TnoMASViLLE, Ga. f March 23.--
Thoicasville, the metropolis of south
Georgia, is uo questionably the liveliest
end most progressive smell city in the
entire south.
It is Atlanta, and io some respects,
more then Atlanta, on e »mell scale.
Although Thomasville is e town of
only five thousand permanent inhabi
tants it is more of e city than the ma
jority of places containing from twenty
to thirty thousand people. Everybody
here is for Thomasville first, last and
all the timf. This has made it what it
is, and that which will, one day, make
it a great city. The foundation for a
great city has been well laid, and with
such people as Thomasville now contains
its fnture is now assured.
Thomasville, next to Atlanta, is to
day the best known city in Georgia.-
Why? Because it has been advertised
throughout every state of the Union.
It is of course the climate of Thomas
ville that first attracted attention to it.
But uiher points in southwest Georgia
have tho same climate, the same ad
vantages and the sams surroundings.
However*, some how, Thomasville got
the bulge, aud its people are of that
enterprising eort who know when they
bave an advantage and how to improve
Its people rcalizsd i»s opportunities
and have lost no time in improving
them. They have made it second to
none as a winter; resort tor northern
people; they have constructed magnifi
cent hotels, have advertised them, and
the northern peoplo simply flock here
droves. More than fifteen thousand
came here last year, and by the first
of May there will have been fully
twenty thousand here this year. These
people come here for health and pleas
ure, and they find both, They pay
well for what they get, but they get
the very best and are perfectly satnfied.
In f&ct, they art so well satisfied tLat
every ono goes away a walking adver
tisement for the town.
THE NORTHERN VI8ITOR8.
It is said of Thomasville that \f it
were shingled oyer it would bo one
immense hotel, and the statement is
Dot very wide of the mark, for it is a
perfect mass of hotels and boarding
houses. There are three hotels here
that are as fine as can be found any
where—the Mitchell, the Piney Woods
and the Maaury. Then there are
half dozen smaller hotels and innum
erable boarding bouses, eyery one
filled and hundreds yf northern
people who have written here for rooms
have been usable to secure them. The
town need* more hotels and the people
say that they shall ba built. Tho
beauty about the plaoe b that with
exception, the Maaury, every hotel
here is owned by natives.
It is estimated by Colonel R.
Wright and Igr. SJ. Hayes, the
presidents of tfoe banks here, that the
northern viaitor* during the foqr winter
months, spend between eight and nine
thousand dollars per day, or about
8250,000 per month, nearly every
dollar of which remains right here,
consequently the people of Thomasville
are getting ri^b. Jf there ia a poor
man in the town or pounty, I have not
heard of him or seen him, fjvcry one
here makes money and spends it. The
appearance of the town shows it. There
are f^. oommon buildings here. They
r,"substantial, and at the same
at structures. The etorcs equal
those in the larger cities. There are
not many, but those here are of the
very best class. They are of glass and
iron front, and altogether give the
town that qpat appearance characteristic
of the northwest.
compared with winter resorts in this
and other countries, it is the universal
verdict that Thomasville has oo equal,
Physicians recommend that their pa

Thomasville b perfectly drained, and
there is a marked absence of humidity.
Tho temperature b equable, and being
only fifty three miles from the gulf of
Mexioo, its warm breezes, laden with
the Aroma of the pine forests, makes it
the most delightful, climate in the
world. Then the soil, being of sand
and clay, is of sack a porous character,
that within an hour after the hardest

