i Democratic party will not get ex
ited in tt.o mutter. They will go slow
out choosing tbeir candidate, but
when they do settle on the man be it
Hill or be it Cleveland, tbey will rush
him right into the white house before

matter in hand and Alliancemen know
what early hours are.
Thk Athens Banner thinks the
town can float $75,000 bonds. So it
can, if the mud is thick enough. Some
towns can float an iron clad.—Augusta
Chronicle.
Well, now the Chronicle has no cause
to throw off on Athens this way. Ath
ens generally gets as much of the world
as certain of her sister cities, and if
brother Stovall will watch, lie will soon
see the bonds floated on firmer seas than
mud.
To judge from the names of Georgia’s
enterprising newspapers one must con
clude that she is the Empire State of
the South‘in very truth. Atlanta gives
her an excellent “Constitution;’’ Cov
ington gives her “Enterprise;” Elber-
ton lends the promise of an ascendant
“Star;” Augusta “Chronicles” her
rapid march to prosperity; Columbus
mokes safe her future by the investigat
ing rays of her bright “Enquirer-Suu;”
Brunswick gives unquestioned evidence
of good “Times;” Americas is also the
“Recorder” of prosperous, happy

Banner floats aloft to fuvorable breezes,
unfurling its ample folds to the pure
air of freedom, waving over homes once
desolated by the cruel ravages of civil
war, but now made happy in the prom
ise of a resplendent future that hovers
over our common country. Long may
it wave!
THE SUBSIDY STEALS-
It is highly probable that the im
mense subsidy steals now bting
planned in congress will not be push
ed through this congress.
There is an enormous lobby at
work, seeking to pass them, but the
democratic forces are on the alert
and intend to delay all matters as
much as possible to prevent their
passage.
In this work they will be assisted
in all probability by Reed and sev-
ral republicans. They see that such
aelion if accomplished would tend to
create a great deficiency in the trea
sury, and they are of the opinion
that such work should be thrown on
the next democratic House.
The democrats are to be heartily
applauded for their never-ceasing
activity in keeping a close watch on
the treasury.
And the subsidy lobby will find
little sympathy in the next House.
LET IT STOP.

enmity should not go beyond the

deserved, fulsome praise should cease

though they would start a popular

monument iu honor of his humane
march through Georgia.
The piople of Georgia have neither
respect or admiration for Sherman.
His famous march through this State
was an uu parallelled record of crime
of every de-cription. Crime that

WHITES AND BLACKS
Though the census returns upon
that point are yet bnt meager, early
figures concerning the relative in
crease of the whites and blacks in
the South ate very satisfactory, says
the Courier Journal. Preliminary
estimates of the population of South
Carolina and Louisiana by races in
dicate that the Caucasians have
gained during the last decade in a
greater proportion than the negroes.
The 1880 census caused great
alarm, for, according to its figure?,
the negro much surpassed that ot
the whites. This was probably due
to the defective nature of the 1870
census, so far as concerns the black
population, for that it was had Gen.
Walker proved conclusively ten ye trs
ago. Therefore, the disclosures of
the 1890 census have been awaited
with some anxiety, since it was
thought that they would effectively
decide whether whites or blacks are
increasing more rapidly.
Many false statements have been
made about this question of the
black race, aud some public men
have ta ked rather freely concerning
it when they knew little of the facts

No city in the State can show up a merchant who offers such great inducements as Max Joseph. It certainly has a cause
The closing out of the entire stock at cost, deduct from this 25 per cent. It positively is a fact that my offering at cost means at
least from 25 to 35 per cent less than any merchant’s cost. The goods were bought for the spot cash at the very time this country
suffered a money panic. My money was an advantage. It is useless to name prices of certain articles. But HEBE IS A BIG CUT
AN EXTRA SPECIAL OFFER FOR THIS WEEK.
Twesty-Five per cent discount from the actual cost on the Entire Stock. This also includes the Grand
BARGAINS OFFERED IN LAST WEEK’S PAPER. Think of it, 25 per cent.
on the double width wool Dress Goods, makes them cost you only 8c. a yard. 25 per cent, discount on the hand-sewed Ladies

