THE CAPTURE.
From the Macon Telegraph:
Rumor reached Macon several days
ago to the effect that Andrew Bundrick
was in Crawford county. The story
of his having been seen there was'
from such a source that it could not
be doubted, and the arresting party
left here Sunday night. They reached
Roberta and before day they went out
and surrounded the bam which had
been described to them. Just before
day they saw a man go out from Mr.
Worsham’s residence and feed the cows
and then go back into the house. After
awhile they saw Mrs. Worsham go out
to the barn, carrying. dishes in her
hand. They saw her go in, and in
about the time required for eating
breakfast she returned. The arresting
party then went to her and told her
that they wanted the key* to the barn,
saying that they were determined to
have, Bundrick and the less fuss made
about It the better. They were given
the keys and went into the barn. They
called out several times and told Bun
drick to come out of the loft. He
made wo reply. Finally they told him
that if he did not come out they would
bum-him out. They stuek a lighted
match to some fodder, and as the
smoke and flames entered the loft and
began to stifle him, Bundrick an
nounced that he-would come out.
Merobu University, Oct. 13,1902.
Mr. Sidney Hateher will not repre
sent Mercer in the next Oratorical con
test. It will be remembered that Mr.
Hatcher was our representative last
year and lost first place to Mr. Grant
ofDahlonega. Having confidence in
Mr, Hatcher’s ability, th ■ faculty and
students unanimously re-elected him
lost spring to represent the institution
at the next contest, but since that time
circumstances have arisen which pre
vent Mr. Hateher from serving, and a
few days ago Dr. Pollock received his
resignation. '
It will be necessary to select a new
representative, and steps, are being
taken to arrange a local contest. It is
not certain who will be successful, but
many prediet that Mr. M. L. Keith of
the senior class will be the man
Whatever may be the outcome of the
local contest, there is a general feeling
of confidence of victory in Atlanta next
spring.
Among the delegates to the Farmers
Congress held here last week, were
some of the ablest men In America, and
it'wM the privilege o( the students to
hear some of these meq speak. On
Wednesday morning Prof. T. J. Woof-
ter, ones a professor of Mathematics at
Mercer, delivered an addrese to the
stndehts on “An Inter-Oceanic Canal.’’
He discussed the question from an
economic point of view, and showed
the benefit suoh a canal would prove to
the agricultural Interest of the United
States, and especially to the south.
Friday morning at Chapel, Mr. Alex
ander Smith, of Nevr York, spoke on
the ship-subsidy. Mr. Smith ts
authority on^£hii question, snd is one
of its original promoters, consequently
what he said was received with a great
deal of confidence.
The students are looking forward to
the leeture of Hon. Thomas E. Watson
which will be delivered at the Academy
of Music next Wednesday evening. Mr.
.Watson received his college training at
Mercer, and of course his career is
source of satisfaction and pride to the
faculty and students of the institution
The balcony will be reserved exclus
ively for the Wesleyan girls and Mercer
boys. This feature ofthe lecture alone
would be a drawing card to the boys.
The attendance this year is about
fifty shorter than the attendance last
year. Mercer draws largely on north
ern Georgia for her students, und in
that section crops are practically fail
ures, which accounts for this shortage.
The advantages Mercer offers to boys
of limited means induce numbers of
farmer boys to provide themselves with
college training, so the attendance
very sensitive to. and easily affectSd by
fluctuations in crops and prices.

PROF. JOE MUNDAY
LECTURED TWICE
Sunday Afternoon to Men Only and
Monday Evening He Lectured on
“The Baby at Home.,,
Prof. Joe Munday delivered a
lecture at Heard’s Opera House on
Sunday afternoon to men only and
it was said by those present that it
was the best one ever delivered on
that line in this city.
Monday evening he delivered a
lecture entitled “The Baby at
Home.” There was a very heavy
house present, composed ot the very
best element of the * city and tho
lecture was delivered to a very
appreciative apd intelligent audi
ence.
Prof. Munday certaiuly deserves
the favorable comments of the press
that has been fully bestowed upon
him, and he has few superiors
engaged in t'le lecture field. He
treated the subject of the care and
proper government of the infant
child very thoroughly and drew
many pathetic pictures as well as
humorous ones. He fairly convulsed
his audience with laughter several
times, but more especially with hia
negro dialect.
Prof. Munday makes some rather
startling statements in regard to
cigarettes that he says are true and
moreover, he stands ready to prove
them, and that the cigarette habit
has ruined and brought more yoUng
men to an untimely grave than hat
ever been done by drink. He also
did not “slight” our young ladies
in regard to “chawing” gum, and
gpve many humorous chewing gum
•ketches that were well received
by all.
MR. FELDER GETS HIS HAND CUT

it thereby, being larcerated in a
terrible manner. Dr. W B Watts,

in the operation.
Mr. Morgan’s gin is located on
