The Cadets Drill.
Quite a large number of ladies and
gentlemen gathered on the South
Georgia ('allege campus yesterday
afternoon to witness the competitive
drill of the cadets. The time before
the. drill was pleasantly passed by
many in going through the splendid
chapel and examining the pretty
stage decorations. At .”> o’clock,
sharp, the ratat tatat, tatat, of the
drum called the hoys into line. They
were taken in hand by Capt. Miller
and marched to the open space on
the west front ot the eoliege building,
and put through a number of march
ing evolutions. Their movements
were very tine and elicited many fa
vorable comments.
Finally the company was put in
front of the crowd, when ( apt. Ilan-
sell, Lieut. Jcrgcr and Orderly Smith,
of the Guards, stepped out and took
their places as judges. And then the
manual contest began. Sharp and
quick were Capt. Miller’s commands.
Out they drop on errors, until only six
are leff. Then the judges announced
that they had decided that the medal
should go to one of the six

A Fatal Accident.
Bessie, the two year old daughter
ol Mr. and Mrs. Win. Findley at
Clinch Haven was run over yesterday
by train No. 7 The little tot started
to walk across the track when the fast
mail train coming at fall speed was I mercy of other roads not part irilarly
only a few yards off. The engineer I friendly. 11 these other roads s liould
and fireman were horror stuck, Imt I decide to lutild into the I’laut tca rito
Took The Bonds.
It lias been a matter of surprise for
several weeks that the through sched
ules over tho Alabama Midland were
not put on.
The reason has just leaked out.
It seems that the Riant system wish
ed very much to control the road, and
finding some difficulty in doing this,
it made an effort to keep the Midland
from floating its bonds in tho mar
kets, which It was necessary to do in
order to raise money to pay Brown &
( n„ the contractors that had built the
road.
The negotiations were pending for
some weeks, and the hitch in the bonds
transaction caused considerable trou
ble. In the meantime the Central
system of < ieorgia made an earnest ef
fort to get the Midland, but its officers
preferred to keep dear of entangling
aliianccs, ami preferred at the same
time not to sell out their line. The
difficulty was finally solved by Brown
and Co., the contractors, they ng.cu
ing to take the bonds in payment of
their claim.
There is more in this than appears
at first sight. TI11 l’lant system would
like to control tho Midland, because
when completed to its destination be
yond Montgomery, and that destina
tion would he at some point that i
would give the Riant mads a choice of
outlets to the west, it will he the short
est route from tho extreme west to
Florida.
The Central system would like to
own it, forthe reason that it has tap
ped one of its strongholds.
It is not at all unreasonable to sup
pose that the Louisville & Nashville
people would he pleated to he aldo to
dictate the policy of the Midland, for
the building of a short line from
Bainbridge to some point on the Flor
klu Central and Peninsula system
would open up a new and direct route
into Florida, for the most part over
the own rails of the L. A X, t and the
whole way over lines in entire syntpn
thv with it.
There is another road that would
like to see the Midland kept inde
pendent, or better, perhaps, to see it
pa.-- into the hands of the L. A N.
system, and that road is the Florida
Central A Peninsula. For years it
hits gasped for breath within the nar
row confines of our sister state, and
anything that would give it an out
let, or connection with the outside
world would he hailed with pleasure.
Then again the Plant system must
in a few years at the outside, push its
li-ies to a point or points where it. will
have ahoiec of routes north and west.
As its lines now run, they are cut off
at vital points, or at least are it tho
Police Court News.
There were more spectators than
offenders in the police court yesterday

The republican estimate in Wash

require about otic hundred and seventy

large attendance. The Hussars arc
live fellows, and they will make the
tourney an event that will long be
remembered. The election for a spon

quarters at Valdosta, end he can come

the best, as any other man.

Quitman's Compress.
Quitman, (li, June 12.—At a
special session of the Brooks superior
court, held to day for the purpose of
granting motions, etc., a charter wax
obtained for Quitman’s compress com
pany. I lie compress has been shipped,
the work of erecting the sheds commen

working order for die coming season's
crops.
It is a striking evidence of human
depravity that as soon ns a “falling
stur'or ierolitc strikes this planet it is
liable to become the subject ol conten
tion and litigation. One of the heav

of Iowa and Minnesota, having been
sold by the lessee of tho land, has
become the subject ni a lawsuit to de
cide whether it really belonged to the
lessee or the owner of the land.—
