An Old Soldier’s Wonderful Story of a
Game of Draw Poker,
believe that I can honestly claim
to have made the biggest bet on record
in a poker game,” said an old soldier,
who was one of a group engaged in a
social game of “draw” the other night.
How much was it?” another player,
who had just Thrown down his hand
with the exclamation that it was only
‘‘nine high.” J
“Two millions of dollars,” said the
old soldier placidly.
A series of “whews!” came from the
rest of the party, hut the veteran was
not in the least disconcerted. “It’s a
fact, as sure as your are living sinners,”
he exclaimed, “and if you’ll listen I’ll
tell you how it came about,”
For a minute or more the game was
suspended, while the veteran told this
story; “Wo were in winter quarters
in 1862, near White Oak Church, Va.
Each regiment took its turn in doing
picket duty, and it was the good luck of
the borps to which I was attached to
capture a Paymaster’s wagon contain
ing 1 cannot «ay how many millions of
bill sand bonds.”
“Oh, I see,” interrupted one of the
group* “it was Confederate money!”
‘ Your head is level,” replied the vet
eran; “but still it was money, and gave
my company, which made the capture,
the oportuniiy for playing the heaviest
game of poker ever heard of. The-aute
was $100 and there was no limit. Hence
you may conceive there was some lively
betting.
“In the foray somethink like $5,000,-
000 of the stuff came into the possission
of myself and my three tent mates, and
as soon as we got back to the camp wa
started the game. 1 had fairly good
luck at the start, but after a while the
pastehoads went back on me, and I rare
ly got a pair bigger than deuces.
“This went on until my pile had been
brought down to about $2,000,000.
There was a $1,000 “jack pot,” and
when I picked up my hand I found the
invariable deuces. The man next to me
opened the pot for $1,000, the next man
and myself saw him, and then we drew.
Each of the others took three cards, but
I contented myself with one. When it
came to my turn there was $2,000 to put
up, and without lifting my hand I rais
ed the last better $2,000,000. This drove
the man next to me out and left the Held
clear for myself and one opponent. He
deliberated for a long time, counted
over his pile—which contained just a
little more than the amount of tlio bet
—and then threw up his hand.
“When I iooked at my cards I found
that I had not bettered my two deuce3.
My opponent threw down a pair of
kings. I ascertain) d later that at that
very time certain Southern sympathi
zers in Baltimore were paying five cents
on the dollar for confederate money, and
I wanted to kick myself for not having
known it sooner.”
ABOUT A QUESTION OF HONOR |
AND COME NEAR DUELING.
Dr. Rush and Dr. Lowry no More on |
Friendly Terms—Details of the
Trouble and Their Little
Spat.
“Who shall decide when doctors dis
agree?”
Sometimes the decision is made by
courts and juries, but yesterday two
Athens doctors came near fighting it
out.
Those who were passing down the
street about eleven o’clock and saw Dr.
Lowry and Dr. Rush walking across
the street at Jester’s crossing did not
think for a moment that they were
about to engage in a personal encoun
ter, but yet such was, indeed, true.
Only a few intimate friends knew that
trouble was brewing between them, but
it was, and,very serious trouble at that.
Fortunately the twj> gentlemen were
separated before tney came to blows.
After trouble was all over—or rather
hoped to be all over—a reporter called
on the parties involved and learned the
different sides of the issue:
Dn. LOWRY’S VIEW OF THE CASE.
Dr. Lowry, who is among the well-
known physicians in Athens said while
speakiugot the fight:
“Since my dissolution with Rush as
a copartner in the firm of Rush&Lowry,
I have heard that he made several slan
derous statements about my life,both as
a man and physician. When I heard
those reports I determined to demand a
A Great Project that Is Still Alive.
A Banner reporter yesterday met a
wealthy and prominent citizen of Ath
ens, who said:
“I notice that the Commercial is to

agement. I am glad of this, but let me
say to y> u that the scheme started last
fall to build a new and modern hotel for
Athensis neither dead or sleepeth. We
were all too busy last winter to devote
any time to the enterprise, but this sum
mer a company will take it in hand,and
we will build the hotel, too. Arrange
ments are now being perfected. AVe
want to have it open by January, 1891.
Athens needs a first-class hotel, with
all modern improvements—a building
that will reflect the growth and enter
prise of onr city. Nothing less will sat
isfy our people. You can rest assured
that such a building will he erected. I
am now in correspondence with some
capitalists, and with the money we can
raise at home, there is no poubt about
the new hotel. But this will not inter
fere with the Commercial. There will
be plenty of business In Athens for a
half dozen first-class hotels.”j
LANK’S GHOST.
The Carnesvllle Tribune Spoils a Sen
sational Story. u—
Last week The Banker copied from
the Toccoa News a story about the bones
of old Lank, a negro excavated in
Franklin county for rape. The Tribune
explodes the mystery as follows:
“We are sorry to spoil such a nice sen

