ATHENS BANNER TUESDAY RiOF VINO FEBRUARY 23, 1892 : — : — On College Avenue—It Win be Beauty and wlU Stand Beside The New iAlmadge Bulldog. Three story brick business bouses are all the go now in Athens. Messrs. C. G. and J. E. Talmadge commenced building their new build* ing on the corner ot Clayton street and College Avenne, and then Dr. I. H. Goss gave out his intention of erecting a three story brick building on the coi ner of Clayton and Lnmpkin street*, and now Mr. Moses Myers is having the plans drawn for a three story brick on College Avenue. The work was going on on the Tal ~ miadge building and Mr. Myers discuss ed the matter of building 'a handsome building himself. His business has largely increased since he,located at bis present place of business, and he came to the conclusion that he needed more room at d that be would build himself. Mr. Myers didn’t delay the matter af ter he made up his mind to build. He decided Monday night that be would build and yesterday morning he employod Capt- James McCulloch to draw the plans for the building. The architect at once began his work and the work of tearing down the old building will commence in a few days Mr. Myers will move his store _into the store room next to the r fflce of the Southern Express Company, and will remain there until the completion of the new building The new building will front tbirty- flvefeeton College Avenue and will be three stories in height. It will be built according to tbe latest style of artiteo- ture and will be an ornament to the city. r Mr. Myers will use his. aewilullding entirely for the ttrrtof M. Myers & Co. The old bffildlng will be torn down in a igw'.days, and the new one uill be completed by August 1st. This new building and that of Messrs Talmadge will add much to tbe looks the city. And the Owner Narrowly Escapes With His Life. News of a serious Are reached the city ycsterdav morning at the gin house of Mr. Joe Luke, near tbe roadbed of the Georgia, Caro’ina and Northern rail way, about nine miles from the city. Mr. Luke was walking from one part of the house to tbe other with some loose matches in his pocket, when by some means the matches ignited, and fell into a lot of lint cotton, and quick as a flash tbe blaze sprang up envelop ing him in the flames. Mr. Luke rushed from the bhrniLg building,but bad a very narfow escape. He, however, was not seriously in jured. A lot of cotton was in the gin house, and this together with the wood work of the gin, feeder and condenser, were totally destroyed. Tbe loss is estimated to be somewhere between eight hundred and one thou sand dollars. Some parties who had cotton in the gin share in the loss. Nothing was insured, and as a matter of course the loss is a heavy one. GRAND ORGANIZATION OF 9.000 MILES OF RAILS. In the United States-The Richmond by sickness.

REDUCING THE ACREAGE. the Col. James M. Smith Talks on Subjeot. la. & talk with a correspondent of tbe Constitution on tbe subject of tbe re daction of the cotton acreage, Col James M. Smith gives this sound ad vice: “What do yon think about the move ment to cut down tbe cotton acreage ?” Colonel Smith was asked.' “If it is not done, then it will be good by, John, to the Southern country,’ was tbe significant reply. “The time has come when a change has to be made bv utter necessity. If the farmers of the South don’t change tactics and live at home, with cotton as a surplus crop, this thing is as true as God’s Bible, that within the next three years oar average lands of Georgia will not bring more than a dollar per acre, and utter starva tion will hover over the homes of many a Southern farmer like the vultures' . over the body of Prometheus. A revolution must come. Men are growing desperate on the farms. We need to study political econ omy. We most have no political strife, no anarchy; we must have a straight forward, honest, harmonious country and first of all every tub must stand on A HOG STORY.

