Superior Court.
The criminal docket was taken up
yesterday morning in the Superior
court and the entire day was con
sumed in this business.
The first case called was that of
Charley Spanish, charged with bar
glory. He had been indicted by the
grand jury for burglarizing the store
of B L. flicks & Co., a few weeks
ago. The evidence was very strong
against him, and realising this his
attorneys filed a plea of guilty. At
least - two other bills, iriil probably be
found against him of the same charac
ter, one for burglarizing the post office
and one for entering and robbing
Levy’s store. Spanish is in every
fair way to make a protracted .visit to
the coal mines.
The next case taken np was the
case oi the State vb. Chas. Washing
ton, on an indictment chargiog him
with voluntary manslaughter. The
prisoner was defended by Capi. Ham
mond and Mr. A. T. McIntyre, Jr.
Solicitor Peeples conducted the prose
cution. Washington killed one of
his fellow workmen at the aaw
of Beverly & McCormick a few weeks
ago, the particulars of which were
published in tho Times Enterprise
at the time and are doubtless remem
bered by our readers The jury re
turned a verdict of “iuvoluntary
manslaughter iu the commission of an
unlawful act.” The punishment for
this offense is from one to three years
in the penitentiary.
The case of the Slate, vs Isaac
Beard, wife murder, was next taken

