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. DOTHAN POSTMASTER.

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. Young man, if yon want td grow, nome to South Georgia “ RUSSIANS RETREAT. Scarcity of Provisions Forest Them Baok Over Yalu.
