Instead of one park, Athens will have
t*tio: these beautiful breathing places
for her citizens—the Prince Avenue
park, and another—carved from the
bautiful forest and secluded nooks on
the Lilly lauds. There will be no ri-
v.tliy between the parks or land compa
nies, for there will be enough new em

properties. It is merely a question of
choice as to which section of the city
jou destre to settle or invest your mon

lint wo all know that the foundation
of any city is its manufacturers. Well,
there will be no lack of these industries.
Not less than a dozen new factories are
under consideration, and by next year
there will probably be twice that many
in course of erection. Not only our own
citizen*. hut strangers from abroad
stand ready to invest their money here
in machinery.
Alrefdy a company has been formed
with a large capital, to build an ice fac
tory and chemical works. They will
tint only be prepared to supply the
whole surrounding country with ice,
but will largely manufacture guano,
acid mid other ingredients for fertili

Tliere is another company formed
from among our wealthiest citizens to
dart to build in Athens a third foundry
ami machine works, which will be oue
w the largest in the State. The spe-

cultural machinery. It will give em
ployment to a large number of skilled
mechanics.

The Convention to Begin In Savannah
Tuesday Week.
Yesterday’s Banxkr gave an account
of the convention of the Grand Lodge
of Odd Fellows of the State, and that of
the Encampment, stating as the time
next Tuesday. This was a mistake, as
the convention does not begin until
Tuesday week, and continue from that
time for three days.
Besides the gentlemen mentioned,
many others are contemplating going,
and it is thought that a large delegation
will be on hand to represent the Ath-
en’s Lodges.
Cheap rates have been secured, and
the fare for the round trip will be only
about five dollars.
They Can’t Do It.—An Athens law
yer tells us that the disciples of Black-
stone, of Gainesville, are making a big
effort to secure the greater part of the
practice of Jackson county. He has
just returned from Jefferson, and says
there were quite as many Gainesville
lawyers on band as those from Athens,
aud they are doing their best to get
ahead of the gentlemen from our city.
They have undertaken a big job, and
when any city downs Athens lawyers
w e want to hear of it. As a gentleman
remarked the other day, “AtbeuB has
the best bar in the State.”

