Mr. S. T. Klngsberry, the Attor
ney of the Plant System, Hurt
in a Railroad Accident.
What might. haTe been a serious nc
output, occurred yesterday morning
on the accotniriodaiion, as it was des
cending the long grade between Oeh-
lockonee and the river. The train
broke loose ti.boyt the middle, and the
engineer, unconscious of the detach
ment of the rear portion of his train,
kept spinning nlong at a pretty lively
rate, gaining fora short time on the de
tached portion of the train.- How*
ever, the momentum of the rear por
tion of the trniD, uncontrolled by the
engine, soon began to tell, and the
cars running wild were soon turning
their wheels, at a dangerous speed.
Soon it overtook the front detachment,
smashing in the ends of the two col
liding freight cars. This shook up
everybody bndly in the passenger
conch, but no one was hurt Mr. S.
T. Kiugsberry.'the assistant counsel
of the Plant System, who happened to
be in tbe haggugc car, did not fare so
well. He was ; tlirnwn violentlyagaiust
a trunk, fracturing—it is thought—
bis shoulder. Mr. King-berry was
met at the depot by the company’s
surgeon, Dr; A. P. Taylor, and taken
to the Gulf house, where his injuries
had prompt attention.

North Georgia just now, and Lee is a
forlorn beocdict, but you will find the

Sec new ad.
A Remarkable Record.
The census returns show that there
were only dix deaths in the Duncan
ville district, lor the year ending May
.11 nt. We doubt if there is another
district in the county or state, which
can make such a healthy showing.
And there is not n doctor in the dis
trict, remarked our informant. This
then, perhaps, is the explanation of
the remarkably low mortuary record
of that district.
Miss Annie Smith left yesterday
morning to visit relatives in Culloden,
Ga. She will be absent several weeks.
Just before the hiur for the Hus
sars to present their Sponsor and
Maids of Honor, with their epaulettes,

fell. This put a temporary damper
on the proceedings.

Miss Chipdla Wiggins entertained
quite a number of her young friends
on Wednesday evening with a party.
Different games, etc., such as the
young people enjoy so much, were in
dulged in to ii late hour. Choice re
freshments were served during the
evening. Evety one present express
ed themselves ns hnving enjoyed the
evening very much.
A Brilliant Pageant.
The Hussars formed yesterday af-.
ternoon, at 4:45, on Madison St. .And
marched to the residence of Dr. J. G.
Hopkins on Dawson, where theformnl
ceremony of presenting the company
to the Sponsor and Maids of ' Honor
took place. The street was filled with
carriages, containing ladies and gen
tlemen, who gathered to witness tho
occasion. With nodding plumes aud
drawn sabres, the Guards drew up
and fronted tho house. Capt. Mac-
lean made an eloquerit speech, in
which he eulogized womatr, ranking
her with God’s best creation. His
tribute to Southern woman, in war
and ponce, was very fine. At tho con
clusion of the speech the young ladies
mounted their horses and marched
with the company down to tho inter
section of Jackson and Dawson; where
the artist, Mr. Molier. took a picture
of tho mounted group.
The young ladies who now bear tho
relation of Sponsor and Maids of Hon
or to the company are, Miss Honorine
Mitchell, Sponsor, and Misses Emma
McIntosh, Minnie Evans and Rosa
Neel, Maids of Honor.
The young ladies wore tight fitting
jackets trimmed with yellow, nnd or
namented with rows oi military but-
toms. They presented n handsome
appearance and sat their horses firmly
and gracefully,
Tho Hussars have a right to bo
proud of their sponsor nnd maids of
honor; and we arc quite sure that the
young ladies will always be proud of
the gallant company of gentlemen
constituting the Hussars.
Fred Justice, who is well known to
the grocery trade of tho town, having
been connected with several grocery
houses for a number of years, is now

