THE ATHENS BANNER:. ATHENS, GEORGIA, JANUARY 2S, 1890.
ENCOURAGING COMBINATIONS-
aeof tbe most dictatorial and
oppressive trusts in America is the
Standard Oil. Company, forned for
the purpose of controlling t,i.e oil
products of this country, and dicta*
ting the price of both raw material
and manufactured goods. The com
bination to control cotton seed oil
alone is backed hy $40,000,000, and
their ally, the petroleum oil sj’ndi-
cate, has $300,000,000. It is hard to
estimate the immense and crushing
power of this gigantic trust, and
indeed are both the people and the
small manufacturers helpless victims
in its clutches. What the Southern
farmer is particularly interested in
is the brauch of this combination or
ganized to control our cotton seed.
The small independent mills are
crushed out by this formidable an
tagonist like trees before a cyclone.
Their plan of operations is this
when an opposition oil mill dares to
start up, the price of cotton seed in
its locality is at once advanced far
beyond the market value. The trust
company can afford to lose a few
millions, to sustain a monopoly of
this profitable business, while it is
destroying the little capital of the
small iudustiies. But to soon as the
opposition mill is driven into bank
ruptcy or closes down, the farmer is
at the mercy of the Standard Oil
company, and must accept such a
price as it sees fit to pay him for
seed, which is of course the very
lowest. We learn that this octopus
is now reaching out its tentacles to
take in several little mills in Georgia
that have dared to start in business
in opposition to its mandates, one of
which is in Griffin, where 27 cents
per bushel i3 paid for seed.
Here, it seems to us, is a good
place for the Farmers’ Alliance to
put in some reformatory work. Let
the members of ihutorganizatioc re
solve not to sell a bushel of cotton
seed to this oil trust or its agents,
and be content with the regular mar
ket price from their home mills. It
will be to their interest in the long
run, by sustaining legitimate compe
tition. Let the price of seed be
regulated by the market value of oil
and meal ; aDd it matters not how
high the Standard Oil Company
may bid, first supply the little in-
pendent mill with all the seed neces
sary to keep it in operation before
the trust shall have a bushel. When
a cotton planter, for the sake of an
unwarranted price for hia seed, helps
this combination to destroy these
small mills, he is only aiding and
abetting the men to oppress and rob
him in the future.
We hope that our Alliance friends
will take some official steps toward
protecting these small cotton seed
oil mills. It is both their duty and
to their interest.
When the Gordon-Mackey cable
was first laid across tbe Atlantic, Jay
Gould attempted to crush out this
young rival by reducing the price of
messages to less than it actually
costs to transmit them. The new
company met his cut until it reached
this stage, and then issued an ad
dress to its patrons explaining tbe
situation and stating that while the
old company would maintain their
low rates until its rival was de
stroyed, so 8oon as it again had a
monopoly the price of cablegrams
would be advanced to the 6amc ex
fortionate rates of old. The intelli
gent public appreciated the matter,
and continued to patronize the new
cable company, although for a time
it was a clear loss to do so. Finding
that he could not crush out the rival
lioe, Gould consented to a reasonable
tariff thus insuring to the public a
permanent reduction.
This should he the policy of our
cotton planters. Do not be bought
up by the Standard Oil trust with
an unusual offer for your cotton seed.
Be content with the ruling market
price in other localities, and you will
uot only keep alive a healthy compe
tition, but clip the fangs of a mo
nopoly as selfish and grasping as the
jute bagging trust.

