THE ATHENS BANNER TUESDAY MORNING APRIL 8 1890.
■
CONGRESSMAN CARLTON.
The Banker's special in Satur
day's issue annouuciug that Con-
gressmau Carlton would not enter
the race for re-election, Las been re
ceived with disappointment by many
of his friends all over this district.
Inquiries were made at The Banner
oliico yesterday by citizens of Ogle
thorpe, Clarke and other counties in
the district about the report, and
the news seems to have been received
with wide-spread and genuine re*
grot.
Dr. Carlton lias certainly won the
confidence and admiration of a large
constituency since he has been the
honored reprcsentativejjfrom Clarke
and the Eighth, and it is very likely
that be will be urged into the race
even after declining to be announced.
Many of his ardent supporters
hope that the report is not true that
he will not enter the the race, and all
of his friends are doubly regretful
if his intentions are to leave Ath
ens and make Washington Ins future
home.
One thing is certain, if Dr. Carl
ton is urged even } v 3t into the race,
he will be a dangerous opponent for
either Colley or Lawson, and one
that will be feared by each of them
The Banner hopes to bear some
thing definitely authentic about Dr.
Carlton’s plans soon, and will keep'
its readers and his friends duly post
ed about his intentions.
Meantime, the campaign is grow-
ing warmer each day and it is be
lieved that not half the candidates
are out j-et. Nobody knows who
will win, and The Banner, like ma
ny others, is an idle spectator of the
fun that’s promised.
Col. Buck, the disreputable repub
lican leader of the Georgia spoils
system, denies with violent emphasis
nil the charges made against him by
Deputy Collector Murray, of Athens.
Denial with Buck is very easy, but
ite might have bettered his ca"^e if
he had produced proofs to take the
place of vehement protestation.—
Koine Tribune.
“ Aye, there’s the rub!” Buck
knew the situation too well to argue
about it. It looks well for him to
flatly deny it, and everybody expect
ed as much. Nobody expected him
to argue his innocence. He was
never known to do that
THE GEORGIA CONVICT SYSTEM.
The New York World has sent a
correspondent to Georgia to unearth
in the execution of the convict lease
system what it heads in glowing
type, “Georgia’s Shame.” The
World has seen fit to attack the con
vict leasers of Georgia in a most un
just manner. In an editorial on its
so called expose, the World says :
“ Given the system by which men
convicted of crime, instead of being
shut up in a State regulated prison,
are leased out to speculative con
tractors to be worked for profit, it is
easy to imagine the inhumanity of
their treatment, the intensity of
their suffering and the horror of their
situation. But the facts are much
more difficult of access, and if there
were no other interest in our cor
respondent’s story his account of the
shifts to which he resorted in his
effort to see for himself the doiugs
of the camps would make a fascina
ting tale.”
In this the World deludes the peo
ple of the Norrtt. Every one famil
iar with the convict camps of Geor
gia knows they arc open to any one
who desires to inspect them, and the
correspondent’s story about his “in
terview under difficulties,” will be
laughed at as a silly faked tale.
If the World wanted to attack the
convict lease system as a system, it
might have done so without the out
rageous attacks on the keepers of
these convict camps. As a matter
of course tho World’s story is an
absurd exaggeration of facta, as is
all of its sensational articles, and
the manner in which the correspond
ent says he sneaked about his work,
if believed at all, will be considered
with about as much ill-favor to the
World as its concealment of its re
porter in the Flack jury room.
The World is a big paper, but is
not much after all.
policy of the republicans would have
caused it, but we further think
that the signatures of these men
afforded a just excuse for it.
Now the same argument applies
with equal force to Athens. The
appointment of Matt Davis would
never have been made but for the
names of those democrats who en
dorsed him. Although it is true
that those men signed the paper re
commending Matt Davis at a time
when they thought him the only ap
plicant for the place, and asked his
appointment because they thought
if any negro was to get the office, he
would give better satisfaction than
any other, still their endorsement is
the cause of his appointment over a
white man.
We believe that these men will
take their names off the paper now,
if they have not already done so. It
is not yet too late to correct their
mistake which was at the time natu
lal for them to make, nor is it yet
too late to defeat Matt Davis’ con
firmation. A recent dispatch lrom
Washington says Wanamaker has
completely caved about urging his
appointment, and when Senator Col
quitt unfolds the story of Matt Da
vis’ corruption,there can be no doubt
but that self-respect will demand
that the appointment be recalled.
