The evidence introduced yesterday was
of a very damaging effect upon the de
fense, but Col. McCurry had much to
offer in rebuttal.
Both Webb and Johnson were rail
road negroes and were of violent char
acter. Webb had gone over to Wright’s
camp with a message, and as he
got down off his mule, and was sitting
on the side of the road, Johnson shot
him with a rifle, killing him almost in

Quite a number of witnesses were in

A BIG ALLIANCE DAY.
Yesterday’s news columns of the
Banner gave the news that on July
16th there is to be in Athens agremt
rally of alliancemen. It was shown
in our dispatohes from Atlanta that
Colonel Livingston has arranged to
have a vast crowd gathered here on
that day, and is preparing a grand
programme of speech«making and
the like.
Among the speakers mentioned
are Hon. Jerry Simpson, Mr. Lease
of Kansas, President L. L. Polk and
others. It goes without saying that
Athens will greet the alliancemen on
that day most gloriously.
Why not have the midsummer fes
tival at that time ? Why not ?
The Georgia, Carolina & Northern
railroad will be finished then, and it
woald be a happy time all around to
have the midsummer festival then.
Yes, why not.
Cincinnati is in Ohio, which State
has a statute that prohibits “ the
game of base ball on Sunday.” A
Cincinnati judge whose constituents
live largely on- base ball has held that
“the game” of base ball is not played
unless nine innings are completed,
thus permitting the population to
have eight innings of it without mo
lestation. He is a fine judge to diso
cover such an intricate point of base
ball law, and will doubtless be elect
ed again in Cincinnati.—[Dallas
Morning News.
This judge ought to sign as an
umpire for the Brotherhood, he seems
so thorough in base ball tactics.
Thb Columbus EnquireroSun is

has changed hands, Mr. Gazaway
Hartridge having sold his interest
to J. F. Cavanaugh. Mr. Frank
Weldon, who has long been city ed
itor of the paper, has been promoted
to the position pf managing editor.
Mr. Weldon is a first class newspa

under his editorial control, will main

When we are told that the Hon
Thomas B. Reed, our eomewhat pro

After so long a time the dogs

the muzzle law. Especially those
dozens that have been ruthlessly shot
The immense advantage wbicb it has
been to the crops is incalculable, and
the cotton prospect bas brightened ten
fold since tbe shower. The other crops
have been benefited in proportion, but
cotton is tbe staple product by which
others are estimated, and the product
which more nearly concerns the far
mers and merchants. Tbe cotton mer
chants speak hopefully ol tbe crops,
and tbe farmers are as well satisfied
with the out-look as they ever are.
Mr. J. M. Orr. of Orr and Hunter,
thinks that the general crop will be up
the usual standard
but says the ^ crop is
not so abundant In this section as usu
al. The stands which were poor up to
the late rain are now good but later
than usual. Much of the cotton is just
up and will require a late - fall to make
yield. Id the West and other sections
the crops are far better and perhaps
above the usual average. There iB a
large surplus from last year’s crop and
as a consequence, prices are lower than
usual, and are somewhat on the de
cline.”
Mr. R. K. Reaves speaks hope
fully of the outlook, but says,
“Cotton is much scarcer in this sec
tion than usual, and the wheat and corn
crops are better and more abundant.
It is all speculation as to what tbe yield
will be, but the rains have done a vast
amount of good and things may turn
out better than expected.”
Mr. Prince Hodgson, who is well
known in cotton circles and is in a posi
tion to know j ust what may be expect
ed, said on yesterday:
“Tbe crop this year will be latar than
usual, but tbe rains have put it in a
very good condition. The ground has
not been so well prepared
as is usual at this time of the
year. The cotten being very young, and
the grass wbicb will come up after the
rain will make tbe farmers very indus
trious keeping out the weeds. Alto
gether the outlook is lully as favorable
as is usual at this time of the year, as
there has been no falling off in the av
erage ; but tbe corn crop is larger than
usual. Much depends on whether tbe
frost is early or late. An early frost
will destroy almost any crop, while a
late fro«t will materially help a poor
crop. The farmers are m a very good
condition generally. Cotton is low but
much of it will be produced, and will
handle fully as much money as usual,
for the yield per acre is greater.”
So it seems that there is nothing of a
discouraging nature in the outlook, ei
ther for the farmers or for the buyers.
Prices may be low, but the acreage is
good and more cotton will be bandied
than usual. The refreshing rains have
presented a new phase of the prospect,
and only an early frost will seriously
effect the result.
Other merchants seen, speak hopeful
ly of the fall trade, and it is probable
that there will be the same proportion
ate increase in the number of bales pro
duced, as there has been heretofore.
Our farmers have been stimulated to
greater efforts by tbe Alliance organi
zation, and have done wonder work,
with better success in the hopes that
their efforts would bring them better
returns, and in this they will not be
disappointed. It will be observed that
merchants state there has been a great
er production of wheat and corn this
season than is usual.. This will of bourse
be of advantage, for these products are
much steader than cotton which is con
stantly subject to variation in price.
, The outlook considered from a gen
al standpoint promises well for a pi
perous fall trade, and an easy settlement
of debts on the part of the farmers
the state.
The recent change in the management
of tbe Central places the Covington and
Macon entirely in the hands
of General Manager Cecil Gabbett, and
it could not be in the bauds of a more
enterprising or a more energetic rail
road man.
Speaking of Major Gabbett, tbe Ma
con Evening News pays him the follow
ing deserved compliment:
Railroad people are loud today in
praise of Gabbett. They admire his
grit, they say, and be would be almost
given an ovation should he drop down
in Macon right now.
Everybody who knows him, howev
er, expected it and not the least sur
prise was felt when he refused the
place.
Mr. Starr is generally conceded to be
Mr. Gabbett’s probable successor, as he
is thought to be the most worthy.
Railroad men concede him to be one of
tbe most thorough officials in the coun
try and can see no reason why the
place will not be offered him. This
Starr continues to ascend.
Major Gabbett has already made out
the schedule of through trains from
Lula to Albany and through sleepers
to Savannah and is conferring with
Manager Green of tbe R. & D. about it.
So soon as the arrangements can be per
fected the new schedule will take ef
fect.
At 3 o’clock this afternoon the
stockholders of the Macun Construction
Company will hold their annual meet
ing at the office of tbe president, Henry
L. Jewett in that city.
Their first business will be to elect
directors, and then these directors will
elect officers.
All sorts of rumors are afloat as to
the result of the election and the
changes which it may bring. It will
be awaited with interest.
The Brotherhood of Railway Train
men will bold their annual picnic at
Yatesville on Jane 26. They agree to
fill twelve cars. The people of Yates-
viile have erected a nice dancing pavi
lion for the especial benefit of the
brotherhood in a nice grove Of oaks
near tbe railroad buck in the town.
A special train will leave LaGrange
tomorrow morning at 6 o’clock on the
Macon and Birmingham road for Ma
con. It will contain four coaches, all
of which will be loaded with pretty cob
lege girls who are going to attend
Wesleyan’s commencement exeroises
tomorrow evening.
The G. G. & N. is drawing very near
to Athens.
The grading is all finished between
here and Elberton and the track has
been layed to Dry Ford Greek. The
tracklayers will cross South Broad
river today or tomorrow, and then it
will only take a few days to bring the
road into Athens. It will be here the
middle of July.
Speaking of the G. C. & N. the depot
contractor was in Athens yesterday lo
cating the site for tbe Athens depot
He says he has not yet fixed definitely
the spot desired, but two or three places
are under consideration. It will be of
course on the land of the G. C. & N. re

