Int rating Itmes Ptckd Up All Over th Country and Car- fully Prpared and S rv- d to Our Radri Now who will bring in the stcond bale of now cotton? Thomasville merchants intend to pay the top of the market for cotton this season. Thomasville geta the aecond new bale of cotton. Albany beat her a couple of days. . - ■ - Mr. W. B. McPhanl, ope of the lolid, prosperous men of Moultrie, was in the city yesterday. Thomasville cotton buyers are go ing to pa; top prices for cotton this season. Don’t forget this. Quite a number of colored school teachers who have been attending the Peabody Institute returned home yesterday. Thomasville merchants are making arrangements tor their tall trade. They will show splendid stocks oi goods this fall. Rev. J. 0. Branch, presiding elder oi this district, preached a deeply in teresting sermon in tho Methodist church on Sunday night. The Thomasville Base Ball club will go down to Quitman Wednesday, Auguit 9'.h, to play the boys of that place a match game of ball.' We understand that Metcalte had quite a severe blow on Thursday afternoon. Trees were blown down and s.veral houses damaged. Mr. John S. Montgomery and fam sly, who have been spending some days at the leading North Georgia resorts, returned Sunday night. Mr. Horrocks is pushing work on the new Baptist church. The place has already begun to look like the handsome edifice it will be when com pleted. It takes two pounds of cotton to bay ooe of meat, but that ii alright to the man who has plenty of the latter hanging up in his smoke house.— Quitman Free Press. We regret to learn that Mrs. J. S. Merrill was quite pamluUy hurt on Sunday by falling from a chair upon which she war standing in order to reach some articles on a shelf. Her many friends wish her a spccedy re covery. Miss Annie Davis left yesterday afteru<xm for .Savannah, where she will make her future home. She will hold the position ol book-keeper and stenographer with MV Ward More house in his new manufacturing es tablishment recently established there. Tickets to Chicago at the reduced rate ol S34 4gare limited to continuous passage to each direction, with extreme limit at fifteen days. The reduction -will not be ol much benefit to those visiting the World’s Fair on account of this limit. Nobody visits the fair without being gone over fifteen days. Mrs. Head gave a written spelling test to the teachers in the Peabody Institute yesterday morning. She gave out seme pretty tongh words to spell end only one teacher, Prof, Moody,was successful in spelling all of them. Prof. Moody is a bom speller. Mrs. Anna del Pino and daughter, Miss Adda dd Pino, arrived yester day from Key West, Fla., and will make Thomasville their home in fu ture. The former is the mother and the latter a sister of Messrs. Gasper, Ishmael and Lewis del Pino, who have been here some months. Ex Cadet Carlos Lynes, of tho South Georgia College, who ia now in Atlanta, has been invited by Gen. Clement A. Evans, President oi the Fulton County Veterans Association, to deliver an address before the next meeting of the Arsodation, which will be held on Monday night.- This is a high compliment to our jouug friend. We have no doubt but that he will acquit himself very credit ably- \ ~ To say that the lecture of Prof. Lane on “Conversation’’ at the court house on Friday night was enjoyed by the large crowd present ia putting it very mildly. The audience was not only large and appreciative, bat it was a highly cultured one is wdb He kept them in a roar of laughter from the time he commenced until he eloped. No lecturer was ever as weU received in Thomasville as Professor Lane has been. He will deliver one more lecture in Thomasville before he leaves and this is said to bo the best one in his repertoire. It will be de livered at the court house Monday night, the 7th' oi August. He is rare of another big house. A SHOOTING MATCH. A Desperado Attempts to Kill Mr.W. E. Culpepper. A asMStional shooting affair took place on Mr. W.E. Culpepper’s to bacco farm near Metcalfe yesterday morning between Mr. Culpepper and a negro outlaw, Goa Alexander, who tnakee hia headquarters on the Florida line and makes his raids in both states. Mr. Culpepper was on his usual rounds of the farm and passed one of his tobacoo barns and hearing some one inside hailed and asked who it was. The reply came that'it did not matter be (Mr. Culpepper) had better not come in,” bnt Mr. Colpepper, thinking he had rights to go any where on his premises, boldly opened the door and was welcomed with a shot from a trusty Smith & Wesson. Mr. Culpepper returned the fire, bnt it is supposed without effect and hav ing exhausted bis ammunition with out still finding ont who was the oc cupant of the bare, made the request that he stay there awhile aaying, ‘Til he hack presently,” to which the reply came: “Alright, I’U be here.” Mr. Culpepper hastily ran to his dwelling and picked up Ids rifle, retnreed to the scene ol conflict and made it this time too warm for his opponent: who escapedjfrom the rear doqr of the barn and made his flight and escape secure in a swamp near by. He was plucky to the last and tamed and fired till lost to sight in the bashes. Mr. Cul pepper secured several hands with guns and searched the swamp care fully, but without any effect np to last reports.