Biackshear Gets College.
The trustees of the Presbyterian
High School of the Savannah Presby
tery decided at their meeting a day or
t\#o ago to locate the college at Black
shear. Biackshear and Baxley were
the only towns that made any positive
bids. Valdosta was represented at the
meeting, but that city only made a
contingent offer, while Biackshear
came up with the grounds, a building
and £B,OOO in hard cash, with Baxley
a close second, offering the grounds
and $7,000 in money.
The school will be opened up in Oc
tober in the building now occupied by
the Biackshear school. Later on anew
building will be erected at a cost c£
$13,000, the presbytery supplying the
additional $5,000.
The matter of a college for South
Georgia will be prosecuted with vigor,
and at the Georgia synod in November
the state will be asked to assist in the
establishment of the institution in one
of the South Georgia towns, probably
Waycross or Valdosta.

Storm Did Great Damage.
The rainstorm which visited Sumter
county the past week was most disas
trous in its effects. A great many
small trees were blown down and gar
dens were greatly injured by the
steady geating of the rain. Reports
have been received which show that
the farmers suffered greatly. Fields
of oats and wheat which were shoul
der high were completely destroyed by
the terrific storm.
Farmers were preparing to harvest
their crop in a few days, but now they
have none to harvest
Cotton and other grain also were
beaten into the ground and the dam
age to them was large.
Grain which had been stacked in
the fields for several days were also
damaged considerably.
The fruit orchards near Americus
were struck by the storm also and
were seriously injured.
* * *
To Camp at Warm Springs.
It has been positively decided that
the Second Georgia regiment will en
camp at Warm Springs about ten days.
Fuly ten of the twelve companies will
go into camp and Colonel Huguenin
expects that each of the companies
will go with full rank.

Result of Tech Mutiny.
As the result of mutinous conduct at
the Technological school the past
week two students were expelled and
four suspended by action of the faculty
in executive session. The trouble was
thoroughly investigated and the fac
ulty decided that the six students in
question were responsible. The names
of the students are omitted. The sus
pension of the four boys will continue
in force until October.

McWhorter Gets Appointment.
Hon. Fleming G. dußignon, of Sa
vannah, has resigned his position of
trustee of the State University, giv
ing as his reason for resigning the
fact that he has, since the death of
Governor Atkinson, held the office in
practically a dual capacity—as trustee
from the state at large also as ex-offi
cio member of the board.
Governor Candler has appointed
Hon. Hamilton McWhorter, of Lex
ington, to fill the vacancy. Mr. Me-
Whorter, it is said, was recommended
for the appointment some time ago
when it was thought Mr. dußignon
would resign for the reason stated.
He is one of the best known lawyers
of Georgia, having for several years
held the position of judge of the north
ern judicial circuit. He is at present
one of the attorneys for the Southern
Railway Company and is president of
the Augusta Southern, one. of the
Southern’s new purchases.
Judge McWhorter is a graduate of
the State university and one of its
most earnest friends. He has done
much for the institution in a quiet way
and has aided materialy in raising the
centennial endowment fund which
will be presented tp the university
the coming commencement.

Third Regiment Encampment.
The Third regiment, Georgia state
troops, has selected Washington, Ga.,
as a site for their encampment this
year. Athens also wanted the encamp
ment, but Washington made the best
offer, and the regiment will go there
for a week or more about the middle of
July.
Washington’s offer was very liberal.
They offered the regiment S3OO in cash
and agreed to fix up the camping
ground, putting in the necessary water
mains and electric lights and have the
grounds ready for ocupaney July Bth.
The committee from the regiment also
visited Athens, hut hpjiring^jnrilliijTAJL-
Women are Like

B they blossom

and feel well. It’s her right and duty,
but she might as well try to put out a
fire with od as to be healthy and at
tractive with disease corroding the

their health depends her health. If
there is inflammation or weakening

period, attend to it at once. Don’t

grave every day you put it off.
Women can stand a great deal, but
they cannot live forever with disease

have been deceived in so-called cures.

is as much difference between it and

from there, the offer of Washington
was accepted without delay. The regi
ment will remain in camp from July

Railroad rates of 1 cent per mile
have been secured, and the encamp
ment will cost each company from $(0

than usual.

