“The improvements at the gas
works are now completed, and we able
to furnish cur customers with much
better light,” said Mr. Smith iu re
sponse to an enquiry.
“Yea,but haven’t the prices been in
creased f* the reporter asked.
“Ho, air; we are furnishing it at the
very low price of $2.60 and $2.00 per
thousand for lighting, and where
enough is burned to justify it the
prioa will be lower.. The gas we are
now making is very muoh superior to
tite old, giving a brilliant white lame
constantly, but owing to. the change
of system we urge upon our custom-
era the necessity of removing the old
tips and patting iu new. ones, which

pany.”
‘What about its use for fuel f
"Iu addition to the advantages
our gas presents as an economical
means of illumination it ia alio ap
plicable as a convenient sabetitute for
ordinary fuel. With properly arrang
ed apparatus it competes favorably
with coat and wood for the purpose
of cooking, and where fire is required
for a short time it has undoubted ad
vantage over wood as to cost, and con
venience for beatiog. By the use of
atmospheric burners the gas is mixed
with atmospheric air at the point of
ignition, producing a blue flame of
intense heat, which does not blacken
like the gas horned through the or
dinary burner. There is no fuel
wasted; its heating power is developed
just when and where it is wanted and
in just the right quantity. A lew oi
the advantages we claim are—no
smoke, no ashes, more healthful, less
troublesome, less wasteful and certain
ly much cleaner.”
Burn's Birthday.
In many cities to day the anniver
sary of the birth of Robert Barns
will be celebrated. Barns was born
on the 25th of January, 1759, in a
cottage about two miles from Ayr.
His liie was one of hardship, and is
another instance where fame came
after death. The poet composed meet
ot his songs while driving his cart or
walking to labor, song by song and
verse by verse, carefully noting the
true, tender, sublime or fustian
While whistling at the plow he in
vented new forms, and was inspired
by fresh ideas from gathering round
him the memories and traditions of
his country. But out at his thirst for
stimulants and revolt against restraint
of any kind grew temptations on
which Burns was largely wrecked
He died on the 21st of July, 1796,
and the characteristic line of the
epitaph which Burns wrote for the
tomb of his father may be appropri
ately applied to himself. “For even
his tailings leaned to virtue’s aide.”
Postponed.
The trial of Wa'ter Williams, the
Decatur county prisoner, has been
postponed for the term as Capt. G. G.
Gurley, one of the attorneys for de

The prisoner and the two convicts,
John Williams and Bob Dutham, are

pected to-day, and will escort them
back to the coal mines. Walter will
probably be left here tor safe keepiog

George Washington, a negro, was
shot and almost instantly killed by
his son-in-law, Manoe Gardner, on
the Winn place, six miles from town
Wednesday. The killing waa the re
salt of long standing between the
two meu. What brought matters to
climax was that Washington ac
cused Gardner of stealing his axe.
Yesterday he went to his son-in-law’s
house aud took the axe away. This
made Gardner furious, and he told
quite a number of his intention to
shoot his father-in-law. —Procuring a
gun he pat In a double load and then
went down to where Washington was

load almost severed the murdered
man’s bead from his body- He only

With smiling faces and tidy white

That’s the Verdict Brought in
by the Coroner'a Jury.
Totten Defended.
Mr. Editor.—There appeared in
your columns January 94th fast. the
following: “Aud now, that craok.
Prof, Totten, predicts that the world
will come to ao end in March, 1893.”
I do not know whence this clipping
comes but let Prof Totten be heard
m hu own words. A newspaper cor-
respondent uked bio this question.
When do yon expect the end ot the
world, Lieut!"
My aoswtV to that is, the world en-
dureth forever. I have never put mf
mind to work to solve so outrageous a
problem. The cud of the age it
very different thing. My belief
that it, (sge), ends with the genera
tion now living. The Savior’s advent
imminent at any minute.”
This I find in Pro). Totten’s latest
publication, December, 1893, titled,
■The Riddle of History,” senes a, voL
!, page 919. I have the whole of the
two senes ot Prof. Totten’s writings
which are a chronologies! vindication
of the Scriptures. He is do theologian,
prophet or preacher, but an astrono
mer, acbronologist, a scientist, a sol
dier of the U. S. army, a scholar, the
professor of military science in Yale
college, and most commendable of all
that can be said of him, he is a Christ-
0.
The burden of all he hat written it
chronology - and its application to
Scripture dates and transactions, past,
present and future and bis belief of
their significance. 1 don’t know any,
thing about his church conoections |
nor indeed whether he have any at all,
but of all the writers upon hts favor,
its theme, chronology, (ud I have
read a number), he is certainly the
most definite.
If the alleged crankism of the near
approach ot Christ to the world, con-,
stttute his offences, then there are
thousands afflicted with the same the'
oijr. This much I hope you will let
your readers generally learn. Yours,
D. H, Parker.

