Editor Ti ves-Enterpise :
Thomas county’s favoriteeon, Robt.
O. MitcheM, captured the niid’.eu
to day by one of the finest spcecliP3
del vered in Georgia in ten years,
A great many distinguished Georgi
an’s were on the stage, ami the au
dience, while not a large one, was
thoroughly rspresentative in its char
acter.. Col. Mitchell’s speech was one
of the events of the day. Senator
Brown’s speech was not delivered, but
will be given to tho press for pub!i-
cal.on. Col. Mitchell's chances for
the presidency for the senate grow
brighter every day. He has made a
splendid impression on the senators
elect and the outlook is that South
Ceorg'a will furnish the next presi
dent of the senate. Of course Col.
Mitchell’s friends w”! rejoice at his
good fortune.
Albert Winter.

The principal case tried yesterday

and Hammond represented the state
and Judge Alexander tho defcose.
The case was given to the jury late
yesterday afternesn.
Three colored couples were di
vorced.
The crimina 1 docket will be on deck
again this morn'ng.
A Riot in Coffee.
The following dispatch was received
here on Wednesday night:
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 22nd, 1890.
Shciiflfor Mayor Thomas county:
Mr. Stokes of McDonald, tele
graphs for a company of troops io
suppress a riot of armed negroes.
Ascertain facts, an i,telegraph me im
mediately. Have you any troops in
Thomasville.
J. B. Gordon, Gov.
Mayor Hopkins and Sheriff Hurst
replied „by saying that there was no
news hero ot a riot at McDonald, and
suggesting that there must bo some
m stake. They wired the governor
that the Thomasville Guards were
held in readiness to obey any o-ders.
In tho meantime Capt. Hansel', of
the Guards, and Captain Maclean, of
the Hurrars, sniffed the troublo and
were on hand consulting with the
officials, and ready, at a moment’s
nticc to call out iheic ineu.
Yes'o.day morning the governor
:ed that the trouble was in Coffee
county. Tho Executive Dept, got
McDona'd in Thomas mixed with
McDonald in Coffee.
The lol'owiog, which appeared in
yesterday’s News, gives some of the
particulars of the trouble :
Waresboro, Ga., Or . 22.—News
has reached here of a riot on the line
of Ware and Coffee counties, about
eight miles northwest of this place,
between Thomas Sears (white) and
his friends and L. B. Varnc’s turpen
tine hands, Mr. Varuc leased from
the Waycross Lumber Company some
land and put negroes to work on it. Mr.
Sears also c'aims the laud. Yester
day Sears shot and seriously wounded
one of the negroes while he was at
work and returned this afternoon
with ten armed men and opened fire
on a crowd of negroes at a shanty.
The negroes returned the fire, shoot
ing down four white men, Sears Lc : ng
one of the number. Great excitement
prevails. More serious trouble ii
expected. The governor has been
telegraphed for help.
132 Broad St.
The First Case.
Among tho cases on docket for this
morning in the police corn t, a new of-
fanca appears. Engineer Wideman
has been summoned to appear for the
offence of blowing a train whistle in
the city. The Jaw forbidding this is
a new one, and the case for this raorn-
Mr. Will Hammond made his mai
den speech in court yesterday. It
was concise, echolarly and argumenta
tive. There is n brigiit future before
the young attorney.
A Military Sensation.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 22.—One of
tho biggest of big sensations is brew
ing here in military circles and can
not much longer eseapo publVty,
though the matter now is known to
very few. The affair is of such a
nature as threatens to make the yet
unborn interstate drill histoiic in tho
annals of such contests. It will not,
however, discredit its fairness. A
crisis came near being precipitated
ing is tho first to come before the may
or. A number of witnesses have been to-day and may be looked for very
summoned.
Our Columns Hays Been Open
Wo learned yesterday, that an alli-
nneeman complained that tho order
could not get anything published here.
Tiio Tlves-Enxerprjbe has readily
and cheerfully published all notices
and communications for the order
and that, too, without, any charge
whatever. Air. B. II. Pope, Secretary
of the County Alliance, will bear us
out in the assertion, that the uso of
our columns have been tendered him
ami the order, and that we have never
failed, in a single instance, to publish
everything which the order hr-s asked
published.
The Times Enterprise believes,
