Tom Herring, the Slayer of
Willie Miles, Tried for the
Crime Yesterday.
Judge Hansell commenced on the
criminal docket in the Superior court
yesterday and the first case taken up
the one against Tom Herring,
the co’ored man indicted by the grand
jury last April for murder.
-Our readers will doubtless remember
the case. Tom shot and killed Wil
lie Miles, a boy, on or^about the
twenty-firat of last April at the fac
tory of the Thomasville Ice Manufhc*
turing and Cold Storage Company.
Both the coroner’s and grand juries
said that the crime was murder, and
things looked rather blue tor the pris
oner. He was represented by Messrs.
Snodgrass & Hawkins,, while Solicitor
Peeples looked after the State’s inter
est
The. ovidence introduced at the
trial was about to the effect that
Willie Miles and two others wore
packing Borne ice when Tom Herring,
who u£night engineer at the factory,
came up and told Willie to curse one
of the others. The boy said he would
not do so, whereupon Herring pulled
a pistol out of his pocket and point
ing it at the boy told him if lie did
not curse the man he would shoot
him. The pistol went off and the boy
dropped dead. It was shown that
the boy and Herring were good
friends, and that Herring had been in
the habit of pointing his gun at the
boys working at the factory to scare
them.
Mr. Hawkins spoke about one
hour in defense of the prisoner and
he made a rattling good speech. Mr.
Peeples, for the State, spoke about
thirty minutes.
The Judge’s charge to the jury was
full and covered sll the law on the
case.
The jury went out about twenty
minutes after four o’clock and for
some lime it looked as if they were
going to be hung up. Finally, how
ever, about seven o’clock, they came
into the court room and announced
their verdict, which was a follows:
We, the jury,find the prisoner guilty
of involuntary manslaughter in the
commission of an unlawful act.” This
is just about such a verdict as those
familiar with the case expected . The
prisoner will get anywhere between
one and four years in the peniten
tiary.—Daily T.-E. June 22.
From St Simons.
Mr. Editor:
The recent storm which accompa
nied our excursion party to St. Simons
and the sensational excitement which
prevailed, has long since subsided.
All is quiet and calm.
It is homelike - and pleasant here.
The hotel is reasonably filled, thereby
making plenty of'elbow room for the
guests. Mr. Clancey, the proprietor,
is very hospitable. The cuisine is
certainly fine and well served and from
all appearances the epicures seem to
do full justice and continue urSharpcn
their appetites. ;
Yesterday, though Sunday, was
quite entertaining. As usual the boat
brought over a crowd to spend the
day. The orchestra furnished some
excellent music. A lady from.Atlanta
sang charmingly. Miss Julia Sfark
delighted the audiehce .ln her usual *
elegant style. Mrs, Barbaty, a college
classmate of mine,.rendered some very
fine music. By the way, she is very
talented, having made a name in the
literary world.
At 4*30 p. m. services were held in
the Episcopal church. In conclusion
Sunday cicfeed pleasantly by a surf
bath. Gf course the latter seems to
be the most prominent feature of rec
reation. The tides come ii oddly
causing a little inconvenience. The
morning tide is about 11:30, the even
ing tide at 10 o’clock, both at unpro-
pitiouS hours. I must say I never
learned the knoweldge of tides in ray
geography as perfectly as I compre
hend them from my own observation.
It is a very interesting study.
There is much latitude allowed
on the sea shore. Ceremony is dis
carded here. We appear originally.
In fact, it seems like a big family.
Wc don’t pay much attention to pur
good looks. We wear our hair, from
necessity, in a natural way. The salt
air p’ays havoc with curly baogs.
List night a prodigious turtle was
captured.. 1 went early in the morning
to make a survey of the 200 poundw.
I am happy in giving you a full as
surance of cur utmost enjoyment and
in anticipating to meet you in a few
days I bid you adieu.

