THE ATHENS HANNE1? TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 2, i890
ik
THE JACKSON COUNTY ISHMAELITE*
Editor Craig, of the Jackson Hers
aid, is evidently laboring under tbe
hallucination that tbe Lord made a
great mistake in creating the world,
and it js his mission on earth to re«
form and remodel our mundane
sphere. That newly-discovered In
dian Messiah, now agitating the red
skins of the West, is a very small
potato compared with this venomous
ink-slinger of onr neighboring town
of Jefferson—in Mr. Craig’s estima
tion. If Editor Craig has ever writ
ten a kind word about any man or
institution, it has escaped our sight.
He seems to be afflicted with an in
curable case of sore-headism, and
like a blind adder, strikes at every
thing in reach.
Our first acquaintance with Mr.
Craig dates back eight years ago,
when be wa9 old man Lawshe’s right
bower on the Gainesville Southron.
It was our unpleasant duty at that
time to remove this nest of “My
Dear Mattism,” with a long-handled
shovel ; and when Col. Candler was
elected and Speer’s organ broken
up, Craig, like Othello, found his oc
cupation gone. From that day to
this he was seized with a most vin
dictive antagonism to The Banner
editor, and never lets an opportunity
escape to squirt hi9 spleen at our of
fending head. Nothing that we could
write or do pleased him. He saw
ambition, greed for office or self-in
terest at the bottom of all our edito
rials. He overlooked the (act that
we had never even hinted that we
wanted reward tor our services to the
organized democracy ; while Mr.
Craig—a man who had done all in
his power to disrupt the same party
—had held office even under Mr.
Cleveland’s administration.
About two years ago Mr. Craig
returned to Georgia and became
editoi of the Jackson Herald, and
announced that it would be run as
an organized democratic paper. But
he had scarcely planted himself in
the editorial chair before he began
to show that
“ You may break, you may ruin the rase if you
will.
But the scent of the roses will cling to lt«tUl."
triumphant election, Editor Craig
continued his slurs at the expense
of that gentleman..
For the edification of Mt. Craig,
we will state that The Banner edi
tor is not an aspirant for any office
within tbe gift of the American peo
ple, and never for an instant have we
contemplated being a candidate. But
if we are ever an aspirant, we shall
make our race within the organized
ranks, and rely upon the men we
have fought with so long for our
votes. And we flatter ourself that
if it is ever necessary to call on our
friends in Jackson count)', that, they
will not refuse us their support. In
the recent Senatorial contest, both
the Jackson representatives stood by
The Banner and repudiated the po
sition of their own county paper.
We have nothing personal against'
Editor Craig. We recognize in him
one of the brainiest young men on
the Georgia press ; and if he would
only turn his venom loose on the
enemies, instead of the friends, of
organized democracy, he would be a
valuable recruit to our ranks. The
Democratic party and the Farmers’
Alliance are bigger things than even
the Jackson Herald and Editor
Craig, and in his desperate attempt
to revolntionize politics and the peo
ple, Mr. Craig reminds us of the old
fable of the tail trying to wag the
dog.
Mr. Jas. K. Kin non. in tbe San-
dersviile Progress, brings forward
statistics to show that the death-
rate is greater among men who re
main at home than when they en
gage in battle. This is one instance
where figures tell deliberate and in
credible lies.
The official returns from the ten
Illinois congressional districts, out
side of Chicago, which were carried
by republicans in 1888 show that
the decrease from the republican
vote of 1888 was 33,223.
In the death of Ex-Gov. James M.
Smith, Georgia loses a good and
true man and the Alliance an able
defender. Gov. Smith was reared a
poor boy, and his sympathies were
always with the yeomanry of our
State.
A district in the central provinces
of India is being ravaged by a pack
of wolves, which have killed forty
cnttle-watchers, who were chiefly
youths, of both sexes, from eight to
sixteen years of age.
as that of a rattlesnake. Very few ne
groes would have anything to do with
Ids burial on account of their supert is
tious fears in regard to a death of this
character. There are several of these
blue-gum negroes in Athens, .and they
are avoided by our colored population
as a rabid dog.
A New Jail For Wilkes.—Wilkes
county is to have a new jail. lion. J.
Barnett, has decided to bnild one
consisting of eight stone cells. The
E lans were prepared by McDonald Bros.,
louisville, Ky.
Raiding Moonsiunkrs.—Revenue of
ficer Yancey Carter is taking oil' viola
tors of the federal laws, every week or
so fr m the lower end of Madison coun
ty- There is but little illicit distilling
now going on in this section, and most
of the offenses are for selling without a
license.
ANOTHER
HOTEL PROJECT.
THERE IS A STRONG PROBABILITY
THAT ATHENS WILL HAVE
TWO NEW HOTELS.
When our last fair wa9 inaugura
ted, Editor Craig began to knife
Athens ; and was only restrained
•when some of the patrons of his
paper in our midst showed their
displeasure in a tangible and con
vincing manner. The Jackson Her
ald, under its present management,
has never let an opportunity escape
to stab Athens in the interest of
Gainesville. It is not on account of
any lack of patronage from our mer
chants ; but it will be remembered
that it was the Young Democracy of
Glarke that lead the van in the great
battle against Speer and his Gaines
ville organ. Perhaps this fact has
something to do with Mr. Craig’s
dislike to our city and its people.
Scarcely an issue of his paper has
appeared but that it contained some
sneer at TnE Banner editor. We
paid no attention to this for two rea
sons : First, the people of this sec
tion' know both Mr. Craig and the
writer, and nothing he can say or do
will affect our political standing ;
second, there was nothing to be
gained by entering into a controver
sy with the Herald. If that paper
had circulation or influence sufficient
to imperil tbe success of the demos
cratic party, we would feel it our
disagreeable duty to resurrect our
guano born, and scatter him as
we did his old boss, Pete Lawshe ;
bat as it is, Editor Craig is barms
less, and after this parting blast from
our pen, he can either imitate Allen
Candler’s skunk, and stink himself
to death, or rear upon his bind
legs and howl himself hoarse. We
have a higher and nobler mission in
view than to exchange venom with a
disappointed politician.
Another cause that Editor Craig
has for grievance against The Ban
ner editor is, when the Alliance
movement was organized, our paper
at once came to the defence of the
farmers, and the Herald made that
organization a target for sarcasm and
ridicule. As a natural consequence,
the Herald lost subscribers by the
hundred, in his own county, all of
which are to-day enrolled on The
Banner’s bookB. This of course
acted like the application of turpen
tine to a galled jade. We never used
any unfair means to secure these
subscribers ; but it is unnatural for
a man to patronize a paper that
holds up to contempt an organization
tb which himself and neighbors be-
. long. .
And again, when tbe Democratic
Convention of the Ninth district met
and nominated Hon. Tbos. E. Winn
for congress, so far from giving that
gentleman its support, the Herald
began'to knife him in the back, simj
ply because he was an AUianceman

