TO OUR OCONEE FRIENDS.
Our neighboring county of Oconee is
now on the verge of a great boom. By
neSt summer the Macon A Athens rail
road w'B be in operation, and pass di
rectly th *ough it. The people arc en
thused over their prospect, and p*opcrty
of every kind is advancing in value. New
towns are being mapped out, and Wat-
kinsville is awakening from the doze she
has been in s : ncc the dismemberment of
ohl Clarke county, and is taking on a new
lease of life. Not only the undivided
mtluence of the Banner-Watchman,
but the untiring energy of its proprieto s,
ha*e been at work fo** more than two
years to secure this ra^road for Oconee
and our own city of Athens, anti it is
with no small degree of pride that we
now see that end in sight Oconee is
eally allied to Clarke—being formed
of a rib taken from hcr.side—and the in
terest of the two sections are closely
*'nked together. For several years the
Banner-Watchman has been the official
organ of Oconee, anti ha: worked as earn
estly for the prosperity of that county as
for Clarke itself. Oer paper has stood
shoulder to shoulder with the people i*i
m »re than one heated ha* lie for good
government and morality, and if cithc
th»s paper or its editors have a single ca
nny in the county, we are not aw at
it. On the other hand, our warmest
friends reside there. We are determined
to retain the hold our paper has upon
these people, if devotion to their inter
ests and the expi n.bng of every effort f»
the advancement of their property rnd
that of their section will count as any
thing. Wc say this to aur Oconee friends:
We ask you to stand by the Havn'kk-
Watciimax as faithfully as the Banv'k :-
Watciiman has stood l»y you. When
ever the people think that they can sus-
ta'na paper of their own, and desire an
other orgijn than the one now selected by
their officers, we will have something
more to say upon the subject,
ALEXANDER AND RAOCL.
Gen. Alexander is a man of brilliant
parts ami a variegated career. No man
lias reached such climaxes or receded to
such extremes. He has a luminous and
creative faculty; is a better man to de
sign great enterprises than to master an
army of details. After the war, from
which he emerged with the artillery
>*ars on his collar, lie commenced Vfe
quietly in Wilkes county where the
Itead of that remarkable family lived, j
Like Gladstone be spent much of his?
time with the ax in the forest, lie wa:.
elected to a professorship in the Colum- |
bin College, and finally became general 1
manager of the West Point and Mont
gomery Railroad. From this position he
was called in ls7s to the Presidency of*
the Georgia Railroad, being elected in a
hot tight over Hon. Jofin P. King. The
Athens influence was exerted in a body
and solid block for Gen. Alexander.
His sudden elevation to the position^o"
Vice President and General Manager o f
the Louisville A- Nashville is a loader
of graphic recall; he was engineered out
of the position in one of the New York
deaks of this road, and suffering more or
less financially from the depression of
all Southern stock at that time, wa* final
ly elected at Mr. Wadley’s death to the
Presidency of the Central Railroad by
the directory of that corporation. He
was beaten at the ensuing stockholder's
election, however, l»y Capt. Raoul, the
| former’s debenture policy by which his
j party sought to capitalize the Ocean
Steamship Company's stock, over Mr
Wadley’s protest, wot king to Gen. Al
exander’s overthrow, Gen. Alexander
was assailed in that canvass as a* wreck
er” and ""speculator." .Since this l ine
he has not been in active railroad woik.
He is 9 government director in the Cnion
Pacific Railroad, and is oue of the com
missioners of the new State Capitol of
Georgia. \ >f late,Gen.Alexander has spent
much time on his Island, off Georgetown,
on the Caiolina coa*t. He is a man of
broad culture and charming personal
qualities. He is intellectual and re
sourceful—a man of genius and magne
tism. With Alexnuder as President aad
planner, and Raoul as Superintendent
ami balance wheel, the ^tate Would
have a combination which would hold
the Central against any combination or
against all invasions. It is a pity they
cannot he combined.
T
The committee appointed by the Legis
lature to visit t le TJuiversUy of Georgia
and inspect the hui’dings, have perform
ed that duty thoroughly and have agreed
to favor an appropriation of five thousand
dollars for the purpose of repair. T lis
amount is absolutely necessary. To
have made it smaller would have been to
render hopeless any adequate improve
ment this year. To put the college build
ings and private residences in good, com
fortable condition, would really require a
much larger amount than this commitee
have promptly and generously agreed
upon. The demand upon the lecture
halls, sleeping apartments and professor’s
homes is growing every year, aad the
State should take a pride in seeing that
the campus is kept in the very best re-
pa : r. The University is Jbe child of the
State. Her advancement is the advance
ment of the State; her impairment is the
disgrace of the State. The State of
Georgia is now and always has been in
the debt of the College, and if the con-
d\’on of the treasury does not now per
mit a generous endowment, the interest
of a w ise economy at least demands that
this property ho preserved in good repair
so that the college may hold fast to wl t
she has.
Wi: learn that the charter of the Geor
gia, Carolina and Northern Railroad, now
hung up before' the Senate Commifiee,
will not get through without a fight.
The opposition seems to have transferred
its power to the summer house and wi 1 !
oppose it in committee room and on the
floor. We '.rust the chatter will be
granted promptly and entirely. The
prospects for the building of this road
are very bright, and the terminal facili
ties which will be guaranteed under the
terms of the grant, white valuable, are
essential and fair. We do not ask any
more for the new line from the Georgia
Railroad,than we would ask for the Geor
gia,or than the Stale actually granted the
Georgia when it was incorporated.
Concressman Frank Help, of Ohio,
is spending a few days in New York. He
does not seem at all depressed over his
defeat for Congress; in fact, when he
went into Die race he believed that the
chances were against him. He does not
regat d the late elections as by any means
favorable to the Republicans, and says
that he never knew the Demociatic party
to In* ir a better condition than it is today.
"T’resident Cleveland is growing »n
strength every day," said Mr. Hurd, “and
I kn<*w a number of persons who voted
for Blaine who would next time vote for
Clcv« land. He has the confidence of the
mnsscsuud the hi siness people, and there
| is no question in my timid but that he
| w ill he renominated and elected.”

