• ’ ' ’' - - * - THE ATHES A WARNING TO MR. OUVE. And Nt wLtti cotuiTy—tile home of Commissioner Henderson—has gone for Ninbclt in a primmy election. This seals Henderson's chances for re-election. A man wlio.is. reimciU atecl by his friends and neighbors must not look to strangers for vindi cation. Before the primary. Col. Hender son seemed even stronger in Newton j than Mr, Olive in Oglethorpe : and ' yet, when he had to face the ballots of the men who kne.w him, he went down. It was a wise thing for Mr. Olive that he took time by the forelock, and received an endorsement at a mass meeting. Doubtless Commis* sioner Henderson could have done the same : but when an unpopular candidate knows that he ip in danger of being black balled by cold bals ots, he will every time seek a now cut. It has been publicly and openly charged that Mr. J. T. Olive is not the choice of his own people, as ^he ballots will show, if a primary is al lowed. It seems to us, that if he is so overwhelmingly confident of his strength, this gentleman should have gone before his people—as Judge Lawson has done and Mr. Colley will do—and let the demo cratic voters decide the matter by primary election. His opponents did this, and it is not right that Mr. Olive should take advantages that arc denied the others. bait to capture the Alliance vote. F ir Mr. Olive to carry Clarke county will be no rebuke to The Banner editor, but rather an en dorsement of what we have written about candidate Olive—that he is not in full sympathy and fellowship with the farmer. The Alliance vote in Clarke is only about one in five. T, L. NNER: TUESDAY' MOKKINO- JULY 18m ARD B. RUSSELL. This is a commercial and manufac turing, and not an agricultural coun ty. To carry’ it for Olive would ! challenge, and make myself a party in simply show that be is supported by the very clement that the Alliance is organized to combat. But we have no fear of the result. While we know that our light for the Alliance and the Sub-Treasury hill is generally disapproved in the city, at the same time there are enough fair-minded and honorable men in Athens to defeat such under handed warfare. But it matters not if the whole world is against us, we know our course is right, and that we will finally’ triumph. If every man in Athens WA3 against us we would still stand by* our convictions. We have ever been a friend to the farini- or, and will fight his battles if we muster it single-handed and alone We have cast our anchor in the hearts and confidence of the Alliance of Georgia, and will sink or swim, survive or perish, with that gr and noble organization. The harder our enemies fight us, only nerves us for resistance. We ask neither ollice or reward, but are tor the farmers and with the farmers. REPLY TO RICH- j at the instiiuee of a, umtural friend* That reeoncilliation was from my heart, for f do not extend a man my hand in friendship while I have gall in my heart. Sometime after this reconciliation, I had occasion to render Solicitor-Gener al Russell assistance for which bo ex pressed his deepest gratitude. He was attacked by the editoi of the Oconee Enterprise for compromising a felony. I believed at that time, and I still be lieve, that he was unjustly accused, as he had only followed the precedent of other officers. The readers of the j Banner well know that I used the col umns of my paper for weeks in his vin- dieatii«, and accepted abuse in his cause almost as vile a? he now showers upon me. The next step Mr. Russell took was to start the Evening Ledger in opposition to the paper of which 1 am editor. Hi told me at the time, that he wanted us to work together in peace and liarmo- In the Evening Ledger of last even ing. Richard B. Russell, one of the proprietors of that paper, has seen fit to make a brutal and personal attack upon myself. There are but three re plies to this article: To go through the farce following a IF MR- OLIVE CARRIES CLARKE COUNTY. If Clarke county goes for Olive— as a certain coalition has decided* that it must do—it will be a glorious vindication of The Banner editor and his declarations. It will show that while Mr. Olive i9 making Sub- Treasury bids for the Alliance votes in the country, that he has coalesced with the very men in Athens who arc fighting us because we upheld the standard of the Alliance, and demanded their rights, in the face of the most powerful influences. There are only a few Alliancemen in this county, while the overwhelming vote is against the farmers and the Sub- Treasury bill. But if every county- in the 8th district voted against us, wa would continue the fight for the Alliance and their interests, just as hard as we are now waging. An Allianceman from Oglethorpe county writes us : I suppose you have heard of the proceedings of the Lexington meeting that endorsed Olive for congress. The whole crowd was counted for Olive, when, in fact, fully one-third of those present were opposed to him. He dared not go before a primary of the democratic voters of his own county.” Anarchy docs not yet reign in the Eighth district, where men are gar roted for expressing their honest convictions about a candidate for office. The people of Athens know what we have doue for the success of out- party’ and the upbuilding of our city. WHO WAS IT? A Skeleton Unearthed Yesterday In Athens. We have positive information that there has been one of the most infa mous coalitions ever made, bow forming against the editor of this paper. In due season we will ex pose the whole matter, and denounce its authors from one end of the dis trict to the other. We are ready for any manner of warfare that Mr. Olive and his friends desire. We have conducted the campaign iu a courteous and dignified