Cadet J. F. White met with an accident
in the chemical laboratory at the col
lege at Lake City Saturday. He was max
ing an experiment in which phosphorous
and sulphuric acid were used. The phos-
phorous caught fire, and in order to
keep the fumes out of the room he car
ried the vessel in which he was making
the experiment to a hood, near by. With
out his knowledge, the hood had been
filled with gas. This caught fire, the
flames gushing out and almost enVelop-

badly burned, but he was speedily cared
for, and no bad results are expected His
eyes sustained no injury. Mr.. White Is
son of Judge White of Live Oak.

ware works at Gainesville continues uC
increase, and new machinery is almost
daily being added to the plant. A ma.
chine for making base ball bats is the
latest addition, and some very fine bats
are now being turned out. The company

employed, and every machine is being rur
to its fullest capacity. Mr.. Pease, the su.
| perintendent, states that the machinery
| for a sawmill, which is to be added Il

| saving of short logs, and will be used
exclusively for the timber used in me
/ factory. About four carloads of choice
| timber are now on hand.