Kind Words From Our Exchanges
Concerning Them--The Outlook
For the Next Session.
Athens is the educational centre Of
the Smith.” Jlow many times have
you seen that expression in print?
We venture to assert that the number
wil run way up in the thousands, and
it came under tl:e head of that equaily
mucli used saying “trite but true.”
How true it is can best be understood
bv noticing the great number of pupils
who come to seek the advantages offered
by our city. These are not only great
in number, but excellent in quality as
well, as is shown by the records of those
gentlemen and ladies who have acquired
their education in the colleges and
schools located here.
Another demonstration isjthe opinion
f those who have come here aud drunk
more or less deeply at the fount of
learning. Many of the graduates of the
State University are now at the head of
papers in the State, and readers of these
always find some kind words for the
University itself and the other institu
tions of learning in our city.
It is needless to try to add anything
to the glorious reputation of our Uni
versity, as the grand array of names of
those who have been prominent in the
State speaks for her past record.
The future is brighter than it has
over licen before, and Hie friends of the
college are more thoroughly enthused
than at any t : mc in the past.
Chancellor Boggs has only been with
us a year, but in that tiino has clearly
demonstrated liis eminent capability to
till the position. Besides being at the
bead of the institution and attending
to all its affairs in the best manner, he
fills a chair in the University—that of
mental and moral philosophy and polit-
cal economy.
As instructor in these studies, his su
perior cannot be found, and those who
have been under him are enthusiastic in
their praise of his ability and method
of teaching.
During the past term it has been the
object of the Chancellor aud Professors
to raise the standard, and work for the
upbuilding of tho University, especial-
ly in regard to the quality of the stu
dents. No idlers are wanted, and none
who will retard the elasses in their pro
gress. The course Was always been a
high one, and one which could not be
completed without a good amount of
work, but the gentlemen who are in
charge desire to plaee the standard so
tar above all others South of Virginia
as to put the University beyond com
parison with colleges.
A good start in this direction has al
ready been made, and they do not pro
pose to slack in their efforts until their
highest wishes and hopes are made real.
The plan to be adopted in the entrance
examinations next fall have already
been given in these columns as stated
by the Cbanoellor.
Briefly, no applicant is to be allowed
to enter a class without standing a most
rigid examination, and proving himself
eminently qualified and prepared to
take up the course of study prescribed,
and push with rapidity and understand
ing through it.
Last year, many were turned away
because of their incapability,and though
a loss was sustained in numbers, it was
more than compensated for by the great
increase in quality.
That Explosion.—The explosion re
ported from Madison county: recently
resulted in the death of only one of the
hands, so a gentleman from that county
informs us. Some five or six of the
others were more or less injured, how
ever, and it was a wonder that more
were not killed.
A Happy Makriagk.—Day before
yesterday in Oconee county were mar
ried Mi • Joe Elder and Miss Cora An
derson. The groom has many friends
in this city, where he is well-known.
The bride is one of Oconee’s fairest
daughters, and congratulations are ex
tended the happy couple from all sides.
DIED IN OCONEE COUNTY.
The Soul of Mrs. J. W. Brlghtwe^, of
Athens Passes Away.
Th’e sad news reached the eity yester
day of the death of Mrs. J. W. Bright-
well in Oconee county the day before.
Mrs. Brightwell had been in bad
health for a long time, but it was hoped
that she would be improved by thff
country air and return home strong and
She was at the home of her parents
near Farmington, and her husband had
been with lier a few hours before her
death.
He was in the city, however, when
she passed away, and left yesterday,
accompanied by his brother for Oconee
county. '
Mrs. Brightwell was a most estimable
lady, and was blessed with a great
many friends in the city and surround
ing country, who now mourn her loss
deenlv.
She leaves three children, who vvill
miss the tender love and training cf a
mother. To these and to her numer
ous relatives and friends wc extend our
sympathies.
Besides our University, we have the
finest Female Institute in the State, and
one that is recognized as such by all who
have knowledge of such institutions.
The Lucy Cobb Institute has gradua
ted some of the fairest and most intel
lectual ladies Of our State, and every
eity in it contributes pupils to the col
lege each year.
Miss Rutherford is one of, if not the
best instructress in the South, and
she lias a just reputation for an extreme
ly high degree of intellectuality.
She is assisted by a corps of assist
ants in every branch of learning which
may be of pleasure or use to ladies, and
besides lectures are contributed by pro
fessors of the University and other gen
tlemen in special studies.
The school was very prosperous last
term, aud the outlook for an increased
attendance is exceedingly bright.
Then there is the Home School.
This is just what its name implies.
It is a srliool in which the pupils are
cared for as if they were at their homes,
and is under the tender eharge of Mad
am aud Miss Sosnowski. These ladies
can not be overreached by any in intel
lectual accomplishments, and exert a
most beneficial and tender influence
over the scholars. It is a proverbial
fact of the great love and admiration
which the pupils bear towards these la
dies, and they justly deserve it from
those over whom they have so carefully
watched.
Mrs. E. A. Crawford also recently
opened a private school for young la
dies here, and has met with the great
success h r qualifications deserve.
Her school has been well patronized
by some of Augusta’s fair daughters,
and these will testify to the excellent
training they received.

