This great mea- r ::<- of relief for our struggling far mers is as indelibly fixed in the platform of the Alliance as the laws o the Medes and the Persians. This t ,realization well knows that to se- c :a- the passage of this bill they mu't elect to congressmen who are p ciiged to its support. The Hues have beeu drawn on members of the llouii*, and a majority of Georgia’s co! cri -si on a I delegation will be sup- pi..t<Ta of the Sub Treasury bill.

In his letter to Editor Brown of the Alli ance Farmer, he systematically dodged that great issue. Tli is won’t do, General Gordon V u must toe the mark, and declare yourself on that great issue. The Alliance most properly considers that he who is not for the Sub-Treas ure bill is against it. The Alliance is this year voting for principles, and not men.

Let these old defeated ringsters g* ah their teeth and howl. The people of the Palmetto State have at last been aroused,and the politicians and bosses are consigned to oblivion, where they will remain for many a long year, we sincerely hop*. A MOUNTAIN MAIDEN. INCONSISTENT ALLIANCEMEN. We see that the Georgia Agricul tural Society has endorsed John B. Gordon for United States Senator. This body is not a fair representa tion of the farmers of our State—for there are as many or more profes sionals and merchants in its ranks tha » tillers of the soil. But among its delegates are a number of Alliance- men—and men holding high office in the order at that. Now, these same men, when the race for congress was made iu their respective districts, very properly demanded that every candidate des Clare himself for the SuhaTreasury bill before they would support him But here we see them presenting the inconsistent spectacle of endorsing a man for U. S. Senator,without even knowing or asking how he stands on this great measure of relief for our farmers. These Ailiancemen certainly know that it is even more important to have this Sub-Treasury bill support ed in the Senate than the House—for in this branch the hardest fight over it will be made. We cannot under stand their position ub Ailiancemen* If they are true to their order and its demands in one place, they should be also true in another. And yet we read that leading Alliaucemen are giving their influence and their votes toward the election of a U. S. Sena tor, who has never as yet said wheth er he was for or against the very bil they have made an issue in every congressional district. Thk Banner will cheerfully sup port Gen. Gordon for Senator if he declares himself for the SubsTreas- nry bill—otherwise we will oppose him. We have enlisted with the Alliance to the end, and will stand by them.

When Bi n TillmaD, the farmer’s candidate, was making the race tor Governor in South Carolina, the ohi bosses and politicians charged that he had slandered the good name of his State, and was trying to wreck the democratic party. These state ments Mr. Tillman denied, and the I't q.le vindicated him by an over whelmingly majority—snowing un der the old leaders by such a shower "• ballots as were never before known The politicians were routed horse, but aud dragoon, and the Alliance secured a sweepiug victory. Every tree democrat and fair-minded man would have conceded the victory to Tillman and bis party, and accepted the result in good faith. But not so with these old moss- back leaders. They could not bear lo see the reins of power pass hum their hands—where they hail remained for generations—and the government go into the control oi a class that they had always looked with disdain, and considered 011 i.v worthy to vole as they dictated when the State convention met, l,,e v «ry men who had, from every s'ump in the State, so recently ' barged Mr. Tillman and his sups porters w ilh being organized to de- VjVl - v Hie democratic party, were the 'cry ones to threaten to bolt the invention, and are demanding un reasonable and undemocratic con- ccssions from the majority.

The Allianccmeu of Georgia and the Southern Slates aie not alone in their demands for the passage of the Sub-Treasury bill, but the Western farmers are as loud and clamorous for ibis measure of relief and pro tection as are our cotton-growers. The farmers of Kansas are aroused, as also every grain-growing State. T.tey are nominating out-and-out Sub-Treasury congressmen, and say they will elect them, too. The pros peel now is the Alliance will have such a strong representation in the uext House, that their demands will be heeded. it was the attitude of the Alliance more than any other cause, that killed the Force bill—for the op pressed and down-trodden agricul turalists of our country demanded that sectional issues be dropped and their law-makere look to their relief. The Alliance is to day the ruling power in both the South and West. The farmers of these two sections have bridged the bloody chasm, and arc now banded together for their common interest and protection. A MISTAKE. A Card from Mr. Colley Correcting Statement.

