THE SOUTHERN EDUCATORS.
VIII Meet in Annual Convention at
Columbia To-day.

Columbia, Dec. 25.-Thursday even
ing at $3.50, the great eleventh annual
meeting of the Southern Educational
Association will have opened here. Last
night the prospects for a fine attend
ance at. the gathering this year seemed
much better than they did the day
preceding. The break in the cold wave
that has been prevailing all over the
South and the temperance of the
ideal Sunny South mid winter weather
will have a most wholesome effect
upon the teachers not only of this but
other states, and many who had made
up their minds to stay away are now
wiring asking that good accommoda-
tons be provided for them.
Already quite a number of well
known educators from a distance have
arrived in the city and have spent
Christmas day here with Columbia
friends. Among those who came in
yesterday may be mentioned DR.. Ed
ward S. Sheib of Tulane University.
DR.. Sheib was one of the professors of
the South Carolina University here in
the eighties, teaching pedagogy and ex-
perimental psychology. This is the first
time he has been in Columbia in years.
A number of well-known educators
have already engaged good rooms at
the hotels

TOY CANNON MAINS A BABE.
Infant VIII Probably Die-Columbus
Has Series of Christmas Accidents.

Columbus. Ga, Dec. 25.-Columbus
had its quota of Christmas accidents
to-day. the most serious of which
will probably cost the life Of an IL
months-old baby. This morning Mr..
and Mrs. T. L. Mendenhall were driv-
ing along Tenth avenue. East High
lands. in their buggy when some little
boys nearby discharged a toy cannon.
Mrs. Mendenhall held her child, a lit
tie girl, in her arms and the infant
began TO cry. The parent had no
idea that the child was hurt in any
way until a little later they happened
TO notice that blood was issuing from
it's head. Doctors were summoned and
found that some small round object
had been shot into the infants mead
penetrating the brain. 1t seems that
the cannon was filled with dirt accord
ing to the statement of the boys, and
no doubt the dirt contained the peb-
bic which entered the child's lead. The
infant will in all probability die.
A young man by the name Of Autry,
the son of T. j. Autry thought the
thrown into the street had gone out
and stepped out to examine the cracker
when it exploded. badly burning his
face, and injuring his right eye so
badly that he will probably be blind
in that eye for life.
Milas Smith. a middle-aged white
man, had a big cannon cracker in his
hand, thinking il was a roman candle,
and when ii exploded his hand was
terribly mangled, the thumb being al
most torn off

vALDoSTA'S GOOD CHRISTMAS

strickland Mills i'm Very Prosperous
Condition and Presents Given EN-
pIoyes.
Valdosta, Ga, Dec. 2.-One of the
happiest crowds of Christmas celebra-
tors that has been seen in this section
was at the Methodist Church at the
Strickland Cotton Mills last night
where a Christmas tree was held for
the benefit Of the people here. The
tree was full OF presents and Mr.. B. F.
Strickland supplemented those fur
nished by the people by 200 gifts to be
distributed among those who received
the least number Of presents from the
tree In this. way every one present
received gifts. any many of them very
handsome ones. The tree was mag
nifcent one, cut in some OF the ada
cent bays for the occasion by the
young men. The operatives at the mill
were given two days holiday for
Christmas.
Speaking about the trade in cotton
goods, Mr.. B. F. Strickland said this
morning that his mill was selling all
the goods that il could make, regardless
of the export trade. He has large or
ders on hand from st. Louis, San
and there seems to be a solid demand
in all sections. He was fortunate
enough to buy nearly a years supply
of cotton before the advance. The mills
profit on cotton alone would amount 10
about IS, COO and it is expected that II
will amount to many times that much
after the staple has been woven into
cloth.
The only row that has been reported
here to-day was between two negro
women near the city hall this morning.
They began quarreling with each other
and finally one rushed at the other
like a tigress and stabbed her several
times with a knife, making one very
ugly wound. Both of the women We're

of Col. John r. Hudson was laid to rest
to-day in Pine Grove Cemetery. He

On his return TO his horror ne found his
fathers body lying PROSTATE across
the hearth with his face and
hands buried in the bed Of red hot Goals

ing slowly burning from his body.
The form was lifted as quickly as
possible from the fire. but life was ex-
tinct. The flesh and skin of forehead
and face was burned off, and the fin
gers were crisp.
Col. Hudson always took a lively
interest in matters connected with the
wellbeing Of his county and state. He
was once a prominent Mason, having
been years ago worshipful master of
Rising Star Lodge of this place. In
this capacity he presided at the cere>

POWDER CAN Exploded.
Mike Fry Probably Fatally Injured
while shooting AnViIs.

