The ATHENS BANNER TUESDAY IORNING. NOVEMBER 25 1890.
A WORD OF AD'-MCE TO OUR ALLI
ANCE FRIENDS.
The defeat ot the Farmers’ Alii**
n re in the Senatorial contest should
n •« discourage the members of tbis
organization, or cause them to lose
h< uri and faith. They made a gal*,
lant fight for their principles, aud
mine near defeating one of the
* l ongest and most popular men in
Georgia. No one but John B. Gor
don could have triumphed over this
•ooanization of our farmers ; and we
predict that hereafter even Gen. Gor-
d <u will carefully revise his speeches,
lent he again arouse the slumbering
li >n. In fact, be has already recog
nized the power of the Alliance by
sending in his application for mem
bership.
The enemies of this e-^er wil
doubtless seek to use the election ol
Gen. Gordon as an entering wedge
to disrupt the Alliance. Do cot let
this be done. You must stand the
firmer on your platform and stick
the closer together. Act with wis
dom, justice and moderation. Do
not ostracise a brother member on
account of his position during the
Senatorial contest. True and houor-
ablo men may differ, and did not
view the respective Senatorial can
didates in the same light. All the
gentlemen aspiring for this high of
fice are democrats, and the oniy dif
ferences was a question of policy,
and who would best represent the
views of the Alliance and the inter
ests ot our people.
Alliancemen have other fights to
make than in the political arena,and
to succeed they must work in unity
and harmony. Do not let there be
division in your ranks. Don’t drive
from your order good and trine men
on account of an honest difference of
opinion. Select as your future lead
ers men of character and whose past
lives are above reproach. Close your
ears to the siren song of men who
seek to use you to further their own
selfish ends. Demand represents.*
tion in every public assembly, and
place only Alliancemen, whom you
can trust, on guard.
A mistake at this critical time
will seriously injure the future power
and influence of your organization*
Show to the world that you are brave
men, and know how to meet aud
stand a defeat as well as victory. Be
true to your noble order and be true
to yourselves, and you can and will
triumph even in defeat.
The Banner has the well-being
and prosperity of our farmers very
near at heart, and shall watch with
careful ey« the future career of their
organization. The Alliance is too
grand and noble a movement to be
wrecked by its enemies or its power
destroyed by internal dissensions
The man who seeks to create or wi
den a breach between brother Alli
ancemen. is an enemy to tLe order.
due regard to the State’s interest

affairs brought before yon, and then
adjourn and go home. If an extra
session is necessary, it is the pro
vince of the Governor to call you
together again.
The Banner editor stands in the
same tracks to»day that he did when
the Alliance was first organized. A
defeat does not change our con
viction, but only strengthens us to
work the harder.

the nominee of our party, and the
brand of organized democracy fixed
upou his back,we at once accepted the
arbitration ot our party, and laying
aside all personal difference', gave
the nominee our influence and our
vote.
It is not our aim or our boast to
triumph with the winning side. We
had rather be defeated in a cause we
believe to be right, than to win a
victory by tbe sacrifice of our honest
convictions or our principles.