iarwith them in order to support
assertions, and the negro question is
largely one of statistics. Well in.-,
formed newspapers have said that
the negroes outnumber the whites
ten to one in Louisiana and South
Carolina, and are in a majority in
every Southern State, and many olh»
er similar absurdities have become
current coin of the paragraphers.
The negroes outnumber the whites
in but three Slates, namely : Mis
sissippi, South Carolina and Louis
iana; and in Sonth Caro'ina—which
has the largest population—they are
but three-fifths of the entire popu
lation. In Kentucky they consti
tute only one-se.venth of the popu
lation.
1 he effects of freedom upon the
black race have been altogether mis
calculated. The negro does not
breed so fast in freedom as in cap
tivity. That the birth rate ia regu
lated by the price of bread is a truth
tersely expressed, and since he be
came bis own master the negro, as
well as the white, feels the operation
of the rule. In slavery, while com.
pelled to work and to obey, he took
no thought of the future ; but now
he knows the difference. Surround
ed by a constantly advancing civili
zation, he is dragged upward a little
himself, and the increase of respon
sibilities throws soibe checks upon
the animal law by which he was for
merly almost emirely controlled.
During the last thirty years of
-livery the negro increased 90 per
cent, while during the first thirty
years of freedom he has gained but
66 per cent. The contrast certainly
gives the negre problem a more
cheerful aspect.

ATHENIANS SAY THE GEORGIA

Prominent Athenians.

Build the Georgia Midland.
Athens cannot afford to let it pass her
gates, and now is the time to sieze the
opportunity that may be only once in a
lifetime.
The Banner’s telegrams from At
lanta yesterday showing that railroad
men of much prominence are working
to extend this road to Athens have
opened the eyes of the business men
here, and the situation is ripe for the
building of the road.
Athens will not have all the burden
to bear. Not at all.
The cities along the line and the rich
country lying by the proposed path of
this railway will do their parts and do
them well.
More than this, the chances are bright
that the Georgia, Carolina and Northern
will be only too glad to play a large
hand in the game.
Tne road is a certainty now, for
Athenians all have set their hearts to
have it.
Mr. McDowell’s Views.
“The Georgia Midland would bring
Athens as much trade if not more trade
than any of her railroads,” said Mr.
William McDowell to a Banner re
porter yesterday.
“It is only a question of time,” he
continued “before the matter will come
up before the people of the Classic City
in the aspect of a very serious question
and-we will have to'build it in self-de
fence. 1 believe it will be the next
great achievement for Athens.”
Mr. E. ft. Hodgson.
Mr. E. R. Hodgson is very much in
terested in the Georgia Midlaud ro~d
and has done a great deal of work tow
ards getting it here.
“I consider it all important for Ath
ens that the Georgia Midland be built,”
he said, “it will open up for us a. new
and rich country and give us a through
line to the Southwest.
“The Georgia Midland’s charter
reads that it is to be extended to Ath-
power to help get it here.”
Mr. C. G. Talmadge.
Mr. C. G. Talmadge js in favor of the
city doing all possible to get the Geor
gia Midland here, and thinks that it
will be a great thing for Athens.
“Of course,” he replied when asked
about the advisability of the citizens
helping to get it here, “it will do the
G. C. & N. R. R. just as much good as
it will Athens or the Midland people,
and those whom it will benefit should
try and get it here. It is nothing in
the world but a plain business proposi
tion. However I am for the road, first
last and all the time.”
A NEW TRIAL
Granted Jesse Whitehead, Charged
With Attempted Assassination.
Jesse Whitehead, chaig^d with at
tempted assassination, has been granted
a new trial by Judge Hutchins.
His case attracted much attention
when it was being tried and at the last
term of the Oconee county court he was
sentenced to ten years in the peniten
tiary.
He attempted to assassinate Mr. E. G.
Ware, a prominent citizen of Oconee
county.
His lawyer, Mr. John Mell, asked
for a new trial on account'of irregular
ities in the trial and yesterday the mo
tion was granted and a new* trial or
dered.
What the outcome of this trial will
be is not known though it is thought
by many that the verdict will be same
as last time.

