THE BANNER.WATCHMAN,
- Athens, Ha.
IT IS AI.L TOO TRUE.
The Augusta Chronicle is staggered by
the allusions of Secretary Lamar in hit
Charleston speech to the civil service
and taritT convictions of John C. Cal
houn. They were enough to stagger a
much stronger fortress than the Augusta
Chronicle, and when they wero origi
nally uttered the spoils of a stout admin
istration and the fatness of an anchored
subsidy quivered with their terrible
force. We do not see why Mr. Lamar
should have concealed two of the most
glorious epochs of Calhoun's life—espe
cially when the same abuses which grew
under Adams and Jackson throve and
fattened under Grant and llayes. We
do not sec why Secretary Lamar should
beat any pains to relieve President
Cleveland of the imputation of sharing
theso views, when the President openly
and avowedly proclaims and enforces
them as far as possible, and when in the
opinion of a majority of the people of
this Union he is right, and entirely right,
in such a policy.
Andrew Jackson was the father of the
spoils system, and it was under this in
spiration that Senator Marcy epitomized
tile principle that “to the victor belong
the spoils.” It was under the gjrong
will of Old Hickory that spoilsmen and
placemen were given the favors of the
government, and that more removals
were made by him from offlee than
undi r the combined administration of
his predecessors. It was against this
order of things that Calhoun raged when
lie declared that “offices should be con
sidered as public trusts to be conferred
on the honest, the faithful and the capa
ble for the common good.”
It could not have been pleasant for the
Augusta Chtonicle to have Calhoun’s
words on the protective tariff read in the
light of later day abuse. Mr. Calhoun
early in life favored a protective tariff to
build up our infant industries. But later
on he saw the measures that had been
urged as a moans of national defense
grown to collossal systems, drawing
wealth and power from federal taxation
and destroying the interests of the far
mer. lie recognized “its blasting effects
or. one section, its corrupting effects on
the other, until commerce was wasted
and the burden became intolerable.”
Prophetic woada! Calhoun never dis
played wiser or sounder statesmanship.
He believed that the Constitution was
violated in using a power granted to
raise revenue, as the instrument of rear
ing up one section on the ruins of an
other: that it was in a word, a violation
of the Constitution by perversion, the
most dangerous of all, because the most
insidious and difficult to counteract”
With all the fibre of his intellect and all
the force of his being he strove to tear
a way the meshes of a dangerous sophis
try—and to break down a damaging
system. The powers of the government,
the good of the people were never better
analyzed, never more faithfully guarded.
Calhoun saw what the friends of protec
tion do not see, that with the growth of
countries and conditions, systems mast
he,changed. Infant industries had be
come instruments of wealth and opprea-
s ion. The South is still an agrcultnral
people, and the argument that this sec
tion most champion the protection
nolicty to maintain her in-
induslriei ia a specious and narrow ap
peal which will have only to he seen to
bo repudiated. The furnaces and facto
ries of the South will always be discrim
inated against by the giant monopolies of
New England. The large plant wiU'ex-
act favora which the small mill cannot
expect to secure, and the only way for
Southern industries to hold their own,
with their matchless wealth of material,
ia to break down the iniquitous tariff and
spread her spindles and her furnaces be
fore the world.
The principles which Calhoun laid
down about the tariff have been recog-
nixed as sound, North and South. If
Calhoun were here to-day he would find
at least one of his arguments verified
when pushed to its ultimate conclusion.
Ue would seethe iron fasbioningsof Ala
bama compelled to straggle in a restrict
ed market along with the favored pro
ducts of Pennsylvania; he would see the
marble of Tennessee and Georgia gleam
ing like tombstones in the quarry be
cause a high tariff limits foreign com
merce; he’would see the fruits of the
Southern loom, stagnant as the locks in
the Southern field, because the big bar
rier which has been erected and main-
- tained for Eastern mills, kept back the
ships and broke up her commerce, con
centrating the markets and the shipping
in Northern centres and dividing the
spinning with Northern mills. Standing
on the marble pedestal in Charleston,
Calhoun’s image most quiver as he sees
that Southern waters are almost unrid-
den by foreign tradesmen and almoat bare
of American shippers and sailors.
Secretary Lamar has made a noble tri
bute to Calhoun and voiced the heat
sentiments of the President and the peo
ple. For this he deserves onr thanks.
\V* are sorry to learn that the Birming
ham people accuse T. W. Rucker, Esq.
of this city, of the authorship of tho recent
interview published in this paper relative
to the Birmingham boom. Tie interview
was written by a member of the staff,
and this paper la solely and wholly re
sponsible for it We will say, for the
benefit of tho Birmingham people, that
that city has no warmer friend than Mr.
Backer; and that at all'time* and on all

