The Annual Concert of Young Female College One'oi the Most Brilliant in the JHUstory of the College. TLo business of the Western Union office in this city has increased ten siaoe the melon season opened. .Some very fine Thomas melons' were on sale at the groceries yester day for 20 and 25 cents. This is a low price tor this early in the season. I'he Alabama Midland is getting its share of the melon business. It is the quickest and most direct route west. Everyone wishes the college girls ai d boys and the little tot*s in every private school in the town, the hap piest of happy vacations.. Watermelon men and railroad solic itors arc as thick as fleas in Thomas- ville. But they are far more agreeable. In fact they are a jolly set of fellows. Fitly seven carloads of melons were shipped from off the line of the S. F. & \V. on Tuesday against forty-eight on the same date last year. 'I'he first car load of. melons from Metcalfe to Chicago were shipped by Mr. O A. ihoinas and not by Mr. T. J. Horne as we sfated a few days ago Mr. W.’II. Mitchell arid Mr. l»n.q>ar del Pmo are out West selling cigars for the Cubans City Cigar Com- pu»y. We learn that they are meet- iug with very great success. A dispatch from Chicago says: ‘•The Scottish'clan, MacLean, is gath ering for a family reunnn on Fri day.” Kenneth MacLean ought to iheie to represent the Georgia con- lii g'.Mit of that famous clan. It is amusing to see the wistful lo-.k in the eyes of the average darkey around the depot when he sees a car load o” K'i'o Gems going through, i :irn i- nothing so pieairing to the v g’;5 >t\. darkey as a well grown WATCH Last night brought to* a close the commencement season in Thomasvifle. Throughout the varied and interest ing exercises ot both colleges during the past ten dsya the annual concert bythe music department of .Young Female College, which was given last night at the opera house, has been looked forward to with anticipations of pleasure, and with an interest which •bowed unmistakably that the people expected this,to he the crowning event of the commencement season. There is no disguising the fact that the public always appreciate and en*» joy there concerts more than any other feature of the exercises incident to the closing of the school, not because the others are dull and lack ing in entertaining qualities, but every one, almost without exception, is fond of music, and these concerts have long ago become famous for the high order of music rendered, __ ‘ It is no wonder then that the opera house was again crowded lost night. Crowded, did we say? Well, packed would express the situation better, for notwithstanding' the immense seating capacity of the house there was not a vacant seat on the whole floor. We know that President Baker, Mbs Stegall and all connected with the school must have felt highly complimented when they looked out over this vast and brilliant assemblage of the l»CBt people of the town, who braved the heat and endured the crowding to see aud listen to the bril liant programme that was presented. The exercises commenced promptly on time and the following programme was rendered: PRAYER. PART FIRST, 1. Overture—Ditcher uml Ikaur- Suppt* Misses Parker, Bibb, Jennings Montgomery. 2. Chorus—Who will totheG.eeu- wood Hie Perk in, 3. Duett—SJi’.ver Spray Drumheller Missea Cochran cad Mitehe’.I. t. Solo—Nocturne .....Chopin T Kope Elias. The Washington correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch writing to that paper, thus refers to a prominent young North .Carolinian: - “Senator Vanco came in this after, neon from North Carolina. It ia understood he telegraphed the powers that be to hold up appointments in the Western District until he could be heard, and it is also claimed ha will make a final attempt to have H. A. ,Gudger, of Ashville, appointed Collector of Internal Revenue in stead of Kope Elias, who, it Is gener ally believed now, will be Collector.' The prevailing impression here is that if Senator Vance ecore> his point and change! the arrangement Glenn will be knocked out for attorney and Elias giyen that place. Elias will be named for one or the other aa the Freodent tells nearly everybody that he is bound to provide for Elias.’ Mr. Elias is a brother of Mr. Dave Elias and Mrs. I. Levy. During a short visit here some time ego he made many friends in Thomasviile- He is one of the brightest young men in North Carotins. A fine lawyer, doing a big practice, a captivating speaker, ready and eloquent at all times, he wins fame and friends everywhere he goes His speech in the Chicago convention seconding the nomination of Adlai Stevenson for vice-president, was a genuine burst of oratory.^ He held the profound at tention of that great convention aa but tow men could. Kope Elias did yoeman service for Mr. Cleveland at a time when Mr. Cleveland needed aid. Ho was for Grover first last and all the time, and it is hut simple justice that he should be remembered in a substantia! manner by the ad ministration.

