price has been rising, both in Liver
pool and New York, and 1 have been
watching the figures as they gradually
crawled upward with anticipation of a
great rise.” r

day,” said another, as the Banner re
porter drew near. “It rose 3-64 it
Liverpool today and nearly as much in
New York.”
“What do you allege as the cause of
the rise?” asked the reporter.
Short receipts did the work. The
receipt* for the past few days have fal
len quite short and as a natural conse
quence ’he price of cotton went up to
ten and a half”
“Will the rise last long do you
think!”
“Yes, in my opinion, it has come t®
stay. Most of the crop lias been receiv
ed, and unless the receipts grow sud
denly large there will be no falling
off.”
A good deal of cotton was in the city
yesterday, and brought good prices.

A Thrilling Serial Story for the Readers .of
the Sunday Banner.
With next issue of the Sunday Ban
ner we begin the publication of a thrill
ing serial story entitled “Traced in
Blood, or the Little Old Man of Bat-
tingnolles,” by Emile Galioriau. The
story will be tound to be full of inter
est each week as the plot doesn’t lag,
and will ke kept tip by every reader
who once begins It. The story will
also be published in the Weekly Ban
ner, beginning next week, and will
doubtless be found as interesting to our
readers stll over North Georgia as the
best novels that are published. From
this time on we will continue to pub
lish serial stories both in our Sunday

of the very best authors in the land and
will warrant onr readers that they will
get as interesting stories as the novels
to be found at the news agencies and at
a much cheaper cost.
We are now arranging for the publi
cation of a serial story with a local plot
and written by an Athenian. It will
be interesting'in the extreme.

MUCH IN LITTLE, OR AN OCEAN IN

Of coins-*, ibis must be taken with consid
erable abatement. But we. can say with
out any abatement, that the uinst wonder-
ful consideration of trutttlft) be found in
all the literature of all Uie nges, is Seen iu
the words of our Lord, iu Matthew xxii.,
37, 40: “Thou suall love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and With all thy soul,
and with all thy mind. This is. the first,
aud great commandment
The second is likewise unto it, namely,
thou sbalt love thy neighbor as thyse f.
On these two commandments bang all
the law and tbe prophets
Notice, ’tis not on the first alone, nor on
tbe second alone, but on the two together,
hang all th<- laws of the Christian life. - A
child can commit to memory these four
vers-s in half aD hour. A man, puttiug
forth daily prayerful eff-nt, is very fortu
nate if, making constant progress, In
comes pretty near fully keeping these two
commaudments in a half century—getting
nearer and nearer every day.
He will still need to constantly batbe in
“tbe fouutain filled with blood.” Great
and fatal mistakes are someiim- s made
right here. On tbe one hand, multitudes
have left out the secoud ereat command
ment, and lived in cloistered ceps—as
though the whole of religion consisted in
acts of worship. That is nullifying the
law of love to our neighbor^ Ou tbe other
band, many lay the wbo?7» sfiftssttpor. kind
deeds to our neighbors and hbtirely ignore
tbe first ami greatest cominaudmeut—i. e.,
what is due to God. ’Tis as though two
persons described tbe visible heavens; tbe
one omitting the sun; the other, tbe moon.
Both must be brought in to make a correct
description of the heavens. To love God
supremely, and our neighbor as ourselves,
we need a reconstruction of the inner man
by the Spirit of God; for whose aid if we
ask, we shall receive. Distinctly recog
nizing that an attempt to keep one only of
these commandments as though ’twere tbe
whole of duty, is like a bird trying to fly
with only one wing. We remark that
many just and beautiful thtnas have been
said about a life of doing good—a life lik<-
that of the Sj Otlesa One. “Happy is Un
person who has a heart at leisure from
himself, to soothe and sympathise.”
Ruskin has finely said, “»Ve are children
of God in proportion as we are in sympa
thy with those around us, and in propor
tion as we bear with one another.”
And again, “Consider yourself as grow
ing in grace, as you grow in patience and
in helpfulness.”
The following selection is appropriate:
“George W. Childs, the Philadelphia
philanthropist, concludes an interesting
article in the current Lippincott’s with the
following sentiments, which he exempli
fied during his very useful life.
If naked what, as the result of my expe
rience, is tbe greatest pleasure in life, I
should say doing good to others. Not a
strikingly original remark, perhaps; but
seemingly the most difficult thing in tbe
world is to be prosperous and generous at
the same time. During the war, I asked a
very rich man to contribute some money
to a certain relief fund. He shook his
head. “Childs,” he said, “1 can’t give you
anything. I have worked too hard for my
money.” That is just is. Being generous
crows on one, just as being mean does.
The disposition to give and be kiud to
ithers, should be inculcated aDd fostered
in children. It seems to me that is the way
to improve the world, qnd make happy
the people who are in it.”

