through the mountains of Northern
Georgia and Carolina, and he comes
freighted with good news. Be made a
discovery while in North Carolina, m
close proximity to the Georgia, line that
promises to be of inestimable value to
iiim and his associates.
While prospecting through the moun
tainous country, contiguous on the bor
der counties of Georgia he discovered a
rich and apparantiy exhaustless vein of
genuine corundum. This mineral is of
the highest market value and can be
disposed of readily at $300 per ton.
There are specimens now at the office of
Mr. Jas. Hamilton of the yield of this
veto, showing tbe character of the min
eral, its quality and classification.
Tbe mineral itself is intrinsically val
uable and comsrises opaque qualities of
various dark colors.
This vein, judging from its direction
and tire character of country through
which it extends, promises to be of infi
nite value to George and Georgians. It
is another testimonial of our diversified
and latest resources ami extends in it

This vein will be worked for all that
money and efficient labor can command

it and more will be soon put on.
The Professor deserves great credit

‘•Guilty,
mercy.”
That’s the jury’s verdict in the case
against Florida Thomas, alias Florida
Joseph, for attempting to burn the
home of Mrs. Smith.
Yesterday morning superior court
convened and immediately took up the
criminal docket.
The first case called was the State
versus Florida Th omas, charged with
arson. The citizens are familiar with
the occurrence leading to the charge.
Sometime last June, the house of Mrs.
Smith was discovered to be on fire.
It was immediately extinguished,how
ever, and no damage done. Three weeks
afterwards it was discovered to be on fire
again, an alarm was turned on and
again it was put out with no injury.
In the house at the time were only la
dies and children and all were justly
outraged at these dastardly attempt.
Every effort was made to discover the
guilty party, aud suspicion pointing di
rectly to Florida, the 13-year-olil negro
servant, she was arrested the morning
tfter. *
On being taken to the station bouse,
she confessed to both attempts, and
since her removal to the jail has admit
ted the crime on several different occa
sions. . . . , _
Last week the grand jury found a
irue bill against her and yesterday mor
ning the case came up.
Mr. T. F. Green, a young and talent
ed Athenian, represented the defense,
and handled the case in a manner which
would reflect credit upon much older
and experience*! lawyers. This was hia
first ease, he having opened his office
ojIv a few weeks since, and his speech
and general work for his client elicited
praise frotna!l._ ^ ^ thftIllfh . and
The case was a bad one though,
after hearing the testimony and the
speeches the jury retired, to returnin

Tbe attempts to burn a house contain

were enough to rouse the n.dignarion of
anv man. and this sentence for life is
certainly no more than the little-scoun
drel deserved.
It now lies within the power of
Athens to secure the Augusta & Chat
tanooga railroad. This line will assur
edly be built, and that speedily. Then I
is no longer a shadow of a doubt about !
this. Arrangements have been perfect
ed to get the money, and in a very
short time dirt will be broken.
A construction charter has been ap
plied for, and was this week recorded
by the Clerk of the Superior Court of
Clarke county, and will be published
in the next issue of The Weekly
Banner. The incorporators are
Allen D. Candler, of Gainesville;
T. L. Gantt, of Athens; James
M. Smith, of Smithonia; and
R. M. Mitchell, of Augusta; Hon. E. T.
Brown, of Athens, is attorney for the
corporation.
Mr. Mitchell is tbe gentleman who
has brought the enterprise to a success,
aud be is a man who knows no such
word as fail. He has already built two
railroads, and they are successful en
terprises. He has the confidence of
northern capitalists, and can get all the
money and backing he wants.
But any man who will take a map
and examine the country through which
the road will pass, with the magnificent
mineral and agricultural resources, he
will need no other inducement to make
him invest therein. By this line it will
be about oue hundred miles nearer
from Chattanooga to tide water than
tbe present roads, which within itself
is a good object. All the western
freight of our own section, and that
rich and extensive country around Au
gusta and Chattanooga will go over the
new road, which within itself will in
sure a handsome dividend.
But this is not all. The A. & C. will
penetrate and split open vast coal, iron,
gold aud marble fields, aud develop a
fresh and fertile agricultural country,
which will furnish a continuous busi
ness all the year around. It is estimated
that the first year this new road will be
able to pay interest on its bonds, and de
clare a dividend to the stockholders.
Tbe enterprise is backed by men of
means and experience, and they intend
business. The capitalists aud leading
business men of Chattanooga, Au
gusta and of Charleston are
now at work, aud organizations are per
fected in all of those cities

forts will amount to nothing, unless we
are backed by our citizens, it will cost
considerably more to divert the road by
Athens, and this sum our people must
make up. They will not be asked to
take stock or donate one dollar to the
road, but to show their faith and their
good will, by investing in first mortgage
bonds—and a better or more solvent se
curity was never offered them. The in
corporators will expect our city to take
$150,000 of these bonds. It is intended
to place 20 per cent, of tbe construction
cost of the entire line amoug the people
most interested, and this will be Ath

In a short time a plain, business prop
osition will be made to this city, when
our people can, must and will decide
what they will do. There must be no
unnecessary delay, however, as it is in
tended to complete the road as fast as
men and money can do the work.
The citizens of Athens must not hog
the hallucination to their breast that
tbe road must come here, whether
they assist it or not. Tbe line can
be built much cheaper on tbe!
old survey, via Harmony Grove and }
unless Athens steps forward and assists, [
this route will certainly be adopted.
The coinstruction company has in view
the building of an air-line railway from
Chattanooga to tide water, via Augus
ta, and will not deflect unless it is to
their interest to do so.
Onr people once thought they would
secure the Air-Line road, but when too

Quick as a flash the guu went to San

by a dexterous movement evaded the
load.
He now saw the danger confronting
him, and darted arouud the comer of
his lionse in time to avoid being made
the target for another load, gaining ad
mittance by a back door.

