GEORGIA PEOPLE.
CONVENTIONS IN ATHENS.
Athens is getting to be quite a fa
vorite point for conventions of dif
ferent distinguished bodies.
This summer there will be three
big meetings in Athens, to which
will come representative citizens
from all over the State.
The first of these gatherings will
be the Alliance rally on the 16th
intit. It will be one of the greatest
events known to the history of
Athens.
The next will be the meeting of
the Grand Lodge of the Independent
Order of Good Templars. It meets
in two or three days session week af
ter next.
Then comes the State Agricultural
Society in August. This distin
guished body will be welcomed with
a royal ovation on the part of our
citizens.’
Athens now has a splendid chance
to show her entertaining hospitality
and in this as in all other matters
she will not be lacking.
THE EXHAUSTED TREASURY.
The New York World in speaking
of the depleted U. S. treasury says:
Mr. Fosterhas decided to extend
the 4+ per cent, bonds. Ho cannot
pay them without defaulting on car-
rent demands against the Govern
ment.
Ten years ago, when Mr. Windom
funded tbe accrueing debt, there
was plenty of money in the Tress-*
ury, and it was admitted by all who
were then familiar with the condition
of the Treasury that the Government
could easily pay the 4£ and 4 per
cent, bonds, due in 1891 and 1901
from the staking fund—-the first from
the fond of the year in which they fell
due and a small part of the sinking
fond of the pievions year, while the
4s would be wiped out by the snbse*
- quent annual contributions to the
fund.
But Mr. Foster ‘can make no con*,
tribution to the sinking fund this
year oi next year. The Billion-Dols
j lar congress has made that impossi
ble. He must, therefore, extend the
bonds instead of paying them. For
many years the Treaeury has been
more than complying with the Sink
ing Fund law. Now it has not a
dollar for it. And the democratic
I party has a stupendous task, well-
nigh impossible, so to redace ex
; penses that the Treasury can meet
: the 4 per cents when they fall doe in
1907.

Work.
It appears that, despite the fact
.of their residence in a locality of
supposed enlightenireat, the colored
people of Philadelphia show all the
gross ignorance and cxedality of
their Southern congeners. A reign
( of terror exists among tbe colored
population of West Philadelphia,who
believe that the Medical College of
the University of Pennsylvania has
a paid gang of powerful men. whose
business it is to lurk about the
1 streets at night, with hoods and
■ chloroform, and capture negroes for
subjects to be dissected by the stu
dents. It is almost impossible to
^.flnd a colored man or woman willing
to pass within a block of the Medical
i College after dark, and a coachman
| of one of the professors was so terri-
| fled at the idea that he became a
j raving maniac oil the subject, and
( died in the State Insane Asylum.
[ The mania has been aggravated by
thoughtless students,who have played
upon the fears of tbe colored people.
APPRECIATED COMPLIMENTS.
Editor Crawford’s Paper Before the
Southern Educational Society.
Mr, T. Re in sen Crawford, editor in
chief of tbe Athens Banner, was regis
tered at the Kimball yesterday.
He was on his way to Chattanooga,
and left for that city last nigbt, where
he will read a paper before the South
ern Educational Society, which holds
its annual convention on Lookout on
the 8th and 9th. The Natioual Educa
tional Society, of which this is a branch,
holds its convention in Toronto, Cana
da, shortly afterward.
Editor Crawford has made quite a
reputation as a writer, aud now stands
among tbe first of Georgia’s journalists.
He was formerly a member of the Con
stitution stall', where his excellent ser
vice made for him a state reputation;
and since assumiog editorial control of
The Banner, he has made it a newspa
per in tbe true sense of the word.
HIb paper, which is written upon
•‘Southern Literature and What the
Schools Have Not Had to Do with It,”
is calculated to interest those before
whom it is to be read. The subject is a
live one, having attracted much atten
tion from the press of late, and is of the
greatest interest to every sontherner.
That it will be ably written goes with
out saying, as that is in keeping with
Mr. Crawford’s past reputation.—Con
stitution.
The Dispensary Bill, as prepared by
the committee of .prohibitionists,
Messrs. A. J. Cobb, G. C. Thomas, and
H. C. Tuck, and as published in yester
day’s Banner, was all tbe talk on tbe
streets yesterday.
Tbe prohibitionists bad made it a
part of their platform and pledged tbeir
efforts to secure its passage in tbe pres
ent General Assembly.
They had appointed a committee to
draft the bill, and that committee has
submitted the bill to the scrutiny of the
public.
Tbe bill was discussed yesterday from
all standpoints imaginable.
The vast majority of the People are of
the opiuidh that it will go a long way
towards solving the liquor question in
our midst. Their opinion is. that if
three highly respected and responsible
citizens can be indue -d to take tbe
offices of Cormni3.-ioner8 and if a
thoroughly competent man can be
selected as dispensary manager, the bill
will have a saintary effect on the state
of affairs as regards the liquor traffio. -
. Others were met, who have made up
tbeir minds that the dispensary is de
stined to be a gigantic failure. They
say that it will not break up blind
tigers and that it will
be nothing more than a big bar room.
Another class of citizens are firm in
their convictions that the legislature
will not pnss the bill, and that Athens
will never have a dispensary.
The prohibitionists in whose hands
the bill now is. are sanguine of the pas
sage of the bill. They will do their
best to pas- it aud have no doubt but
that it will be passed.
Some few of the p roll is Bwailow tbe
bill with wry faces, but they will stand
firmly by the piaiform of their party.
Tbe best opinion seems to be that the
bill will be passed and that the Dispen
sary will be open aud iu operation by
September 1st. Ail are agreed upon
giving it a fair and impartial trial to
see whether or notit will satisfactory
solve the liquor question.
GRAND LODGE I. O. G. T.
A ghost won a case for a litigant
in Jndge TuthillV. court, Chicago,
last week. A landlord of that city
sued the owner of neighboring prop*
ertv for damages to tbe amount of. . ,
#5,000, claiming that the defendant, Clarke Rifies the best company in the
' a du ty alley, which was such a State.

