THE ATHENS BANNER: TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 12, 1890
PROHIBITION
IN ATHENS.
A TRUTHFUL STATEMENT OF THE
SITUATION.
Liquor and Beer Openly and Publicly
Sold--A State of Affairs That Sadly
Needs Roform—Let ua Enforce Our
Laws.
Now that the pood peopln of Athens
anil Clarke county have endorsed pro
hibition by giving such a decisive vote
to the two candidates representing these
views, it is the duty of our police force
to set to work and break up the. numer
ous blind tiger lairs tiiat infest and dis
grace our city. There is no use in try
ing to disguise the fact that meun
whisky and stale beer are openly sold
on many cross streets and public thor
oughfares. The railroad receipts show
that over 5,000 gallons of whisky and
l»0,tK)0 bottles of beer wore received in
Athons siiK-o April 1st last.
This does not include the large
quantity shipped by express and sold
by the Madison county bar-rooms.
There is something radically wrong in
either our prohibition laws or their en
forcement. The liquor traffic is on the
constant increase, and drunken men are
a daily spectacle on our streets. Every
^raiii brings in barrels of whisky and
cllses of beer. Children of tender years
cun buy whisky, while any negro will
take your money and bring you in re
turn any kind of intoxicating liquor.
From East Athens to the classic pre
cincts of Cobbham the traffic is openly
practiced. Every week new dens are
<>lien, uud no attempt is made to conceal
them.
***
This does not include our drug stores,
that are licensed by the city, State and
county to sell. If they complied with
the law, and only sold for “Medicinal
purposes,” they could net hope to get
the tax bock. So as a natural conse
quence few customers are refused beer
or whisky.
The judge of our city court basal-
ready decided tint a physician has a
right to prescribe and "sell liquor to his
patients; and hence, while Athens is
the healthiest city in Georgia, we can
show a larger number of “patients”
than any spot in the South. Wo do not
count a drug store as a blind tiger, for
they jay a regular license for tbe busi
ness, and uuder the decision of the
court are legalised saloons.
, ,.. . . * # *
The class of liquor and beer sold in
the blind tiger dives is the vilest ever
concocted. There is one fellow who is
said to have recently killed one white
man arid two negroes with his liquor.
The former was well, and bought a gal
lon of the Stull' and got drunk on it.
In throo hours ho was in tlio throes of
death. A gentleman tells us that a few
days ago two of his little boys—the old
est only lf> years came home home in a
beastly state of intoxicatiou. There is
no discrimination between adults and
children. Any one with the money cau
be supplied.
Now, in view of tins state of affairs,
it is bigli time that some steps should
be taken to roetout the evil in Athens.
W o must not emulate the example of
that foolish bird, the ostrich, which
sticks its head in the sum! and imagines
that it thus escapes its pursuers. The
evil is upon us, and is increasing fright
fully. There are not less than a hun
dred bar-rooms in Athens to-day, and
they blight every section of our city.
Ihty eight, and even the Sabbath, they
are kept open. Their locations and
business are well known to every mem
ber of our police force.
And these officers arc not altogether
to blame for not suppressing them; for
even with the most conclusive proof, it
seems impossible to secure a conviction.
If a bliuu tiger is convicted before the
mayor,he appeals his case to.couneil.and
his line is only too often icmittcd. If
lie is tried betore the City Court, it
almost equivalent to an acquittal. But
when an accused offonder is convicted,
lie resumes his old business and in a few
days can earn the amount of his line.
Now, with such a state of affairs ex
isiing, wo cannot blame many good eit
i/.ons for demanding any remedy to
break up this blind tiger business.
, They see liquor openly sold in our city
—the courts and] juries sustaining the
traffic—church members and prohibi
tionists winking at the traffic—and yet
the eity not receiving one cent of reve
nue.
But even in tire lace of these well-
known facts,Clarke county, by its vote,
defended prohibition.<Now, it behooves
us to show to the world that wo can en
force prohibition as well as endorse it.
Let every good and law-abiding citizen
in Athens resolve to lend overy means
in bis power to root out the blind ti-
gers. insist that our officers and courts
vindicate tlie laws and punish offend
ers.
i ctition the legislature to pass a more
stringent law for our county. Increase
the penalties. Hire detectives and fer
ret out these dens at any cost to tli o
city. This can bo done. And then
when a man is convicted of illicit whis
key selling, let his punishment be as
sured.
Tim Banxitit will stand by tho prohi-
tionists of (Jlurke county to sustain the
verdict reudered at the polls on Satur
day last, but will insist that such steps
be taken as will not render the law a
fare© in our eity. Wo owo it to o irselves
and to tho community that this be done.

