There is considerable kicking on the part of the traveling pnblio at the irregular arrival of the Alabama Midland night passenger. Thursday night it did not arrive until about ten o’clock. Passengers who were going ont on it to 8avanuah were forced to wait at the depot for several hours, and there was much kicking. We regret to learn of the death of Mr. Steading Evans, s well known citizen of Thomas county,' which oc curred at his home in the Big Creek neighborhood on Friday night Mr. Evans had been rick for several weeks with typhoid fever and for some days past his death was expected. He was a good farmer, a good dliian and neighbor and leaves betides hit family a large list of frienda to mourn bis death. Jackson Bussell, of Irwin county, a boy twelve years old, has plowed and worked forty acres of land in core, cotton, cane and potatoes this vear. The corn crop will yield nearly 800 bushels; two bales of long cotton; 300 bushels of potatoes, and several barrels otsjtup. Where is the boy or man who can beat this.—Wilcox Benner. This is an example that might be profitably followed by more than one Thomas county boy. A dispatch from Americas says: “At a county colt shown in Anteri* cus to-day about 125 cofta were ex hibited. Twenty-one mnle colts under 2i years were on exhibition from one plantation, the farm of W. Hooka & Son. “A number of prizes were awarded. The first prize went to a very fine colt exhibited by T. G. Walters. Stock raising is fast becoming an im portantindustry in this county.” Sumter sets her sister counties good example. Why could we hot get np a colt show In Thomas this fall. There are doubtless many fine colts in the county. Who will move in the matter? Good Tune. a: Offered by Liggett & Myers To- The-best time ever made between banco Co of St Louis, Mo.

Another Letter From Dr. Hop kins. Washixotox, D. C„ __ Bept. 6th, 1893. Dear Times -Enterpeise : While on' the streets early this morning Jane Smith tapped me on the shoulder. It was, as is usual under the dreumitanoea, e meeting of nupefee to eech of u*. Io n few mini tea we had started for Arlington, theold six hundred acre farm home of that intarprid hero of the last eanae, Bbbh E. Lee. Every individual loyal-to the lata lamented confedera cy, and-every one. who poasea-ea enough to appreciate a grand old warrior whose sets render him with out a parallel in bfetory, should proud- ly lift his hat at the his name. As fa the case with all that was-mortal of the great aoldfer. The o’4' farm baa undergone great changes 1- The field* are builded apon and theextanrive lawn has been con verted, into a national cemetery, where the bodw* of seventeen Hums' and of these who wore tho Mae and luivo gone to -real.- About two hun dred confederate boys who bravely gave their live* for that which they believed was right, have mingled their dost with Arlington soil, and that far they have maintained this lawful heritage. It was but just and right that they should repose in this beau tiful spot. May the sound of the final tramp be quickly followed by a glorious light beaming through the gates ajar to guide them and accom panied by the jnyfnl sounds which ■ay enter thou into everlasting peace. A. part of this beautiful place occupied as a government military post The' old reridence undefaced and is antic which attracts mach attention. It is constructed very much on the order of the Thom as county Jones houses, haying a wide piazzi in', front bordered with eight pillars, sixteen feet and three inches in circumference and twenty- five feel high. The building is on an eminence commanding'a magnificent view embracing the sloping lawn and terraces below, a long reach of the Potpmac river and a birds eye view of the beautiful capitol of the United States. After the o'oee of the medical con grets in the afternoon I attended a reception at the white home given by President and Mrs Cleveland. The President looked well, but his wife looked better. The far famed marine band discoursed soft sweet marie whirh seemed calculated to transport one far away from earth and worldly thongbta and lead him through etherial labsryntha of eternal glory. The whole affair was possessed of that trancaendent brilliancy which once implanted, upon the human mind lingers never to be forgotten. The Pan American congress con tinues s grand success Many scieu' title and instructive papers are read and discussed in the different aectioiw in a manner calculated to further educate the profession and increase the ability to core amt prevent dies Special iuterest is taken in matters looking toward preventive medicine. The prevention of disease is far more important than its core, except to those who are now rfflicted. Sorely no physician with a spark of humanity or godliness in his make up will fail to use his utmost endeavor to prevent the ills to which human flesh is heir. At this moment Dr. \Vm. Pepper, the president of tho congress, is de livering-^ his address, which will bo immediately followed by a grand promenade concert at Metgerott Hall. The address I may read at my leisure in the transactions and aa I am not going to promenade with the iprii when away from home—you know never do (?) I’ll stay in my room, to good night. Yours truly, J^Q, Hopkins. -FROM THE CAPITOL. Dr. J. G. Hopkins Writes An Interesting Letter. Metbopoutan Hotel, ) Washington, D. C. > .