“ Brother Gantt is having tough
luck for a ‘Farmers’ Angel.’ We
shall probably hear from him in the
future on the Ingratitude of Drag
Nets. Gantt expected to get in the
way of the drag net, of course, but it
wasn’t writ, and what ain’t writ ain’t
to be. The Banner could give us
some interesting reading if it would,
and we expect it is in a humor to do
it.”—Jackson Herald.
Whenever it is necessary to catch
The Banner editoi in a drag net, he
will always be found in the organ
ized democratic whirlpool: and not,
like Editor Craig, of the Herald,have
to be dragged out of the office of an
independent republican newspaper,
that expired fighting the only party
that stands between the while people
of the South and negro supremacy.
The reported destruction of the
pyramids for building material arose
from the removal of loose stone at the
hase, to lay bare the lower courses
and display the structures to greater
ad vantage.
Alter the year 1892. Harrison will
be about as dead a duck in the re
publican mud-puddle as is Hayes.
North Georgia Conference.—This
body meets in Washington, Ga., on
Wednesday next, and the hospitable
citizens of that place are making great
preparation for the reception and en
tertainment of the visitors. This will
be Rev. Mr. Anderson’s la*t year in
Athens, and cur people deeply regret to
lose this popular minister.
The Burn Medicine.—Mrs. Bush, of
Brandon, has contracted with a com
pany in Chattanooga to sell her famous
burn specific. It will still be manufac
tured at Brandon and shipped to that
point. It will be a sad loss to the coun
try to miss the genial presence of Dr.
Wylie Bush, and it is hoped that he will
continue on tbe road.
Holding Cotton.—The Danielsville
Monitor says: “Along the road from
Danielsville toCamesville we saw many
bales of cotton. That means that the
farmers are fighting capitalists.” The
same report comes from ali over the
State. Farmers are not selling their
cotton at the prices ottered, hut will
hold back for an advance.

