LtT THE BOYCOTT SPREAD-
The patriotic merchants of Athens
have done their full duty in declar
ing a boycott against the Philadel
phia dry goods house of Hood, Ban-
bright & Co,, of which Postmaster-
General Wannamaker is the proprie
tor, in the event that he forces a
negro postmaster upon us in defiance
of the petition of our representative
citizens. One firm only recently
gave this house a $1,500 order, and
yesterday wrote to have it held up
until the Athens post office was filled
—and in the event that Matt Davis
is appointed he desired to counters
mand the order. Let every true and
good Southern merchant follow this
example, and refuse to contribute
one dollar to swell the gains of John
Wannamaker, who not only contri
buted to corrupt the ballot-box in
the interest of the republican ticket,
but a few days ago insulted and
slandered our city and people by
stating to Congressman Carlton that
his (Wannamaker’s) life would not
be safe in the South—thus wilfully
maligning and insulting the very
people he is supplicating for their
trade. John Wannamaker keeps
tLree drummers always on ^he road
in Georgia, and one of them is a
regular visitor to Athens, where he
is liberally patronized. I! Postmas.
ter-General Wannamaker thinks our
people such a lot of barbarians and
assassins, he should not imperil the
life of an employe by sending him
among them. But the next time the
drummer for Hood, Banbright & Co.
visits our city and solicits orders
from the very men his employer so
wilfully slanders, we predict that ho
will find that while we Georgians are
not rod-handed murderers, that our
merchants have enough self-respect
and indpendence to refuse their pat
ronage to their villifier. Postmaster-
General Wannamaker has not as yet
succeeded in monopolizing the dry
goods business of America, and
there are other leading and responsi
ble houses whose proprietor does not
go out of his way to slander and in
suit us. Let not only the merchants
of Athens, but those of Georgia and
the South, declare a bo3 r cott against
Hood, Banbright & Co., of Philadel
phia, until its head learns that he
cannot with impunity wilfully insult
the good and respectable people of
the South, and place over them ig
norant negroes in responsible offices.
If this boycott is made general
through the South, we venture the
the prophecy that it will have a bet
ter efleet upon the policy of the
Postmaster-General than all the ap
peals that can be made to bim. The
merchant who persists in buying his
goods of Wannamaker’s house must
consider that in so doing he endorses
both the slanders and infamous pol.
icy of that official. Join Athens in
the boycott against Wannamaker
alias Hood, Banbright & Co., of
Philadelphia.
THE ATHENS BANNER TUESDAYMORNINGFEBRUARY ll 1890.
THAT OCONEE SETTLEMENT.
The case in Oconoe county that
was settled by the Solicitor, aud
over which there has been such a
furore, is a very trivial matter. One
negro struck another two spanks
with a shingle, and hence- the prose
cution. There was nothing in the
case to begin with, and it is fortUr.
nate for the tax-payers of Oconee
that it was settled—for if all these
trivial indictments, entered in the
heat of passion, are pressed, our
Courts would be in session tbe year
round. The settlement was made by
Solicitor Russell with the consent of
the county officers interested in the
same, and Walter Johnson, Clerk o
Court, aud father to the Walkinsville
correspondent of the Atlanta Con
stitution, was paid $7.50 of the money
received. Mr. Russell says while an
effort was being made to gel an in
dictment against him by the grand
jury, that the Clerk of Court, Mr.
Johnson, offered to testify in his de
fence, if necessary.
Mr. Ed. Herring, drummer for the
house of Hood, Banbright & Co., is
a clever and popular gentleman ; but
like old dog Tray, he is now in very
bad company—and if he expects to
do any more business with the mer
chants in this section, must travel
for some other firm than that of the
slanderer of our people.
RAILROAD NEWS.
THE LOCATION OF THE G., C.
N. NOW BEING DECIDED.
Southern merchants, it is an insult
to your intelligence and patriotism
to be solicited to patronize the Phil
adelphia house of Hood, Banbright
& Co. When one of the drummers
wait upon you, tell him that you
.don’t feel likecontr.buting to the re
publican campaign fund to-day. To
.patronize John Wannamaker’s bouse
is to do this same thing.
