dressed to the Business Manager.
THE VICTORY IS OURS-
The voice of the nation has been
heard and it proclaims as the choice
of the people, Grover Cleveland, of
New York, for President, and Adlai
E. Stevenson, of Illinois, for Vice
President.
It was a glorious battle in which
principle has triumphed over corrup
tion, and honesty has achieved a sig
nal «ictory over boodle.
The campaign of education has
worked will; the people have been
thinking deeply upon the great issues
of the day; and they have put the
seal of their condemnation upon the
policy of tariff taxation that robs the
laaescs of their earniEgs in order to
enrich the few and that other policy
of Federal interference which finds
its logical conclusion in Force bill
legislation.
The result should not be a sur
prise to those who have managed the
Republican campaign. They
shrewd, far-seeing men, and must
have read the hand-writing ou the
wall that delivered to them the mes
sage Iresh from the hearts of the
American people that their party
Lad been weighed in the balance and
had bren found wanting.
The defeat of Harrison and Reid
is but the result of a determination
on the part of the American people
to rule thiB country, and the election
of Cleveland and Stevenson is but a
guarantee (bat that rule shall be just
and economic.
As for Weaver, he can take the
cold consolation of a few votes from
some Northwestern States, and as for
Field, he may roll as a bitter morsel
under his tongue the repudiation
that the Solid South cflers him.
The American people have cause
to congratulate themselves upon the
election of Cleveland, the greatest
living American, and of Stevenson
the man who, despite all obstacles
cast in bis pathway, has reversed
a Republican majority of twenty-two
thousand in Illinois and landed that
S.ate for the first time since 1860
in the Democratic column.
The clouds are fast disappearing
and from the watch-tower the senti
nel cries out: “All is well with the
./^Republic.”

NORMAL SCHOOLS IN GEORGIA.
Several esteemed correspondents
have misconstrued a recent editorial
in our columns on the subject of
normal schools, says the Atlanta
Constitution. They have hastily
reached the conclusion that, in ad
vocating a regular normal school for
the benefit of onr teachers, we are
slighting the claims of the Georgia
Normal and Indnstrial college at
Milledgeville.
We do not think that a close read
ing of our article will sustain this
view. The college at MilledgeviHe
is an admirable institution, and ma
ny of its graduates are well equipped
to begin work as teachers. But such
a regular normal school as we had
in view would be not a school to give
students an education that would fit
them to be teachers, but a school
which teachers could attend and in
which they could learn all the im
portant details connected with their
great work. Such an institution—
for teachers only—would be on an
entirely different line from the Nor
mal and Industrial college at h f il-
ledgeville, and the two, instead of
cot dieting, would mutually help
each other.
We feel satisfied that this was Mrs
Lipscomb’s idea, when she made her
plea for Normal schools in The
Athens Banner. We certainly saw
the matter from that standpoint at
the time, and we do not propose in
advocating a school for teachers to
ignore the institution at Milledge
ville, which has already done such
good work in turning out graduates
who are fitted to begin,their life work
as teachers.
When [these points are borne in
mind it will be seen that a normal
school for teachers cannot possibly
interfere with the college at Mil
ledgeville, but will materially help it
and every other educational institu
tion in the State
-ttditoria/ Comment.
TOM WATSON GIVES BACKTHEFLAG.
There is one lesson that the Tenth
District of Georgia has forcibly im
pressed upon the people* and that is
that ihere is no room for the traitor
Georgia; that whenever a man
Accepts a Democratic commission
^only to trample it under his feet and
then to abuse the people who elected
him, there is but one penalty for the
offense and that is repudiation.
.The loyal Democrats of the Tenth
have spewed Tom Watson from their
mouths, so to speak, and relegated
Elm to that political oblivion he so
justly deserves. They deserve great
'credit in Richmond, Hancock and
Wilkinson counties that gave’Dem
ocratic majorities and in all the
|}ther counties where by good work
ey succeeded in holding down the
, nemy. They merit the praise and
hanks of all Georgians for removing

