McTyre’a spring is a popular place
on Sunday mornings
Thomas county has a good crop of
cereals, but her cotton supply is short.
Straight democratic tickets will be
dropped into the slot to-day. Vote
early, but not often.
The present cool spell has decreas
ed the demand for ice. However,
there is a good demand for it here all
winter.
Don’t fail to read the announce
ment ot Miss Laura Jones, in reter-
ence to her grand opening of Fall and
Winter Millinery.
It should not be iorgotten that the
Thomasville Iron Works are prepar
ed to turn out all kinds of first class
work. They employ the very best
workmen, and turn out jobs equal to
the best in the state.
There are two exquieitely hand-
painted lace curtains on exhibition at
Wolfl’s. The designs, and their ex
ecution, stamps the designer and work
er as a true artist. They were de
signed and executed by Mrs. J. P,
McAuley, the Principal of the South
Georgia College. The specimens of
art are well worth stopping in to sec.
Charles Rice, principal of the Clay
street colored school, will opin
his school this morning. The
principal of the Clay street
school has made it one the best color
ed schools in this section. He is a
good scholar, understands imparting
knowledge, and is a successful trainer
ot youth. In addition to the regular
curriculum, bojs will be learned how
to handle and use tools. The new in4>
dustrinl idea is a most excellent one,
and should insure the school a good
patronage.
OUT FOR A RIDE.
A Pleasant Part;/ out Monday
Night.
The cool fall mornings and even
ings nre just the thing to induce the
lovers of the saddle out for a ride.
There is a peculiar indescribable,some-
thiug in the woods that to many
makes fall the most charming of all
the season To the lover of gun and
dog, it reminds him that the season
for a “day off’’ after the little brown
quail, away from the city’s busy
streets, is approaching, and to each
and every one tho atmosphere is
crisp and invigorating. Every pleas
ant day now parties and couples can
be seen out on the boulevard, the
river road, Glen Arven, or some
other of the many attractive drives
around tho city. Monday night
found a merry party out enjoying a
delightful evening’s ride: The party
consisted of Mr. S. L. Mallard and
Miss Fannie Hopkins, Mr. C, S.
Bondurant and Miss George Mitchell,
Mr. Maurice Grausman aud Miss
Lula Baker and Mr. B. M. Comfort
and Miss Stella Baker. Others will
probable follow the example of this
the first riding parly of the season.
Open Cotton.
Tho farmers in this section report
more open cotton in the fields than
they usually sec at this season of the
year. In some places it is nearly all
open, Tho recent heavy rains have
improved the crop considerably, and
there is a general scarcity of hauds to
pick the cotton.
Thomasville’s Trade.
Editor Times-Emtkrpsise
In an article referring to tho above
subject you recemly wrote the words
“Thomasville should be widening the
borders of her trade instead of draw
ing them in ” This is the pertinent
statement of a terse truth. The mat
ter of Thomasville’s trade is a debated
question. Some hold one opinion
while others difler, but laying aside
optimism and pessimism for tho once,
let us examine the cold facts in the
case. The truth will not hurt, and if
it does,’tis only the surgeon’s scalpel
that lays bare the excrescence that
injures the body politic.
It is appropriate first to determine
if the trado has decreased or contract
ed, aud if so, then tho cause. The
bed rock of Thomasville’s trade is cot
ton. As with many of our sister
towns in South Georgia where manu
facturing is an unknown quantity, the
thermometer is gusged by and fluctu
ates with the quantity of cotton mar
keted at the prices that obtain.
Now for some statistics, which it is
proper to say is not the result of guess
work, or trade-heated imagination
but gathered from reliable business
men of the respective places.
HALES OF COTTON SHIPPED.
From 1880
Thomasville 11,000
Boston 3,000
Cniro 1,200
Ocblockonee , 300
Metcalfe 0000
Total 15,500 22,2C0
Ten years ago Thomasville handled
over two thirds the entire crop ship
ped from this county ; this season she
received less thau one third. If she
had only kept up with the procession;
her average would have been nearly
15,000 bales, but as a fact she has fall
en behind one-half, and plucky little
Boston sees her even and goes 1,000
better.
Do we flatter ourselves that the
money for this cotton marketed nt the
four other railroad stations of Thomas
county is brought and circulated here,
Not much! The merchants of Boston
and Cairo buy and sell as cheap as
Thomasville. Their stocks are equally
nssorted and large, they are hustlers
for trado and they “are getting there.”
As evidence, sec Boston with her 30
stores and 2 warehouses; the past sea
son her cotton buyers advertised and
paid one-fourth above market quo
tations, which actually drew cotton
from Monticello, Thomasville tint}
Quitman. See Cairo with her gO
stores: Ochleckonee with 8; Metcalfe
with 10. Here are 68 business houses
bounding Thomasvillo on tho four
points of the compass, not less than
10 nor exceeding 15 miles. They cir
cumscribe and limit the territory
which lias hitherto been tributary to
Thomasville, and that portion of her
retail trado is gone, unreclaimablv
gone.
Another pointer is the action of our
own business mon. Three Broad street
firms have found it expedient to fol
low the ebb of the tide and establish
branches elsewhere; one at Monticello,
another at Metcalfe, and still another
at Boston. Three of our young busi
ness men have recently removed to
Brunswick, another has just closed out
and on his way to Alabama. Why is
this all true? Why did Mahomet go
to the mountain ? The trade wont
come to Thomasville, so Thomasville’s
young business men must go to the
trade. Boston, Cairo and Metcalfe
are not booming on fancy prices for
real estate and a three month’s grip
on the pocket books of Northern vis
itors.
Not long ago, Mr. Editor, you gave
us two pictures of Thomasville, 1880
and 1890. The one was vacaut stores,
1 bank, 1 hotel, no opera house, no
water works, nor express delivery, nor
gas, nor electric lights. The other
was glass store fronts, 2 banks, 3 ho-
this, opera house, gas and electricity,
(you might have included the ice fac
tory and laundry,) and thereupon you
framed your picture with the garlauds
of prosperity and the robes of pro
gress. Your intent was good, but did
you build upon tho real factors of
true progress? Granting the banks
and hotels, are not the other items
rather tho outcome and pride and de
sire for luxury, for which we ]iay well!
Do they bring increased population,
S rovide employment, and create pro-
uction ? How happily the statement
could you have written: “Now, a
8100,000 cotton factory, a 850,000
shoe factory, a canning factory, a cot
ton compress, and other enterprises of
like nature employing 2,000 opera
tives.” These nave actual existence
in some of our neighboring towns,
and proves a fulcrum of power in tho
establishment and retention of trade.