A VISITOR’S OPINION
Concerning the Classic City and Her
Growth.
tub nmm illume
——AN 1>—
The Athens Banner Editor.
t'apt. J. I’. Manly, of Home, is in
Athens for tho lirst time in twenty-live
years. He was born and raised in
Clarke county, but has been away for a
longtime.
In talkiug with a reporter yesterday
he said: “\ou have no idea how Ath
ens lias improved. Why, positively I
'vaSiHstonished at the busy si girt when
I came up from the depot, .nu the im
provements are so great as to make the
city an entirely different one from that
I knew. There is one thing, however,
that we have, and that has done us more
good than any one tiling, and will do
the same for Athens. That is a line
hotel. With the size and importance of
the plaee it would pay well, and is the
I Mist of advertisements and attractions.”
Capt Manly has just finished a tour
through tho couuties surrounding
Clarke, and says he never saw such
ropsin his
ll« said a great many good things
of our city, and coining as they do from
one of Homo’s most prominent citizens,
they are highly appreciated.
Certain papers in Georgia—that have
been vindictive enemies ol the Farmer's
Alliance and the Sub-Treasury bill—
are now gloating over the defeat of
Tun BaNNKH editor in Clarke coiintv,
and chafing us on being deserted by the
very men for whom we have worked so
hard. Some of these papers go so far
as to charge that Allianeeiiieu have no
appreciation of their supporters, and
reads as a warning about going off on
gUch wild-goose chases.
Such articles arc an injustice to the
Farmer’s Alliance. In the first plaee,
we do not ask or expect this organha-
tion to follow us in our opposi
tion to or advocacy of a candidate.
Farmers are men of sense and judg
ment, and will be guided more by their
own idea of right and wrong than the
counsel of any one. We did not espouse
the eauso of the Alliance for the pur
pose of influencing the votes of its mem
bers, but because we believed that they
were right.—because our sympathy has
ever been and ever will be with the op
pressed and struggling farmers—be
cause we wanted to see them independ
ent, happy and prosperous; and we will
add, that if every Alliancemau in the
8th district, in Georgia and the Union,
refused to sustain us, we would not re
lax an effort, but labor as earnestly for
this grand order and their principles as
we have done in tbe past.
But we deny that the Alliancemen of
Clarke county, “went back on us.”
Three country districts gave Mr. Colley
handsome majorities, while four-firths
of the farmers who voted at Athens east
their ballots witli us.
No; it was not the Alliance of Clarke
county that carried the day foi Olive,
but the votes of men whom we had an
tagonized by defending this order and
tho Sub-Treasury bill and in the face of
the bitterest opposition. Had we seen
lit to desert the cause of tho Alliance
aud court thu support and popularity of
the eity, no power on earth could have
defeated Colley iD Clarke. The Olive
victory was intended as a rebuke to us
for daring to standby the Alliance in
the face of all the wealth and powers
that we have to combat. It was a de
liberate attempt to mortify and weaken
us abroad. But we defy" all of their
schemes and machinations. We are en
listed in the cause of the farmers till
death. We want the friendship and sup
port of Athens and its people, hut if to
secure this we have to desert the Alli
ance and the Sub-Treasury bill. w«
shall walk the streets of this city if re
quired, as a hermit, with every man’s
hand against ns. We intend to stand
by the Farmers’ Alliance in
their great fight. if it
wrecks ThkAthkNk Banner financially
and leaves us a pauper. Here beneath
the shades of our banks, warehouses
and factories, and surrounded by mil-
lionsof wealth, we plant the Alliance
banner, and shall never lower it until
the hand that wields this pen is palsied
in death.
•So let these partisan newspapers jeer
—let our enemies do their worst—let
the whole power and capital of the. cities
combine to crush us—but we do not
propose to recede an inch from the stand
we have taken.
For months we have stood solitary
and alone among the newspapers of
Georgia in our fight for the Alliance
and its principles. Patrons have de
serted us and some friends are estrang
ed; but we have not for an instant wa
vered. Wo have been abused, slander
ed and threatened; but thank God,
when we meet upon the street an Alli-
anceman, and grasp his honest palm,
we then feel that we have yet friends —
warm, true and loyal. Our anchor of
hope rests in the hearts of tbe farmers
ol old Georgia, and on them do we rely
for sympathy, friendship and support.
The day will yet come when we shall
stand vindicated against the taunts and
insults heaped upon us. We have no
selfish ends to subserve in the position
we have taken. We have never in our
life wilfully harmed or wronged a iiu
man being. We have conducted our
light tor the Alliance and our opposi
tion to Mr. Olive on a high and legiti
mate plane—indulging in neither per
sonalities or abuse. Mr. Olive liiinself
will bear us out in this statement. But
at the same time we have brought to
bear all the talent and reason that God
has endowed us with to sustain our
cause.
It is not the mission of the Alliance
to oppress any man or take unfair ad
vantage of any corporation. What
they demand is their fair share of the
fruits of their honest toil. To this
they are entitled, ami we shall do
everything in our uower to secure the
farmers their just dues.
We want to see tho day come when a
farmer can bring hu cotton to Athena
and price the produce of Iub Held as docs
the merchant his goods. Wc want to
see the the sons of toil placed on the
same footing with the now favored
classes.
Then will our country blosom as the
rose, and every humans being be equally
benefitted.
In this battle for the Alliance, who
have we wronged—who injured? Do
wo ask either office or reward for the
work wo have done or wiil still do ? It
is the men who arc abusing us who are
after the loaves and fishes. All we de
sire is the consciousness of being an
humble instrument in the emancipation
of our down-trodden farmers from the
burthen of debt and tbe tyrany of com
bined capital.
Tho day will yet come come when our
feeble efforts in behalf of the Alliance
will be appreciated—when a man living
in a city will not be a subject of ridicule
for defending the Sub-Treasury bill—
when to be known as a friend to the
farmers will not bring upon your head
contempt and ridicule—when for main
taining tho principles of the great agri
cultural organization will not murk you
as a subject for abuse, defeat and mor
tification. Yes, the day is not far dis
tant when a man who stood by the
Farmer's Alliance iu tbe groat strug
gle for their rights and liberty in 1800
will not be held as a demagogue and an
enemy to his people.
Our enemies may destroy and crush
the paper that we now control out of ex
istence—may organize boycotts among
certain merchants and the ardent sup
porters of Mr. Olive and destroy our
business—may reduce its editor to the
necessity of again sticking type at the
case; but Phoenix-like we will arise
from the ashes of ruin, and plant in
the faces of our enemies and
the enemies of the Farmer’s Alliance
a new paper, aud inscribed nu its bead
will be. “The Alliance and the Sub-
Treasury bill.”
We may go down before the crushing
force of our combined enemies; but we
don’t intend to stay down, if a determi
nation of purpose and bard work will
rescue us.
We make no war on any man, firm or
corporation. We are simply battling
for a cause that we believe, in our
heart, to be right and just, and all the
powers of earth cannot turn us.
CARLTON FOR CONGRESS.
His Friends Think ho Will be tho Nom
inee.
The Olive victory in Clarke was as
much of a victory for Congressman
Carlton us for Mr. Olive, and is so rec
ognized by iiis friends. The leader of
the Olive delegation, Hon. II. C’. Tuck,
has Dr. Carlton’s interests in band, and
it is generally understood the entire
Olive delegation will go to this gentle
man if Mr. Olive' himself is not nomi
nated. It is the general impression now
on the streets of Athens that If. H. Carl
ton will be the dark horse. He has
many strong friends in Athens, looking
after his political interests. It is also
probable that Judge Lawson will also
give Dr. Carlton a lift if he sees his de
feat in store, rather than go to Colley,
So it seems possible that Dr. Carlton’s
lucky star has not as yet deserted him,
for lie undoubtedly has a better chance
or the nomination than any of the three
gentleman now in the field.
Mr. ulivo is connected with Dr. Carl
ton by marriage—the closest farnilv
ties unite them—and it is but natural
that they assist each other politically.
In the event of a dark horse being
brought in, Dr. Carlton’s friends say lie
can count on the following votes :
Oglethorpe, 1; Clarke, 2; Franklin, 2 ;
Oconee, 2; Madison, 2; Putnam, 4;
Greene, 4. Total, 20. This estimate
does not look unreasonable.
If Mr. Olive carries Elbert and Oco-
nee—us bis friends claim that ho will do
—it gives Dr. Carlton 12 votes to stait
on.
The Congressional waters in this dis
trict are badly mudded, and at this
time it rea'ly looks as if our present
Congressman will be the dark horse,

