$51^,887.93. Got. McDaniel reviews the
bond transaction' of last yesr, showing
that the sale of 4)4 per cent bonds had
been effected, in a manner which has ma
terially improved the credit of the Slate
and has largely reduced the annual in
terest; no commissions have been
paid in the sale of these bonds. The
beneficial effects of the transaction have
been felt, not only in appreiation of the
State’s credit, hut municipal and private
credit have been unproved. Since the
State loan, and in consequence of it, one
of our cities which has eight per cent
bonds outstanding, has recently sold 4)$
per cent bonds at par. Gov. McDaniel
recommends that the sum of .$100,000
each year be provided, as ordained in the
Constitution, for a sinking fund to pay off
the bonds of tbo State, and to ho used for
no other p rjiose whatever. The duty
will devolve upon the present Legislature
of providing for the payment o $2,141,-
000 six per cent bonds, issued under the
s", of February 19, 1877, which mature
January 1, 1889. It is believed that
bonds can he sold for that purpose bear
ing even a lower rate of interest than 4>jj
per cent.
IN THE SENATE.
l’romptly at 10 o'clock President Da
vidson's g ivel called the senate to order,
and Chaplain Jones offered prayer. Roll
call and reading of the journo' followed.
By Mr. Hawkes, of Thir.-c^th dis

house in joint session at 12 o'clock to
count and declare the vote for Governor
and other State officers in the recent
election. Carried.
By Mr Hawkes—Resolution declaring

notifying the Senate of the a; pointment
of a committee of five from that body, to
act with committee from Sena e in noti

coMrTaou.Ea general’s report.
The Comptroller General reports that
Insurance Companies in this State last
year- received premiums Amounting to
$1,416,854.39, and their losses to $486,-
279.'»7. The companies have improved
in number and character. The Gover
nor recommends stricter supervision ovet
this business by the State.
The increase in annual returns
for taxation in Gtorgia has
been maintained. The returns amount
to $329,489,505, an increase of nearly
$95,000,000 since 1879. This is far be
low the actual wealth of the state. Tho
provisions made from time to time to se
cure correct returns and valuation of
property have not been effectual. This
is one of the most important subjects
before the Legislature. A simple plan
of assessment, without change in the
number of present officials,- would pro
duce desirable results. If nothing more
should be accomplished than to equalize
the valuation of property and distribute
justly the burdens of taxation, the ex
periment should be made.
RAILROAD COMMISSION.
The delif—and important duties of
this body have been performed in a man
ner which has given a reasonable satis
faction to the public and to the compa
nies. Complaints of substantial griev
ances afe rare; adjustments are frequent;
the decisions of the Commission are
cheerfully acquiesced in. The Supreme
Court of the United States has recently
rendered a decision adversely to the
power of-he Commission to treat mat
ters of inter-state commerce, as well as
the right of the state to legislate on mat
ters affecting sucli commerce.
NEW CAPITOL.
A strong foundation has been laid,
upr n which three of the four stories
have been nearly completed. The Gov
ernor commends the fitness of the stone
and the excellence of the design. T he
Commission have expended $11,000 in
addition to the first estimate, in securing
a foundation. The progress of the wor,
however, justifies the belief that the
total cost of the new capitol, including
all incidental expenses, will not exceed
the limit of one million dollars. The'
new capitol will ho completed l»v Janu
ary 1, 1889. The Legislature is asked
to make the money available in that
time. Appropriations of $258,1X10 will I
be needed for the year 1887, and $2u0, ■
000 for the year 1888.

the airasof the Knighls order. He has
repressed Augusta most favorably, and
is not only able, but clever, genial and
good-looking. The Broad street en-
trace to the theatre was blocked this af
ternoon. It is said the dohts of the
Knights here in groceries, medicines and
rents is over $50,000. Of this amount
Wright has audited about $20 000, and
will settle the same as soon as the oper
atives go to work. He is investigating
bills and charges, and is determined that
his derision shall settle the trouble
Those who <lo not like it will have to
quit.
Master Meyn. rdie failed to get his
vindication from his old lodge. They
heard him hut simply told him they had
preferred no charges of defalcation, and
hence could not vindicate him. They
even declined to give him a vote,of con
fidence.
Mr. Wright brought $10,000 with him
and expects $10,000 more in a day or so.

