Rut besides this tne Executive eom-
mittee could not advance the investiga
tion a step further than it has gone, for
tliis i o nmittee lias no power to coin, •
witnesses to attend or to testify.
One person, E G. lloane, has volun
tarily came forward, and told us with a
i, freshing coolness that he tried to buv
Vi tos Tor Colley.
The link now wanted is that which
shows where Mr. Roane’s $300 or $750
came from. Mr. Roane is a trader in
horses, and it is not believed by any
body who knows him, that he could or
would furnish $300 from his own pocket
for the purpose of buying votes for Mr.
• ‘ollcy. And the ex-committee could
neither insure Mr. Roane’s ap|»caratice
nor make him testify.
There iso ily one thing which would
probably open Mr. Roane’s mouth fur
ther. If the gentleman whose reputa
tion sufters under Mr. Roane’s deeds
and disclosures would denounce Ur.
Roane anil his attempt with the con
tempt, abhorrence and indignation that
they deserve, Mr. Roane might talk,
but if he treats Mr. Roane with the
kindest and most respectful considera
tion, he fails ro protect his own reputa
tion, and it ishisown concern.
All the persons who took part in the
convention accept Lawson, and the Ex
ecutive committee therefore, have no
further concent with them. It must
leave them to public opinion.
There is something more which tli
Banner could do. Another person in
VVilkes county has testified in spoken
words about the $500, thus enabling us
to trace it some very significant steps
further in the direction from which it
caiue. This statement was made in the
presence of a number of persons. The
names of three men who heard it are
known, and their evidence would con
vince everybody. The rash maker of
t his statement has tried to withdraw or
modify it, but lias been met by the firm
repetition of what was actually said.
These gentlemen do not come out with
their evidence for two reasons—one is
that they do not care to fire at dead
ducks, and the other is that the char
acter of everybody who took part in
the convention is now a priv:.._ one
except that, of Judge Lawson. It is
true public opinion judges even private
persons, and will judge those who are
concerned in this buying of votes.
This evidence can have no practical
importance except in a very unlikely fu
ture contingency. If one of tne per
sons criminated should seek to become
st public character, the facts ought to
be made public. The Banner could
bring them out by publishing the state
ment regarding the source from which
the $500 reached Mr. Roane,by also giv
ing the name of the man who made this
statement, and daring this man, or any
one criminated, to bring suit against
the Banner. If suit was brought, the
matter would become matter of legal
investigation, atul the witnesses could
bi* summoned and made to testily. Rut
ilierc would be no suit, the person af
fected would retire in silence. In sueh
a contingency, the Athens Banner
could do, as it lias already done, g.K>d
service to the public by bringiug out
i lie facts. It is not the Banner’s ex
pression of its own opinion which has
been a public service, it is its fearless
publication of evidence. In fact, this
whole congressional -campaign in the
eighth shows strongly that the public
opinion of voters is not much affected
by ibe opinions of newspaper men.
Public opinion can make a man suf
fer the penalty of public contempt, but

evidence against him, and not a decis-

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are coutagotis, or that
they are due to the presece of living
parasites in the lining membrane of the

this to be a fact, and the result of this
discovery is that a simple remedy has
been formulated whereby catarrh, ca

Corn Ruined
Blockaded.
The news from the country, yester
day, was of the gloomiest character.
All the streams in this section were on
;t flood-tide, and thousands of acres of
corn, ripe for the harvest, were de
stroyed. Sandy’ Creek, in Clarke
county, was on a big old high, and all
the crops along its banks swept away.
In Oglethorpe county’, Cloud’s creek
was from bank to bank, and the water
covered the eorn tassels, literally
sweeping the crops out of existence- It
was the same on other streams. It is
impossible to estimate the damage done
by the flood to lowground corn. A
number of planters, who had a splendid
prospect, will have to buy all their
corn. Cotton is also badly’ damaged,
being beaten from the bolls and washed
into the ground. It was a fearful ca
lamity ou our farmers.

