The Normal School closes Saturday.
And the large number of teachers
will repair to their respective homes and
take a short rest before entering upot
the disoharge of their dntiea at their
various schools.
The work done at the session of the
Normal School just closing has been a
grand one, a work that bas succeeded
far beyond the expectations of the
fondest admirers or the new move
ment.
Started under financial difficulties
that would have staggered most insti
tutions, it has risen superior to the
emergency, and has demonstrated for
cibly to the people of Georgia the great
and pressing necessity of placing upon
a permanent foundation such a benefic
ial institution as this.
A Banker reporter interviewed
President Evans upon the work of the
school of the year, and the Interview
speaks eloquently for the Normal School
in all the departments.
President Evans said: “During the
term we have enrolled one hundred and
twelve students, eighty-six of these
being outside of Clarke county. They
came from every section of the State
and the attendance upon the school rep
resented teachers from twenty-eight
counties. The attendance has been
very fine averaging at least seventy
five. This I consider an excellent start
for the institution.
THE FACULTY.
“The faculty consisted of Prof. Otis
Ashmore, of Savannah, on Geography;
p L. M. Landrum, of Atlanta, on
Arithmetic; Prof. J.T. Derry, of Ma
con, on History; Prof. G. G. Bond, of
Athens, on Language; Prof. L. B.

One Hundred and Fifty Miners Burled

London, Ang. 26.—A fearful mining
accident occurred at the ParkBlip Coal
Pit, near Bridgend, a mining town in
Glamorganshire, Wales.
The day shift of miners had not been
long in the mine before a most terrible
explosion was heard. The day shift
comprised 150 men, and their relatives
and friends rushed to the pit’s mouth to
learn the extent of the disaster.
The explosion had caused, the earth
and rock to fall and the mouth of the
pit was closed. Not a single man of
the 150 in the mine had made his escape,
and it ia. feared that there has been
great loss of life.
Hundreds of miners in the vicinity,

General Carnes now understands thor

he believes to have been leaders in the
recent outbreak, will be vigorously
handled.

against Governor Bnchanan are being

that he was fonud in a barroom in a
wretched state of intoxication and that
two hoars of ice water application to his
swollen head were necessary before he
was able to understand the situation at
all.
It is also charged that Buchanan and
Ford were both in Collusion with the
miners and that Bnchanan, contemplat

East Tennessee.
These accusations are openly and.

General Carnes Sifting the Plot.
General Carnes is continuing the
work of catechising-jthe miners, and is
said to have aoqnired much definite in
formation in regard to the leadership in
the recent outbreaks.
D. B. Monroe, the man who is now
looked upon as the real leader of the at
tack, is an Indianian by birth, and is a
member of the Grand Army of the Re
public. He came to Tennessee dnrin):
the boom 4ays in 1888, and located a;
Chattanooga, where he joined a local
post of the Grand Army. -
About a year ago he came to this sec
tion and became a miner, because, as
S o declared, his sympathies were with
