The Weekly Times-Enterprise. THOMASVILLE GA.. Saturday, Jult 15, 1893. The crops, so we learn, are suffering bom too much raiu. Colton is rotting badly in some portions oi the county. rhomasvillc is the most promising town in South Georgia. Fear shippers should select and grade their fruit and - pack it nicely. They bring better prices when thus handled. The Thomas Ville Manufacturing Company have a large lot of first-class empty whiskey barrels for sale cheap.

The Govereor will probably ofler a reward for his cap ture- Spencer is one of the most desperate criminals ever in the couu- ty. Chairman Ilayes of the board of county c »mmis3ioners wrote a letter to Governor Northen yesterday, urging that a reward be offered at once for the arrest of Henry Spencer, colored, the man who killed another colored 1, Moses Green, recently. -Judge Hansel I enclosed in the letter of Chairman Hayes, a letter to the governor strongly endorsing the plea for a reward. It is likely that the governor will promptly offer a reward for the apprehension ot Spencer. CLOTHING, Midsummer Clothing, 1 -• v Straw Hats, Neckwear and kdenvear Notwithstanding the fact that the melon season is drawing to a close and prices ire away off there is yet a considerable number of cars shipped every day. W idoesday quite a number were shipped, ninety cars, while cn the same date last year eighty-two cars went forward. Up to and including July i2*-h, "1892, 5,663 cars were ship ped, and up to a corresponding date this year 3,195. The crop will probas bly reach 3500 cars this year. We recently called attention to the impression, and it is a very general on**, that two crops, of watermelons canuui be grown successively on the same land, and . expressed the hope that the matter would be investigated, and ii found true that some remedy be proposed. The State chemist, Dr. George F. Payne, has been investigas ting the subject, and here is what he says to a reporter of the Constitution: “This a subject upon which there appears to be some diversity of opin ion, yet the bulk of testimony is that watermelons do not do welt the second year on the tame land and are an absolute failure attempted a third year. As to the cause of this in so many instances there have been sev eral explanations advanced by intelli gent growers. It u positively assert** ed by a number of observing planters that it 00 melons are permitted to becay in the field, and.if every melon and vine is cleared from the field be fore rottiog occurs, another good crop can be raised the succeeding year, but if the melons, especially, are,. per mitted to decompose on the ground, not only will that land do badly the succeeding year, but if the drainage water overflows other land, n Jt previ ously planted in watermelons, this overflowed land will also make a most miserable crop if p'anted in melons. This appears in accord with' somewhat similar condition of affairs which sometimes exists in regard to fruits. It has been observed that if a few apples or pears are left upon the trees as too small or impelled to gath er, many of them become mumified and hang on upon the limbs until next season, when each specimen under the warm rays oi the sun makes itself felt as a magazine of the spores of rottenness and disease. Peach growers corsider it advantageous to permit no peaches to decay upen the ground, but to turn, in the hogs and let them clean up. A bel’et is eotenained by some that as most fertil’zers contain princi pally pnosphorc acid, ammonia, pot ash and lime it may be that the Geor- watermelon requires some other element in larg-s quantities which the fertilizers da ndt fur fish. These ap pear to be the leading explanations and only time wil^ develop if either correct. Answers can be secured to the questions by care ful and intel ligent experiments made in the field. The work of the state chemist is the analysis of the samples of fertilizers taken by the inspectors, yet it would certainly give me great pleasure to aid in every way in ray power any one who may desire to make practical tests oi the matter.” letter has been received from Mr. James Watt, who went to Edin burgh, Scotland, ft few weeks ago io response to r. telegram announcing that his brother was not expected to Mr. Watt writes that his brother is in a very critical condition and liable to die at any time.

