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.

Seldom has our community beeu so suddenly shocked or more deeply pained than it wai yesterday morning at the announcement that Henry Rogers was dead He -vus in the prime of life and up to Friday was the picture of heahh. O.i that day he was tak* n ill, but so slight stemed iheallsik th at no fears were aroured ; imperatively few ot his friends were apprised of his sickness. Dur ing Sunday the disease developed into congestion of the b iwcl*, an 1 at 2 n Monday lie expired. Mr. Rogers was one ot the best known well as most highly esteemed citizens' of the county. For twenty years or more he has held the responsible po sition of County Surveyor, and so 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 sition to him. As a citizen he was equally popular. Upright and honor able in all his dealings, he enjoyed the respect and confidence of all the peo pie. In the death of W. H. Rogers Thomas county has lost a faithful officer and a good citizan. The fune ral services - will he held at the resi dence on Warren street at 9 a, m. to-day, conducted by deceased’s pastor, Rev. J. R. Battle, assisted by Rev. D. H, Parker. Iaterment in Lauiel Hill cemetery.—Daily T.-E. Sept 19. 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: Cooceruiog delays to mails iu tian«* sit between New York, Washington and ThomasviUe, Ga., I beg to state that I have carefully gone over the schedules and find that mail dis patched by train No. 35—Atlantic Coast Line—(Plant System) from New York at 9 30 a. m. and from Washington at 3.46 p. m. arrives at Ashley Junction at 5.12 a. m , leaves Ashley Junction 5.28 a. m., arrives at TVaycro-s 1114 a. m., leaves Way- cross 1.35 a m., and arrives at Thom as ville 6.25 a. m., being in tranrit 39 hours You will notice by examining this schedule that tho connection is broken at Way cross the mails carried by 35 to that point lying there from 1114 a. m. one day to 1.35 a. m next day, a delay of 14 hours. Mail dispatched by No. 23 leaving New YoVk at 9 p. m. and Washing ton at 4 30 a. m., arrives at Ashley Junction at 1.20 a. m., leaves Ashley Junction 1 25 a. m., arrives at Way* cr «s 9 15 a. m., leaves Waycross at 9 25 a. m , and arrives at Thoraas- ville 1.02 p. m , time in transit 32 hours. This time is slower from Washington to Waycross than 35, but as it makes close connections at Way crow with the train for Thom- aiville the time in transit is shorter Mail dispatched from New York at 4.20 a m. and from Washington by the Richmond and Danville Railroad —train No. 35—at 10.10 a. m., ar rives at Charlotte at 10.10 p. ra., leaves Charlotte 11,25 p. m., arrives at Atlauta 6.10 a. m., leaves Atlanta 8 a. m., arrives at Albany, Ga, 3.45 m.; time in trausit 31 hours. When fast mail service was in op eration on the Atlantic Coast Line, the mail reached ThomasviUe at 1.02 The best possible for them now is 6.30 p. m. the same day, cxn cept when dispatched by No. 23 r f the Coast Line (Plant 8ystem) when they leave Washington earlier and without the morning connection from New York, and arrive at ThomasviUe at 1.02 p. m. There is no way open to improve the time in transit of mails between New York, Washimgton and Thom as ville under the present schedules of railroad trains. Nothing can he done in the way of expediting this mail until the roads quicken their time, au 1 this they claim they cannot d>,so long ns their business remains in its present stagnant condition Very respectfully, James E. White, Gen’l Supt. 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 Sept. 15ih, 1893, from wouuds in flicted in the breast with a gun in the hands of some uuknown person or perarns. We consider die kill mur** der. J. P. McCollum, Foreman. R. B. Mardre, John W. Carroll, L. P* Wilson, N. J. Milton, W. Y. Cochrau, W. E. Cochran. 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 — Drily T.-E. Sept. 17. Rev. D. H. Parker Recalled, The regular annual call lor a pastor in the Baptist church on last Sunday resulted iu recalling Rev. D. H. Parker. Whi'e this is what every one expected, it is nevertheless wel come news, for not only has he won his way into the hearts and affections of his own denomination, but into thore of all other denominations and classes of our citizens. He has proven himself a wise and prudent shepherd, and in recalling him his flock has done honor to itself and given satisfaction to the community. A Plea for School Children. Editor Tlmes Enterprise: You are an unmarried man, it is true, but that is no reason why you should not listen to the appeals of the children. If you will look at the map you will see there are only two streets, Fletcher aid Jackson, that the girls need to go to the college in Fletcher- ville. We demand these streets and •ay no barrooms should be allowed on them. Let the men and barrooms have the other streets, but give us our school streets, Puella. Rev. W. E. Mumford This well known divine preached a very interesting sermon in the Metb odist church on Sunday morning, and by request delivered at night his popular lecture on "Marriage and Making a Home.” So well pleased were those who heard Mr. Mumford before that the eimp’e announcement that he would repeat his lecture was all that was necessary to bring these and many others out to hear him again. A full house greeted him aud none went away disappointed. Dr. E. J.

