WHAT GOES ON DAY BY DAY Tha Gossip and News of Athens for Day Caught on the Fly by the Banner Reporters—Side* walk Echoes. Mr. J. P. Ebe-hart, of Oglesby, was in to see the Banner Tuesday. He is a red-hot Democrat, and is doing good service for the party in bis section. Tom Watson’s little book has made it. nppearanoe in this section. It is sought •Tier by the Third party men, but they will be terribly fooled wben they read it. M r. Spence, the revenue officer will not make permanent headquarters in Ath- , n$ as lie says the district has beendi* vided up and Clarke is in the lower corner of the district. Mr. Spence aays the illicit distillers are very thick up about Cornelia, and be has to keep a i lose look out for them. There is a probability of the Normal school being in session nine months in in the year in the future.' This school i- a great success and Athens should feel i roud of its being located here. There is no calculating the amount of good that will be accomplished through this school. Congress still on the Worid’e Fair Appropriations. WONT GIVE UP Will Not Come To Georgia.—It was stated in these columns that Editor Gantt, of the Columbia Register, had given up his position and would return u> Georgia. This is a mistake. He will continue in his position and will shell the woods for Democracy. 11 lo\ybi> Ur —Tom Dooley the street scavenger was given a cigar, but was not notified that the cigar bad a small loud of dynamite in it. Tom smoked the cigar for awhile and the dynamite burst id, The looks of Tom’s eves re minded the crowd of two full moons. He said that he wanted folks to stop their foolishness or Athens would have one of its best niggers to bury. Washington, Ang. 2.—A majority oi the Democrats in the house are making strong efforts to bring about a compro mise which the World’s Fair represent atives will accept and thus bring abont an adjournment of congress. The fighl baa been prolonged and other factor! lMside the original Fair issue have en tered into the situation, the chief ol which is that business interests demanc a speedy termination of the session. Several recesses of the house were taken with a view to reaching a harmo nious agreement. During these recesset abont forty of the Democrats assembled in the ways and means committee room. Both sides were represented, but many Democrats remained in the hall'of tb« house indifferent to the proceedings ol the conference. The World’s Fair representatives, who had not so far made any offers tc compromise, were in conference and called on to offer some propositions at a basis of agreement. The outcome is uncertain. One proposition is that an appropriation smaller than $5,000,000 be made, but then the sonthern men generally are against the principle of a government donation or a loan. The hour of the last recess has expired and apparently an agreement was al most as far away as ever, and no pro gress has been made toward collusion Everything is still in the air, and there is no prospect of reaching a vote.

Washington, Ang. 2.—The vice pres ident laid before the senate resolution for the appointment of a select commit tee of seven senators on the employment of Pinkerton detectives in local troubles. Mr. Sherman stated reasons why ho thought the question should not be ta ken up now. In the first place the house of repre sentatives bad already, in a very fair and dispassionate^ way, taken np the question and examined into the matter. Then the subject involved to some ex tent, the domuin of a sovereign state. The offense referred to in the resolution had originated in an old and well or dered community. BIG PLANET MARS. Atuma, Ga., July 2 —The receivers of the Richmond and Danville and Central roads, Mr. J.-ptha Rucke-, the recently appointed reoriver of the Ma con and Northern railroad, and Mr. N. K. Harris, president of the Macon and Northern roa' 1 , are each engaged ted-y In an effort to gain control of the Ma con and Northern road. it is pr. bable that before the matter ends that Judge W. T. Newman and Ju<’ge Emory Speer will be drawn into the difficulty. When the Central road went into th< hands of a receiver the Macon and Nor thern was beirg operated by tbeCen tral and the R chmond and Danville roads jointly. The receivers of the Danville and Cen tral appointed a board of control to cp orate the road and Mr. Harris was cho sen chairman of the road. When Mr. Rucker went to Athens to take cba’gt of the road as receiver, Mr H trris decliued to give him possession of it. He seemed, however, control of the Athens end of the line and has been op erating that while Mr. Hsu ris, as presi dent, has been operating the rest of the line. Today attorneys for Mr. Rucker