Off for the Coast.
Two or three parties leave this
morning for a camp frolic on the
Golf coast. One of the partiea will
tako in Newport Springs, but the
others will proceed direct to the bay.
They are all in fine spirits and jubi
lant over the anticipated pleasures of
the trip. Already they imagined they
could smell the gravy as tbe fish flut
ter in the pan for breakfast, and hear
the crouching of. turkey bones and
venison ribs at the noonday meal,
while the savory odor ot the roastiog
oyster lingers through the night and
lends additional charms to the mid
night visions of the girls they left be
hind.- They all go by private com
veyance and will bo absent about two
weeks. . Ample preparations have
been made in the way of supplies and
comforts—at least such was the case
with the parties whose inventory we
chanced to see while being filled by a
prominent Broad street merchant yes
terday. It consisted of six Japan
poles, half a dozen first-dan reels,
lines q. s., one gross fish hooks; five
pounds of sinker? and a jug of whis
key—two Winchester rifles, four
double barrel shot guns, a thousand
shells loaded to the muzzle for deer
and bear and a dozen bottles of
whiskey—one roast turkey, three
boiled hams, a cau of lard, quarter
gross canned goods assorted, a lot of
cheese, crackers and bread ami a
case of whiskey. They were also pre
pared for wind and weather,. Ben
sides tents and au abundance ot bed
ding, each man had a robber coat
and boots and a flask of whiskey.
To make sure of provender for the
n-Ains while there, a quantity of hay,

hipped by rail a few days ago.
Their numerous friends wish them a
pleasant outing and safe return.

is always a welcome visitor.
Only two cases were tried in the
county court yesterday though quite a
number were continued and otherwiee
disposed of. Hattie Simmons was

victed of larceny, and was fined fifty
dollars.
Mr. J. T. Tompkios and wife, of
Nova Scotia, have arrived and will

glad to see him among the pines
again.
Mr. Lee McLendon, one of the
prominent traffic officials of the
Plant system, with headquarters at
Montgomery, is in the city. Mr. Mc
Lendon is a brother of Hon. Guyt
McLendon, of Thomasville, and is
considered by railroad men one of the
ablest yonng traffic men in the south.
He was formerly with the Savannah,
Americns and Montgomery, and,
though quite a yonng mao, has
worked himself into one of the finest
positions in the south—Constitution.
Manager Spence, of the Thomas

open with a view of securing the best
companies in the conotry for tbe pa

Among tbe number we may mention
ths Ward e-James combination, com

James, both of whom have been here
and are too well known .to need any
special mention, and Thomas W.
Kesae. Mr. Keene has also been
here. These people are the very

was here in Sepiemb r with a view of
organ : z'mg a cunning factory, writes
that ho will return here shortly for the
purpose of furthering the work he
commenced on his first visit, and we
sincerely hope our citizens will lake a
deep interest in the enter prise and
assist him in perfecting an organiza

thoroughly familiar with tho canning
business, and a straight forward, prao
tical business man. If he is at tho
head of the concern theie is no doubt
of it being successfully managed
The following endorsement of the
gentleman has been received at this

operate with you, with a view of es«
tablishing a cannery at Thomas?ille,
and it lb my pleasure to say that Mr.
Nisbet deserves the confidence of any
community wishing to entrust the
management of a canning factory to
him. Qe has given several years ol
itudy to the cauuing industry, is
practical, full ol energy, aud as to
integrity and intelligence he is worthy
the respect and co operation of your

that dreadful disease, consumption.
Prof. Weldon was the o’dsst child

brothers aud four siters. Qe was born
at Covington, Ga., Newton, Co, 3rd
of May, 1841, being fifty-two years
and six months old.
Prof. Weldon has taught school
since his 16th year. He was educated
for a lawyer, but being too young to
be admitted tothe bar, he taught
until the late war came on. He enlist
ed in Co. G, 1st Ga. Regulars; being
the first volunteer from Newton coun
ty. He was promoted to Ordnance
Scrg’t. ol the regiment, and for his
promptness to duty aod courage in
time: of danger was promoted to com
mand of brigade ordnance; was com
plimented on the field at Olustee for
bravery. As the commaod was out
of ammunition and standing helpless
in the face of the enemy he charged
his wagon in view if the enemy and
bucsted the boxes and scattered the
ammunition along the line in time to
save that memorable b title.
Alter Lee’s surrend- r he returned
to his home, Covington, and resumed
teaching, which he gave up in June

Presbyterian church for many years.
He fought the dread disease, but
when he found he must submit, he
tiowtd submissively and requested to
be brought to his parents to die, and

wlurc all is brightness. May the
flowers of b au’y bloom perpetually
over tho last resting place ot our be