All of yesterday morning was'con
sumed in the Superior Court in the
trial of the case of the state against
Isaac Beard, an.old negro who killed
his wife last September. The jury
had been selected the evening before
and the witnesses sworn, bo when
court was opened yesterday morning
the attorneys were instructed by his
honor to proceed at once with the
trial.
On tbe night of tbe second day of
last September, Diola Beard, wife of
Isaac Beard, tbe prisoner at the bar,
was shot and killed in her house
about two miles fropa town. She and
her husband had been separated for
some months and were known to bear
ill wi’l towards each other. This,
coupled with the additional fact that
Isaac bad been beard to say that he
wou’d kill his wile some time* led to
the crime being laid at his door and
subsequently to his arrest.
The first witness introduced was
Dr. T. S. Dekle, who testified that he
was called in to see Diola Beard.
Fouud her in a semi-comatose condi
tion, with a bnllet hole in her
body. Probed for tbe ball, which
went into the bowels. The wound
was sufficient to produce death.
Chas, Vann testified that he knew
Isaac and Diola Beard; she lived
About 200 yards from his house. He
saw Isaac the night of the shooting
coming from the direction ot her
bouse. I was sent for and went to
the house, saw tbe woman lying on
the floor bloody. Only stayed there
about half a minute. Isaac and
the woman bad not lived together
since last October. In tbe cross ex
amination Mr. Vann stated that Isaac
"bad no gnn when he saw him, that he
went with him to the house, and that
he sent him to Mr. Quarterman to
get that gentleman to go for a physi
cian. Isaac stayed at the house some
time and did everything he was told
to do tor his wife.
Lula Beard swore that the dead
woman was her mother and the
prisoner her father. She was in the
house when her mother was shot,
heard the report of the gun and was
there when she died. She saw no
oue at time of shooting. Her mother
said before dying that Isaac had shot
her, that she knew the report of the
gun. Also said she was going to die
aud wanted us to take care of lb*
children. Shot came from the win -
doiv. She couldn’t see Isaac. Night
was dark aud raining. Father and
mother bad not been living together
foi six month?. He was mad with
her, but they spoke. He sometimes
came to the fence to see their boy.
Felix Stovall said that Isaac came
to his house on the night of the kill
ing and to'd him he was going to kill
his wile. He begged him not to do
Isaac left. Witness went to bed,
thinking that Isaac would change
his miud. Isaac returned to my house
later and told me that “he had got the
damn bitch.” He had a gun with
him. Stovall’s evidence before the
coroner’s jury was entirely difierent
from the above and when asked' to
txpluin it said that he was afraid to
tell it all at that time for fear they
wou’d get him into the scrape. He
also stated that Isaac and the dead
woman had not been on good terms
for a long time and that Issaac bad
epeatedly threatened to kill her.
Mr. Vann was put back on the
stand and swore that he had conver
satiun with the dying woman. She
said that Isaac shot her, that she knew
the report of the gun. She also said
that she did not see him.
Joe Pfeister was sworn and said
that he knew the prisoner and
the dead woman. The prisoner told
him last August that he intended to
kill his wife before Christmas. The
prisoner talked about it a great deal,
Alice Johnson swore that Isaac
told her that “Diola swore to a lie on
mo, and I will kill her for it if it is
the last thing I do.” He also said
that he wanted to kill her and one
other then he was ready to die.
The State closed here.
The defense introduced no testi
mony, bat put Isaac np to make a
statement. The prisoner made a
long, rambling talk about how he had
been persecuted by the peop’e in his
n<ghborh<K>d and even by his own
family. * His wife had been unfaith
ful to him, but that .he did not hill
her. He did not want to kill her.
“If I had 'wanted to kill any one" I
would have killed the man first,” he
said. He dosed his statement by say
ing that he was innocent, and that if
they put him on the gallows he woald
still say he did not kill his wife.
Solicitor Peeples then went before
the jnry. He spoke, only twelve
minutes, bnt made a good si
The negro was defended by Judge
Alexander and Mr, Arthur Patten.
The former spoke about fifteen min
utes in defense of his dient.
The Judge’s charge was a very
comprehensive one covering all the
law in ti e case and outlining tq the
jniy their duty.
The jury was only out a short while
before they brought in a verdict
guilty with a recommendation
mercy, which will rend the prisoner
up for. life.—Daily T,sE, Oct. 20.
Flowers, Beautiful Flowers.
Here is something which will in
terest the growers and lovers of flow
ers. Speaking of the cultivation of
at Madi30D, N, J., for sale in
New York, a writer says:
“The season begins about October
1st, and continues unabated till about
the 1st of June, though flowers are
shipped during the summer months,
only In less quantities. Tho average
duly shipments amount to about 35,•»
000 buds, increasing at tho Christ
mas holidays to almost 100,000.
This seems enormous, and yet the
demand is constantly increasing.
“The number of varieties raised by
tho several growers- is enormous.
Among them the American Beauty,
a large, double, red rose, noted for
its long stem, beautiful foliage and
exquisite perfume,' ia without excep
tion tho favorite, and at Christmas
is quoted at $15Q a hundred. The
Perle, bright orange yellow, large,
full and good form; Nephetos, purest
white, large and double; Mareohall
Kiel, beautiful deep yellow, very
large, full and globular form, very
sweet scented; Mme. de Watteville,
white slightly shaded salmon, large,
weU • shaped, remarkable in color;
Murmit, fine, fl'i&h rose, large and
perfect—are Fpecialties, and bring
handsome prices, ranging from $18 to
$25 a hundred.”
Many beautiful roses are grown in
Thomasville. This is the home of
the queen of flowers. Among others
who cultivate many rare roses we
may mention Mrs. E. M. Smith, Mrs.
8. L. Hayes, Mrs. John L. Fim the
Misses Starke, Mrs H. W. Hopkins,
Mrs Junius Smith, Mrs. Redden
Smith, Mrs T. J. Young, Mrs. L. A.
Dreyer, Mrs. H. E. Armstrong, and
other?. Leaving town, bnt iu the
viuiuity, Dixie Nnrsery shows a be
wildering wealth of flowers, while at
Chvelaud Park, the beautiful conn*
try plaoe of Mr. John W. Masury,
cau be seen one of the finest and cost-
lfa*t collections of flowers in this
section. Greenwood, Mr. VanDnzer’s
beautiful country place, is also the
home of some of the loveliest flowers
knowu to this section.
Flowers, as a rule, are not grown
here for profit, though the business
might be made a very lucrative one.
Flowers during the fall, winter and
spring—and they bloom here all
winter—are freely given to visitors by
tbe liberal growers. Quite a num
ber ot little darkeys.make a snug sum
during the winter by selling flowers
to visitors. Some ot the flowers are
procured through legitimate channels,
while the nimble little coons not nn»
frequently lay in their stock by the
light of tho rnoou, while the uncon
scious owners are wrapt iu sleep.
We should like to see this beauti*
ful industry carried on more general-
Thomasville. There are but
tew yards where fljwers cannot be
successfully grown.
Bright, beautiful flower?, how they
gladden the eye, and stir the finer
and better feelings of human nature.
God speaks to us in the full blown
rose and the opening bud.
Cultivate more flowers.
FOR BRUNSWICK.
The Demorest Contest a Flat-
tering Success.
Tobacco and its Culture.
Possibly no article that is so ex
tensively used, not only in our own
country, but in all the civilized world,
little understood as the plant of
tobacco.
Tobacco was, as we all know, first
discovered when Virginia was settled
by the Eoglish. It was extensively
used by the Indians, and held in ven#
eration as a plant of holy origin or in
some way connected with the Greet
Spirit-
That is why all treaties formed be
tween any rival tribes or between the
Indians and onr first settlers were
invariably sealed by smoking the pipe
oi peace. To them the friendly pipe
was emblematic of more than ail the
social gatherings of our present day.
In their ignorance they suppoeed that
the aroma arising from the burning
tobacco was pleasing to the Great
Spirit, and that his divine sanction
would be given to their treaty.
The botanical name of tobacco is
nicotina, in honor of Jean Nicot, a
Frenchman who transplanted it in
France, where it was regarded as a
flower of rare beauty.
It was afterwards transplanted in
Spain, and excited so much interest
and was valued so highly, on account
of its introduction from the new
world, that it waa made a crime pun
ishab'o with death for any one^out-
side of the royal family, to own. a
single plant. -
Later on in the eighteenth century
it was introduced into Turkey, where
it soon grew into general nee. So
great was the prejudice against its use
that an order was issued making the
consumption of tobacco a crime pun
ishable with death. This however
was ot short duration, and Turkey it
to-day the largest tobacco consum
ing country in the world # per capita,
In Russia it waa at one time tbe
law that all consumers of tobacco
should be branded. Happily it has
all been changed and is now in gen
eral use.
In a future article the importance
of the plant to our commercial world,
the thousands, of hands employed in
its culture, will be dealt with.