hopeful manner of tho city and its fu
ture. Mr. Bucker was not the gentle
man interviewed. ,
Wa sincerely toast that when Mr.
returns to Birmingham ho will
iricncc no unpleasantness because of
i unfounded rnmor that he was the
and “interviewed” in the

ALL HONOR TO MR. INMAN'." *
i
The people of Georgia'aro under last
ing obligations to Mr. John H. Inman for
forcing one Henry Clews to withdrew
his application for membership of the
New York Cotton Exchange.
It has been the policy of prominent
banking firms in New York to bny seats
in the other exchanges, and this offer of
Clews fqr membership of the Cotton Ex
change was hailed by some as » move
ment of Wall Street tb hack np that in
stitution. Among the sharps and specu
lator* of that street, none are better
known than Clews. He is a bold buyer,
and in the case of the Georgia bonds baa
been a caustic agitator and hitter enemy.
Everybody in Georgia know* of Henry
Clews. How he purchased a certain
issue of Georgia" bonds which were
clearly illegal, and which he was repeat
edly warned would net he countenanced.
How they were issued without the shad
ow of authority, and upon the flimsiest
of pretext*. How, when the people
came bark to their government, they out
lawed these bonds as worse than worth
less, and how Henry Clews has been
writhing in agony ever since, wounding
only himself in his ceaseless contortions.
Last year this same Clews fought the
new issue of Georgia bonds, without im
pairing their value, succeeding however,
in preventing their being put upon the
list of securities on Stock Exchange.
This did not in anyway affect the price
of these gilt-edge securities, which are
bringing full prices in New York mar
ket, but it was an effort to stigmatize the
issue, for which Clews has been amply
repaid.
Mr. Inman and a number of Southern
members used their influence to reject
Mr. Inman when his name was announc
ed in the Cotton Exchange, and Clew*
finding that he wduld be blackballed,
withdrew his application and retired in
confusion.
All honor to Mr. Inman for this manly
action! The State of Georgia owes him
a debt of gratnitude.

GOOD AND BAD LITERATURE.
The improvement of Athens, her streets
and sidewalks, is a matter which should
appeal to every public spirited citizen.
Property owners, of course, are entitled
to fair damages, hut private interest
should sacrifice something to public good^
and if we are ever to grow into a city f
some of this obstructive and proscrip
tive policy -should he dropped. We re
gret to see such a tendency to seek the
courts and arbitration boards.
Thx railroads seem to have made ont
a pretty strong case before the inter-State
Commerce Commission in Atlanta. The
Commission has made no sign, but the
fourth section, about the long hauls, has
been cross-cut twenty times. The Com
mission should he self-abolishing.

"Many of them also which used curious

Paul had bean stirring up Ephesus with
some lively an mutts about the sine of that
place. Among tbs more important remits was
tb. fact that the citizens brought out their
bad books, and in a public place mad, a bon
fire of them. I am tb. people coming out
with their area full of Ephesian literature,
and tossing it into the flames. I bear an
economist standing by and mying: “Stop this
waste. Here are 17,500 worth of books—do
yon propose to burn them all up» If yon don’t
want to read them yourselves, sell them, sod
let somebody else read them.” “No," said the
people, “if them books are not good enough
for os, they are not good tar anybody else,
and we shall stand and watch until the last
leaf baa turned to ashes They have dona us
a world of bans, and they shall never do
others harm." Hear the flames crackle and
roar!
Well, my friends, one of the want, of the
cities of this country b a great bonfire of bad

