THE ATHENS BANNER: TUESDAY MORNING FEBRUARY ll, 1890.
MANUFACTURING FATAL TO THE
FARMING INTEREST.
Mr. R. L. Bloomfield is a gentle-
mau of deep thought, and we are
never long in his presence without
gathering new ideas, worthy of care
ful consideration, This week he
advanced an opinion that utterly de*.
stroy8 the argument of our Southern
protection tariff papers that the
buildiug of manufactories in our
se itiou is the best and speediest way
to enrich the South and enhance our
fa using interest by giving a ready
inirket for their surplus produce.
M \ Bloomfield says manufacturing
is certain death to agriculture where
the two industries are brought close
together ; and as proof of this cites
us to Vermont and other New Eng
land States, that were once garden
spots ot agriculture, and farming
lauds were of great value. But with
the growth of manufacturing, the
farms began to be depopulated and
decrease in value, until to-day when
thousands upon thousands of acres
are deserted and growing up a sec
ond wilderness, for lack of hands to
till the fields. The reason of this is
plain: Employes in the various
manufactories are paid much better
wages than the farmers are able to
g’ive, and they eventually drain all
the surrounding country of every
jtblc-bodied worker. The farmer
struggles along tho best he can, but
it is ouly a question of time when he
must desert the fields and find them
valueless on his hands. Mr. Bloom
field says even the little work they
have done at Barnett Shoals is al
ready having its effect in advancing
the demands of farm hands in that
section. They were entirely satisfied
to work at $15 per month ; but so
soon as it was learned that 75 cents
a day was paid laborers on the new
mill, they demanded the same wages
from tho farmers and were dissatis
fied if it was not given them. Mr.
Bloomfield says he has always made
it a rule never to take an able-bodied
man from the farm to work in his
factory, and has refused hundreds of
applications from such. But other
manufacturers will not be so thought
ful.
This is a new idea to us, and one
worthy of careful consideration.
Every word uttered by Mr. Bloom
field is true. While of course to
erect manufactories will enrich our
country, at the same time it is like
sapping the very life-blood from our
farming interest. The great wealth
of the South is invested in lands.
To destroy this property would not
only be a calamity, but a fatal blun
der—for agriculture is the backbone
of any country,and in this honorable,
a,nd God blessed avocation lie true
prosperity, virtue and happiness.
There is one safe* guard, however,
thrown around the South that the
North does'not possess—negro labor.
This race can be worked to only a
limited success m manufacturing,
while the farm is tbeir natural avo
cation. But manufacturing will af.
feet even the negro to some extent.
We do not oppose encouraging
manufacturing, for to do so would
brand us as a fogy, which we are not.
But after our conversation with Mr.
Bloomfield, we have been strongly
impressed—for there is no disputing
his argument. It should be the first
duly of the South to preserve and
protect our agricultural interest.
Xet such laws be enacted as will
place the fanner on an equal.footing
with the manufacturer. This can be
(done by taking from the one the ad
vantages of protection, and let him
$ell his goods in the markets of the
work), and give the farmer the priv
jlego ot baying wherever he can the
cheapest. So surely as our oppressive
and iniquitous protection tariff sys
tem is continued, it will build up
manufacturing, but sound the death
knelj to agriculture The two in
dustries cannot flourish side by side,
when one is taxed to sustain the
other. Let the farmer be placed on
an equal footing with the manufac
turer, and he will be able toehold his
own even in New England, and at
the same time the latter will be given
all the legitimate prosperity to which
he is jnstly entitled.
REED’S NEW CODE-
Now that Speaker Reed has car
ried his point and inaugurated anew
code for the government of the Na^
tional House of Representatives it
might be in order to inquire into the
results that will oblaia from his
ruthless and unheat d of rulings. Itis
clear that he has effectually carried
his point for the present, and that
the House will be governed by a Re-
pnbliean majority thin session of
congress, at least.
But let us look beyond, and see if
there has been anything gained by
the action of Speaker Reed either for
the general government, or for the
Republican parly.
It is quite evident in the outset
that no good will come of it to the
general government* The very means
of instituting these iniquitous rul
ings in the management of the House
and the very motives that prompted
them is in itself sufficient to warrant
the statement that the United States
will undergo a period of unsafe gov
ernment at the hands of the House
so long as the Fifty-first Congress
lasts.
As regards the effects of Reed’s ac
tion upon the Republican party
there could not have been a more se
rious injury inflicted upon that
party than Speaker Reed has ac
complished. Blinded to his own in
terests, he has brought himself and
his own party into shame aod dis
grace. The most prominent raem-
bers.of his own party have told him
so, and the last reports from Wash
ington state that Mr. Reed and many
other leading republicans have grown
quite.conscience stricken of lute. It
is very generally conceded that the
next House will be a Democratic one
and if this be true Speaker Reed will
find too late that he has set a death
trap for his own party by establishs
ing this precedent.
So after all, what is the benefit of
this rash and hasty action? The
Boston Herald which is one of the
clearest-headed journals in the North
very wisely says that power is safer
in the hands of the House than iD
the hands of the Speaker. If it is
not, our idea of popular government
is all a delusion, and the quicker
Cromwell or a Napoleon comes to us,
the better.