The Covington aad Macon’* New Depot.
A Great Combination Rumored.
Railroad Rambling*.
The latest news from the Georgia,
Carolina and Northern is extremely en
couraging.!
Preparations are now being made by
the management to let the contracts for
grading this side of the Savannah river.
The surveyors are rapidly pushing this
way from the river.locating permanent
ly the route of,the new road,and every
thing is beginning to look like business
along the line on the Georgia side.
Captain Buesse of this city has for some
time past been looking up the deeds for
the right of way aud has collected them
all from Athens to the river. He will
continue the work of securing them
from Athens to Atlanta, which requires
but little trouble or time owing to the
cheerful welcome with which our new
road is being hailed along the proposed
route.
The last survey,as it approaches Ath
ens, brings up a lively discussion and
interest as to what point the road will
be made to enter Athqns, where will
the depot be built, and from what
side of the city will the road leave for
Atlanta. These questions are being
calked about with much interest on the
streets of Athens lately, and they are
really questions calculated to interest
the people of Athens just now, for the
road will soon be at our gates.
According to the old survey, the G.,
C. & N. will run into Athens through
East Athens, crossing the river just
above the Georgia depot and passing
througta^tbe northern part of the city;
leaving by Bock College, This route,
however, is liable to he changed by the
last survey.
It is thought by many that the G., C
& N. will enter Athens by the Coving
ton & Macon track and will have a joint
depot, both roads being operated at the
new depot now in course of construction
by the Covington & Macon. This may
be the plan that will finally he adopted.
The matter will not be decided, how
ever, definitely until tlia surveyors
reach Athens, and we give the above
plans simply as frequent rumors that
are afloat.
AN OLD COUPLES’S ROMANCE.
Wedded Many Tears Ago, Divorced, and
Now Married a Second Time.
xA St. Louis special says: A marri
age ceremony that was fraught with
genuine remahee was celebrated here
yesterday.
In 1844 Nora Benton was 16 years of
age and lived with her parents near
Gardiner. Me. Capt James Corbett
commanded a trading vessel and Nora
married him in opposition to the wish
of her parents, who objected to his sea
faring life.
Shortly after the marriage Carbett
made a voyage to South America and
did not return for thirteen years. When
he did he learned that his young wife
had securned a divorce and married
Thomas B. Dunn.
The pair had left Gardiner and moved
to St Louis.' In 1860 Corbett married
again, but became a widower a year
ago.
STANLEY’S NATIONALITY.
We ask all the daily and weekly
papers of Georgia to join ns in urging
the boycott against John Wannama-
maker’s firm. The city of Athens
appeals to you to help save her from
a great outrage and indignity.
Allianccmen, bear in mind that
Hood, Banbright & Co., alias John
Wannamaker, is owned by a man
who not only seeks to oppress you
by upholding trusts, but denounces
you us assassins, and insults a
Southern city by threatening to ap
point a negro as its postmaster. Buy
no goods that bear their stamp or
passes through the hands of this
house.
Our citizens are united to a mao
in their boycott against Postmaster-
General Wannamaker’s bouse. Let
the glorious work spread all over
Georgia and the South.
Merchants of Athens, Georgia and
the South, don’t fail to place the
name of Hood, Banbright & Co., of
Philadelphia, on your black list
This firm is John Wannamaker, the
man who denounced our people as
assassins, and who will insult them
by appointing a negro postmaster for
our city.
Hood, Banbright & Co., alias
Postmaster-General Wannamaker,
represents the enemy and maligner
of our section and people. Bear this
in mind when buying your spring
goods.
Our people are not such abject
slaves as to lick the hand that smites
them. To patronize Hood, Banbright
& Co. is to do this. Avoid the house
as if they dealt in infected goods.
Fellow democrats, don’t buy a
piece of goods that bears the odious
name of Hood, Banbright & Co. It
means John Wannamaker, your slan
derer.
TWO SIDES OF A RIVER.
