IN THE DIRECTORS MEETING
Of the Georgia, Carolina & Northern—
A Gentleman who le Well inform

of Ita Construction.
The Georgia, Carolina & Northern
officials have a way of keeping their
movements all to themselves, and per
haps after all it is the best from a busi
ness standpoint.
But there are few thing in this world
that Dame Rumor doesn’t nose around,
and many times the truth will come out
through her agency.
The directors of the Georgia, Caroli
na & Northern met here Thursday af
ternoon and tran«acted their business,
returning to their homes yesterday
They had nothing to say for publica
tion, save that they were attending to
some business left over from the last
meeting. :
The Banner reporter in talking with
one of the directors Thursday night,
asked him if he could give out anything
for publication.
“No,” said he, “you had better see
General Hoke or President Robinson
They can toll what they wished pub

One of the directors said yesterday
that at the meeting nothing but ordi

but last night the reporter ran across
prominent citizen, weH informed in
railroad matters, who said that wheth
er it was discussed in meeting or not.
one item of business that received at

HE NEVER LIES DOWN.
The Story of an Old Negro Man-
9
A few days ago one of our Athens
friends wrote to bis brother in the wes
tern part of Georgia, requesting him to
procure & photograph of an old family
servaut. The old man is 75 years old,
and has never liyed out of the family.
He has never been scolded even, and
no complaint was ever made against him
for any cause. He never seemed to take
any interest in religion or funerals, and
yet, has always been honest, truthful
and.moral.
• He has never been known to lie down
always taking his sleep sitting up in a
straight back chair. He never oost bis
owners one cent doctor’s bill in all bis
life.
The brother wrote: “I will see Ben
today and have him sit for a picture
provided be can master bis modesty
He is getting on yery well. . I haye
given him a good home as long as he
lives, within 75 yards of a good spring,
and very near the public school and col
ored church. However, the church and
the school do not add yery much to his
bappiuoss. He has no aptitude for let
ters, and 1 don’t think he ever had any
sort of grip on spiritual matters. Amid
all the storms of life he has moved as
smoothly as a deep water streams on an
unruffled sea. In some respects he is
the wisest man of the age—t hat is if the
-holding on to one’s equanimity at all
times, and taking things serenely as
they come, are evidences of wisdom.
While he never straddled a hobby .in
all his life, he was so far from objecting
to his neighbor riding one, that he took
real pleasure in holding the stirrups
while he mounted.”
About the Planting of the Next Crop.
“People are badly mistaken” said an
Oconee county farmer yesterday, “if
they think the farmers are going to
plant their next crop without count
ing the cost before they plant it. They
are going to proceed in the matter slow
ly and carefully, and after determining
what is for their best interests will get
to work on the crop.”
“How are the farmeis getting along
in their preparation for the next crop?”
“Of course they £re somewhat delayed
in that matter. The old crop is not all
disposed of yet and the money affairs
of last year have not all been settled,
but the farmers are about ready now to
get to work preparing for their crops.”
You may think it strange, but not
one farmer have I heard say anything
yet about guano, or fertilizers, or mate**
rials, or anything. They are debating
their minds how much
cotton they are going to plant, and bow
much labor will be necessary to be
hired. In other words the farmers
have about made up their minds to
plant just so much cotton as they can
tend in first class style, and to cultivate
no more land than they can work to an
advantage. The intensive system of
farming is gaining ground among our
farmers every day.
When will the farmers begin to
plough their ground to be ready for the
early crops?

