What Co-Operation of Capital Has Done
for Thomasville.
Perhaps the finest illustration of the
advantages of union and co-operation
is found i:t the story told of an old
The Arrington Case.
According to the correspondent of
the Constitution, Judge Hansell said
to the bailiff in charge of the jury,when
that official delivered a message to
man who called his seven sons- him, saying the jury could not agree,
to his bedside, as lie stood face to lace
with the grim monster. He ltauded
a bundle of twigs to his eldest son,
saying, “Break that bundle, my son.”
The young man tried his best to break
it but it withstood all his efforts. One
by one the sons made the same effort,
with the same result
Cutting the cord that bound the
lniudfc together the old man handed
the twings one by one to his sons and
they broke them very-easily.
The application is ton plain to re
quire elaboration.
^,’o-operation is the most jiowerful
factor that can be used by’ a commu
nity. Co-operation of sentiment in
the first place and co-operation of
capital in the next. What one mau
could bo uuable to do by his own
efforts, five, ten or twenty men can
easilyjgrlorni when actively togetli-
The exemplification of the advan
tages of co-operation that Thomasville
can otter to those that might doubt its
efficiency, are both numerous and
conclusive. The Times-Extkrfrise
gives below a list of the capitalized
institutions of the city that have come
into life through the co-opcrtion of
individuals and of money.

and asked to be discharged:
"Tell them no. They must bring
in a verdict, or they must remain there
till court adjourns. I do not wish to
try this case again, if it can possibly
be avoided.”
It is thought that in case ol another
trial there will be a change of venue,
as it is doubtful if another jury could
be had ill Brooks. They had a good
deal of trouble in getting the present
one.
