There were rumors afloat yesterday abou* a crowd coming from Valdssta to lynch the man charged with killing Mr. Wiser,baker. Better not, gen tleman. A prisoner in ther jail of Thomas county will be protected. The children, and every body else, are delighted at the selection of Bain- bridge as the placi fqF holding the anual Sunday school picnic. The Oak City v\ ill no doubt do all in its power to make the day’pleasant for all whe IT WAS NOT MURDER. That's What the Jury Said in the Case of Frank Gardner. Frank Gardner, the young negro who killed John Washington, his father-in law, last January, by shoot ing him. with a shot gun, will cot hang, as many supposed he would. He - was put on trial Thursday morning in ihejmperior court. The grand jury had indicted Turn for mocder previously. There was no trouble in securing a jury, and soon the case was under way. A number of witnesses were sworn on both sides. The evidence brought out by the state was to the effect that Gardner and Washington were not on the best of tertns. Washington went to Gard ner’s house in 'his absence and took the latter’s ax, leaving word with his wife for Gardner to come to see him. Gardner came home, was very much incensed, picked up his gun and left, sayiog he would make Washington briDg back the ax or kill him^ Soon after, the report of a gun was heard. When witness arrived at the scene Washington was lying on the ground dead, a large hole having been shot in his neck. ** ' Tbo principal wituess for the de fense testified that she was -present and saw the shooting, Washington advanced on Gardner with up lifted ax, Gardner backed until he came to a tree and the gun which he had in his hands was discharged by striking the tree. The prisoner was represented by Messrs. McIntyre, Hopkins and Titus, while Solicitor Peeples looked after the Stale’s interests Messrs. Peeples, Hopkins and Titus made speeches, aud each one made a good one. The jury was out . about 45 min utes when they returned Ihe follow ing verdict: “We, the jury, fiud the Graded Schools for Thomasville. Times Enterprise : The man who contemplates removal is influenced by a desire to better his condition. It he is a farmer and seeks a more genial clime or cheaper land .and more fertile soil, he must havfc a railroad and a parlor car to transport him to them, and when he arrives, must find already established a school and church. If he desires to remove to a city, he looks for one that has good schools, churches, water works, electric lights acid street rail roads. You may place schools first io the list of his waots, for that is the first consideration with a roan of fami ly. It matters not how ignorant he may be, he desires and demands the best educational facilities for bis' chil dren. . ■ " It is time that we appreciate the importance of improving our educa tional facilities as a means of increas ing our population with an intelligent and desirable class of citizens. -■ x ' Almost always the first question asked is “how are your schools?’* All the ^advantages and inducements offered by cur climate, our cheap and fer’lle lands, minerals, tobaccos and woods are overshadowed by this one question.' It is not pleasant to an swer truthfully that we have but a poor public rchool system supple^ mented by private schools. It must be remembered that the people whom *ve are seeking to induce to make their homes with us have a public schooLnystem which secures to every child m its own neighborhood a fair academic education. The school houses are neat, comfortable and fit ted up wilh the latest appliance?, the teachers are fairly and promptly paid, and every school i? kept open at least seven months in the year. These schools are the pride of the people and are regarded as the most impor tant factor in the community. Such a system of public schools is GETTING NEAR US. Midland City Ala., Destroyed by a Cyclone. We learn from Dr. A. B. (Lueli, who came in on the two o’clock train from Alabama yesterday, that a cy clone struck Midland City, a small town on the Alabama Midland Rail road, yesterday morniDg about noon and completely destroyed the town. . The train- passed the place only a short time after the cyclone had passed over and it had riQfcbeen ascertained how many were killed or wounded. He said it was reported that five people had beenTound dead. Every house in the place except two, one of which was the hotel, was laid flat. The hotel was badly dam aged., the wind having left it in a leaning and dangerous condition. This is getting uncomfortably near ThomasvillL Midland'City is only about seventy miles West of here. the prisoner guilty of voluntary man- what