vidtors, upon making an exami-
* into the lower classes, thought
there was too much lecturing and
iliitl
account of the purchase of the experi
mental farm at Griffin.
It is recommended by the board that
a portion of the campus be graded for
use in athletic sports and the lower
floor of Philosophical hall be turned
into a gymnasium, as the hoard thinks
the physical development should go
hand in hand with the mental.
The lioard found the rooms and furni
ture in the literary department far infe
rior to those in the scientific department,
where the professors have elegant
rooms and furniture secured with funds
appropriated to thb State by theTeileral
Government through the Hateh bill.
The board deplores the fact that the
professors of the literary department
have reoms into which they w ould be
justly ashamed to invite visitors.
Some of the quarters where teaching
is done are condemned as a disgrace to
the State, and the low salaries paid
some of the professors are deplored.
The board ends its report by appeal
ing for more money for the University.
Chancellor Boggs was seen at the
Kimball house by a reporter and asked
if he had anything to say in regard to
r««lfrine""and recommended what the hoard had said about tl
1 * . i .i, JV mnttai* faculty.
He replied that he was a little sur
prised that the report should have been
given to the public, but he did not
deem it proper to express any opinion
concerning it, further than to say it w as
very thorough document and one that
showed the board to have been alive to
its duties, as everything had been ex
amined into.
h, trustees look into the matter.
J ''I, of .ho report which
' faculty, it is said, was con-
Wy n odified by the board in copy-
llhe report.

i of the faculty who are unable

!,e lack of interest and general in-
tion of students in the class-room,
alio arc to a great extent,unable to

, do not subserve the best interests

present proprietors have renewed this
offer. All the druggists sell this Rem

all other appliances advised to be used

The committee, having in charge the
Centennial Re-union of the University

BUBSTED ENGINE.
Jackson County Sends a Sensation—Sov
oral Men Scalded, Perhaps Fatally.
Mr. J. M. Booth, of Jackson county
was in the eity yesterday, and gave the
particulars of the bursting of an engine
on Thursday, owned by Mr. George
Lavender, and stationed on the road
from Jefferson to Santa Fee. There is
no one who can give any cause for the
bursting of the engine, as there was
only a small head of steam on, and all
at once it was lifted from the earth and
blown fiftv yards, the engine going one
way, and the doors to the engine aud
irons going one hundred yards in an
opposite direction. The report made by
the burstiug was heard for many miles
around, and as the engine went whiz
zing through the woods, it tore down
large tree that it came in contact with
There wee/several of the workmen, who
were standing near, badly scalded, and
one of the men may probably die. Mr
Booth says the destruction around the
engine was terrible, and it is a wonder
that no one was killed.
$40,000 Lost.
“I lost forty thousand dollars by
periodical attack of nervous sick head
ache,” said a Chicago capitalist to a cor
respondent, pointing across the street to
a handsome corner lot. “That lot was
sold for ten thousands dollars at public
auction five years ago, and I intended
to buy it, hut was too sick with head
ache to attend the sale, qnd it is now
worth fifty thousand dollars.” if he had
known of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purga
tive Pellets they would have removed
the cause of his headaches—biliousness
—and he would have made the money
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets
cure sick headache, bilious headache,
dizziness, constipation, indigestion, and
bilious attacks; 25 cents a vial, by drug
gists.
More cases of sick headache, bilious
ness, constipation, can be cured in less
time, with less medicine, and for less
money, by using Carter’s Little Liver
Fj pills, than by any other means.
THE FIREMEN.

