| * ^^^ggggj." — ATHENS BANNER TUESDAY MORNINQ, OCTOBER 2? 1891 beware of this BOOK! there is one snbject upon which Banner feels a deeper and more idiog interest than any other, it is that which is symbolized by a tat tered old battle llag that, unsullied ,nd untarnished, was furled forever AppomattOTj £* & <’ £ f : ■' If there is one principle to which we (ding more tenaciously than all others it is that which would cause the youth of oar great and-gloriouB Southland to be taught that, the cause for whibh their fathers fought aud died were as great and sacred as ever called the valiant to the field of death. ., ■ To the end of carrying out our principles along this line, we have so located and urged the use of text books in our Southern schools and colleges that ’ teach that which we^ as Southerners, would have the ris ing generation believe ; that tell them, not that their fathers were traitors and that the conflict between the States was rebellion; but that tell them their fathers were brave and loyal, and true men, who fought in defence of their rights and their liberties. ^ We condemn the Southern man who would teach his children that the Sopth was wrong and that the great conflict was .rebellion. The measure of our disapprobation is bat little less concerning the* Southern man who would allow bis children to be taught such doctrine. And we all litt our heads proudly as Geor gians in the consciousness that our grand old State possesses only few such citizens. Yet. there are being taught in difi ferent institutions of the South his tories of the United States that pre sent this great question in the most false light imaginable. And that which arouses our concern more than anything else is the fact that there is being taught in the University of Georgia just such an iniquitous text book." - It is Johnson’s history of the Uni ted States, and; was introduced into the University by Professor J. L McPherson, formerly of the Univer sity of Michigan, and is used by him as a text book for the Junior class. While we have no attapjt to make on Professor McPherson or anybody else at prepent, the Banker feels that if it owes one duty to the pifb lie, as a public servant; if there is one utteranoe it can make without apology, that duly and that utter ance lie in .the honest sober criticism of sncb learning taught in the State’s eheriehed University, an institution that belongs absolutely to the peo ple of Georgia. One or two paragraphs from this book will forever damn it in the minds of men who .love the stars and bars. Concerning the secession of the States it says U “Under what claim’ of constitu tional right all this was done passes comprehension. That a State con vention should have the final power of decision on the question which it was summoned to consider is quite as radical doctrroe as has yet been heard of * * * * * is a novel feature in American' Constitu tional law. It was revolution or nothing.” ' r. Can such doctrine as this be tol erated in an institution dear to the hearts of Georgians ? Must we tench the youth of oar State that the South had no right t6'sececfe > If such be tho necessity of the case, we would respectfully advisethe abolishment of the Chair of History as the far lesser of the two" evils.. Continuing, the book says : “The functions of the voter ceased when he voted for delegates to the State convention: he could only look on helplessly while that body went on to oonstittft«--'him a citizen ofja new nation,'*--qf which he had not dreamed whenhe^oted, and which could only exist by warring upon the United States.” In all 'fairness, and more patient than we ought to be,' we ask is this history? Not satisfied with teach ing that we of the South were out— m and 1 audits to secede; the on- JF truthful author goes on to say, that the majority of Southerners were un willingly forced intg the Confederacy. As to the falsity , of tfc$s base insin uation answer the four long years ot warfare in which the Southern aoL. diers fought with a heroism unsur passed by the Spartan heroes at Thermopylae or the Old Guard at Waterloo. A little further on it characterizes 1h Snilhern Slates as ‘erriDg sis° ter-.’ and takes o casion to pass high compliments upon all the war Gov- fcrnors as being prompt, methodical : - * - • • • and intensely devo ed to their duty. Especial emphasis is laid upon the fact that the Southern people joined the Confederacy in order “to follow the State," as if no higher motives impelled them to take the step In another place he speaks of congress making ‘‘confiscation of property a penalty of rebellion.” Then follows a piec;; which we nail up as a lie, aud those who don’t like it can lump it. It is as follows : ‘The suspension of the writ of ha beas corpus, and the vast ., powers granted to President Davis, or as sumed by him under the plea of mil» itary necessity, with the absence of a watchful and well-informed public opinion, made the Confederate Gov ernment by degrees almost a despot* ism.” In another place it speaks of de sertion as being common in the Con federate ranks; in still another, of the dissatisfaction prevalent through the whole South about the war, and at last to state