THE SLANDEROUS TELEGRAM FLAT
TENED IN THE TEETH OF
ITS AUTHOR.
The Banner Editor Sustained ill Every
Tiling lie ha* Written.
Dick Hawas seems to be getting
ready for his day of reckoning. He
has, according to the latest reports
made a clean breast of his crime
told ob others that were implicated
in the business, named the spot
which he desires to be his last resting
place, and, in fact, appears to “draw
the drapery of his couch about him”
with deliberation and a subdued
spirit. He laces death more honor
ably than he faced life, and for this
reason may God have mercy on his
soul.
NO IDLE THREAT.
The past few days have served to
establish the fact that the merchants
of Athens intenjded no idle threat by
their determination to withdraw their
patronage from Wanamaker’s firms,
in case he obstinately persisted in
inflicting a negro post master upon
the respectable citizens of Athens
and Clarke county.
Tbe interviews and different re
ports of the boycott in Athens that
have appeared in the local columns
of the Banner for several days past
show that this determination on the
part of the merchants will be fol
lowed to the letter, should the Post
Master General continue to disre
gard their petition for a white and
intelligent officer in this position
One merchant who has for a num
ber of years had dealings with Wan
amaker’s firm, Hood, Bonbright &
Co, of Philadelphia has withheld his
Spring orders which usually amount
to nearly $2,000 until the appoint
ment of the Athens post master. If
Matt Davis or any other negro is ap
pointed to the place he will give his
order to another firm. Many other
merchants have expressed themselves
as standing exactly in these tracks
and it is now certain that Post Mas
ter General Wanamaker will not re
ceive a penny from Athens through
any of his varied avennes of trade
henceforth,if he continues in bfi ob
stinate humor and turns a deaf ear
to the requests of our citizens.
The ladies and youth of our city
are no less loyal in this issue than
the merchants. Many ladies in Ath
ens who have formerly done a great
deal of trading with Wanamaker’s
houses by mail and^ express have de
clared that they will join our mer
chants in the boycott. The students
of our University and schools say
they will purchase no goods with
Wanamaker’s brand upon them oi
bandied by the firms with which he
might have been associated directly
or indirectly. The boycott has as
sumed a general nature and is spread
ing every day.
Every fair-minded man will say
that it is a legitimate way ot ai go
ing the issue,and every loyal South
erner will give a hearty Godspeed to
the move.
We do not propose to answer argu
ment with billingsgate.
The following letter from Judge N.

