THE NEW COUNCIL* Yesterday the old Council laid down its work and the new Council grasped tLe reins of government. The retiring officers h&ve all made splendid records and the citizens of Athens have reason to congratulate themselves, on having had such able officers. Mayor Brown has made Athens a most exemplary Mayor ; his work has been arduous but well done ; and the people have nothing bat praises for him. And this statement is equally applicable to the retiring Al dermen. The new Conncil takes charge with many perplexed questions in front of them and it will require much hard labor and thought on their part to solve them successfully. But they are men of sound con servative business judgment, and all are working for the good of Athens as they conceive it. The record of the city government for 1892 should be as bright as that for 1891, and we believe the present Council will come up to the full ex pectations of their friends. BODY GUARDS FOR RICH MEN. The immediate result of the at tempt of the bomb thrower to extin guish Mr. Sage has been to change the habits of rich men m New York. They are no longer as accessible as before. They have quietly adopted means by which they can protect themselves from cranks and insane ■men and highwaymen of all sorts. They imitate the Czar by travelling with a body guard, and they are-said to feel that, wherever they go, they mqst be on their watch against the assassin, in whatever form he may turn up. This is no longer a free country, and the man who is best able to purchase bis freedom and en s joy life is be who must live under restrictions and seclnde himself more or less from the society of his fel** lows. PRICES AND WAGES. The whole argument for protection rests on the statement that the only way to produce cheaply is to reduce wages, says the Louisville Courier- Journal. “ Reduce the tariff,” say the pro tected manufacturers, “and we will get even by a reduction of wages, for you must admit that if we compete with Europe we must reduce Amer- can wages to the European level.” Examine this argument in any way and see how false and fallacious it is. In the first place wages constitute only one part, generally one-fourth part, of the cost of an article. In the next place the labor item varies in amount with the efficiency of labor. That is, a good workman -will make more yards of cloth per day than a poor one. He is entitled to higher wages. But his higher wages do not increase the cost ol the article ; they aotnally lower it. Protective tariff men are always “* pointing with pride” to the fact that while goods are cheaper in America to-day than in 1860, wages - are higher. lhat is true. Prices have steadily gone down, but wages have steadily gone up, the world over, for the past one hundred years. This-fact overthrows a cart load of theory about wages controlling the price; it is only one element, and a variable and unimportant element in the price. Where wages are highest, exclu sion America, prices are lowest. 7- . ause we command efficient la in ly by high wages, and further, high wages if we use st paV lachinery. improve our machinery we [Hire a higher order of intelligence it. For this intelligence psy. The result is better lines, better mechanics, better wages per mao, larger product and a smaller proportion of wages to pro duct. This is the history of mechanical invention the world over. The most highly organized ^mechanism will prodnee with best’ effect; but the men back of the mechanism will be worth more and get more. Indeed intelligent observers accept as an axiom this statement: High wages are essential to cheap production. Down with the robber tariff ! -Editorial Comment Thw Republicans of Ohio are nearer a condition of disruption now than they have ever been before. The party in that State has always been close corpor ation, but the contest now raging at Columbus is au indication that the au tocratic control of the party by a few of its old anti-slavery leaders is gone. The fracaB at Columbus is not without its lessons. The available money in the Treasury January 1, 1890, is lower than it has' been before under this Administration —that is, it is lower than it has been in this generation. Deducting the Na tional Bank Note fund, used to hide the deficit, the cash lacks over $20,000,000 of bai&ucing. If the house is as anxious to cut down appropriations as it ought to be, it will begin by puttingthe responsibil ity yon the Appropriations committee.in* stead of dividing-it around until no one has enough to be visible without a mi croscope. If there are any scores to be settled from the speakership contest, let the people settle them. The democrats of this house must close up and work for tariff reform, settling scores only with those who get in the way of tariff reform work. The appointment of committees by the Mayor is a splendid one and insures success in the management of commit tee work on the council for the year that is ahead of them. The report of the Sanitary Inspector for 1891 shows Athens to be a remarka bly healthy place. But it will not show up so well for 1892, if the water works question is not settled soon. If the sumfner arrives and finds Ath ens witnout an adequate water supply, you can put it down as absolute Gospel truth that there will be tp ^fipldemic of sickness here that will hteStaftsUing in its consequences.

