Jt is convincing aud unanswerable, showing the good result which would certainly flow from the adoption of the no fence law in the lower portion of the county. Alderman Whiddon made a narrow escape yesterday afternoon. While out hunting he stooped down to pick up a bird which he had shot, and put his hand on a great big rattle snake. Eel says lie didn’t measure how far lie jumped, but lie does not think the best jumper in the State could have cleared moro feet. He shot the snake.

A Negro Woman Arrested—Is She Guilty? The busy hum of trade and busi ness on Broad street, vas brought to a sudden stop yesterday about 12 o’clock, by the now familiar fire bells. The firemen broke for their engine houses—gallant fellows always ready—and the populace rushed for the scene of conflagration, which proved to be the stables of Mr. F. H. Beebe, of Boston, Mass. The stables and adjoining outhouse were found enveloped in scetliiug flames, the black volumes of smoke curling about the two or three buildings ’in close proximity. The firemen did heroic work, every company and every man, vicing with each other, as to who could best work. The res idence of Mr. Win. Miller, was in most emminent danger, but the fire, men proved equal to the occasion they saved it. The bucket brigade, mounting the smoking building, and getting water from a hydrant in the yard, did splendid work. The pri vate hose and hydrants belonging to the place, proved highly serviceable. They were made effective from the first outburst of the flumes. The furniture and everything moveable was carried out of Mr. Millers resi dence. The fire attracted au im mense crowd, and it was au angry crowd. Every one felt' outraged at this, the fourth attempt to burn a building within forty-eight hours. That the building was keroseued and set on fire, as two others have just been, there is no doubt. Had posi tive evidence been at hand, the per petrator would have fared badly at the hands of the crowd. Elleu King, a negro woman, was arrested during the fire aud carried to jail. Mrs. Miller saw this woman leaving the premises about two minutes before the crackliug flames were heard. The woman did uot live ou the lot, nor had she any business there. The matter was re ported to Mayor Hopkins, and ho promptly ordered her arrest. Upon being asked, after she was sent to jail, if she had been about the lot, she positively denied having been there. Mrs. Miller, however, who knows the woman perfectly well, says she will swear that she saw Ellen leaving the lot, as above stated. It is thought that there arc others engaged in the house burning business. The negro woman—if she is guilty—doubtless has confederates. The frequency of fires ofjlate, points to the faet that more thau one is engaged in the work. The stables cost about 8400. They were insured for 8300. Fires and Fire Department. The frequency of fires of late, most of which are clearly traceable to incen diary origin, should put the authorities on the alert. There are evidently fire bugs in Thomasville. The city au thorities should leave nothing undone to hunt down these miscreants. They are public enemies, even worse than that: they are a standing menace to both life and properly. The severest punishment should be inflicted on these night hawks. In this connection, we may refer to the resolution passed by the Hook and Ladder Company at a meeting on Wednesday night, asking for an ex tension hook and ladder truck. Our fire department is a volunteer one, working without pay, and they should be furnished with everything necessary to successfully combat the flames. There are two things jvhich our town at all limes should be liberal with, that is the health aud fire departments. Money properly and judiciously ex pended in either of these directions, is money welt expended. The fire de partment, including each company, should be carefully inspected by the proper authorities, at ieasj once a month, for the purpose of seeing that everything is in perlect working order. Itjwould also be well at frequent inter vals to inpsect the various cisterns in the town, of which their are something over twenty, to see that the pipes leading to them from surrounding houses are in order, and that the cis terns are kept full of water. It is uppar- ent at almost every fire that the quan tity ol hose is deficient. And then the quality of hose* is also deficient. Water spurts Irom joints which should be light, and in some cases, the hose will not hear a full pressure from the engines. In view of the constant danger which seems to threaten the town, these, and other matters con nected with the efficiency of (lie fire department, should receive the prompt and scrutinous care of the council. A Big Business. Few people are aware of the splen did business \yhich Mr. L. Schmidt has built up in Thomasville. He sold, last month, one hundred and eight dozen of bottled soda every day dur ing the month, sold it by the case, in addition to the large amount sold at retail over his counters. Mr. Schmidt came here a perfect stranger a few months ago ; but he is a stranger no longer, He is one of the driving, pushing business men of the place. By fair, square dealing, and prompt ness, Mr. Schmidt has worked his way to the front in his business—and he’ll stay there. He ships his goods to Albany, Camilla, Bainbridge, Monti cello, Waycross, Valdosta, Quitman and all intermediate points. Some fear was expressed the