. ATHENS BANNER y TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 20 1891 ' 4G ROUGH SHOD OVER A COM MUNITY. The time was when a sovereign 1 controlled all questions touch* ; its varied interests and when its aslitotion was the highest law of t Commonwealth. In these latter days a change has come over the spirit of the times, and tne plain letter and spirit of the Constitution is violated with impu sity and the violation upheld by the General Assembly of the State. Not only are such proceedings al lowed, but other violations, gross and manifestly wrong, are permitted. We have to-day the spectacle, sad indeed to behold, of the sovereign State of Georgia and her patriotic people wholly within the power of a foreign corporation, whose only aim is to extract from these people the greatest tribute possible in order to fatten and enlarge its treasury. Burdens, grievous and hard to be borne, are placed upon an unwilling public, and when a bill is introduced into the General Assembly to remedy these evils, the representatives of this suffering constituency, casting aside the wishes of their people, vote with the money kings and defeat the popular will. The West Point Terminal monop oly, in addition to making leases wholly repugnant to the Constitution of the State, discriminates in an un warranted measure against different communities in various matters. To guard against just such steps oar Railroad Commission was organ ized, and its work thus far has been a good one, but there are instances of such discrimination that merit the consideration cf this tribunal and the remedy that is prescribed in such cases. We will deal with this matter in plain words. It is simply this: Athens and ‘Atlanta are competing points for the trade of this section of the State. The Richmond & Dam* ville road puts its rates in euch shape as to violently discriminate against Athens, by giving Atlanta a much lower rate than Athens, even from points that are three times as near to Athens as they are to Atlanta. Now put these two simple state* ments together, gentlemen of the Commission, and tell us why you allow such rates to stand, or if you intend that they shall stand any longer ? The people of Athens are a part of the State of Georgia, and claim their share of protection under its laws. Athens doesn’t want any favorite ism shown her in the matter of rates, and she has no quarrel to make with Atlanta; but she has this much to say, that if the Railroad Commission will see that the rates are made equal, she will show her larger sister how to handle a cotton crop. Some years ago he was appointed by the General Conference to the editorship of the Wesleyan Christian Advocate, and for eight years filled that position with distinguished ability, keeping the Wesleyan fully abreast with the leading religious journals of the countiy. Dr. Potter was a man of strong convictions and most earnest in the advocacy ot any measures which be thought was for the good of the Church. While editor of the Wes leyan, it was thought by some of bis friends that be stressed the mission ary cause to the exclusion of other matters of importance. But then he looked upon this cause as one 0/ su«» perlative importance, and he always gave an earnest and able defence of every cause he espoused. After re tiring from the editorial chair Dr. Potter became one of the Miasiona- ry Secretaries of the Methodis Church, and travelled over the coun try at large preaching and laboring in the cause of missions. This was the subject that engaged heart and brain and all his energies during the last years of his life, and it was well that even to the last he was able to engage in the work he loved so much. For lour years Dr. Potter was the pastor of the First Methodist Church in this city, and his memory is pre cious in many Athens homes. two hours while awake. The exact composition of the mixture,or “shot” as they call it at Dwight, is Dr. Kee- ley’s secret, but Or. Mines claims that it cured him in two weeks, and that he has never since had a desire to drink strong liquor. In view Af these facts, the question as to the curability of drunkenness becomes decidedly more interesting.. THE BRONZE STATUE OF PEERLESS GEORGIAN Before the Gaze of Admiring Thou sands-Preparations Being Made for the Occasion-A Large Crowd Will be Present. Thk people of Athens look to the Railroad Commission for protection in regard to the rates which are violently discriminative on the part of the Rich mond A Danville. The remedy lies within the power of that tribunal, and as citizens of the State, our people ask them, why shall snch patent violations be allowed to exist any longer. Thk cotton along the line of the Northeastern continues to roil into At lanta, although Athens is the nearest market. Why ? Not because there are better prices to be obtained in A tlanta, but because there is an advantage of four cents per hunpred pounds in the matter of freight. Will the