O. P. Haxsell, R. G. Mitchell Secretary. President, 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, quite ornamental and will add great ly to the grounds. Now, let the grounds be planted in shrubbery and laid out in walks. This done and Thomas county will have the hand somest court house and grounds the State. of Married. On Sunday morning, at the home of the bride, five miles from town, Miss Alice Benton was married to Mr. C. H. Benton,- H. B, Martin, J. P., performing the cerexriory. The Times-Ekterpbise extends -congrat ulations. With a good blackberry crop, editors can tide over until the lug basket meetings in the fait Mr. Frank H. Beebe and family, Boston, Mass., who have been occu pying their handsome cottage Crawford street all the winter, left yes terday for home. Their friends will be pleased to learn that they will * re turn ifext season. Every old addier in Thomas county should join .he Confederate Camp organized hero yesterday. -- Always have* a good word to say | for your town. It deeeryes it r- rv ^’ 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 unexpected. Thomas county hod no 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 3 o’clock thb afternoon The funeral will be in charge of the Masonic fra ternity, to which order the deceased belonged. Cotton manufacturing pays in the south. It would pay in Thomasville. Here is an instance taken from the last issue of the Augusta Chronicle: ‘‘The Chronicle notes with pleas ure the success of the Graniteville Manufacturing Company under the able management of H. H. Hickman, Esq., president and treasurer. '‘The net earnings of the company for the year ended March 1 were $107,020.21. A leu per cent divi dend, which is $60,000 on the capital stock, was ’ paid, and $42,000 were expenked for new machinery, aud $6,000 for other improvements. Mr. J. E. B.
