The Negroes Here
Red Hot,
Mr. R L. Mom, Jr, wlio is solicit*
jre igent for the M&ooo & Northern
railroad, in talking to a reporter yeater-
d»F< K ave tbe reasons for the change of
ichedule on that road.
Mr M< as ssya that the financial ques-
Kod is at the bottom of it, and that a
change was necessary under the exist
ing state of affairs.
The passenger receipts for January
dropped off over seven hundred dollars,
aD d the receipts for February went off
over four hundred. The new schedule
pikes tbe best showing of< all for the
passer ger traffic, and perfects all con
necting schedules.
Mr. Moss says that the old schedule
yielded the road tuoh poor returns that
in the interest of business the road had
io make the change. He referred to
tbe list of Athena merobants who
promised to give a share of their
freights to tbe M. & N. when the
icmdule was changed before, and said
that f ry few of them had ever given
their share of freights to his road.
Mr. Moss says that Supt. Hoge is try
ing bis best to acoommodate all the pa
trons of his road and that it is far from
big intentions to discriminate against
this city.
sopt. Hoge will do all in his power
to accommodate tbe Athens merchants,
and will run a special train from Madi
son to Athens once a week for their
benefit, if they so desire it. If they
will establish a certain day in the week
u bargain day, Supt. Hoge will run
tbit train in order to accommodate all
persons between Madison and Athens
who desire to come here and do their
trading.
Mr. Moss is of tbe opinion that the
merchants would find such an arrange
ment very much to their interest, and
that it would bo a good advertisement
for the city.
Some 'Athens darkies are hot over
the recent African emigration craze,
8ome days since William Garret, col
ored, who gathered together several
Bbinning silver dollars from the ne
groes of Athens on tbe proposition to

dollar each, went to New York, and

Action of l Council—The
Commissioners Are"
Not Talking.
The decision of the city oonnoil to
refuse the payment of tbe old naiarles
of two hundred dollars each to the dis
pensary commissioners unless forced to
do so by the courts, has occasioned a
great deal of talk pro and con.
The commissioners have held no
meeting, taken no action on the mat
ter, and are not talking much about it.
It is rumored though that they ' will
had contributed their money to Garrett I teBt the matter in the conrt as the es-
to see whether or not he was telling the I tablishment of a prinoiple. The reason
trnth. I assigned for this, while not coming
The committee fonnd out that Gar-1 ,r °m the commissioners, is that the po
sition of council forces them to do so.
They simply asked the city attorney
to construe the meaning of the’ law in
regard to their salaries in order to set
tle it for all time, but did not intimate
that they would question this decision
one way or the other, but that now
since they are in a measure dared by
the council to aBsert their rights they
will proceed to do so.
The commissioners, when seen by the
reporter, refused to say anything about
what they would do, .or discuss their
future notions In this regard.
The position taken by connoil in this
matter ia simply that in the general re
daction of all salaries, those of the dis
pensary commissioners should also
come down a little, and that they should
accept a reduction.
The future developments in this case
will be of Interest.
MIRACLE OK ACCIDENT,WHICH?
A Strange Story from the Gainesville
Eagle.
rett had told them the troth in regard
to the fact that they oonld emmigrate,
but that was all. They found that it
would take many more jingling sheok-
els to carry them to the Dark Continent,
and that Garrett had deceived them in
this regard.
The committee is now convinced of
tbe fact that Garrett is a .base deceiver
and unworthy of confidence. They
came back on the G. C. & N. train and
when they got here told their friends
bow the scheme was no good. They
resent the charge of some of their race
that they were beating the people oat
of their money, and say they were go
ing to investigate the matter.
Having discharged their dnty they
feel thoroughly satisfied that they can
i warn their fellow-citiaens not to try to
emigrate to Afnoa in any such a way
as this.
Garrett did not get much money here
from the negroes as the committee rode
it out and ate it up on the trip, hut
there is some talk of having him ar
rested for what he did get. He is now

SAS CHEEK PETS -TWO BALLS
It is of the Same Kind that
was Objected to Before by
Our People.
We have in our possession a photo
graph cf one of the strangest and most
remarkable accidents that ever came to
our knowledge.
It lies on the desk as we write and
wis handed to ub by Mr. M. E. Allen,a
photographer by occupation, who told
us the interesting little story oonneoted
with it.
The photo represents a saucer, in the
tenter if whioh is a distinot likeness of
s human face. It is the bast of a man
with curly hair and dark beard.and sev
eral to whom it has been exhibited at
once recognized a resemblance between
the engravings usually seen cf Christ.
It 6eerua that some time since a Mrs.
Timmerman of jriedmont, S. C., where
young Mr. Allen baa beenin the photo
graph business, suffered the loss of a
favorite daughter. The bereavement
left the mother broken hearted. She is
a Christian woman and she prayed
tbit Ood would give her some token by
which she might be comforted.
One day while clearing tbe dinner
table, in gathering up the dishes pre
paratory to cleansing them, the set
tlings of a cup of coffee ran into a sau
cer which bad not been used. In tak
ing up tbe saucer to wipe away the set
tlings she saw to her intense astonish
ment that the coffee grounds bad a per-
feot profile of a human bast, and What
»*s yet more wonderful that head and
face formed the ideal likeness of Jesus
Christ. She recognised it as such in
•tautly and accepted the strange coin
cidence as an answer tc her prayer.
The grounds dried on the sanoer and
>*t retain the shape they first assumed
The dish has been photographed by
our informant, and anyone so desiring
may see it at our office.
Mr. Allen assures us that no hqman
band h&g touched tbe remarkable pro
duction, and that Mrs. Timmerman is
a reliable and truthful lady.
To (ay the least of the ooourrenoe it