Thomasville needs and what she slaughter.” The penalty for this crime is confinement in the penitenti ary from four to twenty years. It May be a Go Yet. There has been much speculation of late as to whether Mr. Plant would boy the F. C. & P. road. Thomas ville feels considerable interest in the question. A Morning News reporter asked president Duval, of the F. C. & P., the other day in Savannah,if there any likelihood of his road being sold to Mr. Plant. Mr. Duval rep'ied as follows: “Ot course there are inducements under which sny mad w<-uld sell out, and I am free to that were we offered a fair price for our road by Mr. Plant or anybody else, he or they could get the property. But the propositions so far made by Mr. Plant ha^e not been such as to satisfy what we would expect and demand for the property and every proposition made so tar has been declined. If Mr. Plant or anybody else wants the road the propositions so far made will have to be improved considerably or the road will not be sold. All proposi tions locking to such a sale have been declined aud at present there is no proposition that we are considering. However, all railroads are merchans ditable property, and we or Mr. Plant or anybody else would sell out if an offer was made which would be considered a fair prefit on the invest ment. So far nothing has been done in this direction. What may 1)8 done I cannot tell.” MITClIELLgHOOSE BLOCK, -AGENTS.F0R— / Butterick Patterns AND 1)14. JAEGER’S We are in receipt of a box from Meigs, Ga , containing an unusually large and healthy watermelon viqe. The vine is a sample of the crop around Meigs and measures about two feet in length. Meigs will crowd raebody on the first car this season. Tha was a magnificent speech adc by Capt. Hammond in the court house yesterday morning. He seated the defendant in the case of Miller & Porter vs. B. F. Hawkins. Capt. Hammond easily takes ranks with the best lawyers and orators in Georgia. Dr, J. Marion Horrocks is the first woman to be admitted to member- Sunday’s Worship. Sunday morning a large congrega- gration greeted Dr. A. W. Clisby at the Presbyterian church, and at the evening services there was al*o a large attendance. Mr. Clisby U a favorite in Boston, and few people misg his 88rmons, because they are always intellectual treats. * His sermon Sunday evening told in plain but beautiful words the story of the love existing between Johnathan aud David, and he uEed as an illus tration to show the effect of grace upon the human family. “If such love existed to-day,” he said, would make jails, locks and civil officers unnecessary and this would be* an earthly paradise. It would rev move from our people the burden of taxation under which they are groan ing. Their love was a simple obey- ance of the ten commandments and the still exist and one to-day enjoy the blessings and that would oome from a perfect obeyance of the laws of God.”—Boston World. i iu the Georgia State Medical Society. Mifs Horrocks is entirely worthy ot the distinguished honor. She is a brave and courageous little woman who has fought her way into the front ranks of the profession. That is a strong and clear beaded committee -appointed to report c canning factory by the Pear Growers Association. Mr. B. F. Hawkins, Mr. T. E. Blackshear and Dr. Bnuehelle, will investigate the matter - fully. We hope to see the factory established at an early dale. Mrs. Tilton and daughter, Miss Pearl, left for* the North yesterday. The body of husband and father, the late Mr. Tilton, which was temporari ly buried in Laurel Hill, was disintered aud tal.cn North by wife and only daughter. It was a sad goingjb the must have before she can realiz great possibilities which lie before her. It must be a system supponed by generous appropriations from the city treasury—by a. public tax levied for that special purpose. We know that we have difficulties to overcome which, have hot con- fro ited the people of some other secrion.