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.’ A ad the people of Geo r gia w”' eu- doisc what Mr. HempbiU says. THE SCHOOL OF EXPERIENCE TEACHES USEFUL LES SONS. DON’T LET IT COST YOU TOO MUCH. 1. sm Sellable Merchants. Three Mammoth Establish• merits. 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. Mr. H. B. Plant’s Enterprise. The determination of Air. H. B. Flout, president of tho Plait system of railroads and stcaimships, io bring the islands of the West India gr.oup nearer to Florida, is illustiated by tht' establishment of n lino of steamships botween Po.t Tampa and F'ng.jton Jamaica.
