ner.
A severe rain and hail storm
passed just below us a few days since.
The crops in*Beaverdam district were
greatly damaged. Seme say it was
the heaviest rain and hail they ever
saw fall. Ilail stones as large as a
man’s thumb were seen in abundance
and tbe cotton was literally beat into
the grouud or washed away. The
crops in bottom lands in many places
were washed entirely away; tiuiDers
and fences were very much damaged.
Mr. Juo. Carter had a fine mule
killed by a falling tree. The entire
damage we have not learned, but the
entire section received more or less
damage.
Fresh Groceries.
It is always important to know
where you can get groceries of the
best quality and at the lowest prices.
This information is given iu the ad
vertisement of Messrs. Parker & Camp
Bros, in the Banner to-day. An in
spection of their stock will verify what
they say. It is large and varied and
has been bought to suit the trade ot
Atliens and the surrounding country.
Mr. Parker has been in business lieie
long enough to know just what is
needed and has supplied it. He and
the Messrs. Camp, will be found ft all
times polite and attentive and no one
will have cause to complain in trading
with them. We can commend their
goods to purchasers. In heavy gros
ceries, such as flour, sugars, coffee,
etc., they keep the best, while their
fancy goods are always fresh. It will
be difficult to call for anything they
haven’t got. We hope our readers
will call and trade with them.
horrible accident had just occurred by ]
which one man was killed outright
and another so badly wounded that
he could not survive. An inquiry
disclosed the fact that the un tortus
nate men were Mr. Lewis Reese and
Mr. Andrew Ross, the former being
killed and the latter seriously bruised
and mutilated. As we gathered the
facts from those at the factory who
saw the men immediately after the
accident we learn that they were by
themselves, and no one saw them at
the time the explosion occurred. For
several months blasting has been going
on at the factory for the purpose of
clearing the rockajout of the river
where they interfered with tho sup
ply of water.
These men were down in the race
where the water comes from the wheel
and were preparing a heavy blast. It
seems that they always prepared sev
eral and had them ready to explode
when the hands in the factory were
at dinuer. They were packing in
tho powder, paper and other material
used when suddenly and without
warning fire was communicated and
it went off with the dreadful result
mentioned.
Mr. Reese was found lying face
downward on some rocks over which
the water was pouring and about
eight feet from the blast. Mr. Ross
was a few leet away making an effort
to scramble up the embankment, but
unable to do so. Mr. Reese was dead
when the hands about tbe mill reached
him and Mr. Ross was bleeding ter
ribly. He had powder burnt into his
flesh and was badly lacerated.
Soon after the occurrence the men
were removed to their respective
hemes, where an inquest was held
this afternoon. We will give to-mor
row any additional tacts the inquest
may disclose.

A Corner In Cotton.
It has been stated that a corner can
be made in almost everything except
the great staple, but it seems this is
not entitled to be called an exception,
since it is stated that the English
spinners are doing their best to de
press the price; and prevent the short
crop from bringing any more in pros
portion than that ot last year. They
are doing this by stopping their mills
er running on short time with the
hope of decreasing the demand. But
it is not likely the matter will work
to their benefit after ail, as speculators
are realizing that the^price mast go up
and are buying aud holding all they
can get. The spinners wifi likely pay
good price after all, and their
foolish move wifi have the effect of
hurting themselves and the producer,
while the men who can hold the crop
wifi fatten.
Our farmers are almost obliged to
sell as fast as they cm get their crops
to market and are now getting less
than they did a month ago, with the
price tending still lowei. Those who
wifi think about it mnst see that tbe
short crop is obliged to increase the
price at some time, ss the demand
will be greater than the supply. If
the producers cobid hold what they
make or a greater part of it, they
would get Um benefit of the increased
price when it comes, aud it would
come all the sooner if they were tbe
holders. We hope that those of our
planters who can do so, wifi hold a
portion of tlieir crops.
Thnt Stephenson Murder Case.
