He is Not Eligible to a Seat in Congress New York, Oct. 20.—General Isaac B. Catlin, nominated for congress by th Democrats of the third district, has de clined.

The Augusta Chronicle of yesterday publishes a report from Stellaville, Ga., whioh is given the words of Tom Watson to seven or eight hundred of his followers. Watson is evidently in the last ditoh, and knows now that he is beaten. The story in the Chronicle is not hearsay, but comes straight from one who was present and heard Watson say the things ascribed to him. Let those that worship at the shrine this little tin god, read these wordsi pause, reflect, and ask themselves- if they Bhould blindly follow a man who openly advocates the use of the dagger a means of political triumph. The dispatch to the Chronicle is as follows: Noah, Ga., Oct. 18, 1892.—Watson is getting desperate. There were about 700 or 800 Third party men and women present at Stellaville; about one-third the crowd was from Burke county. His speech was very incendiary. He told his followers that they must elect him at all hazards; that the whites most sharpen up their knives and arm the colored people and carry them to the polls. If a Democrat comes in be tween to use him up and see that no one intimidates them. They are making the negroes take solemn obligations to support Watsoft. He said in the winding np of his speech that Black and Boykin Wright met the Republican executive com mitteeof Augusta, and bought them up and bribed them to support their ticket.

The prevailinglow prices in the Uniter States, he asserted, are not the result of the McKinley law, but have been brought about by large crops and labor- saving machines. Tlie foree hill and the southern ques tion were also discussed by the speaker, who denounced the former as an iniqni tous measure. A SYNDICATE OF WRITERS. Mr. S.

Splendid Work on IParmlng is Offered Them. Editor Banner: A thousand thanks te onr New York friends, Messrs. Peter Henderson & Co. Two years ago they honored "The Farmers Club of Clarke County” with a present of all their publications—a small library—the brain work of that grand man, Peter Hender son deceased. The sons of the same again present us with two hun dred copies of their "Farmer’s Man ual”—filled with suggesions in regard to cultivation of grasses, clover and garden products. A copy of said Man ual will be given each farmer in Clarke oonnty, who will call at Banner office, or who will enclose by mail one cent for postage. This Manual is worth one hundred times its weight in gold to the fanners of our county and Northeast Georgia. It is in troth a text-book for our farm ers and gardeners. Suoh generous ac tion on the part of our New York fiiends should be and will he kindly remembered. We cordially commend Peter Hen derson & Co. to each and every farmer in Northeast Georgia. Through grass culture, olover culture, or both combined on same land, through special mixtures of grass and clover seed, we can only hope for prosperity in agriculture. As the Manual is free to all of our farmers, we expect a rush for the Ban ner office during the next ten days. Faithfally yours, Edwin D. Nxwfiui. dered inspiring music. At 10 o’clock General C. W.
