ATHENS BANNER TUESDAY MORNING,

ROAD.
In his speeeh at Antioch Camp
Ground in Hall county a few days
ago, Hr. Patrick Calhoun, in speak
ing of “reshaping’’ the railroad sys
tems of this section so as to pnt Sa
vannah and other Southern cities
into vigorous competition for a part
of the commerce of this continent,
among other things said to those
Hall county farmers:
“If yon lived in Philadelphia or
Hew York woold you not like to see
the commerce of the country perma
nently tied to them? Would you
like to see a part of thecommeroe for
the Missouri river country go through
Savannah?’
These queries convey a truth which
is obvious. He was talking sense
to the Hall county farmers. If they
lived in New York they would be for
New York and against Savannah or
any other place. It is human nature.
They would be either more, or less
than human if they were not so.
It is generally known that the
lease of the Central Railroad to the
Georgia Pacific puts the Central un
der the control of the Richmond <k
Danville, which is owned by the
Terminal Company. The Terminal
owns a majority of the stock in all
three, so that the lease of the Central
is at last the Terminal’s own doing.
The present Board of Directors of
the Terminal Company, as given by
Poor’s Manual, is composed of the
following gentlemen:
H B Plant, Samuel Thomas, J
Gould, John G Moore, George J
Gould, Abram S Hewitt, John H
Hall, |R T Wilson, Sidney Dillon,
John A Rutherford, John C Calhoun,
Simon Wonnser, Jas Swann, all of
New York, Patrick Calhoun, Atlanta,
Ga., J C Maben, New York, Calvin
D Price, Lima, Ohio, T M Logan,
Richmond, Va.
Of these seventeen directors fonr
teen live in New York. One is put
down to Lima, Ohio, and one to
Richmond, Va. Applying the rule
laid down by Mr. Calhoun when he
was talking to the Hall county far
mers, common sense tells us that
this board will be found wording for
New York every time. Is it reason'
able to suppose that these fourteen
gentlemen living in New York will
deliberately do a thing wbioh injures
New York ? Does any one suppose
that they will countenance for a mo
ment any contract whioh takes busi
ness away from New York and gives
it to any other city ? They are New
Yorkers and they are for New York
first. Depend upon it they think
they see how this lease will help New
York, and Mr. J. Gould and Mr.
Dillon think they see how it will help
their Western lines. When these
two think they see a thing they gen*
erally manage to make others see it
sooner or later.
There are some who thinks that
the lease of the Central was dictated
by Gonld, Dillon and Thomas in ora
to check the growth of business oi
Savannah and torn it back to New
York over the old rules. During
the year preceding this lease the
commerce of Savannah had in
creased largely. Messrs.
Dillon and Thomas, came down
through Georgia and took a quiet
peep at the situation; it is believeu
by many that they went back to
New York and directed the Central
to be pnt under the control of the
Richmond and Danville. Hence the
Point, Va. If Mr. Gould was really
trying to strengthen the Central and
build up Savaunah he would give
the Central control ot the others.
As it is he has bound the Central
hand and foot and turned her over
to the Richmond & Danville. The
Central is worse off. and so is Sa
vannah than before the lease. Then
they could take care of themselves
and coaid compete for business,
now they will get so much and no
more, as the Richmond & Danville
sees fit to give them. The Terminal
Company owns practically all the
stock in the R. & D. and gets about
all it makes. It only owns a little
over half the stock in the Central
and gets only its proportionate pari
of the rental.
It will be difficult for Mo. Gonld
and Mr. Dillon even with the aid of
the powerful influence of Mr.
L F Livingston, to persuade the peo*
pie of Georgia that this lease was in
tended to take business away from
New York and give it to Georgia
cities. Mr. Livingston seems to be
standing square up to Mr. Gonld in
his scheme and Mr. Livingston has
great influence in Georgia. The
farmers believe everything he tells
them. Bat there will be genuine
surprise if he succeeds in making
them believe that Mr. Gould is really
working against his own interest and
Hying to bnild up Southern cities
and roads at the expense of his own
city of New York and his Western
roads.
If they were trying to divert bus
iness from New York to Savannah
over the Central why did they lease
the Central to the Georgia Pacific
which was already leased to the
Richmond and Danville. Why did
not they lease the Richmond and
Danville to the Central? In other
words if they were really aiming to
turn the commerce over the Central
to Savannah why did they put it
oat of the power of the Central to