DR. JONES RESIGNS
HIs Professorship In the University of
Georgia.
Dr. W L. Jones has resigned his
chair in the University of Georgia,
His resignation was banded in six
months ago, to take effect at the close
of the present session.
Thrice called to chairs in the scientific
departments of the University, first in
1851, next in 1861 and again in 1886, be
retires after an aggregate service of a
little less than twenty years.
Dr. Jones is a native of Liberty coun
ty Georgia, s county that before tbe
dispersion of her people by the late war
was a most liberal patron of the Univer
sity and bas the remarkable record of
having ; supplied five Professors to the
University. These are Mr. W. L. Jones,
tbe late Chancellor Mell, Drs. John and
Joseph LeConte of the University of
California and Dr. Joseph Jones of
the Medical college of Louisiana.
After graduating with first honor at
the University of .Georgia, Dr. Jones
took the degree of M. D. at the College
of Surgeons and Physicians of New
York, and of Bachelor of Science at
Harvard. During his stay at Harvard
he was a private pupil of the elder
Agassiz, and devoted his attention to
Zoology and Geology, the principal sub
jects be afterwards taught in the Uni
versity. At one time, however, he fill
ed the chair of Chemistry, and more
recently that of Agriculture.
Since the late war, financial consider
ations, consequent upon the loss of ail
his property, led him into the field of
Scientific Agriculture, where at once he
attained the greatest prominence as a
writer, and is recognized throughout
the Sonth as the highest authority in
agricultural matters. a-
His retirement leaves only one native
Georgian, Prof. D. C. Barrow, in the
Academ'C Faculty of the University.
Dr. Jones will move at once to Atlan
ta and make it his permanent home.
THE ALUMNI SOCIETY.
And Its. Important Meeting Next
Tuesday.
The alumni society of the University
of Georgia will bold its annual session
Tuesday morning at the prayer room
on the campus,
This society is in a most glorious and
flourishing condition, and is composed
of all the graduates of the University
who desire to enroll. The roll of the
society is a long one indeed.
Hon. Peter W. Meldrim, of Savannah,
is tbe president of the society, and
more active official - head could not be
found.
It can be said without hesitation that
there is not a more enthusiastic, sner-
getic, and persevering friend to the
University in the state than Mr. Mel
drim. Every commencement he comes
over and renews his college days In
Athens.
Before this meeting of the Alnmni
Society will come some very important
business. Last year a committee of
nine was appointed with Hon. Howard
Van Epps, of Atlanta, as Chairman, to
look into the different methods suggest
ed as to endowing the Institution.
This committee reports back to the Al-
lumni Society next Tuesday
and its report is anxiously looked for.
Its duty was to devise means of better
ing the University financially, and it
will be very interesting to know what
plan they will suggest.
After tbe transaction of business, the
Society will adjourn to the Chapel
bear an address from its chosen orator,
Hon. N. J. Hammond, of Atlanta.