will app ar before Judge Newman and ask him for an order compelling Mr. Harris to deliver the road to Mr. Rucker. Mi IIarris will have attorneys present wb< will object to such an order being is sued. It is thought that if Judg * Newman issues the order that an application will be filed btfore Judge Spetr asking bin; f) appoint Mr. Harris receiver of tbr toad. Attorneys for tbe Richmond and <C>anville in the city Tear that Judge Speer will sppoint tbe receiver or be will held tbat the road is practically ir the hands of the receiver of the Cen tral road. Two Young Men Weil Known Here Nearly Suffocated. A special from Macon to the Consti tution has the following, which is of in terest to Athens friends: Two newspaper men and one ex-leg islator had a narrow escape from death the Hotel Lanier last night or early this morning. It would have been a singular thing bad the newspaper men died from au overdose of gas and it is probable that was natural instinct winch aroused Messrs. E Ingtrsoll Wade and Butler The Macon Evening News, from what very nearly was their laet sleep. Messrs. Wade and Butler retired shortly after midnight. A gas jet in the passage just at their room door was left turned on, and abont three o’clook this morning Mr. Bntler around, hi - ale< py slumbering neighbor with the startling announcement that he was dying. Mr. Wade, who, today, says he was loth to awake from beautiful dreams of swe-t mu-ic and argelic forms, par cel v« d the danger at once and gave the alarm. The only inconvenience thev stiff r is a severe headache, but Mr. J. . Me Master, who rooms next door and who was only aroused with difficulty, is still suffering somewhat severely from the bad effects of an overdose of gas. THE ONLY ONE EVER PRINTED CAN YOU FIND THE WORD ? Wanting Green Goods.—In our quiet city where religion and good mor als are taught on every street corner, cm- would not think that that there are several who are willing and wanting to sell green goods to the unsuspecting In conversation with a gentleman who is on the inside of most of the wrong Suing on in our city, he said: “There are at least four or five men in the city of Athens who have sent to New York with money enclosed alter green goods. These men are looked upon as our best citizens, but are willing to turn a pen ny, provided, they don’t have to go to the cotton patch to turn it. Some of tlie parties have sent after the green goods, but would always rev. jive the re ply to come to New York and they would be accommodated.” Our inform ant says that some of them went on to Now York and have returned wiser but lig liter in the pockets. How long will these green goods men continue to pros per and tleece the hard earnings from our unsuspecting people? The Lick Telescope Is Making Some Valuable Revelations Just Now. Lick Observatory, Cal., Ang. 2.— The giant telescope presented to the University of California by James Lick iB making a record for itself during the present opposition of Mars. For several days observations of a most valuable character have been obtained by the Mt. Hamilton astronomers. The near approach of tne planet and its conse quent brilliancy and size at this time have enabled observers to utilize the full powers of the instrument, with most in teresting results. Drawings by all tho astronomers exhibit numerous changes in its principal characteristics since the celebrated sketch made by tbe Milanese astronomer, Schiaparelli. Many of his almost fanciful details are shown to to have no existence in reality. Nope of the so-called "canals” are doubled or "geminated, ” as he depicted them. DR- CARLTON TALKS About Judge Cobb, of Alabama. The discussion now going on at Wash ington concerning the charge of Tom Watson that Judge Cobb, of Alabama, was drunk during the Noyes- Kockwell case, is exciting a great deal of comment. Dr. II. H. Carlton, who was an inti-* mate acquaintance of Judge Cobb’s, says tbat the J udge is one of the most moral and upright men in the House; that for many years he was on the bench in Alabama, and that he is a man of very weak physical nature, requiring the use of a stimulant wben making a long speech. It turns out that Watson failed ignominiously to prove bis charges on Judge Cobb, and that be didn’t have the grit to name Crain, the liery Texan, as one of the drunkards. It is thought tne House will severely censure Watson for his utterances and his paragraph in his little book. A New vet of Stamp*. w \«h!Noton, Aug. 2.—Third Assist ant Postmaster General Hazon is pre- p.irmg the designs for a set of e, amp$ to be issued by the postoffice de partment in honor of the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America hy Colnmbns.

