GALATIANS AT CAMBRIDGE.
They and Their Guns Are the Fea-
ture of the EncamPment.

cambridge, Ga, June 21.-Crowds visit
the encampment every afternoon now.
Every avenue is filled with promenaders
and at every tent there seems to be
reception. The most prominent feature OF
the encampment will be a drill by the
Chatham Artillery every day at p. m
with the different guns they have with
them. The two brass cannon, captured at
Yorktown in 1871, and presented by Gen.
Washington to the company. are always
surrounded by a crowd of admirers, and
are inspected with much interest by all
The two modern quick-hring breech-load-
ing guns, and the Calling gun, are also
an attraction of the encampment The
buttons of the Chatham Artillery are
much sought after. and the supply ran
short of the demand. Capt. George z.
Walker, Col. T. N. Hopkins and Lieut..
Harry S. Dreese are a trio of old con-
federate veterans, and are the only ones
in the camp to wear the crosses of the
Legion of Honor of Confederate Veter-
ans. Their youthful look and sprightly ac
tivity would, however. deceive anyone,
for they are as energetic and busy as any
in camp.
CAPT Walker speaks very highly GO the
encsmpment, and says the location and
conveniences are better than any he ever
attended. He is charmed with the nat
ural scenery surrounding the camp and
in company with Col Hopkins and Lieut..
Dreese, takes long walks every morning
to enjoy il. There are no mosquitoes, and
the nights are dool, consequently the boys
rest well. All the Chathams are we'll and
seem to be enjoying themselves and max
ing the most of the occasion. Col. Obesr
is expected at noon to-day.
Capt. Harris had the misfortune to &C
cidently break a bone in his right hand
While the wound is very painful, he is
not confined to his room. but still con-
tinues to look after the visitors and see
that they do not want for anything.
Capt. NJ. E. Wilson is securing many
pretty views of the encampment.
The boys seem to be all enjoying them
selves and having lots of fun, as only
soldiers can. Merriment is heard on every
side, and there has been nothing what
ever to mar good feelings of the occa-
sion. A good many of the soldiers are
enjoying themselves fishing In Flint riv-
er, and are tolerably successful in their
sport. There will probably be an excur-
sion on the river next week for those who
would like to take the trip.

this morning Gov. Gambler concluded ms
ARRANGEMENTS for borrowing S90,Wo with
which to pay the school teachers. Inc
money was secured at as low rate OF
interest as was offered in New York, ana
as the Governor said to-day, at the low
est rate at which any state or city In
the country can borrow money without
collateral. The money was secured from
the following banks: Southern Bank of
Savannah. $4,000; Citizens Bank of Sa-
vannah, $4,000; Neal Loan and Banking
Company, Atlanta, $4,000; Atlanta Ma
tional Bank, $4,000, and Fourth National
Bank. Atlanta, $4,000.
Three of these banks, the Citizens
Fourth National and Atlanta National
are not state repositories, and receive no
benefit from the states funds.

Others think the public property fund
will be appropriated to pay interest on

Negro Steals Employers Keys md

Valdosta, Ca June 2.-A daring rob-
berry was committed here last night and
two negro boys are I'm jail. charged wiki

lioeman twice this morning, but escaped
to the swamps beyond the city. where

negroes arrested are a waiter named Jes-
sic Wade, at Mr. ]. b. YARNS boarding
house, and Jim Bacon. a waiter at the
A. V & w. restaurant. The store which
was entered was ]. b. Warns, the entry
being made by keys which Wade stole
at Mr.. Warns house.
Mr. Warn was absent from the city and
left the keys with his wife. Yesterday
the negro waiter saw them and found out
that they were the keys to the store. Dur
ing the day he managed to steal them
and last night he and the other two ne
groes went in the store and carried of
a lot of cigars and other things leaving
the store door open. A policeman found
the door open during the night and re-
ported the burglary. Mrs. Warn looked
for the keys, and they were gone, and
that fact directed suspicion against the
house boy This morning he was arrest
officers started for the other negroes, and
Racon was caught and lodged in jail.
The other one a negro boy named VIII
Jenison, broke to run when he saw the
officers coming and Policeman Chastain
fred at him twice and believes he struck
him. The negro continued TO run for the
swamp, and dogs from McRae's camps
were put on his track, the chase being
kept up most OF the day without effect.
The swamp was 50 full OF water that the
dogs could not keep the trail.
A negro porter named Joe Brown fell
through the elevator shaft at Ousley,
Paine & Co.'S store late yesterday even
ing and truck load Of meal fell on top
of him, but, strange to say, he was not
seriously injured. The negro was unload
ing meal from a car. the elevator being
used as a platform to get into the store.
Some one pulled the elevator up to the
next floor while the negro was loading
his truck, so when he came backing out
of the car with his load of meal he fell
through the shaft to the basement. the
meal and truck landing on top of him.
News was received here last night of
the sudden death of Mr.. Lawrence Dash
err, FIVE miles below the city. He was
sitting up playing with one of his chill
dren, when he fell over and expired in a
moment He had been complaining for
some time but was able to come to the
city this week, and 1t was thought that
he was In his usual health.
The case against C. A. Pyne, who was
fined $3.50 in the City Court Tuesday or

QUITMAN PosTMASTERSHIP.
II. o. Griffin Practically Sure to Get
the appointment.

tnc
Quitman, Ga, June 21.-It is practically
assured that R. A. Griffin, son of the
late postmaster l.. NJ. Griffin. at Quit
man. will succeed his father. Owing to
the Ill health of his father, R. A. Griffin
has conducted the business of the office
for over a year. He is competent in every
respect and his appointment will meet
with the hearty approval of every citi-
zen of the county regardless OF party
Affiliations. Mr.. Griffin to-day received
from the 2ostoffice department blank
bonds to fll out, which seems TO indicate
his appointment. though he has not been
officially notified.
8. c. Saulsby, representing a Chicago
portrait company, was arrested yester-
day at this place for carrying on his
business without license. He was fined
SO by the Mayor, and turned over to
the county authorities to answer to a
similar charge touching a state license.
The Quitman Cotton Mill had ]. b.

under charge of enticing away three
hands by offering higher wages. This
state law has been used very effectively
by the turpentine men in keeping their
hands together. 1t seems TO be meeting
with favor from the cotton mills.
The Board OF Trade has succeeded in
securing special excursion trains for the
July celebration on the Savannah, Flor