®. There are many who object to public schools because they say the whites iflu:t pay the cost ot educating the negroes, who pay comparatively no taxes. But it is contended that it is cheaper to educate the white children in the public schools 1 , even it we do have to pay for the negroes, than it is to educate them in private .schools under the present system. The same objections were made when public schools were established in Atlanta, Americus, Rome, Augusta and other cities, but experience has convinced the objectors that they were wroDg, and they are pow amODg* the loudest in iheir praise. The cost per scholar for a nine months term in the public schools ct Americus is less than $12. Taking into consideration the different grades <>f study laughi, the cost of a scholar in a private school wou'd be about three tiroes that amount, so we caip.afford to educate ihe negro, but we cannot afford to give our white children poor educational facilities for fear the blacks may get some of the benefits. The city can well afford to sustain good public schools, for they will not only make our people better citizens, but they will attract to us thousands of white people ot property who will help u? net only to sustain the schools, but aid us in bearing other public burdens. The taxes on the wealth thus added to our city, would alone, years, p ty all the cost of our school system. That good public schools wtll duce immigration has been proved by the experience of those cities in Geor gia which have established them. All of these dries have largely increased, not only in population, but in business prorperity. They have attracted to them an intelligent and progressive class of people, for the reason that the establishment of these schools was considered an evidence of enterprise and liberality that made them desira ble as a place of residence and buri- ness. J. C. L, A Pleasant Affair, ; Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Smith' v enter tained a number of their young friends on Tuesday night with a “Progressive Jack Straw Party.” The reporter pleads ignorance as to any definite knowledge .of what a pro- -gressive jack straw party is, but all those who were present report & most delightful evening. Mr. and Mrs. Smith are splendid entertainers and their guests speak highly of the ele gant manner in which they dispensed hospitality. During, the evening most tempting and delicious refresh ments were served. Those present were: Misses Nettie Smith, Mamie Perkins, Florine Smith, Mec Young, Mamie Blacksbear, Johnnie Sloan, Anne Scott, Ola Mallette, Mary Woodson, Sarah Woodson, Lucile Linton, Moselle Hayes, Bessie Tbarin, Ella Stuart arid Mamie Hansell, and Messrs.

The first ladies prize was won by Miss Ola Mallette and the ladies con solation by Miss Bessie Tharin. Mr. Chas. M. Smith won the first gentle man’s prize and Mr. Joe Robison the consolation. To Chicago on a Bicycle The papers have been talking for some days about Mr. W. F. Moss rid- iog a bicycle, accompanied by his lits tie four year old girl, from Atlanta to Chicago*;, Mr. Moss it well known in Thomasville, having lived here a num ber of jiears. He is an expert wheel man, and none who know him will doubt ha abftit|fl^Bx the trip if he attempts-it. From a letter received from Mr. Moss a few days ago we make the following« •T wilt leave here*ibowl May the 5th for Chicago and writ be ucconipan- panied by my little Iout yeki old girl, who will we with me on juy wheel. The emits distance, about Soo miles, will be made m abeutTourweeks.” A Handsome Present. The Guards love their Captaiu, and they never let an opportunity pass to give expression to the high esteem aud affection they bear to'their tuander. The reporter was] shown! by Sergeant McCanta yesterday an elegant, handomely _ engraved, gold lined sterling silver cup which the company had pur chased to present Co Miss Sadie Glover Hausell, who has lately ar rived at Capt. Hansell’s house. The cup is a beautiful one, and engraved on if is a monogram of the letters “S.G. H.,’’ underneath which are the words: “From Thomasville Guards.” The card that accompanied, the present bore this inscription: “To Sadie Glover Hansell, from Papa’s Best Friends.” Little Miss Hansell is too-young yet to appreciate the gift, but we know that her parents Lm i.„1 J ( j will always hold intend remember- ance this graceful act of the Guards. Mr. Maxey Ashley, official court stenographer, of Valdosta, is in at-* tendance on old home again. The sympathy of all I Ashley is one of the most expert rtu.-1 went with them. ) ographers In So< If neces ary the military will be called out to protect the man in jail ith killing Mr. Wisenbaker Let .the law take its A Severe Freshet. The rain of Wednesday -and Wednesday night was by far the heaviest that has fallen since what will be remembered as the Ruszell freshet one day last summer, when a negro boy was drowned, It came on the day that Ben Russell wa3 nom inated at Albany, and ha3 since been called by his name. On Wednesday the rain poured down in torrents all day long and when darkness came it seemed to get worse. Many small bridges were -washed away and the streets badly washed-m hundreds of places. .The-most serious damage was caused at the Fletcher street crossing of the branch and railroad. The large sewer pipe did not afford