Atlanta, Oct. 3.—[Special.]—The
House met at 9 a. m. The special order,
which was the discussion of the Harri
son resolution to sell or lease the West
ern and Altantic railroad, was taken up.
Mr. Huff resumed > is argument. He
read Senator Brown's letter addressed to
the lioverner and commented on the
gratuitous advice given, after which ho
read Senator Brown’s second communi
cation, addresred to the Constitution.
Govi rnor Brown ha vine failed to get any
response to his first communication from
• ither the Governor of the State or from
the legislature, then makes another effort
to get an answer in some way from some
one. So (ar he has failed. The legists
tore, in his opinion, did not need to ad
vertise the property. Gov. Brown has
saved the State that expense. He said
there was not a railroad syndicate in the
country that would lease the property
with Brown's claiming hanging over it.
Mr. Speaker, my position on this ques
tion, is clear cut. If I can help it the
lessees shall never get a ccntforany per
manent fixture on tho road. The super
visor of the Western and Atlantic rail
road tells that the tonnage of the road
was twice as much as it ever was. Mr.
Anderson says the average of tho steel
rail on the road is eight years, and that
the
month., AuthoKreTGeWvn'wd?
ploy a good roan at $2,000 a year, and let
him protect every rail and every piece of
property on the road, and not allow th«j
lessees to remove a dollar’s worth of pro
perty. It will be money well spent,
much better than advertising the proper
ty in the papers, which will depreciate
the property. Do not let them move a
shingle from a roof, or a rail from the
track.
It is contrary to business principles to
advertise a piece of property for sale with
a lot of complications hanging over it.
Oov. Kronen says jthat he will wreck it,
and he means just what he says. The
State road, in my opinion, is worth $7,-
5<A),OU). It may he worth more. I am
not as extravagant as some people are
about the vnlna of this property. Fred
Wolf told him that there was no reason
why Georgia should not float ns many
bonds ns she wanted to at 4 per cent,
just as lonir as she owned the Western
and Atlantic railroad. The report gotten
tip by the committee of which Mr. Watt,
of Stewart, is chairman, tells us that
there is now Jfl.nOO.OUO worth r,f surplus

THE PROPHECY or NOAH.
“And he said cursed bo Canaan, a ser-
7iht ofseivants shall he be unto his
brethren ” There is nothing said as to
his c<>lor. And he said: “blessed be
the Lord God of Shem, and Canaan shall
be his servant. God shall enlarge Ja-
phet, and he shall dwell in the tents of
Shem, and Canaan shall be his servant.
—Gen. ix, 25 27.
St. Paul declares that “God hath made
of one blood all the nations of inen for to
dwell upon the whole earth, and hath de
termined the times before appointed,
and the hounds of their habitation.”—
Acts xvii, 2u.
God not only divided the human fam
ily into three divisions, but he has di
vided the earth, giving to each his por
tion. To Ham he has given Africa; to
Shem Asia, and to Japhet Europe and
the West. The three different races
cannot he accounted for; they are dis
tinct. God has so ordered it. They are
not only distinct in color, and, to some
extent, in physical organism, but in mind
and instincts. The* Asiatic is only at
home in Asia; the African is only at home
in Africa. .lapliet was to dwell in the
tents o r Shem, ami is at home in all
lands. The English people to-day dwell
in the homes of over an hundred million
of Hindoos orShemites. If God had in
tended that the races should
amalgamate, why .did he divide
them? The Japhetic race is the dominant
nee, the progressive race, ami the life of
the world. Why religious lunatic.- and
Northern politician- want to destroy the
Japhetic race* hy amalgamation, can only
be acc united for in their consummate ig
norance and prejudice. If the races
were united, what would the union be'. J
j Certainly no ther Jainetic, Shemetic nor
I ll nnetic. Co-edueati n means atnal
I mniinn, and amalgamation means the dis-
| truction of both races, and the utter
subversion and destruction «»f all our in
stitutions and civilization, with no hope
of our returning to it again. We cannot
elevate the negro by*grafting the whites
on the negro. If tiie negro is improved
the improvement must be made from the
negro himself, AH efforts made by relig
ious fanatics and ignorant, prejudicial
politicians, looking to the union ami
amalgamation of the races, shouM be
inel and at once arrested by the severest
penalties. The purity and existence of
both races is involved in it.

