LI flung Chang’s Appointment To
Treat for Peace.
Washington, Aug. 12—The
department of state makes public
the following imperial edict, ap
pointing Viceroy Li Hung Chang
as envoy plenipotentiary, to pro
pose & cessation of hostile demon
strations and negotiate with the
powers, a copy of which was de
livered by Mr. Wu to the acting
secretary of state this Sunday
morning at 10:30 o'clock.
An imperial edict forwarded by
the privy cotiucil at Pekin under
date of the 14th day the seventh
moon (Aug. 8) to Gov. Yuan at
Tai Nau, Shan I'nug, who traus
mitted it on tbe 17th day of tbe
same moon (Aug. 11) to tbe Tao
Tai at Sbaughai by whom it was
transmitted to Minister Wu, who
received it oo the night of tbe
same day (Aug 11 )
Tbe imperial edict as transmit
ted by tbe privy council is as
follows:
“la tbe prei-ent conflict between
Cblua and foreigners tbeie Las
been some misunderstanding on
tbe part of foreign nations and
also a want of proper management
on tbe part of some of the local
authorities. A clash of arms is
followed b> calamitous results and
causes a rupture of friendly rela
tions, which will ultimately do no
good to tbe world.
‘We hereby appoint Li Hung
Chang as our envoy plenipotenti
ary, with instructions to
propose at ouce by telegraph to
the governments of tbe several
powers concerned for the immedi
ate cessation of hostile demonstra
tions pending negotiations, which
he is hereby authorized to conduct
for our part, for tbe settlement of
whatever questions may have to
be dealt with. The questions are
to be severally considered in a
satisfactory manner and tbe re
sult of tbe negotiations reported
to us for sanction. Respect this.’’
Americans Killed by Russian Fire.
Che Foo, Aug. 13 —A terrible
mistake occurred at the taking of
Yang Tauu. The Rueei&n artil
lery opened fire on the American
troops, and before tbe mistake was
discovered many American sol
diers had been killed and wound
ed by Russiau shells. A part of
tbe casualtiee to tbe Fourteenth
Infantry was the result of the
Russian fire.
The Fourteenth participated ii
tbe attack on the trenches. A
the Chinese Red tbe regiment en
tered and occupied one of tbe
Chinese positions. A Russian bat
tery, some distance of!, did not
notice tbe movement and opened
fire on the position, planting shells
among the American troops. The
Russians were quickly notified
and ceased firing, and tbe Ameri
cans captured tbe Chinese works.
The casualties are estimated at
seventy.

A Good Outlook for a Corn Crop—The
Farmers* Mutual Insurance Co.
Mr. Robert Alexander has been
pretty well over the comty daring
the past week or two, iu the in
terest of the Farmers’ Mutual In
surance Co. of Thomas County
Mr. Alexander is a practical far
mer, ard be knows good crops
when be sees them
I have been very mupbetrw'sk,**
said be, yesterday, during a visit
to this office, “with the Hue out*
loot for a corn crop It la eepe*
oially fine in Cairo and Ways dis
tricts. Tbe indications are that
Thomas countv will make plenty
of corn to do her. Of course there
will be individual exceptions, but
where a farmer has been indus
trious and worked bia crop, the
big ears are found, and plenty of
them.
“I have noticed ,** continued
Mr. Alexander, “that tbe crop of
long cotton is particularly promis
ing wherever it has been aeon."
Speaking of Mr. Alexander'and
his connection with the Farmers’
Mutual Insurauee Co., reminds os
that that compaoy is rapidly
growing. Farmers are taking out
policies every week. It islander
stood that all losses are paid by
the assessment plan. Tfie'com
pany now hat $250,000 worth of
property iosured. Last year, after
paying all assessments'for losses,
it was found that vbe cost of in
snrancs was only $2 30 on
tbs $1,000. This is very cheap
inaorancs. And it is perfectly
good andaafe.
Is This an Ultimatum or What?
Washington, Aug. 9*—The fol
lowing communication to the im
perial government of China has
been given out by tbe state de
partment:
“We are availing ourselves of
the opportunity offered by tbe im
perial edict of the 5tb of August,
allowing to foreign ministers free
communication with their respect
ive governments in cipher, and
have sent a communication to
Minister Conger, to which we
await an answer.
“We are already advised by
him, in a brief dispatch received
Atig. 7, that imoerial troops are
firing daily upon tbe ministers in
Pekin. We demand tbe immedi
ate cessation of hostile attacks by
imperial troops upon tbe legations
and urge tbe exercise of every
power and energv of tbe imperial
government for the protection of
the legations and all foreigners
tbereiu.
We are also advised by tbe
same dispatch from Minister Con
ger that, iu his opinion, lor tbe
foreign minis’ers to leave Pekiu
as proposed in the edict of August
2, would be certain death. In
view of tbe fact that the imperial
troops are now firing upon the le
gations, and iu view of tbe doubt
expressed by the imperial govern
ment in its edict of August 2, as
to Us power to restore order and
secure absolute safety in Pekiu, it
is evident that this apprehension
is well founded, for if your gov-
erumeut cannot protect our minis
ter in Pekiu, it will presumptive
ly be uuable to protect him upon
a journey from Pekin to the coaet.
“We therefore urge upou the
imperial government that jt shall
adopt the course suggested in the
thirl clause of the letter of the
president to his majesty the
Emperor of China on July 23,
1900, aui enter into communica
tion with tbe relief expedition so
that co-operation may be secured
between them for the liberation
of tbe legations, tbe protection of
foreigners atid tbe restoration of
order. Such action on the part
of the imperial government would
be a satisfactory demonstration of
its friendliness and desire to at-
taiu these ends.

