THE BANNER TRADE ISSUE.
On December 6'.h The Banner
proposes to give to its readers the
largest anti best paper ever issued in
Northeast Georgia. Politics have
been relegated to the rear and now
it is a work for the npbuilding of the
bests interests of onr city.
Oar trade issue will be devoted to
the advancement of every interest in
Athens. They are to be presented
in Buch a manner as to catch the
eye of the reading public and fasten
tiie attention of thousands of readers
outside our city.
The time has come when Athens
cannot afford to lag behind in any
respect. We have a city of many
great resources* and a people of
thought and energy. And yet in
these times of fierce competition* the
race is won by those who let the
world know what they can do. We
need outside capital to come to Ath»
ens ; we need more people within
our gates ; we need the stimulus ot
foreign trade; we need more small
manufactories, g
The Banner is in the fight to stay.
We intend to devote every energy of
this paper to the upbuilding of Ath
ens, and to that end, our Trade Issue
of December 6th will lead tLe way.
It will have the combined circula
tion of the Daily and Weekly edi*
tions and will be scattered among
subscribers and among hnsinessmen
all over Georgia and in other States,
It will bo the best advertising me
dium ever offered to the people of
this city and section.
Every resource of Athens ; every
facility offered to trade; every, sd
vantage in educatior, manufacturing
or business ; every improvement or
advance made "by the city will re«
ceive a full consideration in its col
urn ns. In short it will be a com
pleto story of what Athens is doing
in the way of progress* and in addi
tion will contain choice and inter
esting reading matter.
The Banner will make its Trade
Issue the most interesting and at
tractive sheet ever published

necessity for the exhlbi*. If uny
State is to secure great bereflts from
the World’s Fair, it is that State
which possesses great undeveloped
resources The large numbers of
foreign capitalists who visit the Fair
11 look for the place where they
can best invest their money, and
that place is generally where the
work of development is needed. Such
place is Georgia. SI e is richer in
material resource* than any State in
this Union. Her climate is such as
to suit all agricultural pursuits; her
soil will produce almost any crop on
earth; her-forests are filled with
the best timber supp’y of the Be
public; her rivers supply water pow.
er unequalled in any State; her
mountains teem with precious gems
and ores of all descriptions, and eve
rything marks our State as the com
ing State of the Union.
It is meet and proper that Georgia
should have a creditable exhibit at
the World’s Fair, and the General
Assembly would act wisely in pass-
log a bill to appropriate money for
that purpose.
The people may say that it is a
useless expenditure of tax money,
but if they will give to the question
thorough, earnest, conscientious
study,.they will agree that it will be
a rich investment, and that for every
dollar taken out of the public treas
ury to make the exhibit, there will
return one hundred in the shape of
invested foreign capital. No private
individual ever acquired a fortune
without investing bis money ' jndi-
cionsly; no municipality ever thrived
atd prospered without- advertising
to the world its advantages and res
sources; and Georgia will not grow
and increase in population and
wealth as rapidly and as solidly as
she should, if at Chicago there is no
creditable exhibit in the name of the
Bmpire State of the Sonth.
GEORGIA AT THE WORLD’S FAIR
There is a tendency on the part of
the masses of the people of Georgia
to underestimate the importance of
Georgia having a worthy exhibit at
the World’s Fair at Caicago. The
present -General Assembly will be
called upon to vole on a bill making
an appropriation for that purpose,
aud in order to get at the trne status
of affairs will send a committee to
Chicago which will make a report
upon this subject.
Can Georgia make an appropria
tion constitutionally lor this par-
pose ? In the opinion of a large
number of the most eminent lawyers
and jurists in Georgia she can do so.
A long time since when the question
first came up* the Banner came to
the front in advocacy of the appro
priation and gave to the State the
opinion of Bon. Andrew J. Cobb of
tbie city bearing upon the right of
the State under the Constitution to
appropriate pari of the W. A A.
rental for the purpose of securing
an exhibit npon the snbiect. A con
vention was called by Gjv. Northen
and Mr. Cobb read his opinion to
that body. It was clear* logical and
forcible* and found large numbers of
the ablest lawyers in Georgia who
agreed with it as to its soundness
and correctness. We are perfectly
r'jatisfied that the State legislature
can make the Appropriation consti
tutionally.
Does Georgia need and require the
exhibit in order to protect her beat
? This is the question upon
es of the people of
in our humble judgment,
error. State pride

