FOR THE DEPOT-
COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO
LOOK INTO THE MATTER.
THE REGULAR MEETING
THE OLD SOUTH.
A Notable Book by Thomas Nelson
Page—An Appeal to History.
Of the City Council Monday After
noon—Some of the Actions of that
Body-Several Important Mat
ters Passed Upon.
The City Fathers met Monday after
noon at the council chamber and did
some good work.
Among other thing) done by the
Council was a step in the right direction
concerning the Union pisaengar depot
question.
Alderman Dorsey brought the ques
tion before the Council and it was re
ferred to the railroad committee with
power to act.
This committee will at once enter into
communication with the railroad au
thorities and see what can be done to»
wards securing the new depot.
There is every reason in the world to
believe that if the right kind of work is
done the depot will be secured. And as
the railroad committee of the counci]
ate the right kind of men, they will do
the right kind of work. A communica
tion from the national board or firs
underwriters of New York was receiv
ed. It was addressed to thelccriboard
and contained several recommendations
as to imyrovements in our department,
etc.
] The communication was received and
the clerk ordered to write them that
those improvements would be made as
fast as possible.
The street committee reported the
streets in good condition.
Then the light question came up and
after the customary discussion upon
this subject, it was decided to withhold
the light rents until the lights ordered
some tine since by Council are put in
Under the power granted the city in
its charter, the Mayor and Aldermen
O'Farrell and Talmadge were appoint
ed as a committee to examine into the
returns >J personal property and to act
as an equalizing board.
On petition of Mr. W, A. Jester the
assessment on his Clayton 6treet build
ing was reduced from four to three
thousand dollars.
Mr. R. B. Russell appeared in behalf
of the E’cc'ric Street Railway Compa
ny and asked council
to exempt the Company
from payment of the specifio tax. Re
quest granted for one year and recom
mendation that next Council do same.
Police powers were conferred upon
Sexton W. A. England at the cemetery
without any salary.
The Council then adjourned after
bearing reports and ordering bills paid.
MR. COWAN’S TENT SERVICES
Closed on Sunday Night—A Large
Crowd Were In Attendance.
r On Sunday last Rev. S. J. Cowan held
services pretty well all day at his tent
the meeting closing with the services on
Sunday night.
A great many conversions and recla
mations have resulted from his labors
in this city, and especially did success
attend his work in East Athens. We
have no means of knowing how many
have been converted, nor of the good
accomplished by the quickening of
church members.
Mr. Cowan has many devoted friends
and admirers in this city who will ever
hold him in love and veneration.
On Monday when the tent was taken
down a committee of ladies volunteered
to assist in mending the broken places
in the canvas, so that it might be all
right for services when the evangelist
commences work again.
We learn that after a resting spall Mr.
Cowan will hold a series of meetings in
South Carolina.
BLAIRSVILLE.
A Sunday School Will be Organized In
This SuburD.
On Sunday afternoon Rev. T. O.
Rorie preached at the residence of Mrs
Heard just beyond Blairsvi’le. The
service was a good one, and a nice con
gregation was in attendance. We learn
that religious services will frequently
he held in this part of the oity.
At this service the propriety of a
Sunday school in that vicinity was dis
cussed, and it was determined to estab
lish one. WEP* 1
CTbe place selected for the school is
the former storeroom of Mr. R. G
Daniel, at the intersection of Lumpkin
street and Milledge avenue. Mr. J. S-
King has been placed in charge as su*
perintendent, and with a faithful corps
of teachers to assist in the work, no
doubt this school will be the instrument
of great good.
We learn that the organization of the
school will be perfected next Sunday
afternoon at 3:30 o’clock at the above-
mentioned room. Let all interested be
present on the occasion.
SPLIT WIDE. OPEN.
A Bolt of Lightening Strikes a Negro
l Splitting His Head Open.
it was a ghastly-sight that tome of
the passengers cn the G. G. & N. rail
road witnessed yesterday. A negro ly
ing bn the ground with bis head split
wide open, the work of a bolt of lighten
ing a few minutes before.
Harty Chandler was working in his
field, hoeing cotton, not thinking of
danger when the lightening’s stroke
ended his career.
Some passengers on the G. C. & N.
saw him after he was dead, and said
that it seems that the bolt struck him
on top cf the head, splitting the skull
n. 1
This is a book that will test the tern
par of the time. A sufficient period has
elapsed since the war for reason to re
assert its authority, and for candor to
oprnto the world the truth cf Imtory.
If this book shall be received with re
spect and judegd with fairness, it is not
in vain to hop* that that a national
spirit will return to the country, and
patriotism will emerge from the narrow
confines of prejudice The g eat
apostle, after his defense of Christianity,
being judged with faltering jus
tice, appealed to Csesar, and
through him to the centuries.
The old South, judg d with feeble sense
in her own enviroment, appeals to the
world, and through it to posterity.
This is the lofty challtrif e contained id
an unpretentious volun • if 300 pages.
It is the bill of exception* which carries
the case of a great bat contemned civi-
izntion from the narrow j idgment of a
biased tribunal to the great court of his
tory where narrowness and prejudice
are disbarred, and nothing but evidence
is needed to establish the truth.
The bringing of this case will be
hailed with delight by every true man
in what is called “the New South.”
The issue having been made, cannot be
evaded. It is fortunate that Mr. Page,
who makes it in this book, has the ear
t f the public, not only in this country,
but beyond the sea, where men of our
own blood, with sentiments closely
allied to these of the civilization which
is now on trial, will observe the issue
and await the evidence. The case hav
ing been opened, there need be no fear
of the result, for there i3 that in the
truth which will prevail, whether
judged by the philosophy of an over
ruling providence, or by the later theo
ry of the survival of the fittest.
Recurring to details, Mr. Page’s book
consists in the main of addresses and
essays relative to the life of the old
South, its sources, inspiration, senti
ments and history, with a powerful,
if not startling statement of the circum
stances which demand a true history of
the circumstances which demand a true
history of the Southern people. The
first chapter in an address on the old
Scuth, delivered several years ago at
Washington and Lee University. The
fifty pages of this chapter blaze with
the light of history, and with the sixty-
odd pages of the last paper on “The
Negro Question,” they contain probably
more of the real facts of Southern his
tory than will be found compressed in
to so small a. compass elsewhere. It is
very satisfactory to find, not bare state
a ents, but a solid buttress of authorities
and records, the credibility of which
willhardly be disputed by intelligent
people. The author goes back to the
first settlement of the country and
shows the sources of life
in the Southern colonies, and
in pescribing the cavalier on the eas
tern side of the Alleghanies, he does not
forget the other stream of life which
fi >wed down the we -tern side of the
Appalachian chain from Virginia to
Georgia, different in origin and differ
ent in religion, but alike resolute in the
maintenance of civil and rel’gious lib
erty. V rginia’s record cn the ques
tion of slavery, when compared with
that cf Massachusetts, would surprise
the foreign writers, who, like the au
thor of the article on “American Liter
ature” in the Encyc’opedia Britannica.
allude to this part of the country as
“degraded to the level of Mexico or the
Antilles.” Mr. Page’s review of the
history of that question is on the same
line with a notable address delivered by
General Henry R. Jackson btf >re the
Young Men’s Library Association of
A*lan>a last November, in which the
si >v-> trade was compared with slavery
it-elf as seen in the Southern states.
On this subject Mr. Page speaks almost
entirely of Viiginia and Massachusetts.
In rifening to the
Virginia act of October,
1788, prohibiting the further importa
tion of slaves ss “giving to the world
the first example of an attempt by leg
islative enacti sent to destroy the slave
trade,” be mu st have overlooked what
was substantially the same thing at an
earlier date, namely, the action of the
Georgia trustees some forty years be
fore, prohibiting the introduction of
slaves into this State. While it was not
strictly legislative action, it was the ac
tion of the governing body, which had
the full sympathy and support of Ogle
thorpe. And it may be here remarked
that this action had a profound influ
ence upon the life of this c olony, post
poning its prosperity and settlement
lor some years, and to some extent
changing the character cf the popula
tion.
In his chapter on social life before I he
war, Mr. Page draws a charming
picture. This chapter has been
published heretofore as a maga
zine article, and some pi's'gos
ot it, gems of discription,
have been much quoted. That
which p’etures the mistress
of the ante-b<llum mansion is psiticu
lai ly gratifying to those who occasion
ally hear flippant remarks by igiorant
people to the effect that the women of
the old time were scf .useless creatures,
amiable and attractive, bat good for
nothing in household matters.
Since the term, “New South,” has
been current and popular, it is the
fashion with those who do not under
stand it to speak of the old South as
something blotted from the face of the
earth, without a natural successor, and
deserving of none. It is gratifying to
see the masterly skill with which Mr.
Page dispels this illusion, showing on
clusively that the New South in every
thing that makes it esteemed is thi
scion cf the old. He does not go into
particulars, bat makes it plain from the
nature of the ease. By way of evidence
it is inter, sting to no'eaf-iw facts, for
examble, that the leading iron man of
Birmingham, Mr. Seddon, is the
son of James A. S iddon, the conf-nler-
ate secretary cf war, and that nearly all
the middle-aged men in Atlauta and
Birmingham who guide the great en
terprise ar 3 ex-col federate soldiers—
men of the old South. Such a man
built the EnBley furnaces at Birming
ham and Sheffield, anch men built our
blocks of brick and mortar, while bri
gadier generals build and run onr rail
roads. In the ceweapitolof Georgia,
the grandest architectural monument to
the enterprise ot the new south, the
names oi the building commission are
inscribed cn a bronze tablet all of them
are confederate soldiers, and two are
brigadier generals, while a third com
manded a battery within sight of the
building. Thus the old South lives and
leads in the new south, and is p'rt and
pai eel ofit, rising gr.,nd y abovo the
fortunes of war The south is new as
tbe grass is new upon the everlasting
hills, sad this old earth is young again
with each young day.—W. G. Cooper

