THE CONNELL CASE.
the bond was taken. There is no
doobt if public opinion had not forced
Sheriff Thrasher to' interfere, Mr.
Connell would hsve been before
Judge Hansell in person on .next p e »boby Institute,
rnosiAsviLI.E,Gsj Ang. 7th, ’93.
There bis been a great deal written
and said about the bond of tfokn Con
nell, who lately killed'a negro in
Brooks county, Ga.
I wish to relieve Judge Hansell and
assume all the responsibility. If any
wrong has been done I did it If
there is any indignation, it ought to
be against me. I bare known.Con
nell since his - childhood. Ho 1 bar
worked for some of our family nearly
all his life. He is a poor man; bnt
my friend. No man lives'who is
more loyal or trustworthy. He has
only one bolt * -He occasionally
drinks and when he does he is abso
lutely crazy. At the time the negro
was billed be was acting as a deputy
sheriff for Thomas county and hunt
ing for a desperate negro, named
Plummer, who had killed several
parties. The negro bad threatened to
assassinate him.- He had been warned.
He came to Thotnaaville and to'd Mr
Mttobel! and myself that he bad been
attacked by negrtes about eleven
o’clock at night and had killed two of
them. He gave himself np to Sheriff
Doss of Thomas county, We and a
great majority of our people here be
lieved him,- as be-was regarded as
perfectly truthful I still think'
that he thought Qia tale he told waa
true. His wile, we both knew, had a
child about a week old and was in a
ry critical condition, and we both
tiered that if he were cent to jail
be wuuM die. Wo wired Judge
Hanse'l that Connell ■ bad been at
tacked by negroes at nigljt and had
killed two. and had given himself np
and asked that be fix a bond. He
answered that if he bad killed them
as we said a thousand dollar bond
would be sufficient. The bond wss
taken. The next day 1 heard that
the prosecution claimed Co’ cell's tale
was not true. 1 immediately inves
tigated, and uu the following day
wired Judge Haree'l the case wss
much worse than tve had wired him
and to increase the bnud. He wired
back that, under the circumstances,
he could not allow b ind without a
bearing. Before the bond was taken
Mr. Connell had promised Mr. Mitch,
ell and me to deliver himself up
whenever we asked him to so do, and
his intention was so to do immediately
upon Judge Hansell’s arrival. I
asked Hr. Mitchell, as anon as I wired
Judge Hausell aseond time, before
received his answer (which waa ou-
Satorday evening, it taking conaider-
able rime to get a telegram to and
from Indian ’Springs), to go down to
Mr. Connell's and see that he oomea
up on Mtoday morning and delivers
himself up. Ia the meantime, rite
Sherifi of llroolta couoty came np, I
think on the day after the bond had
been taken, and said that the people
of Quitman were very indignant bes
cause Connell had been let oat on
bond. He said that he had two other
warrants io his possessioo against Cop
nell. One for carrying concealed
weapons and the other for pointing a
pistol at another. I told him that he
had a perfect right to take him on
either of the said warrants, and to go
and take him.’ I think Cept. Doss,
Sheriff of Thomas county, told him
about the same thing. The under,
standing when Mr. Mitchell left on
Saturday to go tn Mr. Connell’s waa
that Connell was to come to Thomas,
ville on Monday, if be conld possibly
leave bis wile, and deliver him
self up. Mr. Mitchell weot down on
Saturday, and after seeing how criti
cally ill his wife was. made arrange
ments with Mr. Connell to deliver
himself up in Thomssville on tbe
fo’.luwiog Thursday. I understand
from him, that several hours after
wards Mr. Thrasher, Sherifi of Brooks
county, came and said that the peo
plo of Quitman would not.be satisfied
with any such arrangements, and that
they would not bs satisfied unless
Connell went back with him to Quit-
man under arrest. Mr. Mitchell
prevailed upon Mr. Connell to deliver
himself up, and, aa bis bondsman,
delivered him to the Sheriff of Brooks
county. Mr. Connell went into the
house by permission of the Sheriff to
change his clothes and has not been
seen since, either by the Sheriff or
Mr. Mitchell.
I want to say this, that the rela
tionship existing be. ween Mr. Con
nell and myself has been and ia very
close; that I know his wife to be one
of the best women in the world. I
know farther that the ia frail and
delicate and very susceptible to
troubles.
I know that she was in a vary e** 1 '
ical condition. I acted from friend
ship and humanity, I wired what I
thought was true to Judge Hansel!;
he acted upon it and if it bad been
tree his action would have been emi-
nentlyp roper. It is claimed that
vnu mistaken aa to the facta. .Aa
soon aa I found out the proaecution's
side I consulted with Sheriff Doas, of
Thomas .county, and wired Judge
Hansell theotategLagairsas claimed
to bo tree by the Sheriff of Brooka
county. I took -the. , „
get Sherifi Doss, himself, io send the
I imml tngements
to have 1 r himse’f
op, so 1 be in the
same com
Thursday.
I want to suggest another thing.
Sheriff Thresher infwmed both the
Sheriff of Thomas county and me
that he bad two'additional warrants
for Mr. Connell. If be or any other
parties in Brooks county so desired
they could have gone tq Mr. Connell’s
home and arrested him, I know one
thing, that Judge Hansell has done
nothing that un upright and careful
Judge would not’, have done. I
willing to admit that I acted hastily
in my fitstTeiegraiq. Isay now, aa
I arid in the beginning, if there da
any fault it has been Committed by
tne, and not by the Judge. I am
unwilling for aayhojy to be hfatmed
for any mistakee of mine if n mistake
was committed. I am wUltug to bear
all the censure in this matter.

