THE BANKER, ATHENS, THSOKGIA, NOVSMHF.il >6, 1889. £THE LESSON OF THE FAIR. • The e;;nr*s of the Northeast JGeorgia tock and Foultry Show are closed, and ihe Fair ground* so 1 .rely resounding e the el:ei r* cf tile multitude, aie si lent and dosu.rled. . ft> >- R a. BiitJljPaftiir which has ju?t closer* has a great am: glorious lesson which should he taught to every citizen of Athens, and thoroughly impressed up on every one who loves our city’s wel- Jarc; a lesson which will have fruit ar. hundred fold to the good of Athens; and whose influence will be felt years hence in the upbuilding of the Athens oftthe future. That lesson is this; Whenever citi- *ons, (it matters not how few), throw aside all their lethargy aud in the gen erosity ts give up their 111 business temporarily for the good of the city, it follows inevitably that tri umph will perch itself upon their ban ners, and both city and individual will bo benefited in the highest degree. This lesson has had a forcible demon stration in our midst in the fair which has just closed. It has b» en the custom to hold a fair every year: there was a regular organization for that purpose; but the directors said it was too late, and hence they could not hold the fair. It was then proposed to turn it over to the Farmers’ Alliance aud let them hold it, but they were too busy to do it justice. A few eitizeus came to the rescue, however, with a rush. r lhey cauic determined to hold a great and a successful fair; to help build up Ath ens; to advertise her interests and bring more capital into her midst; and above all to show her citizens that a fair could be held this year. These men were: W. S. Holman, C. W. Baldwin, E. T. Brown, C. D. Flan- igen, G. T. Hodgson, 11. C. White, John N. Booth, T. L. Gantt, John T. Voss, and J. Y. Carithers. What success has crowned their ef forts a glance at the results of the fair will tell. Despite the difficulties which confronted them and the obstacles met at every point, they worked steadily on. The press aided them and the citi zens seeing that they meant business -came over to them and helped them to success. The fair gave Athens a show, the equal of which has never been seen in tills section of the State. Old and young, rich and poor took a hand in it and were greatly interested in its success It gave Athens the longest, and most enthusiastic demonstration she ever saw in the great parade of Tuesday morn ing. It gave her the largest crowd evef assembling within her limits and on Alliance day collected twenty thou sand people arouud her. It gave her attractions the like of which she never had before. These arc a few of the results of the North East Georgia Fair. That it was a benefit to Athens no one can deny. It will bring people here to live; it will bring money here in the future; it has already left money here: it will enliven business; and its influence will be felt for some time to come. Moreover it will start a progressive and public spirited movement which will develop the city and benefit its citi zens. Thele6son it teaches should be in culcated on every mind. These ten di rectors entered into this fair under difficulties and obstacles; they worked hard and success crowned their efforts The same thing is in store for all. Work must be done, and hard work at Hi at, but in the end all will be repaid Athens is at a crisis now, ami ncods her citizens to work for her. Let the lesson of the fair be taken by every cit izen of Athens and be the criterion by which to judge all future efforts. Unit ed effort and aim and public spirit can build a city great, and grand, and there i£ no* reason why Athens should not call her citizens into the field to help wise her to the topmost round. ALLIANCE DAY. The Alliance Day at the fairlias come and gone and as Tin: Banner had pre dicted, it was the grandest day of the >air. It was a perfect success in every particular and rellects great credit both on the directors who arranged it and the farmers who bj- their presence made it the complete success that it was. The public speaking was a good op- portunity for the farmers of North East Georgia to get together and mutually study their interests. Hon. {L. F. Liv ingston’s remarks were plain and to the point arid he gave the farmers some pointers that they will carry home witb them for future reference. Alliance day has been all that it could have been. It has brought the farmers of Georgia together and they have in public shown their loyalty to their order in more ways than one. The Alliance tripple wedding was an evidence of how loyal the young farm ers are to the Alliance. It will be re membered that the Athens fair directors first originated the idea of an Alliance wedding in cotton bagging and thePied- mont and Gainesville fairs took up the idea before the Athens fair came off. But Athens Alliance wedding day has been the greatest success of them all and the couples were received as tor- dially and welcomed as heartilily as human hospitality could give. Athens was honored by the presence of the thousands of AUiancemen on the grounds, and showed her appreciation of the honor most graciously. The cit izens of Athens are hand in hand with the Alliance and the AUiancemen have been convinced of it by yesterday’s ovation. We fail to see how any loyal citizen; can conscientiously oppose the paving law for Athens upon the ground that W is unnecessary. The paved sidewalks are an absolute need of Athens at pres ent. The sidewalks are in miserable condition and the city is annually P 11 to a very great expense keeping them