During our visit to Barnett Shoals,
in Oconee county, we had a very in
teresting and instructive conversa
tion with Mr. R. L. Bloomfield, who
spends a greater part of his time
there superintending work on the
new factory. That gentleman spoke
to us of the country on each side of
the river, and said although the soil
was of the same quality and the
lasds lying in the same county, that
there was the greatest difference im
aginable in the character and pros
perity or the people. The country
on the eastern side of tbe stream is
owned by a few men, who control
their thousands of acres. As a nat
ural consequence, it is settled largely
with negroes, and while there are
some of our leading and best whits
families living there, they are widely
scattered. You see vast fields oi
cotton and corn, in the midst of
which are dilapidated cabins, inhab
ited by negroes. Much of this land
is owned by non-residents, and even
that in cultivation shows neglect and
improvidence. This side of the Oco
nee represents the Old South and
plantation system, which we hope
some day to see disappear from the
face of the country.
But pass the narrow limits of the
river and you enter an entirely dif
ferent country. Here the lands are
owned by those who till them, and
the plantations carved up into small
farms. You see do fine white man
sions sitting back in groves and sur
rounded by barns and out-buildings
of mammoth size ; and neither do
^you travel for miles, passing poorly
cultivated fields or through untilled
land. To cross tbe. Oconee at Bar
nett Shoals in travelling from tbe
east to west, is almost like leaving a
wild to enter a settled country. Tbe
western side of the county is thicb-
t ly populated by white farmers, whose
acres are few compared with the
plantations across the river, but who
till their own soil, aud a more indus
trious, thrifty and happy people do
not exist. Mortgages ;and debt ai,e
strangers to most of them. Tbey
have their churches,good schools, aud
little- social gatherings, and few peo
ple enjoy life more. Their farms are
self-sustaining,and their cotton crop
ls‘a‘clear profit. The men till the
fields and mind the stock, while their
'iriY& and daughters do the house
hold work 8nd swell the profits 6f the
farm by selling butter, chickens,
eggs, etc. Their houses are small,
but comfortable, and everything
around them as clean as broom aud
brush can make it. They are hos
pitable, and the stranger always
finds a hearty welcome within their
gates. This side of the Oconee rep
resents the New South—the farming
system.
In this lies the future of the South.
One section represents landlordism
And dependence on the negro ; the
other the small farmer and emancU
pation fiom the negro.
1 A valuable lesson can be learned
from these two neighborhoods in our
sister county of Oconee.

TliU COVINGTON & MACON.
The C. & M. has begun the first steps
towards erecting its new and com
modious depot in tbis city. The grounds
are being graded, and the Company has
begun the shipment of its lumber from
South Georgia necessary for the con
struction of the depot. The building
will cost about $50,000, and will be built
according to the latest and most im
proved styles of architecture. The
Company proposes to have a general
transformation of that portion of the
city, and will tear down all of the negro
houses on the immediate premises. A
new street will be opened fronting the
handsome new depot, and there will be
many other changes wrought upon that
section of the city—such as will enhance
its value and add greatly to its appear
ance.
The Covington & Macon is & prosper
ous young road, and is doing much for
the city of Athens, as well as for the
entire section of country through which
it runs. Mr. A. G. Craig, the Acting
Superintendent, is among the most en
ergetic young railroad men in Georgia,
and iB doing much for the upbuilding
of the Covington & Macon.
A GKBAT COMBINATION.
It is a great rumor now going tho
rounds of railroad circles, that the
Georgia, Carolina & Northern, the
Covington & Macon, and the G. S. «s
F. will be joined, forming one enor
mous, combined through line, from the
northeast to the southern part of Flor
ida. The reason for such a rumor is
perhaps due to the fact that Brown
Bros , the noted bankers, of Baltimore,
own a controlling interest in the C. &
M. and the G., C. & N., and such a
combination would play largely to their
gain. This would give one of the great
est through lines in the country, and
Athens would be the central point. It
is said that the G. S. & F. is now at
work extending their road around Ma
con, to connect with the Covington &
Macon, and this tends to further the
rumor of the great combine.