The above taken from the Atlanta
Journal will be read with interest by
tobacco growers and consumers oi the

The lecture room of the Methodist
church was crowded to.its utmost
capacity Tuesday evening by thoce
who were anxious to help poor,
scourge stricken Brunswick and at
the same time encourage-the noble
ladies who are devoting their energies

They are. engaged- in a cause that
commends itself to every one who is
capable of sympathizing with the dis
tressed and afflicted and they should
receive the encouragement of all.

Where all did so well it would
be invidious to draw comparisons, and
the judges had anything bat an easy
task to decide upon the winner of the
medal. It was awarded, however, to
Miss Eva Bogan.
It is proper to state here that the
last three young ladies on the pro
gramme who recited, Misses Mayne
Davis, Nellie Pringle and Hope Lin-
were not contestants for the
medal. Their recitations were ren
dered in a most excellent manner.
Prof. Roddenbery’s remarks were
beautiful and appropriate. He paint
ed in eloquent language the misery
and distress of the citizens of tie
stricken “City by the Sea.”
The singing of Misses Ryke, Car-
roll and Baker and Messrs. Ball and
Robison, was very good and added
greatly to the entertainment of the
audience.
Quite a nice sum was realized,
which will be forwarded at once to
the proper authorities of Brunswick.
The ladies who got up and con
ducted the. entertainment so admir
able are entitled to great credit.

Superior Court.
There was a larger attendance on
Superior court yesterday throughout
the whole day than has been seen
a long time. The court room was
packed to its utmost capacity.
The care of the State vs. Isaac
Beard, indicted for murder, was the
first case taken up. Judge Alexander
and Mr. Arthur Patten represented
the defendant. Solicitor Peeples waa
alone in the prosecution. The jury
rendered a verdict of guilty, but
recommended the prisoner to mercy,
which means life time imprisonment.
The next case called was that of
the State vs. W. B. Linton, assault
with intent to murder. The defen
dant failed to show np and his bond
u forfeited.
The entire afternoon was consumed
in the trial of Joe and Scrap PoweP,
the two negro girls who were caught
burglarizing Mr. Brandon's Loose last
summer. Mr. A. T. McIntyre, Jr.,
represented the defendants. Mr. B.
F. Hawkins assisted- Solicitor Peeples
in the*prosecution- The jury re**
turned a verdict of larceny from the
house.
At the conclusion of tho above trial
court adjourned until nine o’clock
this morning, A civil case has been
set down for this morning, hat in the
event it is not tried, the criminal
docket will again he taken np.
The grand jury put in a big day’s
work, bringing into court - eleven in
dictments before adjourning.—Daily
T.-E. Oct 20.
Notwithstanding the dull times,
money panic, etc., there is always a
demand f.ir Thomas county real es
tate and it is alwajs on the move.
The Hopkins Real Estate Agency has
sold within the past two weeks ten
thousand two hundred dollars worth
of Thomas county dirt. This is not
bad for this sesson of the year, and
shows that although the people have
about lost confidence in the money
policy of the government, and have
grown disgusted with the di'atory
proceedings of the Senate, to whom
they look for relief, Thomas county
real estate is yet considered a sound
and safe investment.
As will be seen by the council
proceedings published elsewhere the
city has taken steps to have bitching
posts and racks placed in the differ
ent yards used for that purpose and the
chairman of the street committee was
instructed to have the work done at
once. We are glad to know that
these conveniences will be supplied.
They have long been needed in Them*
asville.
Atlanta will soon be in the midst o
municipal election. Atlanta
generally in the midst of something.
Extending the Mains,
The city water mains are being ex<
tended as rapidly aa it is possible for
the city to do eo. During tho present
week Marshal Spair has extended the
mains oat on Hansell street to near
where that street is intersected by
Broad. Two fire plugs have been
placed in East End, which, no doubt,
greatly pleases the inhabitants of that
growing suburb, aa their property has
been, up.to this time,comp!etely at the
mercy of tbe flames on account of the
lack of water. >
