Ihe editor of this paper, a wrek
before the election, was approached
by one of our largest cotton men
and merchants, who informed us
that our fight for the Alliance and
Sub-Treasury bill had built us up
strong enemies not only in Athens,
but in ail the towns, among tlie mer
chants ; and it would result in Olive
being supported as a rebuke to Thu
Banned.
Here is where the fight was made
in Athens—not against Colley or
Lawson, but against the editor of
1 iik Banneh, because he chose to
defend the Alliance and their princi*
pies. They knew that at heart Mr.
Olive had no sympathy with the far
mers—and so they had sooner
sec him elected than any of the can
didates in the field.
We are notin tho slightest degree
discouraged, and propose to continue
our fight to the end. We are in Atlm
ens to stay, and we will continue our
light for the Alliance and the Sub-
Treasury bill if every man in the
district is against us.
Tlie Saturday’s election has taught
ns a lesson—showed us who are
our real friends, and on whom we
can rely.
Place not your trust in princes or
in politicians.
Our Alliance friends stood by us
in the Colley-Olive race—the former
gentleman carrying three precincts.
It was the anli-Subtreasury men in
Athens who carried the county for
Mr. Olive, backed by the districts
lying broadside to Oglethorpe, and
where Mr. Olive’s family exerted
their personal influence.
If every county in the district en
dorses Mr. Olive and his greenback
theory, Tiie Banmeu and its editor
will still be found battling for the
Alliance and the SuboTrcasury bill.
Mr. Olive’s victory in Athens proves
that he is not sincere in his pledges
to the farmers. He was supported
by the very men the Alliance is or*,
ganized to combat.
cftrgia s
Howell Cobb, one of Ge<
greatest statesmen, was onco defeat
ed for tho legislature in Claikccoun
ty ; and his son Mr. A. J. Cobb has
met the same fate. Andrew Cobh
bears bis defeat in the happiest
manner. He stood firmly by his
principles and convictions, and was
saciificod upon tlie altar of prohibi
tion. The day will yet come when
old Clarke will recognize his worjLh
and help to honor Mr. Cobh wttlT
even a higher office than the one lie
failed to receive.
KILLED IN AUGUSTA’
Lewis iH. ;Patlllo Shoots Charles P.
Hudson.
Saturday night, about 10;30 o’clrck,
in Augusta, Mr, Lewis H. Patillo allot
a id killed C. P. Hudson. Mr. Patillo
was severely wounded in the side, but
is not thought to be mortally hurt.
There were no witnesses to the trage
dy The men mot alone on the streets,
and emptied their Smith & Wessons at
one another. Patillo was hit hut once.
II udson was lilt but once, the shot be
ing fatal.
The cause of the tragedy, according to
telegraphic reports, was the attentions
.of Mr. Hudson to Mr. Patillo’s divorced
wife, Mr*. Ella Hall.
The Augusta Chronicle says: “From
remarks dropped, the indications are
that the ail'air grew out of domestic
nutters. This is apparently strange,for
Mr. Patillo is a divorced man. He was
married to a daughter of Dr. Hall, ol
Warren ton.
“It is not known that Mr. Hudson
was acquainted with Miss Hall, tor that
lady has resumed tier maiden name, she
having obtained a divorce.”
Mr. 1.owls 11.Patillo is travelling cor
respondent of the Augusta Chronicle.
Last year ho was stationed at Atlanta as
Atlanta correspondent of the Clironiclo.
He lias been keeping up with the Caro
lina political campaign for the paper,
and lias been doing admirable work.
Ho formerly owned tho Warrenton
Clipper, which he edited and managed
with signal ability. He is well known
all over Georgia, and can name his
t riends hy the hundreds in every sec
tion of the state. He wt-9 in Athens a
few weeks ago, and is well and favora
bly known here. Ho is the son of Rev.
8. A. Patillo, of Mount Vernon, Mont
gomery county, Ga., and Mr. S. II. Pa-
lillo, of Warrenton, is his uncle.
Mr. C. P. Hudson was a native of
Jefferson county, Ga. He was 24 years
of ago, and was in the employ of Paly
and Armstrong, dry goods, Augusta,
having held a position m that establish
ment foi about a year. He attended
school at Stellaville, Ga., studied law,
and was admitted to the bar, but did
not follow that profession. He was very
popular with those with whom he was
intimate, and made many friends while
in Augusta.

NO CONTEST.
