SHAME ON YOU. LARRY «
What in the world is the matter
with Larry Gantt again? In a re
cent issue of the Southern Alliance
Farmer (a paper we always read with
peculiar interest) we find the follow
ing editorial utterances:
There is an augean stable in our
State to be cleaned out, and it is filled
with liars and slanderers. They are
the refuse of the Democratic party,
and fully realize that their only hope
for political salvation is to crush the
Farmers’ Alliance out of existence
They dare net meet us in honorable
debate, and so have resorted to the
vilest, fonlest and most cowardly
weapon in existence—the tongue of
the slanderer. No lie is so impreb
able or too filthy for these creatures
to circulate, just so it is against the
Alliance leaders. Like a fl^ck of
carrion-crows, they hover over and
around our headquarters, with the
hope of finding a scrap of oflal on
which to gorge the public. They
are as unscrupulous as they are de
based, and falsehood is their mother
tongue.
Now stop ! Larry, pause just here
and catch a second breath. And
while you catch your wind listen:
Such editorials as this will do the
Alliance more harm than good. It
is certainly very true that there are
some politicians in Georgia who arc
doing the Alliance no good in their
deeds and words Of opposition. Sure
ly, this is to be deplored since the
Alliance is essentially a worthy in
stitution.
But little harm can come of these
few opponents. There are not many
of them—very few. Generally speak*
ing the whole South and the State of
Georgia are chrvstallized for the Al
liance. City folks are not down on
the Alliance, and never have been.
Any sensible man who keeps his wiia
knows this to be true. It is folly to
preach any tactics to the contrary.
It is worse than folly, because it
stirs up strife and hard feeling where
no sncli sentiments exist.
The Banner stakes much faith in
simple honesty. We are all working
with each other for the upbuilding of
the State. Let us go about it fairly
and zealously ; and best of all, let
us go hand in hand, and heart to
heart, with no frown upon our faces
and no malice in our hearts.
Larry, yoa ought to be ashamed
of youaself !
THE BANNER ENDORSED.
The railroad question, so far as it
I bears upon the interests of Georgia
will soon be settled. The legislature
will adjourn before the ides of No
vember draw near, perhaps, and
surely some bill will be passed be
fore adjournment that will have the
effect of settling the matter for weal
or for woe.
Be that as it may, Tnx Banner
feels called upon here and now to
express its gratitude for the many
pieaaing words of endorsement that
| have been spoken in commendation
|it8 utterances against the iniqui
is methods employed by the rail-
id powers in bottling up the com.,
imercial and industrial freedom of
the people of Georgia.
Fr >m far and near, we have been
.gratified to receive letters approving
| our course. Some of these letters
from railroad men who know the
ith that such contracts as have
estly been made were illegal and
Iculated to very serionslv cripple
i Interests of our greav State.
Banner has sought to make
unwarranted fight upon the rail-
ia. Trivia), indeed, would be
ir profession of loyalty to the pub-
lid we move in this matter upon
i impulse of prejudice against the
ilroads.
Gratified to a degree that is itself
ling, by the evidences of ap-
, on the part of the public, The
desires to return thanks
i publicly to the press and to the
ny who have verbally and by let*
graciously praised it for its
nse of the people's industrial and
liberty.
• Athens is about to get Into a
fight with the Kichmond and Dan
ville Notwithstanding all that has
been said and done to avoid it, it looks
like Georgia is to have a great war
with the railroads.—Brunswick Times.
And if the Georgia legislature doesn’t
fix things next Tuesday in the action
it takes upon the Berner bill then the
fight will begin in dead earnest. Are
you ready down there on the seacoaat?

Brunswick has been allied with the
interior heretofore in wars against the
urjust discrimination of railroads.
These discriminations are generally
made in favor of Savannah and against
Brunswick, as well as such interior
points as Athens, Rome, Americas, Co
Iambus, etc This fact usually brings
Brunswick into sympathy with them.
Brunswick has been disposed to look
for fair treatment from the Richmond
Terminal, but if she is not to receive it
she will see what can be done to com
pel it.—Brunswick Times.

The Atlanta Constitution, whose ob
trusive championship of Judge Crisp
has done much to defeat his ambition
to be Speaker, thinks he should be re
cognized as a tariff-reform leader be
cause he is now making speeches in fa
vor of tariff reform. Judged by this
standard, every Democratwbo expects
to remain in public life is entitled to
unearned promotion at the hands of bis
p fa .ty. It is largely due, howevar, to
the work of Me. Miixs, extending
through many laborious years of devo
tion to the campaign of education, that
Judge Crisp and other Congressmen
who like to hear themselves. described
as “conservative” have at last been
broughtte the point of admitting that
the tariff issue is, as the Constitution
reports J udgr Crisp to have said, “the
all-important question of the day.’’—

Come off! The world at large knows
that Mr. CRisr has always been a zeal
ous worker for tariff reform. Cease
your falsifying. Do!

