THE BANNER, ATITENS, GEORGIA, JUNE 18, 188S)
The Great Things in Store for
Our City.
FOUR HEW RAILROADS COMING,
AND ONE HUNDRED NEW BUILD
INGS NOW GOING UP.
A Territory Extended Over One Hundred
Niles Around—Every Man Work-
ins to Build Up Athens.
'The editor of this paper has recently
returned from an extended tour over
‘ten States, traveling as far west ns
Ka nsas; lie also visited several of the
-growing new cities in Alabama, Missis
sippi and other states, hut nowhere lias
Tie seen a place with a brighter future
or built on a firmer foundation than our
own ('lassieCity.
Were Athens with its present busi
ness and future outlook, located west
of the Mississippi river, it would expe
rience a boom al nost equal to that of
Birmingham or Kan-as City.
Our people are net as yet aroused to
the groat and manifold advantages that
they p assess, or seen to realize the mag
nificent future in store for them.
We are surrounded by as line an ag
ricultural country as the South affords.
Wo have at our gates, water power suf
ficient to turn every spindle in Ame
rica—our climate, our water and our so-
< icty are unsurpassed—we have three
important railroads terminating here,
and in the near future there are four
move lines a< sure to be built as that
the sun will rise in the east to-morrow.
The G,, C. & X., which is now a settled
certainty, will, in itself double our pop
ulation and business in live years. The
Augusta and Chattanooga will some
day be built, and its projectors say
speedily too—which will give us a short
and direct line to the west, as also open
up to Athens ail that tier of northern
counties through which it passes, and
increase as the trade of lower Ogle
thorpe, Wilkes, Lincoln and Columbia.
•I udge W. B. Thomas is confident that
he will extend his road to Knoxville,
which gives Athens another short and
rival route to the west, and will bring
to our doors the great coal and iron
fields of Last Tennessee, making our.
city an important manufacturing cen
tre. The completion of the 6., C. &
X'. road- will force the building of
. -mother short and direct line to Xew
-•Orleans, and it matters not from what
.point the road brae lias otV, it will have
i's mother terminus in Athens.
That all of the nb< ive-meutioned pro
jected lines are soon to bo built, and at
a day not far distant too, any one ac
quainted with the history of the age,
and the railroad extension in Georgia
■tml the 8'.nnb ; assuredly knows.
• Athens is the natural and acknowl
edged terminal for these new lines, and
here will be located their headquarters
and shops..
To the east, we will have no rival
trade centre fora distance of nearly
200 miles, while in the north, west and
South, we will collect business for a
hundred miles or more. Tin's immense
territory is no barren waste, but literal
ly the golden spot of the Soiuii.abound
ing in mineral wealth, unlimited water
powers, and a soil and climate tiiat pro
duces nearly every crop grown on our
continent*
With this magiiifi ant county, pene
trated by railways 1 branching oil" in ev
ery direction from Athens, and paying
tribute to our city, can any earthly
power retard our growth and prospor-
i ty ?
But this is not all. One of the
strongest banking houses in ri.e United
States has now a pecuniary interest in
A then-vanJ Its future, and if will be to
their interest to build .up and sustain
our city. The simple fact that Brown
Bros., of Baltimore, are backing great
enterprises, the future and success of
which are linked with Athens, is, with
in itself, guarantee sufficient that on
city will not be permitted to suffer for
the lack of a strong friend or capital.
While Athens is not on any boom—
and we do not desire to have a ficti
tious value placed upon the property
for temporary gain—at the same time
there is a steady and constant growth
an our city and its business. While
•property is held at reasonable prices,
•our people have great confidence in the
future of Athens, and receive a fair
valuations for real estate.
A gentleman whose business requires
that be visit every section of the city,
tells us that not less than one hundred
•new homes are now in course of erec
tion in Athens, several of them being
•buildings that would do credit to any
‘metropolis. This is certainly a wonder
ful showing for a city of 15,000 inhabi
tants.
Besides these business and residence
buildings, one large cotton mill near
Athens has recently doubled its ca
pacity, while a mammoth factory isnow
'going up at Barnett Shoals. The Messrs
■Goats will also erect here the only
spool ce*ton mill in the Southern States.
^Enquiries are constantly made for water
{power around the city, and Athens, in
few years is destined to be the Lowell
•of the South.
Mr.. Thomas Bailey, Superintendent
of the Athens Foundry and Machine
Works recently purchased the fine prop
erty near the C. & M. road, known as
. the Hodgson shops, and rep< r. says it is
the gentleman’s intention to enct
thereon a mammoth foundry and ma
chine works for the manufacture of im
proved agricultural implements. Our
enterprising citizen, Dr. E. S. Lyndon
tells as that he will^also build a new
foundry and machine shop as soon as the
Covington and Macon road will put him
down a sidetrack.
These are only, a .'few enterprises
imoiTg many nffw under way or prbjec-
ed for Athens,-- and we give them to
‘bow that our city is on bed-rock
oundation. and, while her people are
making no boasts that we are progress
ing as fast as any city in the South, with
i magnificent future hovering over
hem.
There is ho division now among our
people. It is the pride and aim of every
man to got to work and build up Athens.
Even were our citizens so divided
• hey could not retard the measures of
prosperity that is about to break upon
us. But every individual, it matters not
how humble liis avocation, has a fixed
determination to lend every effort in
his power toward building up the Clas
sic City.
Indeed have our people just cause to
be elated, for their city is destined to be
one of the most important places in the
South.
T MADE.
Athens Ha s Pure and Wholesome Water.
For several days past the water from
the water works has had a milky ap
pearance when first drawn from the
pipes. 'Flu: water has been submitted
to a chemist who says:
‘*ln a test for impurities I found it.as
pure as the U.S. Pharmaecepia requires,
which is that it must nofi contain more
than one, part-of fixed impurities in ten
tons. I found it free from organic mat
ter and chlorides. The.milky appear
ance is due to the air in the pipes, which
rapidly disappears on standing.
This test will dispell fears about the
water, and it will not be long before it
is as clear as usual.
A MODEL PROFESSOR.
An
on Professor
Unwarranted Fight
Woodfin.
The many friends and admirers of
Prof. W. G. Woodfin, chair of ancient
languages, in the State University, are
surprised and indignant at an organ
ized attempt to defeat him for, re-eleq-
tiou to the place lie so ably and satis
factorily fills. We learn that the recent
report of the Board of Visitors lias
stirred up the trustees, who feel called
upon to make some changes in the fac
ulty, and that Prof. Woodfid. has been
centred upon as the lamb to lead to the
slaughter.
Why this gentleman has been sin
gled out, is beyond our comprehen
sion, for no man more tiioroqgly under
stands or faithfully discharges his du
ties; qnd while he lias the love and con
fidence of the.students, at the same
time he commands their obedience and
respect. Let the trustees subject Prof.
Woodfin to the harshest examination
possible—investigate his control over
the students under liis charge—look
into his character and standing as an
otneerof the University, and as a citi
zen and a gentleman; and if lie fails in
any respect to stand the test, then we
say depose him.
Prof. Wuodfln is a popular favorite
both with the students and the public,
lie is a genial, polished gentleman, a
model citizen, and a Christian. To re
move him simply at the biddipg of a
few men, who desire to find a scape
goat, would be an outrage against this
gentleman and a shame upon our $t;^te
University.
We believe that Prof. Woodfin has
enough friends among the Board of
Trustees and in our State to save him
from those unjust and inistifvinghumil-
iation.
The Board of Trustees convenee in
Athens to-morrow, and we ask these
gentlemen to give the claims of Profes
sor Woodfin careful consideration be
fore they vote to remove him.

