Mr. Goehring is a thor> ugh gentleman and a finished woik man aud we trust he may do well. The * no fence” question is being discussed by many of .the farmers, In the Bouthern pinion of the county the law fa gaining ground. Many who opposed it when voted on some years ago are now enthusiastic for it. Whenever it has been generally adopted in this section a brighter era will have dawned. Mr C. W. Wiggios, who was one of the many who returned to Bruns wick when the quarantine was raised aud fied again when :he city was quarantined, has been spending his probation at Ochlockonee. Tuesday ife went over to see him, and she is quarantined there till Charley’s time is out. The authori* ties are taking no ricks.

But for his Indefatigable zeal, his indomitable energy, his untiring perseverance and his unwavering faith in the Lord’s promise to help those who put their trust in him, it is doubtful if dirt would have been broken for many months yet to come. It is true that be has been ably as sfated both in and out of his church, but he has worked in the lead. Editor Times Enterprise: I wish to endorse your remarks in your issue oi 5th iost. protesting against opening schools so early. This is the hottest and sickliest season of the year and the long walks, close confinement and hard study is very trying on a child’s mind and body, My little girl c?me home this afters noon hot, feverish and worn out with the day’s experience. I am strongly ioclioed to stop her from attendance until the weather is more favorable. A Patbon. Perhaps there fa no one subject just now upon which the local mind fa more interested than that of a public school. The liig bygbear seems to be the supposed increase of the rate of taxation. We publish elsewhere communication from **M” which set forth the probable cost of running the necessary number of public schools, and the sources from which the money would be raised. From his showing the increase in the taxed would be eo light as to be scarcely appreciable by the payer. If he is correct, 1 and he fa a clear and level-headed gentleman, there should be no more objection offered on the score of burdensome taxes. Read what he says. Five Negroes Jailed. Sheriff Does arrested five negroes Tectday evening upon warrants sworn out by F. H. Horne, brother of Randolph Horn who was recently murdered near Audlla. They Bully Hagans, Abe Glass, Richmond Glass. Merritt Glass and Curry Flow ers. A warrant was also issued against John Plummer, who was already in jail. What evidence there may be to fasten the murder of Mr. Horn upon these parties we have not The No Fence Law. Thomasville* Ga., Sept 19, ’93 Times-Enterprise: Dear Captain—Will you kindly gitc through your columns the law in e to-the no fence question. In my opinion there is no one thing that the fanners of the southern sec tion of the county could do that would bring more prosperity than the adops tion of the no fence law. The law is in force in Florida and has proven highly satisfactory there as it has in every other instance. There is more hogs now in -Leon oounty than for yean. It is claimed that the no fence law is the only remedy for hog cholera, as each farmer’s hogs are kept within his own enclosure and can not carry the infection to his neighbbr’s hogs, as they do when al lowed to run at large. Respectfully, J. S. Montgomery. We have not the law at hand and therefore cannot qnote it literal ly, but if we mistake not, the law per mils the adoption of the “no fence” law either by countip or by militia districts. Petitions by citizens ot the county, or by citizens of the district if only district elections are to be held, must be made to the Ordinary, whose duty it becomes to give the necessary publicity and order the election. Election to be held iu the same man ner as eleciiocs for members of the legislature. A district cannot ad-»pi part, hut 111 ust adopt as a whole. Counties or districts adopting ‘ no fenij” or the “stock law” must be fenced against the depredations of »Wck from without. This is done under direction of the Ordinary and by a tax levied upon the taxable property of the county or the district, as the case may be. This fa the substance of the law, and fa enough to enlighten those inter ested on the subject as to what fa necessary in order to secure a vote on the question. We heartily endorse the views of our correspondent in regard to the enefits that would accrue to the peo pie of iho southern portion of the county. But while they especially need it, we believe it would prove a great blessing to the whole county. For several yeais the writer has noted the effect of the stick law in those sections of the state which have adopted it, and withuul a single ex ception they have b.eu benefitted. Io all these sections milk, butter and bacon are more plentiful and a greater per cent of the. farmers have money head. Wherever