TIMES-ENTERPRSE, THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA APRIL, 16, .1904
WILL BE PRIMARY-
I'Cltlnm Assure* Tlm**-Ent*rprl»*
that State Offleera will balVotad fbr.
The article in Friday's Timea-En
terpriae to the effect that there tree a
jmesibility that no primary to Tote for
state houae oAcera, would be held in
Thomas oonnty created no small amount
af comment in political circles. The
politicians had hardly realized that the
time waa so close and no arrangements
had been made for the primary.
Yon may say to the people that there
will be a primary held in Thomasrille at
whatever the oonntry districts
do" said 8enator H W Hopkins. I will
volunteer my services as a judge or
elerk, and I will see to it that enough
freeholders are on hand to hold a legal
election. I think the people will volnn.
teer throughout the country and a foil
■primary will bo held.
Capt. E. P. Doss said "I will volun
teer my services and will be glnd to act
as judge or clerk on April twentieth. It
used to be that we held primaries with-
out compensation to the officials, and 1
reckon we can get up enough men with
patriotism enough to serve.”
Mr. W. J. Taylor and a number of
other gentlemen have offered to contri
bute to the expenses of a primary, and
their assurances make it certain that the
voters will have a chance to express their
opinion oh state house officers a week
from next Wednesday
There are strong supporters of each of
the quartette of contestants, in .Thomas
county. The bar of the town favors
Jndge 8lmmons, and the older men, are
in line for him. There is a good strong
Roasell rentiment among the younger
men, and in the country districts,
number of visitors to the city have re
cently expressed themselves to
Times-Enterprise as favoring Jndge
Bussell, One young lawyer in town is
both talking and working for'Russell
and has at least fifty votes ready to
awing in the Hassell column on election
day. So the people who have been say
ing that the county is solid for Simmons
may have a surprise in store for them
when tho votes are counted.
Then is also a great deal of diverse
Jfewytiment about the race for prison com
mission. One man said "we know too
much about Turner and too little about
8trickland." Judge Turner, tho present
incumbent undoubtedly queered himself
wi^h a large number of people in Ills ac
tions in the DoOrts affair. His opponent
may be able to overcome the strong po
litical influence of the powers that be—
. and defeat him in Thomas county.
NO DAMAQE.
Fruit Seams Not to Hava Been In
jured.
The weather bureau at Macon start
led the natives Sunday night by sending
ont a scarry looking bulletin announ
cing “frost tonight.” If the Times-En-
terprise weather man hadn't been off
taking Sunday lie would no doubt have
gone out and sounded the alarm bell.
Fortune served him well though, for
the wolf didn't come. Some few care
ful people covered np tender plants, and
Mien repented of their trouble.
This is the anticipated cool spell that
has kept fruit men uneasy, and every
body is breathing quietly again. Reports
from Atlanta indicate that although a
light frost fell 8unday and yesterday
mornings it did no material damage.
The fruit crop is now regarded as safe.

A South Georgia Convert Apologizes
fbr Not Being Converted Sooner.
The extract below is taken from an
eves unusually charming letter from
the pen of Rev. Alex W. Beeler. The
letter appeared in a recent Issue of the
Atlanta.Joumal and portrays most typi
cally the feelings of every South Geor
gia convert. The editors of the Times-
Enterprise can themselves agree with
Mr. Bealer that ignorance is the only
excuee for every Georgian not being a
South Georg&m.
“This. South Georgia oonntry. is in
deed a wonderful place. The thing that
puzzles me now is to know how I kept
ont of it so long, to know why everybody
doesn’t come here to live. It is a land
of song and story, a land of sunshine
and balmy breezes, a land where dream-
ers lire, men who dream and then work
oat their dreams Ujito realities. Foils
are always laughing at tho day dream,
era, bat if men stopped dreaming I don't
know what would become of us. We’d
all descend to be hewers of wood and
drawers of water. The dreamers of the
world have been its benefaotora. Watts
dreamed above the kettle singing on the
hearth and as a result of his dreams the
air of the world is throbbing with the
whir of wheels. Stephenson dreamed a
dream of moving out by steam and today
his dream is seen in the mighty engine,
as it goes thundering like a thing of life
throughout the land. Edison, the wiz
ard, dreamed as he saw the flash of the
electric spark andfeltlts power and men
mil over the world are working by day
and working through the night in the
power and in the light of dream.
I,’ it's a good thing to spend u little
now and then In dreaming and
indeed mnst be the soul of the man,
who oaunot dream as he walks through
the beauties of a South Georgia spring
time. The air has warmed the earth
and the April showers are fertilizing I t.
Gardens are blooming and I expect with
in a week to be eating fresh green peas
from mlqe, and in ten days I will get a
mess of snap beans. Onr farmers are
putting in big crops and they expect to
reap an abundant harvest. This 1s a
groat country in whioh to grow things,
corn, oottou, sugar cane, potatoes and
men. They all do w ell and thrive here.

RUSSIANS RETREAT.
Scarcity of Provisions Forest Them
Baok Over Yalu.
New York, April H.—The Toklo cor
respondent of the Times cables that
Japanese reports suggest that the scarci
ty of provisions and forage was prob

By Japanese Troops has Commenced

Toklo, April 7.—The Japanese inva

fighting men of the Mikado are swarm,

are establishing themselves in strong
positions.
The advance of the Japanese into
Manohurta began yesterday, when a
portion of the imperial guard crossed
the river at Wiju.
Tho passage of the Yalu was unop
posed, although a detachment of Cos

Japanese advanced.

er was effected by the Japanese, and a
