ATHENS BANNER TUESDAY MORNING- OCTOBER 1 1S90
INDEPENDENT LEGISLATIVE CANDI
DATES.
In defiance of the fact that Gov.
Gordon refused to *■ counsel” the
A running of independent candidates
in his interest for the United States
Senate, his friends had them out in
& arly every county in Georgia where
the democratic nominees refused to
commit themselves, for him. The
general impression is that Gordon is
to-day defeated, for this little inde
pendent game didn't work to a suc
cess. But if he does override the
Alliance and its principles and win
the fight, it will be at the sacrifice of
bis party. It is impossible for Gcv.
Gordon to secure enough votes
among the organized democratic
members of the legislature to elect
him.
No loyal and consistent Alliance-
man can support Gov. Gordon for
the Senate, in the face of his Atlanta
speech. He that night waved the
flag of defiance in the face of this or
ganization, and declared himself as
enlisted under the banner of their
enemies. For an Alliance represent
tative to now support Gordon for
the Senate would be to repudiate the
great principles of his order, and
surrender to the men who are so bit
terly fighting the order.

AHISTORICSPOT.
Near Greenwood, S. C., on the line
-of the G., C. & N. road, is a plaee
rich in historic interest—the old fort
and tunnel at Ninety-Six, and which
are in an excellent state of preserva
tion to day. A movement is now on
foot to erect a monument there by
South Carolina, to commemorate the
event. A writer in the Abbeville
Press & Banner gives the‘following
account o£ the seige and battle of
NinetysSix, and as it will soon be
brought near the doors of At hens
will be read with interest by our lib
erty-loving citizens :
‘‘There is in Abbeville county a
small village, which for nearly one
hundred and fifty years, has been
known by the name of Ninety-Six.
"At an early period in the history
v* South Carolina, Ninety-Six waa a
place of much importance. During
the Revolutionary war it increased
in importance.
"In 1781, the dark days of South
Carolina’s Revolutionary history, in
fact, the dark days in the history of
the colonies in their struggle for in
dependence, Ninety-Six was garri
soned by a strong British force uni.
der command of C**l. J. N. Cruger.
General Green then in command of
the Colonial forces in South Carolina
determined to make an assault on
Colonel Cruger, and if possible, cap.
ture the fort. In this he was aided
by the various American office!8.
“On the 22d day of May, 1781,
General Green reached Ninety^Six
and immediately began the seige.
Tue garrison consisted of about live
hundred and fifty men—all, I think,
loyalists and tories. The loyalists
were from New York and New Jer-
Of these there were three buna
dred and fifty. The remaining one
hundred and fifty were Sooth Caro
lina tories under the commaud of
Colonel King. General Green’s
forces amounted to less than one
thousand. This does not include
the militia, the number of whom was
never known.
‘ The seige was conducted by the
celebrated Kosciusco. who acted as
engineer. Green would have been
successful had not the garrison been
relieved by Rawdon, who, on the 7th
of June, marched from Charleston
with a large force for the defence of
the fort.
“On the 20th of June Gen. Green
raised the seige and led his forces to
a place of security. In the seige the
Americans lost in killed fifty-seven ;
wounded seventy; and missing twen
ty. This does-not include* the loss
in the militia companies.”

GEORGIA’S POPULATION.
Official s^ptements have been made,
says the Atlanta Journal, of the cen
sus returns of five of the six census
districts of Georgia. They show the
following gains in population over
the census of 1880: First district,
43,50ft; second district, 31,009;
third district, 61,096 ; fifth district,
93,096 ; sixth district, 36,015—total
of increase, 264,724. The population
Qf Georgia in 1880 was 1,542.180,
according to the censns of that year.
The addition of 264,724 for the five
census districts reported makes 1.
806,904.

