4THENS BANNER : TUESDAY MORNING OCTOBER 27, 1891
Colonel Benjamin Cudworth Yancey
is dead.
And a solemn spell of gloom is thus
east over the entire State of Georgia, for
he was a Georgian who claimed the re*
spect and esteem of all bis fellow oitt*
sens.
Colonel Yancey died in Borne yester
day morning at 5 o’clock. The news
was telegraphed the relatives of the
family here in Athens yesterday morn
ing.
He had been sick several days, having
been suddenly siezed In Atlanta about
two weeks ago. While in biB room at
the Kimball House, about eleven o’clock
at night. Colonel Yancey arose from his
bed and in walking across the room in
the dark stumbled and fell receiving
such a fall as made him unable to rise.
He lay there all night calling for as
sistance but no one came to his help un
til morning. He contracted such a cold
during the night that be Vas very dan-
gerovsly sick the next morning and
was carried to the first train fer Home.
There at the home of bis son Mr. Ham
ilton Yancey be has been growing grad
ually worse until his death which came
yesterday morning.
A BRIEF SKETCH OF HIS LIFE
Col. Yancey was 74 .years old last
April.
He is known all over this part of the
Southern States.
He lived here in Athens for a long
time and is deeply beloved by alj who
knew him.
He was living in the city of Atlanta
when the war began and was among
the very first in Georgia to strike out
for the Confederacy. He organized a
company of volunteers and went
straight w> the front where bullets flew
thickest. He was a brave soldier and
was beloved by bis old soldiers.
Col. Yancey was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Laura Haynes
They bad one child. His second wife
was Miss Sarah P. Hamilton of Ath
ens. Two children were born to her
The three children are Mrs. Hugh N
Harris of Athens, Mrs. Charles Phini'
zy, of Augusta, and Mr. Hamilton
Yancey of Rome.
HIS PUBLIC WOBK.
Col. Yancy just before the war was
made consul to South America and for
a long time served most acceptably in
that capacity.
He was a member of the board of
trustees of the University nearly all his
life and was known to be one of the
most faithful trustees of the college,
He never failed to attend their meet
ings and was perhaps the most loyal
friend rod supporter the University
ever had.
Colonel Yancey was a high minded
man. He had confessedly the most ex
alted conception of honor and of right,
and this was perhaps
the most characterizing
feature of his whole life. '
THE FUNERAL To OAT. |
The funeral Will occur today in Rome,
At 3 o’clock this afternoon all that
was mortal of Col. B. C. Yancey will be
laid to rest forever beneath the sod.
All Georgia will feel the keen pang of
There was a big Alliance meeting in
Athens yesterday.
It was the occasion of the lecture by
district lecturer, J. R. Robbins, to the
Clarke county Alliance.
And a good speech it was too.
AMBITION.
Very few of the women in Pottstown
could nave told you, if suddenly question
ed, wb»l were their aims in lite. They
tried fmmday to day and lioui to hour 10
do their duty to husband, children, home
ami the church.
But Mis. Leper had one ambition, one
clearly defined purpose. It was, to be ad
mitted to the Smalley set. S ie probably
never put this desire into words, even to
herself, but it dominated her lite.
Now the Smalley clique did not by any
means comprise the most ecbolary or re
fined or bes; bred, nor even the wealthiest,
p-ople in Pottsiown. Their claim to
social distinction was b-<sed solely upon
the fact that they hW. lived in Poitstown
longer than their neightiors. Oatsi lera
wondered why anybody should stay in the
little smoky mill town who could get out
of it. But these people, simply because
they had lived for three generations in its
smoke and irrimo, held themselves haughti
ly aloof from later comers, whom they re
garded very much as the nobles of Saint
Germain did the canaille of Bonaparte’s
day.
Mrs. Leper was a new comer. She was
descended from a good old Revolutionary
family. H,r husband was a lawyer ot
ability; hts eloquence bad gained him a
reputation throughout the stale. He was
» man of mtigrity, of much distinction in
_ ... i manner and charecer; he was able to snp-

man.
order in the city council ball by Presi
dent George T Murrell of the esunty
Alliance there were
quite a number of
enthusiastic members of the order there
to greet the orator of the day with tre
mendous applause when introduced by
the president.
Mr Robbins begun by saying he was
not going to talk as a scientific man, or
a man away up in the mysteries of po
litical economy but was there to lecture
to farmers simply as a plain, practical
old hayseed farmer.
He then went on in a most graceful
manner to tell about the causes that
have brought the depression to the far
mer’s heart. He was not a bit easy on
the Wall street monopolist. He slashtd
up the National bank act right roughly
and roasted the opponents of the sub
treasury plan with telling rebuke, and
on this score he was applauded time and
time again..
NO SUB TREASURY BILL.
“But,” said he, “the Alliance has no
sub-treasury bill. That’s all stuff. We,
as an alliance have framed no bill. We
have a sub-treasury plan, but tbe Al
liance has uo sub-treasury bill. We
will trust our statesmeu in Congress to
frame th* bill.”
Lecturer Robbins is a man of ability
of an easy flow of words, and a witty
fellow with it all, He makes a clever
speech, uses some powerful arguments
in behalf of the Alliance, and all Alli-
ancemen should go to hear him when
ever he speaks. r
NOT FIGHTING DEMOCRACY.
Loper, coming to live in Pottsiown a
tew yeais after her marriage,felt herself to
be one of the cmailis.
Mrs. Smalley did not call upon h*r.
There were many other women in the
town outside of this exclusive ciicle. Mrs

who were w’bt lly occupied with charitable
and religions woik, and never .pent a
thought on their fashionable neighbors,
Mrs. Loper knew that she could find con
genial companions among any of these
people—in her secret soul she sneered at
little Mrs. Smalley’s ignorance and vulgar
pretentions—but she was wretched as Innf;
as that arbiter of society in Pi ttstown did
not call nor invito her to her receptions.
For, although the Smalley set was pro.

Poitstown that ibis absurd condition of

Mrs. Smalley appreciated to tbe full tbe
power which circumsta’ncis had* placed in
her hands. Her favor was not easily won

its normal high-water mark. A por

drive at Windsor is flooded. There is
an enormous gap in the bank of the
river Parrot, in Somersetshire, and
through this opening water is inundat

locality are already submerged to the
depth of four or five feet. The river
bunk suddenly collapsed, and a church
full of worshippers was surrounded by

dreamed out her future as a helpful
Christian wife and mother.
Her aims for ibe children were changed
now. B >b was kept away from school to
practice a part in tabl> aux and private the-
atricles, in which he appeared in a Din

soon learned that the obj-ct of her lite was
to dance, to sing, to appear in pretty new
gowns, to make herself conspicious among
the other children, in tbe hope that Ireue
Smalley wonld invite her to the Christmas
ball.
Tbeir father made a feeble protest.
•Our whole motive of iife is change

children are filled with tr fl s, Our boi

highest hope is to fit them tor the Smalley

She did not answer. The subject was
never broached between them again. Mr
Loper’s death a year later left be*r
wealthy widow with no restraint upon her
social ambition. She succeeded in ca-
ing a foothold in the fashionable circi
It was not secure, and she was perp- tualiy

“Castoria la an excellent medicine for chil
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its
good effect upon their children.”
Da. G. C. Osoood,
Lowell, Maas.
“ Castoria 1s the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in-
stead of the variounquack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves.”