the
THE STEAMER CONTEST.
The steamer contest occurred at 11
’clock. The following was the gov-:
erning rules:
The steamer to come to eistern empty
and cold. To be filled with cold water
by the committee up to the first guage.
The fuel to be furnished by the com
mittee, and to lie the same ds fired with
in ease of fire, (either wood or coal.)
Time to be taken from the first appear
ance of smoke from the top of stack,
and the engine to throw water fifty
yards through not less than forty-eight
feet of hose.
Howell Cobb steamer, of Atliens, first
took the stand, Engineer Williford, in
arge. The engine was examined by
ie committee, and pronounced ready
for the contest.
The boiler was filled, and fuel placed
in the fire box ready for starting. Two
torches were placed under the engine,
and in a second a volume of thick smoke
was seen coming out of the top,
“Go,” said acting Judge Platt. The
-engineer and assistant were at every
part of the machine at once. Fans
were used to create a draft, and in three
minutes Engineer "Williford touched
the whistle as a signal.that the water
should be turned on. In a second it
came, and at the expiration of 5 minutes
51 1-5 seconds from the time the fire was
started a bold stream was playing
across the fifty yard mark.
The result called forth loud cheers
as the time was a seepnd earlier than
the Howell Cobb had ever made it be
fore.
The machine was moved off, and the
Queen City, of Gainesville then took
the stand. The Queen City, like the
Howell Cobb, is a first class steamer
and is handsomely finished oft'. The
judges made their examination, and
pronounced her ready to he filled. In
forcing the water in the boiler from
the plug, the steamer was accidentally
flooded, including the fire box. The
engineer of the Queen City stated that
he could not give his engine a fair te
for getting up steam in that condition
and jy* there was no prize for distance
he would withdraw from the contest
Assistant Dorsey asked if they
wanted anything for drying the box
and was told “no,” so the Queen City
withdrew.
The foot race, the most exciting fea
ture of the tournament, then fol
lowed.
THE BRASS BAXBS.
The Wide-Awake hand from Aineri
chs, gave an exhibition of their skill On
the horn l efore they left at 12 o’clock
and after the foot race the other visit
ing bands appeared before the judges
A protest was filed against the Harmo
ny Grove band on account of their
leader being a professional musician,but
this was overruled when the leader de
dared himself a bona-fide member of
the band. The boy band bad the sym
pathy- of the crowd on their side, but
the judges could not give them a prize
A purse was made up on the spot, and
the little fellows went home as happy
as any.
Wide-Awake band, of Americus, cap
tured the prize. This gives Americus
two prizes.
The Hook and Ladder contest was
declared oft', as the members'of Pioneer
Hook and Ladder were too ancient to
make the race.
TnE FOOT RACE.
The interest in the foot race was far
above all the other contests. John
Knox, of Lexington, had the call-on
all the bets made, and he was even
offered against the field with small odds
in his favor.
Gus Nicholson did not give his back
ers any comfort only that he would
“get there Eli,” if his legs would carry
him,
The following were the rules governing
the race:
Man to run one hundred yards in
quickest time.
Three men to be selected by Captain
of each company-.
Any man causing foul play to be
ruled out.
Pulaski, of Hawkinsyille, showed up
with J V P. MeGriff, whose well trimmed
muscles showed him every ineh a man
and one that would get there if possi
ble.
Pioneer No. 5 led out their old favor
ites, Gus Nicholson and Bill Reaves
who have never failed to show up ^when
there was any running to be done.
The old reliable Hope No. 1, trotted
out their best man, and the odds were
in their favor. John Knox, Fred Gann
and Charlie Childers. The hopes of
the company were centered in Knox
for he had never known defeat, and was
confident that he would throw- the dirt
in the other’s eyes.
The judges in the stand all held their
fingers on stop watches, and were de
termined that the race should be given
to the man coming out in front. Bang
w ent the pistol. Here they come, their
le^s and arms w r orking like a 30-horse
pow er engine. Knox makes a slip on
the send off. Gus Nicholson takes the
lead. Knox recovars, hut i3 in the rear
He works nobly and puts forth all of
