The closing of Weber pond by ice
will be followed within q short time
by q considerable amount of activity
on the part of the Webber Pond Ice
Trust. and it is probable that r.ore
ice will be housed on the shores of
he pond this winter than ever before
since that sheet of water became the
home of a summer colony. Originally
the trust was composed of three COM
panies. the Turtle Creek Ice Co, E.
s. Hall of Augusta, president, the In,
dependent Ice Co.. c. f. Sturtevant OF
Augusta, president, and the Morrill, &
Doliiver Ice Co, II. l.. Morrill, OF Au-
gusta, president. but this year two
more companies have been absorbed,
the Bungalow Ice Co., j. D. Newman
of Augusta, president. and the White
Cloud Ice Co, +. l.. Genthner of Au-
gusta president. and this is the rea-
son for the supposition regarding the
increased cut of ice The amount of
capital stock Of the trust is not given
because of the complications which
might arise on account of taxation
should that feature become known. but
the fact that each of the individual
companies of the trust will cut at least
20 tons Of ice will show that the trust
does business on no small scale. The
ice at the pond is now from 8 to s
inches III thickness and of fine quality.
President Hall of the Turtle Creek Co.
said Saturday that he hoped to secure
the services of the Yeaten boys to
house his ice and that he felt conf
dent that his hopes We're shared by
the other members of the trust.

While Dollver is especially eloquent

has the unusual faculty of stirring
his hearers to the highest pitch OF en-
thusiasm when speaking on any sub

An example OF his great versatility
and wonderful sway over audiences
was shown when he spoke before the
Southern Methodist General Confer

speech as follows:
1.-THE Hon. Mr. Delivers speech

unique and thrilling address. His
subject was Organic Union Before
him sat stalwarts of Southern Meth

And yet so excellent was the orator s

gave him and his message such an
enthusiastic reception as it has seldom
given to any man. Like Dewey, ne

furnishing this house with the best and
most up-tO-date artists on the vaude
vile stage at the present time. The
"Independent' controls the booking for
the principal theatres in the largest
cities all over the country and bigger
salaries are paid to their artists than
to those of any other company in the
booking business: consequently the
various attractions sent out through
this influential concern are the newest
and best comedy entertainers on the
road. Miss May Macdonald, from the
engaged by Mr. Morrill, for the first
three days of this week and her fine
singing and "yoddling" act that cam
not be surpassed wins great applause
wherever she appears. Miss Mac
Donalds selections are delightfully."-
rendered with immense range and
power and in a voice unequalled in
pure quality of tone. The following
motion pictures have been secured for
exhibition at the Comique today and
all are excellent subjects: The In
dian Runners Romance, Elastic
Transformation" Two Lovers and a
Coquette, why Jones vas Arrested"
In the Days of the Noblemen" and
"Tribulations.' Emile Chevriel, a
comedy French violinist, has one of the
best acts that has ever been shown in
this city and will be at the Comique
the first three days of this week.
Miss Hattie Coles sweet voice will
be heard in a new song finely illus
trated and Morril's Orchestra will
provide several pleasing musical num-
bers on one of the most attractive
programs that has yet been offered the
patrons of the Comique. Ladies should
