The Aberdeen Base Ball Club and the
management Of Athletic, Park seem to be
unable to agree on terms for the use Of
the park, and unless an agreement is
reached there will be no base ball at
Aberdeen this season, it being now too
late to fit up new grounds. The club
offers $3.50 for the grounds for IL months
from April Is. the $3.50 paid for the
game played Sunday before last to be
counted as part Of the rent, while the
management wants $3.50 for liz
months, or until April /, 1905. The differ
ence between them amounts to- $57.l5,
$lS.75 ,one-half a months rent, and the
$3s. 40 already paid, Itis believed this
difference could be- easily raised among
the fans, rather than see the national
game barred 'odt 81 Aberdeen for the

WAYCROSS NEWS.

Waycross, Ga, Jan. 13.-Mr.- D. A.
Williams has announced himself a
candidate for treasurer of Ware coun-
ty, subject to the Democratic primary,
to be called later.
Waycross secures another enterprise
in the shape of a big planning mill and
dry kiln. On Albany avenue this
morning dirt was broken for the new
concern, which is to be the property
of Mr.. George w. Gray. one of the
best known and most successful lum-
bermen in South Georgia. The mill
and dry kiln Will be erected on the old
site formerly used by the old ice COM
pany of Johnson, Youmans & Co., just
west of the general offices of the At
lantic and Birmingham Railroad. Mr..
Gray purchased this lot from the Sa-
tilla Manufacturing Company. This
big new enterprise is to be erected at
a cost of $4,000. and will have a ca
pacity of dressing 10000 feet Of lumber
per day. Mr.. Gray recently disposed
of his interest in the Mallett-Gray
Lumber Company of Albany, in order
to engage in this new business at Way
cross, where he has a splendid home,
and where his family has been living
for several years.
A small negro boy threw rock into

however. The negro's mother was in

sound thrashing to her boy, which she
did to the satisfaction of all present.

THE CUMBERLAND LEAVES
SAVANNAH FOR BRUNSWICK
Dredse Has Secured Depth of Nineteen Feet al
Mean Low Water on Tybee Knoll

The big sea- going suction dredge
Cumberland has been ordered to Bruns-
wick, and yesterday left Savannah
harbor for that place. The dredge was
ordered away by Col. James b. Quinn
division chief of United States engi-
neers, owing to the fact that the APP
preparation for the work being done
by the Cumberland was exhausted. In
all $1,000 has been spent on the work,
and nearly 10000 cubic yards of earth
removed from Tybee Knoll.
The Cumberland has been actually
engaged in work for scarcely two
months. and for nearly all of this time
she has been handicapped by the
breaks which were constantly occur
ring. In spite of this, she has done
fairly good work and has deepened
the water at the knoll to between 1917
to 10 feet at mean low water This
makes the channel practically the same
depth at the knoll as on the bar.
The object of the dredging was to
secure channel of a depth of 2S feet
at high water. In order to accomplish
this the channel would have to be q
feet at mean low water, so that at
least two feet will have to be added to
the depth before the work is complete
The Cumberland has increased the
former depth about one and one-half
feet.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-01-14

1t is probable that the channel at
the knoll will not fill up again until
the dredge which is now being es-
pecially built fOr1 Savannah harbor will
have been completed. In case it should,
called, if the necessary money can be
secured. Brunswick is in Col. Quinn's
division, and the boat is. therefore,
st:ll subject to his orders.
The cost of the dredging, including
the repairs to the Cumberland, which
were almost constantly going on, was
1857 cents per cubic yard. This is a
slight saving over the usual cost of
dredging, which averages 1902 cents
per cubic yard. Had the Cumberland
been able to do the work of which she
is capable, and had the many acct
dents not occurred the work could have
been done at cost of or cents per
cubic yard. Under these conditions it
is probable that the water at the knoll
could have been deepened to q feet at
mean low water on the $4,000 appropri-
alton at the disposal of Col. Quinn.
In his report on the Cumberland Col.
Quinn characterized her as white ele-
phant," on the ground that she had
cost so much for repairs that the work
done was practically as expensive as
the less modern and cheaper built
dredges. The pumps have been con-
stantly breaking and the rudder also
broke. These repairs were constantly
eating into the appropriation, and it
was all used before the work at Ty-
bee had been completed.

COAT OF PAINT GIVEN
THE TELFAIR ACADEMY

The Telfair Academy of Arts and
Sciences building has been given a new
coat of paint which adds greatly to its
appearance. In the last year the I'M
painted patches in the walls of the
building made the building little I'M
slightly, but the work of repainting was
Intentionally delayed for year, so as
TO give the stucco ample time to dry.
and thus make the work more endur-
ing.
These improvements have been made
under the direction of Director Brandt,
and like all that that gentleman has
done for the academy. are well done.
II will be remembered that under the
conditions of the beQuest of the late
Mrs. Telfair, who gave her residence
for the academy and endowed the in
stitution, the appearance of the build
ing has to be preserved as it was when
she occupied it. hence the color it is
painted, which is chrome or yellow.

