THE ATHENS BANNER: SUNDAY MORNING MARCH 9. 1890. GEORGIA’S CAPITAL. | WHAT IS TRANSPIRING IN AT LANTA FROM DAY TO DAY. l'HB OK4UV MONUSIKNT—TALKS ABOUT TIIK SUIT OOVRRNOH—TOM Ollt- SOIC COtVTKMl-LATKS MATKIMO.ir. Atlanta, Gr., March 8.—[Special]— Everybody in Athens,like everybody in Atlanta, is, l;suppeae, interested in the selection of Alexander Doyle as the sculptor of the memorial of Henry Gra dy. Tlic oommittce was very consider ably split up when it came to e docisiou of the important matter of selec ting the man to hare charge of the work. Fif teen designs in *11 were submitted to tlie committe. They came from all parts of the country, and sculptors of erery degree of reputation; but when the designs were compared, that of Ur. Doyle met with the approval of a ma jority of the committe. Several mem bers favored leaving the matter open for further competition, but after the final decision was made I think all felt throughly satisfied. There will be modifications in Ur. Dot!-’* plan. The figure for Instance, will not heat all likenis design—there it ahowa Mr. Grady leaning npon a chair; tha figure is not his, neither is the atti tude. ft serves f» show, however, the proportions between figure und pedestal, and that 1s all that ItTs meant to show. Then there will be other changes, but the general Idea of Mr. Doyle's plan is adopted. . . „ Doyle will be remembered in Geor gia as the sculptor of the Ren Hill sta tue, andof the Jasper Monument. He is probably tha most prominent or the younger men of his profession, having to his record many of the most notable works of art in this country. The question.iwhere shall the monu ment be lecated ? hasn’t been officially acted upon, but it la understood tha the junction of Marietta and Rroad streets baa practically been chosen. Here it tha very heart of tha city to which and for which be gave bis life's best endeavor, will stand the monument to the memory of Georgia’s greatest son. . “Wo want him right hero with us,” said the people when it was proposed that the Capitol grounds be selected. “Ha belonged to us—we loved him moat.” And it is response to this demand— whieh is general—that this most cen tral place selected. The air Is full of talk about the gov ernorship. The Constitution’s ballot printed last Sunday stated it, then came Fresident Livingston to throw the bomb into the political camp. The great strength shown by Col. Northern has undoubtedly given that gentleman a boom In the popular esti mation, and Just now he is being most talked about. The vote which Col.Blount received—all of it presumably unsolici ted—has caused the friends of that gen tleman to take active hold, and I am re llably informed that a quiet canvass of the situation is being made by them. Joe Dlount came up from Macon a few days ago and haa been talking with aome of his father’s friends, but he •weirs there is no polities In it. “It your father In tho race ?” he was asked last night. “That lsjust what I am trying to find out” was all he would say. Col. Livingston Isn’t a bit disconcerted about the smallness of bis vote, as Indi ted by the returns. He let the the oth er fellows have their day, but all that time ha wae sawing a goodly one out of political wood. Then came his turn—and how be did stir them up 1 The Colonel is decidedly aon-coinmu- nlcative about hit chances, but he has on his staff several men who are not. One of these talked pretty freely to me Thursday. “Just ieok out for Livingston,” he began. “Did you read his Interview; Well, of course you know what that means, and we’re going to put these fellows In Congress on the rack, and if they don't come our way, we’ll bring out our Alliance candidates. Liv ingston Is shapenlng things so thst he will be at the head of any and ev ery ticket, and he can do it at this time. He’s a slick one, and no mistake.” Young Mr. Thirkleld, the dean of the negro theological school, le doubtless “sorry he spoke” in Illinois. His brother ministers took occasion to Jump an him fer some of bis utterances and they did it In the most approved fashion. This young man, it seems, hat been saying outaide of Georgia some things which he acknowledges he could not say in It, and it’s all in the same old republican hireling vein. He talks of “outrages” in the South, but in tbs same breath acknowleges that the negroes are better treated here than they would be in the North. Tills young min It a son-in-law of Gilbert Haven. By the way, do you hoar Hoke Smith la ked off ’Tit current gossip thst hit friends am sounding the public pulse with s view to having him auoced General Gor den. “Young Joe" Brown tells me thst bit father's health It considerably bet ter, and that he will probably go to Washington early in April. 11a was a ticker man than people believed, but his wonderful vitality bat pulled bun through once more. Somebody walked up ta the Kimball House counter yesterday and stated that Tom Gibson, of the Anyut a News, bad determined upon matrimony. “DetenuHied upon it,” said Ed, Calloway. “That's good enough. I’ve ‘determined’ time and agalu. But here 1 am!” And he bought himself a drink. Jon Oul. PERSONAL AMD SOCIAL Misses Cloude and Maude Fullilove will visit their home in Oconee to-day.

