Brunswick, Ga., Dec. 1.—Bruns
wick rejoiced to day over the raising
of the quarantine by Surgeon Mur
ray, aud the first through pasaeDj
train ou tho regular fast schedule
pulled* in with Conductor Minehan
and Engineer Foster in charge loaded
down with passengers. Two coaches
and a sleeper were packed and jammed
with returning refugees. The engine
and train were decorated with flagp,
handkerchiefs were waving from the
windowe, and the train pulled up to
the depot amidst shouts and cheers
from a large crowd of people.
Philadelphia Times (Ind. Dem.):
Relief is at hand for American indus
try from the burden of monopoly lax
ation by which it is now paralyzed.
Free raw materials, cheapened pro
duction, enlarged consumption, with
wider markets—this is the only policy
that can revive our manufactures and
give employment to our working men.
This is the policy the people have
demanded and that is now assured lo
them.
The new tariff policy is thus full of
hope for every branch of American
industry. It is a policy of unimpeded
expansion and growth, in which all
can share, as against a policy of cod
dling and contraction that benefits the
few at the expense of the many.
It is an American policy. It will
open to this great country, with its
infinite resources, the markets of the
world. It will start up our factories,
revive onr commerce and carry Ameri
can nr- ducts and American influence
everywhere.

The yellow fever epidemic
Brunswick may be said to be practi
cally over. Surgeon Murray has re
moved the guards and all are free to
enter Brunswick. The trains re
sumed their regular schedules this
morning. Surgeon Murray says there
is no possible danger from citizens of
Brunswick leaving there and coming
in contact with other people. A
watch will be kept on clothing and
bedding coming out of the stricken
city. A few more cases may occur
but the doctors say they will be
sporadic and that no danger need be
feared from them.

The session of the legislature is
rapidly drawing to a close.- A dts>
patch from Atlanta say?;
The House adopted a resolution to
day that the House have a night
session Monday night, and it is pos
sible that night sessions will be held
all ot next week.
Mr. Calvin, of Richmond, intro-,
duced a resolution on the same line,
to expedite business, which was refer-
ed to the committee on rules, proyid*-
mg that hereafter no leaves of absence
shall be granted to members except
for providential causes.
The committee on the penitentiary
handed in their report to-day on the
bill introduced by Mr. Marlin to eas
tablish a reformatory. It unanimous
ly recommended that the bill be pass
ed.
The committee on education re
ported against the bill to have
uniform system of school book?, but a
minority report was made, recom
mending that the House pass a btl
ro e stablish a uniform set of books lo
be taught in the public schools.
Colonel Eugene Speer writes to the
Columbus Enquirer-Sun about the
senatorship as follows:
“The friends of Judge Crisp are
urging him as a suitable candidate for
the senatorship to succeed General
Colquitt. This work has been quietly
goiog on for some time, but lately his
followers are outspoken in view
of the fact that the democrats may
lose the next house. When Mr. du-
Bfgoon was here a few days ago he
announced his belief that Mr, Crisp
might, under certain circumstances,
become a candidate for the upper
house. Col. Turner declines to say
that he will be a candidate for the
senate. Indeed he positively refuses
to discuss the subject, although it is*
natural 10 suppose that he feels a deep
interest in the rituation.”
According to the report of the Sec
retary of War the United States army
consists ot only twenty-eight thousand
men including officers This country
is so great that it doesn’t need much
of an army. European states, with
half of our population, keep great
standing armies, hundreds of thou
sands of men. Wonder what the
Emperor of Germany thinks of our.
little army?. Uncle Sam, however,
would be ready to beat back all of
Ejirope if they attempted a landing on
our shores.
The Young Men’s Bu-iuess League
of Augusta has memorialized the leg*
islature to create a state bureau of
immigration. The league is on the
right line. Georgia needs and wants
more population. She does not want
any riff raff, but she does want a good
class of immigrants, come they from
whatever section they may. We hope
the legislature will aid in this much
needed work.
The Georgia legislature has passed
a bill relieving .Glynn oonnty, on ac
count ot the yellow fever epidemic, of