Down in Dixie.
The South Dakota editors who were
in Thomisville sometime ago, have
pleasant words to say about Thomas
ville. The Hew Era, published at
Parker, says:
'Thomasville is a lovely city, and
is one of the most healthful and popu
lar winter resorts in the south. In
fact, the climate is almost perfect. It
is highly recommended for consump
tives, the mild climate and resinous
ordora from the pioey woods in which
the city is located, and the high lo
cation, being very curative for weak
lungs.
It was our good fortune' daring the
day to be the guests of the Bandsll
House, whose proprietress is ths
charming' Mrs. M. H. Bandsll, a
model hostess. The Randall fronts on
a beautiful pari;, and its appointments
are all the most modern and approv
ed style, with perfect cuisine.
Sunday observance in many of the
southern cities ud towns is almost
puritanical. South Carolina has-juft
enacted prohibition a state law. In
Georgia, Alabama and Florida, local
option gives many of the towns pro
hibition also. When the southerner
makes a law,he respects it or repeals it.
Southern hospitality ia not a mis
nomer. The people generally are
frank and hospitable, and the higher
classes are educated. Churches- are
well supported, and the percentage of
communicants greater than in the
northwest. The political strain lead
ing op to and indodiug the war and
reconstruction days, hu left an im
press that time alone can efface. Don’t
try to overcome their customs and
you are all right down Sooth socially.
Commissions Received.
The commiauons for the justices of

