. THE ATHENS BANNER: ATHENS, GEORGIA, JANUARY 21, 1820
LAWLESS ACTS NORTH AND SOUTH
The only reason why tfceie are
more difficulties between the whites
and blacks in the South than North,
is that the negro race is str tnnch
more numerous in the late slave-:
holding States. If the order of pop
ulation was reversed, we venture the
prediction that there would be
ten outbreaks between the races in
the North where there is one in the
Sooth. The whites of Massachu
setts, Maine, Illinois, Ohio or any
other Northern State, would be even
more rebellious against these people
than are the Southerners. In fact,
we believe that were the centre of
black population in the United
States changed to the North, that in
less than a year the country would
be plunged into a bloody race war,
The Southern people best under
stand the negro, and know just how
to manage him. This is the only
spot on the globe where two such
distinct types of the human family
can abide in peace. .
But we deny that there is any
more lawlessness in the South than
up North. In fact, a comparison of
crime in the two divisions of our
country will show that the South is
by far the most law-abiding and
peaceable section. Tbe only differ
ence is, that when a murder takes
place North of Mason & Dixon’s
line it is catalogued as a disturbance
between individuals, and nothing is
thought of it. But let a killing or a
riot take place in tbe South, where'*
few negroes and whiles are concern
ed, and it is seized upon by the res
pobl.can press of the North as perse
cution of the blacks, and the entire
people of the South held responsible
for the conduct of a few men They
are as innocent of inciting or abet
ting such difficulties as were tbe
nabobs of Wall street with lending
aid to tbe riotous coal miners of
Pennsylvania, or the Puritanic bine
blood of New England with abetting
the anarchistic assassins of Chicago.
In every community there are bad
and lawless men, but they are far
less numerous.and dangerous iu the
South than The North. The only
difference is, that the negroes being
so much more numerous down here,
it is but natural that he should get
mixed up in such broils.
If the republicans of the North
will let tbe negro alone, and not seek
to incite him against his former
owners, we venture tbe prediction
that the number of race difficulties
in the South will be greatly lessened
By elevating the negro to positions
he is utterly unfit to hold, and inci
ting him to acta of lawlessness, tbe
republican party is directly respon
sible for all the outrages and blood
shed in the South since emancipa
tion.," As proof of this statement,
we have bat to refer to the four years
of peace! and tranquility in the South
daring President Glereland’fli admin
istration, and tbe renewal of law
lessness as soonias Harrison
seat.
Negro rule was forced upon our
people once by yankee bayonets; but
it will never again be tolerated,
long as the negro remains in
proper sphere, he will be kindly
treated and fairly dealt with ; but so
soon as an attempt is made to place
black heels on white necks,
South will assert its manhood.
X MONSTROUS TARIFF SWINDLE.
A recent decision of the Supreme
Court pots a snug sum of money
into tbe pockets of the silk impor
teis. They were plaintiffs in a case
against the government to recover
$7,000,000 which they bad disbursed
in the payment of duties on imported
silk ribbons. The silk tariff schecU
ule was ambiguous regarding this
item, and they were charged 50 per
cent duty, whereas, they claimed,
they should have been charged but
20 per cent. The Supreme Court
has decided the suit in their favor,
and the enormous sum of $7,000,000
returned to their pockets. Of
course it is clear gain. The goods
on which they paid this excess of
duties were sold long ago, and the
full duty of 50 per cent was paid by
the consumers. By the ambiguity
of the law and the stnpMity of
enstom house officials the latter were
overcharged for their silk ribbons
just $7,000,000. They have been
swindled oqt of that amount. The
tariff is a big enough swindle when
constructed strictly in accordance
with the law without blunders of
this kind to still farther defraud the
consumer, £ % * V-j