State Will Not Borrow Money
Atlauta, Aug. 9.—The state of
Georgia will not have to borrow
money this year as has been tie
custom for tbe past two years. In

“On to Pekin” Is Still The Cry.
Washington, Aug. 10.—Iu the
light the latest dispatch from
Minister Conger, received by the
State Department through Min
ister Wu to-day, the attitude of
tbe administration is that there
is but one thing to be done in the
present circumstances, namely,
to press on to the relief of the
besieged garrison at Pekin. This
was made known after extended
communications between Wash
ington and the president at Can
ton. The Conger dispatch was
accepted as showing conclusive
justification for the imperative
demand ol the Uuited States sent
to the Chinese Government on
Wednesday night, insisting that
the imperial troops co-operate
with the international forces in
the rescue of the Ministers, and
nutil this condition, as well as
that for the cessation of bombard
ment, is fully conceded by China,
there is no other course opeu but
to press steadily onward in the
mission of relief.
conger’s message
Washington, Aug. 10.—The
Department of State made public
day the followiug telegram
from Minister Conger, which was
received by Minister Wu late last
night, being contained in a tele
gram sent to him by the Tao Tai
of Shanghai. It was bandod by
Minister Wu to the acting Secre
tary of State at 9 o’clock this
morning:
‘Secretary-ofState, Washing,
ton: The Tsung Li Yamen states
tbe diplomatic body that the
various foreign Governments have
repeatedly asked through the
respective Chinese Ministers that
immediately depart from
Pekin under suitable escort. The
yamen asks us to fix a date for
our departure, and to make- the
necessary arrangements to do so.
Our reply is that we will seek
instructions from our Govern
ments, and that in tbe absence of
such instructions, we cannot quit
our posts.
1 must inform yon that in
order to insure our safe departure,
foreign troops only can safely
escort us, and tboy must be suffi
cient force to safely guard eight
hundred foreigners, including
twobuudred women and ohildren,
as well as three thousand native
Christians, who oauuot be aban-
doned to certain massacre. We
cannot accept a Chinese escort
under any circumstances.
All my colleagues are dis
patching tbe foregoing to their
respective Government. Of tbe
American marines, seven have
been killed and sixteen wounded,
among the latter Captain Myers
and Dr. Lippett, who are getting
along nicely. Conger.
At Avondale.
The military of Savannah have
one of tbe finest shooting ranges
in the United States. And it wil*
be the scene of an interesting con
test between teams from the mili
tary of Georgia on the 3rd and
4th of September.
Major Lee Wyliy, of the 4th
Regiment, was in towu yesterday,
talking about the coming rifle
contests at Avondale. He is tak-
ing great interest in the matches.
His regiment has a large number
of qualified “marksmen” and a
number of sharpshooters, and will
show np with a number of teams.
Each company in the several regi
ments of the state’s troops is en
titled to send five men, provided
they b&ve qualified. Ten men
ill be allowed at large from each
regiment. The state has agreed
to pay, from its military fund, the
expenses of the contest. Each
man will be allowed transportation
and 75 cents per diem.
It is settled that Thomasville,
Bainbridge, Waycross, Columbus
and Albany will send teams.
As compared with other regi
ments in the state, except the 1st,
the 4tb is far ahead in its ntim
her of qualified marksmen and
sharpshooters.
It is hoped these contests at
Savannah’s magnificent range
ill be a feature of the future,
number of very baudeotne
trophies are to be shot for, and
Savannah shots will have to look
to their laurels, or the wirograss
boys will carry some of these
trophies home with them.
Eutries must be made to Col.
Canu, Inspector General of Rifle
Practice, three days before the
match opens.
Tbomanville will seud down a
five which will probably be heard
from, when tbe scores are an
nounced. Capt Smith and some
of his officers and men have been
doiug some excellent practice
shooting.
Half Million Bales Sold,
New York, Aug- 10.—The Au
gust report from Washington re
specting the condition of tbe cot
ton crop produced almost a panic
among the shorts on the Cotton
Exchange to-day. For a long pe
riod they had been operating on
the theory that the crop situ
ation was of a high average, igno
ring contradictory advice*. At
noon the official report was an
nounced. It showed the average
condition of tbe crep to be 76 per
cent, agaiust 84 per cent in An*
gust last year.
This was worse than tbe most
daring bull bad presumed to hint
There was a wild dash tocov
er short cootracts. There was
enormous baying, also, by a class
of-traders which had beeo waiting
for some such report to throw con-
sternation in tbe ranks of the
shorts and justify a bull compaigu.
Every thing offered was taken aud
the market advanced by rapid
leaps, so that within a few min
utes after the announcement of
the report, prices were 20 or 21
points above the closing of yester
day. Still later, business increas*
ed the advance to 24<&29 points.
It is estimated that the transao
lions in cotton futures to-day did
not fall far from half a million
bales, or abont opto the maqimnm
record.