COTTON BAGGING,
A COMMUNICATION FROM 3?RESI-
DEN i‘ NORTHERN.
The Georgia Committee Has Made No
Change in its Instruction to Farm
ers About Ordering Cot
ton Bagging.
The suggestions made in the Na
tional Economist, page 185, as to the
manner of ordering cotton bagging,
have produced some confusion in the
minds of farmers in this Slate.
The committee for Georgia have not,
in a y way. changed the instructin' s
given in their circular. Farmers inu?t
send their‘orders direct to the West
Point Mills,, at West Point, Ga, en
closing negotiable note to be paid
when goods are delivered, or they can
give suitable*bank reference as to com
mercial standing.
In many section the merchants are
ordering cotton bagging fur the farm
ers, just as they.formerly ordered jute.
This much the best plan, as it saves
confusion.
The width, weight ai d.cost of cot
ton bagging were all fixed in the con
tract made with manufacturers.
It must be dis incly understood that
the mills do not expect to carry any
amount of bagging above that ordered
by farmers or merchants. Those
fanners, therefore, who* are delaying
with the expectation of getting bag
ging as they need it for immediate use
will be disappointed Orders must
be sent to the mills without delay.
Farmers who prefer it may order
bagging from the Lane Mil s at New
Orleans, La.
The West Point Mills,in this State,
will furnish a suitable article of heavy
cotton c otli for baling Sea Island cot
ton. Let me beg that all arrange
ments for bagging be made without
delay.

