The dairymen of Georgia are up in anna against what they consider is their deadliest foe -oleomargarine. The oleomargarine cry is not anew one, for the story has been known and talked about and printed for years,but the fight has hurst out again, just as a volcano, long inactive, belches out its fire and smoke jvitout any previous announcement. Butter is worth 2.5 cents a pound to the dairyman. He must get that much for it if he makes any profit out of his butter business. Qleomargaiine sells for 124 cents a pound, just exactly one half the price which the dairyman charges for butter. (’his makes the issue and shows the cause of the war that has beeu de clared. dust what makes this story apropos is the fact that numerous letters have been written the department of agri culture asking that something he done for the hotter protection of the dairy men. These Infers are so earnest and so persistent that it is impossible to allow them to pass unnoticed or un answered. There is a law on the statute hooks, which if properly enforced, would put anew phase on the ques tion Colony CoinM To Ottoi'KiH. The Hunk in commonwealth, a so cialist co operative colonv that has been in existence at Buskin, Term., has nettled at Duke, ()., where the colony will hereafter be located. Everything from the old Raskin commonwealth, with the exception of the houses, was moved to the new lo cation, and a more earnest lot of peo ple are seldom soen together. The Raskin commonwealth was es tablished five years ago on a tract of land in middle Tennessee comprising eighteen hundred acres. The colony was organised on the idea of Edward IS (and lam y’s “Looking Backward,” being a strictly co-operative colony, where 'every citizen should he equal in every particular, everything owned by thrill being common property. Being the first colony of its kind ever attempted, its growth and success has been watched by students of social ques- j lions nil over the world. That the j colony still exists is the greatest proof of its success and the members of the company declare it is the only way to live j There are about 250 members id the company, including women and chil dren, or about fifty families. During the past six months the Buskin colony has had considerable trouble, but the ones wlio have migrated state that it has weathered the storm of internal dissent ion, and they say they now have a home, and that it is going to be a greater success than ever. * • • Way Kianrl to Courts The Hilton trophy contest, which was apparently won by the New Jer sey rifle team at Sea dirt, lias hot yet been ended. The majority of the members of the Georgia team returned from the north on the steamer City of Birmingham Sunday, and though none of them would state what course of action has been decided upon, if any, it is now probable that the Hilton trophy will not he given up to the New Jersey team. The chances aie that the team will have to light for it in the courts and prove its title. The trophy now rests in the armory of the Savannah Volunteer Guards, that or ganization having contributed the largest number of men to the winning team. * * • Col. Wat Will K^ipood A large number of prominent Con federate veterans ill the state will at tend the coming natiourl reunion of the Bine ami Gray, to bo held at Evansville, Ind,, in October Col. A. J. West, of Atlanta, received a letter a day or two ago from the secretary of the reunion geueral committee contain ing the following invitation: •'ln the name of the General Com mittee of the National Heunion of the Rlne and Gray, at Evansville, Indiana. October 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th, 180., 1 have the honor to invite yon to. respond to the toast “A generation After’ (it is intended to refer to a gen eration after the late civil war) at a banquet to be given in honor of the president of the Vuited States and other distinguished guests on the even ing of presidential day of the reunion of the Bine and Gray.” Colonel West, though oue of the youngest soldiers of the confederacy, made a bri'liant military record. • * • Day Colled OflT. The state fair committee, in defer eiye to the ishes of the people of Sa vauuah, have decided not to have a “veterans’ day,” because it might in terfere with the state reunion of Con federate veterans which will take place •n the Forest City in November *, * * (iovernor'd Decision Kgrett>f|. The decision of Governor Candler not to be on hand at the Dewey oele bration September 29th, in New York city, is regretted by none more than the members of bis staff in Atlanta, who would have accompanied the chief executive on the trip had the official duties permitted him to go. Gover nor Candler himself stated that noth ing would give him more pdeasure I than to contribute to the welcome of Admiral Dewey, and bad it not | been for the fact that his presence is required in the city so near the opening of the session of the legisla j ture, he would have gladly taken ad | vantage of the invitation of the people of New York. 0 9 0 L#ar ic" Attendance Kxperted. | The work of the fair in all depart i ments is moving along smoothly and | everything points to the greatest line I of exhibits and the largest attendance |at any fair yet held in the southern I states. It is said that excursions will | he run on several railroads entering j Atlanta during the fair. Thg attend | ance forjthe two weeks is now estirnat ok at from 150,000 to 200,000. * * ItnrSiw Will Vote For Bonfl*. The Bartow county commissioners, at a speeitl meeting in Cartersville, I ordered an election of the question of issuing bonds to the amount of 820,- ' 000 for the pmrpose of huihHng anew courthouse for Bartow county. The present structure, built soon after the war, is badly out of repair and the last grand jury recommended the new building. The election is to he held on November 15th. * * * "At llitndit of Unknown I'srllr*. -1 The body of Ed Henderson,lynched at Ty Ty, was left