Will the railroad put on round trip

There are many whose business is
such that they can’t leave it during
the week who would take advantage
of tiles'! rates and fpend Sundays at
some near by watering place. We
have bceu arked frequently of late if
such rates had been put on, or if
they would be put on this season.
For tho cccjmmodation of that class

hope they will.

purchase a farm here if a suitable one
can be secured at a reasonable price.
We hope the gentleman can make
satisfactory arrangements and become
a permanent cTizon of . tho place.
We. can promise him a cordial wel
come at the hands of our citizens.
Mr." Jacob Bdtn^ who ;was taken
suddenly ill with an a(tack ot appo-
plexy about 0000 Thursday, died
abbut t o’clock Friday morning. It
was apparent from the first that he
co j Id not liv'd, but, his illnesf was of
such 'short duratiou that his family was
toUHy unprepared for it. Mr. Born
was in his usual good health Thursday
morning and was seeo about half put
ten o'clock laughing and joking with
his triend> 01 the streets. Shortly at*
ttrward ne was stricken down. A
carriage was procured and he was
taken to his home in an unconscious
condition. Dr. McIntosh was cent
for, and, seeing tha crticai condition
of his patient, at once brought into
use all bis medical skill to save the
; !<fe, but it was of no use. He
was beyond human aid, and as stated'
passed away about midnight.
Mr. Born, “fake,” as he was familiar
ly called, was the very picture of
health, and no one dreamed for a mo
ment that his end was so near. He
d to Thomasville about a year
ago from Hainbridge, since which time
he has beep running a boarding bouse
here. He was oi a genial disposition
and enjoyed the acquaintance
and friendship ot nearly every
citizen ot »he place. He was fifty-seven
years oi l, .vid leaves a wife and seven
children to mourn his death. To
we extend our sympathy. The
remains were taken to Bainbridge
yesterday for interment, accompanied
by the family of the dccased.