The Charter Committee, of Augusta,

1 have to ten you this morning that the
greatest blessing that ever came to thin nation
is that of an elevated literature, and the
greatest scourge has been that of unclean
: iterators. This last has its victim* in all oc
cupation* and departments. It hat helped to
fill insane asylums, and penitentiaries, and
alms hotmee and dens of shams The bodies ot
this infection lie In the hospitals and in the
[raven, while their souls are being toiaed over
into a last eternity, an avalanche of horror
and despair!
The London plague was nothing to it That
counted its victim* by thousands, but this
modern pest has already shoveled its millions
into the charnel bourn of the morally dead.
The longest rail train that aver ran over the
Erie or Hudson tracks was not long enough
or large enough to cany the beastliness and
the putrefaction which have been gathered
up in bod books and newspapers at this land
In the last twenty year*.
Now, it is amid inch circa instance* that I
put this morning a question of overmaster-
i ng importance to you and your families.
Wbat books and newspaper* ahaU w* read!
You see I group them together. A
paper Is only a book in a swifter and
portable shape, and the same rule* which
will apply to book reading will apply to
newspaper reading. Wbat shall wa read!
Shall onr minds be the receptacle of every
thing that an author has mind to write! Shall
there be no distinction between the tree of
life and the tree ot death! Shall wa stoop
down and drink out of the trough which the
wickedness of men has filled with pollution
and shame! Shall we mire in Imparity and
chase fantastic will o’ the wispa across the
swamps when we might walk in the bloom
ing gardens of God! Oh,no! For the sake of
our present and everlasting welfare we must
snake an intelligent Christian choice. Stand
ing as we do chin deep in fictitious literature,
the first question that many of the young
people are asking ma is: "Shall we read
novels!" I reply: There are novels that are
pure, good, Christian, elevating to the heart
and ennobling to the life. But I have (till
further to *ay that I believe that ninety-nine
out of 100 novels in this day are baleful and
destructive to the last degree. A pure work
at fiction is history and poetry combined. It
is a history ot things around us with the
licenses and tb* assumed names of poetry.
The world can never pay the debt which it
owes to such' Action writers as Hawthorne
and McKenzie, and Landon and Hunt, and
Arthur and Marion Hartand, and others
whose name* ar* familiar to all. The follies
of high life were never better exposed titan
by Mbs Edgeworth. The memoriae of Use
peat were never more faithfully embalmed
than In the > writings of Walter Soot*.
Cooper's novels are healthfully redolent with
the tmath of the seaweed and tb* air of the
American forest Charles Kingsley
smitten the morbidity of the vrorid, and led
a great many to appreciate tb* poetry of
sound health, strong muscles and fresh air.
Thackeray did a grand work in caricaturing
the pretenders to gentility and high blood.
Dickens has built his own monument in his
books, which are an everlasting plea for the
poor and the anathemaof injustice. Now, I say,
books like these, nod at right times, and read
in right proportion with other books, cannot
help but be ennobling and purifying; but, alas
for the loathsome and impure literature that
has come upon this country in the shape of
novels, like a freshet overflowing an the
banks of decency and common sense! They
are coming from sons of the roost nelehra ted
publishing bouses of the country. They are
coming *tth reoammendatioas of some of our

