Willie *Miles, a colored boy about
fourteen years old,* son of Caleb Miles,
was shot and instantly killed by Tom
Herring, a negro man, yesterday
morning at the ice factory, where
they were both employed.
Herring U night engineer at the
factory.* The factory is located in a
tough part of the town and Herring
always keeps a pistol on his person
while on duty. For some weeks past
he bos indulged in the foolish and
dangerous practice of playfully point
ing the pistol at the negro boys work
ing in the factory, in a "bull dozing”
manner. He had been warned that
his pistol was likely to go off and hurt
somebody, aud that he had better
stop. Had he heeded this warning,
Willie Miles would be enjoying the
pleasures of life now, and he would
uot have his life blood ou his hands.
It seems that Herring told Willie
to curse another employee of the
factory, because he was not doing his
work right. Willie replied that he
(HcrringXmust be a fool, he would
do' nothing of the kind. Herring told
him again to curse the man, saying
he would shoot him if he didn’t, at the
same time pointing the pistol at the
boy, which wont off. The ball entered
the right ear of the boy and passed
entirely through the head, killing
him instantly.
Policeman Bland arrested Herring
and locked him up.
Coroner Johnson was in town and
immediately summoned a jury to hold
an inquest. The evidence brought
out at the inquest wa3 in substance
the same as the above. The jury,
after hearing the evidence, found a
verdict ol involuntary manslaughter.
Mr. Keefer, Herring’s employer,
says that he is a most excellent hand,
and he regrets very much to lose him.
It is said that there was no un
friendliness existing between the two
negroes, and tho conversation at the
time and previous to the shooting was
carried on it a joking manner.
The grand jury being in session tho
case was carried before them at once.
They found a true bill against Her
ring fur murder.
Cothran in no Danger.
The Valdosta Time* says that
Cothran has never been in danger of
being lynched iu Valdosta. Refer*
ring to the fact that Cothran is in jail
here, the Times says:
Sheriff Doss, in ThomasviUe, may
!eep peacefully at night, aud he netd
not mus ? er the militia, nor station
guards to protect the life of his pris
oner from the assaults of a Lowndes
unty mob. Mr. Wisenbaker’s
relatiyes iu Lowndes county are
among our very best people, and they
are not a blood-thirsty set, seeking
the life of anyone. If Cothran is
innocent they would bo glad to see
the evidence of it and have him set
at liberty. If he is guilty of this foul
murder, they want to see him hung
for it by the duly constituted legal
process.”
In Trouble Again.
I’. Council, who plead guilty in the
county court on Saturday to cheating
aud swindling, had no foouer paid his
fine thmi he was arrested on another
warrant charging him with the same
offense. Mr. Lambert is the prose
cutor in this case also. He is charged
with practicing a fraud upon so
r citizens who employed him
uinkle plate their tab’e ware. It
d that as soon as this case is <
posed of other charges will be pre
ferred against him. He has certainly
fallen into hard luck in ThomasviUe.
He .will be tried this morning.
Plead Guilty.
P. Connell, the man who carried on
a silver-plating business here some
weeks ago, and who was arrested on a
charge of cheating and swindling
plead guilty to the indictmeat found
by the last grand jury yesterday
morning before Judge Alexander,
the county court, and was fined fifty
dollars and costs. The charges were
preferred against him by Mr. R C.
Lambert, to whom he sold some of
the material and gave lessons iu the
business. After Connell left here
Lambert had Col Lynes analyzed the
stuff used for nickle plating. It was
found to contain nothing much
besides tin. Upon receipt of this in
formation Lambert had Connell ar
rested and brought back here.
Dwelling Burned.
About four o’clock yesterday morn
ing the house on the corner of Wash
ington and Crawford streets was dis
covered on fire. The house was oc
cupied by Mr. Mark Rush, and was
owned by Mrs. J. W. Beardsley.
The fire department responded to the
alarm, but the flames had gained too
great .headway to be checked and des
pite their efforts the house was
reduced to a smoldering heap of ashes.
Mr. Rush succeeded in saving a por
ting of his furniture. He was insured
in the National Fire Insurance Com
pany of Hartford, J. E. B. Love,
agent, for $500. The house was unin
sured. The origin of the fire is un
known, but many think it was the
work of an incendiary.
Teacher’s Institute.
The regular April, meeting of the
county Teacher’s Institute was held
in the court house yesterday morn
ing. The Institute was presided over
fcy Prof. Moody, in the absence of
commissioner Mac’ean. There was a
goo i attendance and the programme
was an interesting one. The pro
scribed syllabus of the Sate School
Commissioner was followed.
There was quite a little discussion
on the question, of Appleton’s Series
ot copy books, 7 hut the matter was
left in about as much doubt as before.
There were several - interesting
papers oa how to teach the different
branches, and Pres. Baker read a fine
paper on the personal and class work
of a teacher. He gave the young
teachers some splendid advice as to
their personal appearance and demean
or, the thorough preparation of the
subject to be handled, and necessity
of close attention on the part of the
pupiLwith methods as how to accom
plish the same. .
Col. Lynes read an interesting
paper on history and offered to the
teachers quite a new method of teach-
»g history, which is called the
Nomonic.” His method divides the
subject into periods, and then by
means of charts or blackboard,
gives an acrostic illustration of the
princpal events in groups, for instance

