The writer has been moving around ex
tensively through Georgia, deservedly styled
the “Empire State of the South,” within
the past ten days, and proposes to print a
few notes “taken on the wing. ”
First, he visited Cuthbert, without paus
ing by the way, and found that little city
os inviting and pleasant as ever, but much
exercised and grieved over the failure of C.
N. Simpson, one of her most prominent
merchants. It is believed, however, that
Mr. Simpson will be on his feet again in a
few days as the trusted agent of his princi
pal creditors, who are nearly related to
him. Moreover, all who know him are con
fident that he will eventually liquidate every
dollar of his past indebtedness. C'apt. A. J.
Move still holds the front rank among the
successful farmers of Randolph, and the
venerable Ordinary,
JUDGE GARMELY
has probably a lifelong lease upon his office,
and is never tired showing visitors over the
new and elegant court house, This is the
home also of Hon. John T. Clarke, who will
without doubt be promoted to the Supreme
bench of the State if the number of Justices
is increased at the next general election.
Cuthbert boasts two of the best weekly
newspapers published in Georgia, viz: the
Advertiser and Appeal and the Liberal.
Just now the people are jubilant over the
prospect of a railroad connection in the
near future with Columbus and Albany.
It is stated that Mr. Gunby Jordan has
placed the whole line under con
tract, and the road will certainly be
built. This enterprise when completed
will open up anew era of prosperity to
Southwest Georgia, which suffered so much
at the hands of H. I. Kimball & Cos.
The great want of Cuthbert is a modern
and commodious hotel, but in the interim
the wayfarer is comfortably provided for at
the old “Kidder House,” now kept by Mr.
P. A. Price. T
At Dawson we tarried but a single night
and enjoyed the hospitality of the
FARNUM HOUSE,
which is so delightfully conducted by Mrs.
Carver, the daughter of the proprietor.
Ttiose who go there once will bo certain to
go again.
. BRUNSWICK.
We must now invite the roader to return
with us to Macon and then journey over the
entire route of the old “Macon and Bruns
wick railroad” to its deep water outlet on
the broad Atlantic. This forms a part now
of the immense system of the East Tennes
see, Virginia and Georgia railroad syndi
cate, which is so ably managed by the
famous
B. W. WRENN.
For many years the road was in a dilapi
dated and uii-afe condition. But the entire
track has been recently relaid with heavy
steel rails, the bridges and trestlework thor
oughly repaired and additional “sidings”
constructed. It will now compare favora
bly in every respect with any highway in
the South, and is doing a very heavy busi
ness.
Brunswick has taken anew departure of
late and is rapidly increasing in population
and commercial importance. From her
Mayor, Mr. J. T. Dunn, we learn that 300
buildings have been erected within the past
year, which are occupied by fully 2,000
additional inhabitants. The
BANKING CAPITAL
of the city is also ample, embracing two
national banks and three private institu
tions of a similar character, the whole rep
resenting fully $200,000. Some salient and
interesting facts were gathered, too, from
the polite officials of the custom house.
Mr. Jacob E. Dart is the Collector, assisted
by Mallory King, Esq., a son of the late
distinguished Secretar y of the Navy, Hon.
Thomas Butler King. To the latter we are
indebted for the following statistics:
EXPORTS OF BRUNSWICK.
For the year ISBO the exports of the port
of Brunswick footed up $108,348. In 1887
they have already reached the splendid
figure of $1,824,034, showing an increase of
Si, 115,680. This is the foreign commerce of
the port only. The coastwise trade is more
than double that amount. The custom reve
nues are about $40,000, against #B,OOO for
the previous year. The imports for 1886
were $35,170. For 1887 to date, they
count up $47,602. Clearances to foreign
ports in 1886, 119 vessels; clearances to date
in 1887, 139 vessels. Aggregate of foreign
tonnage in 1886, 55,993 tons; in 1887, to
date, 74,758 tons.
COTTON RECEIPTS.
