Norwood, August 16.—We were glad

of the damaging influence of the Mor

The facts are these: On last Monday
morning about fifteen of our best citi

dwelling of Mr. Filmore Moore,a farmer
living on a plantation belonging to Dr.
W. H. Pilchet, in the Elim district.

THE TERRY KILLING.
Attorney General Miller Thinks Nagle
Justifiable.
Special to the Banner.
Ixdiaxapoi.18, August 16.—Attorney'
General Miller was seen again at his
residence yesterday,and asked if he had
anything further to say about the
shooting of Judge Terry by Marshall
Nagle. He replied:
“I see from the papers that the ac
tion of the deputy is pretty generally
endorsed. It appears to be considered
that Nagle’s presence was necessary
and his action justifiable. I do not
care to speak of the legal aspect of the
case: I do not know any' case analogue
iu our history, and I do not recall that
it has ever been necessary' before to
provide protection for a United States
judge. If the case comes to trial, I sup
pose I will he called to testify, but I
question there will ever be a trial. The
grand jury may refuse to act, or the cor
oner’s jury may find it a case of justifi
able homicide. I have not examined
the legal side of the question, however.
I thought protection of officers of the
law might be necessary, and I knew
something about the desperate charac
ter of the man whom Justice Fields
had to deal with. I thought of trouble
when the trial began, but of course I
did not ‘look for it at a way station or
upon a train. If the Justice’s life was
in danger, though, he was as much
entitled to the protection of the officer
at an eating house as in a court room or
upon the bench.”
Though the Attorney-General was
very guarded in his utterances, his
language indicated very plainly that
lie believed Deputy' Nagle fully justi
fied in shooting Terry.
A MODERN MARCAXTOXY.
Stockton, Cal., August 16.—Judge
Porter, of {Arizona,'one of Taylor’s
friends, will deliver an oration at the
funeral of Terry this afternoon. He
say's he will go for Justice Field, and

murder. A number of citizens declare
that if Porter does this they will stop

Atlanta, Ga., August 16.—Four or
five.hundred Confederate veterans from
all parts of Georgia met in the old eapi
tol Thursday at noon, for the purposed
of organizing a State Veterans’ associa
tion.
Judge W. Lowndes Calhoun,of Atlan

doing so made a fine address. He gave
a history of the veterans’ association and
spoke in glowing terms of the men who

31r. B. P. Wheeler, representing the
great jute bagging manufacturing firm
of Bullard & Wheeler, of New York,
was in Athens this week. So soon as
The Banner learned.of 31r. Wheeler’s
business, a reporter sought him out to
learn the latest news from the trust
that tlie Farmers* Alliance is fighting so
bitterly.
Mr. Wheeler we found in conference
with one of our wholesale merchants,
but they were not discussing the sub
ject of jute bagging, as every Athens
merchant has resolved to stand firmly by r
the farmers and their fight.
We at onee introduced the subject by
asking Mr. Wheeler the latest news
from the seat of war onTiis side—was be
selling much jute bagging in Geor
gia?
‘1 do not not think I have sold a roll
in your State myself,” was the reply,
“but my firm lias received orders that
are hold-loeks for future shipment. I
am not trying to sell my bagging to the
Georgia merchants, for to talk jute
about this time would he like striking a
match in a powder magazine. I am
simply traveling through tlie cotton
States, on a tour of inspection.”
Are your jute manufactures not sell
ing any bagging then?”
Ob, yes, we feel no fear but that we
will sell as much as usual, or all we can
make. We have already placed orders
in Texas for enough of our bagging to
bale three-fourths the crop of that State,
while all the large cotton planters in
tlie Mississippi valley are ordering jute.
You see there is a difference of fully one
dollar per bale to the planter in favor of
jute over cotton bagging, and the big
planters cannot afford to lose this. Be
sides, in the West there are not so many
mills convenient at hand, where infe
rior beled cotton can find ready sale and
be successfully used.”
“Are there not many Alliancemen,
then,out West?”
Oh, yes, a great many, and they are
pretty strong in Texas; but they do
not carry their opposition to jute bag
ging so as to makt! a financial saenfTC?
io forget it. While a mate raising fifty
or a hundred bales of cotton can afford
to make the sacrifice necessary to use
cotton bagging, the farmer who grows
his thousands of bales is not so patri
otic.”
“You think, then that the Georgia
farmers will stand by these colors aud
fight the battle to the end?”
“Yes, l do,” replied 31r. Wheeler,
as will also many planters in the other
Eastern cotton States, but it will not
materially effect the jute bagging man
ufacturers, as we will supply bagging
for their cotton all the same.”
“How so?” we asked.
“This year the cotton crop will exceed
8,000.000 bales. I have traveled all over
the South, and never saw such prospects
in my life. Out .West, it is not a ques
tion how much cotton the farmers will
make, bnt what they can gather. The
NO MAN S LAND.
One Hundred Aeres in Carroll Comily
Looking for an Owner.
Special to The B:>nner.
Atlanta, August 17.—In Carroll

no owner can he found. The tract, em

No. 107 in tlie ninth district of the
county.
When the land in this section was
given out or sold about 1821, this strip,
whoh is next to the Alabama line, was
left untaken.
For some unexplained reason this
land has remained unoccupied, and no
notice has been taken of it until within
the last two weeks.
About a dozen people from Carroll
county have been into tho secretary of
state’s office asking about the land, and
one of them offered 31 r. Ben Davis, one
of the clerks, one hundred dollars if lie
con’d find any record of its being given
or sold.
The record could not be found, so the
secretary cf state, will order tlie sheriff
to sell the land at public outcry to the
highest bidder.
Land in this section is worth about
ten dollars an aero, but it is thought
gold has been discovered on this strip
which accounts for the anxiety of so
many to find traces of its being sold.
Tare on Cotton.
Sp eclat to the Banner.
Atlanta, Ga., August 17.—Judge
John T. Henderson, Georgia’s Com
missioner of Agriculture, has returned
from New York, where lie went as a
member of the committee from agricul
tural commissioners of tlie South to
confer with the cotton exchange as to
tlie tare on cotton wrapped iu cotton
bagging.
With Judge Henderson were Messrs,
nooil, of Tennessee; Butler, of South
Carolina, and Chonoy, of Alabama.
The New York cotton exchange
passed strong resolutions iu favor of the
position taken by the Southern planters
and recommended Liverpool to grant a
reduction on tare on account of cotton
covering for the staple.
The action of the New Orleans board
was read in the presence of the. South
erner.' Thfe New Orleans exchange
met successfully all opposition from the
exchange in Liverpool.
Judge Henderson thinks tlie English
exchange will be forced to grant a re
duction in cotton tare.
