MISS NELLIE coMER DIES.
Was One of the Most Popular Young
 Ladies of EufauIa.

Eufaua, July 17.-(Special.)-M Nellie Conner, young daughter of Col and Mrs. G. l.. Conner, died at the home of her parents on Randolph street this morning at o'clock after long illness from Q complication of diseases. The death of this most beautiful and cultured young woman was a sad and almost irrecon- cilable event. She was regarded by all who knew her as one of the sweetest and most lovable of her sex and was seized with the ravages of a maddened and in- satiable disease just in the bloom of her young womanhood. For year or longer Miss Conner sought the health-giving breezes of Colorado, but despite all that atmosphere and medical skill could do she did not improve and returned home to be among those who were near and dear to her Miss Conner came from one of the most distinguished families of the state, being a direct lineage of the Short CTS and STlhorntons and was one who would have no doubt sustained the rep utation of those distinguished families for brilliancy of intellect and culture of high and unusual order. She is sur vived by her parents and grandmother. Mrs. M. B. Thornton, of this city, be- sides several brothers and sisters and other more distant relatives and friends. The hour for the funeral has not yet been named but will occur some time tomor- row from the First Baptist church of which she was a lifelong member.

SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY ADDS
 AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT

Greensboro, July T-(Special)-The Southern university has purchased from Mrs. Leila J. Otis about 40 acres of land lying immediately south of and adjacent to It's present campus. It proposes to To- cate on this land an experimental farm, which will be run under the personal di- rection of an United States government expert. Students attending the Southern university in future will have an oppor tunity to learn scientific farming if they care to do so, and 1t is the purpose of the university authorities to offer to those students who wish 1t an opportunity to labor on this farm, paying them for their labor by the hour This will be the means of helping worthy young men to work their way through school, and the experimental farm cannot help but be an object lesson of much benefit to the farmers in this section. An agricultural course at the Southern university will not be a part of its curriculum, and yet its addition is considered a very decided advance by this institution.
 The weather during the past week has been most favorable for an improve ment in the crops. While considerable improvement is apparent, and the people are decidedly more hopeful over the out look, there is still room for a betterment of conditions.

May Bore for Gas.

Gadsden, July Especial. )-Par- ties from Beaumont, Tex, are making inquiries in regard to the story that a good flow of gas was struck here some years ago when a test oil well was put down. Shortly after the war well was put down in Owls Hollow, a short distance from the city, and the old inhabitants insist that a strong flow of gas was found. As gas at that time was not considered valuable the well was abandoned. The report of the government geologist shows that oil and gas exist here and the Texas men are interesting themselves and may decide to come here and put down another well.

both of the condition of affa--s outside

hosting engines. and will be used in
hosting into position the granite blocks
which will tc used in the construction
of the extension to the two wings of

the addition is wen along. The whole
Of the upper terrace has been taken
down about five feet, some of the earth
being hauled away while the rest has
been used in grading out beyond the

excavation Of the trench at the south

laid the foundation for ono Of the

keep everything moving.
Inside the building operations are
equally active as the work in progress
outside requires that a number Of the
departments at the north and south
ends of the building should move, and
the moving process has already COM
menced. Especially is this noticeable
in the office of the secretary of State