We will state to certain parties
who are cow gloating over what they
claim as a defeat to The Banner
editor in the election of Gov. Gordon
to the Senate, that we never laid
claim to controlling tbe vote of toe
entire State of Georgia. A solid re
presentation in the legislature from
seventeen counties in this imme
diate section, where our paper large
ly circulates, stood by us to a man.
This is glory and endorsement
enough for one campaign.
Hon. A. F. Pope, of Ogiethorge,
did noble service in defense of the
principles of tbe Alliance. He was a
gallant Confederate soldier, and a
great admirer of Gov. Gordon,but he
sacrificed his preferences on the
shrine of duty to the Farmer’ Alli
ance.
A WORD WITH OUR ALLIANCE FRIENDS
For the next two years you can
rest upon your oars, for there will be
no further work for you to do in the
political arena. Your last battle was
fought in the Senatorial arena, and
in this final contest you met a de
feat. But this must not discourage
you. On the other hand, it should
serve to strengthen your arms and
nerve your hearts. Let your organ
ization be preserved intact—be pre'
pared to again present an unbroken
front to the enemies ot democracy in
We are backed by a consciousness
that we have done our duly by our
party and our people. We have never
wilfully or intentionally wronged a
numan being. While we have doubt-
lead made mistakes, they were errors
»f the bead aud not of tbe heart.
Thus aimed with honesty and right,
we firmly plant ourself in our tracks
and say to our open atyi covert ene
mies : “Do your worst, for we defy
both you and your machinatious !”
We are not dependent upon you for
either livelihood or frieudsliip—for
we know our own h«art and con
science, and feel that we are irapreg
nable to the assaults of malice or
slander.
We propose to pursue the course
that we have mapped out to the end,
and neither waver to the right nor
to the lett. To those who have stood
by and upheld us, our heart- goes
forth in the most grateful KiqdDess ;
to those who are conspiring against
us, we have only to say,examiue the
cause of this opposition, and you
will see that at some time or other,
in our b«ttles for the organized de
mocracy and white man’s suprema
cy, and against corruption, that we
have trod upon their corns, and they
seek this method to show their re
sentment.
in 1892—for to the farmers of our
Governor’s veto. Hence this organ
ization will be held responsible by
the people for all tbe legislation en
acted.
The first and most important step
will be to transact their business and
adjourn. Tbe farmers have long
complained about extended sessions
and members junketing over the
State. It is now in their power to
remedy these evils, and set an ex
ample to future assemblies. But in
their eagerness to carry out the Con
stitution to the letter, they must not
proceed with such haste as to render
possible the passage of objectionable
laws, or neglect the pressing busi
ness of the State. One bad bill, en
acted without proper consideration,
might cost the people more than even
an adjourned session. The fullest
latitude should be given to debate,
and every bill introduced receive
careful and serious consideration be
fore it is acted upon.
The pleasure jaunts of members
of the legislature over the country,
to tbe neglect of the public husiness,
caunot be too strongly condemned,
and the acceptance of free passes
from railroads only encourages this.
Every State department should be
carefully overhauled, and all extrav
agancies and unnecessary officials
lopped off. There is a broad field
in this direction for retrenchment
and reform. If it takes a year, see
that this cleansing process is attend
ed to.
That scandal connected with the
sale of the Okefenokee swamp should
be probed to tbe bottom and blame
fixed where it belongs. “Where
there is so much smoke there must
some fire.” Let a close and rigid
investigation of this sale of the
Slate’s property be made, and then
“ hew to the lice, let the chips fall
where they may.”
Let our new legislature proceed to
THE NEW BRIDGE.
nation the country can only look for
relief from the oppressive laws en
acted by the republican party. No
man can be a good Allianceman un
less he is a good democrat—no man
can he a good democrat unless be is
in full and hearty sympathy with the
Alliance. Tbe two organizations are
striving for the same great goal—the
relief of the masses from the ops
pressions of the classes.
The Athens Banner has shown
its devotion and friendship to the
Alliance in its great struggle. In
the cause of onr farmers we have
made strong and bitter enemies, wbo
now seek our overthrow. But we
care not for them. If the whole
world was' against us, it would not
make us swerve one inch from the
line we have mapped out. We know
that we are on the side of right and
justice, and have tbe farmers at our
back, and will eventually triumph
over all our adversaries.
It would be Quixotic now to con
tinue a fight when no antagonists
are in sight. Let every true and
loyal Allianceman resolve to stand
by his colors, and strengthen tbe
ranks of his organization for the
great battle of the nation,to be fought
in 1892. If tbo present editor* of
ThSi Banner be living at that time,
it matters not where his lot may be
cast, tbe Alliance can depend npon
him to come as promptly and fear
lessly to their assistance as he did
when the order was in its infancy.
Another Bridge at the Foot of College
Avenue, and a Good- Road to be
Opened.
The bridge over the river at the foot
of College avenue is now a certainty.
Our last grand jury recommended an
appropriation of $1,200 toward its con
strnction, which will be almost one
third the cost of a first-class latticed
bridge, it is proposed to erect a steel
bridge, but such a structure would cost
$5,000 and experience demonstrates tljpt
a good covered wooden bridge is about
as enduring and much cheaper. The
iron must be kept painted, which is an
exi
xpense.

