ATHENS BANNER TUESDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 23, 1892
BUSINESS OUTLOOK-
DIFFERENT MERCHANTS OF ATH
ENS TALK.
IT SEEMS TO BE BRIGHT.
The Merchants Seem to Look Hope-
fully to the Future and Believe
the Outlook for the Year
Is Promising*
IN VIEW OF THE UNPROFITABLE CONDITION OF
goods business
T
The pulse of trade beats briskly.
And the outlook for a good year in
business is much more promising than
a great many people might at first sup
pose.
Athens has stood with remarkable fi
nancial stringency of the times, andhe r
business interests are in a very stable
condition.
A Banner reporter went the rounds
yesterday and spoke with several of the
merchants of ;Athens on the outlook in
business circles.
The general opinion of the merchants
seems to be that trade will be brisk
during the coming season and that
times will be brighter.
Capt. C. G. Talmadgk said that trade
web as lively as could be expected at
this Beason of the year and that the out
look was bright for a good trade.
Capt. W. D. O’Fabbkll : Money is
pretty tight npw and I am afraid that it
will not lighten up to a very great de
gree during the year. However busi
ness wiM be brisk enough in a short
while, and where there is a lack of
money there wiU be a full share of
economy. The people in all classes
must work together with a will.
Mb. J. S. Kino : Trade is picking
up, and we will have a busy year.
Mb. D. W. McGregor : We will
make considerable addition to our store
this year, and expect a big trade.
Mb. N. F. Jackson: The Jackson-
Burke bookstore will enlarge its stock
.nd facilities and be ready to supply an
increased patronage.
Mb.E. R. Hodgson: Say to the
people that things are looking brighter
than they did a month ago, and that
better times are in store for them.
Mb. H. T. Huggins : In the crockery
trade, from the present outlook, busi
ness will be brisk this spring. In fact
our wholesale department is doing a
driving business already. Most of the
goods handled in the retail trade will
be sold for cash, and we anticipate as
good a spring custom as has heretofore
been enjoyed.
Mb. W. L. Dobbs, of the firm of S.
C. Dobbs: While of coarse we hope for
a good spring trade, at the same time,
owing to the low prices paid for cotton
it is not believed that it will be as large
as heretofore. The cash trade will be
larger, but as a matter
fact, the farmers will
not run as large store accounts as in
former years.
. Mb. G. H. Huluk L-1~ don’i
there will JJe-aiacfi' difference in the
trsdcLerihis spring from that of last.
Thefnecessaries of life will have to be
furnished, and of course, the trade will
be controlled by the demand.
Mb. A. W. Vess: I hardly think the
country trade will be as brisk as last
year, but the city will buy as much as
before, and the dry goods men depend
largely npon that trade. I shall lay in
a good stock of goods, and of course if I
thought trade would be dull, I could
•t afford to do that.
IN THE SOUTH THIS SEASON,
I have concluded that action must be taken towards a decline of former prices, id order to reduce my enormous stock!
and to turn the same into the ready cash. It is now clear to the public that my previous Bargains were genuine, and ^
competition or Receiver’s sale dared to match my prices, yet this does not satisfy me. a heavy stock of goods j
meet with better sales. On a credit three-fourths of this heavy stock could have been sold for fifty per cent. more. I am
able to scatter my goods to thie credit seekers. Cash buyers dont want to pay the losses merchants endure through that
chinery of credit ruins. While times are uot so brilliant, I prefer to offer a heavy reduction, therefore 1 place