DENOMINATIONAL SPIRIT-
The denominational spirit is not
as intense as it used to be, perhaps
but in many sections of the country
it is still difficult for Methodist,
Presbyterian and Baptist brethren
to dwell a great while in unity. Tbe
Methodist church at Flemingaburg,
Ky., hr* been holding union .meet
ings, having invited the Baptist and
Presbyterian congregations of the
place to unite with it inn religious
revival. Two evenings of tbe series
passed off with no inharmonious
cidents. A storm burst, however
on the third evening which brought
the meetings to an abrupt close. Thd
pastor of tbe Presbyterian church
was asked to’pray. In the course
liis invocation be adroitly worked
the articles of the Presbyterian faith
and brought out bis best arguments
why siuneru who hoped to be saved
should adhere to that denomination
and shun all others. This was
.much for the hardshell Baptist
jreacher, on his knees near by, and
still iu that attitude be took emphatic
exceptions to the remarks qf
Presbyterian brother. The dispute
soon waxed hot, both preachers still
kneeling in their places and talking
at and against each other in tbe most
spirited manner. The kneeling con
gregation got up and gathered
around, and at an instant when
seemed certain that the holy men
would come to blows the Methodist
parson got np, denounced the pro-
ing as an outrage, and dismissed
g. It is safe to say there
more unioo meetings
burg, Ky.
when they are arrested and kept in
jail. We indeed sympathise with
them ; but when a man knowingly
and wilfuny violates the laws of his
country, he must expect to take the
consequences. This business of ma
king illicit whiskey is a dangerous
experiment, and not one man in a
hundred but it costs more than his
gains. Our advice to the moon
shiners is to take up their blockade
stills, and if they are inclined to
manufacture their corn into whiskey,
pay the government tax. No one
can succeed by violating the laws of
his country. Sooner or later he will
be caught np with, .when his gains
must go to pay him out of trouble.
THE ATHENS POST OFFICE-
There are no new developments
about the Athens post office, but it
is the general feeling that a change
will be made in the next few weeks,
The present efficient inoumbenVhow
ever, will doubtless be permitted to
serve out his time, which expires
next April. The race is said to be
between a lady connection of Judge
Speer, in Athens, Mr. A. E. Beusse,
and Madison Davis. Mr. Beusse is
endorsed .by Gov. Bullock, Gen.
Longstreet, and also has a petition
Signed by all the Statu officers and
leading citizens . of Athens. The
lady judge Speer is said to be sup
porting has not asked any local en
dorsement that we know of, but the
appointment would give entire satis
faction to our people. Davis is
backed by Buck and the Republican
Central Committee. He has also
paper signed by several democrats
of Athens, stating that he is an hon
est man and a good colored citizeD
but not asking his appointment, as
reported. Our citizens only request
that President Harrison give them a
decent white man for postmaster.
THE WEEKLY BANNER.
The Athens merchants who desire
to reach the trade of the surround
ing country, should have a card in
the weekly edition of The Athens
Banner. It is undoubtedly the
handsomest and newsiest paper pub
lished in the South, and its ciicula-
tion is large and rapidly increasing.
We are making this weekly our espe
eial pet and pride, and intend that it
shall be the medium tor communica
tion between Athens and our country
friends. We Will be glad to forward
specimen copies to any non-subscri
ber who would like to see it. For
less than two cents per week the
public can secure all the news of the
day, in a compact and entertaining
form, besides several dollars worth of
continued stories, during the year,
from the pen of the best writers of
the day. No family can afford to be
without the Weekly Banner. It is
an encyclopaedia of the news of the
week. And neither should any pro-
gressive Athens merchant fail to
have his business made known
through this splendid advertising
medium.
the
THE ELECTRIC UCHTS.
One of the best investments ever
madefy our city is tbe electric lights.
They give Athens an air of business
and enterprise that nothing else can
impart. The new lights are working
like a charm, and our people are de.
lighted with them. Strangers who
now visit Athens will be most favor
ably impressed with this evidence of
progress. With our paved side
walks and handsome new buildings,
indeed the Classic City gives evi
dence of shaking off tbe yoke of
fogyism, and taking her place among
the progressive cities of the age.
Now let ns have sewers and our
business streets laid with Belgian
blocks. A progressive element has
taken possession" of' Athens, and
croakers must retire to the rear.
THE CEORQIA, CAROLINA & NORTH