Sick.—Rev. H. H. Parks, Presiding
Elder for this district, is quite sick at
his home in Athens. Rev. Lee Lyle
will officiate for him at the district
meeting in Watkinsville.
Rotten Corn.—Mr. Tom Berry, of
Oglethorpe, informs us that about one-
third of his corn was injured this year
by the wet weather. The same com
plaint comes from all over this section.
The Death Roll.—Oglethorpe coun
ty last week lost three of her best citi
zens : Judge Hilliard J. Hall, Mr. W.
F. Mattox, and Mr. W. T. Banks.
Judge Hall was born in 1811, and was
one of the best men we ever knew.
An Honored Visitor.—On last
Tuesday, Mr. John Robiqson, who is
at the head of the G , C. & N. road, vis
ited Abbeville, S C., accompanied by.
several officers of the road. The citi
zens and town official met the visitors at
the depot, and gave them a warm recep
tion. Athens would like to have Mr.
Robinson visit the Classic City of
Georgia.
Athens may have another hotel!
The probability is strongy in favor
of it!
Mr. Andrews, who has just comple
ted a palatial hotel in LaGrange, con- j
templates building one in Athens!
There is every probability that Ath j
ens will have a new and handsome ho !
tel, in addition to the one to be erected
by Mr. Rufe Reaves.
Mr. Andrews has just completed th*
construction of a large, handsome aud j
commodious hotel in LaGrange, and •
one that is quite an ornament to that
town. It is fitted up with every mod
ern convenience and improvement.
This gentleman now contemplates
coming to Athens and erecting one
somewhat similar to the one in La
grange so far as architectural design is
concerned, but erection will be gov
erned by a view to harmony of propor
tion in connection with the size of the
town. -
Athens affords a wide enough field
for hotel enterprises, and we are confi
dent that in event of its being built it
will be a remunerative enterprise, and
furnish no grounds for complaint of
lack of patronage. I he time is now
abundantly ripe for this movement and
the sooner it is materialized the better
it will be for the prosperity and prog
ress of Athens.
Encourage ir, and there is every rea
sonable prospect that we will get it.

The next House of Representatives
will have the largest party majority
in the history of the American con
gress. It will consist of 243 demo
crats and 82 republicans. The
densely crowded democratic side and
the sparsely populated republican
side will present a sad and dispirit
ing spectacle to Reed and the half-
dozen survivors of the present bouse.
A photograph of the Fifty-first con
gress, in which Reed was at his
“bes'/’ and the republicans were in
full swing, has been preserved as an
interesting souvenir of one of the
most important periods in the his
tory of the party. No one on the re
publican side, however, will care to
preserve and cherish a photograph
of the Fiftvssecond congress.
On a Bridal Tope.—Mr. Charlie
Shackefford, an old Lexington boy, is
on a visit to his uncle, Mr. R. C. Latimer
with his loveiy bride. Mr. Shack
elford now lives in Tennessee, and is a
fine business man. We bid the youm-
couide a hearty welcome to the Classic
City.
Oglethorpe.—Mr. L. M. Johnsor
was in to sec lis yesterday. He says th
cotton fields in Oglethorpe are fast be
ing denuded, and good crops are mad<
Mr. Jo'inson thinks cotton will be won
10 cents by March. He will not mo\
to Athens before next September.
The reform ballot system worked
well on election day wherever it was
in force, but perhaps the most stri
king proof of its merit is furnished
by Indiana, where the enormous
democratic majority shows what can
be accomplished in that State by an
election entirely free from the shame
less frauds which have so long cor
rupted the ballot box. It was a coup
plete preventive of the blocks of five
and other fraudulent republican
schemes, and gave the democrats the
largest majority since the war.
It is stated by the New YoVk Her
ald that one of the causes of the
present uneasiness among the Sioux
Indians has arisen from the fact,
that, although after much persuasion
they ceded about half of their reser
vation to the United States govern
ment, a piece of territory containing
11,000,000 acres, lor *14,COO,000,and
that settlers have been allowed to go
upon tbe land, the present adminis
tration has been too busy piling up
pensions lo bother with paying the
Indians.
In the Circuit Court at Lima, Ohio,
Miss Mary Shull has won in her suit
for damages for breach of promise
This fact is of political interest for
the reason that if Mr. Shull had not
cheered for Cleveland during tne
lb88 campaign, Mr. DelbartLehman
would, without doubt, have mariied
her, according to the then arranged
programme. The amount awarded
by the jury was *1,000.
The latest trust takes in all the
principal makers of reaping ma
chines. It will have a capital of
*35.000.000, and will employ 50,000
workmen and 10,000 drummers, and