Our readers remember the report
of the shooting of Mrs. Stephenson in
Gwinnett county about six weeks ago
by her step-nephew also named Ster
phenson, and the excitement that pres
vailed on account of it. It has been
a remarkable case in some respeois,
and lias served as the principal topic
ot interest since in all the section
around where it occurred. The most
remarkable thing connected with it is
that the woman has not died, though
there has not been a day when it was
not said there no hope of her recov
ery. It. was thought that she must die
in less than a week, bnt she has lin
gered for six weeks. The same report
is now made that she cannot get well
The testimony before the committing
court allowed that tbe gun used was
an old army musket It was loaded
with balls which the prisoner moulded
himself The gun moulds and one or
tww of the balls have been found.
Since the shooting the superior court
has been in session and an application
was made to Judge Erwin to fix the
bail for the prisoner’s release. He said
he would do so ; and named $15,000
as the amount, which was a virtual
denial, as there was no hope of Ste
phenson giving it. The Judge did
not intend that he should get out
merely to ran away and escape jn»
tice, as he certainly would do. The
trial was not held because no one
could tell the result of the wounds,
and if she dies, as it is believed she
must, it would not do to try him for
a less offense than murder. In the
wounds tbe woman received, and the
fact that she haa survived so long there
is some similarity to the case ot tbe
dead president. It has seemed impos
sible that she could live a week long
er at any stage of her case, and yet
she is still alive. Instead of one wound
as the president received, she has
three, all of them in the back near tbe
kidneys. One of the balls is lodged
in her spine and it is dangerous to
attempt to extract it for fear of her
immediate death.
Altogether the case is decidedly
interesting, and we wifi keep onr read'
era posted about it as it progresses.
In the meeting at Deupree Opera
house Monday to consider the ques
tion of a railroad to Jefferson there
were not so many of onr citizens as
[ was desirable, but if all who were
not there wifi come to the aid of those
who feel most interested in it, the
road can be built.
As we stated Monday speeches were
made by several gentlemen, all ad
mitting the necessity for the road and
urging the prompt action of our peo
ple. Col. Thurmond showed that by
raising the amount necessary to grade
and place crossties on the road the
money could be turned over to the
board of directors, and the work
would be done by them. They are
pushing the work on tbe other side of
Jefferson, building half a mile a week
and by March the road would be in
running order! He said our people
could thus save their trade and secure
more. If they desired after a while
they could build a branch to Jug
Tavern. With the road to Jefferson
we would soon have a direct line to
Dahlooega and possibly beyond.
Judge II. W. |Bell, Ordinary of
Jackson county, and onejof the direc
tors of the G. J. & S. road stated the
condition of the Toad at present. He
said the work had reached to within
miles of Jefferson. The work had
all been paid for up to this time. Ar
rangements have been made to equip
tbe road as soon as it is ready. The
work of laying the iron wifi commence
in two weeks, $245,000 of bonds
have been negotiated. He felt sure
that if Athens wifi raise the amount
necessary to grade and crosstie the
road the directors will accept it and
build this end ot the line. He made
other statements calculated to encour
age Athens to proceed at ouce in this
matter.
•Judge W. B. Thomas said we must
have the road, but his plan was that
Athens should control it and not let
the Gainesville directors who are hos
tile to us have anything to do with it.
He was assured that if 815,000 was
raised here the balance necessary to
grade and equip it would be forth
coming from men connected with the
Richmond and Danville company.
Coi. Thurmond did not agree with
Judge Thomas’ idea. He thought it
was afire brand and would cheat ui
out of our road. He believed if Ath'
ens would do her dutv as he had indi
cated, she would have no difficulty in
controlling the trade. He understood
the Gainesville idea to be to get a
competing line and she was right.
The road would be built to Monroe
but that would not hurt Athens. We
have the best market, as good as Aa
gusta or Atlanta, and Gainesville
would have no reason to fight us
she got the road she wanted.
Hon. Emory Speer thought we
ought to raise the money at once. Tbe
road is a necessity and the plan is ot
no great consequence so the road is
built
Hon. Pope Barrow believed if Ath
ens would raise enough money she
could control the whole road. At any
rate, it ought to be built. Gen. Phil
lips had told him that a road would
be built from Ball Ground to Dahlon-
ega and when this was done, if we
had the Jefferson road, there would
be a continuous line of 90 miles long
of narrow gauge road lrom Athens
into the best part of the north coun
try. He insisted that our people re
spond liberally.
The committee consi-ting of R.
B. Russell, S. P. Thurmond,
W. D. O’Farrell, J. E. Tal-

BURKE COUNTY VENDETTA.