Populist Nominees For County
Officers.
It will be remembered that tbe
populists, some time ago, ordered
a primary to nomiate county of
fleers. A committee, consisting
of Dr. J. B. Watkins, Dr. Cassidy,
J. M. Simmons and J. M. Culpep
per, concluded the consolidation
Friday, and announce the fol
lowing as the result:
For Representatives—J. M.
Ward, Jr., J. M. Pilcher.
Ordinary—W. H. Hudson.
Clerk of Court—J. A. Chastain.
Sheriff—W. H. Collins.
Tax Receiver—W. McMillen.
Tax Collector—Paul Dixon.
Treasurer—J. M. Gandy.
Coroner—I. D. Singletary.
For Surveyor—L. Stevenson and
J. W. Evans tied.
For County Commissioners, full
term—Jesse House, Wm. Single
tary, J. E. McMillen.
For short term—Lewis Rigsby.
Elections were held at the
Tbomasville, Ocblockonee, Cairo
and Murphy districts, and an in
formal poll taken at Ways, so we
are informed by Dr. Watkins.
We have not been advised as to
bow many votes were polled, but
it is safe to say that the vote was
not a heavy one.
Three of the gentlemen named,
Messrs. Dixon, Stevenson and
Evans, have published cards de
clining to accept any nominations
at tbe hands of the populists.
The democrats have nominated a
strong and entirely satisfactory
ticket for county officers, and
they will be elected without the
shadow of a doubt.
They were once called “parson
ages,” now they are called pasto-
riums. Well, well.
The world is loud in its praise
of tbe Japanese troops. They are

Married In Atlanta.
The following card has been re
ceived by a number of the friends
of the high contracting parties in
Thomasville:
“Toe Reverend George Sherwood
Whitney and Miss JnliaFredencka
Stark announce their marriage
on Thursday, August the ninth,
oue toonsand nine hundred, At

The groom is, and has been for
several years, rector of St. Thomas
church, and is held in high es
teem, uot only by his own congre
gation, but by other denomina
tions and all classes of citizens.
Tbe bride was born and reared in
Thomasville. She is the daugh
ter of the late John Stark, aud
has always been foremost in every
good work in the town. Sfce will
make a model help meet for her
husband.
The Times-Enterprise begs to
tender sincere congratulations,
and to wish tor the newly wedded
pair a long life of happiness, pros
perity and usefulness.

The Road May Be Built.
Our Thomasville readers will be
interested in the following from
the Macon Telegraph :
‘Some interesting railroad talk
is being indulged in just now.
number of H&wkineville
people, who have beau in Macon
lately, say that there are rumors
in the air in that city and section—
rumors which they seem to think
well founded and likely to mate
rialize—to tbe effect that a rail
road le soon to he built from Haw
kinsvilie to Thomasville, via Cor
dele, thus making, by the combi
nation of a few short lines, a
through trank line from Augusta
to the coast.
'The talk upou this subject is
to the effect that Macon capitalists
•re interesting themselves In the
movement, and that the initial
steps of the enterprise have already
been takeu; that the rigbte-of
way are being purchased, contract*
made, etc.
Should this contemplated road
be constructed, it would pass
through a magnificent section of
country and throw Augusta and
all pointo along tbe line in direct
communication with the golf
coast.’*
Five In a Bunch.
Five sinners were lined up be
fore Judge Roddenbeiry Fri
day morning, and with oue ac
cord they plead guilty to the
charges preferred against them.
Ed Donalson, colored, charged
with stealing brasses, was given
$50, fine or 10 months on the
gang.
Willie O’Brien aud Charley
Howell, both white, charged
ith the same offense, wore
given, in the case of O’Brien
$75 or 10 months, and
Howell $25 or 9 months. The
other two, John Perry and Will
Miller, both colored, charged i
stealing rides on the railroad,
were given each $25 or 6 months
i the gang.
As they are all among the im
pecunious class, they will doubtless
do time at Brices for the respect
ive periods mentioned. The
Brooks county authorities
expected up on Monday to take
charge of the boys.
. A Handsome Pamphlet.
Messrs. Miller & Dean, princi
pals of the South Georgia College,
have issued an artistic and ele
gantly gotten up pamphlet, cover
ing tbe proposed line of study
and management of the institution
for the next scholastic year. The
pamphlet gives the curriculum
and a greatgdeal of informarion
which will be of interest to parents
and guardians. As a “Boys
8cbool” they expect to make the
8outh Georgia College equal to
tbe best institutions of the kind
in the state.
The pamphlet referred to was
gotten out in the Timbs-Entkr-

model of neatness and mechanical
skill.
