1HE ATHENS BANKER TUESDAY MORNING DECEMBER ao,i89J
A Wild Story About Mr. Cleveland
and the South.
TWO CABINET POSITIONS
That Southerners Will Demand of the
President After a Conference Is
Held and a Selection of
Men Can Be Made.
New York, Dec. 14.—The Herald
has an ignorantly constructed article
on the program of the south in regard
to cabinet places. It states that ten or
twelve men are followed in thought by
the entire south.
That the wiseacres will meet in each
stato after the January convention of
the electoral college. Then they will
THE STRIKE ON.
the Telegraphers Will Have Better
Pay or Not Work.
Atlanta, Doc. 13.—All of the opera
tors on the Central .Railroad of Georgi
have left their instruments and gone on
on a •strike in obedience to an order it-
sued by Assistant Chief Tobie, of tin
Order of Railway Telegraphers.
The cause of the tronble is briefly
this:
The Order of Railway Telegraphers,
about two weeks ago, appointed a com
mittee to wait cn the Central railroad
and ask an advance in the pay of the
men.
Similar committees were appointed to
confer with the other southern lines
upon like applications, and these all
were met by the officials of the roads
and given a hearing, the roads refused,
however, to accede to the demands of
the operators.
In order to secure concerted action,
have a joint conference. Then they will ,
select two names for cabinet portfolios, °^ ler committees have waited on
Causcg a Clash Between Two South
Carolina Legislators.
THE LIE CHANGES HANDS.
The House Passes the Bill, but it Is
•"hought That the Senate WiU
Kill it—It Frovides for
County Dispensaries
which they will present to Mr. Cleve
land.
That Mr. Cleveland will take this ex
pression as the will of the south and act
accordingly. It is evident that The
Herald knows neither Mr. Cleveland
nor the south.
Captain Howell and Colonel Walsh,
the Central committee who have in
turn made frequent and persistent ef
forts to get a hearing with tho superin
tendent of the Central, who has all
along refused to meet or treat with
them.
Finally, on Saturday last, tho com
mittee notified the superintendent that,
unless their demands were acceded to,
and they were granted a hearing by
- <*•"*"»*
to tlic Crisp incident. Mr. Walsh ridi- keys,
rnlisl the idea that Mr. Crisp was not
allowed to speak because he was a freo
silver man. Mills, ho said, voted for
every free silver measure ever present
ed o the house. Crisp, Colonel Walsh
declares, is stronger than ever.
Mr. Howell said if Johnson, during
the campaign had made a few such
speeches as the one he made at the ban
quet, it would have been disastrous to
Cleveland in the south.

This like other communications from
the operators was treated with silent
contempt, and at 2 p. m., nothing hav
ing been heard from the superintendent
every operator on the system left his
key and the strike was duly on.
The pay asked for by operators wonld
have increased their wages from $'5 t
$10 per month. They also want®
extra pay for over twelve hours work
each day. T’rn time of train dispatchers
was to be eight hours per day.
On the Central road it is said that
there is employed about four hundred
operators. Nearly all of them belong
to the Order of Railway Telegraphers.
ENTHUSIASTIC APPLAUSE.
fipeuKer Crisp Was Given an Ovation in

Washington, Dec. 13.—Enthusiastic
applause greeted Speaker Crisp as he
■topped upon the speaker’s stand. It
was an evident reassurance of confi

Columbia, Dec. 14.—The voluminous
stringent Prohibition bill has passed
its third reading in the house, and the
senate will now have to struggle with
it. The general impression is that the
senate will not pass it.
The bill prohibits the sale of liquor,
save for medical, scientific and sacra
mental purposes, and for these purposes
dispensaries shall be established at the
county seat in each county, and four iu
Charleston.
The deliberations were enlivened by
an altercation between Colonel J. C.
Haskell, the one armed leader of the
conservatives, and S. A. Nettles, the
young leader of the prohibitionists.
The latter denounced the statement
by Colonel Haskell that he had broken
faith in not permitting a free and full
discussion of the prohibition bill as
false, and Colonel Haskell showed how
Mr. Nettles promised not to cut off a
speech by him, and yet had done so,
and denounced his statement as “with
out qualification and absolutely false.”