that the South had been a clog on the advance of the whole nation. Space will not admit a lengthy res view of this part of Johnston’s His* tory of the United States. We would willingly spread it all ont before our readers if we could. Without constitutional rights, re bellion, despotism; in other words traitors to their country! Is such a book to be tanght our Georgia boya? Not much. From your'narrow house at Wash ington in the grand old connty of Wilkes, come forth thon undaunted Southerner in all the majesty of your untamed spirit and record against such a proceeding the shining name of Robert Toombs ! Thon diminu tive giant of Georgia] statesmanship, now sleeping within the town of Crawfoxdville,speak in trumpet tones and forbid the teaching of each doc trine in the institution of which you were so honored a graduate ! Sil very tongue ot Hill and matchless oratory of Cobb proclaim the fallacy of such a step, through the magic power of the reverenee that Geor» gians bear upon yonr memories ! Professor McPherson says he does not intend to teach the boys any thing like the sentiments of this book, and announces that he only teaches the history as a thread upon which to hang his lectures. If he wants something strong upon which to bang his lectures be will not find it in any such a book. The thread he has chosen is not sound. The ground work is unrighteous. As w**11 might we advise a parent, who wishes to teach his son the doc trines of Christianity, to put in his hands the works of Tom Paine and Bob Ingersoll and Voltaire in order that be might have a good thread upon which to hang bis pions lec tures. And more than this, the sectional Btand of this history is not its only fault. It inoulcates Republican doc trine from the beginning to the end, and of this we will have something to say later. The whole book is wrong so far as its purpose in the University is con cerned, and the sooner it Is put out of the curriculum the better. —..... IT WILL BE SPEAKER CR’SP. Georgia will have the next Speaker of the National Honse of R. presen- tatives. Every sign points that way at least, and it verily seems that the whole country is chrystal- ized for the Georgia .Congressman. The New York Herald’s Washing ton correspondent makes the follow ing reference to Congressman Crisp : Representative Charles F. Crisp, of Georgia, is in the city, and natu rally his presence has caused a re vival of speakership gossip. Judge Crisp, like all the.other candidates, is very hopeful. He has good grounds for his hopes Wuile the fact re* mains that a large contingent of the next congress is unpledged to any man, Judge Crisp has already an encouraging list of personal prom ises. He told me to«day that he waB constantly expecting a practically solid vote from the South. He also has assurances from Northern and Eastern Democrats that make the outlook very encouraging. “The real contest for the speaker, ship,” said the Judge, ‘‘will not be gin until after the November elec* tion. The campaign will likely be short and sharp. I am very well satisfied with my prospects. I have a flattering number of personal pledges 1 presume that is what all the candidates say, however. Every one feels sure of bis election, and of course there are bound to be disap pointments. The canvass will be lively from the fact that so many new members are coming in. It has been remarked that not for many years have there been so many on- committed votes in the speakership question. This, I presume is true Over half of the next congress will be composed of new men, the major ity being proportionately democratic. These new members naturally want to meet the candidates and make their personal acquaintance before they pledge their support. “Judge Crisp said be had been depending largely npon newspaper accounts for his knowledge of his opponents’ movements, and from what be had learned that way he had no cause to be disheartened.” PREPARE FOR WAR! — an INTERESTING COMMUNICA TION oh MILITARISM. V -— - THE NATION STAGNATING. SPLENDI^^RVE^TWEATHER. The farmers of thqTPiedrrfont sec» tion of the South could ask no better season for the harvesting of their crops this year than what they have received all along. Not lately have the crops been gathered under such propitious con ditions as they have this autumn, and.tbe farmers have a double cause for thanksgiving. They have had good seasons all the year through fqr the growing of their crops, and now have glorious sunshine for the harvest. . , ■. The farmers ought to be happy. an important CONVENTION. In Atlanta October 28th there will be held a most important conven tion, aud it ought to attract a large attendance. Reference is made to the cotton convention which has been called all over the South for the farmers of Dixie to meet and decide upon cut ting down thb acreage of cotton in the South. It would be wise for this convention to cut down the acreage at leaat one half. The world needs a rest in the production of cotton. The stores are filled with cotton goods which cannot be disposed of for some time to come, the cotton men tell us. This keeps down the price of cotton. Moreover the far mers of the , South ought to live at home. They ought to devote more of their land to corn, peas, potatoes, grain and the like. They ought to raise more live stock, hogs and poul< try. This is practical farming. Now let the farmers make the cot ton convention in Atlanta a turning point. Let them start the work of reducing the cotton acreage in dead earnest. The convention ought to be largely attended, and the farmers who gather there ought to meet with a purpose fixed and determined. boys fight, men hava th-;ir qti.trre and even trade is a fight, a arduous wrangle of brains with brab - in which the superior power of judu inent wins.

