There is evidently an organized
gang of burglars operating in Thom,
asrille. Within. the past tew weeks
several stores have been entered and
goods taken therefrom, hot the most
daring and successful raid was made
on Friday sight when the poet office
and the store of the Levy Mercantile
Company were entered. It ia not
known at what time of the night the
burglars did thdr work. The first
known »f it ms when the places
were opened up yesterday morning.
Wheu postmaster Bike entered the
office at an early hour he waa very
much astonished to find that every
thing was torn up and scattered
around the floor. The desks, drawers,
pigeon holes, eta, were emptied of
their oontouts, which showed signs
ot having been goue through and
afterwards scattered on the floor. The
Bate ms intact and did not appear to
have been tampered with. The
stamp drawer, which contained quite
a quantity of stamps, was also left
undisturbed. The only thing missing
was about seven dollars and a half in
cash, which had been left in ehe cash
drawer over night, and * pair o( shoes
belonging to Mr. Geo. Smith. In the
back pan of the office was found a
bole which had been bored out by
the burglars, through which they
gained an entrance.
When Mr. Elias opened up the
stores of the Levy Mercantile Com
pany yesterday morning he saw noth-
out of place uotil he
reached ihe office. There everything
was torn up. Every drawer in the
desk hid been forced opened and
their contents strewn promiscuously
about the placa The cash drawer
was unscrewed from the desk and
carefully removed. When making
cash the night before Mr. Elias had
left about twenty-five dollars in silver
in the drawer. This was taken, but
nothing e’ee was missed. Tho bur
glars were evidently on the search for
mousy, as none of the goods in the
store were missed. They gained an
entrance to this plaoe through the
cellar, cutting a hole through the
back brick wail large enough to ad
mit the body of a man.
The same party robbed both places
beyond any doubt,aa they are only two
djofe a part aod in the same bai'.ding.
Investigations yesterday morning
showed just how the burglars gained
an entrance to the boi'ding and also
to both stores. They went in through
the back yard of the Mitchell House,
where there is an opening leading
under the building covere t with
boards. This was probably left eo
that plumbers or others might get
underneath to work in the event
anything got out of order. Once
under there it was an easy matter
to crawl on hands and knees to the
places they desired to work. A brace
and bit was used to bore a bole
through the floor in the pastoffice.
When they had finished at this place
little more crawling brought them
to the cellar wall, which runs np to
the floor under the Levy dry goods
store. With some instrument enough
of the brick were removed to admit
the body of a man. From tho cellar
it was no trouble to ieach the store
above.
While the work showed that it had
been planned before hand, it waa not
done by professionals, or they would
have blown the safes.
There is no cine aa to the guilty
parties, but the officers are at work
on the case.
promptly arrested and locked up.
He - had about thirteen dollars
silver ou his person. The capture of
the burglar so toon after the crime
waa a splendid piece of detective work
and Mr. Coyle deserves much credit
for the excellent manner in which he
handled the case.
Spanish, is an old’crook and has
served several terms on the chain

where he .will not have an opportuni

that he ifu committed a'l of the
burglaries within the past few months.

It will be a pleasure to all to learn

A Remedy for Weevils.
We published a letter a lew days
ago from Mr. John W. Rice, of Lura
villa, Fla., to the Live Oak Banner,
giving his experience with bi-sulphide
of carbon as a weevil destroyer. Mr.
Rice ia a former citizen of Thomas'
county and iz a gentleman of unques
tionable veracity. His statements
will be received with implicit confi
dence by an who know him, and some
our readers, in consequence, may
adopt his method of .ridding com of
weevils. Aod this is why we allude to
the subject again. Mr. Bice, doubt
less inadvertently, failed to citation
those who might follow his example
regard to the inflammable nature of
bi-sulphide of carbon. Until sufficient
time bis elapsed for all ol the carbon
evaporate and pass .away, no fire
should be allowed In proximity of the
barn. The atrikiog of a match or
passing with a torch even at some
distance daring volatilization might
set fire to the premises. If your bam
tight enough and sufficient bi-sul-
phide oi carbon is nsedgtil the weevils
the core at the time will be killed,
but we advise all who nse it to be
careful about fire.

