Six Hundred Feet Shafts.
Captain Otto Scupin returned to the
Betz camp Wednesday after spending
several days in town, He says he is
now sinking several shafts to a depth of
five hundred and six liundeed feet.
The shafts are eight by eight and are
sunk by machinery. Captain Scupin
says they are being sunk on an incline
but that when he gVta enough down
this way he will sink others perpen
dicular. The ore at a depth of six hun
dred feet is much richer than that near
er the .surface of the earth. It pays,
therefore, to sink the shafts to such a
depth, says Captain Scupin. He is
making a good thing out of the Betz
mine.

[negroes of Gainesville seem in-

Co., J. C. Hill, B. D. Langford and oth-

Dr. McGregor’s Book.
Dr. Malcolm McGregor of Atlanta,
who has been assisting ReV. J. A.
Wynne in the meetings at the First
Baptist church,’ has written a b^>ok
which will no doubt be widely read.
The title of it is “The Divine Authority
of Paul’s Writings.” Dr. McGregor has
put much time and study into the work
and as his ability is well known his
ideas will be graphically portrayed in
the volume. The book will be issued
from the press next week.
On Col. Wiley’s Staff.
Mr. Hubert Estes of Gainesville,
wants to go to the a member of
Col. C. M. Wiley’g gfcaff, He formerly
belonged tq it when he resided in Ma
con and was a member of the Macon
Volunteers. CoL Wiley is colonel of the
Second regiment and is the senior colo
nel in the service. It would be an hon
or to enter active service under such a
brave and gallant officer, and who won
distinction as a confederate soldier.

Mrs. Boyd Dies.
Mrs. Mary Boyd died at the home of

been in progress at the First Baptist

a close Wednesday night. Dr. Malcom
McGregor, of Atlanta, who so ably as
sisted Rev. J. A. Wynne, is an earnest,
zealous minister and the people of