JUDGE W- B- THOMAS AGAIN LEAVES
FOR NEW YORK CITY-
Atlanta, Oct 4.—[Special.]—The
G!eun bill obtruded its grim visage into
the senate to-day. The Glenn kill was
taken up on motion of Mr. Wright, of
.the First Mr. Lumpkin, of the Twen
ty-ninth, made a motion that the senate
recede from its amendment. The presi
dent held that this would have the effect
of passing the bill, as it originally came
from the house. On a vote being taken,
the ayes were 13, nays 19. Mr. Butt, of
the Twenty-ninth, moved that a commit
tee of conference be had to adjust the
difference between the houpe and senate.
ouse resolution by Mr. Bussell, of
Clarke, to pay mileage to members of the
general assembly for the extra session
was taken up and read.
This resolution was before the finance
committee and received a favorable re
port. There was also a minority report
by several members of the finance com
mittee. Mr. Dean and Mr. Northcutt
opposed the measure. Mr. Wofford of
fered an amendment ttyat Messrs. North-
cutt and Dean be excluded from the
provisions of the resolution. This reso
lution was intended as a joke on Messis.
Dean and Northcutt, and was voted down
by the senate. Mr. Smith, of the Sixth,
said he would voie against the bill, but
if it should pass ho would not hesitate
to draw his prorata amount. The reso
lution was passed by a vote of 23 to 12
THE HOUSE.
Mr. Huff, of Bibb, continued the fur
nish the sensation to-day. lle held the
Hoot on his bill to establish a permanent
penitentiary. He slid:
“Governor Brown with a face as cold as
an icicle, looked me in the face while on
the witness* stand and stated that the
State had robbed him. Can you imagine
Mich a thing? The State robbing Joe
Brown! When 1 think of this there
comes to my mind the sweat-boxes j.t
Columbus, the cotton shipped from
Washington; Gov. brown working hun
dred of convicts ir. that hell-hole of his in
Dade county, as his superintendent calls
it.” Mr. Huff said that when he referred
to this lease being a fraud and a swindle
he did not mean to reflect upon the men
who drew it. He thought their motives
good. It was the system that he refer
red to in that w;»v.
rinon he touched upon Hon. Jefferson hie than the constant efforts being made
Davis’ attitude on the prohibition ques
tion. He said:
•To bring about true freedom no man
by certain Southern politicians and relig-
ous fanatics to conciliate Northern fa
natics on the negro question. What does
should violate the rights of another. Al- the South care what tho North or any-
though one may have a legal right to do | body else thinks about her? They have
so, he has not the moral right. Mr. Da
vis had a legal right to express himself
as he recently did in favor of rum, but ns
God’s freeman in the highest sphere he
had no right to utter the sentiments that
he did. Mr. Davis was wrong, as even
greater men than he have been wrong.
One million rum-cursed homes were just
on the verge of deliverance, when alt at
odee coroes a diversion. When the aged
and revered statesman, now standing on
the banks of the Uive? of Death, rises
and announces that the alleged rights of
those who bring degradation to the wives
and children of the drunkards shall not
be tampered with, “I speak for those
who cannot speak for themselves, inen as
grand as he who led the Confederacy,
who kissed their wives and left their
homes to stand :r the ditches with their
guns and shed their blood for their coun
try’s cause. 1 also speak for those who
lo lk down from above and are in the ce
lestial realms unable to speak.”

