THE BANNER, ATIIEXS, GKOKGivA. Juur THE GREAT SLUGGER. — —- HE WILli NEVE II ENTER A PRIZE RINC AGAIN. , f —-A-— \V** T . . ___ ! _ _ Charley Mitchell Wants a Round for $5,000 a Side—Muliloon as a Trainer. TSpec’al to Tlic Banner. New Oki.ka.ns, July 9.—Sullivan, in an interview last night, while on his way from Riehlrttrg to this city, said that he .would never enter the ring again under any consideration, lie had done his share of lighting and wanted no more of it. He certainly did not in tend to fight the California negro, for the simple reason that lie considered it degrading for a white man to place iiimself upon an equality with a negro. His references to Kilrain were of a most pleasant character,and lieexpress- ed the hopeithat Kilrain wasnqt badly dnjured. lie said that lie [Sullivanjhad •.got more effective thumping from Kil- raitf than he had ever received in his life before. Sullivan said that owing to the dislo cation of a knuckle bone in the 70th round he was compelled to make the remainder of the light almost single- handed. . . Sullivan’s friends in this city will give him a banquet if he will reinain to attend. Charlie Mitchell, says he intends chal lenging Sullivan to fight for .$5,000 a side in America within three or four months. Jt is generally conceded by all who witnessed the fight that Sullivan was never in better form, and great credit is given Muliloon for the manner in which he trained and handled his man. I’OOR kii.lv. Kilrain appeared l6 suffer more from mental than physical injury, and was very gloomy. His face didn’t betray the great punishment lie had received. He had a cut under the nose, across both lips, and his left eye was slightly -discolored anil swollen, his right hand ihad been injured by a blow oh Sulli van’s head, and his left instep had been •nut by the spikes on Sullivan’s shoes, ■which cut through the leather of Kil- '.rain’s left shoe. . He had received terri ble punishment about the ribs. He claimed to have been more overcome by the. heat than by the blows of Sullivan, ileferring to the light Kilrain said that fcheluul not been properly trained, and /that lie was not in condition to enter > the ring, and this seemed to be the im pression of everyone who saw him •sssheu. he entered, lie would work and get some money again, lie said, and - would once more make a trial for the • championship). He had Sullivan .‘’done up” twice, he continued, but lie. had not been properly trained and was nna- . ble to take advantage of that. But he \ was willing to fight Sulli van again. PRCW THE MEN WKUE PUNISHED. The only marks on Sullivan , wero a slight cut under tlfe right eye and an other on the left oar. Kilraiu's body showed the effects of Sullivans blows, and he was bleeding at the ears, nose* and mouth. Both men were hurriedly conveyed to the train by their friends anil given attention. Sullivan’s condi tion was superioMo Kilraiu’s, the lat ter looking as if hi* had been over trained. At no time excepting when Sullivan's stomach gave evidence of weakness was there a doubt as to the Anal result of the light. UiNDERTHBWHEELS.

A number of our leading citizens are in favor of amendingthe chavter of Athens so as to hold elections for Mayor and Aldermen every two years instead of annually. We think this a good move. There is nothing,gained by changing officers so frequently, and then it would keep down a great deni of strife and dis cord that wrecks and divides our citi- zene. Hereafter it will be necessary for our people to 'work together in unity and harmony, and it can best be accomplished by removing such apples of discord as elections.' We would like to hear from our readers on this snb-. ject, and fijel assured that Mr. Tuck, •ur,representative, will introduce and champion the necessary bill if lie thinks it the wishes of his constituents.