WatcuStoi.es.—A gentleman of this
etty had a double-case gold wateh sto
len from his residence, with a deer bead
on one side anil wreath on the other.
He will pay $25 reward for the convic
tion of the thief.
Yesterday five warrants were sworn
out against Mr. Jim Johnson by Mr.
Garithers. Mr. Johnson’s wife was also
implicated by Mr. Carithers in his
charges, the main one being for assault
with intent to murder.
Mr. Carithers has a sensational story
to tell, and his side, and reasons for
swearing out the warrants are about as
follows:
Jim Johnson, he says, is his wife’s
nephew. For years he has been a
worthless fellow, and lived on the hos
pitality of his aunt ami himself. He
carried the young man aior.g until worn
out by the constant calls, and told his
wife that he could stand it no longer.
His wife took sides with her nephew
and trouble began to brew
in the family. This grew worse, and
finally’caused the separation of the cou
ple.
On Monday night,says Mr. Carithers,
he was awakened by some men who de
sired to put up in his wagon yard. He
immediately went out to place them,
and told them that his wife had the
keys, which, if they would wait, he
would go and get.
He found young Johnson outside,and
on asking him what he wanted, re
ceived a volley of .wuhs.
He found his wife in a drunken stu
por, but found the keys. Johnson con
tinued to curse him, and throw rocks
at him, one of which s:ru«-k him in the
ribs. A gate was slammed against hiiu
bruising and cutting him badly. Mr.
Carithers also claims that Mrs. John
son ran out with a pistol and pointed it
in his face. He only prevented himself
from being seriously hurt by’ barring
himself in his house.
Briefly, the above is about Mr. Ca-
rither’s statement, and containing tlie
main features as published in yester
day’s Ledger
Now i onies the other side.
Mr. Johuson on seeing the article,says
be was greatly surprised,as lie had only
received a summons to appear at police
court for disorderly conduct. He was
indignant at the story published with
comments as being the facts, and denies
in emphatic language every line in it,
except that he was Mrs. Carithers’
nephew.
In the first place, he says, Mr. Ca
rithers has no wagon yard. Also that
he Las not spoken to Carithers but
three times in seven years. Mr. Ca-
ntliers was parted from his wile and
the property divided by law, the wagon
y r ard going to the wife. His aunt, of
course, could not attend lo the work,
and he (Johnson) has been in her em
ploy as manager. Mr. Carithers had
nothing, whatever, to do wit* ~t. John
son Monday night says he wu.- putting
his mule in the stable, so he could
attend to some men who wished to stop
over. While doing this Carithers came
out, and began cursing ani abusing
him, and accusing him of being the
cause of his separation from his wife.
He more than this picked up rocks, and
threw them at him. As to Mrs.:John
son pointing a pistol at Carithers. John-
ys she never had a pistol,and knew
nothing, whatever, about the occur
rence.' In a word, he denies the whole'
story from beginning to end, and says
the article in the Ledger was libelous.
He has employed Messrs. Thomas
«fc Strickland, and will sue that paper
for damages.
Tlie case has turned out to be a pecul
iar one. Mr. Carithers is emphatic iu
his statements and swore out the war
rants. Mr. Carithers is just as emphat
ically denies the whole story, and will
sue for damages.
His grounds are that the article as
published gave as facts statements
which he claim absolutely false.

If not, you have got a great treat
in store. Everybody in Madison county

Wash White we would not need court

organized democrat, but even the men
he opposes politically can but admire
and respect him. The only fault to
M ash W hite is that his heart is so much
larger than his pocket-book. It not

he may chance to meet. I sat in the pi-
H7.7. i at his house on Saturday evening
after the speaking, and Wash, stopped
every pedestrian and vehicle that passed
and insisted on them spending the
night with him. And these invitations,
too, came from the heart. I had at least
fifty ituitions from my friends in MadL

to remain at. Mr. White’s. I wanted to

The whites of the South imagine that
they would be ruined if negro moved

race for our servants and fai m laborers
that they seem an absolute necessity. 11
was among this number untihny recent
visit, to Ila. But a change has now ta
ken place, for [ am convinced that our
people overestimate the importance of
negro labor. In this section of Madison
county you rarely ever see a negro. Of
fully 800 |ieople at the picnic there was
not a negro on the grounds. The far
mers till their own fields, aud if a man
has more land than he can hi .self work,
rents it out to white tenants. The
wives and daughters of the farmers do
nli the house work, and many of them
assi.-t iu the fields. There i.-> not a more
prosperous or happier community iu
Georgia or the Sou h Paupers an- un
known. And tln-re are more bright
eyed nisy-cheeked country lasses here
than any* spot we have ever visited.
They are the very picture.- of health.
If a man wants a wife who will prove a
help-mate indeed, he should select a
bride from I’oe.ualigo di-trict in Madi
son county. They are well educate J,
and dress «ith sty ie. I was impressed
with the beautiful hair of many of Lhe
girts ami even, older ladies. It would
be a treasure to a city belle. The far
mers here are free of debt, and
raise everything at home, except
tea, sugar and eottee. It is a
treat to sit down atone of their tables.
The ladies do their own cooking, aud
everything is at neat as a pin, and pre
pared iu the most tempting manner.

PLAN FOR PLANTING AN ACRE IN FRUIT,
fruits would require twenty-four trees,
all of which could be placed on less than
three-quarters of an acre of ground,
leaving the remainder of the acre for
the berries and grapes.
Accompanying is a diagram showing
how all that is requisite could be plant
ed on an acre without encroaching on
any neighbor, even if the acre was
bounded on all sides by property belong
ing to others. The plot lies east and
west, and is 10 roils long by 10 rods
wide. The trees marked 1 ia rows A
and B on the north side are apple trees,
with one cherry tree, marked 2 in row
B. The cherries are continued in, row
C, and three pear trees, marked 3, pnt
in to complete the row.
The trees iu these three rows are two
rods apart and one rod from the bound
ary fences. In tho row D are five pear
trees, marked 3; six peach trees, marked
4; two plum trees, marked 5, and two
quince bushes, marked 0—all sixteen and
one-half feet apart in the row. Between
the quince bushes, in the row, are plant
ed gooseberries, and farther west.cnrrant
bushes. Between the rows C and D are
three rows of raspberries, marked E, and
between 'J and B two row3 of black
berries. marked F. If tho ground is
kept rich and cultivated tho berries will
suffer but little from shade for a dozen
years or more, and for that matter the
portion devoted to apples conll also be
used for raspberries if desired.
The open space south of the trees, con
taining forty-eight rods of ground, or
nearly one-third of an acre, if rich and
well cared for should produce of the