THE STUDENTS CBLEBRATB
The Victory of Cleveland and Steven
son and Blaok.
The students of the University cele
brated Cleveland’s and Black’d victory
last night with bonfires and illumina
tions.
Enthusiastic speeches were made and
the chapel hell was rung for hours as it
never rang before.
The Democratic club called a masting
early in the day and instructed the com
mittee on bonfire material to wait upon
the merchants. Several hundred boxes
and barrels were contributed and con
veyed to the campus. At H o'clock the
bonfire was touched oflT and it made a
magnificent illumination. The boys
enj tyed it very much.
Yesterday morning the following tel
egram was sent from Athens:
President Grover Cleveland, New
York —Tbe students cf the University
The Augusta Chronicle of yesterday
says editorially:
The great fight is over, and the Dem
ocrats of the Tenth can breathe easier
this morning at the thought that they
ill be r, presented by a Democrat, in
the next emigres \
In some respects the campaign which
has just ended with the triumphant
election < f Hon. Jan es C. C. Black, of
Richmond, has been the mast remark
able ever known in the history of Geor
gia—remarkable for the striking con
trast between the two candidates; for
tbe notable oratorical ability of both,
and for the unprecedented bitterness
and dissension which has been stirred
up by Mr- Watson throughout the dis
trict. The fight waged by Mr. Watson
has been incendiary and insurrection
ary. Recognizing from the first that
he was opposed by the commercial in
terest?, the intelligence and the wealth
of the district, he has sought to over
come those irresistible influence by ap
pealing to the lowest passions and bit-*
terest prejudices of the citizens of each
ojunty in the district.
Having deserted the party whose
standard he bore, and by whose com
mission he held bis seat in congress,
having torn himself aloof from party
moorings and turned his back upon the
•presentative people of his distric
Mr. Watson has been compelled to re
sort to methods which we are loth to
believe he foresaw in the beginning,
and which have been so dangerous and
productive of evil as to remove him
from the sympathy aod respect of good
citizens, and even those who were
originally his lueuds.
Counting upon the blind following
which he had among tbe farmers of tbe
district and the influence which he felt
they coaid exert for him over the
negroes in their employ, Mr. Watson
believed that it would be impossible for
Democrats to compass his defeat, and it
must be admitted that in the beginning
of the c&mpaign the odds seemed over
whelmingly in bis favor.
But The Chronicle h d confidence in
the Democratic faith of the farm* rs of
Georgia and has never ceased to believe
that when the truth was fairly present
ed that they would accept it and turn
their backs upon the incendiary teach
ings of Mr: Watson. We recognized
that these'farmers had teen ltd astray
by the teachings of Mr. Watson, they
were nevertheless Democrats at heart.
They were born and reared in tbe De
mocratic party, and despite the slanders
and abuse which were heaped upon it
by Mr. Watson and other third party
leaders, we knew that down in their
hearts Georgians still believed in it, and
remembered that in those days which
tried men’s souls, their only be pe bad
been in the party upon which they bad
now turned their backs. We have
never doubted that when tbe claims of
Democracy and the Third party were
both presented to the intelligent voters
of any county and were given a fair
and unprejudiced bearing, that Democ
racy must be triumphant. We have
always believed that where tbe issues
were fair!; put before ihe people, and
they realized the extremes to wbicb
they were bring led, and the emptiness
of Third party promises, they would
return to the faith of their fathers, and
remain true to the Democratic ptrty.
This old love for Democratic teach
ings, which waa born and bred in
Georgians, was a silent influence at war
with Mr. Wagon’s teaching?, and which
grew stror ger as he grew more desper
ate and denunciatory.
We doubt not that if the farmers of
the Tenth congressional distnot bad
been permitted to read Democratic
newspapers, Mr. Watson’s defeat would
have been sooner crushed out.
Mr. Watson Is a good politician, and
he rt cognized from tbe first, when he
set out to make his campaign lot Con
gress against Mtjor Barnes, that tbe
most powerful single agency in the dis
trict wbicb he would have to fight
would be the Augusta Chronicle. For
a century it has been read by the people
of this district, and in every county It
has been a welcome visitor at the fami
ly fireside from one generation to an
other. Everywhere it was regarded as
the sentinel on the watch-tower, and as
the moulder and reflector of public
sentimenL Mr. Watson realized this as
the most powerful influence against
him, and tbe only way to fight it was te
poison the minds of the people against
it and induce them to banish it from
their homes. Deliberately and persist-,
entlybeweet to work to undermine
tbe Chronicle in this district and else
where. So far as we recollect, no speech
of his, either in the campaign that has
just dosed or the one against Major
Barnes, was ever made free of some
abuse of this paper. Sinoe the found
ing of the People’s party pap 1 in At
lanta we have never seen an issue of it
which did not oontain some abusive ref
erence to tbe Chronicle. In every issue
be has tried to cripple the influence of
this piper, and has on the stump and
through the columns of his paper ad
vised tbe people not to read it, nor to
permit it to enter their * homes. Con
scious of his own unfair and contempti
ble work, and realizing his own bitter'
malignity, Mr. Watson has never been
able to admit that tbe Cbroniole was
have conducted this campaign.
Bat it is over now. The fight is end
ed Democracy is triumpbat. Mr.
Watsob has been rebuked, and Hon, J.
C C. B ack, a faithful and consistent
D mocrat, has been overwhelmingly
eleoted representative of this district.
The fanners of Georgia ma t admit that
the Chronicle has been true to their best
interests despite the bitter and malig
nant way in which their minds have
been poisoned against it, and we appeal
to them to put behind them tbe bitter
ness of the campaign, to forget their
Third party wanderings *nd come back
and be Democrats in tbe future as they
have always been in the past. Let ns
forget the bickering, the jealousies and
the bitterness of the campaign just end-
d, and let ns all unite in keeping the
Tenth Congressional district one of the
most powerful Democratic strongholds
in the South.
We hold out thoolive branch of peace
and all the bitterness and abuse of tbe
past is forgotten. We are Democrats.
Let us be friends.

