The Ordinaries’ Meeting.
The convention of the ordinaries of
the state which will be held in At
lanta July 12 wiU be a notable one In
many reflects and the ^personnel of
the convention, aside ftom its objects
and aims K will be an interesting one.
Under the code ot Georgia, and in
nearly aU of the states of the union,
the ordinary is clothed with veiy
great power, and by reason ot bis
official poeition, is one ot tho most
prominent men in the county. He
must be a man of ability and charact
er, and moreover, conversant with all
the attain of the county. He is en
trusted by the law with the custody
and execution ot papers which de
mand a peculiar talent and hence
when an ordinary has shown himself
to be. the right man he is usuaUy al
lowed to retain the office for quite a
number of years; an example of which
is the present encumbent of Chatham
oounty, J udge Hampton L. Ferrill.
Most of the ordinaries have their
offices well regulated, and whenever
an application is made to them they
can refer to the files without the least
difficulty. In some of the counties,
however, iu the southern or wiregrass
portion of the state, it is said there is
a painful lack ot system ou the part
of mauy of the officials, aud much
complaint and trouble baa been the
result.
A particular object ol the conven
tion which will be held iu Atlanta
next week, is to establish a uniformity,
as far as possible, iu the management
of the court ol ordinary throughout
the state, and to consider other mat
ters of importance connected with
the position.
The convention wuf probably be iu
session lor nvo or three days.—News.

MOSE GREEN DEAD.
The Negro Shot by Henry Spen
cer Died Sunday,
Mose Green, colored, who waa shot
by his brother-ip-law, Henry Spencer,
several days ago, in (be upper part of
the county, died last Sunday.
The circumstances surrounding the
shooting of Green dates some time
back. Green’s wife is Spencer’q sis
ter, and they have a daughter about
grown. Some weeks ago Green
accused Spencer of being too intimate
with this daughter, whereupon the
Utter became very wrathy and made
some threats which frightened Green
eo badly that he came to town and
swore out a peace warrant before
Justice Martin.
The* officers went out to arrest
Spence on the 28 tK of last month, bnt
failed to find him. The same flight
Spencer went to Green’s house and
shot him in the head with a Win
chester rifle. Th6 wound was a very
dangerous one, but Green got along
very well until Sunday, when'he was
taken suddenly worse aud died.
Since the shooting Spencer has kept
out of the way, but it ie said never
left the neighborhood.
Sheriff Dose, Deputy She* iff Sia-
;ietary and Constable Kottrr.au went
out yeslerdny after him, but up to our
hour lor going to- press they bad not
returned.
Spencer is a very bail and danger-
ur negro, aud tho officers went armed
with Winchesters, prepaid to bring
him back at ail hazards if he could «*e
found. He has been in many ugly
fights and is considered thoroughly
desperate.

Notes From Over the River.
Editor Times-Enterprise:
According to previous arrangements
the children and graodchidren of Mr.
T. C. Benton gave him a birth-day
dinner on the river on the 30th of
June. All of his children was present
but two, one being sick and the other
could cot reach the place. Nine
children and fifteen grand children
were present besides their wives and
husbandi, and a liost of frienda. At
half past twelve the announcement
was made that dinner was ready and
a better dinner was never set before a
king. It is needless to say that all
did justice to the elegant repost. Mr.
Benton was born in this, couo'y two
miles northvof Thomasvilie on the
30th of Jane, 1834. and has resided
in the county ever since, with the ex
ception jol three years in Liberty
county and the time he spent in the
war. He went into the confederate
army in 1861 and served through the
whole war. He was a prisoner i 1
months in Camp Douglas, Chicago.
He was a member of company C.,29th
Ga., volunteers.
This neighborhood has been terror
ized by an outlaw recently. -Off June
the 26th Mose Green, colored, was
shot in the head with a 44 Winchester
rifie said to be in the hands of one
Henry Spencer, also colored. The
neighborhood would be glad if the
officers would capture him as he is a
dangerous character.

Everyone can aid the authorities
in keeping the town in a good sani
tary condition by thoroughly e’eaning
up their own premises. A clean
town is very tssential at this time of
the year.
Sometimes the New' York, mail
reaches here at 6:30 p. m„ the second
day, sometimes at 6:30 a. m. and
occasionally at 1 p. m. the third day
after leaving New York. Why is
this thuely?
What’s the matter with the Thom
asvilie boys making another date for
a gan e with the Little River Club?
It would draw a big crowd. The
Little River boys play good u straight,
honest ball, and do not indulge in
any suptnfluous kicking.
Notwithstanding the depressed
financial condition of the country and
the fact that the cigar and tobacco
business is always dull at this season
of the year, the cigars manufactured
in Thomasvilie find a ready sale, and
all our factories are running on full
time and with fuil forces.
An Amuiing Game,
game of ba*e bail played on
the grounds back of Paradise Park
Friday afternoon vw one of the
most amusing and thoroughly en
joyable ones that. has bceu played
here this seasoD. The game itself, so
lar as the playing is concerned, was a
very poor one, as the score will show,
but it was as full of ridictl jus plays,
blunders and sayings as an egg is of
meet. The game was between the
Little River Club, of Cjlqufit county,
and a scrub nine composed of town
boys. The score stood, at the end of
the ninth inning, 32 to 24 in favor of
Colquitt county.
The following will show the names
of those who took part in the playing:

