The Battle of Thomasville.
Wc presume our readers have notic
ed an honest faced,' one legged old
gentleman on the streets selling an
indelible dothes maiker. He ap*
proached ye reporter the other day
thus:
“Won't you take a marker, sir, from
a one-legged confederate soldier. Yes,
sir, I lost <ny. leg in the late war at
the battle of Hatcher^ Ruo, in Feb
ruary, 1865. I was in General Evans*
command. I fought a bailie in this
town. I guess you think now I am
lying,as you know no battle was fought
here, but, sir, I tell you that we were
on our way from Olustec fight under
command of H.D Capers, and he
marched us out just across the rail
road, down there near the depot, and
in an old fieid,*and had us fight a
sham battle for the amusement and
entertainment of the Tfcoraasviile
ladies. One of our boys shot his
ramrod through mistake, which fright-,
ened the ladies as it went whizzing
through the air. I am engaged now
in the battle tor meat and bread. Yes,
I was in General Evans’ brigade, and
I am for him for gover ror world with

John Lister has broken the record

Mr. and Mrs. Kc-ip exerted them

This paper has already stated that
Mr.* E. A. Nisbet had come to Thom
asville for the purpose of organizing a
canning company. In conversation
with Mr. Nesbit and a cumber ot
leading citizens yesterday we learned
that Thomasville aud Thomas county
propose to cooperate with Mr. Nisbet
with the determination of securing
the much needed establishment. Such
an enterprise will create a homo'cash
market tor tomatoes, okra,green corn,
English peas, beans, berries, peaches,
apples and pears, Sush products will
bring ready money tor planters daring
the dull summer months. And such
a market may solre the pioblem of
raising 7 cents cotton. It is easier to
raise 300 bushels of tomatoes to the
acre than to grow 500 pounds of lint
cotton. Indeed it is cheaper to raise
500 bushels ot tomatoes than 503 lb 3 of
lint cot'.oo on one acre of South Geor->
gia land. Five hundred bushels of
tomatoes are worth $125. One bale
(500 lbs ) of cotton is worth from $35
to $40. Likewise o;her vegetables
can be made profitable to tho planter
if be has the market, and a canning
factory will certainly make the market.
Thomas county has the climate aud
soil adapted to the growth of all fruits
and vegetables. Hundreds ot acres
are already covered with bearing trees
of the L; Conte and Kiefer pears aud
no better place in this sunoy land can
be found for a cannery than Thomas*
villi.
Let ti e good people ct town and
county came forward to aid in the
org-ioiz ltioa of a c amp any Which will
bring material and permanent benefits
to our home business. Let us take
another step toward building a great
city in >bis favored land of South
Grorgia by having a cannery to pre
serve the delicious fruits of our soil.
About Tuesdiy or Wednesday next
committee of leading men will meet
to formulate a definite plan of co op*
eration wiih Mr. Nisbet and at that
time an active committee will probably
be appointed to put the matter plainly
and squxtely before the people.
We are quite sure that Tiiomasville
will not let this enterprise “pass her
by.”
A New Antidote for Morphine.
Dr. William Moor, a specialist on
therapeutics, and a member of-the
staff of the West Side German CUniOi
in West Forty-second street, this city,
has discovered that permanganate of
potassium Is on antidote for morphine
poisoning, and that it will counteract
the effects of any of the alka’oids of
opium within a reasonable lapse of
time. ’ - - •
Dr. Moor, in the presence of twelve
members of the clinic who assembled
on January 9, swallowed three grains
of morphine, which is ordinarily a fa*
tal do.c, and a positively fatal one in
his cos?, as he is supersensitive to the
effect of narcotics. Immediately af
ter taking the morphine, he drank a
solution of four grains of permangas
nate of potasrium in four ounces of
water.
The physicians had Dr. Moor under
their eyes for five hours after the ex
periment, but, as far as they could
discover by every v sort of test, he
might as well have swallowed the wa
ter alone. The antidote had done its
work well, for the effect of the mor
phine had been eatire'y neutralized.
It has long been known that the
now antidote is a destroyer of organic
matter. The reason that it has not
been used until now as an antidole for
morphine i* that it has generally been
cgirded as certain to be deoxidized
and thus rendered powerless by con
tact with the organic matter of th6
stomach But Dr. Moor’s discovery
is that tho permanganate will select a
soluble silt of morphine from the al
bumen peptone and other contents of
the stomach with astonishing rapidity.
It will* in fact, decompose a morphine
salt several hundred times quicker
than it will decompose albumen. The
discovery of this property of selection
of the psrmangiaate'n affinity for the
morphine sal: gave Dr. Moor his cue.
The antidote acts upon the poison
at which it is aimed long before the
other contents of the stomach have
had time to. destroy its antidotal pow-
Tbe thermometer touched 30 yes
terday morning. Ice was formed,
aud, but for the wind there would
have been a heavy frost. Farmers
doubtless took advantage of the cold
yesterday to slaughter hogs which had
not been killed. This reminds us that
an unusual amount of meat has bean
saved by the farmers of Thomas coun
ty. But little western meat will
omc here this year, certainly but
little to the farmers. Of course the
people in the towns and some others
always have to buy meat. It will be
the dawning brighter and better days
when these shall be supplied—as they
once r.c.e—with the home-raised
product. Speed the day when such
shall be the cases.—Daily T.-E. Feb.

