heavy from the post
ponement of the frost fiend, has been
cut off by the unprecedented dry spell.
If we could have had the min without the
frost, the yield would have been im
