The Home School annual concert giv en at the school Thursday eve ning was a success in every particular. Each of the par ticipants did themselves and the school credit. . The Home School concerts have ever been interesting and enjoyable, but last night all former concerts were excelled. A large and appreciative audience was present, and tbe programme as given in yesterday’s Banner was faultlessly earned out. The vocal atd instrumental depart ments of this popular seminary are un der as good teachers as can be found n the South, and Misses Wheeler and Schal’.er may feel proud of their work here and the eucoess of their entertain- met t list evening. Tbe vocal trio by Misses Kell, Doble and Lampkin was very good and re •eived much applause. Perhaps one of the best pieces on tb*- programme was the instrumental sol by Miss Louise DuBoee. She is gifted with a very fine touch and has a grea deal of talentjrad her playing last even- iag was grand. Miss Bertha Rontzthn sang most impressively “The s« cret.” She has : very fine full voice, which she has goc control over and her singing was th. source of muob pleasure. The two instrumental quaterttes bj Misses Georgia and Meta Ste dley, C Lampkin and McDonald were ver; good indeed. Two of the best pieces on the pro gramme was the two vocal quartett composed of Misses Wbreler, Kell, Cra* ford and Routzahn. They have e&cl and all very excellent voices and beinj led by Miss Wheeler, they sang exce.- lently, and receiv d much applause. Misses Julia Wilson and' and L 1 Mandeville, both played excellently Their solos w.re highly enjoyed by al) Miss Williams’ instrumental se lj f« the left band was excellent, as was al the overture from Martha, which wa played by Misled Barnes, Kell, Kmmel and Mandeville.

ATHENS, , Apil 12—wtl GEORGI7 -FOR Assistant State Geologist Whatley Talks. Says the Constitution: Mr. E. T. Whatley, assistant State geologist, was n tbe city yesteiday on business con nected with his department. He has been engaged for some time studying the geological formation of Northeast ern Georgia, and be has a map of foui counties now ready for the printers. Mr. Whatley’s work is going to prov> of incalculable value to the State. Hi nas made discoveries which for tbe firs tine gave owners an idea of the value of their lands. He expects to see re markable developments in some of the mountain counties. Georgia’s gold deposits have never been half understood. Prior to the California craze 3.0G0 men were engag ed in places mining in one or two coun ties in tbe upper part of tbe State. All of them made money, from ten to Most of them went to California, lured by the fabu lous tales of the gold there. Gold min ing in Georgia has been mostly on tbe surface. It is doubtful if there is a three-htmdred-foot shaft in the State. One shaft in a fissure vein Bhowed ore which assayed only $2 a ton a few feet down. This increased to |20 at about 1 JO feet and $40 at 128 feet. Several of these fissure veins have been located within the last few months. One property owner is going right to work to sink a three-hundred-foot shaft in a fissure vein which promises rich ore. Georgia has enough gold bid away in her mountains te pay the nation’s debt. The stamp mills do not get more than 25 per cent, of the gold out of the sulphuret ores. i; "kgu clarke COUNTY.—Ohdiha- I ™ 8 been shown by assays '; * :v « Office. June cth, lgas.—w.

Presid ent Georgia Si ate Normal College An Interaatlnc interview with the Reverend Gentleman. _ ms » ■'i v v* . An interview with tbe Rev.Thaddeus Pickett was held by a Constitution re porter yesterday in Atlanta as follows: One of themost- striking and infeer- estirg figures in Georgia politics was a visitor at the Third party headquar ters. A mountaineer politician to the man- nor born, tall, straight as a reed, with massive shoulders, piercing gray eyes, a steel-gray mustache, a broad forehead and an open face. He would attract attention anywhere. It was Thaddeus ^E. Pickett, tbe North Georgia preacher-politician, wLo has been running for congress for several years, and who is not yet out of wind, although he has never been in sight of the capitol. He’s running yet. He believes he’ll make it this time. He feels extremely hopeful, and thinks things are in mnch better shape than they have ever been before. I think I’ll win,” is the way he put it. But if he don’t it will be all right. He’ll run again. He always does. He’s a hardy mountain colt that never loses wind. He’s made two good races, but in bo(h he was beaten. He talks about the ooming contest just like a fresh entry in politics. Seated in a chair at the Thiid party headquarters yesterday, with one leg thrown over the other, and his arms folded on bis massive chest, this interes ting politician talked interestingly about tbecanvass in the good old Ninth and politics in general. He answers ev ery question with a readiness that indi cates that he has previously thought the matter over,, and was giving his mature judgment upon it. “There’s plenty of us i aiming,” said he, “but I believe I will get the Third party nomination. The man who gets tae Third p«rry nomination is certain t> be elected, no matter who he is. The Democracy is a dead dog In the Ninth. The mountain district* have taken to the Third party almost unanimoa<-ly.” Mr. P.okctt says the Third party can didates besides himself are making a lively canvass. They are Thomas E. Winn and Hon. J. N. Twitty, of Jack son. “I intend to begin next week,” says VIr. Picket, with a twinkle in his pieroing gray eyes, “and makes an ac tive canvass of my district. I think 1 have it practically solid now. I made a itrong race against the organized De mocracy two years aga, when the far- aaeia voted with that pariy. Now they iave gone into tbe Third party, and 1 was first to champion those principles in our section. I am well acquainted throughout the district, and believe my chances a»e tip-top.” Mr. Pickett says be regards Hon. Al len D. Candler as being in the race for the Demooratic nomination. A PROMINENT ATHENIAN To Run for Judge of the Western Circuit. It is given oat that Athens wiU have a candidate in tbe next race for tho julgship of the Western oirenit. Hon. N. L. Hutchins is the present efficient judge and is one of the strong est and best judges on the bench in Georgia, It is not known whether or not he will be a candidate for re-elec tion.