Two Letters From The Ex
cursionists.
' ~~ St. Simon’s Island, Ga.,
June 16th, 1893.
Mb. Editor: .
Our Thomaumlla excursion party
bound for St. Siinou laland, after a
long aud tiresome journej, reached
Brunswick safely without accident or
incident. We unfortunately arrived
in the midst of a pouring nun. After
a short delay we ventured out under
umbrellas to tho wharf, where tbe
boat "Pape Gatlin” awaited. Pas
sengers and baggage were hurriedly
located and all aboard for St. Simon
was’ exultantly pronounced. For
half an hour we glided along smooth
ly. The clouds were” very .threaten*
ing at a distance. The tide was com
ing in . accompanied with a strong
wind. Everybody seemed to ieel
quite comfortable despite tbe slow
progrees we made. The more we
advanced at sea it perceptibly grew
rougher. Tho wiud increased iu lury,
causing the boat to toss wildly on the
mad waves. A rocking chair seemed
little comparison. Unpleasant
sensations were apparent in the crowd.
Several ladies were sea sick, some
were overcome with dizziness, others
were somewhat frightened. A south
east gale was .inevitable. • Tbe storm
grew in intensity. Finally after a
severe struggle we came right in front
of the St. Simon boat landing when a
terrific gale more creel than tbe rest
suddenly turned around the boat and
mercilessiy-seem to fiuat away. What
a misfortune. The street care could
be seen on the pier awaiting our ar
rival, but alas I proximity was im
possible. The captain realizing the
danger of making further attempts to
land steered his - course gradually
around the Island into Darien river
where we landed safely at the mill.
By this time half a dozen teams were
on hand, eqnal to the emergency,
carried a part of the crowd tour miles
across the island to St. Simon Hotel.
Some of the gentlemen walked all the
way. At six o’clock we were all
quartered.
The storm raged violently. The
hotel>hook like an earthquake. The
ladies bath house on the beach was
entirely demolished. The gentlemen
through much sympathy offered to
divide a portion of their bath house
for accommodation.
The storm abated at twelve o’clock
when the poor exhausted excursion
party tell asleep from fatigue to dream
over a grand experience.
A bad beginning always makes a
good ending. We have this wise
consolation. All is quiet to-day.
We are cheerful and happy. Really
I must say that I feel proud of hav
ing witnessed a perfectly grand sea
While we are enjoying this delight
ful invigorating breeze, kissed by
oceans wave and refreshing ourselves
iu the surf, I remember with kindest
feelings my Thomasvilie friends. Au
revoir. - F. L. E.
St. Simon June 16th, 18113.
An anticipated trip to St. Simon’s
is pleasant; reading of the genuine
unrestrained waves, promising terror,
but in a moment leaving sublimity, is
more pleasant; but to realty land on
St. Simon’s Island and put on a bath
ing suit,, forgetting the past, and in.
dulging in the many pleasures
afforded here, is decidedly the most
pleasant ot all.
Disappointment was in our path.
One hundred and forty landed at
Brunswick on time, quick time and a
lovely time. We then boarded the
Pope Gatlin, expecting smooth sailing
and a quiet landing at St. Simons,
Everybody was busy, the- new one*
asking questions and ite old ones try
ing to answer them. Many fund odd
were tiie expressions on every side;
such as, "what a beautiful oat patch,"
I guess they are fishing for
whale, they have a such a large
cork.” “How I do wish water was
rough, I want once to experience the
fashionable expression, I was a little'
sea sick.” We were soon faring a
strong wind and the boat began to
rock and ride, and many realised for
tbe first time what parte of the body
were influenced by a ship riding wild
waves.
Judging from the efforts made at
walking one would think the passen
gers certainly had empty bottles on
their person. On nearing the land
ing the ladies felt delighted, for some
were feeling a peculiar uneasiness,
and all had become satisfied with
their experience. Cept. Dari, the
sale, courteous and efficient Captain,
did not consider it safe to try to land
at the light house so we bad a free
sail around the island to 8t, Simon’s
mills, which is. three palmetto -root
mites from the hotel. With some in
Carriages and wagons, and some walk
ing, we reached the hotel in good
The Boston and Albany Soad,
United States Marshal Frank Lev
effett returned yesterday from Pidcock
where he went to take possession of
tbe Boston and* Albany railroad, of
which he was recently appointed
temporary receiver by Judge Speer.
The road had been operated in con-
uecthn with tbe Quitman Lumber
Company, far which M. R. Mallette
woa some time ago appointed tempo
rary receiver by the superior coart oi
Brooks county. ’ It was expected that
Receiver Loverett ■ would nieet with
soma difficulty in obtaining possession
of the road, but when he arrived he
simply made a demand on those in
charge to turn over the property to
him coder instructions from court,
and after brief consultation he was
given full charge.
Receiver Loverett took a trip over
the road and toond that it ran through
a section which contributed a large
amount oi freight, inch as water
melons, naval stores, and lumber. He
louod several car loads of freight on
the track ready to be moyed, and
came to the conclusion that tbe road,
if properly managed, oould be made
a paying piece of property. He ap
pointed Mr. Robert McLean as bis
agent and ordered every acoonnt to
be rendered strictly to him. The
road is thirty-one miles in length and
runs through a rich section of coun-
try.
What a Lady Thinks.
We are permitted to make the fob
lowing extract from a letter received by
a lady of this place from a lady friend
in Chicago, which speaks ot woman
suffrage:
That reminds me of one evil that
will, I fear, grow out of this exposition.
It is the Woman’s congress, where, in
woman’s building, speeches are made
daily advocaliog woman’s suffrage. It
was laughable aad disgusting to hear
ooc tell that she kit two children ill
with scarlet fever to come there to
help the cause of woman’s rights. Ir
is frightful how the teeling inns apace
up here, and they thought me very
old fashioned when I insisted that
woman already held the reins of gov
ernmet; that sbe was the power behind
the throne; that Mrs. Cleveland was
the real president; that of woman's
intuition man’s genius was bprn, and
that, most likely, would she dethrone
herself when she insisted upon*" being
placed upon the same level (as they
express it) with man.”
Thomas Superior Court.
The adjourned term of Thomas
superior court convened Monday
morning, Judge Hansell presiding.
A few jurors had been excused since
last court, and alter others had been
sworn in to take their places, the
Judge commenced on the civil docket.
The first case, and in fact the only
case tried during the day, was a di
vorce case. The jury granted the
divorce in about five minutes. A
number of cases were sounded daring
the day, and a few judgments wtre
taken, but the majority were continued
for various causes. The grand jury
met promptly at ten o’clock and wept
to work at onoe. They devoted con
siderable time to investigating the
killing of the Cuban, which occur ed
on Batnrday, night. They did not
return any bills yesterday afternoon,
and of course it is not known what
the action was taken by the body.
John W.’hlitchcll.
The above well known yonhg gen
tleman has an ndvertriement in this
morning’s paper. He is probably the
best known and most successful com
mission man and solicitor that bandies
pears and melons boot this sectioo.
He is a Thomas county boy and
needs no recommendation at our
hands. Everybody knows John Mitch
ell. He is representing the foOowing
well known- commission houses tins
year and those who have melons or
pears to ship should see him before
shipping: Martens & Gulick, New
York; Snow & Co., Philadelphia; T.
H, Evans, Baltimore; P. M. Kelly,
St, Louis; Geo. W. Linn “A. Sons,
Chicago; Geo. W. Davidson A Co.,
New Orleans. As will be seen from
the .above John can ship your stuff
anywhere. Sec him.
The unprovoked killing of. a Cuban
in his room at the City Hotel on Sat
urday night, has, notwithstanding the
fact that the killing was done by one
of their own countrymen, created a
great deal oi excitement among those
composing the Caban' colony in this
city.
About eleven o’clock on Saturday
night the officers were sent for and
notified that a man was shot in the
City Hotel. Tbe news-Spread rapid
ly and soon quite a number were
gathered in and around the place,
when it was learned that Bamon Cor-
esz was shot by Antonio Chacon, and
wa3 then, lying in a dying condition
in the hotel.
The story told by those present was
to tho effect that Chacon, who was
drinking, rapped upon the door of
Coreaz’s room, Coreas opened the
door when Chacon fired a pistol in
his face, the ball going through his
neck. There was not a word spoken
by either parties.
According to a statement made by
Coreas to Sheriff Does just before he
died, both the men were friends and
had never had any falling oat
Chacon ran as soon as he fired the
pistol, but he was captured a short
while after by Sheriff Doss and the
police in .Richard Green’s bar-room,
which is near the hotel. Be offered
no resistance and was locked np.
The wounded man died about two
o’clock Sunday morning, and Coroner
Johnson was notified, who came to
to town and summoned a jury of in
quest, The inquest was held about
nine o'clock Sunday morning. The
witnesses were largely composed of
Spanish speaking people and an in
terpreter had to be used. This nec
essarily consumed much time and
rendered the investigations rather
tedious.
Among other witnesses sworn was
Jose del Pino, who said: *‘I and de
ceased were in the latter’s room. Fer
nando Perdona came in shortly after
wards and we three sat down on the
bed and were talking. Had been
there some time when we heard a
knock on the door, which made a
great noise. Deceased got np and
opened the door to see what it was.
As he opeoed the door he ifia shot.
I heard nothing said. Saw Antonio
Chacon when be shot deceased and
ran. It was a little dark, there be
ing only a candle burning in the room.
Am not positive whether shooting'was
done with a gun or pistol, but think
the latter. They seemed to be on good
terms and had had no falling out.
Antonio Chacon was under the influ
ence of liquor. As far as I know his
character has been good.’
Fernando Perdona, who was also
in the room, swore to substantially
the same as above.
Willie Laoguaid swore that he was
in a room upstairs'asleep when he
was aroused by knocking on the wall.
He got up and saw Antonio Chacon
flourishing a pistol. “Asked him what
was the matter. He replied that he
wanted a smoke and would have it or
raise h—11. I ran, when he chased
me around upstairs and out on the
▼eranda. He threw the pistol at me.
It struck my foot. I'picked it up and
started to throw it out of the window.
He told me ii I did he would kill me,
I gave to him, when he went down
stairs. I heard the report of the pistol
soon after. Chaoon acted as if he
is drunk.”
A number of other witnesses were
examined and tbe sheriff repeated the
dying man’s statement to the jury,
after which the following verdict was
rendered:
GEORGIA,—Thomas Co,
June 18,1893.
We, the jury, sworn to inquire into
the killing of Ramon Coreas on the
night oi June 18, 1893, at the Vir
ginia Houser in Thomasville, Ga.,
find that deceased came to hie
death from a gun shot wound inflict-
ed in the neck from a pistol in the
bands of Antonio Chaoon, and we
pronounce it mnrder.

