“Held by the Enemy,” which is to be
presented at the New opera house Thurs
day night Oct; 17, has a reputation almost
. world wide. This is both because of its
f genuine merit and because it is tbe first
play written on the late war, wherein tbe
I conflicting interests of the North and
South have been so ingeniously interwo
t ven as not to give offense to the sympatbi-
Z'TS of either cause. Tbe play abounds
, in exciting situations and a genuine battle
I* scene with galloping horses, but these are
s happily relieved by delicate touches of the
( most exquisite comedy. The company
presenting tbe piece is spoken of every
where in the highest terms, so an excel
lent entertainment is an assuied fact.

THE COTTONPROBLEM.
’ THE TBIST VS. THE ALLIANCE.
1
Mr. George T. Marrell»« Rejoiader.
Editors Athens Chronicle:—ln your
issue of yesterday, Oct 10;h, it seems that
your reporter interviewed a prominent
cotton man of the city of Athens, on
' “The Cotton Problem.” We take it for
' granted tbat the gentleman desired that
his name should not be given.
' I will drop this suggestion for bis bene
-3 fit, and for others who may at any time
1 in the future wish to speak out in the in
terest of the “Jute Bagging Trust,” or in
r behalf of any other “Devilish plot” con
cocted to rob the poor oppressed farmers
of this Southern land of their freedom or
bard earned money, tbat is, if they expect
. their views to be considered at all, or
> their complaints read the second time by
. the honest minded and fair dealing people
. of this section. It would be belter for the
. father ot such views to give his Christian
. name if he has one, in connection with
those views. I know that some people
profit by tbe experience, of others, and
give evidence of greater sagacity and wis
dom in withholding their names from pub-
1 lie criticism, than is evinced in tbe article
’ published.
1 Under some circumstances it is evident
-1 ly more prudent for a person to get out
‘ into the bushes, and let the editor stand in
the middle of tbe big road and proclaim
1 his sentiments, but in all such cases the
desired effect can not be reasonably count
-5 ed on.
It is a little singular that this prominent
cotton man, of whom tbe editor speaks so
highly, as having held positions of honor
and (trust), did not look better to the in-
> terests of the trust business, and have bis
. name printed; for the higher and more
I honorable a position a man holds the more
j weight his views carry, whether there is
L much weight iu his arguments or not, but
. I suppose if it were to do over again this
would occur to him. Very Truly,
Geo. T. Murrell.
OLD TIME TRAVELLING.
A Relic.
To the Directors of the North east
Fair in Georgia :
If you desire to put on exposition an
“old time” trunk, in contrast to one of
modern Gate, I can supply one that came
with me fifty years ago, across the coun
try, from Louisville, Ky., in the year
. 1839, strapped to tbe back of tbe carriage,
j The journey was made by slow stages,
. often resting two or three days at a time.
, Tbe journey was made in a private car
. 1 iage, and before the days of Railroads,
5 and not in one of the old time tally-ho’s,
. with its bugle horn and fresh relay of
. horses at certain stations. When a resi
dent of Louisville, how I loved to hear
the bugle-horn, as the stage coach and its
. four, sometimes six, spirited horses, would
1 come dashing in o’er the well kept mae-
L adamized streets! Such a clatter 1 Even
_ now the sound of the old time'horn makes
. my pulses thrill with the recollection of
3 the pleasure -I used to feel in taking a
. short journey in one of those vehicles, and
how delighted I used to be whenever v?e
came to a station and changed horses—the
people ahead being warned to have them
in readiness, their harness on, so as to put
- them in position without delay, by the
loved tones of the “ old lang syne” stage
horn. How I would love to hear one now!
What a change in the last fifty years I
Yet childish recollections, “ how dear to
the heart.”
Excuse me for trespassing on your time.
, I simply meant to announce where the old
- time trunk could be had, and my pen ram-
- tiled with my thoughts, without thinking
3 how much space I was occupying in your
1 time, which I know is valuable to an edi
• tor. Very respectfully, *. *
I
j Dr. C. B. Giles.
, We copy some highly complimentary
. words from Mr. J. E. White, Editor of tbe
McDuffie Journal, in reference to the above
gentleman.
“Learning that Dr. C. R. Giles has lo
cated in the city of Athens, for tbb prac
tice of his profession, I desire to add to his
own superior qualifications my heartfelt
r recommendations.
1 Dr. Giles was born and raised in this
county,where he has scores of friends who
will endorse every word I say in commen
’ dation of him.
t He is a gentleman in every sense of the
' word, and his character for sterling integ
‘ rity and a high sense of honor, is well es
tablished.
As a physician he is efficient, faithful
and eminently successful, while his gen
_ erous and genial temperament, and his su
, perior mental and scholarly attainments,
always win the friendship and esteem of
I all with whom he is associated.
Tbe people of the Classic City will find
Dr. Giles to be all, and more, than I have
described; and will soon appreciate him
self and bls family, as a valued acquisition
to their professional and social circles.

