One ctf the moat delightful pleasures
In atom for the people of Athena next
week is the musical feature of the
Home School commencement Thursday
night.
Thera is always a finish and perfec
tion about tfao work of the Home School
young ladies that makes it peculiarly
attractive and interesting. This has
been a year of unbroken success with
the Home School, and Madam and Miss
oosnowski are to be congratulated on
the good work they have accomplished.
Those who have visited
the Home School commencement
exercises are anticipating an evening of
rioh pleasure Thursday, and they will
nvt be disappointed. There is no wor
thier or more .thorough school for
yonng ladies in Georgia than tho Home
School.
The University Commencement
exercises will be nnnsnally interesting
this year.
Among the social features already on

HARRY HILL GOES INTO REMIN
ISCENCES ABOUT HIMSELF.
HE PLEADS SOT GUILTY,
Says He Had Mrs. Porter's
Permission to Use Her
Name for Any Amonnt,
And Under the Cir
cumstances She
Could Go Back
on Him Now.
Harry Hill has been doing some more
talking, and what he says is sufficient
to warrant the statement that there are
meny developments to follow in the
celebrated case that will prove of more
than pissing interest.
In an interview he gives a detailed
history of his business transactions and
losses since he quit the bed and board of
his venerable grandfather down on the
farm to the prvs-nc. He says he went
to work u a conductor to learn some
thing about human nature; but, alas!
he has learned too much. He uys that
he lost $50,000 in building the Union
Point and White Plains R diroad.
PLEADS HOT GUILTY.
“Guilty ? No, I am not guilty. Why,
Albert Cox knows this whole story as
well u I do.”
“Did he ever see any of the notes?”
“See them ? I should say he did
Why be went to the Porters with me
not long ago and she signed a note for
$3 590, which he said be could have
discounted. Cox afterwards returned
the note to me, saying he was a little
afraid to have anything to do with it.”
“Did Colonel Cox see Mrs. Porter
sign this $3,500 nite?”
“See it? Certainly.”
Hill was asked if he could establish
anything at a trial if he ever stood one.
“I can establish ray right to Mrs. Por
ter’s endorsement by Albert Cox, Henry
powers and others. Henry Powers got
from her an endorsed note for $1,300,
the first money I ever received on her

“What about the other notes signed
in her name by your hanl?”
“She gave me authority to go to Mr.
Thornton, of the Neal Loan and Bank
ing Company, to increase my loans
from $3,500 to $10,600. Thornton said
he thought he oonld give me the money
in a short while.”
Mr. Thornton’s card says he never
bad any transaction with you. Is that
true?”
“It is true enough to be ridiculously
absurl, that’s all. He has been to my
sisore forty times or more and I have
been in his office repeatedly. Why,
deposited there for a long time and his
books will show it.
HE SIGNED MRS. PORTBB’s NAME.
Did you sign Mrs. Porter’s name to
the Neal bank notes?”
“Yes, and ths hank took the notes on
the word of John M. Robinson. You
must know that this same bank had al
ready held the first one year negotiated
through Henry Powers. Powers went
to Mrs. Porter to verify this note and I
think he will ao testify ”
“How many people ever went to Mtb.
Porter to verify signatures?”
“Well, there is Peter- Clarke, Albert
Cox, Henry Powers, Colonel Echols
and Bellman, of Monroe, Ga.”
“What ia the actual cause of your
down-fall?”
“That is a hard question and yet one
easily answered in part. Financially
Tolleaon, Collins and others who
charged me 100 per cent, a month are
the prime causes of all my tro ubles. It
wsa interest charges alone that ate me
up and put my nose on the grindstone.
But for that I would have been able to
keep matters quiet and meet my notes.
Powers refused to take more notes for
lack of funds, so be said.”
“Have you anyth!* g else to say?”
■‘Nothing. What more can I or could
Isaj? If the law requires me I shall
return to Atlanta and shall reserve
nothing.”
“Have you made any denials about
signing her name ?”
None whatever. I have never denied
signing her name to some notes, bat
always with her knowledge.”
“Will you state that no one was ever
signed without her authority ?”
“No, I cannot say that, bnt I will
say that she gave me the right to sign
for any amonnt that would make my
business aauoceis- Why, only three
days before I left Colonel Echoli in
formed me that she had consented to
join him and Mrs. Cany and sign
papers for $25,COO and I left with him
the three papers for $3,000 each, which
Mrs. Porter signed in my presmse.
Under all the oircumstanoea that sur
round this case I cannot understand
how any earthly influence would cause
Mrs. Porter to desert me now.”
Continuing about his history and
affairs. Hill said Colonel Echols never
put one dollar in the Wilson Whisky
Company, and though be did endorse
some notes with Mrs. Porter, it was a
known fact that no money could have
been obtained on hi* individual signa
ture, as he owns no property individu
ally. On the contrary, be obtained at
various times about $600 by chcoka that
begavaand cash obtained from the
store.
After a pause Hill said: “In all my
business matters W. E. Hill,my cousin,
has been loyal and faithfnl to me, I
consider that the store and all that 1
left should go to him and the Porters ”
UK a Q-jIKG TO HIS GBsVU.
How do yon feel now about going
back to Atlanta?”
As I said yesterday, I feel that it
would be like going to my grave, hut
am yonng and have oapacity and the
hope of years, and if permitted to over
come this great calamity it will teach
me a great les<on morally and financi
ally, and I oonld only contemplate a
voluntary return through soma change
do not now foresee. I can only say
in conclusion that I shall follow the
aw. These officers have been kind to
me, unusually so, and I shall do all
that is required, but 1 never want to
see Atlanta again.”
WILL FACE THB SHOT GUNS.
“I’ll faoe a wagon load of shot guns
if I am taken to Atlanta. I shall teli
the whole truth, no matter who goes
down.”
MILL GET ON HIS MDSCLK.
“I will Moure my release and then
fight every one who wants to Bee me
dead or jailed.”
When I reaoh Atlanta,” he says,
'let my enemies beware, for L will
make things hot.”
H' W HE WAS ABBKTBD.
His arrest was the result of careful
detective work by Detectives Ritcbe
and Dully, continuing through three
days. While watching Bob Lsmpkin’s
saloon here they engaged in a difficulty
with Lampkin, who pulled a pistol and
baoked them out of his plane. This
assured them that Lampkin knew Hill’s
location. Hill was located by Chief
Connolly through Ed Hill, whom Tay-
loy says Bent telegrams to Wink Tay
lor, promising to make efforts to settle
the case.

Gams of Bass
Tuesday,
Bali for
The most novel and entertaining
game of base ball yet witnessed in
Athens will be that of next Tuesday
afternoon.
The “Fata” will cram bate with the
‘•Leans” and it will be a fight to the
finish. The “Fats” are the heavy
weights of course, but the “Leans”
claim to have more stioking forward
and more wind. In any event the
game will be well worth seeing.
Here is the way the teams will march
upon the diamond:
Fats—W. M. Pittman, J. W. Wier,
C. w. Baldwin, J. C. Geiger, H. Cohen,
C. J. O’Farrell, A. G, Elder, J. A.
Pitner, and T. S. Methvin.
Loams—Jack F. Jackson, B. H.
Noble, R.C. Orr, J. L. Arnold, J. P.
Foster, J. H Stone, John Griffith, W.
F. Baxter, and W. F. Dorsey.
There will be a lean umpire and a tat
referee and a m:dium-sizid scorer. Fat
men will be compelled to run hues
without substitutes and lean mao will
not be exoused from hatting.
The game promises to be exciting
from start to finish.

Owing to the great demand for tick

that this action ia necessary.