his * strength, but alas I it is too late to
recover, aud Gus Nicholson crosses the
line in 111-5, withJohu Knox a gt o’
second, while the other runners
close on their, heels. Gus Nicholson
as soon taken on the shoulders of No-
, and a perfect ovation given him. The
friends of Mr, Knox, seeing his mishap
nt the commencement of the roce, of
fered to bet $500 that he could beat the
race in tweety minutes, but the money
was not taken. SIr.i Knox is a runner,
and it is rougn on his backers that he
made a slip on the start. .
Such Is life; the fastest horses some
times bolt the track or stump their toe,
but is is too late after the race is run.
HARMONY GROVE
Besides sending down two good bands
of music the beautiful little town on the
Northeastern sent- down their chief,
Col. Adolphs Little, with his small
band of firemen. Chief Little w’oultl
not enter the contest, as his men had
only practiced with water buckets, and
were not used to running withreels and
working steamers. Chief Little offered
to back his. company for any amount
when water buckets were allow-ed in a
contest.
GRAND JUBILEE.
After the program on the track had
been completed yesterday, the differ
ent compauies gathered at Pioneer Hall
where a general jubilee was indulged
in for a conpie of hours.
The winners were congratulated on
their laurels and all joined in the uni
versal merry making. Champagne
and wine flowed free, add all the boys
were in a gale of pleasure. Numerous
speeches w'ere made and all in the hap
piest strain. It w-as a perfect meeting
and a most suitable finale to the great
firemanlc celebration. From the hall,
the different companies were escorted
to their trains as they were forced to
leave anil many w-ere the pleasant con
gratulations and warm adieus at part-
Each company w as presented with
a keg of beer and a dozen goblets to re
fresh them on their joujney. Capt
Beusse, our veteran fireman, says the
meeting at the hall was the pleasantest
occasion he ever witnessed and is de
lighted With the way the boys acquitted
themselves. He says they have hail
fun enough for two years.
GOOD BYE.
The Athens firemen disliked very
much for the Americus firemen to
leave before the contest w-as over,
The Wide-Awake is a splendid com
pany, 'anC have a fine band.. We hope
to see them again in the near future
especially the young ladies who came
with the firemen. The hearts of seve
ral of the Athens firemen have been
captured, and if the C. & M. will give
cheap rates they will be seen in Ameri
cus soon.
A Baseball Man Has a Victory.
Ralph Staples, first baseman for the
Greenstockings, and Maude Keen,a din
ing room girl at the Reynolds House
bought a twentieth ticket in the Louisi
ana State Lottery in partnership, and at
last Tuesday’s drawing got $15,000, or
$7,500 each.—South Ben (Ind.) Weekly
Times, April 19.
Never Contented.
There are people who are never con
tented with their surroundings, clouds
amt darkness appear before them wheth
er it rains or shines. Skiff the Jeweler
recommends for such, a pair of his dia
mond spectacles or in extreme cases a
pair of the marked glasses.
GOOD TEMPLARS’ PICNIC,
Clarke, Oconee and Morgan Counties

TOM WOOLFOLK.
The Alleged Wholesale Murderer May be
Tried In Bibb County Tet.
Macon, Ga., May 18.—A Telegraph
man was talking to a gentleman yester
day, who is usually well informed on
such topics, and he expressed the opin
ion that Tom Woolfolk would probably
he tried in this county, in spite of the
change of venue to Houston county.
“You know,” said the gentleman,
that the trial is now conditionally set
for June 5th. It has already been post
poned once, and it may be
again, which would not be sur
prising, it would then have to go over
until the October term.
Well, there-is an undercurrent of im
patience about the whole matter that
suggests the propriety of getting over
with it some way or another as quietly
as possible. Now, the jury-box of
Bibb county will be revised in August,
and a great many more names will be
added to the list. When this is done
there will be no trouble to get a jury.
There are nine indictments against
Tom, and what-is to prevent the State
from taking up one of the eight on
which he has never been arrainged and
bringing him to trial before the new
array of jurors?” .
The reporter was not lawyer enough
to answer the question, and the gentle
man said that he could see nothing in
the'way of carrying out such a pro
gram.