MOCIETV NOTES.
The entertainment given by the Athen
seum last evi-ning at their club house was
one es the most elegant ever attended in
Athens. The numerous guests of tbe
evening entered into the enjoyments of the
occasion with a spirit which could not fail
to make the entertainment a success, and
no society event this season has been more
throughly enjoyed than this entertain
ment. Tbe principal amusement of the
evening was dancing which was partic
ipated in by most of those present. About
eleven o’clock elegant refreshments were
served. Thereafter the German was
danced; it was led in a graceful manner by
Mr, Harry Cbarbonmer. Among those
present were Misses Katie Rutherford,
Blanche Lipscomb, Meta Cbarbonnier,
zliHiit) Mays, Haidee Routzahn, Mary
Toombs Hardeman, Sophie Schaller,
Emm'ii Carroll, Elsie Tyler and Mr®.
Dugas, and Messrs. Fred Morion, Guy

Jesse Coates, B C Collier, John H Boston,
Jr., A F Johusou, J D Little, E F Lovell
and others.
A large number assembled last evening
at the Beney-Stovall chapel to attend a
lecture given by Mr. A. L. Hull. Mr. Huh
took as his subject “The customs and
: manners of the ancient Romans.” He
discussed this subject in a unique and in
teresting manner and received the undi
vided and ea nest attention of his hearers
to the very end. It is a matter of regret
to Mr. Hull’s many admirers that he had
not consented to lecture oftener before the
literatuers of our city. He ‘possesses tbat
humorous manner of handling bis subjects
that invests all his addresses with a charm
ing interest. Iu addition to the lecture
by Mr. Hull, Miss Elsie Tyler favored the
audience with several choice selections
upon the organ. We are glad to learn
that such entertainments will be frequent
at the Institute during the coming winter.
Miss Lucy Griffiith has returned from an
extended Northern tour, much to the de
light of her many friends.
Cards of announcement of the marriage
of Mr. Hugh Downing to Miss Brenda
Gibson, of Newnan, are out.
Mr. Ed Upson contemplates leaving for
Atlanta in a few days where he will at
tend the Technological school.
Mrs. Willie Wylie, from Doboy, is visit
ing the family of Mrs Judge Cobb.
Mrs. Ed Trainer, nee Miss Kate Taylor,
is visiting Mrs. Judge Cobb.
Mrs. J. E. Talmadge, it is universally
conceded, has the handsomest collection
of hot house flowers in Athens. She is a
splendid florist and cultivates many ex
quisite varieties.
Mr. J. B. Nevin, of the University,
left to-day for Rome to attend the mar
riage of bis sister, Miss Ida Nevin. Miss
Nevin will be remembered as having vis
ited in Athens two years ago.

leaving in a few days for a prolonged visit
to Baltimore.
Mrs. Bloomfield intends visiting friends
in Philadelphia ere many days elapse.
She will be absent for some time.

panied by Miss Mary Harris Brumby,

A Successful Operation.
A few days ago an Atlanta lady came to
our city to be treated by Dr. 8. C. Bene
dict for a case of chronic pleurisy or what
is commonlyjknown as dropsy of the chest.
She had consulted various physicians in
different cities of the country in order to
obtain relief, but none did her any good.
She finally decided to submit her case to
Dr. Benedict of this city, and an operation
was performed this morning at the Com
mercial hotel. By an inject on, Dr. Bene
dict succeeded in drawing off two quarts
and a half of fluid from her chest, giving
hei tbe relief she has sought in vain for
months. This is one of the largest quantities
of fluid ever extracted from a human body
in a like case io the history of medicine-
This abnormal amount of foreign matter
had totally displaced her heart, forcing her
left lung into a very small locality and
making respiration difficult and suffoca
tion probable. The patient slept this
morning in a lying position for the
first time in mouths. Dr. Benedict has
been congratulated on all hands, on the
successful outcome of this difficult piece of
surgical work.
Donntion.
The Ladies Parsonage society at their

We do hope and trust tbat the miduight 1

This thing of tearing down doors, auu 1
ruining private properly, is becoming a
‘ chestnut.” It seems that some take spe- *
cial delight iu making midnight explora- I
tions of Dr. White’s office. Dr. White takes 1
every precaution, and does everything in 1
bis power, to keep out the midnight ma- '
raudeis, but nothing is able to turn the in
vincible students from their undertaking. '
Now, Dr. While’s office and lecture room
is on the first floor, which renders it ac
cessible to this desperate band, and tbe
consequence is, the “busted” students take
their revenge on Dr. White’s furniture.—
Dr. White is a perfect gentleman in every
sense of the word, and would do no one an
injury designealy. Now, we think that
those who have been doing this midnight
work, should put a stop to it. Besides do
ing a great injustice and a great injury to
Dr. White, it might result in the complete
destruction of the Moore building, and
with it all the costly aud valuable appara
tus, without which the scientific depart
ments could not be able to give full and
complete instruction.
Yesterday as the sun was sinking to rest
behind the Western trees a letter was re
ceived from Mr. Walter W. Sheppard
stating tbat he would not be able to return
to college this year. It will be remem
bered that Mr. Sheppard was a candidate
for anniversariau of the P. K. society. It
devolves on some one else to become a
candidate, as Mr. Sheppard had no oppo
sition, and the numerous friends of Mr. W.
D. Edis are insisting on bis making tbe
race. After much persuasion he has con
sented to allow his name to be proposed.
There is no man in the University whom
tbe writer has more respect and more

rest assured that the P. K. society will
have a representative whom they can well

so devoted that be carried it about in his

dog iu the little boy’s arms, killing it in
stantly and splattering its blood and brains <
all over the person of its little owner. The

