THE ATHENS BANNER TUESDAY MORNING. AUGUST i*. 1890. INIQUITIES OF THE FORCE BILL. No man of average honesty and intelligence, says the Indianapolis Herald, who will take the trouble to lead the Force hill through cure fully, will Imrhor even a suspicion that it was drawn io the interest of liontst elections. Some of the defenders of this pro* jecl of iniquity have laid great stress upon the provision which requites that the three supervisors of elec tions “shall not lie uU of the same political party.” This clause is pointed to as evidence of the non partisan character of the hill. In point of fact it amounts to nothing. With two out of the three members in every board of supervisors the le- publicans will have control just the same as if all the members were re* publicans. It will be the old 8 to 7 game over again. And then the third man need not be a democrat. A ‘prohibitionist’ or a ‘grcenbacker,’ will meet the requirements of the bill, and whenever s democrat is ap pointed it will no doubt bo one whose democracy is not skin deep. The bill provides that the chief supervisor may have power “to trans fer at any time any supervisor from duty in one district to another in the same city, or county, or district.” The purpose of this is clear. “ A knavish supervisor might be so well known in his own election division that he could not perform efficient service to his employer for fear of being watched by suspicious neigh bors aDd punished for any wrong* doing. But by transferring him to n remote election division in which he would cot be known he might be able to serve his masters more ef fectively.” As the Philadelphia Res cord says : “A careful examination of this nefarious scheme will show that nothing is wanting in it for the purpose of facilitating and protect* iug from punishment official frauds on the ballot-box in the interest of the party controlling the machine.' 4 % * % : #vj * * •li ft KEMMLER’S EXECUTION. The execution of Kemmler by electricity in Auburn Wednesday is reported as having been a most bru tal affair, though the victim received no pain. The trouble seems to have been due to the inexperience of the watden, who did not understand the workings of the apparatus perfectly Doing away with the old custom of hanging and adopting that of ex ecution by electricity has met with the greatest opposition in New York, and up to the last minute it was thought that the powerful eflorls made to save Kemmler would be suc cessful. This opposition is a strange thing, and can only he due to the mysterious dread people have of the electric fluid. While the first trial is reported as barbarous, the affair is apt to have been greatly exaggerated, and even if not, the doctors present say that the victim felt no pain after the first shock. If this bo true, why was it brutal ? If the first shock rendered him insensible to pain and uncon scious, it was a thousand times bet ter than hundreds of cases of slrun* gulation by hanging. In our opinion hanging is as barbarous a method of putting to death as is possible with out torture, and the new custom should be given a fair chance to prove its superiority. The first trial has been watched by the world, and the public preju diced against it, hence the sensa tional newspaper account of it Every day we hear of some hanging where the victim slowly strangled to ucutb with horrible gasps and con vulsive movements, lasting some*, times for many minutes, and the the account of the electricul execu tion, greatly exaggerated as it no doubt was, cannot compare in brus tality to it. COTTON MILLS AND OTHER ENTER PRISES- The day is not far distant when Athens, with the fine water-powers wilhiu her borders and in the im mediate vicinity, will be a leading Southern manufacturing centre. Al ready within the corporate city lim its, and within four miles of the Court-house, there are ihree or four of the staunchest companies in the State, with mills in the high tide of successful operation. The Alliens M'f’g Co., for many years has been in a most prosperous condition, and will continue so under the present efficient management. The same re mark is true of Georgia Factory, the old pioneer mill of the Stale. Under the present management, Princeton will not only maiutain its higli standard for good work, but will surpass it. It seems to be the purpose of our manufacturers to Introduce into their mills all the late improved machinery, and this with the skilled labor in their employ, will enable them to coui|>elo with anv like concerns in the State. In a talk with Mr. Bloomfield not long since, he iuformetl us that the new mill recently erected at Barnett Shoals, teft miles below the city, would be put in operation the com ing fall. This factory will start out with the most improved ma chinery, and will soon he, no doubt, ranked as one of the most prosperous cotton mills in the State. rhero are other old established in dustries—as the Paper Mill, Bobbin Mill, &c.