The Southern Alliance Farmer has
hit upon an interesting new 'year’s
resolution. It says: *
'1 Ik. Alliance is not for and shall
not be made ‘.be tool of individuals,
and when its privileges are abused
in future we expect to say |so*
Above all things, we expect to do
all in our power to protect it from,
schemers and plotters. If we find
that men in authority in the .order
are not doing theiy duty, and the
proper authorities will jot take the
matter in hand, we expect to do
our duty and save the order from
the displace which is certain to fol
low an overlooking of tin se things.
In future this paper will be a “free
lance,” and ^ve will deal with evil
doers, both in and out of tbe Al
liance.
GEORGIA'S SCHOOL SYSTEM.
Tbe Alliance Legislature of Geor
gia distinguished itself during its
session last fall bj’ passing many
bills that will result in great good to
the people of tbe State.
One' of its most beneficial acts,
and one whose influence will be felt
in every connty wfl. community in
Georgia, is tbe bill of Me. Jackson,
of Heard, providing for an educa
tional fund of over a million of dol
lars. This bill has already passed
the House, and will pass the Senate
during the summer session.”
The farmers of the legislature have
taken a great deal of interest in the
matter of education, and the excel
lent manner in which they handle
this question, evinces the fact that
they are determined to give the youth
of Georgia every educational advan
tage.
They have made a sufficient
appropriation to run the common
schools six months in the year, they
provided well for the Technological
School and the Girl’s Industrial
Schools, and all they have done in
this direction is most heartily ap
proved by the people of Georgia.
But in the work of perfecting our
schi ol system and placing Georgia
on as high an educational plane as
any state in the UnioD, the claims of
higher education must be consid
ered.
Hi6 Excellency. Governor Nor? ben
in speaking of the relation that
should exist between common
schools and higher education, said
that while no one could deny the
benefit of the former in preparing
tbe youth of Georgia in the elemen
tary branches, equally might it be
said that to the latter we must look
for compeient and qualifitd teachers
Ample ’provision - has been made
for tbe common schools. They can
now be kept opes six months in the
year, and the farmer, who is com
pelled to keep his children at work
.in the fields, can during a certain
season of the year give them the
benefit of a good common school
education. This is a result.to be
proud of.
But to make the educational
scheme complete, tbe next movement
in the legislature should be towards
providing for the needs of the insti
tution for higher education. Tbe
more attention paid to our ,State
University, the mnretflicient will be
•tbe teachers furnished by this grand
old institution, and the more'efficiem
. tbe teacbeis, tbe better will be tbe
facilities aflorded in our c< xnmon
schools.
There iB no eeparatir g of tbe two.
They go band in hand, and nothing
could result-in more detriment to
our educational interests than to
’ provide for tbe one and not tbe
other.
I The farmers will be highly
benefi ted bv evry appropriation to tbe
University. . ~
An actual census taken by tie
chancellor of the University, baa
demonstrated the fact rbat forty-six
per cent, of the students in atten

Then, by all mean, o.ur Alliance,

for the University in tbe manner she
so richly deserves
Let them so bring it to pass that
the old Univerei y shall'be raised to
a much higher station among
.Southern cell»*ges, so that their sms,
if they wish to mount higher and
higher in tilt scale of renown may
find a way in which to safely and
securely rise.

Don’t Mention It!
Elberton Gazette: At * meeting of
the stockholders of the Athbxb Ban-
nxb, Mr. fc.j nsen Crawford was elected
editor-iti-cbief of that paper instead ot
Larry Gantt. Mr. Crawford is quite a
young man and is a brilliant and forci

Still with the Alliance.
Crawford Herald:
Thk Athens Banner is moving on
allright with its new editorial manage
ment under the care of Mr. Rem-eu
Crawford. I he new editor is one of
the brightest young men on the Geor
gia press, and we expect the paper to
continue to c- imb up from- the high
round where Col. Gantt kept it. The
present management will adhere to the
alliance principles upon which the Col-
one! had so earnestly fought for tin-
past few months. Col. Gantt will buy
an interest in the Southern Alliance
tarnier, of Atlanta, and spread him sell
in that field of labor. We wish both
the pacers success, and in this wish i-
includeii the desire that both their edi
tors may enjoy prosperity to tho fullest
extent.