THE BANNER EDITOR’S POSITION-
Those who have read every paper
published under tbe management of
the present editor of The Banner
will bear us out in tbe statement
that oar pen has ever been wielded
in the cause of organized democracy
and tbe supremacy of the whiterace.
When men who are now maligning
and ridiculing us were skulking in
A Banner representative met Cap
tain Hakinns, engineer of the G.. C. &
N., yesterday, and from him gleaned
tbe following interesting information :
The cars are now runniug regularly
to Abbeville, S. C., and iron being laid
toward the Georgia side. It will take
about two week to finish the road to the
Savannah river, and six weeeks to erect
the steel bridge that will span that
stream. So in two months’ time, or
perhaps less, the trains on this great
railroad—that will; do so much for Ath
ens—will crossover into Georgia and
Elbert county. From that point until
Bro»d river is reached, there will be no
more bridges to build. Capt. Hankins
says the road will be completed to
Athens by June. The stone abutments
for the bridges over the two prongs of
Broad river are about completed, and
work has commenced on the founda
tion lor the bridge at Athens, over the
Oconee. Between Chester, S. C., and
Athens, Ga., the G. C. & N. crosses
nine prominent rivers, besides smaller
streams. All the river bridges will be
of steel, as also the one over Long Cane
creek, iu Abbeville county. The creeks
and branches will be trestled tempo
rarily, but eventually replaced with
steel. The bridge at Athens will be 75
feet above the water—25 feet higher
than the Georgia R. R. bridge—and the
tallest in this part of the State-
Capt. Hankins says he does not know
how work is progressing on the Atlauta
end of the. road, but learns that it is
pushed rapidly forward. The whole
line is now under contract, with the ex
ception of about 20 miles terminating
iu Atlanta. Several routes

But while we are all interested and rejoice in those national
there are other importarfl question*! tha: come closer home t >tion «.
question now is. Where shall I purchase my lu Us - Th e
are enthused over the building of this
new bridge, as it will be a great move
ment for Athens. It will, save
half a mile of had road for travelers
from up the country, aud empty tiaiie
directly into heart of our city. The
benefit it will be to College avenue
property is immeasurable, and this will
soon be one of our best business streets
The grand jury also recommends the
opening of a new road over this bridge
to tap the Dunielsrille road, ltjwill
abolish the bills around the upper
bridge, and not endanger teams by pass
ing under tbe railroad trestle. A sur-
very shows that a perfectly level route
can be had by coming out neat Mr.
Woods’, about two miles from the court
house; but they will leave out the pros
perous suburban village of Barberville,
which would be a great wrong to
tbe enterprising property-owners of that
plnce, wbo have invested there aud
built up the town, on the faith that the
toad remain where it now is.
Tbe new road should be so run as to
tale in as mucu of Barberville as pos
sible, for it is not right to destroy the
value of private property for tde pub
lic benefit, without giving remutier -
tion in return. From Mr. John Craw
ford’s store on, the road could be put iu
good condition by the expenditure of
money to gradp down tbe hills. If we
can do away with the steep and rough
hills on each side of the river, and put
teams at Barberville over a good grade,
a great object will be attained.
At the next meeting of our council a
resolution will be introduced for the
city to make an appropriation to
ward the building of this new bridge,
and Athens should certainly be as liber
al as the county. Mr. R. L. Bloomfield
proposes to .give $500 from his private
puree, and- we learn that Mr. Sam
Woods will subscribe $200. The rest of
the money necessary to build a first-
class bridge can be easily raised among
those of our merchants and citizens who
are personally interested in this new ar
tery of commerce.
We would like to 6ee all the roads
leading out of Athens re-surveyed and
put on better ground. It is an impor
tant movement toward progress.