One Will be Built and In Operation Be fore Next January. There is no longer any doubt about Atlieus having an electric street rail way. The enterprise is as good as set tled.

The best and most improved c-rs will be used on the new line, and with ibis rapid inotor, it wili be only a twelve miles rule from the extreme limits of the city to the bn-lness centre. This electric railway will be a great b.-rf>ni for Athens, and people will be -oyetyjoyed to liear of its jsyeqess. A number of the readers of the Ban ker remember the young girl who lived near Tugalo some years ago, and crea ted so much wonder among all who wit nessed her in her mind readingattempts. Those who allowed her to attempt to read their thoughts, or whether willing or not, if they allowed her to merely take one of their hands in one of hers, thus giving her power an opportunity to assert itself,were more than astonish ed, and were mysteriously bewildered by the marvellous accuracy with which their most secret thoughts were told b\- her. As stated above, there are a number of our citizens who can and do testify in enthusiastic language to the extraor dinary power she possessed, but there are many who have never even heard of her, as she was not allowed to exhibit her power to strangers, and all who were present at any time were asked not to advertise the matter. Her par ents were dead, ami those under whose charge she was were unwilling for her to be brought before the public as a spiritualist. Yesterday a Banner reporter talked with a lady of this city, who had wit nessed an exhibition of the girl’s won derful power, and whose thoughts had been read by her. She gives some very interesting facts, and while disclaiming ail belief in spir itualists, is absolutely certain that the young girl in question possessed a most mysteriously marvelous faculty of read ing minds. According to our informant,the young girl was born and bred in a little moun tain hut on Currahee mountain. Her parents were of a better class than the average Georgia mountaineer, but lived in a fashion similar to them, and until their death the child had no compan ions save the birds of the air and the mountain animals. Over these she possessed a peculiar and powerful fascination, and for days at a time she wandered over the inoun- taius, then the resort of wild and fero cious animals, alone, except for the company of feathered songsters and un tamed—except for her—animals. She was truly a child of nature, and her early habits were never totally (.lone away with. Before the death of her parents, both had noticed wonderful things done by their child, and spoke of her as being super-human. It was not until after their death, and the removing of the child to a new home, however, that the power of mind reading was noticed. She was taken in charge by a family of most excellent people living near Toccoa, who, learning that the child was left alone, out of their kind- heartedness, gave her a position. An attempt was made to educate her, as she seemed to possess a wonderful acuteness, and raise her up almost like one of tbe family. The confinement was too much for her, however, and she longed to again be with her frieuds of the forest. When asked why she loved them, she said they understood her better than humans, and she could talk to them with more pleas ure. She also said she understood them, and what they told her was “so much prettier” than what she heard from people. Of course all this was looked upon as childish prattle by everyone, but atten tion was drawn to her, and many pe culiarities were noticed. Occasionally she would sit for hours doing nothing, with her eyes wide open, and her appearance being’similar to that of a somnambulist. When spoken to in this condition, she would either not an swer at all, or in a far away voice, as if she heard, but did not understand. After arousing himself, and being asked what she was doing, her invariable answer was, thinking. Though thi3 was remarked as being peculiar, uo especial importance was at tached to it until one day, one of the family feeling sorry for her, sat beside her and clasped