Bystander’s Travels.
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.

Attention is called to the advertise
ment of the Allen Normal School,

Cul. Lyoes has engaged a graduate
of the famous Banners University of
Atlanta to teach Stenography (short

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

We gladly welcome Mr. Roddenberry

Resolutions of Respect.
At a recent meeting of St Thomas
Lodge 49, the folowing_reaolutioL8 of
respect were adopted:

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.

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.

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.

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

Here ia one bill already filed with
the clerk of the honse to be called up
at a later day in the session:

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,”

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,