UP ITS BUSINESS AND THEN ADJOURNS., Tho Resolutions Passed by the Coun cil Complimenting Mayor Brown. —Some Important Sugges tions to the New Council. The old Council has adjourned sine die. At ten o’clock yesterday morning it was called together at the Council Chamber by his honor Mayor E. T. Brown, and in that business manner that has always characterized it proceeded to wind up its business for the year and make room for its succes sor. The terms of Messrs. E.R Hodgson and R. B. Russell having expired as members of the Board of Education, the were unanimously re-elected to those offices. 8TREBT WORK FOB THE YKAR. The report of the street committee was full of interest as was also that of the Street Commissioner that accompa nied it. It showed that duripg the year the sum of $18,496.43 bad been spent in street improvement, and that of this amount the sum of $3,369 had been ex pended on sidewalks. Nearly every street has been worked during the past year. Of the amount spent in other directions, $3,200 went towards grading Barber street, $966 for the Boulevard, aod $1,062.50 for Trail Creek bridge. During the year there have been laid thp^p and a half miles of sidewalk pave- •This shows up well for the work of the* street committee. - THE POLICE COMMITTEE. The"committee on police reported fa vorably to re-imburse Capt. Oliver for the loss of his horse in the service of the city. They also reported plans for .the building of a new calaboose and file department hall. The plans were drawn by the street commissioner and were referied over to the new commit tee to discuss them. CONCERNING LIGHTS. Alderman Talmadge, Chairman of the committee on lights reported that dur ing the last sixty days the lights have been giving the utmost satisfaction. THBFIBE DEPARTMENT, Alderman McDowell reported the fire department in good order and that it deserved praise from one and all. The department during the year has responded to thirty alarms and has done good service. ~ The committee o r fire alarfhs report ed everything in good ehape. AS TO SCHOOLS. Alderman Hodgson, as Chairman of the committee on public schools, report ed the school building in Brooklyn al most completed, and the -school build ing in East Athens as about ready to be started. PUBLIC PROPERTY. The committee on public property re ported that a bid had been received to rent the Herrington property, and thiB matter was passed over to the new Council for settlement. REPORTS READ. The report of the Clerk of Council was read and listened to with great in terest. Its general make up reflected great credit upon the Clerk, Judge A. L. Mitchell. The report of Sanitary Inspector Orr was read, and will be found in another column. The report of Capt. D. C. Oliver as Chief of Police showed that during the year there had been 370 cases docketed and 337 arrests made. Of these 131 were against white males, 173 against colored males, and 66 against colored females. The flues imposed amounted to $3,113.55; the fines collected were $2,133.90; the fines worked out on streets were $584; the balance are now on appeal. COMPLIMENTING MAYOR BROWN. The time waB drawing near for the closing scenes when Alderman Rucker arose and in behalf of the Council offer ed the following resolutions: Resolved, 1st, That this Council re turn its sincere thanks to -its Mayor, the Hon. E T. Brown, for the faithful and impartial manner in which he has discharged the duties of his office, - Resolved, 2nd, That the members of this Council return their thanks for the unifurm coutesies extended by him- to each and every member of this body. B-solved, 3rd, That in severing our connection with him we tender him our best wishes for his happiness and pros perity in all his undertakings. These resolutions were adopted by a rising vote. . Mayor Brown arose and replied in Bubs’ance as follows: I am very much touched by these resolutions, I did not expect them, and can only say that I doubt if any man ever served with a body of officers under connections more cordial than that of the Mayor and two Councils over which he has presided I return eaoh sentiment conveyed in the resolutions to the members of this Council, and I think I can say that af fairs were never left in better shape than now. We can point with pride to the inauguration of many improvements that have been made and that without raising the tax rate one mill. In returning the commission given me by my people two years' ago, I do so with the full cOnscionsness of having fully performed my^luty. Mayor Brown also referred in high praise to the worth ot the late Clerk, Mr. W. A. Gilleland. Mayor Tuck and Aldermen O’Farrell, Gerdine, Cohen and S th were then sworn in, and the old Council stood ad journed sine die. At the Georgih Depot.—The elec tion of Mr. B. O. W. Rose as a member of the police rendered the position of night watchman at the Georgia depot vacant. Mr. Charley Bell has been ap- po nted to fill that place.

