Thomasville, Ga., j
July 2,1890. f
Editors Timeh-Kxtkupiiisk:
It affords me real pleasure to see by
your paper of this morning, that the
citizens of Thomasville are well nigh
unanimous in,their endorsement of
the Hon. S. G. McLendon, as a can
didate for the legislature.
I have recentty mingled with mem
bers of the legislature, who served
witli him, and I am assured by them,
that he was one of the most popular
aud influential members of the body.
You are aware, or ought to be, that
the intelligence and morality of a
community is judged by the intelli
gence, morality and manly bearing of
its representatives.
Mr. McLendon’s intelligence gave
him the popularity which enabled him
to procure the appropriation for the
completion of our college buildings, of
which every citizen of the county
should be proud, and entitles him to
gratitude.
I was born on a farm, raised on a
farm, and am now a farmer, though
not a member of the Farmers Alii-
anceand there is not a member in Thom
as county who is a stronger ndvocate
of the Alliance movement than I am,
and I rejoice that the time has come,
or is coming, when the farmer is de
termined to break the shackles which
have always made “him the hewer of
wood aud drawer of water” for the
commercial world. Though a lawyer,
and of course, not a member of the
Alliance, I ant satisfied that we could
send no man to the legislature who
would fight harder, or do more for the
iutcrest of the farmer than S. G. Mc
Lendon.
Farmer.
More About our Post Office.
The Times-Enterprise spoke some
days ago' of an investigation made
several months ago by Inspector
Carnes of the departinent,|that was un
favorable to Postmaster Smith. It is
understood that his report has
been set aside and a new one ordered.
.Inspector Carnes was ordered here to
make an investigation of the business
of the office, looking to an increased
appropriation for clerical help. He
went outside of this, however, and
made a partlzan report against Mr.
Smith.
The new inspecsion will be made at
an early date.
Judge H. W. Hopkins and daugh
ters, Misses Bessie and Fannie, re
turned yesterday from Philadelphia.
The Misses Hopkins have been at
tending schools at Germantown and
Bryn Mawr Pa.
From across the water, Mr. Louis
Steyerman has received the pleasing
intelligence that a young and promis
ing bay has been added to his family
circle. Mrs. Steyerman is visiting
relatives in London.
Thomasville will be a lively place
to-morrow. The alliances of the
county will meet in the Court House,
and the attendance promises to be
very large. It is understood that the
question of a guano factory and oil
miH will cotne up discussion and per
haps action. The members pf the
order in Thomas county are very con
servative and their action on this as
on all othernr.atters, will be guided by
prudence and judgment.
One of Brooklyn’s Best.
Mr. George T. Stallings, who resid
ed here for several months a 'few years
ago, is with the Brooklyn Club of the
National League, and the sportng
papers say itiat he bid- fair to become
a very valuable member This is his
first year with the Brooklyns, but he is
not a new man in the profession by
any means, having played with such
clubs as the Philadelphia, Binning-
'tain, Stockton and Oakland, Gala.
When Thomasville had a semi-profes
sional nine some years ago, and base
ball was at its height, Mr. Stallings
was one of its strongest players.
Not too Young to Steal.
Yesterday about noon when Mr.
Charlie Thompson's foundry on Jack-
son street was locked up, and Mr.
Thompson away, a little negro gamin
named John Blackshear entered the
works; he was heard by some white
children, who informed Mr. Thompson
who captured him in the second story
of the foundt y, where he was looking
for tools. Notwithstanding his cries
and promises he was locked uy.
A Correction.
In the list of signatures to the address
to the democratic voters of tho coun
ty, published yesterday morning, the
name C. 8. Parker ought to have
been J. F. Parker. It was an error
of the printer and the proof reader.
Prof. Charles W. Hutton, th e
newly elected president of South
Georgia College was in the city Sat
urday and Sunday. lie will return
tho latter part of August, in time to
make arrangements for the opening
of tho fall term of the college, lie
made a very pleasant impression on
those that met him, while in the cify.
■> How Will They Stand ?
The census of 1890 has been taken;
but the official figures have not been
given out. The following will show
how Thomasville and some of her
neighboring towns stood, according to
the census of 1880:
Camilla 672
Valdosta 1,515
Bainbridge 1,436
Quitman 1,400
Albany 3,216
Americus 3,635
Cairo 275
Boston 366
Ochlockonee 117
Thomasville 2,555
The census of 1890 will show some
big gains on the part of many of the
towns mentioned. Americus, Boston
and Valdosta will show large gains ;
while all the other points will no
doubt show a steady and healthy
growth. Thomasville can afford to
rest on her laurels. She has more
than doubled her population; and this
is something which few towns of like
population have done in Georgia. In
the same ratio Thomasville will have
a population of more than Ten Thou
sand, when the next census is taken;
While discussing the population of
towns, it may be interesting to see how
the counties around here footed up in
1880. Here are the official figures:
Brooks . ...11,727
Colquitt 2,527
Decatur 19,072
Dougherty 12,622
Lowndes 11,049
Mitchell 9,392
Thomas........ 20,597
Thomus county will ruu 30,000
very close, this census.