PRICE AND NOBLE,
Th* Political Pot of Ninety-four Slm-
mering.i
While most people see discussing the
political situation of the day—whether
it will be Hjll or Cleveland—or who will
be the congressman from the Eighth-
some interest fa also being manifested in
the senatorial race of 1894.
At that time, according to the rota
tion system, it will be Clarke county’s
privilege to name the senator fiom
this senatorial districts.
And two candidates are already in
the field—Col. B. H. Noble and E. Ster
ling Price, Esq.. Ei
ther of these gentlemen
will take no little pride in representing
the district, and both stand equal
chances of election. It has been un
deratood for quite a while that Col. No
ble would be in the race, but it was not
until yesterday that Mr. Price signi
fied his intention of running. As the
election is two years off, as a matter of
fact, it will be hard to tell which will
hold the winning hand, and some un
named candidate may step in and cap
ture the plum. Meantime these two
gentlemen will enlighten the people on
theissues involved in the senatorial
race of ’94.
The Elbert County Intimidation Case
Goes Over.
The case of the United States vs. W.
P. Clarke, et. al., for intimidation has
been continued.
And its continuance caused a great
deal of grnmbllji#&i the part of about
twenty-five of the leading business and
professional men in Elberton, because
they bad been detained for three days
away from Lome.
These gentlemen were^subpoenaed as
witnesses in a case pending in the Uni
ted States court against W.|P. Clark, et.
al , wherein the charge is intimidating
United States voters. The case is one
in which it is alleged by the prosecution
that W. P. Clarke and others of Elbert
county, immediately after the last pres
idential election, assaulted one W. Pat
rick Henry for voting at the polls in
Elberton for Benjamin Harrison for
president.
The defendants claim, however, that
the prosecution on the charge of intimi
dation is an outrage, as there was noth
ing more or less in the affair than an or
dinary every day election fight.
The trial waa set for Moanyrihe 15th,
and accordingly published in the court
calendar. The witnesses,^ho were, of
course, under bond for their appear
ance, were at the opening of the court
Monday, They olaim that they stayed
over Monday. Tuesday and Wednes-
day before they received notice that the
case would be continued until the next
regular term of the court.
They are very much of the opinion
that the case is not of sufficient impor
tance to justify such detention, and to
say that they were indignant when they
were flnaly dismissed is the plain fact
without any exaggeration.
Among the witnesses who were on
hand during the first three days of court
were:
The mayor and chief police of Elber-
tod; two editors, three preachers, five
extensive farmers, two judges, six lead
ing merchants, two physicians, one ho
tel proprietor, county school commis
sioner, four well-known business men
one politician, two carriage makers,
one harness maker, a justice of the
peace, with an important courton hand,
the ordinary, three lawyers, a member
of the governor’s staff, four school
teachers, two military officers of high
rank, a druggist, and three important
railroad officials, four baLkers, two trus
tees of the Elberton public schools, the
school treasurer and three other well-
known men.

tion—This Puts Another Face
on Matters Political
Around Here.
MADAME METTAIS..DEAD.
Politics in the eighth congressional
district are becoming more lively as
the days go by.
Now there comes to the front anoth
er possible Richmond in the person of
Judge George C. Thomas, of Athens.
The last issue of the Oconee Enter
prise contained the following notice
among its locals:
**Last week we published a list of the
probable candidates for congress in the
old 8th district.
In that list we failed to mention the
name of J udge Geo. C. Thomas, of Ath
ens, a lawyer of brilliant intellect, fine
oratorical powers, sterling integrity,
and a man who would ably represent
this district at the national capitol.
If the Judge decides to make the race
he will make it exceedingly warm for
his opponents when they go before the
people."
A Banner reporter carried this piece
to Judge Thomas yesterday to ask him
if it was true that he intended making
the race for Congress from this district.
Judge Thomas was .very busy and
oonld spare no time for an
interview on the subject
but simply said: “I have the matter
under consideration and may or may
not determine to enter the fight."
This puts a different face on affairs po
litical around here.Gantt, Lawson, Col
ley, Carlton, Mattox, Brown, and lastly
Thomas. That is a pretty good string
of names from which to select the win
ner.
There are lively times ahead for the
old Eighth to be sure.

' And Hie Wrist Painfully injured.
Mr. George H. Kretz, foreign corre
spondent for Messrs. Orr & Hunter hap
pened to quite a painful accident yes
terday morning in this city.
He had been riding down near the old
Northeastern depot and had dismounted
to attend to some business.
When he went to mount again, a man
held bis horse, but turned him loose
before Mr. Krelz was firmly seated in
the saddle.
The horse dashed away, ran a small
distance, and threw Mr. Kretz to the
ground. His wrist was dislocated and
his head was badly bruised.
The dislocated member was set by the
physician and Mr. Kretz will only be
inconvenienced for a short while.
ANOTHER BARN BURNS.
Evidently the Work of an Incendiary’s
Torch.
Thursday afternoon the baro-of Mrs.
D. M. MoClesky, who lives about eight
miles from the city on the Jug Tavern
road, near the forks where the .Monroe
road branches off, was burheefto
ground. A few minutes before the fire
was discovered Mrs. McClesky was in
the barn-yard milking, and there was
no trace of fire apparent at that time
Undoubtedly it was the work of an in
cendiary. Five hundred bundles of
fodder and eight two-horse wagon loads
of corn were burned with the building.
It is to be hoped that the cowardly
sconndrei will be apprehended and
brought to summary punishment. This
is the third barn burned in fhis section
recently.