Litigation Nearing End.
The end of the litigation is In sight
in the case of the Southern Mutual
Building and Loan Association, which
went into the hands of a receiver in
Atlanta four years ago.
Judge Lumpkin is preparing an opin
ion on the exceptions to the report of
the master, and it will probably be
handed down in a few days. This opin
ion will direct the disposition of the
assets of the concern and will con
clude the litigation, unless an appeal
from the opinion is made to the su
preme court. Even if that is done, it
is expected that the matter will he
terminated in a few months.
There are two receivers for the con
cern in Georgia—Judge James A. An
derson, of Atlanta, and M. A. O’Byrne,
of Savannah, both having been ap
pointed by Judge Lumpkin. L. D. Pal
mer, of Nashville, is also an ancillary
receiver.
The business of the concern in Tex
as, Mississippi, South Carolina, Flori
da and Alabama was also placed in the
hands of receivers. The business in
the first three named states has been
wound up and is nearly so in the two
latter.
It is announced that the receivers
have about slou,uoo in bank in Geor
gia. Nearly all of the unsold property
Is in this state, but there is a portion
in Florida and Tennessee.

PRESIDENT BACK AT CAPITAL
Mrs. McKinley’s Condition Is Still
Very Precarious and Considera
ble Anxiety Is Felt.
The train bearing the president and
Mrs. McKinley and the party accom
panying them on the tour through the
west,, ended with its arrival in Wash
ington at 7:30 o clock Thursday morn
ing. exactly on schedule time. Mrs.
McKinley was removed to the carriage
in waiting and driven slowly to the
white house. She looked pale and
wan, the natural result of the grave
ordeal through which she recently has
passed.
No demonstration marked any por
tion of the early morning run of the
presidential train toward Washing
ton. A few people were gathered at
points along the way, hut there were
none but silent greetings, in accord
with the spirit that has prevailed
among the crowds past whom the train
has run since the start homeward.
Several hundred Washington people
lined the sidewalks. A police cordon
of a score or more of men were early
on the scene and stationed at inter
vals along both sides of the track re
served for the train. Owing to the
early hour, perhaps, only a few offi
cials were present. The train was
run on to a track in the middle of
Sixth street, just outside of the Penn
sylvania station, and the presidential
carriage was drawn up alongside.
President McKinley was on the
platform as the train rolled In and
bowed to a few who lifted their hats
in silent salute. Mrs. McKinley was
removed from the private car Olympia
to a carriage on a chair borne by the
president and Dr. Rixey, assisted by
several others. Several members of
the cabinet stood alongside ready to
lend a helping hand. Mrs. McKinley
was slowly lifted into the carriage and
made comfortable.
On arrival at the white house, the
president and Dr. Rixey, aided by at
tendants, carefully lifted Mrs. Mc-
Kinley in a chair and carried her slow
ly into the white house and to her
apartments.
Much anxiety is felt at the white
house as to the condition of Mrs. Mc-
Kinley.
Thursday evening her case was re
garded as serious enough to justify the
calling in of Dr. W. W. Johnston, one
of the most distinguished ’’last resort”
physicians in the vicinity. Surgeon
General Sternberg, of tb“ army, was
also called in consultation and the
gravest apprehensions are felt as to
what the result may be. The journey
home from California is said to have
been made at the earnest solicitation
of Mrs. McKinley.
SWEPT TO WATERY GRAVES.
Party of Seven Happy Merry Makers
Carried Over River Dam to
Cruel Death.
A rowboat containing a merry party
of eight young persons was swept
over Flat Rock dam in the Schuylkill
river near Philadelphia Thursday af
ternoon and seven of them—Five
girls and two boys—were drowned.
Only one of the occupants, a young
maa, was saved.
Heavy rains had made the .nuddy
stream quite high,, and tne current
was much swifter than usual. The hoy
doing the rowing decided to go
through the locks, and as he ap
proached the dam he was hailed by
the lock keeper not to approach any
closer. The young oarsman attempted
to turn the boat, which was then about
fifty feet from the dam, but he turned
the wrong way. Realizing then, for
the first time that they were in dan
ger, the girls began screaming, and
the oarsman lost control of the boat.
Swiftly it was carried toward the
brink of the falling waters, and just
as it reached the breast of the dam,
the entire eight stood up and the
bOt went over stern first.
The drop to the rocks below is ap
proximately twelve feet. The boat
struck the water bottom up, and as it
disappeared the whole party were un
der it. Nothing more was seen by the
few persons who saw the accident, for
almost a minute, when the boat reap
peared with one boy clinging to its
keel. Then the other young man was
seen to come to the surface and make
a frantic effort to reach shore by
swimming. The six girls never rose to
the surface.
WALDERSEE LEAVES CHINA.
Departure of Field Marshal Attended
By a Great Farewell Demonstration.
The departure of Field Marshal
Count Waldersee from Pekin Monday
was marked by a great military dis
play by the allied troops, the booming
ef artillery and the playing of bands.
The entire diplomatic body escorted
;he field marshal to the depot.
Von Rauch, the aid de camp and
lephew of Count Von Waldersee, will
remain to escort Prince Chun, the em
peror’s brother, to Berlin, where he
will formally apologize in behalf of
China for the murder of Baron Von
Xettler.