Mr. Cobb Will Abide by the Primary
Some of Mr. A. J. Cobb’s friefids as
sert that there were enough illegal votes
oast in Clarko county to change the re
sult and elect him—that boys not of
age voted, aud other parties who were
not citizens of tho county. But Mr.
Cobb stated that under no circumstan
ces would he permit a contest, but abide
hy the decision. , . nnn
One party is said to have lost
on the election Col. Morton, hut ho gave
up the money wltliont a word.
While there is a good deal of com
plaint about trailing votes, thereis no
bitterness or hard feeling left behind.
Now let us all forget and bury our
differences, and set to work to build up
Athens. Tho future prospeny of our
city is paramount to the political suc
cess of any man or set of wen-
SATURDAY’S
PRIMARY.
THE TRUE STORY OF MR. OLIVE’S
VICTORY.
It Was a Personal Fight Against the
Banner Editor—How the Campaign
Was Conducted and Votes Tra-
dntl'—Mr. Olive Groomed by
i the LlQuor Men and Ene
mles of the Sub-Treasu
ry Blll--Mr. Colley
without a Worker
at the Polls.
Mr. J. T. Olive has carried Clarke
county for Congress.
And the enemies of the Alliance and
the bitterest foes to the Sub-Treasury
bill are rolling it as a sweet morsel un
der their tongues.
Even the white men who endorsed
Matt Davis are wearing a broad grin of
satisfaction.
And Ctifllc is also happy.
Thej all unite in looking upon this
defeat of 'Tim Bannkd editor in his own
county as a grand victory.
. ***
In the country Mr. Olive claimed to
be in favor of the Sub-Treasury hill
first, last and all the time. In his Ath
ens speech, where he had to face the
enemies of the Alliance, he thought
greenbacks “something better than the
Sub-Treasury plan.”
Tiik Banner editor was told that
ho was building up enemies among the
merchants, the cotton dealers, the man
ufacturers and capitalists hy advocating
the Alliance, and that if wo did not de
sert the cause of the farmers we would
regret if. Wc spurned such a proposi
tion, and determined to stand by the
farmers and the Sub-Treasury bill to
the end.
* *
Several days ago we saw that a com
bination had been formed in Athens to
defont us. Mon with whom we have
voted and worked—for whom we have
built up enemies, and never failed them
when called upou—when appealed to,
refused to raise a baud to help us.
Those who we offended by denouncing
them for giving a negro such strong
letters of endorsement as postmaster had
united to a man on Mr. Olive—and even
the negroes were nil on his side, for the
night when Mr. Colley spoke on Broad
Street., the blacks in the crowd were
yelling—
“Hurrah for Olive! He’s our man
for Congress!”
***
Men went to Mr.Colloy and.told him if
he was seen upon the streets with Larry
Gantt it would injure his chances—that
ho had made himself so unpopular in
Athens hy attacking Matt Davis’friends,
and by antagonizing the merchants and
capitalists of Athens in the interest of
the farmers; and they were determined
to defeat any man in Clarke county wo
saw lit to support.
*
if *
Tho voters in our factories bad been
lead into supporting Mr. Olive under
the impression that he was “tho poor
man’s candidate,” while Judge Lawson
and Mr. Colley were enemies to the
working classes. A house to house can
vass had been made In tho interest of
Mr. Olive, and any and every plea that
could possibly change a vote was set
up.
#"*
On the other hand, neither Messrs.
Colley or Lawson had a single worker
in the county. Men who were pledged
to Mr. Colley changed over to Air. Olive,
aud those who were instrumental in
bringing hiui into tlie race.refused te
raise a hand, lost it injure tho chances
of some local candidate they were sup
porting.
#**
But even after all this work and
scheming Mr. Colley was the choice of
Clarke county, had the people been per
mitted to dci>osit their ballots as they
saw fit nnd proper. But around the
polls tho work was done, and such a
trading of votes as was never before
known.
***
In Oglethorpe county, Mr. Olive was
supported by the prohibitionists and
Sub-Treasury advocates; in Clarke
county he gave himself over into the
hands of the enemies of the Alliance
and tho advocates of the liquor trattie.
While of course some of the prohibi
tionists supported him, the men who
did the hardest work for him around
tlie polls were also tho dispensers of the
whisky ballots. Colley was sacrificed
on every hand, and as many as four and
six Colley votes wore tradeid to Olive in
consideration of one Morton vote.
