Throughout the commencement the workshop of this school was open for the inspection of all interested in tnis depart ment. This school was opened in connec tion with the college in October, 1864. By gifts from friends interested in industral education, north and south, its facilities for practice and instruction have rapidly increased until at present it represents in buildings and appliances an investment of $10,000. So for this department lias met with the most gratifying success. The workshop is conducted as a regu lar manufacturing establishment. Work is done under the idea that it goes into the market with other productions of skilled labor, and must stand or fall by its excellence and merit. Contracts are taken for all classes of wood and iron work.

Our reports from both Harris and Meri wether counties are rather meagre, but show that Grimes has carried Harris, while Meriwether is given to Harris. Telegrams from Harris county say that Crenshaw, the revenue officer for this dis trict, and some of bis deputies canvassed the county actively for Harris and used every means to secure his election in the primary. It was understood by Grimes' friends that Harris was not a candidate and they paid but little attention to the e'ection, hence Harris’ friends were out in force and came near carrying the county. As the situation now stands Grimes will carry the county by a small majority. Harris < riant}. special to Enquirer-Sun. Hamilton, Ga., June 26.— In the pri- j mary election held in this county to-day ; Gordon and Grimes have no doubt carried the day. The following precincts have , been heard from: Gordon. Bacon.

Gordon carries the county beyond all doubt, but it will be close between Grimes and Harris. | FROM t'HIPI.EV. Chipley, June 26. -The indications are that Gordon ami Grimes have carried this county. Ten districts heard from give Grimes a majority of 51 votes, and the ether districts will increase this majority. Davidson's district gave Grimes a majority but we did not learn the vote. Tlie other three districts will give him a majority. Marl wet lit r Comity. Special to Enquirer-Sun. Greenville, Ga., June 26.—Glorious for the gallant Gordon in Meriwether.

Judge Davis’ I physicians say the immediate cause of death was erysipelas, the outcome of a : malignant carbuncle which first appeared i April 30. but that diabetes, which must have been insidiously working for years, was the ’ primary cause.
