On The Wing, Sleeping Car Valda, Sept. 3, We bade you good night at Mont gomery. After 2 delay of 31 minutes our train steamed away at 9 o’clock due north' from the brilliant tlec’ric lights into darkness 'rendered more intense by the sharp contrast. Wearied from the days ride we soon retired, recalling to memory those lines of beautiful and eloquent appeal: 'Abide with me; fast fall* the eventide, The darkness deepens j Lord with me abide.” All night long our train rolled on: through Calera,Birmingham, Decatur; .dyer the hills and across the valleys of North . Alabama Into the good state of Tennessee. ;Wbcn "we awoke at 5:30 this morning the train. had just stopped at Columbia,Tenn., 500 miles from Thomasville. There was a decided- change in temperature. Last flight we had need for a fan and none for covering; at 2 this morning we bunted a blanket and at 6 hustled into an overcoat. At 7 we pulled into the city of Nash ville which lay,.spread out Mcea pic tore upon canvass, from our hillside view.. This is emphatically a hilly couoliy ahd every hill appears to be but a slight surface of ear;h c**er an unbending mass of stone, granite, marble and slate. But it is withal a fioe agricultural land. Magnificent crops of corn, hay and tobacco are apparent and we have just pissed an apple orchard whose trees are filed with the red luscious fru-t. Vegetation is far less advanced here th m in our section Everything fresh and green as in mid spring. There is a fi^'d of corn in new now as we write not ta selcd out yet* Acres ot tobacco green and uncut. Your trees will be—(a half mfle.tunnel, dark as Egyp*, interrupted me here) — denude of foliage long before the sere and yellow leaf puts in appearance here. M>! but what gran 1 scenery spreads out before us. We are now in Ken ’udky, skirting the valley ol a moun tain range. To our let the elevation risec aoo fee*. on oir rght it descends a sheer dept ct an* ‘her hundred. We begin to understand the feeling that inspired the song ‘Take me back to my o’d Kentucky home.” The wanderers from this state never forget its wonderful scenery. The spires of Louisville are m sight. We must bid you adieu. Wilt write you next from Uh cago. Bystander. Attention is called to the advertise ment of the Allen Normal School, which irppeara elsewhere. This col- kge is too well known to need any extended notice at our hands. The next term opens on October 3rd. Read the ad Cul. Lyoes has engaged a graduate of the famous Banners University of Atlanta to teach Stenography (short hand) and Typewriting at the South Georgia College. The method em ployed is said to be shorter than any other, and graduates will be aided in securing positions. Hon. S. A. Roddenberry, who res cently accepted a position as a mem ber of the faculty* of the South Geor gia College, has moved his family to Thomasville and occupied the Cul' pepper cottage on Warren street. We gladly welcome Mr. Roddenberry fo citizenship. Resolutions of Respect. At a recent meeting of St Thomas Lodge 49, the folowing_reaolutioL8 of respect were adopted: Whereas, A kind Providence has seen fit i*> flora among ns our esteemed friend and brother, Harry B. Baker,-a ho as a quiet, industrious citizen and u court*.-u* qud modest gentlemen, was ba <•?*! by all who knew him. Resolved, first; That in the death of Brother Baker, uur Lodge has lost a consiseut craftsman, his family an aflectionate relation, and the state a true and orderly subject. R-golvcd, second. That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this Lodge and a copy sent to the family of the deceased and to the Times Enterprise fox publica tion. J. J. Biggs, H. B. Martin, „ H Wise. The County Tax Rate. E’sewhere will be found the pro ceedings of the county commissioners at their meeting on Monday. They are of unusual interest, as the rate of taxation based on the returns of prop erty in the county, was fixed at the meeting. The rate is twenty*five cents on the hundred for all purposes, each purpose beiog set forth in the proceedings. The rate is higher than it was last year. • This will be readily understood when the facts are known. Last year the funds of the county were augmented by the Kile of the old jail lot fox about $5,000 In ad dition to this the property of the county is given in;this year at about $163,000 less than it was given in at last year. Last year, ~it will be re membered, a board of assessors, under ir stato law, revised the tax returns and raised aU property ’ which they thought'was given in toe low, in other words they endeavored to. equalize the taxes of every citizen. Chairman Hayes and his colleagues on the board of county commissioners have, on the basis of the property" aa given in, pat the lowest possible rate oommemurate with the wants and necessities of the county; - Every de partment is run at the smallest pos sible expense. A certain amount of money is necessary to run the county. If property be given in at a foil . and fair valuation the tax rate will be l*»a; • on ’ the other .hand if property bo given in at a low rate, below its valae, then necessarily the rate will have to be higher in order to raise the amount necessary to ran “the county. • The combined rate for state and county this year is seventy-one cents on the hundred, against .65 cents last year. This is au increase, but a very 'alight one. Read the proceedings elsewhere. In Memoriam. Sadiy were we snmmoned to the death of our daring little Bamma, the three-year old daughter of Mr.