***
As fast as a carriage rolled up,it was at
once surrounded by friends and rela
tives of Mr. Olive, and hundreds of men
voted for that candidate without even
knowing what they were doing. There
were sixteen names on the tickets, and
they only glanced to see if their favo
rite was there.
***
We acknowledge out defeat in Clarke
county; but it is not a defeat in the
highest sense of the word. It shows
that an attempt has been made to re
buke us for standiugup to the Alliance,
iqul advocating the supremacy of the
white race. It shows to the farmers of
the Bth district our loyalty and devo
tion to their interests: and that Mr.
Olive is sailing under false colors when
he appeals to the Alliancomen forjtheir
votes. No congressman can serve two
masters, and Mr. Olive has three—the
capitalists, merchants and corporations,
the greenbackers, and the Alliance.
***
What has Tub Banxbr editor done
to render himself unpopular w ith the
good people of Athens or this section
of our State ?
Has he evor defrauded a man of a
nickel or wronged a human being!
Has he ever failed to battle for the
success of his party, the. supremacy of
liis race, the prosperity of liis city and
section, or the happiness and elevation
of his people ?
Has he ever asked a reward or offlee
for his labors?
Has he ever turned a deaf ear to tho
appeals for charity or any public enter
prise?
No one can truthfully dispute the
above,
No. There is a deliberate attempt to
defeat him and drive him from Clarke
county, because he denounced certain
intluential and rich men who saw fit to
endorse Matt Davis as postmaster. In
the face of a solid opposition in Athens
he threw the influence of the paper on
the side of the struggling Alliancemen.
lie refused to be made a tool of by eer
tain politicians, that they could work
him for their own ends and interests.
As a consequence, all of . these classes
banded together to break down Tue
Banner and its editor; and are now re
joicing that his candidate was defeated
in Clarke county.
owell Cobb could never carry Clarke
county,but w as overwhelmingly eleeted
to congress in his -district. Clarke was
a strong Whig county, and after Oconee
was cut off, never went democratic in a
national election until it was carried by
Cleveland. But the contest last Sat
urday was not between parties, but a
fight agaiust an individual—and an in
dividual, too, who has never proved
false to his people or his party.
***
While Air. Colley has lost the vote of
Clarke county by this fight upon Tub
Banner editor and the Alliance, we be
lieve that it will strengthen him in
other counties. The farmers, for whose
interest we have so earnestly battled,
and in whoso cause we have built up
such strong and bitter opposition iu
Athens , will see that we are sustained.
The Alliancemen of Oconee are not
ready as yet to vote for a candidate
whose election will vindicate the ap
pointment of a negro postmaster in
Athens, and for whom the blacks upon
our streets are hunting.
* *
If The Banner editor had never
made a fight against the endorsers of
Matt Davis—or entered a protest
against the passage of that Insolvent
costs bill; and consented to use his col
umns to assist certain candidates in the
last election, Hon. F. II. Colley would
have carried Clarke county by an over
whelming majority.
We are truly glad that this contest
came oil’ as it did, lor it served to dis
close to us our real friends, and show-
up others in their true light. It has
checked us in a course that might have
lead U3 in the wrong direction. It has
severed many old ties and made new
ones, that are hotter founded. The Sat
urday’s contest ghowed us certain men
in Clarke county in their true light. In
the future we can easily separate friend
from foe.
***
There are men who stood faithfully
beside us in our fight, and we shall
ever remember them with gratitude.
Some sought this occasion to gratify a
personal spite; and yet others who
wanted to silence our pen and drive ijs
from the county, because wo expoi
certain official acts that they wanted jo
keep in the dark. But we don’i
pose to leave Athens, until we are c^r^
ried out feet foremost.
THE OFFICIAL
RETURNS.
OF THE PRIMARY ELECTION OF
CLARKE COUNTY.
Pimples, boils aud other humors, are liable to
appear when the blood eets heated The best
remedy is Dr. J. 11. McLean's Sarsaparillu.
■a Ifc
To Kkki'Boardxrs.—Mr.Jesse A Han,
connected for four years with the Com
mercial hotel, has given up his position
and will open a boarding house on
Lumpkin street, lie has also ordered
a bran new ’bus, and will run a transfer
line in the city. Air. Allan knows all
about keeping boarders and will no
doubt be successful in getting all the
wants.
