THE OLIVE BILL.
The passage of the Olive bill would
be a calamity to Georgia.
When Hon. J. T. Olive, of Oglie-
tfliorpe, on the heels of the great rail
road scoop in Georgia, first introduced
hie bill annulling the consolidation of
rival railway lines, it appeared a most
yvise and timely measure, and met with
the support of many good and patriotic
-■men, even receiving the endorsement
o>f the Farmer’s Alliance.
But this shows the folly of too has
ty a decision upon a question,and espec
ially one involving such an iinportaut
.matter as the.railroad interests of our
•State. Already new light is breaking
upon our people, and they realize the
fact that the passage of the Olive bill by
the Georgia Legislature would not only
retard the prosperity of oflr State for at
least a decade, but defeat the very end
that it is intended to subserve. This as
sertion we can make plain to every in
telligent and thinking man, wo be
lieve. ., .
Never within the history of our State
waiTsucli a railroad boom hovering over
it. The Northern capitalists have dis
covered in Georgia a.new and inviting
field for the investment of their surplus
money, and in the next two years—if
we will not place tpo many restrictions
on railroads—millions of money will be
invested in new lines, traversing every
section of our great State—advancing
the value of property many fold, devel
oping our hidden mineral wealth, aud
greatly increasing the public rev;-,
nne. >
But there is nothing more tinu r jus
than one million dollars,unless it be two
million dollars. Jf there is the slight-
jeat impediment raised or doubt felt as
-the safety of an investment, it will
=at once *eek some other channel.
UlSros. it is with the Northern capital
now ready to invest in new railroad en
terprises in Georgia. If ample protec
tion is guaranteed by the Legislature
to these corporations, hundreds of miles
of new lines will be built; but let such
a measure as the Olive bill become a law,
and you will see an instant check upon
railroad building, and Georgia will find
herself far behind in the march of pro
gress. i q .
Again, there is ho earthly necessity
for the enactment of such a dictatorial
and usurpation measure as the Olive
bill. The Interstate aril Georgia
Railroad Commissioners* give ample
protection to the people against contin
uation or extortion by railroads; and It
is in the power of these bodies to make
the roads transport freight and passeu-
gers at any price they may deem proper,
limited only by the courts of our State.
With such power vested in-tlie represent-
tatives of the people, and such restrict
tlons and-checks placed upon railways,
it is a matter now impossible for then,
to extort more than legitimate charged
for their patrons.
Now that the* State has taken upon
itself the privilege of dictating to the
railroads what their tarift* rates must be,
it seems but just and equitable that
these roads should have the privilege of
formingsu^li combinations as will lessen
expenses, and so manage their property
as to best subserve their pecuniary in
terests.
Corporations, as well as indi-.
viduals, have their rights,
and it is but justice that the capitalists
who invest their money in these gieat
arteries of commerce—that do so much
to build us and develop the country—*
should have a fair return on their in
vestment, and be permitted to operate
and manage their property as they deem
best, so long as they do hot trespass
tipon the rights of their patrons, which
is a matter impossible with pur present
1 QtlvAOfl ~ ..4.2 -L _ n 1 ■«
It will be remembered that at the last
meeting of the legislature Senator Jlc-
Cahty introduced a bill which provid
ed for a uniform system of text books
to be used in our public.schools for fire
years.
The mere faet that this bftSvas intro
duced bv such a man as Senator Mc-
Cakty is one reason why it should have
the careful ami earnest consideration of
our people. The author of this bill is a
clear-headed, thoughtful man; lie has
/hi into; eat of the people'’ of Georgia
very neat his hear);; and furthermore
he is a teacher of much experience,who
has given much thought to all the prob
lems relating to education.
But the fact that the bill bears Mc
Carty’s name is by no means its only
recommendation. It is a good jthifg in
,and of itself. In the first ^1^6, th$
State hy making contrails, for great
quantities of books could be able to get
them at greatly reduced rates,- much
cheaper than they can be gotten under
the present system where every county
has its own hooks.
Again, under the present system the
buying of school books is a great tax on
the peopled Teachers,to suit some whim
of their own, are constantly changing
the books, and compelling children'to
buy new ones. A man moving from
one county to another is forced to buy
an entirely new set of books for his
children. • il ,'i
Then with a uniform system of books
these books will be like so much money
in the hands of the parents,'’"'for when
the children have finished with them
theyosnf be resold.School TJopkf would
then become a sort pf i nvestim&ii. :
Looking at the mafter frdnv am ^edu
cational point of view, such a system as
the one proposed would be of-gre$b ben
efit. It is but natural that children
should be
idea of a S'
If the citizen, who is not a stockhol
der in a railroad company, has interest
in it, beyond the rates for freight and
passengers, and the character of the
service given, we would like to know
what it is. Take a farmer or merchant
of apy other man in Clarke county, who
is not a stockholder, and the interest
he lias in a railroad is to have his freight
of himself carried safely, speedily and
cheaply. *\Vc come in contact with the
railroads in one of the two ways only,
as passengers or as shippers of freight.
Let auy man who reads this, sit down
and think, and lie will find that these
are the only ways in which the railroad
company affects him. If lie can travel
cheaply, safely aud rapidly as a passen-
f er or ship his freight in the same way,
e gejs $11 he wants from the railroad.
Iiere is no other way in which he
ines into contact with it. He has no
right or interest or concern that is or
can be affected unless he is a passenger
Or a shipper. lie cares not whether
they run or stop, unless he wants to
ride or ship something, or buy some
thing that he has sliipped by others.
"What difference does it make, therefore,
to us, who owns the railroads? If we
can ride on them just as cheaply, safely
and rapidly, and ship our freight in
like ‘manner, what difference does it
make to, us;whether one man owns them
all, or whether ^liey belong to a thou
sand men. If that one owner furnishes
just as good a service at the same cost,

