The Desperado Captured by
Sheriff Doss Yesterday.
Plummer, the noted negro des
perado, who has terrorized the lower
portion of this county and defied the
officers of this State and Florida for
a number of months, was captors
ed yesterday by Sheriff Doss and
is now securely - confined in the
Thomas county jail.
Plummer is one of the most des
perate criminals that ever infested
this county. He is a large ginger
cake colored negro, about twenty-
eight years of age, six feet two inches
high and weighs over two hundred
pounds. The crime for which he is
wanted was committed in Florida,
and there is a reward of one hun
dred dollars offered for the delivery
of him to the authorities of that
State.
He has been kuown to he in this
section of the country for some time,
but his cajeure could not be effected.
Those who were o«»t afraid of him he
managed to elude.
Yesterday upon receipt of the news
that Randolph Horn bad been killed
on the Jordan place some fifteen
miles from town Sheriff Doss went
down. While the iuq tost was being
hed, eo'xo one reported having seen
Piunimer a few miles down the road.
Sheriff Doss secured a negro to go
with him to point the man out and
started off. When he drove up to the
houre in which Plummer was suppos
ed to be he saw the negro sitting
down just inside, lie had a large
pistol buckled on him, but the Sheriff
never showed his own arms, butcaLed
to him in a commanding tone of
v«»ice f “Come here, Plummer.”
Strange to say ihe negr • obeyed, not
even pretending to draw bis pistol.
When he reached the cart ihe Sher
iff told him to get in which he did.
Plummer asked a few questions about
the warrant on which tie was arrested,
but otherwise did not show the slight
est disposition to resist. Sheriff Doss
disarmed him aod drove to town
without handcuffing him.
Sheriff D-.i?8 u to be congratulated
on his capture. The negro is a bad
one, and nothing but ihe Sheriff's cool
audacity in commanding him to come
to him and get in the buggy would
have made him quietly surrender.

the picture of heahh. O.i that day

popular has he tendered himself and
so thorough and satisfactory have
been his labors that for many years
there has not been the slightest oppo

equally popular. Upright and honor

A gentleman in this city recently
wrote to Horn H. CT.-Turner at
Washington taking him to look into
the present mail schedule between
here and New York. Mr. Turner
went to see the Superintendent of
Railway Mail Service, who furnished
him the following explanation of the
matter:

and ThomasviUe, Ga., I beg to state
that I have carefully gone over the
schedules and find that mail dis

Mr. Randolph Horn Shot In His
Store In the Lower Part
Of the County
News waa brought to town yester
day of the killing of MiC'B. R. Horn
at his store in the lower part of the
countyr
Coroner Johnson and Sheriff Doss
went down to the scene of the killing
yesterday morning. The Coroner
summoned a jury and held an inqust
over the remains. The evidence in
troduced showed that Mr. Horn was
in his store waiting on a customer
when two shots were fired from the
outside by an unknown party. Both
loads took efiect in Mr. Horn’s breast
and he fell to the floor exclaiming
that he was shot. He only lived a
few minutes.
The Coroner’s jury returned the
following verdict:
State op Georgia—Thomas Co.
Sept. 16,1893.
We, the jury sworn by the Coroner
to investigate the cause of the death
of B. R. Horn find that the deceased
came to his death on the night of

Mr., Horn was a man ot about 30
years ot age. He came originally
from North Carojioa, but has been
living in this county for a number of
years. He bore a good character and
everybody is at a loss to know who
fired the fatal shots, a* he was not
known to have any enemies. He was
engaged in farming and runuing a
country store and was doing fairly
well.
Some of Horu’s friends think that
Plummer, the negro desperado who
has been making that neighborhood
headquarters, committed the deed.
They say that Horn had set saveral
traps to catch him, and that the negro
found it out aud took this menus of
avenging himself. Piummer wasar-
reated yesterday by Sheriff Does only
a short distance from the scene of the
til ing. He says he had nothing to
do with it end can prove an alibi —

his way into the hearts and affections

To the People of Georgia. I am just

yeUow fever in Brunswick. It is now
plainly evident that the fever will be

vided a fund upon which I can draw
for the relief of this stricken city.
I appeal to the generous hearted
people of the State to organize boards
of relief in their several communities
for the purpose of furnishing money
and provisions to the destitute and
suffering at Brunswick.
I urgently beg that this matter be
taken up at once in order that the
suffering people may be assured of
our sympathy&nd comforted by our
contributions.

local organ'zation at Brunswick, all.

