FRUIT GROWERS ARE HOPEFUL
Believe the Crop Here is Unhurt Thus
Far,


Far.
Almost important as the cotton crop
is the peach crop ofsouthwest Georgia,
and orchard men about Americas are
watching the thousands of trees here
with tender solIcitude. A carefully in
quiry into the effects of the recent
cold spell on the fruit in this section of
the state iustifies the belief that there
was no damage unless from the recent
heavy rains, the result of which can
not yet be determined. The blossoms
of pears, peaches and plums were wide
open at the time, and it Is feared that
enough of the pollen was washed out
to render a large percentage of them
unproductive The fruit crop suffered
disaster of this character several
years ago. There was no cold weather
after the fruit trees began blooming,
but the rains SO affected the blossoms
that the crop proved one of the small.

VICTIM OF FIEND IS
NOW IN ASYLUM,
Assault of Negro Results
Fatally.
CARRIED TO LUNATlc ASYLUM
Miss Dismukes of Webster, The La.
dy CriminalIy Assaulted BY lobe
Thornton, Negro Brute, Loses Rea
son And Goes to Madhouse.

Pathos is added to the damnab!e
crime of assault committed in Webster
county several months ago in that Miss
Dismukes, the young lady brutality
beaten and then raYished by the negro,
lobe Thornton, has lost her reason
and is now in the asylum.
A sadder case has never been known
in this section of Georgia.
And it will only tend to make justice
the more swift and certain when this
devil incarnate is finally brought to
the bar of the court to answer there for
his damnable deed.
Her honor wrested from her by this
animal in human form; beaten into
inseneibility while fighting to the
death to protect that most sacred to
her sex; her health wrecked therefrom !;
it is not strange that her mind, too,
should reel and fall.
And now the barred door of a mad
house shuts her in from the world
perhaps for years, perhaps for the
balance of her life.
The scene, viewed from her stand
point, is heartrendlng.
But the devil iEcarnate whose helm
GUS crime put her there; what of him ?
Comfortably CHARTERED in the Ameri-
cus-iail, he eats and sleeps the hours
away as contented and wholly uncon
cerned as though enjoying full liberty
on the outside.
There is no remorse of conscience,
no contrition, no regrets upon the part
of lobe Thornton.
His animal passion was satiated
and if the law breaks his neck for the
crime he will go light.hearted to the
gallows, laughing and singing and
swearing his sins all forgiven.
Thornton's crime, devilish and helm
GUS in the extreme, shocked the state
when committed. He has since beer
confined IN the Americas jail, and will
be put upon trial when Webster su
perior court convenes on April 4th,
some three weeks hence.
But no punishment, however great,
can wipe ont his fiendish crime or re,
store to its throne the tottering reason
of his pitiable victim.

SEAT ON BENCH IS
GIVEN TO EVANS.
Judge Turner Has Resigned
Position.
AS SUPREME COURT JUSTICE
Gov. Terrell Has Appointed Judge
Evans of Western Circuit to the
Vaeancy-Justice William A Fish
Now Has NO Opposion.

The Times Recorder presents this
morning the most interesting and i'm
portant bit of political news of the day
which was contained in a dispatch
from Atlanta last night conveying in
formation OF the resignation of Justice
Turner from the supreme bench.
This announcement will come as a
distinct surprise to the people of Geor-
gIa, and in political circles at this time
especially.
The further statement is also given
that Gov. Terrell has already accepted
the resignation of Justice Henry G..
Turner, and bad appointed Judge
Beverly A Evans to the vacancy.
The resignation of Justice Turner il
ffecsive April 1st, at which time Judge
Evans will succeed him on the supreme
court bench. Justice Turner's resign.
alton comes lis distinct SURF rise az
it was not known that such step wal
even contemplated.
He is one of Georgia's brainiest men
statesman and jurist, and his resigna
tion will mean loss to the state anG
IS much deplored.
Judge Evans, who succeeds him, il
likewise distinguished as iurist and
was candidate for the supreme cour
ludgeship against Justice w. Fl. Fish
His appointment to Justice Turner
place, however, withdraws any opposi
tion to Justice Fish.
While his hosts of friends in Sumte
and throughout the state felt confiden
that Justice Fish would easily hav
proved his own successor at the balIo
box on April Goth. the fact that an
opposition has been withdrawn is al
the more gratifying.
The. only contest remaining for sea
on the supreme bench is between Jus
tice Thomas j. Simmons and Judg
Richard Russell.
