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. ► INTO THE CUT WHERE A LANDSLIDE HAD COV ERED THE TRACK. AGAIN GETS IN ITS WORK IN THE PRESIDENT AND CABINET 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. HeElree’s Wine at Cardul for weak Nerves MR. JOHN N. HERRING Dies at his Home In East Athens. Tut sday morning at 8:30 o’clock. Mr. John N. Herring, a most estimable citizen of East Athens, died after a two weeks illness. Mr. Herring was about thirty-five years of age, and had b§en an employe of the' Athens Manufacturing company since childhood.

For a number of years he was a member Of Williams Lodge, but when Clarke Lodge was organized, he withdrew from Williams and became a charter member of that Lodge. At the organization of Clarke Lodge, Mr. Herring was elected Treasurer, which position he has ever since filled with credit to himself. He was al so an active member of Oliver En campment of Odd Fellows, of this oity. Mr. Herring leaves a widow and five children to mourn bis death.

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 stitution ” LAID TO REST. AN ESSENTIAL PROVISION.

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. ttARZA GIVES UP- F HI8 FOLLOWERS HAS TALKED- HE FIRST MEETING HELD In New Orleans, When the Move was Inaugurated, and Sandovalla Made the Leader. • m i Every one should use P.