That isdur candid opinion. .Thanks Brother Grubb, we fear “dis- tauee lends enchantment” in yonr eyts away down tlieie on the hazy coast. We do fear it. Until recently the antiquarians have never been able to agree on which one of the English WasbiDgtens was Geokqb Washington’s direct ancestor, but now they seem to have settled on Rev. Lawrence Washington, rector of Porlaigb Id Bsmx He was tinned out of his living and died in 1053, four or five years after which date his two sons, John and Laweencef emigrated to Virginia. The family history after their arrival is well known. Their father lies buried at Malden in Essex and the parish records seem to make a fairly reliable case in bis favor as the immediate English ancestor of the Vir ginia family. It was already well known that John and Lawrence Washington came to Virginia as refu gees from Puritanism. The BEENERbili was defeated, and the railroad monopoly will continue its wicked work, gouging the people at every step.—Franklin New?. Be patient yet awhile! Another leg islature will assemble and this matter will be made an issue by the people in the election of their representatives. Mark it down Snhaoribe for the n mnor siiig of Peace” aud “the Horrors of War" stiud prominn t. It is but logical that with such preuiioes the conclusion should be reached that militarism is also au evil, and such in fact, is the general opinion iu this country. Jtt might, therefore, not be out of plac- to show some of the advantages of Mili tarism. The‘-inarticulate masses” as Carlyle calls them, who thoughtlessly speak of the “blessing of peaeefnl pursuits” will in the same breath speak of the -‘strug gle for existence’’' that is forced on every individual, but it does not occur to them that this struggle is also forced on ete-y nation, and that to be be3t prepared for it,<ives the greater chances lor victory. Peace is not the natural condition of thi3 world and no religion will ever produce snHi a state. Nay, the “Ecelesia milnans” in its very name expresses its warlike char acter and in point tf fact, the Christian Church w ith its doc trines of love, has this in common with others, that to propagate this doctrine it has found fire and sword most valu - ble adjuncts. The earlv Christians were tortured while 'hey were in the minority, no sooner did they gain the majority but they commenced to tor ture infidels This was their right, for in this world might is r ght and no teaching of morality will shake this rock; this is a fact, it may be deplora ble, but it has to be reckoned with. So ciety can and will, for self preservation, guarantee his possession 1 to the indi vidual to a certain extent, but who guarantees to society, to the nation its possessions? The Indians owned this country, but the whites were mightier and the red man had to go, in the same manfler the negroes wifi, in time, be forced to give up Africa. England owned this country as a colony, the colonist- proved th mselvesthe mighti erand old England must let go her most promising domain Had the re bellion been a failure, Washington cap tured aud bung, he would have gone dowii to history as a rebel and traitor; success wins admiration, and failure contempt; we are too much in a hurry to examine the motives, and results concern us more. Rome conquered the world, the Goths and Vandals conquer ed Rom!; the Celts were driven from every part of Europe and found in Ireland the last retreat, beyond which for a long while they could not recede, now they are migrating to these shores. Asia, the great cradle of humanity; has from time to time poured out fresh people to take the plac s of those who had lost in robustness,and as it has been it ever wil[ be a question of might as who shall possess the land. Russia may be next, to expand into Europe after she gets a little more civilization, France ard all the other Latin races, decayed as every one of them is, are likely to be a fight between Romanic and Germanic races, but between' Germanic and Star peoples for tbe possessions of Europe. Woe to Europe if she is not prepared for tbe Semi-Barbarians, if not every male has been trained to reach bis greatest possible physical development and to be every inch a soldier, with heart and soul a warrior. AT ITS ZENITH The military spirit is at its height, all Europe is a camp and her youug men are being strengthened by drills, gym nastics and marches. Their minds are diverted from de grading materia], objects and dollar chasing to the virtues of self-denial, exertion and sacrifice of comfort for the safety aud defense of their country. They are