-and Mis. B. C. Johnaoo, which occurred last Thursday, Aug. 31st. Although her illness lasted but a few days, the pain she suffered was intensely thockiog; writhing in agony she tossed on her little bed until the angel of death relieved her. Only a tew moments before she died she be came quiet, and her last breath left her, apparently, without a struggle. H >w utterly impossible it was to rea lize.! hat she was gone. Still now do we hear the echo of that sweet baby voice, and listeu for the light tread ot her little foet, that we are never to hear again, or feel the little arms clasping us lovingly about the neck Everything is a reminder of bet presence, her sweet angelic face, and her loog, dark curls falling carelessly over forehead is a picture ever before ui. No one could know her Without loving her, in her mild, winning way she was an amiable child. God took her home ere she reached the trials, troubles and temptations of this life. * Blessed bp the name of the Lord. Sadly, sadly the hoars glide Since Bamma, oar dtrliag baby, died; Gladly do we catch the soaod, . She u now with the crowned. By One Who Loved Her. TO LOCAL SPOTSMEN. A Call for a Convention of Sportsmen. ihe rapid disappearance ot every species ot game from the Southern States makes protection to that which remains, imperative.. Just what laws should be passed to insure that pio‘.cc> tion, and how these laws shall be made effective, are matters which command the attention and interest of all true sportsmen. Feeling that ihe.Ume has arrived when the people'of Georgia are ready tofooperatc with the sportsmen of our State, in their laudible efforts *Jo protect the game and fish of our fields, forests and streams, from the luihless wsr waged upon them during their breeding seasons, and from wholesale destruction by seiners, trappers and pot hunters, we ask that all who' feel an interest in field sports and . io the protection and preservation' of the game of our State, meet us in the city ot Atlanta, on the 17thday of October, w convention, m order that we may become permanently organoid into a State Sportsman's Association. It will be iu the province of said association to recommend to the Gen eral Assembly of Georgia, which con venes in Oct. next, such changes in our present game laws as will best protect our game, and to do" all that is possible to secure.the enactment of such changes. Through the co opt ration of a State Sportsman’s Association, a healthy sentiment in favor of game protection can be generated, and the law sustain ed by moral influence. Under the auspices of a State A-sociation, field trials and special meeting of other kinds can be held, and all the interest of sportsmen advanced. Every man and woman in Georgia who is interested in the protection of game and in any branch of field sports, is urged to attend the conven tion . We will endeavor to secure reduced rates 01 transportation to this conven tion and will publish the results of our effjrts in due time. Fcr aoy further information concerning the convention address H. C- Brown, Editor of the Southern Sportsman, Atlanta, Ga. The abovejcail-is signed by a large number of citix :ns of Amencus, At lanta, Macon, Savannah, Colurribus, Brunswick, Thomasville and other places ia Georgia. A law for the pro tecuon of game 11 of vast 'importance to th s section, an we have no doubt our locti spcT.sraen will lend their presence and aid to the convention, The Negro Population. The Times-Advcrtiser, Brunswick, nays this tribute to the negroes in that y* m Here ia one bill already filed with the clerk of the honse to be called up at a later day in the session: ‘•By Hr. Bunn, dem., of North Carolina—To refund to North Caro, lina $36,462, proceeds ol the sale of certain cotton aeizsd at ThomasriUe, Ga., in 1865. Who knows anything about the cotton t Mr. H. Isaacs, accompanied by his wife, daughter, son and Miss Glauber, his sister, are at the Southern Hotel. They hare been spending a few weeks at Indian Spring* Hr. Isaacs is of the well known firm ol Glauber & Isaacs, Brunswick,—WaycroesHeoit, The Thomasville friends ol Mr. ad Mrs. Isaacs will be glad to learn qaf they are on their way back to thsir home in Brunswick. Hr. Jos. A. Jerger returned to New York a few days ago to wind up his business there, after which he will devote several weeks to selecting and purchasing the holiday goods ior Jo-get's Bijou Jewelry , store in this city. He says that while they have al way* earned a stock second to none in Georgia, he proposes to eclipse any. thing in the South this year. He wi t spend revera! weeks in selecting these goods & all the leading bouses ot the Ea.t, and his well known taste in each matters is a. guarantee that the lovers of the beautiful and artistic will have a stock such as has never been shown in Thomasville before from which to select their holiday .goods. Female Base Ball Players It was reported sometime ago that a female base base ball club would play io Thomasville. As yet they have not put in appearance, though the boys say they are ready for them. They have been playing at other places