in repair. This expense could be saveu and in less than five years the pave ments would pay for themselves. They are a need because they would enhance the value of property almost fifty per cent over its present value. Again, we need the paved sidewalks because Athens has lingered iu the rear t>f Georgia’s prosperous cities long enough. The paving law is necessary,it is just, and it has been proved constitutional and any citizen who carries it to the courts will get left. SUNDAY REST. A congress was recently held in Paris for the purpose of discussing the question of Sunday rest. At the open ing session letters were read from Pres ident Harrison and Mr. Gladstone in which both argue for such a day of rest as Sunday, irrespective of any re ligious significance that may attach to the day. The medical and philosophi cal aspect of the case was considered as well as the question whether Sunday rest was practicable, especially, in those large centers in which work must be carried on uninterruptedly, because of the machinery is attended with con siderable cost. Mr. Jules Pagny, Brussels manufacturer, gave as his opinion that a day of rest could be ar ranged for in all industries and with out a loss. There was, however, consid erable opposition to this opinion. The congress finally adopted the following resolutions: 1. Sunday as a day of rc3t is possible in all industries,but in differing degrees Sunday is the day which best suits em ployer and employee, as well from the stand-point of the individual as from that of home life. It is best to have the day of rest the same for all as much as possible. 2. When for technical or other reasons it is impossible to take Sunday as a day of rest arrangements must be made to haye some other day set apart for the purpose, so that.the workinau may have 52 free days in the year; these days t( occur at as regular intervals as possible This rest enables man to render better work in that it refreshes his physical powers. The congress also recommended that wages be not paid on Saturday or Sun day, but on some other day, as for in- staucc, Friday. A SCAFFOLD HORROR The Hangman’s Bungling Work with Murderer Hillman. SLOWLY STRANGLED TO DEATH. SSjT WINE OF CARDUI, a Tonic for Women. Athens originated the Alliance wed ding idea, and carried it out m the grandest kind of style. The crowds in Athens yesterday were the largest ever seen in the Classic City. Athens is getting a move on her. The ICniglits of Labor seem to be taking in Atlanta. This organization is not as stroug now as it was a year or two since. The Alliance couples lingered over in Athens yesterday and took in the at tractions at the fair. The are now firmly aud forever tied to Alliance principles. The Farmers’ Alliance of Georgia was never on a better foundation than now and the farmers are beginning to see the clear light of a brighter morning. Atlanta seems to be undergoing the trials of selecting municipal officers. It has about been settled that a mass meet ing shall be held to select them. An other white man’s city!

Tb« Noose Slip* anil tlie Sickened Spec tators Watcli the Sufferer’s Struggles. A Brief Confession on the Gallows. The Boomed Man Bears Up Bravely and Announces That He Is Going to Heaven. . Woodbury, N. J. t Nov. 15.—Joseph M. Hillman was hanged in the jail here for the murder of Herman Seideman, a peddler, on Nov. 9, 188S. Hillman passed his last night on earth very peacefully, and arose bright and He still kept up his wonderful, nerve and when visited by Sheriff Ridgway after breakfast, said he was feeling fine, and all ready for the affair, but the sooner it was over the better., He ate a hearty breakfast of fried eggs, milk toast and coffee, and was then shaved by John Rachor, the barber. His father and brother called to see him and were admitted for the last interview before the hanging. The Rev. Mr. Nobles and Evangelist Carter were admitted to the jail and until the hour of execution re mained with him, offering him spiritual consolation and praying and singing with him. Scene at the Gallows. Escorted by the sheriff and flanked on either side by a minister, the condemned man came into the corridor. He was calmer than most of the spectators, and as he came in he cast a swift glance around the throng and then aloft at the gallows. Hillman was taken to the side of the corridor and the black cap adjusted on his head by Hangman Van Hise, but was not pulled down. Then he bade good-by to the sheriff and the two cler- 8 men. kissing each affectionately on e cheek. Then he was led over under the gallows, and Hangman Van Hise pinioned his arms above the elbows and at the wrists, but the straps were not drown tight enough as subsequent events showed. A C*nf«*sl*n on Ikt Gallows. Sheriff Ridgway asked the condemned man if he had anything to say, and in a •leer, firm voice he said: My dear friends, I’m hers, sad I am going to heaven. The words that l am going to say ’ are: My wife had nothing to do with it. I am THE BASEBALL MEETINGS • The Longue Fettles Sutcllffa’g Cn»o—Tha i AMfiliation Deadlock Unbroken j New York, Nov. 15.