PEABODY NORMAL.
Georgia Miss Who Couldn't Qualify
Because She Was Sixteen.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. PA peculiar
state of affairs has developed regarding
the recent appointment of Miss Florence
Glenn of Macon to one of the twenty-five
scholarships allotted to Georgia in the
Peabody Normal Institute at Nashville.
Miss Glenn bore the strongest indorse-
ments, inchding Mayor Price and other
prominent Maconites: as to character
and fitness; but it seems that her age
was suppressed.
NONE ADMITTED UNDER SEVENTEEN.
The rules of the institute provide that
no one is eligible to the svate scholarship
under the age Of II years. Miss Glenn,
it now appears, is but 1 g. Commissioner
Bradwell was ignorant of this fact
when he made the appointment,
but when the young lady presented her
self at the normal college several days
ago for admission the president made an
Investigation of her age. AS a result
Miss Glenn was refused. She returned
to her home in Macon, and to-day Commits
sioner Bradwell was notified to make
another appointment. Miss Glenn is re-
ported to be a very bright young lady and
would doubtless have made a creditable
record at the normal college had her
youthful appearance not excited the sus-
picion which resulted in her rejection

ANT1.ouTRAaE ASSOCIATION
A District Convention TO Be Held at
Waycross.

Waycros, Ga, Sept. 21.-The origina-
tors of the Association for the Suppress
sion OF Outrages and Lynchings have de-
cided upon calling a district convention to
be held in this city a week prior TO the date
set for the state convention. and which
viii be held at Macon, Ga, oct. H.
The district convention is intended TO be
preparatory to the work of the state CON
vention. The idea of holding another
convention here before the meeting at
Macon came about this way:
The meeting held here some few
weeks ago by the representative colored
citizens of this place was only local
affair. The committee on resolutions
failed to see the importance of holding a
county or district convention at that
time, and passed a resolution that state
convention be called to meet at Macon in
October. Circulars were sent TO the
representative cOlOred peOpleof the state,
explaining the objects Of the association
and Of the proposed state convention, and
urging them to attend the meeting of the
state convention. Out of the hundreds Of
replies received. only twenty-five have
agreed TO attend. This, however, has not
discouraged the leaders They have con
Guided that they made great mistake IN
not first calling a district convention and
leaving the matter OF calling state con
vention to that body. Rev. Watts, chair
man Of the associa ton, was seen to-day.
He is satisfied that a district convention
will awaken the people of this section to
a sense Of their duty in regard to out
RACES and lynchings, and thatit will add
influence to the cause Rev. Watts said
that the leaders of the movement were
very grateful to the press of the state,
and especially to the MORNING News, for
the many kind editorials on the action of
the coloI'ed people here in getting up the

Dtspensary Minions Dumfounded to
Find Uncle Sam in Possession.
Charleston, Sept. 2l.-Uncle Sam took
a hand to-day in the dispensary war now
raging here, and the internal revenue de-
partment is tonight master Of the situa-
tion. On Tuesday last the state consta-
bles arrested Jas. f. Edgerton, agent Of
the Clyde line of New York and Charles
ton steamships, on the charge of bringing
liquor into the state against the dispen-
sary law. The liquor in question con-
sisted of thirteen barrels labeled pepper
sauce, etc, and suspected Of containing
liquor for the blind tigers in Charleston
Inc constabulary attempted to seize the
stun, but did not have the papers, aud
so the be- rrels remained in the custody of
the steamships agents.
THE WARRANT ISSUED.
To-day the constabulary received their
warrant of seizure, and proceeded to
serve 1t, but were surprised on their ar
rival 10 find the thirteen barrels in the
custody Of deputy internal revenue col
lectOf. The goods were seized under sec
ton 3, 449, revised statutes, which contis-
Gates all spirituous or fermented liquors
or wines, which shall be found under any
other than the proper name or brand
known to the trade
There are now two claimants for the
goods in the field, the state and the
federal government, and both mean to
fight for the prize.
UNCLE SAM HAS THE BARRELS.
In the meantime the thirteen barrels
are in the possession Of the federal gov
ernment. Their contents will be exam
med tomorrow. Those who know Gov.
1ilman are confident that he will direct
his constables to seize the property in
spite of its being in possession of the rev.