The Clarke Rifles Return From the
Tented Field
The Clarke Rifles are back from their
stay at Chickamauga.
And the members bring back with
them tbe memories of a most pleasant
trip.
. The Company arrived yesterday

At Chickamauga, the Rifles were the
general favorites, and Capt. Owen aud
his gallant boys, made a good impres

IRISH POTATOES.
Some Good Pointers a9 to Their Cut
tlvatlon.
Line upon line and precept upon pre
cept have been written in regard to the
southern people buying articles of food
that they themselves cao easily raise,
bat they still pursue the old beaten
path, that is, to bave their corn cribs
and smoke houses iu the West.
My attention has been especially at
tracted to tbe article at the bead of
this communication. Irish potatoes,
which are now selling in tbe Athens
market at $2 00 per bushel, or more,
whv will people bay them at suoh an
extravagant price? There is nothing
that can be more easily produced.
They require comparatively very little
labor and yield to tbe acre, if propei ly
planted and cultivated, more than any
other article of food in tbe world. It is
not extravagant to say, that one acre
will yield 300 bushels. It has been
done, and can again be done. The wri
ter has done it. Does'not this beat
cotton, even at 20 cents a bushel. But
some objector will say, if everybody
raised them, the markets would be
glutted and there would be no demand
for them. But stop my friend! think a
moment. How much could you aud
your family at home, consume? a large
portion surely, for any person is fond
of them, and no article of food is more
palatable or healthy, well then, could
you not sell tbe remainder for 50 cents
a bushel, I think so, this would beat
cetton a long way too.
Another would doubtless say, “I can
not keep them, . they will rot.” But
they will not rot if you observe the fol
lowing. Do not dig them until they
have matured, that is, when tbe vines
are entirely dead, then select ihe largest
having no spot or blemish; put these
away in a dark, cool, dry place; in a
cellar, if you have one, scatter them
about as much as possible. When win?
ter comeson, put them In boxes or bar
rels and protect them from excessive
cold and in thp following soring, you
will be saved the expense of buying
potato seed, they are as good too, as
those you buy.
People also comnlain that onions will
rot here iu the South. Not one in a
hundred will do so, if they be not
f athered until the tops are entirely
ead. Let people put this advice in their
pipes and smoke it.
Don’t forget it, it will cure you of ex
travagance and ruin. Y.