She and her friends mast certainly feel gratified at the result of her eflerts. The audience was a very apprecia tive one and was at times almost Boisterous in its applause. The operetta by Misses Ada Kuder, Bessie Smith, Pauline Mitchell, Cul pepper, Cochran, Parker and Alva Brown, wa* one of the hits ot the evening. The sweet faces of the little girls combined with the beautiful costumes and appropriate stage set- ring made a veritable fairy scene. The best thing on the whole pro gramme was the “Shepherd’s Drill,” which was participated in by the fol lowing young ladles: Misses Hopkins, Fuller, Dekle, Horne, Pringle, Jen nings, Campbell, Mallard, Whitfield, Hurst, Brown, Williams, Eason, Montgomery and Kuder. The young ladies went through the many beauti ful and intricate movements with rare grace and precision. The audi ence went wild over the drill and the girls were forced to respond to an enthusiastic encore. The entire concert was a success ic every sense of th? word, and we most congratulate Miss Stegall,, the pains taking teacher, on the highly credit able presentation of the lengthy bat very interesting programme. Changes Hands. The Thomas?ill* Electric Light arvl Power Company has changed haitds. The Thomasviile Exchange and Banking Company bought out the old concern on Monday and took charge of thf. plant yesterday.

The company ba* ordered new en-» giue, dynamos, etc , and will give the town better lights than ever before at a less rate. The electric light com pany is one of the best paying invest ments iu the city and we are glad that the Exchange and Banking Company, which has done aud is do ing so much for Thomasviile, has gotten hold of it. A Liberal Offer. It is astonishing as well as deplora ble the amonnt of ignorance that exists even among the white people of some sections of the country. Hard-y a day passes but what some evidence of the dense ignorance which is prevalent in some localities comes to light.

J."Colton Lynes war elected president for the next scholastic year. As the state’s appropriation has been exhaust* ed and the State University has cut off further appropriations, the college ill be rua on its merits. Col. Lynes, confessedly one of the foremost educa< tors in the state, will give all of his personal attention and time between w aud the opening of the tall term to working up a full attendance is expected that the next term will show the largest number ever enrolled in the history of the institution. Col Lynes has been eminently sue cessful in building up other similar institutions and he will no doubt sue ceed iu placing the South Georgia College in the front rank of Georgia’s educational establishments. Everyone speaks in most flattering terms of the brilliant' snccess of the musical entertainment at the. opera bouse on Tuesday evening.