The cotton business of Brunswick is in
creasing rapidly. Thus in the season of
1883-84 the arrivals amounted to but 8,000
bales, while up to present (late in 1887 they
foot up 30,404 bales. Very little of the great
staple is sold here, however. It merely
passes through to foreign ports and enly
benefits the draymen, stevedores and ship
pers. There are, indeed no warehouses for
the reception and storage of cotton.
NAVAL STORES.
From Messrs. C. Dunning, Jr., & Cos. we
learn that the receipts of spirits of
turpentine and rosin the present season will
exceed by 26 per cent, any previous year.
That firm alone has already bandied 25,000
barrels of spirits of turpentine and 100,000
barrels of rosin to date, and the gross
amount of their sales will exceed 1700,000.
THE OGLETHORPE HOTEL.
This magnificent structure is rapidly ap
proaching completion. It is announced that
the opening will be early in January. Mr.
Burbage, one of the stock company, showed
the writer all ov r the premises. The build
ing has a front of 275 feet, with two ells,
each extending JlO feet in tho rear. It is
constructed of hard brick of tho best quali
ty and presents a most imposing appear
ance. The sleeping apartments, aside front
parlors, offices, etc., number HO, and tho
furniture, carnets, and silver and glassware,
indeed all of the appointments of the con
cern will be of the nest and most costly de
scription. It is intended to keep tho hotel
open all the year round and make it loth a
Winter anil summer resort for invalids and
tourists. The concern will be run by a stock
company, under the management of
MR. M. A. CRITTENDEN,
who is the proprietor of A hotel in Coopers
town, N. Y., and is also in charge of tho
largest summer house in Old Point Comfort,
Va. The “Oglethorpe” will be supplied
with water from an artesian well, which
discharges 875 gallons per minute. It will
lie conducted into every room, and utilized
for the complete protection of the premises
against fire.
ST. SIMON’S ISLAND.
Your scribe paid a visit to this lovely islet
in the teeth of a biting, horrible Northeast
gale, which is simply indescribable. We
were in charge of Capt. Peter Nelson, of the
tiny but staunch steamer “Egmout," who
put us through in safety, despite the chop
ping sea and fierce winds.
On the way we passed witffin hail of the
good ship
BOWLING CITT.
Capt.. Avery, of New Bedford, Mass. The
Captain had just returned from a seven
months’ whaling cruise in Southern lati
tudes, and had stftred on board a catch of
barrels of oil and a goodly stock of
n hnlelvme. Two years ago he" harpooned
and captured off rite Brunswick bur two
sperm whales, which proved a veritablo bo
nanza to him. *
the ST. SIMON'S LUMBER COMPANY.
This is probably the largest establishment
of the kind in the .South, The company,
besides owning 300.000 acres of pine land
near Eastman, make purchases of timber
constantly from Darien and other points on
the Altamuha river. At this time they
have on hand awaiting shipment as fast as
possible no less than
FOUR MILLION FEET
of merchantable lumber, which will lie sent
to coastwise ports and South America as
rapidly as it cau be loaded.
The cutting capacity of the two mills is
about 125,000 feet per day, and sometimes
no less than
NINE SHIPS
may lie seen at their wharves receiving
cargoes for every part, of the world.
The proprietors have sunk an artesian
well which supplies all the water needed for
the machinery and twelve hydrants liesides,
which by the mere force of atmospheric
pressure could inundate not only the build
ings, but every pile of lumber on the yards.
They employ 150 hands, and the pay roll
is about $3,000 per month. The cost of the
plant was over SIOO,OOO.
Quite a flourishing village has grown up
around the mills, with a neat church, school
house, post oftice and store. The population
is about 800.
So much on this freezing day for what
ought to be a semi-tropical isle.” But these
terrible blizzards seem hardly to stop short
of the equator. H. H. J.
The Origin of the First Presbyterian
Church.
