All communications snould oe addressed to A REVENUE REFORMER. Some time in October, during the ad journed term of Oconee Superior Court, Hon H. H Carlton addressed the people of that county upon the political issues of the day. Among other things, he touched upon the necessity for a revision of the tariff and took a strong and decided stand iu favor of it, especially in the interest of the agricultural classes In reading tho message of President Cleveland wo wore struck by tho identity of his views upon this subject, with those expressed by Hr. Carlton, in his Watkinsville speech. They are undoubtedly both on the same platform, and it is a sound one. It is' gratifyinc to the conatituents of ’>r. Carlton to know that the position he took bofore the people in his canvass, is en dorsed by the President The adminis tration will find in him a firm supporter in its efforts to revise the tariff and re duce the burden upon the farming classes. Tho democratic party is com mitted to tariff reform, for it is the party of the people. The republicans are the allies of the monopolists, and the future alignments of the two parties on this issue will be sharply drawn. We ap plaud our cong -*ssman for his straight forward and sensible course upon this question, and will support his efforts to lessen the burdens of tho people by a substantial reduction of taxation. No friend of the people can be an advocate of a high tariff. Every dollar taken out of the products of the people by a pro tective tariff, goes into the swollen cof fer* of monapoli8ts without benefit to the government Whenever a duty is ikia'd high enough to make it absolutely ] rohihitory, no revenue is produced, hut the protected man is enriched, and it is always at the expense of the great body of tiie consumers. As l)r. Carlton said in his speech above referred to, the Southern farmer pays a tax in the shape of import duty on eve rything he buys, but gets no return, foT his cotton crop is not and cannot be pro tected by any duty. This is his market crop, and when he sells it a turns around to buy ho has to pay increased prices for everything he needs from a shingle nail or a bar of iron to the hat and shoes on his head and feet This increase in price is the direct result of the duty put on these articles by the tariff, and is taken out of the pockets of the farmer and added to the profits of the mannfacturers. Its injustice is glaring. It is a burden laid upon the large poor class for the benefit of the favored few. Such is the tariff in its present shnpc, and we give God-speed to all who arc engaged in the effort to revise it. Last week there was buried on the banks of the Etowah, in Bartow county, one of the most popular and one of the truest men in Cherokee Georgia. The soul of generosity, he lived for hia fam ily and his frieuds. His warm heart beat in sympathy with his neighbors, and it is doubtful if he had an enemy in the county. Hundreds of people in this State have visited him at his place on Etowah Heights, and have felt his genial hand-clasp and enjoyed his sunny pres ence. All of these sympathise with the family of Capt. Charles T. SheUman in his death, and mourn the loss of a knight ly spirit and Christian gentleman. The movement in behalf of direct trade in this State has attracted wide attention. Col. Thomas P. Stovall, who is working for the London Exposition, in Atlanta and Augusta, has aroused deep interest in his work. A proper display of Geor gia products in England wouid bring ont more men like Worthington and interest syndicates from the old country in this State. When England is once interested in the South, lines of steamships from our ports to British harbors would quick ly follow. If possible, the tax rate of the State should be maintained at its present fig ure. If there is any doubt that the ex penses of the State will exceed the amount raised they should be cut down The increase of taxation on tho heels of short crop would be burdensome and disheartening. It is the example as much as the actual amount raised, and we trust if possible, the present rate will be made to answer. The railroad commmittee