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

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

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.”

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. B. F. Hawkins, W. C. Snod
grass, J. E. B. Love, Chas. M, Smith,
A. W. Stuart, W. L. Ball, A. W,
Ball, E. M. Mallette, F. H. Smith,
J. E. Robison, Dixon Tharin and
Lie Wylly.
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

“S.G. H.,’’ underneath which are
the words: “From Thomasville

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.

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.

Capt. 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.

that it was impossible to agree o

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.