Brunswick Times: Since the pen of
Editor Remsen Crawford—without the

new editor of 1 he Banner, though a
young man of brief experience in jour

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPL^.
A CORRECTION
Editor Banner: I feel called upon to
correct a mistake in the letter of Mr. T.
L. Gantt published in tbe Southern Al
liance Farmer and copied in tbe Athens
Evening Ledger, relating to myself.
The statement is made that 1 was author
of the remark that Ms. W. A. Rowland
said Matt Davis was perfectly accepta
ble to him as Athens postmaster.
The petition mentioned was not car
ried to Mr. Rowland by me, as Mr.
Gantt states, but by Mr. W. j. Smith,
and I did not make the remark about
Mr. Rowland quoted'.
1 feel that I ought to make this cor
rection simply in justice to Mr Rowland.

THE BUSINESS WORLD 1S
STINCT WITH LIFE.
The Merchants as a Unit Speak In
Cheerful Tones—Enthused Over Our j
the City’s Rosy Prospects.
With a view to ascertaining correctly
the prospects that dawn with the new
year over the business world of Athene,
tbe Banker is giving brief interviews
with the business men showing tbe na
ture of the outlook.
It is cheerful indeed to observe bow
they talk:
JOHN L. ARNOLD.
Mr. Arnold aayS?^‘Oiir firm keeps a
man constantly on the road, and we
feel that the wonderful in
crease in our business justifies
l*c. There has never been a time in
the history of the city when she has
enjoyed greater prosperity. The past
y»-ar has been one of great succes< to us
and this year we intend iu great extent
to enlarge our facilities.”
BRIGHT AND ROSY.
Mr. Snead says: “Our business dur
ing the year of 1890 was healthy and
we have no reason to complain of our
falling off in patronage. Athens is
forging ahead and there is no doubt of
it and in five more years we will hardly
recogniz- the Classic City in her new
dress. Her prospects are bright and
r *sy.”
IMPROVING OUR OPPORTUNITIIS.
“So tar as we are individually con
cerned the ptst year has been
very gratifying to us,” said a
memuer of the popular firm of Gallo
way, Limbert & Co. “Atheus i*, from
a business standpoint, improving won
derfully. We are awakening to the re
sources of our situation and are becom
ing m we citified. The year of ’90 to us
was a prosperous one and we feel that
this spring’s trade will be an unusual.y
large one.”
DAVISON A LOWE.

enjoying and they are daily expanding

Deafness Can’t be Cured
by local applications,as they can’t reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way te cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
lube. When (his tube gets inflamed
you have stumbling sound orimperfeet
bearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless tbe
inflammation can be taken nut and this
tube restored to iu normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases ont of ten are caused bycatatrh
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

THE MUSIC EMPORIUM.
Mr. Haselton, of the music house of
Uaseltcn and Dozier, says, **To say
that we are prosperous beyond ex-;,
pression is to put it mildly Our
house keeps men constantly on the road
and wc are daily broadening our terri
tory. The record for 1890 was a bright
one, and if individual prosperity is an
index to the standing of the city at
large Athenians should find an unrail
ing source of piide in our progress.” .
THE SURPRISE STORE.
Mr, Shepard, of the firm of Brittain,
Walthall & Co., in speaking of their
record during ’90 says: “It would
Convert the most stubborn skeptic if he
could only Bee the almost incredible in
crease in the amount of business since
Jan. 1st-, 1890. Athens is a real
city now and we shonld all work to
gether with unity. 1891 dawns on our
house with most cheering prospects and
we intend to enlarge our faoilitks con
siderably.” - ;
“raking THE FUR FLY.”
Said Mr. G.orge Lucas of the' well
known house or E I. Smith & Co. “We
are as solid as a brick. Our housa ditr-
ing the past year has done an immense
amount of business. I go on in a month
or so t. New York, Boston and Phila
delphia fo buy a large assortment of
shoe wear that will be unprecedented in
the history of our city for style and
quality. Athens is certainly asserting
herself nobly and she has been covered
with glory by her reco'rd in 1890.”
THE INIMITABLE SKIFF.
“Yes Athens is growing and the year
1890 was one which will iorni a red-let
ter year in the history of Athens for
all time to come. But we need a town
clock and I believe Athens will have it.
There is no doubt about it, Athens is
going to th6 front and Skiff, the Jew
eler, intends to take her hand and go
there with her."