—which have made a good record in the pa9t, and which will continue to increase in value and usefulness. All these enterprises are in ex cellent condition. Each factory has a thriving, happy population, of from three to five hundred. With the hum of many thousands of spindles now being run by busy hands, and the certainty that other and varied enterprises will soon be started up, is but one of the many indications of the grand prosperity which awaits the people of North east Georgia. With factories, foun dries, mills, and all sorts of indus tries dotting the hillsides and val leys, Athens with her railroads now running, and those soon to be com pleted, will hecomethe metropolis of a populous and rapidly growing manufacturing section. OVER THE CITY The race for the Legislature in Floyd county is attracting a great ‘deal of attention. Besides the three ‘.regular democratic nominees, three .other candidates have come out, and according to reports from Rome, two of tae latter are sure of election. Capt. Seay, one of them, is one of Ihe Hill City’s most prominent and influential citizens, and the vote in the city will be overwhelmingly for /him. Capt. Turner, the other, has 'held a seat in the Legislature for years, and it looks os if he will lie returned to the Capitol next fall. it Blaine is said te be flirting with £l)e Farmer’s Alliance, However, this body is too sensible to pay any Attention to the Plumed Knight, and bis little game won’t work. m- ? The Constitution's elephant will lie kept from the sight of Atlantaans until the parade on the 16tb. We suggest that “ Uncle Remus” Harris and F. Longfellow Stanton be depu ted to act as drivers. TWO STATE ELECTIONS- The course of the Republican par ty in congress, says the Courier- Journal, has thoroughly solidified the Democrat c party, if wo may judge by the elections held in Ala bama and in Kentucky on Monday last. Reports from Alabama show in creased democratic majorities from all sections, with the Republicans controlling scarcely a county in the State. In Kentucky the Democratic roa« jority is far ahead of anything known in recent years. The majority for Gen. Buckner three yearn ago is in creased 125 per cent ; that given for Cleveland in 1888 is increased 50 per cent. Ereu rock-ribbed Repub lican counties, just now penetrated by railroads, join the Democratic ranks. These returns indicate the feeling aroused among the people by the revolutionary methods of the Repub lican leaders. Men who have never voted with the Democrats on any issue see that tLe Republican party is a sectional organization, ready to sacrifice every interest in the South to some temporary party necessity They see the hopelessness of trying to build up the- Republican paity in the face of such tactics, and so they cast in their lot with their neighbors and friends. This is the first response of the people to the challenge of Reed, Me Kiuley and Davenport. Now for the congressional elections. Another cigarette smoker is crazy is a sentence frequently seen in the newspapers. The cigarette causes a great deal of trouble. Many bright boys have been made gibbering idiots by the cigarette. The Philadelphia Press has bad a staff correspondent in Virginia and North Carolina interviewing leading republicans of both races regntding the force bill. Nearly all of them express themselves in strong terms against that measure. According to the St. Louis Repub lic, the South is developing her lum ber Interests very rapidly and al ready the busy scenes of the Michi gan and Wisconsin pine regions are being .reproduced in the yellow ipine forests of-the Southern States. It will not be long before Southern pine lumber will -hold all the markets east of the Rocky Mountains and Black Hills. Peaches.—A wagon from the country came in yesterday with peaches for salt. They brought $1.50 per bushel. This is lather steep, considering that last seuson at this period, peaches could be bought for twenty-five and thirty cents per bushel. The Crawford Herald.—The first issue of this paper, published at Craw ford, came to us to-day. It is a neat sheet, and we can hut wish it success and a long life. It is published in a live town, and in a large and splendid county. It is an eight-page six-column paper, and is published by a stock com pany. Mr. II. AuJerson, of South Car olina, is its editor. A Traveling Blind Tiger.