Good-Sized Egos.—The newest dodge
—an avoidance out of the Way of prohib
itory laws—is a whisky-egg—that is, the
late edition is as full of w hisky as the
old, reliable egg is of meat, and a little
fuller, because they arc constructed large
enough to hold a good drink. Drummers
for whisky establishments are selling
them throughout the country, and the
dealer who handles them without license
to sell by the drink will he criminally
liable. The ingeniously devised vessel
is a fair counterfeit, we are told, of a
hen's egg, lias a carefully sealed punc
ture which, when laid open, leaves a
drinking cup ready with the intoxicating
draught.
The >. and C. Road.—It is now a
settled fret that the Augusta and Chat

rapidly as possible. The surveyors are
in the field, locating the line, and in a
very few days hundreds of hands will be
at work on the roadbed. If the people
along the line will hut do their duty,
there is no reason why the next crop of
Hall county cotton may not be moved by
it. Longer roads and roads more difficult
to build than this, have been built in
less than twelve months, and we can see no
reason why this one. cannot be, if the in

Visit to Oconee Street School—The
node of Teaching—Visitors, Etc.
If there is a man in Athens who is op
posed to public education, and will pay a
visit to one of our city schoots, he will
certainly be converted, unless his heart
is hardened against all appeals to its
noblest sentiments. .
Yesterday Prof. Branson met us ou
Broad street and iuvited us to accompany
him to the Oconee street school. As we
had a few leisure moments we reidily
consented. During our short walk we
gleaned the following information in re
gard to our city schools. There are 901
pupils enrolled, and of this number the
avenge attendance last month is 94)£
per cent., which is an unusual fine show
ing. Fifty per cent of our school popu
lation is now in attendance on these city
schools, but the average is 60 per cent
This is owing to the fact that some little
prejudice exists among certain of our
citizens about sending their children to
free schools, hut it is fast wearing off,
and almost daily the number increases.
There are still vacancies in all the rooms.
This prejudice is very foolish, and any
one who will vist these schools and ex
amine into their workings, will see that
the system adopted at them is not only
an improvement on the old plan of teach
ing, but that children are given every
care and attention that a parent could be
stow.
It was recess when we reached the
building where the Oconee street
school is tanght, and the grounds
were filled with little tots—the boys on
one side and the girls on the other, a
plank fence separating the sexes. The
children are marched out in single file
and formed into several lines. At a com
mand from the teacher they break ranks
ai.d are instantly scattered about the
grounds, engaged in play. ’Hie teachers
watch over them, and see that proper be
havior is observed. At play, as well ss in
the school-room, the chilren are trained
and controlled by kindness, and you never
hear a harsh word uttered. Thus far,in not
a single instance, has it been found nec
essary to inflict corporal punishment.
After a short recess the children are
again collected together in rows, and at
the third tap from a bell begin to slowly
file iDto their recitation rooms with tho
precision of soldiers.
The rooms are airy and well lighted
and modi Is of comfort and cleanliness.
There are rows of desks with folding
scats, and each child has its own place.
The room is kept at the proper tempera-
tare. The mode of teaching has already
been described in these columns, and it
is unnecessary to go over it again. We
visited several rooms, and were highly
entertained with both recitations and
vocal music. The voices of the chil
dren are carefully trained, and nothing
delights them more than to vary the
exercises with pretty little songs. But
the progress of these children is really
wonderful. Little boys and girls who a
few weeks ago did not know a letter in
the book, now not only spell and read
simple sentences that the teacher writes
on the blackboard, but reproduce the
words upon their slates, some in the
genuine Spencerian style. The progress
made by these children should be indeed
gratifying to their parents.
But the love and tenderness manifest
ed in these schools must indeed have
their effect on the future life of the pupil.
The little ones are made to feel at their
ease, and look upon the school-room with
pleasure instead of repugnance. The
mod* of teaching is so simple and pleas
ant, and such an air of freedom pervades
the room, that it is more like a play
ground than a place of study. Prof.
Branson knows every child in the school,
and as he passes among the desks has a
pleasant word for each. There is no
partiality shown here, for the children of
the rich and poor are treated exactly
alike. If any pupil is shown marked
attention, it is some little waif taken
from the street. We saw Prof. Branson
approach one such, and patting him on
the back, remark, after looking at his
slate, “ON you’ll make a man of your
self yet! Yon are doing nicely.” The
largo black eye, beaming with gratitude,
that the little fel'ow turned on his friend,
showed that his words fell in fruitful
soil.
We do not remember ever having spent
a more instructive or pleasant hour than
our visit to this schoo’, and we advise
our citizens, by all means, to avail them
selves of the kind invitation extended by
Prof. Branson and drop in and witness
the exercises. It is encouraging to the
children, and will certainly remove any
prejudice that may be entertained against
our free school system.
A Shack Eels in Athena Yesterday—
The Earth Still Trembling.
For three weeks past the earth in this
section has been quivering like slump
of jellcy, and at night frequent jars are
felt. Thursday night two slight shocks
were experienced in this city,- but they
were of short duration; butyesterday, at
11:55, there whs the severest shock felt
since the quake that wrenched tho city
of Charleston and swept over this sec
tion. The shock, while it lasted hut a
few seconds, jareed every building in
the city and window glass rattled. On
the campus it was particularly severe,
and the professors, and pupils heart
It ’ in the recitation rooms. No
damage, however, was done.
Greatly Excited.
Not a few of the citizens of Athens
have recently become greatly excited
over the astounding <acts, that several of
their friends who had been pronounced
by their physicians as incurable and be
yond all hope—suffering with that dread
ed monster Consumption—have been
completely cured by Dr. King’s New
Discovery for Consumption, the only
remedy that does positively cure all throt
and lung diseases, Coughs, Colds, Asthma
and Bronchitis.