Georgia penitentiary, they are rare.
***
The staid old Presbyterian Church
seems to be having a lot of trouble. The
agitation of the evolution theory has
broken up the seminary at Columbia, atid
is yet creating discord among the synods
of the church. The final adjustment of
the question yet remains and the
Louis Assombly will finally decide for
ever this momentous question. The ma
jority of the ministers seem lobe against
the evolution idea, but the lay porion of
the church is seriously disturbed. Of
course it is impossible to make a state
ment, but a great many good Presbyte
rians are outspoken in their belief in the
theory of evolution. It is perhaps well
that this discussion has arisen in the
Presbyterian Church, for the reason that
it is prepared to decide it better than any
other religious body. Its ministry is
composed of men learned in Biblical lore,
trained theologians, dispassionate reason-
e-: r—not apt to let unbridled passion get
away with the calm and mature judg
ment It is unfortunate for the church
that the Converse suit has grisen just now,
but its investigation will no doubt result
in good. The Presbyterians are fearless
and are 'he fiist to air questionable trans
actions in their ranks.
Speaking about evolution reminds me.
the first discussion of this scientific the
ory by a religious body occurred years
ago in Trail Creek Baptist Church, not
many miles from Athens. Darwin and
Huxley had not written, Herbert Spen
cer had not given his marvelous works
to the world. The doubt arose in the
mind of an untutored and even ignorant
countryman. He somehow or other, ar
rived at the conclusion that the Creator
had less to do with Adam than was
taught. As we all know every human
being has in or about the centre of the
stomach a physical indentation, or other
wise that at one time was a part of the
tender bond of affection that linked it to
i s mother parent. It mat. erg not what’s
the name. Now this unle* tered boor pro
pounded to the church one day the qu^s
rion, "Did Adam have one?” The min
ister, nOi thinking, answered yes where
upon his interiocutor excla'mcd, “what
need did he have one if he w-as made di
rect from the dust? If he had oi.e it show
ed he had a mother, if he didn’t he was
not a perfect man. and I won’t be de
scended from such a mons rosity.” The
The upshot of the matter was that the
church divided—there was a party who
believed Adam had one. and there was a
strong following whe claimed that he
didn’t Different meeting houses were
erec'eu, and while their creed essentially
remained the oaroe, the two theories in
regards to Adam were stubbornly main
tained. This occurrence was a positive
happening and its tnuh is vouchsafed by
eminent respectability. After all it was
a very material point in the evidence and
the world would be much wiser to-day
had Trail Creek settled the momentous
question.