Mr. Morehouse’s reason for going to
Savannah and establishing a busi

support here—the factory here has
paid handsomely since the first day
it was opened—but is due to the
superior freight rates enjoyed by that
city. Mr. Waite and Mias Davis will

TRIED TO WRECK IT. *
A Passenger Train Ha* A Nar
The night pasaenger tain leaving
here for Savannah at 7:25 ererj day
had a very narrow escape from being
wrecked on. Friday night beforo it
got outside of the efyltaita. At the
train approaehed the culvert over the
Mitchell mdr pond bunch' E
Radford notified that imm *
tions had been placed on (he trade at
the culvert. He reversed Hi eaglae
and applied the Mr brakes, bat it i( a
long down grade aad the. traia was
going too fast and coaid not be
stopped. When the engine drew
nearer the engineer saw whal it west
and hia heart jumped into hit month,
as he expected the whole train wooid
be thrown down the atesp tmbuk-
ment and dashed to piaoea. Two
cross-ties had been placed in an ep*
right position between the tiea of the
trestle by some murderous mhereeat,
who had hoped doubtless to thos
wreck the train. The engine struck
the ties aud tho whole train passed
over the trestle before it was brought
to a stand-still, When the engineer
went back to see what had been done
ho found tho two upright ties broken
and split into kindling wood, and
several oi the large timber! of the
treatle broken in- two. The timbers
were very rotten, which proved the
salvation of the train. If they had
been solid, there is no telling wind the
result would have been. The-rail*
road people have no idea who could
have pieced the ties on the track.
From now on Thomasvilie should
be kept iu as clean condition as pos*

doing ail they can to put the town in
thoroughly good sanitary condition ?
They should take no chances. The

cost.
Does any one know of a vacancy ic
an ice house; or an opening in any
expedition to the North pole? All
communications will be regarded as
cocfideorial and thankfully received.
Why, "Under such unsettled con ii
tions, are wc getting along as well as
we are? What influence is holding
things together aud causing ail factions
to wait with confidence the fiual set
tlement ol the trouble? It iy the faith
of the people in President Cleveland.
If a weak, vacillating man were in the
chair in whom the people did not have
faith there would have been by this
time instead of stringency and occa
sional failures here and there the wild
est state of panic this country ' ever
saw. It is the faith of the people
in the man at the helm that has ena

Pilcock’i Finances.
Somxktille, N. J„' July 7.—Ow
ing to the financial troubles of ex»
Congressman J. Nelson Pidcock, who
if a huge stockholder and director in
the Bomeraat County Bonk, that ins
titution will close its doors to-morrow
amning. The Commissioners up
on receiving a statement of the honk
officials to-day applied to the Chan
cellor for a rule to show cause why a
receiver should not be appointed.
The ground npoawbioh the rale wee
asked was that the beak held a good
deal ef Pldeetk’e paper, aad 'it was
of Mohan uncertain character that
it would be beet to have the bank go
into the hands of a receiver.
Ilia arid by outride parties hero
bo profess to know that tho bank
ddi paper of i. X. Pidcock to the
■oust of 180,000, From the same
need comes the information that the
bank held paper of the members of
the board of directors alone to the ex
tent of *187,000. This is largely se
cured.
Hr. Pidoock has invested largely in
the milling bnrineas in this section,
and in the construction of theB. &

to learn of his reported financial
trouble*.

Referring to a recent test of fast time,
the Journal says:
The rapid development ot the trot,
ter in the but decade has led many
persons to believe that a two-minute
mile was near at hand.
The performance of Ayers P. last
Tuesday on the Kirkwood, Delaware,
kite-shaped track will strengthen this'
belief
The horse, accompanied by a run
ning mate, and drawing a bicycle
sulky, covered a full mile iu 2:03 1-2.
This is faster than any other trotter
ever went, but those who saw the trial
are confident that with a better tun
ning mate the record would have been
still further lowered. Ayers P. will
be given another trial soon, and is
expected to clip off one or two more
seconds, rhe trotter has not yet
reached his full development.
Speaking of the action of the com-
minion in raising rates, the News
•aya: “The action of tho Georgia
railroad commission in raising the
rates in certain classes of freights wiU
bo of great help to the railroads. AU
the road* doing business in tho state
complained that the rates were too
low. Hr. Comer, receiver for the
Central, led in the demand for relief,
the justice ot which demand the com-
minion has admitted."