RING IN THE NEW” MAYOR TUCK AND THE NEW AL DERMEN ARE SWORN IN. Salaries Fixed. Officers Elected, Com mittees Appointed and Busi ness Started upon with a Rush. As the bands of the clock pointed to twelve Mayor 'luck and Aldermen O’Farrell. Gerdine, Smith and Cohen were sworn in. Aod the new Couacil commenced on its work. Mayor Tuck presided with grace and dignity, and the new Aldermen all felt at home. SALARIES FIX kD. •~The first question before the new Council was the fixing of salaries. The salaries of the Mayor and Clerk were left at $1200 and $1800 respective ly* Mr. Talmadge moved to increase the salary of the Ciiy Attorney to $900 which was debated and passed by a vote of 5 to 3. The salaries of the Chief of Police and the regular policemen were left at the old figures. TheBalary of the night watchman was next taken up and a motion made to increase it five dollars per month. This met opposition and the motion was withdrawn. The salaries of Sanitary, Inspector, Street Commissioner, Suprintendent street hands, and meat inspector were left at the old figures. Thesalaries for real estate assessors each. Alderman Hodgson make it $75,and made a strong speech m favor of retrenchment. Al derman Smith seconded it with the same sentiments. On the vote to make it$75, the ayes were were; Smith, Hodgson, Talmadge and Cohen; the nays were, O’Farrell, Gerdine, Dorsey and -Booth. There being a tie vote,'Mayor Tuck voted no, and the salaries were left at $100. The fire department came up next and Alderman Dorsey moved to in crease salaries as follows: Chief ten dollars more per month, and men five dollars each. Alderman. Hodgson again opposed the motion but 'finally moved to increase five dollars each, which was carried. _ . Then came the fixing of Aldermen’s salaries.- On motion of Alderman Tal madge, seconded by Alderman Smith, the salaries were cut off entirely, and the Aldermen now serve the city for nothing. . election of officebs. The election of cfficers then came up Judge Mitchell was unanimously re elected clerk, as was also Col. T. W Rucker as City Attorney. Then came the interesting race for Chief of Police, Alderman Talmadge nominated,Capt. H. Cobb Davis and the nomination was seconded by Capt. O’Farrell. Alderman Gerdine placed Capt Oli ver iu nomination. Alderman Smith arose and said: “It gives me pleasure to second the nomination of a man who has served us faithfully and against whom there is no charge; who is soon to he sacrificed because he ad vocates a principle that does him honor I know that I voice the sentiment of the people whom I serve; when I tell him that he carries from bis office their good will and high esteem. Alderman Hodgson seconded the nomination of Capt. Oliver in a speech much of the same nature as that of Al derman Smith, and it was evident that a great deal of feeling was prevalent in the election. The vote was then taken and|resulted as follows: For Davis- O’Farrell, Dorsey, Booth, Talmadge, Cohen, and Tuck—6. For Oliver—Smith, Hodgson, Ger dine—3. Capt. H. Cobb Davis was then de clared duly elected Chief of Police for the ensuing term. Alderman Talmadge then moved to increase the force to ten men, it then being only six. This was seconded by Alderman Dorsey. This brought Alderman Hodgson to his feet with a substitute that it remain as it was. Alderman . Smith seconded the substitute. Alderman Hodgson argued at length on the line of retrenchment and economy, stating that a hard year for tax payers was .ahead of Athens and that no extra bur den should be placed on them; that the police force of six men was adequate aud that the proposed increase would