Thomasville is responding to Bruns
wick’s appeal for aid. The reporter
noticed on the depot platform yester
day four large coops containing about
one hundred chickens, and a number
of large boxes of provisions. The
whole country is coming to the aid
of suffering Brunswick nobly and we
are glad to see that Thomasville is
doing her share.
Mr. R. Frank Corse's, secretary of
the Fruit Growers Association, of
Liberty "county, has estimated the
pear shipments tor the season and
find them to be 9,899 barrels and
2,803 crates, bringing into the coun
ty about $20,000, thereby paying the
railroad and express companies $6,-
500. He hopes to get special rates to
western markets for the next season.
Owners of LeConte pear orchards
in this section should co^opei ate with
growers in other sections lo secure
better rates to the West. Rates to
the East and North are in the main,
satisfactory, but Western rates
amount almost to prohibition.

Not for many long yean has the
Thomas county jail contained euch a
large number of criminals at one
time as there are now cjnfraed within
its Iron cages. Crime seems to E&ve
been on the rampage daring the put
six months. There have been more
murders, burglaries, etc., during that
time than usually take place in five
times the length of time.
There are now confined in the jail for
trial at this term of the Superior
court five men charged with murder,
lour men and two women charged
with burglary, one charged with arson
and one with perjury. Io addition
to this there are m number out on
bond, whose oases will come up for
trial at this term. The following is a
list of the criminals iu jail:
Heory tipenc6r, colored, charged
with the murder of Mose Green.
His case ia familiar to the public, aa
is a'so the difficulty experienced by
the officers in arresting him.
John Plummer, colored, the Flori
da desperado, is charged with the
murder of S. A. Horne about a
mouth ago. He was given a com
mitment trial and sent to jail to await
trial by the Superior court.
Bulljr Hagan, colored, is in jail
charged with the same crime.
Chas. Washington, colored, who
killed Derry Paulk at Beverly &
McCormick’s mill in Ochlockoneo.
Isaac Beard, colored, will be tried
for the murder of his wife.
Walter Odom, colored, is charged
-b a r son. It will be remembered
that he was arrested for brirning the
bridge on the S F. & W. Ry., some
months ago. It is said that the evi
dence against him is pretty strong.
Joe Powell and Scrap Powel 1 , the
two negro girls Mr. Brandon caught
burglarizing his house, will be iri* d
this term.
Gus Alexander, colored, is charged
ilh burglary and will probably pltad
guilty. He is one of the negroes who
stole a keg of powder from Mr.
Ruehin’a store in Metcalfe and was
afterwards blown up by it, thereby
giving him away. He was badly
burned, but ij getting aloDg very well
now.
Tom Matthews, colored, is charged
with burglarizing a railroad car.
Cbarley Spanish, colored, burglary.
He it was who broke into the post
office and Levy’s only about a week
ago, and was so cleverly caught by
the city officials.
Alex Grey, colored, is the last oue
on the burglary list.
John Jones, colored, will b3 tried
for pei jury, lie was sent .to jail on a
warrant sworn out by Marshal Spair
charging him with false sweariog in
th? police court.
Stevens screen at the drug store shows
a minimum of 40, while mine shows a
minimum of ( 27. This difference is
thus explained: On a bed of hay
covered with fig leaves in my garden
away from shade trees which would
interfere with radiation my self regis
tering thermometer was placed. Pro
fessor Loomis, oi Yale College, whose
book 'on meteorology now before
me says; “Hoar frost like dew
deposited chiefly on thorn bodies
which radiate best such as plants and
the leaves of vegetables; Plants
sometimes become cool by radiation
from 12 to 15 degrees below the tem
perature of tho surrounding air.”
This was demonstrated lust night by
my experiment. There can ba no
frost at a temperature of 40 except
on radiating substances of spme kind.
A cloudless aud calm night is neces
sary for the thorough radiation of all
radiating substances. Though your
thermometer mark 40, a thtrmome*
ter where the frost is will always be
at tue fret zing point for frost is noth*
irg lucre nor less than ice, the frozen
of the air. We can olteu
predict the approach ot frost by the
method: Suppose your
thermometer shows a minimum of
and the difference between the
wet bulb and dry bulb of your hy-
diometer is 4, then multiply the 4
by 22 amt subtract this sum from
th9 46. The remainder will show
that iu the absence of clouds and high
winds the mercury within ihe next
24 hours aboutSG. Gardeners should
observe this rub ami govern them
selves accordingly for the protection
of their plants.