her hand. Still the girl remained motionless, her eyes gaz ing vaguely on space. Mrs. theu began thinking that the girl was losing her mind, when sud denly she turned, and gazing straight at her protector, said: “Do not think that.” •“What?” enquired Mrs. — “That 1 am crazy.” In astonishment, Mrs. — asked how* •he Knew of what she was thinking,am 1 , received for a reply that she “jus t knew.” From this time on tbe investigatioi w as pursued, and never did she fail 6 tell the thoughts of those who wotil<| clasp hands with her. When our informant first saw her. she was about sixteen years of age, *»■ | was strikingly beautiful. A peculiar soft expression was noticed by all, an and her eyes were simply entrancing She seemed very delicate, though inti: best of health. The la«y asked her if she would tr to read her thoughts, and being at. swered in the affirmative, placed he band in that of the girl. She says that as their hands met, thrill passed over her of mysterio* l| kind, and for her life she could not r move her eyes from those of the med : urn. She was completely and in the fu i sense of the word, fascinated, and b feeling was so mysterious as to begg. description. Tbe girl slowly began telling tl thoughts of our informant, correct i every point, until she whose mind w: being portrayed, in self defence, will drew btr hand. Others in the pan were anxious to prove that the thoughts could not be read, but oh a she tried she was completely successf u Many other points of interest cot cerning her could be given, but tbe.* are kept for another issue. Her death recurred some years agr and w is as strange as her previous lit Nothing seemed to be tne matter wi her, and doctors who were consult* could give no cause for her deelin She just faded away, and passed out < existence as quietly and calmly as i falling asleep. It was more ‘like a transformati*! than any thing els.. For months si said she was going to leave this wor >'■ jmd while in the best of health her pr* i* (fiction was fulfilled. It waa mysterio. ,i to all, and as expressed by one, “she slowly changed from an augel on earth to an augel in heaveu, merely moving from this earth.” The whole aflair is wonderful to those cognizant of the facts, and there is no doubt in their minds of her possessing the power of mind reading. There could have been no humbug about her as she was simply a plain mountain las* sie, with no knowledge of spiritualism. In Their New Quarters.—We call attention to the fact that the firm of I. Morris «fc Son have moved into tlieir new quarters, the store formerly occu pied by M. M. Maddrey, just one door below their former stand. As is well known. I. Morris JkJSon are among the -reliable staunch business houses of the city, carrying an immense stock of ready made clothing,dry goods, notions, etc. They now occupy one of the most commodious and handsomest establish ments in the city, and with increased facilities and abundant capital, will in crease their already established large and prosperous business. Against The LawSjuT clever and enterprising shoe nierehants, Messrs. E. I. Smith & Co. bought a lot of imi tation greenbacks, with their card printed thereon, to circulate as au ad vertisement; but after they had paid for same learned that it was a violation ef the United States laws, and they were destroyed. The agent must have known this when he sold the goods. The G., 0. & N. Leaders.—Hands a e at work now on the Atlanta end of the G., C. & N. road from the city lim its, on Huunieutt’s Jersey farm, to tbe Middle river. Dirt is being rapidly moved, and before our people can real ize, the trains will be running on this new line from Athens to Atlanta. The right of way through the city has not as yet been settled on. Will Not Run.—Archie Carey, the negro mentioned yesterday as the can didate of the negroes for the legislature, informs us that he will not make the race. This is the most sensible course he could pursue and his stand is but that of all the better class of his race. The Savannah bridge.—The bridge over the Savannah river, on the G., C. & N., is progressing finely.