SOLDIERS RUN RIOT
In Maddened Fnry They Wreck a
Saloon at San Francisco.
AN EXCITING BATTLE ENSUES
Trouble Only Quelled When Firemen
Turned Hose on the Crowd.
Comrade Was Drugged
and Caused Row.
Soldiers to the number of 500 or 600
Indulged in a riot at San Francisco
Saturday night and wrecked one of tho
many drinking places just outside the
Presidio reservation.
There are many conflicting stories
as to the origin of the trouble. The
soldiers of the Forty-sixth volunteer
infantry were mustered out of the ser
vice Friday and the men given their
discharges and pay. Most of the men
had several hundred dollars coming to
them and they did considerable drink
ing in the Presidio resorts.
A man by the name of Morgan, of
the Forty-sixth, was found unconscious
in front of Mrs. Power’s saloon. Two
of Morgan’s companions took him to
camp for treatment. The physicians
pronounced it a case where drugs had
been administered. The news spread
rapidly about the camp and soon there
were a dozen or more men running to
Mrs. Power's saloon. They demanded
reparation for the drugging of their
comrade, but any knowledge of the
affair was denied. Two or three men
lounging about the place sided in with
the woman and ordered the soldiers
from the premises. They went back
for reinforcements and spread the re
port that two of their companions had
been killed in this saloon.
A mob made up of members of the
Forty-fifth and Forty-sixth regiments,
then rushed pell-mell through the Pre
sidio gates to the saloou, which was
entirely -wrecked.
The place caught fire from the over
turned lamps. One of the bartenders
was severely beaten and cut. There
were threats to lynch him when a
squadron of cavalry and provost guard
of sixty men from the Forty-fifth ar
rived and rescued him.
The efforts of the cavalry and guard
to disperse the crowd were futile until
the fire department turned the hose
upon them. This and the entire guard
cf the post helped to restore order.
A careful investigation of the report
that some of the soldiers had died
from drugged liquor proved that such
was not the case. Morgan, of the For
ty-sixth regiment, was the only man
whom it is thought might have been
the victim of a drug.
COSTLY MAIL PACKAGE MISSING,
Consigned to Bank at Great Bend,
Kan., With SB,OOO, But Disappeared.
A special from Kansas City, Mo.,
says: A package containing SB,OOO in
currency was consigned two weeks
ago by registered mail from the Na
tional Bank of Commerce of Kansas
City to a bank in Great Bend, Kan.,
and it has never been delivered. The
officials at the post office deny any
knowledge of the matter, but inspec
tors have been at work on the case
since May 13th, when investigation
was made at Larned. It appears that
the theft must have been committed in
the post office at Kansas City, the reg
istry branch at the union station, or at
the post office in Larned.
By some mistake the registered mail
for Great Bend was inclosed in the
inter-registered sack for Larned, and
when the postmaster at Larned opened
the pouch he found that there had
been a mistake by the registry depart
ment at the union station here. It
would be impossible for the railway
postal clerks to have opened the regis
tered pouch without detection, as the
pouch was locked with a rotary lock,
which is numbered, and every time
the pouch is opened the lock registers
a number higher than the one shown
before.
The postmaster at Larned says that
he received the pouch and gave his
receipt for it and that the contents did
not include the package of money.
The conclusion arrived at by the
post office officials is that the package
was taken before the pouch left the
Kansas City office.
MAJORITY HAVE STRUCK.
Reports Show that Over Half of South
ern’s Machinists Are Out.
Reports receive Thursday by the
Southern railway officials showed that
more than half of the machinists em
ployed at the Southern’s shops at
Charleston, Atlanta, Knoxville, Selma.
Columbia, Spencer, Manchester and
Birmingham are out on a strike. The
advices announce that there is no trou
ble at the Alexandria, Memphis and
Lawrenceville shops and all the men
there are at work. About 500 men are
employed by the Southern in all its
shops. The reports do not state the
exact number of strikers.
WAR FACTS WITHHELD.
Success cf Beers In South Africa Kept
From British Public.
British newspapers which usually
support the guvernment continue to
grumble, says tne correspond
ent of The New York Tribune, because
the British, public are being kept in
ignorance of the real fac t3 of the war
in South Africa. The Boers appear to
be making steady progress in the