Remarkable Cures
Continue at the Electric Sanitarium,
Hillman, Ga. One week ago a paralytic
came there and in 3 days was able to
shave and dress himself the first time
since February List. A rheumatic came
on the same day so ill he had his meals
carried to his bed and in less than one
week was ablo to walk down the hill
with a stick, almost entirely well aud a
surprise to himself,
d 2t. w It.
Tub Crops.—There never was known
in the history of this section, such
prospects for a cotton and corn crop
as at this time. While there aro a few
dry streaks, the recent rains have
brought out crops therein, hut over a
large belt of territory the yield will lie
as large as tho land ear. produce. In
deed have our farmers just cause to be
thankful. Even peas, turnips and the
•mailer crops are exceptionally line. _
Take Notice.
Remember that the present charter of
the Louisiana State Lottery Company,
which the Supreme Court of the U. S.
has decided to be a Contract with the
State of Louisiana and part of the Con
stitution of the State does not expire
until tho First of January, 1895. The
Legislature of Louisiana,which adjourn
ed on the 10th of July of this year, has
ordered an amendment to the Constitu
tion of the State to be submitted to the
People at an olection in 1892, which will
carry the charter of The Louisiana State
Lottery Company up to the year Nine
teen Hundred and Nineteen.
Morr Rain.—We yesterday had an
other excellent rain. While it was not
needed, no harm was done. It is hard
to have too much rain this month. The
only thing that farmers have to dread
is a flood.
Distress alter eating, heartburn, sick head
ache, and indigestion are cured by Dr. J. H.
McLean’s Liver and Kidney Pifiets IWepilla.
A Wblcowh Visitor.—Air. James M-
Edwards, one of the leading railroad
men iu America, with headquarters at
Memphis, Tenn., is on a visit to friends
in Athens, but leaves to-day. He is a
son of our esteemed friend, the late
Mordecai Edwards, of Oglethorpe
county, Ga. Mr. Edwards says there
is a grand future ahead for Athens,
when we get our new railroads, as this
is is looked upon as one of the growing
cities of Georgia.
CATARRH.
Catarral Deafness—Hay Fever—A
New Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagous, or that
they are due to the preseec of living
parasites in the lining membrane of the
nose and eustachian tubes. Micro
scopic research, however, has proved
this to be a fact, and the result of this
discovery is that a simple remedy has
been formulated whereby catarrh, ca
tarrhal deafness and hay fever, are per
manently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by
the patient once in two weeks.
N. B.—This treatment is not a snuft
or an ointment; both have been discar
ded by reputatble physicians as injuri
ous. A pamphlet explaining this new
treatment is sent free on receipt of
Stamp to pay postage, by A. H. Dixon
& Son, 337 and 339 West King Street,
Toronto, Canada.—Christian Advo-
vocate.
Sufferers from # Catarrhal troubles

Editor Athens Banner:—I would
like to inquire when we are to have a
new Executive Committee in Clarke
county? The present members were
elected more than two years ago, and
their tenure of office is at an end ; and
yet we see that they are still holding
over and controlling the politics of our
county. It is high time that a conven
tion of the people was again called, aud
anew committee eleeted. Any action
by the old committee is illegal, for they
have no more power than the same
number of private citizens.

Over Two Million of Dollars.
The Grand Semi-Annual Drawing of

Dead After Fasting Forty-Three Days
Windsor, Ont., August 2.—Mrs. Ro-
derigo Valliniere is dead, after having
fasted forty-three days. She took sick
in January last aud medical men said
it was a case 2<>f dyspepsia. She kept
growing worse, and for the last forty-
three days has refused to take a particle
of food. The only thing she could re
tain on her stomach was water, of
which she would driuk a couple of gal
lons daily.
Have you visited Toomer’s elegant fur
niture emporium m the last few months ?
if not you have missed a treat. It is
the place to see the prettiest and most
attractive display of furniture ever put
on sale iu Northeast Georgia. It is not
only the place to see, but it is the place
to buy. You will be astonished to see
at wliat low prices their goods have been
placed on the market. The fact of the
business is, J. B. Toomer is a flrst-class
business man, and has long since dis
carded oIj business methods. Formerly
it was customary to sell a few goods,
but on them it was also customary to
make an inmense profit. Things have
changed, and Toomer is not one of the
old flguress. He believes in the new
idea, which is to sell a great many
goods, and at low profits. The result
is that lie can, by selling in such quan
tities, give you bargains. His delivery
wagon is always on the go, and frequ« nt-
ly it is necessary for him to work his
force at night. Go to Toomer’s and see
his stock, aud you arc sure to buy.