THE ALLIANCE VICTORY IN GEORGIA.
Since the smoke of the Wednes
day’s conflict has cleared of!,it shows
a grand victory for the Farmers’ Al
liance. This organization will con
trol three fourths of the House and
Senate—besides electing a Governor
—and for the next two years have
supreme control of public affairs in
Georgia. Tbe farmers have flattened
in the teeth of their enemies the
slanders and accusations made
against the Alliance, and rebuked
the abuse that G »v. Gordon showered
upon their leading officers and
friends, by electing members to the
legislature who will vote against him
fur the U. S. Senate. The Gordon
organs are now trying to cajole tbe
Alliance into endorsing Gordon for
the Senate, but they will not succeed.
The farmers have not forgotten that
these same papers have bitterly
fought their organization from its
infancy, and loudly applauded when
Gov. Gordon turned his vials of
wrath loose upon the heads of their
friends. Besides, they secretly and
openly encouraged the running ol
independent candidates against the
the Alliance nominees, and did any
and everything in their power to
crush out of existence their organi -
zation. But Gov. Gordon and his
backers have made a dismal failure,
aud are now in consternation. In
stead of defeating the Sub-Treasury
bill in Georgia, the democratic vo«
ters of our State have overwhelming
ly endorsed that measure, and their
chosen representatives will now see
that a man in full and hearty accord
with their platform is elected to the
U. S. Senate. This will certainly not
lie John B. Gordon, for he has al.
ready waved the flag of defiance in tbe
face of every AUianceuian in Geor
gia, and announced that he would
not support the Sub Treasury hill-
no, not if it cost him forty elections.
Tbe eyes of the country will be
turned upon Georgia, to watch the
results of farmer rule. Georgia and
South Carolina are the fir*t states in
the Union to pass into the control of
the Alliance, and they will have a
great deal to do with the future suc
cess of this organization. It the far
mers show to the world that they can
manage tbe alfaiis of government
with conservatism aud wisdom -as
we feel assured they will do—the
politicians will quickly be made to
give place to tbe people’s rule all
over the Sogth aud the West.
We want to sec our next General
Assembly ‘proceed to business with
dispatch, and start out by lopping of!
all extravagances. Repudiate free
railroad passes ; put a stop to mem
bers junketing over the State to the
fiCglect of business ; and then, after
one short session, adjourn until their
successors aie elected. Tbe lax
payers are sick nigh unto death witn
extra sessions, aud the Alliance rnu»t
prove that tbe business of our Stale
can be transacted within the limits
prescribed by the Constitution.
Do not pass laws that will oppress
any class or corporation. While pro
tecting tbe rights of the people, at
thfe same time see that no wrong or
injustice is done those who have in
vested their money in our Slate. It
is prophesied that this Alliance leg.
islnture will at once start a crusade
against capitalists and corporations.
We have no fear of this. The farm
ers are tbe most conservative people
on earth, and will accord to every
individual his just rights. Tbe lill-
ers of the soil have too long been the
helpless victims of oppression them
selves, ever to in turn become the
oppressors of others.
The Alliance will use its great vie.
tory with wisdom, justice and mod
eration, and when the next legisla
ture adjourns, the people wilfconfess
that it was the wisest, most conser
live and business-like body of law.
makers that has ever convened in
our State. Mark this prediction.

tent.
That portion of Banks county, about
four miles from Mnysville, on the road
to Homer, is one of the inort prosperous
communities in Northeast Georgia.
As an evidence of this fact the citizens
have just completed the finest school
hou-e in Banks county, ft is largo and
uicely ceiled and will be furnished with
a stove, blackboards and patent desks.
Messrs. J. C. and Thomas Burns, J. H.
Porterfield, W. S. Long and others are
exerting themselves to have one of the
very best schools in the state right at
this place. •
These gentlemen are untiring in their
efforts and will, no doubt, succeed in
their undertaking.
The citizens of the community are
united in this noble work, and they
will soon have a senool of which they
will all feel proud.
This school will be a great benefit to
the whole comuuiuity in bringing in
new families to educato their children,
in advancing the value of property, and
in a great many other w r ay<. Already
several families have expressed their
intention of moving to this settlement.
Mr. Clinton Thompson, a good man
and a splendid teacher, has j ,13t be® 11
unanimously elected principal of the
school, which opens first Monday in
January, and continues eight months.
Mr. Thompson is very energetic and Un
people of this community are to be con
gratulated in securing his services.
1 he laying of the corner stone by the
Masons of Homer and surrounding
country was celebrated last Saturday.
The ceremony was very imposing ami
interesting. At the close of these cere
monies Dr. Y. D. Lockhart, of Homer,
d -li< hted all present with a very unique
oration,
After these exercises were concluded
all entered the building and were there
highly entertained by a talk on educa
tion from Prof. J. 11. AValker, of Har
mony Grove. Prof. Walker is the able
principal of the Hi.r nony Grove Acad
emy, one of the first educational insti
tutions in all North Georgia, and his
talk on education wa-* eminently prac
tical and was productive of great good.
Prof. AValke. s.ioke for about thirty
minutes, and .discussed education, tin-
race problem and kindred subjects in a
broad aud eomprcln nsivc manner, and
he g&ve unmistakable evidence of the
statesman as well as the pedagogue in
his discussion of these questions.
Prof. Clinton Thompson, the princi
pal elect, ivas then called for and re
sponded in a very happy effort, which
produced qui-e a favorable impression
upon nil present.
At night Pjrof. R. P. Terrell gave a
very interesting exhibition in rope
walking and legerdemain for the benefit
Of the school. A snug little sum was
realized from the entertainment, with
which the latest improved.patent desks
will be purchased for the use of the
many pupils w ho are expected to attend
this (.cliool next term.
Taking it all in nil, this was an occa
sion of rare pleasure and will lie remem
bered by the large crowd in attendance,
as a “green spot in memory, an oasis in
.1 dosert.” The sueo-ss of this pleasant
occasion was largely due to Mr. Craw
ford Burns, and to him is due th«
thanks of all who were present for the
groat kindi.ess and consideration which
he lavished upon them. Long may he
livq and prosper.
Harmony Grove and Homer wore
well represented. Among those pres
ent from Harmony Grove were Prof,
and Mrs. J. H. Walker and Messrs.
Wm.Thurmond, Sr , R. H. Hawks, Ju