Editor Morning News: In my commu
nication of Doc. 2, I omitted to refer to a
pamphlet in my possession, without which
my article would hardly be considered as
complete. I therefore submit the following
extract from that pamphlet, which speaks
for itself:
Rules and confession of faith of the First
Presbyteriau church constituted in Savannah,
June ti, 1827.
Early in the month of May of this year, a few
Christian brethren, then members of the First
Presbyterian Church * * * presented
the following application to the church, of
which they were then members.
"To the Rev. 8. B. Haul, Pastor, and the ses
sion of the Independent Church in Savannah:
"Brethren -The undersigned members of
the church over which you preside, believing
that the interests of the Redeemer's kingdom
would he promoted by the establishment of a
Presbyterian church in this city, respectfully
and affectionately request, for the purpose of
forming such a church, a dismission from your
body. * * * We are brethren yours, etc.,
“George G. Faries.
“Lowell Mason.
“Edward Coppee.
“Joseph Cumming.”
In reply to which they received the following
regular dismission from that church:
“Extracts from the minutes of session of the
Independent Presbyterian congregation of Sa
vannah at their meeting. May 18, 1827.”
"A communication having been received from
Messrs. George G. Faries, Lowell Mason, Edward
Coppee and Joseph Cumming, requesting to lie
dismissed from this church, it is unanimously
resolved by session to grant their request; that
they be and are hereby dismissed from this
church as communicants in good and regular
standing. S. B. How,
“Moderator of the Session.”
Having obtained this dismission, these breth
ren made an application to the Moderator of the
Presbytery of Georgia, who visited Savannah
in person, and after examining into the circum
stances of the case, appointed a meeting of the
Presbytery to be held on Wednesday, June fi.
At this meeting a formal application was made
and supported by these persons, together with
others connected with them in their religious
views, to be constituted a church in connection
with the Presbyterian church of the United
States. * * * * The Pres
bytery unanimously resolved to grant their re
quest. and accordingly, in the afternoon of the
same day, twelve persons were solemnly consti
tuted into a church of Christ, and ruling elders
ordained for the same.
The following is the farm of admission, etc.,

Reminiscences of Dickens.
Adolphus Trollope.
Dickens was only 33 when I first saw him,
being just two years my junior. I have said
what he appeared to me then. As I knew
him afterward, and to the end of the days,
he was a strikingly manly man, not only in
appearance, but itij bearing. The lustrous
brilliancy of his eyes was very striking.
And Ido not think that I have ever seen it
noticed that those wonderful eyes, which
saw so much and so keenly, wero apprecia
bly, though to a very slight degree, near
sighted eyes. Very few persons, even
among those who knew him well, were
aware of this, for Dickens never used a
glass. But he continually exercised his
vision by looking at distant objects, aid
mailing them out as well as he could with
- any artificial assistance. It was an
instance of that force of will in him which
compelled a naturally somewhat delicate
frame to comport itself like that of an
athiele. Mr. Forster somewhere says of
him: “Dickens’ habits were robust, but his
health was not. ” This is entirely true as far
as my observation extends. Of"the general
charm of his manner I despair of giving
any idea to those who have not seen or
known him. This was a charm by no
means dependent on his genius. He might
have been the great writer he was and yet
not have wanned the social atmosphere
wherever he apjteared with that summer
glow which seemed to attend him. His
laugh was brimful of enjoyment. There
was a peculiar humorous protest in it when
recounting or hearing anything specially
absurd, as who should say, “ ‘Pon my soul,
this is too ridiculous! This passes all
bounds!” and bursting out afresh, as though
the sense of the ridiculous overwhelmed
him like a tide, which carried all hearers
away with it, and which 1 wi 11 remember.
His enthusiasm was boundless. It entered
into everything he said or did. It belonged,
doubtless, to that amazing fertility and
wealth of ideas and feeling that distin
guished his genius.*
Westminster Abbey’s Monuments.
Gath's Letter in Cincinnati Enquirer.