address of yesterday morning paid

proper appreciation of it-

The farmers down in South Geor
gia are too busy shipping watermel
ons, just now, to bother much about
politics. There is more money in
pocketing 875 per car load for molons
than hurrahing around for some can
didate.
Only a little more than a month,
-until tho democratic state convention
meets it Atlanta. The indications
are, that all the old state house of
ficers will be renominated. They are
all good and true men.

Georgians Speak.
Turner and Lester, loaded as they
were, to the muzzle, opened their bat- •
terics on the infamous fedeial election
bill on Monday. They did not have
but five minutes, each, but they made
Rome howl, while they held the floor.
A special from AVashington to the
Neats, says:
The debate on the “force” bill grew
very warm to-day. So far there have
been only set speeches. To-day the
hand-to-hand fight under the five-
minute rule began. Among the mag
nificent assaults upon this infamous
measure, which calls in to being a
horde of partisan hirelings to do the
will of their masters, and which creates
a gigantic corruption fund and a
powerful machine to perpetuate the
power of the republican party, were
those of Turner ahd Col. Lester of
Georgia, and their arguments were
clear, forceful, irresistable in logic and
faultless in delivery.
Throughout the delivery of the
ringing pleas of these distinguished
Georgians against the proposition to
turn back the hands of time to the
dark days of the reconstruction period,
wild and tumultuous applause inter
rupted them.

Attention Cadets.
The management of tho military
display for Friday July 4th, is aux-
ious to have the Cadets join in the
parade.
In order that it may be ascertained
if tho requsite number cau be pres-
eut, it is requested that all Cadets
who can be present and participate in
parade, will please report as soon as
possible to Lieut. B. P. AValker.
Hardeman May Retire.
The committee to arrange a joint
debate between Cols. Hardeman and
Northen, met in Atlanta, on Monday,
and declared tho discussion off. The
precarious condition of Col. Harde
man’s health will not justify him iu
going into an active canvas, It is
understood that his friends have ad
vised him to retire, and that he will
probably do so nt an early day.
Georgia’s Claim for $35,000
AVashington, June 30.—Mr.
Clements wns heard to-day by the
appropriations committee favoring an
appropriation of 835,000 to pny the
state of Georgia the amount due it
under the the Trezevant claim. The
appropriation will be made.
The claim is an old one, and the
state should get it.
it is Leased.
Governor Gordon, on Monday,
notified the I.. & N. Co. that their bid
of $35,001 per month, for 29 years,
of the AV. &. A. Ry., was accepted by
the state. This puts the state road
out of politics for twenty-nine years.
Gov. Gordon, the state and everybody
else, are to be congratulated.
It begins to look as if Northen, af
ter all, may have a walk over, Col,
Hardeman’s wisest and best friends
think be made a mistake in coming
out. He may retire from tho rate.
