-Yes, it is remarkable how quickly
lie schools of Georgia have responded

-Very well indeed. The larger num-

The truth of the matter is that the

IMPORTANT NOTICE.
The pronosition V. W. Skiff has.
made, giving the city of Athens a city
*r lower clock, if elected Mayor, Is
o( more importance than some seem to
Jliink. This is Mr. Skill’s proposition.
He agrees to make (if elected Mayor)
the city of Athens a gift of .a tower
ctakoi the best make, with (our trans
form dials, asking only that the city
provide a suitable place of their own
•election and construction to place It.
Every voter should well consider this
matter, as it is for you to decide wheth
er Athens shall be honored with a pub
lic clock giving the correct and Stan
ford time, that can he seen all hours of
bft tb night and day. It will cost only
your vote for V. W. Skiff tor Mayor.

Albany, Georgia
e °' Freshmen this year.
The city of Athens will be captured
by the Georgi-, Carolina & Northern
'railroad on the first day of October.
There will be an important change
in the management of the new road
after that time when the entire operat
ing department of the line will be mov-
ed to Athena for headquarters.
Thu means much for the Classic Ci
ty.
It has always been the purpose of the
Georgia, Carolina A Northern to estab
lish its central offices here. The secre
tary and treasurer’s office has been here
air the time, Mr. A L. Hull, filling that
* fflee.
Not many months ago General Hoke,
president of the road, moved his office
here, and was quickly followed by
Major Temple, chief engineer, with all
bis departmental associates.
On October the first there will be still
another change of the present operative
department. The offices of the Super
intendent, and of thp General Manager
will be moved here and established per
manently.
They will be put in the old Carlton
building where General Hoke and
Major Temple are located at present.
With ail the main offices of the line
here in Athens, it is but reasonable to
suppose that the new road will do Ath
ens more good than before.
The Georgi«, Carolina and Northern
is the most substantial, the most thor
ough and the most prosperous railroad
in the Southern states, considering that
it is so young a road.
Ii Macon yesterday Manager Lane,
of the Georgia, Southern ana Florida,
the toad that has recently been boycot
ted by the other roads because it low
ered its rates was inter
viewed with reference to the Boifeoil-
ler bill that soon is to pome up in the
legislature.
When General Manager Lane was
seen in regard to the matter he said be
did not care to be interviewed on the
subject, aa it was something that the
Georgia Southern was not troubling
abonr. Manager Lane stated, however,
that they went to Atlanta only in re
sponse to a call from the committee,
who wished to have a bill introduced
regulating these matters, and that they
simply gave their tesrimony, telling
wliat they knewj>t the Georgia South
ern boycott j<how it wasiirought about,
how it operated and what effect it would
have on the people and the road. Mr.
Lane added that be supposed the bill
was brought about by a desire of the
committee to protect the p« ople.
It seems that it is proposed to give
the railroad commission power to pre
vent boycotts of this kind in Georgia.
Of course they cannot regulate the mat
ter for roads outside the state, but if the
commission save the Central road shall
sell tickets over the Georgia S rnthern
to Valdosta, why the Central must.
It will entirely do away with the boy
cotting* business within the-state, no
matternow other roads are allowed to
act.
The bill will then protect the act fix
ing a maximum and minimum rate as
intended, instead of having it work as
these boycotts propose, making it im
possible for any road to operate on an
other than the maximum rate.
It is not kuown who will introduce
the bill, but the committee is determin
ed to hare such alaw. and the bill will
be introduced at this session of the,leg
islature.
Matters concerning the Macon and
Atlantic railroad are as much in the
dark as ever. From what can be gath
ered, however, it seems that somebody
has made up their mind that the Ma-
oon and Atlantic read owes them about
enough and something has got to be
done before track-laying is commenced.
In other words, as goes the talk among
those who watch matters, the men who
have the contract for building the road
will have to be satisfied before farther
work is undertaken.
It is understood that the road is at
present indebted to the firm of Strong
& McKee tor all the work done in
August and September, amounting to
not less than $35,000, and it is not be
lieved these men have much, more to
show for their money than the bare
promised to pay. It is, at least, cer
tain that their’s would be among the
last claims to be considered, while
prior claims; are already outstanding
against the road.
Athens boys who have entered the
railroad businest have done well - They
are known every where in the circles of
Southern railroads. The Macon Tele
graph prints thp following item abor
an Athens boy: Mr. Newton Lowranc
a very popular young gentleman, for

