A PICTURE OF ATHENS.
Mr. C. T. T.ogan of the Atlanta Con
stitution, has written an interesting page ;
on Athens in his paper and declares his )
ability to add volumes to what he has ^
given. We do not doubt this, and we '
must commend the manner in which Mr.
Logan has performed his task. We print
a portion of his interview in another
column, and give a summary of his ar
ticle here:
Six years ago Athens had a population
of 8,1 »S); best estimates now give her
11,000. Four years ago her taxable
property amounted to three and a ha*,
millions; now the estimate is five mil
lions, showing an increase of $1,500,000,
of which increase one million has been
realized in about two years. The write,
•states his belief that in 1880 Athens will
hoi i taxable property amountiu
twelve or fifteen million. According to
llradstreet Athens is rated as the most
solid city of her size in the State. M ith
a largo amount of non-taxablo property
the wealth of Athens is placed at ten
million, lie gives the bonded debt of
Athens at .*'.'5,000—a decrease of $36,000
in eleven years.
Four years ago the trade cf Athen
amounted lo $7,500,(XX), merchandise
cotton and manufacturing. To-day-
goes beyond that several millions. In
1883 it was classified as follows;
Wholesale $2.' (00,OCX*

The cotton receipts now amount to
75,000 bales yearly, and it is confidently
expected that next year will swoll the
receipts lo-fiO.OOO bales.
Cotton receipts this year are estimated
at .75,00). Fifty houses here do $50,OX*
worth of business. There are.25,000 cot
ton spindles at work and 1000 hand are
give^* employment in this industry.
Athens sell goods nearly to Augusta
and ns close to Atlanta as Covington and
Gainesville,’ ail'd which goes to show
tlraXXhy business men here know a thing
or two and are letting the world know it.'
On everything but western produce.
Athens gets as good freight rates as Au
gusta or Atlanta,’ and the difference on
western produce is so small as not to se
riously interfere with the bustling, boom
ing trade.
The banking faciliticsare ample. The
National bank has a capital of $100,-
(XX) and a surplus of $160,000, making
a total of $260,000 capital. The bank of
the University has a capital of $115,000
and a surplus of $6,000.
Mini I Ah Allan! . Constitution Cor-
rcfcpoiidntt Finds to Write About
In this City -A Rosy View of I s.
Said Mayor R. K. Hearts, whose term
expires the first of January:
I think Athens is the finest place in
the country—at least in the Soutlf—for
a home or place of business. Our sur
roundings are magnificent, and we have
advantages that Atlanta nor any other
Northern city has.”
What do you think of Athens’
growth?"
I am satisfied that Athens will dou
ble in population and value in six or
seven years. We have every facility for
bus ness or manufacturing. Our water
pater power is practically without limit,
and that branch of our advantages is as
yet in its infancy, so far as development
is concerned. 1 think we will show the
rorld so nothing in a few years on man
ufactories. I have been ail around over
South, and aside from any personal
interests l have here, 1 think our situa
tion better than any placo I know. We
simply need developing, that's all; and
we are going ahead as rapidly as we
ould expect. These new roads will give
us a commercial importance our own peo
ple hardly dream of. 1 expect to see
money pouring into the lap of Athens
when we erect our grand union depot for
five or six railroads.”
Continuing Mr. Reaves said: “The
finances of Athens and ( larke coupty are
m first-class condition. The tax rate in
the city is only one per cent, and in the
county of one per cent. With these
things in our faver, to say nothing of our
educational advantages, Athens is bound
to grow, and I believe we are now on the
outer edge of a genuine boom."
MR. .1. H. RUCKER’S OPINION.
Said Mr. J. FI. Rucker, a prominent
and wealthy citizen:
*‘I am very much pleased with the out
look for Athens. Our taxable property
has increased $l,UOO,0UO in less than
three years, while our general business
now, and has been,, growing for five
ears beyond my own expectations. A
few years ago we were getting from 25,-
000 to 55,000 hales of cotton. Four
years ago we got about 40,00, while this
year we will go to 75,000, and are al
ready 1,000 ahead of last year, when we
jot 65,000. Ou;* debt is less than any
town in the South.”
“What is your debt?"
“Now about $95,000, and our bonds
are. good all the time for par and more,
'"he iptQtme for thercity on taxable prop
erty, cut off as we are from all revenue
from licnns£»-r-j& $45,000, is enough to
k»ep«s good style. We have

