Clarke Howell in Athens the occasion of congratu lations among Ids friends. It is credita ble and honorable to Mr. Howell that on,, of his first exertions n the House should be in bel»a ,f of 1- n'lna iraier. He is one of the most popu'arand useful young members of the General Assembly. Senator Wade IIamtton should g»ye up deer hunting. lie lost a leg several years ago by falling from a mule, and last Monday killed his horse by the acci dental discharge of his gun. a*»d sus tained a severe fall from the animal crippling his other bmb. Judoe Kkm.v, of Pennsylvania, the ‘"Father of the House of Representa tives,” sets out on Monday next for a tour of the iron belts of Alabama and Tennessee. It is a notable pilgrimage, and the country is cert; in to enjoy the fruits of it in taritf debates of the Fif tieth Congress. The Savannah News pertinently re marks: “A hill has been introduced into the General Assembly to have four addi tional trustees to the State University elected by the State Horticultural Soci ety. Is there not some danger of run ning this trustee? business into the ground?” Mr. II. J. Hill, representative from Wilkes county, has introduced a bill in House to make it a misdemeanor to potato money, goods or chattels under a abor contract without complying with 'such contract. The Washington Gazette thinks this hill smacks too greatly of im prisonment for debt. It is said on good authority, says the Augusta Chronicle, in spite of all the •‘predictions,” that tf an election wer held tomorrow, Cnpt. Raoul would he elected President of the Central Company. Gen. Alexander's success really depends upon the ability of Ids friend* to buy enough shares to fill up the gap. Money talks. The Atlanta Constitution believes that the recent deal in Richmond and Dan ville will stimulate rather than retard the building of the Georgia, Carolina and ■ Northern. If the Baltimore A: Ohio is Jfck of the Richmond and Danville, the i nnsylvania Central will be obliged to §k\e its own line to the South. 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.” enjoy the Uble wonders sad delights I far more tfesn the prime sad rigor of youth. Appop!exy*a victims are oftener over fifty than they are under fortv, and a man is said to be old at forty-six. In stances are recorded where men have died from overwork, but outside the 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. JACKSON COUNTY. fHeimld.)

GORDON, Governor o! said St* te. «• General Grant’s widow and sons de- ftrve credit for their determination to leet out of the proceeds of the sale of is hook every claim against the estate it the General for which there is the east shadow of foundation. The Grant’s ave been well pensioned and should do his much in respect to the General’s nemory.

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.

The prohibition- nuat make abetter showing than triumph jit the 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 perior Court Judges fiom $2,000 to $3,- 000 should become a law. The salary of these high officials is reproachably small.

As Col.

And the Colonel would he about right. The paragraph above com pliments in a singularly delicate way the hostler of Gaines’ livery stable. It as cribes to him the irresistible gentleness and enticing playfulness of the modern hotel maid, and appeals to the pocket- book of the" table keeper by the flatter ing mention of his establishment as a restaurant The native resources of Texas are represented as large, almost inexhaustible, with a local press gifted with such celicacy of expression the peo ple of that Stale must he singularly cul tured. *** The Augusta Chronicle is often given 11editorials upon gastronomic subjects. Itr. gifted editor believes there is no in spiration like that derived, from the juices of the Maryland terrapin, and for otdinary purposes is willing to recom mend barbecued shoat. The recent death of a’young journalist has set bim to moralizing upon his favorite theme, and the conclusion is arrived at that too many of our young men are killing them selves by overeating and overwork. The two comb'ned is rather a dangerous combination, but our experience leads us to believe that the majority of young men have few opportunities to indulge in the one, and but little inphna. ion to do the other. Gluitony is essentially the vice of the very young and the old. The middle age seldom indulge to excess. The infant surfeits its stomach with' m>lk and with surprising readiness re lieves itself by natural process—the old Tae gentleman who invariably talks in 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.

[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.” BREAD PREPARATION THE BEST BAKING POWDER IN THE WORLD, Is made by Prof. Horsford’s process, the only process that produ a baking powder of nutritive value. r UCe * It supplies the nutritious and strength-giving phosphates reonl—j by the system. 4 ,,fd ANNOUNCEMENTS. corn: 4a6c lb.

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.