The Senior Senator to Be Deafen
On the High Tariff Imuc -Will the
People Sustain It?
Atlanta, Oct. 4.—[Special.]—Last
Friday the Constitution published an ed
itorial attacking Senator Colquitt and
putting that distinguished gentleman on
notice that his services would not be
needed after the expiration of his present
term.
The editorial created a decided sensa
tion among politicians, and even citizens
who take no further hand in politics than
to vote on election days, were amazed to
see the great paper raise its hand against
the “hero of Olustee,” for whom it has
worked so hard in years gone by.
It was evident that the political pot
was beginning to simmer around the
edges, and as there seemed to be some
sort of disintegration going on, develop
ments have been watched with decided
interest for several days.
It is reported in political circles that
recently a conference was held at which
the following slate was made up:
For United States Senator in 1892 (to
succeed Hon. Joseph E. Brown)—John
b. Gordon.
For United States Senator to succeed
Hon. W. B. Thomas has gone to New
York, and it is said he will be there
quite a time. It is understood by those
nearest to the Judge, that be will look
after his railroad interests there, and that
the outcome of his visit will be of inter
est to the people of Athens.
We hear that Judge Thomas will
probably give up, for the present, his
railroad enterprise to Knoxville, since
the litigation which has sprung up in
Athens has brought on delay, and the
stringency in the money market will
prevent his floating his bonds at this
time.
Judge .Th-mss?,. birxver h.s. s .wide.,
‘abroad acquaintance in New' York, and;
trill devote himself to looking alter the
Macon & Covington Railroad, with a pos
sible view of reorganizing a company and
getting control of the road, so as to se-
cure’its completion to Athens. Judge
Thomas is an indefatigable worker, and
will do as much in this line as any man
could do.
When asked about the present status
of the Macon <& Covington, Judge Thom
as stated that he believed the rolling
stock and property of the road were lia
ble for the debts of the contractors, ami
that those having such claims upon the
road will get their money.
what a railroad man says.
We learn that a prominent and well
posted railroad man says that there is a
plan on foot to extend the Macon & Cov
ington Railroad from Monticello, its
present terminus, to Social Circle, and
that at this point the Gainesville, Jeffer
son & Southern narrow gauge will he en
larged so as to connect with it. In the
event of the Georgia endeavoring to
build up such a system, it is believed
the U & D. Uailroad would take charge
of the Macon A Covington and complete
it to \thens, as they could not afford to
lose it.
SHALL WK HOLD THEM?
“Hold them to their contract!”
So said a prominent citizen yesterday
morning, riding down on a street car.
“Yes, sir, the Richmond and Danville
ere playing fast and loose with Athens,
and unless we for:e them to stand lip to
their agreement they will never dc it.”
“What do you want them to do?”
“Why take the bonds of the Macon &
Covington Railroad as they agree to do.
two years ago, and insure the completion
of the road to Athens. I regard their
answer to this as lame and evasive. The
city never dreamed, when it agreed !•»
relieve them from the Rabun Gap ex
tension, that the Richmond & Danville
railroad would wait until the Macon A*
Covington was completed to Athens, be
fore they would take the bonds. There
would be no use of taking the bonds
when the road is completed, for by
that time the bonds will be sold. What
we want the R. & D. to do, is to take the
bonds now and insure its # completion.
The R. & D. should be forced to comply.”
“Can you force them?”
“Can we? I should say so. Take
away the Northeastern railroad if they
do not comply with their contract one
way or another. They will not surrend
er the Northeastern. If they do, the
Central road would he glad to get it, or
the Macon & Covington system might be
re organized to connect with it at Ath
ens and extend to Knoxville. I do not
believe they would give it up, and I do
believe if Athens will hold the R. dr D.

will get the $100,UX) she first put into

The trustees of the Harmony Grov
high school met yesterday evening to
elect a principal for the year 1888. There
were several applicants for this position
and the board had no little trouble in
making a selection of the best man for
the place. After duly considering all of
the applications for the position, the trus
tees unanimously elected Prof. J. II.
Walker, of Monroe, Ga , as principal of
Harmony Grove High School. This
eleclion will doubtless give unanimous
satisfaction here, as Mr. Walker is an

of the class of ’87, and will no doubt make
a big success out of the flourishing
school.

does not take a large retinue along with
him, and like him he has only his private
secretary and a friend. Dan Laraont here
takes the place of Tobias Lear, and, I sup
pose, we may put Cleveland's law partner
Bissetl in the place of Washington’s official
secretary, Muj. Jackson. A newspaper
letter was published some time ago
stating that President Monroe was the
first executive traveler. This Is a mistake,
for Washington took two other trips beside
tbe one here mentioned. He wanted Mrs.
Washington to go with him upon these
excursions, but she would not, and in this
respect our president will have the advan
tage of his uri at-predecessor.
President Cleveland is a good traveler.
He takes things easily nnd does not worry
about details. He will have a special car,
and will have a bathroom, bedroom and
sitting room in it. There will lie plenty
of easy chairs and a piano, and the win
dows will tie so large that the president
can see as well as though ho were on the
roof. He will undoubtedly have a good
caterer along with him, and the party will
never lack sandwiches and Apoilinaris
water. His car will; I understand, be at
tached to the regular train, and such
newspaper .fallow him as special
correspondent?-will have the ordinary
sleepers at the regular rates.
President Cleveland adopts a new policy
in not taking his cabinet along with him.
I don’t know but it is the proper one.

