Steamers Collide ana Passengers go
D°wn.
Seattle, Wash., Nov, 19.—The
steamer Dlx, Captain Lermon, Scat-
< tie to Port Blakely, with passengers
sank while two miles north of Alkl
Point at 7 o’clock last night, after u
collision with the steamship Jennie,
Captain Mason, of the Alaska Coast
Company. Forty-one passengers and
members of the Dlx’s crew are mis
sing, and 34 were 'saved. The Jen
nie was not injured and no one was
lost on her.
The collision occurred while the
water was as smooth as a millpond,
and after the boats had been Ii
sight of each other for fifteen min
utes.
There was hardly time to.launch
life craft or boats botore the, Dlx
listed, righted and sank, stern first.
Passengers jumped Into the water
and were either picked up by the
Jennie or went down. Many were
drowned In the cabin.
The sailors were sailing on con
verging lines and were near each
other. The men at the wheels ex
changed signals, when suddenly the
mate of the Dlx at tho wheel at
tempted to cross In front of the
other vessel. Tho Jennie Captain
gave n signal to back at full speed,
and the steamer was slowly back
ing away when the two came togeth
er. The Dlx’s mate was lost and
no explanation of the accident Is
obtainable. The Dlx sank In one
hundred fathoms.

Washington, Nov. IB.—Attorney

SEED CANE DAMAGED.
da Means Short Crop F(
Year.
From all parts of the county come
reports of injury of the seek cane,
and the prospects are that the su
gar cane crop of next year In South
Georgia will be very short
This . Is sad news to come Just at
this time when the delights of cane
grinding and sugar boiling are
their height, but It Is none the less
true. The cold snap of this week
has been quite severe for Novem
ber weather. It snowed In Atlanta,
and Ice was formed here on two
nights. The minimum temperature
reached here was 27 degrees. This
was low enough to rnln all the seed
cane that had been left exposed.
The cane was frostbitten, and every
eye on every stalk was killed.
Of course* there are a few farmers
who had made preparations for cold
weather, and who had banked their
seed cane, but the majority had not
done so, and as a result they now
have no seed cane to plant.
This mcanB that there will be
very/ little sugar cane raised In
Thomas county next year, unless
seed cane Is shipped In, and this Is
not much done. The frost worked
serious damage, and decreased the
sweetness of 1907 beyond a doubt.
I Known nn<I Wealthy
ket Away.
reached the city yesterday
of the death in Atlanta Sunday night
of Capt. John W. Hightower. This
comes as a most unwelcome shock
to bis friends. In Thomasvllle and
they are numbered by the extent of
his acquaintance.
Until a tew months ago Capt.
Hightower was-a resident of this
city. He came here at the time the
Tifton, Thomasvllle and Gulf rail
road was built and was one of Its
principal promoters. He was large
ly Interested In the Unlon-Pinlpolls
saw mills, and was one of South
Georgia’s wealthiest residents,
retired from active business life at
the-time the Atlantic and Birming
ham purchased the T. T. ft O., but
was still Interested In lumber deals
In this state and In Alabama.
Capt. Hightower made an extend
ed trip through the west last sum
mer; and bad decided to develop
some timber lands In Washington.
He therefore, sold his handsome
home* oh Dawson street, and moved
away from here. He never was
able to carry out bis western project
however, owing to the fact that' 111
health overtook hint and he had
been In Atlanta most of the time
since leaving here. Stomach trouble
was the cause of his death. He* bad
been In a sanitarium for several
weeks, but none of bis friends In
Thomasvllle knew that his condition
was so serious. He died at St.
Joseph's Hospital, at seven o’clock,
Sunday night.
It Is difficult for Thomasvllle peo
ple to realise that he has passed from
earth. He was of a most genial na
ture, and made friends readily. He
whs a familiar figure on the streets j
of the city and his cheery greetings
In a hearty shout, made the day
seem "brighter. He leaves one son,
a three-yeas-old named John, Jr.,
who was his pride, and a bereaved
wife.
Capt. Hightower’s funeral will
take place In Hawklnsvllle today.

cused of selling wblskey. They

from Atlanta and Macon, after hav
ing been licensed as a druggist and
Is again at the City Drug Store. He

Bradford will come to Thomasvllle

tent and popular young man, and

charming' bride.
Bishop Candler May Preside.
There Is a probability that Bish
op Warren A. Candler may preside
at the South Georgia conference to
be held In Valdosta this week. Bish
op Ward, of Texas, had been as
signed to that duty, but he Is now
presiding over the North Georgia
Conference, and has asked Mr. Cand
ler to relieve him. The latter Is
now In Eupore but will arrive at his
home In Atlanta this week, and may
consent to look, after the Conference
for his brother In the work. Bishop
Candler presided over tho confer
ence held In Thomasvllle a few
years ago, and the people of this city
remember how he made things
move. He Is one of the strongest
men In the conference, and rules
with a rod of Iron. Should he be
seated In the chair there will doubt
less be some changes In the assign
ments, as he makes up his own mind
as he pleases, and scatters the
preachers about regardless.
The marriage of Miss Cora Steph
ens and Mr. L. *T- Cochran took
place at half past four o’clock yes
terday afternoon, at the home of the
bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. J.
Stephens, on Bartow street.
The home was,beautifully decor
ated for the occasion. The recep
tion hall showed a wealth of autumn
leaves In rich tints of,red-and gold.
The parlor to the right where the
ceremony took place was even pret
tier in a color scheme of green and
yellow. There was an ‘immense
bank of yellow chrysanthemums be
fore which the marriage vows were
said, and the walls were covered
with smUax.
The wedding was a very quiet af
fair "and was witnessed only by the
relatives and a few of the intimate
friends of the contracting parties.
The bride and groom entered with
out attendants, and were joined In
the holy bonds of matrimony after
the impressive ritual of the Metho
dist church. Rev. J. M. Outler was
the minister who said the words that
made two lives one.
The bride was- handsomely gown
ed In a gray golng-away gown with
hat to match. She wore a hand
made embroidered lingerie waist,
and carried a boquet of white chry
santhemums with asparagus fears.
The room to the right* of the ball
was decorated in ferns, and white
chrysanthemums. Here were dis
played many handsome wedding
gifts In china, silver,' and furniture.
These rememberances were eloquent
tokens of the high esteem In which
both Mr. and Mrs. Cochran are held
by their Triends.
They left on the five o’clock train
for Camilla where they will be the
guests of Mr. Cochran’s family for
a few days. They will then return
to Thomasvllle and make their home
here.
More than the usual interest at
taches t<^ this wedding which Joins
the representatives of two of South
Georgia’s well "known families. Mrs.
Cochran as Miss Stephens was uni
versally popular among the young
people of Thomasvllle, with whom
she has been reared. Joined to an
attractive personality and charm of
manner she has beauty and many
womanly graces. Mr. Cochran
came here a tew years ago from Ca
milla, where he has a wide family
connection among the best people
of Mitchell county. He has made
a name for himself In the business
world and has many close friends
among those who meet him social
ly.
As a unit the people of Thomas
vllle will join with the Times-En-
terprlse In wishing a future of
clouded joy.