R. VanDuzer & Son, London, for late- copies of illustrated papers from that greatest city iu the world. Our English cousins, while they are said to be devoid of that fine sense of humor, which; is a characteristic of Americans, know how to get up handsomely illustrated papers, Mr. VanDuzer, who spent last .wiqn r at Iris father's beautiful winter home in Thomasviile, is still kindly remembered J)y the many sesses the rare faculty -of imparting I south in Dixie. All would be delight* that knowledge to others. * • u v - : led to see him here again. iilf I have decided, therefore, that aa it is still a problem unsolved, that I might say some word that would be the means of assisting some man better posted than myself to solve thorough ly and satisfactorily the great ques tion at Issue. They call it a. problem that needs to be solved, or worked out, especially in its relationship to the white race, and every thoughtful man and woman should realize its magnitude and give it a wise and unprejudiced considera tion. I am very much in sympathy with Dr. S. J. Cobb’s views, when he says that the only way to settle the negro question for all time to come in this country is to send them back to Africa, to the land of their nativi ty. But the manner he advises the colored people to go about it. by or ganizing themselves into African em igration societies, I think in my judgment wonld have a very disas trous effect upon the colored race. The colored people as a general think are ignorant, and to go to work and organize them in to African emi gration associations all over tliia country would have tho same effect upon some of them the emanci pation had, especially they being as anxious aa they are to get away from country, as ha* been liemor.strat- ed by them so often iu the past few ears; but when he says let ihe white north and south furnish the means to send them back, I agree ith him fully, for there is no disput- the fact that both sections arc oriole for his being iti this coun try, and have been profited by their servitude. Therefore, lot the white jxsople north anil south organize themselves, thoeo that are in favor mac ting such legislation as will le them to accomplish the desired end, and they will, find that the lored people are ready at any lime. The greatest trouble is for the white folks to get the money ready, and I endorse Dr. Cobb’9 sentiments when he says that the sooner it is done tb*e better it will be for both races, for there is no donbt of the faot that the two races are growing farther apart every day, and, os the Dr. says, if it is delayed too long something terri ble may come of it. These have been my sentiments for some time. The colored race is making very rapid progress in education. After the race is educated it will be man for man in this country, and not color. As it now is, you can take a colored man that douT know his a b c’s and he feels himself an inferior being to a white man, and take one that has been educated and be feels himself a whito man’s equal. Why is this ? it is because education teaches him that God created all men equal, and that out of one blood God created all of the nations of the earth, and he has learned that there is nothing great in the world bat man, and that there is nothing great in roan but mind. Learning elevates the lowest orders of society, stamps the highest value on nobility, and to princes is the most splendid gem iu the diadem of sovers eignty. The key note to the best society is education, whereby all the avenues to advancement are open to all men. Books are our household gods. They make invisible thoughts visible. The great-of the earth bow down-to the # genius of literature. And again, he has learned that the leading principles of the declaration of independence as. have been voiced by the fathers of this republic, arid they are set forth iu the Holy scriptures,are that all men are created qual and that, all have a natural right to liberty and the pun* wit of hap pine**, aud that human governments are instituted for the sole purpose of securing the welfare of the people. Since the negro has become en dowed with all of the necessary quali fication? t>make him an intelligent citizen that should demand the respect and confidence of hie whito brother citizen and find himself further apart than ever before, 1 agree with Dr. Cobb that it will be better for the races to separate, for the education and religious training of this country have failed to bring about that peace and harmony and friendship that should exist between two brothers of one common parentage. The separa tion should be made as early as possi ble, and the negro be sent back to the home .of his nativity, and carry with him a consciousness of the fact that he has discharged his doty, and bid adieu to bis white brethren, and pray that they may be able to meet again on the sweet bulks of deliver- ence, where the races will be able to dwell together in unity, and all earthly distinctions and human, ambitions will be blotted out by the hand of the Supreme Architect of the universe. - ^ Eld.

Five Inches of Water and High and petit jurors that will serve] next week: ' . : Winds Do Math Damage • The heaviest, raia and 'wind storm that ba3 visited Thojnasville in years was eiperieqcril here yesterday. The rain commenced to fall early ia {he moroiug and continued all day long, at times coming dowp in blinding torrents. There was considerate wind in if from the Btart, but about eleven o’clock it commenced to blow harder and by one it was ^blowing a perfect gale. It was almost impossi ble to walk .the streets, and' many who. tried it now mourn the Iose cf an umbrella,. which was -either snatched from the hand or torn to puces by. the fierce winds. The wind kept up its force until about five o'clock oc casionally coming in gusts that.would make the windows rattle and shake the strongest houses. The damage done by the storm is hard to estimate at this writing; though it must amount to many thousands dollars. Many trees all over the city were up rooted and the streets in places ren dered almost impassible by limbs and other debris that were broken ’ off by the wind. Several houses were also blown down and many fences wi l have to be rebuilt. The streets suffered greatly, they being badly washed in places, and bridges washed away. The sewer at the Fletcher street crossing of the railroad was to tally inadequate to the demands made upon it by the fl )od, and water was backed up on the south side of the railroad to a depth of six feet or more and'covering an area of more thau ere. The yard of I’etcr Manago, whose house- is some distance from the crossing, war, completely sub merged, the water on tho lower ride being as bight as tho top jailing of tho fence and reaching the floor of the house.

It was the heaviest storm seen here in years and it is hard to estimate the damage. We learn from Mr. Joseph Black- shear, who came In on the Albany train last night, that while some rain fell as high up as Albany, there was no evidence of a storm apparent until the train reached Meigs Here the people said the whole country was flooded, one citizen claiming that it rained a beer bottle full (of water) at is house. From > Meig9 on to Thom asville the whole country, os far as the eye could see, was covered with water and all the streams were gfcat- ly swollen. The river rose feet during the day. Conductor Sam Jobrson; who bronght in No. 6 on the Alabama Midland last night, reports heavy rains and high winds between this place and Bainbridgo, The news from down tl; about the same. It was reported last night that the sf-orm was general ail over South Goorgia and if anything more severe near the coast.

There is nothing in the present or pros pective relations between the races to justify (he assertion that “something terrible may happen.” The colored race is here and here to stay.
