THE ATHENS BANNER: TUESDAY MORNING JUNE 30, 1891
===
THE MIDSUMMER FESTIVAL-
The subject of this editorial 1b an
old and familiar one, bnt it is good
enough to write about to the people
of Athens.
In the heat of a prohibition cam*
paign it is natural that every thing
else should be swallowed up in its
excitement and discussion.
But we bug you to remember that I J une 29th
you are still citizens of Athens
whichever side wins; that her in
terests are still your interests, and
that for her good and her advance

The Alliance Bally to be held In
Athens on July 16th will be a grand
affair. Distinguished orators and
lectqreis from all over the country
will be here.
Georgia has four rallies and Ath
ens is its most eastern meeting point
Hence from all of eastern Georgia
and even from South Carolina, the
farmers will flock to the Classic City
of Georgia.
There will be fully twenty thou
sand people here and the gates of the
city will be opened wide so receive
them, and the homes of the people
bid them welcome to an unstinted
hospitality.
To all this we should add our
midsummer festival, a grand trades
display which will show to all the
visitors that Athens is abreast of the
times and marching on to the con
summation of a glorious fntnre.
Let every citizen feel a personal
interest in this matter and when
Mayor Brown calls his meeting in a
few days let everybody come forward
with aid and support and make it
the grand success it richly deserves
to be.

WESTERN DEMOCRACY.
It is my intention to realize the money lor a large quantity of goods. To do this I have cut the prices in every piece of goods in the house. We have marked every.
The signs of the times point I thing in plain figures, therefore if you cannot wait until you get a salesman or saleslady, Belect your own goods, go to the wrapper counter and have it sent to you. The store

cracy in 1892; harmonious in action,
and untrammelled by the influence
of any internal discard.
The latest democratic gains are in
the West, just where strength has
been most needed. Bat now things
are sailing smoothly, and Western
democracy is strong and united
Iowa is now a thoroughly democratic
State, and others in the surround
ing section are fast following in its
footsteps.
Two years ago Horace Boies was
elected governor by the democratic
- of that State, and the other
was renominated, and his re*
election is almost an assured fact.
The newly admitted States are,
most of them rapidly embracing de
mocracy, and it is only a qnesiion of
time when the tide of public opinion
in the West will turn in favor of
honest government.
The Alliance is strong in the West
and if there is a third party move
ment the draft from the republican
ranks will be heavily felt Bnt if
the democrats will nominate a man
who will stand broadly on a platform
of tariff reform and free silver, with
some Alliance views, the strength of
this class will be thrown to their can
didate.
We confidently believe *hat,
Mr. Carlisle says, if the democrats
will nominate any honest man, who
will stand on a broad platform, they
may he sure of success in ’92.

lawyers, nor professors of law in the
State’s “ownest” school but who do
“pay the freight”—need not consider
whether or not the proposition is
constitutional or not. What they do
want to know is whether they will
derive any benefit or not.
We sorely agree with the Age that
the people of Georgia should know
whether they will derive any benefit
or not. Bat we are of the opinion,
as we have always been, that an ex
hibit wonld do great good to the
people of the State.
An honest discussion by the peo
ple at home and their representatives
at the Capitol, is ail that could be
asked.
And when that is done we are sat
isfied that the State will provide for
a creditable exhibit.
The farmers mast find a remedy.
What is it?
THE PRICE OF ATHENS DIRT.
The land sales juBt concluded by
the Athens Park & Improvement
Company demonstrates the fact that
Athens dirt has a good value at
tached to it. The prices brought by
the different pieces of property were
good ones and yet not fabulous.
They were bought at bargains and
will bring good profits to the buyers.
The resnits of the sale show- con*
clnsively that the people inside and
outside of Athens have confidence in
her futufe.

THE WORLD’S FAIR.
The Harmony Grove Age is oat in
a long editorial against the appropri*
ation of money by the State for an
exhibit at the World’s fair.
The common tax payers of the
State have no interest whatever in
the fair, and will not be benefited
one iota by it. The proposition has
been advanced, and is advocated by
Professor Cobb of the State Univer
sity to appropriate a portion of the
rental of the W. and A. B. R. for the
purpose. Professor Cobb claims that
it will be with in the jurisdiction of
tho Legislature constitutionally to
make snob appropriation, but he is
antoganized by so great a lawyer as
exrCongressman N. J. Hammond,
who say* it wtuld be clearly against
the letter and spirit of the constitu
tion to use any of the money re
ceived from the state road for such
purpose.
If Andrew Cobb, who is professor
of law in the State University, and
l. Hammond, who is accounted one
i greatest constitutional lawyers
i State, are of exactly opposite

SOME FACTS ABOUT COTTON.
There seems to have been an over*,
production of cotton daring the last
season. The &npply was far ahead
of the demand, and left thousands of
bales stored away in warehouses du
ring the winter. This cotton is now
on the market, and with this sea
son’s crop.the market will be so over
stocked that not only will the price
be considerably lowered, bat it will
be a hard matter to sell it at all.
Since last summer cotton has fall
en off at an average of 2± cents per
pound, which is 20 per cent, of the
whole price of the staple. The sit
uation to the farmer is appalling.
Bnt this year’s crop is somewhat
short, as some of the farmers have
realized what the situation wonld be,
and have devoted more of their land
to the cultivation of other crops.
This, however, is not sufficient to re
lieve the situation. The laws of de»
mand and snpply are striogent, and
to these we most conform. If more
cotton is produced than the consu
mers demand, the result must be a
lowering of price*-, and sometimes a
dead loss.
Here we see ibe evil effects which
o.er-production w uM bring about.
Cotton would be skuoU up in ware
houses ; storage, iuaurance aud in-*
terest must be paid, and at the end
of the season when thousands of bales
are left on the market, they must be
sold for what they will bring to pay
the charges.
ored men of the North and Sotatb
have issued an appeal to their race
to do everything possible for the
promotion of tho Colored Depart
ment of a Southern Exposition soon
to be held at Raleigh. Twenty-five
thousand square feet have'been set
apart for the~ exhibits of the colored
people, a space, we believe, hot much
less than the entire area allotted to
this country at Jthe Paris Exposition
of 1882. The Colored Department
at the Raleigh show will be trans
ferred to Chicago in 1893. The cir
cular urges “every negro who has
the best interests of the race at heart”