Still Complaining.—Complaints a»
still prevalent about the scarcity <
cooks, and the housewives are at a lo?
to gi apple successfully with the situa
tlon; We suppose that as soon as th
lleecy .staple is picked and stored awaj
that the cook famine will disappear.
An Old Jug.—There was a sale ir
Clarke county a few months ago, an
in a lot of things sold there was a bait
gallon jug which sold for sixty-fiv
cents. This jug was brought from Vir
ginia over 75 years ago as a travelin
companion. A shaving cup was als >
sold for seventy-five cents. Thest,
were bought by relatives as old family
relies.—Oglethorpe Echo.
Deaths.—Mr. Win. B. Sanders, a
highly respectable old gentleman, liv
ing near Dowdy, in Madison county,
and a brother of Mrs. R. G. Williams,
died last Saturday. Mr. Jos. W. Wil
kinson, of Wilkes county, died on Mon
day morning early. He was one of the
leading citizens of tins section.
Returned From Texas—Mr. Bud
Evans, one of Madison county’s old
boys, who went to iluhama a few years
since, has returned to the old red hills
of Georgia to make his future home. A
great many people from this section,
who moved to Texas a few years ago,
with a hope to better themselves, are
returning, and say that Georgia is a
much better place to live than in the
west.

White Caps.—White caps are said to
be numerous along the river in Mudi
son and Elbert counties. A reward of
two thousand dollars has been ottered
for the capture of the leader. These so-
called white caps are said only to be
a committee of white men organized to
put down the depredations of thieving

The Money Market.—Our financial
situation is now getting a little easier,
and it is hoped that in a few days there
will be plenty of money to move the
cotton crop. One of the causes for hard
times is that t ie crop is being held back
for better prices. Many farmers have not
even paid their guano debts, and say
they won’t let loose their cotton at the
prices offered.
Convict Escaped.—We learn that a
convict escaped from Col. Smith’s camp
last week, but we have not learned
whether he has been captured or not.
His pursuers were near enough to hear
himjump into the river at one time.
Col. Smith has one of the best regulated
camps in the state, and it isseldotn that
one of his prisoners gets away. They
have every safeguard and protection
thrown around them, and are at the
same time kimllv treated.

three weeks ago, died from his woun

severe cold an l cough this winter, and
if the weather is severe, his physician
advises him not to leave his room. Our
paper has a large patronage in Jackson,
that we highly appreciate.
The Liquor Business.—There is not
one-baif the iquor now sold in Athens
as a few months since. Since the de
cision of Mayor Brown our drug stores
have quit the business, a9 they have no
desire or intention to violate the law.
The blind tiger busness is also playing
out, and if our city father will only
back up Mayor Brown, this traffic will
soon be at an end in Athens.
A Blue-Gummed Negro.—Henry
Ferguson, colored, died at LaGrange
Monday, from a bite on the hand thre i
months ago by Joe Strozier. Blood
poisoning ensued, and he could get no
relief. The negroes claim that Strozier
is a bine-gummed negro, and regard a

