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.
B-^oubtedly the best pieces on th<
Jgrogrammow <a the vocal solos by Mis
Nafbfili^Crawford and Miss Evely

Assistant State Geologist Whatley

Says the Constitution: Mr. E. T.
Whatley, assistant State geologist, was
n tbe city yesteiday on business con

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

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

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.

It is given oat that Athens wiU have

OUT OF THE RACE.
David Bennett) Hill Has Written His
Letter,
New York, June 10.—The Times says
this morning
“David B. 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

this moment. It is in the safe of Ed

‘There will be hasty and perhaps an

they are based upon information which

been postponed and will not he heard

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

chance to go on with its work should
the case terminate in its favor. g

other duties being so pressing as to leave