FROM A LUNATIC-
9
A QUEER EPISTLE WRITTEN TO A
YOUNG LADY.
MARRIAGE ON THE BRAIN.
A Conglomerate Mixture of Words
And Ideas Without Much Sense In
Either—A Letter From A Once
Educated And Happy Man,
The lunatic asylum at Milledereville
contains lunatics of alljdescriptions.
Some are raving and always want to
fight; some are harmless and never
disturb; some lilre to speak and others
to write; indeedlt is one vast assemb
ly of unbalanced minds . that don’t
know what they want to do.
A letter from a lunatic now in
the asylum to a young
lady is before the Banner reporter.
The writer of the letter was once an
educated and happy man, and bis let
ter; even though it is mixed up as to
words and ideas, still bean signs of in
telligence in past years.
The writer evidently had marriage on
the brain. His letter starts out thus:
Asylum, P. O. July 1890.
It is an ingenuous spirit that approach
es, happy to avow its esteem for quali
ties patent in your card; the irradlan
ces of the anreove gleamings that charm
and draw by wbat they reveal, but
more by wbat they fail to reveal, and
stance at which they bold one who
fain would be ’‘nearer my girl to thee,
nearer to thee.” D-.pi the
image of seme yclept chiv&lric
Quixote flit before the imagination
as the writer of this unique introduc
tion to a billet doux? If so I hasten to
correct (be vision," by remarking that
he who pleads to be recognized your
admirer is no Tuixotio toot en semble
chivalry. True, I am a man of war,
a mighty hunter, the archer with bow
and quiver. This archer with quiver
full la in arms against the fair, fair cu-
pids. Just now be has doffed the dis
guise of war and donned the pose of a
barrister preparing to plead a suit. He
is going to court the court, my lady’s
court.
Then he exhorts on the beauty of his
lady love and goes on to speak of him
self thus:
"I am no wit am a little witty
in the- pulpit, no more so than Dr
Talmadgv, but it takes a crowd to draw
the champagne, a crowd that came out
to see anil hear glacial pantomimes, the
tobogganing of iceberg zephyrs down
America’s high cheeks.”
Then he goes of on his pet.-scheme of
building a railroad across the Atlantic
and brings civil engineering into bis
epistle. He says:
If too bold a frontispiece at the in
ception of an affaire d’amonr, let it be
the “amende” that the idealism copied
is that of M D.-Lesseps. chief of tfie
“chief* of the people” to the sciences
of civil ergineering, diplomacy and
elegantjcoi j d ip ”
He then gives an exhaustive treatise
on woman’s superb love, as he views it,
mixing together all the classics and my
tbology, philosophy and history of the
ancients and moderns. Continuing he
says:
‘Thewriter is solicitous of one who is
witty, vivacious ambitious and it is ne
cessary that one of the parties may
have influence with the ‘powers,’ aud
i'is essential to wealth to have a semi
official connexus with the nation’s
Chief of Police.”
He then gives his qualifications for a
husband and winds np in eloquent
terms, thus:
“Mine the exalted concept of the
function of queensand kings and the et
iquette of throne rooms, that I can
kneel at the feet of the king or queen in
truest worship.”
After giving a minute description of
himaelf he concludes his epistle thus:
As your card is before the public,
there is no *
f ihoto before
f I have to
not a helpmate to meet halt way by the
encouragement of her photo? Be easi
ly persuaded—please inclose your pho
to in your reply. Mine is in Cupid’sof-
fice; please call for thermal ler size. No
date to this letter, because the rule of
the office. Be pleased to reply soon to,
Faithfully yourt,
Rkv. John E. Amos.
A curious letter indeed; the efferves
cing of an unbalanced mind that once
was strong and vigorous and eloquent.

BUT WAS REFERRED
New York, Sept, 23.—The failure of
8. V. White & Co. continues to be the
principal theme of talk in down town
drdes. One of the Wall street news
agencies sent the following: •
"White still declines to make public
any estimate of his liabilities. Other
members of his firm said nd statement
could be made until the result of ths
transactions during the day were mado
known,"
The same authority added i "The
amount of grain bonght by the clique
for September and October delivury
was very large." x
The actual arrivals of corn to New
York the past six weeks have been
heavy, and th^ supposed agents of the
clique engaged vessel room Monday for
600,000 baBhels; A part of the corn
shipped is understood to have gone
abroad, while a -large aditional amount
yw placed with a grain house here, and
WC are fold, margined down to very low
figures. Members of this hqus@ said
they ahoqld be glad t© take corn at
the price which it stood on their hooks.
The losses on-the corn deal are esti
mated all the way from $1,000,000 to
$2,000,000 and add another to the illus
trations already afforded of the great
danger there is in attempting to corner
any of the great food products. *
Some friends of S. V. White & Co.,'
are confident that firm will be able to
resume business in tbe,near future.
This belief wns based on the minor .that
three or ;onr prominent capitalists and
operators bad conditionally agreed to
advance funds sufficient to help over
the firm’s difficulties.