hanging until the arrival of Coroner A. .1. Paul,of Worth county, when the body was cut down, a jury impaneled and an inquest held. After a short inquiry, a verdict that the negro camp to his death at the hands of unknown parties was re turned. i The negroes have moved their fam ; dies from Ty Ty, and only a few old, S trusty colored men, with their families, ! remain near the village. Several alarms were sent to Tifton i of n feared uprising, but a careful pa trol of the surrounding country for ! five miles failed to reveal a sitigle i negro. The Albany authorities refused to ' send the negro arrested there on sus picious of being one of the rapists to Ty Ty for identification. ♦ * * ('niiton Won In Primary. Saturday’s primary, held in Clarke county to determine whether Major H. 11. Carlton or Captain W. B. Bur nett should represent the county in the legislature, was one of the most closely contested elections ever held. The campaign waged for about three weeks, but it was a quiet time, only two or three speeches having been made. There were 1,029 voters regis tered, and nearly a full vote was poll ed. When the ballots were counted it was found that Major Carlton had boon elected by a majority of 49 votes. * * * Bulletin No. 35 Ifluimd. The new bulletin, No. 35, treating of commercial fertilizers and chemi cals, which has just been issued from the press, is one of the most interest ing documents yet issued under the auspices of the department of agricul ture, and from beginning to end it is full of data and figures that will find many a profitable reader. The bulletin is issued under the supervision of Hon. O. B. Stevens, commissioner of agriculture; John M. McCandless, state chemist; P. L. Hut chison, first assistant state chemist, and B. G. Williams, second assistant state chemist. BUSINESS MEN FOR COUNCIL. Many U*prost>nt at i v Cltlttoii Announce Their Candidacy. The municipal campaign has started off auspiciously, and the contest prom ises to bo interesting. It is noteworthy that the candidates who have entered the race up to date are all solid, representative citizens, nnd are worthy of any honor that may be bestowed upon them. One of these gentlemen we have in mind—Mr. W. M. Terry, candidate for council from the Fourth ward. Mr. Terry is an out and out true At lantian; is thoroughly identified with tho city and our people. He came here twenty years ago with less than two hundred dollars in his pocket, es tablished a small grocery business, and, by dint of hard work, thrift and energy, he has been pheuomenally suc cessful. From a small beginning his bnsiucss grew rapidly until t day he is con ducting a large wholesale trade, and is rated up in the hundred thousands. To such men as Mr. Terry, Atlanta owes her progress and prosperity, and it is needless to say that should liis fellow citizens honor hirr. with a seat in council, he will carry into that body his well known energy and persever ance, doing his duty with an eye sin gle to the welfare of his constituents in particular and to the whole city in general. PANIC IN SYNAtJOBUK. Thirty-Two Per.one, All Women ami Children. C'ruitlifd to Death. Advices reaching Berlin from Ka bsb, in Bnssian Poland, say that thirty-two persons were crushed to death in a panic in a synagogue there, caused by the upsetting of a lamp. The victims were all women and children. Mauy others were injured. mi| innir I FTTPI? Bartow Man Gives Alarming Pict ure of Increase In Divorces, THE TIMES HAVE GREATLY CHANGED “ Hill Predict* Dire Calamity If Present Statue* of Matrimonial Matter* Do Not Improve. Who are the marriageable girls going to marry? This generation cannot judge the future by the past, for the past does not interest them. The present is tlioir chief concern. Only tlfe old people who married half a century ago can appreciate the contrast between now and theu.and the change for the worse is alarming. The mar riage relation has lost much of its se riousness, its solemnity, its dignity and consequently separations and di vorces have increased far more rapid ly than population. During the past 20 years population has increased 60 per cent, while di vorces have increased 157 per cent. What a record of broken vows and conjugal misery. Dr. Landrum, the eminent Baptist preacher of Atlanta, said in a recent sermon, “Our homes are in peril. The foundations of so ciety are threatened. Marriage is too often a mockery. Divorces are rapidly multiplying in our courts and domes tic depravity grows apace.” But legal divorces are but a small proportion of the number of separa tions, and a still smaller proportion of unhappy married people who suffer and endure their conjugal misery rather than mortify their children or exoite a public scandal. A notable lady of our town declared recently that she knew of but two happily mar ried couples in our whole community. Only two who are as loving and de voted as when they stood at the mar riage altar. We all know many who if not as happy as when first married, are as loving and kind to each other, and their happiness is only marred by the anxieties incident to married life. St. Paul said, “The love of money is the root of all evil,” and Ben Franklin said, “The lack of it is the cause of all misery.” Neither of these assertions are altogether true, but they*approxi mate the truth. I was ruminating about the greed and selfishness of mankind, for I- have been reading about these trusts so much of late that like the city of Shushan.l have become perplexed and don’t know what is going to be the end of it. Tn The Saturday Review of Septem ber 2d and 9th, which is a ladies’jour nal of great excellence, published in Atlanta, there are two articles on trusts, written by Dr. Alfred E. Sed don, an Englishman, I believe, but now a citizen of Atlanta, which for cogent and classic thought excites both admiration and alarm. After setting forth the mahy evils that will follow these great combinations of he asks: “What