The map w e saw in Mr, Tlirupp’s office was a copy of the map made by Mr. Rogers some time ago. ... 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 period of the civil war, Buchanau’B administration would be arranged as follow?: Buchanan, "The Bachelor.” Brown’s Raid, Utah Rebellion, Confederacy Organized, Habeas Corpus refused Dred Scott, Attack on Fort Sumter, New Parties, Abraham Lincoln elected, Non coercian Policy. The South Ga. College was tender ed the Institute for the next meeting but was kindly refused as it was too far from the center of town. Prof. C. C. Lowe ou arithmetic requested that Prof. R. C. Ingalls fiU ballsnce of time, which he did, in troducing unique and original meth ods, the appreciation of which was fully shown by the close attention of the audienco and the questions pro pounded by many of our best teachers. It was ’eft with the chairman and secretary to rnnke the appointment for the Institute for May, 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, fully ask that you arrange iu some way to give us a morning train into ThomasviUe from Bambridge. The- 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 reasonable requests of your company, but in this petition we voice, not only our own wishes, but the wishes of a Urge number of persons in ihis and Decatur county who are shut off from trade with ThomasviUe under the ex% istiug schedule. If it is within the range ot possibility please give us a morning traio into ThomasviUe as early as you possibly can. The above petition was signed by all the business men of ThomasviUe. Duncanville Items. Times-Enterprise : Sammie Walden’s (cpl.) barn and cotton honso was burned Monday nighty April 17, by some unknown person. He had 250 bushels of corn and 1,200 bundles of fodder in the barn went down into ashes. Sammie is a very industrious young man. The farmers are glad of the big rain they had a few days ago. The farmers generally are better supplied with their home killed meat than they have been in several years. They are learning' to raise corn and hogs in this commnnity. Mr. S. M. Beach, a merchant and druggist, is doing a good business in Duncanville. Mr. Blunt Strickland is erecting a store in this community. Mr. Strick land is known iu Thomas as well as in Leon. A good crop of oats will be made in this section. The death of Col. A. P. Wright is often spoken of and regreted in this district. Mr. McNeel has a flourishing school near Duncanville. Mr. McNeel is highly respected as a teacher. A Subscriber. , He Got Three Months. John Mills, a hurley looking colored individual, was tried and found guilty by Judge Alexander in tbe county court yesterday afternoon on a war rant sworn out by Mr, J. A. Hurst, of malicious mischief. John broke a lock on the door of one of Mr. Hurst’s tenement houses. He wa3 sentenced to pay a fine of $30 and costs or work three months on the gang. He will likely work. Quite a large audience attended the Dime Show last night, and to judge by the frequent aud boisterous bursts of applause they were all pleased. It is the opinion of all that it is the best dime show that ever struck ThomasviUe. They will doubtless have a crowded canvas to day and to-night. Bob Mitchell. Mayor McDonough, of Savannah, is being mentioned as a candidate for governor. Now wbat’s the matter with electing our own Bob Mitchell governor next time? There is no belter qualified man in Georgia. He no politician, but a man pcsessing all those desirable elements that fit to succeed a man like Northen and • govern the state 6n the same high plane It is about time that this section of the state was palling the gubernatorial plum and Bob Mitchell, of Thomas, is our man.— Boston World. Hon. R G. Mitchell would make a model governor. The Gadsden canning factory is one ot tbe best paying establishments in the -city. Tho first year was a most successful one, turning out 75, 000 three pound eios, and from the present prospects tbe proprietors ex pect to turn out 200,000 three-pound cans next season. The company have leased a 20 acre farm across the river and will plant ten acr*s in tomatoes and the ether half iu peas and sweet corn. This is to be an experiment by the company and to show the farmers the benefit they can derive from planting for canning purposes. The Noccalula brand is making a reputation for itself wherever intro duced aud where one sale is made others arc sure to follow.—Gadsden News 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.

It has been been simply perfect. 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.” Atlanta, Ga., April 20 —A dis patch lrorn Athens says that Secretary Smith fe up to-day, and expects to rn to Washington to-morrow.

The outlook now is that there will be a chaotic condition of affairs on May 1, the day fixed for the opening. No attempt has yet been made to put the grounds iu con dition.
