NEW OPERA HOUSE.
Rumor Saya Circuit Manager May
Establish one Hora-
A gentleman well posted iu theatrical
affairs says that Thomasville may huve
another Opera House before next win
ter’s theatrical season opeu*.
Mr. Jake Wells, one of the best known
theatrical managers in the couutry Sins
charge of a circuit embracing Richmond,
Va., Norfolk, Va., Birmingham, Ain.,
Atlanta and Augusta Ga. It is possi
ble that he may include Thoumsvilto in
his circuit aud bring the many conqia-
uies under his management here.
This much is certain, that he has
opened negotiations with the owners of
desirable property with a prospect of
building au opera house.
The rumor is interesting ami if Mr.
Wells does include Thomasville iu his
circuit this town will witness some
splendid theatrical attractions.
For Criminal Trespass.
Sheriff Hight arrested Dennis Smith
a colored man, on the charge of crimi
nal tresjiass Friday afternoon. Ho
had been cutting down tre es on the
land which another|[negro named t Har
rison, claims is his. Smith says the liu
had never been run, and that if he had®
known, wh°re he was cutting, it would
have been a case of “Woodman spare
that tree."
No arrangements liavo yet 1h*ou mad'?
for holding the state primary in Thom
as county on April 20th. When a coun
ty primary is held the candidates for
the several offices pay the expenses of
clerks and judges, by assessment,
tho majority of the counties In Geor
gia the state aud couuty primaries are
held on the same day, and as there is no
additional expense for the state primary,
the couuty officers pay the entire
amount.
This year however tne couuty prima
ry will not bo hold until August 19th
aud the state primary is set for April
20th. There nro 13? counties iu Georgia
and it would bankrupt the aspirants for
state olllcos to pay for primaries iu each
of them.
Capt. C. l\ llausell chairman of the
county executive committe w.ui inter
viewed by a Timwe Enterprise represen
tative aud said that ho knew nothing of
the arrangements for the primary on
the twentieth. He suid that tho county
executive committee, or the couuty of
Thomas, would not pay for a primary
for state offieors, and that unless a suffi
cient number of qualified free holders
would volunteer, tho probabilities were
that no primary would be held.
There are not many contests nor is
tiiore great interest iu state politics this
year. The only opposition is that of
Judge Richard Russell agaiust Onicf
Justice Simmons for the Supreme Court,
aud Judson M. Strickland against J. S.
Turner for the prison commission.
Thomas county lias six votes iu the con
vention however, and is one of the “big
counties in the state. It is hardly
probable that the men who need votes
will see the the primary day go by un
marked by voting. The situation is a
peculiar one.