Let the white men of Athens lose
no efforts in the mean time to check
the aggressions of negro supremacy

AN ABLE POLICY OUTLINED BY
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
Postmaster General Wanamaker
was asked by a reporter recently
about the charges against Buck, Da
vis and Pledger by Mr. I. Y. Murray
at Athens. He acknowledged that
they had been brought to his at
tention.
“Will you have the matter inves
tigated ?” he was asked,
His reply was that there was noth
ing for publication.
They Endorse the Sub-Treasury Sys
tem-Advocate an Enlargement of
the Powers of the Railroad
Commission—An In
teresting Paper,
CARLTON DECLINES
A TELEGRAM FROM HIM TO THAT
EFFECT.
He Will Support Dr. Clbson, of Ogle
thorpe—Widespread Disappoint
ment Will Follow His Refusal.
WANAMAKER WORRIED.
The report comes from Washing
ton at last that Postmaster General
Wanamaker has relented his insult-
ing speech about Athens and the
South, which he made to Congress
man Carlton sometime ago. It is
said that he recently remarked that
he believed it was wroDg to inflict
these ignorant negro postmasters
upon the South, and said there was
no justice in any such procedure. It
is further stated upon good authority
that Mr. Wanamaker is doing all in
his power to defeat the confirmation
of his own appointment of Matt Da
vis, which will soon be taken up in
tbe Senate.
If all of this be true, we have
been deceived in Mr. Wanamaker
-- " for we thought him a man totally
without conscience or sincerity. We
doubt even yet that Mr. Wanamaker
is so relenting, though we do believe
the boycott has caused him to urge
the defeat of Matt Davis’ appoint
ment.
Let that be as it may, the recent
revelations about the republican
management in Georgia will have
its just effect at Washington. Sena
tor Colquitt will explain matters be
fore Senators and will have a strong
appeal in behalf of the respectable
white citizens of Georgia against
such impositions as have hitherto
been hurled ugainst them. Matt
. Davis’ appointment will bring out a
great issue before Senators—not one
of race prejudice as those Senators
have believed it all along, not a ques
tion of political antagonism, but odc
L ... of a white man’s right to rule
white man’s government. The ar-
^ gurnent will be clinched with the re
cent woful experiences .of giving po
litical power to negroes, and will be
made doubly forcible by the late
exposure of negro republican corrup
tion in Georgia, which centres so
conspicuously in Athens, and with it
all we believe there is not a man in
Congress who can vote for Matt Da
vis’ appointmeuL
Meantime let the people of Athens
lose no efforts in keeping our repre
sentatives fully posted on the situa
tion here. Shame on the fair name
of Athens if her people suffer this
threatened iDsult to be made without
a manly protest.

The Atlanta Constitution is doing

justice to Georgia’s prosperity,
THE MILD WINTER’S DISASTERS-
Whatever may be said about the
cause of the mild winter that is just
now passing away, whether it be the
Gulf Stream or some other cause,
one thing is quite certain, it has been
a most disastrous winter with all its
mildness. It is very likely, too, that
its disastrous effects have Dot as yet
been fully realized. At least this is
to be feared.
In the first place tho mild winter
has been the cause of the fruit crop’s
serious blight all over the South,
which in itself is a serious calamity
to this country. The crops of small
grain too have been very much dam
aged, by tbe recent cold spells,which
though they were not out of season,
coming as they did after the mild
winter, proved too much for vege
tation.
The greatest disaster of the un
seasonable weather, however, has
been tbe unusual amount of sickness
that has prevailed in both conti
nents. It is given up by physicians
that the warm weather, if it did not
originate the Russian influenza, it
gave it reigDs to do its deadly work
in both continents. Especially in
Boston has the grip been disastrous
in its effects, and thousands have
been carried to their graves from the
dread disease.
It is yet to be feared that the mild
winter has preserved yellow fever
germs along the Southern coast,
which may prove a terrific scourge
this summer. We sincerely hope this
will not be true, but still the drift of
circumstances are sufficient to war
rant tbe fear that it will be, and to
warn tbe people to ward off tbe dm
ease by every effort to keep the cities
on the coast clean.
