took
Tbe Democracy of this seotion is on
the move.
And they are going at a steady and a
lively gait.
At High Shoals Tuesday night over
one hundred and fifty staunch Demo
crats met at Medlin’s store. This con
stitutes the membership of the Demo
cratic Club of High Shoals, of which
Mr. J. W. Lee is Presideut and Mr. E.
P. Frazer Secretary.
The first speaker of the evening was
Judge George C. Thomas, of Athens.
Judge Thomas spoke for over an hour
and in his own forcible and eloquent
manner captured the crowd who were
wild with enthusiasm,- He arraigned
the Third party leaders and riddled
their platform; then showed why the
Democrats should stick together and
what Democracy will do for the people.
Judge Thomas* speech was a gem.
Mr. T. W. Reed, secretary and treas
ury of the Young Men’s Democratic
Club of Clarke county, then addressed
tbe assembled Democrats in a short
speech showing tbe dangers of division
among the white men of Georgia*, and
the necessity of sticking together at
this time above all others.
High Shoals is Democratic to tbe
core.
Harmony Grove to the Front.
Who said Jackson county was going
for tbe Third party ? Who is betting
his money on that kind of a verdict be
ing returned in November? If there is
such a man be bad better begin to
bulge his money, and all that is neces
sary for him to do is to go to Harmony
Grove and look around that section "of
tbe county, and then go to Jefiersoi
and look around a little.
The Democratic rally at Harmony
Grove last night was a most enthusias
tic affair despite the very inclement
weather. Over two hundred men gath
ered in the academy and listened
for over an hour to the eloquence and
logic of the President of Clarke’s Dem
ocratic Club.Capt. W. B. Burnett. Cap'.
Burnett caught the attention of his au
dience from the jump and kept it to the
conclusion. The way he riddled the
Third party platform was de'ightful to
Democratic ears. The land plank, the
transportation plank, and the pension
plank were three pillars from under
which he knocked the props. Time af
ter time the building shook with ap
plause, and when the solitary Third
partyite in the large crowd questioned
the speaker, be received such forcible,
argumentative, yet courteous replies
that his batteries were soon silenced.
“What has the Democratic partv
done?”asked a man in the audience,wh >
was a Democrat, but desired argument
with which to confute his adversaries.
Capt. Burnett very soon gave all the
argument, he w’ished.
IIMr. T. W. Reed made a few remarks
but was cut short in the midst of his
speech by the arrival of the train for
Athens. Capt. W. D. O’Farrell, Hon.
W\ J. Morton,and Mr. Julius Cohen
w re also along on the trip.
.the Democrats of Harmony Grove
are moving things and they are not go
ing to let up in the efforts until old
Jackson again sends up her accustomed
Democratic majority. A large number
of farmers were present at the meet
ing.

The water supply question
another turn yesterday.
And the city will now continue the use
of the water as supplied by the Athens
City Water Works.
And after sR, what kind of a muddle
has the water works question gotten
into?
The mayor and council met yesterday
afternoon in called session. The body
went into a committee of the whole,
with Mayor pro. tern. Dorsey in the
chair.
An informal discussion was held and
the views of the different Aldermen ex
pressed. City Attorney Rucker was
celled on for his opinion.
He said that the position the council
had taken was the safest one, but that if
tne council desired to continue the use
of the water during tbe construction of
the works it could do so,
and then shut it off
if at the time of the completion of tbe
works, the Waterworks Companystill
failed to comply with its contract, bnt
that if the Company pat itself in shape
by that time to comply with its con
tract the city would have two systems
of water works on its bands.
The motion was upon rescinding the
action of Council in shutting off the
water supply. Tbe Council took a vote
on the question and it resulted as fol
lows: Ayes, Gerdine, HodgsoD, Tal-
madgeand Tuck—4. Nays, O’Farrell,
Booth, Cohen and Smith—4. It being
a tie vote, Mayor pro. tern. Dorsey yoted
aye and the motion was passed.
What Next?
he question i», What ne:
he water will be used, and
ill go back to her old inauran
The commissioners will go ahead with
the work of erecting a new system of
water works.
Bnt when it comes to floating the
bonds there is going to be a contest. It
has been referred to the Finance com
mittee and two out of three of that
committee are opposed to the action of
council yesterday. One of them says
he will not vote to float bonds until this
questton assumes a more certain shape.
And so it goes.