HOW A DUSKY MURDERESSCARV-
ED HER HUSBAND.
A Crime Shrouded In Mystery and |
Characterized by Horrible Brutal
ity—The Woman Arrested.
A horrible murder at Antioch.
Such are the reports that come from
the quiet and peaceful little town just
below Athens on the Georgia railroad.
An infuriated negress carves her hus
band with a razor and kills him almost (
instantly—and all on the holy Sabbath
day, while every body was, or should I
have been learning lessons of righteous
ness.
The story as told by one who was j
present to see the negro breathe bis
last, is a most horrible one, and one
draped in mystery and doubt. The ne
gro man who fell a victim to bis wife’s |
wrath, was a laborer on the farm of Mr.
James Young, of Antioch, named Hen
ry Harris. He was a respectful negro I
and was always believed to be straight
forward and congenial in family mat- [
ters. No quarrel was ever known to ex- [
ist between him and his wife, and for
this reason the crime seems doubly [
atrooious and full of mystery.

CENSUS ENUMERATORS.
LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE.
The Ground Opens and Land is Shifted
Most extraordinary landslip- in con
sequence of the late rains and floods oc
curred at Mindeii, Queensland, one of
the farming centers in the Rosewood
scrub, which gave rise to a report that
a severe earthquake had taken place
there. Tracks and fissures of many feet
have opened in all directions, and large
area- of land moved bodily. Rouses
nvre destroyed and whole farms ruined
A correspondent visited the locality and
the following is his description of one
ease out of several.
An elderly German farmer named
(ia.lisehke, was sitting inside his house
with his family, the rain outside falling
in torrents, while the wind blew with
tlie force of a gale. Suddenly a report
like that of a 100-ton gun startled the
family and threw them into consterna
tion. This report was followed by a sec-
on<l, and then a dull, rumbling noise,
like thunder; but they knew the sound
cimic from underground, and the house
commenced to rock in all directions,
tia.lisehke ran to the door just in time
to see his barn totter and fall to the
ground. He was terrified. He saw the
ground cracking in all places and felt it
moving.
A third horrible report taking place,
lie rushed inside again, determined at
all hazards to take his family to some
place of safety. They fled to the door,
but seeing the great gaps were continu
ally appearing in the opening ground,
they were afraid to venture from the
house lest they should stop into one of
the fissures and disappear. A galvan
ized iron tank full of w .ter alongside
t'.e house was thrown off the stand, and
rolling down the hill, crushed into the
cow house. Simultaneous with another
deafenin'.; report Gadisehke saw his cow
house become a wreck.
The rumbling continued and the
ground moved for two and a half hours,
not stopping till 4:80 o’clock in the
afternoon, loud reports going off during
the whole time. The rain continued to
fall in blinding sheets. The poor old
man removed his terrified family to
smne friends and then went back to see
" hat he could save. His plot of twelve
acres is entirely destoyed, and within
this area were the whole of the old fel
low’s buildings, red chesesre hope'e^sly
"reeled. Back oi his farm another;
eight, or ten acres have moved, and this
"; a covered with a nice crop of corn
In ilie fruit garden cracks and fissures
can be seen 12 to 20 feet deep. Other
farms bad suffered in a similar manner;
ami at least eighty acres of land have
bodily shifted, in some places to a depth
°f 40 feet. The farm :rs are completely
ruined. The occurrence has caused
great excitement in the district.
A Word of Advice and Warning to Su
pervisor Bowers.
It is generally understood that old
man Billy Bowers, in the event that he
cannot find white republicans in a
county, will appoint negro enumerators.
This is an outrage that our people
will not meekly submit to. These
enumerators must come in direct con
tact with the families of mr white citi
zens—often when the head of the house
away from home—and they will not
have their wives and daughters cate
chised with all manner of impertinent
questions by strange negroes. They
11 die in their tracks before submit
ting to such an insult and outrage. If
the republican administrations secs fit
give these negroes positions where
they only meet the men, we can stand
but when they are empowered to
invade the sanctity of private homes,
and flaunt their ii.science, and impu
dence in th6 laces of our wives and
daughters, it is carrying matters entire-
too far. Right there the line will be
drawn.
To appoint negroeensus enumerators
the rural districts, will be to encour
age strife and blood-shed. The South
ern homes have never as yet been open
ed to blacks, and will not be without a
stubborn defense. The sooner this man
Bowers learns this the better. He
laims to be a minister of the Gospel,
ami he knows the Southern people well
enough to discern the fact that the day
he starts a negro enumerator out among
them, that he acts the part of an agita
tor and encourager of strife, and all the
blood that is shed will cling to his
hands. And there will be blood-shed,
too, the day he tries to force his negro
officers into white doors. He can min
gle and associate with this race as much
as he likes, if it is to his taste, but he
can’t put them on our white families so
long as there is a drop of true Southern
blood in the veins of the white men of
Ge-rgia.
Besides, it will be a perfect farce to
trv and take a correct census with ne
gro enumerators. At every step their
work will be retarded. Far better to
abandon the idea of a census than made
such an abortionary attempt.
If he can’t find white republicans in a
colinty—and we are proud to say that
the country round about ’ Athens is free
from sbeb nattle—let him import enum
erators. No one cares who Bowers se
lects,’jusi so he keeps bis black politi
cal chums out of bur doors.
LAID TO REST.
Mrs. Burnle McCurdy’s Funeral and
Burial on Sunday Last.
At four o'clock on Sunday last, at the
resilience of Mr. John N. Booth tiio
funeral of Mrs. Burney McCurdy was
conducted.
I'lic bouse was crowded with scores-of
jnends of the deceased as well as of the
bereaved, and it was indeed a most s
'■mu and impressive funeral. Rev. C. p.
Campbell conducted the ceremonies as
sisted by Rev. W. D. Andersou. The
singing was especially sweet and im-
l'i issive, and many times during the
proceeding of the last solemn rites to
Hie dead, tears filled the eyes of those

