THE WAN*M*KE* BOYCOTT suc
cessful.
The Banker editor yesterday re
ceived a letter from Hood, Bonbright
& Co., of Philadelphia, elating that
j,,hn Wanamakcr was no longer con
nected with llieir house, and that it
would hen after be known as Hood,
Koulkrod »fc Co.
Several weeks ago we published a
di-patch slating that since the Ath
ens boycott was declared against the
business of the Postmaster-General,
tiittl his Philadelphia house had lost
marly all of its Southern trade, and
his pHrlners demanded that he wilb-
diaw from the firm, or they had as
well go out of business.
Tnis le.ter confirms this dispatch,
ami shows that as much ns certain
parties ridiculed our boycott when
j'. was tiisl declared, that it was tri
umphant.
Wuhaiuaker had a great pride in
his business, and it is u sore cisap
p..iniinent to him lobe forced to re

from the SoihIi, aud of ibis he lost

■ pirstion of whether Wanainaker r« -

This boycott should teach a less
s ui to Yankee politicians, who ate
insulting and persecuting our pec »
pie, and at the same time asking
their patronage.
While Wanamaker is a rich man,
a dollar is as dear to him as any one,
and he had devoted his life to build

was ejected at the toe of the Athens

not only imperilling our own pros

ouae a cause, we do not count costs,
but cast our all and our future iu the
scale.
one can accuse us of taking'ip
the Alliance fight for the sake of
individual gaiu or promotion. We
could have been elected to congress
on the Sub-Treasury issue, but knew
such a step would have weakened
our fight for the Alliance. We are

THE BANNER EDITOR AND THE AL
LIANCE.
It is certainly gratifying to the
editor of this paper to receive such
words ot endorsement and thanks as
the Alliance of the various counties
!»i>- sending us. This week the Alii-*
uime convention that met in Carnea-
ville, passed a set of resolutions that
me indeed appreciated.
We say to our farmer friend?, we
Me are enlisted with you heart and
soul, aud do not iuteud to relax our
elfoit unt l your great victory is won.
We know we have the combined eap-
i'al and power of the world to com
bat, but our cause is just, and it
Mill eventually triumph.
We are not espousing the cause of
the Alliance for the sake of cither
guin or ollice ; but* we are only
prompted by a desire to place the
farmers of our |laDd in a position
mIi, re they can successfully compete
Midi the world and control the fruits
ot their honest toil. This end can
only lie accomplished through the
passage of the Sub.Treasury bill.
Already the political skies are
brii'htening, and tbe old scheming
politicians, that have for so long
ruled the farmers with an iron rod,
now trembling before the onward
march of the Alliance.
Maik this prediction : Next fall
Georgia will elect a Governor, a leg*

More than one ambitious candidate

We only ask tbe Alliance to stand
ty us in our tight. We ars single

teauli.
We do not ask either your votes or
.Vour patronage. We want no office

bility mxt year wdl find our lot cast
iu a distant State. But if we can
furry with us the confidence and
friendship of the farmers of tbia sec*
li‘»u of Georgia, and feel that we
have helped them to lift from their
hack* the burthen that has so long
crushed them into poverty, our la
bor will not be in vain.
Our fight for tbe Alliance and the
Sub.Treasury bill has built us up

done so.

around the expounder a crowd may *1-
wavs be seen, drinking iu bis'words,
and apparently in deep perplexity as to
which way to vote.
The confidence exhibited by each can
didate is something wonderful, and if
this is not assumed, all but one are
iHiiiud to have a decided drop from the
exalted feeling of being Clarke's next
representative.
Yesterday morning a ripple of excite
ment was created by the meeting of a
number of citizens, who it was said,
would centre on one of the candidates
as the standard bearer fc,r the prohibi
tion party.
The idea was to decide on this one,
«nd the others wlio used die same plank
iu their platform would withdraw, t>
as not to divide tho vole. Nothing
came of this meeting, however, and the
race remains the same.
Last night Mr. Cobb spoke in front
of tbe University Bank on a platform
erected for the purpose. A large crowd
of citizens and some from the country
were present.
Wheu Mr. Cobh finished, the crowd
called on others, and speeches were
made by Mr. Mell, Col. Gantt and Mr.
England.
On Saturday evening last the Baxnek
editor, with a party of lady friends, vis
ited Tallulah Falls, for the first time in
two years. \\ e embarked on the North-
Eastern train at 5 o’clock, and 10 o’clock
found us at the Falls—the Niagara or
tin* South.
We registered at the Grand View
Hotel, kept bv our friends. Mr. and
Mrs. W. D. Young. This hotel has
been completed since our last visit to
Tallulah, and is certainly a great at
traction to the place.