—Daily T.-E. Jnly 30. Good Roads. Good roads have beta a.hobby with the Times-Enteri-rise for several years. Thomas couoty ought to have better roads. The land owners, the toilers, the men who work the farms, are entitled to theta. The great trouble has always been with the system of keeping np the public roads. Mayor Hopkios, as commissioner of this district, cafled for a meetiog of the overseers of the district at the court house yesterday to discuss the question. The meeting was well at tended by the overseen. Mr. E. L. Neal was mada chairman and Mr. J. R. Adams secretary. The question of how to best keep up the roads of the district was generally discussed. Almostjevery one favored the procure ment of a machine such as the town uses. This machine, ss has been abundantly demonstrated, will do the work of one hundred hands. Let a machine be put to work in this district and it will soon find its way into eveiy district in the county. The county could not make a better investment and we hope before another year to see one or more machines at work on the roads of the county. They would prove a wonderful saving of time and money and would insure smooth, well graded roads. The convention adjourned to meet on the 4th of August, when the ques tion will be taken up an$ further dis cussed. The gentleman who have taken hold of the matter of improving our public roads are in earnest, and they are men ot practical ideas. -We hope to see interest u the matter grow and extend until every district in the county shall be ronsed up to the im portance of the subject. The meeting on the 4th of August is a public one and every citizen invited to be present. Mr. John Montgomery, who spending some time in Rome, Ga., does not forget home people and Thomasville while absent. The Rome Tribune of the a6th quotes him as follows: “South Georgia wants North Geor gia to help elect a man from oar section of the stale,” .said he, “and that man should be, in my opinion, Hon. Robert G. Mitchell, ol Thomas ville. Everybody io the State knows him if from no other cause than his presidency of the senate. He is the right man for governor, and I want to see yon all come in and help us.” Mr. Montgomery also talked a good deal about bis charming dty. ‘We had the largest crowd of tour ists last winter that we have ever had,” said be, “and our dty grows more and more popular every year as a winter resort We are not backward in other ways, and are now HnUnested in thc huilding oi oar new dty where our tobacco works win be. This has become quite an enterprise with ns, and a great deal of tobacco is raised by the planters. The factories pay good price, and the fndftMty ; promises to help us wonderfully.” The fruit season has about closed out. What fruit ia now brought in oi a very inferior quality. Inquiries have already,been’ receiv ed here asking information about ac commodations for visitors this winter. Thomasville will be crowded the com ing season with northern tourists. THE FIRST BALE. From the Savannah Nows. Thomasville Received Her First Bale of Cotton Yesterday. The first bale of cottod of the crop oi 1893 was brought into town yester day by Messrs Dixon Brothers, who live in the lower portion oi the counv The bale weighed four hundred pounds and was sold to Mr. E. R. Pringle for 8 3-4 cents. It'was class ed as good middling. The Messrs Dixon have brought in the first bale far a number of years.. They" are the Primas Jones of Thomas county. The bale brought in yesterday was only two days behind the first bale jn Geor gia. Albaay received one 00 Wednes day, which was grown by Mr. H. J, Lamar. The cotton was shipped yesterday to Savannah, and will doubtless be the first bale received at that place, as we learn that the Albany bale went to New York.—Daily T.-E July *9- The Peabody Institute. The Inatitnta opened at 9:16 a. m. with Prof. Moody in the chair, Mrs. Head laid down the rules for spelling derivatives, and gave practi cal tests in orthography. Prof. Moody explained the niceties of the English language, as shown on the distinctions drawn from the use of the “Tenses, Persons and Numbers of Verbs.” Prof. Lane, in attractive style, showed how to develop the idea of mountains,” with their various ac companiments of all. that is grand and sublime in nature. Prof. Lynes gave a continuation of his lecture upon the “Revolutionary Period,” showing in black-board form all the notable event*, which go to make up so many important elements of the world’s history. Prof. Frederick called for eolations of the examples in percentage given to the teachers yesterday. Prof. Moody handed in solutions which were accepted. The professor ex plained the solution npon the board. As usual, the “Question Box” was the source of much interest and amuse ment. , , Ail the teachers are requested to repeat quotations