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.

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

8TREBT WORK FOB THE YKAR.
The report of the street committee

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

directions, $3,200 went towards grading
Barber street, $966 for the Boulevard,
aod $1,062.50 for Trail Creek bridge.

•This shows up well for the work of
the* street committee.

been giving the utmost satisfaction.

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.

Mayor Tuck presided with grace and
dignity, and the new Aldermen all felt

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:

A DEAD NEGRO
Found Under a Pile of Cotton Seed.
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.

THE ANGEL OF DEATH
Bears Away the Soul of a Christian
Lady.
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.

Makes the

from Hood's Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves
the claim that thtsrocdiclne " makes the weak

Importing fictitious strength from which there
must follow a' reaction of greater weakness
than before, but In the most natural way
Hood’s Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feel
ing, creates an appetite, purifies the blood,
and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve,
mental and digestive strength.

“The use of ‘Castoria’ Is so universal and
Its merits so well known that it seems a work
of supererogation to endorse it. Few are the
Intelligent families who do not keep Castoria

Persons with weak lungs—those who
are constantly catching cold should
wear an Allcocr’s Porous Plaster
over the chest and another between the
shoulder blades during cold weather.
Kemember they always strengthen and
never weaken the part to which they
are applied. Do not be deceived by ini- i
agining any other plaster like them—
they are net—may look it, but looks de
ceive. Insist always on having All-
cock’s, the only reliable plaster ever
produced.
