Morgan Tindall and Themnaen Released- The preliminary trial of Arch and Morgan Tindall and Matthew Thompson, charged with the murder of Mm.. Urn Stripe*, wan held yesterday before Jus tices W. H. Bibb and J. W. H. Mitchell, sitting in bank. Morgan Tindall and Thompson were both releised. while Jktch Tindall was bound oyer ftr trial la Superior court. It bad been wliiipored'about that evi- i dance of a stlktling character was to bo produced at the trial. Nothing of the vi.a happened however The evidence brought out was almost erectly as out lined in there columns last week. The most telling f atnre proved was that the tracks of one person were fonnd from the Tindall to tha Snipes baow,walking, and that the s«ne tracks returning were those of a person on a non. Shoes, apparently exactly fitting gbssL tracks, wore fonnd in the shed room of the Tindall honse. The shoes ~tmtn wet and muddy and the mnd ■ewemed to correspond with that in the Stripes yard. No evldenoe was intro- rinced, however,' to show who those riMangedto. * The fact that Arch TiudalJ had wril- ..■*en a disrespectful note to Snipis’dangli- ter ten days before the shooting, was "established, though tlic letter was not Introduced. On the lfitii day of Jnly Mr. Snipes liad a talk with Tindall and •xtracted from him the confession that be had written the letter. Mr. Snirce told Arch that becauso of his youth he mould do nothing to him, but if they * both lived 'till Arch should be 1)1 yogi* Old he would whip him. Tiudall prom ised never to eome around Snipes’ prom- ffiflra* again. On the qoeatlon from Ool. T. N. Hop- '. bin's, attorney for the defense, as to Whether Mr. Snipes had had a fust with anybody else lately, Mr, Snipee balked. On being told by Ida lawyer, S. A. Hod den bery, to tell all about it, Mr. Bntpes ■rid that he had a fuss with Mr. E. A. Bogota on the iamb day of Iris callln Tindall to aoconnt for writing the let- ten;- that the difficulty waa about a bus- insas affair and that he slapped Rogers; that at thta time, the trouble went- no farther, though as he left him Rogers said, "I'll get even with yon.” Almost no evidence was Introdnoed ,, against Morgan Tindall and Matthew Thompson, and their release met with the hearty approval of most people who beard the evideuce. Mrs. Tindall sat beside the two boys thronghont the trial, and waa much moved at times. Her hnahand la In the •nylons at MUIedgeville. The extrema youth of the trio, and particularly of Arch, the boy bound over, made the whole scene pathetic. SURPRISE AFFAIR. 'fZiSe retwheimlni Delegation Met ky Graceful Hospitality.

All Have Trouble. It seem* that all the towns in South Georgia have troubles of their own Wsycross like Thomusvllle is agitated from center to circumference by the cow question. At'present they have a law keeping the bovincs off the streets but strenuous efforts are being made to have this repealed. The Boston Times makes a hpstv kick because there are so many dogs who lie about in the streets of that city and no dog tax is collected on them. Camilla has a choice assort ment of pigs and goats who moke their rendezvous on the court house square. Dalton has an editor who has the nerve to complsin about chickens running at large. The annual known os the blind tiger is no uncommon nnizonce in “dry” towns, The "end seat hog” flourishes' wherever street cars are found. In fact all towns have their troublos, and live stock'is at the bottom of many of them. CANDIDATES WARNED. Muet Fay .Primary Assessment If Name la F'acari bn Ticket- Capt. O. P.