The new schedule recently put into
effect on the Alabama Midland nul
road, has deprived ThomasviUe of
much valuable trade. Formerly thgre
was an early morning train into
ThomasviUe, which was used exten
sively by people living on the line of
road between this place and Bain-
bridge to come to ThomasviUe to do
their trading. This they could do and
retaro home in the afternoon or even
ing. U Oder the existing schedule this
is impossible, and. our business men
have sent the. following petition to
Superintendent Dunham', asking him
to give us a train in the early morning.
The Alabama Midland people are
friendly to ThomasviUe and we feel
satisfied that Maj. Dunham will do all
he can to bring about any result that
will benefit the town. The following
is a copy of the petition sent:
Maj. Bradford Dunham, Supt. A. M.
Ry„ Montgomery,-Ala:
We the undersigned, merchants and
business men of TbomasviUe, respect,

business men of this community are
warm friends and universally the pats
rons of the Alabama Midland, and
you will find on nearly every desk in
ThomasviUe a package of shipping
cards which we send out with our
orders whenever we ship goods frera
the west. We want to help you and
we want you to help us. ^As business
men we do not wish to make any un

our own wishes, but the wishes of a

most successful one, turning out 75,

ThomasviUe ought to can much of
the fruit and vegetables which are
now praciically wasted. There is
money in the business. This is tbe
verdict wherever the industry has
been established.
Amencus is one of the live and
growing towns in Georgia. The
Times-Recorder is urging the estab
lishment of a canning factory in that
progressive place. Referring to an
establishment of the kind in Alabama
that paper says:
'As a proof of the fact that there
money is the business it may be
stated that the canning factory iu the
little city of Gadsden, Ala., made a
shipment of 800 cases of fruit to a
wholesale house in Chicago^ several
weeks ago, and the manager has re
ceived a letter saying that 500 cases,
of two dozsn three pound cans each,
were sold to retail houses on the first
day that the goods arrived.”
Now what has been done in Ala
bama can be done in ThomasviUe.
Tomatoes, fruits and many vegetables
—now going to waste—could be
utilized.

Speaking of manufacturing cotton
the south the News says:
The opinion is being quite freely
expressed by those who are studying
the question of the most available
place for the manufacturing of cotton
goods that cotton mills should be
built where the cotton is grown. In
the last number ot Bradstreet’s there
is an interesting and valuable article
on this subject. It is pointed out
that New England manufacturers of
cotton goods now admit that the usual
objections to the manfacturing of
cotton goods iu the south, viz., in
sufficiency of capital, unskilled labor,
imperfect construction and inadequate
machinery can be easily overcome,
aud the only objection they n >w raise 1
is that the climate of the south has
an inervating effect upon labor, and
that, therefore, better results can be
obtained'trom labor in the north than
in the south.”
