Editor Harry Brown, Col. Gantt’s associate editor of the Southern Alli ance Farmer, writes an interesting edi torial in that paper this week about the third party movement. He signs his name to the article. The Banner prints it because the Ban nrr is glad to see Editor Brown asking that the party be laid on the shelf, even temporarily. The Banner believes, however, that this editorial is entirely too mild. The faruers of Georgia want no Republicanism in their soup even in mild and broken doses. But here’s the editorial: There has been much said and writ ten since the people’s party met in Cin cinnaHi about a third for 1892 Allow me to say that the Ocala con vention had under consideration tb£ third party movement, and did not'Ap prove of it nor did they authorize any Allianceman to abvocate it as an Al- liancetnan. Neither has the Georgia state alliance passed upon this momen tous question. Therefore the Southern Alliance Farmer has not in any way been authorized to favor a third party move, and .brethren, our success up to date is largely d^e tf> the fact that we have at all times cautiously and closely scrutinized eyerj step to be ta ken, and then committed our plans and purpose ipto the hands of our leaders, and almost to a mgn we have stood firm, and victory has been the result. The time may come when the state and national alliance will take action on this matter and until that is done it will be the policy of this paper to .continue to educate the people upon .rte de mands of the order, and endeavor to persuade Alliancemen to stand togeth er as a upit for relief. Congr- -s will meet next fall and our effort should he to presect an unbroken front so as to secure the much needed relief. Let the third party move as inapgp> .ted at Cincinnati stand one side at !• ast un til we are authorized to express our opinion for or against it. When our State and national bodies act then will be the time for our brethren t» fall in on the line indicated by those representative < bod ies.

Burn ® tt spolce |in a manly in »i\ Fpirited manner and said »cr,"' 5 us to the end The party of Georgia editors left San dusky Saturday iu a special sleeper over the Big Four road for Cincinnati. They carried with them pleasant memories of their visit to the matchless islands of Lake Erie, the vine and orchard clad slopes of the Peninsula and the rock founded city of Sandusky—above all, of the genuine hospitality of the people. The party arrived at Put-in-Bay Friday noon on the elegant steamer Frank E. Kirby, having bad phnty of company down there being on board an excursion of 856 persons. The party were met at Put in Bay by Messrs. F. H. Glessuer, editor of the Findlay Courier; T. C. Reynolds, man ager of the Akron Beacon, and Juo T. Mack, of the Register, on behalf ol the Associated Ohio Dailies, and these members of the Ohio fraternity re mained with their Georgia brethren till their departure for Cincinnatti. After dinner at the Beebe house, the party boarded the steamer Shearwater, of the United States fish commission, kindly placed at their disposal by Su perintendent Stranaban, of the Put in Bay hatchery. The hatchery was vis ited and Superintendent Stranaban ex plained its operations much to the in terest of the Georgians; then Middle Bass Club house and grounds were vis ited and the party given a cordial wel come by the Veteran Wm. Rehberg. Mr. Wehrle’s magnificent giounds and immense wine cellars were next visited and the Georgians gazed upon casks storing 500,000 gallons of wine, in one cellar they saw twenty casks that alone held 100,000 gallons. When Mr. Wehrle showed them two casks occupying one eutire room and holding 14,112 and 14,332 gallons respectively, Cabaniss, of the Atlanta Journal, wan ted to be immersed in one and Bangston, of the Ringgold New Suutb, Wept be cause be couldn’t take the largest one home with him. Returning to Put-in-Bay Mr. V. Dol lar met the party and conveyed them in carriages to Hotel Victory. Its enor mity was fairly overpowering to seme of the party ; and all pronounced io the most gigantic hosted y they had seen in their travels. Mr. Geo. Feick is work ing a force of nearly sixty carpenters and within a week or ten days will have the windows, casings and 'blinds set. The lathers are well along with their work and the play masters have the two upper stories nearly finished. The president and general manager of the Thomson Houston Electric works were at the island iu the in terest of the Electric railway. The general impression among the contractors is that the work will be ushed steadily forward to completion, t is yet a question, however, whether a portion of the building can be com pleted in time for opening this season. After returning to the village the irty boarded the fast steamer meri- can Eagle for a trip to Kelley’s Island, Capt. Meagle having tendered the trip complimentary to the Georgians. At Kelley’s island a delegation of its whole-souled citizens, under the lead ership of Henry Eifers, awaited the party’s arrival, and on landing the vis itors were escorted to carriages, and for three hours enjoyed one of the most de lightful drives possible for a body of men interested in looking up the fruit and wine industries. The vineyards of Messrs. Clms. Seaholzer, Louis Beatty, Wm. Becker and the Sweet Valley Wine company were visited and the process of grape growing and wine making fully explained. The visitors saw for the first time the Pasteur wine filter in operation, filtering the wine througu a cluster of sixty six or eighty-eight tubes, as the s ze of the filter may be, and removing abso lutely all deposits and germ properties iu the wine. The great north quarries and the steel lime kilns of the Kelley’s Island and Transport company were visited and much interest was taken in inspec ting the famous glacial £ro\es in the FOck, a section of which, 50 feet in length and well exposed, has recently been given to the State Geological soci ety by Mr. Younglove, of Cleveland, representing the company, for preserva tion—a most commendable gift. The great still wine and champagne cellars ol the Kelley’s Island Wine company were then visited and before taking tbeir departure the Georgians were served with a champagne lunch. Re turning to Putrin-Bay, the waves of old Erie rolling high and tossing the boat like a cork, the party were served with an excellent supper at the Beebe and sought the peaceful sleep that al ways awaits a Georgia editor with ' clear conscience. Brother Tom Hicks, of the Dublin Post, was the orator of the evening, Thomas is not an Irishman, though born aud reared in Dublin, hut a gen- visitors, closing by their request, with torching Through Georgia,” which Captxin John Tripplett, of the Thorn- asville Times-Enterprue a veteran Southerner of the true type, said was the grandest air of all the war songs on b “' sides x It '-as after 11 o’clock when the gang- p.autc of the Eagle was crossed and I the party started for Johnson’s Island and their final stop, Sandusky, The strong north'ast wind blowing all night had lashed the sea into fury and some >>f the Georgians were given an experience they had never had- “Are* we almost there?” gasped Calloway, of the La- Grange Reporter, and when told he was he exclaimed with triumphant unction, ‘‘Thank God.” Rjm Crawford, oi the Athens Banner, said that was the first pious exclamation the party ; had beard from Calloway since they left Georgia. Coming into the bay tbe visitors were lauded at Johnson’s Island, walked io the little Confederate cemetery, situa ted in the grove of young forest trees on East point, and there they saw tbe 206 Georgia marble slabs that rise above the low green mounds be neath which sleeps some of the flower of the South of twenty-five years ago. The Georgians were much inter ested ; they were deeply impressed with the scene. Some found the graves of relatives and placed upon them clus ters of wild flowers they plncked in the grass. The visitors saw the great ne cessity of tbe further improvement sug gested. . The Register some time ago— that of grading the grounds, laying out the walks aud trimming the trees, it is to be hoped that the visit of the Geor- AFTER THE BATTLE- THE SMOKE LIFTS AND AWAY, ROLLS THE RESULT DECLARED.