TOBE MURRAY AND GSO. BONE THE PRINCIPALS. A Good Deal of Blood Spllt-But No Serious Damage Done-Both Re leased on Bond. There was a great deal of blood spilt yesterday afternoon, and Tobe Murray and George Bone furnished it. The fight occurred just back of the shoe shop opposite the Banner office, and attracted a large crowd. As to how it originally started there is some doubt, as the statements of the two sides are somewhat conflicting. However, there was some sort of a difficulty in the morning in the pool room under Hadaway’s store, but no fight took place. In the afternoon a lit tle before six the two were seen togeth er, each accompanied by a friend. They were seen to go over behind the shoe shop opposite the Banner office. An ticipating a fight, several followed iu a few moments. When they got there, blows had al ready been exchanged, and both men were decidedly bloody. Bone jumped on top of Murray, and was beating him up biully in the face. The foirner was bleeding from a gash on tiis head, and the latter from his nose and cuts in his face. A crowd gathered rapidly, and sev eral police came running up, and Bone was pulled off. A number of frieuds of each man EH Henry Hunter the Vic tim of an Uncalled- for Shooting.

Quillain, potor of Oco nee street church, has been quite afflict ed for the past few weeks. On his re turn from the District conference at Maysville, lie was first attacked. After a few days indisposition, he endeavor ed to engage in his work, but was un able to do so. He is suffering from nervous prostration, aud it may be sev eral weeks before he will lie able to at tend to his duties. He will probably take a trip to the mountains. Perfect rest and quiet is absolutely essential to bis recovery. Mr. Quillain has bad two attacks of a similar charter in the last 8 or 10 years, and it is feared this will be the most Serious of them all. Last Sabbath the pulpit of Oconee Street church was filled by Rev. W. R. Stilwell in the morning, while Mr. R Chappie conducted the services at night. Next Sunday the pulpit will be filled by some of the local ministers of the city as aUo the Wednesday evening prayer meeting. While the pastor can not attend to his ministerial duties, the regular services of his church will be conducted by different ministers in the city. Meantime we wish for Mr. Quil- lain a speedy recovery. FINE COTTON. The Stalks Breaking Down with Green Bolls—A Model Farmer. We never saw in our life such fields of cotton as Mr. W. S. Holman has on bis farm near the Rock College. There are no such ciops in tbe Mississippi bottoms—and if no calamity overtakes him, Mr. Holman will make two bale; or more per acre. Tuesday evening we walked into one of his fields, and the cotton was oertainljr a sight to see. The stalks were aa high as a man’s head, and from top to bottom laden down with green bolls. Some of tbe limbs were dropped to the ground with their burthen of fruit. Not only ou tbe lower limbs, but within a few inches of the top, we saw green bolls, while very few squares were falling otf. If the stalks continue to take ou fruit, we cannot see how they can bold it up. While Mr. Holman’s crop is excep tionally fine, news reaches us from all over this section that there was never known such a prospect for cotton, we can have plenty of sunshine mixed with tbe rain, our farmers will begin to see daylight ahead, and our mer chants do a splendid business. how rr occurred.

The Snelson fac tion of the senatorial district conven tion, met in Fairburn to-day. T. B. Swanson was elected chairman. Snel son was nominated unanimously. Tbe chairman appointed a district execu tive committee, one man from each county. The convention recommended the primaries for future nomination for senator, and cousolidation of votes for a nomination.

The water is sinking rapidly, aDd the water course above that point is almost dry. It is the general opin ion that every water-power mill on the river will cease running forever in day or two. Several thousand people visited the scene of the eruption to-day. Flashes Hunter was immediately attended to, but at the time of tbe departure of the negroes who brought the news, was un conscious and said to be dying. who iie is. Henry Hunter is one of tbe best known and most popular boys in Ath ens. He i3 the son of Mr. John Hunter, of Harmony Grove, and the nephew of Mr. Sam Hunter, of Orr & Hunter. He has been at work with the latter firm for a long time, and recently has been in charge of the dray line employed in hauling dirt for the G. C. & N. He is a bright amt attractive young man, of about twenty years, and if the news be true of his death, many sad hearts will mourn his loss. From the report rrceived, it looks as if he »as fatally hurt, but until certain news is received, hope remains. HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED IN ATHENS Soon after the negroes, Booker and Hampton brought the news to Hun ter’s relatives it became known over the town, and before ten o’clock little groups of excited people could be seen discussing the affair on every street cor ner. Others were 6ecn rushing hurriedly to and fro, and everybody seemed wrought up. Some were gallopiug about on horseback, others ratling over the streets iu buggies, and all in all tbe scene was a most exciting one. Soon some sort of an organization was per fected aud people began to prepare to leave for the scene of the shooting. Some left immediately and from then until eleven a perfect stream poured from the city of those going to the place of tbe killing In all there were at least one hundred who weut, and all efforts will be made to catch tne perpetrator of the crime. The pack of dogs belonging to Mr. Jim Smith, who lives about three miles from the camp, will be secured, aud put on the trail at once. IT MAY GO HARD WITH HIM.

A large crowd from Athens and other places were on hand, and they meant business. Mr. Autry’s dr gs arrived at one a. m., but some difficult*- was experi enced in getting them to take the track At this time the dogs of Mr. Smith were expected every moment, and the crowd was ready to follow them any where. The greatest excitement prevailed among all, and open threats were made of lynching him. It is thought he will head for his home in Memphis. He is a short, thick set and black negro, and be in a bad reputation. The men are determined, and that he will be caught is almost a foregone con clusion. THE BIGGEST YET.

It measures 23% inches iu diameter, or lacks % inch of measuring two feet t across. It is a hage looking flower, and ex cites much wonder from all who see it. And it ought to. Think of a flower over six feet in circumference. Capt.