has reported favorably upon the hill confirming the charter of the Macon and Covington Railroad. To have done otherwise would have been short-sighted and sui cidal. The men who have put their faith in the promise of the State to grant them rights under the general raoilroad law should not be trifled with. The State was bound to keep the faith with them and has done so. The best thing gotten off in the rail road meeting was by Col. Bryant, of Lo- gansville. “Gentlemen,” said he, look ing at Gen. Hoke and Mr. Smith, with eyes swimmiag in tears, and his broad cloth coat wrinkled by eloquent gestures, “our lands and our pockets are open to pou. All you have to do is to come in and go through them." Logansville deserves a depot. OLD-TIME LAWS. AN INTEBESTING CASE IN OLD CLARKE. The directors of the Columbia Theo logical Seminary having again failed to secure the resignation of Dr. Woodrow,, have passed a resolution summarily re moving him from his professorship. Dr. Weodrow has refused all along to resign, as that would be an admission of his error. (kerl9k Held Responsible for the Safe- Xeeplng of Prisoners-^The Oconee County Jail--An Intereitlnx Story of Long Ago. Yesterday meming a B.-W. reporter was oat on a still bunt for locals, when chance led him into the room of Uncle Calvin Johnson, in the Franklin House building. Uncle Calvin was sitting in front ef a good fire toasting his shins, and gave the visiting scribe a kind wel come. In reply to a request to give the history of the imprisonment and release of John Tatty from the Clarke county jail in 1838, the old gentleman replied: “Yes, 1 remember John Tatty well, for I clerked for him before I was elect ed Clerk of Court, and when he mer chandised at Salem, in what is now Oco nee connty. He was a kind, genial gen tleman, and as honest as the day is long. He did a good business, and made money, for in those days you could credit any one, for everybody paid their debts. But unfortunately John Tatty decided to open a branch of his business at the Brick Store, in Newton county, and put in charge of it George Bovce, a young man he brought out from New York. I had no confidence in Boyce, for I once heard him say that every man had bis price and no woman was virtuous, and cautioned Mr. Tatty against entrusting so much to him. My advice soon prov ed correct, for Boyce gambled away and squandered his employer's property and Tatty foynd himself insolvent There was a law imprisoning for debt then in vogue, and among Tatty’s creditors was Older Neal, to whom he owed abont $4, 000. He was taken with a bail writ ar.d confined in the debtors’ room of the present jail of Oconee county, which is up-stairs. Capt James Hendon, grand father to Mrs. Isaac Lowe, of Athens, and one of the best and most honest men 1 ever knew, was sheriff, and Richard E. Burke, father to Rev. John W. Burke, of Macon, the jailor. I gave Mr. Tatty employment in jail to copy official papers for me, and furnished him with writing material and a table. The prisoner cl'mbed up on the table and succeeded in cutting a hole through the inner walls of the jail. His friends from the outside cut another, and through this Tatty ef fected his escape, and went to Alabama, where he died in about eighteen months. There was then a law in Georgia that held the sheriff responsible for the safe keeping of a prisoner, unless he was re leased by the the act of God nr the King’s enemies. Mr. Neal began suit against Capt. Hendon to recover the amount of the debt that he had lost by the escape of Tatty. The defendant was not very well represented, and judgment was found against him for the full amount of Tatty’s debt. Capt. Hendon died before the claim was settled and the estate di vided among his children. But they were made to give up the property to settle an obligation for which their father was in no way responsible. In less than twelve months the supreme court ren dered a decision in direct opposition to the law under which Capt. Hendon’s property was held subject.” JACKSON COtlHTY. [Herald] Mr. T. 11 Smith, one of Nicholson’s merchant’s speaks of moving to Ogle thorpe county.

