ATHENS BANNER : TUESDAY MORNING JANUARY 26, 1892
JUST A RUMOR-
BUT IT MAY TURN dUT TQ BE A
SUBSTANTIAL ONE.
A MAMMOTH SCHEME
To Furnish Money to the Farmers at
a Low Rate of Interest, and to
Establish a Co-operative
Store In Athens.
THE HIGHEST WATER
SEEN IN THIS COUNTRY IN MANY
YEARS-
BOTH RIVERS ARE BOOMING
And the Damage Is Considerable-
Factories Closed—Railroad Trains
Delayed—Minor Matters Con
cerning the Flood.
It is only a rumor.
And yet may turn out to be the truth,
and if it does it will go a long way to
wards helping the farmers of North
east Georgia.
The reporter gathered it up a few
days since and has worked it in many
directions without being able to get
positive assurance of its
truth, but still some facts
certainly make things look that way.
It is rumored that at an early date
some gentlemen in Athens assisted by
others who reside outside the city will
make arrangements to loan money to
the farmers of this section at a very low
rate of interest, taking their land as se
curity. It is said that these men will
have plenty of money at their back and
that it will be loaned out for the benefit
of the agricultural classes of our sec
tion.
The reporter sew one of the promi
nent men mentioned in the affair, and
asked him concerning the truth of the
rumor.
There is no truth whatever in it
far as I am concerned,’ ’ said he, “and
this is the first I have beard of it.”
The two walked on a piece, and then
the citizen said, “I’li tell you the truth
though, that such a thing is fast be
coming a necessity, and sooner or later
you will see it take shape. It may not
be in Athens, but time will bring it to
pass somewhere in Georgia.”
A CO-OP RATIVE STORE.
It was also rumored that at an early
date this spring a co-operative store
would be opened in Athens for the pur
pose of furnishing the farmers with sup
plies for the next year. It is not kuown
whether this will take shape or not, but
it is hardly thought to be necessary
since our obliging merchants are always
ready to furnish materials at the lowest
prioes to good, reliable farmers.
A SAD DEATH.

