(VISITED THOMASVILLE
AS WAR PRISONER.
For First Tim© In 40 Years an Old
Fadera’ Soldier la Here*
There is a gentleman in Thomasvilln
lol.vy who viniu the place for tlio first
Hum since ho was hum just a little more
tliun 40 yearn ago as a Federal prisoner.
The gentleman’H liamt is Jehu Forsn
and lie is now at the head of the Fonm
Foundry and Machine Co. a Urge oon-
ooru ol Fiemington, N. J. In conver
sation with Mr Joseph Jerger, au o’.d
Confed, Mr. Foran casually revealed
the fact that ho had been here before as
a prisoner. Mr. Jerger was almost os
gUd to see him os if he had been an old
comrade instead of a foe, and took him
over to Dewey City where the old pris
on camp was.
Mr. Foran easily recognized the place
and while remarking upon the excellent
state of preservation of the old ditch and
sultry mound he said “I remember that
while we were hero one of oar boys was
accidentally killed by a tree falling on
him.'* Au ante-bollnm negro happened
to be standing near. “Why, lor* yes,
Imre's his grave."
Mr. Koran enlisted with the First
Massachusetts regiment early i:i the war
H > fought with McClellan in Virginia
a id under Gram for ilireo years w ithout
getting a scmtoli,until Ju • s Isc, ’<>4.
On that day, t ho day of “Cold Harbor*'
h i was scut out to do skirmish duty.
G aiir. f. li hack* Ha l itccordmg to a pre
arranged plan sacrificed his entire skir-
m liue or some 7»i0 Mr. Foran was
a nong the number.
He was sent to Richmond first, and
after two weeks thero he became one ol
a train lo-vd of prisoners to Andtrson*
ville. When Slternmu began to operate
from Atlanta there were . 85.0u0 prison
era at Andersonvillo, but npon Slier-
mau's nearer approach they were scatter
ed to otlher places.
Chance threw Mr. Foren among a
train load taken to Savannah. There
they stayed for a fortnight before they
were taken to Blackshear and from
thero to Thomaaville by the old Golf
railroad.
The detachment spent several wooka
here, and Mr. Foran says that ha re*
membors the place most pleusantly,
speaking from a comparative stand
point, because here he was given raw
meat and a quart ot meal a day. Tills
the first meat ho had seen sinco he
was raptured.
The prisoners wero marched from
here to Albauy. no railroad connecting
the two places at that time Three days
wore consumed on the march and on
the fourth ho found himsoif again in
Andersonville, Thero lie stayed till the
closo of hostilities.
Mr. Foran ts delighted with Thomas*
vR u and exports to roinain here through
the winter. He is having a great timo
talking over old differences witli ex*

JUST MISSED
CRASHING GLASS.
Saturday morning while Mr. J. W.
Perkins was painting the upstairs V[in-
dows over the Bank of Thomasvillo, one
of the sashes fell to the sidewalk bolow.
The glass crashed against the cement
and splintered into a million plecos,
making the vicinity look liko it had
been visited by a gloss storm. Mrs. M.
J. Itaudall happened to be lusting the
bank at that particular moment aud just
escaped the descending glses, - Fortu
nately she was not at all injured or
even frightened by the,occurenoe, aud
the accident belongs in the “fortunate*

Years ago n vessel was wrecked off
the northwest coast of Ireland. Crowds
gathered on the beach to w it ness the
rcene. A few brave men came forward
and put out to the siakiug vessel. As
they came book to the shoro^with their
burden of hunmti lives, tho watchers
cried, “Have you got them all? Aro all
saved?" “Yes," was the answer, “all
but one: if wo had stored for him all
would have been lost ”
Instantly a stalwart fellow stepped
out from the crowd and called for vol
unteers. The mother begged the young
mAnnottofgo, saying: “Your father
was lost at sea, your brother William
sailed away and wo have never heard
from himjif you go my all will be lost.”
Embracing her he said. “I must, go.**
In a short time he was soon returning.
“Have you got your man?** cried the
watchers. * Yes,” was the rep'y, “and
tell mother it is brother William."—O.

Tlio Times Enterprise received the
following self-explanatory letter yester
day uioraiug:
Editor Times-Enterprlie,
Thomasrille, Oa.
Dear Sir:
Wo weald like to know, through the
coiumns of yonr valuable paper, jnat r
who u ill huvo a voice in this new coun
ty maiter; that is, will it have to be en
dorsed hi the people of the eld co- ntle.

tlio lufortuatiou you can on tlito subject.
Respectfully,
••Subscriber.”
Iu order that the readers of tins paper
may understand the situation, a full
statomeut is given. At the last election
in October, 1004, a majority of the peo
ple of Ueorgta voted for a constitutional
amendment increasing the number of
counties from IS? to 14S. It was left to
tho legislature to deoldain wbat method
the will of the people should be canted .
out. They decided that It should be
done by the general aaaembly.
Any commnnity that wlihea to be in- '
oinded In a new county, any person or
persons who want a new ooonty;ean
have a bill to that effect Introdnoad in
the House of Representative. If the
house passes that MU tha county to than
aud there created. Of oonrse, the biU
taxes tbs usual course, goes to a legisla
tive committee and to by them referred
to the whole body for a vote.
It to not necessary for the moran in n
new county scheme to submit tha mat
ter to popular vote, even of the people in
the territory affected. They may do so
if they wish, in order to get an axptas-
sion of opinion. Thera to no vote to ba
taken attar tha ie, tolatura acta.
In short, the state legislature aettiee
the whole matter. Any propositions
favoring o.‘ opposing a now county gen
erally take* the form of a petition to the
legislature or its individual members.
Taketheoaso of the proposed new
countr in tbto section for lnatanoe. Ite

John B. Singletary, member of tha leg
islature from Cairo, Thome, county,
says he wUl introduce a MU for that
particular oonnty within tan mlnutee
after the general aaaembly to oaltod to
order. If the legislative committee re
ports favorably on his Ml', and if the
members give it a majority vote, the
