Banks County Gazette.
vol. IV.
Go Through Rabun Gap.
Athena is now very much exercised
over the extension of the Northeast
ern railroad to'Knoxville, Tenu., but it
seems that her people are in favor of
the building of a road from Lula to
Ball Ground, in Cherokee county, to
connect with the Marietta Jk North
tieorgi* road, and thus on to Knox
ville, instead of the the original line
by Clayton and Franklin, N. C.
Wo agree perfectly with the re
marks of the Banks County Gazette on
this subject, It says that Athens can
never reap any very great advantage
by building gap to Ball Ground as it
would pass through a country already
tributary to either Gainesville or At
lanta and which could scarcely be di
verted to Athens as its market.
Whereas, if the road be built through
Rabun Gap and on by Franklin to
Knoxville, while costing considerably
more for construction, it would be
worth infinitely more to Athens, as it
would give that city almost the entire
trade of Northeast Georgia and a
good portion ot North Carolina. This
b Jeer tain ly true, and it would be well
for the people of the Classic city to
consider it carefully before deciding to
make the extension by way Ball
Ground.—Clarksville Advertiser.
Facts About Hawaii.
It is natural that the whites in Ha
waii should make a determined efforl
to rule the islands.
They have carried civilization and
progress to a ’and of perpetual sum
mer, where nature will feed clothe and
shelter people almost without an ef
fort on their part. The conditions of
life arc so easy that the moderately
industrious rapidly accumulate prop
erty- Hawaii has fifty-six miles of
.railwas, ‘250 miles of telegraph lines,
street cars, electric lights, and almost
every house in Honolulu has a tele
ph"iie. Few families are too pool
to be without a piano, serins ini.
cliine and a Imisc and v elude of soiue
sort.
The population is 83,990, and of
this number 34,430 arc natives; 6,180
half castes; 7,495 children of foreign
parents; 15,301 Chinese; 12,380 Japa
nese; 8,602 Portuguese; 1,923 Ameri
cans: 1344 British; 1,034 Germans 277
Norwegians; 70 French; 588 Polyne
sians, and 419 other foreigners. There
are numerous churches atnl si hools,
and all the conveniences of civilized
life.
The whites fear that under a native
government the islands will drift
backwaril into barbarism. They argue
that they hSve as much right to con
tiol affairs as our ancestors had when
they landed in America and subdued
the Indians and denied them any
voice in the government. Whether i
they make out a strong case or not,j
they have the upper ham at presen
and if they remain united it is proba
ble that they will hold their own. The
United S:ates will hardly restore the
queen against their wishes, when it is
a foregone conclusion that they will
dethrone her again. This is the way
the situation stands at present.

The Talc of the Mortgaged Mule.
Look on this picture: Lest January
a negro tenant, fat and greasy from
wholesome food, scolloped with 'pos
sum and taters, with good humor,
loud laugh and profuse in promises of
hard work and an economical living,
bought ayoung m ule from a LuG range
merchant and started his years work,
having arrangements to get all his
supplies from “de sta.” There was
lots of rest time in the wet weather of
spring, and the negro and mule had a
good time in the country visiting, at
tending revivals, associations and con
ferences. As the summer advanced
went and supplies were cut short, the
shortness falling principally on the
mule, until finally they were stopped
altogether. Things rocked along
this way until cotton picking time.
Then look on this: Cotton crop
about one-half short, price another
half short, and at the day of settle
ment the merchant is half paid for
supplies, with nothing Jor the mule.
Mr. Negro is not so fat'ami slick as in
the spring, and I>ecembej finds him
positively “ashy.'’ lie. litis held on to
the mule until the merchant demands
its return, and when it is returned it
is a sight to behold. It is so hide
bound and ]>oor that its skeleton will
hardly hold shucks. It walks with a
limp. The off hindleg is wrapped in
a croker sack, mid the front knees are
scarred from frequent fails. Eleven
months ago the mule was worth SIOO.
and today Ire is net worth much more
than the the paper on whmh’-the mort
gage was Written. The litibject is to
painful to attempt to point a moral.—
Ex.
Hon. Sieve Clay ha, an uneed
that lie will not be a candidate for
governor. This leaves only K\an
and Atkinson in the race at present,
with a probability that Atkinson w ill
withdraw.
It the House will work as well ma
king" the new tariff as it has ill ma
king new states, the country will not
complain. It has already added two
stars to the flag, and is preparing to
add another.
Next year will witness lively times
in local politics.
A “Trust” Which Is Popular.
There is a great deal of indignation
felt against trust The Sugar Trust
the Standard Oil Trust, the Welsh
Tin Plate Trust, the English Salt
Trust, and other combinations of the
kind, are vigorously denounced, and
it is a subject of controversy whether
there are more trust in England than
America, and whether protection or
free trade, foster tlmtn. Put there is
one form of trust against which no
one has anything to say. That is
the trust the public reposes in Hood’s
Sarraparilla.