The Race Problem.
Eniroa Times Entekpiusk:
I noticed in your paper of yester
day an article of W. B. Wilson’s rel
ative to the negro problem, and I ask
permission to say a few words through
yonr paper about the subject myself,
as there are some thiogs contained in
the Elder’s article upon which we
must agree to disagree. , It is true
that the negroes are regarded by the
white people aa inferiors, and ove^ry
thinking man knows the reason 01
—ha previous condition—slavery. 1
am no scholar myself but as far back
as I have read, I know that people
who have been enslaved were gener
ally regarded inferior to those who
had them in bondage. It is an estab
lished fact that intelligence will rule.
When the negroes were brought to
this country they were intellectually
and socially inferior to their white
brethren, and for that reason they are
regarded to-day as inferiors, Aly-
opinion is that there are no newspa
per articles that can solve the negro
problem, that the negro will have to
solve his problem himself. "Talkie
cheap bntit takes money to buy land.”
Less talk, more work, more education
and money will do more toward solv*
ing the problem than emigrating to
Airica or any other country. The
majority of “calamity acreechers” that
are going about advising the colored
people to emigrate to Africa, are do
iog it for no less than money and they
know as much about Africa as the
majority of colored people. Th?
truth is they are doing more harm
than good, because they keep the
minds of the colored people poisoned
with hatred for those with whom they
live and from whom they get their
“hog and hominy.” My advice to
my race is to stay where you are,
work, save your money, educate your
children, respect yourselves, and
others will respect you. Pay less at
tention to these fellows that are try
ing to ship you to Africa aud you
will get along much belter.

Mr. and Mrs. lOf. Wertz, which
occurred at the home of her parents
on last Tuesday. She was 18 mouths
and a half of age, and a very bright
and loving child, the very idol of her
parents. Iler death is a sad blow to
them and they have the sympathy of
every one in their affliction. The
little one was tenderly laid to re3t in

The popular Kindergarten school
of Miss Mary F. Barnes closed last

Barnes, always thoughtful about the
pleasure and happiness of her pupils,
aa well as about, their advancement,
gave the school a picnic last week.
The school will be re*opeued about
the middle of September.