time passed quietly away yesterday
morning about seven o’clock.
One of the teachers of the Institute
and a close friend of the deceased writes
of her death as follows:
Our beloved friend, 1 Madame Mettais,
passed away this morning about 7
o’clock. The long illness that began
daring her visit home in Florida, at
the Christmas vacation, had confined
her to her room for several weeks, and
during the last few days we feared that
the end was nearing. All that her de
voted andaioving friends and physician
could do w&b done, and neither night
nor day has her bedside been left by
those who strove to relieve her paiti and
suffering.
The long illness was patiently
borne and not a word of complaining
passed her lips. Her strong Christian
character never showed more clearly
than during these painful weeks.
Madame Mettais had been in Athens
nearly four years and had greatly en
deared herself to all and many are the
acts of kindness and the tender and lov
ing words that we recall and it seemed
particularly appropriate that the last
service that we could do for her should
be held iu the school room where she
had so long and faithfully labored ^ Ten

body from the home that bad known and
loved her so deeply.

Awthor Sinfulmr Onae of Female lafmt-

CracnnfATL Feb. 19.—Cincinnati can
duplicate almost anything in the way
of a sensation. She has just come to
ttie front with an Alice Mitchell-Freda
Ward case, although fortunately blood
shed has been avoided. The woman
who takes the part of Miss Mitchell in
the oaao is Annie Bryant of 479 Eastern
avenue, and the Freda Ward is Florence

Oskamp, Nolting A Co., residing on
Colombia, near Tusculnm avenue. The
principal features of the case are almost
A COWARDLY SHOT.
identical with the Memphis tragedy,
About two weeks ago Annie Bryant
had occasion to visit the store of Os
kamp. Nolting & Co. While there she
met Miss Megrue, who is a fascinating
little lady. The Bryant girl took a deep
interest in the little wage worker, and
showed her liking in a most striking
manner. Nothing was thought of this,
however, until several days ago, when
in Miss Megrue’s mail there came a let
ter that caused her to tremble with fear
and excitement. The letter was from
the Bryant woman, and was couched in
the most endearing language. It said
that the writer loved her. and wound
up with a proposition of marriage. The
writer threatened dire disaster in case
her tender was refused.
Miss Megrue at once told her employers,
who in torn called in the girl’s parents
and then the woman was visited. She
denied writing the letter and laughed it
off. On her promise never to
bother the young lady again no legal
action was taken in the matter. The
Bryant woman, who is quite good-look
ing herself, is the same woman who
acquired notority last September by
marrying a fellow named Harry C.
Howell, who claimed to be a fraud. He
is now serving five years in. the Mis
souri Penitentiary for defrauding a
woman in Kansas City. Miss Megrue
has the confidence of her employers and
the predicament the letter-writer has
placed her in is not enviablo. She is in
no way to be blamed, as she did not en

Nashville, Feb. 17.—A special to The
American from Gallatin says that Win.
Carter, the eldest son of John T. Carter,
a well known farmer and blooded horse
dealer, waa shot and killed by Edward
B. Turpin, a resident of that plane.
Turpin called Carter a vile name,
when Carter walked toward him. As
he got within a few yards of Tnrpin,
and after a few words, the latter fired
at him, it is said, through his overcoat
pocket, where he had his revolver con
cealed, the hall plowing into the pave
ment. Carter turned to escape, when
Tnrpin fired into his hack, and as Car
ter ran shot him again in the hack.
Three shots were in rapid succession
fired, and at the last report Carter fell
toward on the street. He died in about
twenty minutes. Tnrpin was immedi
ately taken to jail. The killing is al
most universally regarded as one of the
most cowardly murders that has ever
taken place in this county.