from their favorite American authors to-morrow. THE COLORED INSTITUTE. . The colored department of the Peabody Institute met at the regular time for assembling. After devotions an interesting exercise in giving an swers to queries was engaged in. Then Miss L. C. Ifmey treated the subject ot spelling very ably, and. Prof. Chas. Rice treated English grammar—kinds of sentences, and gave a short exercise in analysis. Prof. Chas, Lane then lectured on the subject of Geography in a very interesting and instructive way. Prof. Rice lead in calisthenics. Prof. F. Snelson treated arithmetic and Prof. R It, Wright treated histo ry, reviewing previous lectures. A Prominent Young'North Car olinian. Bi'il Nye, the great humorist, in bis last letter thus refers to a young gentleman known to many of oar readers: Kope Elias was the man who made the arrangement with the Richmond and Danville railroad. You will find no nice freeh lawn growing under the feet of Kope Elias. The appointment and administra tion of Kope Elias as internal revenue collector of this district is giving more and more satisfaction. He has 450 agents under him, all of whom are perfect gentlemen. The internal revenue affairs here have never been so genial in North Caroli na as at the present time. Such men as flezekiah Gndger agree with this sentiment. It has always been a very difficult matter to attend to revenue affairs here without making personal enemies, but at the present time all is harmony. Kope Elias is the most harmonious man that the president could have named. He is one of our subscribers and knows that we will send back the little willow tank as soon as we are through with. it. A few more harmonious appointments would please ns at any time. Shoal, Kope. Shoal just once more for the seegars. THE CROP LARGER THAN LAST YEAR. The Shipments From Southwest Georgia Not Expected to Reach 3,600 Carloads - Only Four or Five Cars a Day Being Shipped Now and Thousands of Melons Rotting In the Fields. A Poor Game. The Thomasville base ball club went all the way np to Colquitt coun ty Thursday to play a game of base balk When they left here they thought they could play balL They don’t think so now. They played with the Little River boys, the-dab that defeated them here a - few weeks ego. At the end of the ninth inning the score was twenty to sla in favor of Little River. The Thomasville team crawled into the<r wagons and silently drove home. The team was composed of the following: Horaco Bouchelle, W. D. Barbee, Chas. Fittmanr-Ardls McBougald/Jim Pittman, Will Does, T. H. Parker, Britten and Jim Hurst Assistant Superintendent. A. A. Aveilhe, of the Savannah, Florida and Western railway, has returned from Thdmasville, where he has been since Jane 12 with a corps of train dis patchers attending to the shipping of .the watermelon crop ot southwest Georgia. He reports a large crop with fair retains to the growers. Thecrop this year was a little luger-than last year. The season be gan about ten days later, and though the melons went forward rapidly, the growers lost the profits they might have made on the higher prices rul ing during the middle of June, Prices have dropped now until the melons are left rotting in the field be cause the returns would not pay the freight, let alone making a profit for the shipper. Melons can he bought now at a car loaded on the side tracks at the stations. Supt. Aveilhe says that there are folly 500 car loads of melons rotting in the field in South west Georgia alone. Only a lew car loads are moving now. The Carolina and North Georgia melons have been on the market for some time, and as they are able to reach tho markets at less cost than tho South Georgia melons they, el coarse, command the situation, TIIE OATES THIS TEAK. The average rates for melons by the car load from Thomasville this sea son have been as follows: To New York via the Ocean Steamship Co., 888; to New York via the Atlantic Coast Line 3113.53; to Cincinnati 575.84 and St. Louis 890.24. Melons most bring a good price to pay these freights and net a profit to the growet. On account of tho difference in rates the balk oi the crop this year went to western points- Another reason for this was that the Pennsylvania Rail road and the Ocean Steamship Com pany, the two main routes to north ern points, demanded prepayment of freights earlier in the season than heretofore. On the iinee that did not demand prepayment melons were frequently sold to pay freight. In these cases the railroads over which the melons had passed pro-rated the returns amoDg themselves and the shipper suffered the loss of his melons. This is always one oi the possibilities in the melon business, however, as consignees frequently refuse to receive the melons when the market is glut ted. The total shipments to date via the Savannah, Florida and Western railway are 3,535 cars, as against a total of 3,447 cars for the whole of lost season. WILL SOT REACH 3,600 CARS The total ior the whole season is net expected to reach 3,600 cars, only four or five cars a day being moved now. These