THE CHINESE BILL-
SHERMAN SAYS IT CANNOT TAKE
EFFECT AT ONCE.
THE HOUSE AT WORK
On the THayes-Rockwefi Contested
Election Case—Mr. Wheeler, of
Indiana, Differs. .
Washington, April 2a —After the
Usual morning business, Mr. Sherman
notified the senate that the further ex
amination of the Chinese immigration
law had convinced the committee on
foreign relations that tha existing Chi
nese exclusion legislation would not ex
pire till 18&A and that there was, there
fore, no pressure for immediate action
on the question. He would, however,
call it up at the convenience of the sen
ators who desired to speak upon the
subject.
Thereupon the silver resolution offer
ed by Morgan was taken up.
After preliminary business tho honse
resumed consideration of tho Noyes-
Rock-well contested election case. Mr.
Wheeler, of Alabama, speaking in his
usual crisp, nervous manner fr9in the
central aisle, gave his adherence to the
cause of the contestee and criticised the
report of the majority of the committee
on elections. In his opinion no case bad
ever been presented for the action of the
honse where so little ground existed
upon which to base tbe findings of the
majority.
THE SENATE’S, PROMPT ACTION.

Washington, April 20.—Iu his mes
sage transmitting the Behring sea mo

"As tho valne and effectiveness of this
agreement depend largely upon its be
ing put in foroe at once, I respectfully
request prompt consideration of the
subject by the senate. ” .
The senate acceded to this request
ith the greatest expedition. The
treaty was received in the afternoon
and referred to the committee on for
eign relations which acted upon it
promptly and reported it to the senate
1 avorably. In less than two honra was
the treaty discussed and then it was rat

Pdrter Has a Tooth In HU
na of That Age.
A Banner Reporter Has a Tooth In His
Ham
It is not often that one sees a tooth
ninety years old, but yesterday a repor-
er had just such a tooth iu his band. It
was shown by Dr. J. W. Kennedy, who
extracted it from the mouth of Mrs.
Sallie Pentecost, of Jackson county,
about a month since. The tooth is
known as an eight year molar. Mrs
Pentecost was born in Greene county,
Georgia, Oct. 4,1795, therefore she is
97 years old. ner maiden
name was Sallie Boring,
and she is a near relative of Dr. Jesse
Boring, formerly presiding elder of the
Athens district.
At tbe age of twelve she moved from
Greene to Morgan county, where she
says she distinctly remembers two or
three Indian massacres which took
place when she was a mere girl. Al
though, ninety-seven years have passed
since her birth, she is as lively as most
women at fifty.
HOW TO COOK A WIFE AND SE
LECT ONE.—Continued.
Great importance should be attached
he selection of a wife that has been
made tender and good by being fed and
cultured in a uniform and strict man
ner. You should not be guided by an
outward artificial, fancy appearanoe
as in buying a doll to be handled and
petted for a while like a poodle, then
cast aside as not worth cooking. The
sweetest and most valuable wives and
easily cooked are those who possess the
magic art of being constantly cheerful
and happy. Not a modern belle, but
one who possesses good old grand
mother qualifications, and who is good
and tender at heart. With a litttle
prudence mixed with smiles and love
used as basting, when cooking will
make such a wife tender, good, and fit
for table use. To be continued. Yon
cannot find a more reliable place to buy
docks, watches, jewelry and silver,than
at Skiff’s, the jeweler. Prices reasona
ble. Watches repaired in tbe best man
ner.
BLOWN OUT.
Mr. W, B. Gaulding, of Oglethorpe.
Has Fire to Rash In his Face.
The other night while Mr. W. B.
Gaulding, of Oglethorpe county, was
sitting before his fire, a terrific explo
sion occurred, and the fire flashed in
tils face, singing bis hair, eye-brows
and moustache. Tbe explosion whs
from a loaded piece of pine wood, and
for s long while the c&nse of the ex
plosion could not be conjectured. Bnt
Mr. Gaulding remembers that* about
twelvo or fifteen years ago, he used
powder in clearing up the wood from
“new grounds,” and thinks he had jnst
got bold of one of these loaded trees.