Borne of the monuments tower up to the
height of twenty feet or more, perhaps to
the height of thirty feet. Great Britain is
carved all over the bases of them weeping
for her sons. Judging by the number of
those sons hi-r lamentations are incessant,
and site wouid seem to be a kind of profes
sional funeral mourner. The lion is seen
disconsolate, wiping his eye with his paw.
The unicorn is in a deep melancholy. The
statesmen rise up in their robes of peers
calmly gazing off into the depths of the
cathedral. Here and there some entirely
forgotten person has made the marble howl.
One tomb represents a man’s wife snatched
away by Death, who is coming out of the
grave in his bones and shroud to claim her,
and the husband is squaring off at him, as
nearly as I can recollect. The attempt to
make marble do too much on funeral occa
sions often leads to an emotion in the specta
tor between excitement, wonder and smiles.
Some actors are put in here like Garrick.
The monument to Shakspeare has been
often copied, but is a poor composition, and
it represents Shakspeare leaning over a
kind of table as he stands where his play
books are being studied. Perhaps the most
effective thing in the poets’ line is Ben
Jonson’s tomb,which merely says: “Oh, rare
Ben Jonson!”

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY; DECEMBER 8. 1887.
COMING ARMY CHANGES.
How Swaira Came to bo Appointed
Judge Advocate General.
From the Few York Sun.
Washington, Doc. 2, —There ts a great
deal of commotion in army circles over the
extraordinary situation existing in regard
to coming changes. Never in the history
of our army has any President in time of
peace had so many important military ap
pointments to make as ihe next President
will have. The officers of the army are not
allowed on the surface to interfere
or indulge in polities in any form,
but at the same time the army influence in
political affairs and in appointments is
frequently potential. The winter prom
ises to see some very fine social
work done by the army set, with
an eye to future contingencies. During
the next administration three general
officers and every general staff officer, ex
cept two, will retire under the law retiring
officers 64 years of u-e, ami the President
elected next year will appoint their suc
cessors. The general officers who will he
thus retired and to whom successors will be
appointed are: Maj. Gen. Terry, Brig. Gen.
Stanley, and Brig. Gen. Gibbon. The gen
eral staff officers who will bo retired under
the 64-year law are Brig. Gen. Holabird.
Quartermaster General; Brig. Gen. Bener,
Chief of Ordnance; Brig. Gen.
Rochester, Paymaster General; Brig.
Gen. McFeely, Commissary General of
Subsistence; Brig. Gen. Moore, Surgeon
General, and last but not least Brig. Gen.
Drum, Adjutant Gonei al. The only general
officers, chiefs of staffs, remaining are
Judge Advocate General Swaim, now serv
ing on half pay by sentence of court mar
tial, and Gen. Greely, Chief of the Signal
Service Office. Under the present adminis
tration two general officers will be retired
next year, viz., Gen. Baird, Inspector Gen
eral, and Gen. Duane, Chief of Engiueers.
Thus it happens that within five years all
the heads of the staff departments except
two are changed.
Now there would be comparative serenity
in army circles if the rule of succession was
always adhered to, and there would be a
complete understanding as to the general
advances all along the line, but unfortu
nately this rule has been many times broken
or ignored, and so the army people are
plunged into uncertainty as" to wliat the
next President may do. Under Grant’s ad
ministration thero were two notable instan
ces of ignoring the law of succession and
regular promotion. Men were taken up
from low rank and passed over the heads
of old, famous, and battle-scarred officers, to
pfaces of power and prominence, and men
found themselves serving under the orders of
officers who had been subalterns under
them, and who were far behind them in the
line of promotion. Much discontent and
bitterness has thus been occasioned in the
army, and disc plins seriously impaired by
undeserved promotions out of the regular
line, made through political, social, or
family influence. It is an axiom in army
organizations that when political or family
enters in, discipline and efficiency go out.
Under Grant, West Pointer, Cominander-in-
Chief, President as ho was, there were two
instances to the point, which were looked
upon as flagrant in the army. These were
the promotions of McFeely and Benet, who
were raised from the rank of Major dear
over the heads of all the officers above them,
and made chiefs of their departments with
the rank of Brigadier General.