The sessions ot the Peabody Nor
mal Idatitnie waa closed in a vary
happy manner yesterday at 12 o’clock
by State School Commissioner Brad
well. There was quite a huge at
tendance to hear the last words of a
corps of instructors who in the con
scientious discharge of their dntiea
hare won.golden opinions at the
hands of all who hare attended the
Institute. There wss no regular
programme carried' out yetferdaj,

farewell talks by the faculty and the

The Largest of the Season.
’ The liugestl LeGonts pear we have
ever seen was placed on oar desk yes.
terday by Mr. P. L. CraignaDes. It
waa grown on his plaoe near town
and was picked from the tree by one
of his little boys. The pear is perfect
ly shaped and weighs 20 ounces even.
This is probably the hugest pear ever
grown in tbe county. We do not
remember of having seen one as buge
before.
Mr. J. L. Warren, of Savannah,
waa registered at the Stuart Thursday
Everybody in Georgia knows “Jo"
Warren. He is, in the highest sense,
one of nature’s noblemen. Ha has,
for long years, been one of the leads
ing business men of Savannah, and
no man in the state standi higher in
the estimation of the public. Few
men in Georgia have n more-exten
sive acquaintance and none more de
voted friends. Thomasville is always
glad to entertain Mr. Warren. If he
doesn’t see what he wants he win
please call for it.
Oae of the brightest papers of the
State Agricultural Society, **A plea
for the farmer’s blend,” was read by
Mr. B. D. Lumsden, of Macon.
He announced that the fanner's
friend he spoke ot was old Kit mule.
He said that Job had 300 she asses,
and he had often thought that if he
bad co Mended with niggers and mules,
he never would have stood the test.
G.-orge Washington was the first
man in this country to raise mutes, and
hence he may be considered the
founder of the mule.
He said it was impossible to run a
mule over a precipice, and if old
Israel Putnam had been riding a male
he never would have dashed down
those stone steps, and his name never
would have been handed down to ns
as a fearless rider.
Mules, like some men, are born
kickers. Mules, it taken m time, can
s broken of the hab.t, but a kicking
man was never known to be cored.
He then spoke oi the mule ai n basis
ot credit in Georgia, aid ended by
making a plea for the farmers to take
better ctre of their moles.
Another Fire.
It isn't often that Thomasville has
two fires in the same night, but Mon
day night was an exception to tbe role.
The first fire ocean ed about 8 o’clock
and destroyed the house of Sam
Young, colored, an account of which
appeared in yesterday's paper. The
lastalarmwasgiven about3 o’clock
Tuesday morning, and tbe fire proved
to be indhe house of Bob Coleman,
colored, which was only about thirty
feet distance from the one which
bunted a tew hours before. It wax
unquestionably tbe work of an incen
diary. There was no insurance on
the building. Tbe bouse of Sam
Young was insured for $*00 with J.&-
B. Love, in the ScPatfi fire insurance
company.
Resolutions by Prof. Baker:
Whereas, The Peabody Institute
has been in session in Thomasville for
over three weeks, affording rare edu
national advantages to the teachers ol
Thomas and contiguous counties, and
Whereas, Those teichers and citi
zens who have been iu attendance
would show their appreciation of the
pleasure and benefit derived, therefore
be it
Resolved, That we tender our sin
cere thanks to Commissioner Brad veil
’for holding one of the Institutes in our
town, and for his talks, so replete
wisdom and instruction given u: dur
ing the sessions.
Resolved, That our thanks are also
doe and, cheerfully tendered Mrs.
Head for her excellent method of
tercsting children in school work, to
Prof. Moody for hit lucid and prac
tical manner ot teaching Grammar, to

