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.

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.

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.

The precarious condition of Col.

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.