control it, and why did they put the
control of the Central and its busi
ness into the hands of the Richmond
and Danville a road which is directly
interested in diverting freight from
Savannah. The Richmond and Dan
ville will make money by hauling
freight to West Point, Va., and by
diverting it from Savannah. This
lease gives it the power to suck the
Central dry and feed itself fat. Th
OUR EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
In cautious language this can be
put down as true, that the gravest
question before the people of the
South to-day is the education of the
two races—how it most be brought
about, where it must begin and
where it ought to end.
The problem is complex.
There is cause for alarm to dis
cerning men st the situation in Geor
gia to-day. The condition of our
educational interests demands an
investigation. There are evils in it
that most be checked, and they must
be checked at once to warrant the
safety ot the State.
Under the impulse of the great
feeling for higher education schools
are multiplying in untold numbers
throughout Georgia. But, as ap
palling as it may seem, the negro
schools are increasing far more rap
idly than the whites’. Worse, these
negro schools are more largely at
tended than the whites’. And there
is room for grave doubt if they are
not in many instances presided over
by teachers whose knowledge of the
sciences and the classics cannot cope
with the white teachers, for many of
these negro educators are college
graduates, and there is no denying
the troth that they h^ve been well
edneated.
This is no pleasant view to take
of the case, and the first instinctive
impulse of the cultured and refined,
the patriotic and loyal Southerner is
Gould, 10 ^ rown u P° n Gw idea as unreason
ble, frightfully overdrawn, untrue
But, mark you, what are the tacts ?
The 'matter demands patience and
concern.
There is a negro University in At
lanta. There is another negro Uni-
Varsity soon to be re-established in
Savannah, with thorough equipments
and competent instructors. The lat
ter is the Statefe institution and will
be supported by State and govern
ment funds. The negro students
who study at these institutions four
or five years must be fairly well ed
ucated. Indeed the board of visit
ors once reported that the examina-
tion papers of the Atlanta negro col
lege were almost as thorough as
those of graduates from many white
colleges. Where do these negro
graduates go ? They go almost to a
man into the profession of teaching,
for this is the only profession open
open to them save the pulpit Hence
it is that the negro schools are mul..
t plying. To these schools in the
rural districts, all supplied by the
State’s money, thousands of negro
children are flocking from the fields
of cotton and corn, where they have
done acceptable service as did thei
hoe and plow standing upright in
the field, which mast be taken up
by the white children, sons and
daughters of the farmers. Thus the
white boys and girls are kept ont ol
the school house.
This is not all. The worst iB yel
to be told.
When the white children manage
to drag through the schools as best
they can, going two or three months
in the year, and when some of them
go out to a University—as a few of
them do—do they go back to organ
ize a school to teach the sons and
daughters of their neighbors? Alas!
they do not for the most part.
When a poor boy goes to college
end spends the money necessary for
a University education he cannot af
ford to teach school for the pay that
ie in it. If the white schools were
as largely attended as the negro
schools, he coaid do it, bat they are
not for the reason already named.
There are dozens more professions
open to him that offer better pay and
naturally enough he drifts into them.
And this is the cause for alarm.
How urgent in the light of these
appalling truths is it that the Nor
mal School' department of the State
University shonld be established !
How demanding it ie that the Unic
versity should be enlarged and ele
vated so that hundreds more of the
youth of our land conld come within
easy grasp ot better knowledge and
higher education ! How gravely im
portant that the white youths of
Georgia should be given a University
education as pare and free as the
water that we drink, so that even
the poorest could become a school
teacher !
Awake, Georgians, and enlarge
your University. Give it money,
build it up, put it in the reach ol
your sons, give it wider scope! The
plea ie for the poor of Georgia more
than for the rich. The rich send
their sons to Yale or Harvard. The
day is at hand when the school sys
tem of Georgia must be improved
A great University will solve the
problem safely.
THE FIRST TRAIN
ROLLS OVER THE GEORGIA CARO

