THOMASVILLE, GA.:
TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1867.
TO CIVIL AND MILITARY
OFFICERS.
Gen Pope having issued an order
prohibiting all civil and military offi
cers in the Third Military District,
from advertising in newspapers oppos
ed to Reconstruction under the Acts
of Congress, all such officers, in Thom
as and the adjoining counties, are
hereby notified that their advertise
meats will be published South
ern Enterprise free of charge, during
the period Gen. Pope’s order shall
continue in force.
FLETCHER INSTITUTE.
We oommend to the friends of edu
cation, the communication we publish
to-day signed “Education.” The sug
gestion made by the writer, to place
Fletcher Institute upon College foot
ing, is one that recommends itself se
riously to the public in this section.
A College for the graduation of young
men and young ladies is needed in
Tuoiuasviiitt, and would redound to
the interests of Thomasville and the
whole section of country. The locality
and society are unexceptionable, while
the facilities and cheapness will com.
pare favorably with any other place in
the State. The gentlemen alluded to
by our correspondent are all lie claims
for them, and we would be pleased to
see them occupying the position he
suggests. Will our people take the
subject ioto consideration ? Wo trust
they will. This is our home, if we
have any on earth, and it is our duty
as well as our interest to build up our
educational institutions, and surround
and fortify ourselves with all the fa
cilities to good taste, education and re
finement.
SURGICAL OPERATION.
The operation on the head of our
friend, Major Terrell’s child has been
performed, and thus far with success.
This performance took place in Thom
asville on Monday morning of the
prpsent week. It was ascertained that
the brain had been penetrated in one
or two places by pieces of the fractur
ed skull, and it was necessary to re
move a prrtion of the brain. This,
however, is no particular cause of dis.
couragement, if fever does notseverely
intervene. It is needless for us to re
mark that the most lively interest is
felt in the community for the success
of this very serious case.
We clip the above from the Bain .
bridge Southern. Georgian of last
week and take pleasure in staling
that the child referred to is rapidly
recovering. It is walk'rig about and
talking, and no further danger is ap
prehended from the wound. In jus
tico to the able Surgeon who perform
ed this dangerous operation so success
fully, we take the liberty of staling
that the parents are indebted to the
well known abilit yof our fel ow citi
zen, Dr. Robert J. Bruce.
HARD QUESTIONS.
The Maoon Telegraph puts two hard
questions to the Atlanta New Era,
Gen. Pope’s organ. They aro as fol
lows :
First —“Dees tho editor of the Era
approve the withdrawal of patronage
from newspapers beoause of an honest
difference of political opinion ?”
Second —“While the Reconstruction
hills leavo the people of tho South free
to accept or reject them, dues the edi
tor of the New Era hold it right for
thoso who think proper to exercise (hat
privilege in accordance with their
judgment of what is right und best for
the country.”
The Telegraph bogs the Era, not to
dodge the question, but wo may safely
predict that the Radical organ of tho
Pope administration will shelter itself
behind a long article of bosh, upon tho
right of the conquerors over the con
quered, &o.

logue ol tho operations of tho übove

THE SHOOTING AFFAIR AT
BOSTON.
We havo received a communication
from James B. Hancock, the party
shi t in tho above affair, correcting in
his opinion the written information
published last week on the same sub
ject. Wc have no room to day, but
will give Mr. IPs version in our Fri
days issue, and venture to hope no j
further recrimination will be published.
ARRIVAL OF THE FIRE
ENGINE.
The splendid Fire Engine for Nep
tune Fire Company, arrived in Thom
asville by passenger train on Monday
morning, accompanied by a large dele
gation from the Savannah Fire De-1
partmoht, headed by Mr. Janies M.
Barron acting chief ot Deputation. On
arrival at the depot the officers of
Neptune Fire Company received and
escorted them to the Hotel.
At 9 o'clock, Neptune Fire Company
formed and escorted the delegation to
the depot, wore the engine was re
moved from the train and paraded
through the streets, then carried to the
pond where the trial took place The
engine did not project as far as was
expected, but this was doubtless ow
ing to the want of muscle, for the boys
were by this time very much fatigued
under the effects of immensely hot
weather. After trial she was taken to
the hotel where the Savannah Deputa
tion, Neptune Fire Company and a
large number of citizens assembled.
Mayor Harris then formally rei
ccived the report of the Committee
from the Council, appointed to exam
ine and report upon the engine, which
report was favorable, when Phillip M.
Russell, Keq , President of the Ogle
thorpe Fire Company, introduced Mr
R. W. Saucy, of the Metropolitan,
who, in a short but chaste and elo
qu:nt address, returned thanks for
courtesies, &c.
Mayor Harris responded in his
usual felicitous style, and transferred
the Engine to Neptune Fire Company,
who also responded in a pleasant man
ner through Mr. Jeffers, Foreman.
Several other gentlemen were called
on to speak, among whom was Col. P.
McGlashan, who said “dinner was
ready,” and forthwith all hands ad
journed to the dinner table, where a
sumptuous feast had been prepared.
After dinner Mayor Harris was call
ed upon for a toast and said, “Gentle
men, I pledge you in this glass of cold
water, the clement to be used by our
Neptune in subduing tho opposite cle
ment fire. Success to the Savannah
Fire Department, tho Thomasville Fire
Department, and the well wishers of
Fire Departments everywhere.’’
Phillip M. Russell was then called
upon and responded as follows:
“To the Ladies of Thomasville, who
con kindle aflame that even Neptune,
with all his power cannot extinguish.”
Mr. Lamotte of the Savannah Her
ald, being called upon, said, “ The
Press: —May its freedom never be
trammeled, but may its rights and pow
ers remain unimpaired, to battle in the
cause of religion, liberty and law.”
Champagne corks popped like skir
mishers coming into action, and gen
eral good feeling prevailed. Several
other gentlemen, uinong them, Mr.
Saucy, Maj. Delanoy, Wayne Russell,
Es M. M. Va'leau, Col. P. McGlu
shun and Foreman G. A. Jeffers, were
called on for toasts, and all responded
in sentiments favorable to Savannah;
Thomasville, the old Washington, Nep
tune, Woman and the able mid efficient
President and Superintendent of the
Atlantic & Gulf' Railroad, who gener
ously passed the Fire Engine and the
Savannah deputation, ovor their road
free of charge.
GEN. POPE AND THE PRESS-
Wo were upon the point of writing