Chicago, Aug. 2.—An official call has been issued for a state meeting of tbe Illinois Knights of Labor at Springfield, August 9. The meeting will be an im portant one, from the fact that th- knights will decide which political party the order shall support iu tbe coming campaign. Matters of legislation will he discussed and the demands of organized labor will eceive dne * consideration. As . th< mights went into the Omaha conven tion, and local men have been active ir the People’s party movement, it is like ly that the party will receive their in- do lorsement. The Order of the Iron Hall. Indianapolis, Ind., Ang. 2.—The at torneye for the plaintiff in the suit for appointment of a receiver for T. D. Somerby, chief justice of tbe Iron Hall, have become convinced that his contin ued non-appearance means he is attempt ing to evade justice.

Aug. 2.—Those who pur ticipated in the disgraceful scenes at Homestead, after the surrender of th Pinkertons, on July 6, will be prose cuted for aggravated assault and bat tery, highway robbery, larceny, pocket picking and other crimes and misdt meanors. The work of securing th necessary evidence to couviot those en gaged in the assaults on the Pinkerton and robbery of the surrendered men hit been going on for some time and it i now so far advanced that information will be made in a few days and the im plicated persons will be arrested. Among them are several women, who were par ticnlarly aggressive daring the time the Pinkerton men ran the gauntlet and af ter it in taking the property of the men and hiding it. Assault and battery and receiving stolen goods will be charged against these women. The assanlt on the men was generally condemned by the the leaders of the strikers and especially by the Amalgamated Association, and they have aided in securing evidence against the persona engaged in the assault. There is no sympathy for them either in the Amalgamated Association or out of it, and at the time of the assault these cowards were reprimanded by those who were trying to secure a safe exit for the Piukertons. The Pinkerton agency will take part in those piosecn- tions, and has here a lot of their men who were assaulted and from whom iroperty was stolen. The attorney for he pi-oeecntion is preparing informa tion in theee cases, and as soon as they are completed warrants will be issued. Expecting m Break. Carnegie officials look for a break in the ranks of the strikers in a few days, and by the end of the week expect to be running full. About 100 depatios are on duty in and abont the mill and this number will be increased to 800 very shortly. Superintendent Potter reports that they are all armed and that enough gnus are now in the-mill to arm every man in the employ of the firm. Every precaution will be taken to protect the employes and if necessary force will meet force. A D. Ad air & McCarty Bros , Ferti lizers. f Successors to Adair Bros &Co.)

I have just returned home from an even ing at the play, or rather from visiting my friends, the Robinsons. Robinson, an amiable man except when his shoelace breaks, sat alone and glum in the study. His teeth were clinched, his face was pale and he stared hard at the fire. He welcomed me with an effort and then forgot me. He is a business man and 1 am not; so I concluded that stocks or debentures had fallen or risen (or what ever it is these things do to plunge those who know what they are in despair). I tried tbe drawing room and there found the two little girls crying, Mrs. Robinson on the couch, with her face to the wall. This was serious, and seemed to me to mean at least a “corner” in stocks. It was not stocks, however, my hostess told me from behind a handkerchief, it was Bobby. Had not her husband shown me “the letter?” Bobby is the heir, aged seven. I softly withdrew from the drawing room and re turned to Kobiuson, who, with trembling arm, handed me “the letter.” It was from the master of a school to which Bobby goes by train daily, except during the birdnest ing season, when other matters claim his attention. The letter read thus: He Offer Tom a Remedy which Insure* Safety to life of Mother and CMUU “MOTHER’S FRIEND Hobs Confinement Of tfa rain, Horror and Bitk. Amns Gaos. Lamar, Mo.. Jan.