i»xcmmon.
LEGISLATING FOR LABOR.
We are glad to note that some of our
State legislators are well disposed to
wards the labor interest, but we doubt
the practical value of measures drawn to
better this element in Georgia.
Ambitious bills have been introduced
in the house to limit the hours of labor
and nnd to establish by law the practice
and p "nciphts of nrbitiai'on. We can
not see that such laws \v>M be of coy
r-*al value.
The hours of labor cannot be buiited.
save as the laws health on ihc one
side dictate ami the state of trade re
quires. It would bo idl ‘ to dictate to
the lawyer, the farm Land or the cleric
the limit of Ids exertion in bis own or
his clients cr hi* employer s behalf. The
law which reduces the hours of labor
j must cut down the wage of the
I workman. And as to aridiiution, the
law which puls capi al under the ban
j of outride interference and subjects it
| constantly to such influence# just dimin
ishes to that extent the tendency of cap
ita 1 to build factories and to employ
workmen, it is a constant invitation for
men to strike and constant menace to
the right of capital to manage its
own bus ness.
As to the employment of little chil
dren in workshops, this matter should
be left to parent and proprietor. The
one is actuated by affection and the other
by expediency. Between the two the
welfare of the child and the humanities
of the case will be consoived.
Thr frightful double tragedy in At-
int is a lesson for or against prohibition
re have not decided which. It is cer-
linly a terrible temperance dis
burse. We do not remember to
kte heard of more atragic affair. The
lunger of the two victims was a graduate
the University, class of’76, and was a
ight and popular boy. No member of
tat class gave brighter promise or had
lore friends than Robert Hill.
^Prohibition hoes not seem to he work-
(aswell in Atlanta as its advocates
kised. Yesterday’s Constitution con-
several stories of crimes, horrors
accidents,- all of which are d : rectly
[ibutnble to whisky. The horrible
dj of the two Hill jrothers, the tor-
k death of the drunken negro in the
, and' the drunken debauche of the
_nagers of the South Atlanta polls,