1 have not a shadow of a doubt as to
the nature of the disease with which he
*vas affected, and indeed no sane per-on
could doubt it for an instant after being
with him a short time.
While he suffered intense agony from
burning thirst and could not bear the
sound or sight of water, it neither threw
him into convulsions but it was similar
to that produced by a stroug electric
shock.
He talked rapidly all the time but
wns not wild but three times while l
was with him.
Once, about eleven o’clock Saturday
night, when t^cy were attempting to
dress the blister on his back, next after
midnight when he was possessed with
the idea that his nurses had made min
drunk, he seized a pistol and made des
perate efforts to shoot them, aud could
not he quieted until they had left the
house. • .
Then again when his last wild spell
came upon him, he imagined the door of
the room betweeu the children’s bed
room and the one he was iu, was the
door of i hr Banner office, aud that he
would be tardy about his work, and
screamed for the key and would uot be
soothed until we gave it to him.

This will te the best constructed rail
road in the south. The grades, curves
and slopes are superior to any other
road in this seection, while the iron and
eqiiimm-nts of all kinds ure the best
and most improved.
No one can estimate the beneficial
results of this road to Athens. It makes
our city the metropolis for all the coun
try on our east—extending over a hun
dred miles—and pieces us on the grand
est through line in the south. Ail new
railroads built in this section must come
to Athens to connect with the two
systems crossing here.
The Augusta & Chattanooga Railroad
men in Atlanta tell us there is no lon
ger doubt about the early completion of
the August & Chattanooga road. Three
seperate companies are now in the
field working for the road, and one or
the other will complete it. Mr. Rober
son, of Atlanta, has a company formed
to build as far Athens, and he is a man *
that knows no such word as fail. Mr.
R. M. Mitchell, one of the most success
ful railroad builders in the South, is
now negotiating for the money to com
plete the* line through to Atlanta;
while the old Augusta & Chattanooga
is still in the ring, but slightly disfigur
ed. There will probably be a coalition
between them and Mr. Mitchell. Ath
ens is a city of too much importance
to be left out, and it matters uot which
company builds the road we are sure of I

All tli&t medical skill and kind atten

darling soon passed rapidly into the
haven of eternal rest, trusting implicitly
in the Saviour, telling his mother Satur

There is but little doubt on the pub
lic mind now about tbe C. «fc M. road
being controlled by the ‘Richmond &
Danville, or that it will soon pass into
the control of that system. This will
deprive the G., O. & N. of a southern
outlet, and force the building of the
Georgia Midland to Athens. Coving
ton and Atlanta claim to have captured
it, but nothing has developed to war
rant this statement. There is nothing,
for Columbus to gain by holding to At
lanta, as she Iuib already two roads ter- }
minuting in that city, and has no need
of a third- Athens is the rightful and
only terminus for the Ge> rgia Midland,
and at some day in the near future it is
sure to be built to our city, and the G.,
C. & N. is the line to complete and con
trol it. This great line must have an
outlet to the traffio of the south and the
Memphis Valiev, and the shortest and
easiest way to get it is by extending tbe
Georgia Midland to Athens. This road
is now not paying operating expenses;
but the day it is completed to Athens,
it will become one of the most profita
ble lines in the South. It will give Co
lumbus a new and short line to tide
water on the Atlantic, and pass through
and develop one of the best sections of
our State. It is needless to speak of
what this road will do for Athens, as all
our people can but appreciate its bene
ficial effects. The Middle Georgia will
be built to Athens. Mark this predic
tion.