manner. We care nothing for idle threats, knowing that they emanate from only a few loud-mouth ed individuals. ■—■———^m f Mr. Olive’s friends claim that he has been endorsed three times by the democrats of Oglethorpe county. A perfect skeleton was unearthed yes terday near the upper bridge. Anri one which seems to have beloged in the body of some well-to-do person. It was unearthed by the hands of Dr. Lyndon on the place of Mr. Ed. Pitt man about one hundred yards from the upper bridge. They were hauling sand from that place, and while one was ploughing, the sand was torn away front side, showing the white bones of something. Investigating immediately, to their horror, there lay a perfect skeleton of a human being, with every bone in place and grinning at them showing two ul- moiit entire rows of white teeth. On the third linger of the left hand a glittered a gold ring. What tale could it tell? -rhe body was only about six inches under the surface, and appeared to have been the body of some one dead about ten years. w as he some victim of a murderer '? Was he some poor fellow tired of life and ending it in the turbid waters of the Oconee ? Who can tell ? Let the citizens rack their brains and see if they cannot recall to mind some mysterious disappearance of years ago. The skeleton was left as it was found save the jaw bones which were taken olf by : orne one. GETTING INTO LINE. The Banks County Guards In the Front. The election of Hon. M. I,. McDon ald to the Legislature from Banks county is a just tribute to the notorious Banks County Guards, of which ?om- pany he was a member and a good one, a redIculous spectacle for the amuse ment of the people. This course I am ] unwilling to take for more than one reason. Dueling is a violation of the laws of my state and 1 try to be a law abiding citizen. Again, I have a dependent and - help, ess family upon my hands—including an afllietcd child—that demands ipy time and mybare. Were I to lose my life there is no one to provide for my dependent little ones. On the other hand, Russell is a single man, without a care or responsibility, and bis death would only leave an aching void m the hearts of bis relatives, who are-in no manner dependent upon him for a live lihood. Second, My next course would be to meet Mr. Russell upon the street, and ngage in a personal difficulty. The same reasons that are above giveu for not resorting to the code duello, forbid me resorting to this measure. Third, My other resource is to give the fair minded people of this city and section, who kiiow me and my accuser, a truthful history of the trouble be tween Richard B. Russell and inyself; and then notifj’ the gentleman that if lie is not satisfied, I will be on tlie streets of Aihens tue greater part, of the day, and he can seek me and receive sneh satisfaction as he desires. I hifve uever been accused of coward ice; but at tlie same time, I have avoided difficulties. My first acquaintance with Richard B. Russell was when I came to Ath ens, and, at the request of the organised democracy of the Oth. district, led the opposition to Emory Speer, the inde pendent candidate for Congress. Rus sell had at that time just reached hi majority. But with that inordinate ambition and thirst for office that has ever characterized him, he eeearne candidate for the legislature. The w hole strength of my party was center ed upon electing Col. Candler, the reg alar nominee, and therefore Russell had no opposition for the legislature But in those dark and trying days, while Russell was appealed to assi.-t in tiie election of Coi. Camller, he re fused to raise, his voice, and it was gen erally understood that he voted for Emory Speer. At the next election, Russell had no opposition, as tlve Democratic party of Clarke county was not organized at the time, anil they knew it was lolly to try and defeat Russell, who Inulpthc negro vote at hik back. Hon. II. Hi Carlton was at the same time a candidate for the State Senate, and in Russell’s aux- iety and ainbitiou to lead the ticket, he had secretly printed a lot of ballots with only liis own name thereon, and the names of all the other nominees of the Democratic party, from State Senator to Governor, omitted. These tickets lie placed in the hands of Eugene Brydie and other of his negro henchmen, with instructions to have them secretly voted for him. Dr. Carlton discovered this trick late in the day, and upon our peo ple hearing of it, their indignation was so great that an organized movement was made, and Russell’s name stricken oil of a great number of tickets—thus defeating his ambitious scheme, and placing him at the tail end of tj^e list of rage upon our city. I have villitled the “fair names” of those insolent blacks who were kicking white ladies and' children from our sidewalks, and against the expose of which shameful outrage tbe Ledger raised sucb a pitte- ous whine. I have viliifieil toe “fa r name”of those white scalawags, radicn s aud renegades who were conspiring to place black heels on white necks. But no true and loyal democrat can ever say that I have viliifieil his “fair name/’ If Mr. Russell accuses me of slandering him, ho can but be catalogued in this last list. I have no desire or ambition to climb into office or power through Mr. Colley or any other man. It is Mr. Russell who resorted to such tactics when he climbed into bis present office over the shoulders of Mr. II. C. Tuck. i do not claim nor desire to be the dictator of Clarke county, as Russell charges; but I do claim to beademo- ny—to which proposition I most hearti- erat tothecure, and if 1 am overthrown ly consented. The Ledger was a financial failure from the beginning, and Russell lost heavily by-his venture. Ho came