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. F. L E 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? Good Yields. In response to a notice published days ago asking the farmers, for ke of encouraging that generous rivalry that must result in gobd, to give ua the largest yield per acre in Uver, acquitted himself well and did a 1 A Row Over Watermelons. Aldanv, Ga., June 19.—The haul- g ofJtl^e watermelon crop has stirred up bad b’oed between the Central and S/ivauu#b,‘Florida and Western railroads. The Central railroad poo- complain that the Savannah Florida and’ Western railroad abso> lutely* refuses to place their cars fur melon shipment:*, with the recult that the Central’s business is very largely curtailed and the Savannah, Florida and Western is getting \he lion’s share of the melon busine?8 Within tho past two weeks there has been not less than’ 100 orders for ..Central from shippers along ifco 4 line of the Savannah, Florida and Western, which the latter jias paid' no-; |&ten tion to, thereby forciog shippers to use Savannah, Florida and Western cars and connections in order to, get their melons to market..

St. Simon's Island. 6t. Simon’s Island, oue of Georgia's most popular summer resort, is at piesrnt the resort of a number of Thouiasville’s best citizens, and we are sure that every one on the island h enjoying himself to the fullest ex tent. fhe island ia a model pleasure resort, fu’ly equal to most of tho 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. Mrs W. H. Lofton and child, of Thomasvil’e, .registered at the St. Simons yesterday. Dr. T. & Hopkins and Miss Anna Mallard, of Thomasville, left yester day Tor Darien, Ga. One of Thomasville’s gentlemen while strolling on the beach the other day, saw a sand crab and cried out look at the shrimp.” 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. Scribbler. 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 first assistant of the Albany Acad emy. This is a position of responsi bility and one that requires great ability. Mr. Gaulden is fully 'equal to all its requirements.” Will Gaulden is an old Thomasville boy and one of the beskmen in Geor gia. He will fill the position with credit to himself and to the satisfac tion of his patrons aud pupib. ^ Some parties iu town felt, though very slightly, the shock of earth quake on Tuesday night. One lady noticed a chandelier and nfir- ror slightly moving, but thought, lit tle of it until yesterday when the news of the quake on the coast reach ed hew. . ^ \s will be seen by reference to om advertising columns Miss Laura Jones is offering her entire stock of hats and flowers at strictly New- York cost. This sale is made in order to make room for fall and winter goods, which will soon be coming in. Read the ad and call before the goods are picked over. Governor Hammond? Yes, that sounds right, certain, and would make the right kind, too. We name the Hon. W. M. Hammond, of Thomas, as the next governor Georgia.—Blakely Observer. Mr. J. F. Stone, the irrepressible and ubiquitous representative of the Morning News, was letting himself out a few'Unks on the piazza 'of the Stuart last night. Stone Is all right 1892 ot such crops as cotton, corn, 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. She Has Married. Married and Kft. That wa§ what her Irieuds and admirers, and the list includes every one who knew her, were told by the preacher. The state ment from any one elic would have been^received with derision, but when Dr. Adams said that he had officiated at the mkrriage of Miss Blanche Smithwick and Dr. D. F. Bickford, ol Atlanta, her friends could only reply, '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 ity. v Will her lnendi "forgive her? Yes, but Dr. Bickford must be a very good husband or many will not forgive him.—Americus Times-Recorder. Miss Smith wick formerly lived here and ts stilt remembered by many friends who will jrin us in wishing her 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. After this hot week of court hold 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 Cairo on Monday should have been received earlier. It c:ime to hand yesterday: “The heaviest rain fur many y ears fell here to-day. The heaviest about miles northeast of here,- doing con siderable damage, tearing up roads, washing away fencing and overflow ing hillside ditches.” 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. We learn that Messrs. J. L. Priu gle aud J. M. Blackshear captured an immense turtle, weighing three hundred aud fitly pounds, at St, Simons Wednesday night. They will bring the monster homo will them.