The clash of opposing factions is hash ed,and ‘-Peace reigns in Warsaw.” The morning sun rose in splendor over a dry town, and its first rays fell upon a people re-united after one of the most heated contests in the annals of old Clarke county. v Eery where could be seen little groups of men chatting each other pleasantly, some antis and some prohis, and the harden of their conversation was the The visitors saw' the great ne- | q ilet and dignifled|iranner in which the campaign had been conducted and tbe utter lack of bitterness on either side.

Montqoxkby, July 2.—For some time the matter of putting speakers in the field to wage a campaign against Alli- [ once principles has been discussed in some of the lea ling Democratic papers of the state, and in some of the papers the state executive committee of the party was called upon to take steps to carry the suggestion into effect. It is stated by Colonel H. C. Tomp kins, chairman of the state executive committee, that he haa received offers from several prominent party leaders to enter such a canvass, if requested by the executive committee. In pursuance of all that has been said and done, a letter has been sent to each member of the committee calling for a special meeting in this city next Mon day. At this meeting the committee will consider the proposition to put 1 leers into the field to head off the ionce, but they will also consider the subject of co-operating with the na tional organization of Democratic clubs to organize such clubs throughout this state. As these questions have caused wide sad discussion* and much interest aughout the state, it is thought that the meeting will be largely attended.

States whose dead lie there in order that the land may be held in perpetuity against the possi bilitv of any future occupancy for other purposes. The visitors were also shown the Confederate prison grounds and the old remaining land marks pointed out and then left for Sandusky. A capital dinner served in courses had been prepared by General West at tbe West bouse, to which full justice was done by hungry tourists. A num ber of the Sandusky party that visited Georgia last spring with His Honor, exciting contest and each side had done its best. The very best of feeling was manifested on all sides and it Bhowed that no wounds of lasting na ture had been inflicted by unruly tongues during the canvass. Be it said to the praise of the anti- prohibitionists that they took defeat more gracefully than any party ever seen around Athens. They manfully acknowledged defeat by the small ma Mayor Buerkle, were at the West house jority recorded against them and yield- to welcome the visitors, and dinner over, took them in carriages for a driv- about the city. The Soldiers’ Home was visited. Gen. Manning F. Force, the commandant, gave the Georgians a cordial welcome and showed them through several of the buildings. The visitors were unanimous in sayiDg that it was the finest public institution iu its buildings they had seen. Mr. Ca baniss, of the Atlanta Journal, a gen tleman of extensive travel and an ex perienced journalist, said that he never lad seen so handsome a group of build ings. Returning to tbe city, a stop was made at Mr. H. Hommel’s noted cham pagne cellars and works where tbe party were shown the process of champagne making, and refreshed with the spark ling fluid that, figuratively, “cheers but does not inebriate.” It is too late to visit Cedar Point and that pleasure had to be left out. The few momems remaining were putin in specting the fish houses, especially the sturgeon and caviar houses of C. G Neilsen & Bros ,which was a new thing After supper at the West the visitors departed for the Queen City, amid hearty farewells. Major Glessner, the talented president of tbe Georgia Press association, said as he stepped on board the car. “We have been royally treated and we shall never forget our visit to tbe islands, the peninsula aud your city.” The people of Georgia will hear of it all through their tbrivin] daily and weekly journals Bcattere throughout the Empire State of the South. fully endorsed the idea.

