THE PEABODY INSTITUTE.
How It Has Progressed nnd the Cood It
lias Done, Etc.
TUe Peabody Institute will close to
morrow. It opened August 1st, and will
have been in session Jnat four weeks.
There were 06 member* enrolled lin the
white department for the four weeks and
sixty in the colored, making a total
of 156. The average daily attendance, as
shown by the register, never fell below
fifty whites and forty colored, except on
one day during the month. This plain
ly show* the interest felt by the members
and the attendance represented fifteen
counties of middle and southern Georgia,
and the teachers represented the best of
tneir profeason in their respective local
ities. They made up an exceedingly
sprightly school.
TUB TiraEB INSTRUCTORS,
Messrs. Lane, Zettltr and Evans, each de
livered two lectures a day on their respec
tive subjects. In addition the teaohers
wars favored with two lectures by Professor
Willet, of Mercer, one by Professor Derry,
of Wesleyan, and one b.v Professor Bran-
1mm, of Branham’s school. Dr. Orr apeot
four days with the institute, giving two
lectures each day upon the public school
law of Georgia lor the benefit of teachers
and school commissioners, and also deliv
ered two public addresses at night on na
tional aid to education.
Among the means adopted to increase
the interest of the members of the
institute and give diversity to the
exercises none proved more entertaining
and improving than the weekly report of
the “critic committee.” This consisted of
the slang phrases, ungrammatical expres
sions and wrong pronunciations heard
by the members of the committee among
the teachers during the week, and read
out at the time of the general exercises on
Friday.
The pub ic school teachers of this city
and county were present la large numbers
every day, and oontributed n great deal to
the Huccess of the institute. Superintend
ent Zt;tiler U justly proud of them.

over the city. It happened that

CKRTAINLV DO GREAT OOOD.
But the great trouble, Prof. Zettler says, is
that the teachers and sections most in
need of the aid extended by the institutes,
are not reached. He thinks county con-'
ventions of teachers, holding for one week
and under the general management of the
county school commissioners, with such
cutsiue aid as may be thought proper,
would prove much more efiectlve than the
prf sent plan, but this. Dr. Orr says, would
not suit the views of Dr. Curry, agent of
the Peabody trustees, who furnish all the
money with which the institute work is car
ried on in Georgia. Prof. Zetrler also says
if our Legislature could be induced to sup
plement the appropriation made by the
Peabody trustees for this work, as is clone
in the other Southern 8tates, we could of
course have more to say abont the plans to
bo adopted, but until this is done we must
of course conform to the wishes of those

About 1 o’clock yesterday mori)ing two
sharp reports of a pistol were heard in the
lower part of the city. Officers Golden,
Hardy and Wood at odco ran In the direc
tion from which the reports came, and to
make a short cut ran across the vacant P.

streets, which is now covered by high
weeds. When abont half way across thero
was a sudden disappearance of one of the
three officers. The remaining two looked
around for the missing man. but no where
could he be seen. Then a voice proceeded
as if from tho bowels of the earth, and an
investigation showed tiiat officer Wood
had fallen into a deep well.

The well is about fortv or fifty feet deep,
but as luck would have it a pipe, formerly
used for a pnmn, runs across the well
about five or six feet from the surface, and

the pipe. He was so badly frightened at
first that lie could not speak, but had
sen*e enough left to hang on to the pipe
until officers Golden anil Hardy coaid
rescue him.

Ford’s Crow-Hop.
This is the way in which the Rome
Courier tells how Ford won the one-hour
match In that place on Friday:
Ford, of Macon, the champion of the
State, was on hand and spoiling for a walk
of some kind. yesterday afternoon
one-hour heel-toe match was arranged be
tween him and A* cock for a $100 purse.
By agreement, Aycock was allowed to skip
and Ford to utilize bis crow-hop. which
was nothing more nor less than a single
foot heel nnd-toe run. The start was made
at 4 o’clock, and Aycock soon demonstrated
the fact that Ford was no match for him
iu a square heel-and-tr e. Bat when Aycock
would get a little too far ahead. Ford would
strike out on his crow-hop and soon climb
up.
“When time was called at 5 o’clock Ford
had scored six miles and tour laps and’
Aycock six miles three and a half laps.”

The bicycle is taking the place of the

Macon has quite a number of the machines
and some expert wheelmen, bnt bicycles
are not exempt frdrn the old saw, that
accidents will happen, and we hsve three
mishaps to chronicle this morning.
On Thursday night last, as Mr.
G. S. Davis, manager of the Telephone Ex
change, was rounding the cornerof Poplar
street and Cotton Avenue, his macnine
ran into a gully or hole in the street which
gave hi in
“a header,”
os bicyMists term a forward fall. When
he picked himself up he found his left
shoulder so badly injured that hii arm was
entirely useless all during yesterday. Mr.
Davis Is compelled to use a bicycle because
of the long distances he has to cover while
looking after his line.
Yesterday morning as Mr. Will Franke,
bookkeeper for I. Herman & Co., while
coming down the avenue on his machine, a
little negro child was in his way. He rang
his fiell but the child did not seem to know
which way to turn and she was
KNOCKED DOWN

flowed freely from an ugly gash in
her head. The mother of the child, Alice

Tlie Senatorial convention for the thirty
fourth district, comprising the counties of
Delvalb, Gwinnett and Henry, met at De
catur to-day to nominate a candidate, rat
ifying the resuit of the primary held in
Henry county last Saturday, which nomi-
ited Hon. James 1C. Brown. Colonel
Brown, the nominee, who is the editor of
the Henry County Weekly, was in the city
to-day, and carries bis honors meekly. He
is a man of strong convictions, and will be
a prominent member of the next Legisla
ture.
A grand union Sunday-school pic
nic was held at East Point to
day, and the crowd gathered
from the four points of the compais. The
legislative candidates in this count? put in
an early appearance and mingled freely
and unctiously with the throng. It is re
markable how unanimously candidates
warm toward the country picnic. What
ever their religious or political conviction,
there they meet the people and each other

left th* store and went to hla room, where
he was found soon after, and, as aavcral
