M11. Gladstone's triumph was a con
quest of intellect and morality.
Albany ought to be satisfied now
that she hasn’t got the finest ball team
in the State; _•
The South Is by all odds the coolest
place in the country. It will soon be
a popular summer resort.
Thk police regulations of Albany
are equal to those of any city of the
same size to be found in the country.
Thk prevailing hot wave is evidently
much more oppressive at the North
than it is down here in Southwest
Georgia.
That handsome new residence of
Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Fleming, corner of
Jackson and Tift streets, is very nearly
completed.
Pkoi>lk may complain of the hot
Southern sun, but it is a fact Unit Al
bany is one of tile healthiest places to
be found in Georgia, or in the South.
Thk new union depot is fast nearing
completion, and when done is going to
be one of the handsomest structures of
its kind to be found in the section
Thk Congressional Convention to lie
held in Albany on the 17th of August
will bring the largest crowd to Albany
that we have ever had on any similar
occasion.
Tiik waterworks pay roll is quite an
item. Last week the pay roll of the
hands alone amounted to something
over $550, and It is said that as soon ns
the new furnaces for lend melting can
be obtained a double force will be put
on, which will make the pay roll foot
up something like SI,000. This is an
enterprise of which Albany should be
proud.
LkContk pears are being shipped
from all parts of Southwest Georgia.
Many of them are shipped in bnrrels
Instead of crates, and large sales have
been made in Albany at $2 per barrel.
Mr. VV. S. Fleming has gathered
ninety-six barrels from his orchard on
his linker county plantation. They
enme-up the river on.the boat, and
were sold to parties here, who bought
them for shipment to some canning
establishment.

Albany has great cause to be tliank-
,lul for the beneficence of Providence,
while in hundreds of localities north
of us people are succumbing to the
oppressive heat, and, in many enses
dying of sunstroke. We are fortunate
in possessing so healthy a locality, the
best water on earth, and a delightful
Gulf breeze, so refreshing and pleas
ant in the afternoon. Think of the
thermometer at 100° In the shade in
front of the capitol In Washington,
and then thank the Lord you don’t live
there, ”
We take pleasure in Inviting the at
tention of all the readers of the Her
ald to the new advertisement of
Messrs. Waldrop & Williams, the pro
prietors of the Surprise jitore, on
Washington street. These enterpris
ing business men have made a success
of the spot cash system in Albany.
They keep a good stock, mark their
goods down to the lowest cash prices,
and lose nothing in bad accounts.
They don’t have to keep a collector
nor pay a double-entry book-keeper.
Their store 1b always well stooked and
attractive, and although they are not
saying much about it, their business is
growing.
Married and Promoted.
From Thursday’s Kv km Mi Hkkald.
Mr. Ed. Stowe, who has been in
charge of the business office of the Al
bany Oil Mill for some time past, was
married in Americus to-day, and goes
directly to Greenville, S. C., to take the
the same position in the oil mill in
that city.
The young lady who to-day became
Mrs. Stowe was Miss Sadie Babcoclf, a
reigning belle of our sister city,
Americus.
Mr. Stowe carries with him to Ills
new home In South Carolina the best
wishes of a wide circle of friends in
Albany.
The position vacated in the Albany
Oil Mill by Mr. Stowe has been taken
by his father, Mr. Ed. Stowe, Sr. 1
whom the Herald gladly welcomes to
our city.
A Negro Woman Badly (Shot.
Della White, a Negro woman living
in a tenement house on Byne’s Hill, In
the northern part of the city, is con
fined to her room with a serious
wound which she received at about 10
o’clock Thursday morning.
Della and another woman, Bessie
Daniel, were in the former’s house ex
amining a pistol, so they both claim,
when the weapon was accidentally dis
charged, and the ball entered the left
breast of Della White, makinga pain
ful and dangerous wound.
Dr. W. P. Bushin was quickly called,
and on examination found the woman
in a very oritical condition, the nature
of the wound being such that it was
unsafe to cut the hall out. She is at
present resting easily, and Dr. Bushin
thinks she will recover.
Some people seem to think the
women were quarreling, hut they both