Three Jackson county widdowers married in one family in Madison county. The deepest snow that has fallen u Jefferson for many years, lay on the ground last Monday morning. It meas ured about ten inches deep on level ground. v Jefferson proposes to bore a grand fan tastic ride Christmas day, in which the best citixens will participate. All friends from neighboring towns, and communi ties are invited to prepare their garbs and join in this parade. Some unknown parties burglarized Mr. James D. Gunnels’ grocery last Friday and obtained about one hundred and fifty gallons of whisky and one hundred dollars in money besides other valuables. A man signing his name W. W. Rob erts, has committed the highest handed, boldest forgery every committed in this countr. Said Roberts by means of forged documents, obtained from an Au gusta company, a fine traction engine, shipped it to Jug Tavern, and mere mounted the machine and spent several days at the throttle guiding it over the hills of Jackson county. After remain ing in our midst with the machine for about two weeks, he started with a strange woman by his side, for Hart copnty. He gave a free exhibition of his navigating machine at Harmony Grove and continued his travels. Warrants have been issued for his arrest and sent to the Sheriff of Hart county. Thus far we have no news of his arrest or the re covery of the engine. He forged and de livered to the Augusta Co., mortgage notes with clerks certificate of record, and a deed to land in Franklin county. W. T. Bennett, Clerk. H. C. Appleby, J. P. and P. G. Trout are some of the name ?s used liy said Roberts. Roberts is no other name than W. W. Jackson, who is extensively known in this county but not favorably known. Jackson left his wife and children here. He is a man of medium height, dark complexion, and has one eye out. LE.ltON ELIXIR. AN ENGLISH VIEW. Mr. Worthington Wean* With Athena and Impressed With Geor- fl*. The BanJEx-WiTCHHAH has already alluded to the presence in Athens of the British capitalist, Worthington, who rep resents an English syndicate holding a quantity of the Macon and Covington Railroad bonds. Mr. Worthington, while in Athens was the guest ol Judge W. B. Tnomas. He was seen by a number of prominent citi zens, and expressed himself pleased with the resources and and the development of the country, which are much greater than he eipeatod to find. Mr. Worth ington visited fijacon, Birmingham and Athens and was particularly interested in Georgia. He was not so much impressed with Birmingham as might have^been suppos ed. He is a cookpractical Englishman, and regarded the feverish Alabama town as too fall of speculative venture. His eye delighted more in the rich farms and solid cities of Georgia there is the blast furnaces and forced values of Binuing- Mr. Worthington left on tie Friday af ternoon train over the Richmond Sc Dan ville Railroad. LETTEB LIST. List of unclaimed letters remaining in the Postoffice at Athens, Ga., advertised Dec. 13th, 1886. __ . „ University of Georgia. Office ot State Chemist.—AthenB, Ga June 27,1884.—I have been familiar for a number ol years with Hie general character of Prof.Horaford’s phosphatk- preparations. Recent examinations made by me of the “Acid Phosphate” and “Bread Preparation,’ show them to be exactly what is claimed for them in theelrculara accompanying the pack ages. The “ Acid Phosphate’’ is a con centrated solution in water of Acid Phosphate of Lime. The “ Bread Pie parauon” is a mixture of Void Phos phate of Lime, carbonate of soda and flour. 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 rocheUe salts—a ^double art rate of soda and potash. The phos phates are ugelul mineral substances in animal nutrition and growth, the tar- rates are not. tn my opinion, the phoephatic Powder is, therefore pre ferable to the other, so tor as health is concerned. H. C WHITE. SohePios.—Mr. J. H. Langford, of Oconee, was in the city yesterday, and tells ns that Mr. W. H. Doolittle, of that connty, this week killed two shoats, one year old, one of which weighed 310 and the other 250 pounds.