SWOONED IN A COACH.
Kxeitlng Soanes at the Funeral ot the
€Hri George Weimar Jilted.
Elizabeth, Jan. 21 .—[Special. ]—
Five thousand people attended to-day
Wie funeral of Miss Laura' Dixon of
Elizabeth, who shot herself because her
lover, George Weimer, discarded her
t and married smother girl. The crowds
I surged around the house, blocked the
V street, and struggled to get Inside to
▼lew the remains. Hundreds were un-
able to do bo. Several temperance or
ganisation*, together with the six Inin-
dml operatives of the cordage works,
where Miss Dixon worked, attended.
When the coach containing the father
and sisters of the dead girl was passing
Weltner’s bouse, the blinds of which
were tightly closed, one of the Dixon
girls gave vent to piercing shrieks, and
tried to throw herself out of the vehi
cle. It was ail that her father and the
other inmates of the coach could do to
restrain her, and finally the intensity
of her emotions caused her to swoon.
Six big Cleveland breweries have been
sold to un English syndicate for $975,-
Thcre is not a better, cleverer or
more hospitable people on the globe
than abide in Oglethorpe tontj -
and nothing delights us more than
to be with them.
On Saturday afternoon we accept
ed an invitation from our friend Mr.
Stephen Black to go out home with
him, and together with Mr. George
Howard, we started for our destina
tion, IS miles distant from Athens
But there is a good deal of difference
in riding- behind a pair of mules and
on a railroad, aud in spite of the fact
that our driver dismantled severs
pannels of fence to get switches, i
was night when we reached Smilh-
onia. We tarried with Col. Smith
long enough to get supper, and then
continued our journey. The night
was as dark as a stack of black cats,
but the journey was made in safety,
and the hospitable greeting that we
received soon made us forget the un
comfortable ride. Mr. Black and
his estimable lady arc among our
oldest and warmest friends. They
have named a future Governor of
Georgia after The Banner editor,
and are such admirers of this paper
that they are thinking of calling
their beautiful little daughter Ban
neretta.
Oglethorpe has made the finest
crops the past year ever known, and
her farmers are in a better financial
condition than since the war. They
have their cribs full of home-raised
corn, and an unusual number oi
hogs have been slaughtered. In pass
ing one of the cribs tLis year you
don’t see the sun-raj’8 shining be
tween the logs, but they are all well
filled with grain, while the sleek and
well kept farm stock shows thrift
and good management. And another
thing we noticed in travelling over
the country : Farmers are building
better barns, and devoting more at
tention to stock raising. Some of
the barns remind us of those on Die
Western prairies. The fields are
either hillside ditched or terraced
and the unsightly washes and gullies
that once disfigured the face of our
country, and prevented the perma-
mauent improvement of land, nr.
fast disappearing before skilful agri
culture. The farm lands of Ogle
thorpe are 50 per cent better now
than they were ten years ago, and in
the next decade their value and pro
ductiveness will double many times.
Our Georgia farmers arc beginning
to learn that there is more profit in
one acre well tilled than in ten acres
indifferently cultivated.
There is considerable complaint
among farmers about a scarcity of
hands, and very few have as many
as they desire. This is not caused
by an exodus of the negroes, but
owing to the fact that every year the
area of cultivated lands is increas
ing. The blacks of Oglethorpe are
working very well and are contented
and prosperous. Many of them have
bought and paid for good farms of
their own, and are making and sav
ing money. It is a noticeable fact
that so soon as a negro owns a piece
of land of his own, be at once be
comes a better citizen, and generally
votes a democratic ticket. The white
jieople encourage the darkeys to buy
farms, and sell them land on easy
term 8. You never hear of a negro
who has bought and paid for a home
getting into trouble. It is only the
thriftless vagabonds that stir up
strife. The farmers of Oglethorpe
county are uot iu favor of moving
the negroes from the country. They
believe this race to be the best labor
the South can possibly get. and if
politicians will let him alone, he will
live in peace and harmony with tbe
whites.
The Farmers’ Alliance is very
strong in Oglethorpe, and this or
ganization is an iron-ribhed friend
to The Banner. An old grey-headed
Aiiianceman remarked to us : “You
are the first editor in Georgia to ad
ticians. They do not intend that
aiy man shall ride them iuto office,
but neither will they be crowded out.
They ‘i itend to demand of every
candidate that he pledge himself to
advocate laws beneficial to the far
mer, and the Alliance will see that
no man is chosen who is not in lull
and hearty accord with our agricul
tural interests. Heretofore legisla
tion has been altogether for the ben
efit of professionals and other pur
suits. The fanner will now demand
full recognition. It is estimated
that the Alliance the past year has
saved its members about 25 oer cent,
on their store accounts. Every week
tliis organization is strengthening,
and now embraces nearly every far
mer in the county.
There is some little talk about
politics, but it is not thought the
Alliance will adopt auy one ticket,
unless some candidate antagonistic
to their interests offers. There seems
to be a ground-swell for Mr. John
Moody as a representative in tbe
legislature. He is one of tbe clear
est-headed and most universally pop
ular young farmers in the couuty.
Hoa. C. H. Witcher will lead for
Stale Senator if he enters the race.
We spent Sunday with onr friends
around Sandy Cross. This place is
destined to be one of tbe most im
portant Hading points in thecouDty
It is surrounded by a fine farming
section, and the people are moral,
thrifty and enterprising. There are
now three flourishing stores here,
two cottoi gins, a mill, aud several
other enterprises. Col. James M.
Smith tells us that by uext winter
he will have bis railroad extended to
Sandy Cross, which will add greatly
to the business of the town and build
it up lapidly. The Lexington Ter
minal also contemplates building a
line to the Cross or Glade.
Small grain is not very promising.
It takes plenty of snow and cold
weather for wheat, and we heard of
several fields that the fly hail at
tacked and destroyed. We saw' sev
eral fields of oats high enough to
hide a rabbit, and a freeze now
would kill them down. Rye is also
unpromising. A large area is being
sown in spring oats, and with their
well filled cribs farmers can stand a
short small grain crop. A number
are at work breaking up land, and
every farmer is cheerful and hopeful.
They intend to hereafter raise their
own corn, aud also as much meat as
possible. The Georgia planters are
now independent of the West, and
will remain so. Cotton will be made
a surplus crop, and not the main
stay. It is a recognized fact that
every farmer who tried to raise cot
ton to buy corn ultimately failed.
One drawback to the county is a
scarcity of good schools. Our mis
erable system has destroyed country
schools, and given in return a worth
less short term that docs more harm
than good. Some plan should be
adopted by which the children of
the whites should he given the
money the State takes from the pock
ets of their parents. It is a shame
and outrage that a while child must
be kept at home and made to work
for money to educate negroes. This
is iust what is now being done all
over Georgia, and the people will re
bel against such an outrage. They
demand that the Constilulion be so
changed as to give to each race the
money it pays into the treasury.
The people around Stevens Acad
emy are anxious to employ a good
teacher, and will get up a large and
paying school. They have a nice
building, and there is not a belter
settlement in the Slate. Any one
desiring a first-class school should
address Mr. C. A. Stevens, Sandy
Cross, Oglethorpe county, Ga.
We do not know a better opening
in tbe State than this point for a
country school, for besides being a
refined and intelligent neighborhood,
a teacher will be paid every dollar of
his tuition. There are more thaD
100 children in this neighborhood of
school age.
Sunday night we spent with Hon
James M. Smith, Georgia’s greatest
fanner. What we saw at his place
wo will reserve for a future letter.

