fHE ATHENS BANNER: TUESDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 25, 1892
THE TOUR FINISHED-
THE FARMERS’ lNSTITUJES WERE,
A GREAT SUCCESS.
DR. HUNNICUTT TALKS.
And Says That the Movement In Fa
vor of Sctentlflc'Methods In Re
gard to Agriculture is Tak
ing Hold of the Farmers.
T
ROMANTIC MARRIAGES
The Farmers’Institutes have been
firmly established in South Georgia,and
during the coming months the move*
ment will be carried into North Geor
gia.
The results that have already been ac
complished cannot be spoken of too
highly. They have been very highly
beneficial in every respect and this,
movement towards scientific methods'
in the agriculture of Georgia will spiwl
until at its touch the old red hills will
become verdant and the waste places
shall be recovered and the hillsides and
valleys shall blossom as the rose.
Drs. White and Hunnicutt have~re-
turned from their lecturing tour
through South Georgia, and say that
the success met with was even greater
than expected.
Dr. Hunnicutt in speaking with a
Fanner reporter yesterday said:
“From the time weopened up at New-
nan until we closed the term of lectures
at Fort Valley, it was one round of en-
ttiusiasm on the part of the farmers.
We visited Newnan, Griffin, Guyton.
Waycross,Thoma8ville,Albany,Cuthbeit
and Fort Valley, and atevery placeex-
cept the latter were met by a large
crowd of enthusiastic farmers. AtFort
Valley the small crowd was occasioned
by a mistake in the advertisement of
the meeting.
The farmers took hold of the meet
ings in earnest, they accorded us a
hearty welcome at each place, and all
appeared anxious to sieze upon any sug
gestions to be offered on the subject of
agriculture.
“Prof. White lectured mainly upoD
the relation of tho air and water to the
soil, the value of fertilizer, the applica
tion of chemistry as a science to agri
culture, etc., while I adapted my lec
tures to the section I happened to be in,
talking mainly in favpt_of .deep p
ing, the taking care and buildfn
of lands, and the necessity of raising
cotton cheaply.
“I think a great deal of good was ac
complishing by the tour, and
if nothing else was done,
the farmers were at least stirred up to
i the point of thinking very deeply... the
subject.
"We will not conduct a regular lec
turing schedule in North Georgia. We
I will go from place to place as we can.
I We have received urgeut invitations to
■ go to Cedartown, Thomson, Dalton,
W Con vers, Waynesboro, Jeffersonville,
^ and other places in North Georgia, and
will probably visit them all.”
L In a future issue, Dr. Hunnicutt will
* give the Bakxkk an account of this lec
turing trip.
STOCKHOLDERS MEET
That Took Place Monday Night.
There were two romantic marriages
that took place in Georgia Monday
night about twelve o’clock.
And the ceremony was performed in
the city of Griffin. The contracting

ard Williams, of Atlanta, and Miss
Jeannette Wales, of Woodbury.

Wales at her home in Wtndbury
The Griffin German Club gave a Val
entine ball Monday evening, and the
young ladies went over to Griffin, some
twenty miles distant, the guests of
Miss Harris, of that city. The young

vilion by some young gentlemen of the
city.

B^oodworth, of Atlanta, were present,
tad acted as the friends of Messrs. Cobh
and Williams.
About 10:45 o’clock Mr. McClesky
joined Miss Gray and Mr. Bloodwortb
joined Miss Wales. Both couples
waltzed around the floor twice and then
over to the doo^and without a word to
their friends tripped rapidly out to two
carriages which were in waiting. Mr.
Cobb was in one of the carriages and
Mr. Williams was in the other. Direc
tions were quickly given, and the dri
vers whipped their horses and away the
carriages rolled. A drive of nearly two
miles and the carriages stopped at the
door of Kev. Mr. Daniel, a Baptist
preacher. Mr. Daniel had been posted,
and he was ready. Messrs. McClesky
and Bloodworth were the only wit
nesses.
The marriage ceremony was brief and
in a few minutes the happy couples