melons have been ship ped all over the United States and Canada, shipments having been made to 184 different points. The total number ol cars shipped to Canada was 46, Toronto taking 18 cars, Mon treal 9 and Hamilton 7. The prin cipal points to which melons were shipped and the number of cars re ceived by them arc as follows: New York 447.Chicago 247, Cincinnati 273 Boston 159, Philadelphia 100,' Balti more 123, St. Louts 102 and Min neapolis 419. The fat western states were about the only ones which did not indulge in Georgia watermelons this year. Supt. Aveilhe does not tbiuk the melon acreage will he increased next year, as he considers the present acreage sufficient to supply all de mands of the market. The chief trouble with the watei-t melon business,’ said Mr. Aveilhe, ' is the lack of any system of distribution. The melon growers have no exchange and no means of regulating the ship- monte. The consequence is that good markets are frequently glutted with a resulting loss to everybody concerned, shippers, railroads and. broken. A glut at one important point injures the market at other places and makes it difficult to maintain prices. The melon growers had an exebtutge at Macon two years ago which worked very well as long as it lusted, hat it went to pieces before the end of the season for some cause. THE EXCHANGE A GOOD THING. “The Florida fruit exchange at Jacksonville has been of immense ad vantage to the fruit growers of . that state and the Georgia melon growers are very much in need of something of the same kind. It wonld .be a good idea for the melon growers to arrange with the Western Union Telegraph Company to tarnish them daily reports of the melon movement -and the receipts at -the ‘ larger markets. They could then regulate their ship ments so as to avoid shipping to points already well supplied.” _ It would bo well for the melon growers if they were to adopt this sug gestion. Superintendent Aveilhe’s es timate of the melon crop ot the state this year is between 8,000 and 9,000 cars. At a fair estimate the sales re turned to the growers about 8500,000. The railroads of the state received as much more, so that the melon crop of Georgia brought into the state in the neighborhood of 81,000,000 daring months of June, July and'August This is quite an important conridcras tion, as the business comes in the doll- eat part of the year. Supt Aveilhe saya that the farmers of South Georgia are in better condi tion than he has ever known them to be. They have good corn crape and are raising their own meat Money is not very plentiful, but the" farmers are independent and consequently the present financial stringency is not the bog’oear that it is to'the city peo ple. Peabody Institute. The Institute resumed its session on Monday. ' Commissioner Bradwell having returned, presided, .and Mrs. Head was requested to act as secre tary. The first lecture was made by Mrs. Head, who by black-board drawings and logical reasoning demonstrated the utility of fable and Btory telling for a primary grade. Prof. Moody lectured in an interest ing manner on the subject of Auxili ary Verbs. Prof. Lane took up the subject of Definition as being veiy difficult to teach so as to get a correct idea of the thing itself. He illustrated by terms in Geography, Prof. Frederick in very e'ear and interesting style elucidated the ap parent mystery of the Greatest Com mon Divison and Least Common Multiple. Prof. Lynes lectured on best method of teaching clear perception and con ception of the leading events of presi dential administrations. By black board outlines and diagrams his methods are made practical and interesting. After the discussion of the contents of the Quiz Box, Btate School Com missioner Bradwell stated that he brought greetings from the Marietta Peabody Institute. In an interesting and encouraging manner he told of the work being done there. THE COLORED INSTITUTE. The colored department of the Pea body Institute assembled yesterday morning at 9 o’clock. After devotions the question of corporal punishment was discussed, and many interesting points were brought out iu connection with it. Miss L. C. Lauey then discussed in a very able and interesting manner the subject of reading, and how to teach emphasis. Prof. Chas. Rice treated grammar, enlarging on the principal and sub ordinate elements of a sentence. State School Commisoner Bradwell spoke at some lengthjabout grammar and Prof. Moody also made a few re marks on the same subjeot. After recess Prof. Chas. Rrice lead in a short exercise in calisthenics. Prof. Clay treated the subject oi geography and Prof. Snelson arithme- '!. Beth made good talks. Alter the above programme had been gone through with the institute adjourned for the day. Has Come to Georgia. Mr. J. Frank McCormick, who has been connected with the Soule Steam Feed Works oi this city lor the past twelve monttiB, has severed his con. nection with that firm, leaves this morning for Thomasville, Ga., near which place ho has purchased a half inteicst in a saw and planing mill, from Mr. J.