Mr. C'fnyt Dickinson, who has been
taking a special course in the Phila
delphia School of Pharmacy this sum
mer, perfecting himself in the higher
branches of the business, is expected
home in the early part of next week.
His friends will be glad to see him in
Thomasville again.
A dispatch from Fort Valley
where the State Horticultural conven
tion is in session, says that H. H.
Sanford it Co., have twenty, eight va
rieties of pears on exhibition. Mr.
Sanford is at the convention. He is
one of the practical and successful
fruit men of Georgia.
Every town in Georgia claims tho
prettiest girl in the State, and calls
J. M. High A Co’s, attention to the
fact. That offer of a $1,000, for tho
prettiest girl in Georgia to represent
Lnila Rookh, has stirred up the edi
tors. Thomasville put her claim in
promptly, nnd insists that tbe iden
tical girl is right here.
There were some very handsome
views on exhibition yesterday at Reid
and Culpepper’s, taken by the artist,
Mr. Molier. They are designed to
appear in the illustrated folder, fifty
thousand of which will be distributed-
this season, descriptive of Thomasville
and vicinity. These views were taken
of scenery in and around “Glen Ar-
ven.” Among others is a fine view of
the rustic arch and entrance, to the
park ; also of a herd of deer. These
latter aro very fine.
Bainbridgc is going to have a cot
ton press. It will be at work in a
few days. And this, according to the
Democrat is going to be the result:
We have positive assurances of at
least three, and probably half a dozen,
regular export cotton buyers (Turing
tho approaching cotton season who
will buy for exportation direct to
European ports. This is certain, and
Bainbridgc will be the best cottoQ
market in all Southern Georgia this
winter.
Respectfully submitted to the care
ful and prayerful consideration of the
merchants of Thomasville.
“Who wrote the Psalms f" asked the
superintendent severely. And then a
little girl in the intant class began to
cry. "It wasn’t mo, sir,” sho said.

Grimes has had to walk the log.
Ho went down with a dull thud, be
fore the sub-tieasury plan, at La-
Grange on Wednesday. A. Moses
will go to congress from the 4th dis
trict! It remains to be seen whether
this modern Moses is better able to
lead his people out of the wilderness,
than was the gallant Grimes.
The congressional mortality list is
growing in Georgia. Crisp hasrft
been ailing; Turner recovered yester*
day from a sovere attack; Lester isn’t
very ill; Blount is slowly convalesc
ing, though not out of danger, while
Barnes is critically ill. Stewart and
Clements are no more; the places
which know them in Washington,
will perhaps, know them no more.
Such is (political) life.
A Fast Age-
An old railroader says: It used to
be that they couldn’t turn n wheel
any too fast for me, but it’s different
now. The way these fellows run now
adays makes my hair stand on end.
We used to think that twenty-five or
thirty miles an hour was high running.
People were just as well satisfied, if
not more so than now, and there were
not so many accidents. Those days
when a man got on the ground there
was some chance of his getting away
alive, but when you touch ground- on
one of these fast runs now you’re
mighty liable to stay there. People
are getting to look upon n mile n min
ute as n common thing, and are just
howling mad at a road that doesn’t
make it. All they think about is get
ting to their destination.
Kicks Out of the Democratic Party.
Montgomery, Ala., July 30.—
News has been received here that
General Joe Wheeler, of-the eighth dis
trict, is to have opposition. The
Moulton Advertiser, published in
Wheeler’s district, to day contains the
announcement of A. C. Ashford as the
alliance candidate. He will not sub
mit his claims to the democratic con
vention. General Wheeler, it is under
stood, will be renominated without op
position. The Alliance, heretofore,
has been working inside the democrat
ic party in this state, and well-informed
politicians do not believe any consider
able number will vote against the reg
ular nominees of the party in any oi
the disiricts.
They Wired Him.
The following dispatch was sent to
Capt. Turner immediately after the
Albany convention adjourned, by the
committee on ratification:
Albany, Ga., July 31, 1890.
Hon. H. G. Turner, Washington.
You arc the nominee by acclama
tion of the democracy of this district,
nnd we will elect you.
O. B. Stevens, Cb’m,
Ben E. Russell,
K. T. Maclean,
W. W. Davis,
R. Hobbs.
The democrats of the second district
are in the habit of electing their man.
The “boycott” continues to be a
prolific theme of discussion. The firm
attitude of the south has set the big
northern manufactories, jobbers and
wholesale dealers at the north to think
ing—and acting. Thousands of peti
tions are pouring into the Senate, pro
testing against the passage of the force
bill. The agitation will go on, and the
result may be, that the bill will be de
feated, though this is hardly probable.