GEORGIA FACTORY'.
improvements Going on In the Village
Church and Schools-
The writer of this piragraph spent
part of the day in this thriving village
last Sabbath. The town is unler muni
cipal government now and the strictest
order is observed. M any new and tatty
cottages have recently been built, and
there is a general air of prosperity about
tbe place.
Tbe carpenfc r and the painter have
greatly beautified the little church
building anl further improvements are
still going on. A handsome pulpit
will soon take tbe place of the
chair and table, which has heretofore
been used. The tremulous tones of a
sweet-toned organ are now heard in
the song service of tbe S tbbath school
and on preaching occasions.
At the Sunday school the children
were out in large numbers. Perhaps
125 persons were present at the school
last Sunday, and we learn that this
was about the average attendance The
school seems in a very fl lurishing con
dition.
A good congr gation filled the church
st the preaching service, and the mani
fest presence of the Holy Spirit was re
alized.
Rev. W. S. Morris is the paster of the
Methodist church. He is much beloved
by his people, and is a faithful minister
cf tbe Gospel.
Miss Cleo You-g, an accomplished
young lady has chargo* the day school
where she has taught for years. She
is very popular with parents and pupils,
and is very successful as a teacher.
Georgia Factory in common with
other localities has bad an ep'demic of
measles, and the disease has been quite
fatal, causing the death of a number of
children. We a-e glad to learn, how
eeer, that the disease is not as bad as it
has been, and it is hoped that it will en
tirely disappear from the community in
a short time.
THE TAX EQUALIZERS.
The Session of the Board Yesterday.
The Board of Tax Equal r zers met
yesterday at the court house.
There came beft re the b lard some
thirty-five or forty cues, where the
Lind was raised in its assessment value.
These cases came mostly from the
country.
A groat many people have gotten an
idea that this is the work of Tax-
Receiver Sims, when as a
matter of fact it is the work of the
General Assembly of Georgia and the
Board is but the c Ulcers to carryout the
law.
The Board will hold several more
sessions before completing its work in
equalizing the taxes of Clarke county

