lion W. L Peek, tho populist states
man ffom Rockdale county made a sky
rocket address before the State Agri
cultural Society on Thursday advoca
ting the n-paratiou of the agricultural
college of the state from the University
of Geonria and establishing the agricul
tural college at the cx|>eriment station.
As will he seen by excerpts from the
address delivered by Chancellor Hill be
fore the society on Thursday, Mr. Peek
was badly mixed in his figures, as he
is in his statement that he is not a can
didate for office, so soon after he has
h** n nominated by the populists of
Georgia for commissioner of agricul
ture.
The Banner reprints liberally, ex
tracts from the address delivered by
Chancellor Hill, on this subject, and
at the same time, we will reprodace
here, an editorial fiom the Macon Tele
graph, of yesterday, which seems to
take an opposite view to that taken by
Chancellor Hill, and which shows that
Hon. Pope Brown is favorable to the
plan of separating the agricultural col
lege from the University. Tho Tele
graph says
“The debate yesterday in the State
Agricultural Society upon tho question
sprung by Mr. Peek, to separate the

Does Atlanta really need another elo- of this agitation. Mr. l’eelt had the
support of Hon J. Pope Browh, who
said that the separation contemplated,
and the establishment of a purely ag
ricultural college was sure to come—
that there was soarcoly little use to ap
peal to the legislature now, but that the
light would have to be made before the
people."
A Georgia exchange says if v'uba robs

Woodward bucking the state law?
It appears tuat two of tha Atlanta pa
pers are against Howell and Woodward.
It may be imaged which two these are.
1'astern Republican newspapers are in
a high state of perturbation over the
fusion this year of Democrats and Pop
ulists in various parts of the country
They profess to see In it a continued
menace to the nation with, of course, a
big N. If they could have their way,
they would so arrange matters that the
Democrats and Populists in every town
ship and ooun y In the Union should
dissolve politic!,1 partnership, set up
rival candidates, and so insure the vio
tory of tho "grand old party" in the
contest for every oflloe from tho lowest
to the highest. Fusion upBets all these
nak nlations, hei.ee the political weeping
and wailing over it, and the effort to
make it appear that national ruin is
again impending.
The Populists nnd Democrats are wise
in sticking together, and making battle
against the common enemy. It holds
out the certainty of snoot ts in many im
portant contesst, and will work no in
jury in the future The prime duty of
all Democrats this year is to agree
among themselves and to attract all and
every force that is arrayed against Re
publicanism. In mense numbers of Re
publicans everywhere are dissatisfied
with their party. They see that its ten
dencies are all in favor of the classes
udowed by 1 nnd against the masses, that many of
its leaders are the officers of gigautio
corporations, manufacturing trusts, rall-
rouds, banks and nil the other benefici
aries of special legislation, both State
and National, that no legislation is
placed In the r a utes which mil.tat s
agaiust these favi red interests, (hat, on
the contrary, they are made immane
against attack of any kind. Prom these
oppressive conditions Republicans suffer
as sorely in their pockets as do Demo-
rats and Popnlistf, and it is incumbent
upon all to dismount their rough riders
and secure relief fiom them
The Republican leaders aud managers
have not the remote intention of dis
turbing tho trusts in their rapacious
raids on the people at large. Promises
on the snbj.ct are abundant enough,
bat what about tie performance? At
the next session of Congress nothing
will be done. Tin plea will then be
made that the tin e is too short to dis
ing less than three months
After the dispensary light in Wilkes
county comes the news of the organiza
tion of an "Anti-Blind Tiger Club. Suc
cess to the new club.
The Macon News says Mr. Peek lost
his temper in the discussion with Gh&n-
oellor Hill Thursday He evidently lost
bis head before he entered the discus
lion.
The man who thinks Athens is going to
the eternal bow wows should take a book

brothers get the crooks straight. If there
are any.
An exohange says Sledd did the proper

The Atlanta Journal calls on the sen
ator from the Atlanta district to op
pose any change in the law touching
the elegibility of two of the candidates
for Mayor in Atlanta. Think of Clark
Howell opposing his father, Capt. Dvan
Howell, in any such manner.

If Athens had a good, live commercial
organization a good deal might be ac
complished in the way of getting better
railroad schedules on all lineB entering
Athens, and in getting a large number
of other things that are needed to make
Athens the city it should be, As long
as we pat this matter oil we are stand
ing in onr own light.
After that
will oome the Presidential year, when
the tariff baionB will pay ontmillions to
be let alone. Tariff reform is an irides
cent dream and will r« main one nntil
t lie Republican party is driven from
power. Conquering the markets of the
world is maguificert from the tariff po
tentates point of vit w, but to make him
give up his iron grio on the conquered
home market is iniiaitly more interest
ing now to the millions of plundered
farmers aud other consumers of the
whole country. The one way to win
that victory is by Fusion ! fusion of
Democrats, Populists, Republicans ; fu
sion of the robbed against the robbers.
Trust-made goods are now sold cheaper
in the Philippines, China, Japan, Eng
land, Ru6Bia and Germany than they
are sold within a mile of the factories
where they are made. The facts and
figures to prove it are easily obtainable.
It is the greatest robbery of the few
for the benefit of the many on record.

MONDAY THE LAST DAY.
Thomas W. Lawson’s book, "The
Laweon History of the American Cup,"
is dedicated as follows: "To sports
men—manly men, men of gentle mind
and simple heart, brave men, fair men :
to men who say to the weak, May
and to the strong, ‘I willto men
whom sham is dishonor and troth a
guiding star; to men who look npon the
sea, the plain, the foreet, the mountains,
the rising and setting sun and the im
mutable heavens, with a deep sense of
their own littleness in the great soheme
of things, I dedicate this book.”
An evidenoe that "Lo the poor In
dtan" is at last becoming olvilized
now before ns. The first case on record
where a full-blooded Indian has peti
tioned for a divorce has oocurred m the
federal court at Pawnee, when Spah
Pah-Bear asked for a legal separation
from his wife, Mad Bear. He charged
her with infidelity, abandonment and
with gross negleot of her household du
ties. The plaintiff is very old and al-
most blind and was aooompanied by
several sons and daughters. The wife
did not appear in oonrt.

Thr Banner's dot contest will close Monday.
A few more days and then Th" Banner’s dots will cease to he a mat
ter of public interest. Th'-contest has been wonderfully interesting
from start to finish and a large number of new subscribers have been
added by this means.
For the next few days is ottered the last chance for those who wish
to submit guesses on the famous puzzle. All subscribers who wish to
take advantage of tho opportunity to be compensated for paying
their subscriptions, or all parties wishing to subscribe to The Banner
and have a chance at the $50.00 in prizes ottered, will have to hurry.
The sooner the answers ai" all in the sooner the work of counting
them over will be finished ani fch e sooner the eighteen prizes will be
announced.
That interest in the puzzle has not been confined to Athens has been
shown by the answers received during tho present week. The news of
the dots has spread to outside places, and answers have been received
from many other towns and cities throughout the state. This place,
of course, has justified the popularity of the puzzle, and responded
with increasing interest each day. With the close of the contest,
there is a great rush on the part of the people who have been care
fully studying out their solutions and making repeated trials to in
sure more possibility of success.
It is rather amusing to see the wide difference in the answers that
are now coming into The Banner oiiico. Somebody is guessing, and
the answers indicate that a good many somebodyB are gussing.
Remember, the contest closes Monday. Count the dots aud send
in your answer with subscription money