Y.\WYER8 FIGHT.
Hope PolhlH, a University Graduate,
One of the Combatants.
Macon, Ga., Feb. 17 —There was a
lively fight in Macon yesterd morn
ing, and Messrs. Hope Polhill and Ar
thur Dasher, two young attorneys,
were the combatants. Polhill is a mem
ber of the firm of Giles, Preston and
Polhill, and is a graduate of the Uni
versity Law School; and
Dasher is a member
of the firm of D&aher& Jones. Polhill
was severely cat in several places by
Dasher, and Dasher was knocked down.
From all' accounts it seems that
Messrs. Dasher and Polhill, who are
commissioners in the case of Pillips vs.
the East Tennessee road, were taking
the testimony of Mr. T. S. Sanford.
During the bearing Commissioner Pol-
bill wrote the evidence in a manner un
satisfactory to Mr. Dasher, whereupon
the latter insisted upon its being strick
en out The hearing continued after
some words bad passed, and when fin
ished Mr. Dasher went ont of the room
to get a blotter. Mr. Polhill followed
him into the hall and, feeling aggriev
ed at the language, used by Mr. Dasher,
asked him for an explanation.
The two returned into the room and,
the explanation being unsatisfactory,
engagedln a war of words, which ter
minated in Mr. Polhill being struck by
Mr. Dasher in the faoe.
During the difficulty Mr. Dasher
drew a small two-bladed penknife and,
opening it, made several dashes at his
opponent. One cut made a gash on the
left side of Mr. Polhill’s nose,' extend
ing from theTeft eye to the lip, another
made a slight cut on the forehead, a
third was a stab in the right wrist and
a fourth a stab on the bead.
Mr. Dasher was knocked down, it is
said, but was not otherwise hurt.
When the attorneys were seperated
Polhill was bleeding profusely from his
wonnd3. He was taken at onoe to 'the
office of Qy Mettauer, and htf and Dr.
Etheridge sewed up the cuts and sent
him. to his home. Attorney Dasher re
turned to his office.
Blood could be s«*en everywhere, and
a perfect trail of blood led from the
room to Dr. Mettauer’s office.
Mr. Polhill’s wounds, while not seri
ous, are very painful. The gash on bis
upper cheek and left side of his nose
> quite deep, and the stabs in the
forehead and right wrist will not heal
for some time time.

THE WORK BEGUN .
TO RELIEVE THE PEOPLE.
The New York World in speaking of
the work of the present House of Rep
resentatives says:
The Democratic] House has begun
work in earnest for" the reform of the
tariff and the r lief of the people.
The committee on Ways and Means
will next week report the first three bills
framed for this purpose. These are
the Springer free-woel hill, the Bryan
free binding-twine hill, and Mr. Turn
er’s measure to pat cotton ties, cotton
bagging and the machinery for manu
facturing the same on the free list.
The free-wool bill .will benefit the
wool-grower by permitting manufac
tures to flourish which consume his
product. The effect of the so-called
protection to wool growers provided in
the McKinley bill has been to decrease
consumption and lower; prices. The
measure will benefit manufacturers by
giving them that free access to raw ma-
t rials which their competitors in al<
o her civilized.countries enjoy. It will
benefit all the people by giving them
cheaper olotbing and blankets. It will
s imulate industry, increase trade and
cheapen living. It will remove both
the wool tax and the compensatory
duties which the people now pay to mo
nopoly.
The binding twine bill is of less con
sequence because the tax on binding
twine is now very small. But there
uo reason, except the will of the cordage
trust, why the farmer should pay any
tax at all upon the coarse string with
which he binds his not always profita
ble sheaves.
Cotton ties and- cotton bagging are
articles of prime necessity to the agri
cultural interest of nearly half the
country. The ties are used to bale
both cotton and hay. Both ties and
bagging are heayily taxed, and have
been controlled by a grasping monopoly
disposed to take to itself as much as pos
sible of the scant profits of the agricul
ture.
These bill will pass the House, of
course. A Democratic majority of 150
is pledged to offer that relief. It is not
unlikely that they will pass the Senate
_&lS3. -.The Republican majority there
is not large) afinTti^clniJesmen whose
constituents will surely res®
san denial of snch relief. It
easy to hold these men to the party pro
gramme in voting for the McKinley
bill. It will be much more difficult to
control them against their convictions
and againstthe demands of their States
for partisan opposition to specifiio meas
ures for the popular good.
The policy of attack in detail has this
advantage under existing circum
stances, that it gives opportunity to ac
complish something of reform, as .no
other policy ,does, and should the blind
obstinacy of the Senator) al majority or
of the President defeat that purpose
the issue of the people against monopo
ly will be presented to the voters next
fall in a form so simple that the least
instructed can not mistake the mean
ing.
and men and women
are but acton. But how can one act well his
part if he suffers from dv
if he suffers from dyspepsia ?

Scrofulous Humor—A Cure
“Almost Miraculous.”
" When I was 14 years of age I had a severe
attack of rheumatism, and after I recovered
had to go on crutches. A year later, scrofula,
m the form of white swellings, appeared on
various parts of my body, and for 11 years I
was an invalid, being confined to my bed
years. In that time ten or eleven sores ap
peared and broke, causing me great pain and
suffering. I feared I never should get well.
” Early In 18861 went to Chicago to visit a
sister, but was confined to my bed most of the
time I was there. In-July I read a book, * A
Day with a Circus,’ In which were statements
of cures by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Xwasso Im
pressed with the success of this medicine that
I decided to try IL To my great gratification