HON. F. H. COLLEY.
He Spends the Night In Athens, and
Leaves for Oconoe.
Mr. Colley spent last night in the
city, but leaves this morning for Oco
nee county. He was seen by a Banner
reporter.
Mr. Colley bears his defeat in both
Clarke and Franklin in the best spirit,
and says lie highly appreciates the
work done by his friends iu Athens, and
is especially grateful to the Alliance-
men in the three districts in Clarke that
gave lnm such complimentary majorities
lie says lie appreciates tho embarrass
ing position in which many of his
friends were placed, and could not ex
pect thorn to work for him when they
had local camlidites to look after. lie
had been similarly situated himself, and
had rather lose the vote of the county
himself than imperil the choice of his
friends. He thought the iarge vote
that he received iu Clarke exceedingly’
gratifying considering the surround
ing-
ilr. Colley said he had no pressed
tight to make either upon Mr. Olive or
Judge Lawson, and he proposed to con
duct the campaign on the highest
principles.
As the matter now stands, he could
not tell who would lead in the conven
tion. So far as he was concerned, lie
had ho trade or iindurstandiniug with
any one. lie occupied the same posi
tion in Athens that lie did before an au
dience of farmers. He was a farmer
himself, am! if elected to congress the
interests of this honorable class would
be his especial care.

