More Property Condemned.
Gradually arrangements arc being
made to let the Georgia Southern in
to Thomasville.
Yesterday a jury met at the court
house and condemned the last piece of
property needed in the corporation.
This was the right of way starting
beyond Redden Smith’s, and running
through the Smith estate lands in front
ofthe Mnsury property, to tlio corpora
tion line.
The jury assessed the property at
8750.
They also assessed the right of way
through the Masury property, fixing
the price at 8000.
This is out of the corporation, and
the company foots the hill.
Two or three more pieeesof country
right of way, within three or four
miles of town, next Saturday, which
will close up the right of way in town
and county.
The company have already secured
the right of way through Colquitt
and Worth, probably with a few mi
nor exceptions.
It will thus be seen that everything
is being put in shape for the coni'
mencement of the road.
Mr. A. T. McIntyre who has work
ed day and night for the rond, never
flagging, never weakening, will prob
ably go to Macon this morning to see
the officials, with a view to closing up
the town’s action in the premises.
Fire Last Night.
A small house on Monroe street, the
property of Julius Walden, colored,
was burned last night. The depart
ment turned out, hut owing to the ab
sence of water the house was nearly
burned down before a stream was
turned on. The furniture wus saved
by the neigbors as Walden and his wife
were away. It was reported that
insurance to the amount of 8500-was
held on house and furniture. Origin
of the fire is iinknuiv.
The Board Met.
A quorum of the hoard of trustees
of the South Georgia College met in
the office of Judge Mitchell yesterday,
morning, I’rest. A. P. Wright in the
chair, and Mr. James F. Evans, act
ing Secretary.
Matters touching the interests of
the college were discussed, and some
routine business transacted
A resolution was adopted directing
Judge W. D. Mitchell, chairman of
special committee, to advertise for
correspondence relative to filling the
position of president, said correspond
ence to he laid before a full board,
which will meet on the 17th day of
June.
Instructions were issued to have
the building and grounds put in good

Revival Services.
The meetings at the Methodist
church are increasing in interest. The
congregations art growing each night
and the prayer meeting services are
well attended. Rev. Mr. Lovett has
preached some excellent sermons,
clear, pointed, and earnest, He is
stirring the people by his earnest ap
peals.
The prayer mceeting this morning
will be held with special reference to
children and young people. Parents
and the young people ol the commu
nity are specially invited to attend ser
vices at 9 o’clock.
Gus Hurst says he will attend the
big picnic at Ochlockoucc—if lie finds
himself able to tackle the dinner.
Colored S. S. Convention.
As a matter of general interest, an
interest which the white people feel
in reference to the moral training of
tlie colored race, we subjoin the fol
lowing from the Southwest Georgian:
“The Thomasville District Conven
tion of the Colored Baptist Sunday
Schools inct with Mount Calvary
Church in Cairo tiie 9th of May.
According to previous arrange
ments the introductory sermon was
preached by the President,Rev. T. W.
Cobb at 3 o’clock p. m. It was clear
and to the point. After the sermon
the president declared the convention
open for the transaction of business.
Secretary R. M. Colson aiiuouiictd
the following committees:
Committee on rending letters, Rev.
A. S. James, and Miss Alverta
Spence. Committee on finance, Rev.
G. L. Taylor, Rev. T. C. Williams
and Rev.D.W.Washington. Interest
ing communications were received
from the various churches in the dis
trict setting forth the condition of the
Sunday School work iu the diflercnt
charges. Fifteen charges were rep
resented by about thirty-five delegates,
besides a large uumher of vistors.
Through the instrumentality of
Rev. G. L. Taylor, chairman of Fi
nance Committee,delegates to the con
vention were given ouc fair for round
trip by the S., F. & W. R. R. authori
ties.
The report of the treasurer would
put to shame some of the religious
white people who met iu conventions.
R. W. Colson and T. W. Cobh
were appointed delegates to the State
Sunday School Convention. The
Convention then adjourned to meet
with Elizabeth church, (Iroovervillc,
Ga., on Friday before the 3rd Sunday
in September.
Those who preached during t he Con-
veil tfoh were Revi.D. W. Wasliington,
T. M. Cobh and A. C. Linton. Their
sermons spoke well for the advance
ment of the negro in religious mat
ters.”
Several creditable essays on Sunday
school work were read, amt a resolu
tion passed pledging all never to drink
mother drop of liquor. There are
many good colored men working hard
to improve their race, morally, socially
ml financially. They have the best
wishes, and will have theco operation
of the white people in this work.
A big union picnic is set down for
the 4th of June at Mr. Jo Massey’s;
so Jim Taylor says.
There were quite a number of com
mercial men in the city yesterday.
Mr. Riehard Turnbull, of Monti-
ccllo, Fla., has been appointed one of

Death of J. W. McRae.
Mki.rosi:, Fla., May 15.—J. W,
McRae died here at an early hour
this morning. 'The burial took placo

The deceased was a brother of t lie

Doing Their Master's Work.
The intimate and triendly relations
of protection and trusts and the sub
serviency of the republican party to
the interests of those who thrive by
bleeding the people, was thoroughly
illustrated in the house of representa
tives the other day.
In consideration of the tariff bill,
Mr. Anderson, ol Kansas, (a republi
can, but not an orthodox protectionist,
except to the extent of talking one way,
and voting the other in the last pinch),
moved an amendment empowering
the president, in his discretion, to
suspend the duty on articles which
shall become the subjects of trusts and
monopolies. The republican mem
bers were probably scattered about in
the cloak room, and the result was a
soiid democratic vote, reinforced by
two republican votes, and the measure
carried. Then the servile forces of
monopoly were rallied, and on a vote
by tellers the result was reversed, all
the republicans except two voting
against the proposition, and thereby
becoming the tools and declaring
themselves the friends of trusts, and
all other monopolies, as against the
people.
After the record made by the re
publicans in this congress in favor of
monopolies and despotism, if they
do not receive the scorn ol the people
and shall not he kicked out of the
trust they have betrayed and the hon
orable positions they have defiled, it
will be a difficult matter to conceive
of any legislative outrage which the
American people will rebuke.

plums at all and the apple crop is also
cut off very much.
