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. P. (!. NORTON BACK FROM THE CHAI.V.OAM) AND AT 1118 OI.D THICKS AGAIN.

Club 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 a there were no eye wit- From Wednesday's Kvkninu IIkuald. Everybody in Albnny knows 1’. C. Norton. Those who do not know him in person know him by reputation, if they read the local papers. It will be remembered tlmt “P. C.” was sent to the chain-gang Inst year, 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. A YOUNG BURGLAR. Henry Williams, Alina “Bllnliy,” Gela Into Trouble. deny this, and there were nesses of the accident. aaoon 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 dia Tuesday evening. Excellent music was kindly fur nished by Mrs. C. M.

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.