THE TABLES TURNED.
How a Countryman Did up an Athenl- They Rack a Lad Who was Bitten by
an. aMadDog.
Here is an indisputable proof of the
good of reading newspapers
•< <*>n»l^ ffpnjfVlCt VU IUUU1, UK AV UUillOVU
Although one reader got a little too this morning, lay the body of George
smart.
About a week ago a prominent eiti-
zon was in our sanctum, aud while look
ing over otir exchanges came across an
at tide that tickled him immensely.
In substance it was as follows:
A country man came to town with a
coop full of chickens. A buyer ap
proached and was priced them thusly:
if the buyer took his pick, tho price for
each was 20 ets., and if the owner did
the picking he would sell them at 15 cts.
The gentleman agreed to the latter, and
wus handed out a little chick no bigger
than a bird. 11c decided to take anoth
er, and one a little larger '•was
given to him. He called
for still another, and another, and the
size kept increasing. The countryman
began to look blue, and huuded them
out slowly, and with great hesitation.
But he couldn’t go back on his own
proposition, and. kept answering the
buyer’s calls till every one was gone,
and at s loss of several dollars to him,
and a gain for the speculator. »
Our visitor was impressed with tlio
scheme und said he would work it on
some fellow yet.
Just after lie left, one of our friends
troni the country came in and read the
same article, commenting on the stupid
ity of Ills agricultural contemporary.
Nothing more was thought of this un
til yesterday when the reporter notieed
tlie two gentlemen above mentioned
engaged in conversation. Both winked
at the reporter expressively as be ap
proached, and he stayed around to watch
developments.
The countryman called to his driver
to bring liis w agon down, and showed
lus friend a lot of watermelons.
1 here were alKiut thirty little fellows
worth about a niekle apiece, aud then a
number of as large and tine ones as have
been seen in the oitv. '1’lin owner nriced

been seen in the oity. Tho owner pricod
then at 30 cents for the pick of the pur
chasers, and at ten if he did the pick-
ing.
Tlie prospective buyer carefully count
ed them and eame to the conclusion that
he would make a great gain by playing
tlie trick he read.
So he agr. ed to allow the seller to
pick, aud was handed out one about as
big as a good sized apple. Ho called
for another, and turned and grinned at
tlie reporter who griuned appreciative
ly in return, but also caught tlie pecul
iar expression on tlie face of tlie other.
Tli” buyer called for more, and in a
few minutes was in possession of the 30
little fellows.
His smile then increased until it rip
pled around the baek of his neek, as he
received a huge 40 pounder.
The answer did not seem at all receiv
ed, though a great many remained, aud
all larger than any given out.
Another one weighing over forty
pounds was given out, and the buyer
called for another.
But just here hi» little game was stop
ped.-
As the owner reached for it the man
on tho driver’s seat called for a halt by
informing him that the others in tho
wato i was his. The seller stopped, and
raid he hail forgotten the fact, aud call
ed for the money for those sold.
The buyer turned red and said :
“No sir. 1 don’t pay until 1 get them
all. You said you would sell them at
ten cents apiece at your pick, and I want
more.”
“1 liavn’t got any more. 1 said I
would sell you my melons at ten cents
and have done so. Nothing was sain
about taking all iu the wagon, though
if they were mine, of course I would
have let you have ’em.”
“These little things aint worth noth
ing,” said the buyer in angry tones,
“and if 1 had done the picking at your
price, you’d have sold as many as 1
wanted.”
“Maybe my friend would have,” was
the reply, “but I couldn’t. Now come
up with the lucre. You have made mu
do the picking aud I have picked ’til
all are gone, and can’t pick any moro.
That’s all there was in tho agreement,
and I want tho money.”
This sort of back-talk was engaged in
for quite a while, and gradually the fact
that the conntryman was right was im
pressed upon the buyer, and he Anally
paid for his lot, but with very poor
grace.
A little crowd had gathered by this
time aud he sneaked out amidst mauy
jeers.
Our countryman pocketed his change,
and drove off with a self-satisfied smile
on hit countenance.
When last seen he was selling the rest
of his melons at 30 cents apiece.
By patronizing the Bannrr he sold
a lot of little melons at a good price.