Frost in J
The following interesting communi
cation is copied from the Columbia
Keeord:
Mr. Editor: We see men this morn
ing in groups talking about the strange
cold weather. They probably have for
gotten or perhaps never heard of the
killing frost of 0th, 7tli and 8th of June
1819, which is just seventy j'ears ago.
At that time corn, cotton, wheat and all
vegetables were ki lied. Some few farm
ers whojjhad cotton seed left planted
over, others would not, thinking it too
late. Corn was cut off at the ground
and left to put forth anew. Wheat did
not make seed. That was a trying time
with the farmers. But notice how the
seasons changed before the end of the
year. There was no frost that autumn
until Christmas, and those who had re
planted reaped bountiful harvests. If
we should have a repetition of the’ frost
of 1319, let us also remember the good
cotton and corn crops of that year.

Horrors in the Past.
The Pennsylvania calamity has
brought into discussion visitations of
appalling.fatality in past times. Ref
erence to any book of dates will show a
surprising list of horrors, beside those
of war. Among the most destructive
inundations may be mentioned that in
the Netherlands, in 1421, when the sea
broke over Port and swept away 100,-
000'persons. Holland was visited-again
in 1530, when the dikes gave way and
400,000 people were drowned in Catalo
nia, and floods in Which at least 100,000
perished make the list a long one. But
earthquakes have been many .times more
destructive than floods, and a list of the
more notable may be of some interest at
this time. In their chronological order
they are as follows:
Dec. 6, 1450; at Naples, 40,000 persons
were destroyed; Dec. 20, 1531, at Lis
bon,, 300,000; July 2, in Japan, several
cities and thousands of lives destroyed;
July 30, 1620, at Naples, 700,000; April
6, 1(507, at itagusa, 5,000; during three
months, 1667, at Sehamaki, 80,000; in
September, 1693, in Sicily, 100,000;
in 1703, at Jeddo, 2000,000; May and
June, 1716, at Algiers, 16,000 ; Novem
ber 30, 1731, at Pekin, 100,000; October
28, 1746, at Lima and Callao 13,000;
September, 1754, at Grand Cairo, 40,-
(XX); June, 1755, at Lisbon. 50,000; Feb
ruary 4, 1797, in the country lying be
tween Santa Fe and Panama, 40,000;
August 14,1851, at Melg, Italy, 14,000;
December 16,1857, at Calabria, 10,0»0;
March 20, 1860, at Mendoza, South
America, 7,000; August 13 and 15,1868,
in Peru and Ecuador, 25,000. These
are calamities which were clearly be
yond human power, but it does not ap
pear that the Conemaugh calamity
can be thus classified. It is ascribed to
human neglect.
Crops in Oglethorpe County.
LKXixoTONj Ga., June 12.—In Ogle
thorpe county, since some of the wheat
has been harvested and some of it
threshed, it has been found to be not
quite so good as it was thought to be
while standing in the field. For want
of rain the heads are light, with only a
few grains in the meshes, and when
threshed it makes a poor turn out of
clean grain. There is, notwithstanding*
more made than has been made in some
years.
A Horned Snake Killed.
A hand on IV. P. Gilbert’s place, near
Rising Fawn, in Dade county, killed,
last week, a “horned”snake 7 feet long.
A great many are of the opinion that
these snakes stick their horn in objects
but it is a mistake. The “horn” is some
thing like a roosters’ spur, and is about
3 inches long and underneath is a groove
in which is a stinger like that of a hee,
and in “striking” sticks it out. f niey
are sometimes callcd“hoop” snakes as
they put their tail in their mouth in
traveling and roll like a hoop and when
anything gets in their way,as they come
over, they strike. They are the mos t
dangerous snakes known.

And Now Seeks a Divorce from the Bride
Who Deceived Him.
Detroit, Mich , June IS.—Lovely
goldeu locks are the cause of discord
in the divorce case of PReylan versus
Pheylan, begun yesterday in the Cir
enit Court. Mr. They an is a wealthy
farmer living fifteen miles out on
Michigan avenue. Two years ago
lie married Nettie Rockford, whose
beautiful head of golden hair excited
his profoundest admiration. He was
extremlv fond of his wife, very proud
of her beautiful locks and seemed
happy. Suddenly Phey’an left her
and became mute as an oyster as to
the cause of their sudden separation.
His lips were first opened yesterday,
when his wife filed a hill for divorce
because of his desertion, a.id he filed
a cross hi 1.
Mr. Plifeylan alleges that he discov
ered soon after his marriage that it
angered his wife for him to touch her
hair,and that as she refused to let him
be present when she made her toilet.
He grew suspicious* watched his
chance, peeped over the transon, and
discovered that his wife was
as bald cou d be and that her golden
'ocks were liangi g on a bracket as
she combed them out. He fell to the
floor with a yell and when his wife
had mustered up courage to open the
door and see what was the matter he
had gone, never to return. He alleges
that shedpis grossly deceived him aod
that he. not she, should get the decree.
This is the most singu ar cause ever
assigned in the region in a bill for di
vorce.