—At the Sunday-school celebration at Bishop the other day, a negro was caught in the act of selling whiskey, and promptly nabbed. He had a big lot of it on hand, anil was very hold in dispensing it at a good price, considering the quality. NO HOUSES TO LET. SOME ATLANTA TALK. MR GANTT TELLS OF THE POLIT ICAL SITUATION. And Speaks of the Various Candidates —He Doesn’t Like tho Atlanta Wator--Made a Mash on Atlanta Mosquitoes. Athens Losing Citizens Because -of Them. Why don’t our capitalists seeking in vestment place some of their money in building houses? There is a dearth in houses to let, and many who desire to settle here are kept away by the fact that they cannot se cure houses. And not only homes, but store-houses cannot be gotten, and many are needed. J. II. Langford & Co., Athens’ new tailoring establishment, informs us that they have experienced the greatest dilliculty in securing houses for their workmen, and would bring several more here with families if houses could he gotten for them. They cannot build, and it is too expensive for them to board, and by the scarcity of houses to let they are prevented from coming here. It is the same way with many others who desire to settle in our midst, and while Athens is increasing rapidly in population, she could move along with much greater rapidity if we possessed loom for the incomers. There is no better paying investment than building houses, both for stores and homes, and we cannot understand when there is such a cry for them as is now, why the capitalists of our citj do not invest some of their money this way. MISS Ga’rMANY DEAD. The Sad News Reached Athens Yes terday. A telegram was received from Savan nah yesterday, telling the sad news of the de>th of one of gthat city’s fairest and most lovable daughters. She is one who spent the greater part of the last three years in our midst,and during that time her sweet nature and noble character endeared her to all who came in contact with her. She was one of the pupils of the Home School, and the ladies who have charge of that in stitution speak of her iu terms of the highest praise. Truly it is a pity that such a bright and beautiful character should be cut off at the time wlien just beginning to bloom into lovely womanhood, but He who does all things well knows best w hat should be done, and the many friends and relatives who mourn ner irreparable loss may and do find conso lation in he knowledge that she ha: flown to a better world and now rests quietly with loved ones goue before. BEHIND THE BARS. And She Is Very Anxious to Get Out. The other day a telegram was receiv ed in this city from Madison stating that one Sallie Hunter, who claims the Clas sic City as her home, had left that city with property in her possession which did not rightfully belong to her, and asked the officers of Athens to hold her in their grasp until a Madison officer could come for her. The woman in question is well-known in Athens police circles, and is a mulat to of no good repute. She had hardly arrived here from Madison before she was nabbed and put in the jug. Nothing more has been heard from Madison, and she wants to get out, hut there is an old score to settle between her and the city of Athens. A ease was made against her a few weeks ago, in company with several other women of like character for kick ing np a row. The others appeared at court, and were fined, but Sallie skip ped. For this she was fined, and until she pays it will remain in the lock-up. COUNTY POLITICS ALABAMA ALLIANCE. Louis Plat- TOUCHED UP0N,AND:S0METHING OF STUMP SPEAKING, Talk of Independents Entering the Race—Athens’ Platform Speakers. Repartee Mentioned. HIS FLOCK DON’T LIKE IT. The Negro Preacher, Lake Brown, In a Fix. The readers of the Banner will no doubt remember the scrape gotten into last winter by the notorious negro preacher, Lake Brown. Lake was the pastor of Athens’ church, and up to that time had held the respect and admiration of his con gregation. Last December, however, mutterings of discontent were heard, and the affair culminated in Brown being accused of fornication and adultery. He was tried in December last, found guilty of the charge and fined fifty dollars. The tine was paid, and nothing more was heard of tho hypocritical parson until yester day. it seems that lie has been in ebargeof a negro church in Lexington recently, and as he did here, held the respect of his flock. However, somebody told them of Brown’s Athens record, and discon 1 oat arose among bis followers. They have been investigating recent ly and finally brought charges against him. Among others was one referring to his Athens trouble,(and this was ex plained by Brown as being a conspira cy against him, and that while he was tried, nothing could be proven against him and he was cleared. Somehow this didn’t satisfy the mem bers of his church, and yesterday the clerk of the court here received a letter a>king him of the occurrence. The reply was one Jnot calculated|to bear out Brown’s statement and read thusly: “Lake B.