THE FARMERS MUST MEET COMBINA
TION WITH COMBINATION.
Every day tlie coils of cap'slalisls
and protected industries are tighten
ing around our farmers, and these
extortioners grow more outrageous
iD their demands.
The latest trust formed is in edge
tools, aud the price of axes—an ars
tide of necessity—has been advan
ced 334 per cent. How much higher
prices will reach is only guaged by
the consciences of these heartless
extortioners. Each week trusts seize
upon some new article of necessity
to the people, that, by combination,
they may wring additional profit out
of the helpless masses.
The farmers arc the especial prey
and victims of these conspirators,
and under ourproteclive tariff laws,
they aie as helpless in their clutches
as an infant. The strong arm of the
government is thrown around them,
and yet the farmers—the class on
whom depends the support and pros.-*
perity of the land—are left at their
mercy.
And it now fatigues our indigna
tion to hear our Southern statesmen
and many business men so earnestly
and vehemently protesting against
the passage of the Sub-Treasury bill
— the only possible measure that can
place the tiller of the soil in a posi
tion where he can successfully com
bat these trusts and combinations.
Our protective tariff laws enable
manufacturers to meet and fix their
own prices for their goods, and the
farmer is forced to pay what they
demand.
Now, where is there any wrong or
injustice in passing a bill that will
place the farmer on an equal footing
with his adversaries—enable him to
control the prices of his crops ? Pass
this SubsTreasnry bill, and the far
mer can meet combination with com
bination. When tnej manufacturers
decide to advance the price of their
goods, the planter can then make a
proportionate advance in the price of
his grain or cotton. The government
protects the'one by giving him power
to crowd out competition and dictate
his own prices • now let it give the
farmer the Sub-Treasury bill, which
will enable him to hold hiB crops aud
fix his own prices.
How any patriotic man, who has
the general prosperity of his country
at heart, can oppose this Sub-Treas
ury bill, is beyond our comprehen
sion. It is the only bulwaik that
can be placed between the oppressed
tilier of the soil and the combina
tions, trusts and speculators, that
have entered into a conspiracy to
grind him into poverty.
AN ACT OF JUSTICE-
The Bannek is not a supporter of
Mr. J. T. Olive, aud does not believe
that it is to the interest of our peo
ple that be represent this district in
congress. We used every honorable
means in our power to defeat his
nomination, and the voters of the
district have endorsed us. But at
the same time, we believe in the
wishes of the people being observed,
and try to act with the same fairness
by an opponent as by a friend.
In the counties of Madison, Hart
and Elbert—carried by Mr. Colley—
Mr. Olive lead as second choice,
while Judge Lawson was far in the
rear. Yet in the face of this fact,
we have information that the alter*
nates in the two former counties are
strong Lawson^ men, as also is the
case in Franklin. carried by Olive,
with Colley closely following.
Now, such a selection is an injus-
tice both to Messrs. Colley and Olive
Judge Lawson was repudiated by all
of these counties, and yet his friends
ate trying to secure for him a sup
port that the people at the polls de»
nied. It seems to us, that if the dele
gates cannot agree upon a candidate,
they should give their vote to the
next strongest man in their county
In Madison, Hart and Elbert, this
would be Mr. Olive ; in Fraukiin
and Clarke, Mr. Colley.
We always oppose a candidate
with all our might and main \ but
when the battle is over, there {s no
one more ready to abide by the de
cision of bis party, or battle for its
nominee, than Tub Banner editor.
Jndge Lawson is a gentleman o
character and ability, and would
represent our district with honor ;
hut he is certainly not the choice of
the counties we have named. The
voice of the people should be the
voice of their representatives iu the
convention. If they cannot nomi
nate their first choice,as expressed at
the ballot-box, they should take the
next highest man on the list.
We have an abiding confidence,
however, in the wisdom and judg
ment of the delegates to our con
gressional convention, and believe
that out of the chaos, some good and
true man will he s, looted.
AN ELCE TOOL FACTORY IN ATHENS-
Mr. Al'eri Tnimadge, our enters
prising young hardware merchant,
has mapped out an enterprise that
will be a great thing for our city it
it is carried to a success, which we
believe will be the case. It is to
rai&e a stock company among the
hardwaic meiciiants and citizens of
Athens, with a capital of $50 000 or
$100,000, to establish a manufactory
in this city for edge tools, of which
axes will be a specialty. He will
also interest in tbe enterprise dealers
from the neighboring towns and
cities. The recent advance ol 33^
per cent in axes lias encouraged Mr
Talmadge t<» undertake to raise the
company. Of course the manufac
turers were making a good profit
even before this last advance, and it
is reasonable to suppose that they
now clear 50 per cent, on their in
vestment. This eompan}- will be an
anti-trust concern, and its axes gen
erally adopted by the farmers all
over Georgia and the South. This
will be onlj- an experimental plant,
and so soon as it is woiked up to a
success, the manufacture of hoes,
picks and other edged tools will be
added. The neanst axe factory is at
Louisville, Ky., and the new compa
ny will have a broad Held for selling
their goods.
It is such enterprises as this that
builds up a city, and we are anxious
to see Mr. Talmadge given every en
couragement in ids great movement.