ing.
The stockholder’s meeting of tbe
Soutbtin Mutn-1 Insurance Company
was bell Tuetdiy mrrniug at ihe in
surance building on the corner of Col
lege Avtnae and Clayton street.
The rejoit of the company showed
i hit during tie year put tbe receipts
had amounted to $247,713 and the losses
to $97,009.
The company declared a dividend of
68 per cant, which was very fine, con
sidering the fact that tbe past year has
been one of very disastrous fires. This
fifty-eight per cent represents the net
profits that are returned to the policy
holders.
The market value of tie assets of the
company ou May 1st was $932,000, and
the company has a net surplus of $600,-
000 oyer and above all indebtedness or
liability.
It is a matter of general interest to
know that the time fixed by
the decree cf the court
in which the distribution of a portion
of the reserve fund was to be made,
Las now expired, t nd the distribution
account has been closed up.
The company is not increasing its
reaeive fund, but pays its profits back
to the policy hil lers, keeping the re
serve fund at about one million dol

AN ATLANTA REAL ESTATE MAN
Says That Athens utrt Is the Best In
vestment he Knows Of.
Yesterday a Banner reporter had a
talk with an Atlanta real estate dealer
He thinks that tbe average Athenian
does not realize what a grand future
lies out be fore the C'a’sic City. It has
always been a popular place, owing to
its educational and social
advantages, but with the completion
of the railroads now giving us
two grand trunk lines, thus making it
a commercial mart equal to any in the
State, rod with the prospect cf an in
crease in manuf actories and other en
teryrises of like character open up:
prospect cf future growth anl pros
perity which makes Athens one of the
most desirable business points in the
S iutb. This Atlanta man r ferred to
friend of his, a prominent and wide-a
wake real estate dealer, who said if he
had $60,000 to invest, he would put the
last cent of it in Athens dirt, as he con
riders this the very Lest investment t’.at
could be made.
He referred to another real estate
man of the Gate City who has the mat
ter under consideration of chatig r-ghis
location and casting his lot with the
people < f the Classic City, as he c in
siders it one of the best business points
in the S'ate, and had great faith in its
future. He also considers Athens dirt
as the safest and most relitb’e invest
menthe knows of.

