THE FEDERAL ELECTIONS BILL-
The protest against the further
urging of the federal elections bill
in republican quarters is spreading,
says the Boston Herald. It is found
among both the press and the poli
ticians of that party, and it is con
fined to no section of the country.
The action of those republicans who
stood in the way of its passage seems
thus to be vindicated. They are
sustained by important party agen
cies in the republican ranks, even
here in New England, where the
scheme was most persistently urged,
and in which it had its leading sup
port in both houses of congress.
The independent press, which was
unanimous and urgent in taking
ground against this measure, will
havc the thanks of a large portion
of the republicans for saving their
party from a scheme which they
now see themselves to have been a
mistake.
APPEAR" MViRpffl®
Except When Complaining of Being Miserable.
SUCH has often been proven to me, when they made their purchases elsewhere
EAST ATHENS.
For the past year the attention of
the men of means here in Athens
has, of course, been attracted to the
western portion pf the city to watch
the onward course of prosperity so
clearly set forth out by the Rock
College suburbs. The organization
of land companies, the building of
electric lines, boulevards and the
like has all been sufficient to draw
the observation of the citizens to
wards those suburbs where the sun
goes down, and every one must ad
mit that there is enough nut there
to engage the attention of the capi
taliats most interestingly.
But while West Athens has been
moving on so gloriously, it must not
be concluded that East Athens has
remained idle. The contrary is true.
During the past twelve months the
people of East Athens have been go
ing about a new and arduous duty.
They have set to work to build up
their little' city on the hills beyond
the Oconee, and the hammer and
saw make merry music over there
from rosy morn until dewy eve. The
Georgia, Carolina and Northern rail
road has already brought a newness
of life to that part of Athens that
lies beyond the river. The new road
runs through a splendid part of that
suburb, and new houses and nice
ones, too, are going up all along the
road bed ift advance of the track
laying.
East Athens is sure to be the man
nfaoturing centre of the city. It is
tbs backbone of Athens, to-day, and
is keeping full pace with the city
proper. v
Keep your eyes on East Athens.
THE SPEAKERSHIP.
It is still perhaps a little doubtful
about the next Speaker of the Na
tional House of Representatives*. Mr.
Crisp is a favorite candidate, and
the chances. are brighter every day
that the gifted young Georgian will
be given the place. He is not only
strong in his record as a democrat,
bnt be is. a man of many personal at
tractions and is a very popular mem*
ber of Congress. Mr. Crisp stands a
splendid chance for becoming the
next Speaker.
This much can be put down as.a
certainty, that the Speaker will be a
Southern man.
Why do people want to
complain and regret their
purchases at other stores,
when so often I have con
vinced them of the great
savings they can make at
my place ?
It is useless and only
waste of words to come to
my store and say so often,
as they have said: Oh, 1 am
so sorry I did not go to
Max Joseph’s
before I bought such and
such What a great dif
ference in price, but I was
persuaded to do so and so.
and they would not let me
go-
I say don’t be persuaded
and reg et alterwards, but
come direct to headquar

G IN EMPORIUM OF
MAI JOSEPH.
Toe Savannah News in speaking
of tLe candidacy of Judge Crisp for
the speakership says: “The prospects
of Crisp are much better than those
of any other candidate. He is con
doctlng his canvass quietly and with
excellent judgment. The attacks
which the friends of other candi
dates make from time to time on his
record he meets fairly and squarely,
and thns far they Lave done him no
barm. Indeed, there are reasons for
thinking that they have done h m
good, because they have given him
chance to explain some things which
if unexplained until the last mo
ment, might be used to his diaad
vantage.”
It seems that the blind tigers of
Lexington are getting up quite
broad reputation. The New Orleans

to be a most delightful one.
Yesterday’s Banner gave the fuU

additional prestige all over Georgia
each year.