the law has been adopted it has proveu a b'essing, and the sooner Thomas county adopts it either iu whole or iu part, the sooner will come greater prosperity to her farmers. We are aware that this, like all other new men-urea. has its opponents, hi 1 we leel certain that the arguments me iu favor of the law. We trust that the j* nil* wil give the subject careful thought un i that all controversies or discussions that may arise will be conducted iu a spirit of conservalivenesa. WHO THEY ABE. THE AUTHORITIES HAVE HAT TERS WELL IN HAND. Only One New Case Yesterday— Five Hundred People Sent to Camp Hutton—Relief Coming in Slowly—A complete List of the Sick Given. The Public School System Mr. Editor : While the public tcLool question being discussed, allow me to answer an objection I have heard a.gocd deal of talk on the streets to the effect that it would necessitate a large increase in tax<s. It is estimated that it would require about $11,500 a year to run four schools, two white and two for negroes, iu each, oue for boys and one for girls. This fa on a basis of 800 pupils and sixteen teachers and a superintendent with salaries in keeping with thoee paid by the cities of the state. Now where will this money come from? In the first place, from admission fees. It fa usual to charge something in all the public school systems of which I know, and the amount runs from $2 to $10 a year. Put ours at a medium of $5. This would give for 800 pupils. $4,000. Next the pub’ic school fund of the state fa about $5 for each pupil. This gives another $4,000. Then regular tuition should be charged those residing outside the corporate limits, aud there would certainly be enough of these to bring in $1,000. We have then $9,000 without a cent of direct tax. The tax returns of the city are over $2,000,000, that 124 cents on the $100 would raise the remaining $2,500 needed. So that where a man now pays $1.00 taxes he would then pay $1.25. It fa surprising to see how cheaply the system could be run. Ttxe advan* tage comes in bringing children to gether into few schools, so that time and consequently teachers, and con sequently money can be saved. Then having a system on a solid and per manent basis makes teachers more certain of permanent employment and of receiving their pay, and this, of cou'se, secures better teachers. According to the constitutional provision the city council must take the iui.iitory step. Let us hear from it, and then let us have the school system. _ M. Inspector Walter Campbell re ceived a small box yesterday. The box contained a small stone, a scor pion and a note which read as fol lows: Enclose please find the smallest yellow fever microbe from the body of C. W..Wiggin& <*oad) Special to Times-Kktcrmuse.] Brunswick, Ga , Sept . 19.—- One.new case of fever to-day, that of child to house. Patient now under treatment. Name withheld from publication under penalty of arrest by board of health. This arbitrary rule is creating intense dissatisfaction throughout the country and will probably be abolished to-morrow. Surgeon Faget sent five hundred people to camp Hutton to-day for detention, and the population fa rapid* lj decreasing. The armed Cordon around the dty was reinforced by water patrol to-day, and no one will be allowed to leave the dty-except through camp The census of the dty fa being taken by mounted men. All immunes will be driven out of the dty and none allowed to return before heavy .fiost. Relief w being distributed slowly on account of lack of supplies. Hun dreds of hungry people now here, and no food yet to feed them. Relief beginning to arrive and dis* tress will shortly be alleviated partial iy. The dty is under government con trol with Mayor Lamb working in har mony with them. The street cars were stepped to-day and business was practically suspend* ed. later. Below I give the complete list oi names of the people under treatment for yellow fever in Brunswick. They are: Mrs. Sarah Turner and her 5 year- old daughter. .Mrs, Elizabeth Stokes, on E. s'reet, Newtown. Mrs. Sarah Smith, Newtown. Archy H. Smith, on Monk street. Miss Rosa Nissi, New Castle street, over Krauss' bakery. Mrs. Crane and Willie Crane, New town. James Sinclair, Cypress Mil s. Mrs. J. N. Brock aDd Johnnie Brock, io same house. Mrs. W. M. Lucrec, Mr*, H. C. Smith and Geo. Clark, at tour mile crossing. Mrs. Sinclair, Cypress Mills. Two children of J. F. Norris, Ess* Tenn. ticket agent. Sam Ward and child. These names are unofficial and secured from personal canvass of Brunswick. No member of the board has divulged heas names. I do not publish them in defiance of anybody, although it may be so considered. I have been threatened with punish ment if I wire names without authori ty from the board. The list is abso lutely correct, and does not include any eusptets or names of people sick with other complaints. No «fficial record