ENTERTAINED
Cleveland Grays Arrive
7 Hours Late, But Have
Good Time.
(From Friday’s Daily.)
The city of Thomasville was in
vaded by a northern army yesterday
and the invaders were feceived with
open arms. The Cleveland Grays,
Cleveland, Ohio, were the guests of
the people of Thomasville from four
uhtil ten in the afternoon. The
original plans for their entertain
ment were sadly interfered with, by
the late arrival of their special
train. Everybody had a harsh word
for the railroad, however, no blame
attaches to the Coast Line. The de
lay was the fault of the connection.
The Start.
The depot was busier than it had
been in many days. The start was
quickly made for all realized that
there was no time to be lost. The
Thomasville brass band made its
first public appearance and livened
things up by martial music from
their instruments. The carriage dis- i but perhaps "the early bird catches

seeing where he was going, ran
against the sharp end of a rail of
the fence, making a serious cut over
the right eye. He was getting along
very well when last heard from.
E. L. Rollins has leased his ma
chine for making concrete blocks to
J. M. Miller & Son, of Pelham and
Cairo. They will ship the machine
to Pelham from here, where they
have a contract for a concrete build
ing. We are getting real anxious
to see some of our citizens begin
tearing away their old buildings and
replace with new ones.
The Rev. Mr. Curry, pastor of the
Methodist church, appointed a com
mittee Sunday to take subscriptions,
solicit help, get everybody to work
and repair the Methodist church
here. It Is a good step in the right
direction, badly needed.
Just as the Methodist preacher
was about to begin services Sunday
morning he was suddenly called out
to tie the matrimonial knot for a
couple who had driven all the way
from Pelham to get here in time to
secure his services before he began
preaching. It was soon over and the
newly wedded pair "went on their
way rejoicing.
Some of our hustling farmers are
beginning to plant melons we hear.
It seems that they are a little early,
every hue. and all surmise that if
they are wise, they’ll come to Thom
asville on their next annual trip.
The Blue vs. the Gray.
One of the striking features of
the Cleveland Grays’ reception at
the depot that somewhat puzzled
the crowd was the color of their
uniforms. There were doubtless
few persons at the station that had
new soda fount in their new store
on the south side of the railroad,
DEDICATION
M APRIL
Dr. Fair, of Savannah is
Orator for Starting
New Building.
The new building at Young’s col
lege is an assured fact. The people
of Thomasville will realize this when
they learn that is is to be dedicated
early in April. The event wljl be
one of unusual importance in Pres
byterian circles and will attract the
attention of all South Georgia.
At that time Macon Presbytery
will hold its annual session here.
This event will bring many noted
ministers of that denomination to
Thomasville. These will take part
in the dedication ceremonies. The
dedication will be under the au
spices of Presbytery. Yesterday Dr.
James Y. Fair, pastor of the Inde
pendent Church, of Savannah, in
formed President I. C. Hunt that he
would deliver the address. Mr. Hunt
is fortunate in securing his servies,
as he is one of the most eloquent
men in the state.
Arrangements are also being made
for the commencement of next June.

the first time they saw the Blue in
the Gray. One of the officers ex
plained to the Tlmes-Enterprise
that the gray uniform was the color
worn long before the Civil war, the
organization having been formed
away back in 1847. Had the mem
bers of the Fourth Georgia turned

Is blue instead of the Khaki they
wore yesterday, the picture of a re

so long in vogue might well have
puzzled even a more cosmopolitan
individual than the negro who sized
up the situation saying: "Dose
aint soldiers no how, I reckon."
But they were Just the same.
Their organization of the Grays is
an Independent one, subject only to
the National Government, whose uni
form they wear in actual service. An
estimate of their Importance can be
judged from the fact that they have
an armory in Cleveland costing
1100,000.
~ The Carriage Display.
Next to the Interest excited by
the arrival of the Grays was doubt
less the arrival of the hundred or
more vehicles that lined up at the
station to convey them to the Coun
try club. The turnouts of every
imaginable variety wore offered the
Grays by our eourteous citizens and (
the Clevelanders showed every sign
of appresiation of the thoughtful
ness. It was indeed a merry party,
or rather a parade, for there were
fully 178 Grays with their lady
friends. The carriages were driven
at a good speed, and their occu
pants, especially the ladies, evinced
the liveliest interest in the sights
that met their gaze as they were
driven through the town. There were
few in the party that bad not heard
of Thomasville and many expressed
a desire to have more time and lei
sure to study its beauty.