-own was found guilty, and fined $50 or twelve months in theebaiu- gang. The evidence was overwhelm ingly against him.” Brown has a terrible reputation be hind him, and is now a whited sepul chre with most of the white rubbed off. An Attempted Suicide. Special by New* Telegram Association. Atlanta, August 8.—About 11 o’clock last night Mrs. Jennie Joyce, a landlady Iivining at 55 South Forsyth street, attempted suicide by shooting herself in the right breast with a big firmy pistol. Sfie clainis that she did it because soiqo of Jier tcpfu.t# bothered her abouc a mule The wound is a very serious "ne, but it is.not.thought that it .w.ijl (result Editoii.il Correspon fence t > Hasnkit. Atlanta. Ga.. August 7.—Atlanta is full <>l politics,and last night the riemls of the dilfi-rcta candidates were cau cusing until a late lmur. The big gest light will he over the Commissioner of Agin-uiture and Attorney General. All candidates are equally confident and equally frightened. The friends of Nesbitt and Hunnicutt hold their caucus iu adjoining rooms iu Concordia llall, and several efforts were made to unite their strength, but withou snec.-ss. Nesbitt is the stron ger of the two, and hence think theilun- nicutt tnen should come to him. This they “can’t see.” Tln-re will he an other caucus this morning, hut I don’t think it will amount to anything, and that the light will be made in the con vention. Col. Smith, of Oglethorpe, presided over the Henderson caucus. This was a sore disappointment to llimiciitt’s f. iends, as they had counted on him as one the l>est workers, t ol. Henderson is badly frightened, nnk his frien s are working like Trojans for him It is the geui-ra, impression, however, that he is a-goner. I think Lester will defeat Anderson for Attorney General. The former can • didate’s vote was a surprise to himself and the State. The friends of Ander son are hard at work, but say it is a matter of indifference to him whether he is nominated or not. They argue that the Alliance carried the S,ato for Judge Lestnr, because he was not :i law yer euoungh to hurt. He is a pure and able man, however. I met Gov. Gordon last night, and he has already put on It s campaign smile and begun his “wild injun” talk for the U. S. .Senate. The Governor re- maked to us that Clatke hud as well fall into line and support him this year, or they would be worse loft than before, as his column would he longer than ever. I told tho Governor that from the way his vote looked to us Bacon men, lie would then have to extend it over into another state. It is the general impression in Atlan ta that Livingston will be iu the race for U. S. Senator, against G.rdon, and he will press him pretty hard, if the Al liance members of the legislature will only stick. One of the most exciting little pros pective contests is for Judge Lumpkin’s robe, in the event that he is placed on the Supreme bench, whicli is almost an assured fact. Messrs. Seaborn Reese, of Sparta, Hamilton McWhorter, of Lexington, and J. N. Worley, of Elbertou, arc the candidates, and they and their friends are putting in some good work. Mr. Worley is backed by a delegation of iron-ribbed democrats from Elbert, and they are putting in some splendid work for bint. He is one of the strongest mehibers of the Geor gia bar, and would make a splendid ju dicial officer. The other aspirants are likewise able and popular gentlemen. The congressional race in the 8th dis trict is attracting considerable atten tion and there is great anxiety to know who will he the winning man. The general impression here is that Carlton will be the dark horse. Well, 1 was disappointed last night in the great political revolution that swept over Georgia. While the Alli ance won the fight, the same old crowd still rule the roost that have been ma nipulating politics in Georgia since tho angels sang together. Occasionally there is a strange face, hut it seems that the lawyers are still on top. The water iu Atlanta is simply awful. You must hold your nose while drink ing it, and it tastes about as bad as it smells. Atlanta’s water works must certainly lie run in sympathy with her bar rooms. One gentleman says the water has cotton seed oil it. It tastes more like cotton seed guano. There is one advantage in coming to Atlanta when the Kimball is crowded while you have to;take an inferior room the mosquitoes are distributed more generally around, and a fellow hasn’t to fight for his dear life all night. T. L. G. THE NEXT BILLS TO COME UP. A Probable Contest between the Elec, tlons and the Agricultural Commit tees. Special by News Telegram Association. Washington, D. C., August 7.