IHE ATHENS BANNER: TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 10,1891
THE ELECTIONS’ LESSONS.
If there is one lessen to be learned
from the recent elections by Demo
crats it is this : Nominate men who

every farmer in the South knows it
of the masses and make tariff reform
the chief issue.
Of couxee it would have been haid
to beat MoKinley in Ohio. Ohio has
a conceded Republican majority of
20,000 and what Campbell did to
wards breaking that solid Republi
can phalanx is all that any Demo
crat could have done. His defeat is
almost a victory for this reason.
But, it is clear that McKinley could
have carried the Buckeye State by a
much larger majority if his high
tariff doctrines had not injured him
among the farming classes.
Tariff reform is the key to Demo
cratic success and musVbe made the
ohlef issue in the National campaign
that is drawing nigh at hand. Ot
course there are other issues which
the Democratic party must tack on
Its platform, and among them is the
free coinage of silver. The farmers

such a measure and the whole part}
must harmonise on this demand.
This can easily be done and a mea

log-rolled through the 52d congress
But if the Democracy fails to makt
tariff reform the main spring th<
machine will clog and all will b«
lost, the reins of the government
falling again into the hands of th<
Republicans.
The Eastern Democracy shows up
in these late elections with admira
ble gains, and everybody knows thai
the prime faotor in this glorious vie-

tional Democracy take notice and dc

We are glad to know that a large
acreage of small grain will be sown
down in Oglethorpe, and we trust
that a good rainy season will very
soon come to give the farmers all
over the South a chance to let the
good work of planting go on. The
farmers of Georgia are learning at
last to live at home. They could not
live in a better land than this and it
is a sad eulogy upon onr fair and fer
tile fields to nave onr farming people
sending West for their bread and
their meat.. Ever since the war this
has been practiced in the South. It
has been truly said:
« We live to learn, yet eloxaly learn to live.”
Let us hope the lesson has been
learned at last, and bid the tillers of
the soil ‘‘Godspeed” in their deter
mination to plant a larger acreage of
wheat and oats, and less cotton.

SHEEP KILLING DOGS.
The only way to prevent dogs from
killing sheep when they once corn
tract the habit, says a writer in the
New York World, is to pen the sheep
up nights where the dogs cannot get
to them, or to kill the dogs. There
is no use in setting np white-sheeted
dummies in the sheep pasture or
potting a bell on the big wether with
the expectation of frightening such
dogs from their raids on the sheep
when they set out to have one. Their
attacks are almost invariably made
in the night, and an old sheep-kill
ing dog will generally go a mile o
more from home to join other doge
ot hia class. He will return homt
before daylight and wear such an
honest lock the next day that no
amount of circumstantial evidence
can convince his owner that he was
one of the dogs that£killed and woun»

Young dogs, if raised on a farm
where sheep are kept, if they are
sufficiently fed, and are scolded or
whipped whenever they ran after

come sheep-killers until they learn
j the.habit from doga that have been
suffered to run at large at their will.
| About the best advice that can be
i given to a man who wants to raise
sheep in a locality where dog*
abound, is to fence in an area large
enough to accommodate bis flock in
such a way tbat dogs cannot scale it
This can be done at a small expense
by using boards for the bottom and
two or three courses of barbed wire* I
fence for the top, in which case it
need not be very high. This will re
quire the sheep to be shut in every
| Blffht; but they oan soon be made to j
come at call, so that the trouble will
not be great.
will COTTON GO UP?
It is an interesting question just
now, will cotton go up ?
The market, this fall has not beer
what was promised, the price having
been low from the very start. This
is easily explained. There was
over-production last year, and most
of it was held back unwisely until
late id the season.
So far this year the price has, as a’
natural consequence, been at a low
ebb.
Believing that they were profiting
by last year’s experience many cot
ton farmers have rushed their cotton
into market this year early. This
has made the sales greater than they
were last year at this time, although
there is not near as mnch cotton
raised this year as was last year.
The fair weather has also done much
towards bringing the crop to market
early.
When all of this subsides, cotton
men say it is natural to suppose tbat
the demand will be felt more keenly
and the price of cotton will go np
After all, the price of cotton is gov
erned by the legitimate basis of sop
ply and demand, and the pnee will
depend npou this fluctuation.
P. A- STOVALL.
It is now a given ont fact that
Editor Pleasant A. Stovall, ot the
Augusta Chronicle, has resigned the
office of managing editor of that pa
per and will go to Savannah to re
establish the Savannah Times.
Editor Stovall is one of the ablest
and brightest editors on the Georgia
press, and the Chronicle doubtless
regrets to lose him. He has done
great work in Augusta, and the peo
ple know it.
Editor Stovall will be a great ac
qnisition to the afternoon press and
to Southern joornalism. He is ad
mired very generally in Georgia for
hia ability, bnt nowhere more than

