Go. to work for Parker. I would prefer that my friends favor him to the exdu. sion of any other candidate. Let no other man step in and beat him. If the convention should dedde that 1 should be nominated, then well and good, but otherwise 1 would prefer to see Parker oar next President." Tills is Senator Gorman’s statement. It removes a strong factor from the race and brings strong support to the Parker cause.

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. GEORGIA L.RYCO. J SCHEDULE EFFECTIVE Feb. 2t,’o4 SOUTHBOUND.