SENATOR PUGH^THINKS IT IS HILL,
He Predicts the Nomination and Elec
tlon of the New York Senator
to the Presidency.
Washington, Feb. 19—Senator
James L. Pugh has written a letter to
the David B- Hill club, of Lauderdale
county, Alabama, on the presidential 1
situation. He says that Senator Hill i * I
a self-made man, who has been in fuli|
view of the people daring his entire ca-|
reer, and has had uninterrupted success
in all his aspirations. "All elections ' '
in New York, a doubtful state,” hecon.
tioues, “have been hotly contested, and
Hill ha3 never been defeated as a can
didate. No man in history has been
subjected to severer scrutiny and at
tack by a more powerful and marvelou; fig
adversary than David B. Hill."
Senator Pugh also says that Hilm
closed his splendid career as governor;
by an achievement that has attracted
attention for the great skill and remark- 9
able benefits attached to it for the de
mocracy. The credit of securing New
York state for the democratic party was *
due to him.
The senator closes by making the pre
diction that David B. Hill will be car- '
ried to the national democratic conten
tion by delegates from New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana, end
that with this support be will be nomi
nated, with Gray, of Indiana, for vice I
president. This ticket, the senator
says, will be invincible.
A PROMINENT CITIZEN
Sufferings in Mexico.
San Antonio, Tex., Feb. 17.—Advices
from Dnrango are to the effect that
while perhaps there is no starvation
there as the result of the famine, there
is much abject poverty and suffering
among the poorer classes, and but to
the liberalty of the government in pro
viding food, the greatest distress would
have prevailed. Railway building and
other American enterprises in that
country also have done mnoh to allevi
ate the condition of the people by pro
viding employment to many at wages
far in advance of the nsnal rate of re
muneration in that country. Twenty
car loads of corn have passed through
here, ordered by the governor of the
Mexican state of Dnrango.
A Weak Old Man.
Loganspobt, Ind., Feb. 19.—James
McDonald, aged 60 years, a wealthy far

wife, began corresponding with un

He was recently sued for breach of
promise by Mrs. Johnson, of Pern, and
she got judgment for $1,000. Learning
that McDonald was easy, he has recent
ly received letters from adventuresses
in Illinois towns, but these he has not
answered.
Garfield* Snceessor Retire*.
Youngstown, Ohio, Feb. 19.—It has
been announced here that Jndge Taylor,
of Warren, who sncceeded President
Garfield in Congress, and who has been
renominated each successive term by
acclamation, had decided to retire from
public life and would not consent to the
use of his name or accept a renomina
tion. The retirement of Congressman
Taylor will bring out a flood of candi
dates in the district.
Blackmailers In Chattanooga.
Chattanooga, Tonn., Feb. 17.—A
blackmailing scheme has just been un
earthed here. Some time since G. D.
Barnes organized a detective agency,
and in connection therewith was an
employment bureau. The two organi
zations attempted to extort "hush-
money” from several people, but were
tripped when they tackled a pawnbro
ker. They had the pawnbroker arrested
for selling a. pistol, which is contrary to
Tennessee law. The pawnbroker claim
ed that Barnes procured the pistol to
catch him, and proved a rotten state of
affairs. The gang also tried to work
several prominent citizens by threaten
ing to disclose their private affairs.

Tries His Hand at Milking Cows and
Makes a "Hit"
Lexington, Ga., Feb. 10—[Special.)
Dr. B. Chedel, of this place, is the own
er of a fine young cow, and yesterday
he invited Mr. O. H. Arnold up to see
him milk her.
The Doctor had posted Mr. Arnold
as to engaging the cow’s attention,
etc., and for a while
things went quietly. Soon the
cow became restless and the Doctor
failed to heed her angry looks.
Mr. Arnold had some pressing busi
ness elsewhere so he withdrew leaving
the Doctor to .manage the cow. The
cow and the Doctor didn’t get along
well together it seems after Mr. Ar
nold’s departure.
The first thing the Doctor knew the
oow was making a bee-line lor
him and he made a
dive under an old wagon that stood
near by. The cow’s horns raked him as
he “slid under" and, well, he has
a pair of pants to be re-seated. The
doctor is somewhat excited over bis
chase and claims that Mr. Arnold was
the cause of it all.