such. Jackson made a similar tour, and

Church Aisle.
Madison, Wis., Oct. 4.—[Special.]—
An interesting church row lias been pre-
ci pi I a ted as the result of the President's
prospective visit. It was announced that
the President and wife would attend di
vine service October 9th, at Grace Epis
copal church, with Vilas' family. The
church authorities then gave out inform
ation that to avoid a crush cards of ad
mission would be issued for that partic-
lar service.
This provoked a prominent member of
the churchly to publish a communication
sharply denouncing such a plan as un
church to the farthest degree, and inti
mated that it was on the line of intoler
able snobbery. The rector of the church
made a hot reply through the press,
claiming that the plan while it had not
been formerly accepted, was by no
means unprecedented. The fun of the

any one of the presidents, withoat it be
perhaps Washington, has looked back
over a trip of this kind with entire satis
faction. Johnson certainly did not, for he
lost hy his trip what little respect yet re
mained for him among the people of the

unpleasant occurrences during his trip,
which extended from Washington through

President Cleveland avoids one great

skirts in disgust and declared she wouldn’t
enter, and the others were so new that
she decided they were not worth seeing;
but early as was the hour, there were
numbers of Mexican women of all classes
going into or coming out of them, and
I mnst confess to seeing several
that I thought beautiful, with lovely
dark eyes, luxuriant black hair and a su-
l»erb walk, but my little woman declared
that their complexions were like old paste
and their forms like cows, so we did not
quite agree, and turned our steps down ft
narrow street where she soon uttered an
exclamation of delight. She had found a
baby! It is astonishing what a sort of Ma
sonic attraction a baby causes between
women. They don’t know why, but so it
is, and in a moment the little Americano
was seated on a rude bench holding the
baby and talking Volapuk to it. The
mother and baby both understood, and
boll* smiled with delight.
By and by I suggested that she leave
the baby and come back to the hotel for
breakfast, bat no; she was going to
stay there and see the house—the
Interior; and she did. The shy
Mexican woman took her in and
her down on a cot made of
rustic wood and rawhide, with wool mat
tresses and pillows, and with coverings of
red satin, and these covered again with
that beautiful hand made lace which none
but these women can make. There were
three immense camphor wood tranks,
studded with brass nails, and from these
the woman took out piles of snowy linen
undergarments, all elaborately worked in
exquisite patterns, some of the work be
ing over a foot deep.
She made the visitors understand that
these were in part done by herself and
part by her ancestors as far back as four
generations, and she delighted the little
woman by making her a present of a nap

pulling out threads and sewing others in

The little woman retaliated by taking off
a gold locket and tying it around the
baby’s neck.
While we were talking with her—I say
talking because we certainly all did talk,
though no one but the baby seemed to
take real comfort from the conversation—
we heard the most unearthly shrieks and
screams and groans and shouts approach
ing. The little woman turned pale, but
the Mexican laughed, and as we neared
the door we saw an ox cart coming down
the ill paved, dirty and deserted
street It was of the most primi
tive construction and the wheels were
simply sections of logs with axles
of wood, and these wheels turning
on those axles, which never heard of
grease, made that awful noise, and the
driver’s shouts to his oxen added the
touch of the master.
We seized this occasion to leave and
went back to the hotel, having seen all
there was in Laredo and finding it hardly
worth the trouble. We asked for break

Governor Brown, when he aras before

A Royal Reception.
Prince, Pendant and Publican.
The people of Norwood, England, are
telling a story of a prince, a pendant and
a publican. The prince is the crown
prince of Germany, and the pendant a
diamond one, which he presented to the
wife of the manager of the hotel in Nor
wood where ho passed a few weeks this
summer. After the departure of his
royal highness, the lady, who is evi
dently a fine business woman, carried
the pendant to a local appraiser to learn
the exact value of tho, kingly largesse.
One should not look a gift horse in the
mouth, but business is business. The
local appraiser had unpleasant things to
say, and stated that the diamonds were
not diamonds at all, but paste. There
upon the manager wrote not without in
dignation to the official in bis royal high

his wife to wear paste. There was no

that passenger trains were tracked ten
and fifteen minutes before the special

The Third street depot, at which the

of the car, cheers almost deafening in
volume blended with the booming of the
cannon.
The president was accompanied to the
first carriage, where ho was seated facing
Major Roche and Governor Oglesby.
This carriage was drawn by 4 splendid
horses with postillions. The other mem
bers of the president’s party and the re