—The deadlock in the association meeting over the choice of a president continued until after having taken 128 ballots without reaching a result an adjournment was taken. At the league meeting the report'of the board of directors and the playing rules committee were received and ac cepted. Mr. A. G. Spaulding, chairman of the special committee appointed last spring to consider grievances of league players, then submitted the report of that com mittee. The report quotes the corres pondence had between ilie biotkerhood ; officials and the league concerning tbo alleged violation by the latter of the agreement entered into with the broth erhood in reference to the non-reduction of “reserved” players. The report states that the only instance cited by the rep resentatives of the brotherhood as being a violation of agreement wai that Sut cliffe^ of the Cleveland plub, had re ceived $2,000 salary from the Detroit club in 1878 and had signed with the Cleveland club for 18s9 at the classifica tion figure of $1,750. Mr. Spalding suggested to the presi dent of the brotherhood that the con ference upon this case be postponed and that afterward when he endeavored to bring about a conference Mr. Ward said the brotherhood committee had been dismissed and could not consider it. After hearing the facts of the case the meeting decided to pay to Sutcliffe the alleged reduction of $250’ in hi3 salary, although denying the justice of his claim. The league did not consider this solitary case of sufficient importance to provoke a quarrel with the brotherhood. KNIGHTS OF LABOR. IA CAT! It has been clearly ami fully demon strated that stale exhibits, and a few ears of corn or wheat, will never draw a crowd or interest one if it should come. People don’tj mind looking at ex hibits, but'they come to a fair to have a good time, and this is the end to be sought in getting up a fair. This was done by our fair and it has been a glo rious success. gallows and fell back with a jerk. A Horrible Scene. Then ensued probably one of the most horrible scenes ever witnessed at an ex ecution. The noose failed <fo tighten, ' and the knot slipped around from the j wretch's throat, behind and above his right ear. His shrieks and groans were heartrending and many of the spectators ! turned away their faces. For a moment ; it looked as though Hillman's head t would slip through th* noose, j In his struggles he succeeded in par- ; tiallv freeing his hands, and he reached and convulsively clutched at the CLOSING DAY. PLEDGER’S BAD ADVICE. William Pledger, the colored politi- oian of Atlanta, will get himself into trouble with the federal authorities if he is not more careful with the advice lie gives to the people of his race. He ■ oid led a conyehtion of his followers some time ago to meet in Atlanta on Nov 12, and subsequently announced that the convention was postponed. A good many of the delegates did not hear of the postponement-, however, and were present on the day originally fixed for the meeting. Pledge* made, a speech to these delegates, and among other things he advised them to do all they could to influence the black to shun the censusj takers £next June/.C S0 that Georgia’s population would appear to bo much smaller than it is. His pur pose was, lie said, to cause Georgia to lose several of her congressmen, as rep resentation of congress is based upon population. Pledger seem3 to have forgotton ^that the census is take under a fedeial law, *ud it ths census is taken under a fed eral law, aud if tlie colored people were to act upon, his advice they would, iu effect, be guilty of conspiring to. de feat that law. There may be no pun ishment for a conspiracy of that kind, hut if therejisn’t^tliere ought to be. 1 Colored men like Pledgor are obsta cles in the way of the progress of their race. They have no desirejto see theii race advance. They are guided wholly by selfish motives, and would willingly sacrifice the best interests of tlieir race to gain a point for themselves. It i doubtful if Pledger can point to a sin gle thing in his whole career that lias been hopeful to the colored people.— uvannnah News. To-day is the last day of the greatest fair ever held in Northeast Georgia, and large crowds of people-will go out to see the last of the attractions. This year has been one of plenty and abundance, and one of glorious seasons and bountiful harvests. It seems as if Providence has been with the people throughout the year, and hence the Northeast Georgia fair was held as a few days of festivity and rejoicing. During this week the weather has been propitious and the grounds have been crowded with visitors. On Athens’ Day and on Alliance Day the throng of people was immense, {and evinced the interest felt in the success of the fair. That the fair has been a great success no one will deny. But today is the closing day, and will be the last chance to see the attractions. There will be the usual attractions, such as the Wild West, balloon ascension, races^etc. It will be one year before the people of this section will be offered another show like the one now closing.

We are glad to see that the city is going right along with the execution of the new paving law, and that while some few are complaining that it is unjust and unnecessary the great ma jority are endorsing the measure with tlieir hearty co-operation and assist ance. There are always a few croakers to he found to raise objections to any enter prise that may be undertaken by a pro gressive people and claim that it is un necessary and therefore unjust. The very fact therefore that , one or two such croakers have sprung up in de nunciation of the paving law for Ath ens is a sufficient evidence that it is great enterprise. The fact that the cities of Hong Kon or Kalamazoo or Timbuctoo have no paved sidewalks surely cannot prove that Athens does not need them, and yet this is the bright idea advanced by - “Tax Payer’! in condemnation of our dy, BI00.X spurted .h and note and oozed from under the tightened rope around his neck.
