Farmers should not, it they can avoid it, leave cotton longer in the field after it is open A s'orm would play havoc with it Get it out as rapidly as possible. It is the safe-?! plan. The fact that Congress passed an act repealing the Sherman law, caused a bet er feeling among the business ui< n «»f Thotrinsvilie yesterday. There was a noticeable buoyancy and a look of confidence among bankers, busiuesa men and cotton buyers. The eud is insight. We’re getting out of the woods.

As these tickets are good to return up to aod including Sept 6;h, it affords a good chance to go to the World’s fair at reduced rates. The public are advised that the above rates' are not confined to G. A.

Mrs. Miles would have been 84 years old had she lived until November. She vas a most excellent woman in all the relations of life. She was an exem. p'ary Christian, a kindly neighbor, a true Iriend and greatly loved by all who knew her. The remains were interred in (he old burying ground tn the Atkinson place. At er life’s long battle she sleeps well. Two thousand circulars announcing that the business men and banks of Thomaaviile are ready to pay tbe highest price for cotton in currency, have been issued and will be scattered broadcast all over the county. There has been a general impression (hat the merchants and banks did not have enough currency on hand for this purpose. The circular, aud double column advertisement else where, tells a different tale. Every bale of cotton brought to Tlicmuville can besold for spot easit, »n-l at tbe highest market price. Married.

Merrill, Thomasville, Oa: At tbe regular meeting of the Board of Education held August 15th your resignation as principal of the Girls High School was tendered through Mr. Zettler, superintendent. The undersigned were instructed to acknowledge its receipt and in so doing to express to yon the high ap preciation in which your services were held, aod the sincere regret to every member of the Board that circum stances induced you to sever your connection with the schools of this city after no many years of faithful and satisfactory service. The Board feels that to you more than any other one teacher, is due the high reputation the schools have en joyed in the paBt, and realizes keenly the loss to the system, which your resignation entai’s. With no derirs to disparage the work of others we do not hesitate to. say, you could least have been spared from Bibb’s roll of over one huudred teachers. In your future work we wish and predict for you the full measure of success that characterized your labors in the cau*e of education here. The impress of your work with all its refining influence will be felt not only in the schools but in the homes of hundreds of our people for years to come. With sentiments of high esteem we have the honor to be Very respectfully. Your obedient servants. T. D Tins lev, J. II. Hertz, G W. Gustin, "Committee. Macon. Ga., Aug. 21,1893. Approved aud ordered spread cn c minutes. Ronr. A. Nesbet, Pres. With these resolutions, which were handsomely engrossed, she received personal letters from several of Ma con’s prominent citizens and school officials expressing their appreciation of her ability as a teacher and re* greta for her res’guatioo. Among these Supt. B. M. Zet'.ler says, * In parting with you I beg to exprest. so fur as word- are adequate, tpy appre ciation of your va’uible services in o;ir sehoo’s You came into the sys tem when it was in its mcipiency, aud by reason of your s-cral position contributed not a 'ittle to giving tho schools character, and in securing for them the patronage of our best peo pie. You took hold of yourfirstc’ass with an enthusiasm that was inspir ing, and in ail the years- that you have taught with us, there has been no abatement of your zeal and deyo» tion t» the schools. But it the high school where you have (aught with such sp'eudid success for twe’ve y»-ars I do you but simple justice in faying that to your personal influ ence, your skill in teaching and your unequalled tact in discipline and management are largely due the high character of that school.” Assistant Sup’t. D Q Abbott, writes, “Professionally, re have lost one of the most scholarly, most effi cient, most tactful, most resourceful women I have ever seen in the school room.” Judge A. L. Miller aud others wrote her similar letters. The above flattering and voluntary endorsements of Miss Merrill, merit ed cs they are, and coming from the most prominent and caltivated people in Macon, a3 they do, will be appres dated by the many friends of Miss Bessie in Thomasville. The South Georgia College is fortunate in hav ing secured her services. Few lady teachers in the state—if any—have made a more enviable record in the school room. NO NEW CASES AT BRUNS WICK. Bat the Doctors Advise All Who Can to Remain Away From the City Until After Frost- May or Lamb Endorsed. Special to TiMSs-EnxarussJ Brunswick, Ga,, Aug. 29,1893,— there are no new. or suspicious cases to report to day, aod the outlook is very hopeful. Six