Atlanta, Ga., July 1—- [Special]. All Atlanta is up in arms against the discrimination shown by the West Next year promises to be a bright and prosperous one with the Colleges of Athens. We read reports from all over the state of boys and girls who will come here next year io attend these institu tions. Through the state press we find that is the intention of many to take a course at Athens. The demand for catalogues so far has larger than usual. It seems that the advantages of an education here are becoming appreciated more and more every day, and that Georgia people are at last realizing the worth of their in stitutions. Especially gratifying is it to-note the great number who'express their in tention of coming here from the farm ing sections of Georgia. It has fre quently been mentioned in the country and one at Statesboro on Saturday. Williams.—Representative Ebb. -T.!

MORNING JULY 1891 THE ATHENS BANNER: TUESDAY FIVE TO ONE- It is interesting to look upon the 'statistics compiled by the Depart ment of War bearing upon the civil wtr, and there is something very striking in the great odds thus dis ■ played against which the South bad to battle. Following is a statement of the number of soldiers sent by each State to the Federal army : Alabama,.... 2,576 Ark«nua 8,289 California. 15,725 Colorado 4,908 Connecticut... .57,379 liakotah 206 Delaware 18,070 Diet. Colombia, 16,872 Illinois 252,147 Indiana 182.147 Iowa 76,809 Kansas. 20,151 Kentucky 79,025 Louisiana 5,224 Maine 72,114 Maryland 50,816 Massachusetts, 152,146 Minnesota, 25,052 Mississippi 645 From this table it is seen that total of 2,659 550 white soldiers were in the Federal army, coming from every State in the Union except four, Georgia, South Carolina Florida, and Virginia. Besides these white soldiers there were 3,540 Indians and 93,441 negroes, making a grand total of 2,756,441, so that the South con tended against at least four or five to one. Even the seceded States furnished more tories to the Union army, excepting the four named,than the same States had furnished sol diers tothe Revolution of our fore fathers. A correspondent to |the Banner calls our attention to the striking faqfc in this connection that New York and Pennsylvania alone sent to the army more soldiers than the Sonth, namely 833,154. The same is true of Blinds, Indiana and Ohio, they having sent out 770,953, mak ing 1,604,107, furnished by these five States. “Is it a wonder, then,” asks our correspondent, “that with five to one against us, the South was finally subjugated,Grant and Sherman hav ing countless hordes at their com mand, like Caesar and Alexander were deified, while Lee, Johnson, Jackson and Gordon are in obscu rity to the Northern mind and are left by the Government unwept, an honored and unsung ?” Everything Is Being Arranged to Make a Grand Display in the FaN- It begius to look as if Augusta was going to have a good show in the Fall. All arrangements for a grand Expo sition are now being made, and all indi cations point to a great success. Col. T»_ P. Henry, Secretary of the Exposition Company is sending the fol lowing circulars throughout the State: press that the numbers of fanners son’s sent to the University next year would be unusually large. The University is a College for farmers as well as for any other class of citizens and they can receive as much benfit at her hands, The Augusta Chronicle stated a few days ago that there would be five appli cants from the electric city, for admis sion into the University. Atlanta wdl do her full share. Last year ten per cent of the students were from the Gate City, and eight or ten others are booked for entrance in the fall. Columbus, Savannah, Macon, Rome and other cities of the State will all send large contingents than usual, and it is probable that with & good increase The Augusta Exposition will open i. .. . , . with impressive ceremonies November in tbe farD “ ,D g class, the number of 2, and continue until November 28. students will go far above two hundred Each day will be made attractive-and Changes have been made in the col interesting with ^ial programs. leKe carriculuin whioh & now on a much The Military prize anil ana Sham , . , . _ * battle together with a thorough por- h, « her ba818 tban ever before.