Valdosta, Ga, Dec. 25.-News was
received here from Stockton this
morning of a terrible accident to Mr..
Mike Fry, of this city, who has been
living for some time with his brother.
Mr.. z. Y Fry, mile from Stockton.
Mr. Fry was out shooting anvils last
night, charging them with powder and
touching them off, making a report like
that of canon. A spark of fire was
left in the hole and when he tried to
charge it again with powder. the can
in which he had two pounds of pow
der, exploded in his. face. burning him
fearfully and probably inflicting fatal
injuries upon him. His mother and
brother-in- Mr.. A. W. Varnedoe,
left here in a buggy just before noon
to go to his bedside. At that hour
he was said to be in a very dangerous
condition, and there was not much
hope of his recovery.

FOLKS PHOSPHATE PLANTS.
What Is Doing in Some of the Flor
ida Phosphate Works.


Mulberry, Fla, Dec. 25.-Mr. Simp-
son, the new superintendent of the
Prairie Pebble Phosphate Company,
has arrived and is now in charge of
the mining operations of that COM
pany's large plant. The company has
one of the most complete and best az
ranged plants in the state. 1t is oper-
ated entirely by electricity. This is the
only plant in this region using cleo
tricity for power.
The Electric Phosphate Company
uses electricity for lighting up the mill
and pits at night. These two plants
make night as light as day around all
their work.
Capt. A. w. Wright of Barlow, Fla,
is building a large phosphate plant,
near Homeland, in this county, to be
operated and lighted by electricity.
Mr.. w. w. Clark, formerly superin-
tendent of the Prairie Pebble Phos-
phate Company, is prospecting neal
here, with view of building phos-
phate plant in the near future.
A number of the phosphate plants
here are considering the advisability
of adopting Texas oil as fuel. Many of
them have consumed all the available
wood within economical hauling dis
lance. Most of the wood now
being used is hauled three to
four miles, and the distance is increas-
ing every year. Fuel constitutes the
larger part of the expense in mining
and drying pebble. Only three of the
land pebble plants are now idle. The
scarcity of freight cars is seriously in
terfering with shipments. The heavy
orange shipments have taken so many
cars North as to make it impossible for
the railroad to furnish cars as fast as
wanted.
Polk county merchants report an I'M
usually good trade this month. This
county has not been in as prosperous
a condition since the freeze of 1895, as
ii is now.

ATLANTA'S QUIET CHRISTMAS.


Farmer-Chief Joiner and Six of
His Men on Docket for Shooting
Firecrnckers.
Atlanta, Dec. 25.-Atlanta spent a
quiet Christmas Day. Peace super
seeded the riotous air of Christmas
Eve, and though the ambulance was in
demand, there were no serious acct
dents. The police had busy day, and
the police station is pretty well
crowded, but up to late hour no
life had been sacrificed to the Christ
mas festivities.
The poor of the city were well cared
for, and everybody seemed to have an
enjoyable day. The Capitol and all the
public buildings of the city were tightly
closed, and everybody but the police
men and street car men took day off.
Among the interesting Christmas
presents was a check for $1,000 sent by
J. B. Maynard, a prominent farmer of
Dalton, to the Orphans Home, at De-
catur. Hundreds of people were fed
by the Salvation Army and other
charitable institutions. The veterans
in the Soldiers Home cheered Justify
as the popping of firecrackers an
nounced the down of day. 1t was the
first Christmas in the home, and they
were served bounteous repast.

WISHES OF MILITARY MEN.
Infantry Want Armory Rent Paid,
While Cavalry Want to Go Into

Atlanta, Dec. 25.-Gov. Gambler is
receiving replies to many letters he
sent out asking military officers how
they want the $4,000 appropriation to
the military spent next. year. Gov.
Gambler says the infantrymen are al
most to a man in favor of having their
armory rent paid, while the cavalry
men want to go into camp. All of the
officers have not yet been heard from
and the chief executive has made no
decision yet as to what he will do. He
is disposed to favor the paying of
armory rent while the fund is so small,
but he intends to leave the matter en-
tirely with the boys"
1t is possible that the infantrymen
will be paid their armory rent, while
the cavalrymen may be given the en-
campment so much desired.