Will you kindly allow me, through
the medium of your paper, to ex
press my heartfelt thanks to the good
people of Cairo and vicinity for the
uniform kindness and sympathy ex
tended to us during our late -afflic

been kinder, and we desire, in this
way, to express oUr appreciation to

of the right thigh. There is a mjete**
ry 6Urronuding ihe shooting. The
negro does not know who shot him
ro at least he says he does not. His
story told the Doctor is as follow
He says he came to Thomasville from
Monticello on the noon train last Sat*
urday. He staid at a man’s house by
the name of Gilliard every night ex
cept Wednesday, which he spent at a
house near tho Variety Works. Y es-
terday morning he walked out by the
base ball ground, and was about 500
yards from the road beyond the
ground when tbe ball struck him.
This was about the time it stopped
raining He said he saw no one, and
of course did not know whether it was
accidental shot or one intended for
him. The report of tbe gun seemed
to be some distance off. The ball ex
tracted from him was £a thirty-eight.
Dr.'Taylor fixed himup alright and he
took tin next train for home. The
negro's story is not given mnch
weight by the police. It is rather
ihin,
We had a pleasant call yesterday
a'ternoon from Mr. J. J. Nelson, the
new lessee of the Hotel Masury, and
Mr. J. R Tierney, who will be. man
ager of the house the coming season.
These gentlemen oame here from
Hendersonville, N. C., where they
have been engaged in tbo hotel busi
ness fer a number of years, and have
made for themselves an enviable re
putation as snccessfnl caterers. They
have taken charge of the Masury
aid are now at work overhauling and
putting everything in first class order
about the place. The Masury is one
of the best houses in the State and
with the proper management, such as
ire have every reason to believe
Messrs. Ne'soo and rierney will give
it, can easily be made ono of the most
popular and successful^ They are
clever gentlemen, aod we trust our
people will give them all the. encour
agement possible.
We are frequently asked what are
the prospects for winter visitors this
year. They are bright and encour
aging. There are probably not as
many people here now as were here
tbe same lime last year, ^nt it
must be remembered that the
is backward. There has been no cold
weather in the North yet woth speak
ing about, and as long as the weather
is pleasant at home people are going
to stay there. Notwithstanding this
fact, however, a few visitors come in
every day., The hotel proprietors in
form us that they have a large nums
ber of rooms engaged for the
and are duly receiving enquiries
about the place, accommodations,
rates, etc. All the- indications point
to a highly successful season in Thom
asville.

him and run him the cooler. When
the officer searched him he found a

Mr. Theo. Titus has filed his peti
tion with the clerk of the Superior
court asking for a new trial for his
client, Henry Spencer, who was oons
victed at the last term of the Superior
court of the murder of Mose Green,
his brother in law. and is under sen
tence to be hanged 011 December the
22nd. We have not learned upon
what grounds Mr. Titus will urge his
claims for a new trial. Judge Han-
se-l is absent from the city holding
ciurt in Biooks county and he could
not be seen in regard to the time
when he wou'd hear the motion. It
is thought that he will give the matter
his attention as soon as he leturns
home.
Perhaps the yonngest member of
the house is Hon. S. A. Roddenberry,
Jr , of Thomas. Bat he is yonng
only in years, for his knowledge of
men and measures has equipped him
with a fund of general information
and experience that makes him a
wise and useful legislator. Mr. Rod
denberry is a good speaker and never
fails to make an excellent impression,
He is independent in character, fears
lees in the expression of his opinion
and very sound in his views.
The above appropriate compliment
from the Constitution to one of Thom
as connty's representatives is both
timely and deserved.
Mr. T. F. Pruett will leave tins af
terooon for Thomasville. Mr. Pruett

