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 the chair, Mrs. Head acting secretary Mrs. Head gave'a'practical lesson in elementary science as given to small children. * •* * * Prof. Moody gave test in 'parting iu which exercise the members of the Institute took part and seemed greatly interested. Prof. Lone lectured on the’ science and practice of teaching, also a talk on the hand aud the uses of the hand Prof. Frederick lectured on' men 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 Books. The programme for to day is a very interesting one and is a* follows: Each teacher gives what she coo lers to be tbe finest sentiment iu prose or poetry, naming the author, several of his works or any interesting story or fact in regard to him—time 2 min. - . Best method of iucub'-ating a love of literature iu common echoo’s. Each give a quotation from Shakes - peare 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. delightful week In Louisville, Ky., with our ex, but much loved pastor, Rev. Mr; Herbener. He accompa nied m^to Chicago' where another week was spent in real pleasure and edification. Immediately 'after Mr. Herbener left me4n Chicago I fell 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. From Chicago I passed through Illinois, Iowa, Eastera Nebraska, Kan- sas and far west as this city of coughs. ,H 0W we sh ,n succced we ^not 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.

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.

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. Bottoms on Top. The special excursion train from lhomasville arrived over the Bruns wick and Western yesterday after noon at 2:40, and brought 164 pas sengers, coming from Thomasville,’ Brinbridge, Valdosta, Camilla, and in fact every station along the lire. It was quite an interesting party, there being sixty young ladies along, and the society element of the island will be ih its glory for the next ten days. Tom Bottoms was in charge of the excursion, and made thing* pleasant for them. The steamer Pope Catlia awaited the delayed train, leaving her docks at 3 o’clock. exercises will be interesting. 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 tives. Prot. J. N.Ciay lectured on geogra phy. Pro!. F. Saelson gave a lecture on arithmetic. P^f. R. R. Wright gave a review of hi* lectures on history. The session yesterday was one of the most interesting since the insti tute opened, there being an attend* ance ot 48 —Drily T. E. Aug. 8. T-he Iron Halli Many of our readers will be inter ested in the following special: 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. The State Horticultural Society. Athens, Ga., Aug. 2d, 1893.