Saturday niglit 1 attended an old-
fashioned country party at Mr. Bur
roughs, who lives in Ila. It carried me
back to my boyhood days, and reminded
me of old times. The people around
here are all strict members of the
church, and do not permit dancing;
but the young people established inno
cent styles and games, that were as en
joyable as the most fasiiiouaole enter
tainments. Did you ever attend a
conutiy party, my city friend? They
are entirely ditt'erent from wh .tyou are
accustomed to. It takes some time to
Oreak the ice. The hoys sit on one side
of the room and the girls on the other,
and cast sly glances at each other until
some bolder spirit breaks the mnra
party by proposidg to have a game. It
is no easy matter to get started. The
boys appear to want the girls fo make
the first advances, which of course the
dear creatures refuse to do. But when
the ice is once broken there is more fun
to bo hail out of their innocent spirits in
an hour than a whole night’s carouse in
fashionable circles. There is always in
the room some matron, whose duty it is
to see that the young people don’t turn
their frolic into a dance—for when their
feet are wrong, their hearts fluttering
and cheeks flu-hed with happiness and
excitement there is really danger of
transferring “stealing partners” into
“Tucker,” and from “Tucker” it is an
easy step to “swing your partners,’’
“balance all,” etc.
Artificial Munurea.
From exhaustive experiments made in
England with artificial manures the
Mark Lane Express draws the following
deductions:
Phosphate alone, for any crop, is in
adequate, and farmers should abandon
the use of superphosphate by itself.
Nitrogen alone is unreliable for any crop.
Phosphates and nitrogen together (with
potash sometimes added) are more benefi
cial to grain crops than most people
imagine. For root crops, fertilizers con
taining phosphates, nitrogen and potash
give far the best results. For grass,
manures containing phosphates and
nitrogen (sometimes with potash) are the
best kinds. Oat and potato crops can
be enormously increased by the use of
the proper fertilizers.

San Fkaocisco, Oct. 1.—Chief Ar
thur, of the Brotherhood of Engineers,
met the Soutliern Pacific officials yes—
Pocataligo is one of the strongest or
ganized democratic districts in Georgia,
and if there is anything the people de
spise worse than a repnbliean, it is a
man who professes to be a democrat,
and relies upon the negro vote for his
election. _ Taey never forgive a bolter
from their party ranks. After my
speech at Ila, a friend announced that
himself aud wife had a fine boy baby,
and had been disputing about what they
should name it. But they hud agreed
to go straight home and call it “Jjarry
Gantt.” it was a compliment that I
highly appreciate, for when a lady con
sents for her baby to bear good nime,
it is the strongest possible proof of her
confidence and respect- A man who
has the farmers on his side can claim a
friendship that will stand any test.
This will never desert you, and one true
aud loyal to the end. Place not your
trust in kings or iu publicans, but yon
can pio your faith to the yeomanry of
the laud.
The Stool Torsos the Mat System.
On the trial grounds of the Experi
ment station at Geneva, N. Y., were
planted for testing two rows of each va
riety of strawberries, one grown in the
stool system, the other allowed to mat
to the width of two feet, twelve plants
in each row, the rows three feet apart.
Experience in past years has been the
largest individual fruits from tho plants'
in the stool row, and the largest yield of
marketable fruit from the matted row.
This year the matted rows gave both the
largest yield and the largest berries,
and in addition bloomed and fruited
from three to five days in advance of the
stool rows.

The people aiounfl TIa are worthy
j members of the Presbyterian church.
They have erected a nice edifice, as also
a comfortable school house. The Rev.
Mr. Pharr is their pastor, and I never
met a gentleman with whom I was more
familiarly impressed on short acquaint
ance. There is a great deal of refine
ment in this community. Good schools
are kept up, and the citizens have the.
New. and Notes.
Thousands of cattle have died this sea
son for lack of grass and water in Ari
zona, New Mexico and portions of Colo
rado, where a prolonged drought has
occurred.
One of the cheapest and best made
fountains is an ordinary flower pot re
versed into a glazed saucer. Fit a cork
into the hole of the pot, fill it with water
and reverse it.
The condition of the com crop is low
est in the eastern part at the Ohio val
ley and relatively high in the com states
further west.
There is to be a competitive exhibit of
semi-tropical fruits at the World’s fair
between California and Florida.
From Emporia, Kan., come reports of
a mammoth procession of farmers’ or
ganizations headed by the Fanners’ Al
liance, in which some 20.000 persons
joined.