leading wholesome lives in the armies, where everything has been studied, is both as to nutiitiou and exercise, that will insure to each individual the high est degree of health and efficiency, and the sons of poor laborers return home with dusts expanded, hard muscles and rosy cheeks, which they could have never purchased while trying to eke out a poor existence in confined work shops. Those, indeed, are few, who don’t recall their army life with pleas ure, and often with regret, that it last ed no longer. The difference in the physique before and after service alone would entitle the army to the claim of a beneficial institution, but we see its greatest mer it in the circumstances that it is a daily reminder that we are not here to be ab sorbed in material pursuits alter wealth, but cultivate all manly virtues, to which luxuriant wealth and ease are the greatest enemies. As soon as a nation begins to bo too affluent, it is like the individual, prone ‘Mo lull on a lewd bed of vice,” lose its vigor, and it will fall a prey to more virile aggressors. To this danger, com mercial nations, above all others, are exposed, and it is, therefore, a pity for these United States not to have un friendly neighbors who would compel us to he on our metal at all hours. Who shall say that these fertile lands will not, at a distant future, attract the ambition of acorquerer? This coun try has held its owu against all comers, but so had Carthage, also a purely commercial Common wealth . but at last the most heroic de fense did not avail against Scipio and they paid the penatly for having loved their money and peace better than Hannibal, a general worthy to have served a noble people. DRIFTING TO EKFEMINATION. The conditions that made the earlier settlers and their descendants in this country the sturdy, eudnring and fo!'- respecting men, who had complete faith in their own ability to shape their des tination without any interference, are gradually passing away Most ot the obstacles to civilization have been wres tled with and overcome, the cities an:l ra if roadsand canal? are there; only in the fir west a man ba3 still ro epeud on his own resent ces to keep his Fcalp on his head; but in tbe east civilization is undisturbed, commetce flourishes, wealth is accumulated in almost in credible amounts and; Mercury is God, with bis followers luxury and ease^ leading eventually toeffi mination, un- lets v lar; should appear early enough to give a health j' shaking up. We were not made to live or at ease Want of ohysiea makes 11 ibl y blood and low anything fought for it and conquered. And con quer we will if w<- an-the te:te- of the two parties to the conflict, It we are not, it serves us right to los- Our mental and physical endowments are capable of development and as a de gree of power that seems almost marvel jous; this is the pound that has been given to us with the command to in crease if we neglect this duty it will be taken from us a hundred fold; i. e., be will help himself to it. THE PANACEA FOE THE EVIL. Militarism is the panacea for the evil wrought by civilization pushed to ex cess. It makes - men of those who with out would be broken down in health, it compels, the richest, as it does the poorest to do duty for himself an.: teaches him that here at least is one thing to perform, for which he cannot hire any body. It makes a nation self-reliant, confi dent in her own strength and best ol all, it sets up, not money, but worth ~ a? the standard by which a man is to be guaged. Should then a foe attack such a nation, he will but bis head against it; if he should have lived in the same martial spirit and prove the stronger, the conquered will have tbe consolation of an lionorablu death, far preferable to an ignominiou? life by the leave of an impudent conquerer or worse “protec tor ” The Gauls, not. able to defend themselves against Ariovist, called in Caesar; the Brittians called the Anglo- Saxon against the Picto and Lecto and had to repent it; both are lost as a na tion. In our times Turkey presents an instructive spect-eie to the world, showing what rights a helpless body politic possess?8. Is It not a question, shall Turkey be divided up, but how it shall be done and Russia rather thinks it hardly worth while to divide at all, but to take tbe whole. Might will decide as it has sealed the fate of Poland. Without being fully equipped for war, no nation- should feel wronged g if a strong er neighlrour, but less rich in fertile soil, or whose population is increasing faster and needs expan sion, should wrest from its hands wbat these hands are too weak to hold. Eternal peace on this globe is not possible Dor desirable and Christian doctrine has not shown its ability to abolish war. Christian nations war against each other and from splitting hairs about the meaning of the Bible, they come to splitting heads, and split them for thir ty years in one continuous war, to say nothing of tbe Huguenots. It is said, the Christian is a Religion of love and peace, but also, “My king dom is not of this world.” Abminixts. lYicElree’s imiiic of Cardui and THEDFORD'S BUCK-DRAUGHT are for sale by the following merchants in B S Lyndon, Athens, Ga.