i IHM EM
ATLANTA, Ga., July 8.—[Special]
About half past nine o’clock this
morning the legislative halls were
thronged with members who had re
turned to the scene of action. .
All are engaged in greeting oue an
other, and general discussion upon all
subjects. When ten o’clock came the
rap of the gavel, and tbe call of Speak
er Howell for order restored quiet once
more in tbe house. After prayer by
the Chaplain, Rev. R. H. Rhodes,
Speaker Howell spoke as follows:
Fellow members:
“Iu welcoming you back to the capi-
tol the speaker hopes that tbe associa
tion between the meintiers, and that the
intercourse between tbe speaker and
the Home will be as pleasant now as
during the winter session. This has
been a business House in tbe past and
will be a business ilonse during this
session Tbe speaker is at tbe service
ol the Rouse, and anything that can be
done to serve tbe members or expedite
its business will be done.”
After then the roll was called and tbe
journal of tbeir last meeting Was read
and approved. Most of the members
were in tbeir seats, and all are in tbe
city with the exception of Representa
tive Coffee, of Towns, who is quite ill at
his home.
Two new members were- then sworn
in Mr. Wm.J ennings, who was too un
able to be present during the winter
session, and Mr. W. J. Harris who has
been elected to fill the place left va
cant by tbe death of Mr. Griffia, of
Twiggs.
A resolution was introduced by Mr
Calvin, of Richmond, that the House
meet at 9 a. in. and adjourn at 1 p. m
was adopted.
Mr. Fleming, of Richmond, then in
troduced a resolution in regard to this
Encampment of the state troops, that
in view of tbe fset that the funds bad
been exhausted aud that all camp ar
rangements had been made, and of
other circumstances which should lie
considered, the Governor be authoriz
ed to continue thu camp through an
other week commencing July 13th and
to draw upon next, year’s appropriation
for funds to defray the necessary expen
ses.
After the resolution had been read
Mr. Fleming asked for its immediate
consideration. Mr. Hill, of Cherokee
moved to table the resolution indefi
nitely. Mr. Fleming’s request being
first in order, and there being no objeo
tion, the resolution was before the house
for discussion. After some discussion
the following amendment to tbe resolu
tion was adopted:
Resolved, That uo additional appro
priation s *all he made next year to
supply thc> d-Iicmncy.
There was some upposiilon to the res
olution as it stood, and Mr. Twitty, of
Jaekson, moved that it be tabled. The
ayes and nays were called for and the
motion was last., Tbe ayes and nays
were then called on the passage of the
resolution. It passed the bouse by
vote of 91 to G3, and at the request of
Mr. Fleming was transmit!*d imtuedi
ately to the.Sunate. President Mitchell
of the senate annouuced when it came
up before that body that it would re
quire a constitutional majority ot 23
votes to pass lucre. The vote stood 18
to 21, and the resolution was lost; but
motion will be made tomorrow to re
consider it. It will probably p iss tbe
senate, as the ruling ol a constitutional
majority in the case of a resolution has
not always been strictly adhered to.
After the appointment ot a committee
to notify the Governor of tbe meeting
of the general assembly, the introduc
tion of new matter was next iu order.
Mr. Hartridge, of- Chatham, intro
duced a resolution that a committee of
ten be appointed to report upon the
military appropriation and tbe cause of
the deficiency. Tabled.
The first bill was introduced by Mr.
Berner, of Monroe, and waBa bill
levy a special lot upon Banks, Railroads
and all corporations, businessj^etc.
was read for the first time.
The Governor’s annual message came
in at this juncture, and upou motion
was read before the House by the clerk
He returned a resolution of December
6th and House bid No. 120 unapproved
for reasons which seemed sufficient un
to himself. The message discussed all the
matters of importance in the state, and
which was to come before the Legisla
ture at this session. Ol special iinpor
tance were the parts relating to the Uni
versity, and the establishment of a Nor
mal School in Athens, and also the part
in regard to pensioning the widows of
Confederate Veierans, 3500 of whom
have made applications which have been
accepted, whereas the expectation of the
General Assembly was that tLose
would be about 600.
Mr. Calvin, of Richmond, moved that
s > much ot the Governor’s message
refers to direct tax be referred to the
com-jittee or lluance. Adopted.
A few other matters of minor impo
tance were brought up, and at one
o’clock the House adjourned to meet
to-morrow at ten.
In the senate introduced a bill to
amend the constitution, so as to give
the Governor authority to levy an in
come tax. Referred to finance commit
tee.
A resolution was introduced by Sena
tor Geo. Warren to investigate the ex
tortionate freight charges of the rail
roads. This was referred to the com
mittee on railroads.
Senator Joe Temple introduced a bill
to increase tbe liability of stoekholch is
of corporations incorporated bv the su
perior court, so that in addition to their
liability they shall be liable in amount
equal to the par value of l.heir stock.
This is practically the same rule as is
applied to banks Adjourned.