Surely, ihe mild winter has been
disastrous to vegetation, beast and
man.
LET DEMOCRATS RALLY
It certainly seems that while dem
ocrats in Georgia have not absolute
ly forsaken their ranks, they have
grown careless as to the party’s ad
vancemeDt, and have lost interest in
their own battles. All over the State
the sentiment of party fidelity seems
to have quietly fallen short of what
it once was and what it ought to be
to-day. We do not mean to say that
the party is losing strength in Geor
gia, nor that it is absolutely careless
as to the aggressious of republican
ism. Not at all. But it surely
true that the tone of the press, and
tho general sentiment throughout
the State of late days is not half so
loyal and watchful to the party’s in
terest as it once was.
It is now a season tor democrats
to awake in Georgia. The republi
can gang, made lip of “Boss” Buck
and a low contingent of negro-re
publicans, are constantly alive to the
urtherance of their party in this
State, and are seeking in a most
dangcious method to carry a solid
delegation of republicans to the next
convention for Harrison. In the ex
ecution of this plan, no infamy, no
threats, no insults are too severe for
them to hurl upon the solid dem
ocracy of our Empire Stale, aud it
behooves democrats to rally at once
to their colors.
The cauipaign of ’92 is not suffi
ciently distant to warrant idleness
and it would be well for the demo
crats of even so solid a State as
Georgia to keep a watchful eye that
a large vote is polled for the demo
cratic candidate, whoever that cans
didate might he. It would be well
for every democrat in the State to
begin already to surrey the cam
paign, aud do
Dr. Carlton positively declines to run.
He will lay aside Congressional hon
ors and will have no hand in the cam
paign, except to favor his friend, Dr.
Gibson, of Oglethorpe.
A telegram to this effect was received
iu Athens yesterday. It read:
Carlton out. Will favor Gibson, of
Crawford. H. H. Carlton.
This telegram confirmed the rumor
that he |would not be a candidate for
re-electiou in the next campaign, and
is definite information from him to his
many friends. The Presidency of the
Southern Investment Company after
the close of his term will claim his en
tire attention, and we will not only
lose him as^our Congressman but also
os a citizen.
A SERIOUS DISAPPOINTMENT.
Dr. Carlton’s decision will be a seri
ous disappointment to his many friends
who had hoped that the rumor of his
deoliniug to run was a groundless one,
and that he would yet be urged into
tbe race. He has won the confidence
and admiration of a large constituency
in the Eighth.
Universal regret throughout many
counties will accompany the news of
his refusal to run and his intention to
leave Athens.

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Drowned While Trying to Cross a
Swollen Stream.
Milford, III., April 1.—[Special.]—
Grant Adsik, his wife, his two-year-old
child and a young daughter of Elntire
Thomas, attempted to cross Sugar creek
ford, four miles nothwest of here, yes
terday morning, and three of the party
were drowned. Mrs. Adsik being the
only one left to relate the sad story.
A storm was raging and the wife pro
tested in vain against atttempting to
cross. The wagon bed was lifted and
hown the stream. Adsik plunged into
the water and tried repeatedly to push
the floating box ashore. After desper
ate efforts he succumbed aud sank.
Miss Thomas was thrown out and also
drowned. Mrs. Adsik clung t* the
wagon bed after her habo was drowned
before her eyes, and afterwards manag
ed to grasp some willows, which over
hung the stream,and drag herself ashore.

might be in his power to advance the
standard of his party. Let Georgia
poll the largest democratic vole in
’92 ever known.
RECOMMENDING NEGROES-
A special from Washington to the
Americus Recorder has come to the
point about negro appointments, as
follows :
“ Southern democrats should quit
giving letters of recommendation to
negroes. Dudley’s cbance for ap
pointment would amount to nothing
if he did not have the signatures of
some of Americus’ best citizens to a
paper certifying to his “ many ex
cellent traits of character.”
This is certainly on the right line,
and goes to the right spot at once.