of observatories, where magnificent

Connected with tue hotel is a large
bathing pool, ten pin alley, and other
sources of amusement for the guests.
Mr. Young t as also discovered a tine
mineral spring near his hotel that he
lias beautifully improved, and it prov< s
quite an addition to tho attractions as
Tallulah. Every afternoon the guestt
from all the hotels congregate there.
Mr. Young is now having plans drawn
for a third hotel, that will be built on
the brink of the Grand Chasm, and it
will he one of the finest in the South.
He estimates that this hotel, with im
provements on the grounds, will cost
$200,000.
Mr. Young is trying to interest Mr.
Flagler, proprietor of the Ponce de
Leon, at St. Augustine, in tbe develop

There are two other excellent hotels

THE INJUNCTION CASE.
At the Northeastern Depot.
The mineral spring at the Northeast-
depot is in a terrible condition, and
should be fixed up at once.
This spring ha* been, and is, one of
the most popular objective points of
walks taken by our citizens, and its wa
ter aids many a suffering Athenian m
regaining health. It is really a mineral
spring, and possesses ingredients which
by analyses, show it to lie one of the
best in existence. That it has wonder
ful curative properties is vouched for
by hundreds who have tested its merit,
and that this curative power should be
present is shown by its analysis.
Many still go to this place, and drink
its water, but they do so at great incon
venience and trouble, and many are de
barred from enjoying its blessings on
this ac ount.
Then let the walks leading to it tie
leveled, and the surroundings of the
spring put is shape, and the spring it
self cleaned out and put into an access-
able shape.
Many of our citizens have requested
this to be done, an 1 we hope it will be
carried out at once.
THE MINERAL SPRING
Attalnst Athens Decided by the Su-«
preme Court Yesterday.-
The injunction case against the city
of Athens, filed by Judge Speer et^ ah,
was decided in favor of the city l»v**he
Supreme Court yesterday.
The injunction was against the city
for laying brick pavements, and assess
ing the citizens in front of whose houses
it passed, to pay for them. A test case
was made by Judge Speer and others 4
and was decided for the city by Judge
Hutchins. It was carried to the Su
preme court and Judge Hutchin’s de
cision was sustained. This case has at
tracted great attention in Athens for
the past three months. The city will
no doubt resume the work of laying
br.ck pavements at once.

A HORRIBLE DEATH.
A Negro Dies of Hydrophobla-HIs
Wife Apt to Follow Him.
Special by New* Telegram Association.
Amkricus, Ga., July 12.—Three
weeks ago, Jim Davis, a negro farm la
borer, -was attacked by a vicious dog.
The animal threw him to the earth and
seized him by the cheek and lacerated
him badly on one side of his face.
Shortly afterward the animal died in
spasms and it is supposed to be due to
hydrophobia. A mad stone was applied
to Davis but it failed to operate. The
negro became sullen and early in the
week assaulted his wife in a fit of rage.
He bit heis badly before aid arrived.
He was closely guarded. His spells of
madness became more frequent anu
more violent. On Friday he tlied and
his wife’s condition is precarious.