Mr. Tsuji is going from here to 8t. Louis and will moke Ms headquarters at Fair Japan,” .on the Pike. Barrett Writes of State's Exhibit. The town of Thomssrille ana Thomas county both made appropriations for the Georgia building at tlie World’s Fair, and the people of'both will be in terested in- learning of the showing made there. Tlie following letter is from Execu tive Commissioner Glasscock Barrett, who visited Thomssrille a few months ago and labored successfully with tlie commissioners and council to . obtain fands: St. Louis, July 81.—Tlie display made by Georgia at* the ^World's Fair fur nishes many pleasant surprises foe the Georgia visitor, and, in Ariew of the Varied interests it touches, is a centre of attraction for all visitors. Georgia’s exhibits ore oven more of a credit to the state than if they had been mode wholly out of legislative ap propriations, for tlie enterprise and progress of the people ore/everywhere demonstrated In tills effort to put tlie good old stash and its magnificent re sources to the front. The Mineral exhibit shows that there is no state in the anion, nor any foreign country, that lias more valuable or varied deposits, where the conditions are such that they con be mined and manufactured witli better results, than Georgia. Through tlie liberality of the Board of Trade of Savannah, there is in tlie Forestry exhibit a magnificent display, complete in every respect, from the pine trees to its finished products, {including a turpentine plant with oil of the tools needed for the purpose of gathering, manufacturing and marketing this val- nable product in the state and aU by products of dlBtiUed oils from the rosin. Through the public spirit and pragma- siveuess of tee Georgia Syrnp Associa tion the state demonstrates the delicate flavor of tilts product in a manner that is attractive to all visitors. Capt. W. W. Sharpe, of Waycross, donated a minstare osbin mndo of Georgia pine logs, and occupied by a typical “mam my” who dispenses In that way that no other but an aute-bdllnm "mammy” knows; waffles and cakes made of Gcor- gia-growu njatorial* dashed witli Geor gia cane syi up. The results of tills dis play ore maulfold. In the cent ral dome of the Palace of Agriculture is f cotton display contrib- utcil by the prominent cotton merchants of tlie state. In tilts cotton dome is also a foil and complete display of tho sea- island cottons. The special cotton and cotton pro ducts exhibit is decidedly the hand somest and most complete of Its kind In tlie entire building. The central feature of this display Is composed of a large glass fonntain,flowing cotton seed oil at a rate of 50 gallons per minute, and magnlfloently illuminated by many eleotric lights of various colore. Sur rounding this fonntain are fonr plate- glass coic—ii.s, illuminated, two filled with soap and two with different grade* of cotton seed oil. Tlie general agricultural display in spaae 74, practically in the centre of tlie Palace of Agriculture, presents to the inquiring publio an absolute refutation of the idea that Georgians do not. or oannot, subsist on exolusivelj home products. There on 8* varieties of li*y> 50 odd varieties of peas, a magnificent ease of Georgia meats and Georgia worn, showing that "hog and hominy” is raised at home. A full and complete exhibit of grasses and grains of nil kinds, pecans, groandpeos, corns, cot tons, aRd In foot all things that go to nuke op a complete agricultural dis play, ore included. Very few ore aware of the extent of tho tobacco Industry of the state, and this exhibit in tobacco has excited nni- veisel admiration, not only from Geor gians visiting the Fair, bat also thoee interacted in tobaoco manufacture and culture everywhere. The Georgia State building. *e is generally known, was built by fundi contributed by the different cities and counties of tha state, under the direct supervision of Oapt. H. H. Tift, of Tifton, G*. The bonding is oomplete In every respect, and attracts os much, if not more, attention than anv on the grounds, owing to the fact of its being e reproduction of "Sontliorioud,” the M r Quart.rman Married. •Mr. Willis Qnvrterraan, of Iaraoniz, Fla, who ia well known in Thomas- vllle, wen happily married on Thara, day, Jaly twenty eighth. His bride was Mrs Lula Jones oMIJirer Janction.Fla., and tlie marriage took place at the horns cf her parents in that town. C. E. Holmes of Moultrie spent Satur day in town. 'Some times ot^the firi-t of ti c, month we get right discouraged.' v, . Rome's peach crop will be worth more than a million dollars to Lint vicinity. Covington wonts a Board of Trade. Every ap-to-date cijy should have one. The legislature lias 9 more days before adjournment. "Don’t cheer, the poor Messrs.-J. H. and H. D. Berwick, of jj !eTil ‘ * re d ri“g.” Cairo, v sited Thomasville on Saturday Mr. and Mrs. G. N. Youngblood, Mies Katie Simmons and Miss Gertrude Chance hai/ retained from a vacation trip to Panacea Springs on the Florida coast. Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Watson left Sat terdny for a tyip to the west fc they will spend sometime in Yellowstone Pork and may go to California before re turning. Mr. Watson intends spending part of September hauling in Sooth Dakota. * Mr. Chas. Head of this city who was pianist at Thompson’s Opera honse lost winter, is now witli the “Four Pickets” vandiville company. Tlie company has on engagement at tlie Odera House, and Mr. Head's appearance in ills home city will be awaitel with interest home of General John B. Gordon, a typical Southern homo. It is the only building on the grounds entirely far- uidied witli material made and brought from home. . l’iie Georgia commissioners esteem it a pleasure and a privilege to receive any and all Georgians and aid them in making tiie necessary comparisons for their own satisfuction. The Houroe. Advertiser thinks tlie original Parker man is as mnch in evi dence as original sin. World's Fair-employees have had their salaries reduced. The Fair is great on reducing wads. Tlie Sparta IshmoeUte was never pleased with anything, and we doubt if it likes even Georgia peaches. AU tlie indications point to a highly prosperous fall season with Ttiomss- villc merchants and Thomas county farmers. Tom Taggart once presided oTer a railroad pie counter. Let's hope tlie Democrats wiU have a fat one for him to inn this fall. TWO BIG ONES. Told by Auditor Goodies of the Atlan tic Coast Line. Mr. 1-ester E. Goodtoe. traveling au ditor of the A. O. L., is well known hero, and lie has recently proved that lie lias other talents than thooo used in rail road work.. The Savannah News prints a story of Ids in regard to a hail storm at Enterprise and Brockston Ala. a week ago: Mr. Uoodloe say» that there was a waterspout of hail” in that section, and that tlie damage is great. A piece Among the important bills to be acted on bv tlie legislature this week are the boll weevil, the Australian ballot auil the immigration commissioner. Tom Watson will accept the Populist nomination for President. He evidently prefers to bo a big toad in a small pud dle than a small toad in a big paddle. A voice from tlie past cal's tlie Popu lists in Brooks coanty to meet oil Atfgnst 10th. A similar "hark from the toombe” in Thomas brought forth three men in answer to the coll. \ Daring the week tlie following now industries were originated in Georgia: Columbus—15,000 coffin, basket and crate factory; $5,000 brick and tile workB. Br-rnesville—Coal and [amber company. Klberton—Water works, Douglas—$20,000 water and electric light plant. Camilla—30,000 water works. PROSPEROUS SOUTH GEORGIA. From tlie Savannah I’re**. Attention is being called to tlie foot of ice weighing six pounds, lie says, wus . f there are very few sheriff's sales picked up tlie next morning after the j a tvertisoments in Georgia papers this iiail, uiid that there was every evidence I year aurt m tlie papers of tlie that it fell during tlie storm. He says holes wore beat through tlie tin roof of the depot at Enterprise and that a bug gy which was standing from under the shed at the depot was literaUy torn to piece*. Stock-and cattle were killed where they were exposed and tho hail stood two feet deep on the ground in plaoes. In some (daces, where it conld drift, it was five or six feet deep. Tlie flood of hail exteuded about fifteen mile* along the Atlantic Coast Line, and the formera'-prospects were ruined. Tlie government has been -appealed to lor aid for them. The other story which Mr. Goodie* roaches for is in regard to. a fight be tween • rattlesnake end a man named Parks, at Larerne, Ala., laet Thursday. Porks went out in his book yard and be fore he knew it a monster rattlesnake sprang toward litm Withoat realizing what it was, and iuvolaiitarily, lie grab bed at it to prevent it from striking liiu-, and caught it by the neck, squeezing it with a death-Uke grip. The big snake begin to writhe and wrap itself around Forks' body, throwing him to tha ground. He managed to get < ((gtihmieg his grip on the reptile and nrfng both hands. He was .tripped up again by the make and thus for fonr times. A negro man raw the straggle and rushed to Parks’ rescue. When he reached there, he saw that the wee lifeless and Parks wee perfectly erased. The snake was removed from hit vice-like clutch, and be immediately weut into oonvulsiotis from the fear end excitement of the battle. He later be came better onrf Mr. Goodloe say* that he was expected to entirely reoover.” To those unacquainted with the man it might seem from the above that Mr. Gooiloe’e name might be appropriately changed to Goodlie. The fifty-nine counties reporting tax returns so for, show on increase of six —linens One tenth of this total comes from Thomas county. South Georgia counties. No better sign of prosperity could be asked for than this. When the sheriff is not busy" tlie psoide must be making money sufficient to meet their obligations us they ns- tcre. This is apparently the blissful cdudition in which South Georgia stands today. Its formera and country merchants lisve enjoyed a conple of years of good crop* and good prices. Cotton, naval stores, lumber, track and fratta have all done well and the bal ances have been on the credit side. It be* been bats few years beok when low prices with no profit to any on* save the transportation companies, had brought many agriculturists and store keepers down to the verge of bankrupt cy. Fortunately this era appears to be over for good. Oar fanners have learned to diversify their crops more, tliev Jhave learned to got more off au acre than ever liefore, they have learned tlie secret of holding down expenses while running up the gross income, end it is safe to say that as a class the planters this side of Ms- con ere in better shape than at any time since the war. South Georgia was of oae time the poorest part of Gaorgta— not in possibilities, it woe always enor mously rich in them—bat in cosh and progreesivenee*. Today it yield* the palm to no section, either of Georgia or of the South. When the tide of immi gration tele into this state this section is the one that wiU be most benefitted by it. It has an abandonee of land, to be hod at reasonable price*; it baa cli mate unsurpassed, and it has a people fall of the “milk of human kindness,” who will gladly welcome the honest, industrious man who comes to east his lot with them.,no matter whet oountiy he ussy have had his origin in.
