Thomasville is getting to be quite
cosmopolitan city. The reporter
while surveying the passing throng
from corner Broad and Jackson
streets yesterday listened to four
language.*, German, French, Spanish
and English. If he had stepped
across to the -fruit store Sampson
would have entertaiued him with
Turkish, Russian and Greek, while at
the laundry lower down John would
have added Chinese “as it is spoke,
Tie magnificent tract of pine land
lying just west of the road leading
from Jackson, street, and between the
city and conntrj home of Mr. B. N F.
Hawkins, within a few weeks will be
alive with busy workmen.
Negotiations have been, going nn
for some time looking to the location
of an immense cigar factory in or near
Thomasville, but for good and suffi
cient reasons, the Times-Enterprise
has seen fit to &ay as little about the
matter as possible. However, now
that the scheme is » an absolute cer
tainty, we propose t» keep our read
ers thoroughly jtosted about what
goes on in and about La Cub&na.
As stated in yesterday morning’s
paper, the first detachment of opera
tives has arrived There are eb u !
sixty five in the party. These will be
followed by others as soon asaccommo
dativjjscan be prepared. Until the
factory buildings can be put up and
equipped, the city ball has been so
cured as temporary quarters, and
these men will be put to work there
at once. Benches, etc, have bttn
putin the hall, and everything is al
most ready to commence opera
tion.
Through the kindness of" Mr.
Thrupp, the civil engineer and archi
tect, who Ims laid of! the grounds and
made the plaus, the reporter had the
opportunity yesterday morning of
lookiug over the drawings. And
right here we will sav that Mr
Thrupp has made a rp’endid job of
them..
About the first work to be done,
outside of laying out the grounds,
will be putting down a street railroad
to run between the city and Li Cu
bana. The cars on this line will be
run by electricity and will be in every
respect first class. They will be what
is known as 1G foot double motor
closed cars. Each motor has a c-i**ac
ity of twenty horse power, giving each
car forty haree power. The track on
which the cars will be run will ho of
standard gunge, which will enable the
ompany to carry an ord nary freight
car, thus making it possible to deliv
er freight light at the factory instead
ot having to tin'oid at the d»*pot.
The streets on which th>s line wi I run
has not beeu fully decided upon yet,
but is thought the route will be as fid
lows: From the depot up Jackson
to Broad, up Broad to Clay and out
Clay one mile and a half to factory.
The power house, or electric plant
will be located either at the Bruce
branch on Clay street, or at another
branch a mile or so further out This
house will be ol brick, 40 by GO feet,
with a dynamo r«>om 38 by 40
five huudred light electric light plant
will a! c o be put. in for lighting facto
ry, buildings and grounds. The
contract for the truss lies for the rail
ad has been let to Mr. W. R Burch,
who now has about twen’y hgmli en
gaged in getting them out. It is
safe to say that in les< than ninety
days the clang-clang and wltiir of the
trolley C'r will he heard on our s*.reels.
The factory will he located a mile
and a half out on Clay street. It will
be of brick, three stories high, 40x150
feet, and will be a very imposing
structure. •
Surrounding the factory will he one
hundred neat three and four room
houses for the operatives
The grounds are being laid oil now
into streets and avenues, interspersed
with squares and parks. Clay street has
been opened 100 feet wide from the
city to the factory site.
The contract for sawing the lumber
has beeu awarded to Mr. Robt.
Dekle, who will move his saw mill to
the scene cf action this week. Every
piece ot timber suitable for lumber
on the whole 1,000 acres will be
sawed up. It is an immense contract
and will require a long time to carry
it out.
The company making these im
provements is known as the Thomas
ville Exchange and Banking Cooes
pany, and is officered, as follows: D.
I. McIntyre, President and General
Manager, T. C. Mitchell, Vice-
President, and D. I. McIntyre, T. C.
Mitchell, A. T. McIntyre, A. T.
McIntyre, Jr-, and W. II. Mitchell,
Directors. This company has ample
capital to carry out any scheme it
may undertake.
‘A Del Pino Company” is the
style of the manufacturing company.
It is composed of A. A. Parker, A del
Pino, W. H. Mitchell, A. T. Mc
Intyre, Jr., J. Y. del Pino, A. M.
Watson and others. They propose
to commence work as soon as possible,
and will work about 150 bands.
Thomasville cordially welcomes
these gentlemen and their enterprise.
They will have, as they should, the
moral support of. the town. The
bumbled citizen is interested in the
plauL '
Too much cannot be said in praise
of the progressive public spirited
citizens who have voluntarily put
their thousands in this enterprise,
and all sincerely hope that it may, as
it no doubt will, prove a paying in
vestment.
It is the purpose of the company,
understand, to offer high and
valuable inducements to other mans ences of the season witnessed the
ufacturing enterprise, to put plants'
in I.a Cubana City. It is not un
likely that a cotton factory mil go . up
there. It is expected that other
cigar manu 'actorietf will , follow the
A. Del Pmo Company. The gentle*
men who have started these enter
prises have ample capital and Us
ability to 'carry them out They
mean a new departure in Thomas
ville—manufacturing. For years we
have,with wbat ability possessed.urged
the importance of building up manu*
factories in Thomasville. These enter
prises create wealth and increase pop
ol&tfon. The Times E$C£RFRIsb most
cordially congratulates the people of
Thomasville upon the fact that strong
arms and clear heads have determined
to make Thomasyille a manufactur
ing center. And ' they will succeed.
Long lifo and prosperity to the
A Del Pino Company,and the Thom-
asvdie Exchange and Banking Com
pany.