sufficient outlet ter the immense volume of water,'which^formed ptite a large pond just south of the road. The water was some- ten: feet deep in some places and covered the floor in sonjp of the houses in that neigh borhood The railroad- people saw that nnlecs something wa* done the track was in danger of being washed away, and so the switch engine was attached to the large iron sewer pipe; and after one or two jerks it was pulled out.. Tha created a larger opening and the pant up waters soon escaped and sped on its way to the Ochlockonee. Water accumulated on Bfoad street so much faster than the sewer "could carry it off that quite a large pond was formed on Lohnstein’s corner, A salesman created Borne amusement by tacking up a sign on the corner, which read: “No fishing allowed in this pond.” The streets yesterday were perfectly dry and free from mud, thanks to the absorbent nature of our soil. Hon. W. M. Hammond at Cordele. Cordele, Ga., April 19.—There are no soldiers’ grave to decorate in Cordele, but Memorial day will be appropriately celebrated. TheLadies* Memorial Association have been untir ing in their efforts to make April 26 memorable occasion, and there is every prospect that their purposes will be fully attained','. ' . - The Confederate Veterans’rAssocia- tion of Dooly county, seyeral hundred strong, will assemble in the lai^e office cf the Juwanee house at 8 o’clock a. m. The ladies will present them with red-white-and-red badges, after which they will march to the opera bouse.' Col. D. A. R. Crum, of Vienna, will introduce the speaker of the occasion, Capt. W. M, Hammond of Thomasville. Capt.- Hammond’s reputation as an orator is well known here, and he will have an eager and appreciative audience. .The ladies have prepared for decorating the opera house beautifully, and they deserve a great deal of. praise for their noble efforts to perpetuate the memo ry of the south’s fallen heroes.’* The crowd ac Cordele have a rare treat in store for them on the 26th, Capt.’. Hammond is one ot most finished orators in the south. Will-Change the Date. The fact that old man Pollnitz is under sentence to be hung in Bain- bridge on the fifth of May, the day on which the Sunday Schools bad decided to have their annual picnic at Baiubridge has caused the committee to change the date. A strong effort is being uiade to have Governor Northen respite Pollnitz "or commute the sentence, and many thought he would do so. Mr. J. E. Robison wrote Governor Nor.hen to know if the old mau would be hung on that day. The Governor’s reply does not say what he will do in the matter, but advise3 the Sunday Schools to get another place for their picnic or change the date. They will likely do the latter. Mr Robison has wired the railroad people to know it they will furnish a tsaiu on the 12ih of May, one week later, on the same terms. If the road «ill do this, the committee will • close the trade, and the picnic will be Held on that daj’. We trust the committee will have no further interruptions in their plans. Bainbridge is the choice of al! as a place for the picnic. To Old Confeds. We call the attention of the «c- conftderate soldiers of Thomas coun ty, to the calhelsewhere, for a meeting in ThomasvilF, on the 261b inst., for the purpose ot organizing a confeder ate camp. It is appropriate that the meeting shou’d be on the 26th. It is the South’s memorial day, when the fair women of our southland gather at the graves of their dead, strew them with the fresh flowers of spring, and bedew them with their tears. Let the men who were the gray, the men who faced death from 61 to 65, come to gether on the day mentioned, and or- ganize. The northern soldiers have their Grand Army of. the Republic; let ihe southern soldiers organize their confederate camps. These organiza tion are not for the purpose of keep ing alive sectional hate; they will allay Brave men and on both sides, en dorse these organizations, l'he south has only the memory of the struggle remaining. Let her keep it green, green as her native grasses, and fresh as her flowers. We hopelo see every ex confederate soldier in Thomas county here on the 26 h. Public Schools. In another column will be found a communication from Col. J. Colton Ljnes, in wh>ch he sets forth the ad vantages of a graded public school system. Colonei’s Lynes views and remarks on this subject are very val uable, inasmuch as he has had oppor tunities for observing the workings and benefits of the system enjoyed by few- He is the father of the public school system in Rome, Ga., and also in other places, and has in years past filled the position ot superintendent of some of