THE CAMPAIGN JUST BEGUN.
Mr. C eveland at a dinner given
by Mr. Henry Villard, ot New York,
Thursday evening made a splendid
speech, the following part of which
deserves the thoughtful attention of
the peop’e. It shows that Mr. Cleve
land will enter the high office to
which he has been elee’ed, witl^ the
determination of redeeming every
pledge made at Chicago. Indeed,
accorking to his words* the cam
paign is just begun* not ended. Mr.
Cleveland, among other things
said:
My love of country* my attach
ment to the principles of true De
mocracy, my appreciation of the ob
ligation I have entered into with the
best and most confiding people in
the world* and the consciousness of
my own weakness and imperfections
all conspire to fill my mind with
sober and oppressive reflection,
When I consider all that we have
to do ae a party charged with the
control of the government, I feel
that our campaign instead of being
concluded* is but juet begun.
What shall our performance be
of the contract we have made with
our countryman and how well shall
we jnstify the trust they have im
posed in ns? If we see nothing in
oar victory but license to revel in par
tisan spoils, we shall fail at every
point.
If we merely profess to enter upon
our work and if we make apparent
endeavor for dark cover for seeking
partisan advantage, we shall invite
contempt and disgrace.
If we attempt to discharge onr
duty to the people without complete
party harmony in patriotic action
we shall demonstrate onr incompe
tency.
I thank God that far above all
doubts and misgivings and away be
yond all the difficulties* all may con
stantly see the lights of hope and
safety.
The light we see is illiumination
from the principles of trne, honest
and pare Democracy—showing the
way in all times of danger and lead
ing us to the fulfilment of political
duty and the redemption of all onr
pledges.]
The lights is kindled in the love
of justice and in devotion to the
people’s lights. It is bright in a
constant patriotism and in a nation’s
promise.
Let us not be misled to our undo
ing by the other lights of false De
mocracy which auy be kindled in
the people’s money. Oar buidens

OUR GALA WEEK.
The gats days for Athens are as
sured* and the committees are at
work to make them a success.
Athens is jus* ro Tina poeiil
where she can ill afford to take
backward step, and every movement
towards bnilding up the city should
be fostered and aided by the entire
people.
It was a rule iaid down by the late
Henry W. Grady that in order to
build up a oity, its people should al
ways seek to brLg on aide people
within their midst, wh< her i i large
crowds or not. This is a eve and
wise rule to follow.
There is no reason why our gala
week shouldn’t 1 eja success* and it
will be if the people rally to its sup
port. We can well afford to spend a
little of onr time and money just
now on building np onr city.
Keep yonr eye on the gala deyr.
They will be days of prosperity*
pleasure and pr- fit to jail concerned.

THE ROAD CONGRESS.
Professor C. M. Strahan, of the Uni
versity, Talks.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 23.—Professor C.
M Strahan, of the State University,
was in Atlanta yesterday on his return
from the road congress held in Memphis
a few days ago.
When asked for an expression of
opinion about the bearing of that meet
ing upon the question of good roads,
Professor Strahan said:
*‘A gratify ing growth of interest in
the question of good roads has taken
place since the congress was held in At
lanta in 1S91. This is shown by there-
oent formation in Chicago of a well
organized body under the name of the
international league for good roads,
with such men as JLeland Stanford, of
California, General Roj Stone, of New
York, and Phil D. Armour, of Chicago,
on its board of directors.
Not only this, bat the press through
out tbe past year has been very active
in spreading wholesome ideas regard
ing good roads.
’’The Memphis congress was inspired
by the progress which has been made,
and derived a further inspiration from
the fact that its meeting was held in
Tennessee, where the recent conflict
between coDVict and free labor gave
tremendous emphasis to tbe question of
oonviot labor on -public road6,

ing observatories or . c ..u ,t
Europe. Prof. Berberich, ar th- Berl!
Obeervatory, was one of the first to ,; e .
vote his entire time to tbe study 0 [ th!
new comet as soon as its position i n
heavens was known.
After careful examination, Professor
Berberich took up the astronomical st*.
tistical tables which are ;simposed u>
explain the movements of all ike heav
enly bodies, but could not there find
anything which would explain the ap
pearance of the comet at this time. It
was, in faot, one of those things which
occur from time to time, and that go to
prove that astronomy is by no means an-
exact and wrought out scence; that na
ture does not always harmonize with
statisuce, and that principles of seen,
tifle observation have constantly to be
made over to fit new conditions. Ac
cordingly, from the very outset, the
new comet was surrounded by doubt
and an element of the mysterious.
There was illimitable room for special-
tion as.to its origin and destiny. One
thing, however, was quickly discover
ed. As the new comet was observed
from night to night in Berlin and elae-
where,|it was seeiqthat tn« monster wu
appreaebing tbe.
Earth at Incredible Spkid.
Every night tbe asronomers looked
at it it had* increased insiee from ^e
previous .evening, and, while at the
time of its discovery it oonld only he
seen through the very largest telescopes,
it is now visible through a glass.of very
small magifyiog power. This increase
has taken place during a period of about
ten days, and the comet not only grow
constantly large from night to night
bat it does so in a constantly increjuiog
ratio, which will in a very short time
make it the moBt conspicuous object in
tbe heavens.
Unable to Spbcificall Indestft.
The oomet as one previously observed
and to be excepec at this time, Prof.
Berberich resorted to the law of pro
babilities to explain its appearance,
After muoh calculation the .only ex-
ptaination he could bit upon to account
for the stranger’s presence was that il
was the famous comet of Biela, whose
disappearance, after they thought they
knew all about it, has long mystified
astronomers, for during its brier career
it was the most astonishing object they
had ever looked upon,
Startling as was this theory of.Profesior
Berberich, it has come to be commonly
accepted by other eminent astronomen.
Indeed it seems that observers working
independently in this oountry r ached»
similar conclusion about tbe same time.
Professor Lewis Bors’ at the Dudley
Observatnry in Albany, found the
comet on the evening of Nov. lfi» 8B ^
