AND BUILD rtER OWN SYSTEM OF
WATERWORKS.
THAT. IS Ht'W,
IT LOOKS.
Tha Water Supply Question la elng
Thoroughly Agitated—The Beet
Opinion ta Favor of .Building
a New Syetem of Works.
It (call the talk-now.
The entire city baa become stirred np
In this matter and nothing will do hut
an increased tnpply of water.
The oitisena see the danger
and are fully determined to avert it if
possible.
They do not propose to ait idly by
until aome vast conflagration sweeps
over the city or the Inadequate supply
of water at the reservoir
plants the germs of disease' throughout
every section of.Athens.
The committee from the council is
quite busy already looking up data on
this question and will report at the
next meeting of the council upon the
best methods to be pursaediq the ereo
lion of a new i-ystem of Water works
and the coet of the same.
(The queatson of fl .sting bonds and
building new wa.er works is one that
is being pretty widely discussed..
It has been suggested that one hun
dred thousand dollars of bonusst 5- per
cent, or even s larger amount, be
floated to enable the city to build these
works.
Indeed, this proposition meets With
much favor. The citizens are now
paying water rents that amount to 6
percent, on $200,000.)) Why, not. float
the bonds and get a cheaper and better
water supply Y That question is now
being discussed.
it was proposed by some to advertise
for an election on this question st once
«to is to bring it to a vote at the
December election, but as the time was
Coo short vo run the sdvet. i&ements as
r< quired by law, the quest i : i will have
to remain unsettled a little v. lie lonher
There is a great probabi . y of this
question bring submitted to the people
of Athens at a very earlydate.
It is urged that a s.istem of water
•works can be i reeled by the city, and
that the rent from tne water coqaumed
will far more than pay the interest on
her bonds. *
M< an while, the people anxiouely
await the repot t of the council commit

For weeks there has been no rainfall
in Athens, and the houses have all be

This state of affaire necessarily ren

when the water supply was at a very
low mark. *. *
But last night about nine o’clock a
much welcomed rain came, and contin