His words ware few bat end eminently befitting the whom no. finger can be pointed in in high com mends tion, and indicative of the taet that he fa ooeman whose jtlane of opera tion removes him far above the scheming politician. He appears vigorous and in excellent health. Truly there most he a mistake in the newspaper statement that an opera tion had been perforated upon his face.

We call attention of our readers to tho advertisement of the above college In this issue. This college now has a faculty equal in all respects to- the beat in the state abd the people of Booth Georgia should give it their patronage. The president, CoL J, Ootton Lynes, has a wide reputation 11 an educator and is making this col lege famooa. Thomasville is healthy, its citizens cultured, moral and refined and the surrounding! ol a student at tit's college are all that could ha dashed by Christian parents.

We hope the rity fathers will give tree piantiog aome attention at the proper time. It costa very little to pntotit trees. When put. ont, howev er, they should be securely boxed and protected. To day we, by resolution, recom mended that a national department oi health be established. In the event that the government complies there will bo an additional member of the cabinet, known, I suppose, as secretary of the department of health. This department, of course, if estab lished, will not he expected' to con flict with such state sanitary or quar antine laws as may exist in the several states, but rather to aid and abet such whenever necessary. Upon what I had to say In the discussion of that resolution, and of a resolution I offered looking toward the estab- of a state board of health in Georgia, I prefer others to com. ment Should my remarks and reso lution appear in the drily prints yon wiD see them, if not yon will hare to await the forthcoming of tho trees actions ol the congress. This afternoon in company with the doctors mentioned above and Dr*. LeGnnde, of Alabama, and Byers, of North Carolina, I called opon Senators Gordon and , Colquitt. The Utter was abaeot/but we had the pleasure of a delightful confer ence with the manly scar-laced vet eran Gordon. He whose clarion notes are heard throughout thb land; ho whose thunder tones ' reverberate through the senatorial halls, penetrat ing the most sedative recesses of the massive' structure which surrounds him and pinning his logical conclu sion upon the ear of every right- thinking soulin hie hearing.

We regret exceediogly to announce the death of Mr. R. R. Mitchell, which sad event occurred yesterday morning about eleven o’clock at his home eleven miles in the country. Mr. Mitchell had been sick just ten days, and although the disease with Which ho was afflicted—hemorrhagic fever—is considered extremely danger ous, his friends had reason to hope that his robust constitution would succeed in dispelling it. All feist week be was quite low, baton Saturday and Sunday seemed to be improving. Yesterday . morning, however, he suddenly grew worse and in a few hours, death claimed him as another one of its victims. ' Mr. Mitchell was a son of Mr, Henry Mitchell, and on the 6tb day of last May was 37 yean of age. He wdl And favorably known tbronghonf the county, and was held In. the highest esteem by every one. He poaseased til the train that go to make up the trite gentleman, and none knew him but to love him. True to his family and friends, strict ly hone’t and straightforward in all dealings with his fellowman, kind hearted and charitable, Dick Mitch- dl’a name trill ever be cherished. Deep and sharp were the pangs of regret that pierced the hearts of his relatives and countless friends when the news of his death, reach their ears. Mr. Mitchell leaves a young and devoted wife, three small children, father, brothers and sisters to moorn his untimely death. These have the heartfelt sympathiee oi every one in their sad bereavement. y The remains will be brought to town this morning and the funeral will take place from the residence of Mr. T. C. Mitchell, on Remington avenne^at three o’clock this afternoon. Interment in Launl Hill cemetery. The friends and acquaintances of the deceased and his family are invited to attend.—Drily T. E.