THK EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS.
The educational interests and advan
tages of Athens are known all over
America, until the place is called the
“classic city” by all. Some of America’s
greatest statements were graduates of the
University, and it was never in a more
prosperous condition. Dr. Mell tells
-me he could not ask for a better outlook.
There are in attendance now 205 stu
dents here, while the branches of the
University swelled the number to l,luO.
Everything is in perfect condition, and
the faculty was never stronger.”
LUCY COBB INSTITUTE.
This is one of Georgia’s favorite insti
tutions of learning, and is prosperous to
a degree unknown in its history. Miss
Rutherford, the principal, informs ine
that the attendance is now as large as she
desires it, there being 105 voung.ladies
present. There are fifteen teachers in
all, and the institute in every way is in a
perfect condition. Lectures from Dr.
Mell, Dr. Lipscomb Prof. White, and
other well-known instructors and schol
ars. Miss Rutherford is especially pleas
ed with her Atlanta patronage, there be
ing fifteen young ladies here from the
Gate City.
There are several other private schools
in Athens of prominence, besides a sys
tem of public schools as good as are in
the South. Altogether Athens well mer
its the title of “Classic City,” for the ed
ucational facilities could not be better.
THE COTTON FACTORIES.
Ill nil k Ready—Hr. A. HI*
Hodgson Confident.
The B.-W. yesterday hunted up Mr.
A. II. Hodgson to learn if there were any
new developments in regard to the Geor
gia, Carolina A: Northern railroad.
Mr. Hodgson, in reply to our query,
remarked: “We are now having printed
bhwik forms for deeds to the right of way,
and other papers necessary to a begin- I
ning. The engineering corps will go into
the field early in January, and as fast as
the line is located some one will follow
close behind taking deeds from land
owners to a right of way for the rail
road."
“Have you any doubt about the com
pletion of this road?"
“N»t the slightest. It will assuredly
be built, and that as fast as men and
money can do the work. It will be a big
thing for Athens, and our people will do
their full part.”
Brace Up.
You are feeling depressed, your appe
tite is poor, your are bothered with Head
ache, you are fidgetty, nervous, and gen
erally out of sorts,and want to brace up.
Brace up, hut not with stimulants, spring
medicines, or bitters*, which have for
their bases very cheap, whisky, and
which stimulate you for an hour, and
then leaves you ip a worse condition than
before. What you want is an alterative
that will purify your blood, start healthy
action of Liver and kidneys, restore your
vitality, and give renewed heaRh and
strength. Such a medicine you will fine
in Electric Bitters, and only 50 cents a
bottle at Long & Taydor’s Drug Store.
The cotton factories are an important
branch of Athens’ trade, and give em
ployment to some 800 or 1,000 hands.
The product is worth ove $1,000,000.
The Athens Manufacturing Company
employs 300 to 400 hands, uses 5,000 to
6,000 bales of cotton yearly, with a pro
duct worth $500,000. They make all
kinds of checks, yarns, cottonades and
woolen goods.
The Georgia factory uses between
2,500 and 3,000 bales of cotton yearly,
but making nothing but plain cotton
goods.
The Princeton factory uses 1,800hales
and makes sheetings ami shirtings.
The High Shoals factory uses 1,200
bales of cotton, and makes only plain
goods.
TI1E ATHENS FOUNDRY.
This company manufactures oy»ry-
thing in the way of castings in iron and
Northeastern road. IVe had fleen°pra.
tically at a standstill up to that time; Imt
we once took an upward tendency :iiul
have been making, steady and solid "pro
gress since. That was the first popular
movement to a general feeling of unity,
fust before that the Richmond and Dan
dle and Athens had made a bold mis-
tako by taking the upper ..route. Now,
since we got the road, every public en
terprise started here has been taken hold
of by the business men and made a suc
cess. We have never made any big talk
about our work, hut whenever we have
had anything in hand, we have gone to
work to build it up.”
“Then you thinK the future promis
ing?”
“Undoubtedly. What is there to keep
us down? We have capital, pluck and
determination. The whole community is
full of solid men who are willing to work
for Athens. One of the most important
features about the present prosperity of
Athens’ present strong business
landing is that it is duo to men who
tarted at the very bottom, on nothing, I
might say, aud who have gradually en
larged their facilities and territory until
we are now doing ourselves and Georgia
credit. We have literally made our big
roccry and cotton trade ourselves—it is
all a purely native growth, due to the
pluck of theso young business men.”
"What of the new railroads?”
“They will fill up a gap we have
wanted filled for years, and will bring
us the fullest measure of prosperity.
This North Carolina road is the greatest
enterprise we have ever undertaken.
This will give us two southern outlets
and every other facility we nerd. So
there is nothing, in my opinion, that
can keep ns down. Business is com
pelled to grow and values increase rap-
idlny.”
THE COTTON INTERESTS.
The cotton business of Athens is
something remarkable, and the city is
recognized as the largest interior market
in the south; for, while many thousand
hales are sent to other cities for coin
pressing, and tfien'put in the general re
ceipts, all the cotton that Athens gets is
bought and sold right here, and handled
icte by direct dealers. Everywhere
in? goes here nothing is seen but cot
ton. The streets arc always filled with
wagons, and the big warehouses and
compresses are crowded.- The railroads
have about all they can do to handle it
and the belief is general that Athens
will get 100,(XX) bales.iu two years from,
flow. Said Mr. Hunter, of Orr & Hun
ter: "There is-no secret about our cot
ton receipts, though many of our own
people do not understand how -our busi
ness continues to grow, V It is easy-
enough to understand. We are -rid of
the expense of extra hauling and can af

ment made on either side,
simply a statement of the case and the
law governing the same. Several wit
nesses were introduced. For the prop
erty owner their testimony went to
show that the damage ranged from 40 to
oO per cent. The city's witnesses af
firmed that the damage was from 14 to
25 per cent, except Mcl.ester s property,
who they did not think was damage^
but little. After bearing the testimony,
the arbitrators inspected the property in
person, when they again repaired to the
council chamber and decided on the Bil
lowing damages:
S. C. Dobbs, $834, and $25 for remov
ing awning.
A. L. Hull, $7<>o.
Mrs. T. R. R. Cobb, $7)>0,and $25 for

A separate tax levy will have to be

money in the treasury to devote to that
purpose.

The news reached . Athens yesterday
of the killing of a negro boy in Jackson
county by a son of Mr. Fayette William
son. A negro came to Williamson and
told him that the negro boy who was
killed said that Williamsom was a liar,
and Williamson went to his house and
asked the boy if he had made the remark
that he was a liar. The negro at first
denied having said it, but afterward told
Williamson that he was a liar, and used
other rough language, when Williamson
drew ins pistol and killed him instantlv.
We could not learn whether Williamson
had been arrested.