Anarchists Are Bngaglng the Attention
of H1m Highness at Present.
Rome, March 9.—One of the men in*
jnred by the explosion of a bomb in
front of the chamber of deputies h._s
just died in the hospital. The pope is
deeply interested in learning the circum
stances of the explosion and has directed
an inquiry to be made into the details by
attaches of the Vatican for his own in
formation. His holiness .is anxious to
keep thorougly informed of dev lopinents
of the present anarchist activity, and in
the event of a jkoliticnl crisis fears the
Vatican {itself may bo endangered. It is
stated that the holy father is seeking
from the government guarantees of the
safety of : the Vatican in any. event.
The anarchists have spread through
out tbe city; and particularly among the
workingmen,-thousands upon thousands
of circulars, prescribing bombs as the
only and infallible remedy for the ills
from which the poorer classes are suf
fering.

Bank Officials Acquitted.

Bank of Australia; Mr. Millidge, late
The new schedule on the Maoon and
Northern rosd is destined to oanse as
much dissatisfaction as the one'that
raised such a r&oket some time sinoe.
This f ohednle makes the train leave
Athena in the morning at half past six
and arrive here in the evening at ten
minutes after seven.
Under this sohedole it is impossible
for a person living along tbe line of
tbe Macon and Northern to come here
and do trading without spending two
nights and one day here. While Athens
would be glad to have them stay here
that long on all their trips, still such a
schedule is absolutely prohibitory of
travel in tbat direction.
It,is a manifest disc imi nation against
tbe interests of Atkin.-., turning trade
away from this point thus would other
wise come bere and tbua improving to
a considerable extent oar basiness rela
tions with those people.
Just such a (obedule it was that
caused so much dissatisfaction here
some time since and against whioh the
merchants protested bo vigorously.
They said then that they were dis
pleased with the action of the Macon
and Northern authorities in putting
snob a sohedole upon them, and they
are saying the same things again.
Tbe reporter called upon many of
our leading merchants yesterday and
found that they were very much exer
cised over tbe matter and were in favor
of some concerted action on the part of
the merchants to secure the restoration
of the old sohedole which gave Athens
some showing.
The grocery men, the hardware men,
the dry goods men, in faot all classes of
our merchants were of the firm opinion
that some action should be taken in
the matter.
Capt. C. G. Talmadge, voicing the
sentiments of all the merchants the re
porter saw, said tbat the merohants of
Athens ought not to stand such a
schedule if they could possibly avoid it,
and that they should take prompt ac
tion to secure a restoration of the old
sobedule.
It ia more than likely that some vigo
rous action on the part of the mer
ohants will be taken.

worth Takes Morphine
and Will Die.
A tlakta, G8. March 8.—Samuel H
Cheek, a well known contractor, shot
bimseif twice in the side yesterday
morning, and death followed in two
hours. The suicide reveals a tale of
duplicity through life covering many
years. Cheek had been living with a
woman named Blache Clayton for many
years, nnknown to hiB wife. Yesterday
he told Mrs. Cheek the whole truth,aud
within a few hours was a dead man.
He Took Morphine.
Charles Wadsworth, who lives at the
corner of Martin street and Btwsoo,
took a large quantity of morphine,
with suicidal intent, at his brother-in-
law’s residence, -on Waddell street,
early this morning. He now lingers
between life and death, with but the
smallest chances of recovery. *
The cause of Wadsworth’s attempt to
take his life, appears to be remorse
from a protracted spree.

SubTrrigation In Greenhouses.
Subirrigation is tbe latest scheme for
greenhouse culture. It is astonishing to
a novice to see how glass gardening is
increasing. Around the great cities are
acres of glass, under which are grown
lettuce, cucumbers, rhubarb—in fact, al
most all the outdoor vegetables. Pro
fessor Rane, who made the experiments
at West Virginia, considers tbat subir
rigation in greenhouses is a pronounced
success. He considers it a more com-

DEVICE USED FOR SUBIRRIGATION,
plete system of watering than the usual
sprinkling, as with it the soil does not
harden, bake or dry out. It saves time,
labor aud water and causes plants to run
more evenly.
This under watering hastened the
growth of parsley and spinach and gave
better lettuce, tomatoes and radishes.
Fungous diseases 'were better held in
check—in fact, lettuce rot, one of tbe
worst troubles in many greenhouses, was
prevented by subirrigation. This sys
tem of watering greenhouses is well
worth the attention of those who try to
deceive plants by turning winter into
snmmer.
At the Ohio station similar experi
ments have been conducted. The device
used for Subirrigation in these experi
ments is a pipe with numerous holes tbat
run around under the soil at the bottom
of the bed. At the top is a tunnel through
which the water may be poured.
There is an opinion atCharleston that