CEN. HOKE’S VISIT TO ATHENS AND
LAWRENCEVILLE- -
Th« X'rogreRa of the Work -Why They Atv
Ho Slow- A Thorough System of Hurreyi-
A Bridge Bulliter la. Alkwn What Ooa.
Hoke Says,
Gen. Hoke’s visit to Athens on Tnes-
flay was a very satisfactory one. He
worked quietly and effectoafiy, and met
his directors in their meeting here.
In an interview with a' prominent of
ficial of this road yesterday, he assured
us that work was progressing satisfactor
ily on this line and that the company
wore thoroughly in earnest
There has been much criticism of the
management of this enterprise for their
slowness in commencing grading on this
part of this line. They have made sever
al surveys and have kept their forces out
surveying in different directions. A well
known Athens lawyer says the proceed
ings reminds him of the comment of an
Athens darkey on tho Norwood campaign
in Athens. Collections wore heavy;
the brass band used to parade the streets
every day, but the followers were tew.
“Golly, boss, wo are blowing our
money away,” said the solitary Norwood
African. So he thought the road was
surveying its funds away, instead of
building.
The tact is the progress has been slow,
and in the uncertain condition of railroad
lines in Georgia, ho one knew exactly
what would be the outcome of all this
planning and surveying. And no one
knows yet, with certainty. But tho
work is being very thoroughly done, so
far as it goes. The lines are run and re
viewed and changed until the engineer
in charge is convinced that the best pos
sible route has been selected. The plats
and maps and designs and drawings
made in the offices of the company in
Athens show careful and expensive
work, indicating that the road means
business and is not engaged in feints or
empty threats against rival lines.
In Athens, on Wednesday, at the same
time with Gen. Hoke, was a prominent
Philadelphia bridge builder, who is plan
ning for a passage of the road across Ca
tawba River. There are twenty miles of
this road already builL and forty miles
in the Carolines are under process of con
struction.
Gen. Hoke left Athens for Lawrence-
ville, and on this trip will decide upon
the direction which the road will take
after leaving Athens. This survey is
across the country and will involve somo
heavy w'ork. Although the force is tak
ing its time to prepare a thorough sur
vey, we have been assured that there is
no unnecessary delay.
While Gen. Hoke was in Athens ho
was waited upon by a Banner-Watch
man reporter The latter was pleasantly
received, but the North Carolinian did
not volunteer any railroad news.
“General, what is tho latest about
your road?”
“Really, sir, I have nothing to tell.”
“General, we want you to come around
to our office and give us some informa
tion for the people?”
“O, excuse me. I would not go for
five nundred dollars. You are making
the people believe that the road is bound
to be built and they will not subscribe a
cent?”
“General, have you decided on your
route to Atlanta? ’
“Not yet, sir.”
An expert engineer in Athens remark
ed to the Banner-Watchman yesterday
that the character of work done by the
G., C, & N. corys reminded him of an
English survey, where the lines are
short and every detail is carefully noted
and skillfully plotted. Larger sums are
expended there in this sort of work and
more time taken than we are accustom ■

those youngsters worked would surprise

discontent that comes over the average

Our Prominent Stove Dealer, Makes Hls
Announcement to the Public.
For seventeen years the name of Jones
has been identified with the stove and
tin business of Athens, and in that time
the gentleman whose name heads this
article has made himself favorably
known to the entire trading district of
Athens—so much so that theideaof pur
chasing a stove is always accompanied
with the thought that Jones is the prop
er man to consult. In July last Mr.
Jones disposed of his interest in the firra
of Maddrey & Jones, of which he was
the managing partner, and opened a con
cern of his own on the corner of Broad
and Wall streets, and from the time that
his stock arrived has been shipping
goods os ifhis concern had been there
for years. In addition to his sales de
partment, Mr. Jones has a commodious
tin shop and a competent force of tin
ners, who have worked with him for
some years, and are thoroughly known
as reliable workmen. The large num
ber of tinning contracts awarded him
since his opening on his own account,
testifies to the fact that our people have
the utmost confidence in his ability
to faithfully discharge every contract
which he undertakes. Mr. Jones also
informs us that his wholesale trade has
been all that he could well attend to, hav
ing sold stoves to dealers who have hith
erto purchased elsewhere, and the de
mand for his tinware, every piece of
which he brands with his name as a
guarantee of superiority, has taxed his
workmen to the utmost to fill orders. Mr.
Jones has always been aliberal patron of
the newspaper as the best means of let
ting the people know the advantages he
has to offer and like all good advertis
ers, has met with a full measure of suc
cess in his business. With a full and
complete line of the best makes of stoves
and a corps of excellent workmen, back
ed by a reputation for business integrity
and capacity, Mr. Jones is too well
known to need commendation at our
hands. However, we will again com
mend him and his establishment to tbe
readers of our daily and weekly, where
his advertisement will be found.