is pushing on this mighty movement—this great iceberg that is going counter to powerful cur rents and billows? Popular denuncia tion, the press, the enactments of con gress and legislatures are like so many waves spending their im potent wrath iu vain upon the mon ster. Trusts will continue to move on. They will grow in power and will in time corral all the wealth, the trans portion, the produce of our mines an.il fields. They will enlist iu their service a vast army of toilers, whose depend ence on them will be soul-crushing and absolute, and they will bar out another army of would-be toilers, who will have no visible means of support—-and then wliat? To what goal are we hastening? Congress might ns well try to prevent the sun from setting on the west, or to stop the down-rushing of Niagara, as to attempt by law to arrest this universal trend of modern commerce towards trust. ” Then Dr. Seddon writes of the new factor in American society—the factor of poverty and says that its prssence and its power is not yet realized. He quotes from the address of welcome by the Chicago Federation of Labor to the trades assembly: “AVe bid you welcome in the names of a hundred monopolists and fifty thousand tramps. Here mammon holds her carnival in palaces, while mothers are heart-broken and children are starv ing and men look in vain for work. We welcome you in the name of a hundred thousand idle men, and to night we will show you hundreds of strong men lying on the rough stones, in the corridors of this very building —no home, no food—men able and willing to work, but for whom there is no work.” in New York City there were over 30,000 families turned out last year for unpaid rent. There were 250 suicides and one person in every ten w ho dies is buried in the potter’s field. Oh, the pity of it—the pity of it! When will the millennial come? Dr. Seddon believes it because he knows that God is good and will not suffer sueh misery to be prolonged, anil be cause He has promised that all the families of the earth shall be blessed. lam almost afraid to read such things 40 w. Such pictures of hnman misery bring saduess and a feeling of despair. Long, long ago I wept over the “Lay of the Laborer,” by Toni Hood, when it first appeared in London. That same sad song has gotten over here on this side of the water and now our own strong men are singing: “Wherever nature needs, Wherever labor calls. No job I’ll shirk of the hardest work To shun the workhouse wails; No alms I ask. give me my task— ■ Here are firearm the leg, * The strength, the sinews of a To work and not to beg.” —Bini, Abp in Atlanta Constitution. TRAGEDY IN MALL COUNTY. Two Men Killed With an Ax In The Hands of an Enraged Husband. Monday night, Willian Dudley a, Hall county, Ga., farmer, living two miles west of Marysville, chopped Jim Bmith and Bury O’Kelly, both white, to death with an ax. The killing occurred nt Dudley’s house, some time near midnight, and was caused by Smith and O’Kelly call ing at Dudley’s house during Dudley’s absence. In accompdishing the death of the two men Dudley split their heads open with the ax, then hacked their bodies into pieees. Dudley is a man of middle age, and has a wife and four children. It ap pears from reports that he has beeu somewhat troubled iu his domestic affairs with Bury O’Kelly, who has endeavored to win the affections of his wife. On a former occasion the two men had a difficulty about this matter, and Dudley severely cut O’Kelly with a knife, the wound almost proving fa tal. Since then there has been bad feeling between the men. Dudley went away from home Mon day for some reason, and it was pre sumed that he would not return until Tuesday. O’Kelly and Smith went to Dudley’s, and had been in the house for some time when Dudley suddenly returned and found both men and his wife asleep. Seizing an ax, Dudley knocked them both iu the head and chopped their bddies almost to pieces. He then turned upon his wife, and as she ran out a back door, struck at her with the bloody ax, leaving its imprint, stained with the blood of two victims, upon the door facing. She ran for life and escaped to a negro cabin, some distance away, where she was given a refuge until Dudley went away. Retracing his steps to the houso; Dudley took in the situation, and go ing to a negro house, secured a horse and buggy, stating that he had “down ed two of the boys,” and securing his three children, drove away. RAILROAD FOR SALE. State of Georgia Will Aslt For Bids on the Nort hfiintern. Governor Candler, of Georgia, de cided Tuesday morning to offer the Northeastern railroad for sale. The attempt will be tbe third the state has made in the last ten years to rid itself of this property, which was seized on account of not meeting its obligations to the state during the ad ministration of Governor Colquitt. Attorney General Terrell was in structed by Governor Candler to pre pare at once the advertisement for bids, which under the act of the legis lature of 1897, must be sealed and filed by a certain date in the executive office. The minimum price which the governor is allowed to accept for the Northeastern is $287,000, the amount of tho bonds of the Northeastern taken up by the state through Governor Colquitt. The Northeastern, running from Athens to Lula, Ga., is forty miles in length, and is in the very best repair. For the last few years, since its opera tion has been controlled by the state, the Northeastern has been making op erating expenses and fully enough to pay the interest on the bonds. It is understood that the reason for the sale of the Northeastern at the present time, is the opportunity offered in tw-o roads to be projected across the state, both of which are to pass through or near to Athens. It is the idea of the officials of the state that both pro jected lines can be induced to bid for the property of the Northeastern, as the roads traverse that section of country, contemplated by the new lines.
