COTTON HENDERSON WAREHOUSE CO., Storage and Commission Money Loaned on Good Collateral. GOVERNOR GORDON. Of all the counties in Georgia, we do not suppose Gen. Gordon found stronger ormoro determined opposition from any than he encountered in Clarke. lie found, too, that our people made no covert attack, hut they fought him with their visors raised and hilt to hilt This opposition was attributable not to any doubt that we had of Gen. Gordon's honesty or patriotism or ability; but it was based on equally as high grounds. First, we considered Gen. Gordon’s can didacy for Governor untimely, and that it was calculated to produce bitterness and discord in the ranks of the demo cratic party in our State at a time when the greatest unity should exist. Second, We believed that he was forced into the race, probably against his own judgment and wishes, in order to further the ends of a political ring and as the only man with whom they could hope to defeat Major Itacon; and third, we believed that in the event of Gen. Gordon's election that he would bo under the control of , certain politicians in Atlanta, and his tri umph could but tend to centralize political power in our State, and threaten the interests of the people at large. Thus honestly believing, the Banker-Watch man opposed 'he nomination of Gen. Gordon with all the power that the pen f its editor possessed; and believing as we at that time believed, we would make the same light an hundred times 'ver were it necessary. But little did count on the magnetic power andua- •■led popularity of Gen. Gordon, t not to defeat him was like tear- ■r n idol that a nation had set up to woi-flA IDs campaign was the most wonderful in the political history of our ration. He tore victory from the very grasp of his distinguished antagonist, and was carried into office by a ground- swell of the populace. When the dem ocratic party of Georgia, in convention assembled, placed its seal on Gen. Gor don, he that hour became Clarke coun ty’s candidate, and the Banker-Watch man’s candidate, for Governor, and had it been necessary, we would have labor ed as earnestly for his election as we wr rked for bis defeat in the nominating convention. We had no personal war fare to wage against Governor Gordon, but admired and honored him as an hon est gentleman and a valliant Confederate officer. Wo felt that if a mistake had been made in his election, the people had but themselves to blame. We deter mined to carefully watch the official career of Gen. Gordon, and commend whnt was deserving and condemn what w-> believed threatening to the public iuon-aU. Thus far Gov. Gordon has had a quiet and uneventful reign, but certain littlo “straws show how the wind blows.” ' We have already seen enough to satisfy us of one thing—that the peo ple of Georgia elected John B. Gordon Governor, and be alone is the Governor; that he will not be dictated to or ruled by any man or set of men, and is bringing to bear in his civil office that same de termined courage that characterized his career as a soldier. If certain parties counted on manipulating the administra- tioi of Governor Gordon to suit their individual ends and interests, they ealeu latud without their hosts. Most prop erly ne is rewarding his friends accord ing to their merits; but so far as the official administration of his office is con te: ued, John B. Gordon alone wields the lulra of state. Many people believe th-t the Atlanta Constitution jnsde Gen era! Gordon C;»c:nor. No doubt but what this able and influential paper helped to swell his flattering majorities bnt it was the people who made him GovemoT, and there has not been an hour since his candidacy was announced, hut he would have overwhelmingly tri umphed, had the Constitution and every other paper in Georoia opposed him Gov. Gordon’s action in the re-appoint ment of Mr. Trammell as Rsilroad Commissioner, and the comments of the Constitution thereon, show that the Gr vernor is not the pnppet of any man or organ, but is the Chief Magistrate of the great people of Georgia, to whom alone he owes allegiance. a prompt and thorough reform of the tariff. It was evident at the time that Mr. Randall and his little knot of protec tion democrats would fight the adminis tration band and with the Republicans to defeat the measure. The motion to consider the tariff was lost by a vote of 148 ayes to 154 noes. Mr. Morrison held all the Democratic votes he had last session, and besides the two New York Democrats gained two Republican votes, Messrs. Hayden and Stone, of Massachusetts. Ofthe 148 votes for consideration, 142 are Demo crats, including General Weaver, the Iowa Oreenhacker; six are republicans, namely, Messrs. White, Nelson, Strait and Wakefield, of Minnesota; Messrs. Stone and Hayden, of Massachusetts. Of the 154 negative votes, 129 are Repub licans, and the following twenty-five are democrats: Gay, St Martain, Iron and Wallace, of