DR. RUSH’S STATEMENT.
Dr. Rush has for some time been a
druggist in Brunswick, and is now on a
visit to Athens. He was seen yesterday
and said in regard to his difficulty with
Dr. Lowry.
“1 have neard ever since I have been
in Brunswick that Dr. Lowry had ex
pressed his resolution to take mv lifo
when the occasion offered itself. When
I came to Athens a few days since, 1
came to open business here. Yesterday
I met Dr. Lowry on the street and after
talking with lii:n about the cause of his
threats I found that he was armed and
was anxious to fight. 1 had no pisto
and went into Stern & Dorsey’s furni
ture store simply to avoid.a difficulty
with him. While I was m the store
Lowry paraded himself before the store
flourishing a pistol and declaring his in
tention to kill me if I came out. I re
mained in the store because I was anx
ious to avoid any difficulty with him
whatever.*’
AN EYE WITNESS TALA8.
One of the spectators of the difficulty
stated that he asked Dr. Rush why he
didn’t arm himself and fight it out, and
Dr. Rush replied that he had no money
with Which to buy a pistol. He states
that even after Policeman McKie
walked off with Dr. Rush, Dr. Lowry
pursued him until Mr. McKie bad to
order him to desist from going any
further, as he had Dr. Rush in charge.
The affair is regretted by the many
friends of both parties, and it is hoped
that it will be dropped without further
trouble.

Our grand jury'is this -week-after the

Mr. Tip Harrison, the Governor’s
Secretary, says that he is constantly re
ceiving applications for pensions, when
there is no ground for them whatever
Doctors in some of our towns make a
specialty of getting up these pensions,
and if they see a man limping along the
street will goto him and ask him if he
wa9 not in the war, and if answered in
the affirmative, will go to work to get
him a pension. The .-fflcials also have
a great deal «>f trouble with ignorant
attorneys who do not know how to make
out the applications, or if they do, fail
to follow the advice given on the back
of the application; He says it is a hard
matter to keep/ from being imposed ou