Wc desire to say to our citizens, that for years we have been selling Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Dr. King’s Life Pills, Bucklcn’s Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as well, or that have given such universal satis- cfation. We do not hesitate to guar antee them every time, and we stand ready to refund * the purchase pjicc, if satisfactory results do not follow their use. These remedies have won their great popularity purely on their merits John Crawford & Co.’s or L. D. Sledge & Co.'s Wholesale and Retail Drug gists. Interview With a Tiger. There are hundreds of people in Ath ens who do not know that whisky is sold in our eity, and if you tell one of those unbelievers that it is sold here, and sold without much fear, they will not believe it. Those who are not behind the scenes and who are known by the tigers, sel dom see the workings of those sightless institutions. Would a man who wants to sell whis ky let the Chief of Police or any of his policemen know that they are selling it? * ' ' Would a blind tiger inform a'preach er that he could furnish him with bear on ice or a morning eoektail? Not a bit of it. Then why do those who do not know, preach and talk about things that they don’t know, and have no means of finding out. A blind tiger informed a reporter yesterday that he was doing a splendid business. He once ran a dray and worked hard for his living, but times have changed, anil he is now in abetter business, and is able, to live without work. “Are there many tigers in the city?” asked the reporter. “They are thick, and can be found on nearly every corner. We know who to sell to aud when so sell it. If a man wants a drink he will pay the price charged regardless of the quality. Those that don’t know about the workings of the tiger have no right to shy that there is no whisky sold in Athens, just because there are no dounk men in the streets. A Duty to Y ourself. It is surprising that people will use a common, ordinary pill .when they can secure a valuable English one for the same money. Dr. Acker’s English pills are a positive cure for sick-lieadache and all lives troubles. They are small', sweet, easily taken and do not gripe. CONNECTING HOADS. Ths Georgia to Connect with the|C. & M. In spite of reports to the contrary, there is no doubt but that the Georgia road is arranging to connect with the C. & M. This week Major G reen was in Athens, and it is understood that his business was' to arrange this matter. No one yet knows by what route the two roads will join, but it is thought to be by a spur to connect with the C. & M. near the cemetery. We learn that the survey passed through part of the lot owned by the Oconee Street church parsonage, and that it has been offered the Hodgson lot, now used as a eity school building and rents for $300 a year, for this privilege. The railroad track will cross Oconee street on a level near the parsonage, hut will not inter fere with that building. "This seems to us as a liberal proposition. Everything now points to a union passenger depot for Athens, .and it is, said that it will be located near Gann & Murray’s s&Ule. Pimples on the Pace ' Denote an impure state of the blood and are looked upon, by many with sus picion. Acker’s Blood Elixir will, re move all impurities and leave the com plexion smooth and clear.

Excursionists to the Big Fight En counter a Novel Experience. Special to The Banner. New Orleans. July 9.—A number of No. them nitending visitors to the big fight who arrived here this morning by the Mobile and Ohio Railroad had an experience just above Meridian last night which they are not likely to for get in a hurty. » Among the passengers were four ne groes. brothers, who formerly lived at Meridian, and who killed seven white men in an election fracas there four years ago. They escaped, went to St. Louis, where they married and settled down. A Mississippi constable heard of their whereabouts, got a requisition for them, and arrested them in St. Louis on the Fourth of July. ■ Word was telegraphed to the con ductor of the train that a force of armed men would .intercept his train for the purpose of taking the negroes off and lynehing them, and he was or dered not to stop until he got to Merid ian. The negroes were locked in a baggage car, and the baggage master got in the cab of the engine with the engineer and fireman. All the passengers in the cars, includ ing those in the sleepers, were made to lie down on the floors of the cars at a given signal—four blasts from the en gine whistle—ami the train dashed by the station at full speed. As it did several volleys were fired at it by the crowd in waiting. Three windows were shattered by balls and several of the ears were struck by them. The negroes were taken off to Merid ian in the presence of a great crowd, aud the conductor of the train thinks that they will be lynched. SEGROES FOR OKLAHOMA. Scheme of » Kansas Politician to Point negro Colony There. Special to The Banner. Topeka. Kansas, July 9.—W. L. Edeelson, a prominent negro politician of this state, is the prime mover in a scheme to iuduce the negroes of the south to emigrate to Oklahoma. He has organized an emigration company composed of some of the prominent colored men of this state, and he ex pects to have one hundred thousand colored people in Oklahoma by next July. He intends tb go south himself shortly. _ ELECTRIC FLASHES. Two Ways of Tolling a Story.

HOW THE LEAGUE COLLAPSED. There Was No Money in Baseball in the South. Special-to Tlie Banner. Atlanta, July 9.—Mr. W. B. Doas, who was president of the Atlanta Base ball Association, lias received from Mr. T. D. Wharton, president of the South ern league, a letter announcing tlie Col lapse of baseball in the South. The letter,* given below, explains why the league was disbanded. Be sides the causes given by Mr. Wharton, the interest in the prize fight of Sulli van and Kilrain made baseball a tame amusement and drew away all the audi ence to discuss the approaching mill.

'The old Atlanta play ers, amateur and professional, will take part and a good game is expected. The game will probably be played Sat urday or on Monday afternoon at Pe ter’s park. J. A.

