CO SLOWLY, GENTLEMEN.
It is patting the case very mildly
to advise the Georgia legislature to
go slowly about passing any such
law as Mr. Diamuke of Griffin seeks
to put upon the educational interests
of Georgia.
The facts in this case are too fa-
miliar to be discussed here and now.
Suffice it to say that the whole mat*
ter in a nut shell is, that Mr. Dis*
mube is seeking to do his city, Grif*
fin, a great servioe, by securing for
his people the State Agricultural
College. Nobody will deny Mr. Dis-
muke praise lor his disposition to
do good unto his city. But, that is
not the question.
Here is a matter that puts upon
stake the educational interest of
Georgia. To move the Agricultural
College from Athens and isolate it in
Griffin, at once brings up th§ ques
tion, how will the educational devel
opment in Georgia be advanced *or
benefitted ?
Our friends who seek to take the
College away from Athens have not
ventured to answer the question yet,
and until some better reason is given
than the mere fact that Griffin makes
a handsome offer for the college, the
people of Georgia will continue to
hold their representatives up to the
strict command, “go slow, gentle
men.”
The Agricultural College of Geor
gia has prospered here in Athens
ever since it. was established. It has
doubly advantageous opportunities
by reason of its connection with the
State’s University. The two go hand
in hand, and heart to heart, with the
common aim and a unity of ambition
to elevate the standard of education
in Georgia. In union there is strength,
and a graduate of the S<ate Agricul
tural College to-day has more than
double the store of valuable know]
Jge than those who might gradu-
from this institution separate
from the State University and plant
ed as high school down in Griffin
The point is clear. If the graduate
of the State Agricultural College is
supposed to become a practical far
mer he must also be a useful citizen,
and his knowledge must not be con
fined to the dropping of peas«in pro
per season ; the most advantageous
period to sow oats ; the surest cure
for rust in wheat or colic in horses ;
nor yet the chemistry of plant life
He must be taught general branches
of literature, political economy,moral
philosophy, something about the
classics. He must be>au "all ’round”
in. The duties of citizenship re-
fore, the Agricultural Col
the great work it has been
doing for Georgia all this time, has
been very materially assisted by the
advantages of its connection with
the State University.
It will take some strenuous efforts
on the part of Mr. Diamuke and his
friends to convince the people of
Georgia that the separation of these
two institutions of learning, which
are departments-of the government,
JfiU be of benefit to the educational
ttereats of Georgia.
'Quite the contrary will result.
ATHENS BANNER : TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 29 1 891

The New York and Pennsylvania

tion. The South and the West will
unite to ask a few questions on this line
when the delegates all meet in national
convention.
Why does Ton Watson not follow
Mb. Livingston and make another

It seems that the legislature has noth
ing better to do than listen to speeches.

Col. Livingston has at last come
squarely out oq tho Democratic plat

on the other platforms that he had to
do something or be burned up. -

A BIG SENSATION;
Something of Bell's Paramour's

Tremendous big Howl.
Charlotte, N. C., September 21. -
The capture of the wife deserter and
the fraud preacher, ,Z..T. Bell, iu
Lumpkin county, Ga., is causing a big
sensation in this state.
I went to Lexington last night and
interviewed Mrs. Bell about the matter,
and found her very much excited over
the news of her faithless husband’s ar
rest. She said that she bad no idea of
bearing from bim, or at least so soon.
It was only hist Tuesday that she told
the story of how her husband bad
eloped with Miss Mashbura and she
could hear nothing from him.
The people of Lexington are very
much wrought up over the matter, and
very little else is talked of. It is a
piece of newspaper detective work
never heard .of in North Carolina be
fore.
Mrs. Bell says that while it may look
hard in her, that she wants to see her
wicked husband and his paramour pun
ished to the full extent of rile law, and
that she will appear against him if
oeoe8sary*
He, too, wrote tbe sheriff of Lumpkin
unty, Ga., yesterday. Some very
nsational -stones in regard Co Miss
ate Mashburn, the woman preacher
Bell has been palming off as his wife,
are now coming to life.
It is charged in Lexington that she
is a woman of bad cbarac er and has
succeeded in -wrecking the happiness
of two families before.
His son-in-law says Miss Mashburn
had better steer clear of Lexington in
the future.
Here’s a good one sure! It comes
from the Eatonton Messenger:
W® have’ this on good anthority:
Mr. Livingston is receiving many let
ters from Geoigiana asking him to se-
cure for the writers positions with the
Richmond Terminal corporation.- It is
evidently tbe impression iu Georgia that
r. Livingston is “in” with the Rioh-
ud Terminal, the greatest monopoly
sr known in tbis-State.

