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.

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. Later : At 11 : ;o yesterday morn ing, having failed to agree on zi ver dict, a mistrial was declared, and the jury discharged It is understood that the jury stood 11 for acquittal and one for conviction. 25 000 20 *001 20 001 15 000 15 000 to 000 10-000 10 000 •Aggregate., w.ytn.-a Besides these companies, the Thomas ville Investment Company, capital 8100,000, has applied fur a charter, and the Timcs-Euterprise Publishing Company will be organized, each hav ing for its object the improvement of Thomesville by means of the ag gregation of separate and individual means.