some of the supporters of liis measure

to almost begin over again in bis work.
The Fanners’ Alliauce has taken a
decided stand against .tliis bill. But
we cannot help thinking. that they
have acted hastily. To the farmer,
above all men, will this measure be of
great benefit, and we hope that the

Yesterday afternoon, at 4
Will Jackson, the negro charged with
a dastardly assault upon the person of
the little factory girl, Mary Archibald,
came up for a hearing before Justices
Evens and Fuller.
There was an unusually large atten
dance of whites present, principally
friends of Mrs. Archibald, but only half
a dozen colored people.
Mary was on hand, and accompanied
by herjnother aud younger sister and
Mrs. Gunter, a neighbor. •
When the case w as called, Will Jack-
son stated that be bad not engaged
counsel,having depended on his mother
to employ him a lawyer, but the old
woman did not even make her appear
ance. At this instant Col. Blanton
Noble appeared, and at the suggestion
of Judge Fuller, Jackson engaged his
services, when a short conference w r as
held between the client and Mary
the grand jury room.
A. P. Henley, Esq., appeared for the
State, and announced ready.
The examination of witnesses then
ensued, and tlieir testimony- was the
same as published in The Banner
the day after the arrest.
Mary Catherine Archibal sworn: On
July 20tli I was coming from Mrs. Gun
ter’s on my way home, by myself, and
did not stop on the way. Saw Will
Jackson some - distance off", and passed
him, in reaching distance, Some four
or five steps when he addressed me with
an Infamous proposition. [Mary wrote
on a slip of paper the negro’s exact
words, and handed it to the, court]
There were bushes and trees, rock - and
gully near ns. Jackson used other
words, but I-did not catch them. .1 ran
off, and:did not look back, until ! got
in the gate at home. Then I told him

Capt. D. C. Oliver, B. O. W. Rose
and others testified as to]the eonfession
made by Jackson both iii the jail and
calaboose, which is as already published
in The Banner. He made these con
fessions voluntary, and without threats
or inducements of any kind.
The prisoner’s statement was the only
testimony introduced by the pefense.
He said ;
“I was sitting down on a crosstie
at the end of the railroad cut. Mary
Archibald ran by and squatted down
by a pine tree on the hillside. She was
eating sdinething, And the remark^ that
I addressed to her were intended as a
request for her t* divide what she had
in her hand with me. The little girl re
plied that I would get- myself into
trouble. ,1 did not mean anything

when she left. I could have gotten

An Improbable Story From a Classic
City Policeman.
We stopped the press at three o’clock
this morning to repeat a startling
story which has just reached The Ban
ner office from police headquar
ters.
It seems that last night, w hile Police
man Good rum was taking a bath,he saw
a dirtdauber dying in a threatening
manner toward him.
This lynx-eyed officer of the law, who
is ever on the alert for evil doers, mis
took the dauber for a wasp and decided
that It had some design upon his sacred
person. So seizing his club, that was
lying near by, he made a strike at the
intruding insect and suceeeeded in de
capitating it as neatly and effectually
as a guillotine would do during' the
reign of terror. Mr. Goodrnm stated
tllat so soon as the dirtdauber discov
ered the accident, he looked around for
his head, and found it lying on the fioor
near the bath tub. The dauber at once
made for the missing head, and pro
ceeded to neatly 'glue it upon his should
ers. Seeming to have some doubt about
the completeness of his work the insect
stood upon its head, evidently with the
attention of fastening the several parts
on more securely. It then started to
fly, but the head fell from his body
again, but this did not disturb his daub-
ership in the slightest degree, for it
went on its way rejoicing.
At last accounts the head was still
alive.
Now it is not the actions of the dauber
that we speak of as improbable story,
for we can swallow this with very little
salt,hut that part of the narrative whfch
speaks of one of .our police voluntarily
taking a bath, seems to us like piling
the agony on our credulity.

Mr. A..R, Robertson, our Marble and
Granite Merchant, says our people make
a great mistake in purchasing Marble or
Granite. Monuments from drummers or
traveling agents, with the impression
that they are doing better than they can
here in Athens, Ga. Mr. Robertson says
he keeps up with all the new and late'st
Designs in the Monument business, and
will guarantee that his prises are at least
ten per cent, lower than any other Mar
ble or Granite dealer in the United
States ; and our people • will do much
better to go apd see Mr. Robertson at
the ^Marble yard, when they want to
purchase a Marble or Granite Monument,
and he will guarantee first-class work
at mu jh lower prices than you can get
from any other Marble or Granite Dealer
in the United States. tf.