and has said, times without number,
that the order has done a good work
for the farmers. With many alliance-
men wc have not endorsed J.ho sub-
treesury plau, but in everything per
taining to tho good of the order, and
the bettering of tho condition of tho
farmers, the Times-Enterpiuse has
always teen ready, and has, on all oc
casions, lent its a'd and influence to
the farming classes; for upon their
prosperity rests the prosperity of all
classes, and a man would be an idiot
to try and cripple au industiy, which
is the ground work of all prosperity.
Wc can, with a reasonable degree of
pride, refer to the course of the Times-
Enterprise. No man can point to a
ne or sentence which ever appeared
in these columns, detrimental to the
farmers of Thomas county. -. Wc have
stood with them, and by them, for
long years, aiding, ns bc3tr we might,
their fight against monopolists,
trusts and combines. No-paper in
Georgia, r id we say it modestly, has
worked harder, in and out of season,
for the good of it3 section. We have
only had one ambition: to help build
up this fair Southland of ours, and
mr':e it the most prosperous in the
South. In this work wo have tried to
help all classes, tried .o aid and en
courage all in the work of buiidiug
up this section, whether they lived in
cities, towns, villages or country.
We aro all Georgians, all demo
crats, all Southerners, have a common
-'n'.ercst; are allied by the strongest
lies which can bind jnen together,
that of the preservation of our liber
ties and race; for tho white men of tho
South must control it, or nameless
disasters must follow—a" recognize
this;—then why should wc not bury
mi-ior differences and stand together,
as we have iu*the past? We appeal
to the democracy of Thomas county
to frown down a iy and every move
which would jeopardize the only party
wh : eh promts protection to our peo
ple.
Let us, fi -st, take ci e of our own
c'auuty. Wo caunot, wo must not
a'low divisions to spring up iu our
rauks. Let us pull ourselves together.
We believe there h enough patriot
ism in the party in Thomas county to
put down any threatened division or
st' ifc. Let us stop talking about the
toivDS being against the country, and
the count vy against the towns. It is
a'l wrong. . Let us build up the coun
try and the towns. Each will cou-
t -ibute to the prosperity of the others.
We bave an abiding faith in the in
tegrity and the patriotism of the
masses. Their purposes are to do
right. Then let us be tolerant; giv
ing eveyy man credit for being honest
iu his convictions, and the differences
which eiist will melt away, and we
w"', again, be found in solid phalanx,
each roan, whether iu towns or coun
try, ready to clasp the baud of his
neighbor in friendly grasp, and aid
in building up and improving every
tquare foot of Thomas county.
This has been our motto and plat
form in the past, and we propose to
s .c ad or fall upon it, fighting for tho
common good of all, without regard
to any class or condition.
Hemphill Sticks.
A dispatch from At'antasays:
“A night or two ago, in an address
before the veterans’ assoc : ation, Bus!
ness Manager Hemphill s?id he sym
pat bites with the farmers : u every
thing they had done c-rccpt the fight
they were making on Gov. Gordon.’
The editor in clr'ef of the Constitu
tion >n a double loaded leader took
: ssue with its Business Manager, de
c'ariug that no fight was being made
cn Gord m. Jn an interview, Mr.
Hempli'll saya:
“I stuu'd by what I sa-'d, and be
lieve that a fight is bei’g ir.de on
Gov. Gordon and without a just
causo, and I reite-ale that a blow at
John B. Gordon is a blow at the sc
ored cause of which he is tc -day*the
greatest liv'ng rcprcisotai've. To
'ke at Gov. Gordon is to el-ike at
fcvc y confedc-alo soldier.’

MITCHELL HOUSE BLOCK.
The Stale Fair.
As'.cady rain, lasting all day, made
it neccessary to postpone tho formal
opening of the state fair, ou Wednes
day, until yesterday. Senator
Brown’s address was probably read,
and addresses delivered by F. G. Du*
Bignou, Robert G. Mitchell, W. Y.
Atkinson and R. L. Berner.
Senator Brown’s health has been-so
feeble during the lest few days that
he was not able to keep in person his
eogagemeot <o speak. Ho therefore
sent his manuscript address, prepared
for the occasion, to Col. W. J. North-
on, who will present it to the d'rec-
-s of the fa : r, to whom the senator
leaves tbc choice either to have it
read by proxy or give it to the state
press without reading.