A Sunday Paper. I
Atlanta, Ga.,Oct. 11—Mr. Hal Moore, 1
formerly of the Brunswick Journal has 1
made arrangements for tbe publication of 1
a Sunday paper iu Atlanta, to be known as
tbe Chronicle. Tbe first issue will appear s
next Sunday. t
MR. TUSK.
Clarke’s Able Representative
Few Word* te Say.
Hon. Henry O. Tuck, the genial and
gifted “gentleman from Clarke,” arrived in
the city this morning, and has been all the
morning kept busy shaking bands with his
numerous admirers, and answering ques
tions as to the various matters which the
Legislature has under consideration. A
Chronicle man was one of those who
was able to edge in a conversation, the
substance of which we publish for those of
our readers who have not seen Mr. Tuck
since bis arrival.
“What about the Olive bill, Mr. Tuck?’*
was asked, as a starter.
“Well,” said he “you can just put it
down that if we have a full house on next
Wednesday when the bill comes up for
final consideration, the Olive bill will pass.
The agents of railroad monopoly are see
ing how much ground they have lost in
tbe fight, and are alreapy beginning to
cower before the truth as it is spoken by
the friends of the Olive Bill. Yes, you
can just be certain tbat if tbe railroad sdo
not gain over some of our voters before
next Wednesday, and if we have a full
bouse, the Olive bill will become a law,
the boasts of antagonistic organs to tbe
contrary notwithstanding. On the motion
to indefinitely postpone action, the friends
of the bill showed tbeir strength by defeats
ing this by a vote 77 to 67. It will take 88
votes to pass tbe bill, and I am sure tbat
circumstances are propitious. The Olive
bill, as at present considered, is one which
has no provision for a forfeiture of charter
on tbe part of the railroads violating the
constitution. It merely provides a fine of
uot more than $5006 a day upon any rail
road, not remedying its violatian of the
Constitution within 90 days of conviction
by the Courts.”
“What was the matter with the Univer
sity bill?”
“Tbe trouble in that was the fact that the
farmers bad instructed a large number of
their representatives against voting for it.
It is true that some of these would have
disregarded their instruction and have sup
ported the bill, but there was Itttle hope
for its passage iu the present condition of
affairs. The unavoidable absence of about
10 of the Uuiversity’s friends such as John
Hart, of Greene and Tom Mclntyre of
Thomas, on the daj tbe vote was taken
was another of tbe many circumstances
that conspired against the passage of the
bill.”
Mr. Tuck says that the house is just at
present tussling with the betterments ques
tion. An interesting rumor from Atlanta
is to the effect that tbe Atlanta Journal of
this evening will come out showing up the
methods used by lobbyists that have
thronged the halls of tbe Legislature this
session to secure votes against tbe Olive
bill, and similar legislation. It is certain
tbat such a write-up would mttkerich, rare
and racy reading.
Mr. Tuck will be detained in Athens un
til next week, attending to sotpe business
in the Superior court, He returns Tuesday
night, to be present at the vote on the
Olive bill on Wednesday.
The Juvenile Missionary society of |he
Methodist church gave a most enjoyable
entertainment last evening at tbe residence
of Mrs. J. W. Nicholson. The programme
as presented consisted of recitations by
Misses Mary Hunnicutt, Leila Cook, Julia
Nicholson, Lucy Hunnicutt and Hilda
Blount, and music by Miss Lilia Mande
ville and Master Bedo Blount and Mr.
Minor Nicholson. The exercises were
enjoyed by a large crowd and were both
delightful and profitable, quite a nice little
sum being netted for the worthy purposes
intended.
Cellege P«liqc«.
College politics are to-day at white heat
and candidates as well as their friends,
may be seen rushing in all directions,
bringing into the societies those who are
likely to vote for their respective men. In
the Demosthenian society, Messrs. J. R. L.
Smith and J. R. Cooper, are the two can
didates for tbe Anniversarianship. In the
absence of Mr. W. W. Sheppard, Messrs,
W. D. EUis, Jr, of Atlanta, and Percy
Jones, of Athens, are candidates for the
same office in tbe Phi Kappa, The race
in each society is exceedingly close aud
there is no telling what will be the out
come.
Whipping A Convict.
Newnan, October 11. —Two or
three nights ago a negro man named Henry
Hines, convicted at the Match term of
court for a misdemeanor, and who was
working out his flue on the farm of one
Mr. Hindsman, was suspected of stealing
cotton, and strong evidence found of his
guilt.
Some citizens whippedd him severely
last night. While some white men were
passing on the public road, they w«re
fired upon by the unknown parties, and
two men badly wounded, one perhaps
fatally.
It has created great excitement in tbat
section. Warrants have been sworn out
and several arrests will follow.