TRYING TO ROB A R. Si D. PASSEN
GER TRAIN.
Night Before Last Near Lexington—
A Judge Organizes a Posse on the
Train—The Would be Robbers Es
cape.
Special by News Telegram Association.
Charlotte, I\~. C-, August 12.—Pas
senger train No. 53, going north, on tbe
lticlim nd and Danville, which left At
lanta yesterday, came nearly being
held up and robbed near Lexington,
about sixty miles north of Charlotte.
As the train pulled into that station
last night two strange looking men en
tered the coach next to the express car.
Their actions seemed to indicate that
they were not on hoard aa ordinary
passengers, but bad other business on
hand. When the train had gone about
six miles one of the men deliderately
pulled the bell cord, signaling the en
gineer to stop.
I aptain E. T. Morris, the conductor,
chanced to be entering the ear from the
rear at tliu time, and seeing the man
pull the bell cord, rushed up and de
manded an explanation. This ho failed
to get. The two strangers began to be
tray their mission by tlieir looks and
actions, and so the conductor at once
hurried into another ear, at the same
time signaling the engineer to keep go
ing. R. P. Dick, federal judge, hap
pened to be among the passengers, aud
Captain Morris requested him to arrest
the would-be robbers.
The judge at once summoned a posse
on board the train and started io enter
the car to perfect tlie arrest, hut the
men seeing them coming seemed to take
in the situation. Rushing to the plat
form they plugned headlong from the
train which was spinning along at the
rate of fifty miles per hour. The men
were heavily armed. Some of the pas
sengers feared at first that they had re
ceived a visit from the notorious Rube
Burrows.
But as their plans so completely mis
carried this is not now believed, and
the suppo-ition is that two strangers
were simply mountain “toughs” who
had made up their minds to try iheir
luck on holding up trains.

A LIVELY MEETING.
To be Held In Dcuglasville Thursday
Next.
Atlanta, August 12.—[Special.]—
There is every indication of a decidedly
lively political meeting at Douglasville
on Thursday. The executive committee
having called a mass meeting to take
into consideration the senatorial situa
tion in the 30th. That is the district
which nominated Joe Terrell and in
which that egregious nuisance Snclsou
is trying to kick up a row. Hudson's
record in the last House is remembered.
He completely disgusted everybody who
watched his actions and wrote himself
down as complete a demagogue as ever
showed his head in tlie legislature. How
he could have any following whatever,
is beyond the ken of people outside of
his county arid disrriet; and yet he has
succeeded in making some people think
him a martyr. After the Fairburn con
vention in which Snelson and his forces
were defeated, there was a good deal of
talk about his running as an indepen
dent, but nothing further has been
beard of that unless this D niglass meet
ing bears upon this matter. It was Dr.
Whitley, of the Douglass delegation,
whose vote nominated Terrell and liis
action, it is said, created a good deal of
dissatisfaction. The Doctor will prob
ably be called upon to tell his reasons
for voting for Mr. Terrell, and be will
doubtless be able to do so.
Hneljon’s talk of running as an inde
pendent gets no endorsement from th ■
Alliance headquarters. Nor, indeed,
does any independentism. The official
organ of tlie Alliance talks out plainly
on this subject, condemning independ
entism from whatever source it may
come, and declaring that Alliancemen
in politics are Democrats and nothing
else. If Snelson does run he will be
overwhelmingly defeated.

ter, born two years before her marriage
to his father, and the young man at
tempts suicide. Such was the sensa
tional revelation that startled Irviug-
ton-on-the-Hndson to-day. The parties
were Mrs. Collins, for several years the
widow of a wealth}’ contractor, her son
Henry and her supposed nice-*, Miss
Nellie Richardson, who had been an in

young man had to be told the truth,
jtfis affianced was his mother’s illegiti
mate daughter. Shortly after hearing
this dread secret he sent a bullet into
his head, but only succeeded in inflict
ing a scalp wound. The girl is sad to