fa more complete than this. The health board claim to have the law on their side in demanding that names be suppressed and -say they will enforce the law. If any effort is made to enforce that law I have been proffered assistance in the way of amp'e bond by responsible men. believe it my duty to publish there names. The pnb'io demands them and have a right to know. The Health Board is wrong in sup prearing these names. O. W. Cole, manager of the Brunswick Ice Com pany, has been reported rick on the streets, but complete diagnosis late tauight by Drs- Butts, Murray and Fagetdoea not authorize his case being pronounced yellow fever, and this is sent to stop the false report. A Canning Factory. We are aware that this subject has often been dfacuesed here and that there are those who think it imposs ible to organize a stock company for any purpose just at this time. We be’ieve firmly in the adage that “where there fa a'will there fa a way," and we are as ‘ profoundly impressed now as ever that this is one of tfie pressing needs of our country. And we still believe that the people, jehen they see the thing in its true light, will take hold and push the matter to a successful issue.' A canning factory, like a good system of publio schools, would benefit, either directly or in directly, every man, woman and child in the county. And when any. meas ure fa general in its effects—will in ure to the public welfare—it fa alike the duty and the interest of eyery one to lend a helping hand. This Is _ the spirit that builds cities, erects fac tories, locates railroads, rears churches and establishes schools; and just a little oHt exercised sow will secure a canning factory in our midst in time for the next crop. A factory here would not only save and render valuable the large quan tity of pears and other fruits and vegetables that now go to wasted but would make a market for thousands of dollars worth of artie’ea not now raised, such as corn, English peas, beans, okra, cucumbers, tomatoes, pumpkins, etc. This would diversity production, bring - money in at a dull season, relieve the producer, benefit the merchant and improve business in all.. lines. Fifteen thousand dollars would be ample for a factory of suf ficient capacity to consume all the Block that could be raised in the coun ty. Heretofore there has been one drawback—the lack of a practical man to become identified with the en terprise There fa a gentleman, Mr. E. A. Nisbet, of Nisbet, Ala., who wants to locate here. He has been active in organizing two canning establishments and fa familiar with all departments connected with one. He says that a $15,000 factory, properly run, will certainly pay It prr cent. He favors the plan, if large stockholders can not be had, of di viding the stock among all the peo p’e—farmers, fruit growers, gardeners, merchants aud others—and collect it in monthly installments of 10 per cent- This would come very light on the stockholders His plan would ba to start ts soon as possible so as to put producers oh notice iu time for spriug p’anting. Ha fa willing to take stock, to superintend the build* ing and putting in the machinery, running the ea.ablfahment and mar- k ting the goods. He proposes to give satisfactory inferences and to do whatever may b j r< quired of him by l:e company, it organized. He ex pects to be in ThomaaviUe soon, and if the people will take an interest in the matter he will take off his coat ud go to work. A factory would prove a wise investment fur the peos pie of the countv even if the stock donated, which will not be asked, and we throw out these scattering re ex's'ere- detracts correspondingly marks that the pub'ic spirited and the value of the teaching done intelligent may give some thought to io them. With a halt dozin or more Business Increasing. Mr- W. H. Mitchell hu just re turned from a two weeks' visit to Chicago and other western cities whither he went In the interest of the Cabana City Cigar Co., of which he fa a member. He says that the goods of this company are taking well wherever they have been introduced, and that consider ing the general depression felt by all lines of business, he did much better than he anticipated. He placed so many orders that the company finds it necessary to increase their manu facturing force. While similar factories are closed or running with light force it speaks well for Thomasville that her factories should have to increase. What will be the result when the cigars made here become generally known on the markets of the nation ? Farmer*, look to jour fodder stacked in the field a. Thera bfs appeared in oar section a smooth, brown colored worm, which is doing great damage to the fodder stacked in the fields. The fodder should bo taken down at once, and the worm* carefully shaken out, and if practicable stored in a cool barn. _. - 8. Fxbmee. 5 miles N. Tbonarvilfe.