Pakis, July 12.—M. Paul Clifford,
French scientist, has diseotered a new
propulsive force which may.revolution-

Three hundred drops of this compound
are contained in asm-all steel receptacle
under the rifle barrel, and each time the
trigger is pulled one drop fall* into the
breech behind the bullet. Contact with
the air causes tni* drop to volatilije in

far exceeding that of gunpowder, and
which expels the bullet with terrible
velocity, accompanied by neither noise

‘THE ALLIANCE AND THE DE
MOCRACY.”
There is a great deal of gush through
out the laud about the likelihood of the
Alliance breaking up the Democratic
party, and there is some talk about a
new party being formed. The truth of
the matter is, the farmers are just be
ginning to enquire into the genuine
principles of Jeffersonian Democracy,
and the more they learn about it the
more they love and admire it. Uutil
recently the common people have en
trusted the carrying out of Democratic
principles to a favored few about the
towns and cities, who professed u> know
all about bow to manage the institu
tion. They have looked upou Democ
racy as a purely Southern and sectional
institution, and for that reason alone
was entitled to their respect and allepi-
anee. That whenever they put in a
vote they killed some Yankee’s vote,
and to that exteut were instrumental in
breakin down tbe party of our natural
born enemies. This argument was put
first and foremost by the pap-suckers
of the party to divert the minds of tne
masses from the multitudinous short
comings of our representatives in car
rying. forward the Democratic plans
and principles.
The fires of prejudice have been kept
burning niglit ami day in tbe democrat
ic camp so that the people would be so
blinded against their be«t interests that
they would make no inquiry into the
whys and the wherefores, but just go
along obeying the mandates of the pro
fess! >nal politicians and court house
rings who never thought it necessary to
explain anything to the.wool hat crowd
‘n country, farther than to say just go
ahead boys with your honest hard work,
we will take care of the grand old party
in the spring aud summer, and look
after your Interest then if you will take
care of us when the “my dear fellow
citizens” time comes in the fall and
winter.
Tbe farmer seeing these healthy ex
ponents of the democracy actually ma
terialized iuto flesh and blood and wear
ing clothes (only better ones) just like
our own home folks, aud looking so
pleasing natural like, that they are cap
tured soul aud body, and jttien and
there promise to stick to the flow and
let politics alone uutil election day.
The idea heretofore has seemed to
prevail among the average country
man that the democratic par
ty revolved In a small
select circle around the dome of the na
tions capital being, lying and situat«d
in the District of Columbia; preshhd
over by the spectral form of the last
and lameuted Thomas Jefferson, o
honored memory. A great, grand
something that‘makes stated visits
down South through her authorized
agents lawyers, cougre«smen, after the
manner of Santa Claus at Xmas times,
bringing some nice little goodies along
and promising to rome again a id do a
little better for us if we will be good
boys, vote right, and stand firm to the
resolutions they make for us to keep
out of politics and not meddle with cer
tain sharp-edge tool* that will cut any
body to pieces that don’t know how to
handle them.
Somehow within the last year or so
the common people have been applying
themselves more diligently with stuJy
of economic questions. The .Democrat
ic guide book has been placed iuto their
baDds. Some few ot them have peeped
into the dictionary and they have let
out the secret that Democracy means
Government by the people,” not by
the politicians, the rings and the
cliques, but by tbe people. By looking
into history a little we find that Democ
racy i« a time honored institution. In
Greece it was understood to mean a
commonwealth so constituted that tbe
power was exercised by the body
of the citizens, and not by individuals
or a dominant caste. The exclusion of
the poorer class of citizens fr..m hold
ing office under tlie Solonian constitu
tion at Athens was considered iucon-
sistant with the nature of democracy.
Democracy in this our native land
seems to have been under the exclu
sive control of a few monied kings and
the ringsters who have manipulated the
government affairs to redound only to
their own benefit and against the inter
est of the people Democracy is that
form of government where the many
govern to the common benefit.
That is the kind of government we
want and must have. To accomplish
this end we must drive out tbe money
changers and reduce the ringsters to
ranks. This we are bound to do. If
this is what some people call breaking
up the democratic party you may con
sider it broken up now. But we love
the democracy too well to allow this
state of affairs to continue. We will
not interfere with the principles of the
party. We shall only purge it of all
bad men if possible and start anew for
the kingdom.
The Alliance as an order does not be
long to any particular party. In the
northwestern states a majority of Alii
ancemen may be republicans,
but in tbe southern states
not only is there a large democratic ma
jority, but most of that majority are
members of tbe Alliance, and, of course,
tbe Alliance of Georgia are mostly the
democratic party of the State. If the
Alliancemen of Georgia are not its de
mocracy who are tbe democrats?
As tiie bouthern Alliance Fanner
savs: Because, as Alliancemen, we
want to see certain legislation which
tbe < rder in the West favors, who are
republicans, is no reason that as true
democrats we can not favor the same
measures. It i. contemptabie for cer
tain papers and politicians to make
fight on this account, and the farmers
see it. Let them go on with their op
position to tbe Alliance if tbey see
proper. They will surely fiud that their
very opposition to the Alliance has
strengthened our cause *o much that it
will grow beyond their influence ’
entirely beyond their reaeb.
The people are beginning to recognize
tbe fact that the country is uuder no
further obligations to the politicians
and they propose to take it and ran
for the mutual benefit of all classes or
know the reason why. One thing is
certain, and that is they caunuot make
a greater failure than politician* have
t oae.