AT FREDA’S GRAVE. Alice Mitchell Stops on Her Way to the Asylum. Menphis, Tenn., August 2.—The last scene in the famous Alice Mitchell case was enacted today wben the insan? murderess was conveyed to the insane asylum at Bolivar, Tenn. Before leav ing the city the carriage containing the prisoner halted at" the Mitchell resi dence, where Alice toyed a moment, with a couple of cats, then threw them away petulantly with, ‘ Ob, you can go; dont love you any more.” Reaching Freda Ward’s grave in Elm wood cemetery Alice and her father and mother alighted from th6 carriage Alice said nothing, but evidently was under strong emotion. Her meditatioi. was not interrupted by other member, of the party She moved around tb little mound and eyed it with eyeS wid»- open, an occasional tear dropping o her jpheeks. She stooped over and plucked some flowers which she placet 1 "astcfu ly, and with a steady eye, thei she announced she was ready to Teturr. Tbe sojourn at the grave did not las; more than ten minutes, after which th party continued on its way. THE FIGHT IN THE SECOND. Stevens Claims His Nomination to be Assured. Dawson, Ga., August 1.—Hon. O B. Stevens says that bis nomination for congress from this district by the demo oratic convention, which meets in Al bany on the 17th, is now assured. Tbe re*urns so far in give him Col quitt, Miller. Early, Thomas, TerreH, Randolph, Clay, Quitman and Worth, making him certain of twenty vote?, which nominate. Every one of these counties were carried by Stevens, so his friends claim, on the days of their reg ular action, and they say that any other ac’ion is in violation of demccratic precedent and is entirely irregular. However, a contest will be made from some of these counties, and there seems to be no doubt but that tbe Albany con vention will split with twonomintt’ens, the opposition to Stevens refusing to acoept the situation, and Stevens refus ing to yield what he claims to be his rights. How tbe Engagement Was Broken. "Where are my suspenders, maw? shrieked a Jefferson avenue belle to her mother across the cp stairs hall. “Your father borrowed them while mended his,” was the answer. “I can’t find my four-in-hand tie.” "Your brother Tom wore it last night— yon will find it in his room.” “But, maw, where’s my silk yachting shirt?” —“Algy wire it to the regatta.” There was a brief silence.' Then the voice wailed across theliall again: “Maw, I can’t find my riding trou- s-e-r-a.” “Charles has them on,” was the re sponse. Then a tired looking young man who hiul been waiting unannounced in the hall below rose and softly stole away. “She might want my boots next,” he said wearily, and no one knows why that engagement is off.—Detroit Free Press. Dear Sir—I regret to have to apprise yon of tbe fact that I had today to cane yonr son severely. Ho is tho youngest boy I have ever caned, bnt his delinquencies have of lato been so frequent tbat no other course was open to me. This communication will doubtless cause you pain, bat the punishment will have a bene ficial effect not only on him, but on the other boys of his age, whose leader in mischief he has been. They will no longer make a hero of one whom they have seen publicly chastised. The disgrace of the punishment. Indeed, is greater than the punishment itself. That Robert may feel his shame more keenly I have read this letter to him, and he shall be the bearer of it to yon. “And where is Bobby at present?” I asked, when I had read this terrible letter. “Crying his eyes out in the nursery, no doubt,” auswered Robinson. “Of course I should have him here, bnt I can’t face him —I can’t face him. I don’t blame his mas ter, but— My dear friend, think of itl The youngest boy ever caned iu the school! The marks won’t wear off his hands for a week, and think of his agony of mind every time be looks at them! Bobby is a sensitive boy, otherwise I should not take it so much to heart. My hands, I assure you, are tingling as if I had been caned myself.” Mrs. Robinson was for tbe moment not on speaking terms with Robinson, because he seomed to think that Bobby should con tinue to go to “such a school.” If Bobby bad misconducted himself, surely the blame lay with a master who did not un derstand that be was a boy who could best be ruled by kindness. She had never had tbe least trouble with Bobby. No, he was not in .the house. He had ran out imme diately after delivering the letter, and she had searched for him everywhere in vain. His pride had been broken. He would never bo the same boy again. He was afraid to be looked at. He was no doubt hidden somewhere in the cold night, and he had not even on his greatcoat and he would catch his death of cold. “If he does, mamma,” asked the older girl, brightening, “will the master be hanged? And, oh, do you think we could get tickets?” The night was dark, so we lit a lantern and set off to look for the unhappy Bobby. At last we found him—in Mr. Mackinnon’s stable. We looked through crevices in the woodwork and this is what we saw: Bobby in tremendous spirits was the center of a group of envious and admiring youths, some of them school fellows, others ragged lads of the village. If they began to brag Bobby stopped them short with, “That isn’t nothing; you didn’t never get caned.” “Yes, I did, though,” insisted one. "Let jne $ee your hand,” retorted Bobby. “Oh, Uol he won t, and ’cause there’s not no marks on it.” “Let us see your bands again, Bobby.” Bobby held out his hands as proudly as if they contained a diamond. “By gunil I say, Bobby, come and play with me tomorrow.” 