The reporter paid a visit yesterday
to the Thomasville Marb'e Works.
The works are situated on Jackson
street, and the firm is composed of
Messrs. I . B. Aldrich and W. M.
Morse, both of whom are fine work-
men.and businessjmen. By'thtir liberal
dealings they have made many friends
iu Thomasville. The works may be cal),
one of Thomasville’s new enterprises,
as it has only been in operation a few
months. The firm came here Irom
North Carolina, and Mr. Morse, who
is the artist of the works, while young
in years, is old in experience,
and some of the work executed by him
would d> credit to any one. The
works receive their marble {from the
principle marble quarries of the coun
try and the sandstone trom Alabama, in
rough, and is worked and finished at
their shop here, so they are prepared
to execute many of the thousand
elegant designs they have on hand.
One of the firm is almost constantly on

prise 0. the kind in this section, they
nave a large territory to work. I hey
cover the country embracing Albany,
Tallahassee on to Bainbridge, Val-

great deal of the work done is the ex-

They handle the Italian, Vermont,Ten
nessee and Georgia marble, and they
always have .-ome beautifully finished
work on hand as samples. They alto
deal in coping and iron fencing for
cemetery lots, andkeep’a .lice selection
ot the latest designs in stock. The
motto of the Thomasville Marble
Works is honesty and good work, and
any one dealing with the clever gen
tlemen who constitute the firm is sure
to be well pleased.

A Plea for Brutes.
Editor Timks-Enterprisb:
I would like to know what has be
come of the “Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animnls.” There is a
crying necessity for it, here, in Thom
asville. The number of poor old
half dead horses, mules and oxen,
which are handled and driven so
brutally on our streets every day need
the watchful care of some protecting
hand. Ir. the name of mercy, let the
society re-erganize. Nobody wants
to appear malicious by reporting in-
divi luals who violate the law, and if
the society will re-organize and do its
duty, it has a great work. In the
meantimo, let every one who discovers
anyone treating one of these poor
dumb brutes cruelly, report the mat
ter to Solicitor T. N. Hopkins, (and
I believo he is also the attorney for
the society,) and full justice will be
meted out to the offenders. Do your
duty.in this matter.
Humanity.
To Builders and Contractors.
Special attention is called to the
advertisement of Messrs. Beverly &
Burch. These gentlemen are exten
sive dealers in all kinds of lumber.
They will deliver on the cars, or
anywhere wanted, all kinds of rough
or dressed lumber, in any quantities,
and at fair prices. Their mills are
located eight miles west of the town.
See them before placing your orders
for lumber.
What the Real Estate Men Say
About Tourist Travel
A real *^ ut0 j ea j cr Ea ; ( i j yesterday:
“I am receiving more applications
for rooms and inquiries from North
ern visitors about Thomasville at
present than ever before, this early in
the season, and I think that they arc
coming much earlier than usual.
Summing up the facts irom a real
estate man’s points of observation, the
outlook for a fine tourist business is
indeed flattering. All the other real
estate men are of the same opinion,
and arc being besieged with letters.”
Montgomery Beats Her Record.
Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 1.—The
cotton receipts of Montgomery for the

bales, the largest receipts in the histo
ry of the city.

of tho Alabama Midland Ry., is our
next: door neighbor. It is about as
near os Savannah.

THE CROP OF 89-90.
A Train on the L. & N. Ry.
Held up and Robbed by One
* Man.
The express car on a night pas
senger train of the L. & N. Ry., was
held up and robbed at Pensacola
trestle, forty miles from Pensacola, at
ten o’clock Monday night, by a single
robber who stopped the train on the
trestle, and at the point of his pistol
compelled the engineer to go back the
express car, and break open the safo
with an ax. The messenger showed
no resistance and the robber cooly
ordered the engineer to place the
valuables in a coffee sack. The rob
ber escaped. None of the passengers
were molested. Of course Rube
Burrows will be given tho credit of
tho work, but it is not known who tho
the man was.

Cotton is King—The Largest Crop
Ever Hade—The South on Top.
New Orleans, Sept. 1.—The New
Orleans cotton exchange issued to day
the official report of the cotton crop of
the United States for the commercial
year ending with tho close of August,
1890, made up by Secretary Hester.
The report states that the total crop
amounts to 7,311,322 bales, exceed
ing the largest crop ever grown by
265,489 bales, and the crop of last
year by 373,032. Tho statement will
bear the closest scrutiny.
mills at the south.
The number of mills in operation
is 270, with 1,665,191 spindles. Thir
ty-nine new mills, with 241,864 spin
dles, have commenced working during
the year, and fifteen new mills have
been completed and will bo at work
this fall.
The increaso in the number of spin
dles during the past year is equivalent
to nearly one-half of the entire nutn
her reported in the south by the cen
sus of 1880. The census of that year
showed 164 mills, with 761,360 spin
dles. The gain within the past ten
years has been 172 mills, with 1,226,-
477 spindles, tho incrensc in the num
ber of bales of cotton consnmed hav
ing beeu 307,615, or more than 189
per cent.
Tho foreign exports, including 55,
491 to Canada, were 4,955,931 bales
a gain over lost year of 165,253.
Tho takings of cotton during the
year for consumption iu the United
States amounted to 2,346,152 bales.
Ot this 1,799,258 bales went to north
ern spinners, against 1,785,979 last
season. This shows an increaso of
only 13,279 balos, against an increase
tho south of nearly 68,000 bales.
Jerusalem for the Jews.
Berlin, Aug. 31.—Perhaps the
persecution of tho Jews in Russia and
Poland, under the anti-Semitic edicts
of the czar, may cause the first long
and practical step to be taken toward
that hope so dear to every Jewish
heart throughout the world—that Pa
lestine may be recolonizcd and inha
bited exclusively by tho children of
Isrcal. Funds have been started
several of tho grent cities of tho conti
nent to aid the poorer Jews of Russia
and Poland to carry out this plan, and
hundreds of families of Russian Jews
are arranging to emigrate to escape
persecution.
To Vote or Not to Vote.
The Mississippi Constitutional Con
vention is still “rastlm” with the fran
chise question. A dispatch from
Jaskson yesterday says:
“It is announced" that the report of
the committee on elective banchise
will be submitted to-mcnow or bv
Wednesday. Its provisions have
been agreed on, and nothing remains
to be done but the labor of drafting
the report. The cause of woman suff
rage seems to be falling off. The
country press stands almost solidly ar
rayed against it, but a vigorous fight
will be made in bchalt of it on the
floor of the convention, and the issue
is still in doubt.
The Next Senator.
Gov. Gordon has been unanimously
indorsed for the Senate by the Taylor
county alliance, and by the mass meet
ing which convened in Trenton on
Saturday.
Frost at Baltimore.
Baltimore, Sept. i.—There was a
slight frost in parts of Baltimore coun
ty last night.
A single orange tree in Florida has
been known to bear 8,000 oranges in
a year.
Tho conference committee, 0 n the
river and harbor bill agreed to a re
port yesterday. The amount appro
priated is 824,981,295, Harrison isho-
ing urged to veto the bill when it is
agreed to, as it will be. He will
hardly do so.