TORTURES OF THE ACCURSED.
Nkw York, August 4.—In a darken
ed room, at 20 Garrison street, Newark,
****** J r5
Xcnninger, who died a horrible death
last night, having writhed for hours
with the agonies of hydrophobia. The
boy, who was 12 years old, was bitten
on tlie left leg and hand by a strange
dog last May while playing in the street
in front of his step-fatlier’s bouse. The
wounds healed nicely, but were not cau
terized. Tim boy felt no alarm and
there were no symptoms of hydropho
bia until yesterday morning, when be
complained of pains iu h s head and
lower limbs.
lie became so ill that he had to go to
bed, and his step-father, Geerge Meyer,
summoned Dr. Hermann H. (;. 1L mi!
who at once pronounced the boy a vic
tim of hydrophobia. He )>ecamc worse
so rapidly that his removal to St. Mi
chael’s hospital was determined upon.
There he experienced the most fright-
agony ere. he died. He was in a high
fever. His eyes were Axed and glassy,
and he was seized with the most fright
ful spasms every few minutes. Two
sisters of 8t. Francis cared for him. He
seemed to understand what was said to
him, but when he would try to respond
his utterances could not be understood,
being something between the sound of
a dog’s bark and a moan. Water was
ottered to him. He seized the glass ea
gerly and tried to drink but could not.
Throwing the glass from him he went
into a violent spasm, frothing at the
mouth, surging and trying to run
around the house on his all-fours like a
dog. He was conscious all the time and
made a brave Aght for life. It was pit
iable to see him try to swallow wa
ter. He seemicd to crave the drink but
could not force it down, and after each
failure would go ofi' into a violent
spasm. During such attacks it required
the united strength of the Sisters and
Dr. Herrold to hold him down in tlie bed
and prevent him from injuring himself
or others. During the spasms he would
snap at the Sisters or any one else who
came near him.
Hyperdcrnrie injections of chloral and
bromide were administered to alleviate
the lad’s sufferings, but they did not
seem to have the slightest ellbet on him.
Teward evening his strength failed him
and he was not so violent, but the
spasms increased in frequency, and bis
last hour of life was one of such torture
that even thtfgentle Sisters felt relieved
when death put ati end to his sufferings.
On the same day that young Nenin ti
ger was bitten, Walter Eagan, 14 years
old, who lived across tho street from
him, was also bitten by the same dog.
Eagan was taken ill soon afterward and
died in great agonj’ on June 2. It was
reported at the time that he had died of
hydrophobia, but this his parents ami
the physician who ai tended him denied.
They said spinal meningitis was the
cause of death. It is now believed that
young Eagan was also the vieti-a of hy
drophobia. Tho dog which bit both
boys was not killed, but it has disap
peared:

strange graveyard story is made public

Merztown, where the ccmotery is locat
ed. Daniel Trexler died and was bu
ried several years. Strangers say the
gravestone put up at hit grave cannot
be kept in place, even when the closest
watch is kept. A witch doctor said
that this was caused by tbe fact that
the spirit of the deceased could not rest
ns long as tho burial place was there.
The relatives of tbe deceased claim that
it u the work of some malicious per
sons. Others declare it is a fact, and
that a circle around the .supposed new
grave, where the witch wants the body
transfered, is swept by a broom by the
spirit until it is even as a lloor.

mob, Adam Young o^Enimetsville.Ind.,

caj>e to-day from lynching. The cause
of Young's rough treatment was & bru
tal assault made upon the Rev. Father
Fcssler of St. Joseph’s Cathedral at the
home of the Clergyman about noon to
day. Young went to the door of the
priest’s home and demanded something
to eat. Before Father Fessler could
doge the tramp struck him on the neck.
The priest ran out the back door with
Young in pursuit The clergyman was
overtaken by his assailant, knocked
down pounded in the face and his nose
smashed. By this time a crowd had
congregated. Some one shouted “Hang
tlie brute.’ ’ A rope was placed around
the neck of the tramp and but for the
timely arrival of a policeman would
have been dangling in the air from a
large tree near by. Young was put in
jail. -