streets or surrounding roads, nor is

THE BUSINESS HEN
of Thomaivillo don’t know what it is to
experience tight times. All timet are
flash here. The money, of course, prin
cipally comes from the northern visitors.
It b put in circulation by them in the
winter and it remains in circulation
until they come again. They like the
plaoe and its people. They get what
they want and they come again. They
are here until May, spending money
and enjoying themselves. Then, when
they leave, the peay crop, which is the
great production of Thomas county,
marketed. This crop brings from one
to two hundred thousand dollars here
each season. Then the eottoa crop
oomea ia, and by the time it is market
ed the northern people return. Thus
it will readily £e seek why times are
always flush here.
The question is naterally
what has made Thomasville a popular
resort for northern people during the
wint«4 Heitor John Triplet^ ‘©I. the
Times, who has probably done more
than any one else to make Thomasville
what it is, and who predicts for it
great future, explains it.. He Bays,
THE EFFECT OF THE CLIUATE.
“As an evidence of our elimste on vis-
itors,” said Mr. TripleU, “The ease of
the Rev. J. A. McKee, of Indiana,
might be cited. He is a man of nearly
eighty years of age. He came here
few years ago effected with serins
bronchial troubles. To-day he b a
well man, and b a jiving evidence of
our elimatio advantages.’ ^
It is ad astonbhiog tact that of near
seven hundred people at the three
leading hotel#, there is not a half doz-
itvalids. The people are cither
very much improved by their visit here
else cimo here for pleasure.
THE GROWTH OF TUOllASYILLE.
Speaking of the growth of Thomas-
vile, Mr. Triplett says: “It b due to
tbe fact that our people are united in
questions. We ttini together,
should* r to shoulder ia every enterprise
which bids fair to build up the town.
fact, we imitate Atlanta, and
claim our (own to be tbe Atlanta of
South Georgia. Speaking of Atlanta,
wo want it knowu that the efforts of
the Constitution to build up this sec
tion of the state are fully appreciated
our people. There b much yet to
done however, to make Thomasville
what it should be. Other hotels must
built. A sanitarium has-been sug
gested, and will probably be establish-
in the near future. We shall alio
probabaly catabihh a turpentine distil-
itry for the heotfit of our guests. We
shall put up an electric light plant thb
summer. We have already os fine an
opera house as pan be found in any of
the larger Southern cities.
“Among the northern peoplo who
have been here thb winter," continued
Mr. Triplett, “are some of the most
distinguished in tho United States.
There have been several governors,
United States senitors and congress
men. Mr#. Thomas H. Hendricks;
Pierre Lorillard: the Vanderbilt party;
Mr. James Swan; C. M. McGehce
Col. Kidd DoUglars, of Maryland; C.
Huntington and m*ay Other!.
The most pontpicuous feature of
Thoma&ville is the number of private
winter residences of northern people.
Mr. John W. Maaury, of New York,
has a palatial couatry home, costing
nearly seventy-five thousand dollars^
outside the city limits. He calb it
Cleveland y^rk. J. Wyman Jones, of
New York, also haftt beautiful country
home, just two miles from tho oity,
Wh^h cjst 825,000. Mr. it . Van-
Duier, of New York, has constructed
by far th3 handsomest residence here.
It is near the center of the town, .and
the lot upon which he built alone coat
810,(100,. The entire hom9 represent*
an outlay of nearly 850,000, but it b
indeed a magnificent pbo.\ Then,
among the other northern and western
people, who havj winter homes here,
are G.-8. Collier, New York, J. W.
Paxton, West Virginia; C. W. Lip-
ham and M. N. Dickenson., Rlinob;
Mrs. CfeM*. Massachusetts; George
William R. Merriam, Colonel Mertiam
and H. E. Thompson, Minnesota; Mr.
McCartney, Ohio; David McCartney,
Wisconsin; A. H. Mason, Philadelphia;
D. E. Wright, Indiana, Mr. Thomas,
Missouri; Mr. McQartney, Colarado;
ftr. Gobi), Tennessee; Mrs. Lind, Ken
tueky: Mr. J. N. Kimball, Maine, and
Mr. Hamilton Vose, Michigan. The
two last have, however, not finished
their ho^pa yet. A law** number
qf northern people have also invested
ip farms around the city. Thomas
ville i» indeed recognised as the “yan-
kee paradise.”
SOME BUSINESS POINTS.
Bet, as to the burinees of Thom^*
ville: In the first pbqs, the railroad
receipt* at this place aggregate over a
half miitioa dollars annually. Nearly
all the passengers sad freight to sad
from thb point go by Savannah. Tho
a to Atlanta are so inconve
nient that the people cannot deal with
Atlanta. They, however, want direot
connection with Atlanta, and with each
ptogrereiva men as Hon. Ton Mo-
Intyrs, OoL A- P. Wright, J. W.
Bdd and John Triplett working for
it it is pretty
will have it. Nearly every one
feels a deep iatercstin the ntndinf
the Atlanta and Florida road, and they
will do anything in reason to secure it
Mr. McIntyre said: “To connect
Atlanta and Thomasville has been the
dream of my fife. We look opon At
lanta as the greatest plaoe in the eoun-
by, and we want to throb in unison
with her. Wo are sow compelled to
bay in Savannah, but we want a better
market.*’
Mr. J. W. Bad, a prominent drug
gist said: «Do you know there is very
fittie difference between the freight
rates to Atlanta and New York? It
takes from ten days to two weeks to
get freight here from Atlanta, and only
five days from New York; consequent
ly we buy our goods in New York be
cause it takes less time to get them
here. Again, do you know that of tho
great number of visitors who come
here, very few come via Atlanta, al
though it .would be nearer, simply be
cause the railroads between here and
Atlanta will not bring the Pullman
cars through? To come from Atlanta
hero you are compelled to ride in an
ordinary passenger car and to change
three times.” * '
TWO STROKO BANKS.
ThomasvHIe has two banks with a
capital of 8100,000 each. Colonel A.
P. Wright and Mr. 8 L. Hayes are
thtir respective presidents. Both are
shrewd bosinejs men, and, above all,
have tho interest of Thomasville at
heart. There are about one hundred
business houses here, and each gets its
share of the enormous amount of money
left here annually by the northern vie-
itor?. There is no crop they would
rather see come into the market than
what they are disposed to term the
“yankee crop.” It brings money al
most without end. Next to tbb is the
fruit crop, for Thomas county U tbe
hom3 of the pear, the strawberry and
the watermelon. There is very little
cotton raised here. Everything is in
fiuit, and that is why-this is one of the
very wealthiest counties in the state.
In the city there is more than SG00,-
000 invested in hotel property, and the
assessment of property in Thomasville
amoants to 84,000,000, one hundred
thousand of which is owned by negroes.
There is a cotton seed cil mill here, an
ice factory, iron works, tire* largo
brick yards, an artesian well two thou
sand feet deep that nupplies the town
with tho r-ureit water, a half dozen'
well equipped livery 6tables, quite &
large and pretty opera house, gas and
water works, and in faot everything
that goes to make up a modern and
pfogressiyo city.
THE RAILROAD FACILITIES
of ThomasviUe#are very good in many
respects, but a closer connection should
be established with Atlanta. Hon.
Guyt McLendon has done much in
this line, which has had the effect cf
building up the tows> and to him, in a
greqt measure, is doe the credit for
making Thomasville what it is.
There are two daily papers here.
Both are good, and they pay well. Mr.
Albert Winter, the editor of the En
terprise, and Colonel John Triplett, of
the Times, are both progressive and
enterprising newspaper men, and their
papers would be % credit to even a
much laifgci city-
THE HEALTH OF THE CITY.
Dr. McIntosh, the president of the
board of health and one ot the lead
ing physicians here, speaks enthusi
astically of Thomasville as a health
resort. He says lung, throat and
catarrhal troubles arc greatly bene-
fitted by climate, but says the
majority of people who visit Thom-
asyille come for pleasure and to get
away from the cold weather of the
north.
The drives around Thomasville are
perfectly beautiful. The country is
level, covered with pane and oak
forests which shade the roads, and a
jaunt through the country here is
indeed delightful. This is the chief
enjoyment, and on each pleasant
afternoon the northern visttois are
out in force. There are two hundred
carriages and buggies at the livery
stables here, besides a hundred or
more excellent saddle horses, and on
each pleasant afternoon every oue is
in use.
THE LECONTE PEAR.
The LeConte pear, as I have men
tioned above, is the principal pro
duction the, county. All over the
county afi£ - even in the city you see
thousands upon thousands of these