PROMINENT TAR HEEL
POLITICIAN HERE.
Hon. Geo. L. Morton, who May Be
North Cardinals Next Governor.

Hon. Geo. l.. Morton, who May BE
North Cardinals Next Governor.
State Senator George L. Morton of
Wilmington, n. c.. who may be the
next Governor of the Tar Heel State,
is spending a few days at the De Soto
with a party of friends. He is one of
the best known men in North Carolina,
and has been prominent in Democratic
circles for a number of years.
Senator Morton has not announced
his candidacy for the gubernatorial
nomination, as the present chief exec
utive, Gov. Aycock, halls from the
Eastern part of the state, and the
nomination of his successor is conced-
ed to the Democrats of the Western
part of the state, but on account of
the bitter fight that is now on between
the half dozen candidates in that Sec
ton, it has been predicted that all the
candidates may get together at the
convention and agree to accept Sena-
tor Morton as a suitable compromise
candidate. Senator Morton's friends
declare that if it were not for the
time-honored custom in the state to
allow the two sections to alternate in
naming the candidate for Governor,
that the New Hanover senator would
be a favorite for the nomination this
year. He is a young man and extreme
~ popular among the younger element
of the Democracy of that state.
A close friend of Senator Morton, in
speaking of the gubernatorial situa-
ton in the Old North State, said:
Senator Morton is in no sense a
candidate for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation in North Carolina, and l know
it to be fact that he is doing all in
his power to bring about the nomina-
ton of one of the candidates from the
western portion of the state. But there
is an element among the young Demo-
Gratis of the state who will insist on
his nomination without regard to the
established precedent of allowing the
two sections of the state to alternate
in naming the gubernatorial candidate.
1T is now apparent that there is
going to be a dead lock in the state
convention, as the six avowed candt-
dates are making a very hard fight,
and the result is going to be the nomi-
nation of a dark horse, and in this
case George L. Merton will be the
lucky man. The reason for this is
the fact that he is d personal friend
of each candidate, and any one Of
them would be willing to bring about
his nomination when they find that it
is impossible for them to land the COW
eted prize They all look at the mat
ter in the light that if Morton is NOM
mated now the office will be coming
to a western man at the expiration of
his term of office, and each candidate
now in the race thinks that possibly
he could then secure the nomination.
Yes, if l were a betting man,
would pick George Morton as a win
ner, and the odds would not have to
be very heavy either"

ARMENIAN LECTURED
ON CONDITIONS IN EAST.
Apprecintive Audience Greeted Mr..
kalIejian at Grace Church.


kallejian at Grace Church.
A fair sized and appreciative audi
ence assembled at Grace Methodist
Church last night to listen to the lee
ture of Mr. Shadrack Stephen Kalle-
jan on the conditions in the Far
East. Mr. Kallejian is an Armenian
by birth and for a number of years
taught school in that country. He has
been educated in this country and
speaks English fluently.
His lecture was in the nature of \
missionary talk, but touched at differ
ent times on political conditions. But
slight reference was made to the
trouble brewing between Russia and
Japan, though the speaker showed by
what few remarks he made on the
subject. that his sympathies were
strongly with Japan.
The customs of the Armenians were
clearly brought out and the need of
Christian influences among them and
their enemies. the Turks, were elabor-
ated upon. Mr.. Kallejian spoke with
great fervor against the constantly
recurring Turkish atrocities and re-
ferred feelingly to the Harpoot
slaughter His father was one of the
victims of that massacre.
I The lecture was interesting from
start to finish and the speaker had no
difficulty in holding the close atten-
ton of his audience throughout. He
will lecture tonight at Epworth Meth
odist Church. To-night's address
Will also deal with conditions in the
Far East though it will be of a differ
ent nature from last nights lecture.

POINTS TO ANOTHER.
Evidence at Thomasson Inquest Tends
to Exonerate Higgins.

Peoria. Ill. Oct. 22.-some unknown,
person may have inflicted the injuries
upon Mrs. Nellie Thomasson, from
which she died, according to friends of
young Higgins who is under arrest
charged with the crime. The evidence
brought out at the coroner's inquest
showed that the woman walked to the
train at the station in this city with
but slight assistance from one of the
employees of the road and that when
she arrived at Lacon, she summoned a
hack and made her way to the home
of her mother, several blocks away
without assistance She did not sum
mon a physician until 16 hours later,
and these facts tend to prove, it is as
serted, that Mrs. Fhonnasso was not
fatally hurt by young Higgins but by
some one else after she left the depot
where she had encountered Higgins
and his sister.
The name of a man with whom Mrs.
ThomaSSon was intimate and who is
known to have objected to her reIa-
tions with Higgins, senior, is mention
ed in this connection. but so, far there
has been no positive evidence against
him.
When it became known that the
grand jury had recommended that Hig-
gins be held for murder there was
remarkable demonstration on the part
of his friends who focked to his as
SiSfance.
