' information direct from Scooba at noon says that everything is quiet there. Six persons have met their death in the riots—four ne groes and two whites. The four military companies are still on duty, but no further serious trouble is anticipated. As quiet apparently had been restored yesterday the troops were withdrawn, but three hours afterward five negroes who, it is alleged', had taken no part in the former troubles were massacred, quickly followed by au uprising among the negroes of the popula tion. and resulting in the death of two men, the serious wounding of another and the killing of four more negroes.. ■Sewn of the outbreak was wired:to (lie coventor*! oltlce and the chief ex- wntlve Immediately ordered Colonel Samuel McCanta, of the Bedond regi ment; to return to Wahalak, wMh'a de. tiuhmerit of soldiers from the two Me ridian companies.

Troopa art now guarding tha town. A body of negroaa, said to bt armed, art fortifisd about two milaa from tha town.” little later word came over the long distance telephone that posses «err- forming with a view to storming die negro stronghold In the woods. The negroes Imd sent In a warning that they would burn the town If another ' / I heir race was killed.

This Is the second, of the four freight steamers to (e put In service, by this system between New York, Brunswick anil Havana. The ppssengcr steamer Brunswick Is fast nearing completion and all hands are at work to get things in shipshape for its maiden trip to Brunswick Jan uary 5, next. This stenmer will carry freight and passengers between Bruns wick and Havana. The officials of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic sys tem have many Improvements under consideration and will put them Into effect when the steamer service has been fairly well estkbilsned. MANY OFFICIALS HAVE FAILED TO FILE BONDS WITH OFFICIAL With only live days more in which to comply with legal regulations, only about half of the tax receivers and tax collectors of the' state have complied with-. flip law requiring them to file bonds with the comptroller general. Under the law the tax collectors and tax receivers elected for 1907 .and 1908 are allowed only until January 1 In which to tile the bond with the comp troller. It Is astonishing how negli gent a large percentage of these offi cials are about so Important a mat ter. Those who fail to comply with the regulation by January 1 will have no authority to discharge the duties of their offices, and to attempt to do so before having made the bond Is a mis demeanor. It Is also within the prov ince of the governor to declare vacated such offices. Every mall Is bringing In the bonds, ond the comptroller Is hopeful that all newly elected officials will havs their papers hers by next Monday evening. HOLIDAY EXCURSIONS VIA GEORGIA RAIL ROAD. ENTERED BT THIEVES CracksmcnErightenedAwaj Before They Can Blast the Vault. New York, Deo. 26.—Every policeman aud detective lu Greater New York was search lug today for a trace of three expert bank burglars who Just missed robbing the vault of a downtown savings bank. The Institution which so narrowly escaped robbery Is said to be operated In Chambers street, and one which does not employ a night watchman. The funds, which the burglars failed to get, are declared to have run into the hun dreds of thousands. They had tiled hole* In the door of the vault and had filled some of them with powder when they were fright ened away. It Is known thnt the three cracksmen gained entrance to the bank late on Mon day night. It Is said also that they bad been released on that very day In a police court, after arrest by Inspector McLaugh lin's men on suspicion. The police, how- , could bring nothing agalust them, and they were allowed to go. I AT THE THEATERS Princaton Glee Club. The Princeton Glee Club cornea to the Grand for one concert on Wednes day night, and all society is going to turn out to welcome the boys from the Southerner's favorite college. There are forty-seven of the boys— singers, mandolin and banjo players— and all that makes a college glee. The Princeton “Step Song," dear to the heart of every son of the old ’var sity, will open the program, and lylll be followed by a selection of varied numbers. Manafield in “Petr Gynt.” Probably no production of Mr. Mans field’s In recent years, certainly none since his “Cyrano," has attracted so much attention as his marvelous Inter pretation of Ibsen’s “Peer Oynt," with the Grieg music to lend its charm. Mr. Mansfield appears at the Grand Thurs day night for one performance only and the house will be filled to capacity.

SERVIAN POLICE ATTACK STUDENTS Belgrade, Servla.’ Dec. 26.—The bill authorizing a loan has led to angry public feeling, which not only threat ens a ministerial crisis, but points to the consummation of the long predicted antl-dynastlc outbreak. There was a noisy demonstration on Sunday outside of the king's palace. Cheers were repeatedly given for u — public. The police charged words Baldwin-Melville Stock Company. 'Sherlock Holmes," which Is being played by the Baldwln-Melvllle Stock Company at the El Dorado, Is proving to be one of the best plays ever pro duced at this popular theater. The people of the company are well suited to their roles and the play moves with dash and spirit from the rise to the fall of the curtain. As Sherlock Holmes It would bo hard to find a better than Mr. Arthur Maitland, the new lending man from the Forepaugh Stock Com- >any, of Philadelphia. Ho has made a rlt with Atlanta'audiences and h)s popularity Is bound to grow stronger ns they see more of his work. Beginning Thursday night, the Bald- Win-Melvllle Stock Company will give one of their greatest scenic plays, "The Two Orphans" This play hns been produced thousands of times before au diences all over the world. In this country It was made famous by Kate Claxton. who charmed thousands of people night after night with It. "The ■ Two Orphans" will be given Thursday, Friday nnd Saturday nights, with matinees Friday and Saturday. “The Lion and the Mouse.” The Western tour of Henry B. Har ris' special company In "The Lion and the Mouse" has proved the most suc cessful recorded 1 In recent years. The fame of Mr, Klein's play has preceded It nil over the country, and It has been played to actual capacity everywhere. December 3 marked the commence ment of the Southern tour of the play and It Is proving fully as big a succsss as In the East and West. 'The Lion and the Mouse" is an nounced to appear next Monday and Tuesday, and New Year's matinee, at the Grand. It Is safe to say that this will be one of the most welcome of ferings of the season at the Grand and the three performances will certainly draw large audiences. The sale of seats will begin Friday morning. A Wee Bit of a Girl. A wee bit of a girl, n charming little soubrette, heretofore unknown In At lanta, Is the strongest Individual draw ing card of the "Ale, Him and I” pr>- ductlnn at the Bijou, and this fact has been demonstrated at three perform ances, by repeated encores of her ef forts and Iter receptions at every ap pearance.