Raibroad Commission explain why such discrim ination is allowed? A NEW JAIL. At the last term of Clarke Supe rior Court, the Grand Jury recom mended tbe building of a new Court bouse and jail, but nothing seems to have resulted from their recommen dation. Very recent events, and the escape of three prisoners from the jail very forcibly demonstrates the pressing -necessity of a new jail building. The present jail is very poorly ar ranged, and is an old building. The wood-work is rotten, and it is an easy matter for a prisoner to' pick bib way through the wails to liberty. This was demonstrated only a few days sinoe, when three negroes with a large nail dng their way through the floor and rotten sills and wall and escaped. Let the Grand Jnry,. now in sion, look well', into this matter-be fore making its decision, and fn <ts presentments let there be a recom mendation for the itnnfttiifcfe boh etraction of a new jail building.' Clarke county may not have many ^convicts, and in troth ahe*has very ^^few, but those she has she wants to keep safely fn ihrir cells. Let the coont^-have* a new jail, 4 built according to modern arrange* . ments and made absolutely; safe. v Thk defeat of the Smith substitute and the Berner bill by tbe Senate of Georgia cannot be laid at the door of the Alliance. We are reliably informed that every, member of the fifteen who voted against the motion to indefinitely postpone and in favor of tbe people of Georgia was an Allianceman. IS DRUNKENNESS CbRABLB? Nowadays, when modern science is investigating everything, says the Courier-Journal, and tracing, little by little, effects back to causes, there is nothing more instructive or more interesting, and, perhaps, few things that in the end may be more bene- ficial, than Che study of drunkenness. No doubt there are many who are willing |to undertake snch research in its practical sense, by offering themselves as experimental candi dates, but though these gentlemen may be sly, devilish sly, sir, like Joey Bagstock of ancient memory, we prefer to evade that (issue, and consider the question in its abstract phases. It is as plain as the nose on a man’s face that drunkenness is a misfor tune and causes a multitude of sou rows, but it is not worth while -to spend any time in lamentations over that fact, since it will profit better to set, to work and discover if there is any cure for it- It has been held that all forms of vice are diseases, but, however that may be, there is scarcely room for denying that drunkenness may be either regarded altogether, or, at least to a great ex tent, in that light. Therefore, being a disease there should be some cure for it, as there are for most other diseases, and what that remedy is several hundred thousand persons in this country, in addition to their friends, would like to find out. Certainly the most promising rem edy that has yet been proposed is that of Dr. Leslie J£. Keeley, of DwighVllL, as the cures that he has made are so numerous and are so well attested that even the doubters have their curiosity awakened When men of such reputation and intelli gence as Opie Reid, ex-Congressman Tarnsey, George Work, State Sena tor Rust, of Wisconsin; Cspt. Rob ert Ayres,ot the United States Army, and others 4>f equal standing, testify to the value esd efficacy of the renib edy it is surely worth investigating. Dr. Keeley cares drunkenness by treating it as a disease, that is, by ^driving away the appetite for liquor, just as tbe fever is driven by return- Me W heeler’s bill to shorten the sessions of tbe legislature is a good one and should by all means become a law There is no reason why the amount of business coming before the legislature shouldn’t be transacted in the time al lowed by this bill. . Thk yield Of grain in Ohio is the lar gest that has been produced in that state in many years. Doubtless the Republican orators will soon be heard from, claiming that it is entirely due to the workings of the McKinley bill. All factions of the New York Demo crats have gotten together and this fall they will roll up such a majority for Flower and ,the rest of the ticket that it will paralyze the Republicans. Thk Grand Jury of Clarke county is an able body of citizens and is getting down to solid work. N MEMORY OF GRADY. TO BE UNVEILED All of the work on the Grady Statue has been completed except, the placing of t[je statue itself. ‘ Awl everything will be in readiness for the unveiling on the 21st inst. Occurring daring the Piedmont Ex position, the red uced rates on railroads will afford an opportunity to thousands of loyal Georgians and Southerners to go to Atlanta to pay loving tribute to the memory of the peerless Georgian. Atbeus will dou'itless send over a large delegation of citizens to tbe un veiling. The statue is a work of superb art and is very neatly executed. The base upon which the statue rests is elegantly polished and bears these inscriptions: On the east side: j HENRY W.