other night when the jail was on fire inside, the structure would be burned, ike yourselves easy ou that poiut, .lemeu” said Col. Wright,chairman prot ie boaul of County Commission- “there is ample time to remove prisoners without loss of life, and county lias $5,000 insurance on building.” The fact that Tj county had been carryiug $5,000 U n 'lirance on the jail, which it has for * lcs >hraJ years, shows that the County ® a Pmmissionem are guarding well the ty’s interests, in this as well as * matters. ’nuff It Tim i Resolutions. At a meeting of Rescue Hook and Ladder Company last night, the fol lowing resolution was unanimously adopted : “Resolved, That a committee be appointed to confer .with the City Council in regard to the purchase of an extension hook and ladder truck- one that is equipped with all the latest improvements, and to be drawn by horses. Hicks & Way Fail. The firm of Hicks & Way,merchants ol Patten, have failed. Their liabili ties amount to about $5,55°, and their assets foot up §4,715. The preferred creditors are: The Bank ot Thomas ville, H. R. Cooke & Bro., M. R. Mallette and Mitchell & McIntyre. Accidentally Shot Himself. Laurence Bryant, colored, of Leon county, Fla., accidentally shot himself here early yesterday morning. He was at the warehouse helping to unload a bale cf cotton,which he had brought to town, and in jumping from his wag on, a pisiol in his side pocket, with the muzzle pointing upwards, struck against the wagon tie, discharging it, and the bail entering his right arm, and lodgine against the bone. Dr. McIntosh, who attended him, says, while the wound is severe, it is not dangerous. Reserved seats arc s.lling rapidly for the minstrel show on Monday night. Call and secure your seats, if you wish desirable ones, lor they will soon be growing scarce. The hdics will not fail to be attract ed by the advertisement of Mrs. Jen nie Carroll. She is just back from New York, with an elegant stock of millinery, and various articles in that line. Mrs. Carroll is catering most successfully to the wants and tastes of our ladies, and she does not hesitate to let them Know through the columns of her local paper, what she has to sell. Her advertisements are fresh and sparkling, and they are telling, for the lady has, by a liberal use of printer’s ink, built up within a comparatively short period, a Splendid trade. A Popular Thomasville Engineer. Mr. E. S. Paine, an engineer on the Savannah, Florida it Western Railway, was the successful con testant for a handsome badge, re cently voted for at Waycross; the proceeds and profits to go to Way- cross opera house. The badge was to be voted to the most popular engi neer on the Savannah, Florida & Western Railway. The fact that Mr. Paine received the highest number of votes, attests his popularity with the B. L. E., as well as the public. The latter entered into the contest with great zeal. Mr. Paine was in town the other day wearing his badge. It was very much admired by every one who saw it. The badge is a very handsome one with the mono gram, B. L. E., set in diamonds, sap phires aud emeralds. Mr. Paine received two hundred votes over and above the highest number received by any other engineer. This was a rattling good majority. The succulent sugar cane will soon he squeezed iuto liquid sweetness. Thomasville sent several represen tatives to the confederate reunion in Brooks county yesterday. Among them.were Col. A. T. MacIntyre, Mr. R. E. Mitchell, Charlie Stuart T. N. Hopkins and others. That was a graceful act of Mr. Win. Miller yesterday, after the fire. “Here is a check for twenty-five dollars,” said Mr. Miller to Mayor Hopkins, “I want you present it to the firemen who worked so hard to save my house and effects,” There is nothing small about Mr. Miller. The article elsewhere headed : ‘ Fires and Fire Department,” was written before the fire of yesterday. The fire only emphasizes the arguments used. The department should be put on an effective footing. Too much property is at stake. ()ne of the companies yesterday could not reach the fire with their hose, and had to couple on to the hose of another com pany. And the hose used showed numerous weak places and other de fects. We called attention yesterday to the article taken from the Boston World, ou the stock breeders’ fair. It should have been stated in the notice, that the arcicle was written by Professor A. <j. Moody. Prof, Moody fully under stands the importance of this move ment, designed to encourage the breed ing of better stock in Thomas county. The gentleman mentioned wields a ready pen, and we trust lie will use it frequently in the interest of the asso ciation, and of the county. Our peo ple appreciate what he has already said, and expect him to continue the good work. Mr. N. Iladdix takes great interest in sending papers and other documents to Western friends about Thomasville, and in this matter Mr. Iladdix is setting an example which should be followed by others. I11 a recent letter from his son in the West, speaking about the Timks Entehpri.sk, which Mr. Iladdix has been mailing to a friend out West, his sou says; “Mr. says he would rather read the paper you send him, than to read the Enquirer. Since he has been South and seen that section, he takes great interest in reading the paper. He fell in love with Thomasville and the people in it, and never gets tired of talking about the place and people.” Atlanta Exposition.