Fire Men Settle a Dispute br Killing Two or
tthe Part) aud TSeriously,Wounding a
Third—The Two Bemmlniag Escape.
A horrible tragedy occnned yes
terday a short distance from Augusta
and just beyond our county line in
Burke. A parly of five citizens had
gathered at the office of Magistrate
Duncan Cjx, near Green’s cut, for
tor the settlement of a legal difficulty
and in a dispute which followed two
of the party were killed, another seri
ously wounded, the whole crowd en-
gaging in a general ptBtol practice.
Minute particulars are impossible
to-day, and, indeed, the affair is re
ported by eye witnesses and parties in
the neighborhood to have been so
sudden and so mixed up that it is im
possible to say who shot first or who
fired the fatal bullets. The general
facts are clear, however' and horrible
indeed.
Mr. Thomas Smith and his two
sons, Arthur and Mike, were on one
side of the conflict, and Messrs.
Charles J. Walker and Ed Palmer on
the other. Arthur Smith was shot
and killed by either Palmer or Walk
er, and Walker was killed by Tom
.Smith, the father. Mike Smith was
seriously wounded, and it was thought
last night that he could not recover.
At last accounts the two men es
caped unharmed in the general shoot
ing and had not been arrested. C. J.
Walker is well known as a son of Col.
A. C. Walker, and is remembered as
the man wbo shot a Mr. Miller,in the
famous Green’s Cut tragedy of several
years ago.
The affair creates a great sensation
in the neighborhood, and beside the
inquests which are held, the matter
wifi undergo a thorough investigation.
Nothing is known of the origin of the
quarrel and the fatal and bloody ven
detta beyond the fact that it was a
magistrate’s court difficulty.
Col. Jack Brown, of Georgia, is
irrepressible. He visited President
Arthur, the other day, at the head of
a delegation, and requested the ap
pointment ot W. W. Hicks, late ot
Florida, as Postmaster General Ther a
is nothing like being early enough,
and Col. Jack Brown is always early.

Senator Lamar's Views.
Mobile, September 24.—Senator
Lamar was interviewed by a reporter,
and said : ‘I cannot say that I antici
pate a conservative administration
under President Arthur, at least if I
am allowed to judge by his present
antecedents. He bas hitherto acted,
if not under the inspiration of Mr.
Conkling, in closest sympathy and
co-operation with the views of the
Senator from New York. There is
nevertheless everything in the the sur
rounding conditions of his accession
to power to promote a departure
from what would have been bis orig
inal policy, and he cannot possibly
pursue a very stalwart one and one
of reaction against tbe conservative
methods instituted by Mr. Hayes and
followed by Mr. Garfield, without
coming into direct conflict with the
rulings and tendencies of the times.’
Indictment Indications.
The New Jersey authorities have
notified District Attorney Corkhill
that no requisition wifi be made for
Guiteau. His indictment wifi prob
ably be secured early this week, and
trial speedily follow. Though noth'
ing has been heard from Scoville,
Guiteao’s brother-in -law, who has
been asked to defend him. Guiteau
says ho will leave the matter entire
ly in Scoville’s hands.
■ A Horrible Story of Cruelty.
|- |An extraordinary and almost in
credible story of cruelty comes trom
Jersey City, where a mother is charg
ed with deliberately starving her child
to death, aud announcing its death,
providing a coffin, and actually ar
ranging the body as if for burial be
fore it had breathed its last. When
its condition was discovered, starva
tion was so far advanced that life
could not be saved. This remarkable
parent is charged by her own sister
with having lost three ol L or children
in the same way.
A Singular Fact.
N. JY. Son.
It sterns singular, if not altogether
inexplicable, that the only successful
attempts to assassinate rulers, during
the present century, should have oc
curred in Russia aud the United
States— one under an absolute des
potism and the other under republi
can government
Friendship.
A true friend is one who loves us
for wliat we are, not for what we have;
such a one will stand by us in joy or
sorrow, poverty or wealth. While a
mean, fake one wifi leave us when
misfortune comes. True friendship is
of greater value than diamonds,
watches or jewelry ; but if we prefer
the diamonds and jewelry, let us go to
Skiff, the jeweler, welwili find watches,
jewelry, and a friend.