There are indications that Congress
is about to enter upon consideration of
the important subject of the public
buildings in VVashington. It is thv cus
tom of Congress to appropriate large
sums of money for public buildings in
other cities for the necessities of the
Government, while here at the Nation
al Capital a vast sum of money is ex
pended each year in paying for the rent
of buildings to occupy such portions of
the various bureaus of the Government
as cannot be accommodated in the pub
lic buildings which now exist. Careful
estimates have been made by the Com
mittee on Public Buildings and
Grounds, which go to show that the
interest on the funds necessary to erect
the buildings which the Government
actually needs here would be. very mm li
less than the amount of rent actually
paid to private parties for inadequate
accommodations. The difficulty always
has been, in entering on any such plan,
that the first cost has been solely re
garded bj* some of the professional
economists, particularly those in the
House. It is this practice of saving at
the spigot while losing at the bung hole
which the professional watch-dogs of
the Treasury have forc'd upon the
Government for many years. The re
sult is, that the United States, at its
own capital, is compelled to hire build
ings of private parties until its rent roll
readies enormous proportions. Yc
some of the small men who practice
this pinchback economy, continue to
pass as great men and reformers in
their own narrow districts, while op
posing the soundest principles of pub
lic economy in this respect.
The Senate Committee on patents has
ordered a favorable report on ttie meas
ure known as the Cliace international
copyright law. and there is reason to
expect its speedy passage by the Senate.
In the last Congress only ten Senators
(all Democrats) voted against it, and it
failed in the House, not because tiiero
were not enough votes in its favor to
pass it, but because consideration of the
bill was prevented by the pressure of
oilier matters.
The pressure of office-seekers has be
come so overwhelming at the census
office that Superintendent Porter has
been obliged to call a halt. lie said

sider the question of appointment of
supervisors. There are 175 to be ap-
E ointed, ar.d everyone of them ought to

or at the farthest the next eight weeks.
It is difficult to find the proper men for
these positions, and the greatest care
must be exercised, especially as the pay
is small.. 1 am expected to know all
about the meu selected for these posi

the world’s fair.
Interviews with a number of the
Georgia Congressmen reveal the fact
that they are as a whole not badly stuck
on the World’8 Fair project. Dr. H.
H. Carlton of Athens may be taken as a
fair example.
He is inclined to vote against the
whole scheme. He is opposed to tiie
government embarking in tiie show
business. He woulJ vote for Washing
ton as first choice for a site. It is the
national capital and was the right place
in his judgment to hold it. How would
a world’s fair in Great Britain do at Liv
erpool or Manchester, or one in France
do at Lyons or Toulon ? Ho expressed
himself emphatically against Chicago,
and told a Chicago* member tbe other
day if lie would burn Libby prison and
dynamite one or two partisan Chicago
newspaper offices he would agree to
consider his town as a proper place in
which the fair could be held.
QUAY ON THE MOVF..
Senator Mat Quay was on the floor of
the house for an hour yesterday, and
was in close conversation with Mr.
Browne, of Indiana, chairman of the
committee on elections. When Sena
tor Quay comes over to the tiie house
wing it is presumably on political bus
iness. His business yesterday was to
uige upon Mr. Browno the necessity of
disposing of the World’s Fair matter, so
the election cases could be brought up.
As matters stand, the members whoso
seats are contested have votes, and
their friends have votes, to be won for
this or that town, and the astute repub
licans arc not doing any great amount
of bull-dozing just now.

