THE ATHENS BANNER: TUESDAY fORNINU, JANUARY 1_9f 1 &01
OR. KENDALL’S FIRST SERMON.
We never heard a better discourse
than that delivered by the pastor of
the First M. E. Church on Sunday
last. This was Dr Kendall's first
appearance in our city, and he cer-
tainly captured the hearts of the
Athenians. His voice is musical
and clear,and can be distinctly heard
in every part of the building. Our
new pastor preaches short sermons—
less than three-quarters of an hour—
bat in this space of time he analyzes
his subject thoroughly, and his lan
guage is so plain and beautiful, and
his illustrations so happily made,
that bis congregation sits enraptur.
ed from the opening to the close.
We predict that great good will re*
salt from Dr. Kendall's appointment
to our city.
A RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSY.
The Methodists and Baptists of
Douglasville are having a joint dis-»
cession on their creeds, through
Doctors Armistead aDd Carswell.
Both of these ministers are well
known throughout this section of
Georgia.
We cannot see what possible good
will result from such religion contro
versies; but, on the other band, the,}
serve tostire up bitterness and strife
between the two churches. If Dr.
Armistead argued until doomsday,
he wouldn’t change Dr. Carswell’s
firmly settled religious opinions, and*
vica versa. The only result that ]
these two clergymen can possibly
accomplish, is to be bring themselves
notoriety, and waste their eloquence
and time, that had far better be ex
pended in enlightening their respec
tive flocks, and in teaching Chris,
tian love and unity .instead of encour
aging dissention and discord be
tween congregations striving for the
same goal, although they may verge
a little from the path marked out by
particular creeds.
In this enlightened age, no one is
so finatical as to believe that just be
cause a man is not baptised in some
peculiar manner, or tbat he may
honestly and conscietiously differ in
some miner church detailed, that he
must be damned. Such extreme and
arbitrary religious views were enter
tained in the seventeenth century—
when men would take up arms and
wage wars in support of • a certain
posture in church—but the light of
reason and truth has now broke
upon the world, and we are advanc
ingin both enlightenment and true
religion.
Both. Doctors Armistead and
Carswell are extremists, who are
doiog the cause of their respective
churches far more harm than they
can possibly accomplish good. They
should be made to quit their sensa
tional foolishness, or let a delegation
of both Metodists and Baptists lie
these two wranglers together, and
consign them to some oassis in the
Okefenokee swamp, where they can
talk and argue themselves to death,
without dfsturbing the peace and
unity of a civilized and Christian
community 7 .
Doctors Armistead and Carswell
have done moie to breed strife and
disoord between these respective
cburcLes, and left in their wake
mors bitterness and ill-feeling, than
the greatest enemies of religion
could do.
The writer of this article has al
ways inclined to the Baptist faith—
as be was reared from a child in that
belief—but at the
them as to farmers. Now. had this
bill been a law, our section would
not feel the slightest effects of the
financial stagnation. Farmers would
have brought their cotton to market
as soon as it was gathered, dr j ostl
ed it in a government warehouse,
drawn their SO percent, thereon, and
| settled the r obligations the day they
were due. But instead of this, when
our great ■ Southern staple sold for
less than cost of production, the
planter kept his crop at home, so as
to reap the benefit of any advance in
price. This of course reacted on the
merchants- and the whole country,
and seriously threatened the finan
cial situation.
Time is fast vindicating the Farm
ers’ Alliance and ail ol its demands
Conservative and fair-minded men
see that to elevate and build up our
agricultural community, and render
the farmer independent—so that he
can market bis crops as bis judge
ment dictates—is to add to the pios-
perity of every class and every in
dustry.
Tie Sub-Treasury bill is neither
dead nor sleepeth. This great prin
ciple and most righteous demand is
gaining friends and strength every
day. It is onlj’ a question of time
when the non-perishable agricultu
ral products of our country will be
made by law a valid security on
which to issue money’.