Louisiana; Randall, Sowden, Curtis, Ermentrout and Boy]e, of Penn sylvania; Campbell, Foran, Geddes, Sc- ney, Leary, Wilkins and Warner, of Ohio; Bliss, Spriggs, Stahlnecker and Merriman, of New York; Lawler and Ward, of Illinois; McAdoo and Green, of New Jersey, and Martin, of Alabama. The issue is now squarely before the country. Revenue reform is more thor oughly alive than ever. The Democratic party and the Democratic administration have spoken, and the issue has been kept down by a knot of protection dem ocrats, who are joined to their favored idols. Let the people see exactly between what limits the issue lies, and where the Randall party is leading to. RANDALL AND THE REPUBLICANS. REGISTRATION FOR CLARKE. OUR COTTON RECEIPTS. The cotton receipts of Athens have run this season with surprising regularity. They have held up in spite of the short crop, and the prospects are that although the yield in our immediate section has been reduced fully one-third, the receipts in this city will be increased almost one- third. Of course this could not have hap pened had not Athens drawn her cotton from a much larger territory this season than ever before. The boundaries of our trade have been manifestly enlarged. It is surprising to find that Athens com mands cotton over the Gainesville, Jef ferson & Southern Railroad by Social Circle on the south and Gainesville on the north. She draws cotton this year from Wilkes, Lincoln, Taliaferro, Greene and Morgan on the south, and from Hall, Banks and even Franklin on the north. This she does, and these advantages she holds by virtue of being the best market in.Nortb Georgia, and one of the very highest in the State. Early in November we published the total receipts at Athens then returned each week to the Banner-Watchman by special count, as 30,581. Following then, is the aggregate up to last Friday: Receipts to Nov. 7 30,581 For week ending Nov. 12 5,216 “ “ “ “ 21 3,992 “ “ ’* “ 28 3,18v “ “ 1 Dec. 5 5,814 “ “ “ “ 17 5,848 WINTERVILLE NOTES.

He insists, therefore, that he could not passing, have been with her that night, and that The roof will probably be finished he saw her neither in January nor in ~ ’ - ■ ■ • • March. As a matter of fact, he said that for six or seven years he had seen her not more than three or four times a year, a'd that he was by no means as in timately acquainted with her as was generally supposed. MtTSTACHE. When asked if he wore a moustache on his trip to Richmond; he said that he never had worn a moustache at any peri od of his life. With regard to his presence at Mazart Hall, he stated that lie had confidently expected Mr. Ilenly to remember seeing him there, and that he also thought he would have been able to show that he was at Morganstein’s, but one of the at tendants at the saloon, whom he thought could identify him, had : n the mean time died. Cluverius did not mention the man’s name,but he no doubt referred to Mr. James E. Newman, who died September 3d, 1885, having been suffo cated by coal gas at Krouse's hotel, on Broad street. Total receipts to date, bales, 54,633 Stock on hand December 17... .7,618 Wc see that abill has passed both the house and senate providing for the reg istration of voters in Clarke county. This is a measure that the Banner-Watch man has long urged, and its good results are almost incalculable. This one bill will be a monument to Mr. Russell, and by securing iU passage he has faithfully and fearlessly represented the wishes of the honest and intelligeht Voters of the county and the best interests of his sec tion. It is a universally acknowledged fact that politics in Clarke county are recking with corruption, and any step tending toward their purification will be hailed as a blessing. We know of no public measure calculated to do more toward this great object than a registra tion law. It will slowly but surely pnt a stop on the pernicious and infamous practice of buying and selling votes, and gradually retire from business those suffrage-barterers. Unless a man has the patriotism to pay his own taxes, he will not be permitted, on the. day of an election, to to sell his vote to some can didate who will bear -that bnrthen for him. The tax-books will have closed before that time, and unless a man’s name appears on the published registra tion list, his ballot will not be received. And again. A registration law does away, to a great measure, with illegal votes, and will thus save our county and tax-payers a great trouble and expense. In truth, the passage of that registration law for Clarke county is a great stride toward political reform and the purifica tion of the bailot-box, and wo confident ly look to see the stigma removed frdm our county that this open buying and selling of votes has fixed on it. We trust that Gov. Gordon will lose no time in making ibis bill a law. On his re turn home, Mr. Russell will find himself greeted by a well-pleased constituency, and accoided that* highest of all praise, "Well done, thou good and faithful ser vant!” We learn from reliable authority that Got. Gordon and Dr. Felton have had a long and friendly interview and shaken hands across the political cha-m. This is a mighty good year for a love-feast among all the democrats of Georgia. JACKSON COUNTY. THE DOOMED MAN. CLUVERIUS’ STATEMENT TO COR ONER TAYLOR. He Comments on Some of the Evidence Against Him—all Hope Anandoned, hot He Sara He Will Die With a Clear Con science. Richmond, Dec., 19.