MUSTPAY UP
Or Out of the Union Depot All Will Go.
Atlanta, Ga.* Sept. 23.—[Special.]—
Col. J. W. Thomas, of> the Nashville,
Chattanooga & St Louis railroad, has
taken decisive steps to make the other
railroads entering toe Union depot pay
up or stay oat.
Col. Thomas came to Atlanta yester
day to see Assistant Attorney General
Little for the purpose of directing him
to enforce a resolution, which was
passed in the legislature, authorizing
the authorities to give Col. Thomas’
road immediate possession of the depot
property.
The assistant attorney general was
not in the city and Colonel Thomas did
not see him, but he will return to At
lanta to a few-days to push the matter.
It seems that Colonel Thomas’s rail
road is going to have the union depot.
It is said that Colonel Thomas’s at
torneys advised him to go to New York
for another consultation, but he pre
ferred to come to Atlanta to take imme
diate 'egal steps.
It seems that tor. some reason he has
fallen out, so to speak, with the Termi
nal people, and will insist upon all the
lights which bis road owns as the lessee
<ii the state road to the Union passenger
depot property.
It is not well understood by the pub
lic generally what an exclusive claim
the Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis railroad company have on this
property. The property belongs to the
state and the road uqder Colonel Thom
as’s management has a lease for thirty
years, therefore for thirty y-ara th-
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis,
railroad represent the absolute owners
of the property.

The Jury bill Falls of Passage-
Changing the Session of the
Leglsiateer.
At iant a Ga., September 23—[Spl.]—
Just after the reading of the journal
Mr. Martin, of .Fulton, introduced the
following resolution, which was
adopted by a unanimous yote:
Resolved, That the use of the hall of
the house of representatives be allowed
the Virginia society of Atlanta on Jan
uary K>, 1892, tor the purpose of cele
brating the birthday of Gen. B. E. Lee.
Mir. Barrett, of Pike, introduced a
set of resolutions, as adopted by the
State Alliance convention, requesting
the legislature to endorse them.
Dr. Baldwin, of Randolph, moved
that they be acted upon at once.
Mr. Atkinson, of Coweta, moved that
they be committed to the committee on
the state of the republic.
The ayes and nays were called tor and
were: ayes, 81; nays, 63.
The resolutions were committed, and
it is believed that they will be killed in
the committee.
The bill by Mr. Williams, of Rich
mond, to amend art. 6, sec. 18, par. 1 of
the constitution, was taken up by spec
ial order. The paragraph as amended
reads as follows: ~ -
“The right of trial by jury, except
where it is otherwise provided in this
constitution, shall remain inviolate,
but the general assembly may prescribe
any number not less than five to consti
tute a trial or traverse jury in coarts
other than the superior and city courts,
except also in all civil causes in the su
perior and city courts of this state three-
fourths or more of the jurors in said
causes may render a verdict-
* After an able argument by Mr. Will
iams to favor of the bill, the vote was
then taken ad nresulted in 103 ayes to
30 nays.
The bill not having received the re
quisite two-thirdsJfote, was lost; but
Mr. Williams will move fora reconsid
eration to-morrow, and hopes to secure
its passage.
The bill by Mr. Ware, of Fayette, to
authorize and empower the governor to
cause to be paid to the widow o.r de
pendent children of deceased Confed
erate soldiers the pensions due to said
soldiers respectively at the time of
their death was passed.
The Judiciary committee yesterday
afternoon agreed to report favorably on
the bills introduced by Mr. Underwood
to change the constitution of the state
relative to the sessions of the legisla
ture. The first bill to change from bi
annual to annual sessions, was agreed
to, and the second bill to limit the
session to fl'ty days was also agreed to.
Now if the house by a two-thirds vote
passes the bill, and the sena(f does like
wise, the amendment to the Constitu
tion will.be submitted to the people at
the next general election, and if they
think the change a good one, hereafter
we will have an annual session of the
legislature limited to a fifty days' sess
ion.
The bill introduced by Mr. Martin, of
Fulton, making the first Monday in
September a holiday and naming it
Labor Day,” was reported favorably
and no doubt will soon become a law.
Mr. Martin is working hard for its suc

THR BANNER JOB PRINTERS.
No matter how good material a shop may have, without skilled mechanics
the best results cannot be obtained. It is even so in a printing office. We have
the most artistic and skillful printers to be obtained. We refer you to samples ol
our 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. v '
eiOUR 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 Tux
Banner Job room there are five of the finest presses made—Adam’s latent Book
Press, The Cottrell & Babcock Cylinder Press, two of the latest improved Gordon
Presses and Golden’s Peari.

ingly low, H you wish the very best results, don’t wait ’till your stationery
gives out, but send your work in^now, so that wo may have time to make it a
truly artistic job.