nuat make abetter showing than

be led into temptation.
Many of our people recollect the La-
mr.r. —a charming family whose hand
some iiofi.e on Prince Avenue was of
\he rendezvous of the young people fo.:d
of social entertainment and gayeiy. One
of the daughters of »he house, now a
s-p’d and dignified matron, bids fair to
be the wife of a United States Senator.
Her husband, Hon. George Rainey,siands
an excellent chance io succeed “Detroit
•loee»n the Florida senatorship.
The end of Jones career is in many
lespects curious. The man is said to
have been brainy, something of an ora
tor and statesman enough to hold his
own with credit in a body where Sher
man and Yoorhees were typical leaders.
And yet In* threw away every opportu
nity in the fruitless search of an unre
quited affection. Since the Senator has
failed in marrying*her for whom heuave
up all. ho has taken to ogling the Detroit
shop girls as they trip the streets* in the
early morning on their way to their
work.
Some one was saying that there had
never been a bar-room on Broad street in
this city. But the oldest inhabitant rose
to his feet and denied the statement He
ri'ed two instances in the long ago.
The “oldest inhabitant” said,
howeyer, there had never been a bar
room on the south side of Broad, and
furlhermoie there would never be one,
for the reason that the land wan sold
originally by the college and the deed
j stipulated that no liquor should be sold
on the premises.
***
r l he ""oldest inhabitant” is a very inter
esting chaiactor anywhere, particularly
so here, lb* has no patience with him
self. and is constantly calling his venera
ble frame bad urines. Why should he
refer to himself as a Jog? .Strange, isn't
it! 1 made up my mind to solve the
mystery and I di l so. There is a flavor
of romance and something else about it.
Gf course it dales back a long time.
Georgia owed allegiance to the crown,
and Tomichichi was a strapping young
man. John Calvin Johnson had not
married but sixty-two couples. Like
aH mysteries there was a woman in it,
and a rough pencil sketch of her face is
yet fading away in the misty darkness of
a hair covered trunk. Onions! As
wholesome a vegetable as onions caused
the lifelong misery of two faithful hearts.
And to quote his own words, “I quit
keeping company with her because she
wou d keen a-eat'ng onions, a id there is
not a man in town today who loves them
bener now than me. 1 am a dog, that is
whal l am.”
the labor question will be discussed
in an honest and practical coun
sel upon the mutual interests of the
great productive resources of the coun
try; all of which must prosper or suffer
together. In point of fact legislation is
practically powerless to attain a tithe of
what labor demaids, but it can and
should do much to hotter the relations
of employers and employed. The ten
dency of the best men of the labor ele
ment is conservative.
The investigating committee has
pushed its work before the General As
sembly with vigor and good faith. Th e
inquest is proceeding methodically. So
far, only minor points have been devel
oped, disclosing the presence before the
last Legislature of a Georgia marble in
terest with attorneys and agents, and the
proofs of a commendable amount of
newspaper advertising. The bribery
hasn’t yet been developed.
The bill introduced by Senator David
son, increasing the pay of Supreme Court
judges from $3,000 to $4,000, and of Su

of these high officials is reproachably
small. The spocUcle of a $10,000 law

to believe that the majority of young

the street car about matters "before the
war" asked me the other day what was
the secret of the longevity of kite Jews?
I felt immensely flattered by the ques
tion and was '.oath to confess roy inah li-
tv to answer it. What was my surp e
when be said ".’11 teU you.” Fixing s
fingers so that he the thumbs and fore
fingers formed a parallelogram, he said
"because they don’t eat pork. sir. Pork
is the preat American dish, and is the
cause of the thousand and one ills that
life is heir to. Bismarck showed his
statesmanship when he refused to permit
the importation of American pork. Ar
mour & Company are the great national
enemy of the land.” He continued in
this strain for some time, and finally re
sumed the original topic. "1 have lived
in this town many years, and never saw
a Jewish funeral; I don't doubt thaLsome
of the people of this extraordinary race
have died hera during the time but I can
notiecall a single instance.” It set me
to musing, and after thinking for awhile
1 could not recollect more than two or
three funerals of God's chosen people,
What a wonderful race! Years of perse
cution seem to serve but to briDg out in
bold relief their prom inent characteristics,
lie who thinks their capabilities are con
fined to the mere accumulation of wealth
is ignorant of the greatest names in state
craft law, music and philanthropy.

The colored fair so recently closed : n
this city illustrated in a striking manner
the general improvidence of the colored
people. The exhibit was small, but
those who were concerned in the display
deserve credit for their enterprise, and
are to be congratulated upon the posses
sion of that which the race in general
is devoid of—a care for the morrow. The
negro is entirely and wholly improvi-
dent Ilis life is spent in the present,
his thoughts lever soar beyond the limit
of the day. l’erhaps this is the reason
he is generally so thoroughly hsppy.
Improvident people usually are save
when they arc aclua ly suffering from
their improvidence. It would seem that
tweHty years of freedom and citizenship
would have developed in them a de
sire for wealth and power, but with strik-
ing exceptions, it has not. Many today are
in a physical condition worse than that
of the slavery from which they were
emancipated. No doubt the intelligent
among them endeavor to stimulate them,
but ambition does not appear to ronse
them to the peril of their s-tuation. One
of the reasons why an ambitious colored
man lo ms up above his Yellows is not
because of any striking characteristic he
may possess, hut because he is so much
above the common herd of his race.
There are many white men who are the
equals of Douglass and Bruce in Intel-
lcc.ual attainments who are not known
beyond the hamlet in which they live,
and yet Douglass and Bruce are so im
measurably superior to the rest of their
kind that they tower above them in ma
jestic proportions.