HERB’S A QOOD ONE SUREJ An Old Citizen Gives the Banner a Wonderful Snake Story, ^ against the entire party. Bangston, who, after overcoming his natiiraldiffl deuce (?) will sometimes respond to calls, had goue back to Wehrle’s hall. He caught sight of tbe Detroit girls swing ing in tbe mazy dance and that settled it for further trips that afternoon and evening. President W. L. Glessuer’s orders bad no effect upon him* He was simply gone. Saturday more ing the party took the steamer Amencau Eagle tor Catawba Island. Here they were met by ten or twelve citizens of Catawba and Dan bury and for two and a half hours were ed the field with grace and dignity. Their leaders were all outspoken in their praise of the campaign and all avowed that no bitterness rankled in their hearts towards any man. They declared that their chief aim was for the good of this city and that their he st efforts would be enlisted ;in behalf of her future success. The prohibitionists are to be compli meuted upon their bearing after the victory. They struck bands with their opponents and exhibited that true magnanimity which marks the gentle man. They knew that on ly eleven votes was the differ ence, and recognized in their opponents an array of foemen worthy of tbeir steel. There were no free rides in wheel barrows yesterday.

Nashville, July 2.—Catherine Bib, colored, was convicted here of murder in the first degree, with mitigating cir cumstances. Her crime was one of the most cold-blooded and malicious in recent years, and resulted in the Beath of one woman and the almost fatal illness of another. It was two years ago Monday that Catherine Bib put a large dose of "Rough on Rats” in a coffee pot that she thought a negro named Grade wonld drink out of. The Grade woman bad succeeded her as cook for Luci ida Bedford, an aged negro woman, worth about $100,000. Grade, however, was preparing the coffee for her mistress who, with her friend, Mrs. Persons, drank the coffee. They became Tl very shortly afterwards arid Emily Persons died. Lucinda Bedford, however, re covered, and caused an investigation that resulted in Catherine’s arrest. She confessed the crime and was tried a year ago. The confession not being as evidence a mistrial resulted and after another year she was again tried. Judge Ridley admitted: the confession and after being out only a short time the verdict was brought in as stated above. HEATHEN RAGINGS- AFRICAN WARLIKE RACES KILLING CAPTIVES BY THE HUNDREDS.

Enthusiasm and good feeling had seized the city. At ten o’cl ck a large number of ladies met in thanksgiving service at the First Methodist church, and a few gentlemen were also present. All united in giving praise to God for the victory, and the second day of July was set apart as a memorial day Of thanksgiving. Mrs. J. W. Nicbolion offered to lead the meeting on July 2nd 1892. A littlr later in tbe day tbe official returns were consolidated by Ordinary Herrington. The county precincts re turned their ballots to the Ordinary London, July 2.—A letter just re ceived from Sierra Leone says that the vigilant suppression of the slave trade along the coast, and the consequent ina bility of the warlike races to dispose of their captives at a profit, has caused a revival in the most terrible form of the scenes of slaughter and bloodshed which formerly made every chief town cf the interior a Golgotha. Coomassie, it is said, has again wit nessed the killing of ae many as 200 vic tims in one day, and the death dram is heard in the streets even more frequent ly than before the British Ashantee ex pedition, when it-was hoped such scenes were put to an end forever. The savage Wangarns recently made ■ raid into Dagomba, completely de vastating the villages and carrying off over 2,000 captives. They were unable to get rid of the prisoners as slaves, and held a sacrifi cial feast, which lasted for three days, in which every captive perished, not even children being spared. It is uni versally admitted in the settlements that the approaching extinction of the slave trade in western Africa is making warfare more merciless than it used to be. NEITHER FOOD NOR DRINK Has Passed Down a Young Man’s Throat for Three Years. Brazil, Ind., July 2.—Charles Sch&n, a young man 22 years of age, was in the city applying to Trustee Dickson for a pass to Indianapolis. For three years neither food nor drink has passed down his throat. Schan came to Chicago from Germany about three years ago and was takan sick. The attending physician by mistake gave him carbolic acid, which so injured the throat as to make swal lowing impossible. A hole was cut into the stomach and a rubber hose inserted. He chews his food, which he afterward places into a funnel that is inserted into the end of the hose, and pushes it down into his stomach where it is digested. He can not even drink, and water is inserted in the same manner. He is on his way to the hospital at Indianapolis. J No Site Selected.