whose names we do not now recall.

Oglethorpe county presents a scene
of devastation, and especially the parts
bordering on Long crock.
The recent rains have been wonder-
fu'ly beavy all up this creek and in
Oglethrope county.
As a result this creek especially has
risen, and at the last report was five feet
higher than the oldest inhabitant ever
saw it.
The creek can no longer go by that
name, and rushes with ter rifle force,
carrying everything before it. and play
ing geueral havoc.
Those who have seen the stream der
scribe it us presenting a terrible sight.
Away out of its bauks, and. roaring and
rusliing with terrible rapidity.
All over Oglethrope is a bad state < t
affairs, but all the accidents reported
occurred on tliis.crcek.
Brook’s Mill has been washed com
pletely away, anil where it stood there
is now nothing but parts of the founda
tion.
The iron, county bridge over Long
creek, near the plaee of Mr. Tom Cal
laway’s, could not withstand the migh
ty power of the rushing waters, and
was swept oft' its piers and for soun
distance down the creek.
The d.im at Amos’ mill was washed
down and the mill house moved from
its foundation.
All small bridges have gene, and
everything along the banks of the creel
was either washed off or badly injured
One could not have thought tbe little
stream could pos.-ibly be transformed
into such a one, which was five feet
higher than the oldest inhabitant ever
saw it, and even five leet lower has been
of such seldom occurence as to make a
mark in the life of the observers.
The who'e county has sutfered terri
bly, and there have doubtless been nu
merous other casualties which will
come to light.
The crops are inestimably injured,
and every farmer in tbe county will
lose a (treat deal.
If the rain continues there is no tell
ing of the final result. The whole
county is now more like a lake than any
thing else, and with more rain there
will hardly be a speck o r land. ^
Tbe county has already suffered terri
bly, and it would take a long figure to
represent the damage done.

AGAINST GORDON.

Norwood for Senator.
/ On Thursday the Farmers’ Alliance
of Jacksoq county met a <1 endo ed
l.'on, Thos. M. Norwood for the United
States Senate. Botii the representatives
are opposed to Gordon, and will vote
against him.
There is a movement on foot in Ogle
thorpe county, started in the towns to
get up a little meeting and ins ruet
their representatives and senator t • sup
port Guidon for the senate. When it is
known that the men head ng this move
ment are"the ones who tried so hard to
defeat the Allia- ce nominees in the pri
mary, we have no idea that it will work.
Nine-tenths of farmers of Oglethorpe
are against Gov. Gordon as senator.

o’clock. The principals in the affair
were Col. R H. Lampkin and Dick
Martin, a carpenter.
It seems that Martin had doae some
work for which, he claims he was
never paid. Yesterday lie was in front
of Lsmpkin’8 store, when the Colonel
spoke.to him about some more work he
wanted done. Martin told him he
would not do it until he was paid for
the other. Lampkin stated that this
had beeu settled long years before.
/i dispute followed, and Martin gave
him the lie At. this Col. Lampkin
strut k him over the head with a stick,
ending rh ■ dispute and also the fight.
Cases were made yesterday for disorder
ly conduct. \
A Car Smashed to Pieces, But the
Passengers Saved.
Train No. 22, of the Covington and
Macon railroad, while crossingthe long
trestle at Hard Labor creek, met with
witfi what came near being a serious ac
cident. The wet weather had caused
the track to spread, and as the passen
ger coach was passing over the trestle,
after ten care had passed over, the coach
jumped thb track, and was precipitated
forty feet. Seven passengers were
aboard who were badly bruised, but
none seriously Jiurt. The car was
smashed Ito a thousand pieces, and it is
almost a miracle ho;v the men eseaped
with their lives. All the traiNs ou this

