Under this Lend we publish, else where, n communication signed ‘‘Jttc tice.” The writer stys the order is "not dabbling in politics, but has waded iu deep, and are going to rlosh around generally tl-'s summer.” We can only say that Grand Leo turer Terrell, ol Texas, when he was here, advised the order not to dabble in politics m “slosh found genera' ly.” The question is whether tho grand lecturer knew what was bed for the order. He stands hit'll iu the councils of the order. Alliiiuccraen ofThoinri county w’’! rememberliis words of warning against mixing up the order in politics, when he spoke here, last summer. So much for that. Defending the position that the alliance should name both the repre ssntatives and the senator, our cor respondent says: “We’ve had nothing for a ioug fate.” Let’s see about th : s Sineo the reconstruction pciiod Thomas county has had time sena tors, McDone'd, Turner and Mitch ell. Tho two P-st were from the country. Tit's looks like the coun ti f ha/hnd .he lion’s f hare of senators, doesn’t it? Now rs to the house of representa tive;. When Thomas county democrats, by a mighty effort, d’senth-r’led the county from rauicnl rule, in 1873, site elected Hammond an I 1* Mer man. Here follows the representa tives for'tlie yenu following: Hammond and W :, inot; 1877, Hammond and Burch ; 187'J, Ham ntond and Sapp, 1881, Patten and Spengler, 1883, McLendon and Al exander, 1885, McLendon and Freak; lin, 1887, last Mfclntyro and Alex- 'planflr, "Whs imm ns the country’s candidate; and in 1887, Franklin was named ns tiic choice of the couutry. In 1885 the section beyond the river was asked to name a mnn. The friends of Me. srs Pope and Ballard, could not agree, and the result was thnt Judge Alex ander and S. G. McLendon were elected. Now, if “Justice’’ is what Ids name implies, he must, in the light of these facts, admit that tho country lips been fairly dealt with by the town In only one instance, since 1873, and that was when they d : «agrc:d among themselves, lias the country fai'ed to name one of the representa tives. Does this look like the coun try lias “lmd nothing for u long time”? They linve had two senators out of three, and, as shown, named one man for the house (except in one nstance, wheu they disagreed among themselves) for every legislative con vened sineo 1873. In this contest the town is suppos ing two candidates from the country, Messrs Ivey and Parker and Mitclie". for the ecnate. Is there anything unfair or greedy in the action of the town, in this ? If there is we fall to see it; and we do not believe fair minded men Jn the country sec it. The town lias nobly stood by every candidate put out liy tho county in the past; and she is doing the same thing now, and she,—not only she, but hundreds of countrymen—a"'« ancemen, too—ask, that while these two gentlemen be sent to the house, that tho unstained, pureless patriot, Robt. G. Mitchell be scut to the sen ate. : ‘ Li I On i I f i AT ! n I'm Broad Street. It is just as wcP to remember that democrats are notgiving a halfheart ed support to Hons. A. W. Ivey and J. M. Parker for the House. There are no sulkers iu the domociatic tents, and every man is doing Ids whole duty. It is said that a new and extensive brick wake house will be put up at no distant day by the S. F. A W. Ity. It will front on Jackson street. The old wooden warehouse will bo torn down to make track room. An Important Meeting We publish in another column this morning the proceedings of the pear growers’ meeting, held in Judge Mitch ell's office yesterday morning. The Timfs-Enteuprisf. regards the meet ing as an important one for many reasons. Important because such men as Capt. L. L. Varnedoe, Judge W. I). Mitchell, Messrs. T. E. Black shear, W. R. and J. I'. Pittman, E. I., Neel, A. A. Cassidy, T. J. Horne, W, B. Roddenberry, L. A. and L. G Varnedoe, L. P. Singleta r y, H. H. Sanford and Reese & Eason come together they are drawn by more than a passing whim or impulse. The gist of the impo'se unde.- which they acted is the belief that they ara not getting as much money lor t’le'r pears as they ought to receive, when i< is laken into consideration that all kinds ol 'uits are scarce in the north ern markets. It is a fact that the price of pears is no higher than it was last year, when the crop was ten times an great, and ?'l varie. es of '.tits were equally as plen; fill, Whether this is due to t.he fact that the New York ina-ket has received more >hr n she ought, or is due to other causes it is certa'i that the prices are tco low. There is one result that is lure- to foilow the movement, for as we lake it it is un'y the first step that has been taken, and that the result wi” be plan of co operation that will enable the growers to distribute the crop, This last is tne key note of the situa tion, whether the volume he great or small, U all the growers could be brought to see the advantages stand mg together in this matter, it would be a great advance " om the present. Every man for lumselt and the devil take the headmost” plan that lias here tofure prevailed. 'the- -Times-Enterprise stands ready to do all in its power to help the growers, but at last the help must conic trom themselves. In the mean time, keep this thought in t.ew, grow er.-: come together; what is for the in tereit of one will help all. A Pear Growers Association J* you waut to do the pear g -owers a service, encourage and promote the formation of an Association that will secure the eo-operatiou of every grow er iu South Georgia. In all probability the association will organize nn Exchange, fash, ioued after the Orange Exchange in Florida, and this Exchange will in turn, see to- the distrihutiou of the crop. Another good cflect tint will follow the formation of the Exchange will lie that buyers will become as plentiful ns soliciting agents have been hero before. Wheucvei a man puts his good money into pears, he be comes a hull at once, and does all in his power to keep prices up. We have only touched this matter iu hare ou?' ; nc, but we think a mo ment’s reflection will convince grow ers that the Association is a necessity, and when the Association has been formed, we nre confident the Ex-- change wi'l follow. There is one good at least, that the melon syndicate did the past season, it brought buyers in to the melon belt, and just so, a Pear Exchange, will bring buyers. Boom the Association, idea, and you boom the LeCoutc pear, and the interests of South Georgia. In the Turner Column.