IT WAS STRYCHNINE.
One of the first things the doctor did
was to inquire what medicine had been
administered the lady.
Mrs. Hill, her daughter, replied that
she had given her a dose of calomel
The package from which it was taken
was procured and given to the doctor.
He examined it and found that it was
strychnine instead of calomel.
Mrs. Hill was almost crazed with
grief at the fearful mistake that she
had made, and then the efforts to save
Mrs. llanie’s life were redoubled, but
to no avail, as the strychnine had taken
too firm ahold upon her before the doc
tor arrived.
At 7:30 o’clock Mrs. llanie died, af
ter thirty minutes of the most excruci

The strychnine which caused Mrs.
llanie’s death |w*s purchased a short
time ago by Mr. Hill to be used in pois

FELL DEAD IN COURT.
Ada R*h»n’s Father a Victim to In
temperance. <
New York, Jan. 21.—[Special.]—A
sad scene enacted in Polio- Justice
Tigne’s Court this morning, where
Thomas Crehan, a man seventy years
of age, and the father of the we'l known
actress, Miss Ada Rehan, fell d.-ad
while awaiting a hearing on the charge
of habitual drunkenness, preferred by
members of his own family.
After long deliberation and consulta
tion with the other members of the fam
ily, Mr. William Crehan, one of the old
man’s sons, decided to place his father
under restraint on account of his habits
of confirmed inebriety. As a prelimi
nary proceeding, the old man was tak
en into custody by Com t Officer Riley,
and this morning was brought into
court. Before his case was readied,
however, the old man was seen to gasp
and strugglefor br-ath, and then to fall
unconscious from his chair. Every
means possible to restore liim was re-
s -rted to by the court officers, and an
ambulance was summoned. Before it
arrived, however, Mr. Creliau was
dead.
Mr. Grelian was an Irislini m by birth,
and came to this country with his fam
ily in 18G7, when his famous daughter
Ada, was only eight years old. Mr.
Crehan had raised a family of five chil
dren—two sons mid three daughters.
The daughters developed personal beau
ty and remarkable dramatic ability.
Tiie youngest daughter is known to the
world as Miss Ada Behan, the accom
plished actress and leading lady
of tiie Daly Company. The eldest
daughter is* the wife of the actor and
playwright, Oliver Doud Byron. She
is also an-actress of reputation, second
only to her younger sister. The other
other sister is Miss Russell, who was
formerly a member of Chestnut Street
Theater Company. The eldest son,
William, is the business manager for
Oliver Doud Byron, and the younger
son. Arthur, is the manager of the Ar
thur Rehan Comedy Company, which
plays the Daly comedies throughout
the country.
The name of the distinguished actress
was ehangeil from Crehan to that by
which site and her brother Arthur
have always been known by an acci
dent at the beginning ol lurstage ca
reer. She join-d Mrs. John Drew’s
Areli Street Theater Company, in this
city, in 1S75. The name on the manu
script bill announcing her first appear
ance, as sent to the printer, was her
own, Ada Crehan: but the compositor
blundered and printed it Rehan, and
tiie typographical error has been re
peated, with her consent, upon every
subsequent playbill in which her name
has appeared.
SCANDAL IN AN INSANE ASY
LUM. J
An Attendant Deserts His Wife and
Runs Off With a Pretty Patient
Columbus, O., Jan 20.—[Special].—
For some time past there has been whis
pering of scandal at the great insane
asylum two miles west of this city. The
attentions of Janies McGill, an attend
ant, to Miss Hattie Green, a patient
from Bucyrii8, O., have been the sub
ject of comment. Miss Green is a pretty
brunette, 19 years of age, and has been
in this retreat ab->ut six months. The
doctors did not consider her case as seri
ous, and promised her relatives and
friends a speedy cure. Yesterday Mc
Gill and Miss Green eloped. Mrs. Mc
Gill (for he was a married man) lias ap
plied for a divorce.
The man drew at! tiie money lie had,
out of the citizens’ Savings bunk, sorife
$4i.H), and his wife was left with but 80
cents.
Dr. J. W. McMillin, the superintend
ent of the asylum, has ottered a reward
for the capture and return of thepi-
tient, ami the young lady’s relatives
are searching for her.
Miss May Langley, superintendent of
the kitchen, has been suddenly dis
missed. Miss Langley had a lover in
the person of Oscar Daniels, of Mount
Vernon, O., a son of O. G. Daniels, a
wealthy citizen.
Young Daniels has been calling on
Miss Langley about once or twice a
week for some time past. Late last
night, Superintendent McMillen and
Supervisor Madigan forced open the
young woman’s room and found her
and Daniels there together. Miss Lang
ley was promptly discharged.