AN OLD MAN
Born In 1800 Get* in Love with a Toons
Girl and Goes Crazy.
Detroit, July 8.—Adam Stuart was
born in 1800. He has amassed property
worth $30,000. Four years ago his wife
died. Last spring he saw Miss Emily
Kan ter, 22 years old, a pretty brunette,
and was at once struck by her charms.
He secured an introduction, and since
then has pestered her sadly. He pro
posed to her early in June, but she
spurned his offer. The old man offered
to deed her all his property, and told her
he could not live long. She refused this
offer also. St dart went home and tried
to hang himself. He was cut down,but
tried again. A council of doctors de
cided him helplessly insane, and he was
sent to the asylum.
A Surprise Over a Decision.
Washington, July 8.—The decision
of Jndge Ross’s court dismissing the
libel against the schooner Robert and
Minnie, which vessel supplied arms to
the Itata, was a great surprise to the
officials in Washington. It was gener
ally believed that the case agirinst her
was much stronger than that which
conld be made out against the Itata,
and, notwithstanding the reservation
made by Jndge Ross to his decision, it
13 felt that his action will cause a fail
ure of the original libel lodged against
the Chilian vessel, although she may
still be held on some charge connected
with her escape while under legal de
tention. This o' itcome would bo a se
vere disappointment to the state and
navy department officials after an ex
penditure, direct or indirect, in chase of
the Itata that is estimated to run up'

crowd of excited men distinguished
themselves here by arresting a stranger,
whom they mistook for Gideon W.
Marsh, tho fugitive Philadelphia banker;
The stranger had just appeared here
and somebody compared him with a
newspaper cut of Marsh. He called at
the home of Justice Adams, begged a
supper, aud got permission to sleep iu
tbe barn. After he was comfortably
settled a warrant was sworn out. A
posse gathered and the barn was sur
rounded. The stranger was awakened
and surrendered. He was taken before
Justice Adams, who had before him a
newspaper description of Marsh. He
looked over the trembling stranger, con
cluded he was not Marsh, and after
searching him turned him loose..

Why You Should Patronize the Banner Job Office.
When one has work of an artistic nature to be executed, he naturally car
ries it to the very best, artist convenient. Of course, an expert workman and
skilled mechanic lias the latest and best machine .'enable him to accomplish
tho most, satisfactory results. No one wishes to pv.. .<> a workman who doe*
not keep abreast with, the improvements Of the day, for 11 .an impossibility for
him to turn out a novel and artistic job. In printing, styles are constantly chang
ing— Typo faces that were popular last year, are now rarely used. Better effects
aiv seen by the most casual observer.
OUR TYPE PACES ME ALE NEW
In The Banner Job Office there is to be found tire largest selection of new
and artistic type iu Northeast Georgia. If you have a Poster as large as a newspa
per to print, and want it executed in an attractive style—in a style that will “catch
tL ; eye”—The Banner office iB the place to have it printed. If you have an in-
vi“:tion card that you wish to appear as if it were lithographed, send it to us. Is
fat, we qave the best selection oi type for any kind of work that is printed.
THE BANNER JOS PRINTERS.
No matter how good material a shop may have, without skilled mechanics
tlv> best results cannot be obtained. It is even so in a printing office. We hare
the most artistic and skillful printers to be obtained. We refer you to samples of
ovr work for proof of this assertion. After all, one’s work is the best way by
which to judge his ability. We have no “cubs” to “butcher” work.
•^OUR PRESSES.’^
Without good presses, it is impossible to turn out first-class work. Many
jobs, which are otherwise artistic, are spoiled by poor press work. In Thk
Banner Job room there are five of the fiucst presses made—Adam’s Patent Hook
Press, The Cottrell & Babcock Cylinder Press, two of the latest improved Gordon
Presses and Golden’s Pearl.
WE PRINT ANYTHING
That can be printed. Our Stationery is the very best, ami our prices are surpris
ingly low. H you wish the very best results, don’t wait ’till your stationery
gives out, but send your work iu now, so that we may have time to make it *