COUNTY CONVENTION.
The Tallahassee Sentinel publishes
a numerously signed call for a Con
vention of Leon County, of all good

the purpose of considering Stato or
ganization, and the forming of a State
Constitution guaranteeing equal rights
and privileges to all, without proscrib
ing any.
[FOR TUB SiUTIIKRN ENTIiUPRISK.]
Mr. Editor :—The subject of edu
cation is one of the greatest moment,
and in our changed circumstances,
economy in educating our sous and
daughters is intrinsically connected
with it. Many who onco were able to
send off their sons and daughters are
not now able, and yet they more car
nest’y dosiro it, than ever before. Can
they bo assisted ? Is there a remedy?
1 am glad to ho nblu to say there i«.
Wliero is Fletcher Institute? Is it
not n regularly chartered institution ?
If so, why scud our sons and daugh
ters to other institutions, building
them up, and leave the institution at
our very doors to lie m ruins for want
of money to make necessary repairs
and patronage to make it as good an
institution as there is in the State.—
Mr. Raker, the President, is a finished
scholar and a perfect Christian gentle
man. None who know him us a sol
dier can doubt of his being worthy of
all praiso. Give him the patronage
and enable him to gather about him
u core of assistants, sucli ns can bo
found, even in our midst, and parents
may reca ll their sons and daughters,
for Fletcher Institute oan and will
give them us thorough an education as
any of the famed institutions of the
Stato
Forgive me, Mr. Editor, to name a
name tfiut is a tower of intellectual
nlnlity, Col. Rockwell, long known to
this community, associated with Mr.
Raker, and 1 ask no better, nor do 1
believe they can bo surpassed. Rut
why write about Fletcher Institute,
the male department is in ruins,
t Where are the fathers who have
sons and daughters to educate, that
they do not arouse from their lethargy
jnd put the institution in good order?
Col Seward, a perfect prodigy of en
ergy, Col. Alexander, Major Spencer,
and Col. Mclntirc, men of sterling
worth. If they but put forth their
energies the work is accomplished, and
we will have a College in our midst
worthy of Thom .svill-3, at which our
son 4 and daughters' may be educated
and become as polished stones.