Mr. McCor mick is an old newspaper boy, having tro-kedbn Tho News from its organ ization until about three years ago. We heartily commend him to the citizens of Thomasville, and wiab for him success in abundance.—Meridian (Miss.) Daily News. Mr, McCormick paid this office a pleasant visit yesterday. He is a gentleman of pleasing address and manners and will no doubt soon make a host of friends in the win grass. He will be located at Ochlock- onee, where he will take charge of a large mill at that point. We cordi ally commend the young Missfrtippian to onr friends over there. ; They will find him all right.

See us before placing your order. A Resume of the Exercises Yes terday. , Yesterday closed the second week oi the-Peabody Normal Restitute in Thomasville, and it ia to be regretted that the attendance Fas not been lar ger. Daring the first week there was a very huge attendance, bnt the week just psssed it has-been very light.' It does look like the teachers oi Thom as county at least would take enough interest in their work to endeavor to better prepare themselves as teachers by taking advantage of the splendid opportunities offered by the Peabody Institute. It is thought and hoped that the attendance this week will be larger. The Institute opened at 9:15 a. m. with Prof. Frederick in the chair, Mrs. Head gave the teachers an interesting exercise in pronunciation, about 50 difficult words having been written upon the board. Prof. Moody elucidated the proper use of participles and the correct ar rangements of phrases. Prof. Lane set forth the normal method of presenting the idea of lakes to the child’s mind. Prof. Frederick lectured on the Properties and Relation of Numbers. Prof. Lynes lectured on the Con stitutional Period, especiallyjthat part embraced by the administration of George Washington. After discussion of the contents of the query box the Institute adjourned until to-morrow morning at 9 o’clock. Young Female College. Prof. Baker has succeeded iu se curing as his assistant Mrs.Genevieve W. Spinner. Mrs. Spinner ia a Virginian by birth and education. She furnishes the the highest testimonials from ministers of the Gospel, Presidents of Colleges and from patrons wherever she has taught, of her competency to teach any grade ot mathematics, the Sci ences, French, Elocution, Delsarte and Physical Culture, also English Literature, She makes a specialty of Elocution. That her public recita tions have evinced dramatic talent of the highest order we give the follow ing extract from one oi the numerous testimonials: “Mrs. Spinner’s rendi tion of Ben Hur was applauded by the most cultured people as a brilliant piece ot histrionic art.’’ Aa a disciplinarian we give the fol lowing:- “By kinduess and gentleness duly mingled with firmness and lady like dignity of manners, Mra. Spinner maintains order in the class-room, and secures diligence on the part of the pupils. I reccommend her as a faith ful, competent teacher, and a lady of culture and pleasiDg manners.” They’ll hardly call the next new town in South Carolina “Dispensaiy.” Gold is flowing back to this country from Europe.

This is ont failure which would not affect the country. It seems that the police of Atlanta have fallen into a handy way of dab bing cdizens. An indignation meeting has b.-cn held protesting against such brutality. There is a great deal being said jnst now aboutjDr. Amick’s cure for con sumption. It would seem that at last some sort of a remedy has been discovered. The Irish element appeared to be on top in the free fight which took place the other night in the British, parliament.

Seme fortuae hunter is on her track. The Convention of Judges. Tho Atlanta Constitution thus re- fers’to Judge Hausell in connection with a review of the probable work to be done by the convention of Judges which met in Atlanta yesterday: '’Judge Hansel!, of the Southern dreuit, who issues the call for the convention and who will call the meeting to order, is strongly in favor ot a modification of the rules. As many of the rules oi court,” says Judge Hanse'l, “have either been adopted as part of the statute law or become obsolete on account of changes of the law, especially the rules in equity, I consider a revision at this time as quite necessary. “It is probable when the judges get together they will consult with each other as to various matters of practice which differ in some of the circuits and which ought to be uniform, They may also enter into the subject of dminal laws. Under the law it is their duty to make suggestions to the governor as to such changes as they find desirable in the criminal law, but the judges have been loath to make such suggestions individually. They may as a - body, however, feel less hesitation in ao doing. Not haying had the opportunity for consultation in these matters, I can only give my own opinion aa to what action they may take, and that may depend greatly upon the judges in attendance. Many of them are taking their much needed summer vacation and my not find it conveni ent to attend. I hope a good major ity will be present,” Referring to the change ot the name of “Jug Tavern,” an exchange says. “Yon may break, yoa may shatter Ute jug if yon will, The scent of the bug-juice will hang round it still.”- ; * .