MAYOR PRICE’S SENSATION.
Ho Fences In the Property of the Ma
con and Covington Road.
Macon, Ga., April 20.—Mayor Price
precipitated a sensation in railroad cir
cles this morning by fencing in all the
property of the Macon and Covir gtoD.
now the Macon and Noi them roi-d,- ir
this city, and" posting t respass notices
thereon.
The property was granted to the road
by the city upon the building of that
road and comprises about eight acres of
very valuable land lying adjacent to
Central City park and n*ar the riVer.
The properly is valued at not less that
$35,000, which, of course, is more thar
double its value at the time it was
granted to the railroad company.
In the contract by which the road
came into possession of the pr iperty the
company agreed to establish in Macon
shops and roundhouses and to keep the
same permanently established on the
grounds donated by the city.
It also agreed to pay the city the sum
of $1,000 per year for the use of right oi
way into the city and for the right to
cross tbe river.
The mayor bolds 'hat the road has
abandoned its shops since goiDg under
control of the Richmond and Danv’ll-*,
all the work of the road-now being done
at the Central shops in tliia city
He also holds that the road has aban
doned the right of w iy and its depot
new using the Central’s tracks in com
ing into the city and using its depo s.
The mayor further claims that the
Macon and Northern has refused to
pay the $1,000 agreed upon as yearly
rent for the right of way, and he will
therefore d^ut the road out from all
rights made$oit in the contract.
The eight (cres of land have been
fenced and trespass notices put up, ant
in addition tokhis a negro watchmto,
who has bis warters on’ tbe land in
qnestion, has b«n ejected.
The whole thing is more tbad likely
to result m a big suit between tbe road
and the city, butrtbe mayor and city at
torney are very positive and will accept
nothing bnt a clean surrender of the en
tire property. ,