When fulling-Sowing fastest, we aie to

itual gifts possessed by Christians, just as
we delight in the rich variety or nature or
tbe Word of God. There are' many lines
of thought of religion, many forma which
practical and personal piety takes, al
though, of course, they are all animated
by the same essential principles. St. John
and St. Paul are both equally devoted to
the cause and person of our Lord, yet no
two men ever existed who manifested this
devotion in shapes more different. Both
these members held to tbe Head by a liv
ing union, but they discharged for tbe
Head functions altogether different. Let
us not conceive of all genuiue religion as
moving in one groove of feeiing and prac
tice, and refuse to acknowledge any man
as a Christian because be does not run up
on our own particular groove. It seems
to be God’s plan and purpose that each
particular Christian should exhibit, in the
peculiarity of bis circumstances, educa
tion, moral temperament, and mental en
dowments, a new specimen of redeeming
love and grace. By various discipline
here He fits and polishes each living
alone for the place which it is destined to.
occupy in tbe spiritual t* tuple; and when
all the stom-s are made ready He will
build them together, each his place, and
exhibit to men and angels their perfect
unity.—& M. Goulburn, in Living

nihilists in Warsaw the secret police
have discovered evidence implicating
in a conspiracy against the life of the
czar Olga Gentecharenko, a young and
beautiful girl, connected with prom
inent Russian families. Yesterday the
chief of police went to her house to
arrest her, when th® girl, suddenly
drawing a revolver, shot him dead.
She then turned the pistol upon herself
and blew out her own brains. The

DRAWING THE LINE.
Deadly Race Fight in a Northern
School Room.
Alton, Ill., Jan. ll.-[Special.]-There
is terrible excitement here over the co
education of the races. The Alton board
education has provided separate
schools tor colored children, but the
negroes want their children to attend
the schools set apart for the whites.
They had threatened and threatened to
force their way into the schools and put
their children along side the whites,
and flatly refused to permit their chil
dren to attend the school houses set
apart for the negro children. These
threats, however, until today, were
looked upon as idle and meaningless.
This morning the negroes took action
in the matter Scores of adult negroes,
accompanied by half a hundred black
children, went to the high school and
demanded admission. Superintendent
Powell is a mild mannered man and
offered no obstructions. The black chil
dren walked in and took possession of
all the desks they found unoccupied
The white pupils protested and began
to pick up their books and make pre
parations to leave.
Some of the colored boys grinned at
the white girls, and as soon as tbe ne
gro men left the ^building the white
pupils assaulted the blacks. There was
a hard fight for fifteen minutes, during
which books, ink stands, rulers, slates
and hair filled the air. The whites fin
ally drove the blacks out of the room
and chased them out of the yard and
continued to fight in the streets. The
white girls urged their champions on
with encouraging shouts and brought
them munitions of war, when possible.
THEY RAN AWAY.
A Job in

lively sensation i

had a big
provisions ctieap, ana supply their
friends at advanced prices. The Alli
ance has a membership of more than
100,000.
A secret meeting of the Alliance was
held here yssterday. The local papers
are trying to suppress the whole affair.
It is said the most criminating evidence
has been found.
A big sensation was created yesterday
in Alliance circles when the resigna
tion of Felix Corput, as president of
the exchange was accepted, and W. L
Peek was elected in his place.
He has been opposed, however, by L.
F. Ltvington, president of the State
Alliance, who wants to be governor,
and wants it bad. Corpnt has not been
as friendly to Livingston as the latter
would like, and has been at work
against him.
The point of attack, so far as can be
learned; was the salary Corput receiv
ed. This has been $3,000. Some of the
directors have intimated that the sum
was too much, Corpui said he’d none of
it, and stepped down and out.
There was also ,talk of mismanage
ment, but all the directors denied that
there was any truth in that.
There was a stormy meeting yester
day. Livingston wanted to be presi
dent of both the Alliance and the Alli
ance exchange, but in this wss thwart
ed by the election of Peek, who takes
the place at $1,000. The fight is likely
to have a strong bearing on the guber
natorial election. Corput, who is very
strong, has been understood to favor
W. J, Northen. The result caqnot be
predicted, hut the Alliance is. sure to
cut a big figure in the campaign.—At

“SHE SIGHTED HIM.”
And the Result Was The Boy Was Al
most Killed.
A shooting affair which came near re
sulting fatally, occured last Sunday near
the residence of Mrs. T. 8. Schell, on the
Union Point road.
On a place belonging to Mr. C. A. Da
vis, just off the Georgia railroad there
lives a negro man named Joe Foster. Ho
has a boy about fifteen years old, and this
boj came Dear being killed on last Snnday.
On an adjoining place lives a negro girl
about eighteen years old, named Amanda
Davis, and it was this girl who did tbe
shooting.
Or. Sunday about noon the boy came in
front of Anif nda's home, and pulling oat
an old pistol, asked her where her gun
was. The girl replied that it was in the
house but that she would “fetch it.”
The boy insisted that she should bring
it, and the g<rl went into the house and
quickly returned with an old gun. When
she came out tbe boy said to Amanda : 2
“Sight me 1”
No sooner had he said this than the girl
raised the gun, took deliberate aim and
pulled tbe trigger. There was a deafening
report and the boy fell to the ground,
with the light side of his head almost tom
away by the load of shot. His right eye
was shot almost entirely out, and a big
hole was put in the side of his bead. He
was carried to tbe home of bis father aud
physicians sent for. Though the wound
was a serious one, it is thought he will re
cover.
The girl was arrested by Sheriff English
and brought to Greensboro.- A commit
ment trial was held before Justice W. G.
Durham on Monday last. There heing no
evidence to show that the girl intended
to hurt the boy, she was discharged from
custody.
The girl said she did not think the gun
was loaded. It 1b always the empty gun
that does the work.—Home Journal.
Gainesville, Ga., Jan. ll.-[Special]
—Mr. D. M. Stringer died at 11 o’clock
last night. This morning Dr. Oslin, as
sisted by Drs. Looper, Palmour and
Gower made an autopsy, and found the
38 calibre bullet lodged within the mar
row of the neck bone, or spinal column.
Very soon after Mr. Stringer's death

ing Smith with murder. The sheriff now
has Smith under guard, though he has
not been confined in any way. No in
quest was considered necessary, and
the commitment trial is set for two
o’clock this afternoon, but will be most
likely postponed until Monday, as the
funeral takes place at three today.