ELECTION
I figur Es
Oak Grove, Madison County,
Sept. 2»th 1890.
Dk..r Banner: Poor old “Bill Arp”
has given the farmers a kick in his
last week’s letter to the Constitution.
His mental faculty is giving away, or
be naturally wants to keep the poor
farmers poor and lie Kn »ws how to
m ike money farming at the present
prices of produce—corn. 60 cents per
bushel and cotton 9)£ cents, but if
the Farmer’s Alliance can, by their
Sub-Treasury bill £et corn to $1 per
bushel, cotton 15 eents per pound, lie
will get so poor that lie can not let
p .or Carl and Jessie haris hut one bis
cuit and taters to take to seliool. What
a pity for poor Carl and Jessie;
Now, William, lean tell you how
vou can still make money if the poor
Farmer’s Alliance should he so fortu
nate as 1 to get their bill passed and corn
should go to $1 and cotton to 15 cents.
You sell your corn at 50 ei nts and
cotton at 9 cents. Then you can still
make money, and Carl and Jessie can
still have all the luxuries of life. But
the poor farmer that sells his eoru at
$1 and cotton at 15 cents, oh, William,
what will he be able to give Ms poor
«hildreti to take to school, if he can
send them any at all'? For God’s sake.
William, tell its how to manage to l' vo
if the fruh-Tre.-tsur. bill shouhljanss and
cotton go to 15 cents and corn $1 as you
are a prophet, I am not. We know how
it is to live at the present prices, but ii'
we should get more for our produce,
and get poorer than we are, we would
not know liow to keep soul and body to
gether. Give ussonie advice, William,
in return for what I give you. You can
still sell your cotton and corn at the
present price, if it suits you, aud you
ougnt to, if there is more money in it
at the present price than there would
he at 15 eents lor cotton and $1 for corn
The Farmar’s Alliance will not force
you to put your coi t->n in their w’are-
hou.-e and take 15 cents for it.
No. William, yo > can sell yonr cotton
at 6, 7, S or 9 eents if you want to, and
you ought to, if there is more piofit in
it than at 15 cents.
And for God’s sake, and your poor
children, William, do not, oh, do nor. sell
your cot ton for at:y thing over 9}6 cents,
if to sell for more will take the neces-
8 lies of life away from poor Carl and
Jessie!
Billie, it s -ems to me that you are in
the same boat with the great Atlanta
Constitutional. B. Gordon and Felton;
and everybody knows tl ey are not the
'srmers friends. If you and they had
labored as har.Las T. L. Gautt, of Tue
A i hens Bvnnkr, for Democracy and
the farmer's interests, Georgia’s poli
ties would not be in the tnuddle that
they are.
Now, dear Banner, I want to make
a suggestion to the Alliance of the
state and the south : That is i - regard
o figuring the Alliance open y iu the
dark. Those that are not l»i us are
against us. It is just and right that the
Alliance should not patronize any pa
lter. or any person that is opposed to us.
I uxgest that the Alliaueemen of Geor
gia and the south Boycott everything
that is fighting them. There is no jus
tice in licking the hand that smites us.
Winfield.
BYE-BYE BOYCOTT.
De
alb’s Representatives Will Vote
Against Gordon.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 2. (Special.)—
Jo-day the Al • .j.ce of DeKalb county
held a meeting in Decatur, and passed
resolutions which will cast two votes of
that count- against Gordon for tho
senate. It was carried with only one
dissenting voice. It instructed two
representatives, T. N. Nash and W. C.
Holbrook to vote for no man unless he
stands squarely upon the Alliance plat
form. Both representatives say openly
now that they wiil follow these iu—
-i ructions, aud vote against Gordon.
This action is significant; particularly
so as DeKalb is Gordon’s home county.
The Alliance senator from that district
will also vote against Gordon.
A prominent and entirely substantial
vllinnceman is responsible for .the state
ment that county Alliances of Fultpn
and Clayton will take similar action to
morrow.
To be Completed.—Hon. W. F. Bow-
eis was in the city Friday on official
business, and in the interest of the
Carnesville railroad. He says the pros-
p« cts are favorable for the road’s com
pletion e’re another reason.

Legion when he was seventeen, which
was composed of infantry and cavalry,
arid that the infantry was afterwards
consolidated with the 65th Georgia