The establishment of a wholesale dry goods house in Athens is one of the most hopeful and helpful evidences wo have seen in a long time. ' Wholesale houses bring trade to a city. Heretofore we have had no distinctive establishment of this sort, although some of our merchants conducted a large job bing trade. Our grocery stores-sold largely to dealers, much even of this trade was lost by the absence of a johbing dry goods house. Scores of country merchants who could not buy their dry goods stock in Athens preferred to pur chase groceries where they bought other goods; hence Atlanta has absorbed a vol ume of trade which rightly belongs to us. With the opening of the large whole sale house in Athens in January, we have a new element of commercial atrength, It will give a strong and sym metrical setting to spring trade. It will bring buyers and merchants, will attract cotton and seekers for supplies; in other words, it will give Athens a new impor tance in the country. AU such enterprises arc welcome. DR. W. C. M’ENTYRE. This well known gentleman was laid to rest at Hebron church, in Banks coun ty, on Friday, and a large concourse of friends and relatives followed him to his last resting place. Dr. McF.ntyre had suffered for years with heart disease, and expected to drop dead at any moment. He was in every sense of the word a man, and often has it been said that Dr. McEntyre never thought wrong of any one or cherished an ill feeling. We have known him daring the war. He joined that gallant band of heroes known as the Banks County Guards, and was in nearly all tho battles of Northern Virginia, and when not in the battles he was hack at the hospitals attending to the wounded. Dr. McEntyro was about 50 yoirs old at his death, and leaves , v ife and several children to mourn his ’css. Franklin county will miss him, and his friends deeply sympathize with hi i bereaved family. Hox. A. U. Bacon made an argument in Atlanta before the railroad committee. He reviewed the history of the move- . meat to charter and build the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad, and said the effort of the Macon and Covington railroad was to discredit their enterprise, oust them of their righto and reap the benefits of their thought and labor. Ma jor J. F. Hanson, of Macon, addressed the committee. His address was in favor of the Covington and Macon railroad charter. He argued that it was the set tled policy of the State to encourage all bona fide railroad projects. He made some interesting revelations concerning the Georgia Southern and Florida rail- road. Among other things, the said that Col. L. F. Livingston had tranferred to the Directors of the Georgia Southern dad Florida an interest in a charter, which interest he had previously trans ferred for cash to the Covington and Macon. Tax re-appointment of Hon. L. M. Trammell to he railroad Commissioner seems to give general satisfaction. He hag tried to do perfect justice between the railroads and the people, and the im pression is thatbe has. His colleagues , of the commission speak highly of him, and letters were written from Athens, we understand, recommending the re-ap- pointmsnt, Interesting Letter to the Hartwell Son Bv Hon. B. B. Parker. House of Representative, Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 8, 1886. At six o’clock, p. m., 30th Nov., a joint committee of the Sen ate and House, in company with Joseph E. Brown and Evans f\ Howell, of the Constitution, and others boarded the tran fo, Dade Coal Mines. The party had 20 minutes for supper at Big Shanty; after which the trip was resumed, and at usual bed time the bunks were lower and all slept the sleep of the just. Next morning, upon waking and look, ing out, in front rolled the waters of the Tennessee, having arrived during the night at Shell Mound. There were ma jestic mountains on either side, near by was the noted Nickajack Cave, named for an Indian chieftain, and a few hun dred yards above, is and point where th three States of Georgia, Alabama aiv Tennessee come together. After leaving Shell Monnd, we went to the coke furnaces, wh-ro a small engine, same what like Nancy Hart, was standing on a narrow gauge track’ with a long train of diminutive flat cars attached, upon which the party clambered and were carried up the moutains in a zigzag course, upon the top of which is the Dade Coal Mines. The distance from starting point to top is about lj-f miles, air-line, and by rail in a distance of 3'.C miles, the ascent is 400 feet petpendicular. After a hearty breakfast the party proceeded to explore the stockades. The prisoners seemed to be well provided for, and as a rule ex pressed themselves satisfied with the treatment In the hospitle were very few, mostly injured by some accident at work, The largest mine at Coal City is known as the Slope; for perhaps two hundred yards you go down