He is a Walker.
Mr, Richmond, of Iowa, is in the
city and paid our office a visit yester
day morning. Mr. Richmond is a
professional sprinter, and came in to
if any amusements were being
gotten op for the fourth of July in morB ; ng . The court appointed Mr.
Thomasville. He is anxious to have
a race with somebody; whether lor a
long or short distance. He claims
to have walked many races in nearly
every portion of the Uoited States. - .
He walked with' Ora Barf, of Cal^
ifornia, in New Orleans, in. 1891,
making a record of seventy-four miles
in twelve hours. He has walked
against Prater, the great Allafita sprin
ter, and says he trained J. W, Ford,
of Macon, the champion walker of
Georgia. He says he is willing to
walk against any man in the United
States except Ford, He excepts
Ford on account of having trained
him, .
Mr. Richmond is very anxious to
get up a contest here for the fourth of
July, and Tom Bottoms says Thom
asville will accommodate him if he has
walk against him himself, What’s
the matter with some of Thoraasville’s
fast walkers giving the gentleman from
Iowa a chance to show what ^he can
do? We dare say that-Tom Bottoms
Walter Rennie would interest him
a short race, and we know that
Ginger” Pittman and Boh Evans
would stay with him on a long one,
Ginger” would not be very far away
when the walker from Iowa crossed
the line. We hope some of the boys
will enter the race just for the fun of
the thing. There will be other amuse
ments here on the fourib, why k not
have a walking match?

Thouiasville’s best citizens, and we
are sure that every one on the island

northeastern places.
The island U situated about ten
miles from Brunswick Ga., from
where three boats run daily. The
Hotel at. Simons is one of the moat
fiuely appointed to be found any
where, being under the splendid
management of Mr. J. H. Claucey.
There are numerous places of his
toric interest on the island, the most
prominent being: Th6 old Fort,where
Oglctborjie and the English held the
Spaniards at. bay, John Wesley Oak.
Fredericks, King’s Retreat, Kansa
Point and Olive groves and the Light
house. The surf bathing ia superb,
and the beach, which is about 300
feet wide and 6 miles long, affords a
fine drive for pedestrian, horse
bicycle. Dancing mnsic is furnished
at the hotel by an orchestra of seven
| pieces, hops ofi Wednesday and Sat-
j urday nights and concerts on every
[ morning and Sunday* evening. There
are about 150 guests in the hotel at
present. All who possihly can should
visit this beautiful summer resort.

while strolling on the beach the other
day, saw a sand crab and cried out

The old wreck, which several of
our Thomasville friends have seen,
was turned over by the gale, but still
remains above the sand.
There has not been a mosquito seen
on St Simons since the arrival of the
Thomasville party. Quite strange
that Thomasville people should scare
away these pests.

Movement of Melons.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
number of cars of melons shipped this
season is far short of what were ship
ped up to a corresponding date last
year, the indications are that almost
nut quite as many will be shipped
during the whole reason as on the
year preceding. The' present short-
e is accounted for by the backward-
c8 of the season and the delay in
shipping caused by the recent heavy
rains. While tho acreage is less than
last year the yield is said to be better
and will make up for the deficit in
acreage. Yesterday was the heaviest
day’s shipping of the season. In or
der to transport tho large number of
cars loaded, four extra trains had to
be run, and every matt on this divis-
the employ ot the road was
out. The melon bulletin put up by
the 8. F. & W. R’y only gives the
shipments for the day previous
could not learn last night how
many cars were shipped yesterday.
There were fifty-six cars shipped on
Monday. On the same date last year
one hundred and seventy one
wore slopped. .Up to and including
the 19th 40)0 cars have gone forward
this year. Iu 1§92 there were 886.
The Quitman Free Press says:
Mr. W. T. Gaul Jen has been elected

oats, peas, sweet potatoes, sea island
cotton, cabbages, ground peas, Byrup,
tobacco, etc., Mr. M. M. Futch
sends us in what we consider a very
fine yield of corn, and cotton. He
rinsed last year on one acre of land,
75 bushels, 3 pecks and 1 pint of
corn. On three acres and a quarter
he produced 4,250 pounds of seed
cotton. These are fine yields, but
then Mr. Futch is one of the best
farmers in Georgia. We hope more
of our farmers will send us in their
brag yields. The name of the grower
and the yield will be published aud
after all the returns are in we will
publish a consolidated list. Such ius
formation will do the country good;
and we hope the farmers will assist
us in getting up the list by sending iu
the best yields made of any of these
crops during last year.

