We take the fallowing extract from
a communication to the News of yes*
terday written from Quitman, touching
the Connell case:
“Judge Hansell is strongly censured
for allowing a bond without having
inquired more fully into the merits of
the case. The people here are indig
nant that a man should ride across
half of a county, shoot down an inno
cent victim and terrorize men, women
and children aod then be released on
a paltry $1,000 bond.”
It is norgeneraHy known, perhaps,
that Judge Hansell is on: ot his circuit
spending some time up the coantry
if the circumstances surrounding the
killing are as alleged and had Judge
Hanaell been aware of the facts
they are raid to exist, no $1,000
bond would have been approved by
him.;
What Was Done Yesterday-
Programme for To-day.
The sessions of the Peabody Insti
tute were very interesting yesterday
and the attendance was very good.
There are bat a'few more days of
the Institute left and, we have no
doubt, the teachers will attend from
now on in Urgenumbers.
The Peabody Normal opened at
the Rfloal'!>oar,* Pm& 'Frederick in

suration. He made his lecture very
practical. . ^ ..
Prof. Lyn»s lectured on slavery
id will resume the subject on Mon-
'lay when he will give the Normal
Hch'vil method of teaching this part of
history.
The resolution offered by Col.
Lynej regarding ,the **Uuifiormity
Text Book question” now came up
for discussion. Prof. Moody seconded
the motion to pass the resolution and
made a very logical argument against
the uniformity measure. Prof. Lane
made a speech in favor of the resolu
tion of Col. Ijyn^s and made some
strong points- Capt. McLean made
an earnest speech against the adop
tion of the resolution and gave his
reasons why lie fav *red Slate Uni
formity of Text B Th? ques
tion was theu put and the Institute
voted ia favor of the resolution
against State Unit irmity of Text

The programme for to day is a very
interesting one and is a* follows:

several of his works or any interesting
story or fact in regard to him—time

Instruction overdone as illustrated
by Prof. Dane in his recital of old
Mother Hubbard.
TIIE COLORED ISfoTITUTE.
The colored department of the Pea
body Normal Inslituta assembled at
the regular hour yesterday morning.
Mr. J. R. Brown gave a very fair
description of the human frame. Prof.
Chas. Rice and Prof. R. R. Wright
gave some suggestions as to how best
to teach the human frame.
This was followed by a general dis
cussion as to the justice or injustice of
having a fixed standard by which to
grant teachers license.
Mrs. L. C. Lauoy than lectured on
how to interest children in reading.
The lecture was very instructive.
Prof. Char. Rice next talked
English grammar—kinds of adjectives
He handled his subject well.
Prof. J. N. Clay lectured on geog
raphy—pronunciations of geographic
cal names.
Prof. F. Snelson treated arithme^
tic—cubic measurement.
Prof. R. R.. Wright discussed his
tory—the end of the revolution.
After reading the minutes, the Ins
titute adjourned for the day.
The attendance yesterday was as
follows: 13 visitors, 19 teachers; total
32.—Daily T.-E. Aug. 5.
Died
We regret very much to chronicle
the death'bf Robert Thomas Lester,
son of Mrs. Annie Lester, which oc
curred at the home of the latter in
Fletcherville on Thursday about
noon.
Robert was about thirteen years of
age and a bnght and most promising
boy. He possessed a most lovable dis
position and was a general favorite
with playmates and in fact with all with
whom he came in contact; He was
sick but a few days before death laid
its icy hand upon his young brow.
The funeral took place yesterday
afternoon from the residence of Mr.
Robert E. Lester, Rev. Mr. Parker
conducting the services. Interment
immediately after in Laurel Hill
cemetery. . The bereaved mother,
brothers and sisters have the sympa
thy of all in their affliction.
Our farmers may raise all their own
meat and bread (and they certainly
ought to) but the country will never
prosper as long as we send our money
from home for all our fkrm imple
ments, furniture, clothing, shoe?, hats
and every other manufactured article
wo consume.—Cuthbert Liberal En
terprise.
That’s true as preaching.
There are fifteen colored lawyers in
Georgia. ;
In accordance with the programme
each teacher gage what he or she con
sidered the finest sentiment in prose
hr poetry, always naming the author,
several of his works or any interest
ing fact in regard to him.
Professor Moody gave quotations
from, Oliver Goldsmith. This author
ti^emed to bo the favorite, 'for he was
drawn on by Mrs. Head, Professors
Lane and Frederick.
Prof. Lynes sipped from the Pi* rian
Spring of Alexander Pope and showed
that ‘‘an h meat man’s the noblest
worl^ of God.”
Each was then requested to give
the best method of inculcating in the
common schools a love of literature.
Prof. Lane being professor of Eoglish
Language and Literature at the Tech
nological School was asked by Col.
Lynes to give the Institute his views.
He did, and was listened to with great
attention In the course of his re
marks he stated that he had read
Robinson Crutco about fifty times—
reads it every winter: Knew nothing
better than the Youth’s Companion.
Prof. Frederick followed with prac
tical suggestiouc os to checking the
perversity of “booksellers who think,
more of a dime for a dime novel than
of a child’s soul.”
E ich teacher was then called on
for a quotation from Shakspeare.
Many rcipouded, but it was reserved
to Prof. Moody to astouieh some in
the gallery by saying that ‘ whoever
stole his purse stole trash” They
could not agree with him.
The • Institute was now favored by
Prof. Lane with his laughable rendi
lion of “0:d Mother Hubbard,” using
it to show how teaching is sometimes
overjoue. On motion the Institute
adjourned until Monday.
TIIE COLORED INSTITUTE.
The colored department of the Pea
body Institute assembled at the regu
lar hour yesterday morning with 0
very good attendance of teachers acd
visitors.
After devotions, the subject, * Ia it
right tor a teacher to use tobacco?”
was very interestingly and ably dis
cussed, Lnd the general decision was
that teachers should not use tobacco.
Prof. F. Snelson then answered
several questions iu regard to the
school law, and a general discussion
was engaged in by the teachers.
Misi L C. Laney gave a very able
ta'k* on natural studies in the primary
grade.
Prof. Chas. Rice gave a general
talk on English grammar.
Prof. R. R. Wright discussed the
constitution of the United States.
The attendance yesterday number
ed eleven teachers aod twenty-four
visitors, and the meeting was of very
great interest.—Daily T.-E. Aug. 6.
Should be Killed.
Every summer for the past four or
five years some one has reported
seeing an enormous rattlesnake in
I aurel Hill cemetery, and it seems
that his snakeship is still doing busi
ness at the same old stand. Two
negro women claim to hive seen the
monster in the cemetery on Thursday
afternoon. They called a man who
who was not far away to kill it, but
when the man saw the reptile he con
cluded that the snake was a little too
large lor him to tackle and he backed
Sexton Burch was notified but
when he arrived the snike had disap
peared. He left a track behind him,
which could be traced some distance,
that measured six inches across. The
negroes who saw the snake were very
much excited, but they say that he
was the largest they ever saw. There
is no doubt but that there is a large
snake iu the cemetery. He has been
seen too often by different parties to
permit of any denying this fact, and
some steps should be taken to hunt
down and kill him before some one is
bitten. In the meantime it would be
well for parties visiting the cemetery
to avoid all underbrush and keep a
sharp lookout.