BYSTANDER ON WHEELS The Fast Mail Wrecked. No. 37, the fast traia between here end Montgomery, which left here a little pfter one o'clock on Friday, waa wrecked about a half mile this side of Dothan. The engine, baggage car, mail car and two coaches were thrown from the track, nothing bat the leeper remaining on. The derail ment was canted by a bolt which had been placed on the track by aome one. Engineer McLaughlin was leaning out of his window lookiog at some part oi the machinery and saw the wheels leave the track. The engine ran along on the ties for some dis tance and finally stopped almost on its side. Mr. McLangblin stuck to his post, but the fireman was thrown oat of the window and considerably bruised up. No one else on the tram was i-jared A few minutes after the accident happened a little white boy came from out of a field near by and from his conversation Conductor Johnson concluded he knew somethieg about the cause of the acoident and locked him up until Superintendent Dun ham arrived. - When the latter came bo examined the boy and finally turned him loose. The train tvas going up hiii at the time and only at a speed of about thirty miles en hour. Had it been going at its usual high rate of speed the result would no doubt have been something terrible. A Faithful Correspondent. A nntab’e instance of fairoess and oooservativeness in the telegraphic correspondence from this place, dur ing the trouble just past, is shown i the work of Mr. C. W. Deming, rep resenting a number of leading papere. His work has been honest, and has presented a vivid picture of unforlnn' ate Brunswick in her dark hours. He has been a faithful servant, and the T.-A. delights to commend his service.—Times Advertiser. We cordially endorse the above handsome compliment to a faithful correspondent.' Mr; Deming served the Trios Entebfbise as special cor respondent daring the prevalence of the fever in Brunswick, and his dis patches were to tho poiot, void of sensational features and truthful never showed the white stood to his post during d depression which hong ick like a Mack pall. : His Trip toChicago and Im pressions of the Windy City. Chicago, Sept 4, 1893. We left you at Louisville. The most elegant railroad depot on the entire route is located there. We parted company with our friend Parker who continued on over the L. N. to Cincinnati while-we diverged to the northwest over the Pennsylvania lines. It fa a 300 mile run from Louisville to Chicago and we found it the most tedious, dusty, tiresome part if all. Our train was two hours fate. We did not consider it very healthy for Geor gia crackers to arrive in Chicago at midoightwith a lotof encumbcrenccs, hence decided to stop over night in’ Logaosport, lad., and run np to Chicago this morning. This last 100 miles was farirly .pleasant and afford, ed a vie* of the immense hay and stock farm* oi Indiana At to o’clock we rolled Into the union depot The entrance to Chica go by rail is rather disappointing to one whose anticipations are pitched upon a high scale. The distances, to be sure, are observed, feat yon do not get any real idea ot the compactness of the city nor see aoy of the floe buildings. Bot whatever oi disap pointment we felt in this respect was soon abolished after our arrival. An hour's walk on several streets prepar ed us to beg pardoa for aoy underes timation of its size, There is nothing small abont Chicago except the size of your purse after a week’s stay, and in two days longer it is oat of sight. And speaking ot distances; we are taught that ‘‘distance lends enchant ment to the view.” Sometimes it may, but really one gets vety tired of such enchantment here. From the depot to the fair it is only 9 miles. A cable car traverses the; distance in about one hour. But don’t think the depot is at one extreme of the city and the fair at the other. The longest street U Halstead and from boundary to boundary of the city it coven 24 miles. Yon might add some dozen miles through suburban settlement not incorporated. We did not visit the fair to-day; preferedtolookaronod the city and get our bearings, as it were. We need rest too. To-morrow wewillscethe elephant. Bystander, ~ Save Hay. Let our farmers devote all their spare time to saving hay. The crow foot grass and Bermuda gran make the ' very, best hay tvhen properly cured. Car loads of hay are coming to our home markets from the West and Eist, when we have better grass to make hay going to waste in our fields. Home made hay is better and eaves money to the farmer and keeps money in the state. It is better to hire help to save the hay than to have to pay a high price for an Inferior article in the winter and spring. The time spent in healing hay from the depot to farms, if used in saving hay, will feed many a head of cattle in the winter with a better quality of hay. Fill up your bams and ont-houaea, and if yon have any to spare next spring,. there will be a good market for the surplus. The above, taken from the Consti tution, should appeal to the good judgment and common sense of every farmer in Thomas county. Let a re form, in tho matter of saving this valuable forage be inaugurated in this section, Tho subject fa worthy the attention and careful thought of every farmer in Georgia. The Hay Crop, We have recently, on more than one occasion, called attention to the importance of saving hay by the farm era of Thomas county. Within the past few months, owing to the failure of that crop in Europe, great ship loads of hay have been sent across (be water. Thomas county ought not only to make her own forage, bat she ought to export it. It is suicide to be buying hay from the West- Refering to this matter the Atlant a Journal says: It fa not only lamentable—it is » reproach—that so many bales cf north ern and western hay are almost daily carried out of Atlanta ter supply- provender for the feeding of stock in the country. It is mostly very poor feed—cut at the wrong time and deficient in the needed nutrim: r. The fields of the “laid by” corn are now generally covered with a grow-A of grass of the very beet kind, much superior tomest of the imported straw, from other states. If cut at the right time, it will be found much more suoculent than the refuse hay shipped to ns from the north; and now is the right time to cat and save a great deal of it. Farmers who neglect to do so, and who are in consequence forced winter or spring to buy imported hay with the scant proceeds of their cotton crope, will then me the neglect. There is no better grass than either our common crab-grass or Bermuda. It fa a volunteer offering to the scythe or the sickle of onr-Georgia farmers, and they permit the waste of one of their important resources by neglect- ing to avail themselves of it. imend the following to the consideration ol the farm- Thomas county.- The Augusta Chronicle says: The cotton crop of last year is re ported at 6,450,000 bales. That is about the right size. Let the fanners of the South hold it down to these figures for a year or so more; and con tinue to raise their food crops at home, and they will sell their cotton at ten cents a pound and be the most inde- ■prudent people on the globe. Mr. Geo. Ferrill has joined the feeohelor’e table at the Stnart. The New York Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade win recommend to the Ways sod Means Committee of Congress the adoption of a specific rate of duty on all description of foreign leaf to bacco of 35 cents per pound. There never was any good reason for the imposition of the Ipreseift $2 tax bo Sumatra tobacco. This country does not sod cannot produce a satisfactory substitute for the Sumatraagsr wraps The imposition of- the higher duty bv the McKinley act was a need less injury to the cigar industry and a tax upon every smoker in the land for the benefit of a few tobacco grow ers in New Eigland, where there fa a limited production ot leaf suitable tor wrappers lor which it waa hoped to make a more profitable, althoogh the Sumatra leaf is vastly superior. The above from lone of our northern exchanges will interest gentlemen here who arc engaged rathe manufacture ol c’gars. Tho-53rd Congress will make some important changesjo the tariff, and tobacco and cigars will be among the articles affected. It looks like there would be a row over tho distribution of' the relief fund sent to Brunswick. This will be nothing new in such cases. EDITORIAL BRIER*. Paragraphs of PromineW Fithy Things and Peopo. To the senate: Vote 1 Business is reviving all over the country. The trial of Lewis Redwine will not take place until December. There are only two mote holidays this year, Thanksgiving' Day and Christmas. Jack Ciancey left last night for Thomasville.