Prof. Chas. Lane’s Lecture.
Notwithstanding the threatening
condition ot rite weather and the fire
on Monday-night, Prof. Chas Lane’s
lecture drew a-big audience at -the
courthouse. The Prof had just be-?
gan his lecture when the alarm was
given. He suspended operations for
about tweffty minutes when the audi
ence returned and the speaker re
sumed where he bad left off. He
kept thecrowd from then on convulsed
.with laughter. Prof. Lane is certain
ly one of the most en'ertaining lectur
ers who has ever "visited Thomasville
and should he come this* way again,
he will be accorded a foil house.
The brick work oil the Messrs.
Ball’s stores on ioffer Broad street
has been .completed and workmen
are now putting on the roof. These
stores add greatly to the appearance
of that end of town.

Two cases of yellow fever has oc

announcement will show:
Office of the Board of Health ot
Escambia County, Florida, Pensacola,
August 9, 1893.—The board of health
regret to announce that two deaths
occurred in this city to-day, those of
Rev. F. C. Waite and -Ellen Wood,
child ol Mr. John Wood, both pro
nounced yellow fever. The hi
have beeo isolated, the bedding asd
clothing destroyed and ail the ni
sary precautions taken to prevent the
spread ol the disease, rhe public
will be notified immediately if any
new cases develop, At presea: we
see no cause for unduo alarm.
Robt. W. Hargis, M. D.
President of the Board of Health.
Attest: G. Brent, Secretary.
Hundreds are leaving the city on
out-going trains. Physicians think
there wi 1 be no more cases.
Speaking of the status of the firm-
era and business men throughout thia
section of the state, the News says:
The, farmers of wiregraas Georgia,
or the extreme southwestern portion
of the state, have made their crops
this year at very little cost, and the
consequerce is theyare less in debt
and owe lees now than they have on
any crop made in the last five years.
This information cornea frost
who travel in that section of Georgia,
and who comes in drily contact with
the farming classes in that section of
the state. The fact that the fiiriwi
have, bought very little on their crop
prospects, has kept the country mer
chants largely out of debt, as they
have sold very little under the cir
cumstances. The consequerce is that
the whole of wiregraas Georgia ia fat
very solid' condition, and very Httie
money is owed by either the farmers
or the merchants in that section.
According ;to the Atlanta Herald
there are twenty-five cases of typhoid
fever in Gainesville, Ga. Those peo
ple up there ought to come down
here and spend .the summer in
Thomasville where it ia bealthj all
the ear round.

That’s the way Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant
Pellets come. And it’s a more important
point than yon think. It keeps them al
ways fresh and reliable, unlike the ordinary
pills in cheap wooden cr pasteboard boxes.
They’re put up in a better way, and they
act in a better way, than the huge, old-
fashioned pills. No griping, no violence,
no reaction afterward that sometimes leaves
yon worse off than before. In that way,
they cure permanently. Sick Headache,
Billions Headache, Constipation, Indiges
tion, Billions Attacks, and all derangements
of tho liver, stomach and bowels, are pre
vented, relieved and cured.
They’re tiny, sugar-coated granules, a
compound of refined and concentrated vege
table extracts—the smallest in size, the
.easiest to take, and the cheapest pill yon
can buy, for they’re guaranteed to five sat
isfaction, or your money is returned. You
