FRIDAY NIGHT-
AN EVE S ING CF PLEASURE.
The Finest Musical Talent in Athene
Unites to Render the Entertain
ment the Most Successful Ever
Given In the Classic City.
It was certainly a musical feast.
And the largo aucience at the Opera
House attested that fact by the generous
and hearty applause given after the ren
dition of eacn piece upon the pro-
gr Theconcert was rendered by the Uni
versity Glee Club, assisted by Miss
Wheeler, soprano; Mrs. J. P. Campbell,
mezzo soprano; Miss Hattie Morris,
pianist, and the Orchest al Club.
Never has a group of more talented
musicians or an aggregation of more
exquisite voices couie together upon the
opera bouse stage in this city.
The very finest talent in the Classio
City was there to lend its aid towards
making the entertaiument one of the
ino.-t successful ever given in Athens,
and the large and select audience that
greeted them was highly pleased.
The house was weil tilled when the
curtain ro-e. The S. A. E. theatre
party presented a striking appearance,
the beauty and chivalry of the city
were there; the Lucy Cobb and Home
School young ladies, and a large num
ber of citizens and students.
l'he Glee Club brought down the
li use by the rendition of the “Glee
C ah’s tala of woo,” which was chanted
in doleful voices as follows:
I. Verily, the turn ful and melodious
Gloe C:uu—that Iklougeth with *hc

III. They rose up early in the morn
ing—and took unto themselves a pri
vate car and went firth ou a tour if
glorious contest. Ami the gates of tb<
city of Atlanta were opened unto them
and likewise the Dixie Club.
IV. They tuued their festive lay at
the opera house, before a large and tu
multuous assemblage. But their exer
cises were rewarded by receiving even
one encore.
V. Ami they hied them to tbeir pri

The concert was closed by a song “To

The young gentlemen composing tb«
club have every reason to feel proud of
tbs success of the concert, and tbe local
islent added much to the pleasures of
tlie occasion.
These Glee Club entertainments are
always interesting and enjoyable.
It may be possible for Athens to se
cure the repair shops of the C., C. & N.
road. Athens is pre-eminently the
place for them, and if proper efforts are
made, she may secure them.
Mr. Charlie O’Fgrrell made a most
liberal offer toward securing the shops
for Athens. He proposes that if the
management of the Georgia, Carolina
& Northern will locate the shops in
Athens, to donate to the company
twenty acres of land. Tbe lands lie
within five hundred yards of the G., C.
& N. depot, and are conveniently sit
uated.
This is a most liberal offer and will
doubtless receive consideration from
the railroad authorities.
Let others follow tbe commendable
example of Mr. O’Farrell, and make
otters to the G., C. & N. to locate their
shops here.
The benefits to be derived are incal
culable, and would bring thousands of
dollars to our city. For the "hops would
employ numbers of mechanics, and their
earnings would be spent with the Ath
ens merchants.
Let everybody take hold and assist
in securing the shops. The Ledger
suggests that a mass meeting be called.
Tnis is a very good suggestion. Let the
meeting be called at once.
Let decisive action be taken at
that meetingso that the railroad will
know that Athens meanB business.
If Athens will make a business like
proposition to the G.,C. & N. in legard
to tbe location of the shops, their prop
osition would doubtless be considered,
and the shops located here.
Athenians, you cannot afford to let
this opportunity pass unnoticed.

VANISHING OF A CONTINENT.
A Real Atlantis. About Which the Ge
ologists Tell stories.
“Atlantis—the suppositious continent
in the midst of the Atlantic x-ean, of
which so many remarkable stories are
told—is undcnbtedly a myth, but it is
ntirely certain that there was a real
Atlantis,” said Professor Magee of the
geological surrey to a writer for tbe
Washington Star.
During that ancient epoch which we
call the paleozoic, nobody knows how
many million of years ego, there was a
great and lofty continent in the middle
,t what is now known as the North At
lantic ocean. It was about 1,000 mtlee
l ng from north to south, and nobody
knows how wide it was. All we can
tell is that its mountains were very high
and that on its western slope it had
long and 1 irge rivers. It was a mighty
laud mass, aud we have reason for be
ing sure that it endured for ages before,
at the close of the p leozoie, it had sunk
to the level of the sea. Subsequently,
through further sinking, it became a
part of what is now tbe level plain of the
Allan lie.
“How do we know all this, you ask?
By the traces of its former existence
which the geological Atlantic bad left
behind in the shape of sediments depos
ited by its rivers Where are these sed
iments found? Well, the Appalachian
mountains are entirely composed of
them. In that distant age of w'hich we
are speaking the Eastern part of tbe
United States had not yet been uplifted
above the ocean. W hen t is portion of
tbe continent did emerge from the sea
;he sediments I have spoken of came up
with it, forming the Appalachian range
tmongother features of what is now
the land. We know that the rivers of
the vanished continent mast have been
long and large, because no small
streams could have transported such
sediment.
“You may well imagine bow inter
esting it must be to tbe geologist to ex
plore, hammer in hand, the Apalacbian
hills for fossil forms of life which ex
isted upon this ancitnt and mysterious
land mass so many thousands of centu
ries ago. Of the climate cf the geologi
cal Atlantic this much may be
said: It was very warm
and moist, the air probably so
laden with carbonic acid gas, mammals,
bad there been any, could hardly have
breathed it with comfort. Mrlaria an !
other miasmatic diseases were afloat in
the atmosphere. Conditions were more
unfavorable for human life than they
are now in that dredful region known
as tbe Della of tbe Ganges where Euro
peans are unable to survive.
“The laud of the vanished continent
was covered with rank and gigantic
growths, notably with huge pines and
giant mosses—the coal plants destined to
furnish fuel eventually to mankind
These plants grow more luxuriantly near
the sea. It was a great time for insects,
especially cockroaches. The paleozoics
you will remember, is called the age of
cockroaches, because of the enormous
numbers of them found in fossil shape
in the strata laid down daring the ep
och. Ages were yet to pass by before
mammals could appear upon the scene.
In the seas around about the continent
gigantic sharks and armored fishes dis-
pr rted themselves, together with ma
rine reptiles, great and small. Tbe time
whicb has elapsed since then is so vast
that science does not attempt to make
any estimate respecting its duration.
So many millions of years have gone by
since tbe r «al Atlantis sank out of sight
beneath the ocean that the period in an
eternity compare with the brief span of
a single human life.”
Very respectfully,
O. E Mitchell.