days have elapsed without developments. Dr. Guiteras, in an interview to day, advises all the people who can to remain away from the city until al ter froet, as gems might possibly be emcealed io closed houses. Drs. Guiteras. Carter and Hutton endorse Mayor Lamb's proclamation advising people to flee, and think the depopulation of the city helped-keep the epidemic down. A Urge gang of negroes were put to work on sanitation by the-relief cimmittee at raised pay of 50 cents per day cash and 75 cents worth of rations. Gamp Hutton has not yet been opened and will not be unless there are farther developments. Surgeon Hatton announces that government quarantine will be raised within seven days unless more cases appear. FEVER AT "TORT TAMPA. Thomasville Quarantined Last Night The rumors that had been circu lated on the streets yesterday stating that there was a case of lever at Fort Tampa were verified last night by a private telegram received by a gen- t'eman in this city from a friend in Tampa- This stated that there was one case on the docks at Port Tamps, but that it was strictly quarantined, nnAihete was very little danger ot it preading. > Mayor Hopkins bad wired4o sever al points during the day for infor mation, but failed to receive any re sponse. He, however, upon seeing the telegram above alluded to, im mediately declared quarantine against Tampa, Port Tampa City and Port Tampa. Tbe reporter had a talk with Mr. T. L. Spence, the new manager ol the Thomasville opera house,, yester day morning. Mr. Spence has been in this kind of business for a number of years and knows just exactly what the people want and what will pay the house. ,He is a live, wide-awake business man, and if there is any money i i the theatre business in Thomasville he will get it out The lesee has turned the whole business over to- him. - He alone has authority to fix prices, make engagements and run the home. What land of a season do you anticipate?” the reporter, asked Mr. The maoy friends of Mr. and Mrs. Berry C. Johnson, will be pained to learn of the death of their bright lit tle daughter, Bama, which occurred at their residence on Wednesday morning. She was taken ill with diptheria on Sunday morning, and the best medical attention and tender- eat nursing were unavailing to save the little one’s life. She was three years and two months old and was the pet of the household. The fvu neral services were conducted at Fre- donia Baptist church yesterday morn ing. by the Bev^ D. H. Parker. White the parents mourn,* as only parents can, the loss of their loved one, it is well with the child. The Times Enterprise job office is turning out the annual catalogue of B. W. Btooe’A Co.’s nursery, which is located near the city. Tbe cata«* logue contains much that will be of interest to fruit growers every where. Mr. Stone has made a life study of fruit culture and is authority on any thing pertainiog to it. He baa, by close application to business and up* right, honest methods, built up a huge and increasing business. He is a young man who deserves success and we are- glad that he is meeting with iU Thomasville Is All Right. During the long weeks ol depres sion when the banks all over the country were breaking, when great business enterprises were being wrecked and ruined, Thomasville, vu here in the wiregrass, never lost her head. Her banks and bust nesa men, cautious and cool, watched the situation and guided their basinets with skillful hands. And the people never lost confidence. There has been no rush, no withdrawals of deposits. The consequence is that the town emerges from tbe gloom cast all over the country by tbe financial disasters with colors flying and solid as the impregnable fortress oi Gibraltar. There will be no necessity ior the is suanee of clearing house certificates here. The banks and merchants, as wi l be seen by reference to announce ment e'sewhere, have pleuty of cur rency ou hand to pay for cotton and to supply all the demands of com merce This is a most gratifying announcement. Many towua have had to resort to certificates in order to supply the means with which to carry on business. Farmers bringing their cotton here will hot only be paid tbe very highest market prices, but they will be paid promptly in currency. That there is yet a scarcity of cur rency in many places is true, but Thomasville is fully equipped and prepared with money to purchase every bale of cotton grown in Thomas county. In a few days the schools and col leges in Thomasville will resume. No town in the State' offers greater or more substantial induce menta to pupils who desire an education. Our colleges rank among the beet in the State, while a number of private schools, all first-class, offer rare in ducements to parents and guardians who wish to send children to good schools. The (own is healthy, its morals good, board can be had in private families at reasonable rates, whi'e the best influences will be thrown around boys and girls, both in and out of the schools and colleges. We have excellent schools right here at home, and they should be pationized, and liberally patronized. A good attendance helps to make a good school. “A good one,” ✓ promptly re plied the new manager. «*I pro pose to give the people of Thomaa viile thq best attraction*- that can be induced to come here, and I know they wid be patronized. The money panic wid be over before the season is fairly opened, and with the large crowd that will be here this winter I feel confident that by giving good shows Thomasville can be made one of the best show towns in South Georgia.” “What is the character of tho at tractions already booked?