Dr. Adams said that he had officiated
at the mkrriage of Miss Blanche

'The little sinner!'*
Miss Blanche came to Amtr cuson'y
a few months ago from Florida, ar.d
she very soon gathered around her
corteiie of admiring friends of both
sexes. Her efforts to please were
unwearying, which, combined with a
force of intellect way above the aver
age and an enviable degree ol culti
vation, formed* an individuality that
£Ould not fail to form for itself a niche
in the heart of every one of her friends.
It was suspected that she. “liked”
Dr. Bickford, but no one dreamed
that an early marriage was a probabil

Yes, but Dr. Bickford must be a very
good husband or many will not forgive
him.—Americus Times-Recorder.

much happiness.
Movement of Melons.
The present melon season started
in rather slowly, but it is rapidly
picking up uow, and will donbtl^s
soon catch up with last season. Mel
ons are going forward now with
great rush. The railroads have all
they can do to handle * the' business.
On Wednesday 173 cars were ship
ped, while on the same date last year
105 went off. The total number
cars shipped up to aud including
Wednesday was 778; up to the
date last year 1062.

Got Off Easy.
. Wiilie Harris, colored, who has
been confined in jail here for several
weeks, charged with* assault with in
tent to murder, was arraigned for
trial in the Superior coart Thursday
T. N. Hopkins to defend the negro,
and after consultation with the patties
at interest on.both sides he succeeded
in gettjng the Solicitor to accept a
plea of guilty of assault and battery,
which will send Harris to the chain
gang for not more than twelve
mouths. If he hat) been tried and
convicted for the original charge he
would haye had to serve a long term
in the penitentiary. Hama came
very near killing a negro by the namo
of McCloud: He laid open McCloud'
jaw and then attempted to
throat, stabbing him several times
and about the neck. But there ^eW
some mitigating circumstances con
nected with the affair, which, tl
many minds, amounted almost tJj
justification. Harris caught McCloud
in a rather compromising position
with his wife, which provoked the
assault. ^The compromise effictcd by
Messrs* Hopkins and Peeples is con
sidered a good disposition of the case.
cut Jh cuter.
Convicted.
The only case tried in the Superior
court Thursday was the case of the
State against Willie Gray, charged
with assault with attempt to murder.
Gray, it will be remembered, is the
person who cut the throat of Charlie
Sharp last year, and which came so
near resulting fatally for the latter.
The court appointed Mr. Theo
Tims to defend the prisoner. Solicit*
Peeples was assisted in the prose-
cation by Mr. T. N. Hopkins. Mr.
Titus labored under many disadvan
tages. The case was a bad one to
start od, and he had very little time to
prepare a plan of defense. He, how-
that any one could have done for his
client. His speech to the jury was a
splendid one and the young lawyer
was highly complimented on his effort.
Mr. Hopkins also made a good
speech. The jury'was not cut over
five minutes when they returned with
virdictof guilty.
The following postal mailed at

Cotton Mills.
“The Tombigbee Cotton Mills, Co
lumbus, Miss., aro entitled to rank
among the successful Southern cotton
mills, having earned during their
past year 826,000, or nearly 18 per
cent on the capital of SI50,000. The
mills contain forty cards, 5
spindles--and 300 looms, making shirt
ings, sheetings, drillings, osuaburgs
and rope.”
The above, taken from the ^Times-
Recorder of Americus, is a pointer to
other Southern towns. Why is tot
more cotton manufactured in the
South ? It is the puzzle of the day ;
but the tide is setting in this direction.
Thomasville offers many inducements
for the inauguration of such. aiL ens
terprise. The busy whirr of spindles
should be heard from early morn till
dewy eve in this fair Southern town.
We have the cotton grown right
at our doors, the geographical location
and the capital.