IT WASN’T LOADED
TO PRODUCE DEATH.
A REGULAR SCHEDULE.
A SMALL NEGRO BOY.

tember 1st.—The Work on the Ma

for Athens.
Accepting Col. Livingston’s state
ment that he Isn’t afraid of the devil,
the Nashville American inconsiderately
attempts to account for the phenomen
on by intimating that there is no occa
sion for fear, as the most agreeable re
lations exist between the two gentle
men. The American shonld not forget
to give every one his due—Macon
Telegraph.
It would seem that such a sensible
paper as the Macon Telegraph would
have seen before now that such little
slurs as this upon CoL Livingston do
not pay fifty cents on the dollar.
If Mb. Ckisp will leave Georgia and
come to Missouri permanently we will
go bail that he shall become a first class
tariff reformer, who will work for re
form in off years as bard as in the years
when a speaker is to be chosen. Even
a week in Missouri has brought him out
immensely. All be needs is about five
years of this kind of progress to get in
the line of promotion to Democratic
leadership.—St. Louis Republic.
Never mind, Editob Jones, about
Mb. Cbisp. He’s all right.
An exchange rises to remark:
If the Republicans now in tbe Federal
oflices can’t get along without “civil
pensions,^ there are plenty of Demo
crats who can. The best possible thing
to do with a Republican office-holder,
at any rate, is to rotate him out and
let him try how it feels to earn a living
without eating taxes.
V Across t be big bridge ’ the first train
rolled yesterday atiernooii about sun
down.
It was tbe constructipn train and it
carried upon it a few people who hap
pened to be down thereat the time.
It was a pretty sight to those who
witne sed it ; the engine*’ and cars so
high in air and making the first trip
across,the uuiumotb bridge.
Alter it had crossed, iti remained on
this side a short while and then was
carried back across the r.ver.
Next Thursday a passenger
train will come ovf.r bringing
with it the superintendent's private
car for Mr. A. L. Hull and family.
They will Kaye on that day for New
York over the new road; and will be
away from Athens until the middle of
September.
The road bed of th.-< Georgia Carol!
na and Northern according to the un
animous verdict of all those who have
beeu over the lit'w line is thorough in
every particular. Expert engineers
say it is without doubt the most
substantia! work to be found on any
southern railroad.
Ail pi the masonry on the road is af
ter the very best order of work.
Athens can uot too ii^uch appreciate
the great advantages of this new
Airline of the Eastern-markets. It is
tbe very shortest connection that conld
possibly be made, and the further fact
ihat the system is to be operated with
superior equipments will make it all the
more attractive as a freight and pas
senger trunkline.
One thing is certain, Athens is going,
right on with railroad development.
The Macon and Northern, formerly
known as tbe Covington and Macon
has been put in excellent condition
lately, and long trains pass through
Athens every day hearing great loads of
steel rails tor the Northeastern.
Heavy steel rails and substantial new
cross-ties will be placed all along toe
Northeastern from Athens to Lula, and
the Macon and Northern, ruuing from
Lula to Macon will Boon be a splendid
line of railway.
There has bean much talk about
establishing a connecting line of rail
way with all warehouses in Athens so
as to seoure more rapid transportation
of cotton to the depots. The idea is a
good one. It is proposed to build side
t* acks to the warehouses from tbe street
railway and run the cars by dummy or
electric power.
It is probable that such steps may be
taken later in the fall.

Didn’t Uve Long. -
A BIG BARBECUE
Another case of “it wasn’t loaded,’’
But subsequent events proved that it
had enough powder and lead in it to
produce death.
And now the corpse of a little eleven
year old darkey is enough to make
children and even grown people care
ful of how they handle a pistol.
Sunday afternoon George Tate, a ne
gro boy of eleven years of age, was over
at Mat Davis’ house and had a pistol
that he said belonged to him.
He said it wasn’t loaded, and nobody
paid any attention to him and bis pis
tol.
Suddenly a loud report was heard and
the boy reeled and fell to the ground.
Persona near by ran at once to his
side and found that he had shot him
self with his pistol, and that the life
blood was flowing in a steady stream
from a ghastly wound through the bow
els.
He waa pioked up and carried into
tbe bouse and medical aid was sum
moned.
The wound was examined thoroughly
and pronounced to be a fatal one.
The boy lingered in agony until yes
terday afternoon when he died.
Some of these days people will learn
how to quit fooling with pistols, and
especially will little boys learn this.
They never are loaded, but they
generally manage to kill.

Charley Good, a negro man in the
employ of the bridge contractors at tbe
G. C. A. N. road, happened to a bad
accident yesterday afternoon.
He was at work on the bridge across
the Northeastern road just below the
Northeastern depot, and in the act of
throwing off a plank to the ground
below.
The plank was too heavy for him, and
as it (went it pushed him from his
position on the pier.
He fell straight downward a distance
of fifteen or twenty feet, and struck
some lumber with terrible force.
His thigh waa badly broken by the
fall and the bones were shivered.
Dr. Benediot rendered all the neces

member.
The injuries were not of a serious na
