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.

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. Respectfully submitted, W. H. Owens.

As a means of encouragiug that generous rivalry which must result in good, we ask the farmers of Thomas to give us the largest yield per acre in 1892. ot the following crops: Cot ton, corn, oats, peas, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, sea island cotton, calw bages, ground peas,* syrup aud tobac The name of tbe grower and the yieldwrill be published and after all the rttqjTHr are in we will publish a consolidated list.

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 family burying ground, eight miles from town, on Wednesday Revs. Parker and Wynn conducting tbe services. The popular Kindergarten school of Miss Mary F. Barnes closed last Friday. For several days her little pupils have been having their quaint commencement exercises.

Miss 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. Prot John O. Culpepper, who has been conducting a school at Dixie for the past year, was in town yesterday. From him we learn that he will teach in Quitman next, term, he having been made assistant principal ot the graded school at that place.