G. B. Burhans, of Carlisle Cen

ago I wrote you stating that I had
been entirely cured of a severe kid

bottles of Foley’s Kidney Cure. It
entirely stopped the brick dust sedi

kidney disease disappeared. I am
glad to say that I have never had a

The whole doctrine of It turns on
these three points:
(1) It is all paint and true paint;
(2) It is the strongest paint;
(3) It is full measure.
Because it is all paint, true paint,
proportioned for strength and full-
measure,
(1) It takes least for a Job;
(2) Looks best all the time;
(3) Lasts longest; %
(4) Gathers the trade, and holds
customers.
There is no such argument for any
other paint; there Is no other such
paint; there is nothing but talk for
any other paint. Devoe is the paint,
if you want the facts on your side.
The country Is full of experiences;
we bring these experiences to bear
on your trade, if you sell Devoe.

J NO MORE SEEDS.
Free Distribution Has Been Cut Off
In Spite of Objection From
South.
Washington, March 2.—Over the
solid opposition of the southern
members, the house committee on
agriculture today struck from the
a/frlcultpral appropriation bill aU
provision for purchase of seed for
free distribution. This action came
as a climax to a hard fight which
southern members made to retain
the appropriation on the ground that
It furnished one of the few direct
benefits the farmer of the country
receives from the government treas-
urp. For a number of years a fight
has been made against this free seed
proviso, led usually by men repre
senting city districts, but heretofore
the agricultural committee has al
ways included the item In the ap
propriation bill and the opponents
have been unable to strike it out in
the house. New it has been stricken
by the committee, however, the
friends of the appropriation will find
it extremely difficult to secure its
Insertion when the bill, reaches the
house. This year the department
*of agriculture made the usual esti
mate of $252,000 for the purchase
of seed for congressional distribu
tion. The subcommittee cut this to
$242,000 by a vote of 8 to 7. The
full committee struck it entirely.
Senator Foraker Opens the Debate
on the Rate Bill.
Washington, D. C., March 5.—
Senator Tillman reported the Hep
burn railroad rate bill last week and
now the fight is on in the senate.
Senator Foraker, who is recog
nized as the ablest opponent of gov
ernment rate making, was the first
to make a set speech on the bill in
the Senate. He said that Congress
has not power to make rates and
predicted that the supreme court will
so hold ft the question .ever goes be
fore it.
Senator Foraker called attention
to the fact that the committee which
recommended the Hepburn bill to
the House acknowledged that it was
unsatisfactory even to those who de
sired rate legislation, and yet It was
not being demanded that the bill be
passed without amendment. He pre
dicted that such action would be dis
appointing to the whole country as
well as an abdication of law making
functions on the part of the Senate.
‘The gross revenues of the roads
are so closely calculated to meet in
terest, dividend and operating ex
penses,” he said, “that a reduction
of one mill on the cost of transpor
ting a ton of freight per mile would
so reduce the aggregate as to make
it impossible for the roads to pay
one dollar of dividends on their
stock; and a further reduction of
1 and 1-2 mills, per ton per mile
would make it impossible to pay one
dollar of interest on theid bonded
obligations." Ad. Q'""
DANGERS OF PNEUMONIA.
A cold at this time if neglected is
liable to cause pneumonia which is
so often fatal, and even when the
patient has recovered the. lungs are
weakened, making them lecultnrly
susceptible to the development of
consumption. Foley’s Honey and
Tar will stop the cough, heal and
strengthen the lungs and prevent
pneumonia. La Grippe coughs yield
quickly to the wonderful curative
qualities of Foley’s. Honey and Tar.
There is nothing else "Just as good.*’