THE BANNER’^SERVICE
Pronounced to be Very Thorough.
The news service on election returns
furnished by the Banner to Athens and
Winterville Tuesday night, and to all
its readers yesterday morning, has been
pronounced very thorough by a large
number of citizens.
It is generally conceded that it was
the best election news service ever giver
in Athens, and several gentlemen de
clare it rqual to the service in Augusta
The Banner will endeavor always to
give every news facility possible to its
readers.
The Western Union Telegraph Oper
ators and manag. rs deserve our thanks
for their untiring work in making
out the returns.
The Population of Athens
Is about 12,000, ana we would say a?
least one half are troubled with some
affection of tbe Throat and Lungs, at
those complaints are, according tosta-
tistics, more numerous than others. We
would advise all our readers not to neg

Slio Was the Wire of the Firm.
“We were going across the plains to
California some years ago.’’ says Mrs.
Crane, “and RobsOn had a section on one
side of the 1‘tilltnau car and Mr. Crane and
1 bad the section directly across the aisle.
During the day I did what I could to en
tertain Robson, for his wife had been de
tained at home by their daughter’s illness.
Part of the time 1 was playing cards with
Mr. Crane while Mr. Robson went for
ward to Rmoke, and then again 1 was play
ing cards with Mr. Robson while Mr.
Crane was iu the smokiug car. This seem
ing impartiality seemed to confuse the
other occupants of tbe car, and I bad great
fun listening to their talk. It seemed hard
for them to determine which of the two
gentlemen was Robson and which was
Crane. For a long time the discussion
threatened to become acrimonious, bnt
finally it was determined to the apparent
satisfaction of all that ‘the little man’ was
Crane and ‘the big man’ was Robson. ‘But
who is the lady?’ inquired some one. And
then 1 heard another somebody answer in
a suppressed but confident tone, ‘Oh, she’s
Robson and Crane’s wifel’ Buffalo News.

She Acknowledged Her DlffleuUy.
With the fashionable craze for tailor

there is nevertheless an occasional girl
who cannot master a four-in-hand or tie a
black satin scarf as it should be. One of
these went into a gentlemen’s furnishing
store the other day to buy a scarf to wear
with her boyish costume. After she had
looked at them, she said:
“Ob, dear me. I shall never be able to tie
this! Why can’t I have one that is already
tied, with hooks behind?”
Very firmly the answer came to her,
“But, madam, no gentleman would think
of wearing a ready tied scarf.”

WINTERING ROOT CROPS.
Keeping Frost Out of Cellars.
During the coldest nights of winter 1
seep a thermometer in my cellar, and
when there is a probability of the tem
perature falling below the freezing
point I keep ont the frost by placing a
lighted central draft lamp on the cellar
floor. The flame is turned low, so that
but little oil is consumed, and if neces
sary it is raised toward morning. I
have not banked np the honse on the
approachj>f winter since trying this ex
pedient, and have kept ont the frost
with mnch less expense than was re
quired in banking np the foundation
walls with earth and straw. The heat
thrown off by a central draft lamp is
very great in proportion to the size of
the flame, and could be utilized to pro
tect house plants in the windows an(l
those stored for winter in cellar or
cold pit. A lamp of this pattern can
also be attached to a window box, so as
to give bottom heat in starting early
vegetables, flower seeds and cuttings,
thus giving the amateur many of the
conveniences of a greenhouse or hotbed,

The best storage place for all roots,
potatoes included, undoubtedly is a reg
ular root cellar in the basement of a
barn. A separate root or potato cellar,
such as a dngout in a hillside, also
makes a very good place for beets, car
rots, etc., to bo fed out during winter
and spring. No difficulty need be ex
perienced in carrying root crops over
until spring in pits outdoors, in the
same way that farmers in some sections
winter apples and potatoes, says as good
authority as T. Griener, in bis useful
book, “How to Make the Garden Pay,"
published by* William H. Maule, Phil;
delphia. Here is some illustrated ac
vice which he gives:
PIT FOR WINTERING ROOT CROPS.
Select a dry spot, or one for which
drainage can easily be provided, and
dig an excavation about one foot or
eighteen inches deep, six feet wide, and
of the length reqnired to hold the roots
to be wintered over. Place the roots in
a conical heap, as shown in the illustra
tion. Cover with six, eight, ten or
twelve inches of straw, according to the
severity of the winters iu the particular
locality, and with a foot of soil upon
the straw.
A whisk of straw or a section of com
mon tile drain, reaching from the straw
covering through the soil to the outside,
should be adjusted in the center of
every eight or 10-foot section to pro
vide the required ventilation. If such
a pit is opened before the cold weather
has entirely passed the roots remaining
in it need careful covering to guard
against freezing.