MR. COWAN’S MEETING.
A Card from Mr. J H. Huggins on that
Subject
Editor Banner :—Ii your v<*ry com
plimentary and otherwise satisfactory
Dotioe of Bro. Cowau and his tent
meeting, which has just closed, you
stated that you had no way to ascertain
how many converts there were during
his meetings while in Ath< ns. This is
tru', sn 1 none but God knows, but the
writer having been very regular in at-
t -ndance both on Hancock avenue
and in East Athens, and
having kept a vjry close observation in
both plao >s is able to firm an estimate
of what had every in lic stion of being a
nw birth. la my hon st judgment
there were over four hundred souls
born ot God while Rev. Cowan was
w'th us. Many whole families were
made happy in tbe erection of an al’ar
to God, and accessions to nearly every
church in Athens. S. J. Cowan is a
man of Gad, zealous cf good works ard
full of the Holy Ghost. I have never
under any circumstances attended a
revival of religion where the power of
God wasso minif- stas ini he tent meet
ings in Athens within the
past two months and I tbir.k the secret
cf tuc whole matter i< that when God
te'ls Bro. Cowan to do ai ything he has
n at got a bit Setter sense than to do it,
r<gardiessof anytbi g and he takes
Him to mean just what He says and
when he p.ays f .r anything he quotes
G id’s prinise and ho’.ls Him to it with
the same faith that a little ch'ld does a
truthful father, and God loves to con
sole such prayers and d es answer
them. I fe’t .t my
duty to make a statement concerning
the success of the meeting here, as it
miy recommend Bro. Cowan in his
future fields of labor, and I know with
the hearty support of all the people, be
is calculated to do even a great -r work,
with God as his captain, than he did
here. Vary truly yours,

Atlanta, Ga, June 7 —The State
prohibition convention is in session in
Atlanta today.
Although nothing of importance de-
veleped during the morning session, it
seems to be the purpose of tbe conven-
t’o i to put out a State ticket with J B.
Huuicuttor J. B.Culpepper as its head,
arid to elect delega'es to thenatioral
prohibition convention, which meets in
Cincinnati on July 30
W- B. Hill, of Macon, would have
been the candidate for governoi, but a
tdigram was received from him sayirg
that under no condition would he ac-
the nomination.
The convention is in f ivorof national
prohibition. As Sam Jones expresses
* For everything against liquor and
against everything that is for liquor ”
SAM SMALL FOR CONGRESS.
The sensation of the day developed
just after tbe adjournment of the con
vention.
Thirty-seven represertitives of the
Fifth congressional district got to

gress and 8wallowed the Ooala plat
form in its entirety.
Piofessor Scomp, of Oxf >rd, presi

BANKS IS DEMOCRATIC.
The Third Party Apostles Wilt Not
Meet DemcCratic Orators-
Buhhvili.k, Banks Cj., June 1.—
[Sptcial j—The D mocra'io c ub in this
district continues to grow at a rapid
rate.
O *ly a few weeks ago Chairman J. S.
R obey called tbe citizens of the dist rict
together for the purpose cf < rganiziog
a Dan oarxtic club. Oi th-i first day
about thirty met and or.rolled their
names. The club has met on each Sat
urday evening sires, and has now en
rolled one hundred and thirty-eight of
the leading citizens of the district out
of ab mt one hundred at d forty white
voters in tbe district.
Last Saturday the club extended an
invitation to tbe Tbird p ,rty of this
place to meet them in joint
discussion on today.
It being regular meeting of the Al'i-
ance, about ten Third party men were
present, but refused to enter iu any
jointof debate. They gave as their rea
son, that the Democrats would BOt act
fair; that they would tr.ke advantage
of them beoause it was in their meet
ing, notwithstanding thfcy were offered
equal time and a fair showing in every
repect. The truth i«, none of the Tbird
partyites wished to defend tbe wrong
side of so great & question.
The demc orats then entered into the
regular busiuesa of the club,after which
several voices call d out
“Goode! Goode I” R -v. J. S. Goole
of Franklin county then took the floor
and for one hour spoke f or Democraoy
All he said was true and acknowledged
to be so by all p -esent. No Third p irty
man in Georgia could have disputed one
word of the sound argument ho offeio 1.
Oil Banks will give a Democratic
majority and Bushville certainly wil
by ten to one. The club will continu:
to meet on Saturday at 4 p. m. Every

