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.

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

About Opening The World’s

“Remember that this is the Sab
bath day. Keep it holy.”
“The National Commission reports
against opening the big fair on Sunday.

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

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.

trust there are others equally fortuuate.
These are owned by Mr. B. C. Whit

A Summary of That Problem.
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.

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,

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.” •

Florida Takes A Hand In The

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,