BARNETT SHOALS
MANUFACTURING CITY
CARVED FROM AN IDLE
WILD.
AND-
The Khedive Puts the Question to Him
Direct.
Cairo, Feb. 7—[Special]—The Egyp
tian Government, desiring to ascertain
whether Stanley was au American or
an Englishman, ordered Blum Pasha to
ask him the question. Stanley replied
after a moment’s hesitation, “Neither;
I am a cosmopolitan; the world is my
country.”
During his, last visit to the United
States, Stanley once said that on his
previous lecturing tour here, his life
was made miserable by being constantly
asked, “Mr. Stanley, where were you
born ?” In the early days of his news
paper career he was known as an Amer
ican, but after his discovery of Living
stone, when fierce light was thrown
upon his early history, itbecame known
that he was born in Wales. In early
life, he was known under the name of
Rowlands. His mother, to whom he
was devoted, and whom he always vis
ited when in England, died a few years
ago. He took the name of Stanley from
his benefactor in New Orleans.
A paragraph published recently in an
English paper, the Western Mail, says
that “when Stanley was a boy, he at
tended the St. Asaph Union school, and
the schoolmaster had so high an opin
ion of him that he used to put him in
charge of the schoolboys during his ab
sence. The boy was quite equal to the
task of maintaining discipline. Ho
would allow no one to question his au
thority. Rather than suffer any one to
take liberties with him, he would give
the boys a good thrashing all round,
and this he used to do so effectually,
that no hoy was found bold enough to
dispute his authority.”
In the same paper was published this
paragraph : “ ‘T. L. L. W.’ says that,
having searched the books at the work-
house in order to find if there are any
traces of Stanley there, he discovered
among the entries the name of John
Rowlands some eight times. The first
entry is that of his admission to the
house, which took place Feb. 20, 1847.
He is entered as belonging to the parish
of Denhigh, and as having been born in
1841. His name next occurs in the list
of inmates for the year 1851-56. Pre
vious to this no list of names for each
year was made out. Only the names of
those who were admitted or discharged
during the year were registered. The
last entry is dated May 13, 2856, and is
the time when he finally left the work-
house. He is there reported to have
gone to his uncle at the National School,
Holywell.”
Whether or not Stanley is an Amer
ican citizen is a matter of doubt. He
served in the Confederate Army and
then it is said joined the Northern
forces. In one of his talks with Mr.i
Stevene, recently published in the
World, he declared that he “consid
ered” himself an American.
FARMERS SEEK RELIEF.
Kansas Agriculturalists Ask the State for
Help.
Topeka, Ks., Feb. 7.—[Special]—Pe
titions emanating from the headquar
ters of the Farmers’ Alliance are being
circulated throughout the State, pray
ing the Governor to convene the Legis
lature in extra session. The petition
sets forth forth that there exists among
Kansas farmers “very great financial
embarrassment,” and asks that the
Legislature be called to extend relief to
them by the passage of a law providing
for the relief of the farmer by giving
the mortgager of a homestead at least
two years in which to occupy and re
deem ; if possible after sale of mortgaged
promises, and to provide also for a stay
of execution of all judgments on prom
issory notes and mortgages, bonds, ete.,
for a reasonable time after judgment,
without bond. Another petition is in
circulation asking that a special session
be called to amend railroad laws and
compel the companies to lower their
transportation rates.
What the Bloamfleld-* Water Fewer
Company is Doiug-The Siar
Thread Mill Completed—
The Fittest Manufnc-
turlnc Point in
Georgia.
“Do you want to visit Barnett Shoals
to-day?” asked Mr. Cheney, General
Manager of the Athens factory, of the
Banner editor, yesterday.
We accepted his invitation with
pleasure, as we have never seen this
important spot. A delightful ride of
nine miles through a fine farming
country landed us at our destination.