Banner editor has written about the
outrageous and slanderous attack upon
Mr. Russell’s good name.
Jefferson, Ga., Feb. C, 1890.
IIon. R. B. Rossell, Solicitor-Gen
eral,—Dear Russell :—The ill-advised
publicity which has been given a great
ly exaggerated account of the trivial
matter that occured during Oconee
court is deeply rogretted, and I have
sympathized with you in the pain it has
inflicted on your sensitive nature.
The records of the court will refute
the statement thal you were indicted or
presented for any offense^ whatever,
and a torough investigation into the
origin of the rumors that caused the
sensation fails to discover anything in
your conduct to shako confidtmce in
your integrity as an officer and a
man.
I feel quite sure that the bar and all
others informed of the facts, will unite
with me in these assurances of con
tinued confidence and sympathy. Very
Truly, Yours etc. N. L. Hutchins.
Mr. B. E. Thrasher publishes the fol
lowing card, which we cannot afford to
let pass unnoticed:
Watkinsville, Ga., Feb. 6, ’90.
Mr. J. C. Johnson :
It is said that there are many ne
gro gamblers in this section of Geor
gia and that plantation work is be
coming very much neglected end
con fused by it.
Dear Sir :—Mr. T. L. Gantt certainly
misunderstood me when he met mo in
Athens on last Tuesday, as to one tiling
published in the Wednesday’s Banner,
viz: “That I thanked him for his arti
cle of February 4th.'’ I had not seen
the article at that time. I am satisfied
that Mr. Russell was innocent of any
intention to do wrong, and, I am also
satisfied that in reporting the matter,
you only acted as a watchful and live
reporter in forwarding the news to the
Atlanta Constitution, without any de
sire whatever to injure Mr. Russell.
Indeed, from a long acquaintance with
you, I am bold to state, that I consider
you entirely incapable of intentionally
seeking to injure the character of any
one.
Respectfully yours,
B. E. Thrasher,
Ordinary Oconee County.
There is an evident attempt in the
above to evade the main issues, by de
nying a trivial and unimportant para
graph—the matter of thanks.
The above card has no bearing what
ever upon the controversy. It may
have escaped Judge Thrasher’s mind,
but he certainly made the remark, and
asked our band. He was probably not
referring to our editorial in defense of
Solicitor Russell, but to the telegram of
denial we sent to the Constitution, and
whicli he had seen. Tho conversation
occurred in a Broad street store, and
was heard by one of Athens’ most re
sponsible merchants.
If necessary, we will give the gentle
man’s name and he says he will face
Mr. Thrasher and recall to him kis re
marks, which were as follows:
Mr. Thrasher says that there was no
ground for Mr. J. C. Johnson’s to the
Atlanta Constitution, which announced
that Mr. Russell had been indicted by
the grand jury of Oconee county. He
said the dispatch had evidently been
sent before the. grand jury reported
Mr. Thrasher then volunteered the
statement that Solicitor Russell had
done nothing wrong, that he (Mr.
Thrasher) had been a county officer for
a number of years and to his knowledge
every Solicitor General had done exact,
ly as Mr. Russell.
This was Mr. Thrasher’s statement to
the BANNER-editor and as to the ques
tion of thanks that is entirely immhte
rial as we were only performing a duty
by a fellow-citizen and State officer, who
was the innocent victim of a dastardly
slander.

MR. ROBERT SMITH DIES FROM
TYPHOID PNEUMONIA.
Wyly Taken to Birmingham—Hawes
Confession Only a Ruse to Belay
Justice
Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 8.—[Special.1
—Dick Hawes’s confession is the talk of
the town. Some of the officials deny
that Hawes has made & confession, but
these denials are not believed. There
is no doubt that Hawes has told his
brother and the sheriff that he paid
John Wyly $200 to get his wife and
children out of the way so he could
marry again. Hawes claims that he
did not think Wyly would murder
them. He believes that Wyly may
have gotten negroes to do the killing.
It is thought the denials of the offi
cials are made because they believe
other persons besides Wyly will be im
plicated when Hawes’ full statement
is made. Opinion is divided as to Wy
ly’s guilt.
the clinching evidence.
Atlanta, Feb. 8—[Special]—The
statement made by Dick Hawes that
John Wyly murdered Mrs. Hawes arid
her two little daughters, is evidently a
ruse to gain a longer lease of life.
Iti* universally believed that John
frly did not do the deed.

"As stated in yesterday’s telegram
John Wyly was arrested and taken to
the police station.
This morning he was visited by a re
porter. Wyly occupied the captain’s
room, and his wife and child were with
him.
Wyly took his arrest quietly, but
there was a sad expression about his
face and his eyes filled with tears when
he looked at his wife or