It costs our citizens fully 25 per cent,

our great southern staple. Provisions,
farm supplies, clothing, etc., are way

A Good Joke Told on a Rur al Merchant
Near Athens.
We recently heard a story on a mer
chant doing business in acounty adjoin
ing Clarke, that is too good to keep. He
had occasion to order a bill of goods
from an Atlanta wholesale house, who
replied to him with a writing machine.
Whei^our country friend received a let
ter printed, he grew verv indignant,
and wrote back to tbe Atlanta firm
that if he didn’t live in a city, he could
read writing, and it was an . insult to
his education mid intelligence t<> send
home that letter to him printed. He
didn’t care to do business with a house
that would offer such an unnecessary
and gratuitous insult to a good custom
er, and therefore countermanded his
order.
The Atlanta firm did not want to lose
the trade of such a prompt paying pa
tron, and so sent one of their drummers
to explain and smooth up matters. We
have not learned how he succeeded.
•HORSES AND S
An Interesting Fact.—It is not
generally known that Congressman
Kilgore,’whose boo’, has gained such
extended notoriety from its having kick
ed open a door shut by order of his
highness Dictator Reed, is a native of
Jackson count)', Ga., and has many rel
atives there. A museum in Chicago
has in its possossion this famous boot,
which is on exhibition. Old Jackson
county is renowned for her fine speci
mens of mental and physical man, and
she him sent forth many statesmen.
Gin House Burned.—Mr. Aristides
Calloway, of Wilkes county, lost his gin
ho. se and press by fire last Friday. He
was away from home at the time but bis
son was *>t the gin at work. The fire
was discovered in the lint room at about
3 o’clock in the afternoon and was al
most at once beyond control. Whether
friction caused it or one of the omni
present marches, he does not know. He
lost about ten bales of cotton, of which
two were packed, and a valuable quan
tity of seed. No insurance. Mr. Calla
way talks of it like a philosopher. He
is a brother to our esteemed fellow citi
zen, Mr. Miles Calloway.
Valued at $20,000.—Mr. Umbach re
ceived a communication yesterday from
a Louisville patent agent that he had
carefully inspected his new invention
and that it should bring at a moderate
estimate $20,000. This he said be
thought he could command readily, and
in all probability, Mr. Umbach will put
it in bis hands for sale.
An Accomplished Scholar.—An
drew A. Lipscomb, Esq , who is a guest
in our city, is an accomplished, finish
ed scholar arid a polished orator. He
is Assistant Attorney General of Wash
ington, D. C., which post he dignifies
and graces with his varied talents. He
is the nephew of the Dr. Lipscomb,
and partakes of bis social and mental
attributes.
La Grippe Has Reappeared.—This
old disorder seems to have fixed its
clutches on Athens again. It is one
constant sneeze'from morning until
night, and bad colds are unusually
prevalent. We hope that Athens may
be spared a recurrence of this Russian
disease, which spread like wifd fire last
December. May be it will come period
ically. This is consolatory to our citi
zens, but “forewarned is forearmed.”
W regret to learn of the continued
ir ,v ^position of Mr. W. VcK. Cobb. He
i suffering from a sprained ankle, and
i' will be dome months before he can be
out again.
THE HYDROPHOBIA PATIENTS.
Messrs. Snead and Rowland Doing
Well In New York.
Information received in the city yes
terday states that Messrs. Snead and
Rowland are progressing well at the
Pasteur Hospital, in New York. They
are not at ali uneasy, and now think
that even did the dog that bit them have
hydiophobia, they will be relieved of
all danger.
Some of our physicians still doubt
the dog being really mad, and that the
little hoy’s death was caused by fear and
nervous excitement, brought about by
apprehensions.
None of the other parties bitten at the
same time show any symptoms of the
dread disease. It is said, however, that
only anout one person in fourthatis
bitten by a rabid animal really dies
with hydrophobia, although the same
dog may attack them all.
THE COTTON CROP.
The Largest Yield Ever Known In
The South.
Yesterday a oarty of gentlemen were
together discussing the wealth of our
city and country. It is generally ad
mitted that since the death of Mr. Pbin-
izy—who left behind $1.000,000—that
Athens is without a millionaire. Only
one man in our city is worth a half mil
lion; one will go about $250 000, and
there are perhaps a half dozen who can
raise over $100,000. A number are
worth $50,000 or over. The wealth of
Athens is fast beeomi ng scattered and
more equally divided.
But the li.tle fortunes of our Atheni
ans are but a drop in the bucket com
pared to the colossal wealth of northern
capitalists. The richest man in Amer
ica is John D. Roekfeller, who is worth
$135,000,000. Next comes W. W. A-nor,
with $120,000,000; then Cornelius Van

Cold-Blooded Murder.
There wts a cold-blooded mnrdor at
Power’s camp on the G. C. & N. rail
road last Sunday night about seven
o’clock. Richard Henry shot and kill
ed Dolphus Kennedy, both colored.
Dolphus Kennedy went into his shan-
tjLaud Richard Henry went to a pine
tree near the shanty, and when Kenedy
came out he fired three shots at him,
one taking effect in the back, one in the
left shoulder and the other in the thigh.
Kennedy died in a short while. Henry
ran down the railroad, and met several
hands, and told them what had hap
pened anfi said ‘‘he intended to shoot
Kennedy, but did not intend to kill
him.” These hands made no attempt
to arrest him, as he bad his pistol in
his hand. As soon as possible a posse
of men were organized and began
searching for the murderer, and yester
day morning Sheriff Cosby being noti
fied of what bad took place, joined
them, and as far us we can learn he has
not yet. been captured, and the camp is
wild* with excitement and confusion.
The county has offered a reward of
$50 for his capture and delivery.—Law-

Is it a matter of surprise, then, that
the toiling and impoverished masses
should see themselves made tbe victims
of the oppressive powers of combined
wealth, and not only their own crops,
but necessities of life,be inflated or con
tracted to suit tfie ends of these money
kings? The little wealth of the south
is but a drop in the bucket. The real
tyrants will be found in these mauy-
times millionaires of the north.

Lost Dogs.—Two gentlemen from
Athens went bird hunting below Craw
ford, Thanksgiving day day, carrying
along a pair of flue pointers. On dis
embarking from the traiu they told
their dogs to “Go.” Well, the canines
did go,—and from that hour to this not
a sigg of them has been seen. The
sportsmen spent all day searching' for
their lost dogs, and returned home mi
nus both gaum and pointers.