—'The Vote for Commlssloner--The
Details of the Meeting—The
Platform Adopted-
The public schools of Athens have a
deserved reputation, and under the
skilled superintendence of Prof. Bran
son have prospered greatly.
The teachers of the various grades ore
all well informed in the various branches
taught. The schools are in a most ex
cellent condition, and a much larger
number attended them last year than
ever before.
This is a brief summary of our schools
and no praise would be too extravagant
for any of them.
Columns could be written on the su
perior advantages of each, and in praise
of the University volumes could be
given.
'The good these have done the city is
incalculable, and Athens has just cause
to rejoice in tho possession of them as
she does.
Truly our educational advantages are
unsurpassed.
BURIAL OF KEMMLER.
What Is Left of Him Is Interred In the
Prison Burying Ground.: t
Special by News Telegram Association.
Aobukn, N. Y., August 8.—It was
an unpretentious funeral that occurred
from the Auburn state prison at an ear
ly hour this m iming. What the sur
geons had left of the remaius of Wil
liam Kenimler had been placed in. a
plain pine coffin.
The coffin had then been filled in with
quick lime. No clergy man was present
aud no religious word was uttered.
The family of the dead murderer hail
failed to claim his body and it was in
terred as tlie law directs.
Atlanta. Ga., August ft.—Ar early
as eleven o’clock a crowd begun to ar
rive, everybody being anxious, it seem
ed to get a good seat. Familiar faces
were to be seen on all sides. Prominent
among tbc delegates were noticed many
of the niemlierv of the
last legislature, and a goodly propor
tion of those who have been chosen to
represent their counties in the next.
There was tho hum and bustle charac
teristic of such a gathering, without a
break until the stentorian voice of the
very Honorable Bill Harris, of Worth,
b iseeehing the delegates of the second
district to come up to the stand. For
some reason or other the delegates from
the second district failed to respond
promptly and call after call of the hon
orable Bill failed to bring them. Each of
his requests called forth a ripple of ap
plause and decidedly calls of louder,
louder.
Steve Ulay, who is one of the princi
pal Lester Hustlers, was in every place
at the same lime, or as nearly s7f*"Ss a
man could well be.
Mark Ilardiu was on hand, of course,
and back in tho clerk’s room Col. Bob
Burner and Col. Evan Howell, were
noticed in consultation.
John Temple Graves who it is under
stood is to plaee Col. Northen’s name
before the convention, came in about a
quarter before twelve end was soon tile
centre of interested crowds. Graves
was a pupil of Col. Northen’s and is
one of bis most enthusiastic admirers.
After him Jim Smith, of Oglethorpe,
vrfll second the nomination followed by
one of Bibb’s delegates, probably Wash
Dessau, who, by special request of Col.
llendersoD, will second the nomination.
Then Judge Frank Little, on behalf
of Col. Northen’s home people in Han
cock, will say a word for him.
The crowd grows thicker and thicker.
Emmett Womack, who is a candidate
for permanent chairman is shaking
bands with bis friends everywhere.
Gus Little aud W. Y. Atkinson arm
in arm oceupy the speaker’s chair and
are discussing the same proposition.
Little was talked of for the plaee, but
tbe Nesbitt and Uunnicutt men it is an
nounced have combined on Atkinson,
who is a strong llunnicutt worker.
This combination, it was understood,
was made in tbe interest of the combi
nation between Nesbitt and Hunnicutt,
but it seems at this writing as if the de
feat of Emmett Wotaack may result iu
the election of Henderson, proving a.
boomerang in its reaction upon the peo
ple who conceived it.
As the hands of the great clock move
on toward to noonday hour the aisles
are filled with delegates who cannot
find seats and of others who are en
deavoring to get seats by the delegates
from their homo counties. Of course
that gives rise to a great deal of confu
sion, but it will soon quit down.
Promptly at twelve o’clock handsome
Bob Burner of the executive commis-
siou for order and in a speech full of
good democratic doctrine called the oon-
venton to order.
Hardeman, of Jones, then proposed
the name of Dr. DeJarnettc.of Putnam.
Judge Gibson, of Richmond, iu a
short speech indorsed the speech of
Chairman Berner, and presented the
name of Hon. W. D. Kiddoo, of Ran
dolph, for temporary chairman. Mr.
Roberts, of Douglasvillc, seconds tin*
name of Mr. Kiddoo in a
short speech. The chair announces that
Mark Hardin and Bill Harris will act
as secretaries to call the roll. The call
of the roll developed the fact that the
Nesbitt and Hunnicutt men were sup
porting Kiddoo to make a show of their
strength. The Henderson people didn’t
seem to catch on to this aud a good
many of them voted forjudge Kiddoo.
Tiie result of the count showed over
200 votes for Kiddoo, and upon motion
of Joe Gross, of Polk county, seconded
by Bill Harris; he was declared tbe
unanimous choice of the convention.
He was escorted to the chair by the
committee and upon being introduced
made a short talk.
Mark Hardin, H. H. Cabiniss, Bill
Harris and Eugene Speer were chosen
a- temporary secretaries, and then upon
motion of Hon. W. A. Little, of Colum
bus, the counties were instructed to send
up to the chair their credentials. This
work consumed nearly half the hour
Then upon motion of the effervescent
statesman from Worth, it was decided
to go into the election of permanent of
ficers.
Mr. Donaldson presented the name of
W. Y. Atkinson, of Coweta. This an
nouncement was greeted with great ap
plause. Col. Peek, of Rockdale, pre
sented the name of Emmett Womack.
It was evident from the start that At
kinson was the man.
This was another attempt by the
Nesbitt and Hunnicutt men to show
their strength, but the Henderson men
also voted;for Atkinson, and the humor
ous gentlemen from Newton was badly
snowed under. Emmett, however,
came up smiling with the announce
ment that he perceived that something
over ISO of his good friends had re
quested him to retire from the race, and
he was glad to be able to grant their re
quest. He therefore moved to make
the nomination of Col. Atkinson unan
imous, which was promptly done, and
Col. Atkinson was escorted to the chair
by a committee appointed for that pur
pose. Col. Atkinson made an animated
speech accepting the position.
Mr. Hoke bmith moved an order of
business and that the convention pro
ceed at once to the nomination in the
following order:
First Governor, second Secretary of
State, third, Treasurer, fourth, Comp
troller General, fifth, Attorney Gener
al and sixth Commissioner of Agricul
ture. Mr. Qlenu, of Whitfield, moved
to amend the original resolution by in
serting the selection of a committee of
resolution, and Mr. Jack Spalding
moved to amend by adding that all res
olutions presented to go to the vote of
the committee without debate. This
resolution was adopted as amended.
Mr. Dessau moved that the chair put
ou the corami'tee on resolutions two
from the State at large in addition to the
one from each congressional district.
This was adopted.
John Temple Graves recognized. As
he moved towards the chair it was no
ticed by his friends that he did not look
in his usual health, but he started what
promised to be a brilliant presentation
tion of the name of Georgia’s
next govertior. He spoke about five
minutes, but could not proceed. He
almost fainted and at several times
stopped. An effort was made to ad
journ, that the speech might be heard
after dinner. But with characteristic
grit he rose on his feet and with a pret- I
tv tribute to the worth of tbe iuhii pie- ;
Rented lo the convention the name of
Hon. W. J. Northern Col. Jim .Smith, !
of Oglethorpe, us per the programme
seconded the nomination as a represen
tative farmer. He was followed by j
Hon. Bart Bateman, of Houston and ’
by Hon. Frank Little, of Hancock, j
lion. W. J Northen was then declared !
elected by a standing vote.
Then the chair appointed tho follow