A REVIEW OP THIS GREAT’ ORGANIZA TION. ITS MISSION AND ITS WORKS- The Only Salvation for the Struggling Far mers—They Will Coiitr*l rolltlca In Georgia and the Booth—The 1’on It ion of The Athens liAJtNKB—A Word to Certain Critics,Etc. Ktc. When tlie Farmed* 1 Alliance was lira' organized it was a general prediction that the movement would soon go V/j .pieces, and !>e wrecked on the breakers of politics. Hut as months passed away and the order, instead of weakening, gained both in strength and Influence, its enemies saw their mistake, and one by oae struck their flags to tho now power. ^ Never for an instant have we doubt ed the purpose or future of tho Alli ance. We knew the character of the men wiio were enlisting under its ban ner, and the gieat causo ther had at stake. It waa a life and death struggle with our farmers—fov not only their present weal and welfare, but for the future of their children and grand- children. They were to decide whether the farmers of our conntry should be come serfs ou lands they once owned, or take their independent and honored position in the government and pros perity of the country that is a birthright given them by tho Almighty God Him self. Every trade, avocation and profession had banded together for mutual protec tion. The'farmers alone werp disor ganize 1, and to fall an easy nrnl ready prey to every man with whom they came in contact. Ah a natural conse quence, while every ether class was prospering beyond all reason, the til ler of the soil saw himself slowly hut surely being ground between the mill stones of capital into poverty, and knew that the day was not far distant when he intuit be turned out of house and home. Take the history of any town within range of your memory, and you will see one or more men in each who started in life with no more capital thun the average farmer. Hut what a change a few years have wrought! In spite of the fact that the farmer lias labored hard and lived frugally, while his mer cantile neighbor enjoyed all the pleas ures and luxuries of life, yet while the one is overhurthened with debt, the •ther counts his acres by the thousand. • * Now this is an unjust and unnatural condition of atTuirs, and shows that there is something radically wrong in the apportionment of profits. While the merchant Is justly entitled to a le gitimate profit on the goods he sells the farmer, at the same time the latter should have a fair return for his labor. It nroves aa unequal division of the good tilings of our land, and it was only a question of time when the worm would turii. For centuries the peas antry of France submitted to exactions from the rich, until their families fed on grass and nettles, while the land owner took fieni them the last crust of bread. But a day of retribution at last came, and tho heartless despots were swept from the face of the laud, never again to be reinstated. We do not propose to compare the situation Of our Southern planters of today with the Iatfdlord-rid- den peasantry of France before the Reign of Terror; but we do assert that had our farmers continued in their old bea’en paths, that they would have brought their descendants to this help less state. Give a ir.an wealth mid power,and there are few but who will be come oppressors. It Is human nature to assert power when it la within your grasp. %• We do not blame the merchants and other classes for lining their advantages to swell their gains, and neither should they censure the Fanners* Alliance for using its power to protect its members. Hut from this duv on the battle between the honest tiller of the soil and the inen who handle hi* crops and sell him goods will be a more enual •ue. The farmer will tight cotubiiia- tion with combination, aud demand a voice in nettling prices. The Alliance movements, like all great reforms, will work hardship on some men. 'Phis is already aceu in the unu«uaUy large number of mercantile fail urea the past few months, despite the fact that abundant crops were made and tlie country was never so prosperous. But an explanation of this is easy : There have always l>eeti more stores than necessary, but owing to tlie Urge pr»tUf on goods they managed not only to exist, but made money. The Alliance has returned the prices of goods to a living profit, and there is going to be a general thinniug out in tliis line of business. The uaya for Urge and rapidly-accumulated fortunes arc gone, and from now on a uieichant will have to work as hard for the al mighty dollar as the farmer who digs it from the ground. • # The men who imagines thst this Alli ance movement will soon be numbered among the things that were, had as well dismiss such a hallucination. The Farmers* Alliance ia to-day a stronger fixture than either of the great political parties that have existed for nearly half a century; and »• far from dissolv ing, it will gather fresh strength year by year. This year it will control pol ities in Georgia and other Southern State. The farmers have long been con trolled by politics, and intend now to take a rolling hand themselves. They are the most conservative people in th* world, and it is an insult for a paper to prophecy that they will wreck their or ganization for Its members to exercise their right and power to vote for men in full sympathy with their interests. We are not an admirer of Col. Liv ingston but the efforts of certain lead ing papers to pull him dowu even be fore he is announced as a candidate for Governor, and blacken him in the eyes of the men who have selected him as head of tfeir order in our great State, will build up for him a sup port ami sympathy that he outilil not otherwise secure. Snob a policy will accomplish the very eml they hope to defeat. It matters not what may fc. your persontl feelings toward Lol. Llvinston, ho is u>-day a private ,‘ittzeu and the head of an hon orable organization of farmers. Inat- teniDtlr g to debase or hold him up to ridicul* ; is