THOMASVILLE GA., ■ Saturday, May 13, 1893. The recent rains have about*made the oat crop. . . Are you in favor of public schools in Thomasville ? T£e colleges are getting ready for commencement. - ~ v There are faint whispering* of a wi tiding «t no distant day." As will be seen elsewhere, the land prob'em is still puzz'ing the ' arithme-, tickers. ' Thomasville is turning her atten tion to manufacturing. In this she is acting wisely. Northern visitors who still linger here are enjoying the cream of our southern climate. S..me of these fines days the rail road will be killing somebody at the Jacdson street crossing. Xhe series of meetings at the Bsptiat and Methodist churches con tinue to be well attended. There are fewer applicants for federal positions in Thomasville, than any town of its size in the state. Between two lighting companies, the gas and., electric, Thomasville ought to have good light and cheap light. There should be concrete walks from the gates in. the new iron fence around the court house tquare, to the court house. • • Work will soon begin on the new Baptist church. Plans have been drawn and are being discussed by the building committee. The graded school question con fronts the town. What have you to say about it"? Shall we have free schools or not ? That’s the question. Mr. John Poland, who fe.'l from the Stuart houee some time ago, while doing some painting, was out on the streets yesterday much improved from his injuries. Between Judge Alexander, of the county court, and Mayor HopkinB, violators of the law are finding that the way of the transgressor is, indeed, hard ore. Miss Annie, the accomplished daughter of Governor Northen, will be in Thomasville tq-inorrow after noon. She wi l be the guest of Miss Anne Scott for several days. The electric street car line will run down to Factory No. 1. Mr. Burch has the ties already in place. He has contracted with the company to fur nish one thousand additional tics. There is not a more delightful place to visit around Thomasville at this season, thau Dixie Nursery. There is a wealth o? beautiful and flagrant flowers to be seen there. Mr. J. P. Smith, the attorney for the B. <fc A. road, is making a move to have the mails, hetween here and Moulfrie, carrried over that road by rail instead of the present line through the country. See notice of Col. Lynes. He will examine applicants for admission to the State University at Thomasville on the first Friday and Saturday in June. This will save a trip to Athecs. Be on hand if you would go to the University. J udge Hopkins sold a very desir able building lot fronting 200 feet on Paradise Park, yesterday, to Mr. Keefer. The purchaser will erect a handsome private residence on the lot. Property fronting the park gilt edge. There are not many lots left, and they will soon be taken. Wc noticed yesterday tbe fact that Williams, the convict killed at Dade Coal Mines the other day, had a brother in jail here waiting trial for the same offence. The brother who was killed was an important witness for the prisoner here* He expected to prove an alibi by him. Wc call the attention of our town readers to the resolution offered by Mayor Hopkins, and adopted at tbe last meeting of council. The question of graded schools is a most important one, A great many towns in Geor gia have inaugurated public schools. Thomasville should consider the mat- They have worked well else where, and there is no reason why they should not work equally well here. Tax payers should give tbe matter their attention. He Comes Again, Thomasyiixe, Ga., May 9, 1893 Capr. Triplett: v In Sunday’s issue appears a letter from-T. H. Parker informing the pub ic Lb- ProffC.O. Stubbs and myself have solved a problem that is unsolv able, and has been so pronounced by others. I shall proceed to prove-that the said land problem is a true and correct suin, and that, answers cannot vary, the correct ones being x 12^ acres for B. and 87J acres for A. ' Bro Par ker divides $200, the amount expend ed by &ach, by $a 25, also by $1 75*. and says he is dividing by the “price 1 per acre paid by each.** In this he, and some others violate the conditions' of the problem, s A. and B. paid for it when they bought it, and- at tbe rate of $2, per acre; and surlily in dividing it they did not pay-far it again. •, They agreed to divide at these prices, which cannot be mathematically or reasona bly interpreted as meaning anythiog else but the ratio of division. No' matter what they paid for the land; that in no way affects the solution. In this problem the $200 each is a superfluous, and misleading quantity in the statement; expuneg that, and not nave the terms so much a like and we would have no difficulty. % To illustrate by a parallel example: Suppose the land bad been Thoms s- vilie dijt worth $8oo per aero; A and B buy 2co acres each paymg $83,000 agreeing to div:d? as in the first prob lem; the discrepancy would be so great the eiror in ihus dividing $80,000 by $2.25 and $1.75 would at or.ee be" apparent, neither would we try by multiplication, to “get back” the $80, 000 for each, but the mathematical verdict would be, that the -proportion al parts, .'re ihe worth of each man's money if the investment was good. In the prpblcm we are 'considering, the the answers would also be the same using as a basis for the division'any terms having the same ratio as 2 1-4 3-4 as, A at 81 per acre, B at 87 9 per acre; A at §10 per acre B at 87 7 9 per acre, and so on without limit. I submit the following proof oimy solution: $2.23 : $1.75 :: 112.5acres: 8 T .5 acres. 87.5 times $2.25 $190, 874 product of the extremes. . * 112.5 times $1.75 $190. 87J product ot R. C. Ingalls. About Opening The World’s Fair On Sunday. “Remember that this is the Sab bath day. Keep it holy.” “The National Commission reports against opening the big fair on Sunday. In this connection it is significant that the lady managers ot the wpman’s department' voted almost unanimously at Brunswick arid his father was tele- for the opening of the fair on Sunday. And they are good Christian women.” —Times Enterprise May 7.