into the hands of genial George Lofel,
whom many Thomasvillians will
pleasantly remember. He is well and
fat and is quite willing to acknowledge
that he owes his life to Thomasville.
As the subject of the World’s Fair
has doubtless become- a chestnut to
most of your readers I will only say it
is a golden opportunity for those who
caonot or do not want to' cross the
ocean and travel to see the world in a
nut shell. Mote information concern
ing foreign nations,' their habits and
cu atoms, and ot our own glorious
country, can be gain :d in one week
than by months ot travel and many
times its cost. I could not put a
price upon my week in Chicago’ if it
could be soid. Notwithstanding this
high valuation upon one week, I must
confess a year would be too ahort a
time in which to see it all.

60,000 Cigars.
The M. Corces Cigar Company,
manufacturers of the famous Jeffer
son cigars, which are, by the way,
one of the best brands that are sold
in the United States, shipped yester
day 60,000 cigars to New York and
Baltimore. This factory has been
crowded with orders since it opened
op business, and is one of the few
factories in the. United States that
has not been forced to close down or
reduce f .rce daring .the summer
months. The Jeffereons have a big
reputation as first class cigars, and it
is no trouble to sell them. The peo
ple appreciate merit.
Everybody coughs or has coughed.
This is a very pretty town, however,
aud is neatly laid out with wide streets
and sidewalks, the Utter bordered with