—Cluverius bav in expressed a willingness and desire to prisoner. found him looking very well, indeed, and while not expecting any escape from his impending fate, seemed to bear himself with resignation. He was communica tive and answered every quesion, and from the prisoner's standpoint, Tery sat isfactorily. He declared that he had no hesitation in telling anything he knew of the case. Ho maintained that Lillian Madison committed suicide. In his opin ion she started from the hotel at 6 o’clock and never returned. He reguarded this views as borne out by the recent devel opments of “the old man” (iDu'W. H, Chiles). Cluverius thinks that Tyler confused two different nights; the “old man,” so- called, and lady were seen by Tyler on the twelfth (which is Chile’s date), and that the lady that Chiles brought to the American lias been confounded with Lil- TRACKS. The double line of foot-prints seen by the witnesses for the Commonwealth on the ditch-bank between the hole in the fence and the embankment he attributed to the feet of the people exploring the locality for the tracks of the supposed man and woman. Cluverius expressed the opinion that deceased came here to be confined or to have an operation performed upon her, HE IS A SMOKER. When tbe Coroner went in Cluverius’ room the prisoner was smoking. During the conversation Cluverius asserted that he had been grievously misrepresented on this subject; that at the Coroner’s inquest when he was suddenly brought into a close room filled wiih tobacco smoke, to confront the witnesses, he said not that he did not smoke—but that the smoke was stifling—that it was very disagreeable. He told tho coroner that he smoked two cigarettes when he was coming up to Richmond with the police man, and that now smoking is a great so lace to him, and he also finds much com fort in reading. RESIGNED. “You have played your last card haven't you," said the Tisitor. “Yes. un less something that I can’t foresee oc curs,” he answered. He declared that he had full hope that hereafter his inno cence would appear. He also made use of tho expression that he had rather be condemned with, a clear conscience than to be acquitted if he were guilty. Coming away from the jail Willie Cluverius (who was present at the inter view) remarked: “Of course everybody expects me to say that I believe my bro ther it innocent; but it is really the case. Each time I see him I come away more and more convinced of his innocence. the Baptist church this week. The first load of lumber for the Meth odist church arrived Monday. Mr. J. M.

Mr. Will I Tuck speaks of going to Middle Georgia early noxt year to en gage in the lumber business. Rev. Mr. Smith, a Presbyterian divine, spent last Saturday night at Pleasant Hill and preached to the convicts on Sunday. Mr. Martin Winter, of Greene county, is with us, and speaks of making this his future home. The horse-swapping brigade has com menced operations early this season. They attend all the sales. There has been more land offered for sale this season than for many years and in consequence prices have been considerably reduced. Madison county has eight blockade stills in full blsst, and there is net much secrecy connected with their operations. The good people of that county demand some rel'ef. Last Saturday a Madison county land owner beard that a moonshine still had been located on a tract of his land. He laid down his work, went and found the still in operation And 4a»W -Wner two hours to Imove orSave the house hunted down. He skipped. About 3 miles west of Danielsville there is an illicit distillery in operation called the “Rattle Snake’s Den.” on ac count of it being ran under ground. We learn that it has been running for several years. About 18 months ago we predic ted that Madison county would be a veri table hell on earth in the event prohibi tion was defeated, and we are afraid our words will shortly be prophetic. The good people of that county are anxious to have another election on the prohibi tion question, believing enough have been disgusted with the old regime to carry the county for the Prohi's. Dr. Seale, the former, pastor of the church here, left last week for his charge in Chattooga county. Mr. B. B. Williams’ little boy has been quite sick for more than a week. Tbe Cbawfokd Church.