More About our Branch College.
The Timkh-Entkrpbise had some
thing to say yesterday morning, con
cerning the action of the University
Trustrces in cutting off tho branch
colleges of the patent institution, from
participation in the income, the uni
versity derives from tho land scrip
fund. There linve been no further
developments in the matter, and Col.
MacIntyre, our homo member of the
Board lias not returned from Athens.
There is a bit of unwritten history
in connection with the branch, colleges,
that is interesting in the light of sub
sequent events. When tire school
property at Thomasville and Cuthbcrt
was deeded to the university, the late
Judge Clarke, representing Outhbert,
inserted a clause in the deed, ccmveying
the property in that town,
proviso that it would revert to its
original owners, whenever the univer
sity failed orjrefused to grant an appro
priation for the support of the school.
Thoraasville’s representatives took tho
position that, by throwing themselves
entirely on the mercy of the Trustees
of the parent school,, and deeding
them the splendid pro perty in Fletch-
erville, without reservation,they would
establish a closer bond between the
two institution, aaid thereby gain a
better income, with, fewer chances of
its being cut off.
The result of their confidence is
tlmt the university holds the deeds to
the property, encu inhered it is true,
with the condition, that it shall al
ways be used fix r school purposes,
and Thomnsville i olds the responsi
bility of supporti ug the institution
without aid from tl ic real owners.
The property cos t our people n good
round sum, and :is useless as an in-
or o tho."wise, unless it is
used for school. ..purposes. It would
seem to- bo the. proper course inndor so
“Voter" Has Something to Say.
Editors Ti.ME.s-E.vTr.r.rnf'*'*
A good deal has been said, and
something has been written, as to who
shall represent Thomas county, and
the 7th Senatorial district in,the next
legislature.
It 1ms been suggested that ono man
from Thomnsville, nnd one man from
the county, outside of Thomnsville,
that will ho supported by the Alii*
ance, he placed in nomination for the
lower House.
This is a popular sentiment, and
is probably endorsed by the citizens of
Thomnsville.
Tt is thought that all good citizens
in town or country, are favorable to
the Alliance, and would assist its
members in carrying out the object of
their organization ; hence there can be
no objection to their naming a suitable
man ns their candidate. Hon. Rob
ert Alexander represented them ably
in the last General Assembly; he now
says he is not a candidate for re-elec
tion. Mr. A. (i. Moody is a member
of the Alliance order, and would make
a good representative. Hon. A
McIntyre, Jr., should be returned
His services to the county in securing
tho extension of the G. S. & F, Ry.
to Thomnsville, is an evidence that ho
can do his constituency further good
service. Let him he returned.
Boh Mitchell, not Boh Lee, is to
represent three counties, but must be
recommended by Thomas county.
This will, without doubt, be done, as
ho seems to lie a universal favorite.
If will be well to remember, that
neither of the gentlemen named, are
tax payers in the city of Thomnsville,
but they are not for that cause with'
out interest in the welfare of the town,
and the people of Thomasville are will-

Georgia, go to work to build up such

carry out the objects had iu view
when the school was first entablis.'ied.

Mr. J, M. Dreyer hns received and

produce at least 100 perfect copies of

A Suggestion.

will be a ve ry pleasant event. The
S. F. & W„ Ry. has given a reduced

tect and serve the best interests of. the
people, regnrdless of place of resi
dence. We are all democrats, let us,
therefore, pull together. If this is
replied to, 110 further communication
will be writteu by “VoTKB.”
Mr. Anton I*. Wright has returned
from Athens, where he lias been at
tending the .State University. He
took a line stand in his class, and his
detriment and application were
credit to him. Mr. Sam Cassels, Jr,
stopped at Augusta, where he

Mr. John W. Mitchell leaves for
New York to morrow to lake a place
with l’ike and Banks commission
merchants, for the season. He will
look carefully after all shipments
made-to his house. Ho has been ou
the road for the same house for some
weeks, and has secured a number of
consignments of melons, l’ike nnd
Banks handled quite a lot of pears
from this place last season, and their
sales were satisfactory.
Corrected Schedule.
We give place in our local columns
this morning to a revised schedule,
which gives arrival and departure
from Thomasville, of all I rains that
carry passengers.
Funeral Notice.
The friends nnd acquaintances of
Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Jeter are invited
to attend the funeral services of the
latter, from the family residence, up
per Broad street, this morning at 9
o’clock,
the end, and before anybody kiir.w it
the flame burst through into the ear
and almost stifled tho men.
The Videttes snapped tUo hell lino
tn two trying to stop the train, and
they had to get out of »he car the best
they could. Tho stampede for the
door leading into the front coach,
which was occupied by the Thomas-
villc Guards, caused almost a panic
in the coach, nud considerable excite
ment prevailed until private Hunter
of the Georgia Hussars pulled the
steam whistle cord nnd brought the
train to a stop.
The flumes were soon extinguished
by water from the engine. The Vi-
dottes caused some merriment among
the other soldiers as they walked
around through the train hugging
their guns, as if ready to leap through
a window if a second alarm of fire was
turned in. The fire was caused by a
spark from the engine.

II'jw would it do for our citizens to

An oration in the for.-noon an ad-

the Hussars will furnish dinner, the
tourney in the afeernoonn, the election
of ihe sponsor for the company and
supper afterwards, would makc a day
of pleasure, that would long be re

left in which to make preparations for
such an event, hence, if this sugges

The
and
Georgian Southern
Florida,
Tho Georgia Southern and Florida
lias opened a new and popular all
rail route for melon and pear shipments
to the east. The line made a good
record for time and condition last sea
son, and it is doing the same again.
The people of the melon belt feel very
kindly towards the G. S. & F., and
are giving it quite a liberal patronage. 1
How is That?
Tho Augusta Chronicle iu speakiug
of the Dalton Guards, says the com
pany traveled further to reach the
cncauipmcnt|than auy one present.
The Chronicle is in error iu this ; the
distance traveled by the Thomasville
Guards to reach Augusta wus .331
miles, the Dalton company traveled
271 miles. There is not mtc-h in the
matter, but it is just as well to be
correct.
Melon Shipments.
Melon shipments are heavy.
Never before in tho history ot the
business have so many cars gone for
ward so early in the season. It may
he that the growers are enwding the
markets too hard ; the weather is not
favorable in all the nmrketi; for good
prices, and it is to be feared that pri
ed will break under tlm heavy re
ceipts.

Superintendent Porter says of the
c ensus no ▼ being taken : “The rough

that the popu.' ltion mI1 not be ,ar

Many people will be surpr. :sed 10
learn that they are worth a iho. ,sand
dollars, or would be if there was an
equitable division. It would be inU ' r ‘
esting to see how many thousands,
hundreds of thousands, and millions
are concentrated in the hands ot the

will be, an equitable distribution of
