Such a faculty, and every mem

make each succeeding year better
than its predecessor.
FOUND THE GOLD.
A Woman Told Where The Gold
Bars From The Carson Mint Were.
Carson, Nev., June 6. —The SBO,-
OK) in gold bars stolen from the
Carson mint was recovered yester
day in a most unexpected manner, (
when the government officers dug
up the treasure in a woodshed of
William Pickler’s, an employe in
the melters and refiners’ depart
ment. w r ho had not even been sub- (
pected. ]
Pickier was betrayed by a worn- (
an with whom he has been living j
and whom he had abused. She cam- ;
to the officers Monday night and
told tnem that she would soon dis
close the hiding place of the mis
sing bullion.
True to her promise, she ap
peared and gave minute directions
for digging in one corner of Pick
ier's woodshed. There the bars of
gold were unearthed, just s they
had been stolen from the mint.
This discovery bears out theca e
which the government experts h.- <1
■ formulated again t the employes
in this department. If any o e of
the gang turns state’s evidence the
whole truth will come out.
First Methodists.
At, the advertised hour this
morning the Methodists special
bearing the children of the First
Methodist School, and many oi
the members of the First Methodist
and their friends left the “Syca
mores” and steamed away for
Chickamauga.
Quite a number of belated peo
ple “got left” and while they had
a picnic dinner at home they miss
ed and ideal day at Chickamauga-
A big crowd went up to tlm bat
tit field and have doubtless spent a
long to be remembered day.

THE HUSTLER OF ROME.
<
SAM NOBLE
The Hill City Cadets Headed The
Line of March Yesterday
MANY ROMANS PRESENT
To do Reverence to the name
of the great Roman who
did so much for this
City before found
ing Anniston W
t—
Anniston, Ala., June 6.—The
peop eof this thriving city did
honor and reverence to the found
er of Anniston yesterday in the
unveiling of the monument erected
to the memory of Mr. Sam Noble.
The day dawned with heavy
clouds mantling the heauens, hut
as lo urs passed they floated avay
and by 2 o’clock after a refreshing
shower, the skies became clear.
At 3:30 o'clock the procession
was formed andTharched through
the principal streets until the
monument was reached. After a
beautiful prayer by Rev. F. P. Cul
ver, the little granddaughter of
Samuel Noble touched the cord
which released the veil hiding the
statue.
In a few well chosen words the
presentation was made by Mr. D.
C. Blackwell, and in accepting the
monument in behalf of the city,
Mayor Hight expressed the grate
ful thanks of the people.
After the monument had been
tastily deccrated by young ladies
and the memorial poem had been
read by Miss Christine Cooke, Hon
John M. Caldwell, orator of the
day was introduced.
His eulogy of Mr. Noble was
filled with the sweetness of a fel
low affection and born of a heart J
that loved him dearly. One of the
most beautiful of his passages was
in reference to the Noble Institute,
founded for girls, by Sam Noble.
Mr. Caldwell said :
“The rapidly written volumes
recording the swift progress of
Alabama in the march of her man
ifold industries might become so
numerous and her manufacturing
methods so changed, that little
would be said of our fellow citizen,
but yonder monument that glis
tens in the sunlight of philosophy
and art and science will outlast
all the others. The outer walls
may crumble, as will the granite
under the corroding and consum
ing touch of time’s relentless and
destroying hand, but the women
who there have leen and yet will
be equipped for noble and use
ful careers, will by their lives and
examples, their work and influ
ence, build another monument,
the perfect and complete glory of
which eternity alone can unveil.”
The founding of Anniston may
be said to date from the organiza
tion of the Woodstock Iron Com
pany, in 1872, but it was prior to
this that Mr. Sam Noble, then an
iron producer of Rome, Ga., while
in search of a good quality of iron,
began prospecting in Calhoun
County, Alabama.
Here he discovered the spot
where this city now raises its
head. Ha saw that nature had
sored a vast amount of mineral
I weatlh in these mountains. Mr.
Noble at once purchased 2,(XX) acres
of land and som after the Wood
stock In n Company was organiz
ed.
Every dollar this company made
was put into churches, schools
storehouses and homes, and today
there is no city in the South that
can show such magnificent edifices
as the churches of AnniSton. An
niston was formally opened to the
country as a city in 1883, through
a letter written by the lamented
I Henry W. Grady, which is still
fresh in the minds of the people. ,
The military part Os yesterday s

Betides the half dozen Alsbams,
oompsnicß that were in line of
march, the Hill City Cadets, one
ofGeorgii’s moat aohlierly com
msmts, a company es young Ro
mans who knew Mr Noble w-re a
conspicuous body.
( The Cadets were commanded by
Capt. Henry Stewart, as hand
some and soldierly looking young
officer as ever wore a sword. The
Romans were put « n the right of
the formation and made a gallant
appearance at the head of the col
|umn. Lieutenant “Bob” William
son, of the Cadets was made Ad
jutant of the regiment and under
h s militarv eve the formation was

ly as i directed by a veteran West
Pointer.
Many other Romans, including
n most excellent Band, were in the
city to do homage to the Memory
of Sam Noble.

Milledgeville, Ga., June 6. —The
faculty of the Georgia Normal and
Industrial college had a meeting
last night and passed the follow
ing resolutions in regard to the
late affair at the college :

the accounts in our state papers of

dents in advancing the future wel
fare of this institution already so
