At the meeting of the city council Mon day night the electric light propositicn was considered.

This proposition, will if the conncil so votes be presented to the people of Thomas- ville at an ol ection called for. that pur pose. It will bo renfemberod that the coun cil several weeks ago, referred the ques tion of tha municipal ownership of the electric light plant back to the petition ers, with a request for more defiuite information on the subject. The petitioners, represented by R. H. Neel, 8. R. Robison, F. H. Smith, M. R. Mallotte, F. D. Dismuke, Jos. P. Evans, A. P. Harley and W. H.

The petitioners further reported that they wished to have these questions submitted to the voters of tlx- city and tliata joint com mittee of council and citizens to te known as “The Special Electric Light Commit re,” be empowered to prepare fair and negotiable contracts to bo rat ified by the council and people at an election. NO SINGLE 8HOT3. Candidate McLendon Makea Sugges tion to Exaeutive Committee. Thomasville, Ga. April 30th 1904, Editors Times-Enterprise. In your issue of today yon are guilty of a slight departure from yonr usual felicitous style. Yon speak of my “three opponents.” I am sure that Messrs. Mitchell, Singletary and Roun tree, are not, all three, my opponents, and I am also sore that X am not oppos ing all tliree of them, uor indeed am I conscious of opposing any oue of them. At the written request of nearly two lmudred of the best citizens of the coun ty, and the verbal request of many others of the same class, I have con sented to oiler for one of Thomas coun ty’s three seats in the House of Repre sentatives. The three gent lemon nam ed are my iiersoual friends and so is Mr. J. 8. Ward Jr. whom you name as a possible candidate. Not one of these gentlemen will ever liave any heart ache, from anything I may say, or do, in this, or any ^ other matter. The office belongs (Bfie people of this county nud I belie^Hlie Democra tic party, or its Executive Committee, in order to secure a full and free ex pression from the people, would do well to adopt the rale that in the primary, uo ballot for Representative should be oonnted that did not contain the names of three candidates. This would be perfectly just and fair to all candidates and above tliat, and far more impor tant than the interests of any particular candidate, it would insure the sending of three members to the House who would be the real choice of all the peo ple.

Will Not Continue Anothor Year'.With Young's Fomalo College. Mr. VV. R. Owing* ha* resigned the presidency of Young’s Female College, to take effect at the close of this year’s Dcssion. The resignation has been ac cepted by the boartl of trustees. Mr. Owings came to Thomasville last July to accept the presidency of the collegeandsince tliat time he lias labor ed in season and out of season for the success of the institntiou. He had an almost Hercnlean job before him to build up a respectable school in so lim ited a time. The college was not ad vertised, no patrons were booked and np improvements made. It is believed now that Young’s Fe male College is an established Fact and that Thomasville can count upon it as a coming school of this section of Geor- ft has not been positively docided yet as to who will be chosen to succeed Mr. Owings; whoever he may be, a lighter job confronts him tlian was in the path of his’predecessor. Mr Owings has been tendered tho. po sition of evangelist of Macon Presbytery and it is possible tliat he may accept it. Thomasville at any rate hopes that his abors wiU be in this field. 1 LEASE RENEWED. HARVEYS WOOD WILL MANAGE PINfY [WOODS. Thomasville people will receive with surprised gratification tho rows that Harvey & Wood have sigued a contract for the Piney Woods for another sea son. Ramors have been rife since the clos ing of the hotel that the Bostonians had left Thomasville for good. It is only another proof of how unreliable a mis tress Madam Humor is. Harvey & Wood have managed the Piney Woods with marked success for several seasous and tl.o fact that tiiey have taken up their option for liX).*> is proof of tho profitableness of Thomas- ville as a winter resort proposition. Last year Honey & Wood did not re new their loasu until late in August and it was generally supposed then that they had other plans in view. The Piney Woods was their Mte witter lease this year. With so loj^Rotue it is thought that much more^Hstivc advertising can b6 done. Tsr FOR MONROE COLLEGE ict ur Will b Giv n Here on May 27th.

A dividend addition of $130.84 will be added to the original amount of the policy eadfc* year, payable if death occurs during the accmitlation period. To make this plainer still if the death of the insured should occur at any time, from the first to the twentieth year, the face of the policy, $10,000, together with forty per cent, of all premiums paid, will be paid the beneficiary. This would make the ACTUAL COST of the protection to be only sixty per cent, of the premiums paid. A man can buy $1,000 of this iusurance as cheap as the man who buys $10,000. The COST is LESS for YOUNGER men, and MORE for OLDER men. Take This Policy Now, and Its Offerings.