Wheeling. W. Va., Dec. 13.—Blood
has been flowing down in the Elkhorn
mining region the past few days. Two
men have been murdered, one lynched,
and an officer of tho law lies mortally

A Tennessee Poisoning Case.
Clarksville, Dec. 13.—'The trial of
George W. Avant on the charge of pois
oning his wife, one of tho most sensa
tional cases known to the criminal court
of this section, has concluded, having
been in progress twelve days. This is
the third trial of the case, Avant having
been in jail since his wife’s death over
two years ago. Tho estimated cost to
the state is about $20,000. There were

Avant will be held for a new trial.
HAM’S THUNDER.
Claim to the Origination of the Word
•‘Snoiiygoster.”
H. W. J. Ham’s word “snoiiygoster"
very quickly took its place as a newly-
coined expression of unique force.
The Gainesville E-tgle obtains from
Judge Estes and Hon. A. D. Candler
tho following information about the
origin of the word :
About the time of Mr. Lincoln’s
election in 1860 there lived a g iod old
man in Middle Gecrgia, Rev. Gary
Grice. He was the father of Judge
Grice and Col. Q. C. 0110“. This old
man was a type of the true old-time
Suutherner.a secessionist of the extreme
school. Although past his three score
years and ten, he volunteered as a pri
vate in the first company that left
Jonesboro, G&., then commanded by
(Capt.) Dr. G. C. Crawford, afterwards
by Capt. A. J. McBride, both of whom
now live in Atlanta. Old man Gric
often wrote letters home from Vir
ginia, and was a frequent contributor
to the press. He could not tolerate the
croakers, grumblers, prophets of evil,
many of whom hung around every
group of men to dissuade, dishearten,
and deter them, and berate our cause
The different grades or classes of these.
Mr. Grice denominated “Flunkies,”
Koundies” and “Snollygosters.” From
that time, now over thirty years, anol-
lj goster has not been a strange word,
especially to those whe knew Gary
Grice.

posed slight given him Saturday night pistol. He was 55 years old. and wa
in New York by tbo Reform club’s fail- » n ante-bellum graduate of the South
nre to invite him to speak. That inci
dent has furnished all the gossip in
Washington since Sunday morning.
Upon Speaker Crisp’s enterin; the
house there were most unusual scenes.
The Democrats arose and cheered him
vociferously, and the Republicans join
ed in. The speaker rapped for order,
but the house refused to come to order
and continued cheering for some time.
The prevalent opinion is that tb
speaker’s name was intentionally omit
ted from the list of orators and "that the
club meant to discount his position as
an advocate-of tariff reform, thereby
strengthening the opposition to his re-
election. No one has any idea that
Cleveland sanctioned tho discourtesy to
the speaker and a story is going the
rounds to the effect that lilr. Cleveland,
after tho banquet was over, roundly
scored tie Reform club leaders for their
failure to put Mr. Crisp on the list of
speakers.
It is said that he told them that, while
•very effort should be made to unite the
party, they had greatly wi lened the
preach between the factions.

COTTON MOVEMENTS.
Tho Nervousness in Liverpool Caused An
other Decline in New York.
New York. Dec. 14.—A decline of
2.C4 at Liverpool after an opening of
5.61 advance caused some nervousness
in this market, and resulted in the loss
of five points in the first sales, followed
almost immediately by a further shrink
age with January selling down to 9.45.
February 9.55, March 9.09, April 9.73,
May 9.80. At this juncture 5 to 0 points
advance took place on light sales the
first hour, aud an improved business
the second hour, with chief sales in Feb
ruary and March deliveries.
Spinners abroad, however, are regard

strength, and may soon be followed by
a very active demand. The port re-

FOR OUTDOOR SPORTS.
New York People Sinking Extensive
Preparations on Ttiat Line.
New York, Dec. 14.—A plan is now
well under way to give to New York
the largest and most elaborately
equipped field for sports and pastimes in
America. The project is being pushed
by the National Horse and Cattle Show
society, a company recently organized
with a capital stock of $750,000, and
having as subscribers to its stock some
i: the most prominent citizens of tlie
Metropolis. The plans involve tlio
throwing of the Polo grounds and Man
hattan field into one large park and
making it the theatre of all the outdoor
athletic contests, horse and dog exltibi-
house,
President E. Ellery Anderson, of the
Reform club, expresses regret that
Judge Crisp feels offended and surprised
at the commotion the affair has created.
He wonders greatly how Mr. Crisp got
the idea that he was expected to speak,
and adds: “Why, there were scores, I
may say hundreds, of prominent men at
the dinner, aud I do not suppose that
they had speeches written out and ex
pected to be called upon to talk. It was
not unusnal that Mr. Crisp as a speaker,
should not be asked for an address. The
Reform club stands for a certain thing
in party publicity that- Mr. Crisp does
not represent.
Mr. Crisp was not the choice of the
club for speaker and there has not been
mnch cordiality between him and our
people.”
When asked if the club wonld oppose
Speaker Crisp’s re-election he said:
"In so far as it takes any part it will

Just after the east bound vestibule train

A panic followed, but a young Ger

Speaker Crisp’s friends point to the

went fully as far as the Chicago plat

tinues to show a remarkable vitality.
He began his fast October 8, and in all

digestive organs will not retain nourish
ment of ally sort, aud it, is positively as

that his fast is genuine. Dr. Sealandt,
the school physician, is greatly puzzled
by liis case, and is at a loss to account
for his wonderful vitality. He has
gained steadily in weight, and is able to
perform light tasks about the school.
Hamburg: to be Abolished.