The following appeal to the people of Georgia for aid for the yoUow fever sufferas of Brunswick has j 1st been issued by Gov. Northen. It explains itself and should, as it doubtless wlU, meet a speedy and generous response from the people all over the Bute. Read the appeal and do what you can to relieve the suffering: State of Georgia, Executive Depart ment, Atlanta, Ga., Sept. x6. 1893,— To the People of Georgia. I am just in receipt of a telegram from Hon. Thomas W. Lamb, mayor, informing me of the continued spread of the yeUow fever in Brunswick. It is now plainly evident that the fever will be come epidemic. The general assembly has not pro 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. Until we have luriher notice of the local organ'zation at Brunswick, all. funds and provisions forwarded to Hon. Thomos W. Lamb, mayor, will be properly distributed. W. J. North en, Governor. Until our people shaU have had time to organize a board of relief for the collection and transmission ot funds for the suffering, we suggest to those who are willing to help that they deposit their donations with either ot the banks. 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. England Quarantines. Washington, Sept. 15 —England has declared New York an infected port, and all vessels leaving New York since Sept 1st are quarantined seven days at English ports. was of the Indians. This she almost ceased to entertain, having p’aced utter confidence in the protecting arms of her husband. Mrs. Duggan was not financially able to make the trip. She got 840.00 from her son and gave him her house and lot Her ticket cost $36.55. Traveling expenses will necessarily be something. Hence her cash will be exceedingly slim when she reaches Colorado —Valdosta Telescope. Mrs. Duggan is well remembered in ThomasviUe. \V bile it is trne that she frequency made herself disagree able, yet she is a woman, 'and, virtu ally, alone in the world, and as*" such is entitled to the sympathy of all,. It is to be feared that her visions of married bliss in Colorado will not materialize. Poor woman. ' Mr. W. A.

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 Brunswick has fallen out with Dr, Guiteras. They may regret this. And now they talk about keeping the big fair open until the 1st ol Jan uary. The bulls appear to be on top and it looks like cotton would continue to rise. The name Esther, given to the white house baby means “a star” and "good fortune.” The Savannah Press is down on the star chamber proceedings of Sa vannah’s board of health. Silver still rings in the senate; anil ringing voices are heard all over the country, demanding a vote. The yellow fever will not have long to run in Brunswick. Jack frost will be aloog before a great while. We are growing too restrictive our policy, aud as illustrative I quote you when you said the ether day that a stranger baa uot even a place to hitch his horse. Where people leel that they aru welcome by being made comfortable, there they wall sell and buy. T. M. McIntosh. Richmond, Va, Sept. 16.—The steamship Rappahannock, the initial steamer of the new ocean line, oper ated by. the Cbesapeak and Ohio Riilroad Company, sailed from New port News, Va., yesterday evening for Liverpool with a miscellaneous cargo of freight, equal to 250 carloads. In<» eluded in her freight was 1,275 hogs heads of tobacco, which is the largest single shipment of tobacco ever made from a Virginia port. The democrats ot Georgia should be awake and active. The third party is agressively at work. Tom Watson is making his rpecch- ei all over the Slate, and is listened to by large numbers ol whites and blacks. His appeal? are made 10 the poor, and he never fails to devote a part of his sdiress to the blacks. He is arraying class against class, teaching the . thousands who toil on the farm that they are robbed of the fruits of their labor, and that their deliverance lies in following the third party. There is no time to be lost. Let every democrat go to work to counter act Watson’s influence and let the party organizations be kept up. There is going to be a hot fight next ye?i and we may as well begin to prepare for it, and not let Watson get too much the start.—Atlanta Herald. Q-iincy, Fia.

Loss, .$20,000 insurance on building $2,000 in Liverpool and London and Globe; on tobacco $10,000; $5,000 in Hartford, $2,500 in the /Etna, and the rest di vided. The cause of the fire is un known. The correspondent of the News writing from Brunswick, refers to the scenes at the depot when hundreds were leaving after the fever had bet-n declared epidemic. He says: During the hurry and bustle ot leaving to* day many nailed up their stores and then fled.

The city should look after Springfield plantation and all other places of a similar character. ere, wives and children stood by the train, crying as if their hearts wou’d break as they imprinted kisses on their loved ones’ lips, probably the last they will ever give. Strong men turned aside, with tears welling from their eyes, as they viewed the affect ing scene, and the prayers that were offered in that crowd were many, bnt silent and sineexe. Atlanta’s chief of police collared one J. B. Osborn, a labor agitator the other night and lodged him in the lock up. Osborn has been har- aoging the worst elements in Atlanta and his advice, if followed, would culminate in trouble. Mr. Osborn is posing as a socialist with a tendency toward anarchism. The South should squelch him and all bis sort with a promptness calculated to make their heads swim.