Another Tune.
Little Sam had come from the country
to visit his aunt in the city. On the day
after his arrival an organ grinder came to
the door. Sam ran in search of his aunt,
that she, too, might hear the music. She
followed him back to the door and
him a nickel.
“Put that in the plate on top of the or
gan,” she said, “and the man will play an
other tune.”
Sam did so and again enjoyed the music.
The next Sunday his aunt took him to
church. During the offertory the organist
played a most beautiful selection. Ram
had. never heard an organ in church before,
and being a musical little fellow he quiv
ered all over with enjoyment.
His aunt gave him a nickel, and whis
pered that when the gentleman who was
taking the collection came np he must put
it in the plate. Sam dropped the five cent
piece in with a great clatter, and looking
np into the gentleman’s face with a bright
smile said, in the politest voice imaginable,
and quite audibly:
“Please, sir, that is for another tune.”
Smiles seemed to be contagions in that
neighborhood just then. In fact, without
meaning it, Sam had given pleasure to a
considerable number of persons.—Youth’s

Varieties Tried Last Season acd Reported
Upon by The Rural New Yorker.
The varieties tested were Shropshire
Hero, Heroine, Mayor. Admiral, New
Dwarf Prolific aud Knit's Excelsior. All
were planted April 1. Following are
notes made concerning them:
Shropshire Heio—Vinos by 8 feet:
vigorons like those of Stratagem: large
leaves; extra large pods; abont eight
large seeds to the pod. Prolific,inter
mediate.
Heroine—Vinos not quite so tall as
Shropshire Hero: same foliage: matures
same time: pods us large; bolter filled;
seeds large; equally prolific. It is of
the Stratagem order.
Mayor—^Vines 2% feet; ripens after
Heroine and Shropshire Hero two or
three days; pods medium sized, not well
filled.
Admiral—It may be said for this that
it bears for a long time, the later pods
being exceptionally well filled, so that
the pod is crowded as the catalogue il
lustrations are often made to appear:
the pods, though under size, often hold
eight small sized seeds; vines five feet
tall, branching and thi-ifty. It may fur-

dwarf pea. Vines very bushy and branph
ing eighteen inches tall. It was at its
fullest bearing July 19. Vines full of
peas, polls medium to small, generally
well filled, about six to a pod. Seeds
vary from small to medium, and large.
Vines uniform as to size—no rogues. The
most prolific dwarf we have seen. For
a second planting or fall pea it may
prove valuable.
Nott’s Excelsior is reported as the best
of the early dwarf wrinkled peas. Vines
eighteen inches, more productive than
Wonder or Little Gem. As early as
Alaska or very nearly. Pods fair size,
averaging six seeds of fair size.
To give measureable values to the tri
als of new peas it is of course necessary
to cultivate standard varieties under the
same conditions for comparison. No at
tempt of this kind was made last sum
mer, but it is stated, as a matter of judg
ment, that the preference is given to
Heroine and Shropshire Her-o over any
similar intermediate wrinkled pea previ
ously tried, while Mayor, for a some
what later pea, is worthy of trial.
To Rid Poultry of Lice.
Kerosene ointment is often recom
mended in the poultry journals as a
remedy for lice. As many readers dp
not know just what kerosene ointment
is, we give the following abstract from
a report of the Michigan state hoard of
agriculture:
Kerosene ointment maybe made by
simply mixing kerosene and lard or, bet
ter, kerosene and sulphur. This oint
ment is excellent to rid poultry of lice.
It should be kept In a closed can in a
poultry house, and in the summer the
roost poles should often be rubbed with
the ointment. An old rubber or leather
glove makes this an easy and not un
pleasant task. After the poultry are on
the roosts some of this ointment should
be placed under the wings, about the
breast and legs, once in four or five
weeks in the late summer. If, in addi
tion to this, yon frequently spray the
house and yard when the fowls are out
with diluted crude carbolic acid, and
whitewash the house once a year, you
will not only have a neat house but
healthy birds, if the other requisites are:
provided. Chickens ought to be a very
profitable adjunct to every farm and will
be if the above suggestions are carried |
out and the birds well housed and fed.
