In speaking of his new charge the Ledger says: ‘The First Baptist church of Troy. Ala., of which Dr. Harris goes to take pastoral charge, is one of the very beat in the state.

The above furnishes lood for thought to the farmers of Thomas county. For years we have advised that greater attention be paid to the growing of grasses, believing that hay making could be made profitable by simply supplying the home demand. We never anticipated iu becoming an article of export and especially to lha regions so* long famous for their fiae grasses and abundant hay crops, but even this seems not an i ^possibility. It is certain that our native grasses— crab-grass, crowfoot and bermuda— when properly cured makes most excellent hay, and many who have fed both, prefer it to timothy. We are glad to see that this crop receives more attention each year, and should it ultimately rival timothy it will be come the best payiog crop in the South. But should nothing more result than the gru\v*ng enough for home coasump’ion it wi.l be a saving of many dollars to Thomas county. Monday Night. The famous play “Alabama” by Augustus Thomas, which will be pre sented at the opera house next Mon day evening, October and, has made a tnuuphal march through every large city in .the Union from New York city, where it played a whole season, to San Francisco, and irom Boston to New Orleans, taking both press acd pubho by storm and receiv ing the moat unbounded praise Irom both. The theatres have been crowded every white and it is that “Alabama” has made more money thaa any other p ay in the last ten years. “Alabama’ is a pure comedy, written on legitimate lines, without resorting to clap trap ch-peony sensation. The story is intensely mterestiog a d the scene is la d in the pic.uresque town of Talla dega, Ala. The bnllia<.t comedy will keep you hughtog all through the four acts aod the pathos may call a tear or two. “Alabama” is not a war story; it has the war for its theme, but there are no soldiers, no accoutre ments cf the barracks, no martial music and no sectionalism. It pictures He in the southern State afttr which It is called, fifteen or twenty years after the war. The company present ing ‘Alabam a’ might truly be called a sou.hern one, as many ot the members are souther, ers. As every body knows Frank C. Bangs is a Virginian and followed the fortunes of his native State for lour years during the war. Clement Bainbridge, for whom Mr. Thomas wrote the part of Capt. Davenport, was born in Maryland. William Calhoun is a member of the celebrated family of the same' name. L. P. Hicks is a native of Louisiana Belle Barron was a Vicksburg belle before she appeared upon the stage.

A Kec of Stolen Powder Explodes, Blowinft up a House and Badly Burning Four Negroes Metcalfe, Ga., Sept 28 —[Special] •The store of Mr. T. L. Rushin was burglarized on Tuesday night and robbed of a half dozen pairs of fine shoes, one dozen undershirts, snk- ber-of handkerchiefs, 15 or 20 pounds of bacon, a hall keg of powder and a valise, afid possibly other articles whose loss woulji not be easily de tected. An entrance was tfleeted through a rear window by the means of an ax and crowbar. Mr. Roahin estimates Ms loss at abnnt thirty dol lars.. No doe as to who the burglars were .until an accident probably threw, sufficient light upon the matter to warrant some arrests being made. On Wednesday night about 12 or 1 o’clock Dr. Montgomery waa hastily summoned to the bedside of Shade Lee, wile and son, all severely burned, and from the doctor we obtained Shades’ statement that he was in bed asleep and about 11 o’clock he waa awakened by sottfe one hailing at the gate, and desiring admission, aa they had some goods to show and sell. They were admitted and proved to be Gus Alexander and another negro unknown to Lee. The goods ex hibited, according to Lee’s descrip tion,-he being ignorant ol the robbery of the night before, tallied with the The Story of Alabama. “Alabama,” by Augustus Thomas, is au idyll of the bayou borders. It brings with it the soft airs and the dreamy quietude of the somnolent south. If appears to the eye with a series of pictures, breathing chiv alry and. sentiment to the ear with the musical dialect whose spell is potent and to the mind a harmonious blending of all the mellowing ■ influ ences. There is, moreover, a eigoifi cance in the success of “Alabama" which must neither be overlooked nor misunderstood by those who observe the stage with the eyes of earnest well wishers. Mr. ThomasT play is a bold step in the direction of the ideal. Other aathore have kept to beaten piths. Mr. Thomas has thrown aside threatricalism and aU the clap trap that the term embraces and has written a drama upon simple uncon ventional lines. He has demonstrated that art need not be artificial and that love not even in these times divested of idyllic thought or sweet soul quality. ' “Alabama” is a story of the south. It u domestic in char- acter add is said to be so true to na ture that it seems'as if the author had carved out a slice of “Alabama" and set it on the stage. It is a story with some of the incidents dating back to the ^ar. Briefly told the scheme ot “Alabama” is: Col. Preston, an old planter, is the father, of Harry Pres ton, a railroad projector who comes to the place under the name of Capt. Davenport. He chose the side of the north during the' war, and so became estranged from his father, To-the Ladies.

