IB BANNER’S. POSITION ON RAIL
ROAO LEGISLATION-
gOn Saturday Hon. A. F. Pope,
member of the House from Ogle-
Ihore.was in Athens and in the.coqrse
>f a conversation with a reporter of
Fhe Banner, took occasion to say
among other things that The Ban-
her was * - on the wrong side of the
railroad question.” Let us see.
The Banner is now and aiways
has been opposed to legislation pro
viding for the forfeiture of charters
as a remedy. This is a harsh and
extreme measure which the situation
does not demand.
The Banner is now and always
has been opposed to legislation which
interfered with any lawful contracts
of the railroad companies. The
leases of the Georgia, the Augusta
A Savannah, the Southwestern, and
the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line
are lawful and proper contracts and
ought not to be disturbed.
The Banner is now and always
has been opposed to legislation in

This has been going on for fourteen

petition between the R & D. and the
Central tbat was at work. Its ben
eficent results are seen on every side
here in our town. Cotton compresses

the Smith substitute which declares
such leases void. It simply follows
the Constitution and says that the
‘contract” shall be void if it de
stroys competition and creates a mo
nopoly. The Constitution declares
the “contract” void and the Smith
substitute follows it, and carries it
into effect
Another bill called tbe Chappell
substitute was proposed, which left
this illegal contract standing and
called upon the Railroad C munis
Aioh to deal with the ratps. This
bill was lost,

with innocent sincerity and faith de
clare that the agitation of railroad
legislation at the State house has
caused the Central stock to tumble.
If our esteemed contemporary will
go back and study tbe Btock reports
it will find tbat the Central stock
went down, down day after day a
month before the legislature met in
summer session.
It could not be otherwise when the
Central, a competing line, and a line
that had always been so prosperous,
was leased to the Georgia Pacific, a
railroad that was paying not a dollar
to its stockholders, but which waa
drifting hopelessly upon the shore of,
bankruptcy.
It is well to be honest in these
matters The Berner bill will, if it
tver shall become a law, have the
effect to strengthen confidence in the
Central’s stock. It is best that the
people of Georgia, and especially the
newspapers, should uol be frightened
away from their commercial and in
dustrial freedom by snch faked re*

We have fallen upon strange times.
The world is growing wiser in the
arts and sciences. Men have gone
far beyond tbe acknowledged scope
#f jMiman achievements; strange de
vplopments are coming to light each
<i«y beneath the manifestation of
scientific culture; mysteries of art
are made plain, and the world is ad
vancing.
But, there is a more serious view
to take of human progress here on
earth. In the face of all this won
derful material development is the
world growing better ? Is the wis
douLof the age a wholesome wisdom?
HMr the good God of us all drawn
mankind nearer to his side f Does
tbe age bring blessings of piety and
faith ?
Here is room for serious thought
John Temple Graves in his last
speech was not far wrong, we fear
when he said : “The most ominous
shadow that hangs over tbe horizon
of free thought is the sweep of skep
ticism against the creeds that have
held the world imbalance for a thou
sand years. Tbe earth is rank with
infidelity. Doubt hangs on lip of
youth and age, pn man ,ai\d maid
and matron, and boy philosophers,
otten before they are ripe, strut out
There are fashions in thought as well
as in style. The old dame is as abso
lute in one as in the other. Her devo
tees follow her mandates in both alike.
It is the fashion now to abuse railroads.
Multitudes do so, and for the very same
reason that a woman wears a long-tail
ed basque or a plug hat—siraplv because
it is the style.—Waynesboro True Citi
zen.
Nobody ought to abuse m<]roads.
Abuse is not the weapon . .ighta
wrong. The peon's of Georgia have
no quarrel for-the railroads. But they
will enforce thoir constitution and de
mand that rightful competition shall
not be destroyed. This ii fair.
Cornell University can boast the
biggest freshman olass this year. It
numbers about six hundred. It is to
be remembered, however, that Cornell
has a great many departments, and tbat
the newcomers in all these are taken
into account. In the classical depart
ment Harvard has a long lead in the
number of new students as usual.
To run the machinery of every manu
factory in Athens by electricity.
That seems like high talk, and yet it
»a project tbat is now on foot, and
which stands splendid chances of being
carried out.
It would be a magnificent sight to see
the machinery of the entire city turn
ing at the command of an almost invisi
ble power, and obeying the subtle elec
tric fluid as it came rolling over the
wires from the powerful electric
plant.
The plans of this mammoth scheme
have not yet been fully matured,but tiny
have been sufficiently developed to tell
that tbe, movers in tbo scheme are tho
roughly in earnest, and mean to push it
through to success.
Here is theii plan, and it is a leasable
one:
The company is made up of Atlanta
capitalists, and it is their desire to es
tablish an -elcctric plant that will be
powerful enough to turn all the
machinery in Athena.
Where an abundance of water pow
er can be easily secured, electricity can
be generated very cheaply.
This company of capitalists have been
in communicatiou with parties to sec
they can secure the use of ten tbotfSand
horse power at Barnett Shoals. The
water power there is unlimited in
amount, and it is said by those who are
in a position to know that the trade
will be made by which the Atlanta
Company will secure the
right to use ten thousand horse power
at Barnett Shoals.
If such arrangements are m&do, this
company proposes to put in a mammoth
plant at the place where the electricity
will be generated and run on wires to
Athens.
It is claimed that motive power can
be furnished in this manner mucb
cheaper than by the use of coal and if
that iB true, then this new enterprise
will be a great benefit to Athens and
her people.
The gentleman who furnished us
with this information is a well known
citizen in Athena who knew what he
was talking about.
He also said that the same company
stood ready to establish a plant of sixty
thousand horse power with which to
move all the machinery in Atlanta if
convenient water power near that city
could be found.
Tbe development of these plans will
be watched with interest, not only in
Athens but all over Georgia.
It may mark an era in the history of
material development along the line of
motive power.

of Brooklyn.
New York, Oct. 6.—Mrs. Butcher of
2_‘5 Snudford street, Brooklyn, is the
victim of a most peculiar case of men
tal disorder, said by physicians to have
been directly attributable to the grip
which proved an epidemic in that city.
Her malodv is characterized as ecstnsis.
For five days and five nights Mrs.
Batcher slept, unconscious of anything
that was going on arotaid her; nncon-
scions of touch, even, and witliont
food or drink. She waa as rigid as if
dead.
At one time she was lifted out of
bed and stood up in a corner of her
room. Her poise seemed to have
ceased to beat and respiration was
not noticeable. Her hands were on her
shoulders in a sort of convulsive grasp.
The ’combined strength of three men
could not remove them. Neither could
her legs be bent. In fact, she was
like a marble statue, except there was
a glow anon bee flesh which evidenced
the fact that life was not yet extinct.
When she awakened from her fire days’
sleep her miud was clear, her eyes were
bright, and she appeared ana acted

of anything that hafi taken place. She
said she had had a delightful night’s