—As soon as the general deficiency appropri ation bill is out of the way in the*house, Chairman Rowell, of the elections com mittee, will make a strong effort to call up those contested eases in which re ports from the committee have been made, of which there are six. including the Breckinridge case. He will be an tagonized by Chairman Fnnston, of the Agricultural Committee, who wants to .bring up the Cooger compound lard bill. 'The elections is a privileged com mittee, hut the houso enu, by a majori ty vote, give the right of way to any committee or hill it desires. SHIP COTTON DIRECT From Our Southern Ports SoSays Ful ton County’s Alllancemen. Special by News Telegram Association. Atlanta, August 7.—Hero’s a most important resolution. It was unanimously adopted by dele gates of the county sub-Alliances at their meetings this morning. Governor John B. Gordon indorsus it by attaching his signature. Here it is: “Whereas, It is important that the cotton ef the farmers of Georgia and of the South should be sold in the best market possi ble with the least possible cost before it reaches such market;and “Where'S*, A large portion of the southern cotton goes to Europe ; there fore be it “Resolved, That the trustees < f the Alliance exchange who are to meet in Atlanta on the lStli of this month be, and they are hereby requested to make arrangements by which that portion of Southern cotton which goes to Europe shrll he shipped from Southern ports directly to the consumers ill Europe.” The resolution was originally drawn and argued by Mr. T. A. Jackson, a prominent Alltanceinan, and when placed before the meeting of delegates, this morning was unanimously adopt ed. It means a great deal for the South, and its spirits should by all me&ns be carried into practice. Hon. J. W. Twitty, Jackson’s repre sentative in the Legislature, was in Athens yesterday. He was one of the best members of the last Legislature, and is prominently mentioned as the speaker of the next House. It is now nearly a week since tho pri mary election, ami nothing hilt the host of feeling prevails between the candi dates. The most ardent supporters of the gentlemen who were defeated have for gotten all the little differences and arc now just as ardent in their support of Col. Morton, and the other nominees of the county. The Colonel got there by a small ma jority, but in a solid old Democra'ic county like Clarke, and with a solid m m like Col. Morton,everybody is now for him, and accepting the action of the democrats last Saturday, when they made b in the choice of :h par ty, his oppot.ems now declare for him, laying down their own opinion as to whom the i ominee should he. A great many, of course, differ with him in regard to the liquor question, hut this they will have an opportunity to fight, as it comes up before the peo ple of the county, if it comesjup at all. All that Col. Morton proposes to do and all he can do, is to work to put he c mnty under tho general local optiton bill. In this lie may fail, but if he suc ceeds, the people of the county will have an opportunity of easting their bajlot as they see fit. About the only difference between the platform of the nominee and those of Iris opponents w as that tho former declared that he would work for the passago of a law placing us under the general local option bill, while the other two would only do so at the request of a majority of the demo crats of Clarke county. The question now is, can tho Colonel succeed in his undertaking? There is a sensational rumor afloat about independents being put out for ad county offices. There may he some thing in it or there may not, but even if there is, it will amount to nothing. It is rumored that the negroes have been holding meetings at various places in the country, and are organizing for the purpose of securing candidates as strong as possible to make races against the nominees. In fact, a prominent gentleman tells us that one of the leaders among the col ored people informed him that they were fixing things, and all they wanted now were some good men with strength to go in with them. This has always been the trouble with them They can’t find any of their own color capable, and can’t get a respecta ble white man to go into their schemes. Thus it will ever be with them until they understand that the Democrats, and especially Southern democrats are their best Irieuds. A crowd was gathered a day or two ago talking of politics in general,' and among other good things gotten off, was the following, attributed to Emory Sp. er, which we do not remember of having seen in print. Mr. S[>eer was making one of his magnificent stump