Electricity Does Not Hurt.
In view of the fact that the ap
proaching execution by electricity of
Kemmler, the Buffalo murderer, is a
theme of general interest, both among
humanitarians a d the great public,
who await with interest the result of
their untried innovation, the experi
ence of an electric ight employed i"
Virginia City, Nevada, cannot fail to
be interesting. Henry Paul received
a shock from which he remained un
co scions for fifteen minutes, duri- g
which time his heart showed no signs
of pulsation. The palm was bur ed
where he had held the wire. The
current passed down' through the right
side of liis body, leaving no mark save
where it left the foot, the toes of
which were scorched black. Faull
gives the following account of his
sensations:
After graspi g the wire he was im
mediately drawn upward with irresis
tible force and endeavored to shout
for aid, but, although another work
man was but three feet distant, his
voice was not audible. A though sus
pended by his hands, with his toes
resting on the boilerplate floor for
scarce’y a second, Faull says it ap
pears to him that he was in that posi
tion several mi utes. He felt no
pain whatever. This is the last he re
members until restored to conscious
ness.—Free Press.
A Galvestonian Away Has Good Fortune
During.the recent Mardi Gras cele
bration • at New Orleans, a lady from
Galveston while taking in the carnival,
was not forgetful of the fact that it was
near the time for the March drawing of
the Louisiana State Lottery. She invest
ed $1 in a lottery ticket, when she dis
covered that she held one-twentieth of
ticket Xo. 10,420, which drew the second
capital prize of $100,000, thus entitling
her to $5,000. The tickvt was cashed in
this city, being paid over to the repre-
sentative-of the fortunate lady.—Galves

The Postal Telegraph.
It is expected that the new Postal
Telegraph Company will soou be stretch
ing its wires to Athens.
Last week the wires of the company
were strung into the limits of Atlan
ta.
That made the line complete from At
lanta to Augusta.
The gap between Augusta and Char
leston is being rapidly closed, and the
line from Atlanta to Birmingham will
be ready for business by August 1.
So by that date, August 1, the electric
sparks will be eying through the wires
of a rival of the Western Union.
This new line will enter Athens by
the Madison road, and he completed as
soon as the principle cities are connect
ed. This telegraph is build along the
dirt road.

The University of Georgia.
Upoi this p»ge to-day wih be found
an outliue of a plan to submitted'to the
next ‘egislature :or the permanent es
tablishment of the State University
at Athens.
Tliis hi 1, drawn with consummate
skill and the utmost care under t4o
personal supervision of Cliaucel or
Boggs, has received the full and
hearty concurrence of Governor
Gordon, of Senator Brown, of Presi
dent of the Senate Du Bignon, of
Speaker Clay, of the House, and a
large number of leading and promi
nent leg : slators of the general assem
bly. It will also be warmly chain-
poined by the Atlanta Constitution,
no loss warm y by the Atlanta Jour
nal,and will be endorsed by the Alli
ance papers, and two-thirds, or three-
fourths, of the press of the state.
Above all other elements, the people,
who are interested pre-emi..ently in
the success of the bill, will endorse
it.
Surely, under these circumstances,
this bill ought to pass—and it cer
tainly will pass.
It is the people, after all, who are
most interested in the establishment
of a people’s university. Whatever,
criticism may have been indulged in
the past towards the university as the
school for rich men and ari tocrats is
effectually destroyed by this bill,
which gives a free scholarship in every
county to the most meritorious son of
that county, whether he be rich or
poor, aud thereby provides for a ma
jority of students at the university to
come from the ranks of the people
with tuition expenses paid. One
hundred and thirty eight poor boys in
Georgia will be able, if this bill
shou : d pass, to reach that higher edu
cation which alone can place them up
on an equality with the rich in seek
ing the praises, honors and emolu
ments of the wor d. More than any
other bill which has ever bean pre-
>e ted to the Georgia legis ature, it
puts the poor of the state upon an
equality with the rich, and gives the
poor man's son an equal chance to
reach fame and distinction with the
opulent and gilded youth who have in
the past enjoyed a monopoly of these
opportunities.
Afore than this, the bill appropri
ates to common schools $180,000,
which will vastly increase both the
time and attention paid to - the elemen
tary education oj poor children
throughout the,length and bredih of
the state. It helqs every phase of
popular education throughout Geor
gia. The experimental s ation receives
a liberal life, the Technological school
is vitally strengthened by it, the Girls
Industrial school, as yet only in con-
templatio , wili receive its life aud
blood from it, each one of the branch
colleges will have a munificent ad
dition to its annual ineprne and an im
petus give to its usefulness, and the
university, out of all the §300,000
contemplated in the bill, asks only
