IfliowaV. The bereaved mother, sisters
anil brdlrtors cannot but Ijcliovo that it
was acc^ntal. while tho last remarks
of the de&fitied might have been mado
in jest, qr/jiwt a i well in earnest.
Until yp^erday morning George was
and efoplojjs of tho Evening 'News. Ho I
kail at our time been employed In the
frmlRAMl’s mail room, and was con-
{Bern 1 a safo and reliable' assistant. AN
wavs,willing to work t and energotic, he
Imd ifiado many friends, who were
chocked to learn of his tragic death!
returned to his home on Pine street, and
there remained until * some of his boy
friends came by about noon and asked
him to go to Harris* brick yard and take
. a swim.
, Feeling down-hearted at having lost
hi* situation, tho young man joined his
fri* n«HJhrce young boys, Arthur Mat-
tie ws,vim v lluliard and Oscar Harris,
shwftt agatflst his will, and walked out
to tho pond.
The Vick yard whs reached before 3
q'clock, and? tho bojrs at onoo stripped
and plunged into tho water, which wss
scarcwy five feet deep near tho edges
List was ten or iifteen feet deep toward
tie centre. Young*Lawrence was the
last one to pgdreu. He could not swim
and'every ofte^knew that bo was in the
habit ofisptilning around in the water
near tho edges where it was shallow,
never venturing into tho deeper portion.
To the horror of the' toys, bo plunged
into tl)o water, after remarking to a
te^ro man standing on tho.bank, “hum
Kmnc.to get drowned.**' Tho reuudV-'was

Th'* next tifno that he,rose his hood was
barely visible alovo tho water. Young
liflltird took iii the situation ut a glance,
and called to the negro tuau to assist
Lawrence with a stick he hold in his
hand. The i negro was fairly paralyzed
with fear apff made no . effort to save
him, and whekxho roso for the third'time
ho failed to catch him.
In a few seconds the water was quiet,
and the boys, almost frightened*'but of
their vita,' ram to the brickyard office for
assistance. A large crowd gathered In a
few minutes, and a negro man named
Leroy.Glover* after diving several times
secured tho‘body. Tho brothers of tio
. young mon were notified at onoo.
> The remains were removed to Clay’s
undertaking parlors, where they were,
‘ properly prepared for burial. Tlio cor
oner's jury empaneled by Coroner Hun-
ucrtwi, after .'an examination of tho
witnoescb, returned a verdict of death
from accidental drowning.

wsslPfninded, ahd his friends think that

The tragic' ending of a young life
shocked the entire community, and the
sympathy of everyone is with tho bo-

“Mis Barton's injunction is to thank

share the discomfort of crowded houses

The County Commissioners Visit the
Hospital and Find Neglect, Which ’
Cauaea^iafivorable Comment— *•*
Talk With aCommlssloner« ^
„ There was a ripple among the county
officials'yesterday
It is seldom tlurt^chazges are preferred
against an official, anddt-is more seldom
■that an investigation follows.
This was not * tho* case yesterday when
County • Commissioner? i Henry, Amaaon,
Davis and Jenkins v paid> that institution
commonly knoupi as Roll Home on un
expected visit. It is the county hospital
aud the commissioners, weh desirous of*
knowing how the institution was fun, as'
there had bocn charges of a serious na
ture lodged with a county official against
Sup« rntendeut Harmon.
It was some time ago that Inmates of
the hospital mado complaint of tho treat
ment they received and’ offered to provo,
that the charges were truo. The charges
were side-tracked and little attention
piiid to them. That discouraged the
complainants And nothing wus said of
tho institution until a few days ago one
of the county officials bocamo convinced
that an investigation could not harm
Superintendent Harmon if he was inno
cent of neglect of his charge, but would
cause him to bo exonerated.
The commissioners wore hardly pleased
at what they saw yestir.lay morning,
and as a result, at tiie next meeting of
tho board, it is understood, charges will
bo made formally against the superin
tendent. Tho inmates, when questioned
yesterday, claimed that they were served
with insufficient food, and when they
had milk it was not propeily distributed,
but was given to certain favored ones, no
matter how much it was needed by the
weakest. In the sleeping rooms tho com
missioners found that tho ‘bedding was
hardly as clean as could bo wished for,
and when they found a pillow in tho
yard lying in tho grass, where it had np-
pctiontly been thrown several davs ago
thoy were iwuiewhat surprised. • Tin
supply of vegetables will end
soou, and it is claimed
,that this is camo.l by the
neglect of the garden. The county will
socin bo forced to puio.iaso v^gitiblcs
for ., tho inmates. In the yards, weeds
havel been.allowed to«gruw up, and an
air of^neglect U se£n on all sides. The
; sqpen^tondentiia allowed »three or four

followed. “Tho brido or tho White

Over Thirteen IInn<lr>d Visitors In

Yesterday was Macon’s opportunity. It
bad been announce! that the Sunday-

on un excursion ini spend the day in a

Judge W. If. Thompson haJ arianged
with the Covington and MacoiTkt^'iori-
ties for a 1 irge number of curs, because,
it was known that tiiero would be a
largo crowd. But all calculations fell
short. Tiie train started at Machcn and
when all who were comiug from .that
point hud boarded the train It wfls evident
that tliero would not be room enough for
all who wanted to come. There was a
train of seven coaches, and when Monti-
cello was reached it was found to bo nec-
csMii y to add three box cars to tlio train
and there were still a large number of
excursionists who wero unablo to get
standing room even and were
compelled to abandon their trip.
One gentleman counted the passengers In
the combination mail and espvras^car
and there were 185. Tiro estimauwpf
soino of tho best judges placed the total
nuiul or of excursionist*at 1,800 to 1,400.
Mayor Price, tho last thing beforo his
departure ft r Atlanta Wednesday night,
appoints d a committee of citiiensand
aidexim n to meet the excursionists when
tlio train bliould arrive. Tlio schedule
time for tlio train was 0:80 o'clock, and
a few minutes before that tinio tho com-
mitttoe, with oro or two exceptions, each
with u neat rud badge, appeared at the
depot. They had spoken to the East
Macon brass band, who with their ac-
cu: turned liberality and well-known dis
position to do their share in nil tho on-
terprises of the city, were promptly at
hand in their neat, now uniforms.
The committee had parceled out the
work among themselves, somo to look
after transportation, some to attend to

to seo about the rccjptoaproper.