Sanders bad now discharged both bar

Martin says he knew that the time
was now ripe for action, and unless be
defended himself he would be shot to
pieces. Drawing his pistol he fired four
times rapidly in succession, and as the
fourth aud last report rang out Sanders
fell. Martin now for the first time dis
covered that one of Sanders’ pistol balls
had taken effect in his abdomen, and it
was not until some tim * had elapsed
that he learned the news of sudden
death, who expired in three minutes
after the last shot from Martin’s pistol,
three of the balls having taken effect-
The dead man was carried home
by his son, Mr. J. M. Sanders, who was
eye witness to the last act
in the tragedy.
Martin was carried into his bouse
and medical aid summoned.
Dr Carter, of Winterville, responded
promptly, .but he failed to discover the
ball after probing tbe wound thor
oughly.
The coroner had been summoned, and
empannelled a jury last night, but it is
not yet known what the verdict is.
Mr.. Sanders will be buried tomorrow
from his residence.
Feeling on this difficulty is bitter and
intense, and some fears are entertained
that a renewal of the difficulty will oc
cur.
Mr. Martin’s condition is precarious,
and Drs. Carter and Massey regard it
critical enough to warrant the gravest
apprehensions.
The ball passed entirely through his
liver and inflamation will assuredly en
sue, which will result in death.
The man was suffering the most
piquant agony, and bis cries and
groans were frightful to hear.
These facts were for the most part
emanated from Mrs. Martin and Mr.
Sanders’son, Mr. J. M. Sanders.
This is one of the bloodiest tragedies
that stains the pages of Madison county
annals, and it all originated in a trivial
affair that might have been arbitrated
satisfactorily.
Tbe ball that caused tbe almost in
stant death of Mr. Sanders entered his
left side and passed entirely through
his body, infringing on his heart.
He was Bhot in two other spots, but
neither would have been sufficient to
cause his death.

In Which He Bnloglie* Haskell, tat De

Secret* the Condition of AAUrs.
Columbia, S. C., Oct. 25.—Senator
Wade Hampton has at last written his
promised letter to State Chairman Irby,
who requested the senator to take the
stump in the interest of Tillman and
ticket. This letter, however is not what
the friends of Tillman expected—it is
considered as favorable to the
ticket. So far as the request to stump
the state for TiUman is concerned, Sena
tor Hampton is of the opinion that such
demonstrations would do harm, and,
therefore, declines to take part in the
canvass or to make any speeches. He
says tbe deplorable condition of the party
could haw been avoided if his advice in
the summer campaign to have a general
primary bad been heeded. Continuing,
he says:
“I shall support the ticket nominated
by the convention in September, bat in
doing this I by no means endorse the
grave charges which have been made
against the Democratic party of the state.
Honesty and integrity have marked
every administration which has governed
the state since 1876, and we shall, indeed,
be fortunate if our officials in the future
8 hall be as able, as patriotic and as hon
est as they have been for the last four
teen years. I am compelled to support
the September ticket, because it was
nominated by the Democratic conven
tion, and because tbe other ticket lacks
that endorsement.
“I regret deeply that this latter ticket
lias been brought out, though I have the
greatest respect for the gentlemen com
posing it, aud I do not, for one moment,
question the motives of those who nom
inated it. For the gallant and distin
guished gentleman who is at its head, I
entertain the highest possible regard and
esteem. I cannot forget his eminent ser
vices to the state in peace and war. To
him we were largely indebted for the
success that crowned our efforts in 1876,
and there is no office in the gift of the
state for which I would not earnestly
and cordially support him, were he en
dorsed by the recognized authority of
tbe Democratic party. All denunciation
of him, and those whom he represents,
is, in my opinion, unworthy of those
whO'indulge in it, and it will only serve to
embitter the unfortunate strife which
now divides our party. No one who
knows Col. Haskell can doubt his sin
cerity, his conscientiousness or his de
mocracy. I certainly do not.
“And whilst 1 think he has remlo *
great mistake in lending his **»****> and
influence to the movement inaugurated
by his friends, I shall not denounce the
man who was my comrade in war, who
was one of the ablest and bravest officers
in my command, and who was my
trusted friend and advisor in 1876.
“I do not venture to offer advice to
my fellow-citizens, for my last honest
effort to do so fell unheeded; but I do
appeal to them by the glorious memories
of’76, by ail our hopes for the enduring
prosperity of our state, to avoid afi
semblance of violence in the conduct of
the election. Let every man who holds
the honor of our state dear, constitute
himself a special guardian of the peace,
and let us prove to those who traduce us
that whatever differences may exist in
our party, we can settle it at the ballot
box without resorting to intimidation, to
fraud or violence.”