I traveled once in a sleeping car be
tween Lynchburg and Washington with
Kx-Senator Bruce, «nd was more than
surprised to find him a man of fine un *
standing and correct ideas. In poin'
refinement, so far as it was shown by iis
conversation and manners, he was the
equal of anv one I ever saw. Though
at the time he was occupying a high po
sition under the Secretary of the Trea -
ury, he was not officious or puffed up
with the idea of his own importance.
The conversation turned upon the educa
tion of his deople, and he entertained
some very sensible^views upon the sub
ject. As near as I can remember at this
date he said that the colored man who
had made up his mind to attain some
thing in this world would surely accom
plish it. He referred to the fact that
those of his race who had achieve 1 the
greatest success had done so unaided.
And the conclusion was that while uni
versal education was a good thing, and
he was glad to his people had the benefit
of it, he was not prepared to say that it
would be the means of making
them better off in the world.

Only—Oi.Tyeiaad facially.
[New Yo kS.»r.J
Slavery has been abolished in name
and theory ail over the Union, aaya a re
cent London letter, but the p.eiudiqe
against b>s color is still at times very
painfully manifest. Hia whole life is a
battle with it, aod be is now here in
England for a rest aod in o-da- for a time
to escape from the stream which be is
always conscious of struggling against in
his own country.
At this point Mrs. Douglass, who is an
American lady, young and fair, puts in
her word for the honor of her country.
She gently gently reminds her husband
that long ago they traveled together 2,-
600 miles through the States, aad every
where Mr. Douglass met with kindness
and courtesy, Very cord>all'' be admits
it. Even oa the Hudso 1 steamboats,
where thirty years ago another who is
present testifies to his having been forci
bly ejected from the saloon in which he
had presumed to sit down to dinner with
his friends from England, though they
sat at a table by themselves, he was per
mitted in the course of this journey to
pass without any interference on account
of his color. Indeed, he htd a very
agreeab'e distinction. The colored wait
ers on board the vessel refused to take
h : s mo iey. He had done sc much
for them, they said, that his money
would not pass them. Yes, he lully re
cognized the change that toe had
brought, but nevertheless it was true
that within the past two years the mere
rumor that he had tauten a sitting in a
Presbyterian church of Washington
raised a ferment throughout the city,
and filled the newspaper with angry
and excited letters. This highly gifted
and heroic man, whom Abraham Lin
coln distinguished with iris friendship,
who has been marshal of the United
States, and has just retired from the po
sition of registrar of deeds for the Dis
trict of Columbia, who has edified and
owned influential newspapers, and in
whom a whole continent recignizes a
man of consummate ah-lity 'and stainless
integrity, has nevertheless a swarthy
sk'o, and he must not take a sitting with |
other Christians.
“And you are rea''y conscious of a
ffeient soc-al atmosphere here in Eng
land?’
“O dear, yes!” : s the ready response,
“entirely different I have in America
my own circle o-‘ friends, and my official
position has reduced friction or unp’.eas-
• )Loess to a minimum; but here in Eng
land there is no friction or unpleasant
ness. I am free, and I feel myself free,
and I fee myself free to asy where or to
miDgle in any society.”