—We learn that the members of the Crawford Bap tist church have decided to postpone the building of their new edifice, owing to the shortness of tbe cotton crop. On Saturday the Republicans of the - House, aided by Hon. Samuel J. Randall and 24 democrats, defeated the motion! made by Mr. Morrison ,to take up the] tariff bill. The motion was made strictly in the interest* of reforming the revenue of the country; of cutting down the high War tax, of abolishing the extortions and exactions of tho sy atom,-and of levelling the aehe-J-'ft of monopolies, which has - pressed harshly upon tho beat intsrests of the people. It was a triumph of Ran- dallism and of Republicanism; s square- out defeat of the Democratic party, {fledged to the interests of reform. Itiamostgntilyingto note that the ten (H const | Surances of three daily papers that GeorJ f gia-would follow tho lead of Mr; Haa- r this matter, every member in the House voted to take up the bill in ac cordance with the recommendations of p tho administration. 1'resident Cleve- k land’s message voiced the best sentiment V sflLthe Democratic party in the country, It did not need a close personal inspec tion to convince this paper that Jackson county it one of the finest in the state. The futare has much in store for this county and this people. It possesses an usual farming advantages. Rid; in bot tom lands, the yield on tho river sides and creeks is enough to insure a full grain harvest. The hill sides are very fertile. The yield of the led lands in cotton has boen Urge even in an unpro- pitious year. The presence ef ample and attractive water power, the' number of ■mall industries and the outcropping of ample evidences of mineral - wealth, are enough to pUce Jackson county in a front rank in the material progress of the state. v.

I No county in the state has better edn- cational advantages, and-* good public school system, supplemented by ike finest of private institutions of learning, make the county conspicuon* in the work of education. We haVe never seen more vigorous business towns than lit in Jackson coun ty. Up and down the Northeastern Bail' road, on tbe narrow gauge, and even in the interior, Jackson county number* some growing commercial centre. He further supposes that Lillian in leaving the hotel about 6 o’clock, may perhaps, have gone by the Free bridge end there thrown her bundle- into the river, and thence proceeded up town and left her shawl on Dustin’s fence. ' Cluverius considers that unless Lillian went to the reservoir at some early pe riod of th* evening she never could have found her way to the hole in the res ervoir fence. He remarked that a trip with any one through that region would have . suggested foul play to her at every step* and that she would not have accompanied any one to the top of the embankment. Cluverius claims that he could not have disposed of her body as alleged; and that perhaps in a struggle ■he could h.ve mastered him. He said, also, that no one would carry a person he intended to murder up to an elevated spot—such as the top of the embank ment—where her voice could be heard far around. WATCH KEY, &C. On the inbiect ofthe watch key he said that Joel never did and work for him (prisoner) at any time whatsoever, and that he never saw that watch key in his life, and that when he came to Rich- A Valuable Farm For Bent.

Russell, State Oaganizer of the Knights of Labor, in answering the newspaper comments, is bitter. He says: “In your ignorance you may think that the mechanics and laborers in the rural districtsof South Carolina are to be used as lazy,‘intolerent men in these districts choose to dictate; that they are not freemen and shall work for what you may choose to allow them.” Some papers advise farmers to “spot” all white men like Russell en deavoring to organize negro Knights of Labor and to drive them from the neigh borhood. These journals have adiised that the Legislature should appropriate money for the maintenance of militia, as well equipped soldiers will be needed if this organization goes on. LEGISLATIVE ACTION. This the Legislature ' has done, and to furthnr protect the farmers against the organization of the colored people living on their plantations the Senate has passed by a large maj and the House will doubtless make it a law, a bill providing that “it shall be deemed conspiracy, and shall be a mis demeanor for any persons united, organ ized, associated or banded together in any other way, with pnj contract be tween any employer and any em whether snch contract be verbal or in writing, or to permit any person for them or in their name, or on their behalf of such onion, association, organization or band, to interfere with, employer or employe, whether the contract he verbal or in writing, for wages or for any other consideration, to prevent the execution of such contract, and each and every one convicted of this offense shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than six month, or fined not less than (200, or be both fined and imprisoned.
