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.

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.