an inclined plain, de accnding a perpendicular distance of 87 leet; the miners are provided with small tin lamps for burning oil attached to the front of their caps, aud their clothes and persons being smutty, they presented a frightful appearance, a white scarcely distinguishable from a colored inan. The fullest opportunity was offer ed the converse with the convicts, and in a large proportion of the cases they would say they were innocent of tharge. There are 450 convicts at these mines, and sixty guards arc required to keep watch over them. There arc little huts on every side, before which stands a guard, with a breseh loading shot gun, loaded with buck shot. Sixty mules are required to pull the cars around in differ ent portions of the mine, where they are kept all day. The coal is loaded into lit tle fiat cars five of which is a load for a mule. There is said to be about 12 miles of railroad track in the mines. The bands, each have a task assigned him: some as high as 15 cars per day; some 3 or 4, ac cording to the condition of the coal. Every hand, by properindustry’ can com plcte his task, and make something for himself, as they are paid 10 cento extra for each car load, after the task is done. This is paid at the end of the month from the store or may tie till the end of the term, when it is paid in cash. I ex amined the book in which accounts extra work was kept, and found that the con victs had to their credit from one dollar, to $20 per month. In a smaller mine, that extends into the mountain 1,500 feet, 1 saw Engine Beck, sentenced for kilting his wife. He is a large and fine ly formed man, standing over six feet in height, weighs over 200 pounds, having gained five pounds since his confinement His business is putting in the wooden props and cross pieces to prevent the over hanging rocks and debris from fall ing. Says it is a light job, and is content ed as possible under the surroundings. Hz asked me to remember him to some friends—members from his county. So you see he is not entirely oblivirous to the outside world. The convicts come out of the mines and are kept'at the night at the stockade. There seemato be pro per earn takenjfor the comfort of the con victs- The bedding, clothing, and food being sufficient; so far as I could gather, it being a place for punishment, and I can assure yon it is a place of punishment. I think there are cases that should bo in vestigated, and am of the opinion that in many, the punniahment has boen com mensurate with the crime. That matter is being looked into and there may be some recommendation for eveenti ve clem ency on that line. Mr. Brown entertained the party roy ally sparing neither pains nor expense to make a trip pleasant. The tax bill will be taken up tomor row. It is probable we will not adjourn before the 19th inst, though many of the members would tike to quit when the tax bill is disposed of. ResjjcctfnUy, [Echo.] J. M. Turner snd Miss Mary C.

One of Oglethorpe's most prosperous and energetic merchants reports that up to December 1st he had only collected $15,000 of 145,000 sold during the year, or just 33J, per cent Friday last an incendiary got in some of his nefarious work and burned a corn crib belonging to Mr. J. R. Appling, about three miles from town, on the Dan- iclsville road, together with about sixty bushels of corn, fodder, shucks, peas and hay. Our sympathy goes out to Mr. Win. M.

FMitors Banner-WATcnMAN: I don’t see where East Athens has any grounds to complain of not receiving her rights, for I am almost certain there has been as much money expended in East Athens as she pays into the treasury. In fact. if you count the benefit we roceive from our excellent free schools, that we get more than we pay out. There are al ways some croakers everywhere that can’t be satisfied. If the coffee is hot they want it cold, and if cold they want it hot. There are some soreheads who are dissatisfied at the result of the elec tion, and they would cecede if it ruins Athens. I was opposed to secession in 1860, and am still. In uuion there is strength, and it wonld take twice the amount that we pay now to run a one- horse municipal government over here. As to those bitter opponents to the “citi zens ticket,” they have been snowed un der by the citizens, and the very best element of the Knights of Labor, who are clever and reliable men. The best element of the K. of L. are my friends, and helped snow under those who are now croaking to secede. The Check Factory, Misa Carr, Mr. Chappie, the Factory Mills, Dock Dorsey and mysel' pay the bulk of the tax, and if we don’t complain, who has the right? I say keep Athens ss she is, for you can’t please all no how. There will be no trouble in the future to elect the best men without money or whisky, for the best colored people know their interests and will al ways govern themselves accordingly.

