STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
CLOSED A WEEK OF GREAT SUC- |
CESS ON YESTERDAY.
THE PEABODY INSTITUTE
Will I fleet for Organization Today—
A Short Interview With Presi
dent Evans-
The weeks session of ,teachers at the
Normal school elosed yesterday, and
nearly two hundred teachers leave for
their respective homes to take up their
schools.
The happiest of men in Georgia to
day is the commissioners and faculty of
the State Normal school. The brilliant
success with which the past weeks work
has been crowned, has gone beyond the
fondest expectation.
President Evans and Commissioner
Bradwell with the entire faculty, will
be the toast of the State for many days
to come on the great success they have
scored for the teachers Institute.
The work done the past week has
been of a superior quality. The brainy
faculty has delivered forcible lectures,
on the fundamental principles of
teaching, and each day has found more
than two hundred interested teachers,
imbued with a desire to gain informs
tion assembled in the ltctnre halls.
la an interview with President
Evans on yesterday, he said, in speak
ing to a Banner reporter: “Yes, sir;
our srccess has been phenomenal. In
the first place a much lsrger number of
teachers assembled than we could rea
sonably hope for the 1st session of the
school, and their promptness at all lec
tures showed clearly that they were
thirsty for knowledge and information
that they might be better equipped
for the noble work before them, and
their interest did not close with the
leo.-ires either, but frequent discussions
were held in the respective rooms of
the teachers at night, when the work
of the day would bo reviewed and dis
cussed.”
Do 'j ou think the past week’s work
will materially aid the teachers in the
common schools this year, Professor ?
“Yes, iudeed,” came President Evans’
ready reply.
, “They will be as a wholp, largely
benefited for the work of ’92. The in

Those who bad seen the “HardBbells”

defeated.
The Comer boys first went to the bat

A^e-new service established since March

Tbe Republicans desired the report to

clined the amendment to that effect, and
the Republicans declined to vote. The
resolution was adopted.
Mr. Holman, from the committee on
appropriations, reported, and the house
passed the joint resolution extending
temporarily (until July 30) certain ap

Mr. Holman also reported back the

Parkersburg, W. Va., July 15.—The
theft of the papers aud documents in
the Clonston case was the cause of great
excitement. There are now in jail,
charged with the theft, Charles Webb,
porter of the Blenfierbasset Hotel; Wil
lis Jackson, a negro barber, and E.
Ward Clouston. Clouston was taken
before the circuit court, when his old
bondsman game him op and refused t->
have anything more to do with him.
There were five capiases against him.
and nobody would go on bis bond. He
was then taken before Justice Stapleton
to answer to the charge of theft, but
waived examination, and was sent to
jail.
Jackson, one of the prisoners, con
fesses that Clonston offered him $50 to
steal the papers. Webb, the other pris
oner, confesses that he located the box
for Jackson, but denies stealing it. A
man named Shumway, a witness in one
of the cases against Oiouston, says that
two hours before the robbery was dis
covered Clonston: told him that he had
secured and burned all papers, and that
he was now free. There are other wit
nesses whose testimony is strong evi
dence against Clonston. It is generally
beleived that Clouston has all along
been protected during his trials by out
side parties who have had a hand in the
robberies, and that they wore afraid
Clonston would blow if convicted. In
fact Clonston openly threatened to make
things hJt for certain parties if he was
not palled oat of a bole.

Charlotte, July 15.—Some weeks
ago it was suggested that a great politi
cal rally be held in Cbarlotte some time
in September, aud that Hon. Adlai E.
Stevenson, the Democratic nominee for
vice {^resident, be invited to address it.
The suggestion was acted c4>on at once,*
and a letter of invitation was dispatched
to Mr, Stevenson. Mr. Charles W. Til-
lett received a reply from Mr. Steven
son. It was written at Bloomington,
I1L, on the Uth. In his letter Mr. Stev-
enson'says that it would give him pleas
ure to visit Charlotte, but he is not now
able to set an exact date for liis visit.
He further acknowledges his indebted
ness to the North Carolina delegation in
the Chicago convention. Mr. Stevenson
says further that lie will write again at
a later date more definitely. It is qnite
safe to say that Mr. Sterenson will be
in Cbarlotte in September, and then tbe
citizens of thiB city will have the great
est political rally ever known in the
history of the Queen City.

Mr. Editor:—Your picture is the

brought fresh to my memory, an inci
dent which occurred near Savanui,
Ga., in Feb. 1SC4. Col. Mells regiment

camp below Savannah, near Thunder
bolt.
It was cold weather, said to lie the
coldest for many years.
J. W. Wier was then a boy, about 10
years old. He and I were in mess to
gether. It was a cold morning, and we
had drawn syrup the nigbt before, and
put it in one of our canteens. There
was only a pint of it, and Messrs. Thos.
Ep L >s and Flisch, both of whom were
in the same mess, with us, neither 0!
them wanted syrup for breakfast.
So “Jack” and I saw a good tiling in
that, and that good thing was that we
ware going to have the syrup all to our
selves. With a tin pan for a plate, and
each of ns with a piece of bread in our
hand we sat down, and Jack took up
tne canteen and commenced to pour
out syrup. Owing to the cold weather
it come out in a stream about as big aa
broom-straw, and whenever there was
as much aa a spoonfull in tbe pan, I
would just wipe it up with my bread.
Jack soon saw at this rate of pouring
that his chances forgetting any of the
syrup was slim. I saw Jack begin to
get restless and look around as if
things were not going on exactly to
gait him, and Anally he said to me, call
ing me by name, “I wish you woued
pour awhile,” which I of course did
and we never stopped until we dreaned
the canteen of all the sweetness in it.
But it will never be known which of ns