O/e’UVe i b» An Angry Fafit.- at tbs Rail
way station.
fFrom th. New York Tlmn.l
Gocldv/v.lk, Pa., Nov. 21.—Just be
fore tbe arrival of the north-bound tra ; n
yesterday a roughly clad, big-whiskered,
strapping backwoodsman, accompanied
by a well d-essed and handsome young
woman not more than 16 years old, ar
rived at the station on foot in a state of
great trepidation. The man inquired of
the station Agent the time the next train
‘le't for York State,” and purchased a
ticket for Binghamton. He had scarcely
paid for it when a middle-aged man, hav
ing all tbe appearance of a prominent
aad prosperous citizen, drove up to the
station, his team of horses showing that
they had been driven hard. He hurried
to the ticket office, and was at once seen
by tbe young girl, who screamed loudly
aud tried to hide behind her companion
who turned pale as the middle-aged man
strode up and seized the screaming girl,
and tore her struggling away from the
rough-looking person to whom she tried
her best to cling. Although she begged
of him not to let her go, he made no re
sistance to the effort to separate them.
In the meantime the train came in, and
some friends of the young man, who was
Samuel Layton, a farm hand, learning
that he was endeavoring to elope with
the daughter of his employer, James Mill
er, a rich fanner, living five miles from
here, made a rush to rescue the girl from
her father, who was hurrying her away.
A railway police officr, and a vi;’agecon
stable, with others, took sides ith Far
mer Miller, and in the commotion that
followed he succeeded in gei’ing his
daughter to a house near by where she
was locked in a room. Miller th-'n swore
out a warrant for the arrest of Layton 01
the charge of abducting bis daughter,
but before the warrant could be served
Layton had disappeared and could not be
found. A number of his friends were ar
rested and held on cha. ges of assault and
aiding in the abduction. When Miss Mil
ler learned that Layton had fled and left
her to her fate she denour.ced him round
ly and returnd quietly home with her
father. She is an only child and w-ll
educated. Layton is an illiterate and
worthless fellow.
KILLSHIS HORSE.
Banter Wad. Hampton, the Veteran
Iportiman, Shoots Hia Own Horae.
We all remember some years ago the
accident which happened to General
Wade Hampton when he was out deer
hunting, and the mule he was riding
throwing him and breaking his leg, which
was afterwards amputated and came near
causing his death. It seems that the
General's ill luck still pursues him in the
chase. A dispatch was received yester
day from Mississippi, where Hampton is
visiting, conveying intelligence of a sin
gular but fortunately not serious accident
to the Senator while hunting deer on
his plantation in that State, on the 15th
instant. -
The Senator and a party of young men
went out hunting on that day, and during
the afternoon Senator Hampton became
separated from the party. While riding
through the woods where vines were
very thick his gun was caught by a vine
and given such a severe jerk that it was
discharged, the load ef buckshot entering
the back of his horse’s head, killing him
instantly. The dead animal fell upon
Geh. Hampton, buthe managed with some
difficulty to extricate himself.
In the meantime the rest of tbe hunt
ing party, supposing that Senator Hamp
ton had given up the huntand gone home,
deserted the field, but upon arriving at
the house of the Senator found he was
not there. At 8 o’clock that evening, as
Hampton had not put in an appearance,
a party was about to start in search of
him when the Senator walked up very
much exhausted, but not seriously hurt.
He had been walking for four solid hours.
It was a considerable distance from
where he had killed his horse to his
home, and walking in his disabled condi
tion through the woods had been very
trying and fatigueing.
A Mot# In the Sight Direction.
[Savannah Neva]
The Legislature has now before it the
question of providing a method for equal-
izing and securing fair i-ssessments. The
bill of Ur. Calvin, of Richmond, nresents
the question. Tha pm uost of tl e bill is
good, and if passed ir may ac omplish
the object aimed at It proviv.es for
hoard of equalization ir. each county. It
is for the Legislature io decide whether
or not this is the best way to insure equal
and fair assessments.
It would make you laugh, too, if you wo ild go down to
EDGE, DORSEY & CO’S.
And sve the immense stock they have. Never was there such afine and
well selected line of
FURNITURE
In Athens before. The holiday trade has not been forgotten, Goods of
the very prettiest designs are there and arriving daily, and what -will
please you more, you never saw such astonishing low prices. It ia
well worth your time to visit their store. • nov2Sd&wtf.
