MidvillE, June 15.—Pierce, who shot
and killed his wife near here in Emanuel
county yesterday morning, also killed
himself by taking strychnine.
He was found dead in the woods that
same day with the deadly little bottle by
his side. Some think the reason why he
did all this was because his wife refused to
lire with him, they having quarreled and
separated some time ago.
lilt was well he killed himself, for the
whole country was thick with men hunt
ing him down that he might be brought to
justice.

dee, who escaped from the Sumter county
jail on the 7th inst., was captured yester
day morning, and brought to this city and
placed in jail this morning.
It will not he possible for Blackman to

one of the strongest in the Stale, and his
escape before was tho result of a want of
diligence on the part of the parlies entrust
ed with his safe-keeping.
The exercises of our public schools closed
to-day. The attendance during the year
has been large and the results satisfactory.
Our system of public schools has the repu
tation of being one of thecheapist, as well
as one of the most efficient, in the State,
all owing to the able management of Col.
N. A. Smith, president of the hoard of ed
ucation, and his able assistants.

have been more interesting to-day than
yesterday. The morning session was nicely
interspersed with, business, speeches and
music. Prof. Smith
some pointed tilings
dren and parents, and
made it at times amusing, yet impressive.
Rev. Mr. Shaw, of Atlanta, spoke very
earnestly on “How to make the infant class
a success.”
In the discussion as to the importance of
the continuance of the State Sunday-
School Association warm remarks were
elicited from several gentlemen. Messrs.
Kimball and G uitney, of Atlanta, Mr.
Hunnicutt and others were zealously
effective in the good c-use, aa the fervor
of their words attested.
In the early part of the afternoon crowds

MONTEZCAIA.
SUA-cssfnl Ilevivnl Services—Fifth Artesian
I Well—To day’s Primary.
Montlzuma, June 15.—The success of
the revival meeting that has just closed
here has been all that its most sanguine
friends could have wished. Many have
joined the church and many more have
signified an intention to unite with the
church of their choice at an early da’e.
The tent will be removed from here and
we hope success will attend th4 efforts of
its managers.
Mr. E. U. Lewis has just completed his
artesian well, the flow of which is about
tiiirty gallons of water per minute. He
will fix up a system of waterworVs for his
own use that will be very convenient as
well aa a pleasure and ornament to
his comfortable home. This makes the
filth artesian well now in our town, and
we can offer to our visitors tho purest and
best water of any town in Southwest
Georgia. We extend to all visitors a cor
dial welcome.
There have been several changes in real
estate in our town recently and the pros
pect of a building boom is very flattering.
The different candidates for the Legis
latute are extremely anxious ns to the re
sult of the primary, to be held to-morrow.
While each one is very sanguine of suc
cess, they stand in almost mortal dread of
the final result.
Yesterday John F. Lewis A Ron shipped
to New York fifteen hales of cotton. This
shipment leaves about seven bales in the
warehouse here, less thnn was ever known
before.
Refreshing showers have fallen in the
last two days and the crops have been very
much improved as a consequence.

the inurler of Mr. Tmdee, of El aville,

Shellman, June 15.—The commence
ment exercises of Shellman Institute dosed
last night. There was a large and delight
ed crowd in attendenca throughout the
entire programme. Examinations were
continued Monday, Tuesday and Wednes
day. On Tuesday night an exhibition by
the elocution class was enjoyed by a large
audience. On Wednesday night a concert
was given, the best thing of the kind ever
seen in this section. On Thursday the
primary students recited, and all acquitt
ing themselves remarkably well. The re
port of the board of trustees was read by
the president, Capt. H. A. Crittenden, after
which Col. J. L. Boynton, of Calhoun, was
introduced by Col. R. F. Crittenden. Col.
Rnyntou's address was exactly the right
thing in the right place. At night the
larger pup:!:, •'lio did not take special
lessons in elocution, recited. Then the
prizes were delivered by our fellow towns
man, Col. Wm. M. Seandrett. The presi
dent of the institute then delivered a
diploma to A' ss Maasie C ittenden, the
only graduate of the school this summer.
This closed the regular pi t-gramme, but a
very pleasant episode followed Col. R. F.
Crittenden, in behalf ot the studeuts am
the community, presented, in a mosi felic
itous address, some elegantly bound vol
umes of Shakespeare and Tennyson to the
Misses Mitchell ami Smith, teachers in the

America Discovered by a Ctilnnmnn.
From Proceedings of the Anthropological Con
gress In Session In New York.
Prince Roland Bonaparte said that he
was not disp, sed to question the discovery
by Norsemen of the northeast coast of
America, but he wished to state a little
fact that at least suggested the probability
of an earlier discovery of this continent
by the Chinese. Within the present cen
tury a Frenchman has discovered in very
ancient Chinese history, mention of the
travels of some Chinese priests to the re
mote land of l^i Sang, which is supposed
to have meant this country on ita north
west coast.
_ “It may or may not have been,” con
tinued Prince Bonaparte. “We do noi.
seem to have any means of knowing posi
lively about it. But here is a fact that
wc do know. My friend DuCharnay, in
his Mexican explorations, discovered in
Pnlenque a symbol—this (sketching r.ip-
jdly iiivon the blackboard a circle inclos
ing a horizontal line, wiih a single wave
like an elongated letter S laid on its back,
with a small circle in the larger part of

bol known to the Buddists as Tai-Ki, is
common in China, and has a pliilo- mplii-
eal signification. When it is painted upon
monuments in China, where it frequently
appears, the lower division of the circle u
painted red and the upper part blue.
It represents the idea of phy
sical perfection, the lower part
representing the had and tlie
upper part the good elements. I have in
my possession a small ornamental Chinese
innk, upon the how of which -r—this
symbol, in the more ornamental form of
two dolphins, head and tail, making its

in Mexico. These similarities are at least

News From tlie Northeast Frontier o(
India.
From the London Times.
Thanks to the exploration of the Indian
surveyor, “R. N.," our knowledge of Bhu-
tau is now much enlarged. He and his
companion “P. A.” entered the country at
its western extremity, where it abuts on
the slip of Tibetan country, from which an
attack has recently been made on our
troops in Sikkim. The two explorers hod
thoughts of striking across Bhutau south
- f 1 ..nnallal with Pomlinrtdn’y rmitn
of and parallel with Pemberton’s route,
hnt the disturbed state of the country pre
vented this. “R. N.” had to leave the
Bhutanese hills at Buxa Duar Fort and re
enter them at Dervangeri, from which
place he traveled northeastward, not by
the old British military road, but along
the usual trade route. Signs of the Bhu
tan war are still evident in Kurmed.
where old descried terraces and ruined
houses were frequently met with, and the
military roads made by our forces between
the Dirt Chu river and the frontier may
still be traced. “B. N.” crossed the river