Mr, Ciancey, daring his stay here, made a host ot friends who would gladly welcome him here this winter as one of the hotel proprietors of the Metropolis ol South Georgia. It is beginning to be understood that the stock of goods in the country has ran low. With the continued improvement in financial conditions tho mills will fihd plenty to do in fill ing orders. The outlook for fail trade and manufactures baa grown very much brighter in the last two weeks. The only unfavorable condition now is the sen&eless an unpatriotic delay of tha Senate in acting upon the Wil son repeal bill. It would be difficult to find in parliamentary anna's a parallel to tbe Senate’s present con duct. It is bard to imagine a more stupid procedure than that oi Sena tors who are using up day :i!ter day dreary speecbeB, to which nobody pays any attention, and ia obutiaate and useless opposition t> the passage of a bill which is certain to be t?n;u:ied soon as a vote can fce reached.— New York Times Here's a sensible and practical suggestion from the Macon Evening News: “If the farmer would set apart a portion ot his land for fruit and veg etables he could have something to sell nearly every month tn the year. In the spnng months there are aspar- aguvpeas, beets, beans, strawberries, raspberries. Summer, peaches, plums, grapes and melons/* This is respectfully referred to the farmers of this vicinity. 1 be country ia tired of the long winded speeches in the aenate. A i >te ia what’s wanted.