Hill has withdrawn from tbe contest fer Democratic presidential nomination. “His letter of withdrawal was in the bands of his representatives before the meeting of Hill delegates to Chicago held at tbe Hoffman bouse Monday night, and it was in accordance with its terms that a resolution pledging the delegates to urge and vote for his nom ination as long as he will permit his name to be used as a candidate for president was adopted. “It is obvious that the pledge expires the moment the letter is produced.” A Special From Troy. Besides tbe above, which leads the Times’ editorial on the subject, the Times prints this special: “Troy, N. Y., June 9.—There is in existence s letter 8'goed by Senator David B.

THE PRIZE DRILL! CAME OFF FRIDAY AFTER NOON ON THE CAMPUS. THE LUCKY WINNERS, if Tbe Board of Trustees Reviewed tho Battalion—The Officers Appointed For the Next Term. THE LIGHTNING’S WORK. The Baptlet Church Steeple Struck Friday Afternoon. About five o’clock Friday sfter- nooD, a bright flash of lightning, fol lowed instantaneously by heavy thun der startled many people, The steeple of the First Baptist church wasstruok, and a small hole torn in that structure. No farther damage was done to the church, although a small blaze of fire was discovered and extinguished in stantly by the fire department. Just at the time of the stroke some Uttle children were walk ingdown Washington street imm di- ately in front of the church and con siderably shocked. Steve Perry, coL was also slightly shocked, he being on the opposite side of the street. The damages to the steeple efthe church will be repaired at once. THE INJUNCTION CASE POSTPONED Wilt be Heard as Soon as Possible. The water works injunction case has been postponed and will not he heard for several days at least. The cause of the postponement of the hearing cf the case was the sickness of Judge George C. Thomas, one of the plaintiff’s counsel, who is confined to his room and unable to attend at the hearing of the ease. Judge Hutchins took the papers in the case and will carefully examine both sides, and at the earliest oppor tunity will set the case for a hearing. The injunction will probably be mod ified in several p'rl'cnlars, and the final hearing will be had as soon as possible in order to give the city a full chance to go on with its work should the case terminate in its favor. g THE UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL. Professors Cobb and Thomas Resign The University Liw school will be more nearly under the control of the faculty. This comes about by the resignation of Professors Cobb and Thomas, who have for several years so admirably managed this dep,\r‘ment. They resigned on account of their other duties being so pressing as to leave them no time to attend to the Law School as they wished. The Trustees now have the matter in hand and will probably take tbe Law school regularly under the charge of the Univeisit, The prize drill of tbe University mk dels came of Friday afternoon a& five o’clock on the cam pas jM And a large crowd was in attendance upon the occasion. The trustees of the University, the Lucy Cobh young la dies, the visiting youag ladies, the Board of visitors, and a large number of citizens constituted the assemblage that witnessed the hoys execute the different movements of tbe drill manual^. The hoys did exceedingly well, and deserve muob credit for then efficiency Tue battalion then came to the dress parade and made quite an imposirg ap pearance. The Board of Trustees and Board of Visitors were high y pleased with the military feature of the Uni versity aud the way in wkicl it is man aged. Col. Snelling, the efficient comman dant and his splendid corps of officers deserve much credit for the manner in which they have managed tbe Univer sity military department. At the end of the drill and dress par ade Col. Snelling awarded the prizes. Tbe first prize consisted of two hand some gold headed oanes, the presents ot Col. Snelling to tbe best drilled private in Company A and in Company B. These prizes were awarded to Messrs. Ch&s. B. Slade and J. H. Butner. Tbe second prize was two silk um brellas offered by Mr. S.