in the State. The Herald- Journal, Greeosbero, referring to the female players, says: The female base ball players were here <ast Friday, and played, a nine composed of Greene county young men. They were well behaved, both at the hotel and in public, and outside of the abreviated skirts they wore, over blue blouse knee pantaloons, were very much like other young women of the working class around cities. We do not approve of femalea going around over the country ball playing, but the crowd here behaved well, we most confess. But they couldn’t play ball.” LeConte Pears. Anything touching the value or marketing of LeConte .peats is read with interest by many in this section. The Dawson News thus refers to an experiment which has beea made with the LsCoete iu Terrell county: , “By an experiment Hr. M. C. Mims has .demonstrated that a new field of usefulness is opening np for the LeConte pear, which grows - in such abundance in this section. He presented to the News a few days ago a pint of syrup that he made from the fruit. It has an excellent flavor, and there is no reason why it should not become general for the'table use. The pears oontain a large amo&nt of saccharine substance, and the yield of syrup from them is large. These pears grow iu such au abundance in this section that they cannot be dis posed of, and large quantities of them annually go to waste If the mann facture of syrup' from them proves a success the crop will be worth a great many dollars to oar people. Uajor Mima has doubtless hit upon a plan to utilize them.” They Both Got Six Months. Will Lewis and Jack Woodson, colored, were before Judge Alexander Monday. The former was arraigned on-a charge of larceny. It appears that he relieved a merchant in Oohv lockonee of a pur of socks. Wood- son was pat in jail some weeks ago charged with runsiog a blind tiger business in Sandy Bottom. Th*y both plead guilty to the respective charges and his honor gave them both the same fine—fifty dollars and costs or six months on the gang. They will work. Eight .Cents for Cotton. Mr J. L. Finn advertises elsewhere that he wiil pay eight cents for good middling cotton '. delivered during September to all parties owing'him. This is a arist liberal price and the offer will no doubt bring him many bales ot the fleecy staple. . More improvements have been made in Thomasville during the past summer than ior any summer ia the past five jenrs. Americas Times-Becorder: "It has long since been demonstrated that as good stock can be raised here as ever came from the blue grass fields of Kentucky or the plains of Texas. A majority of our farmers knew this aad are aoting accordingly, and it is ,to be hoped that the day is not far distant when every Georgia farmer will raise at home the bone* and moles needed-in the cultivation of bis farm.” The lime is coming, and we hope it is not distant, when the farmers ot Thomas county will raise their own stock. The amount 'of faoriey ari- nally sent from this'connty for horses and mu’es would bankrupt any pco pie on earth. There are no good reasons why the farmers of this sec tion should not raise their own stock; on the contrary there are many, yery many, reasons why they should raise their own stock. Farmers should not forget that ThomssviUe buyers have tire cash and wiU pay it down for all cotton brought here. In all the trials to which the South has been subj rcted, and ia which the negro has played a part, he has oof been found wanting. As the only material productive force, during the war of States, he loyal and true as a slave as could have been from the highest mo tives of manhood and humanity. Iu the present condition of Bruns wick, the city has been as completely subjected to ti c dominance of the ne gro as if it had been a province of their own. Asa rule, they have shown their trustworthiness. They ha>e given no such-trouble, even in the hours of idle, ness and scant rations, as are report ed from large labor centers. The Sou'h has the best labor ele. ment in the world, and it is time that the whim for a better class was smoth ered. The negro will do to relie on. He has been put to the severest tests, aod has never failed to deserve tributes * ot coromendation." Georgia has, in the main, a good negro population. Here in Thomas- ville, and Thomas county, as a rule, they are law abiding and industrious. True, there are exceptions to this rule, as there are to all rules- We doubt if there is a better class of Degrees anywhere in.the South than is found io this section. We take pleasure in reproducing the -article from our Brunswick-contemporary. If northern fanatics who know nothing about the negro will let him alone be will work out his own salvation successfully among the southern people, among whom he has always lived juid who understand hub. The race problejn, if left alocCrWill adjust itself. The Quarantine Against- Bruns wick. Anytbiug touching the subject of yellow fever at Brunswick, and the probable early suspension of the quarantine against the place, will be read with interest in ThomssviUe. The News of yesterday has the follow- ing: '.l-SfpfiE Surgeon Hutton, of the United States marine hospital service, who baa been on duty at Brunswick since yellow feTer was first announced there, has recommended to the' surgeon general. that the quarantine against that point be raised within'fifteen days of the death from the last cue of yellow fever. - . Dr, Brunner received the following telegram on the subject from Surgeon Hutton yesterday: - ^ Brunswick, Ga., Sapt. 5,1893.