A HYDRA HEADED CASE.
A Big Law Suit Involving"ft16.000
Hangs Fire.
Cabnesville, Ga.. May 13.—[Spe
cial.]—There is a hydra headed case be
fore the oourt of Ordinary here that
will make a lively legal tilt and be
closely contested. It arose from the
application of Tom Coffee and others
filing a petition calling upon W. T. and
J. H. Duncan to show cause why they
should not give brad as executors of the
estate of John Duncan deceased.
The executors are also attempting to
move the administration to the couit of
ordinary of Elbert county, and thatef
fort is being contested.
Judge Daniel McKenzie has been
Beived with a mandamus issued ty
Judge Hutchins to show cause why the
administration should not be removed.
The hearing is set for the 23rd inst., at
Lawrenceville. W. R. Little and W.
1. Pike represent the heirs and F. H.
Colley and J. N. Worley the executors.
The amount involved in the litigation
is about sixteen thousand dollars.
A light rain fell here today that has
very much enlivened crop prospects.
This is bright weather and the farm
ers are putting in some good licks on
their farms.
While everything is very quiet now
about the Georgia Midland and the Au
gusta and Chattanooga railroad, they
are not at all dead issues.
This can be put down as a certainty
The Georgia Midland is going to be ex
tender from McDonough and the Au
gusta & Chattanooga is going to be one
of Athens new roads in the near future.
The interest in the Georgia Midland
extension all along the route is sufficient
to warrant the prediction that this road
will be built by local capital if not by
the Seaboard and Roanoke Company.
The extension offers such admirable
connections southwestward for the
Georgia, Caroliua and Northern, that
it is more than probable that this com.
pany will look to its construction in
the near future. Col. Macheu also has
bis hawk eye on the road, aod is work
ing in bis own silent way for the build
ing of it.
The Augusta & C hattanooga is by no
means dead.
There is now a great deal of talk
about this railroad in Chattanooga and
that enterprising,progressive city seems
to be' taking matters in hand looking to
the construction of the road.
A company has already been organ
ized there to further the project, and
Col. B. M. Mitchell representing the
Piedmont Construction company is at
work at this end of the line. The as
surance is given that this road is no
longer a myth, but a living reality.
The Elberton Star this week fairly
bubbles over with enthusiastic cheering
for the Georgia Carolina & Northen.
It talks about the advantages of this
railroad’s sohedule as follows:
It is on!
The first passenger train bright and
cozy steamed away from the Elberton
depot on the G., C. A N. R.R. last Mon
day morning.
U sped away like a gay-plumaged
bird,’mid the admiration of a large
crowd.
Several took passage from Elberton to
K ints in Carolina on the first North
und train.
We have now another avenue for the
travel and commerce of the outside
world that will develope greatly the re
sources of this section.
Both passepger and freight trains are
now running on time from here to Mon
roe, N. C.
Elberton is proud of the uew road,
and she has a right to be.
We learn that arrangements will be
made, if possible, for the south-bound
freight train on the G. C. & N. to con
nect closely with the Augusta bound
passenger train from Anderson, on the
Savanuab Valley road.
It is now thought that the construc
tion train will run over the Broad River
bridge about next Wednesday.
Two miles beyond Broad River thero
is a creek to cross, and farther on an
other river.
The new road will probably he in Ath
ens by the first of August.
The Georgia Raijroad Commission is
discussing the advisability of adopting
a umfoi m passenger rate of 2o. per
mile throughout the State. The rai 1
roads will of course regard this proposed
reduction as inimical to their interests,
but the people are unanimously in favor
of it and it is quite probable that this
rate will be established by the commis
sion. There can hardly be a doubt that
in the end it will prove as beneficial to
the interests of the railroad companies
as to the traveling public.
The reduction will not be in the na
ture of au experiment, for the experi
ment has already been made on the
Western & Atlantic railroad by Mr.
Joseph M. Brown, and it was amply
justified by results. One o! the results
was a large increase in the income of
the road from this source.
This is the matter which the railroad
commission has control of, and it
should at once take steps to reduce the
passenger rate to 2 cents. A uniform
rate would work well to all parties con
cerned. It would be easier on the trav
eling public, while it would be to the
decided financial inte’est of the rail
roads by greatly increasing travel,
which increase we doubt not would
more than offset the reduction in
rates.
The Covington and Macon generously
offered the students a very low excur
sion rate to Oxford, and will run spe
cial oars through to Madison and thence
to Oxford by the Georgia railroad. The
schedule is a most desirable one and both
the hour of departure and the hour of
arrival is perfectly convenient to all
who have a desire to go.
The citizans as well as the students
apDreciate fully the favor of the ever
obliging Covington and Macon.

DEVIL IN HUMAN FORM.
A French Wretch Who Breaks the
Record.
Paris, May l5.—[Special.]—The po-
loco of London have arrested a man
named Meunier, for murder and other
crimes.
Meunier, who is an ex-officer of the
customs, and a widower with two sons,
courted a wealthy girl named Jactel
who rejected him because he was poor.
Meunier then engaged in a number
of robberies, and finally murdered a
priest and his servant. Having got
money he renewed his suit,- but the
S ri’s father was obdurate, objecting to
e man’s children.
Meunier thereupon set fire to Jactel’s
residence, the occupants of which had a
narrow escape.
Meunier had not been detected in any
of these crimes. After another inter
view with the girl, who then seemed to
be willing to marry him, he smothered
bis eldest boy, and finally shot and seri
ously injured the girl’s brother, who
had forbidden the proposed marriage.
When arrested Meunier confessed to
all but the double uunler.
THE GOSPEL TENT.
WILL BE SPREAD IN ATHENS
SOON.
DR. CULPEPPER WILL COME.
And Preach Some of His Inimitable
Sermons to Athenians—He Will Ar
rive Tuesday Week—A Series
of Interesting Meetings-
The Gospel Tent will be pitched in
Athens.
And an eloquent evangelist will
preoeh to the people of the Classic City
upou the questions of religion.
That his sermons will awaken a live
ly interest in the city no one can doubt.
Rev. I. B. Culpepper has for some
time been preaching iu Atlanta under
his big tent aud the .interest and reli
gious enthusiasm manifested over his
sermons proclaim.him to be a divine of
no mean ability.
The tents have been crowded at all
meetings and the sermons preached by
this eloquent evangelist have been full
of force and conviction.
In these services he has been assisted
by Mr. Williams in &u able manner.
These two will be in Athn^ Tuesday
week, and they will bring along their
big tent with them.
It has not been decided where the
tent will be located, but a convenient
spot will be selected in ^r heus aud in
easy reach of all who wish to attend
the services.
It will be sufficiently large to accom
modate as many as wish to be present,
and doubtless the full seat mg capacity
will be utilized, while here.
The evangelist will remain in Athens
some time, and the religious services
carried on under his ten a ill be of the
most interesting aod couv inping nature.
Bev. L. R. Gwaltney, Rev. C. W.
Lane, and Rev. T. R. Kendall, along
with other ministers of the city, will
assist Mr. Culpepper in his services.
The services will be on the order of a
Union meeting, in which all of the
churches of the city will take part,
lendiug their strength and co-operation
to the success < f the meetings.
Mr. Culpepper is a preacher of great
reputation, a fine orator, and a man « f
graat force and vigor of style.
His sermons are characterized by
their vigorous and convincing thought.
His series of meetings in Athens will
no doubt be largely attended on the part
of the people of this city.
