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.

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.

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?

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. —■ v- • ■ HARMONY GROVE, What our Active Correspondent Finds to Write About.

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.