But a still more notable instance occurred
under the Hayes administration in the pro
motion of Swaim from next to the bottom
of tile list in regular succession to the head
of his department as J udge Advocate Gen
eral. Gen. Swaim had been for years a fol
lower and believer in Mr. Garfield. He was
Garfield’s devoted friend and admirer. He
was of a money-making disposition, close
and calculating,” while Garfield could never
make a cent in business, and Swaim took
bis money and invested it and managed it
for him. He knew how much money Gar
field had in bank when the latter had no
more idea of it than a boy. Swaim bought
the house Garfield used to live in in
Washington, and installed the Garfield
family there, rent free. He so man
aged that no man could have been
placed under heavier obligations, finan
cially, socially and politically, than
Garfield was under to him. He believed,
just ns much as be believed that the sun
wouid rise of a morning, that Garfield
would one time be the President, and that
when that occurred he would claim his re
ward. He often said so, and his implicit
and unwavering confidence strengthened
the faith of many others in Garfield’s des
tiny. After Garfield’s election Swaim went
to Mentor and took charge of matters ab
solutely, and then he demanded recognition
of his services. Garfield, after his manner,
put his arm around Swaim’s neck and said:
“My dear boy, I owe as much to you as
ever one man owed to another. You have
but to name your desire and it shall be
granted.”
“1 want to be appointed Judge Advocate
General,” said Swaim.
Garfield was staggered. He remonstrated
against the demand, saying it would ruin
him with the army to make such an ap
pointment, that it was subversive of dis
cipline, apd would discourage and demoral
ize the army. But Swaim was inexorable.
Garfield sent to Gen. Charles Foster to help
him out of the difficulty, and Foster, after
a talk with Swaim and finding him obdu
rate, hit upon a plan which he laid before
Garfield and which they agreed to work
upon. The plan was to have Hayes, who
was just going out, make the appointment
and take the onus of it off from
the incoming Ohioan. Foster went to
Washington, and after a struggle got Hayes
to agree to it through a dicker that Gar
field should appoint Baxter, and
so the appointment was made and the re
sponsibility taken from Garfield in part,
though the story to some extent leaked out,
and in the end Garfield had to take the re
sponsibility. Swaim was‘appointed Briga
dier-General and Judge Advocate-General
in Feb. 13, 1881, and accepted on Feb. 22.
Thus Hayes was made a cat’s paw by Gar
field through the sly manoeuvring of Char
ley Foster After Garfield’s death the feel
ing of outrage and indignation in the army
against Swaim took shape in what was, to a
groat extent, a conspiracy to overthrow
him, and to this effort President Arthur
lent his active aid and sup
port, as will be remembered. Nothing
really culpable was clearly proved against
Swaim except an inordinate and indiscreet
desire to make money, and the effort to oust
him was a partial failure, but it succeeded
in suspending him from office for a term
which would take him by its expiration be
yond the legal year for retirement for ser
vice, thus practically putting him out of
the army. It is the remembrance of these
things, in connection with the great number
of coming changes, that is worrying the
army people very much just now, and it
does not soothe them any when they remem
ber that Mr. Cleveland has followed the
example of Grant and Hayes in the promo
tion of Gen. Greely.

A GOOD, JUDICIOUS FINANCIER, who goes

purchashing their Clothiug, Hats and Furnlsb
lug Goods of APPF.L ifcfiCHAUL, the One-Price
Clothiers, who mark each and every article In
plain figures—no deviation whatever. Their
style of doing the one-price plan, PLAIN FIG
URES, Is sufficient guarantee that the goods are
marked as low as can be legitimately sold for,
as it is a well-known fact that a strictly one
price plan of doing business cannot he success
ful with fancy figures.

do not run the risk of meeting soma friend or

You can send your child to us, who will re

misrepresent any article, ns we give amemoran