Tbs following article on Thcmtta*
ville -we clip from the Menominee
(Mich.,) Herald, edited by Mr. H. 0.
Fifieid:
The citizens of Thomasville had
invited the editorial party to give
them.one day in that thriving city
located in the pioey woods region of
the state and justly celebrated for its
heaithialneas aud beauty. President
and the members generally, were
in favor of such a trip, although it
was slightly out of the route planned.
Everyone felt well repaid for the
journey in a day filled brim full of
pleasure. • We.wtre the people. No
body, was allowed to pay for anything.
The Stuart and Randall hotels were
thrown open to the gdests for the day,
and in the evening asuperb banquet
was given at the Masury, one of the
fine winter hotels. ,Wm. McCartney,
of Ft. Howard, has a pleasant winter
home here and was among the com
mittee to greet the editors. He cap
tured some .old acquaintances and
carried them off bodily to'his resi
dence for the'day. Thomasville seems
more like a northern city , than any
visited,.. Its streets are beautiful and
the drives In the vicinity magnificent
Flowers and fruits grow in perfection
and onr ladies were loaded down with
japonicas, violets and opr presi
dent’s wife went round with a bunch
of ripe strawberries, although it was
tee early for the fruit. The Chero
kee rosea grow in profusion, and there
is more “darky heaven" to the square
inch in Thomasville than any where
else in the universe, it bring the
center of a vast watermelon belt.
The LeConte pear ia also raised here
in perfection. Oranges seemed to be
more of a luxury than a necessity
here. The magnolia, oak, beech and
hickory grow here aa well aa the
pine. Everyone was treated to a drive
of some three or four hours through
most picturesqo ways and over lovely
roads. We were taken to a most
beautiful park, owned by some north
ern magnate, where deer abounded
and nature and art had made a most
rare combination ot beauty. It was
a - lovely day iu June, no not June,
but December, bnt it seemed June as
we drove out from the busy bustling
city into the quiet green country. A
lingering trace of Autumn pervaded
the air, and the holly suggested
Chritroas, but where was the crisp De
cember atmosphere? Where the snow
pervading the northiand ? The Thom
asville citizen eats fruits of his own
raising, vegetables from his own gar
den, and gathers his own Christmas
holly. The city is in expectation of a
Cuban cigar manufactory, which will
help it amazingly in a business point
of view. The wicked McKinley bill
has done it. One day wound np with
the banquet at the Masury, and the
excursionists left ThomasviUe with
only pleasant memories of her people.
White and black vied with each other
in miking our stay pleasant. Even
the barber at at the Stuart hetri, W.
Owens, seemed to think it his
duty to entertain the visitors, and
after the mauner of barbers he un
folded much valuablo reformation
while plying the brush and razor.
Posters announcing “Uncles Darling”
at the opera house, also looked natural
and visions of the soubrette, Hettie
Bernard Chase in her catchy song
Carve dat melon” rose before our
mental virion. In turning our faces
homeward, we could not help but
think that it would he a good thing
for northerner and southerner to meet
often. __
Without doubt many of the serious
evils of sectionalism which have curs
ed our nation in its politics, have
arisen out of the lack of association
and acquaintance between the people
of the various states. In the old time,
when nulway communication scarcely
existed aud travel by the people to
different parts of the country was
limited almost exclusively to the de
mands of business, there was but little
opportunity for the cultivation of any
general acquaintance by the people of
one state with -those of- another. Ia
this way sectional feeling grew up,
and instead of regarding each other
aa fellow citizens, it was much more
common to think of the people of dis\
taut states with indifference, if not
with-hostility -
"Well, then, shoot me I” were the
last words spoken by old John Wish-
ington, the wood-hauler killed Wed
nesday. A coroner’s jury was eta-
ptutnelled in the city and reached the
scene about 9 o’clock. The news had
sptpad rapidly and morbid curiosity
hod attracted a great gathering of
negroes. They had built up a large
fire and went sitting around keeping
watch over the dead. The body had
not been disturbed, and still lay where
had fallen beside a freshly Split
pine, log. The head was almost
severed. Blood showed everywhere.
Near by wliere it had fallen lay the
disputed axe, the cause of the murder.
The Btrangely quiet assembly, the
darkness out qeyond the circle. and
the fanciful shadows cast by the
flames made the scene seem almost
wierd. The most important witnesses
before the jury were Mattie Dennis,
Gritcie .Mitchell and Lula Grau.
They had Been the tragedy, but were
same distance off.’ Their attention
had been attracted by-hearing the
remark of-Washington. They looked
and saw him throw hack his head.
Gardner raised his gun, took deliber
ate aim and fired. His. victim • stag*
gored a few feet and fell.
The murderer "walked off about
half a mile and then came back- His
father met him. and took the gun
away. He left aghin and has not
been Seen Since.. The old man waa
dying when neighbors reached .him.
The jury considered that sufficient
evidence had been sirorn, and the
testimony of others whom Gardner
had told ot his designs was not taken.
is said that Gardner had borrowed
the gun from his brother, pot in a
double load and then went on his
deadly mission making no secret of
his murderous intent. The work of
holding the inquest was completed
Shout midnight and a verdict of
murder was found against Mince
Gardner. The jury consisted of J. J.
Cone, Ed Royal, J. M. Stansril, W.
W. Williams, A. H. Palin, Mac
Clewis. Mr. Williams was foreman.

Hey Wood’s Celebrities,
A very select audience greeted the
concert given by this company at the
opera house on Wednesday evening.
Thomasville is a great music loving
town, and as Heywood’s Celebrities
were reputed to be artiste oi a high-
order, our citizene tnrned out in goodly
numbers. While the people were led
to expect *in array oi music talent
above the average, we cannot say
that any were disappointed. Per
haps the coraetistwas not-quite as
good as was looked for, however, his
manipulation of this instrument
showed that he was an artist of no
mean ability. The singing was very
good indeed, especially that of Miss
Daily and Mr. Jordan. The most
pleasing feature oi the entertainment
was the dramatic and humorous im
personations by Miss Gleason. Her
equal has never been seen in Thom
asville, and she was repeatedly en
cored- The violin playing of Mr.
Niedzielski showed him to be a per»
feet master of his instrument, and
elicited hearty applause from the
audience. Taken as a whole Hey-
wood’s Celebrities give an entertain
ment the auperior of which is rarely
aeen in the South. They deserve a
full house everywhere.
Messrs, C. D. McDonald, A. A-
Lemon, J. B. Newman, J.-T. Bonley,
C. O. Tye and T. A Shaw, from Mc
Donough, near Atlanta, passed
through the city yesterday on their
way home from a hunt in the wilds of
Taylor county, Fla. They were very
successful and carried back a quantity
of venison and some fine antlers and
skies to exhibit to the folks at home.
The party have been on the trip alto
gether eight days, but put in only four
hunting. Eight deer and small game
without number were brought down.
The same party passed through last
year on a simitar outing.