A Great Day Down at Farmington—One Thousand People Present. The barbecue at Price’s park yes terday was a most pronounced success. Every train from Athens and Madison brought scores of people, and by noon the crowd was estimated at one thous and people. Dancing was one of the chief features of the day, aud was freely participated in by the young folks during the.entire day. The barbecue spread was one of the finest we have ever seen. The cooking was superintended by Mr. Price, him self, and he had the best cooks in Geor gia. Nearly forty carcasses were over the fire at one o’clock and were roasted until noon and were simply delicious when served. After the dinner the speaking began. Dr. Carlton's speech on the “Sunny Southland” was a-imiroll of eloquence and power of language. It was pro nounced by all to be one of his very best efforts. Hon. F. G. duBignon was expectedto speak,but was providentially prevented from being pi-esent, much to the disappointment of all. A match game of ball between IVat- kinsville and Madison attracted the crowd in the afternoon, resulting in a score ofT4 to G in favor of Madison. The Madison boys are good ball play ers all d arc in fine trim. They are without doubt the best amateurs in the State, and eould vie with the Pop and Go’s of old. Mr. Price did all in his power to* make the . occasion pleasant to all, and that liis efforts were successful in the extreme everybody can testify. Many of the visitors said;it was the most en joyable day they had ever spent, .all in all. . T he tPark is a beautiful place and Tin: Banner man thought with longing of pride, of Athen£ wheri her parks are established. Mr. Price had it well prepared fo* the occasion, having seats, swings, and a dancing platform for the pleasure and comfort of the guests. It was a success ir was ind' A large crowd large public park that will becstablisli- ed on the outskirts of the town, there will be several sniall ones in the midst of the city. . The lot upon which Mr. Coleman’s up-town store was lately burned would be admirably adapted for a small park, and there is already a movement in the direction of making one of it. The citizens living in that vicinity are speaking of purchasing the lot and making a park at once. The list of subscriptions has already been headed for this purpose, and will be handed to the other residents near by. It Mill be but little expense to plant out shade trees and Shrubbery and Lover the ground M ith grass sod. In conversation with one of the* lead ing movers of this enterprise The Ban ner learned that the lot Mould be bought very soon and the work of mak ing it a park M ould be speedily com menced. The. neighboring residents hope to make a beautiful little triangu lar park there and then sell it to the city if possible. But u’hether the city will purchase it or not the park will' be es tablished. This M ould speak well for the citizens u*ho live on Prince avenue and Hill street. It M'ouhl be of incalculable val ue to them too, for their oum lots ivould be enhanced in value. To Mrs. Craw ford’s school it Mould be a benefit be yond measure. The faet is the lot as it non’ is, will be an eye sore to the eity, and an injury to all propety in that neighborhood. The movement is a good one, and meet3 'The Banner’s hearty co-opera tion. It is truly gratifying to see the Athenians at last coining to the full realization of their duty to their eity. There is no reason in the 1 world why Athens can’t he made the prettiest lit- little city in the South. Milledge ave nue with its beautiful laM-ns and -shady trees is already noted throughout Ga., and M'ith the large park on the suburbs, which will be one of the first invest ments of the Land company; -with the college campus in the business portion of the city; M itli the court house yard ■and the little park just mentioned, on Prince avenue, Athens can furnish some of the prettiest drives and M alks to he found any where in this seetion of the country. \ The city council should hot wnt Tor the Land company in the matter of es tablishing parks ir. the eity. They should look around at once, u hile the land is cheap and buy suitable tracts for this purpose. r l’he Land company 'wilt have enough todo. ' Nearly every eity in Georgia bas one or more parks. Why should, Athens, the classic city of the # state, and noted for its people of icstlietic fancies, be behind the rest? It will not be so. The work has fairly begun, and in this, as M'.eU as the other enterprises, Athens is preparing to march forward and take tlie lead of Georgia cities. “One breaks tl<eglass mid ettis Ms fingers; But they who Truth ami Wisdom lead, Cnn gather honey from a weed.”- Those M ho are wise, and who love the truth, M ill believe what we say Miien we tell them that Dr.. Price’s Favorite. Prescription has done more to relieve, the sufferings of women, than ail other medicines now known' to science. It cures all irregularities, internal inflam mation sud ulceration, displacements and kindvek troubles. It is the. only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee froth the manufacturers, that it will give satis faction in every case, or money M ill be refunded. This guarantee has been printed on the bottle-u’rapper,and faith fully carried out for many years. Back on His Friends. The negroes of the South do not seem to relish the fact that Boston, the head-cutter of redieulism^as gone back on the negro,'u'hen John L. Sulli van, the great American slugger, says that he certainly did not intend to fight the California negro for the simple rea son that he considered it entirely too degrading for a u hite man to place himself on an equality with a negio. This comes from the leading slugger of Boston, where the negro ought .to have the most friends. How can they ex pect positions from the President when the sluggers refuse to \meet them iu the ring. p, MPLE3 TO SCROfijj, 1 Psoriasis 8 Ycars-mCT * a Sowl Arinj . , Best Doctors and viio^ cured bjr Culu-u^ 1 M VI ^vTICCRa Soap c nits skin ami scjiIh #u. ’ ^ 1 had it for right and worse at times.'s,',”'' 1 WoSfi 1 he a solid scab, ami J-t’hcr w»*r. r »n!i| i w ?paD, ami \vnw m esn 'v use of the Ci-TicntA covered with scabs from™ 1 * 1 **- dera, my bi-east was j,lmoit my back covered withsoni a penny to a d^Bar. i& V ”^S* best doctors with no C ferent medicines Skin Disease 6 YearCr'”'^*.!