masses of snow white flowers, set off

season much resembles a huge well-
shaped bouquet Yesterday I vis

the leading pear producer of the
county, the man who first introduced
tbe LeConte pear here and who has
made a fortune from their sale. Mr.

Of course the expenses of gathering
and caring for the fruit is deducted
from this amount, but nevertheless
Mr. Vamadoe realizes quite a neat
sum from bis pear orchard annually.
Mr. Varnadoe also runs a Jersey
farm. He has a dozen cows that
will average three gallons of milk per
day. The milk sells to the hotels for
forty cents per gallon, and from this
it will be seen he realizes about fifteen
dollars per day, while the expenses
of his cows will hardly exceed five
dollars.
From Thomasville during the pear
season there is shipped from three
to five car loads of this fruit per day,
or during the season Mr. Vamadoe
says there is nearly three hundred
thousand dollars’ worth of pears
shipped from this point.
THE STRONG MEN OF THE COUNTY.
One of the principal causes of
Thomasville’s prosperity is undoubt
edly due to the sterling worth of its
country yoemanry. The farmers are
far above the average in intelligence
and know how to make their lands
pay by diversifying the;r crops. The
Farmers’ Alliance is in a splendid
condition here, well officered and
composed of the most intelligent
farmers to be found anywhere. Every
farm in the county, like every lot in
the city, is as neat and clean as pos
sible. Indeed, Thomasville and
Thomas county cannot be surpassed,
and, above all, its people are the
cleverest in the world.

Mr. Eli Whitney, Jr., of New Haven,
Conn., i* a guest of the Mitchell House.
He is a grandson of Eli Whitney, the
inventor of the cotton gin. The inven
tion of the ootton gin revolutionized
ootton culture, or rather it created un-
limited possibilities for it* cultivation.
Mr. Whitney lived in Georgia at one
time, and oonoeived the idea of his gin
while watching the crude manner in
which our forefathers separated the
lint from the seed.
The name of Eli Whitney will al
ways be remembered by Southern cot
ton growers. The grandson of tho dis
tinguished inventor is a welcome guest
in the South.