THE MECCA
Deafness Can’t be Cured
by local applications,as they can’t reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to eure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets inflamed
.you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catairh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.

Forty Two Hands Employed-Two
Teams Actively Engaged—The Im
plements of the Finest Make.
AN ANNUAL “CHESTNUT.”
We see from the Georgia papers
that Comptroller-General W. A.
Wright is now engaged in sending
out his annual list of complimentary
letters, wherein lie describes every
Tax-Collector as “-lie best and most
efficient officer iu the world,” and
the county be represents ns “ the
banner county of our grand old Em
pire State.” This has been an an
nual practice with Mr. Wrigbt ever
si nee he was elected to the office he
now so worthily fills. It is a harm
less and innocent little piece of flat*
tery, that hurts no one and makes
all the boys feel good. All that
these letters cost Mr. Wrigbt is a
little exercise on a copying press,
and as few of the Tax Collectors see
the reprints of these kind endorse
ments reproduced by other officers
all over the State, each bugs the
hallucination to his bosom that he is
the high cockolorum among the
money-grabbers for Georgia, and the
especial pride and pet of the Comp
troller General.
When a Tax Collector receives one
of Wright’s eulogistic epistles, he
frantically rushes to the nearest
printing office, that bis constituency
may know what a treasure they have
drawn at the ballot-box, and how
they have done themselves proud iu
his election. The kind- hearted edit*
tor smiles as lie reads the Comp
troller-General’s letter—having seen
it reproduced in so many of liis ex
changes that he knows it by heart.
But lie is too generous to mar the
joy of that elated Collector, and so
inserts it among railroad schedules
and patent medicine notices, with
the hope of escaping the charge of
reproducing stale news.
Comptroller-Wright is a model ofi
ficer, and there is no need of his re
sorting to such tacties to enhance
his popularity. We would suggest
a change—let him substitute for
these hoary old episiles an annual
proclamation,in which he willdeclarc

A Nice Compliment For the Oconee
Enterprise.
Mr. Brittain, of the Empire State
says nothing pays better than a judi
eious use of printer’s ink. This Arm
is a liberal patron of the press, and has
built up a splendid business. In speak
ing of weekly papers, Mr. B. says the
best investment be ever made was a $5
card in the Oconee Enterprise. He
knew of over $500 worth of trade one
notice brought iu, for the parties called
his uttentiouto the fact. Our Athens
merchants should patronize the neigh-
hsriiu papers. They circulate among
the very class of people whose trade
they seek, and always return a hand
some dividend on the-investment. The
weekly papers publised arournd our
city are all model sheets, and reflect
credit upon their ed tors t.nd respective
counties. We are proud of the work
being done by our brotherquill-drivers,
and arc always ready to extend them a
helping hand. There should be no
jealousy or antagonism between the
press. There is plenty of room for us
all and the papers should work together
iu unity and harmony.

Dirt broken!
The electric road crystallizing!
Over a quarter of a mile of track laid!
Mr. Voss broke the first dirt on the
new electric line at eight o’clock
promptly yesterday He remained on
the grounds the whole day and in the
future he will give it his personal
supervision.
Over a quarter of a mile was laid and
fully half a mile of ground is graded
preparatory to receiving the cross ties
and irons.
The irons are forty pound steel ones
and the cross ties are of the finest white
post oak.
There are 42 hands regularly employ
ed and they are working splendidly.
The measurements for the curves
have been taken and the curved rails
will be of the costliest rolled steel.
The remainder of the rails are daily
expected and Mr. Mathews will haul a
large number of crossties to the field of
operation today.
The boulevard presents quite an an
imatud scene, and besides the hands two
teams are in active service. Mr. Voss
says that by Saturday night, if the sup
ply of crossties aud irons are not inade
quate that the track will be laid from
Barber street to the park.
He also lays great emphasis on the
fact that if all objections are removed
concerning the Hill street line, he will
agree to have the Milledge avenue line,
via Hill street, in active operation at
the same moment as the boulevard.
Go out on the boulevard!
It will be worth a visit!
The new electric cars have been or
dered from the American Car Equip
ment Company, of Jersey City, one of
the best known car manufactories iu
America. There are four of them, two
to run out on the boulevard and, if the
right-of-way is secured through Hill
street, two will run out Milledge ave
nue. These cars are elegant ones and
are of unexcelled workmanship.
Everything is in trim order, the
house to receive the motors is in process
of construction and before the first day
of June you can take a ride on the Ath
ens Electric car line.