A Splendid Picture.
Visitors to the library will notice a
new picture which has recently been
hung io the rooms of iLc rsiociation.
It is a crayou picture of the brilliant
and lamented Henry Grady, and is a
most striking likeness. It was bought
somo years ago by a personal friend
and great admirer-.of Mr. Grady,
Mayor Hopkins, and by him present
ed to the library association.
The gift is a timely and moat- ap
propriate one, and the mayor will rc>
ceive the thanks of the association for
hisgdnerous gift. Grady will long

Prof. Blythe's Sacred Concert at
the Mitchell House Sunday night was
a great success, and proved to be one
of the most classical programmes ren
dered by his orchestra this season.
Each number was well received and
the solos were exceptionally fine. Mr.
Blythe’s solo, Oh, Promise Me, was
very pleasing, his tone being remark
ably dear an<| soft, yet' possessing all
the degrees of brilliancy obtainable on
the cornet Mr. King's piano solo was
a gem of itcelf and deserves especial
mention, as did the flute and clarionet
dnett by Messrs. Elliott and Hodg
kins, the laUer*showing much execu
tion, causing many complimentary re
marks by the interested audience.
Taken as a whole, the concert was one
long to be remembered by those who
heard it.
In Memoriam.
By nquest wo copy the following
from the last issue of the Moultrie
Banner:
Little Mitu'e is gone, yes gone, to
rest never to fejl those horrid, tort
uring psius again. Litt'e Mittie
was born and raised in Thomas coun
ty, ccir Chastain. It was then that
we knew her a pr&t’ing chi’.d, yes it
was there we ’earned to love her for
hei sweet disposition and loving ways.
How oft was my breast filled with joy
to texr her sweet voice ia childish
play, but we will hear her no more on
eirib, but trust to join that same
»weet voice in realms ot bliss in praise
0.' Him who gave her life and being,
and Him who in his great wirdom has
seen fit to take her spotless soul back
to Heaven even in youth. When
axe was verging into womanhood she
mot Dr. G. C. Laney and became his
wife. They went to Moultrie to live,
and it was there that the Master saw
fit to lay the hand of affliction upon
her. No medical skill could prevent
her suffering. They finally moved
back to Chastain, hoping that
change would restore her, but alas,
friends and relatives conld not avail
anything. The sweet angel bore her
spirit from earth and all that was
earthly. She ia now in that beauti
ful city, where sickness and suffering
is felt no more. May God bless her
sorrowing relatives. I pray that they
may all meet her in that brighter
world. Niui*iE.
New York, Feb. 1.—The bottom
has dropped ont of the Bell telephone
monopoly, so far aa concerns private
lines. The patent on the Bell tele
phone expired Tneaday, and the Met*
ropolitan Telephone oompany, which
ia the local name of the Bell monopo
ly, created a sensation that day by
advertising to sell telephones at 12.50
each.
It looks as if there would be
a rapid fall in the price of te’ephonee.
Manufacturers are overstocked with
instruments, and a dozen or more
stores are selling them. In a month,
it is said, they will be down to $L
Iq caeei wkcro preparations of opi
um other lhaa the sulphate of mor
phine have been taken internally, Dr.
Moor has found that the antidote
should be acidulated with vinegar in
the proportion of one to five, and then
it proves efficacious at once.
The lapse of an hour or two will
not, ii :s thought, make the now anti
hte ussles3, though the couuteraction
mast necessarily be slower and le»
satisfactory in such cores.
Fortunately, opium and its alkaloids
are slow poisons, an 1 death seldom
ensues for some hours. It is this that
leads to the hope that the scope of the
new d'seyvery may bs far greater
than can as yet be seen. Of its im
portauce in the treatment of the mor
phine and opium habits, it is too ear
ly to speak authoritatively, hut, if Dr.
Moor’d opinion isconect, its ureful
ness in this direction will prove incah
culable.—Scientific American.

