Thunder, Lighting and Rain
The thunder, lightning and rain
storm of Sunday night, was ono of the
severest that has visited this city in
some time. Immediately in town no
serious damage is reported, though
there were several narrow escapes. At
the Gulf, a little past seven, while sup
per was ott, a bolt of lightning came
in on the electric light wires, and tore
a large hole in the ceiling of the office,
almost directly over the reading ta
ble. About six or eight gc.itlemcn
were in the room at the time, and the
shock was so violent that it took them
sometime to lie sure that they them
selves had not been hurt. At Davis’
stable, on Jackson street, lightning
struck the electric, wire snapping it
like a thread, and of course putting
out the light. The most serious dam-
ngc was done out at Mr J. L. Lin
ton’s mill, by the rain. He was
building a brick foundation and dam
lor the improvements to be mndc in
his mill, and all his work for the past
two weeks, was washed away.
The fluid darted in on the electric
light wire, running into the parlor ol
the Stunrt house, and put the light
oat.
The house otMr. tim Kirkland, in
Fairvicw, was struck during the storm,
and considerable damage done. 1 he
roof for quite a space was badly torn
up, and the top of the chimney knock
ed off One side ol the house was also
damaged to a considerable extent.
Mr. George Crittenden was in the
side ol the house struck hy the light
ning, and lie received quite a shock.
For a few moments he says lie was
blind and deaf from the effects of the
Hash and jar. Fortunately lie was
not seriously hurt, but it was u narrow
escape. Both Mr. Kirkland and Mr.
Crittenden are raihoad engineers. '
Will Use Cotton Bagging,
A correspondent i f the Augusta
Chronicle, wiiling from Atlanta, says:
The Alliance will use cotton hag
ging this year despite the very low
price of jute. -State Secretary Burks,
with whom 1 talked yesterday, says
that at the present figures jute is 8
cents a yard nnd cotton 12A, but the
farmers are done with jute and pro
pose to have no more of it.
We hope the fat mors of Thomas
county will keep up the light with
their brethren throughout the stnto,
until the infamous jute trust is com
pletely busted.
Increased Free Delivery.
Postmaster General Wanuiimaker
several months ngo recommended tl.o
extension qf the free delivery system
to cities which have 5 000 and postal
receipts amounting to 87,000 a year.
This would let Thomasville in. We
arc reminded in this connection,
that postmaster Smith is entitled to
more clerical assistance than he is bc-
ing given by tlio government Espe
cially is this the ease in winter, when
the town is full oi visitors

Not Caused by the Rain.
Cairo, Ga., Aug. 4, 1890
E-litor Timss-Extbui-kise:
I sec from your paper of last Sat
urday, that brother Moody thinks the
rnins on the 25lh nit., was the cause
of his defeat in our primary. I merely
write to let the people of other parts
of the county know, that it is the
opinion of all the people on this side
of the river that it was the number
of votes that “Bob” got, that caused
the dittircnce, and not the rain.

Quay’s Negro Club Against It.
Pim.iDKMMMA, Aug. 3.—The
Mathew Stanley Quay Club of this
city,, composed entirely of colored
men, Gilbert Ball, a promincut politi
cian, being its prrsidcut, held a large
ly attended meeting this afternoon
ami unanimously passed resolutions
to the effect that the federal election
hill, which was recently passed hy the
House of Representatives, and is now
awaiting action hy the Senate, is not
practical and will not help the politi
cal condition ot the colored mnn in
the south, hut will rather have a ten
deucy to keep alive race prejudices.
The club, therefore, expresses a hope
that the hill will not become a law.
Reed threatens to hold the house iii
session until the Senate passes the
force hill. It is said that some of the
Republican .Senators think Mr. Reed
should he satisfied with running the
house. It would seem that that would
satisfy an ordinary man. But Reed
is not an ordinary man; lie is an extra
ordinary political rascal.
