INQUIRY MADE
REGARD TO MANY QUES
TIONS OF INTEREST
CONCERNING ATHENS AFFAIRS.
Hon. H. H. Carlton Submits
Hi9 Views for the Con
sideration of the Tax-
Payers of Athens.
Mr. Walter Lowe, the “reform” Ath
ens correspondent of the Augusta
Chronicle, played the leading role it
the greatest purely local sensation of
many months last night.
It is a rich story, but one greatly to
bp regretted. Lowe was pulled inU.
C. C. Dean’s roam through a win
dow from his secret hiding place on the
roof, and literally drenched with buck
ets and basins of back numbered slops
of the most sickening odor.
The story as gathered runs that, Lowe
had been informed that there was
gambling going on in Dean’s room, and
that the police was going to raid it last
night. Lowe took a step ladder and
ascended to the tin roof of the second
story where be could look into Dean’s
room without difficulty and lay down
to wait for the raid.
The police were requested to inves
tigate the place and in obedience to the

Edit, b Banner :—It is very appa
rent to every intelligent and we;l-ttaink-
ing citizen of Athens that the time has
arrived when something must be done,
and done speedily, in order to instill
new life aDd prosperity Into our city.
This fact has been made evideot of late
by the movement on the part of our
uerohantmen to organize a Board of
rade, as well as by the effort of the
laboring men of our community to pro-
,ect themselves by the formation of a
co-operative investment and improve
ment association. These movements
have been unmistakably cmphss’zsd by
the general business anxiety on the
part of our whole people.
Now, that these and all other move
ments an the part of our people look
ing to the revival of our wanted pros
perity and piogressiveness in our city
may be made effectual, would it not be
well and wise to b 'gin at the very foun
datiou, and sweeping clean as we go,
tind out where any and all evils exist,

sued. At the juncture Major Dean
discovered Mr. Lowe at the window
money obtained from sale of said bonds
where Mr. Howell could attach or en
join it, when amid bonds oould have
been sold in Atlanta for just as much
and the money deposited in the Nation
al bank in Athena, for the use of which
Siid bank would have paid 3 per cent
interest ? This is certainly a grave and
pertinent inquiry and one which deeply
interests and concerns our whole people.
15 Could not this whole water works
business have been adjusted with
greater dispatch, jnstios and saving to
our tax-payers, if less of vindictiveness
and haste had been displayed and mere
of prudence and business conservatism
bad been exercised ?
1G When Mr. Neely, the contractor
for building our works boasts that he
has made $S,000 clear on the purchase
of the piping, is it not pertinent for
the tax-payers to inquire, why could
not the city engineer who is charged
with the duty of oonductiog the laying
and inspection of all of this piping
have saved the city this expense by
purchasing the pipe hi ir self ?
17. When Mr. Neely, the contractor,
lays off 20 feet of ditch to be dug so wide
and so deep, and only pays a darkey
50cts for doing it, when the oity
uod*r its contract with Neely pays
him 75 cts for the same work, is it not
pertinent for our tax-burdened citizens
to inquire: Why could not the street
commissioner have done this work and
thereby saved to the tax-payers 25 ots
for every 20 feet of ditch dug for our
water works?
18. Our city is being daily infested with
vagrants and paupers from all over the
country, who come to Athens to get the

To those who knew her Well, It
seems so strange to realize that Mrs. J.
W. Nicholson will move among them
no more forever; that the last sad
tributes of affection have been paid and
the mortal remains consigned to the
keeping of mother earth.
And yet such is the sad truth. In the
quiet oity of the dead in the dear old
Athens that she loved so well, she
sweetly rests.
The funeral occurred yesterday morn
ing at eleven o’clock at the First
Methodist church, the place where she
had worshipped for more than thirty-
five years.
When the casket was borne forward
to tto chancel the church was filled
with friends and acquaintances of the
deceased. The very gathering was an
evldt nee of the high esteem and love in
which the deceased was held by the
good people of Athens.
Following the family came the mem
bers of Mrs. Nicholson’s Sunday Sehool
olase, and this was the most pathetic
and touching portion of the services.
Little boys and little girls, each bearing
a bouquet of flowers to drop upon the
oasket of one who loved them and had
spsnt her best efforts in leading them
up to tbe straight and narrow path, and
behind them coming the members of
the Woman’s Missionary Societies, as
sociates of the departed in tbe work of
carrying forward the principles of the
church—it was a sight that brought the
tears to many an eye.