There is only one way to core Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the raucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken oat
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, bearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed conditon of the mucous
surfaces.

RULES AND REGULATIONS.
A clergyman in New South Wales
complains that out of 117 marriages
whi".h be has celebrated within the last
year twenty-nine called him out of bed
between 11 at night and 6 in the morn
ing. He never knows when he is to
have & peaceful night, and all on ac
count of a freak of fashion in his pa
rish.
No man is perfect. No woman is
perfect. Regarding female models for
artists the critics say that the French
are undersized and have bad shoulders;
the Germans have not classic faces and
too broad hips: the Italians are not
well rounded; the English are too tall,
and the Spaniards are anatomically de
ficient.
Larry Gantt, editor of the Southern
Alliance Farmer is on the right line
when be writes:
Let Georgia remodel and build up
her State University, and not tear down
and demolish' this time-honored institu
tion. Let the board of trustees be
elected by the legislature, and the far
mers predominate. This will insure
them a fair return for their money.
Speaking of one who was formerly
a society queen in Athens the Cum-
ming Clarion says:
Plucky Mrs. Lipscomb, wife of a
Washington, D. C. lawyer drew a pis
tol on a gang of men whom her hus
band had offended in a speech. She is
a Georgian and Georgia grit is the
clearest.
There are said to be. sixteen species
of American trees the wood of which,
when well seasoned, will sink into wa
ter. The heaviest of these is black
ironwood, which is thirty per cent,
heavier than water. A specie of oak
grows in Texas and New Mexico which
when green will sink almost as quickly
as iron.
Arranged for the Athens Dispensary.
The commissioners referred the mat
ter of arranging rules for the govern

who prepared the following which were

PRESTO, CHANGE!
With the Rising Sun Begins a New
Era.
At sunrise this morning the city
Athens changes position on the liquor
question.
The Dispensary system will be start
ed as an untried experiment, and much
depends upon its management as to
whether or not it will be a success.
If the law is strictly enforced, and
there is. no reason why it should not be
since it is in auch reliable hands, then
it will be a success.
The average Athenian citizen will
necessarily feel rather queer today
when it dawns upon his mind that
for the first time in over six
years he can walk up to the counter and
buy the ardent legually.
The United States license is here, the
whiskies have been analyzed by Prof.
H. C. White and all pronounced to
pure; the spirits have been bottled up
and sealed and made ready for sale; and
the rules have been adopted by which
the Dispensary la to be controlled.
And this morning with the rising
sun, the doors of the Dispensaiy will
fly open and the thirsty Athenian can
wet his whistle.
Presto? change!
AGAINST THE BILL.
Atlanta, G i., September, 30.—[Spe
cial.]— 1 Ti.e Berner bill discussion to
day was rather desultory and devoid of
sensations. This was something of a
surprise. Col. John Goodwin oi
Fnlton offered the Berner bill and sup
ported the amended Chappell substi-
ute. Dr. Hand of £ak> r took the same
ground.
Mr. Hartridge of Savannah spoke at
aomeleug«b against the Berner bill,giv
ing ia the course of hi< speech some in
teresting figures on the features of the
case which off :ot. many corpora
tions theumouts of stock in these
roads which Georgians hold.
Mr. Hartiidge’s speech was an able
one, but hia reputation oi
humorist has a tendency
to prevent his beiug taken seriously
and he was not given the attention he
deserved.
There was a general attitude of ex
pectancy when Mr. Huff was recog
nized. Mr. Huff is always short and to
the point, and is sure of an audience.
He made a strong speech against the
Berner bill, laying strong stress on the
fact that there is no demand for such
legislation. One point he made was
interesting and had an effect. Col
Hqjfis a member of the Railroad In
vestigating Committee which was ap
pointed by this House. He referred to
that today, and said that tor himself
there had been before that
committee no evidence that proved
the necessity for such legislation
that propoeed by the gehtleman from
Monroe. He wanted it understood that
he did not reveal any committee secrets
when he spoke as be did, but wa
talking merely from his standpoint
He thought there was no necessity for
such legislation.
In the afternoon, Dr. Chappell, of
Laurens, took the floor.
He said that he realized that this
railroad question was an important one
but not a hard one to solve, when we
get near to it, it does not seem so mtri
cate
When the constitution was adopted
we bad no consolidated railroad; bin
times have changed, and the constitu
tion has not; but we must have consoli
dated railroads to enable us to join with
outside lines.
Mi. Gilbert, of Muscogee, spoke next
He said three years ago, when he first
started out into legislative life, there
shot like a rocket across the legislate
sky what was known «s the Olive bill.
He voted for the Olive bill then, but
after mature consideration he had come
to the conclusion that he was wrong
and now favored the consolidation,
he believed it was be stfor the country
He spoke for forty minutes, and at
the conclusion of his speech Mr. Calvin
of Richmond moved to postpone the
consideration of the measure until to
morrow morning immediately after the
reading of the journal.
It was thought that a vote would be
reached today on the bill, but it is not
now regarded as likely, as a number of
the members are loaded with speeches',
and there is a disposition to bear from
everybody. The morning war con
Burned in speaking, and it is probable
that there will be no vote
before tomorrow morning, possibly not
before tomorrow afternoon.
There seems little doubt of the Chap
pel substitute as amended being adop
ted and the sentiment in the House
seems all that way. Berner has spoken
in favor of his bill and Warner Hill and
Bill Davis are expected to talk on the
same. line.
tn the senate.
The pilotage bill is being much dis
cussed among the senators and it seems
probable that it will not pass though
Senator Lamb is a strong advocate of
it. The Brunswick pilots haven
made as much money as they expected
and seem to be the sole advocate of this
bill which is calculated to greatly in
crease their stipends without any in
crease of work.
The senate passed the finance com
mittee’s funding bill today but spent
most of its time on local legislation—
incorporating towns, granting charters
and 8) forth.