Atlanta, Ga., July 1-[Special.]— It was developed that the fund for en campment has about run out and there is a great probability of the Atlanta and Augusta companies having no encamp ment. The money has given out more rapid ly than expected and it is now found that something like three thousand dol lars will be needed in excess of the amount already provided. Quarter master General West 'acknowledges that the treasury is running low but ho stya the boys need not be worried as pro visions to raise the money will nndoubt edly be made. The boys are not however, so confl dent. At a meeting of the officers of the fourth Georgia Battalion, last night it was determined that, uukss the Gov ernor can guarantee that the money w 11 be forth coming, th«* forth Battalion will not go in camp. The only remedy seems to be in legislature, which may allow them to draw on n»xt year’s appr priation. iroint lermtnai nils ciuy* «uu the kick, if I may be allowed the ex pression, is long and loud. The immediate cause of it all is the increase of coal rates which so strongly affects every city in Georgia except Sa vannah. The old central policy of swinging everything in the interest of Savannah seems to still prevail, and all the rest of us have to suffer. The man ufaclurers are, in this instance, the im mediate sefferers, and possibly in the end, the sufferyr* also.

Take for example, Mr. Eli as Haiman, of the Southern Agricultu rul Works, who says that with the in creased rates that concern “will have to look for another location Capt. Boyd of Van Winkle’s talks in the same strain. These gentlemen show that Atlanta is beiDg discriminated against in rates all round. The Terminal company, which prom ised so much to Atlanta, and by these promises secured support which carried them through their fights before the legislature, seems to have gone to the other extreme, just as far as it was pos sible for hei to go. The men who were their friends in that fight have, there fore, turned, too. There come from all parts of the state ominous threatenings of a storm that is likely to break when the legislature meets. In j'st what shape this will come it is impossible now to say, bui the handwiiting is on the w a u. When it does come it is likely to be cyclonic In its nature and somebody is going to get hart. A PRETTY BRUNETTE FROM IRELAND Surprised l»y Hei Sister Showing Her an Ebony Black Babe. New York. July 1.—Miss Lizzie Cun ningham. a pretty brunette from Ire land, received the surprise of her life at the Barge office. Lizzie, with a couain, arrived on the City of Chicago, and the pair waited at the Barge office for the arrival of relatives. Inth< afternoon Lizzie’s sister turned up, and the greeting was very cordial until the latter polled the covering off a 2-months-old babe which she earned in her arms. The babe was ebony in its blackness, and Miss Cunningham faint ed at the spectacle. The mother of the infant tried to explain to Lizzie chat the child was well derived, atthes&me time beckoning to a sturdy colored man who stood in the background. The colored man approached to be introduced to hL sister-in-law, but Lizzie refused to no tice him. The colored man said her was not a Hi bernian, bat that his name was Mc- Graw. McGraw is a stone mason, and lives with bis Irish wife on Thirty- eighth street. DEADLY RETURNS A CHILD FALLS. From a Fourth Story Window Charleston, Mass.

Brunswick, Ga., July l.—Johnson Green, the negro murderer whom a mob attempted to kill, while in custody of officers, near Waynesville,'* Saturday, escaped from the guard and mob in a miraculous way. A bullet struck the horse of the guard and cansed him to run away. Another shot broke the pad lock that fastened the prisoner to the backboard and thus freed him. He ran through the woods ten miles pursued by the mob. Three of the shots fired at him took effect, hnt he did not fall un til he reached his father’s house in Camden county, where he is now under guard and being treated by Dr. Allen.

San Antonia, Tex. , July 1.—Returns from the celebration of St. Joan’s day— the Mexican Feast day—are coming in slowly. Up to date five ni9n have been killed in this section, and the latest is that of Augustin Hernandez, a fiery son of Old Mexico, who was celebrating with his friends on Atascosa creek, 80 miles from San Antonio.

C m July 1.—The trial of Judge Schenck and sons for the attack on Evangelist Fife, has ended. There was an immense crowd present, as the case was of unparalleled interest. Some of the ablest lawyers of the state were engaged on both sides, Judge Gil mer and Judge Dillard representing Mr. Fife. Mr. Fife stated that if he had made any remarks reflecting upon the charac ter of Mrs. Schenck it was a mistake, and he asked forgiveness. Mr. Fife of fered his hand to the judge, who said the apology was sufficient. Judge Schenck arose sobbing like a child, and stated that he had done wrong and he apologized for it. "I thank God,” he said, "that it is over." He and Mr. Fife shook hands and the trial was declared discontinued. Upon motion of Judge Gilmer, the crowd sang the long metre doxology, after which Mr. Fife offered prayer.