be burden upon tax payers. On the vote, Alderman Hodgson’s substitute went down by a vote of 5 to 3. Those voting ave were Messrs. Smith, Gerdine and Hodgson- Those voting nay were Messrs O’Farrcll, Dorsey, Booth, Tal madge and Cohen Alderman Hodgson then moved to make the force seven men. This was voted down by the some vote. Like wise with two other substitutes for 8 a»> ’ 9 men. Gu 'ther original motion to taVe it ten men, the ay es were Messrs. O’Farrell, Dorsey, Booth, Talmadge and Cohen; the nays were Messrs. Smith, Gerdine and Hodgson. The election for policemen was then entered into with the following result: BFCulp, 9; W T Moon, 9; W D Kelley, 9; Jno AL-Kie. 9; Lee Good- rnm, 8; B O Rose, 5; J P Billings, 5; C SSurtdeth, C; Lee Sorrells, 6; Joe Saye, 5;HM Prater, 3; JL Franklin, 3; Philander Moore, 4; W S Epos, 2; J T Jones. 3; J W Martin, 3; J A Peel er 1; M P Davis, 1; J H Richards, 1. The first ten named were elected. Dr..J. C. Orr was re-elected Sanita ry Inspector; Mr. J. W. Barnett,Street Commissioner; Mr. J. A. Nantz, Su perintendent of street hands, and elec tion of other officers postponed to next meeting. The old fire department waB re-elect ed. Alderman W. F. Dorsey wa3 eleoted Mayor pro tern. the committees. Mayor Tuck announced his standing committees as follows: Finance—Hodgson, Smith, O’Farrell. Streets—Talmadge, Gerdine, Smith.

Yesterday afternoon some workmen were removing a pile of cotton seed at the Oil Mill in this city when they dis covered the body of a negro man un derneath the heap of seed. They pulled the body out, and found that the negro was dead. Coroner Pitner was at once notified, and empanelled a jury to examine into the cause of the negro’s" death. W it- uesses were examined and arl that could be obtained in the way of evidence was that the d.ad body was found yesterday by one Ed. Owens. Nothing was known as to the identi ty of the negro, nor could it be learneu how he came to his death. Everything pointed to the .fact that he had gone into the.miil, gone to sleep and had been smothered beneath tuc cotton seed. The coroner’s jnry found a verdiCL that the negro came to death by being smothered. He must have been dead for at least five or six days.

Death hovers once more around the fireside and in the home circle of an Athens family. Yesterday morning in the early hours, the soul of Miss Minnie Moss was loosed from its earthly moorings and borne away on angel wings« to the celestial city For years she had been a patient suf ferer, aud yet through it all she bore without murmuring the afflictions ol Providence. Around her uyiug couch yesterday morning gathered her par ents and her loved ones, and when the last earthly spark was extinguished, they knew that beyond the stars anoth er loved one was watching and waiting for them. Miss Moss was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Moss, of this city, and was known and beloved by a large circle of acquaintances and friends in this city and elsewhere. A devoted aud consistent member of the First Methodist church of this city for many years, she evidenced through her noble deeds the true and the exemplary faith of the Christian believer. As one of her most intimate friends said yesterday, she was a Christian of the highest type, a true friend to the poor, the sick, the afflicted, and one of whom too much that is good cannot be said or written. The funeral service will be held at 11 o’clock this moining at the First Meth odist Church, after which the remains of this lovable and highly est< emed lady will be consigned by loving bauds to their last resting place in Oconee cemetery.