Alter a graceful exordium, the
speaker led his audience imo the consid

red man of the forest was vindicated of
many accusations brought against him;
several striking incidents of the white

were repeated, and an appeal made for
leniency in judging him.
Mr. King’s effort was highly com

Athens will be immeasurably benefitted.
Let the Midland come, it will be a

Mr. S. C. Dobbs.
Mr. Dobbs is an enthusiastic Georgia
Midland man and though very busy
’ esterday when called on took time from
his duties to talk to The Banner re
porter.
“I think the Georgia Midland will be
the best thiugin the world for Athens.
It is all important and we must have
it,” he said. “If the G. C. & N. will
help we will have it too. I don’t know
what the citizens will do but I know
what they ought to do. They should
go down in their pockets and help. I

YOU MUST CARRY A GUN
When You Goto Church In Georgia or
You Are Liable to Fine.
An exchange says that some very
strange laws are In existence in Geor
gia which, although obsolete, have
never been repealed. Looking through
an_ old code yesterday, the following
unique statue was found written in the
old English text.
It reads that no male person shall go
to a clmrch on Christmas or Easter day,
or other days of public worship, with
out carrying a gnu or brace of pistols,
with six rounds of powder and ball,
under a penalty of ten shillings.
The law also says that the church
warden or wardens must search all per
sons who come hither that have no
arms displayed and see whether or not
they are about their person
A failure on the part of the wardens
to do this within fifteen minutes from
the first appearance of the person or
pel sons at the church,’ shall make them
liable to a fine of fifteen shillings.
This law first passed the General As
sembly of the State in 1777 to been-
forced for the term of three years or
until the next.meeting of the Assembly.
The revolutionary war then came on
and. after the close, it was made a law
in perpetuity under a general act pass
ed, which enforced all statutes then in
existence forever, unless repealed.
This law therefore made during the
tlon—Who Was the Assassin.
Mr, Larkin Smith is dead.
And he carried to his grave the name
of his assassin.
Some weeks ago Mr. Smith, who runs
a hotel at Lula, was sitting before his
fire when he was shot by some one out
side the house
He was shot iu several places, but by
whom no one knows.
He refused to mention any names,
though it is supposed he knew who his
hidden enemy was.
He lingered until yesterday morning
when he died suddenly. It was sup
posed that he would recover up to a
few hours before his death.
This ends the first chapter in the story
of the most brutal and cowardly assassi-
tion that has ever occurred in North
Georgia.
The second chapter will be ended
when his murderer it, hanged, as he
surely will be if discovered.
Mr. Smith’s death changes a simple
shooting into a murder, and it will go
hard with the mad who shot him if lie is
discovered.
The citizens of Lula have not been
idle, and suspicion points strongly to
two parties, now that Mr. Smith is dead
they will be watched closely, and upon
the slightest evidence arrested aud jail
ed. - . J
Mr. Smith was at one time an engin
eer on the Northeastern railroad, and is
well known in Athens where the wish
is general that his murderer may be
found.
IN FAIR TOCCOA.
Bright and Breezy Items of Interest.
The north bound freight engine on
the Elberton Airline Railroad jumped
the track a few miles below Toccoa
yesterday afternoon. It fell flat on the
side. No one was hurt. Since the
heavy rains the cross-ties on the rail
road are in a perfect loblolly, in many
places making it dangerous to travel on
the tram.
The grip has taken fresh hold upon
our citizens. A great many are sick,
and two have died within the last
week.

man and one of the best business men in