An Ample Quantity of the Famous
Koch Lymph—Experiments to be
Made In the Presence ol the Med

The Koch lymph!
To be received in Athens!
A God-send to consumptives!
Dr. I. H. Goss will conduct experi
ments !
After the lapse of a few days a costly
quantity of the world renowned Koch
lymph will be received in Athens. This
substance, of magical medical composi
tion, is concocted on a limited scale,
and Athens is indeed fortunate to re
ceive any of it.
The mysterious liquid, where sub
tle power arrests the inroads of ghastly
consumption, will be forwarded to
Dr. Goss by Dr. Loomis, o' New York
who is regarded as a medical luminary
the world over.
Dr. Goss is a graduate of the Loomis
Laboratory, in New York City, and is
on friendly terms with the famous
physician who is at the head of it. As
soon as the precious lymph arrives it
will be inoculated in the presence of
our physicians and the most stringent
precautions will be observed In order to
preclude the faintest possibility of dan
ger.
The merits of the lymph have been
firmly established in the medical mind
of the world, and it has wrought many
miraculous cures.
The citizens will await with great
interest the advent of this panacea in
Athens, and the results of the inocu
lation.

THE SUB-TREASURY BILL.
The eleciion of Gordon to the sen
ate in Geoigia does not by any
means sound the death-knell of the
Sub-Treasury bill, for this great
measure for the relief of our agricul
tural population grows in popularity
and strength daily. In order to se
cure re-election, Senator Vance, of
North Carolina, is ready to swallow
tbe Sub-Treasury pill—“if the peo
ple of the Sta’.e demaud it,’’and this
they are certain to do. Vance was
very bold and determined in bib op
position, until tbe Alliancemen of
, Booth Carolina defeated Hampton,
when be at once saw the writing upon
the wall and changed his attitude.
The threatened panic — which
could have been relieved in the South
long ago by our farmers marketing
their cotton—has about convinced
our mer ‘.bants tbat the Sub-Treaa«
spot of the universe, and every tax-
collector the best aud most efficient
officer that was ever forced from the
retirement of private life to sacrifice
his talent and honor on thcslmoe ol
duty at a certain per centum of the
tax assessments <f our State.

any connection with the Farmers’
Alliance.—Brunswick Times.