wounded man is Perry Moore, and his
brother-dnslaw, Crawford Ballew, lies

New York, Feb. 4.—James J. Cor

Sensible Talk.
The state liquor saloons of Sooth
Carolina have been decided failures
from a financial point of view, and
there is no evidence that they have
served in any degree to promote tem
perance and morality among the peo
ple of that state. According to offi
cial reports the administration of the.
law has already cost the state a trifle
of *460.000, while the receipts from
the traffic have been far short of the
expenditures. In this situation the
head barkeeper, Governor Tillman, is
planning amendments of the law in
order to make it more effective and to
increase the state revenues from li
quor. Ho might materially diminish
the cost of whisky and beer by setting
up.his own distilleries and breweries.
Corn is cheap in South Carolina, and
its rice and soghum would serve in
stead ot barley malt for making beer.
Bat it would be better for the state
to get out of the liquor business alto
gether, and let the people of South
Carolina buy their whisky and beer
wherever these commodities may be
obtained on the best terms—Phila*
delphia Record.
Tillmanism has been a curse to
South Carolina.
The senatorial entries so far are
Bacon, DuBignon and Colquitt. And
the entries are not all in. Turner’s

The senate should make short work
of the tariff bill. It has been discuss
ed enough. The country demands a
speedy settlement of the matter.

quantity of vegetables for the coming
season, which is now near at hand. .

Paris, Feb. 4.—Auguste Vaillant,
the anarchist who was convicted and
sentenced to death for throwing a
bomb in the Chamber of Deputies,
will be executed to morrow morning.
This settles the question, which has
for some days agitated Paris, whether
Vaillant wou'd die upon the guillo

A special to the Atlanta Journal
from Washington says:
Confidence in the passage of the
Wilson bill in the senate is at high
ebb. The only points of particular
contention a nong the democrats in
that body axe coal, sugar and the in'
come tax.
Strenuous efforts will bj made be
fore the committee to have taxes put
upon coal and sugar and to abolish
the income tax. It is not believed
now that any of these things will be
done.
Chairman Voorhees, of the senate
finance committee, said this moning
that the b ll would pass the seoate and
not take as long as ii generally ex
pected.
“The changes in the bill,” he said,
“will not bo very material, and I am
of the opinion that the senate will
surprise the country by the celerity
with which the Wilson bill is passed.
I look for the bill to be out of the
committee in two weeks."
Albany, Ga., Feb. 2.—The resigns
tion by Rev. E. B. Carroll, of the
postorate of the First Baptist church
of this city, has been accepted by the
church, and he will leave with his
family in ab jot a month for his now
field of labor at Vlneville. Mr, Car-
roll is an ab’e preacher and a good
man, and his departure from this city
causes great regret
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 1.—The widows
of confederate veterans of the state
are being paid their pensions to-day.
The books were opened at the office
of Secretary “Tip’' Harrison, early
th:s morning, and since then there has
been & steady stream of callers. There
are 4,100 in all, who receive $63 each.
The turn of the veterans comes March
On With the Fight.
One branch of congress has redeem
ed the pledge for tariff reform made
by the democratic party. Sixty-three
majority for the Wilson bill was a
striking endorsement of the measure,
especially when it is remembered that
many members wanted some sort of
protection—the very word is distaste
ful—to some local democrats. Well
done, democrats. You have given
the country a tariff, not framed in the
interest of monopolies, but in the
interest of the toiling masses. Now
let the senate take up the measure
and pat it through.
It is to be hoped that Mr. Morgan,
Mr. Pugh and other-senators who are
demanding concessions to local indus
tries, will rise above the narrow limits,
comparatively, of their own immediate
constituency, and voto for a measure
which promises to bring relief to the
millions. Stand by the Wilson bill
and all will be well. The democratic
senator who votes against it, on the
final vote, would prove recreant to his
party, and would deserve an early
and prompt retirement from the sen
ate of the United States.
Stand by the bill.