Editors Bannf.r-Wati^iman: Now that
the interest in education in Athens is so
great, and the system of public schools,
a system that has been tried with suc
cess in other states of our country, has
been introduced, the thought has occur
red to those who are deeply interested
in the best interests of the young of this
city and state, that there should be con
nected witn the Lucy Cobb Institute a
Normal School, to accomplish for those
of its pupils who purpose making teach
ing their profession, what they are now
required to go from home and state to
secure. The Institute stands firmly es
tablished in the confidence of its patrons
and friends. The patronage of other
States proves that its reputation is not
confined to the boundaries of Georgia.
At no time since its opening did it hold
so high a place in the educational world
at large. Already more than eighty of
its pupils are employed as teaeders and
yearly this number will doubtless be
augmented.

There is a colored benevolent society
in Athens, composed la-gely of female
members, and known as the Good Sama
ritans, who are owners of a cemetery
in East Athens and it is the duty of its
members to relieve the distressed, nurse
the sick and bury the dead. Green Bul
loch is the head man in the society, and
has an unbridled influence over the fe
male members. Several years ago the
affairs of this society got in s jumble,
but Green came out victorious, and his
enemies asserted with the funds alio. It is
swell known fact that President Bulloch,
before he become the head of the Good
Samaritans, was as poor as the proverbial
church mouse; but he accumulated
wealth with the rapidity of the avenge
tourist to Canada, and built and stocked
a store at the upper bridge. Such thrift,
coupled with Green’s popularity with
the sisters in the society, made for him
_.any enemies, who have constantly
sought to overthrow him, but to no avail.
Wednesday night the Good Samaritans
hid their regular meeting at the Town
Hall and a savage attack was made up
on the President by hia enemies. The
meeting was turned into a regular wren-,
gle, and foratime things got so threaten
ing that the police were sent for to pre
serve the peace. Bulloch then proceeded
to settle things • according to his own
way, and organized two branches of the
Good Samaritans—giving his enemies
the empty honors and keeping. for him
self tte'books and cash.
It has been falling all day in a cold, per
sistent, disagreeable drizzle that causes
some people to congratulate thcmsel 8,
that it didn’t come sooner, and to declare
that the dust was preferable. The tem
perature is falling rapidly, and from gen
uine summer weather we are plunging
rashly into winter.
THE NATIONAL PRISON CONGRESS
is bringing a number of distinguished
personages to Atlanta, and much good is
expected from the present session alike
to the Association, and the system of
punishment in this section.
The National Prison Association was
chartered under the laws of the State of
New York in 1871 and among the char
ter members were such men as Horatio
Seymour, Theadore W. Dwight, Thoa-
dorc Roosevelt, Morris K. Jessup James
G. Blaine, Rutherford B. Hayes, and
Enoch C. Wines, D- D.
Upon the death of Dr. Wines in 1879,
the Association received a serious back
set and almost lost its existence. In
1883, however, it was reorganized, and
has since enjoyed a greater degree of
prosperity and accomplished more good
than ever before.
The aims of the Association, briefly
stated, are amelioration of criminal laws
and procedure; the improvement of
penal correctional and reformatory in
stitutions; and the care and treatment
of discharged prisoners.
It is desired to organize in each State
a branch iustitution. Eleven of the
States now have such associations, and
they prove of great benefit
The purpose of the National Associa
tion is not to favor or dictate any partic
ular system of imprisonmeu tor punish
ment, hut to bring together for the com
mon good the best thought and .expert
ence of every section.
The officers are President, Hon. Ruth
erford B. Hayes, Ohio. Secretary, Wil
liam M. F. Round, New York City.
Treasurer, Morris K. Jesup, New York
City, together with nine Vice Presidents
and nineteen directors representing dif
ferent States, Col. J. H. EstiU, of Sav
annah, is the Georgia director.
The opening session was held tonight
at DeGive’s Opera House and was largely
attended.