This relieves matters very much and

' A LIVELY FIGHT-
BETWEEN MESSRS. J. J. STRICK
LAND AND J. F. COLBERT.
WEAPONS ARE DRAWN
And But for the Intervention of
Friends There Might Have Bpen
Serious TroubW—An Inter-
vlsw-WIth Col- Strick
land.
Cd.Joo. J. Stricklaod. a promi
nent lawyer of Athens, and Mr. J. F.
'Colbert, a wealthy farmer of Madison
County, bad a difficulty in Danielxville
Tuesday that came near being serious.
Onr reporter saw Mr. Strickland yes
terday aud asked him (or tbe facts con
c ruing the matter. He replied that
he abhorred difficulties, and thought
they should be kept as quiet as fco«gi-
;ble, but as tbe matter was public,
and‘would doubtless reach tbo papers,
be would content to give tbe facts as
be understood them.
On being asked how the difficulty
originated he said:
"The origin of the difficulty dates
back to last summer when Colbert aud
bit wife were separated and hia wife
suing for alimony. My firm represen
ted Mrs. Colbert, and as m-r attorneys
had a number of interviews ’ with Mr
Colbert in an effort to -adjust the ali
mony element of the case. Among tbe
rest was ah interview with Mr. Colbert
and his attorney in which
Colbert agreed and paid
♦250,00 dollars as a monthly allowance
for Mrs. Colbert. 1250.00 doll arses her
fee due us in tbe case then pending.
Id all matters pertaining to the case
I did what I conceived to be my dnty
and no more and uo less. 1 - present
ed my client faithfully and give her
such legal advice as 1 thought proper.
While the matter was pending we re
ceived a letter from Mr. Hill, a brother
•in-law of Mm. Colbert stating, that
Mrs. Colbert bad been informed that
her husband had stated that we, Thom
as Snd Strckland, had been emp16?ed
by him to induce his wife to return to
him and had paid us & large toe for such
service and that |Mrs. Colbert desired
ah interview with us ib person or by
tetter. -We-knew, of course, that the
Statement was a fabrication and did not
believe that Colbert bad said it. But in
response to the letter I went to set, Mrs.
Colbert who was thtu t* Mr. Hill’s iu
Palmetto. y
Mrs. Colbert stv.. " . tee k* r ; jr
there was no truth iu tb- on .rge u i-le
against us in regard to selling out hat
that she wanted t<> confer with ,one
about an adjustment of the trauble be
tween herself and husband.
“She, and her father and myself dis
cussed the matter at some lenght an 1 1
drew articles of a settlement embracing
tbe stipulations she desired and the
proposition as we understood it made
her husband.
After che had approved the agree
ment as written, I sent it to Mr, Col
bert’s attorney and lefL Soon after
wards tbe matter was adjusted between
them mod Mrs. Colbert returned home
and they were both 1 thought and hoped
happy and Contented i'orthe purpose
of protecting the feeiiDg of tbe parties,
as well-as their families and especially
on acoountof their children, 1 kept ail
tbe papers in the case off the record at
at the risk of being attached for con
tempt should tbe question ever be
raised. A few weeks afterwards 1
learned to my surprise and astonish
ment that Mr. Colbert was charging
that I had been in some way instru
mental in separating or keeping sepa
rated him and. his wife by making false
charges on him an-l her.'
“Ou learning this 1 told a mutual
friend to tell Colbert that bis charges
against me were unfounded. That the
charges made against him by his
wife were contained in
the petition for alimoiiy which was
sworn to by Mr». Colbert before 1 saw
her or had any interview with her after
the separation, knd that 1 would place
the proceedings upon record for my
own protection and vindication unless
he cessed the talking about tne. That
all I bad said about him or knew to say
was contained in the petition referred
•A A few days afterward another mu
tual friend.came to see me and stated
that Mrs. Colbert wanted tbe'petition
for alimony she had filed as ahe didn’t
want it recorded.
I replied that I would not surrender
the paper but that I would keep it ofl
of record and'drop tbe matter on condi
tion Hut they would do the same. The
friend reported to me later in tbe day
that this adjustment was satisfactory,
and the whole matter would be
dropped. - , -
Thus the trouble as I thought termi
nated. I have never seen Mr. Colbert
from then until yesterday.
-While talking with a gentleman
about a business matter Colbert called
to tne and said he wanted to »ee me. 1
replied that I would see him in a min
ute. . - . .
But without waiting he came to
where we were talking, and in. an ex
cited manner saiu the- Outer Arnold
had denied charging that we had sold
out to him (Colbert.)
“To that 1 replied that I had never
heard of Mr. Arnold saying such a
thing.. Colbert then said t had said so.
I told him no,he was mints ken, that 1
said Hill told me that he beard that he,
Colbert, bad said so.
“To this.he said: “yon said Arnold”,
I said: ”1 did not,” he then said: “do
not dispute my word” and repeated
“yon said Aruolti ’’ 1 agrin denied it
and he said: “yon arr- a it—d liar,” and
I struck him wiih &Brnall *aiki g <ane
I had in my hand- M>-thi struck me
with a heavy cane with a share cor
nered handle. We wen on a ledge of
rock and both fell.
I stuck my thumbs into bis eyes on the
ground, and as I did so, some gentle
men palled me away, and thus that
part of ibe difficulty ended.
, “Shortly afterwards In a
trial before the council for disorderly
con loot. Colbert stated that he had
paird us $250,00 dollars to go to see his
wife for bimand this in tbe presence of
a large audience.
“S i soon as tee court adj -urned I
went to him and asked what he meant
by that statement, if be meant to say
teat ua paied ns tee money for himself
.«r*ar a debtihathis wifeowefl us, af
ter some hesitation he stated that it
was his wife’s debt and that was tbe
only money he bad paied us and asked
me if teat was not correct
asmiF
I didn’t tel] him 4* was Arnold that
“immediately be again drew hia stick
and Igot out “you are” before be
eooM finish tee sente
I threw my pistol in hia breast, and
I did so "Mr. Jeff Scott knocked np my
baud and posted me backwards and *a
lot of friends caught tne. Colbert’s
friends took charge of him, »ai thus
tee difficulty was stopped between us.
„“Theonly apology 1 have to make for
drawing a weaponTw that Colbert ia a
stout man, weighing something near
two hundred pounds, and waa armed
with a large, heavy stick—while I
weigh toeetaefi 190 pounds, and bad
only a email cane. I knew I was no
match for him physically, and I didn’t
propose for him to hit me any more
witn test stick ”
Mr. Colbert has not yet been seen as
to his side of the affair.

