Kind and Respected Friend—For

family of living beings, please do not
recommend any one else to go to (he

We folio wed v»ur eotnieiltugs and

They have the toughest beef, most

Mr. Letford is a member of the
firm of H. E. Bucklin & Co r , of Chi
cago. a large ipedicim house. The
house referred to is one of the most
prominent in oursister citv.
W'e takfc the above from the Bcston
World, of Saturdav.
Mr. George A. Letford appears to
be a very particular sort of a gentle
man. We hive no doubt that Mr. |
Watts keeps a good heuse—every one
says lie does—but Mr. Letford will
hardly make any cue believe that
Thomasville hotels are noted lor “un
accommodating landlords and clerks.”
On the contrary, Thomasville’s hotels
boast—and justly so—of not only ex
cellent fare, but accommodating land
lords and clerks. We may venture,
without entering the domain of doubt,
the assertion that the Chicago gentle
man got away with 82 worth of
victuals at the hotel in Thomasville
where lie stopped.
The Laws Delay.
One of Quitman’s best posted law
yers icmarke 1 the oth-*r day tUat
there were cases enough now before
Brooks Superior Court to keep the
court iu session for two solid months
it all of the cases were tried. This
amount of litigation in a county of
the size of Brooks is not an enviable
showing. ^ The two weeks of cou*-t
just held nave been a heavy burden
on the county and will make a big
hole in the surplus in the treasury.—*
Quitman Free Press.
Without meaning to draw any in
vidious comparison, it is gratifying to
record the fact that Thomas county,
ns a rule, gets through all her crimi
nal and civil business in one week ;
frequently in less time. Too much
litigation in a county is not good.
Thomas county has ns little as any
county iu the State, according to pop-
t lation.
Attempted Assassination.
Dick Watkins, a negro, was shot
and badly wounded on the Dr. Jones
plantation, six miles from the city.
Sunday night, by some unknown per-
on. He was sitting in his cabin
ingiug and conversing with his fami
ly when the^ot was fired. Quite a
number flf sfiofs took effect in the
Upck and upper portion of the body.
A physician from hero was sent tor.
The wound ia considered dangerous.
LATER.
Dr. T. M. McIntosh, who went out
to see the wounded tnqu, reports that
*wo b.uckshpt struck the right lung.
Jne passed entirely through the lung,
the other penetrated the lung. Two
shot entered the neck and came out in
his mouth. Three entered the back
of the neck and ranged forward. I)r.
McIntosh considers the wounds dan
gerous, especially those in the lungs.

move, but there is a division as to tbe
means to be provided for paying for
the increased supply. One faction
favors issuing bi nds to pay for the
new works; another one favors the
policy of paying for the improvements
as they are made, as far as this is dos-
sible. Mr. Inman, in au interview
published in the Constitution, gives it
as his opinion that Atlanta ought not
to increase her bonded debt, if she
can possibly help it, even to pay for
such a necessity as water. He says
that one strong point in Atlanta’s
favor in the past has been her small
indebtedness and low taxes. The
views of Mr. Inman are entitled to
great weight, for he is one of the best
financiers in the South.
It will be necessary in the near
future to make some costly improve
ments in Thomasville, in the way of
providing a system of sewerage.
The Times-Enterprike has cited
the views of Mr. Inman to illustrate
the need of conservatism and caution
n providing the means for paying for
their improvements. It has been one
of Thomasville’s proudest boasts that
she had no bonded debt, aud the rate
of taxation has been so low that it has
drawu investments that would not
otherwise have come here.
It is, of course, impossible to pay
for what we need as it is done, but it
would seriously retard the future
growth of Thomasville if she were to
be placed under the incubus of too
much debt
Tbe superb business man is the one
that strains a point to pay his obliga
tions as they accrue rather than allow
them to accumulate, trusting to the
future to provide for the obligations
of to-day.
Conservatism is, therefore, the
watchword ot the hour.
Good Roads.
Thomas county has loug been noted
for its good roads.
SbakspcarsdiJ that reputation was
often got without merit, and lost
without deserving. This " would uot
apply to the Thomas county roads,
but a very close acquaintance with
them would not bear out the splendid
reputation they have acquired. The
truth is the number of public roads has
increased more rapidly than the road
'rking population, and as a* result,
while our roads are the best in the
state, and this is no idle boast, an itn
provement in the road laws, or a
more rigid enforcement of those we
have, would give us even belter roads,
and that we need them goes without
saying.
New Machinery.
Mr. George W. Henderson, super
intendent of the Tho uasviile Guano
Company, has returned from a trip to
Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio, where
lie wc:.t to buy improved machinery
to be used in the cotton seed oil de

The Trade in Lumber.

ing that the demand for lumber was
hetter than he had ever seen it before.
Lumber means building, and building
means business for the mechanics,
business for the merchants, and

