All communications soould oe addressed to THE BANNER WATCHMAN, Athena, •**. The school for statesmen did not take its usual Saturday holiday yesterdry A Saturday session this early in the year i an unusual thing for the Legislature, It ia said that the winter vacation will be given and the usual summer school of the statesmen’s institute will be held. Well, if the business of the State can be best subserved, let the re cess bo taken. Ip it is true that Phil Armour and Miss Hettio Greene are to buy the Central Railroad and hook it on to the Kansas system at Birmingham, it will make mince meat of Capt. Raoul in Georgia. The latter has just consolidated a tine Carolina system how ever, and will re main master of a fine field in any event. Capt. Raoul has always figured like man who could hold his own. Now that the Richmond and Danville Railroad has met the Georgia Railroad and matched its fast train schedule, we hope both roads will put on new* ami neat passengor coaches, and give us a de cent if not a delightful service. \Ye do not doubt that each road will find it to its advantage to do this. The best way to bid for travel is to make people com fortable and to render the journey easy It waa Gen. llragg, of Wisconsin, and Bourke Cochran, of New York, who had the spat in the Chicago Convention. Cochran said that Cleveland could uot b , not be elected because he had made enemies of Tammany. Bragg doclnred impulsively, that he loved Cleveland for the enemies he had made. Cochran has been elected to the next House and Bragg bos been defeated. 80 the spat will not be prolonged. It is very probable that next year’s fair will be held under an enlarged and embelished exhibition building at the * grounds of the Northeast Georgia Asso ciation, and that the display will carry •11 the main attractions of a State fair Northeast Georgia ia tlio natural grain and grating lection of Georgia and faira which acem to hate petered out in the cotton belt will receive their beat inter- *at and beat patronage in the piedmont taction. The Richmond and DanVillo Railroad haa proranaa good aa it* promise. The new fast passenger train, will begin their trips tomorrow morning. They will ran strictly by schedule time, and will be hindered by no freight complies- tions at either end nor on the line. This will it a great benefit to the traveling public and to Athens. It will deliver the msils here twice a day liin clock park, and will give an impetus to bifsi nesa generally by adding a separate freight lection once a day. The Richmond and Danvt le Railroad has dona the aquara thing. Tm aelection of lion. Jamea T. Kis bet to be private secretary and legal ad Tiaar*f Gov.

Tho Century Magsxine has commenc ed the publication of the life of Abrihatnl Lincoln, written in aerial form, by the two secretaries af tha murdered Presi dent. The narralira open* in the No-1 vSlpliey number in a clear, readable -wtgitamd flows easily from the pens of led continuous inves- years to close per- al a?l-wd»tion of four year*, ema to be grkpkic .nj sym- ' dng~ I and began in May, 1884, when Br. Woodrow delivered an address to the si rani of the Tresbyterisn Seminary, in Cot tmbia, S. C., in which he pointed to all the evi dences of the formation of the earth and the creation of man, and declared the probable truth of the unfolding of the species by means of evolution. Dr. Woodrow believed that the evidences of the rocks, the prtli of the fossils and the succession of the various form of ani mals showed that matter had been fol lowing a progressive aeries of develop ment from the lowest form to the hi£- ost crestion of man. This made a commotion in the Pres byterian chnrch in tho Mouth. The mat ter was at once referred to the Tarioua synods and presbyteries, which general- ly dissented from the doctrine, but de clined to insist upon tho Professor's re moval, The question catno up before the General Assembly of the Church it Augusta last May, and that body made a direct deliverance, affirming that man's creation was by immediate act of sup.'ruatural power, and not by the atages of evolution which some scientists held, Aa this body had no power of removal, tho trial of l)r. Wood- row for heresy was referred to to the Augusta Presbytery, which met at Itethel uhurch list August in Gresne county. This church court acquitted l)r. Woodrow of tho charge, but the four State Synods which control the di rectors of tho Seminary have recom mits! his dismissal from the college faculty. The Doctor will have to retire text mouth and tlio doctrine of descent by modification will probably hares rest so far as the Presbyterians are con cerned. The question has been agitated beyond its merits. Science is not positivo itself about the truth of the theory of evolu tion; indeed, later students of geology uro inclined to discredit the hypothesis entirely, Dr. Woodrow who has inves tigated tlio matter in Europe and Ameri ca has only hinted its probable truth. Tlie controversy in tho church has hing- I upon the question whether or not the theory expounded by I)r. Wooodrow was hostile to the Word of God as con strued by Presbyterian standards. Dr. Woodrow maintains that the Bible sim ply announces that God made man out of the dust of tho ground,that the Bible does not say, and the cliutcli standards do not make it say, that he was created imme diately—or blown into existence like soap bubble. His theory is that God made tho rock, the shell, the fish, the mammal ar.d the man by endowing the primordial germ with the instinct of life and leaving that genn to unfold itself into higher forms and finally tobloasom in His own image, lie does not think his theory ban out a belief in God’s power, hut rather broadens and bright en* that belief. He hold* the species may have bniltup by fixed laws and in* telligcnt methods—all proceeding from an overruling power—all sanctioned by a divine omniscience. Dr. Woodrow haa had the best of the argument. Wo do not see the danger or the impiety af his teachings. He stand* condemned by the authorities of the Presbyterian Church, however, but will probably continue his other chair, which ia in the Carolina State College in Co lumbia. Ilia church ministry is still un der the direction of th* Auguata Presby tery. form, or whether h* will return to the Randall alliance. Mr. Blount is a man of ability, experience and influence, and Georgia would be honored by once more having a representative in the Speaker!* Chair, once occupied by Howell Cobb.