J. Colton Lynes, President. A Quick Trip on Wheels. Mr. Johu Philpot, who went down to Thomas ville several days ago, rid ing part of the way on his bicycle, returned home this morning, wheel ing the entire distance on h»s “Co lumbia.” He left Thomasville at 4:45 o’clock, and reached the Artesian City a few minutes after eleven, making the run of sixty' miles in about six hours and a quarter, nearly ten mile3 an hour. The trip is considered somewhat re markable, and Mr. Philpot has reason to feel proud of it.—Albany Herald. Referring to the outlook' for Le Conte pears in and around Tallahassee the Floridian says: Pear blight in almost.every section of the county will cut the pear crop short in this county. Pear-growers have been wrestling with the dilemma, and we believe have finally concluded to take the advice of their Thomas county (Ga.) neighbors and let ture take care ot itself. We have seen only two groves that aro not af fected in the whole county, but we trust there are others equally fortuuate. These are owned by Mr. B. C. Whit field and Mr, ~J. C, M, Shine, both about five miles east of the city. The Savannah Press says: “One of the most successful busi ness men in the city is Mr. Peter Sampson. By his integrity and a strict attention to business he has built up for himself a splendid trade. Mr. Sampson is president of the Greek Society and proprietor of the grocery store, Jefferson and Bryan streets.” Mr. Peter Sampson is a brother Of our Mr. Sampson, the well known fruit dealer.

Thomasville, Ga., May 10, '93. Gait. Triplett: Please allow space for a summary and demonstration* of that muchly worked land problem, which if not satisfactory to the gladiators in our intellectual arena, it is because they have subverted a simple and essential principle of arithmetic. Each man pays half the purchase money, each receives half the proceeds, and neither gets hi) money’s worth! Worth is a no~un, in this sense, meaning va’uc; A and B jointly pay 8400 and receive in ue §400. It has been shown by every figurer, that each receives a tract of land of the same value. Then if the two received in land the value of 8400, each must have received in land the value of 8200, aud hence the worth of his money. B. C. Ingalls.

Tbe Bicycle Club, Judge Hopkins, president, presiding, met at Judge Hopkins last night The following new . members were elected: Col. J. Colton Lynes, J. H. Merrill, F. W. Hopkins, J. T. Pitt man, and Carlos Lynes. The following committee on by laws was appointed: J. H. Merrill, G. W. Forbes and J. B. Chisholm, Jr. Club adjourned to meet on next Tuesday afternoon at 4 p. m. to go in procession to the race track to attend the races arranged for that afternoon.