There is now no longer any doubt
about the early completion of this
important new railway, and the pros
pect is that the cars will be running
to Atnens from Monroe, N. C., by
next fall, aud in a year from now the
entire line will Le finished to At
tests.- This road will be of ideM
mable benefit to our city, and make
it one of the most important busi»
ness points in Georgia. We have
now only branch roads entering
Athens, but in spite of this draw
back, our city ranks third in Geor
gia as a cotton market. When we
have s great trank line passing di
reefy through oar limits, you will
see property advance in value and
our trade increase many fold.
-The completion Of‘theG.i C. <fc N
to Athens will insure to us the ex
tension ft U>oGeorgi*Midland, en
courage the building of the Jefferson
braucb, an ultimate extension of
that road to Dahlonega, and aeon
ne^tlcm with the .Marietta & North
Georgia, thus making Athens the
distributing aud trading point for
large area of country extending out
in every direction.
Our people cannot begin to appre
ciate the benefit that this new" line
will be tO them. By this time next
yearypp^will see Athens dirt a val
uable possession. New manufacto
ries qnd buildings will spring up ou
every hand, and business of.all kinds
will prosper.
ATLANTA ATOMS.
Wliat is Going on in .the Gate City—
Sentence Commuted.
Atlanta, Jan. 14.—[Special.]—Lew
is Phillips, the Wayne county murder
er, will not hang.
Gov. Gordon this morning commuted
bis sentence to life imprisonment.
Phillips was sentenced to hang on
December 13th, last. The Governor
granted him a reprieve on the day be
fore that fixed lor the execution, so aa
to have time to investigate tbe case*
Tiie commutation was the result of
the investigation.
Oflioers Lawshe, Broderick and Al
dridge have been dropped from the
police force for violating the rules of
tbe department.
The Woodward murder case w*as con
tinued to-day. The defense, old man
Bone, claims that the shooting was
done to protect the chastity of his
daughter Jessie.
The evidence brought out in the trial,
shows up the girl in question as a pretty
tough character for her sex.
GOT FREE WITHOUT SWEARING.
Henry Adams, the moonshiner from
Lumpkin county, who preferred re
maining in jail to swearing or affirming,
has been set at liberty.
He was brought before Judge New
man this morning and questioned as to
his means. He stated that he had noth
ing in the world but a wife and four
children', a bedstead and a looking glass,
table and a few plates, cups and sau
cers, a stool and a few plain chairs, the
whole worth about twenty dollars.
He wa3 asked to sign a paper affirm
ing that what he stated was true, but
refused as he has always done hereto
fore. ‘
Dr. H. Bak was sent for and exam
ined the prisoner very critically in tbe
presence of several officers as to his age
and his condition in life-
Finally the desk in the r om was
moved back and. Adams was placed on
one side of the robm while Dr. Bak took
the opposite side.
"Now, shut your eyes and come to
ward me,” said Dr. Bak.
“I’m not going to do anything of the
kind,” replied Adams,
“Why?”
“Because I don’t propose to make
spectacle of myself for the amusement
of this crowd,” and Adams turned away
with a tir< <1 look on his face.
After some further examination Dr.
Bak gave it a3 his opinion that Adams
was a monomaniac on the subject of re
ligion, and thereupon Judge Newman
ordered him set at liberty.

AND
Cut His Wife’s Throat, Attacked Her
Father, Then Killed Himself.
Fort Hunter, N Y., Jan. 14—[Spe
cial]—The little village of Tribes Hill,
in Montgomery county, was the scene
of a tragedy last night, when Thomas
Link, the proprietor of the Central
hotel, cut his wife’s throat with a razor,
tried to kill his father-in-law, and then
cut his own throat, dying a few min
utes later.
Link had been on a prolonged de
bauch, and had had several attacks of
delirium tremens, during which Iip
threatened to kill his wife. About 10
o’clock last night he called her into the
biir-room and, handing her a glass of
wine, said: “Here, let’s drink. It will
be the last we will ever drink together.”
They then retired, and about an hour
later, Link shoved his hand under her
pillow and pulled out a razor, with
which he cut her throat. She jumped
out of bed, and rushed screaming out
of the room. Link ran to an adjoining
room, where Mrs. Link’s fattier was
sleeping. The old man sprang from
bed and seized Link, who tried desper
ately to cut the old man’s throat. Fail
ing in this, be turned the razor against
himself and made a frightful gash in
his throat, his bead being almost sever
ed from the body.. He died almost in.
stantly. Mrs. Link’s recovery is doubt
fill. ' '