We fear the Third party leaders are
like the good eld brother who wore an
old pair of leggings to church. While
they were hanging up in the garret the
wasps found them and built a nest in
them concealed from the old gentle
men’s view. He put them on and went
to the church and daring the services
these “holy terrors” began to give him
gentle pointers notifying him of their
whereabouts. The points he received
forced him to exclaim: “I’ve got the

Atlanta, May 11.—The Baptists have
closed the labors of the last day and
reached a final adjournment.
The last hours were devoted to the
hearing of reports from the various
committeos.
Tne report of the committee on Wo
man’s work was read and considerable
discussion was created when that part
was reached which referred to women
in the pulpit.
Dr. J. C. Hedeu of Alabama, read the
report on missions in papal fields, which
suggested that the work now going on
in Italy and Mexico be pushed into
France and Spain. Dr. Heden spoke of
the fitness of the missionaries for their
work and was followed by Dr. W. D.
Powell, the Mexican missionary, who
mads a speech on the work there.
Dr. Lansing Burrows read the report
on pagau fields. More men were asked
for the work in China and Africa. Rev.
J. W. Bennett, missionary to Yokohama,
in the service of the American Mission
Union, made a strong speech on tne
Japan missions. He was followed by
Rev. C. W. Pruitt, missionary from
China, who spoke very briefly. He said
that the Chinese are breaking away
from idols, even those who do not pro
fess religiou.
Dr. Lnnsing Burrows, Dr. Warder,
Dr. Harris, Dr. Cranfill and Dr. Crump-
- -ton were appointed a committee to ar
range a plan for the distribution of
minutes.
Several attempts to pass a resolution
reducing the representation in the con
vention had been cut off by the regular
order of business during the earlier days
of the session, and when the head of
miscellaneous business was reached.
Rev. E. E. Folk, offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, That a committee of five be
appointed who shall take into considers
tfon tbe feasibility of reducing the delega
tions of the convention and report at the
next session of the convention the best
method of doing so, if deemed feasible.
Dr. Carroll accepted this resolntion
as a substitute for his own, aud after
rejecting another substitute the couven-
tion adopted the Folk resolution as
above.
President Haralson announced the
committee as follows: E. E. Folk, J.
L. Carroll, Dr. Dudley, governor Jo

TROUBLE IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
The White* and Blank* in Arms Against
Euch Other.
Columbia, May 11.—The white people
of Berkeley county are up in arms
against the blacks. The lynching of a
negro at Hell Hole swamp has brought
on the trouble. Governor Tillman re
ceived dispatches from Sheriff Morrison
to tbe effect that both races are mar
shaling forces, aud a race-riot is proba
ble. Great fears are entertained here
as to the result. The blacks in Berkeley
county outnumber the whites ten to
one. Governor Tillman is in constant
telegraphic communication with Sheriff
Morrtson ot Berkeley county, in regard
to the affair. He has ordered the mili
tia of Berkeley county to be in readi
ness to march at a moment’s notice to
the t>cene of the disturbance. But as
the militia of Berkeley county are all
colored troops, it is feared they may.
joiu the negro rioters against the whites.
If such is tha consequence, the whole
volunteer service of the state will be
brought into action and hundreds of
lives lost. . .
Tlio Little Innocout Finds a Home.
Knoxville, Teun., May 13.—A well-

Tne woman then disappeared without
leaving any sign of her identity. The
child is a white male about a month old
aud has an abundance of clothing. Mr.
Thomas aud wife having no children,
have decided to keep the stranger. The

intimacy between a well-known travel
ing man from the East and a lady of re
finement aud wealth.

of hope which Daviess county’s dis

should not be pronounced, Lavelle arose
and in a frautic manner declared he
was innoceat. He was then sentenced

The phenomenon attracted the people

but no solution has yet beed offered.
The colored people, who are nulurally

They are nqt the only ones who consider
the phenomenon a foreboding of the

eral conflicting stories about the matter,
but denies all knowledge of her wherea
bouts, or what time of the night she