*. “Well, yon see, I haven’t been in charge of the house but one day, and consequently have made^ no bookings myself. Mr. Thompson, the former manager, had, however, signed op with quite *a number of companies, some of which are the best that come South. The biggest thing we have booked for the season U Stuart Bob- son, who will play here early next year. Robson, you know, is the best in bis Hoe. He plays to full houses fur weeks at a time' in the largest cities. He is a brother of Mr. C. T. Stuart, and it is only through the ii'ftoence of his brother that be was induced to visit as small a place as Thomasville.” Will there be any improvements made in the house ?” *No; none are necessary. The Thomasville opera hou^e is the best fitted up and best arranged of any house in the South outside of the large cities. It is a long ways ahead of the town.” When does the eeason open ?** Oj September the 13th, with a comedy company.* You may Bay to U\“ people,” continued Manager Spence, “that I shall endeavor to do all in my pjwer to give them attrac tions in every way worthy of their patronage.” BRUNSWICK BRIGHTENS EVERY DAY. No New Cases—Surgeons Will Declare Fever at an End m Seven Days, If no New Cases Occur. - \ Special to Tiuis-Ektsrpusk ] .. . Brunswick, Ga., Ang. 31, ’93. - There are no new "or suspicious cases of fever reported op to this hour, 9 p. m. The Board of Health havei decided to issue no more health bulletins unless new cases axe develop ed. The surgeons say they will re commend that the quarantine against Brunswick be raised, if no new cores are developed between this and the 7th inst. The School Fund of Thomas County. According to the figures recently worked ont by State School Commis sioner Brad well, there wOTbe $1,058,- 532 52 to be given out to the various counties of the state, and this will be divided ont to tbe counties on the bans oi their school population as shown by the recent school census. By the count of that censns if was found that there are 604*971 children of school age in the State. According to the report 97 per cent ot* the children of the state are attending school, leaving only 3 per cent out of the school house. Thomas county reports her school population at 8,370. This gives, as her portion of the public school fund, $14,646.50, Only the following counties draw a larger amount from, the fund: Bibb, 122,034,50; Burke, $16,172.00; Chatham, 27,172.50; Floyd, $16,877.- 25; Fulton, $27,673;00; Richmond, $25,203.52, and Washington, $15, 696,502. Thus it will be seen that only seven counties draw a larger amount of tbe school fund than Thomas county, In the bands of that careful, compe tent and painstaking gentleman, County School Commissioner, Me Lean, every dollar will be used to tho best advantage, and for tbe bene fit of the school children of Thomas county. There is not a man in Geor gia more thoroughly interested io the work of education than Mr. McLean. He has made the pnbho schools of Thomas model ones. They are All Right. The farmers ot Thomas county have not fe't the a riogency in money mat ters like the-merchants and business mon. The farmers have contracted but few debts, and have, in the main, made their cwn supplies. This wise policy has made them independent of the situation. Speaking of the condition of the farmers throughout the Stale the Other day, Governor Northen, said: The farmers are not the ones that are suffering from the pan ; c this year. They are all-right aud are on the top wave. It is the men wb » are expect ed to have money that seem to be troubled. I don’t be'ieve I have ever seen the farmers of the state of Geor gia so well fixed at this period of the year. They have lived at home more closely this year than before, and the natural consequence is they arc not so much in debt as they usually are atthU period. They have good pros pects for a bounteous harvest, too, and this makes them feel safe, while the bankers fend financiers are both ered for cash. Georgia will be all right in a few weeks. Watch and see. The put; itho went tip to heir Watson at Meigs yesterday returned last night The; report a large crowd, estimated at 1500, and no d»- turbance of any kind, Ur. Wataon made the same speech, in the thain, which he has been making elsewhere. There waa eery little enthusiasm, in fact some of tho gentlemen prerent say the speech fell flat. The barbe cue was a success. There was plenty for