Mr. Hale has built’ up a splendid bus

Chancellor Boggs and Colonel Snell-
ings left yesterday for Atlanta on busi
ness of a most important nature.
They go to uttend a meeting of tbe
military advisory board to be held ac
the capital to-day, and to to lay before
that body^be claims of the University

of Georgia to be expended in tlit* pur
chase of accoutrements and (o defray
the expenses of the next annual en
campment.
THE UX1VEI SITY’S CLAIM.
Ever since the military featuie of the
University’s discipline was organized,
it has been very much neglected by tbe
state, 1-
i'he cadets have b*en forced to drill
with heavy muskets that are old and out
of date,- anil the accoutrements have
been generally deficient. The cadets
i .ve been pr.-vent d from entering any

file reason that they stood no showing
against tlie other compinies that have

WHAT THEY A X FOR?
Colonel Bnellings and Chancellor
Boggs will uBk fot one hundred stack of
arms, and full accoutrements to thor
oughly equip the University^armory.
This is little enough.
Wlien the needs and claims of the
University have been laid before the
members of the advisory board today,
they cannot fail to grant at least what
Colonel Snellings und Chat cellor
Boggs have asked.
Five members of the board have al
ready expressed their willingness to
grant the apportionment asked for by
the University and this being a majori
ty of the board it is no longer a matter
of doubt about the Securing of the ac
coutrements.

DOING FINE WORK.
On the Georgia Carolina and North
ern RrUroad.
In conversation with Mr. C. D. Lang-
hornc, of the G. C. & N.. some Interest
ing facts were evolved about the char
acter of the work on tbe G. C. & N.
He says: .
“The work on this road- is solid and
substantial, tbe masonry fine aud dura
ble. We pay strict attention to the
quantity of the materials we use, select
ing only those whose strength $re well
tested. The men in the employ,
of' the ‘ road are experienced
and p'rofioient artisans and thoroughly
understand the work they do. The
bridges are marvels of strength and
far as mechanical .construction is,con
cerned are unsurpassed.'
“The Georgia, Carolina & Northen
road will be one of tlie finest equipped
roads in the South.”
. The grading on this road is unusually
well demand the road will have fine
ballast on the tracks.
The coaches will be of the post sump
tuous pattern, maiiufactdred by the fi
nest car works in America.
It is not definitely settled where tile,
car wofk8 will bn located but Athens
has strong grounds to believe that they
will be built here. These works will
be coinmodius and handsomeand would
prove a great boon to the city.

Livingston is very actively opuos-
ing tbe transfer. Harry Brown is “in”
with Gautt, i be street talk says.* The
rupture between Livingston and Brown
is said to be very threatening to the
harmony and decorum of the’ body.
Harry says he knows something, and
announces in bis last paper.tbat he is
almost ready to tell it.
The stock is owned, it will be remem
bered in Washington, ostensibly by
Maouneand other National Alliance;
men. Gantt, Brown and Livingston,,
have all been there for several days.
“The Alliance sentiment of the State
Is notably in favbr of such a 1 transfer.
They want the organ of the Stite Alli-
ahos controlled by actual stockboldeis,

ilea is to haye about lorty prominent
Geo -gta Alliancemen take about $200 in
stock, the paper being vaiued at $8,00(1
to $10,000.
“Macu'ne is in bad odoc, anyhow, and

want a paper free Of his 'direct influ
ence.
•>And talking about AMi&nce affairs,
a prominent anti-Livingston member
of the order bad some meaty things to
say yesterday about Livingston.
“ ‘He will be faring well,’ said be,
‘if tbe next sLite convention simply
.“Ousts” him, from the presidency. His
re-election isan'impossibility.’
Of course he is sharp enough to make
the most of the situ-tion, and ibay‘ 1 be
likely enough to get some fit position
in the.National Alliance. But he won’t
be president any .longer of the Georgia
Alliance,”
‘•Who will’be?” I asked.
Martin V. ^aivin is likely tpget it.
Then there is a strong movement in
favor of Dr de Jarnctte or Putnam.
Dr. Gibsou, of Oglethorpe,' and others,
are spoken of.”