Very truly,
T. S. Hopkins.
Mr. W. H. Love, president of the
Tifton canning factory, brought to
tho city today samples of canned
tomatoes, okra and tomatoes. bGans,
peaches and pears. The
exhibited by Mr. Love are as fine as
can be produced any where and Mr.
Love informs us that the company ia
finding ready sale for its products.
The compauy had sixty acres
tomatoes the present year and have
paid special attention to the canning
of this vegetable. Canned tomatoes
are as good as gold and always find a
ready sale. The canning industry in
South Georgia bids fair to bet a big
success and the enterprising company
at Tiftoe, is taking the lead—Way-
cross Herald.
The movement now on foot to es
tablish a cannery in Thomasville
should receive the encouragement
and substantial aid of every citizen of
the town. There is no doubt what
ever but that the enterprise would
pay handsomely. They are making
money all over the State, and with
Thomaavilie’s advantages as a fruit
and vegetable center, it seems to ns
Note of Thanks.
Gait. Tuiplett :
Will you tender our heartfelt
thanks to the ladies who so cheerful
ly and genera 1 ly responded to our
call in behalt of Brunswick. No
committee was ever more encouraged
iu their effort to help the suffering.
“Compa&iin is love in action,” it
needed but a word to move the
women of our city. We went to
them ouly, and not one third of the
homes ' was visited and we estimated
the donations in contributions in cash,
food and clothes to bs'fuily one hun
dred dollars. To-morrow we expect
to ship two more barrels, gifts sent in
since Thursday.
Be sure, Mr. Editor, to tell the
children to come out to-night at 7:30
•’clock, Methodist church, to the con-
test by the young ladies and show
their pity for their suffering neigh
bors by bringing in a voluntary offer*
ing for their relief. It is not expected
that women and children do much,
but the widows mite was greater
than the gifts of the rich men, because
she done what she could. Seats will
be free to all.

Jesup preachers for leaving the peo*»
pie in their distress, and as I am the
only white, preacher living in Jesup,
I wish to make an explanation and
thereby correct any false impressions
that may have been made.
When the yellow fever was declared
m Jesup I was at Johnston station,
where I had gone to Jill my appoint
ment, and cou'd not reach home until
Monday noon. I never entertained
an idea of leaving the place, but in
tended to remain and do everything
in my power for the people, but on
Tuesday Surgeon Murray returned to
Jesup and declared several new cases
of yellow fever, assuring the people
that the disease was assuming the
form of an epidemic.
My family had intended to remain
in the place, but as the situation grew
more alarmipg I considered it my
duty, iu view of my wife’s feeble
health, to get them away if possible.
I went to the mayor, who assured
e the ouly chance was to send them
to the country at once, as no one was
then allowed to leave on trains. I
did everything in my power to get a
conveyance to take them to the house
of a friend five miles in the country,
but being no livery stab'es in Jesup
and but few teams, I found it impos
sible to procure any kind of convey
ance until just before night, a mer
chant kindly let me have his delivery
wagon, acd I was compelled to drive
myself.
I wa3 B ; .ck and not able to return
for several days, but as soon as pos
sible I went back to the guards and
pleaded for admittance. I sent fer
the mayor, who knew ray intentions
to return, and he assured me that he
had done all he could to get me back,
but the government officers remained
immovable, and there was no chance
to got iu. My earnest desire ia to be
with my people and to minister to
them in their affliction. I have tried
to discharge my duty fully, and hope
you wid publish these facts in my jus
tification.

In Memoriam of Albert Moller.
“But I would not have you to be
gaoraut, brethren, concerning them
which are asleep, that ye sorrow not
even as othtrs which have no hope.”