to aim a thrust at the AI Han .’e, and it is into the bosom of ofthi' noble organization of farmers that every venomous shaft enters. Yor cannot Injure or pull down tlie h#*ad of the Farmers Alliance “"i. taunt the organization being affected. We are prompted*to write thia article that otfr reader* may know just how Tiik Baxnkii stauda on the Alliance movement. We have received several letters and messages asking if our pa- l»** r propose* to fight the merchants for tho Alliance, and threatening a loss of patronage if we do not change our course. We deny that wo ire antago nizing any merchant, or have alligned ourselves against thoir intarest. We receive ten dollars from the towns to one from the farmer, and of course it is to our pf caaiary interest to sustain the former. ' %* But iu our defense of the Alliance, we are prompted by an earnest and hoaest desire to give all in our power to * i-ruggllag people, and feel that in their success alone rests tha future prosperity of our country. L«*t every patriotic mas--bo he merchant, manufacturer or professional—work hand la hand with the Alliance, and lift them out of the mire of bankruptcy into which they were fast entering. To destroy the in dependence of the farmer is to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. We want the good will sad support of every merchant; buf if a man expects us to gain it by antagonizing a move ment that we honestly believe is a just and honorable effort for relief by a struggling people, we will try and ex ist without such patronage. Tiik Banner was never known to ride a fence on anv great issue, and in this fight is frse'y enlisted under the Al liance colors. OUR HOTELS. ATHENS WILL HAVE TWO SPA CIOUS BUILDINGS. And They Will Be Managed Riegantly —A Han to Remodel the Commer cial— More Than $20,000 In the Scheme. Athens’ hotel, are on a rousing boom. Ne sooner had tho report of the pro posed enlargement of the Clsyton House been published than comes the news that the Commercial will be re built and enlarged to a capacity double that it new hat. Mr. Moss, the sole owner of the prop erty, ha* decided to remodel the bni fil ing and extend It oyer an entire block, thus Increasing the number of rooms to doublo that it now contains, and will also fit up the hotel generally, so ’.hat It will be fully In keeping with the pride and progress of Athens. TllirLAKS LAID. Mr. Moss was approached yesterday by a BAirxaa reporter anil asked abou his plans for building the Commerclel hotel anew. “My plant are simply to double the sire of the hotel and increase ita gen eral advantages proportionately. Athene needs a better hotel and I ant g oing to have it built. The present uiluing will not be recognized in the plot fur tho new one 1 shall erect, “It ia my purpose to tear away the store which J. II. Hull occupies, and extend the Commercial hotel building to that site, thus making the hotel to cover the entire space between Broad and Clayton streets. This extension will give me ample apace for more than fifty new rooms, and will furnish a spacious dining room in the rear. 1 will spare no reasonable expense in the work and think I can with careful plan ning, expend 120,000 er 130,000satisfac torily towards giving Athens a thor ough and complete hotel.” “Ilow much will the extension ef the building cost aa yon have mapped it out;” asked the reporter. “About $20,000. Maybe more, but no leas than this amount." TIIK rUTURX IIANAOXUEXT. “Who will manage the hotel In the future?” asked the reporter. “I don’t know yet, but I am going to have it Well kept. Mrs Stanley, the f iresent proprietress, ia anxioua to lease t again,but will not stay here herself. She wants to eub-rent it to another party, but the work of remodeling the building will prevent my leasing It, at the expiration of the present lease.” “When does the present lease ex pire?” “This spring,and just aa toon aa It ia out, 1 shall begin the the work of re building, It will take several months to build the new portion aid not before next winter will the contract for run ning the hotel be let. ”1 shall find an experienced botol man to take charge of the house and hope to see Athens have aa good hotel accommo dations as can be found in the South. I have agreal deal of confidence in the future growth of Athens, tnd for this reason believe Hurt the hotel business is one of the best investments to be made in the city. 1 am determined to enter it on a large scale, at all erenta.” SOCIETY’S REALMS.

Holman, at his ule attblte on Thomoa street, haa now on band the largest lot of mule* and horse* ever brought to Athena by any stable or drover.

All in all, the season of Lent has had but little effect upon the social Joys a. pleasures, seemingly. Not that the season has not been fully recognize! aud observed by those who profess to do sc, but that the large number of via. itora to the city haa infused such life and light into our social realms that gajetieshave been unrestrained. •«* At the Athenanim on Friday evening a most delightful entertainment was iu store for those invited. The program consisted of a lecture bv Prof. Charles Lane, of Atlanta, gnd other charming features, but owing to the absence of Prof. Lane, the nleaturc of the lecture waa withheld.

Dress goods always have attracted and ever will attract a woman’s ntren- tien—watch her in church, when a sew bonnet or gown makes its debut. Won’t every lady, young and old, turn if only with the corner of an eye to in spect and criticise! Notice tlirem tho street. Isn’t it just, impossible for them not to look at the new cloak that lias just moved gracefully by ? It it surprising therefore, that’they flock to as beautiful a show rooms, stock'd with elegant ta«te, as that of Davison, Lowe «& Shepherd, on Clayton St. To begin with, the store itself is de lightfully attractive. It’s new. clean and fresh from the painter’* brush; then, with rare taste m d excel hut Judgment.