The Fever Strikes the Colored Popula tion-Two New Cases, Both Colored— Snrgcon Murray Urges An Appeal to the People of the United States—Three- Fifths of the Population In Want—Col ton Can Be Shipped B/ The Brunswick Terminal Company-Phosphate Care to Be Fumigated. _ Special to Tiv*s-Err*xpxux. 4 Brunswick, Ga., Sept 21.—Odly one death from the lever to* day, Mrs. Winkler, mother of Charles Winkler, a white barber. There were two sew cases, Lola Scott and Sarah Bland, both mulat- toes. There are seventeen cases now under treatment One, Mrs. .Turner, will be discharged to-morrow. Surgeon Murray appeared, before the board again to-day, unofficially, and stated that the' fever was light in Brunswick, and he anticipated no farther trouble in handling it, and expected the mortality to be small and said that the people needed food though, and that official census shows fiye thousand two hundred here yet, two-fifths of whom are white, and three-fifths of the en tire population remaining need food, were utterly destitute and had no work to do to make money. He urged the board to issue statemen of the condition of the people and ap peal to the people of the United States for relief. The board instructed Col. Goodyear to draw up a statement and appeal to President Churchill, of the Bruns wick Terminal Co., in the commer cial interest of the city. Advices were received to-night by cable from Liverpool that foreign ports wou’d handle all cottoa sh ipped from the company’s docks three miles from Brunswick, and that interior cot ton shippers .need have no fear of sending cotton to Brunswick. Paosphate fa being shipped here daily and Surgeon Murray his arrang ed a fumigating apparatus at Camp Detention where all phosphate cars will be disinfected before being re* urn ed to their destination. The Public School System Conyers carried public schools in an election there on Saturday, by a vote of 225 to 39, and the town will be supplied forthwith with a first class public school system*—Atlanta Jour nal. Heie is certaioly a pointer for Thomasville. Conyers is a place with a pcpu’ation of opt over two thousand, with far less preteosi than Thomasville, yet she, other stilt smaller towns, points the way to educational progress and leaves Tnomasville behind. It is a well known fact, that the days 0! private rchools in large communities aTe passed. The smuggle for their intelligent may give some thought the matter be.'ore Mr. Nfabet returns. Confederate Veterans. The call published iu our Suud&y’s issue for a meeting of the Confederate Veterans Association of Thomas county cn the 23rd ot Ojt. was in correct. The date should have been Sept. 23. This mistake having gone abroad, and the time being so short for a meeting on the 23rd inst. it has been decided to change tbe time to the 30th iost., and the official call, to this effect, appears elsewhere. We would urge upon all members of the Association, and all other Confederate veterans who have not joined to attend the meeting at the office of Haosell & Merrill on Satur day, Sett. 30th, at 10:30 a. m. Twenty-eight years have e’apw.d since those who wjre the grey laid down their arms and returned to their homes and loved ones. No class of citizens have labored more cheerfully or more zealously to build up tbe places laid waste by the war than those who rfaked their lives, shed their blood and sacrificed their hea'th and fortunes in defence of the lost catise. There fa no class to day more loyal to the stars aud fitripes than these same battle-scarred, silver haired veterans of the confederacy. While not ashamed of the principles then es poosed, nor of the patriotism and chivalry so often illuitrated on the battle field, they are, and have been since the day of surrender, as loyal to the government aa they who wore the bine. Time is rapidly decimating their ranks, , and until all shall have 'crossed over the river’’ and are 'resting coder the shade of the trees," it is meet that they come together at least once a year to revive old memo rie8and to plight anew old friend ships. Remember tbe day, Saturday, Sept. 30tb, 10:30 o'clock a. w. Let every old “Confed,” who can possibly do so, be present To the Confederate Veterans of _. Thomas County.

Wherever the public graded school system has b^en introduced the Ux~ payer* and others who first opposed it soon saw their folly and the addi- tional valuation brought to real estate turned the same tax payers and kickers into the most earnest advo catts of the system. Of course such citizens are not public spirited. Their change of tactics fa based upon no appreciation of educational benefits accruing to the community, but simply upon a realization of the increase ..in the demand tor real estate and conse* quent valuation. Is it to be supposed that the tax payers of Atlanta or, if yon prefer a smaller city—Griffin or Rome—are not fully aware of what they have been doing for these many years back in their energetic and en thusiastic maintaicence of tbe public graded school system? Would not the mistake have been found in lets than two years had it existed? Can Thomasville make a mistake io copy ing the good cxtmple set her by Com yeft? Here it what the people and papers of Columbus say of their system of graded schools: ‘The educational system of Columbu3 has b eh more productive of citizenship than every thing else combined of which Columbus boasts. Its* public schools have always been generously fjsttrcd by the* city and never have the cry fathers dealt wHi them in an unstinted maocer.