TO THE MEN OF COLOR IN
THOMAS COUNTY.
Number 12,.
This is my last number inf which I
shall address jou, and I have very lit
tle more to say. I have, in ray former
numbers, endeavored to show you,
that your highest, best and lasting in
terests . consist in liring quietly at
home among your own people, and
shunning every foreign ingredient that
may be brought in anong you to in
terrupt your peace. Give not the
slightest attention to foreign mission
aries, for their wohle intention is to
turn you over to the use and service of
their masters, whethir they come to
you in the character of preaohers,
teachers or lecturers. They come sor 1
the purpose of beiufitting themselves,
but not you. Keep aloof from all
their unions, leagues and entangling
alliances. Commit yourselves to none
of them. Wait until you inform your
selves and know something about their
associations and societies. When they
approacii you with fiauery and promi
ses, ask them for their authority for
making them, and .what is to be your
security for their performance. Call
for tho documents; when they give
you their promises,-tell them that they
amount to nothing that you can rely
on. In a word, if you want to keep
out of trouble, have nothing to do with
their missionaries, preachers, teachers,
'lecturers or politicians ; nor their asso l
ciations, unions or leagues. There is
something very flattering to be retired
and associated nmong yourselves, but
cannot you do all this without having
a sneaking Yankee among you to lead
you about like a set of children ?
Above all, be careful of the missiona
ries and lecturers of your own oolor
who come among you. They are all
the tools of cunning politicians who
are working the w res behind the cur
tains. When they approach you tell
thorn you are free men and can attend
to your own business without their as
sistance. Indeed these toolsjntend no
assistance to you Their sole object
is to lead you astray, and to turn you
ovor to be used for political purposes
by the Yankees.
I'i/Ik Watson, a colored man living
in Franklin county, in the State of
Tennessee, .lately wrote as follows:
“ I deem it my duty to s'ate, that I
was a member of the Loyal League in
this place , but after being a member
for some time, and finding that it was
no place for a colored man, I have
withdrawn. In witlulrawing, I would
appeal to my colored fellow citizens to
abandon the League and let us join
the great Conservative party, whose
motto is universal amnesty and itn
partial suffrage ” So writes Polk Wat
son. While I join him with my ad
vise to abandon the League, I advise
you to keep away from all other asso*
ciations of a similar kind until you
know their exact object and meaning.
You have all heard of Fred Dou
glas. lie is a man of your oolor ot
unusual smartness, and has labored
energetically in the abolition oause be
foro emancipation. What is his re
ward from tlioso Yankees, Hear his
own words, as delhered in a reoent
speech at Portsmouth, in tho Yankee
Stato of New Hampshire. His words
are aa follows : “All the whito men
were alike responsible for slavery and
alike guilty, and tho black man’s pro
tended friends among them were no
better than the rest.’’ lie said he was
once pulled out ot a coach in Roslon
for being a black man. And these
Bostonians have been at tho head of
the pack, for the lust forty years, yell
ing after tho white man at tho South
for his bud treatment to the black man.
Never connect yourself with such in
tolerable hypocrites.
I now leuvo you. I think I have
told you enough, and given you good
advice enough to keep you out of trou
ble. I hope you will profit by it.

Educating the Freedmen—A
Catechism.
Being decidedly in favor of educa
ting the freedmen, we propose assist
ing in that work by submitting a few
simple questions and answers, which
for their own good they should learn :
Q. Reing now free men, what is
your first duty as citizens?
A. To provide rneaus to support our
families and to educate our chddren.
Q. How do you propose to do this ?
A. Ry bodily labor and by practi
cing economy.
Q. Is there are hindrance to your
enj lying the reward of that labor ?
A. Yes. Wo are almost exclusively
employed in raising cotton, on which
we must pay a tax of 2 12 cents a
pound.
Q. How much would that tax
amount to if you should make four
bags of cotton ?
A. Fifty dollars.
Q Do you have the tax to pay every
year ?
A. Yes. And tho harder we work
and the more cotton we raise the more
tax we havo to pay.
Q. Do laborers in the North have
to pay such tax on their daily labor ?
A. No. That tax is only put on
cotton, which they do not raise there.
Q. What class of day laborers in
the South arc chiefly engaged in culti
vating cotton ?
A. Freedmen, almost exclusively,
so that the tax becomes a tax on the
daily toil of freedmen, with few ex
ceptions.
Q. Who put that tax on cotton ?
A. The Congress of th e United
States.
Q. What party was in power when
that tax was imposed ?
A. The Radical party and it has
been ever since.
Q. Does the Radical party give you
anything in return for the tax you pay
—such as representation in Congress ?
A. No. They say Alabama is not
one of the United States and has no
business in Congress.
Q. How is that ? If Alabama is
not one of tho United States, why do
they make her pay taxes to the Uni
ted States ?
A. That’s a hard question, and wo
can’t answer it.
Q. Do they not give you some of
fices that pay well ?
A. They say black men should not
run for office.
Q. Do you say, then, that the Radi
cals who make you nay that heavy tax,
give you nothing for it ?
A. Well, tho/s«y they set us free,
and that we oan now get pay for what
we do.
Q. Rut arc you free when you are
made to pay them a large part of what
you earn, just as you did to your old
master, when you hired your time?
A. It don’t look so; bcoauso then
master supported our families, and
now we must support them ourselves,
and pay money besides.
Q Rut lias thr*. Radical party that
requires this tax, not given you any
thing else ?
A. Yes. They let us vote.
Q. Rut, if they wont let you vote
for your own peoplo and elect them to
offioo, what good doos your vote do ?
A. Well, wc don’t know how that
is.
Q. Don’t it look li'<c paying a big
price for the privilege of keeping men
in office who take from you your own
money ?
A. It docs look so.
Q. What could you do with that fif
ty dollars, if you hud cot to pay it
over in taxes ?
A. Wfwi-uld buy somo good clothes
for our families, or pay for schooling
our children, or by saving it a few
years, buy a little farm ot our own.
Q. Do you not think, then, that it
is very foolish to hi long tea party and
keep it in power, that makes you pay
so much for nothing, when you might
put it to such good use ?
A. It does look so, and we’ll think
about it before wo vote. —Livingston