Farming will Pay.
The Augusta Chronicle thus sum
marizes a few bristling points on the
subject of farming:
First. • That planting, when con
ducted with intelligence, and follow
ed as a business, will pay, and pay
well.
Second. That the supplies of the
farmer, so far as possible, should be
made ntrhomc.
Third. Tha^t farming properly
conducted not. only secures a living,
but can be made to furnish a generous
support.
Fourth. That farming like every
thing else, requires closi, personal at
tention, and good financiering,- That
bonks should be kept aud accounts
itemized on the farm as accurately as
the store, aud that there is uot only
subsistence, but wealth, in farming in
Georgia, if n^u will be content to dig
it out.
The Cotton Plant.
What a royal plant it is! The
world waits iu attendance on its
growth. The shower that falls whis
periug ou its leaves is heard around
the esrth. The sun that shines on it is
temoered by the prayers of all the
people. The frost that chills it and
the dew that descends from the stars
noted, and tbe trespass of a little
worm on its green leaf is more to
England than the advance of the
Russian army on her Asian outposts.
It is gold from the instant it puts
forth its tiny shoot. Its fibre is cur
rent in every bank, and when loosing
its fleeces to the sun, it floats a sunny
banner that glorifies the field of tbe
humole farm ; that man is marshal
under a flag that will compel alle
giance of tba world, and wring a sub
sidy from evtry nation on earth. It is
the heritage that God gave this peo
ple forevfer as their own when he
arched our skies, established our
mountains, girt about us with ocean,
loosed the breezes, tempered tbe sun
shine, and measured tbe rain. Our’s

In the Arrlngton-Lane Murder Case.
Quitman, Ga., May 17.—The court
was engaged in the transaction of some
minor business this morning, until the
hour of ten came. At that time His
Amor beckoned to .an officer, who
quickly drew near, and, after a word
from the court, noisel ssly withdrew
from the room. Immediately the jury
in the Arrington case filed into the
presence of Judge HauselU aud, amid
absolute silence, took their stand.
Their finding 9 had been anticipated,
and few were present, comparatively
speaking.
THE RESULT REACHED.
Addressing H. D. Byrd, Judge Han-
sell said:
‘Mr. Foreman, have you, or have
you not, reached a verdict? ’
"We have not,” said Byrd.
“Are you likely to agree?”
"We are not—no prospect."
"Your duties,” continued Judge
HanselV'have been long and arduous.
1 have felt it to be my duty to retain
you up t6 the present time. All par
ties are ratified that you have consci
entiously discharged your duties with
fidelity. No report of bad conduct
on your par has reached my ears. I
thank vou tor having honest! v endeav
ored to do your duty in this case.”
Judge Han sell t ten read, in open
court, an order declaring a mistrial.
The jury was then discharged from
the further consideration of the case,
and from attendance in court for the
remainder cf the term. Foreman Byrd
then handed in a card containing
trunks to the court and officers tor
courtesies extended the jury during
the trial. In a few moments thereaf
ter court adjourned for the term.
HOW THE JURY STOOD.
From beginning to endth trial Iasi
ed ten days. The jury were in th-
jury room seventy hours. During that
ume they di t not ask the court to re
charge them on any point. But two
ballots were taken during the whole ol
their consideration of the case. The
first was quickly after going to the jury
room. Each man wrote his bal!o\
and upon examination ot all the vote*
nine were for acquittal and three were
for conviction. H. D Byrd put in
one of those votes. B. C. Herring an
other and J C. Humphreys the third
The next ballot was taken this room
ing at 8 o’clock. It stood eleven for
acqutttal and one for convictiou. II.
I). Byrd was the twelfth roan. Her
ring and Humphreys came over to the
side of the defendant within-two hour*
after the first ballot was taken, and a
verdict might have been rendered then
had it not been for the tenacity ot Ju
ror Byrd. The point about* which they
could not agree was that of "cooling
lime,” so Mr. Byrd, the foreman of
»he jury, stated to your correspondent.
Thus ends, for the present, at least,
a case that has kept public feeling a'
a high tension.

White Caps in Mitchell.
We had hoped that White Cap:-
would be confined to some of th« states
where it originated, but the troutjle
has appeared in our own state, and
adjoining county. Lawlcs-ne-s
never excusable. We are glad to sec
that Governor Gordon is taking hold
of this imported evil in a very vjgorou
styTe. A dispatch to the Mornin,
News from Atlanta yesterday . ays :
The cifx*ns of Mitchell county hav<
become both alarmed and m- gnani
at the lawlessness prevailing around
Pelham, and have appealed
governor tor aid in suppressing it. The
outrages committed by disguised men
in the night time reported to the < xcc
utive were the burning of the ginhousr
ofGfouser Brothers in Pelham, break
ing into the house of Jane Nix and
whipping her and three other white
women, the whipping of Henry Butler
and his son, ana the severe beating
given a numbe r of negroes. The gov
ernor to- day announced his nuemion
of breaking up this lawlessness if
exhausted every power and resource
of the state. Ht directed the tecrcta
ry of state to issue a prccUmatio:
offering a rewaad of $750 for tbe ap
prehension ot tbe guilty parties engag
ed in the incendiarism, and $roo each
for the parties who were connected
wit’i the whipptrg outrages. The Or
dinary ol Mitchell has been instructed
to post this proclamation throughout

London, MaylS.—Mr*. Mayhricb,
niece of Jeflerson Davis, and a French
Canadian aristocrat bj birth, has
been arrested at Liverpool on a charge
of poisoning her husband with arse

inent merchant* died with symptoms
ol slow poisoning. His brother,
Michael, known as hyphen Adams, a
musical composer* rt*d other rela
tires, henitatea to act ww reports cir
culated as to the cause of death. To
day a county magistrate* GsL BiddeU*
accompanied by tbe chief of police,
went to the Maybrkrh residence.
They were told that the lady was ill
in bed. Medical men were summoned,
and, after an examination* thev pro
uounced her fit to hear the charge.
Her solicitor demanded to know the
natui e of the evidence. Tho chieC of
police responded that he had grave
evidence that the woman had given
arsenic to her husband from Ume to
time. Tho officials went to the bed
room where the woman lay, haggard,