there about the lat of January. He

The Savannah News publishes, in
part,.an interesting sermon delivered
in the First African Baptist church
of Savannah, by Rjv. E. K. Love, on
Sunday night It was on lynch law
and the causes leading to it
Speaking of the sermoif the News
»js:
"The sermon was an effort which
would have been appreciated by any
cultured audience, and better still,
one that would have been approved
by any intelligent* congregation in
aoy section of tbe country. Dr.
Love’s position is thoroughly sound
and in a line with the beet sentiment
upon tbe subject of lynch law and the
crime which provokes it The de'ive-
ry of the eermon occupied an hour and
a half, but the congregation showed
no evidence of wearinem.”
Dr. Love is well known in Thom
asville, having been pastor of a lead,
ing colored church here for many
years. We take the following ex.
tract* from the dbconree and com
mend them tothe thoughtful not.
aiderstion of both races;
I appear before you tonight to dis-
cuss a subject which is of vital im.
portance to the American people, and
especially to my race. It ii time that
the negroes themselves should say
something about this matter which is
attracting the attention of the civil
ized world. It is high time that we
should take a position, and let tbe
world know what it is. We have
held our peace too long already.
Every negro pulpit shonid speak ont
on this subject. To begin with, I
state most positively that I have no
sympathy for the ravishers, nor do I
wdep at their death. Every guilty
man oi them ought to have died. I
object to the manner, however, by
which they were put to death. In
•this I do, as every civilized man should,
stand forth for law and order. I
would say to my race, especially, that
onr only hope and safety lay in our
strictest obedience to law and our un
qualified support oi the officers of the
law. It is only then we rise to the
sublimity of citizenship. Let ns not
seek to defend our criminals. They
do us more injury than they do to
others. We will be measured by
them, and we cannot reasonably ob
ject as long as we defeed them, for
then we will become accessories after
the fact and thus become partakers of
other men’s sins.
I regret that most of the lynching
done in the south and that most of
the victims are negroes. I regret
most of all that such awful crimes are
charged against us which provoke
these lynchings. It is unfortunate
that these crimes are laid at onr door,
even if the accusers are mistaken.
The south is our home and all talk
about the negroes leaving tbe south,
to any very great extent, is the sheer
est folly. Even those who have left
the sooth have not bettered their con
dition. Since the negro must remain
in the south, it is good sense, indeed,
it is their highest duty to do all in
their power to make the south the
glory of all the world. The fact that
most »f thtse lynchings are done in
tke South aod that mist of the vic
tims are negroes, lends, at least, the
suspicion that there is foul play, af-
fords material for political capital,
forms an excuse for ambitions, wicked,
designing politicians to keep the fire
of dissension and race hatred in an
everlasting blaze, and to continne.the
waving of the bloody shirt, and thus
causing eternal unrest, and the most
intense anxiety among our people.
The sensible, conservative negroes
are disgustiogly tired of this sort of
stuff and painfully regret any and
every occasion that conserves its per
petuation. These things do the South
no good, and whatever injures the
South injures ns. It is nonsense to
suppose that a man’s home can be in
jured without injuring him. To in.
jure the home of a people, the weak,
est and poorest oi them are injured
most.
The uproar at Ephesus would have
euded in a lynching but for the time
ly intervention, of the town clerk.
The sound argument which he used
with them may be still used in this
advanced age of Christian civilization
to suppress the mad, barbarous, blood
thirsty mobs that are disgracing onr
country, and especially onr southland,
and which are rapidly forcing good
people to the conclusion that we are
uocivilized, and that it is nnsafe to
live among us. As horrible as raping
is, lynching is infinitely worse. In
the.case of rape's woman is ruined, a
family is disgraced, and a community
is outraged, but lynching is not only
the inhumanly taking of a mao’ejlife,
but it disgraces onr civilization and
diztroys onr government. The rav
ishers can be punished far more effect
ually by law and be killed just as
dead by an officer pi the law as by
500'masked outlaws. If shooting and
hanging are not bad enough, then, let
the terrible penalty of Dnilliees be
added to onr statute books, that who
soever commits rage “shall be burned
alive” or any other barbarous or in
human death—only Ipt onr law say
so. If there is a fear that the courts
may he too tlow in bringing the crim-
nals to justice, let the law remedy
that
The eharge that i* laid at out
door which provokes these 'lynchings
is rape. Rape is a great sin against
society and against God.
There is a part which the negroes
themselves must first play in this mat
ter. We most insist upon it that onr
people stop committing the crimes for
which they are lynched. The horri
ble crime of rppe is calculated to ex
cite any virtue-loving people to in
tense indignation, and the offenders
bad jnst as well understand first as
last that it will not be tolerated. The
brutes who commit this tdrrible crime
are not worthy to live among good
people, and we should be careful not
to let one word of defense of them fall
from onr lips They ought to die.
It is punishable by death, even in
Africa. There is not. a virtnre-lov-
ing people on earth that will put up
with it. It is our duty to help put it
down. We shonid Bpeak ont in the
severest condemnation of this awful
on. I regret to say that in every
case, eo far as I have seen, we have
only denounced in nnmeaenred and
unguarded terms the lynching of the
negroes, without censuring even mild
ly the ravishers. This one-sided ac
tion on our part has injured rather
than helped our cause.”
Here ie what Mr. Wilson, of West
Virginia, chairman of the ways and
ns committee, one of the ablest
men in tbe House, says about tie
elections on Tuesday:
"I am mighty glad it came-now
instead of later in the administration.
The election in Virginia shows that
the populist uprising has not gathered
any headway. As soon as democratic
measures can be taken to restore pros
perity to the country everything will
be all right again.”
Ex-Congressman Cable, of Illinois,
said: "As to the general cause, tbe
business depression is the most potent,
The public seemed to blame these
conditions upon the party in power.
I hold that the democcatic party and
administration are not responsible tor
this. The business conditions grew
ont of pernicious legislation enacted
by the republican party. It was the
democracy’s legacy and not its acts.”
General Wade Hampton, one of
the ablest and purest men in South
Georgia, is being criticised, and by
democratic papers at that, for his ef
fort to reorganize and hold the demo
cratic party intact in Sooth Carolina.
They object to organization of demo
cratic clubs. S'raDge times when
democrats object to the organization of
democratic clubs Hampton is on the
right line, and we believe the true
men of South Carolina will rally
around his standard again, as they
did in 1876, when he redeemed tbe
state from carpet bag rule.