A MODERN EDEN In Which There Is no Trace of Evil. A gentldman remarked yesterday at tbe court house that there was one place in Georgia in' which there was absolutely no trace of evil. Said he: “In tbe town of Ellaville, there is not a dram shop, there is not a person that drinks liqnor, there never has been a gambling scrape, there is no ne< d of police; the courts find a dull time while in session; tbe churches are always well filled; there is no stealing and no killing, and if a man were to 1st slip an oath, they would run him oat of the town. “An oldfashioned town, purged of all guilt, and in which the citizens are liv ing in peace and prosperity.” That was certainly a high encomium to place on Ellaville, and in due season it may become as famous as Proctor Knott’s Duluth. In these days and times such a place is verily an Eden. CARNESVI^LB CULLINGS. Happenings Of. In the Metropolle Franklin.

He had been an itinerant frora early manhood, and served some of the most promi- H charges in the Georgia Con- lescenf patient. One thoroughly cured inebriate, a man of wide repu tation Dr. John Fluvel Mines, con tributes to the current number of the North American Review an article explanatory and descriptive of Dr. Dr. Keeley’s core, written by a man of understanding who has been through the mill himself and has found relief. • i -$ • Dr. Keeley’s cure is very simple He does net limit the liberty of his patients by any iron chain of regu lations, but merely requires that his medicine shall be taken at regular intervals. As Dr. Mines describes it, he administers to each new pa tient a W Our now very bright, and it is the general impression that Prof, and Mrs. Parker have come to stay, as this is regarded being one of the best paying schools in the State, and it is said Prof. Morgan H Looney realized over two thousand dollars from his school here this year. Bill Goss and Ben Power, two of Harmony Grove’s bnsiness men and prominent citizens, were here today on business. G. L. Carson, of Bold Springs, and Robert Ginn, of Royston, were in tbe oitv today.

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 13.—[Special.]— The biggest mortgage that has proba bly ever been filed in this county was put into tbe bands of tbe clerk of the superior court yesterday afternoon. S was filed by the Southern Basking ^ Trust company as agents for the Old’Colonial Trust company, of Bos ton. The mortgage is given by-tbe Atlan ta Consolidated Street Car company as security for the first mortgage bonds, amounting to ten and a half million dollars. One-half of this amount ha3 been is sued, and the balance will be floated at a lat«r day. Tbe company decided to issue the bonds at a meeting last spring, and the mortgage is dated in July and is made to the old Colonial Trust Company, trustee bondholders, of Boston, Mass, fclt is a very lengthy paper and will cover about fifty pages in tbe record books. It is with the money raised from these bonds that the consolidated street car company is now making so many changes. The mortgage covers all of the prop erty of the company. One of the deputy clerks is now at work copying it on the record books. Vox PopuU and Tax Payer. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 13.—[Special.]— Hon. W. P, Sapp, of Chattahoochee county, has made an army of enemies hroughout Georgia. His bill to make newspapers responsible for anonymous communications, which passed the house yesterday, cuts off “Vox Popu li,” “Old Citizen,” “TaxPayer,” etc., omne genus, .from airing their opin ion« through tbe newspapers, and they are not going to like it. However, the senate has not passed the bill, so old “Vox Populi” may still be happy. THE EYE Is a Delicate Organ and Should be Well Taken Care of. TV.

Grady Monument As sociation announces tbe unveiling of the Grady statute on Wednesday, Oc tober 21, 1891, In executing the .sacred trust com mitted to our bauds, we beg to make grateful acknowledgement of the uni form and universal co-operation ex tended us by you. Seldom in its histo ry has the heart of this nation been so touched by the death of one of its citi zens. Never in its history has that heart responded more spontaneously in doing honor to one who in life sought honor only in its love. To crystallze the expression of this love—a people’s love—in perpetual bronze and stone was the duty assigned to us. In rendering back to you the fruit of your generosity, we ask noth ing better at your bauds than the ap proval which we believe the work it self will merit. We cannot fail to make due acknowl edgement of the cordial good will and self-sacrifice which the eminent sculp tor, Mr. Alexander Doyle, has displav- ed in advising and guiding us in our inexperience, and yielding considera tions of personal profit by giving tbe full value of ever dollar donated to this sacred purpose. He knew Mr. Grady, whom to know was to love. As to the work of art itself, the repu tation of the artist may be safely rest ed on the favorable criticism we be speak from you. Again the privilege will be afforded you to join us in doing honor to Mr. Grady. This privilege only needs op portunity. Therefore, in his magic name, we request all merchants and manufactur ers to close their place of business on the 21st instant, from 10 o’clock a. m. to 2 p. m., and afford opportunity to all their clerks and employes, as well themselves, to join us. In his name we request all military companies and other organizations, whether public or private, civil or so cial, philanthropic or humane, to come out in their organic capacity and join us, and that all the courts of justice grant rece38 during these hours and let all the officers and attaches of their tem ples join os. That all the departments of govern ment at the capitol and of tbe capital lay down state aud municipal affairs -and let rulers and people join us in 1 honoring his beloved memory. All these have felt the sympathetic beot of bis great heart. Aye, more. All they, not rulers, not judges, not soldiers, not employes—even the favor ites of ill-fortune and princes in the realm of suffering, commanded the very choicest jewels of compassion which crowued his gentle soul. Let all who love bin^ therefore. “Let whosoever will,” come and join us on this mi morial day. Respectfully, Chakles S. Nortiien, President* Clark Howell, Alex. W- Smith, Fulton Colville, W. P.

Medical aid was at once secured and the physicians did all in their power to ease the intense pain. Mr. Day is at latest reports resting easier, but it is not thought probable that his leg will ever be strong enough for use again.