In the case of Wade Cothran, con* yicted of the murder of John F. Wisenbakcr at last term of Lowndes superior court, Judge Hansell jyis granted a new trial to the defendant. It was known that the family conec- tion of Wisenbaker was very large and the judge at the trial required every juror to answer under oath if he was related, but even this preacu*. tion was not sufficient, one of the jury who tried Cothran was related and did not know it at the time, and under the law his ignorance oi the relationship did not make him competent juror, and these facts since appearing and admitted to be true, Judge Hansell was compelled to grant the new trial. Gone Crazy Again. Old man Reuben Pyles, of Cairo, was brought here Tuesday by some of the citizens of that place, who desired to have him placed in jail for safe keeping, as he has lost his mind again. Sheriff Doss would not ac cept him, however, as no legal steps had been taken by those who were anxious to have him taken care of. The law requires that an application for a writ of lunacy has to be made, and until this is done the Sheriff de clined to take him in charge. -Old man Reuben has always been of un* sound mind, and has been to the asylum several times. senger train on the S. F. & W. Ry., was made Wednesday night. This made the second attempt within the past week and has created no little uneasiness on the part of the railroad people. This second effort was made at the small trestle just in rear of Pine Sum mit, within the corporate limits of the town and not more than two hun dred yards from a number of resi dences. It is very evident from the similarity of the plans and mode of the would-be wrecker that the same parly made both attempts. The first attempt waa made at. the high trestle over the Mitchell mill pond„ branch. The lust is only a short distance this ride. As m the first case a cross-tie tfas placed in an upright position between the ties of the trestle in the centre of the track, the end sticking up some two or three feet. The trestle just at the bottom of a steep grade and the train, which was the night passenger lor Savannah, was of course going at-a lively rate of speed. The tie was not a very sound one and the force ot the lick given it by the rapidly moving train, smashed it into kindling wood and allowed the train to pats oyer unharmed. The engineer saw the obstruction that had been placed on the track, but it was im possiblo for him to stop until after he had passed over. An examination was then made winch disclosed the above facts. The engine struck-the tie a terrific blow, as the noise bould be heard distinctly by parties in the center of town. The railroad people and the police are at a loss as to who the would be wrecker is or bis motive in wanting to wreck the train and probably kill the people on it. It is a most diabolical piece of meanness and it is hoped that the fiend will be captured and severely punished. We trust the authorities will leave nothing undone to ferret out the scoundrel. If allowed to go on with his work there is no telling |What will be the results. His next effort may be more successful, iu which event there is certain to be much damage to property and probably great loss of life. Hunt him down. We noticed in Tuesday’s paper the killing oi Mose Green by Henry Spencer and also the fact that Sheriff Dos?, Deputy Singletary and Consta ble Kottman bad gone out to arrest the murdarer. .These officers were joined ever the river by several others, among whom were Messrs. Wm. Federick and Dink Sills, of Ochlockonee. The patty started out on their hunting expedition and daring the night the negro was located in a boosed The night was intensely dark and the nun was pouring down in torrents. A peep into the house through a crack revealed Spencer sitting in a chair with his Winchester rifle across his lap, and he could be heard talking, boasting o! what he would do with' the arresting party if they tried to take him. The sheriff decided that in view of the darkness it would per haps be best to wait until daylight before making the attack. One of the posse wanted to shoot the negro through the crack in the house, but the sheriff would not allow this. All the time the rain was earning down in torrents, and each one of the posse was drenched to the akin. This state of affairs soon wore out the patience of the sheriff, and he de termined to attack the house, tioning his men around the house he advanced to within twenty feet of the door and called to Spencer to surrend er, telling him that he had the house surrounded and would Jrill him if he didn’t. For reply the negro threw open the windowsshutter and opened fire on the sherii!.' The officer and posse returned the fire, which .was kept up until some twelve or fifteen shots were fired. The lights in the house were extinguished in the.mean time and the family occupying the house were screaming and begging the sheriff not to shoot them. Spencer could not escape through the door or window without exposing his person to the fire of the posse, and while the ■officers were deciding on the next mqve to make, he pulled up a plank in the floor and made his escape in the darkness. He passed within a short distance of one of the posse and fired two shots at him with a revol ver, but the officer and his compan ions could not see and thought it waa one of their crowd doing the shooting They did not know that the negro had made his escape until they heard him getting over a fence some dis tance away. Under the circum stances, in the darkness and rain, pursuit was both useless and danger ous and the posse returned to their homes. We learn that the negro did not leave the neighborhood and says that he does not intend to leave, but will kill the first officer that comes after him. He is reported as saying that he would kill Mr. Federicka last night, but those who know Bill Federicks also know that he is amply able to take care of himself. Sheriff Doss has not given up the hunt and hopes to yet capture the desperado. To do this, * however, he will doubtless have to kill him.

HIS VISIT TO ALBANY RE CALLED. That Nominated Ben Russell. Money Getting Easier. New York, July r 1.—At several of the larger banks it was said to-day that considerable amounts of currency had been received yesterday and again this morning. One large Broadway bank yesterday received $500,000 in' currency and gold from the country. Some of the gold was received back from Califor nia. The Fourth National Bank received $34,000 in currency yesterday from country correspondents, and to-day its receipts of currency by the first express delivery amounted to $185,000 with lot more in sight. As an indication of easier conditions prevailing it was reported to-day that many country banks were remitting currency here and getting back some ot their bills receivable, which they had rediscopoted here three or tour weeks ago,faking advantage of course ot the rebate in discount for the unex- plied time. At all the larger banks to-day it was said that the demands from cut of town customers for accommodation were lighter than they had been tor weeks.

Everybody who attended the mem orable democratic convention that nominated Hod. Ben E. Russell for Congress last summer will remember “Uncle” Reuben Files, of near Cairo, Thomas county, as one of the. most conspicuous characters present. He made lots of fan for. the boys. He made his first appearance in the hall, having just arrived oa a belated train that came in with a crowd from down the S. F. ft W. R’y, while Capt. W. M. Hammond was speaking to the assembled politicians on the night be‘ fore the convention met, _ The hall was packed, and Go). Hammond held the attention of every one. Just as the speaker was in the midst ot ope of his eloquent flights, and while the great crowd was as still and orderly as a church congregation, “Uncle” Reu ben entered and exclaimed— “Many faces do I see!" And, withont halting or even re moving his broad-brimmed sombrero, he marched np toward the stage. He worked his way up to the front and took a seat on the edge of the plat form. The next time “Uncle" Reuben opened his mouth it was when Capt Hammond had reached a paragraph in his great speech and had announced the subjet of the remarks next to fol low—something about the third party—and everybody in the hall heard these unctions words, as ‘Unde’ Reuben rose and waved his hand as it about to pronounce a benediction; Stand still and hear the salvation of the Lord.” And ever and anon, during the two day’s session ot the convention that followed, “Unde” Reuben would ex' claim at some critical point in the proceedings: “Stand still and hear the salvation of ot the Lord!” But poor “Uocle” Reuben has gone crazy. We feel sure that all the ‘boys’’ who were here at the conven tion and were made to laugh by his droll sayings and grnif mannerisms will be sorry to hear of his misfortune. Few, if any, who wers in that re markable convention will forget Reu ben Pyles and the many dramatic inci dents connected with the convention. Uucle Reuben finally, and with the air of a Roman Senator, took a seat beside the chairman of the convention on the stage. He sat there tit digni fied silence and watched the swaying, sweating masses, which completely packed the hall. The old man was a moss back ot moss backs. The light of intelligence, however, is gradually drifting away from him.