these systems. There is no disputing the tact that it is one of the greatest needs of Thomasville, aud we trust every citizen ot the place will read the communication referred to. Second and Third Round. Tax Collector McCann gives uotict elsewhere that he will shortly com mence on his second and third round: for the purpose of receiving tax re turns. He is now at his office in the court house where he will be until after court. He will commence on his second round on May 1st, and the third on May 22nd, finishing up on June 2nd, after which time be can be found at the court house until the books close. The Medical Association. • _ The following telegrams were re ceived last night: Amebiccs, Ga., April 19. Tbie3-Est33epeise : • -■ ' Doctor Hopkins* paper on the con tagiousness of consumption read this afternoon before the Georgia Medical r Association, met with hearty applause and was by motion unanimously en« ' , 9 There will be quite a number of northern visitors here on the 26th. Memorial Day exercises will be inter esting to them. They will see, and hear, that while the south is loyal to the tender memories of her dead, she is loyal to a reunited country; and that the southern people, while strew ing flowers over the humble graves of these who wore the gray are none the less loyal to the flag of our common country. Brave men will not ask us to forget our dead; nor would we should they bid us do so. Their deeds and memories are a priceless heritage. The fair fame of a soldier is all that many of them left to their children. Everything else was swept away and lost save honor. That re mained untarnished. And untar« nislied the southern people will con tinue to cherish it. -Mr. W, T. Benson, of New York, who has been in Thomasville since early in the season, has returned home. Mr. Benson caiue to Thomasville for the benefit ot his health, and he left fully restored. When he came he was exceedingly ill aud weak, much so that many were fearful that he would not last the winter through. He commenced to improve, however, ai soon as he reached here and to day he ia a veritable walking advertise ment of the benefits to be derived from Thomasville’s climate. He left here strong and weighing as much as he ever did. Mr. Benson is a very clever gentleman and the numerous friends he made while here will gladly '*e!come his return next season. domed. T . Geo.

Whitaker gave all his stable boys a day off yesterday and furnish ed convaya’-ces for them aud their friends to take an outing at the river. The boys decided to put in the day seining, and although the day was anything but a pleasant one, they all had a big time. Two hauls were made and something over a hundred pounds of fish was taken including a trout that weighed 8 pounds and measured 28 inches loDg, This with several other nice fish was presented to Capt. Whitaker. The boys have been closely confined for the last lour months, and we regret that the weather was such as to detract from their day’s sport. Work on the power house in La Cubana has been temporarily sus pended ou account of the non-arrival shipment of lime. The first tim bers have been put in and the win- tvs and door frames,etc.,are all ready, that when the lime gets here work can be pushed forwaid without delay. The lime is expected to-day. If Dr. Pollnitz is not respited, he will be hung in Bainbridge on the 5th of May. Of course it would be obviously improper to have the Sun day School picnic there on that day. It will be remembered that the 5th of May has been fixed as the time for the picnic ami Bainbridge as ibe place. Huber Milligan.

Hawkins rermjined out all night and failed to agree on a verdict- When cal'ed into court yes terday morning the foreman stated that it was impossible to agree o verdict and a mistrial wa3 declared. This is the second jury that has failed to bring in a verdict in this case. The case has been running about seven years, aid the .end is apparently no nearer than when it was commenced. Messrs. Thrupp & Thrupp, civil engineers arid architects, showed us yesterday a beautiful map -of “Vaalny8ten Plantation,” formerly known as “Greenwood,” the property of Mr. 8. R.

The * map is a splendid piece of work and shows every road, stream, fence and house on the entire tract of land, from the old homestead to the river- This is one of the prettiest and most valuable pieces of property anywhere around Thomasville. That was a high but a well deserv ed compliment paid Mr. J. T. Chas tain by the grand jury. One of the members was excused on account of providential causes and; the entire body unanimously requested the Judge to appoint Mr. Chastain in his place.
