Interesting Happenings In the
State Gathered at Random.
Chancellor HIU Ail<Tr**e* Colord student*
The year now drawing to a close has
been the most successful in the bistory
of the Georgia State Industrial Col
lege, the colored school conducted at
Sataonah by ti e state of Georgia.
The enrollment for the past year has
been 633. This is the largest uumber
ever enrolled there in any previous
year. Last Friday Hon. Walter B.
Hill, chancellor of the University of
Georgia, of which this colored school
is one of the branch departments, paid
hii regular quarterly visit to the
school. Iu his honor, after he had
finished inspecting the various depart
ments, the students assembled in the
chapel of Meldrim hall. The quartet
of the college rendered in a very accept
able manner some old-time negro plan
tation songs, much to the delight of
Chancellor Hill.
The chancellor addressed the students
for about thirty minutes. His address
was exctlleut and well timed. He ex
pressed himself as being fully in sym
pathy with the colored people in re
gard to their educational needs. But
he urged the young people not to be
worrying ami fretting about their
rights and privileges, so-called, but to
be concerned more about fitting thern
; selves for the duties and responsibili
ties of life.
He congratulated them upon the
splendid opportunity given them by
the state to master a trade while re
ceiving their academic training. He
stated that, from what he had seen at
different times, he felt that they were
trying to make the most of their op
portunities. He spoke in the highest
terms of praise of the work being
done by Prof. B. It. Wright and his
corps of teachers. The chancellor’s
remarks were frequently interrupted
by applause from the students and
teachers.

Old LandmHrk Burned.
j The burning of Betbel Male college
i removes one of Cuthbert’s old and
| historic landmarks. The massive and
! imposing colonial structure was erect
ed before the war by the Baptists. It
was used for years as the Baptist Fe
male college and young ladies all over
the state are among its graduates. It
was deeded to the state, along with
the Cutbbert Male sehool building
and used for many years as a branch
college.
When the Male school building
was burned the proceeds from the in
surance was placed upon the building
burned Thursday night. Boys and
young men from this and other states
have been among the students. Many
sentimental ties were connected with
the building. This mukes the third
college building to burn in Cutbbert.
The insurance upon the building was
carried by the city of Cutbbert and
amounted to $4,000.

Every woman in the country !
ought to know about
Mothers friend
Those who do know about it
wonder how they ever got along
without it. It has robbed child
birth of its terrors for many a (
young wife. It lias preserved her a
girlish figure and saved her much l
suffering. It is an external lini
ment and carries with it therefore, I
absolutely 110 danger of upsetting j
the system as drugs taken intern- j
ally are apt to do. It is to be \
rubbed into the abdomen to soften
and strengthen the muscles which
are to bear the strain. This means
much less pain. It also prevents
morning sickness and all of the
other discomforts of pregnancy.
A druggist of Macon, Ga., says:
“I have sold a large quantity of
Mother's Friend and have never
known an instance where it has
failed to produce the good results
claimed for it.”
A prominent lady of Lam

PRESIDENTIAL JAUNT
McKinley and Parly Begin Their
Transcontinental Tour.
AN ENTHASIASTIC “AU REVOIIT
First Day’s Run Was Through
historic Sections of Virginia.
Glad Welcome Everywhere.
A Washington special says: The
traiu which is to carry President and
Mrs. McKinley and their party on
their excursion across the continent
and back made its start Monday pre
cisely on schedule time over the
Southern road. Before 10 o’clock
many people had congregated about
the station and when the president
and Mrs. McKinley arrived abont
10:20 o’clock the building was throng
ed and many persous were congre
gated on the outside.
There was a cheer as the president’s
immediate party drove up to the sta
tion aud a general demonstration of
affectionate regard as the head of the
nation and his wife made their way
through the crowd to the train.
They were accompanied to the train
by numerous friends and by many per
sons distinguished iu the affairs of the
nation.
Mrs. McKiuley found the drawing
room of the private coach, which she
and the president are to occupy, beau
tifully decorated with roses and other
flowers. She spoke gratefully of the
thoughtful ca’.e of her friends, and
seating herself beside a window, facing
| the crowd, continued to smile and bow
to acquaintances until the train moved
out. The president took his position
on the rear platform of the Olympia
beside Secretary Hitchcock, hat in
hand, a brilliant carnation in his but
tonhole aud a smile upon his face.
Just as the minute hand of the big
clock in the station touched the 10:30
point the train started upon its 10,000
mile journey. The crowd cheered en
thusiastically and waved a good-bye.
The demonstration was contiuued un
til the train left the environs of Wash
ington, the crowd extending well to
the city limits.
THROUGH HISTORIC VIRGINIA.
The first day of the president’s long
tour to the Pacific coast lay through a
historic section of Virginia, across the
valleys of the Rapidau and James, in
sight of the homes of Madison aud
Jefferson, up past the peaks of Otter,
so clear to the hearts of the Virginian,
into the picturesque Blue ltidge
mountains.
The Tennessee line was reached at
10:55 o’clock Monday night, with ths
arrival of the train at Bristol. Fho
route, as far as Lynchburg wna over
the Southern railway. There the train
was shifted to the tracks of the Nor
folk aud Western for a short cut to
Bristol, where it resumed its flight
over the Southern road. The presi
dential party received a flattering ova
tion from the time the train left Wash
ington.
Large crowds assembled at every
station; the country side aud cross
roads each had its little group of wav
ing watchers straining their eyes to
catch a glimpse of the chief magistrate
as the train whisked by. At Char
lottesville the students of the Univer
sity of Virginia turned out; at Lynch
burg Senator Daniel, Virginia’s crack
orator, made a speech greeting the
president, and at Roanoke two bands
crashed out their welcome. At each
of these places the president respond
ed to the loud calls made upon him,
and spoke briefly from the rear plat
form of his car.
If the initial day’s reception through
Virginia is an indication of what is to
occur throughout the rest of the trip,
the president’s tour across the conti
nent will be a triumphal one. Soma
of the people in the eagerness to grasp
the president’s hand climbed up the
railing surrounding the platform. The
president received these demonstra
tions good natnredly aud never failed
smilingly to grasp the hand extended
to him. Mrs. McKinley,sitting at the
window in the observation car, smil
ing and waving her handkerchief in re
sponse to the greetings of the multi
tudes, created no less, if not more,
enthusiasm than the president.
JORDAN CONFESSES GUILT.
Two Kobbfri tf Kxpr* Cur Now
In the Toil*.
Detective Amcrson reached Macon,
Ga., Tuesday morning with C. R.
Jordan, who was arrested in Atlanta
Monday night charged with being the
confederate of O. W, Chestnut in the
robbery of Express Messenger White.
Jordan was taken direct to the office
of the chief of police, who had a long
talk with Jordan, during which the
prisoner made a full confession of his
part in the robbery, but placed all the
blame on Chestnut. His recital of the
details of the robbery coincided ex
actly with the confession of Chestnut.
AX OUTLAW DECAPITATED.
Hope Broke at Hangrlnc *nrt Headloca
Trunk Filched Forward.
At Clayton, N. M,, Friday afternoon,
Thomas E. Ketchum, alias “Black
Jack,” the notorious outlaw, who had
terrorized the people of the southwest
for the past fifteen years, was hanged
for train robbery, and his head was
severed from the body l>y the rope as
if by a guillotine. The headless trunk
pitched forward toward the spectators
and blood spattered upon those near-