THE TIME TO BE PLEASANT..
“Mother’s cro*.«,” said Mxggie, coming
out iuto tbe kiicben with a pout on her
lips
Her aunt was busy Ironing, and she
looked up and answered Maggie.
** liirn is the very litne for you to be
pleasant and helpful. Mother was awake
a good deal of the night wi h the poor
baby.”
Maggie made no reply she pul on her
hat and wa ked off into tne garden. But
a new idea weui with her—"The very
rime to be pie,Haul is when other people
are cross.”
“l>ue enough,” thought she, -“that
would do the mo>t good. I remember
when I wa* ill last year, was ho nervous
that If anyone spoke lo me I could hardly
help being cio*a; oud ino her n* ver got
cross nr out ot ptlience, but was quite
pleasant with uic. I *.u*ht tojiay it hack
now, and l will.”
And sli. jumped up from the grass 'on
which she imd thrown herself, ami turned
a face full of c .eertul resolution lowku’.s

“Couldn’t I take him out io ride in liis
earl ia**e, inntuer ? It isjsuch a sunny morn
ing,” she a*ked.
The hat aud cost wei. btcuglit, and the
baby was soon ready for bis r de.
*Tli keep huu as long as be’s good,” said
Maggie, “and you must he uu the sofa and
lake a nap while 1 am g >ne. You ate
looking dreadfully tired."
Tire kind words and the k s* that ncconi-
panu-d them weie almost too much, for the
mother, and her voice trembled a* she
auswered:
"Thank you, dear; it will do me a world
•>f good. My head actus badly tbia uu ru
ing.”
Wliat a happy heart Maggie’s was as she
tu:ned the carriage up aud dowu the
walk! She n solved to lenitmbtr aud act
on her aunt’s good woids:

“Wouldn't a little bird look funny If he
di I n’t have any wingo?” said Puss. Him
ai d Johnny were sitting on the porch
watching some robins. The robins were
hunting Worm* in the gr-ss neur the porch.
“A bird wouldn’t be a bird it he did uo
h*v« wings.” cried Johnny.
‘Oh,yes it would," sa d Uncle Ered.
Tueir Uncle was titling in a large chair
■tear, reading bu paper, lie had heard
what tin y said.
"1 can tell you shout a bml that Ims
neitlter wings nor tail,” went on Uncle
Fred.
“O Uncle Frail, you never re illy saw a
bird like that!" cried Puss.
“I ide< d l did,” n poe l her uncle. ”1

laud. It is called the Kiw-lvtwi, or
apteryx,sod Ua v*r> queer l.i.d, imh-d.

“It make* to* laugh to hear about it,”
sa d JoUpoy:
* How lmgT i* it?" foki d Pups.
•‘AImuI us large as a full-grown hen,”

of a lower orriet is allowed to wear oae.”
"Tbe kiwi-kiwi has a very long beak.
When it is resting it pfitsits t*cak down on
the ground Then it looks like a ball on
Itaree legs.
“The bird Is a fast runner, and Hie ha-
iv* pursue him at night with speera and
lurches.”
“It does not move about much in the
day-time. It is a night bird It lives ot-
'Worins, and uses its long hill to dig them
out of the ground.”
“And don’t it really have any wings nr
tail S’* asked Johnny. He could not quite
believe a bird cuulu live without wings or '
tail." ;j . . t
‘‘No," paid Uucle Fred, “hardly a sign
of either.”
My. but it* a queer bird,” said Johnny,
and Puss thought *o too —Our Little Ones.