Columbus, O., Jan. 23.—The Cincin

a careful canvass of the legislature,with
a view of ascertaining the strength of
various prominent leaden in the presi

Their replies to the question, "Who is
four choice for the nominee of your

great interest, inasmuch as they are
supposed to reflect the sentiment of
their respective constituencies. A sum

Enthusiastic for War.
Cincinnati. Jan. 23.—The possible
war with Chili has caused an immense
amount of interest among the members
of the First Regiment in this city. The
boys talk about nothing else, and they
gather in the armory and eagerly study
the maps of Chili. The veteran Colonel
C. B. Hunt is as much worked up over
the matter as the privates and other offi
cers of the regiment. He said: "We
are waiting orders to go to Chili." He
spoke seriously about the matter, and
declared that all the boys were very
much excited and elated over the pi as
pect. "I could put 400 men in the field
at once,” declared the Colonel, "and in
ten days I can be ready with 1,200.

wreck, causing two deaths, has occur
red at Guthrie, about fifty miles east of
this place, on the Illinois Central road.
Engineer Win. Argo, of this city, lost
his life by running into the rear of a

A Wild Man, of Monroe County, Tennes
see, liled with La Grippe.
Knoxville, Jan. 23.—Mason Evans,
the much-paragraphed man of Monroe
county, is dead. La Grippe took him
off. Evans had been a great curiosity
in this section for more than forty years,
daring which time he had roamed in
the woods apart from the comforss of
civilization, subsisting on roots and
herbs dug from the earth, with an occa
sional fowl surreptitiously taken from
some convenient barnyard.
He was captured several times, but
always managed to escape. Seven or
eight years ago he was captured by
some fearlew fellows with an enter
prising turn of mind for the purpose of
entering him in a dime museum. When
taken his body was as hairy as that of i
bear and covered with filth, and vermin.
His eye gleamed like the eye of a ma
niac, and he had almost lost the power
of speech.
For twenty years he lived in a cave of
the Chilhowie mountains, and was
never kuown to have spoken a word
during that rime. He lived in a state
of nudity, and was fond of raw meat.
Those who know his history say Hi
he was born in 1827. He received
splendid education. At 20.years of ag
he engaged in teaching school, and fei
iu love with a young lady cf his neigh
borhood. She received his attentions
with favor. One night ho called am'
asked her to become his wife. She said
no. 'He went out in the darkness, and
it was many years before he was seen
again, and then he fled from his fellow-
men like a frightened deer. Wild with
love, he died with la grippe.

Government Proceedings Against Him
to Recover Shortage Money.
Boston, Jan. .23.—Advices have been
received from Washington ordering the
government’s representative here to
proceed in the United States court
against General Banks to recover the
amount of deficit which was alleged to
have been found in his accounts when
he left the position of United States

Deputy Marshal Poole, who was held to
be personally responsible for the short
age, which amounted to about $4,000,

EX-SENATOR EDMUNDS
Delivers a Led are to the United States
Supreme Court.
Washington, Jan. 23.—The Justices
of the supreme court of the United
States were astonished, and a mild sen
sation was created in court, by the man- *
ner in which ex-Senator Eduiuncb, who
was counsel in a case, in argument, crit
icised ' the court and stated his opinion
that it was entirely wrong in its decis
ion in the celebrated original package
case from Iowa.
The ex-senator was in excellent spir
its, and he lectured the court in the be
nignant, amiable manner familiar to bis
colleagues on the senate floor. With
great diffidence he said that he felt it
his duty to tell the court that it hail
gone wrong in its construction of the
constitution in its decision in the Loisy
vs. Hardin case (the original package
case). The principle laid down iu that
case was one dangerous to the security
of the people of the individual states.
He nrged the court to go back to the
true doctrine in this case while there
was yet time.

by Fire.
Griffin, Ga., Jan. 21.—John Asher’*
dry goods store was discovered on fir*
about 2 o’clock. The fire originated in
the basement among some old rajriL and
« supposed to have been caused hy
ipontaneous combustion.
Mr. Asher estimate* tbe value of hit
flock to be from fourteen to sixteen
thonsand dollars, on which he has an in
surance of $10,000. Tbe stock is almost
worthless, being singed, smoked and
loaked with water, hence the loss will I
oe practically a total one on tbe stock. \
The house belongs to Captain Seaton
Stamtlaud. The damage to it can be
■epaired with a few hundred dollars,
irobably. The building was fully cov-
*ed by insurance