was committed some weeks age Police-
mao Coyle hu been suspicions of
Charley Spanish, a well known negro
man about town. Charley koepe a
woman, Mitt Bennett, and yesterday
afternoon she came out on the streets
on a shopping expedition und carried
a handsome pocket book in her hand.
Mr. Coyle, who was on the lookout
for her, saw the book and it fitted the
description of one stolen from Capt.
Hicks’drug store when it was burg
larized a few weeks ago. The Ben
nett woman when asked about it said
Spanish gave it to her. Capt Hicks
was sent for and he identified the
book aa his property. The woman
was pat in the back port of the post-
office, where she would have no ops
portunity to see any one, and the
officers started ont to look for Span
ish. Marshal Spair, in the meantime,

which were a n amber oi agars of the

We understand that freight train
No. 54 from Albany which arrives
here every moroing about six o’clock
will bring through poaches of mail.
This.will in a measure, compensate tor
the loss of mail occasioned by tbe
discontinuation of No. 5, which form

The Toccoa News paints early an

hues of the western skies. Tbe fields
and woodlands are gay with golden

wild flowers of varied tints. Chest
nuts are ripening in the woods and
apples -are blushing furiously ou the

Referring to the discontinuance oi
bains on the 8. F. & W, the News of

“Savannah, Florida and Western

nah and Thomasville will be dis
continued with train No. 5 leaving
Savannah at 8:10 p. m. to-day and
train No. 6 arriving at Savannah at
6:05 a. in. to morrow.
These trains are discontinued on
account of tbe yellow fever at Bruns
wick and Jeeup and the quarantine
regulations now in force. Soph Flem
ing says that the travel ha3 decreased
to cinca the quarantine was put on
that these fraies can be easily dis
pensed with.
The cutting off of these trains, he
says, will aid the' quarantine by di
minishing the opportunities of the
people from the fever district to reach
Savannah and lightening the work of
the quarantine inspectors.”
Tho understanding here, is that
trains 5 aud G are only discontinued
temporarily. They will no donbt be

an epidemic, and the disease could be
easily checked.”
With regards to Jesup Dr, Carttr
said: “Jesup is undoubtedly thorough
infected with yellow fever and is
more dangerous to Savannah now
than Brunswick is. It should be shut
up as tightly as possible and nooce a!«

Our congressman, Hon. Ben E.
Russell, is receiving numerous flatter
ing nonces of his speech jn the house
the other day io opposition to the ted.

in fact, proved himself one of the
foremost debaters in the house. Re
ferring to his speech the Atlanta Con-
stitution says:
Colonel Ben Rnssell, ol Georgia,
came forward io the house to-day ou
the election bill, Mr. Russell was in
good form and made a strong argu
ment. Though there were a few mem.
bera present when the Georgian took
the floor he was given close attention
and was repeatedly applauded. Sever
al rimes republicans attempted to in
terrupt, but the Georgian stood his
ground splendidly and proved him
self good at repartee.
Bishop. Haygood, of Georgia, is a
strong and vigorous writer. Referring
to the frequency of lynchings through
out tbe country, be says:
Legal punishment educates men
into respect for law; lynching educates
them into contempt for lav.' Lynch
ing does more to pat down law than
any criminal it talus ia hand; lyochs
mg kills a mao; the lyncher kills the
law that protects file; lynching is an
archy. Ifone private citizen has no
moral or aril right .to pat a man to
death, a hundred banded together
have not the right. The government
that winks at lynching is virions; the
government that docs not care is fool
ish or wicked; the government that
cannot pot it down ia weak.”
It ia rather significant that Senator
Hill, whose boast is that he is