Library benefit entertainment at’ the
opera house on Tuesday evening.
|The entertainment consisted of
music, vocal and iostrumenUU, -tab
leaux and recitations, and while note
bat amateur talent took part, the
work rendered by some was of a very
high.order, and would have reflected
credit on professionals. The" program
me was admirably arranged and'
everything went_off as smoothly as
though those in eharge were old hands
at the business. ' >
The programme opened with a
choice selection by the Mitchell
House orchestra, which was highly
enjoyed. J
This was followed with a vocal
duet by Miss Gertrude Nelson, of
Minnesota, and Miss Julia Evans, of
this city, which elicited hearty ap
plau?e.
Next came “The Magic Mirror,”
a tab'eau, by the following parties:
Miss Mayne Davis, coquette; Miss
Annie Bcott, equestreinne; Miss Yira
Patten, Spanish girl; Miss Mamie
Blackshear, girl of the period; Mias
Mec Youug, society girl; Miss Nettie
Smith, tennis girl;'Miss Minnie . DiN
Ion, summer girl; Miss Dana Mitchell,
brick-; Mr. B. F. Hawkins, 'magician,
and Mr. J. H. Merrill. This num
ber was extremely beautiful, and very
pleasing to the audience.
‘Flower Song,” an instrumental
piece, by Miss Pearl Tiltmi, violin,
and Mr. Fernald, piano, was 30 well
rendered as to elicit an encore, which
was gracefully responded to by Miss
Tilton with a song. Miss Tilton
plays exquisitely on the violin aud
also sings well.
The vocal solo by Miss Annie
B_*rrie, of Bruuswick, was sweetly
rendered and heartily applauded.
This was followed with another
tableau, *’Tenting on the Old Camp
Ground,” representing a camp scene
;ht, which was very realistic.
Seated in front of a tent were Joe
McCants, Riiford Ribinson, Taylor
Mitchell and Abel Palin, p’aying
cards, while by the light of a fire at
which Jim llopkius was broiling
meat, Joe Robins m was reading a
letter aud Anson Ball writing.
Lounging near by Jack McDonald
pulled away vigorously at a pipe,
while Frank Smith was doing seutinel
duty. The boys wero all in fatigue
uniform, and the picture presented
was a most natural one. The audi-
showed their appreciation by a
hearty encore.
vocal solo by Miss Gertruds
Nelson, accompanied by Miss Tilton,
piano, an l Mr. Limbsrger, vi’Jin,
was the next uumbsr and was much
enjoyed.
Tableaux—Poe’s Raven — eight
selections irotn Dorc’s illustrations,
was the prettiest thing of tits evening.
Tne following parties took part:
Misses Matsie Hopkins, Mec Young,
Annie Carroll, Deni Mitchell, Pearl
Tilton, Eva Jennings, Vira Patten,
Anna Patteu, Minnie Dillon, Birdie
Smith, Mayne Davis, Ada Kuder and
Mr. B. F. H iwki is. Each selecticn
was received with applause.
“Absolution,” the recitation
dered by MissJICetncr, of Atlanta, was
a gem. Miss Ketner is an interpreter
whose efforts ia this direction have
won. for her nothing but words of
praise wherever she has been heard.
The audience went wild over her
admirable rendition of this difficult
piece.
The violin solo by Mr. Lituberger,
of New York, next held the attention
of the audience His playing would
be a credit to any amateur.
Miss Winter, of Montgomery, was
down for a song, but owing to indis
position could not appear. Iu the
absence of this number Mr. Fernald,
of „ Boston, sang a ballad in a very
pleasing manner..
The evening’s entertainmeut closed
with a selection by the Pioey 'Woods
orchestra, which was applauded from
the opening bar to the closing. Mr
Goldc and his orchestra were'the re
cipients of many compliments at the
hands of those present
The entire affair was a success in
every sense, aud those who labored
so hard to make it such are to be
congratulated. We learn that tbe
Library netted about $300 of! of the
entertainment and bazaar.

The Lecture.
Everyone speaki in the highest
praise of the ieally interesting lecture
delivered at the Methodist church
Wednesday night by Rev. W. E.
Mum ford. " “Marriage and making of
a home” was the subject, and the lec<
turer proved that whi’e marriage is a
solemn thing, it is much more solium
not to marry at all. Rev. Mr. Mums
ford is certainly au interesting speak
er. An effort will be made to induce
him to repeat the lecture in the near
future, and a much larger audience is
assured.

Report of Judge Alexander received and

ment ot females approved by this court.
To. the Honorable County Commissioner*:
I have nothing special to report except
that I have tried and disposed* of all the
cases, heretofore sent down to this court by
Judge Hansell in the past—a few have been
acquitted—most have lecn convicted and
such penalty imposed as I thought adequate
to tbe offense of which the parties were
guilty. On the civil side of the court, two
cases have beeu tried, which were not satis
factorily determined by the court—one
tried without the intervention of a jury has
been appealed, and the other has been
certioraried to the superior court, and one
has been transferred to the appeal by the
written ixgfcemcnt of the parties.
Since my last report I have paid into the
county treasury twenty-four dollars as
county cotirt ccst.
There is one matter to which I wish to
call the special attention of the county com
missioners. It frequently “happens that
:5n and women arc indicted for an offense
of wbich both are guilty. The evidence
quires a judgment of guilty but in passing
sentence I have made a distinction between
men aud women, while I have sentenced the
man to the chain gang, I have sentenced
the woman to Eolitary confinement in the
jail. The idea of putting a woman on the
chain gang, with a set of vagabenu men, is
revolting to my idea of propriety that I
could not do so unless the oonnty commis
sioners require me to make no distinction
between men and women.
I would be glad to hear the county com
missioners express some opinion on this
matter.
Respectfully submitted,