ATHENS. | HOLD A MEETING
A TRAIN NEARLY WRECKED.
AH Trains on the Division Between
Athens and Macon are Stopped
For Several Days—Another
Washout Reported.
A Woman Dies Suddenly from Ex
cltement.
Last Saturday afternoon Mrs. Tom
Vincent died suddenly at her home
near Whitehall. The circumstances
surrounding her death are about as
follows: A (little child of Mrs. Lester,
of this city, was visiting the family of
Mrs. Vincent, and the children were
playing in a room to them
selves, when the clothing
of the little Lester girl caught fire.
The children were very much alarmed
and began screaming fire, when a lady
from a neighboring house came in and
extinguished the fire. J ust then she
turned to enter an adjoining room,
when she saw Mrs. Vincent lying pros
trate across the bed; and when she ap
proached the prostrate form found it to
be life! -as.
It is supposed that the excitement
caused by the children’s screaming
brought on a fit of epilepsy, to which
Mrs. Vincent was subject.
All night Monday night, and through
out the day yesterday the rain pouted
in torrents, and all streams around
Athens rose rapidly. At a
late hoar last night the Oconee was still
rising, and by this morning, it is way
above the high water mark.
. The Factory Closed.
The waters rose so rapidly Tuesday
night that yesterday morning the low
er factory was closed down, and by
this morning it is believed that the
wheels of the check factory will cease to
tarn. This is not caused from high wa
ter, however hut the fact is that the
filling used is manufactured at the
lower factory, and consequently, when
this mill closer the other must do so
shortly after.
At Princeton.
The waters of the Middle Ooonee are
higher than the river here, owing to the
fact that that stream has more tributa
ries. The Princeton factory was closed
three or four days last week, on account
of high waters, and it is pretty bad for
them to be compelled to shut down
again, but they have bad to do it.
A Wash-Out.
The Georgia road is also suffering on
account of the floods. At Woodvile, on
the Athens branch there was an ugly
wash-out. But by having a large force
of hands at work on the spot in a short
time afterwards,Jno trains were delay
ed, and the “old reliable” met her
schedule hours promptly.-
Fences Washed Away.
From all section of country comes the
story of fences being washed away
Sandy creek is higher than hat been
known since 1886 and perhaps quite as
high as it was at that time. Both
McNutt’s and Barber’s creeks are
swelled way beyond their bounds, and
fence rails and other timbers are con
stantly washing dowd these streams.
Our Bridges.
So far as could be
ascertained up to
late hour last night, the bridges in and
around Athens were all safe, with the
exception of the foot-bridge across
Trail Creek, which is in a shaky condi
tion. If it should go, the new bridge
would be in some danger, but this being
a substantial structure, little fear is ex
pressed of its being demolished.
In the Mire.
The delivery wagon of J. S. King &
Co., was mired up to the hubs just be
yond the Middle bridge, and it took
four mules to pull it out.
The Effect on the Streets.
The streets of Athens today are in
deed in a slushy condition, in many
places veritable ponds are to be seen
However, little damage has been no
ticed as yet; except from washouts, etc
But it will take a good deal of work to
place them in. a good condition after
the flood subsides.
AN AGED CHRISTIAN LADY
Passes Over the Silent River to Her
Reward.
Yesterday morning at her residence
at Point Peter, Oglethorpe county,
Mrs. Ambrose Witcher breathed her
last.
Mrs. Witcher was in the 81st year of
her life, which was full of good deeds
of Christian charity.
She was the mother of Hon. C. M.
Witcher, member of the State Senate,
Mr. B. H. Witcher, ana our fellow citi
zens, Messrs. H. M. and W. T. Witch
er.
For many years, Mrs. Witcher had
been a devoted and consistent member
of the Baptist church, and her life was
exemplary and beautiful.
The funeral will occur today at Point
Peter and the remains of this aged
mother in Israel will be laid to rest in
the family burying ground,
DR. J. B. HUNNICUTT
Wm Advise With the Farmers of
Troup County.
The farmers of Troup county will
hold a meeting at LaGrange to-mor
row, and will discuss among themselves
several questions of vital interest to
them.
Dr. J. B. Hunnicutt, Professor of Ag
riculture in the University of Georgia,
has been invited to attend this meeting
and to give his ideas on the question of
reducing the acreage of the cotton crop.
This is a subject to which
Dr. Hunnicutt has givea
a great deal of attention and study, and
his views will be listened to by the far
mers of Trdup connty with a great deal
of interest.
He leaves today for LaGrange and
will retain Thursday.
These farmers are in earnest in re
gard to this great question and will
make a manful effort to solve it so far
as they are concerned.
HE IS BETTER]
Mr. W, B. Armstrong Is Improving
From His Injury.
W. B. Armstrong, the young
ge ileman who was so painfully injured
in u game of foot ball on the campus
Monday aftern on, is improving stead
ily.
His leg was broken pretty hadlv, the
being fractured, but it has
set, and Le will be able
soon.
The trains have been doing other
damage besides swelling the rivers of
Georgia and causing them <o get outside
their banks.
They have had their effect npon the
railroads, and washouts in several lo
calities are reported.
The m st serious, however, was one
just beyond Wbitehal), that came near
causing the wreck of a passenger traiu
Tuesday morning.
There is a heavy cat on the Macon &
Northern road between Watkinsville
and Whitehall, and the rains had loos
ened the dirt on the sides until both
sides of the cut had caved in.
The passenger bound for Lula, and
due in Athens about seven o’cluck
Tuesday morning, was thundering along
at a rapid rate of speed, when the
engineer spied the landslide
ahead. He reversed bis engine and at
tempted to stop, but it was unsuccess
ful.
The engine plunged into the pile of
dirt before it could be brought to
standstill. Luckily it was not on
curve, else the train would have gone
into it at full tilt, and thus a serious
wreck would have occurred.
The train hands went to worn at once
to remove the dirt. They succeeded in
clearing the track, and the train passed
through Athens a little before twelve
o’clock yesterday. It returned to Atb
ens about half past four o’clock
Tuesday afternoon, and
was confronted by the official report of
Another Landslide.
This landslide was about twenty
miles below Athens and a few miles be
low Farmington. It was of 8u«:h a na
ture as to warrant grave fea~s on the
part of railroad officials as to the safety
of the road just at this time, and con
sequeDtIy the train was held up in Ath
ens and orders were given
Discontinuing the Trains
between Athens and Macon for several
days until the rains cease and the condi
tion of the road is bettered.
The railroad authorities at once sent
squads of bands to the two places and
began the work of removing the ob
structions.
In a few days it is hoped by the au
thorities everything'will again lie in
running order.
Travel to Macon will lor the present
have to go around" but in a day or so
the regular schedule will again be ta
ken upon the M. & N. road.

