Wr 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, fry BtACltD^AUOHT toa for Dyspepsia. 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. Xo liniment is iu better repute or more widely known than Dr. J. II. McLean's Volean ic Oil Liniment. It is a wonderful remedy. Two Men Drowned While Boating, New Bedford, Mass., August 5.— Yesterday afternoon George T.

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.

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. Now is the time to subscribe. 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.

Young was put in jail. - Shot the Girl Who Discarded Him. Louisyillk, August 4.—A sensation al shooting took place in the eastern portion of this city [this morning.