He will doubtless carry ovir many from Thomasville, An Answer to Subscriber. Elsewhere will be found a commu nication from ‘‘Subscriber,” in which two extracts from a late issue of the Times-Enterprise is quoted. At first glance it would appear that they were in consistent The Sabbath day Bhould be kept and observed. No people, as a whole, can afford to ig nore this holy day. Mari needs to reBt one -day in seven...This was a most wise act of the Creator.. Bnt, in the very nature of things, all cannot absolutely rest. The good housewife most prepafe her meals on Sunday, or have it done by a.servant. The great steamships at sea, T wifb its thousand passengers, cannot stop in mid ocean rind rest on Sunday, The engineers must stand by their engines, the pilot at his wheel, and'the officer on the bridge. The.telegraphic ope rator most be at his instrument to send for physician or summon relar tives to the bed side of the dying. These' things cannot be deferred. But, in, the main, the great body of the people can, and should, keep the Sabbath holy. ~ As to openiog the World’s fair on Sunday, we simply agree with many of the most distinguished divines in this country. They say, and truly, tod, that infinitely more harm will result fromclosiDg the gates than in opening them. Id the former case the thousands and tens of thousands "of visitors will find their way to the low dens and dives in Chicago on Sunday. These, and the.bar rooms, will attract thousands. If the fair was kept open many, very many, uf these would pass the day in going through the vast grounds .and buildings, ad miring the architecture, the paintings and i are exhibits. Surely this is better than spending the day as sug gested in the event of the fair being closed. Thdu there are thousands, nay tens of thousands, of working men who have not the time or means to visit the fair on any other day. Simply as a matter of good morals, it is better to open the gates of the fair on Sunday. This is the view taken of it by the Women’s Department Qf the World’s fair. For the kindly expressed personal sentiments contained in a private, note accompanying the communication, ; to tender sincere thanks. They are the sentiments of a devoted and loyal follower of Christ. We have always advocated law and order, pure morals and good will toward men, and have the highest possible respect for the Christian religion and those who profess it. We try to do as much good as possible, and as lit tle harm. We have been requested by the Ladies Memorial Association to ten der their sincere thanks to Col. Lynes, orator of the day, Miss Hope Linton, tbe splendid quintette of singers, tbe military, o'd veterans, and others who assisted in the exercises of Memorial Day, on the 25th of April. Their kindness is but an evidence that the Southern people still cherish the sacred memory of their dead. So long aa southern sunshine bathes their humble graves, and flowers bloc-m, will the people pay tribute to Dixie’s dead. The resolution of Mayor Hopkins, in reference to public schools, pub lished in the proceedings of coun cil, was quite generally dis cussed yesterday. The question is an important one, and it should receive the earnest attention of the citizens of the town. The News arid Advertiser of yes-- terday says: ^ " - ‘•Kev. E.B. Carroll will leave this morning for Nashville, where he goes to attend the Southern Baptist Con vention that will be held there this week.. -He will visit Forsyth on his way to Nashville.” T Municipal law breakers are coming to the conclusion that Mayor Hop kins means business. There are good: grounds for these conclusions. It appears that there $re some reck less bicycle ridera in Thomasvilla. Some of them disregard the rules about lights and danger signals. Others are in the habit of riding on the side walke within the fire limits. Infractions have been given to the police force to arrest every violator. Marshal Spair and the police force are on the lookout,- and are deter mined to protect jiedestrians. Be careful boys^or yon will get into trouble. A prominent young lawyer, whose experience in riding a bicycle, dates back but a few days, rolled away from the intersection of Broad and Jack* son streets yesterday afternoon for a short spin. Eight minutes took him to Col. McIntyre’s, two miles from town. Taking the boulevard there, he returned to the starting point, making'about six miles, in twenty- eight minutes.. Pretty good for an amatenr. , ‘Tip” Harrison, of the governor’s household, the widows and old sol diers friend, browned by the sun, but jolly and clever as the day is long, passed through here yesterday en- route to Atlanta. With a number of other gentlemen he bad been plying the piscatorial art at Dead Lake, Fla. The next time Tip Harrison passes through ThomasviUe without stopping, there will be trouble. Willie Grey Brought Back. Sheriff Doss returned from Florida yesterday morning with Millie Grey, colored, a notice of whose arrest was published in these columps Tuesday morning. Grey was arrested on an indictment found by the grand jury charging him with assault with intent to murder. It'will be remember that about ten