BAINBRIDGE, GA, July 11.-Our ice fac
tory is in full blast. Ours is the Hobgate
ice machine-ten ton capacity-and the first
one of the kind in the world.
Our cotton compress is going up rapidly
"a large force of men being engaged III the
work of constructing the buildings. These
will be ready by the time the SIX or eight
carloads of the compress and machinery
arrives. Mr.. w. H. Bennett, a prominent
young cotton buyer of Albany and large
stockholder, has been elected manager.
Our electric light buildings are up, the
poles have ali been placed, aud most OF the
wires are in position.
The Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway Company is putting in three miles
of slde-track in cambridge to accommodate
their immense and rapidly increasing bust
ness here, and will also erect a handsome
depot, it is said.
There are great possibilities for both the
Plant system and for cambridge in this
deal. and it is confidently believed that Mr.
Plant and his associates are not oblivious to
them or to our city's great and numerous
advantages.

surd
The law school Is self-sustaining and
almost as fiourishing as in 1861.
There is great lack of Interest in the
literary societies
With the means at hand for next wear it
is feared that the working force will nave
to be reduced.
The isolation Of the university from the
state school system is protested against and

commissioner be made a member of the
board Of trustees
THE BUILDINGS HORRIBLE.
While praising the teachers, the visitors
execrate the buildings, denominating them
bat roosts and owl de1s.
In conclusion. the board insists that the
state should either place the university on
the plane it ought to occupy, or, if it in
tends to pursue the same parsimonious
course as heretofore and treat the univer-
sity as troublesome mendcant then re-
linquiSh control of all its property to the
alumni and friends, and forever discover

figured, he said. Savage and Henderson
were on one side and l was ON the other.
1t was case in which Bill Angel and
Elgutter, the paunbroker figured.
Angel put up watch and in some dispute
arose. When the jury retired it took vote
and Zeke Dinall. a great big slx-footer, was
the only one who held out for an opinion of
his own. The others were aunt in u differ
ent understanding of the case. 1t was on
Friday afternoon that they retired, and
when the supper hour came they declared
that they would agree soon and didn'G want
to eat. Next morning the bailitf asked if
they had agreed

Want any breakfast There was a
sound of scuffle inside and then the reply
came, No
Dinner time came and s. i'll no verdict
Once again the balliff appeared to them
Want your dinner@ lie asked The reply
came little weaker, No; We'll agree soon.
I'VE didn't hold court Saturday after
Moons, 50 the judge sent word that unless
the jury agreed very quickly he would lea ave
and it would be inside the room until Mon
day. The bailiff afterwards said be heard
a hollow groan from the inside and thought

boys A few minutes after thev knocked
at the door and SAID they had agreed
1t turned out later that Zeke Dinell had

Efficiency of the Reporters of the Agri.
cultural Bureau.
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, july 1.-THE
bureau of agriculture has a thorough and
efficient corps of correspondents in every
county, and its crop reports are reliable.
The condition and prospective yield of cot
ton and corn, for the two weeks ending
July l, is the best showing made in wears.
The average comparative per cent. of cot
ton is l05, of corn 104. Reports have been
received from thirty three counties, about
all that grow these two crops, and the
bureau gathers that the corn crop will be
extra large. Cotton, both upland ana sea
island, is in excellent condition and fruiting
nicely. The yield will be much larger than
last year, unless cut off by storms, caterpLl-
lars, ETC., later i'll the season.

TURNER AT CAMBRIDGE.
He Makes an Interesting Speech to
Democrats and Alliancemen.

