he would be otherwise.
The State pays mileage to the rep-,

very first question then is why do
the .railroads offer the legislators
passes? Now let Georgia do like
Carolina. Our legislators do not
need any free passes.
Mu, Springer Bald in speaking ol the
selection of Mr. Crisp :
‘The selection of Mb. Crisp will not
complicate the presidential contest. No
candidate for President will receive
any advantage or '"’isadvantage from it.
The National convention will be left
perfectly free to make the choice of our
candidate ninfluenced by the result of
the speakership contest. The Demo
cratic party is the party of the people
and not a party of combination.”

THE RICHMOND TERMINAL.
There seems to be no end of the
trouble that is brewing and has been
brewing in the camp of the Rich
mond Terminal Company lately.
Meeting after meeting has been
held, and yet there seems to be no
final settlement of disputes among
the directors. The Brice-Thomas
contingent seems to be on top just
now, and Mr. Inman, President of
the gigantic trust has nothing to say
further than his resignation is at the
disposal of the Directors whenever
they wish it.
Some time ago a committee was
appointed among the directors of the
Richmond Terminal tc examine the
books of the company to ascertain
how deeply in debt the concern is
involved. This committee has never
made any definite report that we
know of, and the affairs of the Ten.
minal seem still to be shrouded in
clouds of doubt and distrust.
The truth of what Thr Banner
has claimed all along seems to be
realizing more clearly every day, that
the West Point Terminal Company
bit off more than it could chew and
digest fairly. It seems that retribu«
tion is coming of its own prompting
in consequence of those illegal leases
and unfair methods employed by the
West Point Terminal Company to
bottle up the commercial and finan
cial freedom of the people of Georgia
and this part of the South.
After all, simple honesty pays bet
ter on the investment than does rail
road stock illegally manipulated,
But it is best to let things take their
course. If the West Point Terminal
Company is doomed to destruction
with all its illegal leases, why let the
punishment fit the crime.
The sooner the axe of the execu
tioner falls, the better, perhaps, for
the people.
WHY NOT ATHENS?
The Columbus Euquirer-Sun, one
of the most readable and ably edited
papers in Georgia wants the World's
Fair directors to select a lady from
the city of Columbns to represent
Georgia as one of the original thir
teen states of the Union on the open
ingday. That paper says:
A few days ago, in referring to the
decision of the Worlds Fair managers
to have each of the original thirteen
States of the Union represented at
the opening ceremonies of the Colum
bian Exposition by a ladyseleoted
from each of these Commenxwealths,
fitted by her beauty and lineage for
the place of honor, the Enquirer Sun
dwelt modestly, bat firmly, on the
superior claims of Colnmbns to sup-,
ply the demand that will be made on
Georgia. A number ot envious con
temporaries, published in the large
cities of the State, have boldly ap
propriated the article published in
this paper, and had the shocking
assurance to substitute in place of
Columbus the name of their own am
bitious bailiwicks.
The Colnmbns Enquirer-Sun does
not refer to the Banner in this charge.
The Banner has not overleaped the
bounds ot honesty and fair journalism
to use the Enquirer-Sun’s editorial
in this grossly unjust manner. Bat,
the Banner begs to suggest here and
now in all modesty and serious can
dor that Athens is the place to fur
nish this lady representative from
Georgia.
The number of families here whose
histories date back with prominent
events in the history ot the State of
Georgia is very large. Represents
lives from these historic families
well capable of adding lustre to the
name of Georgia on the opening day
of the World’s Fair are numerous.
Georgia would like tor Athens to
furnish the lady.
OUR NORMAL SCHOOL.
The organization ot the Georgia
Stale Normal School, to be conducted
out at Rock College in conjunction
with the State University, will be
greeted with genuine gratification
and delight throughout Georgia.
Georgia has long needed just such
an institution, where her teachers
< could be taught, how to teach.
The workings of this institution
will be felt at once in the common
school system of the State in sop
plying good teachers. Georgia’]
t greatest need to-day in the depart
ment of education is summed up in
the demand for more good teachesr.
The South is moving forward in this
matter. Georgia must keep up in
line with the great work.
Now let every loyal citizen of the
State do all that is for him to uo in
making this institution a grand sue
cess.
NO MORE FREE PASSES-
The South Carolina State legislaa
tore has passed a law providing that
no State officer, no member of the
State House of Representatives, and
no member of the Senate shall ao
cept a free pass from any railroad.
This is no bad law. The time has
come when a halt should be called to
this kind of business among the law
makers of the country. Georgia
Ijgbt follow South Carolina's exam
^to advantage.
It is all very well to talk about
the legislators being such high-toned,
honorable men as not to be influenced
by the possession of a railroad pass
to legislate favorably for the road
Iving the pass. This is doubtless
that ia meant by
"It goes without say-
not one of Georgia’s legis
lators would flagrantly betray his
Iges to a faithful constituency for

time superintendent of the Brunswick
public schools, has just been re-elected
to that responsible position. Branham

HOWTO CURE THE CRIP.
Now that it is stated upon good
authority that the grip has become
an epidemic here in Athens it
very interesting to know what is the
most feasible remedy for the disease.
Many of the physicians of the
country say there is no specific core
for the grip. They claim that it is
kind of little germ that poisons the
blood for the time, so to speak, but
state there is no special remedy for it.
The grip is not treated entirely
like the average every day cold
though such treatment often times
does temporary good. Quinine and
Dover’s powders make-the hold
the disease less tenacious, but all the
doctors agree that the best plan is
dress reasonably and seasonably and
avoid moch excitement, and physical
strain. Keep yonr room well venti
lated and do not stay out in
night. fy
These are a few pointers th^t are
given by the best physicians of the
city of Washington and they may
render Athenians some service.

