DIXIE’S DEAD,
Graves Strewn With Flowers—
Another Memorial Day.
True to the traditions of the past,
the South gathered around the resting
places of her dead heroes yesterday.
The freak flowers of spring, sprinkled
and bedewed with the tears of her
women, were gently placed on the
humble graves of those who fought
and died for Dixie.
The confederate monument on
Broad street was wreathed with rare
flowers wrought into graceful festoons
by the fair hands of Southern) wo
men. Later the graves of the soldiers
buriedjn the old cemetery were strewn
with flowers by the same fair hands.
None were neglected, the. grave of
the pxiyate who carried a musket
received the same attention as that of
the officer who carried a sword.
At 3:30 p. m. eveiy business house
in the town closed. The Guards were
the first to put in an appearance at
the appointed place. They were
quickly, folio wed by the Hussars and
these soon after by the Cadets of the
South Georgia* College. -Major T. N.
Hopkins, of the 4th Regiment, com
manded the battalion. It formed in
the following order: Thomasville
Guards, Capt. C. P. Hanseil; Thomas
Hussars, Capt. J. G. Hopkins com-
man ding; South Georgia Cadets,
Capt. C. O. Stubbs commanding-
Next came a few o!d confeds, men
who had faced death on many a bat
tlefield. Tneir few numbers were sad
reminders that the men who went to
the front in ’61 are fast passing over
the river. Lieut. B. F. Hawkins
acted as Adjutant and Albert Riiey
as Sergeant Major, while Capt R. P.
Doss, with Capt. Walters and Capt.
R. A. Perry as aids, acted as Chief
MarshaL
Following the military were mem
bers of the Ladies Memorial Associa
tion in carriages, the city council and
citizens in carriages.
The exercises at the cemetery were
opened with a fervent and appropri
ate prayer by the Rev. J. P. Marion.
The address of Col. J. Colton Lynes
followed. It was both chaste and
scholarly. It will be given to onr
reader to-morrow. **Our Country’s
Dead," was omitted from the pro
gramme. The “Tin Canteen,” by
Harry Edwards, was rendered in
faultless style by Miss Hope Linton.
The pathos and patriotism of this gem
was clearly brought out by the ac
compliahed young elocutionist. Then
followed a song by a quintette. It
was exceptionally well rendered by
the ladies and gentlemen who kindly
saug on the occasion.
The speaker's stand was draped
with confederate battle flags, torn and
rent by shot aud shell. Pictures of
Lee, Jackson, Johnson and other
leaders were conspicuous.
Maids aud matrons and little chil
dren joined in decorating the graves
of the dead. In the hush and still
ness ol the fading day, tenderly, lov
ingly and silently were placed gar-
lauds and flowers on the graves of
those who fell in defense of the south.
Bedewed and made sacred by the
tears of wives, mothers and sisters the
flowers were left as silent mementoes
of the love which the southern peo
ple have and feel for those who gave
ihur lives up as a sacrifice on the
altar oi this fair Southland.
I: was noticeable that many North
ern ladies and gentlemen were pres
ent. These, in a number of instances,
brought flowers and joined in the ex
ercises of the day. This kindly ac
tion was duly appreciated by our
people. After all, we are one people.
Why should not the memory of those
who wore the gray and those who
wore the blue b3 kept green? Ours is,
indeed and in truth, the “land of the
free and the home of the brave.”
A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Mr. Chas. Poland Falls a Dis
tance of Seventy-Five Feet.
Mr, Chas, Poland, the well known
painter, had a miraculous escape from
instant death yesterday morning.
Mr. Poland was engaged in painting
the interior of the cupato or dome in
the Stuart house, and was at work on
the topmost pinnacle when he fell. It
seems that he was standing on a step*
ladder, which was resting on a scaffold,
when either one oi the rounds broke
or the ladder tipped with him. There
is a clear opening from the top of the
cupalo to the first floor of the house,
aod down through this opening the
u- fortunate man feUTSoroe twenty-
five or thirty feet fiom the. top two
electric wires cross the opening. Mr.
Poland struck these in his descent,
breaking them, but checking the force
of tht fall to some extent.- About
half way between the wires and the floor
the opening had been partly closed
with boards to prevent the debris of
the workmen from falling to the floor
The falling man crushed through this
and struck the floor below in a badly
injured and unconscious condition.
He had fallen a distance of about
seventy-five feet, and those 'who had
seen the (all and rushed forward to
pick him up, expected to find
nothing but a crushed and bleed
ing corpse." Dr. T. M. McIntosh was
sent for, but before he arrived Mr.
Poland had regained consciousness
and could talk. H : s left arm was
badly broken and there were two ugly
gashes cut in his head, but the closest
examination failed to show any break
or depression of the skull. As soon
as his wounds were dressed he was
removed to his home in Fairview.
The doctor pronounces his wounds
serious, but not fatal.
Mr. Poland is to be congratulated
on his escape from instant death. It
was, indeed, a miraculous one. In
the opinion of Mr. Stuart and others
who have looked at the place, his life
was only saved by the electric light
wires, which broke the force of the
fall.