Old “Tub” came to tho Bansib of

E. W. Barrett, of tbe Atlanta Con
stitution, publishes an interview with
C -ngressman Thomas G- Lawson, of
the Eighth district, in regard to the po
litical situation in Georgia.
When ask<d t- diy f ir an expression
of opinion abont the third party, be
said:
“it puzzles me. I confess that I do
mt understand it. Why thire slionic
be any serious d; fection from the dem-
oi r.itic psrty at its most critical epeeb,
jnst ss it is about to enter upon what
,eemed a few months ago a successful
csn.ptign, exceeding in cheering as-
p c s any campaign-m thirty years,and
while all hearts were aglow with anti
cipated victory, is a mystery t> me.
It occurs to me that every man is ob-
l g -d to know that its eff.it will be
to strengthen the republican party and
to drive lrom the srena of combat the
iLly party that can effectually erp
with it, that instead of securing relict
if any kind whafsoever,it must destroj
ill possib l ty of relief from any source.
What relitf can they exoict to secure
from the success of the republican par
ti ? Has any ever been indicated by
inybcdv ? No “one can suppost
that there is any possibility
of success for the Third p rty in the
Xa'ional election. Its most ardent-up
porters cl tini nothing but a balance o-
power as between the Demoeratio ,*nd
R public in pirties. Whst good caE
they derive from that? A few may get
offices not otherwise obtainable by them,
but they su .ely do not think that usmal
fr gmectoi a party can f rce either oni
of tue great parties to concede anything
o them at tbe sacrifice of their own in
terests or principles. Tne tempir of
the.p?op’e no v remiLda me of the days
of recession Wise and conservative
statesmen warm d the people that se
cession would precipitate civil war and
ire mceivable disasters upon the coun
try, but those who were bent on st cessi< n
gave no heed to the warnirg, denied
die statements as devices of fearful
minds, and hurried cn and over the
precipice. All know the Result. In
pr-cipuancy and unwise action this
period seems to rival that eventful
era.”
“ This action of the house on the silver
bill seems to have given an impetus to
tbe third party movement?”
“Yes, but the arrest o' the silver bill
- not an adequate justification < f tbe
defection from the Democratic party. I
w< 6 an earnest advocate of the silver bi J
was in onservance with
• ncient aoi^itne-honored Democratic
principles, mkt I realized what the third
party said beterl^he yi.te was taken,
namely, that it wouI4 only add about
•it) cents per capita t>,tbe currency
tlany pe- p!e do ndt know <4bat nearly
All the silver taken from American
mines is now utilized as mone^v that
he government purchases 4,500,00(1
unees per mouth and issues treasury
note' f- r its value, thus adding to the
oirculatit-n every year $50,000,000 or
more. We have already, therefore.
ie. Jr.y all the advantages that could Lc
lesired from the free coinage r cf si.yer,
11c 1 instead of the heavy and t umber-
some coin we have its equivalent in pa
per money.”
“It seems that the vote of the north-
rn democrats has greatly surprised
tad disappointed the people.”
‘Yes, thircy-six n -rthern and west-
ru d-mccrats voted for the bill and, I
regret to say, seveuty-two against it.
Bat‘they are not hostile to free 10.nag •;
they f ivor tbe coinage of both gold and
silver, but they voted against the coin-
ge of the present 6ilv t r dollar because
>t tho rate at which silver is now se 1-
ng in the markets of the world, the sil
ver in a dollar is worth 30 c.-nts less
than the gold in a gold dollar. Silver
c -iu, in their istim ition, would be de
preciated currency, and wou d sooner
r lat' r displace ail better money, both
of gold and of p iper redeemable in gold,
and effect a disastrous financial crisis in
tbe country. I do not think that their
reasoning was sound; but if it was
sound then-their votes were right, for
there is nothing which so damages busi
ness or defrauds the poor man of the
value of his labor or tae products of bis
labor as a drpreejated currency. Wit
ness tbe effect of confederate currency.
On the other hand the advocates of free
coinage believed that to remonetize sil
ver would so honor it in tbe markets as
soon to * place it and
gold on f quality in value.
There are speculative opinions on both
sides and nothing can demonstrate their
truth or falsity, but the experiment of
free coinage. But, however, the ques
tion m-iy be settled, there is, for reasons
which £ have stated, no great practical
relief in the free coinage of silver. Just
30 cents per capita is all that is claimed
for it and no one ought to desert bis
party for thirty pieces of copper. The
Third party people seem to be seeking
after the ideal in politics: if each man
does rot find things going jutt'to his
notion he kicko. He forgets that mil;
lions of other people, working on diff
erent lin^s, are animated" by the aame
feeling of interest and'Sentiment as him
self, and that collisions are unavoida
ble ; that the best governments and the,
most useful political parties are found. d
on concessions and compromises." So-'
ciety would stagnate and rot if men
were unanimous in their opinions aud
actions. We ought to allow differences
of opinion among Damccrats. 5 We can
not have things just as we want
them. Neither one of us
pan have as much sunshine, as much
rain, aa much hesltb, as much learning,
as much contentment and ease, as muen
pleasure, as much prosperity as he
want*, nor can any one oi us manage
our pr-vate business just as we desire.
Then why, in the name of comm-in
eeu»e, do we qu&jrel with fri> n Js about
differences of opinion, and expiot the
affairs 1 f a great government or a great
party to be-managed precisely to suit
our .notions? These remarks are not
addressed to the man who has failed in
everything he ever m dertook and now
thinks that he can instruct people how
all the great affairs of state ougut to be
managed. His cause is a hopeless one.
2J“But despite complaints, the Demo
cratic house has passed a measure
fraught with a great deal more relief to
the people than the free coinage c-f sil
ver. As I attempted to show ihe house
while the bill was pending, the
putting of wool upon the free
list anl ether reduction of the tariff
ited by the bill will save to
about one hundred and sev-
i;< liars annually, or
srs per. capita. Of
1 untie lu mbers, oulyone in
party members one in nine voted
against it. Which party has the best re
cord in behalf of r-.lief frr the people?
The bill to put cotton ties, bagging,cot
ton gins, etc., on the free list ha- also
passed the house, and other, similar
bills wilt passed in their turn. If
these measures are defea'rd in the sen
ate tbe blow will come from the party
which is being encouraged and aided
by d visions in tbe ranks of the Demo
cratic patty. The Thitd party, in mak
ing war on the Democratic party is, to
use an old adage, ‘cutting off its nose to
spite its face.”
“What do you think of the platform
of the third party ?”
u Oh, I haven’t time to speak of that.
I.suppose iuis like the platform to a
railway coach—made to get in on, bnt
not to ride on. One of iu planks has"
<n it the germ of a Russian despotism.
Wnenever the government owns all the
railroads and telegraph lines and con
trols the millions of employes engaged
in running these, it will have its hands
at the people’s throats and no change of
an administration, however detrimen
tal to the people, can ever be eff cted
without a bloody revolution. Borne de
ny that there is any provision in the
platform for back pay to union soldiers.
Bat the evidence is very clear that that
plank was in the platform when origi
uaTy accepted, and that, after
the convention adjourned, some
unauthorized hand with
drew it because of its offtnsivecess to
southern minds. For a tape-ridden
people, clamoring for relief of .buitben,
to invite the imposition of still -greater
burthen is a lamentable'instance of the
d iminance of political zeal and parti-
sanry ovi r the minds of men. It shows
how ready men are to bend their necks
to the yoke when pi c sion and prejudice
gain tho mastery of reason. However,
that is the method. I b -lieve, in which
all bsd governments have their origin.”
“Do you intend to be a candidate fer
re-ele *tim, Judge?”
“If the people in my district want
me, yes. 1 am doing the best I can for
them now. Gathering experience, with
tbe lapse of time every day that I re
main, the b- tter fits me for the service.
But my duty is here until the end of
the session, and I shall not be able,
therefore, to canvass the district for the
nomination.”
DEADLY DYNAMITE
Is Placed Under the Room of a Detec
tive,
Buchanan, Ga., April 19.—[Special ]
—An attempt was made to blow the
Loveless hotel up with dvnamite last
nfght, but owirg to the dynamite not
beiag fixed properly, the would-be as
sassin failed to accomplish his purpose.
Detective? Tripp and Johnson Head
occupy a room on the south side of the
hotel, on the third floor, and it was un
der this room that the dynam'to was
plaood. Tbe bomb exploded about 12
o’c’ock. No damage was done to the
building, except to tbe room occupied
by Detectives Tilpp and Head Some
weatherboarding on the outside was
torn off, and the window glass broke
011', and theplasteriDgin the room was
t ra loose and the lamp broken.
The parties were evidently new hands
at the business, as they did not confine
the dynamite, but jJgced it on tbe
ground.. There was twenty-one guests
t the hctel at the time of tbe explo
sion.
A crowd soon gathered on the scene.
Seirch was make for tbe would-be-
murJcrers, but no trace could be found.
The search was resumed this morning,
but was fruitless.
It is generally supposed here that the
dynamite was placed thereby some en
emy of Tripp’s, as tbe circnniBtances
show that he was tbe man whom the
dynamite was intended for. No one
knpws who is the perpetrator of this
dastardly df ed, but it is certain that if
the citizens of Buchanan could lay their
hands cn the right man, and if it conld
be proved beyend a doubt who plaoed
the bomb under the hotel, justice would
be meud out in short order.
RUN OVER AND KILLED.
A Lltt'e Boy Thrown Under a Wagon
and Crushed to Death. .
Litiionia, Ga., April 20.—There was