A Train Near Atlanta Almost Wrecked
By a Fiendish Villain.
Atlanta, Jan. 14.—(Special)—A
fiendish plan to wreck the night pas
senger train on the East Tennessee rail
road was narrowly averted yesterday
afternoon about 6 o’clock.
Tho night passengor train from
Brunswick and Macon is due in Atlan
ta at 7:40 o’clock.
Just after dark last night, two of the
watchmen for the East Tennessee road
wV-re walking along the track near the
place where Mechanic street crosses It,
in the southwestern part of the city.
Suddenly they discovered some ob
struction on the track in front of them,
anti at the same time saw two negroes
disappearing to the right of the street.
An examination showed that a cross-
tie and a large piece of bridge timber
had been placed directly across the
track, only a short (Jistance from the
bridge over the railroad where Mechan
ic street crosses it. The obstructions
were removed quickly, and a police of
ficer called. Patrolman Jones went to
the spot, and after hearing the account
of the discovery of the obstructions by
the watchmen and the disappearance of
the two negroes, decided to conceal
himself and watch awhile, thinking
that the negroes might return. They
did not do so, however, and after
watching for some time the patrolman
reported the affair to Sergeant Moss,
and returned to his beat.
The police are still searching for the
two negroes and expect to catch them
some time to-day.

and made an extensive examination of
the property.

chased several thousand acres of the
land for two dollars an acre.
He has just sold it to a northern com
pany for ttfiy thousand dollars, one
half qf which is his.

Some Interesting Anecdote# about How
Senator# Play Foker.
The following anecdotes show that
there are a good many knights of the
chip in Congress, Says an exchange:
The little circle of poker players in
the Senate, made up of the Senators
from Nevada, and Cameron, Plumb,
aud one or twe others, will find a con
genial addition to its ranks in the per
son of the Senator from South Dakota,
Mr. Pettigrew. If any of them succeed
in transferring any of his pile from
his pockets to their own, it will not be
through luck, but good play, aud it
will have to be exceptionally good play,
too, for not only does the fickle goddess
look upon Pettigrew with favor, but he
Is a poker plaver from away back,
knows the value of a hand, possesses an
imperturble face, a cool head; and a
judgment second to none in the world.
Hi* is a hard man to win money from at
cards. When the six new Senators
were drawing for terms, and Pettigrew
drew the plum, a prominent South Da
kotan remarked: “I would have gam
bled on it. Pettigrew can draw to the
small end of a royal flush apd fill every
time.” Not very long ago Senator,
then Mr. Pettigrew, was staying at a
small town in Dakota, where he knew
two or three men whose piles were
nearly as big as bis own. Some one
suggested a quiet game of draw. Theie
being nothing else to do Pettigrew was
willing, and they adjoura-dto a private
room iu the hotel, where a pretty stiff
game was soon in progress. After
playing some time a jack pot became
ratlier ? ‘fat.” At last some one opened
it for fifty. Pettigrew hesitated at
first, but concluded to come'in and
drew four cards. The man wlio ooened
the pot bet$50, and ‘Pettigrew raised
the same amount. The third player
dropped oqt, aa the man who opened
had hot drawn any' cards. It being
then the turn of tbe Qpcuer he faW'
another fiftr which Pettigrew doubled
This sort of thing went on for some
little time, until the fellow who had
onened the pot began to get uneasy. 1 ’
“How many cards did you draw,
Pettigrew?” he asked.
“Four,” was the laconic response.
“Well, you are betting lively On
four-card draw.”
Pettigrew said nothing, but suggested
that they raise thp limit to $100. The
other fellow began to get nervous, but
thought that bis opponent could hot
possibly have a better hand than his
own, and raised another fifty. Petti
grew came right back at him without a
smile, and the other fellow, ih despe
ration, called. Pettigrew laid dovrh
his hand—ace, king, queen, jack, and
ten spot of clubs.
“Great Scott!” was the chorus.
“Guess that’s ihy pot,” said Petti
grew.
“What in did you draw to?”
askedhis companions.
“That typewriter,” said Pettigrew,
indicating the modest little queen OJ
clubs. :I
“What did you open it on ?”
“Three kings aud a pair of aces,
though I don’t know as that is any of
your business.” a • " ’

Pettigrew's luck and are fighting shy
of him. They are pretty good poker
players themselves, but they are so
much afraid of the Dakota man’s pro^
verbial luck that her has not yet boen
invited into a game. He is watching
his chances, however, and sooner or
later will get into the statesmen's game.
The friends of Mrs. Haybrick who
was convicted of poisoning her hus