July 14.—A prominent republican of this city, and one who holds an iinpoi.'nt federal office, said to your correspondent to-day: “I w ;, l, if tho forn hill pe sr;, 110 louger consent to act as au inspector at elect ions.

Galena, III.,July 15.—John Roth, wiio outdid Tanner in his celebrated fait, died yesterday at the county asyl um, having passed his sixtieth day of total abstinence from food or nourish ment, except a small quality of water, which was forced into b>s stomach mechanically every twenty- four hours. For such an absolute fast his record is no doubt the longest ever made. Recently Roth worked at Scales Mound, near this city, till attacked by progressive paralysis two mouths ago, which incapacitated him for work and soon mado it impossible for him to cat. After a week of fasting ho was brought to the county asylum May 23, and there liugered for fifty- three dava without food. Pear Quotations. New York, ) July 17, 1800. { Special to Times Enterprise.

Knapp. Few men in the south have, within a comparatively short petiod, made more reputation as a railroad man than Major A.JC. Knapp, the General Traffic Manager of the Georgia South ern and hiorida radroad. The Macon Telegraph, in a recent issue, says: Traffic Manager A. C. Knapp, of the Georgia Southern and Florida, is regarded among associate railroad men as an eminently proper person to be m >de a member ol the railway commission. At present Mr. Knapp is in Atlanta mapper-as ?i expert in some mattr-s before the commision- ers. Major Knapp is an expert. He has studied and mastered the intrica cies of the railroad problems of the day. And they r-c numerous and complicated. The gentleman was at one time a citizen of ThomasUlle, and he has many friends iiere who arc watching his onward and upward course with both interest and pride. Two negroes fought a duel near Birmingham, Ala., the other day. One was shot through the heart. Mrs. Lillian M, Gould stabbed her husband with a dine in Murphy, N. C„ last week, and killed him. They were from England. Gould abused and beat his wife and she killed him. Stanley, the African explorer, who was matried the other day, is a very sick man. But he has some one to nurse him. There’s something ill that. The old chestnut about Spain being willing to sell Cuba, lias been revived in New York. It is a cold day when New York journalists fa-1 to get up something new.