WHY MILLS COT LEFT-
A great many opinions have been
advanced regarding the cause of Mr.
Mills’ defeat 'or the Speakership,
says the New Orleans States, and
among the latest is one from the
Chicago Herald to the effect that
Mr. Mills’ failure to win is attribn
table to his attitude toward the
World’s Fair and bis known opposii
tion to the $5,000,000 extra loan ask*
ed of the Government, which will be
considered during the present see*
siou of congress. We do not know
what position Mr. Mills has taken
on this matter, bat if it is trae that
he is opposed to the government fur-,
nishingany more money to a show
which is likely to be a failure owing
to the fact that the McKinley tariff
is acting as a bar to its success,
there will be a great many members
of congress who will support him.
The Republican Billion Dollar Con
gress emptied the Treasury of the
country, and it will be the policy of
the Democratic House to limit the

The Banner is pleased to note that
there has been an organization perfect
ed in Athena under the title of “The
Cobbbam -Garden Club.” This club
cannot have much to do with reforming
the tariff of the republic, but by rais
ing their home supplies and teaobing
the folly of over production of cotton
they can have much to do with with
raising the price of cotton.

Senator Mandersoa presided over the

tion of Senator Cullom, rale 84 (for ap
pointment of committees by ballot) was
suspended and a resolution was offered
by him for appointment of standing and
■elect committees.

ot Vance (not yet sworn in), the com
mittee places that were intended for
bias and that will be assigned to him ae

porarily aasigned to his aoUeagna (Ran

So, too, places on the committee that
weald be assigned to Mr. Hill of New
Task when he took hzs seat were tempo
rarily assigned to ether senators. That
would explain he aaid why so many
committee places were assigned to Mr.
Ransom and other democratic senators.
The resolution for the appointment
agreed to.
The president pro tem. laid before the
mate tho credentials of Senator-elect
Hill of New York, and they were read
and placed on file. Turpio then pro-
seeded to address the senate to support
of a joint resolution introduced by him
Dec. 10, proposing an amendment to the
constitution, providing for electing
United States senators by direct vote of
the people of the several states.
GEORGIA EXPERIMENTAL
STATION.
Only Fifteen Clarke County Farmers
Read the Reports.
There is .a law in Georgia which
makes it necessary to send for a report
of the Georgia Experimental Station if
farmer wants to read it.
This law was passed to prevent the
useless scattering of reports over the
State.
Recently Dr. Ed. Newton, of Athens,
wrote to Director R. J. Redding, of the
Experiment Station, asking how many
Clarke county farmers read these re
ports. Following is the reply to Dr.
Newton’s letter:
Dr. Edwin D. Newton—Dear
Sir: Your kind favor of the 9ih was
received during my several days ab
sence from office, 1 bavingjust returned
—your letter receiving my immediate
attention.
No, it is not necessary that a farmer
shall make a written or even personal
application in order to get the bulletin
He may write or apply personally and
verbally, or through any other person.
The idea of the law Beems io be simply
that the bulletins are not to be sent in
discriminately, or without an intimation
from the farmer that he desires them.
My mail list is not made up by coun
ties, or by post offices, but I have run
my eye over the list of farmers in Geor
gia and find that there are some twelve
or fifteen Clarke county recipients of
bulletin.
will be obliged if you will make out
and send such a list as you suggest, and
which you are fully authorized to ao.
With high regards,
R. T. Redding, Director.
It seems a pity that the farmers do
not take more interest in this institu
tion.
Why doesn’t each Alliance send the
names of its members and piomineni
farmers for these reports which are
sent free as a gracious gift X

The Death of tho New Orleans
Soar Fire Department.
New Orleans, Dec. 17 —The bells
rang out the death of the New Orleans
volunteer fire department, the oldest in
the country and the last of the great
volunteer system, and New Orleans will
in the future depend en a paid system
like other cities. The volunteer depart
ment was sixty-five years old, having
been organized in 1825. Daring this
time, while a purely volunteer system
and independent of the city govern
ment, the association had sole and ex
clusive charge of the extinguishment of
all fires. The city contracted with it
to do this for $190,000 annually. The
firemen owned all their fire parapherna
lia, engines, hose, horses, engine houses
etc., which have been sold to the city
for the new paid department. It had
besides this other valuable property
and closes its official career with several
hundred thousand dollars to Us credit.
Although the department will hare
nothing more to do with the extinguish
ment of fires, it will keep np its organ
ization as a charitable and social body,
and its large resources will be need for
the support of the widows and orphans
of members and for the payment of in
surances as the latter drop off. The
four branches had thirty-six engines
and some five thousand actual and ex
empt members. •''The chan go from the
volunteer ta the paid fire department
has been recommended for soma time by