A meeting of all the different Sun
day School superintendents of the
county, aud all others interested in
Sunday School work, will be held in
the Methodist church on Friday, May
5th, at three o'clock. The meeting
will he held Tor the purpose of per*
ft cling a -permanent organization of
the County Sunday School Aasocut-
tion, which was temporarily organized
some days ago, and it ia earnestly de
sired that all who can will attend.
Sentence Passed.
The four prisoners convicted during
sersion of the superior ^onrt last
week were sentenced by Judge Han-
sell yesterday morning at nine o'clock.
There was quite a crowd present to
hear the sentt nee of the law pro
nounced.
Frank Gardner was the first prisoner
receive sentence. Frank was tried
the offense of murder, but was
convicted of voluntary manslaughter.
Hrs case is familiar to our readers,
who Will remember that he killed his
father in law some time last January.
Mr.T. N. Hopkins, oue of the law
yers who defended Frank, made
short speech in which he reviewed the
evidence and asked the Judge to be
lenient with his client. His honor,
after tellng Frank ol the enormity of
the cr;me he had committed, sentenc
ed him to the penitentiary for
years.
Dennis Wallace came next,
was indicted for arson, but on the ad
ce of his lawyers aod by the consent
the Solicitor-General, he plead
guilty to malicious mischief. lie got
twelve roomhs on the gang or
fine.
Henry Solomao was sentenced to pay
fine of $ioo or wotk twelve mon'.hs
on the gang. He was convicted of
assault and battery.
Henry Montgomery, convicted of
assault and battery, was discharged
on his own recognizance, subject to
re-arrest at any time by order of the
court. This was doue on account o!
the poor physical condition of the
prisoner.
Thomasville at the World’s
Fair.
Thomasville should be represented
at the World’s Fair m some manner
and we are glad to see that our wise
city fathers are considering the matter.
At the last meeting of council Alder*
derman Mallette introduced a resolu
tion, which was adopted, appointing
Mayor Hopkins and the Finance
Committee a committee to look into
the matter of advertising Thomasville
at the World’s Fair this summer. The
fair will afford the best kind of an op
portunity for advertising the town, its
climate and advantages, and we are
glad to see that the city government
has taken hold of the matter. If the
right plan is adopted some very cfe
fectivc work can be done in Chicago
this summer.
That new iron ierce which has just
arrived for the court house square,

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
P. Connell Takes Fifteen Grains
of Morphine with Suicidal
Intent.
P. Connell, the silver plating man,
whoso name' has appeared in these
columns very frequently during, the
paBt few days as defendant in several
cheating and swindling cases, made an
effort to kill himself yesterday which
came very near being successful.
Connell has been drinking heavily
since Saturday, when the second
warrant was served on him for cheat
ing and swindling.' The case would
have been tried Tuesday, but he was
no condition lo be put on trial.
Yesterday morning ■? about half
past eleven o’clock Connell was eeen
lying on the ground in Paradise Park,
by people passing who reported the
same to the police. Officers Coyle aud
Bland want oat and found Con
nell just as reported. He was in a
deep stupor, and on the bench by the
side of him was a pound bottle of
either. Iu his pocket was found an
ounce bottle of laudanum.
The officers roused him up and put
him in a wagon. Ho protested against
being moved, 6aying that he desired
lay there and rest, that he would
soon be all right. The officers, how
ever, brought him to town and carried
him to the Williams hoarding house,
when Dr. J. G. Ilopkins was sent for.
He did not appear to he in any im
mediate danger and the doctor had
him carried to the Charity Hospital.
It seems that the medicine had
just begun to get in its work, and
when the doctor arrived at the hos
pital, Connell was dangerously near
the other shore. His pulse had ceased
beat and his respiration bad al
most entirely ceased. While working
on. him the doctor discovered traces
of morphine on his clothing and au
empty morphine envelop in his pocket.
stomach pump was pnt to work
and antidotes administered, and after
hard work for souse hours Dr. Hop
kins pronounced the man out of
danger.
Later in the day it was found out
that Connell purchased fifteen grains
of morphine from R. L. Hicks & Co.
and it is supposed that he took the
whole of it.
Connell has not yet talked abont
the matter and no definite cause is
assigned for his rash act. The fact of
his having, besides the morphine 1 an
ounce of laudanum and a pound of
ether on his person looks very much
like he intended to make a good job
Another Accident.
Mr. P. S. Heeth, the well known
book-keeper at the Citizen’s Banking
and Trust Company, happened to
very painful accident yesterday morn
ing. He was driving bis beautiful
young colt to a road cart and while
coming down the hill at Mitchell's
mill pond, a dog ran out into the
road, which frightened the colt and
caused him to jamp to one side.