He Makes an Interesting Speech to
Democrats and Alliancemen.
BAINBRIDGE, GA, July 11.-Congress-
man Turner, on the invitation of leading
democrats. addressed a large meeti & here
yesterday. The time was most suspicious sly
chosen, for it was the day for the assem-
bling in tie city Of the delegates of all the
sub alliances in the county TO attend 10 i'm
portant secret work Of the order and to elect
officers for the next ensuing year. In con-
sequence fully 100 representative men of
the county were present when Mr.. Turner
mounted a ia 70 under the outrageous
shades of our magnificent oaks.
In a few brief sentences he told them why
he was here, and proceeded at once to go to
the core of his subjects, viz: the proposed
sub-treasury scheme, and the reasons OF his
opposition thereto; Of the labors of the
democratic minority in congress for the
past ten years for measures of relief for
which we of the south and the agricultural
classes everywhere have sighed ever since
the war; of the methods employed by the
Republican party to defeat all such; AMI of
the revolutionary tactics finally re-
sorted to by that party through such
| traders as Mr.. Reed. He clearly demon
strated the unconstitutionality of the sub
treasury scheme. and the danger to all
bus iness its enactment would entail by
reason of the flooding of the country with
an inflated currency not founded upon a
specie basis, a currency worth only eighty
cents on the dollar, yet made a legal to- der
for all dues, public and private. Numbers
of other reasons equally as convincing were
adduced, which caused all who heard him
to think on this subject in spots where they
had never thought before.
WHAT MR.. TURNER PROPOSES
is far more feasible, and would be far
more effective as measure of relief to the
| toiling massest an the sub-treasury scheme
viz: The repeal Of the old time prohibi-
tory banking act, and TIE rehabilitation of
the old state banking laws, with state bonds
and specie as a basis for state bank bills as
| an additional medium of circulation. He
showed how such currency would remain
in local circulation fer the Improvement
and development of the home country
when not actively employed in moving the
crops of the country, and how it won be
in the hands of, and controlled by, our owa
| people, and not in the hands OF federal APP
poiutees, whose every interest and policy
would be opposed to ours.
As a calm, clear, logical and statesman
| like speech it was pronounced by all one Of
| the best they had ever heard and alliance
men who heard him went home to think as
they have not thought for long time. He
| spoke little more than an hour and half
and left for home on the 4:l0 o'clock train.

NEWMAN, GA, July 11.-Miss Genevieve
Greene. who shot aud instantly killed her
self with a Smith & Wesson pistol
Wednesday afternoon, in the law Office Of
Wilcoxon & Wright, an account of which
was published in the dispatches of the
MORNING News, was an attractive and ac-
complished young lady, and the cause of
her rash act is shrouded in mystery.
Shortly after this occurrence she was re-
moved to the Virginia hotel, where the cor
oner held an inquest, the verdict of the
jury being that she came to her death by
her own hand
HER RELATIVES NOTIFIED.
t<er relatives were telegraphed the sad
news, but no answer has yet been received,
except from Mr.. Wood, who arrived yes
terday morning. be Is cousin, and resides
at West Point, Ga.
Your correspondent interviewed MIR.
Wood. He stated that the young lady
came from Vermont to West Point, Ga,
last December, and spent some lime with
his family at West Point. During her visit
she gave out lessons, though she did this
more for pleasure than for profit, as her
parents were quite wealthy. After spend
ing some months in West Point, she received
to Salt Springs and see as much of the south
as possible, and that she would send her
money regularly.
THE VISIT TO NEWMAN
She heard of Newman and seems to have
decided to visit this place instead of going
to Salt Springs. She registered here on
June 81. and had been here ever since.
During her visit she was quite favorite in
society and the recipient of much attention.
Mr.. Wood could give no clue to the tragedy
save the fact that she had been unfortunate
in a love affair, and had told a friend she
had never been the same girl since The
common opinion here is that she committed
suicide on account of financial embarrass
ment, but the whole affair is shrouded in
mystery. Mr.. Wood is an intelligent and
pleasant gentleman, and deeply regrets the
sad occurrence. He took the remains TO
West Point Wednesday afternoon for inter
ment.

CITY WATER CONTAMINATED.
An Unlooked-for Result of the on Mill
Fire Near tlanta.

ATLANTA, GA, July 1.-THE cotton
seed oil mill destroyed here by fire yester-
day morning was located on the water shed
of the lake whence the city water
works are supplied. Over 100000 gallons
of Gil ran down the incline toward the lake,
aud the upper section is SO thlckly covered
to-day that oil can be SKINNED from the
top OF the basin by the bucket full. This
is bad enough, but greater apprehension
arises from the fact hat G000 pounds
OF caustic soda stored in the
mill also made its escape to the
soil of the watershed and is almost certain
to find Its way into the lake. This intensely
poisonous substance is used for burning the
iron scales from the interior of boilers, and
1t is merely question of whether or not
there Is water enough in the basin to dilute
1t to harmless state. The weather is ex-
ceedingly low at present and no one seems
to know. The surface f the lake is being
watched for dead fish. Their appearance on
the top Of the water will be the signal for a
general scare. A big rain is wished for 10
