rHE ATHENS BANNE'ft; TUESDAY VIOK.N VNO, NOVEMBER T 1891 Be A TRUSTEE SPEAKS- Editor Stovall’s pen is brougbi into action again on the history qnee*= He reviews tho question at length, and closes with the following, which coming from a trustee of the Univer sity* will be interesting reading : “ The objectionable parts recently emphasized in the prt «s have already been noted by the prudential board at Athens. The fact that they sanc tioned its temporary continuance shows the confidence they have in the personal views and sympathies of the professor, Dr. J. H T. McPher son. When the man is all right it dousn’t matter so much about the book. ,. ’ “The Chronicle condemns certain, passages of Johnston’s History es much as any ionrnal in Georgia. We are as jealous of the matter put into the minds of- Southern yonth an any paper in Georgia. We do not commend the history although we have full faith in the preceptor; We regard Johnston’s History as sn expedient for the term until Dr. McPherson shall fully organize his chair and another text can be ob tained. Then we should favor its DISCONTINUANCE AT AS EARLY A DATE AS POSSIBLE.” The only difference between ns now, brother Stovall, is that we want the history damped overboard now, and vou wish it' discarded a little ATHENS AHEAD OF ANY CITY The People ]"d the City and Surrounding Counties will congratulate themselves w tisement.

Le'< everybody go £o church to day. Athens bears the enviable name of being populated by people who are as a class faithful church goers. Oar hnmble temples to .the great Jehovah are filled from Sabbath to Sabbath with congregations such as would shame with overpowering numbers much more splendid churches in larger churches. This is not spokes in a spirit of criticism upon any special chnrches in order to compliment the church goers of Athens. It is spoken frankly. ’Tie but the simple truth. It is our belief that the churches of Athens have larger congregations each Sunday now than they have ever had before, \ There seems to ns to -be a warmer interest among these several congregations than is to be found in the chnrches of most cities - the size of Athens./There may not be, bnt there seems to be. There ought to be if there is not There is an air of interests that hovers over each Athens congregations these bright autumn Sabbaths that is pleasing in the extreme; so happy, so gentle, so solemn and so good. Sfirely Athens is one fair spot on this earth upon which the approving smile of Heaven beams down a peace ful benediction. So let us all go out to hear the teachings of God’s Bible this day! 25 lbs Standard Granulated Sugar for $1 00.

Street, .ATHENS, GA- GEORGIA WEEKLIES- If there is one thing which serves to characterize Georgia the Empire State of the South more than any other one thing it is the superiority of her newspapers Taken in a gen eral view the newspapers of Georgia are far ahead of the press of any other Southern State, both as regards editorial strength and business en terprise. — . . But especially is Georgia far ahead fU ‘ of her sister States in the comparison of weekly newspapers. Georgia has more bright weekly papers, we can° didly believe, than any State in the Union, and•< what is better tbey are all well patronized. This shows on its very face that the people of Geor gia as a class are not at all the illit erate “Crackers” that they have been *• cracked” np to be. The truth is the people of Georgia are a reading, thinking people. They Are growing more and more enlightened each day of their lives, and who can deny that the weekly press of the State, reach , ing every home from the mountains to the seaboard, is having more to do with it than hhy other factor ? -2 year. Now, let the farmers go about the ex ecution of this plan with firm determi nation to carry it out. Let them plant less cotton and more corn and wheat and oats. Pretty little Ruth will soon be large enough and old enough to bounce and then Grover will stay at home from po litical caucuses est, sober criticism of Johnston’s) willYwva what they make on their cot History of the United States, now ton as “clear money” at the end of the used as a text book in the University of Georgia. This criticism was not $he outcome of a hot-headed im pulse. It was done after sober thought, after conversation with the Chancellor of the University and with several members of the faculty, all acknowledging the objectionable features of the hook. These con** versations were toned with nothing else than friendliness for the college, for the professors, for the trustees aud for every student on the campus There was .no “meddling” spirit ip our course and the faculty know it On the contrary, Chancellor Boggs recognizing the friendliness -of onr inquiry about the use of a partisan history in the college said he would look into this matter, and professor asked ns to The_ land company has done some great work out on our western suburbs and will do more.