To the east lies that open, rolling,

I’his.city nestles down among these
foot hills about six miles from the
foot of FJce’s Peak, which has the
greatest altitude of any peak in this
neighborhood, and whose summit is
ever tipped with ice and snow. It is
somewhat tautal zing to sit in my room
with the mercury perhaps at 103° and
behold the snow covered peak only
18 miles away by road and at an alti
tude of 14,147 feet. Hrwevtr, it u
consoling to know that the nights are
cool. I have not yet failed a single
night to cover with two tl tnkets, a
quilt and a sheet. This is th* rainy
season of the year and it comes down
every afternoon with the regularity of
a clock. Old settlers say it never
rains here in the m orning. This is no
joke, it does not rain in the morning.
It was ray pleasure to spend last
week m the Rockies on a camp hunt.
We went up Boar creek canon to
Lake Morrison, Seven Lakes and to
Pike’s Peak summ:t up the western
side. To hear and read of iheset
canons aud mountains is pleasing, but
to see them one’s self is surpassing in
delight We wind and twist about
the mountain side climbing higher and
higher as we follow the narrow way
which pursues the tortuous course of
a snake trail, and when seen in' the
distance above it resembles a mere
thread. The desire is intense to look
up and down at the ?ame time, up
at the dizzy height towering above,
and down at the thread like stream
bathing the rocks in its rugged bed
far down in the awful abyss which
gaps below us. Frequently the situ
ation is so treacherous that one miss
step would plunge one hundreds of
feet below and into certain death.
We camped two days at ‘Seven Lakes'
literally seven lakes beautiful over 13 -
000 feet above sea level, having clear,
cold water liberally supplied with full.
The dog fiih, a black fish with four
legs, is the most numerous.
Oo Friday, July 28, on horseback,
in company with Sam Walace.ef Phila
delphia, one of the four comprising
the hunting party, I rode to the sum
mit cf that lofty peak,-fiRt surmount
ed by the recently defunct Lieut. Pike,
for whom it isoamed. After three
hours of hard climbing from our camp,,
which was then about six miles from
tbe summit, we reached that point in
safety. Wedidnot feel the altitude
unless we exercised, except that res*
piration was an easy task and, like the
pulse, increased in, % frequency. The
morning was clear and bright, and I
do not believe a grander spectacle was
ever beheld by man. Eastward the
plains or desert lie bearing a striking
resemblance ^of old ocean, while

Connell Has Skipped.
John Connell, the mao who killed
a negro near Quitman last week, has
left for parts unknown, and the Sheriff
of Brooks county would give a good
deal to know bis whereabouts. Mr.
W. H. Mitchell, one of the parties
who went on ConueU’s bond,' after
finding out that the crime was more
sernus than was at first supposed,
went down to se Connell, about it. ’ It
was agreed between them that Con*
nell was to cone to Thomasville next
Thursday, whan the case would be
laid before Judge Hansell. While
engaged in making this arrangement
Sheriff Thrasher, of Brooks county,
drove up. Mr. Mitchell went out to
meet the Sheriff aud told him of the
arrangements he and Connell had en
tered into. This was not satisfactory
to the Sheriff. He said he most carry
Connell back with bim. -Alter talk
ing over the matter, the Sheriff agreed
that if Mr. Mitchell would surrender
Connell he would not disarm *himj
would allow a friend to accompany him
and would not put him in jail until
Judge Hausell could be heard from.
Mr. Mitchell agreed to this. Connell
was called out and he also agreed to
it He asked the Sheriff, however,
for permission to go back into the
house and change his dothing. The
Sheriff granted the request and Con*
nell went into the house. This is the
last seen of him. He is said to have
gone through the house, mounted his
horse and left for parts unknown.

THE COLORED INSTITUTE. .
. The colored Peabody, .Institute
opened yesterday morning at the regu
lar hoar.
The question of whether boys or
girls should have the best education
was discussed at some length. The
general sentiment was in favor of both
having an equal education.
Prof. S. A. Roddenberry was in
troduced and made a very able and
logical address. Among other things
he said that the colored teachers were
doing much toward solving the race
problem. In his opinion the educa
tion of the negro race was the only
solution. The' whites were ahead of
the negro in education, but it was
nothing to boast of, because they had
enjoyed superior advantages. If ed
ucation would better the white race
he saw no reason why it would not
do the same for the negro, since lie is
divinely endowed with the same facul
ties, mentally, morally and 'physical
ly. He also spoke in the highest
terms of the County Institute. He
hoped that the negro teachers were
doing all they could to make them a
success.
State School Commissioner Brad
well made a short talk to the teachers
which was highly appreciated and
much enjoyed by the teachers. At
the conclusion of Commissioner Brad-
well’s remarks the regular programme
was resumed and Mias L. C. L-iney
treated School ethics in a very *ut<r
eating way.
Prof. Chas. Rice ihoa lectured on
Eoglish Grain max—kinds of adjec

Prot. J. N.Ciay lectured on geogra
phy.
Pro!. F. Saelson gave a lecture on
arithmetic.
P^f. R. R. Wright gave a review

The session yesterday was one of
the most interesting since the insti
tute opened, there being an attend*

Many of our readers will be inter

Indianapolis, Ini>., Aug, 3.—The
supreme Bitting of the order of Iron
Hall has acted oa the report of the
committee on law. Several changes
were made iu the constitution of the
order. Tbe section governing the
meeting of the supreme sitting was
changed 'so as to make it imperative
that the sitting meet once every two
years. Under the old rule the sit—
ting did not meet unless the supreme
justice called it together. The su
preme justice still has power to call a
special meeting of the sitting at any
time. , y ■
A change was also aa^eiuthe
section governing the deposits of the
funds of the order. By the change
each district is to have a depositary.
The constitution was further
changed so as to place women on an
equal footing-with men in the order.
A resolution expressing confidence in
the present supreme officers of the
order was passed.