SURPRISING TESTIMONY.
Many physicians who have examined
into tbe merits of B. B. B. (Botanic
Blood Balm), have been coufronted
with testimony which they deemed sur
prising, and thus being convinced of
ts wonderful efficacy, bave not failed
to prescribe it in their practice as occa
sion required.
H. L. Cassidy,- Kennesaw, Ga,
writes: “For4wo years my wife was a
great sufferer, Skillful physicians did
her no good. Her mouth was one solid
qlcer, her body was broken out io sores,
and she lost a beautiful head of hair.
Three bottles B. B. B. cured her com
pletely, incredible as it may sound, and
she is now tbe mother of a healthy
three-months old baby dear from any
scrofulous taint.”
A. H. Morris, Pine Bluff, Ark,
writes: “Hot Springs and several doc
tors failed to cure me of several run
ning ulcers on my leg, B. B. B. effected
a wonderfully quick cure after every
thing else bad railed.”

OLD LOVBRS1
Last
Queer Wedding Occurred
-Night.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 4—[Special.1—
Tbe queerest wedding that has ever
been known took place tonight.
Hiram Lester, aged 124 years, and
Mrs. Mary E. Moseley, *ged 76 united
tbeir destinies.
£lt appears that the wedding was for
tbe financial benefit of the old couple,
and a charge of twenty-five cents was
made to see' tbo knot tied. It was a
sort of marriage for tbe gate reoeipts.
But old Hinua says he lovea his
wrinkled bride. He first met her when
he was an inmate of tbe poor-house at
McDonough, and she waa tbe matron..
When the poor-houfc was changed into
a farm, and Mrs. Moseley jlost her job,
old man Lester paid ber regular visits,
and bo been paying her devoted at'
tention for ten years.
Hiram Lester is probably the oldest
man living in the world. A few months
ago the Journrl published an amount
of hi* life and printed bia picture. Tbe
sketch was written by Dr. J. W. Lee,
and for that reason ne was asked to
perform tbe marriage ceremony, bnt be

New York, November 4.—Ex Presi
dent Grover Cleveland was seen at his
residence an Madison avenue today,
and gave his opinion of tbe resalt of
Tuesday’s election as follows
“Of coarse every one has the right to
put his own construction upon tee re
sult, and I am not anxious to obtrude
my ideas, but it seems to. me some
things ought to be no louver doubtful.
Any mao who still thinks that the
tariff reform is a settled and obsolete
issue or'that the importance of a sound
and safe money is a question upon
which tbe peo' le can be blinded, is
either willfully wrong or dangerously
dull.
“It seems to me, too, that tee Demo
crats ought to be satisfied that staunch
adherence to the principles of their
party does not require an abuse of those
who show an inclination to help us.
“I very much regret the defeat of
Governor Campbell. He has been a
brave and honest official. This and tbe
splendid canvass he made entitled him
to success.
“While the election of Flower, Rus
sell and Boies ought to cause tee utmost
rejoicing among the democrats, they
ahonld not forget that with these things
comes the obligation to be true to the
people, honest in the advocacy of onr
principles and decent in all things.

love the memories that hover about the
graves of their dead. Many band-
some new mouumeuts have recently

ing places| of some of Georgia’s greatest
leaders, ablest statesmen, noblest men.

“Uon*—glimmering through the dream of
things that were. °
A school noj'stale—the wonier of an hour!”
The Bob Toombs ca'.!
What memories cling to the form of
that statwart monarch of tee University
campus, now going to decay!
What a bisiory has that giant oak, and
how it blends with the history of Geor-
gia!
I stood beside its mammoth body yes
terday and thought about the past. I
thought bow pretty was the story—
tbe tradition as it almost seems to me
now—that tells bow the old oak first
came into prominence. I fancied for a
moment the picture: handsome Bob
loom hs in the bloom of passionate youth
standing there before the crowds that
tloeked about him to hear his memora
ble graduating speech. Cheer after
cheer goes up testifying to the fire of
patriotism and magic eloquenee lust
kindled into blaze! J
And then I thought of the life of the
man and his death; and then of the
fast approaching death of the tree.
Toombs with a crown of universal
love and admiration has crossed tbe
river and gone to bis reward among the
faithful. This old tioe seems co have
been touched by the blaek robed mes
senger at the same time. It is dead, too.
* * •
This reminds me that when the ven
erable wife of Toombs was called away
from earth, it was observed that the fol
lowing fall, one of tbe large trees that
stood at the gate of the Toomb’s man
sion in Washington turned yellow iu
the gra*p of death also. v