We promised to do so, and we faithfully kept that promise until he looked into this mat ter. Does this convict us of “med* dUng” and of ‘-mischief making? D >es it not on the contrary show that we have gone out of our way to be considerate and thoughtful of the faculty? . How unjust is the echo that comes from “meddling”; “mischief mak« ing”; “What is to be gained?” etc. The idea of oonnecting the word “gain” with upholding right and condemning wrong is not our meth.- od. Such an idea has been hatched only among those few who sanction the use of this partisan text book Asking, the question “what -is to be gained?” does not excuse the wrong of which criticism is made. Let the people of Georgia, who own the University, answer. Does it? Let us preaoh up Athens to every stranger that comes within our gates. ^1 I Chiu threatens to make the eagle squeal, Oh, come off; Chili I Athens is the best city in America— do you doubt it? PAT’S GREAT WONDER. We are surrounded by -dangers all the way from the cradle to the grave. “The great wonder is,” as Pat says, •‘that after getting out of our cradle, we live long enough to reach our grave.” Thousands are out of health —morose, morbid and miserable, be cause they do not avail themselves of the remedy within easy reaSh of them. Dr Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery would cure them. For all chronic or lingering Cough, Weak Lungs, Spitting of Blood, Bron chitis, Shortness of Breath, Asthma aud kindred ailments, it is a most potent remedy. It cleanses the bleod , invig orates the liver, improves digestion, and builds up both flesh and strength. Dose small and pleasant to taste. Large bottle, one dollar. Of all druggists. REDUCING THEIR ACREAGE* WHAT Is TO BE GAINED ? The farmers of Georgia will hereafter If a newspaper has one purpose to P lant less cotton, carry out; one duty to perform to] This is a wise step, for more reasons the public as a public servant; one than 0ne * In lhe flrst place the priee mission on earth among men, surely it is to uphold right aud condemn wrong. Wkenever a newspaper dares to do this with the sincerity of pur pose that is necessary to uphold the right, it surely can condemn the wrong without apology to man. Such principles and faith as this have been the sole motive that has controlled Tux Banneb in its hon or cotton will go up as a natural result, the supply being cut short aud the de mand increased. Hence the farmers will make as much • money on a smaller acreage of cotton without the labor. It will furthermore enable them to evote more laud and time to the rais ing of their own supplies. They will thus have to pay out no money for provi&iona.

Habmony Guovk, Gaj,Oc: 31.— {Sp<-wal.]—Prof. Jobn Hawkins, a prominent pedagogue of Apple Valley, is in town today. Mr. Tom Alexander, a prosperous planter of Bold Spring, returned last night from the Piedmont Exposition. The Northeastern Banking Company and Di. E F. Adair have bad splendid pavements laid in front of their re spective placisof business. There were a great many farmers in the. Grove yesterday trading and sell ing cotton. It is really surprising how far the farmers will haul their cotton in order to get the good prices which our merchants pay. Farmers from near Toccoa, from beyond Madison Springs and from below Nicholson bring their Cotton here for sale rather than haul it to nearer, larger but lower markets sion however, about shopping at either I hotel or any particular boarding bouse, i As to the class of men being treated, 1 1 do not believe that there is any plan on the faoo of the earth where there is more talent than in Dwight.

McCurry, Esq , has moved his “ffli-e to Clayton strict up stairs over W i udsor Shoe Store, next room to Dr. Goss. The story in yesterday’s Banner about the cure of drunkenness in a man who has been a sot since the war was read by everybody and was talked about on every Conner during the day. This new discovery o: curing drunk enness is wonderful, and no mote in teresting reading could be found just now than that along this line. The institution at Dwight,Illinois, at which patients are cured of drunkenness must surely be an interesting- place. The man who was quoted yesterday, telling about the cure of drunkenness ac this place has written a full description of some of the Institute and us methods He says: When men are sick or too weak from any course to be able to come to the Institute, the assistant physicians four of whom are reformed drunkards them selves and who are skilled in their pro fessions, gentlemanly, and courteous men, attend them at their respective boarding houses, as also all of the lady patients, the majority of whom are morphine fiends, but a few of them are set down as whiskiyites. The number of lady patients when I left was eighty. One, reason for compelling all to report promptly at the Institute is that tnese six physicians would be unable to treat seven hundred or more in any other mauner daily as they do. One of these assLtants is a Dr. Blaine,a cousin as he told me of our iSec’r. of State,-J. G Blaine, a most excellent gentleman as 1 have reason to know, as he waited upon me in an attack of asti-ma brought about by a very sudden change in the weather, after I had taken a hot bath, one of the regulations to he observed by all puticiits. Another regulation of the institution is tbat all patients are ri quired to make a deposit with the Trtasurer of their money, taking a receipt therefor and drawing against it for the immediate needs. And if a man has a real big ••jag” or he is deprived of his pocket k ite or-anything with which he could by any possibilities inflict damage while tryinv to red-paint town. All such cases are handed over to trusted attendants who are employid t iere all the time for such cases and otlu-rs that are sick. They take kindly care of them, deal out their whi«key at proper intervals and proper quantities and see that they t*»ke tLeir medicine regularly, until eh tim<- that they may be able to take care of themselves. There ar.- a great many amusing things that occur there esp*daily after lhe arrival of a “Jag train,” put this paper is already beconi- too lengtny for your readers patience. With the exception of being rt quired to to follow the rules laid down as to treatment every one is as Ireo in In actions as if he were at home There are a great many boarding houses in the place, together with five or six hotels, where board can bv bad for from five to eight dollais pet week.

The terms of treatment in all cases is $25.- 00 per week and three weeks is the shortest time in which they will guar antee a cure. It frequently takes four weeks or longer, when there are other diseases to over come. A man may be ashamed of having to go to Dwight for his own benefit anl . some do arrive there in a very sensitive mood. But no man after treatment is ever ashamed at ever having been there. As for myself, ■ I am sa* islied that I have been cured aud permanently cured and because I want others to go there an i be cured, 1 am not ashamed to sign my Dame to this article, in ordei that it may carry such weight as it deserves with those who know me and know oi my past disipated course. I think it a great deal more creditable in any man to go to such a place in order that he , is certainly building may have himself cuied of a disease which i3 worse than death itself, than to be staggering around iu his commu nity a nuisance, not only to his own family and friends, but to the commu nity at large dead by any means. .