The day was spring-like weather, and
farmers were hard at work sowing oats
and breaking up land. The great draw
back to the country th rough which we
passed is that the lands are generally
owned by a few wealthy planters, who
rent them to negroes. There is not a
finer farming country in the South
than this. The soil is a rich red, with a
substratum of clay, and with improved
cultivation can be brought up to. the
highest state of fertility.
A short time ago Barnett Shoals
was surrounded by almost a
wilderness, aud its roaring waters, that
would propel the machinery for thou
sands of looms, were permitted to go to
waste since the world was created. But
that clear-sighted manufacturer Mr.
R. L. Bloomfield at hut secured pos
session of this magnificent property,
and formed a stock company to develop
it, known as the “Bloomfield Water
Power Co.’ ’ It is not their mission to
operate factories, but to erect and lease
6uch buildings as are demanded, and
sell their power. When developed,
these shoals will afford 6,000 horse
power, and operate forty mills as largo
as the Athens factory. Only think of
this! The Company will supply them
water at two cents a day per horse
power, and charge a moderate rental on
the buildings. Already one contract
has been made with the “The«Star
Thread Company”—an Athens organi
zation—and others are contemplated.
It is thought that in a lew years
all this power will be utilized and
the eld Barnett Shoals be made the
most important manufacturing point
in Georgia. The mill for the “Star
Thread Company” is completed and the
machinery placed in position. There is
some work yet to do in getting the
wheel in place, which is under the su
pervision of Mr. Brown, a a skilled ma
chinist of Holyoke, Mass. The factor}'
building is one of the best arranged we
have ever seen. It is built of stone, two
stories high, and 216 feet long by 100
broad. It is splendidly lighted and
heated by steam. The machinery will
be propelled by a turbine wheel, and
with a fall of 29 feet, gives 150 horse
power. There is room in the wheei-pit
for two other wheels, and three mills
can be operated. So soon as the mill
for;thc Star Company is completed,work
will commence on another factory ad
joining. It is proposed to make only
the best thread at the new mill, and
hence the most skilled hands to be
found will only be engaged. There
are sixteen houses for the operatives
now completed. Each contains three
rooms, all nicely plastered. The
houses are on a high, dry ridge, and so
built as to give each family a large gar
den and yard.
When Mr. Bloomfield first visited
this spot, he says he scarcely knew
where to begin work. The shoals are
one mile long, and at this point the
river is backed in on each side by steep
hills, those on the west being young
mountains in height and precipitous
ness. The fall is so rapid that the high
est water does not raise the stream over
ton feet, and it matters not how great a
flood, the factories built on the first
level need never stop. At the head of
the shoals the canal begins, where it’s
natural dam is formed; but if it is ever
necessary to use all the power the
entire river can be turned from its
damn into a canal by building a damn
not over six feet high. The water, af
ter it escapes the first time,can be again
taken up and used with equal power to
turn factories lower down the shoals.
There is a great future ahead for the
Bloomfield water i ower company,
and the day is not far distant when the
hanks of the river at this place will be
lined for a mile with mills, and the
music of the ruffling waters changed to
the hum of machinery.
Mr. Brown, the Holyoke machinist,
says the South is fast supplanting the
East in manufacturing, as we have ad
vantages far superior to his section.
Many eastern mills will move their ma
chinery to the South, and not fail to
take advantage of the facilities for man-?
ufacturing offered by the Bioomfield
Water Power company.

Shot By a Careless Student.
Bethany, February 7.—A sad acci
dent occurred at Bethany on Friday
evening, resulting in the death of Miss
Ella Phillips, of Pittsburg, a lady stu
dent at the College. A -party of four
were out target shooting with revolvers
when, through some accidental dis-
eharge of a firearm in the hands of one
of the male students, Miss Phillips was
shot through the bowels and, though
not considered dangerously hurt at the
time, she died this morning at.6 o’clock.
Drs. Shaver and Cox attended her, and
it was thought at 8 o’clock last evening
the patient might possibly recover, but
the deadly path of the bullet had been
too far-reaching and destructive in its
course and was beyond the pow er of
human aid to amend.
The affair has cast a gloom over the
whole community, and the sorrow
which shrouds the College is particular
