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. for visit of Jack Frost have put to fbght the dread angel of disease and dea h.

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.

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.

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 is only a question of time when a very large part of South Georgia and Flor ida will bo given up to tobacco. The price of tobacco is bound to remain high for a long time and cigars man ufactured iu this couatry of home grown tobacco are steadily growing in favor.—News.

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. carolul, * ■ brake T'uy 1 ;he ga out again should be ; will meet fete ol' those who were lynched in that city two or three years ago.