A MUSICAL WONDER* I condensed news dispatches.
THE REMARKABLE SINGING OF A
UTTLE BOY
ONLY TWO YEARS OLD.
At the Ago of Fifteen Months he Was
Found Singing “Annie Rooney’’
and now Knows How to Sing
Thirty Songs.
There Is a musical prodigy right here
iu Athens.
And in wonder and curiosity it ec
lipses the divine musical performances
of Biiad Tom.
It is not often that one sees any de
gree of musical talent developed in a
child of ten yeareof age, but when it
comes to seeing a little boy only two
years old, singing in perfect tune over
thirty songs, the affair becomes one of
wonder.
Yet such is the case of little Julian
Blumentbal, of this city.
The little fellow is twenty five
months old and is well-developed
for his age. His voice is well modula
ted, firm and strong, and strange to
say he can carry a tune as well ns .many
a grown person.
His wonderful talent for music was
first noticed by his. parents when he
was only fifteen months old.
His mother was busily engaged in
attending to the duties of her house
hold one day, when she heard some one
-singing the then very popular song,
.“Annie Rooney.” She paid no atten
tion to it at first, thinking it was surely
some one in the streets singing. v
Turning around however, she saw
her little baby sitting in the floor sing
ing for all he was worth. He had
learned the words of the song from bis
nurse and was proceeding to put them
into musical execution.
The mother was absolutely amazed,
but determined to let the little fellow
have his way about tbe matter.
Steady improvement bas been made
by the little fellow since then and now
he knows the words of over thirty
songs, and some of them are over
twenty lines in length.
He sings such songs as “Home,
Sweet Home,” “Suawanee JRiver,”
“Sweet Bye and Bye,” besides many
little ditties. .
The other day being brought down
town by bis. father be heard some one
plaj ing a cornet over at Haselton &
Dozier's, and immediately commenced
to tag at his, father’s coat-tail until he
carried him over there.
His musical proclivities certainly ap
proach tbe truly wonderful.

By this time there was considerable

What came very near being a serious
difficulty was averted, and in the con
tinuance of his speech Mr. Fleming
stated that he had no apology to offer.
He had not insulted any one, and there
fore had nothing to retract. He had
made no personal remarks about any
body.
Dr. Baldwin arose to a question of
personal privilege and: said:
"I wish ter apologize to this house—I
mean the house—for my hasty words

The railroad commission pronounce
the boycott 'gainst the Georgia South
ern as a dangerous precedent, and that
it should not be allowed to prooeed.
This is the first time a boycott by one
road against another has been attempt
ed in Georgia, hence it is a new ques
tion with the commission.
Mr. Boifoillet, of Macon, is engaged
today in preparing a bill to be intro
duced tomorrow, and it will be' hurried
through both houses, so the d elay won’t

The boycott has very materially
strengthened the Berner bill,and it looks
now like it may pass.' It serves as a
strong argument iu favor of the Berner
bill, and the advocates of the bill are
turning it to good account.

A Milleraburg, O., special says: A
very peculiar disease has been prevail
ing among the hogs about Holiue.-.ville,
north of this place. They apparently
eat, but their flesh literally drops from
them in pieces, and if not buried soon
after dead, nothing is found to bury,
it seems that the disease consumes them
entire. William. Pointer and others
have lost a number of line hogs by the
strange disease, and there is much
alarm by the farmers. No remedy has
been fdund, and sure death follows au
attack.
A Bismarck, N. D., special says that
word has jpst reached there that George
W. Johnson and bou, living about sixty
miles south of there, in Emmons county,
were burned to death while fighting one
of the worst ptairie fires ever witnessed
in that county. Owing to the unusual
ly long grass this year the fire was un
controllable, and swept over the coun
try from Winchester, on the Missouri
river, for fifty miles southeast, destroy
ing a large amount of grain, hay
buildings, etc. An estimate of the
damage cannot yet be marie.

bud Bepublicans every .\ here through
the west of one mind and ou the sub
ject. We want Blaine and we are
