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. It you feel unable to do your work, and hare that tired feesing* take Dr. J. H.

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.

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. w-tf (SUCCESSORS TO SOUTHERN SEED COMPANY.) Wholesale and Retail Dealers in Farm and Garden Seed.