ail.. We learn. from Ur. Joe Lunsford, who returned from Moultrie yesterday, that the .’ore house and coo tents oi Mr. A.J Rogers bunted at (o’clock yesterday morning. Tbe work was clearly incendiary. The . theatrical season in Thomas •vilte will open on September 13th. He Jumped. Mayor Hopkins met the train from Waycrossatd made diligent se.rcb tor parties who might hail from Tampa. Everyone showed up ail right except one negro. He had no health certifica'e aud could give no satisfactory account as to his former whereabout,. The mayor notified him that he could not come into town. Reluc antly, apparently, he got off. Just as the train started off some track hands yelled out: "Dat nigger done got back on de train.” Sure enough the mayor found him while trying to conceal himselt. By this time the train was getting under good headway, 'You can jump or. stay on and be arrested when you get to the depot,” said the mayor. Thedarkey conclud ed it was better to jump than to he arrested, and so, with his only baggage banjo—he jumpped. Banjo and performer hit the ground in a lump and the last seen of him he' was nuking his way southward. The police hare an accurate description of him and il he is found in town an arrest trill folio*. Shade Trees. The Press makes a strong appeal for the replacement and preservation of the shade trees in Savannah. It says: “Savannah's glory is in' her shade trees. Hundreds of these were ruined by the storm. It is to be hoped that great care will be taken in trimming and straightening those that' are damaged. The shade trees should be dealt with tenderly. They cannot be replaced in a day. The trees and parks are worth a great deal to Sa vannah. For beauty, comfort, and health nothing can take their place. This is the time to show the greatest care io looking after the trees in the public parks and thoroughfare: and in private property.” This reminds us that Thomuvi'l--, while she has many beautiful shade trees, should have many more. Every resident street io the town should be lined with shade trees. They would add materially, not only to the com fort of the citizens, but to the appear ance ot the streets and the value of property. The city council cou'd uot do a wi er thing than to set out a fixed number of shade trees every year. And when put out they should be properly boxed and protected against stock. No better investment could be made. In this way the town could be made one of the most attractive ia the South. Nothing adds more to the attractiveness of a town than to have its resident streets lined with shade trees. The Engtneer at Hts Post. (Vrom-atth.Tlirottw," In Hectare's Vsgs- ■ ; steerorSeptember.) jMeantime, what is the "engineer of this fastest train in the world doing for the passengers? In the first place, the Chicagojlyer is not driven by one but by many engineers. In orderto'cover the, nine Jhundret) >nd .sixty -four miles between-the two cities in twenty hours, including nieeatops, there are required, seven huge engines in relays, driven by seven grimy heroes. A run of lees than one hundred and fifty miles is the limit per day lor each engine, while three hours of the plungiog rush wears ont-the strongest engineer. Sixty, seventy, eighty miles an hoar—what does that mean to the man at tbe throttle? It means that the six and a half feet drivers turn five times every second' and advance one hundred feet. Trc-tic trc, and the train has run the length of New York’s highest steeple.- Die engineer turns his head for five seconds to look at the gauges, and in that time the terrible iron creature, putting forth the strength of a thousand horse?, 'may have shot past a red signal with its danger warn ing five hundred feet away. Ten sec* ends, aod one thousand leet are left behind—oue-fifth W a mile. Who knows wbat horrors may lie in a thou sand feet! There may be death lurking round a curve, death spreading its arms in a tunnel, and the engineer must see and be responsible for every thing. Not only most be note instant ly all that is before him, the signals, switches, bridges, the passing trains, and the condition of the rails, but he must act at the same moment, work ing the throttle, air-brakes, reversiog- lever, not as qnick as thought, but quicker, for there is no time to think. His muscles must do the right thing automatically under circumstances where a second is an age. Ia the three hours of his vigil there are ten thousand eight hundred seconds, du ring each one of which he must watch with the mental alertness of an athlete springing for a flyiog trapeze from the roof of an amphitheatre, with the courageous self-possession olamita- dor awaiting the deadly rush of a maddened but); and far more depends upon the engineer’s watching well, because, if he fails by a hair’s breadth in coolness orprecission of judgement, there may come destruction, uot only to himself, but to hunnreds ot passen gers, who, while he stands guard, are perhaps grumbling at the waiters in the dining-car or telling fueny stones io the smoker 4 .