Farewell’' Said Mrs. Duggan
That is the salutation that fell to
the hailing crowd as tho West bound
train left Sunday evening. It was
from the lips of Mrs. Amanda Dug
gan, a woman that has perambulated
the streets and avenues of Valdosta,
for many years. She was ft vendor of
needles aud such articles. In this
manner she provided bersjH with the
staff of life.
Mrs. Duggan created eoiue distur
bance in her rounds. She c irried a
long mattress needle with her. With
this she proposed bleeding our efficient
postmaster. He objected. She was
tried for luaacy; and pronounced of
unsound miud, but was released on
the.condition that she behave herself.
Several months ago, the found the
name of Mr. Jim Roberts in a matri
monial paper published at Chicago.
He was at Barr City, Col. She wrote
to him. A correspondence was the
seque’; and that resulted in her bid
ding farewell to Georgia friends and
going to her lover.
Her two trunks were marked with
heart shaped labels. On one side was:
' "Mr. Jim Roberts.
Barr City. Col.
Don’t brake the heart.”
On the other side was the inscrip
tion:
"From A.M. E. Duggan,
Lowndes, Co. Valdosta, Ga.”
Her future consort has reported
himee'f in good circumstances, and
she expects to share comfort with her
husband. Her only fear in the Wes!
The Need of Horse Racks.
The need for bitching posts and
horse racks is becoming greater every
day and is clearly apparent to even
tho casual observer. During the past
week and especially on Friday and
yesterday, when there was an un*
usually large number of country
wagons in town, the lack of these
conveniences was very noticable.
Now ThomasviUe is catering to the
country trade, they want and invite
the farmer to cjme here and do his
trading and sell his produce, but
when ho comes he is forced to leave
some one to watch his team or else
run the risk of being prosecuted for
hitching them to shade trees or pri
vate fences There is but one rack-
and it is only alnut ten feet long—in
town to which the hundreds oi far
mers who come here to trade can
hitch their stock. This is not as it
should be. The city, the merchants
or somtbKly tliould have a number
of racks put up at convenient places.
We hope somebody will move in the
matter at once.

Mrs. Duggan was not financially
able to make the trip. She got 840.00

To The City Fathers. x
September 16th, 1893.
Times-Enterpexse: .
In your paper the other day you.
had a paragraph that there was some
"lively kicking over the new sewerage
law.”’ When the sewer waa recently
placed in one of the principal blocks
of the town, the subscriber suggested
to the council, by written communi
cation, that a place of convenience
for the public be put iu each of the
foot business blocks at the expense
of, and maintained by the city. An
ordinance was passed about that time
that after September first, every one
in the block, where the sewer was
placed should connect with same, or
if not so doing, shou d maintain the
cleanliness at their own expense.
The effect is, that you shall go to the
expense of making the proper con
nections, or yon shall at your own
expense clean these places, which is
done now by the carts, and for which
each tax payer pays.
Now granting that this is done,
which only provides for private use,
what will the public do? those iu
town who have no conveniences of
their own, and more than all, those
who come from the country for mark
eting and purchasing. Some of these
can use the privileges of their friends,
but all can not have this liberty.
They must therefore impose upon
private individuals between whom
there is no reciprocal interest, aud at
some expense to the individual, or
bear the consequences to their health,
or use improper places.
Either of these contengencies
should not be. The towa is a* much
interested in the comfort of the pub
lic as is the individual, and should
provide that comfort. The individ
ual is taxed to the expense of pro
viding individual conveuiencea, and
taxed, as a result of the policy of the
town, by the inconveniences of the
use by the public of private af
fairs, This individual is doubly
taxed.
That merchant who does not make
sewer connections is pnt to the ex
pense of keeping his premieesin order,
and yet the to «n has carts to do tkr.
This individual is a*eo doubly taxed.
The city may have legal tight to en
force this. Is it just?
It would seem that tho city ehould
be broader and more liberal iu their
expenditures in certain directiona,
and in this particular matter the ad
ditional expense is very small.
In many ways our city aud mer
chants would g**t the beuefits of
trade accureiug from such a policy as
will make our country people feel
more at liberty when they are among