'Let mo walk beside you, Bobby, and I’ll give you my crossbow. It’s broke, but” “Bobby, I’m tho one you like best, ain’t I?” “I’m the youngest lie ever licked 1” cried Bobby in a transport of delight. He began to strut up and down the stable. “Well, then, you needn’t bounce about it like that.” “I’m tbe youngest he ever canedl So would you bounce if you was the young est he ever caned.” “But, Bobby”- 1 — “Look here, you chaps,” broke in the hero of the day, “I amn’t not to be called Bobby any more. You’ll have to call me Robinson now. He called me Robinson when he caned me.” “Gum!” “And, what’s more, I’m the youngest he ever” The other Robinson here retired with a hopeless look on his face. Mrs. Robinson seemed less humbled. I came home re flecting.—J. M. Barrie in Harper’s Maga zine. Haw It I* Regarded at the Delaware Experiment Station. Tho cultivation of scarlet clover, or crimson clover as it 1b more usually named, is receiving much attention in Delaware, and the experiment station of that state has issued a bulletin on the subject from which it appears that many persons entertain erroneous ideas hi regard to the plant. As described in a station bulletin soar- let clover is an annual. About the first week in June it can be expected to ma ture a crop of seed from sowings made during the preceding July, August and September. If pastured in the early spring it renews its growth, in part at least, and matures at the usual time. A May sowing attempted once at the sta tion gave a very heavy growth during the following fall, bnt no blossoms ap peared, and the plants were destroyed during the winter by a fungus harbored under the excessive forage. It is a rank grower at one stage of its development; stools to an unusual degree when oppor tunity offers; attains oftentimes to a height of two feet; is characterized by a brilliant scarlet blossom; will easily yield per acre eight tons of green fodder SCARLET OB CRIMSON CLOVES, if cut between the 5th and 10th of May; roots to a depth of four feet even in un favorable sods, and for silage hay or to plow down for green manure compares well under favorable conditions with any leguminous crop. In comparison with ordinary red clover its most marked peculiarities are (1) its ability to flourish on relatively poor soils; (2) its development daring the fall, winter and spring. Growing at a time of the year when most of onr foul weeds are iu seed, it escapes one danger and, provided with au unusually well devel oped root system, it finds sufficient food when the red clover would be on half rations. As it grows when wheat and even rye 6eem dormant, it cannot be seeded with winter grain. One or the other crop would be destroyed. As it is in blossom on or abont May 1 it can be used for many other purposes than those usually served by red clover, particular ly for soiling and for plowing down iu place of rye. European writers mention five varie ties of this clover differing essentially from each other in their relative powers to withstand winter weather. It is said the Delaware type of scarlet clover has stood low temperatures when seeded upon any proper soil in that state. Ju*t the Place. Glad to Get Home. His.linen coat he dons today.

Blood Balm Company : My Dear Sirs: I take great pleasure in acknowledging the great benefit my wife derived from your great and won derful medicine, B. B. B. For two years she was a great sufferer from scrofula, or some blood disease whioh bad lain dormant all her life; we bad attention from some of tbe most skilled phy.-icians in tbe oonn- i SCROFULA tr y* bat a11 to no effect* until we had despaired of her recovering. Her mouth was a solid ulcer and for two months or more her body was broken out with sores until she lost a beautiful head of bair, also her eye-lashes and eye-brows. In fact she seemed to be a complete wreck. Now comes the great secret which I want all the world to know, and that is that three bottles of Blood Balm medi cine has done the work, which would sound incredible to any one who did not know it to be so. To-day my wife is perfectly healtby and clear from any scrofulous taint, and she now has a three-months old babe also perfectly healtby. Very respectfully, H. L. Cassidy.