A PERMANENT SITE.
Col. Goodioe Yancey Talks About the
Encampment.
The question of locating the State
Encampment is an interesting one, and
Col. Goodioe Yancey, who is a - member
of the Advisory Board, was talking of
that matter yesterday.
"We desire,” said Col. Yancey, “to
make the encampment a permanent
thing, if the State will come to our aid
and give us enough money to do so. It
is a good thing, and does much toward
keeping the militia of Georgia in fine
trim.”
"What cities will bid for the encamp
ment?”
"Several cities in Georgia want it and
will make a lively fight for it. Chiok-
amsuga has a camp ground all ready,
and wants the encampment to remain
there. Other cities will offer tbe land
and bnild the camp grounds. The bids
will all come in by the 1st of February
and the Advisory Board will then meet
in Atlanta and decide npon the location.
It is to ba hoped that we will be able to
make the encampmentga permanent in

A LIVELY CHASE
After a Negro Who Was Doing Some
TaU Cussing.
Officers Kelley and Saye were called
down near the upper bridge yesterday
to arrest Dave Smith, a negro who had
been swearing pretty loudly at a negro
worn; u.
The < fficers went down but couldn’t
fi id the negro. They searched a while
and finally located him i i an old car
w here he was hiding. Upon their ap
preach he ran and they pursued. He
escaped them for a while.
Officer Saye,being dressed in citizen’s
clothes, went on ahead and hid under
jail. Jailer Miller opened the door, and
strong, rugged man came in, and
there was a haggard look of sadness on
the poor fellow’s face.
It wm Jim Wesson, the moonshiner
who escaped from the Fulton county
jail a week ago to go home to see his
sick baby.
I am sorry, Mr. Miller,” the poor
fellow said ia a broken voice, "I hope
you and Cap’n Morrow don’t care, but
I heard tbe baby—” -He brushed a tear
away, and stopped a moment until his
lips quit quivering so, and went on:
*1 heard tbe baby was sick, and
thought about wife watchin’ of it at
home, and I just had to -go. I was
sorry, an’ I wrote you I*d come back.
An’ I done it. They done buried the
baby, an’ I come back, an’ I hope you
ain’t mad. ”
Captain Miller did not—he could not
utter a word of reproach to the heart
broken fellow. There was a touch of
human nature about it that made the
big, strong jailer feel more like weep
ing than scolding.
"I’m glad you have come back, Jim,”
said he.

The case of the State vs. Ashley v

Tuesday morning, as usual, at sun

and opened as usual. After doing
about a twenty dollar business, the
fact of this being Lee’s birthday flashed
into my mind, and consequently the
doors were shut,”
A good many people were disappoint
ed during tbe day, after tramping down
the muddy streets, to find disappoint

An old negro man walked three miles
to get a pint of “corn,” and finding the
dispensary closed, exclaimed in wrath

guess they’d close a month.”