— Dr. W. 'Fi Brunner: - Have, recom mended to surgeon general raffing of quarantine end of fifteen days from date of death of last case, provided no other deaths occur in that time. Would be pleased to confer with yon at Brunswick or Cdtnp Haines—can not elsewhere. - W- H. H. Hutton, Surgeon. . A CONFERENCE TO BE HELD.' The telegram was Bud before the sanitary board at its meeting yester day afternoon, and the eubjeot of rais ing the quarantine was dismissed. In accordance with the suggestion of Surgeon Hutton,' Dr. Brunner was authorized to hold a conference with him on the eubject and report to the board. He will probably go down to Camp Haines this week. If Dr. Brunner’s report is favora ble, -the quarantine against Bruns wick will probably be raised by the end of this week. Harri$ the last yellow fever patient to die in Bruns wick, died upon Ang. 23, and conse quently thirteen days have already elapeed since hit death. To morrow will be, the fifteenth day, and if no new or suspicious cases develop by that, time it ia thought that it will be safe to remove the quarantine res trictions. The president welcomed the medi cal congreet to Washington the other day. Here is what he-said:' ‘ The part assigned me on this co cation admits of few words. It, how ever, afiords me opportunity to say how pleased I am to be in any way related to an assemblage each as this, called together iu furtherance of the highest and noblest purposes and desires. I hope I may also be per mitted to add that protection of the public health and the prevention of contagious disease areobjects properly brought under consideration at the capital of a nation which appreoiatee fully the serious importance of every thing which aids in making inter course between civilized countries and commetceb etween them safe and easy. [Applause.] - ‘‘It is also fitting that thoee who devote themselves to the saving of human life and to the alleviation of human sufieriog should consider the modes of reaching these beneficent ends at the seat of a government whose greatest regard is the welfare and happiness of the -individual eiti- zen. [Applause-] It only remains for me Ur declare this congress of pan- American medical societies open for the transaction of the business which has ca'lcd it together,” County Commissioner’s Pro ceedings.

Marshal Spair has • been engaged for the past lew days in showing the road commissioners ofthe Thomas yilJe district how to manipulate the grading machine. The commission ers have decided to give the machine a trial on one road for six miles to compare the work and expense with the present system with a view of making a change in the interest of good roads. The city kiricUy let them, have the use of tbe dty*s machine to make the experiment with and the Boston road was picked oat ou which to make theiest., It is needles say that every one ia highly gratified at the work of the machine, and it-is already almost an assured fact that this district will at least adopt, this system and purchase a- machine. When this is done it is but a matter of a very short while until the roads of the whole county will be worked by machines. Then Thomas county will have the best roads in the south. Many intell gent people who baye not given the matter serious thought imagine'that the magnetic needle points tca ard what is known as the geographical north pole. This is a large-'Sizjd mistake, says a St. Louis Republic writer, as I shall now pro ceed to prove. It can . be properly said that there are two north poles. The geographical . north pole (the place where all the degrees of longi tude intersect and where there is no longitude,)'and the magnetic north pole, the latter being-the needle*# at traction. The first mentioned or geo* graphical pole is fixed aod constant, bat the magnetic, pole is-constantly changing position, and, at the rale it is now traveling, will make a complete circuit of tbe geographical pole about once in every 640 years. Obser vations on this point were first made from the Greenwich Observatory in 1658, at which dale the magnetic pole was on that meridian. During the last 235 yean it has cross ed the Atlantic ocean and is now well on its-jborney across the northern part of the 'American continents At the present time it is on or near the southv western shore of Boothia Peninsula, a' about 79° north latitude. Savannah will hot raise the quaran tine against Tampa until it is positive ly ascertamedihat there is no fever there. In reference to Brunswick, the News ot yesterday says; Dr-Brunner has received a telegram from the surgeon general recommend ing the raising of the- quarantine if it can be shown that all dauger of infec** tion'has passed. ,Waycross and' Jesup have raised their quarratine against Brunswick. Dr. Brunner will not recommend the raising of the quarantine unless he. is .absolutely sure thara’l danger of infection ha s passed. Eyeryoue will welcome the repeal of the 10 per cant tax on state banks, anil tbe issue of state bank notes provided they be made secure beyond any question.