This sudden action threw Mr. Heeth
and his little boy, who was with him
iu the cart, out. * The colt then dash
ed off. Mr. T, E. Blackshear and
Mr. J. T. Chastain saw the accident
and'went to Mr. Heeth’s assistance,
A carraige was procured and he was
taken to his home on Love street
Dr. J. G. Hopkins was called in and
made an examination. No bones
were broken and no bruises were
apparent, hut although under the in
fluence of opiates Mr. Heeth showed
signs of suffering great pain with his
back, and his friends are afraid that
he is more seriously injured than
supposed. When first picked up his
lower limbs were completely parall-
yized. This howeyer soon disappeared,
Pliney’s friends hope to see him out
again soon. The boy was uninjured,
•The circus crowd are fighting among
themselves. Several of the employes
attached the show property Tuesday
aod yesterday the proprietors had one
of the employes arrested for larceny
after trust. In the meantime Sheriff
Doss is runntng the show.
Our people h^ve already begun
think about where they will go to spend
the summer. The majority of them,
will summer, together with the news
paper raeq, io Tbomiaville, which
after nil, as good a resort as any.
Connell came here several months
ago and did a good business plating
silverware. After he had left here
wa3 found that his work was not
what it was represented to be and a
warrant was sworn out for his arrest
and he was ) brought* back. Up-
being indicted by the grand jury
plead guilty and paid Bis fine. No
sooner had he done this than he was
arrested on a similar warrant. He
gave bond for his appearance, and
the case was to have been tried last
Tuesday had he been sober enough.
It i» said that there axe other par
ties who will pounce down upon him
soon as he ge ? s out ol this scrape.
He had an idea that he was being
rsecutcd, acd it may be lhat this
prayed upon his mind to such an ex
tent as to cause him to attempt to
drown his troubles in death. Connell
a man ot more than ordinary intel
ligcnce, and some have .advanced the
:heory that he did not intend to kill
itnself; that what he did was done as
blind to excite public sympathy. If
the latter be true, he should have
been more careful as to the amount of
poison he took, as but for the timely
arrival of Dr. Hopkins he would now
be numbered with the silent majority.
MR. M. T. HANCOCK.
Successful Business Career.
A few years ago a young man from
Thomas county started out in the
world to batt’e with fate and fortune.
With only a moderate education, he
possessed at the same time, a wonder
ful amount of energy. He was an in-
ventive genius. And his name to-day
household word iu more than half
the states of the union. His name is
M. T. Hancock, better known here
abouts as* “Taylor” Hancock. After
* absence of several years, he
turned up at the Stuart on Sunday,
whereiuVwell known autograph was
seen on the the register. He is the
same Taylor Hancock as of old.
Fortune has smiled on him, but it
has not spoiled him. He is the
same bright, cheerful, liberal man as
of old. He is vice-president of the
Hancock Rotary Plow Co., of Indian
apolis, Iod4 and a large stockholder
the company. The company has
cash capital of $300,000, and is
turning out the famous rotary plow in
vented by Mr. Hancock by the thous
ands. ”*
Mr. Hancock is largely, interested
another big plant built expressly to
manufacture his plow at Shreveport/
There be has built himself a
modern winter, home combining all
the modern conveniences aud luxuries
of life. He spends his summers in
the west He is now organizing an
other company with unlimited capital
manufacture his plow on the Pacific
slope. Taylor's friends in Georgia
be glad to learn that he is on the
crest of the wave of fortune.
Mr. Hancock is visiting relatives
here, but will be found ready 10 talk
business on all occasions. He is a
hastier from away back.
He Didn’t Intend to Kill Him
self.
P. Connell, the man whose attempt-
suicide was noticed in these col
umns yesterday, is improving and
will soon be all right again, though he
was quite sick yesterday from the
effects of the over dose of morphine
and the antidotes that were adminis
tered.
In a conversation with Dr.JHopkins
yesterday he disclaimed any intention
of killing himself, and explained his
conduct by Baying that he was drunk
and did not know what he was dohg.
He says he has no recolection of
buying the morphine,ether, etc., that
was found on his person when he was
picked np in the park. He also
stated that he is out about thirty-five
dollars, which was in his pocket before
he took the poison, but which cannot
be found now. His statements are
discredited by some who are at a loss
understand how he can remomber
distinctly about the money aud
yet has no knowledge of buying or
taking the morphine.
Mr. J. P. Arnold, one of the oldest
citizens of the county, and a man
highly esteemed by every one, died at
his home yesterday near town. Mr,
Arnold has been iu ill health for
some time, and his death was not

better citizen than John P. Arnold,
He had attained the age of three score
and ten. The community loses
valuable citizen, his neighbors a kind
friend, and his family a loving father
and devoted husband. The funeral
will take place from the residence

Dear Sms—I would like to add my testi
mony to the almost miraculous effect of P
P P in the case ot Mary Ingraham, a woman
living on my place; she had a constant
cough, core throat, debility, etc., and was
emaciated to a degree that she was unable
to get out of bed unaided, being given up by
physicians; she had taken the ruinous so-
called Blood Medicines without the least
effect, until being put under the P P P, she
immediately began to improve and is now
in as good health as ever in her life. You
can refer to me at any time aa to tho effect
of P P P iu the foregoing case.
Yours truly,