Tbe New York Sun’s Vigorous Attack. Did Harrison Suggest It? J3t,-Louis, Feb. I®-—A Republic spe- cial from Washington says : There is a good deal of gossip afloat here regard ing the New York Sun’s attack on Gen eral Alger’s war record. It is not much of a secret- that the New York Sun, whilo ostensibly pretending to be a Democratic paper, is the most confiden tial organ of the administration. The war department officials have absolutely refused to permit correspondents to in vestigate Alger’s record, but there is a strong suspicion that the white house people had more than a-little to do with The Sun’s editorial of a few days ago on Alger. Mr. D im, the editor of The Sun, was assistant secretary of war during the contest between the states, and is likely to know many thiugs connected with the war history of that period; person ally there is even snspicion that he has duplicate copies of most of the corres pondence that transpired at that time between officers in the field and the de partment. . Some old retired • officers lere, who, for reasons of their own, do not desire to have their names men tioned, inform your correspondent that, in their opinion, The Sun’s diagnosis of Alger’s case- is, in the main, correct; that he did qnit his regiment at a time When hard lighting was expected; that he did use a political pall to get as signed to court martial duty at Wash ington. That Phil Sheridan, Custer, Merritt and fighting men in the field became so disgusted with liis conduct that.they recommended his dishonorable dismis sal to the war department. This cor respondence, perhaps, was handled by Mr. Daua as assistant -secretary of .war, and be may have obtained his knowl edge thereby, bnt all the same there is a feeling here among Alger’s friends that John Sherman and Harrison, or some person acting for them, refreshed Mr. Dana’s memory and induced him to make t!:e attack on Alger at this time for the purpose of affecting the Repub lican state conventions during the next, few months.

An Illinois Stateiman Believes the Bill —- Will Be Overhauled. Washington, Feb. 16.—Representa tive Fithian of Illinois, in speaking of the tariff question to a party of gentle men in the lobby of Willard’s hotel that he had heard considerably tariff talk among the Democrats in the house dur ing the past few days. "The Springer, wool bill, or, rather, the free wool bill, which will soon be reported from the' ways and means com mittee,” said he, "will, in my judg ment, grow in proportion until it be comes a general bill in all except .the title. Our large majority in the house was elected on the tariff issue, and I know from conversation with the mem bers that amendments will be offered affecting every schedule in the McKin ley bill, and a vote will be ordered on every amendment. I intend to offer an amendment to tbe wool bill to place all farm implements on tbe tree list. ” Representative Harter, of Ohio, who is one of the largest manufacturers in the country, iB in favor of tbe amend ment. He says farm implements man ufactured in this country are exported and sold cheaper to foreigners than our farmers can buy them, and it is bnt justice to onr farmers that farm imple ments be placed on the free list. "I have also heard,” continued Mr. Fithian, "that a caucus may be had on tbe free wool bill, whereby an agree ment may be reached that no amend ment will be offered, and that a vote be had on tbe bill as reported from the Ways and means committee. However. I will not be surprised if the free wool bill, as I have said, should assume the proportion of a general tariff, and both would stand about tbe same chance of getting through the senate." in new income bonds and a blowing with great violence.

Upon climb ing to the top of the frame we found that not one of the ten outside posts was half an inch higher than the others. The 2 by 6 plates (D D) were spiked, on the out side of the posts, the upper edges being about nine inches below the tops. The rafters (E E) were allowed to rest on the plates and were also spiked to the posts. Each pair of rafters was set up with the ridge spread two inches apart to receive the ridge board. In order to do this cleats were tacked on each pair before they were raised into position. After the rafters had been spiked on the posts they were braced into position and ribs nailed in b§twCen them to stiffen them and also to support ^he roof, boards. The ridge board was next placed in position and ex tended to the pole at the right of the pic ture. The cleate were then knocked off and the rafters. spiked to the ridge boards.

The roof is well braced. The frame is all nailer^ together with No. 20 wire spikes.. At the back end of the barracks a post stands in the middle of the last bent and extends to the ridge board, to which it is also spiked.. In tilling with hay, each section be tween two bents is filled at one time, be ginning at the back end. The picture shows the first bent empty, and in tak ing out hay the wagon is baefied into this space to load. This arrangement saves much hard work. The track and car are so arranged that the horse hay fork can be used to take outrthe hay if desired. After filling itup well under the roof we let the hay settle and put in more on top. The back end gable faces the west and is boarded up. We imay inclose it next season, but see no neces sity for doing so at this date.
