THE WEEKLY NEWS, CARTERSYILLE, OA. GEORGIA NEWS ITEMS 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. * * * Bank of Gra.vmoiit Chartered. A chartered has been issued from the secretary of state’s office incorpor ating the Bank of Graymout for the purpose of doing a geueral banking business in Graymont, iu Emanuel county.

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. • • • Su*|>*M‘t<l Trln Rubber A man has been arrested at Macon under the name of Frank Fairfax, who is suspected of being one of the men who robbed the Southern express car on the Central train between Macon and Gordon on last Thursday night. Fairfax, who has given several other names, was arrested on a charge of stealing an umbrella and is held iu the city barracks under S3OO bond on that charge. Just what evidence there is against the man the police decline at this time to state, but they regard the case agaiust him as practically conclu sive. *- • * Whlky Firm* Sued. The suit filed iu the United State* court in Atlanta against Blutheuthal A Bickart is the first of a uumber of similar suits that will be filed against whiskey dealers of the city by Inspec tor W. M. Strauss.

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 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 bertou.

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-
