STATE FINANCES. The treasurer's report is gratifying and encouraging. Balance in Treasure Oct. LAtM, $484,15)0.73. Balance in Tress uryOetL 1886,1850,927.00. Itisestima- tetl that the present rate of taxation will bqjwoqgh tdfecet all exposes and loav** AhManceJqVe Treasury Oct. 1, 1880 of $51^,887.93. Got. McDaniel reviews the bond transaction' of last yesr, showing that the sale of 4)4 per cent bonds had been effected, in a manner which has ma terially improved the credit of the Slate and has largely reduced the annual in terest; no commissions have been paid in the sale of these bonds. The beneficial effects of the transaction have been felt, not only in appreiation of the State’s credit, hut municipal and private credit have been unproved. Since the State loan, and in consequence of it, one of our cities which has eight per cent bonds outstanding, has recently sold 4)$ 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 trict—Resolution to convene with the 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 the rules of the last Senate of t'.rce until others may he adopted, Carri -d. M essage from the House wa ' received, notifying the Senate of the a; pointment of a committee of five from that body, to act with committee from Sena e in noti fying the Governor that bo'h Houses were ready for.husuiSsa,,.,, ..... . Mr. Dean, of the 42d district—“As a member of the committee appointed by. the Senate to wait on the Governor, I 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. ' PENITENTIARY.

This settlement gives joy to the mill men and satisfaction to the operatives. The Presidents are disposed to he gen erous, and it is said they will soon volun tarily reduce working hours to ten per day. Committeeman Wright made a public address at 8 o’clock tonight at the thea tre, before the largest audience ever teen in Augusta Prominent mill men and manufacturers and Knights had seaL on the stage. Mr. Wright explained the agreement point hy point, and spoke on 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.

Its Organization In Atlanta—The Men Who May Attend- Lobbying In the last Legislature—A Sensation Unfolding In Atlanta. Atlanta, Nov. 6.-[Special.] Atlanta has rain at last. True it is not such 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 tanooga railroad will he built, and gs 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 stallments are paid by the ^stockholders promptly when called for.—Gainsville Eagle.

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.

Shall It Be Turned lute a Normal School V 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. THE GOOD SAMARITANS. kiMtob. inaugurated. Adopted. The Superior Courts. THE HOUSE..

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. LOBBYING IN THE LKGISLATUBK. A double leaded editorial in the-Con stitution this morning charging the pres ence of “lobbying” and “rascality,” and “pud attorney” in the legislature, has caused something of a sensation here.

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. On Monday next the morning’s mail will leave Athens on the fast train, in stead of the 9 o’clock train.

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.” • ' "• ■■f'- f THE NEW MILL Taylor Brotbcra nave Ordered Out Tbeir Machinery from the West- Mr. R.

Office ot S’ate Chemist.—Athens, Ga 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.