speeches, and whieh carrying his audience with him ia a flight of eloquence, was interrupted by a party decidedly under the influence of liquor. The fellow staggered up to the platform and, shaking his fist, yelled: “Speer,- you’s a 'dema gogue.” Stopping short, Mr. Speer pointed his finger at him and said : “And you, if you had a little straw- wrapped around you, would he a first- class demijohn.” Nothing takes so well with a crowd as a pretty piece of repartee from n speaker,and a man who has this faculty is sure of arousing the enthusiasm of his hearers. Athens possesses some of the best stump speakers in the state, and their success may he attributed to the fact of the possession of this faculty in a high degree. To a majority of men nothing is more pleasant than to get up a joint discus sion between two bright aud witty men who are good at repartee, and watch the fun, and in this way a great deal of p.easure was gotten out of the last cam paign. A little gathering derived a great deal of amusement the other afternoon from a pretty play of words jietween two of our citizens, both of whom have made reputation in this line. Major W. B. Pruitt and Mr. T m Cobb were the parties, and the flow of wit from both seemed inexhaustible. Every body knows the Major and when be starts jumping at a fellow with that Banks county drawl of his, he is usually let al ne. However, there is no brighter fellow in rhe state than Tom Cobb, and when the Major touched him up a little the fun began. For fifteen minutes there was one of the brightest and keenest flows of wit that is often the fortune of an Athenian to hear, and the cuts and slashes in dulged in kept the crowd in a roar. Neither would stop, and when finally one started off, they kept talking, and shouted their replies to each other uutil out of hearing. They certainly are a pair when it comes to e thing of this kind, and we will hack them against anv in the state. Kicking Against the St form. | Spiciul by News Telegram Association. Montgomery, Ala., August 7.—The second day’s meeting of the State Alli ance in this city is of unusual interest among its members. Nothing absolute ly is known outside ns to what is going on, but enough is known to justify the very general belief that a big fight is now being made over a resolution en dorsing the resolutions adopted at St. Louis by the National Firmer*’ Alli ance.

C., August 7.—The warfare of the Farmers’ Alliance and the Richmond & Danville railroad against Senator Vance grows apace, and it is exciting much interest. It has been supposed by Democrats outside the Alliance that that organiza tion having named seven out of the nine congressional nominees, would make no formidable attempt to defeat the Sena tor. It appears, however, that the farmers determinedly oppose Mr. Vance be cause of his stand on the sub-treasury bill. COLORED COFFEE kAISERS. TAKE IK THE SPRING.

Chicago, August 7.—Ad inquest wu held to-day on the body of an int:i!ii whieh Mrs. Frances Russell is accuse, of having starved to death. Mrs. Rus sell, to th.- surprise of everybody, >ai.t, when placed under oath, that the infant was not hers. The woman then said that she obtain ed the child from an orphan asylum and palmed it oft' upon her husband as their offspring. The reason she assigned for tne deception was to prevent trouble in her tamily. By means of drug*, taken to quiet her nerves, she had been pre maturely confined, and to conc-al the fact from her husband, she had surrep titiously brought home the child. Thomas Russell, the husband, was tensely angered on hearing his wife’s testimony. “I did not know until this moment that the child was not ours,” he said. “All the neighbors were running in and out, and I thought it was allright.” Russell is a book-keeppr and earns good wages. His wife tried to patch things up by declaring that she had tes tified to a lie, but he would not believe her and left the court room. Mrs. Rus sell was held without bail to await the action of the Grand Jury. i mi Trampled on the Flag.

Klop tried to draw a revolver on Policeman Smith and then fled, but was overhauled. Emil Vogt, a leader in Hie fight, was committed to j.-.:I to-day without hail for an atr. ciou assault on Policeman Wind. The cry of the anarchists, it. is said, was: “Kill the police!” One of them tried, it is said, to brain Policeman Wind with a beer keg when he was lying on the ground. It is alleged also that the rioters tore down and trampled under foot the American flag that floated on the flag staff outside the grove. Special orders have been given to-night to the police to arrest several more ot the anarchist* whoso name are known. In all twenty- eight are wanted, warrants being issued for that number.