cial.]—Lvt night J. C. Patrick, who
lives seven miles from Jug Tavern, in
Jackson county, was awakened by a
sc ream from his little eleven-year-old
daughter, who was sleeping in an ad
joining room. On entering the roonp,
Mr. Patrick found ayoung negro named
Will Catithere, whom he had employed
on his farm. The brute had entered the
room at one of the windows and had
hold of the girl for the purpose
of rape. Mr. Patrick locked
the negro up fer safe keeping until
morning, but before morning he made
bis escape and was chased by a crowd
of armed men to a swamp near this
place. As soon as the news reached
here a large crowd surrounded the
swamp and captured tbe black rascal,
carried him to the court ground near
Mr. Patrick’s, where he confessed hi-
crime and was turned over to Sheriff
Collier, who stai ted with him to Jeffer
son ja.l. There were at the court
ground at least one hundred armed men
who wer$ longing to see justice done to
the black fiend, and it is the impression
that Sheriff Collier did not get to Jef
ferson with his prisoner.

TWO CHILDREN AND A GUN.
Fatal Resalts of Careless People Leav
ing Guns Lying Around.
Bloomington, Ind., April 20. — A
very sad accident has occurred at Har-
redsburg. John Chambers, aged 15
years, and Willie Daub, aged 12, were
playing in the house of Mr. Chambers,
when they discovered an old gun. They
took it to the wood shed and while
Chambers was examining it the gun
was discharged, and a ball went crash
ing through the brain of yonng Daub.
He died in about an hour, Jojm Cham
bers is almost crazy with grief, and
begs that he be shot too. The gun had
been abont the house for several years,
and no one knew it was loaded.
Two Children and a Pistol.
El Paso, Tex., April 20.—At Monto-
va, a small town ten miles north of El
Paso, Maunel Cabea, 4 years old, was
shot and instantij- killed by a playmate,
Jnan Valentine, aged 10. The boys had
been playing with an old pistol found in
a storage room, when the older boy
said: "I will kill yon." and • placed the
weapon to the little one’s head and poll
ed the trigger. The pistol was a double
action make, and, though rusty and
long "unused, the boy pulled hard enough
to cock and discharge it. The ball en
tered the little fellow’s head at the
bridge of his nose and came out at the
back of his head, killing him instantly.
Albany's Water Bonds.
Albany, Ga., April 20.—Albany has
held her third election" for the. issuing of
bonds for water works and sewefage.
In former elections the "for bonds "car
ried the day by small majorities, but
somehow there was some flaw-in the
legality of the election, but when the
clerks and managers took their places
in order to open the polls for anothe"
fight, Mayor Gilbert had seen well to i
that there was no fly in the lock. When
the polls closed the result was declared
as follows: For bonds 448, no bonds 2.
It required 237 to carry bonds.