ought to be busy, staring by ths half

Again: I charge you to stand off from all

land, there is fetid, reeking, unwashed litera

ter, as with the wing of a destroying angel,
and it is time that the ministers of the Gospel
blew the trumpet and rallied tbe forces of
righteousness, all armed to tho teeth, in this
great battle against a depraved literature.
Again, abstain from those books which are
apologetic of crime. It ia a sad thing that
some of the best and moat beautiful book
bindery, and some of tbe finest rhetoric, have
been brought to make tin attractive Vice is
a horrible thing, anyhow. It is born in
shame and it dies howling in the darkness
In this world it is scourged with a whip of
scorpions, but afterward the thunders of
God’s wrath puisne it across a boundless
desert, beating it with ruin and woe. When
yon come to paint carnality, do not paint it
as looking from behind embroidered curtains
or through lattice of royal seraglio, but as
writhing in tbe agonies of a city hospital.
Cursed be tha books that try to make im
purity decent and crime attractive and
hypocrisy nobis. Cursed be the boohs that
swarm with libertine* and ileqysdoa, who
make the brain of the young people whirl
with villainy. Ye authors who write them,
ye publishers who print them, ye booksellers
who distribute them shall be cut to pieces, if
not by an aroused community, then at last by
the hail of Divine vengeance, which shall
sweep to the lowest pit of perdition ail
ye murderers of souls. 1 tell you, though
you may escape in this world, you wifi
be ground at fast under the hoof of eternal
calamities, and you will be chained to the
rock, and you will have the vulture* of des
pair clawing at your soul, and those whom
you have destroyed will come around to tor
ment you, and to pour hotter cools of fury
upon your head, and rejoice eternally in the
outcry of your pain and the bowl of your
damnation. "God shall wound the hairy
scalp of him that goeth onto his trespasses"
The clock strikes midnight. A fair form
bends over a romance. Tbe eyes flash fire.
Tbe breath is quick and irregular. Occa
sionally the color rashes to the cheek, and
then dies out The bands tremble as though
a guardian spirit were trying to shake tbs
deadly book out of (he grasp. Hot tears fall.
Sta laughs with a shrill voice that firops dead
at its own sound. The sweat on her brow if
tbe spray dashed up from the river of death.
The clock strikes "four," and tho rosy dawn
soon after begins to look through tbe lattice
upon the pale form that looks like a detained
specter of the night. Koou in a mad bouse she
will mistake her ringlets for curling serpent*,
and thrust her white band through the hereof
the prison, and smite her bead, rubbing it
hack as though to push the scalp from the
skull, shrieking: "Hy brain 1 mybrainl" Oh,
stand off from that! IVhy will you go sound
ing your way amid the reefs and warning
buoys when there is, such a vast ocean to
which you may voyage, all tail set!
There is one other thing I shall say this
morning before I leave you, whether yon
want tn bear it or not. That is, that I con-
eider the lascivious pictorial literature of tbe
day as most tremendous for ruin. There is
no one who can like good picture* better than
I da Tbe quickest and most condensed way
of impressing the public mind is by picture;
What the painter does by his brush for a few

plishes by fifty pages the artist does
flash. The best part of a painting that costa

“I have secured all the Achta of way

The surveyors have run two lines be

both are good routes. The country
through which the road will pass ia very
fine, and I have seen some of as good
land as there is in Georgia. The farm

Modern Cooking and Mod

pains about the chest and sides,
and sometimes in tbe back.
.They feel dull and sleepy; the
mouth has a bad taste, especi
ally in the morning. A sort
of sticky slime collects about
the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is a feeling like a heavy
load on the stomach; sometimes
a faint, all-goue sensation at
the pit of the stomach which
food does not satisfy. The
eyes are sunken, the hands
and feet become cold and feel
clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it is at
tended with a greenish colored
expectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while, and
sleep does not seem to afford
any rest After a time he be
comes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forebod
ings. There is a giddiness, a
sort of whirling sensation in
the head when rising np sud
denly. The bowels become
costive; the skin is dry and
hot at times; the blood becomes
thick and stagnant; tiie whites
of the eyes become tinged with
yellow; the kidney secretions
becomes scanty and high col-
depositing a sediment
standing. There is fre
quently a spitting up of the
food, sometimes with a sour
taste anti sometimes with a
sweetish taste; this is fre
quently attended with palpi
tation of the heart and Asth
matic symptoms; the vision be
comes impaired, with spots be
fore the eyes; there is a feel
ing of great prostration and
weakness. All of these symp