M. L. Everett, B. H. Williams, R. U.

Bob Hardeman, Bill Harris nominating. ?
Then Bob Nesbitt, of Macon, presented ;
(lie name of Capt, W. A. Wright for
Comptroller General, and this like t4w
others went through by acclamation.
There were calls, then, for an ad
journment, but all these were cried
down. Then came nominations
for Attorney General. Steve Clay,
back under tbe gallery, his boy
ish face beaming with tbe fire
of eloquence, stepped forward to pre
sent the name of his fellow-townsman,
J udge Lester. The ex-Speaker never
made so eloquent a speech before, and
never was oraror greeted with more en
thusiastic applause.
Then came Henry Richardson. In
burning words of eloquence he told of
Clifford Anderson’s service as a gallant
confederate solder, and of his splendid
services as attorney general. 11c, too,
was armly received.
Then Price Gilbert and John Shan
non, both boyish and eloquent,seconded
Anderson and Lester respectively, and
the voting began.
Special counties were cheered. Sev
eral counties voted for Lester, announc
ing that they did so under instructions,
though their hearts were elsewhere.
For a short time the totals ran close to
gether, but then Lester drew ahead,the
total showing Lester 200; Ando son,136.
As the 171, 173,175, 175 line was passed
there was great cheering by tbe Lester
men.
Elom Christian, of Douglass, nomi
nated without form R. T. Nesbitt.
Then VV. A. Turner, of Coweta, nam
ed J.B. Hunnicutt.
- And M J. Branch, of Columbia, pre
sented tbe name of Judge Henderson.
Then tbe voting began- It was close
between Nesbitt aud Henderson all the
way through, but right at the last Nes
bitt drew two ahead,the totals showing
Nesbitt, 142; Hendetson, 140; Hunni
cutt, 55.
The second ballot began under a good
deal of confusion,over which the speak
ers gavel eoul 1 have no control. With
this ballot Henderson drew ahead, tbe
total at tbe close being,Henderson, 146;
Nesbitt, 141; Hunnicutt, 49.
The third ballot showed changes from
Hunnicutt to Nesbitt. The totals this
time were, Nesbitt, 152; Henderson,
137; Hunnicutt, 44.
The platform as reported by the oom-
mittee on resolutions is as follows:
Tbe Democratic party of Georgia in
convention assembled hereby renews its
pledges to tbe political principles set
forth in the national democratic plat
form of1SS8.
We favor correcting all the abuses of