Gordon organ in South Geoigia,

express what other Gorodn papers

Mr. Peter A. Summey Joins the Silent
Majority.
An aged and respectable citizen has
been summoned home by his Master.
Yesterday morning at two o’clock
Mr. Peter A. Summey died at his home
near South Lumpkin street.
For several months Air. Summey had
been iu failing health, although he was
still able to be around attending to his
business. Last week he was confined
to his room and on yesterday as tile
morning hours were ushered in the soul
of this kind and genial old gentleman
crossed over the river to join the silent
majority.
Mr. P. A. Summey was a native of
North Carolina and came to Georgia in
the forties. For nearly half a century
lie has moved among the people of Ath
ens an honored and respected citizen.
11c came here when Athens was quite
a small place and had witnessed the
marvelous changes through which it
passed up to the present time.
For many years he was engaged in
the wholesale hardware business, as a
member of the firm of Summey & New
ton.
After the war, Mr. Summey contin
ued his business until several years ago
he took charge of the dormitory on the
campus, which he rau for many years
Kind and considerate towards the
many youths who stayed at his house,
ready to assist them and quick to over
look the petty faults of budding youth,
he will be missed by scores of young
nieu who have graduated from the Uni
versity when they cast aside the cares
of business life and look back to those
happy days when they were college
boys at the old Summey House.
A devout and consistent member of
the Methodist Episcopal church for
over two score yeais lie walked among
men, leading an upright and Chistiau
life. As regularly as the Sundays roll
ed around, he could be found in bis ac
customed pew at the First Methodist
church worshipping the Lord in whom
he had put his trust.
Rapidly the old landmarks are fading
from our sight, and with the deatli of
Mr. Summey another passes outof view.
Tenderly aud lovingly we lay their
mortal remains away in mother earth;
we know that they are the last repre-
i-entatives of a uoDh r and grander civ
ilization than we can ever hope iu «his
material age to equal again.
Air. Summey leaves a wife to mourn
his death; one who has been his cou •
paniou for scores of years and who iu
love and honor has shared In his joys
and sorrows. To her the sympathies of
his numerous friends go out in this su
preme hour of afllictio. The following
iifelong friends ot Mr. Summey will act
as ;-jali bearers at the funeral:
l*r. John A. Hnnnicutt, Messrs. E.
R. Hodgson, F. W. Lucas, R. I,. AIos
S. Al. Hunter and R. K. Reaves.
The funeral services will be conduc
ted at his residence this mornsng at 10
o’clock by Rev. H. H. Parks, presiding
eider of tliis district.
IMPASSABLE ROAD-
A WATCH WITH A HISTORY.
A Watch That Is Clustered With Un
canny Associations.
Air. J. B. Reese, of tho Y. M. C. A ,
has in his possession a watch that has
a queer history. The watch was orig
inally the property of a raftsman on
the Columbia, who pawned it to a sa
loon keeper to procure some red-eye to
alleviate the horrors of delirium tre
mens. The saloon keeper sold the
watch to a drummer out in Iowa who
committed suicide, leaving the watch
to a friend of Mr. Reese’s, from whom
Mr. Reese procured the watch. It is an
excellent time piece and tbe works are
peculiarly valuable. This watch has a
queer history and we believe it stands
peerless for the sinister associations
that invest it.

Catarrh.
Catarrh is a most disgusting ailment
and yet many unnecessarily suffer with
the disease. They will try local appli
cations, which do no good whatever,
but fail to try such constitutional treat
ment. as is afforded by the use of B B.
B. (Botanic Blood Balm), which re
moves the mucous poison in the blood
balm and thus eradicates the cause of
the disease.
N. C. Edwards, Lampassas Springs,
Tex., writes: “I was grealy annoyed
with eatarrh which impaired my gen
eral h<ai’h. The disci arge from my
nose was very offensive, and I used va
rious advertised remedies without bene
fit until finally the use of B. B. B. en
tirely cured me. I am proud to recom
mend a blood remedy with such power
ful curative virtue.”
B. C. Kinard & Son, Towaliga, Ga..
writes: “We induced a neighbor to
try B. B. B. for catarrh, which he
thought incurable as ft had resisted all
treatment. It delighted him and eon-
tinning its use be was cured sound and
well.”
Love Laughs at Locksmith's Design
Ing Arts.
An elopement!
Parental opposition was ineffectual!
The silken tie was secretly knotted!
On Sunday quite a romantic mar.
riage occurred, illustrating forcibly the
old time sanctioned law tbat “love
laughs at locksmiths.”
The bride was Miss Alice Snipe, and
her parents were veiy much opposed to
her union with Mr. Sam Bird, but as is
usual with “affairs de coeur” the little
god love assumed his legitimate sway
and th happy couple were united at
the home of Mr. Street by the Rev. J
S. Bryan.
After the ceremony the married|couple
repaired to the home of the bride where
mutual friends bad smothered matters
over and they received their benedic
tions. £
This was "quite a romantic marriage,
and the contracting parties had been
old sweethearts from the morning of
life, and at its brightest period their
hopes Lave culminated in their union
yesterday.

He will greatly improve the place, and