to our business manager for the Banner’s advertising rates, which we gave him, expecting that lie would be guided by them; but he used our confidence to underbid as on work. For weeks past the readers of both tlis Banner and the Ledger will bear me out iu the assertion that Russell has been persistently trying to get up a con troversy with me which I studiously avoided, well knowing how such paper wars generally end When 1 saw fit to oppose Mr. Olivo for Congress, Russell’s paper gradually took sides with Mr. Olive, although Russell was pledged to Judge Lawson, and was under personal obligations to him. Every intelligent man will at once see that it was not zeal for Olive that made Russell and his paper espouse his cause, but a desire to take sides against the Banner. Mr. Olive claimed to be for the sub-treasury bill, which measure Lussell and his paper bitterly fought. There is neither sympathy nor affiilia- • n my county, it will be the overthrow of as loyal aud true a democrat as over voted. Mr. Russell says he has been great ly honored by the people of Clarke county. 11c has not. been honored by tho people of Clarke county since Dr. E. S. Lyn don Jiad the courage anil manhood to rule out the negro vote. The only hon or he has received since this political reform was by proxey, through Hon. II. C. Tuck. Mr. Russell refers to the fact that 1 feasted on the Federal government. This is true, but it was under a Demo cratic Federal government. I had sac rificed my health by confining work for my party, and only asked the pittiful little ofiiee that I might have active out door exercise. Russell accuses me of lobbying against the people in the last Legislature. I de fy him, or auy other man, to show where I have received one dollar for ad vocating any cause or man.

We know we have the farmers on our side, and in the hearts of the yeomanry of our land there is always a safe anchorage. ~ F ICHTINC THE SUB-TREASURY BILL A friend in Athens—who is one of our largest merchants—stated to us that we had built up strong ene mies in Athens by our support of the Alliance and the Sub-Treasury bill, and he believed there would, in all probability, be a coalition be<- tween the Olive supporters and the antinSub-Treasury men in Clarke to carry the county for Olive, and thus rebuke us.

Special by News Telegram Association. Dallas, Texas, July 25.—Congress man Roger Q. Mills in an interview last night on the, boycotting of the north suggested by the Atlanta Constitution and endorsed by Gen. Gordon should the force bill become a law, said “it would not only be a folly but a criminal folly to attempt such a project. It would injure us as much as the north, and iho merchants and business men of the south should eouie out and de nounce it.” Every business man in Dallas seen; on tho subject, with one ex ception, shares this view. This Beats the Record- Tennille Enterprise: The children of Mr. G. W. Meadows, of Harrison, have four living grrat-granuinothers and two living grand mothers- The youngest great-grandmother is 78, while the oldest is 92; the youngest grandmother is 55 and the oldest 58. There is a peculiarity connected with the life of these oldest grandmothers, and that is that each of them have had their right, arms broken. This beats any living record that we «»ye heard candidates. Russell was returned to the Legisla ture the third time without opposition —for he had pandered to the negro vote to such an extent that my party knew it would be folly to attempt to defeat him with the white votes. While a member of the Legislature, Russell used the six years of his term to build up a support for the office of Solicitor General—making all manbet of trades and combinations to. accom plish this end. For the fourth term his friend, Mr. H. C. Tuck, made the race in liis interests; and this time, Dr. E. S. Lyndon culled a nomination by tho Democratic papy. Mr. Tuck was opposed by Mr. Miell, who represented Mr. E. T. Brown’s candidady for Solicitor General, supported Mr. Mcll, because most of iny friends were on that side. I had no personal feelings against Mr. Tuck, un til lie took occasion, at - the instance, I believe, of other parties, to personate me upon the stump. Mr. Russell could not have received the nomination be fore the white voters of his county, and no one knows it better than himself Mr. Tuck had an extensive relationship, and was exceedingly popular over the county. He was a brilliant cam paign speaker, and was elected. Rus s *11 gloats over this fact as a defeat of myself. I .was not the editor of a: y paper at that time, and was only’ voter. He had a packed legislature at his back, and although repudiated by every other county in his judicial circuit, was elected Solicitor-General. j His first act after receiving office was to get Mr. Tuck to introduce A bill hold ing the tax-payers of CWYke'/county responsible for all of his (Russell’s) in solvent costs. This attempted robbery of my county and my people Present ed with all the power at my command, and made Mr. Tuck withdraw his Rus sell bill under fire.

Being tbe most ancient, it is the most general of all diseases or afflictions, for very few persons are entirely free from it. How Can It Be By taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which, by the remarkable cores it has accomplished, often when other medicines have failed, has proven itself to be a potent and peculiar medicine for this disease. Some of thdso cures are reaBy wonderful. If you suffer from scrofula, be sure to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. “My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof ulous sore neck from the time she was 22 months old till she became six years of ago.