A UTTLEpQIfJt^
Hunting for her Father Here In Ath
ens.
Last night’s Georgia train brought
in as a passenger u little., tfen Year old
white girl.
She gave her name as Fannie Jones,
and said she had come all the way from
Rome. A Mr. Sanford, with whom she
had been staying, bought her a ticket
to Atlan'a, and put her m charge of the
conductor.
At Atlanta a ticket to Athens was
bought and when the train rolled in
last night she was taken in charge by
Mr J. Flatau.
She was hunting for her step-father,
Mr. Jim McLochlin, who lives in this
city.
Mr. Flatau didn’t know anything
about M McLochlin, so he carried the
little girl to Mrs. A. J. Booth’s on South
LumDkin street.
Her mother had written to Mr. San
ford in Rome to send the child to Ath
ens and that she would meet ithere.
But she didn’t meet it and the little
one bad tc be taken care of by M rs. Booth
last night.
Mr, McLochlin has been working for
Mr N. F. Tilton and will doubtless go
after his little step daughter this morn
ing.

Terrible Fall or a Child.
Cincinnati, Sept. 29.—The 1-year-old
baby^of George Wear, who lives on the
fourth floor of a tenement lionse at .60
East Pearl street, met with a terrible
fall which will probably result fatally.
The child was. asleep on a bed which
was close against an open window open

window and crashed through a sky
light over _ the hallway in the center of
the building. The .child was carried-
up stairs unconscious and Dr. Crush

THE COMING ROAD CONGRESS
Purposes for Which ft is CaHed and
What It Wants to Accomplish.
A good deal of interest is being
taken in the Southern states road con
gress to be held in Atlanta. Oct 28th
Secretary W. (4. W hid by, of tin
Georgia road congress, in outlining the
work to be accomplished by the com
ing convention, says:
“The object e>f the road congress i
not so much to discuss the preseut roa
laws in force iu. Georgia as the neces
sity of two thi gs: Fitst a peimauen
system; second, permanent improvin
of ihe public roads. There is a wid
difference between working a puhlh
road and building one. As at presi u
enforced in Georgia, the road laws m i.v
do passably well in work
ing the roads, but then
is no permanency in the work
norno8ystem in it. The road con
missioners have never studied the ques
tion thoroughly, and i-\e i if they had.
the law does not give them the funds
necessary loput permanent work on th
reads.
“What desired is permanently im
proved roads, according to a well de
fined and everlasting system, so that
the work done oue year will last fo:
years to come. It must be in line witii
that done in other parts of the country
the succeeding years.
“A small force, worked under the
direction of a man acquaint 3d with the
requirements of a good road, and with
improved labor-saving implements and
material at hand, systematically and
continually, can secure to the people
first class roads cheaper than they could
be bad under the road laws of
Georgia This is true when the
permanency of the work is considered
“The subjects oue of vital impor
tance to all classes It is patent that
our system of agriculture must change
before it can prosper.
“Large farms and the tenant system
must go Small farms cultivated on the
intensive system by the owners must be
the order of the day. But to reach this
result these small farmers must have
good roads to the markets. The haul
ing of large quantities of* produce iu
less than can now be done is an element
of importance in building up the small
farmer.
“In this day of rapid transit, trans
portation by the common road must
not be held back to the place of the
past ages. The county needs the in
spiring effect of faster and better tran
sit.”

the usual high cost of the books preventing peopRj in moderate circumstances from enjoying