The lepublicana whose policy it is
to deal out as many offices to ne
groes in Georgia as possible, to se
cure an unbroken delegation at the
next convention for Harrison, are
only too willing to get these signa
tures of white men and democrats in
Georgia as endorsement of tbe ne
groes. The case of Dudley’s ap
pointment to the Americus post office
is a point in view. It cannot be de
nied that Dudley’s appointment only-
resulted from tbe endorsement which
he received from the prominent
white men of Americas. We do not
believe tbat this is tbe sole cause of
his appointment, for we think the
OUR RAILROAD FUTURE.
Athens surely bus the most prom
ising railroad future of any city in
Georgia. The town seems to be
magnet for every railroad tbat is
started in Georgia, for they invaria
bly take Athens in their course, cr
else make it their terminus.
There are now three roads running
to the city—the Georgia, the North
Eastern and the Covington & Ma
con. Whei the Georgia, Carolina
& Northern is finished, wc will be
placed in better connection with the
East than could possibly be obtained
through any other route. The build
ing of this route will in due time
bring the extension of tho Georgia
Midland from McDonough to cons
nect us with the Southwest. The
Lula, Tate and Athens Air-Line is
regarded by President Lawrence as
an assnred success, and through this
road we will reuch out to the West
Tbe building of the road from Carnes
ville to Athens is considered only
question of time, and the extension
of the Blue Ridge & Atlantic to
Knoxville is most promising.
All in all, Athens has a future that
promises -to name her the railroad
centre of Georgia. The best ol all
is that this future will soon be real
ized, too.
A CIRCUS IN A BAD FIX.
Their Vessel Wrecked and the People
In Great Need.
Cairo, Ill., April 1,—[Special.]—The
officers of the steamer, Nail City, re
port the City of St. Paul, lying at Spot-
well fields, a complete wreck from
the storm of Thursday.
The St. Haul had a circus on board,
tweflfcy-three people and a small me
nagerie, belonging to George Ed
wards.
Six of the party are women, who are
living in a shanty boat and the men are
without shelter, fuel or light and for
days have had no food.

about an acre in extent and no dry land
within twelve miles.
THE AUGUSTA OFFICE.
Atlanta, April 1.—[Special.]—The
Executive Committee of the Alliance,
at its meeting held last -night, .cut ou t
some important &ork for the order.
The Railroad policy was outlined, as
was the Alliance policy upon all mat.
ters of amount.
They affirmed the famous Macon res
olution as the true policy of the Alli
ance and people of Georgia.
They then demand that the powers of
the state railroad commission shall he
enlarged, and that more control of the
railroaus be given to tbe state and in
terstate commissions.
They demand tbat better common
school facilities shall be afforded the
children of the State.
They demand poor and workhouses
for the indigent.
They demand that convicts be better
treated and eared for, and that the able-
bodied ones be made to work the roads.
They demand tho lowest possible tar
iff duties on all articles neeessary to the
farmers of the country.
They demand the adoption of the
sub-treasury plau or something better.
And they demand that all candidates
for office in Georgia shall place them
selves squarely with tho Alliance on
this policy.
Here is the resolution in full. The
Banner publishes it earlier than "any.
other paper in Georgia,except the Sunlit
ern Alliance Farmer, the offieialor-
gan:
Whereas, Paragraph 4, Sec. 2, Art. 4
of the constitution of Georgia declares:
“The general assembly of this state
shall have no power to authorize any
corporation to buy shares or stock in
any other corporation in the state or
elsewhere, or to make any contracts or
agreements whatever with any such
corporation which may luvo the effect
or be intended to have the effect, to de
feat or lessen competition in their re-
pective businesses, or to encourage
monopoly; and such contracts and
agreements shall be illegal and void.”
Your committee respectfully suggest
the enforcement of the above constitu
tional clause in its full and original in
tent; to-wit: That corporations shall
remain competitive,not forgiven points
or localities, but for the whole people
and the entire state; and that the pow
ers of the inter-state and state railway
commissions be so enlarged as that
they may co-operate one with
the other in regulating clas
sifications and rates, ’ and the
warehouse features of railway ears and
depots. And these regulations should
bo based upon a reasonable cost of con
struction, equipment and running of
roads, and not upon watered stocks or
high prices paid for stocks for purposes
of consolidation and control.
Railroads must recognize the interest
and rights of the people in chartered
corporations, and the laws of the state
should be such as to empower the rail
road commission to enforce the same,
and the commission should be uuulo to
do its whole duty in the premises.