nfler having figured In more scrapes
than any other Negro in town for two
or throe years previous.
Ilnving served out. Ids sentence, lie
returned to Albany about ten days or
two weeks ago. Perhaps there was
nobody here who was really glad of
his return, while his wife, Suuky Nor
ton, who had lived in peno.e for a year
during Ids absence, knew tlint more
trouble was in store for her, and, giv
ing up a position tlint; she held with a
respectable family of the city, went to
live with her sister, Eliza Ford.
Last Saturday night P. C. went to
Eliza Ford’s, burst in the door and
gave Ids wife an unmerciful heating.
Previous to this, dreading wlint she
knew was In store for her, Sooky had
sworn out 11 pence warrant against her
mean husband, Imping thereby to get
tlie protection of the law; but P. G.
had managed to evade the officers and
the warrant had not been served.
And now there are two warrants out
for P. C.—tlie peace warrant and an
other charging him with assault with
Intent to murder—tlie latter being
based upon the assault made upon
Sooky on Saturday night,
P. C. has been keeping out of the
way, knowing that the officers wanted
m. This morning Mr. Joe Oliver
telephoned to Deputy Sheriff Gudwin
that P. C. was then out at Oruger &
Pace’s bricl\ yard. The Deputy Sheriff
was not in his office at the time, and
lds’son, Mr. Frank Godwin, got. Officer
Boh Haley to go witli him, and drove
out to make tlie arrest.
Blit (lie wily P. O. Is still at large.
As soon ns he saw the oilierrs, lie sus.
pected they were after him and cotin
nienced a hasty retreat down toward
tlie river. Kaley leaped from the bug
gy and started in pursuit, and wus
followed by Frank Godwin as soon ns
the latter could get a darky to hold his
horse.
The chase >vas a lively one, but P. C.
made good his escape.
As Officer Baley. ran through the
brick ynrd, some one—it Is not known
who—threw a brick nt him and struck
him on the leg. That limb of the law
was completely pnralyzed by the
lick, and Baley, who is a good runner
and was gaining on the fleeing oil I
prit, was disabled and forced to nlmn
don the chase. But Frnnk Godwin
followed close behind, and kept up the
race for some distance, when lie found
himself distanced and hud to retire.
Beturning to his buggy, or to where
he had left it in oharge of a Negro,
Frank found that his team was gone,
aifd that his buggy and harness were a
wreok. The Negro had left the horse
unhitched while he himself watched
the race between P. C. and his pur
suers, and the horse ran away and tore
things up generally.
Officer Baley found It necessary to
call on Dr. Hllsman for repairs, and
Frank Godwin will have a good job
for a wheelwright and another for a
harnessmaker—all resulting from the
race that was led by P. C.

Frnm Wednesday’)! Evknimi iikuai.il
Henry Williams, n young Negro,
better known about town as “Bllnky,”
was run In by the officers of the law
this afternoon, and will have to an
swer to the oharge of burglary.
He broke into Mr. O. P. Lunday’s
room, in the Willingham building, and
stole a couple of .coats, two or three
pairs of pants, hats, shoes, an um
brella, etc.
The fact that Bllnky was offering
several nice articles of clothing to
darkies about town at very low prices,
and that he had disposed of a line
Stetson hat for only 50 cents, was re
ported to the officers, and Deputy
Sheriff Godwin and the police were
soon on his trail. Bllnky was on the
alert and suspected that the officers
were after him, and took refuge up
stairs in a Negro house on Jackson
street, between Broad and Pine, but
the eagle eye of Officer Neal Mooney
spied him as he raised his head' to
peep out of a window, and the young
culprit was soon safely landed in jail.
Mr. Lunday does not occupy his
room down town, and, not having vis
ited it in several days, had not dis
covered that it had been burglarized.
One of the hats that the boy had sold
had his name in it, however, and this
led to an investigation, which proved
that the thief had entered the room
through a window and made quite a
raid on Mr. Lunday’s wardrobe.
Blinky is probably in for a term in
the chain-gang or penitentiary, and
the officers seem to have worked up a
clear case of burglary against him.
Tom Watson and other Badioals are
trying to down the force bill issne, but
tbe barbarian king will not down.
The first german given by the Young
Ladies’ Cotillion olub, whloh was re
cently organized, took place at Arca

Excellent music was kindly fur

selections.
The german was led by Mr. and
Mrs. Lee Jones, and many beautiful
figures were introduced. Delightful
refreshments were served by the ladies
during tho evening, and everything

the most delightful german they Imd
attended this season.

Gsoi'ltln Tobncco.
Tobacco is getting to be one of the
ijecogiil^ed products of Southwest
Georgia.
A few years ago. In this whole sec
tion of the State there were probably
not over half a dozen pntohes of the
valuable plant to be found, and these
few were raised principally as ourlos-
ities, Several years ago, however, at
the suggestion of gentlemen of ex
perience from different tobacco-grow
ing sections, a number of enterprising
planters secured a supply of fine to-
nacco seed, and set to work to demon
strate the practicability of growing the
plant on Georgia soil.
The experiments proved largely sue-
cessful, and the following year more
attention was given to the work whloh,
many far-seeing people began to pre
dict, would shortly grow into one of
our principal farmingindustnes. And
already their predictions are begin
ning to be verified. Every year the
tobacco acreage In various counties in
this seutlon of the State is being in
creased, and aB the planters become
more and more acquainted with tbe
nature of the weed, Its maturity be
comes more and more perfect, so that
already tobacoo, is being grown In
Southwest Georgia that will compare
very favorably with that raised In
Virginia and North Carolina.
And why not? Georgia has a rich
soil, and a warm climate that makes
the growing of tobacco an easy matter.
The only reason the plant was not
being growu before is that the exper
iments necessary to show. the adapta
bility of Georgia soil and climate bad
never been made. Now the farmers
are “on to It,” however, and tobacco
growing is coming to tbe front. In a
number of counties there are patches
ranging from five to fifty, seventy-five
aores and more, and the specimens of
the plant show full maturity and
leaves over a foot in width.
Let the industry be pushed. Let the
planters give attention to it, and tbe
Hebald feels safe in predicting that
Georgia may yet have reason to feel
proud of her tobacoo industry.