Lee wanted to eee some powder, and poured some oat of the can into a cap, and in attempting to return it to the can some was spilled on the floor. Alexander told him to dip it oat of the cup with a spoon and pour back the can. The last, a small quans tity in the spoon, was tossed in the fire, which, blazing up, caused the grains on the fi >or to catch, which in tarn ignited the can, causing an ex plosion of such tremendous force that blew every shingle from the roof, the rafters from one side and every board from the walls of the house, leaving it a perfect wreck. Lee was so badly burned the skin will peel from two thirds of the body, his wife about one third and the boy severely burned about the face, neck and feet. The doctor thinks the chances for Lee’s recovey extremely small. The strange negro has not been seen or heard from since. The last heard of Alexander he waa going a lively gait across the wood*, com plaining terribly of his bums and saying he wou’d die.

The handkerchief was removed by some one and disclosed to view one of the wont looking sights imaginable- Ihe facj was burned black and was swollen until the eyes could scarcely be opened at all. Hia hands and feet were io a similar condition. He could talk but the most persistent inquiry fai'ed to get much out of him. He looked as tkough he had encountered the butt end oi a fourth of July celebration. Marshal Han cock turned his prisoner over to Sheriff Doss, who locked him up. Notwithstanding Alexander’s horrible appearance, and his apparent inabili ty to help himself in the least, h9 had no sooner been locked up than he expressed a desire to eat, and upon bsiog supplied with food, devoured it with an avidity not to be expected of one in his condition. Alexander stated to Marshal Han cock that there was no one connected with the robbery of Mr. Rushiu’s store but Shade Lee and himself. He says they both went into the store and both carried ont the goods and that no one else knew anything about it* At the rime of the explo don he says that be and Shade were engaged in dividing the powder. Marshal Hancock also stated that Shade’s wife was shot in the leg by a gun which was discharged by the ex plosion, and that her burns were slight. The Marshal arrested Alex ander at. the house where the explo sion occurred, and says that the prisoner had a shotgun, a rifle and six pistols in the bouse. Alexander is considered a desper ado in the neighborhood about Met- calfe^and a number of crimes are laid at his door. He will be kept in jail until court meets, but will be given the proper medical attention. Referring to the fact that the dem* ocrats in the senate would not, for the reason that he needs no defense, reply to Stewart’s assault on the president, Mr. Voorhees uaid yesterday : Whatever criticism the senator from Nevada might have indu'ged in, the American peop'e had not shared that criticism with him. Nobody was perfect. Human nature was infirm. The lufiiest characters were not infa'libK But he ventured to say that in American hietory the career of Grover Cleveland, his char acter, his achievements, his honor, patriotism aud his abilities would stand in the foremost lme, in spite of a l the assaults which had been made. Whether senators dif fered from Mr. Cleveland or agreed with him, nobody failed to recognize his stalwart and powerful character and his high integrity. He hoped that this little tribute would be taken as sufficient to account for the fact that the democratic side of the cham her would not feel called upon to enter upon any defense of the presi dent unless something far more im portant was charged against him than had been charged up to this time.