In the field or the forum he never

An Old Landmark Gone.
Saturday morning, at 2 o’clock, the
spirit of Dr. S. S. Adams took its
flight from tbe tired tenement of clay
and winged its flight to a better
world. Dr. Adams was seventy six
years old. He was born in Fairfax
county, Va., moving to Florida at
the age ot 12. He graduated in
medicine at the University of Penn
sylvania while yet a young man. The
deceased moved to Thomasville in
1838. He was married in 1842. Of
nine children five survive him, Revs.
C. D. Adams and M. J, Adams, both
members of the South Georgia Con
ference, Mr. J. R. Adams, Mrs. W.
P. Penniman, of Brunswick, and Mrs
C. S. Stephens, of Brunswick. The
deceased was sick for several months,
gradually sinking into his Savior’s
arms. His mind was perfectly clear
the last. Only a week before he
died, in having the papers read to
him, he showed special interest in
scientific articles. The Dr. and the
late Donald McLean (and they
were life long friends) were never to
happy as when poriDg over some
mathematical problem or astronomi
cal subject. Only a day or two be
fore his death, though suffering
greatly, hejtnqutred about, and show-
ed much interest in the question ot
cremating garbage, and the sewerage
question, as being discussed by some
of our neighboring cities.
An hout before dissolution his son,
Rev. C. D. Adams, said to him*
“Father, I came, hoping to take
you home with pie, but Jesus wants
you home with him.”
The dying man, with perfect com
posure, and with a faith which never
faltered, replied:
“It is all right.”
He was ol a modest, retiring dis
position and nature. Upon an occa
sion a friend remarked to him:
Doctor, do yon not take much
pride in your kinship to President
Adams!”
“No, madam, not at ail,” he
plied. “Should be sorry if I had to
borrow honor from my ancestry.
He was the soul of honor, fearless
in the performance of duty, gentle
and tender as a woman, and always
had regard for the feelings of others.
He had been i consistent, upright
conscientious member of tbe Metho
dist church for sixty-four years.
The funeral, conducted by the Rev
Mr. McDonnell, will take place from
tbe Methodist church at 2:30 p. m.
to-morrow. Tbe interment will take
place at Greenwood cemetery, the
private burying grousd of tbe late
Tbosnas Jones.
A good man has gone.

Tho above figures will give a fair
idea of the cost of the still nnd fixtures
and buildings, and operating the worka
during the season. It is possible that
a pardon cf tho crude gum will cost
over $2.00 per barrel, but in no case
will. it coat over 82.50 per barrel laid
down here. It is entirely safe to atj
that tho outlay cm be kept within
83,000.
Now let us see what tho receipts
would be from tbe manufactured pro
duct, i. e. tbe spirit* and resin. Etch
barrel of “crude” will produce nino
gallons of spirits turpentine, and to
every 50 gallons of spirits there are
made four barrcls*of rosin. Henoe tbe
800 barrels of gum will turn out 7,200
gallons—144 barrels spirits and 570
barrels rosin. Hence we bave the fol

the provable value of the product after
deducting all tbe coif of marketing

If these figures are accepted as cor
rect it will be seen that the schcon
can be carried out sucsetsfully, aud at
no loss (and little risk) to the stock
holders.
The advantage of the turpentine dis
tillery to Thomatville will be manifest.
Every evening the atmosphere, for a
gfeat distance, will be pervaded with
tbe rich and pungent odor proceeding
frojn the slowly-cooling rosin, which is
indescribably bracing and agreeable.

pccifis for hcodachi I havo never seen
ca*e which it failed to cure in ten
minutes.
Turpentine distillers assure me that
the “low wine (“which cornea out with
the spirits), is an infallible cure for
dyspepsia, and I bave often seen tbe
negro bands at distilleries drink a glass-
full at a time, sajing that it cured
their “euspejny.”
in conclusion, I hope that this
scheme will attract such favorable at
tention from onr citizens that much
time will not be allowed to pare before
tbe matter assumes a business shape.

It will be seen from Piney Woods'
estimates for outlay 2nd income that
2,670, or at the outside $3.00
put the still up and run it the first
year, the income being $3,024. In
other words, in the* first year’s output
there is a profit of $24. In tbe sub
sequent years the capital in still is
already invested, and hence we have
tbe $650, tbe cost of construction, as
bonus. The runaing expenses, the
second and subsequent years will be
over $2,009, and a profit on
the outlay, after the first year, will be
33 per cent (about tbe usual profit
tmadc On sucb outlays) and in add:
tion whatever, benefit may result to
the city and the advantages of tbe
opportunity to visit the works.
