mer treasurer, certifies that from June,
1880, to June, 1892, there were received by
gift in ea<-h for endowment and building
purposes, $19,416 90. Col. E. D. Huguenin,
present treasurer, states, in the report of
the prudential committee, that he has re
ceived since June, 1892, by gift in cash for
the same purposes, $8,635; total cash,
$28,051 U 6. His report also shows that thero
are lu Mb hands In the form of notes, sub
scriptions, bequests, etc.. $54,228, making a

Thomasville I'ime.i-Enterprise: A paper,
dusty and faded from many years associa
tion with some pigeon-hole, turned up in the
county court yesterday. It wa>> a true bill
found by the grand jury at the Juue term
of superior court, 1809, against Zaohariah
Carroll. The charge was assault and bat
tery. Lacy Adams Is put down as prose
cutor. His daughter Lucy was the victim
of Zachartab's wrath. The bill is signed by
eighteen jurors, six of whom, including the
foreman, M. C. Smith, have since
been relieved from jury duty by
death’s summons. The solicitor of a quarter
of a century ago was W. B. Bennett, now
judge of the Brooks oounty court. The in
dictment has never been disposed of and un
like similar old cases there is no entry of
death out of the state, etc., and so recently
this musty old paper was recovered from its
resting place and handed down to Judge
Alexander's conrt for disposal. Zacharian
may yet, if he, too, is not numbered
among the silent majority, be tried ou the
onarge of long ago.
According to the way things are showing

great quantity of fertilizers used by the

during the season of 1876-’7, 75.824.00 tons;
during the season of 1877-’B, 93,178.00 tons;
during the season 1878-’9 , 85,049.00 tons;

Maoon Telegraph: Two gentlemen com
ing in from tho c >untry out in Warrior dis
trict reported w hat may well be called a
hairbreadth escape from a horrible death.
They said that out about six miles from the
city, on the Columbus road, they passed a
farmer with a 2-mule team who, had it not
been for his forethought und calmness iu a
very critical moment, would have been
fouud crushed beneath a 500-pound bale of
ootton, instead of the seemingly uncon
cerned loser of a good wagon and new set
of harness, besides having his best .Sunday
clothes ruined. The farmer was driving to
town with a load of cotton, and Just at a
point iu the road where navigation is diffi
cult for a less burdened vehicle tbe mules
became frighteued and dashed down a steep
hill with their ponderous drag. The farmer,
seeing that the cotton was about to fall with
him, leaped to tbe ground and barely
esoaped the top halo as it fell. Tbe wagon
aud harness were completely demolished
and every tire on one of the bales of cotton
w-as broken, scattering the lint in every
direction.
The failure of Lazarus & Cos. of Macon
hes given rise to a legal tangle. Joe Fried
represents Clafllu & Cos., Triest & Cos. and
tiuckeuheimer & Cos., all New York cred
itors, and they have asked for the appoint
ment of a receiver to secure their money.
The exact amount of these debts Is not
known, but it is several thousand dollars.
W hen Lazarus & Cos. and Lazarus & Bro.
ware closed by the sheriff on Dec. 20 it was
on mortgages held by the following parties:
Jacob Lazarus $8740 69, H. Newman $750,
Dessau & Bartlett SI,OOO, Alex E. Harris
$ 1,00(1, v. . Cohen $530 H O, Big Lazarus
$ 1,1)90, Mrs. Eva Harriss2,Bl9 43, Exchange
Bank $1,744 95. The total amouut of tbe
mortgage was about $12,009, and the cred
itors claim that the assets will not exceed
$15,000. Sheriff W’estcott has begun taking
stock but is not yet able to give an idea as
to w hat it will foot up. The other debts of
the firm outside of the mortgages will proba
bly amount to oyer SIO,OOO. The creditors
who Mr. Fried represents object to the
numerous mortgages given to relatives and
will urge that the creditors from whom
they bought goods should have ashowiug.
Dr. 11. A. Nu tin ally left Macon Friday for
Memphis, Tenn., where he will in the fut
ure reside. A bit of iusubordinatlon, the
result of which js yet unknown, oocurred
at the college in the morning. In the early
part of tho morning Dr. Nunnally, tbe for
mer president, bid the college boys “good
by” to depart for Memphis They were all
assembled in the college and tho occasion
was a very affectiug one. Wheu this in
cident was over Dr. Nunnally left the col
lege to prepare for departure at 10:30 o’clock
via the East Te nesea aud tbe students re
paired to their various class rooms to begin
the studies of the day. The freshman class
applied for leave of absence to go to the
train and were refused. They would not
take the refusal, nowever, abd when nearly
train time they bolted tha etas* room aud
left for the station. At the train the boys
cave a cheer for their former president, and
again at the Hotel Lanier they cheered the
retiring president. After this they returned
to the college to resume their studies and
lessons. The iit of insubordination may
not end here, but may cause the students
some iittie trouble. The faculty hat not
yet taken action in the matter.

New York, Jan. It—Trading In stooks during
the short session to-day was more active even
than yesterday, and total sales of nearly 380,000
•hares in two hours have certainly not been
equaled in years The market also broadened
materially and commission houses report re
ceiving more orders from outsiders In railroad
shares. Trading, however, was still for the
most part of a professional and local nature,
though London was buyer to some extent, aud
a- filings in Distillers were attributed princi
pally to liquidation by the western poo) The
features or the day were Distil ers and Man
hattan, and both were under a cloud. The
prices of most of the list moved over a narrow
range, notwithstanding the activity But few
exceptions were noted, especially Con
solidated Gas, Louisville, New Albany
and Chicago, and Manhattan. Con
solidated Gas rose 1 per cent, and dropped
i\4, but its final gain was % per cent. Manhat
tan declined from 174 to 169, but closed 19$ per
cent, higher, with a loss of 3ss per cent. Activ
ity in New England, Reading, Western Union
and the grangers resulted iu all casus in only
fractional changes, declines being in the major
ity. The market closed active and firm at the
rally. Bales of stook, 379.000 shares.

Chicago, Jan. 14.- Wheat jumped up over lc
to-day. Tbe last half hour in the pit was ex
cited. The clique pressure on the selling side
was entirely removed and the price went soar
log. Longs who sold early were getting back
wheat, and small shorts were covering. The
rumor one minute was that Card ridge was cov
ering and another that he was selling
stocks to enable him to margin more
heavily on his big short line of wheat.
Crop disi atches were somewhat startling, due
to tbeextreme weather iu many sections of the
wbeat belt. This on top of higher cables gave
the marxet great force. Corn, oats and provis -
ions all closed high, but compared with wheat
their gain was slight. Wheat opened ijgo
higher, but weakened about then ruled
stronger and advanced l)$o, ruled firm and the
close was within >4c of the op -ning.

Tricks With Words.
Cunning in the use of language to give falst
impressions is a yankea trick celebrated in song
and story, says the lajwlston Jiurral. Many
instances of its use come to light in tbe testj*
mony given in courts An illustration of such
dishonest craftluess is related by a .Maine gentle
man. A man oame to him wanting him to buy
a share in a country lottery, in wbiculbeprincj
pal prize was a horse "I’H take o.ia" he said,
“it you’ll warrant me I shall draw the horse.
•‘O, yes," said the aeller glibly, pocketiog ths
cash, “I’ll want you to get the horse." The
horse went In another direction, and the ticket
holder, meeting the sellar, said jokingly: "I
thought you warranted me to drew that bores.
"O, no." said the otuer ehrawdlp.‘T 4*6 ao *
say warrant, out want. I said 1 wanted you to
get tbe horse, and I did."