While we p »*>r way-farers still
, with hui and b'eeding feet, along
ihe highway and tho dust of life, our
mpauious have but mounted the
divergent path, to explore the more
sacred streams, and visit the divioer
vales, acd wander amid the ever
lasting Alps of God’s upper province
of creatiun. And so ive keep up the
courage ot our heart 1 , and refresh
oureelve3 with the memories of love,
and travel forward in the ways of
duty with le s weary step,feeling ever
for the hand of God, and listenining
for the domestic voices of the immor
tals whose happy welcome waits us.
Death, in thort, under the Christian
aspect, is but God’s method of coloni
zation; the transition from this mother
country of our race to the fairer and
newer world of our emigration.”
The above beautiful and comforting
words meet so fully the heait of the
one who borrows them to offer to
those who are now “alone” with their
God, that she dares not to utter her
own consolations in her far too feeble
voice iu these still and darkened days
wheu the sun, for a time, seems no
longer to shine in the broken home.
The beloved depirted one, who
seemed bound to earth by the chains
of health, tt r ength, hope and love a
few weeks ago, is now riveting the
bonds of love everlasting, and filling
the chalice of sorrow with the bitter
sweet waters ot earth acd Eternity so
Chat those who may thirst may drink
ml be refreshed by that peace which
passeth all uudcistandiog, and which
knoweth how to rejoice in sorrow.
Tobacco Displacing Cotton.
Mr. F. B. Hoodie, of Lake City,
Fla, president of the National Cigar
Leaf Grower’s Association, who was
in this city a day or two ago, on his
way home from Washington, ex
pressed the opinion that tobacco cul
ture is the coming industry of South
Georgia and Florida, In bis opinion
thore will he 5,000 farms in the lo-
calities indicated planted in tobacco
next year that are now planted in
cotton.
4 Mr. Moodie is very enthusiastic ia
respect to tobacco growing in South
Georgia and Florida, but perhaps not
more bo than the facts warrant. The
soil and climate of certain South
Georgia and Florida counties are
admirably adapted to tobacco culture
The quality of the tobacco is excellent
and the yie’d is large. In those lo*
calities in which attention hoe been
riven to tobacco growing for several
years the* profits of the growers are
very satisfactory, but in other coun
ties io which there are many experi
menters the results have not been
wholly encouraging.
The reason why some of the grow
ers have failed is that they knew noth
ing about the growing and curing of
tobacco, and they have not had the
assistance ot anybody who doc-s know.
The consequence has been in many
instances that nnremunerative prices
have been received for what appeared
to be excellent tobacco.
Growers who have failed to fiad
the cultivation of tobacco profitable
and have threatened to abandon cul
ture do not know the reason they
have not succeeded. They believe
they have cultivated and cured their
tobacco properly, when, aa a matter
of fact, they have done nothing of the
kind.
Before there will be a general suc
cess in tobacco culture in this section
growers will have to make themselves
acquainted with the growing and
curing of tobacco. When they have
done that and uie their knowledge aa
they should they will find tobacco
more profitable than any other crn .
We agree with Mr. Mfiodic that it

The ConsT.u’ion on Sunday pub
lished an el.borate andcireful r.-surae
of Georgia’s cotton crop. Rcfening
to it the Constitution says:
We present this morning the latest
estimates of the crop from all the; cct-
ton counties in Georgia..These rej orts
have been obtained by reliable corret
spondents from the farmer! and the
dealers in cotton,and areas exact acd
trustworthy as they could be made.
It is safe 10 say ihr. our cotton crop
will be 15 or 20 per cent less than
last year’s crop. At the beginning of
the season it was thought that there
would be an increased yield, bu: with
these figures btfore ui it is absolutely
certain that there will be a ra iked
decrease. Only thirteen counties
show an increase; thirteen report
neither an increase or decreise; all
the others report a decrease of from
roto 50 per cent.
The reports cover all the cotton
counties and have been prepared with
pains-taking accuracy.
Mr. W. A Sp’tz, the local core
spondent of the Constitution, after
careful inquiry, reported Thomas
county as follows:
“The acreage in cotton this year
in Thomas county is about 15 per
cent greater than last year.
Owing to heavy rains the crop will
only be about 10 per cent more. It
is estimated that 60 per cent oi the
crop will be marketed by Nov. ist.”
It is now generally admitted that
the crop will not exceed much, if any,
the crop of last year, which was about
6, 700,000.
