1TR SKIFF S ONCE A WEEK TALK
We have heard the remark often from
persona that had criminated themselves
in a small way that they were conscien
tious in the movement and believe if a
peason has a clear conscience in what
he does it is jostifilable. Now if thia way
of doing things was universal each in
dividual leaving it to his conscience to
guide him we fear it wenid lead many
wrong, bat if guided by judgment with
conscience they would do differently
No two look upon things in the same
light and may be well they do not-what
one man’s conscience would allow him
to do, another man could not conscien
tiously do the same thing. There is *§
right and wrong in every transaction,
one whose intentions may be good
would allow a barroom to be opened on
bis premises for the rent money and
his conscience might tell him there was
no harm in it, another person of the
me standing jn societycould not with
a dear conscience do it and would not.
Another oonld rent their building for a
dab room or billiards and "no troubled
conscience in doing so, while his neigh
bor would sooner outt ff his right hand
than do it. Many people go theaters,
some may be church members their
conscience permits them, others of the
same standing and church will not (be
lieving it is a air )„ attend what Rev-
Henry Ward Beecher termed one of the
gates that leads to hdl, a theater. So
we might go on and call up the ball
room Germans, euchre and whist par
ties with many other doings in fashion
able social life, whloh is prohibited by
the majority of the people in every'
community as beingjwrcng while those
that indulge in these socitl events do it
under a dear conscience as being noth-
ng oat of place or wrong. How can a
person with a gcodand dear conscience
isk credit of a merchant with a prom
ise to pay when they knew it could not
ie done at the time appointed and oth
ers ohta ui eg credit wlcu they never
intend to pay. This way of doing busi
ness 1b more on the swindling order
•ban conscience as this class of human
ly have no conscience and if some of
them keep oat of the penitentiary they
would have to be tried before
a Clarke county jury. This credit
business as done in Athens Is largdy
^gainst the place, and unless a radical
change is made U will rain the mer
chants, and they, the merchants, have
it in their "power to atop it, and th#
sooner they give this credit business a
Sam Patob leap, the better. It is a lie-
ing and swindling institution; no con-
soience connected with it.
Thursday’s excursion to Atlanta waa
well patronized, and all that went had
a good time. Bat by this one act the
loss to Athens merchants and industries
oonld not have been leas than two
thousand dollars. Some estimate it
more than that. Thia much taken from
the city just now is worth considering.
Talk about small industries and build
ing up a place, and then go to work
and build it down in this way! Where
does the conscience come in? Cannot
aay much about Sniff, the jeweler, in
this week’s talk, bat would invite those
who would like to wear a dear con
science to give hint, your patronage.
The beet place to have your watch re
paired is at Szmr, the jeweler’s.
A MUSIC CH4RT.
We call attention to the Internation
al Publishing Co.’s advertisement rela
tive to the “Nell’s Chart of the Rudi
ments of Music.” It is the most con
cise and simple method for teaching
the rudiments of music ever invented
and all lovers and teachers of tb.
grand art will hail with delight this
great work which lightens the labor of
both teacher and pupil to such an ex
tent that a small child can learn in a
few days what it formerly took months
to acquire. This chart is indorsed by
the best musicians and teachers in
America, and has met with great suc
cess. Any one interested in mnsio
should call and investigate this chart.
It will certainly pimress those who see
at. For sale by Haselton A Dozier and

PANIC IN A SCHOOL
It Was Commencement Night at the
Masonic Institute.
RnraooLD, Ga , Jane 24.—This was
the second night of the commencement
exercises of the Ringgold Masonic In
stitute. The exhibition was to have
been given in the seoond story of the
large bnildihg.
The enrtain was to rise at 8:15 o’clock
and the bell bad jost rang when one of
the large electrio lamps fell with a
crash and almost instantly the flames
leaped from the stage to the drop cur
tain. Pandemonium reigned and strong
men turned pale as they realized that
the honse would bnm down. Women
screamed, children fainted and all- was
confusion. Some of the more collected
men sprang upon the benobes and made
an effort to quiet the crowd, bat their
efforts were in vain, as the maddened
orowd surged to the only exit.
The announcement that the fire was
out did not stop the effort to get away.
Some of those who were more hasty
than the others ru3hed to the windows
and leaped to the ground. The city is
in a state of excitement that was never
equalled before. The teachers claim
that no one was seriously hart.
Feather beds were placed on the
ground at the windows and ail ladies
that conld be found were put ont that
way. A great many mide their escape
in that manner. There was no effort
made t> carry out the programme that
had been prepared for the evening.

SOME SOUND VIEWS
Of sui Athens Business Man on the
Credit System.
Editos Banner :—Muoh has been
said about small industries and co-op
erative industries for the upbuilding of
Athens. We have tried repeatedly to
organize a board of trade, get the busi
ness men of the town united for the
mutual benefit of all, bat have failed
just the same number of times that we
have tried to organize. I have thought
about the situation a great deal, and am
thoroughly satisfied in my own mind
that the worst monster that the busi
ness men of Athens have to contend
with ia the infamous credit system that
we have. There are not a dozen con
cerns in Athena today doing bnsiness.
that have not got from one to two-thirds
of their capital in notes and accounts.
It is true that a great many of those ac
counts are against people who.are
worth more than the concern to whom
the aoconnt ia due—and jost here ia
where a great portion of the trouble
begins. The business man iB afraid to
shat A—- off, or try to force him to a
settlement, because he is afraid of los
ing his trade, and knows that his neigh
bor will sell him if he don’t. Yet, nei
ther one of them are able toearry such
accounts from year to year, as scores of
ns are trying todo.
If any of ns go to bank to borrow
money, or let our bills ran past dne, we
expect nothing else but to pay interest
for every day we use each funds. And
yet, the business concerns of Athens are
carrying accounts from one to three
years against parties that are consider-
ed,aolvent witbont one cent of interest.
These same parties wonld not lend the
business men money for sixty days time
without interest, it strikes me that it
is time for the bnsiness men of the town
to call a halt and ask for fair play, and
demand a settlement at least as often as
we are forced to settle our accounts,
which is every thirty days, or four
months, the longest time that we can
bay goods on.
There are good men that are allowing
their aezounts to run on unsettled, in
vesting their money wherever they can
see a chance for gain, without ever
stopping to think what agreat injustice
they are doing the business men by
forcing them to carrrtheir accounts.
If the good people of Athens will
only think of this in the eight light . and
make a desperate effort to pay their
debts—thereby enabling others to pay
theirs—Athens will at onoe take on new
life and commence prospering. There
won’t be so much grumbling and com
plaining about hard times. The people
will be more oharitably disposed and
feel more like loving thy neighbor as
thyself. I know of men that own
thousands of dollars worth of real es
tate that have let their aooounts ran on
indefinitely—so long that they dispute
having got a number of articles that
compose it. They get mad when a col
lector asks them to pay a portion ofc it
is not convenient for them to pay it all.
The man who holds the account is hard
pressed, has bat little capital and knows
that he mast meet his obligations or go
to the wall, as dozens of others have
done from the same coarse, and yet the
real estate man Bays by his actions,
“Let him go to.the wall—he ought to
have bad better sense.” And I, for one
of the business men of the town, think
that it Is time-to say to all such parties
that I have carried your account as
long as I can, and, if yon are worth it,
I must have it—if you are not worth if,
the sooner I know it the better it will
be for me.
I wonld like to hear fromothers on the
Sime line. \