A Remedy—Cut This Out and Keep It.
Frauklin Dyer, a highly respectable
and intelligent farmer of Galena, Kent
county. Maryland, gives the following
as a sure cure for the bite of a tnad dog.
As will be seen, be has tested it with the
most gratifying results:
Elecampane is a plant well known to
most persons, and is to be found* in
many of our gardens. Immediately
after being bitten take one and a half
ounces of the root of the plant—the
green root is perhaps preferable, but
dried will answer and was used by
me—slice or bruise, put in a full pint of
fresh milk, boil down to half a pint,
strain, and when cold, drink it. fasting
at least six hours afterward. The next
morning repeat the dose, fasting, and
use two ounces of the root. Ou the
third morning take another dose, pre
pared as the last, and this will be suffi
cient. It is recommended after each
dose that nothing be eaten for at least
six hours.
I have a son who was bitten by a mad
dog eighteen years ago, and four ether
children of the neighborhood were bit
ten, they took the above dose and are
alive and well today. And I have
known a number of others who were
bitten and applied the same remedy.
It is supposed that the root contains
a principle whicn being taken by the
blood in its circulation, counteracts or
neutralizes the deadly effects of the vi
rus of hydrophobia.
I fell so much confidence in this sim
ple remedy that 1 am willling you

That Athens will soon have an

a matter of doubt. The contract

tbe most modern and improved con
struction, and all of its equipments first-

is always doubled, for when a man can
travel at the speed of from fifteen to
twenty miles an hour, he will never
walk. The greatest advantage of this
road will be to build up ana develop

mittee of students that the Facility had
decided that it was necessary in order to
preserve good order on the campus, to
abolish the dormitory, and that they
did not wish to deprive the boys of their
rooms without giving them fair warn
ing It was clearly stated by the Facul
ty that they had no special charges to
make against the boys who occupied the
building, but that the building afforded
a rendezvous for boys boarding out iu
town, and town men, from which they
oouM do mischief.
Now the facts in the case are this.
On last night a crowd of hoys gathered
on the campus for the purpose of mak
ing a bonfire, celebrating the recent
election. In this crowd there were
some of those veritable I reshmen who
should be at home hard at work, and al
so some toughs from out iu town.
Not satisfied with the boxes and bar
rels that were given them they must
break locks and get into the basement
of one of the buildings to hunt for fuel.
The marauders were smoking, and cigar
stumps were thrown down among the
rnhhish, thus endangering the building
to fire, lu addition to this they forced
opeii the chapel doors, breaking the
locks. These and other things of simi
lar import were indulged in.
Now it should be understood by all
that the sentiment of the students gen
erally is just as much against such acts
of violence as the sentiment of the fac
ulty. Most of the students occupying
rooms on the campus are especially civ
il, and it grieves them very much that
they occur. But there are .the few who
care for nothing and respect the rights
and properly of no one. These are the
agents of al> the m ; ‘<'Mef.
At seven last ni>.h there was a mats
meeting of me Uui it.itury rats and Chau
cellor Boggs was culled in, and in a
very simple, earnest and effective man
ner he laid the whole matter before the
boys. He told them just what the fac
ulty butt decided to do, and talked it all
over in a business manner. Tbe boys
fuliv agree with him and the faculty on
the ground they take that something
must be done.
Aftei tbe Chancellor had left tbe boys
decided to hold another mass meeting
Friday night and see if some measure
could not be adopted to come to terms
with the faculty. It is the general sen
timent of the boys that a committee of
their number should be appointed
to report the names of any person mis
behaving on tbe grounds. Such a com
mittee of plucky men could manage it
without any trouble.
It is highly important that some such
measure be adopted, for to close the
dormitory would send mauy of the best
boys from the University, because they
are uot able to pay expensive board out
iu town. The boys ar* fully aroused ou
tbe subject aud it is to he hoped that
ms’ters will soon be adjusted and the
Fr. shmen stopped from their lawless
pranks.