“I am innocent,” said he to there
porter, “and I don’t mind the arrest
so far as my apprehensions to myself are
concerned; but there are ray wife and
child. It is hard to be separated from
them in such a manner when I am as
innocent as an angel of God. My form
er arrest ou the same charge did much
to hurt me in my business, and I found
it hard to get a foothold again. Now,
just as I was again making my way in
the world and my wife and child were
happy once more, here all the trouble
come once more. And to think that I
must endure it when 1 am innocent!
Hawes is only trying to save his own
neck a few months, but it will do him
no good.
Mrs. Wyly, interrupting her husband,
said:
“1 hope it will not save his neck a
second.”
“I don’t see how any body can be
lieve me guilty of such a crime,” con
tinued Wyly,
“i wouldn’t slap that child,”
said he, as he took his little three-year-
old girl in his arms and kissed her, “for
two hundred dollars; would I Laura.”
“People in Atlanta don’t think you
are guilty, Wyly,” said the reporter.
“Ajid I thank you for it. 1 know I
will come out all right, fbut it is this
separation from my wife and child that
1 mind so much.”
Wyly was kept in chargo of a special
officer, whom he had to pay himself,
untill the sheriff of Birmingham took
him away.
Sheriff Joe Smith,
THE MAN WHO WILL HANG HAWES,
COMES AFTER JOHN WYLY—HE TAK3.
Sheriff Joe Smith, of Birmingham,
“Little Joe Sm.th,” as he is called, the
man of iron nerve and undaunted cour
age, arrived in Atlanta this morning
for the purpose of taking Wyly to Bir
mingham.
Sheriff Smith is the man who will
hang Hawes. He is the man who kept
back a desperate mob when Judge
Lynch wanted to strike down the law,
although he had to sacrifice a few lives
to do it. And Sheriff Smith has be
come an interesting figure in this great
tragedy that has caused so much blood
to fiow, and which now presents a new
feature in the confession of tb* murder
er and the alleged implication of John
Wyly.
Sheriff Smith was in Montgomery
when be heard of Hawes’ confession,
and he proceeded at once to Atlanta to
jet Wyly.
He was seen by a reporter at police
headquarters this morning.
“What do you think of Hawes’ con
fession ?” was asked.
“Well, I don’t hardly know what to
think. I don’t believe Hawes has
TOLD AS MUCH AS IS SUPPOSED
He may have told his brother that he
was guilty, and in some way implicica
ted John Wyly. The people in Bir
mingham arc rather inclined to think
that Wyly knows something about the
murder, and probably had a hand in
it.”
Isn’t It a ruse on the partof Hawes
to get a longer lease on life?”
“I don’t think so. Hawes has made
up his mind that he must die and he
wants to have it over with. Besides,
the confession and implication of Wyly
will not lengthen Hawes’ life a single
day. That is my opinion. I don’t be
lieve the governor will do more than
have Hawes’ testimony taken down be
fore a justice of the peace and
HAWES WILL HANG ON FEBRUARY 28,
the appointed time. I can’t say how
Wyly’s case will come out nor what
weight Hawes’ testimony will have.
That is for our courts and jury.
“Hawes L< very restless and nervous
and we are keeping guard over him
to keep him from taking his own life.”

SHERIFF SMITH IRA YES WITH JOHN WY
LY—PARTING FROM WIFE AND CHILD.
At 1:13 o'clock this afternoon, Sheriff
Smith left for Birmingham with John
Wyly.
About 10 o’clock this morning, Mrs.
Wyly and her little girl left the otation-
house in a carriage, and an hour laer
returned with a valise containing Wy
ly’s clothes.
The rest of the time before the separa
tion took place, Wyly kept his little girl
in his arms, and'every now and then
would say to her:
“Stay with your papa, my baby, for
it may do some time before you will see
him again.”
The parting was a painful scene.
The sheriff will arrive iu Birming

Mr. Robert Smith is dead!
The news will strike a solemn spell
of gloom to many a heart in Athens.
lie was well known and highly es
teemed throughout this entire portion
of Georgia, for he had many good traits
of haracter and noble impulses that < n
dearedhim to the hearts of all who
knew him.
He was sick only a week with ty-
phid pneumonia, having been attacked
with this dread disease last Friday aud
died night before last. During his ill
ness he was attended by Dr. Willing
ham and Dr. Carter and while they re
alized that his illness was of a very se
vere and dangerous nature, they did
not expect his death to come so sudden
ly. Not until Thursday did any one
fear that the sorrowful end was so near
at hand.
Mr. Smith was a young man compar
atively speaking, and had not reached
his thirty-fifth year. He leaves a wife,
two children, his mother aud mother-in-
law,who were dependent upon his la
bors for their support. They will,how
ever, be frilly cared for Col. James M.
Smith, whose relatives they are.
Mr. Robert Smith was a nephew of
Col. James Smith, and for a number of
years he has been tiie General Superin
tendent of Col. Smith’s mammoth farm
at Smithonia. Lie was a great aid to
Col. Smith, and the management of the
entire business of the farm devolved
upon him during the absence of Col.
Smith. He was a business man of many
rare qualifications and is noted union/
all who knew him for being one of the
best and most straight-forward business
men in this section of the State.
His life was characterized by many
deeds of charity and kindness, which
evidenced a noble nature anu a genial
hearted gentleman. It was through
thise merits that he wou friends wher
ever he was thrown and succeeded at
whatever he undertook. He was well
known, not only in Athens and this im
mediate vicinity, but all over the State
of Georgia, and his death will cause
much wide spread sorrow among a host
of relatives aud friends is every sec
tion.
Not many years ago Mr. Smith mar
ried a Miss Heard, of Wilkes county,
who was a member of one of the .best
families in the State. He leaves her
and two children to mourn his death and
to receive the profound sympathy of
scores of friends all over Georgia.
The remains, of Mr. Smith will be in