All were hereditary cases of Lung diseases, and advanced to that stage when coughs, pain in the chest, Irequent breathing, fre quent pulse, fever, and Memacination. A1I these cases have increased in weight from 16 to 28 lbs.’ and are not now need ing any medicine. I prescribe no other Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with hypo- phosphites, Lime, and Soda, but Scott’s, beliveing it to be the best”. HALL COUNTV. [UalnetTille Earle.] The bill before the legislature to abol ish the city court has passed both houses. The city registration books closed last Monday. 428 names are on the list. Mr. Sampson Mooney, who resides about five miles west of town, was se verely hurt last Monday by the falling of the roof of his steam saw mill, caused by the weight of snow on it. Mr. David H. JaiTett, who resides near Sugar Hill, in this county, brought to our office Tuesdty last a couple of well grown and fully ripe liorse apples of the socond growth. The blooms ap peared in J uly, and several apples re mained on the tree until fully matured. The specimen before us is of good size, beautiful in appearance and very mellow. We are informed that a Mrs. Burton Cloud, who was a*Mrs. Lott, and who once resided here, now living near Bu ford, was visited by unknown parties one night last week, and her house set on fire. Fortunately she discovered the fire, and while in the act of putting it out, was shot in the hack with a shot gun. some fifteen or twenty shot taking effect. As the would-be assassin was some dis tance from her, the wounds are not fatal. Wehave conversed with several of our oldest citizens on the subject,, and they all agree that the late fall of 'snow was the heaviest they ever witnessed. Up to Sunday night the depth on level ground was about six inches, but during that night and a part of next day fnlly twelve inches more fell, making eighteen inches in all.

An Augusta Sensation.—Articles have been published in the state papers about the Augusta Savings Bank and Mr. Joseph S. Bean, its late cashier. It was said that for rumors which Mr. Alfred Baker, the President of the Bank, had circulated about him, Mr. Bean would enter a damage suit.

Wier, the wife of our worthy and popular sherifl, died at his residence in this city. After a long and painful illness, in which her strength seemed to rally and to wane by turns, her exhausted nature gave way, and the gentle sufferer was released from a bed of pain. This announcement will be heard with extreme regret A month ago her family and friends were alarmed at her condi tion, but improvement set in and it was hoped she would recover. Death called her from a devoted husband and a lov ing family. The friends « f Mr. Wier sympathize deeply with him in his mis fortune. A man of noble instincts and strong affections, this blow must fall upon him with great severity. WOOLLEY’S OPIUM CURE- The Wonderful Record, of a Wonderful Medicine—Soma of tbe cores. Dr. B. M. Woolley’s opium cure has made a wonderful record, and unlike a great many proprietary medicines, has stood the test of years. It is accomplish ing cures to-day just as it did in past years, the only difference being that as it grows older, it occupies a wider field for good. It has accomplished a countless number of the most remarkable cures, as thousands of grateful patients have testi fied. The Constitution does not hesitate to endorse Dr. Woolley and the opium cure. The doctor is one of Atlanta’s best citizens, a man of spotless character. He is an enterprising and valuable citizen, and a high-minded man. There is no misrepresentation about his opium cure. It is not a worthless preparation sold to the patient until his money gives out, only to leave him in an uncured and helpless condition. The cures are cer tain and permanent. Dr. Woolley re ceives great heaps of letters from patients that he has cured, and whole numbers of the Constitution could be.filled with testimonials from grateful people. One of the more recent ia from Mr. N. J. Lewis, of Richmond, Virginia, who was using ten or twelve grains of morphine daily, but who was cured completely by Dr. Wooley’s opium cure. Mr. Lewis was notified by several physicians that he was nearing death’s door, so strong was the powerful hold of the drug upon him. The cure that Dr. Woolley ac complished was tike snatching a man from the very jaws of death. Another case is that of Bell Garst, of Locksbiirg, Arkansas, who says among other things: “If I hadn't taken your antidote, I would to-day be numbered among the dead.” She writes a long letter to express the gratitude she feels, and says her health is excellent—better than it was before she fell a victim to the opium hat it. Mrs. Lou Baker, of Rockdale, Texas, uses the following language in a letter: “My health ia better than it has been for many years, and to-day I feel free to say that your wonderful cure has wrought this great change in me, a' change that .people speak of so often when they meet me. I do not hesitate to tell them of this life preserver, which came ao strange ly into my hands.” As bis been stated, whole papers, yea, whole books, could be filled with such testimonials.