SAVANNAH
The Athens post-office, under the able
management of Capt W. B. Burnett, is
in a highly prosperous condition, and be
fore the end of the first year, we confi
dently expect to see it made a second-
class office and given additional advan
tages. Besides paying the entire ex
penses of the offiefe and the route agents'
salaries, the Postmaster turned over to
the government $461, and this, too, exclu
sively from the sale of stamps and
stamped envelopes. ThU was the larg
est sum ever cleared by this office in a
single month, and speaks well for the
zeal and management of Capt. Burnett.
This gentleman is untiring in his efforts
to build up the business of the office.

PROTECTING PLANTERS.
Am Excellent Bill Introduced In the
Georgia Legislature.
Mr. Albert Henley,.arisingyounglaw-
yer of this city,. came into our office
early yesterday morning with a .copy of
the Banneb-Watchman in his hand and
remarked:
“I see here that Mr. Brady, of Sumter
■county, has introduced in the legislature
an act to allow purchasers of fertilisers
to plead failure of consideration, and I
hope that the B.-W. will publish ah edi
torial endorsing the same.”
“Isn’t farmers allowed to plead failure
of consideration?” we asked.
“Not for fertilixera. Where they sign a
piano note it must be met, it matters not
f the contents of the sacks prove to be
only perfumed sand. . The law contends
that the inspector's certificate is all . the
guarantee the buyer needs. The conger
quence is, some gnano dealers pat off
goods two and three years old on their
customers, from which all the fertitixihg
properties have vanished-. This ma
nure is not worth as much as leached
ashes, and yet the farmer is made to
pay thepriceofthe best and first-class ma
nures, and he has no redress through the
courts. Hence I assert that Mr. Brady’a
hill is a protection for obr agriculturists
against fraud that justice demands they
should have.” • ' "•

June 27.1881.—I have been familiar for
a number oi years with the general
character of Prof.Horsford’s phosphatic
preparations. Recent examinations
made hy me of the “ Acid Phosphate”
and “ Bread Preparation, ’ show them-
to be exactly what is claimed for them
in thecirculars accompanying the pack
ages. The “ Acid Phosphate” is a con
centrated solution in water of Acid
Phosphate of Lime. The “ Bread Pre
paratlon" is a mixture of Acid Phos
phate of Lime, carbonate of soda and
Sour. When mixed with water, carbonic
acid gas is liberated and a double phos
phate of lime and soda is formed and
remains in the bread when baked. In
ordinary cream ct tartar baking powders
the substance left in the bread after
“raising” is rochelle salts—a double
artrate of soda and potash. The phos
phates are useful mineral substances in
animal nutrition and growth, the tar-
rates are not. In my opinion, the
! ihosphatic Powder is, therefore pre.
ferable to the other, eo far as health is
concerned. H. C WHITE.

Sheriff.
Yesterday morning the Sheriff closed
the furniture house of E. G. Maxwell,
on Thomas street, at the instance
of the Empire Furniture and Lmber
Company, of Nashville, Tenn., to whieh
firm he Is indebted for his stock. Messrs.
Edge, Dorsey & Co. bought the entire
stock at a reduced price, and to-day ad
vertise it at a great bargain. Maxwell
came to Athens several months ago, and
opened a small furniture store on Thomas
street. As he did not advertise in the
Banner-Watchman, but few. people
knew that there was a furniture store in
that part of tho city, and hence his busi
ness was small, not paying expenses.