THEY HAVE NO SYMPATHY WITH RE
PUBUCANISM.
It is a clear and undisputed fact
that appears upon the field of poli
tics that the democracy has an open
field now for a clean sweep in 1892
You can hear, however, now and
then some talk about the Alliance
going into the third party and divi
ding the democracy. This is the
merest nonsense. The Alliance has
no more idea of going into a third
party than it has being ultimately
defeated in its desires for relief.
The Alliance in the South consti
tutes a majority of the democratic
party. Its members come forward
and present the Ocala platform as
embodying their views and their de
mands.
Is there anything undemocratic it
those demands? If there is the A1
liance in the Sooth is ready to anb
mit them to the scrutiny of the
National Democratic convention
which it will form a part and parcel
and if that body refuses to put then-
planks in the national platform, their
will be no bolting the party on their
part.
Is the snbtreaaury plan undemo
cratic? A greal|many thinks it is,
while the Alliance think it is sound
doctrine. “However,” says thai
organization* * if that is deemed un
democratic by the national conven
tion, rll we ask is that you-, give us
something better.”
The demands are fair and there is
absolutely no danger of Alliancemen
in the South pulling away from the
democratic ranks.
As it was in the past and is now,
so will be in 1892 and in the future;
—the South is solid for Democracy
and will remain so to the end.
Shoulder to shoulder the southern
merchant and farmer and mechanic
will march in the ranks that oppose
monopoly and trust and oppres
sion.
Their aim is one; there desires are
one; their fight is one; and their vie
tory will be one.
The Alliancemen of Georgia and
the South have no sympathy with
republicanism and they are going to
help wield the ponderous battle-ax
of democracy wi>h which to sever iht
bead of this Gorgon monster.

And a pretty lively battle it promi

Brown or Tack—which will it be?
Well, no one can exactly tell. It wiil
be announced shortly after four o’clock
on the afternoon of November 25th.
It is such a close race between these
two popular young men. and it is like
drawing straws to say which one will
win.
The election thus far has been
a very quiet one, although at one time
it seemed as if the candidates might
mount the hustings.
The old political propnets are mt
saying mnch on the subject. They are
afraid to risk their reputation on it.
The candidates are out on a still
hunt, and the political pot is just begir-
ning to simmer.
In the aldermanic races all is very
quiet. The different wards have beeu
pretty thoroughly canvassed and the
election pretty well settled.

THE NEW SCHOOLS
Will Probably Open on New Year.
It is universally conceded that coun
cil did a wise thing in establishing two
schools in the first ward.
ADd now tbat body has turned its
attention to the question of erecting
and equipping those schools at as early
a date as possible.
It is hoped that the Talmadge
house on Ocouee street can he
put in a suitable condition by
January 1st, so that the Oconee street
school may be abolished and removed to
the new place.
Then again the Baxter street school
will be tutuedinto a school for whites
just aa soon as the schools for negroes
are finished.
Then the council having accepted the
lot donated bo Mr. Bloomfield, will
erect a commodious Bchool building for
whites in East Athens at an early
date.
And tbur. the Athens school system
progresses.