months ago he cat the throat of Charley Keys in a dance hall on Lee street. Keys came very near 'passing in his checks” and was only saved by prompt and skillful surgical attention. Grey made his escape, but the officers were on the alert and finally located him in Florida. Grey does not seem to mind his arrest jat all and says that he is anxious to have a speedy trial and serve out his _ time so that he can be. free again. He will very likely be tried at the adjourned term of Thomas Superior court, which meets in June. Speaking of the trial of Walter Williams; now confined in the Thom asville jail, under the charge of*- mur der, the Bainbridge correspondent of the News says: The trial of Walter Williams in the superior court, charged with the murder of Mrs. Brocket in this coun ty twelve years ago, is set for next week. On account of the fact that John Wijliams, brother of Walter, who was serving a life sentence in the penitentiary as an accomplice to this murder, was shot in the throat last week while attempting to make bis escape, and as be was relied on by Walter as a material witness, it was feared that be might get a continu ance. It was wired here to-day that John died Saturday and therejis every reason now to believe that Walter will be tried as expected.” • Religious services are still going on at the Methodist cbnrch each day at 10 o’clock a. m. and 7:45 p. ni. Rev. Mr. ■ Morrill is preaching with great earnestness, point and power, , and there is an increasing interest duly, All oar citizens are invited to attend. Mr. Morrill will be here over next Sunday and preach. He will hold service for men only at 4:30 o’clock Sunday and every man in the city is invited,. . Mr. A. W. Morehouse made a short business visit to Savannah this week. While there he leased thebuilding on the corner of West Broad and Bay streets iu which to pot his mrinufac* luring plant, . We are glad to know that Mr. Morehouse’s plant iu this city will not be removed, but will be continued, Mr. W. H. Morehouse assuming the management. * Attention is called to the ad of De- Honey & Company announcing the fact that they will have a car load of good road, draft and family stock at Elder & Thompson’s stables by Wed nesday, May 17tb, which will be sold at very reasonable prices. Florida Takes A Hand In The - Dispute. - Capt.Triplett: _• * I beg permission to be a participant in tbe mathematical tournament that has engaged the thoughts of some teachers and professors in the Thomas county schools. Before poising my lance or brandishing my battle ax, it is becoming in mo to make a graceful salute Jto my old friend, Prof. Ingalls, and hope he will pardon my cynical pen should-l express surprise that he, like Prof. ^Stubbs, failed to properly interpret the problem o'f A and B. I shall only attempt to show the error of Prof, Sjubbs. He places opposite B’s name a x 1-9 acres, of land at $2.35 whet the conditions of the problem plainly enunciates that B is to have bis Szoo worth of land at $ 1.75. <• The Sum is a conditional one/and^I think complete, when stated, and solved in accord with the intent and conditions as enubciated in Prof, Stubbs’ letter of 6th inst. Let us consider,carefully the agreement between A and B and there can-be but one solution, since no two separate operations in which acres represent tbo multiplicand and dollars represent the multiplier, will produce A,s $200 bottom land, at $2.25* and B’s 8200 upland at ^$1.75. In corns mon law and common usage the old adage „ holds tfub “first- come first served.” Before the purchase was made there was nothing binding between the parties A and B, unless it be tbe purchase itself. The conditons to be considered first, is that A agrees to take $200 worth of bottom land at $2.25, this settles it: because B gets only what is left after subtracting the quotient desired from dividing $200 by 2 1-4. This is 88 S-9 acres repre senting A’s share of land, 8S 8 9 from 200 acres leaves in 1-9 B’s share. But hi 1-9 multiplied, by i v 3'4 is equal to $194 4 9 leaving due B in money the balecce unconsumed $5 5 9 This sura may be, considered para doxical by some, but I can according to the stipulations see nothing ambig uous, erronious or incomplete in its enuncia’ion. Respectfully, I. M. Blake. Lloyd, Fla * Business was lively yesterday in the county court. Lucius Mifchell and Mac Smitb, charged with gaming, concluded they could not bluff the court, 60 they plead guilty and asked for clemency. Peter Harris, charged with cheating aud swindling, feeling that a defense would be useless, plead guilty to the charge and threw him self on the mercy of the court. The against Connell, for cheating and swindling, was settled by consent of parties with the concurrence of the court. A case against Richard G recn was noli prossed. The court proceed ed to fir a fine of §50 and costs on Green, in the csss for gaming, ol which he waB convicted on Wednes day. Green paid the fine promptly. John .O’Brien, who was cuuvicted the day before for keeping a disorderly place, was sentenced to pay a fitriTof 8100 and ccsts or 12 month; gang. He gave notice of certiorari and was put under 8500 bond.
