The Extension of the Blue KIdge and

Road for Athens to Look For.
Certain baking powder makers are publishing falsified extracts from the
Government reports, with pretended analyses and certificates, wherein an
attempt is made to compare their baking powders with the “Royal,” or
making bogus tests from house to house, their obvious purpose being to
counteract the recent exposures of the inferiority of their own goods arising
from their impurity, low strength, and lack of keeping qualities as shown
by the Government' chemists and others.
As to whether any- of these baking powders are
equal to the “Royal,” the official tests clearly deter
mine. When samples of various baking powders were
purchased from the grocers, and analyzed by the United
States Government Chemists and the Chemists of State
and City Boards of Health, the reports revealed the fact
that the “Royal” contained from 28 per cent to 60 per
cent, more leavening strength than any other cream of
tartar baking powder, and also that it was more perfectly
made, of purer ingredients, and altogether wholesome.
As these powders are sold to consumers at the same price, by the use
of the Royal Baking Powder there is an average saving of over one third,
besides the advantage of assured purity and wholesomeness of food, and of
bread, biscuit, and cake made perfectly light, sweet, and palatable—advan
tages not to be had in the use of the low-grade, cheaply made baking pow
ders that contain lime, alum, and other impurities.

Mr. H. W. Cannon, president of the

Washington, Jan. 1. — President
Montt of Chili has selected his cabinet,
and every one of them have, of course,
accepted, and they have all been sworn
in. Chili is now able to do business as
a properly organized republic.
The question now arises, will Minis
ter Eagan longer protect insurgents that
have been under his care? Senator Car
lisle and other real statesmen say that
they should now be turned over to the
organized authorities.
Minister Montt has delivered a dis
patch from Chili to Mr. Blaine, which
exterminates Chili’s offense and goes to
show that the government is willing to
pnnish guilty partite and make proper
reparation.
The Herald publishes in full for the
first time, Chili's side of the correspon
dence. This correspondence affirms
that the Valparaiso difficulty occurred
in the worst quarter of the city, through
an irrepressible mob, that all possible
effort was made to quell, and that Chili
is and has always been anxious to See
justice done.

HAPPENINGS THE WORLO GVER.
The reported sale of the A ngusta and
Chattanooga Railroad charter and fran
chises to the Seaboard Air Line has kept
the people talking for a week, and a
great deal of valuable thought has been
given the subject of bow to get direct
western connection with railroad lines
from tbis city.
A citizen was talking yesterday on
this subject. Said be: “In my hum
ble judgment, if Athens wishes a road
through to the west the best route is
by the extension of ' the
Blue Ridge and Atlantic to Knoxville.
Tbis will be done by one of two roads
when they see that the people of this
section mean business.
“The Air Line or Richmond and
Danville system can easily finish it
through and thereby make a continuous
line from Athens to Knoxville, or the
Georgia, Carolina and Northern, if it
wishes to seek such an outlet can get it
by going over the.Elberton and Air
Line, Blue Ridge and
Atlantic and on to Knoxville. Under
stand me not as being opposed to the
building of the Augusta & Chattanoo
ga, but as believing that the extension
of the Bine Ridge and Atlantic is a
more feasible plan.
“Do yon want to know wbat such a
movement means for Athens? It sim
ply means the cost of coal here will be
reduced at least two dollars per ton,
and tbat in pursuance of such a change,
small manufactories will readily avail
themselyes of onr splendid facilities,
and after all these are the most potent
factors in the upbuilding of a city,
The leaven is working and before
long we will have a western outlet at
Knoxville, Chattanooga or some other
point.

THE FIRMS CHANGE
And Start out the New Year Differ
ently.
The New Year always brings to the
people of a city many and varied chang
es in business and mercantile .ife
Athens is no cariosity in tbis line and
already the changes are commencing to
be made.
The firm of Griffetb, Whitehead
Co. has been dissolved and re-organ
ized. Messrs. W. J. Whitehead and
W. G Carithers retire from the firm
and it now stands, F. P. and R. S,
Griffeth. The business of the
new firm will be
conducted at the old place on Clayton
street.
Another change In a grocery firm is
that of Lowe & Elder. Col. Lowe, on
account of failing health, has deter
mined to go out of business and accord
ingly ba3 sold his interest in the store
to Mr. A- G Elder, who continues to

Many other changes may take place
in the next thirty days. January is the
month of resolutions and changes.

The above gentlemen having engaged

Splendid Industry-
Athcns gains another important in
dustry with the opening of the New
Year.
It will be a manufactory of carriage
fixtures and-will be located probably on
one oi the best manufacturing sites in
the city.
Mr. G. A. Stafford, of St. Louis, has
been in the city for several
days, but was kept in his
in his room at the Hotel Toomer on ac
count of injuries received in a fall from
train in Tennessee a few days since.

trade for the land upon which to erect
his manufactory, but bring unable to
do so returns borne this morning and

The company will be kuown as the
Spillman-Staflord Company, and now
has a plant in Sheldon, Tenn. Tbis
place does not suit this company
and they propose to remove it
to Athens and in addition
to make tbis their home, bringing their
families with them.
A Banner reporter talk with Mr
Stafford yesterday and found him to be
a most agreeable and courteous gentle
man.
“Yes,” said ho,” we have determined
to erect onr manufactory in Athens.
We have about closed the trade for the
land and to start the new buildings in
few weeks.We will have two buildings;
one erected of brick to be 90x48 feet and
two stories in height; the other a frame
building, 48x28 feet to be two stories
high; and in addition to these all our
lumher sheds and storage rooms.”
“We have some elegant machinery

Want the Frigate President at the
World’s Fair-
New York, Jan. 1—The proposition
to have the old ship President, which
was captured from the United States
by the British in the war of 1812. trans
ferred to Chicago for the Columbian
Exposition, is very generally approved
by the officers of the navy so far as its
sentiment goes, but the idea is hardly
practical -The old ship now lies in the
West India deck near London,
and although she makes
an excellent ship for the nominal
headquarter* of British naval officers
whoare assigned to duty in London and
an excellent drill ship as well, she is
totally unable, because of her advanced
age, to cross the Atlantic, it has been
urged that the President could be
“boxed” by some means not yet de
scribed, and sent across in something
like the way the Central Park obelisk
was shipped from Egypt, but this done,
she is far too large to be sent through
the Wellard Canal, so, then, on the
whole the schcm<», al-hough a graceful
and becoming one, is thougLt to be im
practicable.
Th*- ides, in a general way, meets
with approval of British officers, who
see in it a fitting opportunity to recog
nize the cenerous conduct of the Amer
icans in returning to the English gov
ernment the Resolute, which was recov
ered by the American officers after
England had lost her in the Artie. But
the obstacles mentioned are regarded
as well nigh insuperable, so it is proba
ble that the namesake of this one of
America’s most famous ships of war
will remain where she now lies.
The old ship President had a history
second to none in her days. Even the
Constitution cannot lay claim to as
many captures as those made by the
President In the war of 1812, until
her capture in 1815, she went every
where and performed feats of the most
extraordinary valor There was lots of
fighting then, and the President, with
her forty-four guns and 400 men, was
the terror of the seas.

It is a very agreeable termination to
the whole affair as it would never have