A statistical writer has it th-tin this
country 2,500 women are practicing
medicine, 275 preaching the gospel
more than 6,ooo managing postoffices
and over 3,000,000 earning independ
ent incomes. Since 188 > the Patent
Office has granted over 2,500 patents
to women, and iu New York city 27,-
000 women support their husbands,
remarks the Augusta Chronicle. The
fact that 27.000 women in New York
city support the>r husbands is encour
aging. There is some inducement
for a man to marry when there i
prospect of being supported. He can
just sit arouQd and jaw his mother in
law as much aS he pleases.
A bill has been introduced in the
legislature which will, if passed, put a
damper on lynching parties. Gover
nor Nonhen, and others, have worked
up a healthy sentiment against lynch
law. It should not stain the fair es
cutcheon of Georgia, Here is a short
resume of the bill: ^ s
“It authorizes any sheriff who may
have reason to believe that violence
of that character is contemplated to
summon a posse of citszcns who must
respond or be punished for a misde
meanor. It is also-made a misde
meanor for sheriff to fail to call a posse
together in such an emerg ency,~ and
these citizens so responding are aus
thorized to carry weapons for the pur
pose of duty. To participate in
mob or to band together for the pur*,
pose of Inflicting punishment upon any
mtize& of the state is made a felony,
punishable by from one to twenty
years in prison, and should death re
sult from the violence of the', mob,
each participator is subject to indict
ment for murder!
THE NEW SCHEDULE
4 *Jack Curtright is dead,” was tbe
sad announcement that passed from
iip to lip on Tuesday afternoon,
when a telegram came to Captain. W.
J. McClure, his brother-in-law: an-
noum , i»*g-lit** snd truth. It was not
a Burpri-B- /thne** of his f-rirnds who
knew of his gradual decline, for they
have known for months past that
.this tftu*- hearted jand guileless gen
tleman t?as slowly yielding (o the
iuroads of a pulmonary disease and
that he, himself, was preparing for
the end.- Bnt.it was none thb Jess a
shock hi <1 a gn f, lor death itself is
a different thing from its approaches.
When wc realize that we shall see a
dear face, a loved form n6 more in
life, we understand what the arrival
of the dread messenger signifies.
It is a mourful coincidence that,
in the same issue of the Reporter, apv
pears a tribute to the father from bis
comrades in arms, and the obituary
oftheson. They are now re-united,
The only boy is clasped to the great,
loving heart of parqnt in a Jand
where death is.an unknown factor.
Father and son were alike in nobility
of s'ml, generosity and magnanimity
of spirit, and in the qualities that win
and hold the friendship of all classes.
Sad that such noble lives were cut off
89 prematurely.
Mr. Curtright was burn in La*
Grange, grew up .here, but since
reaching manhood’s estate, ho has re
sided in Atlanta and Thomasville In
both places he had scores of friends,
but m the latter place, particularly,
ho was recognized as a successful mer
chant and a leading citizen, having
not only won friends, but made mon*
ey.- Above all, he, in early man
hood, hail given himseli to God in a
consecrated Christian life, and wss
ready for tbo summons.
About two years ago he was happi
ly! married to Miss Seals, of Fort
Smith. To the young wife and beau
tiful babe every heart goes out in
sympathy in their irreparable loss.
As a husband and father he was
gentle and loving; as a son, he honor
ed his widowed mother, and as a
brother he was ever thoughtful, affec
tionate and kind, llis nature exhal
ed goodness and kindness as a flower
sends forth fragrance.
So beautiful a life was crowned by
a death at once peaceful aud trium
phant. “All 13 well,” “I will wait for
you on tho othes shore,” were some of
the expressions used to his deyoted
mother, wife and pastor. It was not
death—it was simply transition. En-
wreathed with fragrant floral offer
ings, he lay in his . coffin like odb
asleep.
Accompanied by his mother and
sisters, Mrs. W. J. McClure and Mrs.
W. A. Candler, and Mr. Pike Smith,
^»t Thomasville, the body arrived in
LaGrange on yesterday (Thursday)
at 4 a. m, via Montgomery, and, at
ten o’clock, the funeral services, con
ducted by Rev. R. W. Bigham, as
sisted by Rev. S. P. Callaway, took
place at the residence of Capt. Mc
Clure. Tbe evidences of genuine
sorrow on the part ot [ our citizens
were abundant, a large number of
whom were present. Mr, Bingham’s
address wob most appropriate aud con
solatory. His loving tribute to the
deceased young man evoked a re
sponse in every heart. A detach-
Hi&ut of the LaGrange Light Guards
were iu the procession to the grave.
At Thomasville, the testimonials of
affection and respect were very mark
ed.
In our lovely Hill View Cemetery,
eido by ride with his kindred and
friends gone before, rests all that is
earthly ol our young friend, but the
immortal spirit lives forever in &
higher sphere and with nobler em-
ploy.
May the All in All fill the hearts
that are so sorely bereaved by his
death.

says in his letter that the charge to
the effect that the office was to 1
pensate him for campaign contribu
tions,, is utterly false. He says that
his contributions were for legitimate
campaign expenses when the national
committee were short of funds, and
that ho did not ask, or expect, any
compensation in any shape.

Ex**Minister Steven -, late of Hono
lulu, wants to mend t’.e morals of the
iate -queen of thos .• islands. Mr.
Stevens will ptobably not -confine his
missionary efforts to Hawaii. He will
doubtless frame a rigid code of morals
for ruling families, and all others,
based on the puritanical tenets of
New England.

Upon examination it was found that

There is a gentleman stopping at
tho Stuart whose name and presence
recalls one . of the saddest chapters in
American history. We refer to Mr;
J. Stanley Brown, of Washington, D.
C. Mr. Brown was private secretary
to President Garfield from his inaugu
ration up to the hour of his assassin&a
tion in the Baltimore and Ohio depot
in Washington, by that crank Guit-
ea?t. The young secretary,* few years
since, married one of the accomplish
ed daughters of the deceased presi
dent. Mr. B*-owu is a gentleman of
pleasing address, a scholarly, cultured
man, and very popular with a wide
circle of acquaintances made during
his residence in Washington.

ceedings in the house, on Saturday:
The bill of Mr. Redden berry, of
Thomas, to amend the charter of the
town of Cairo, was put on third read
ing. -A petition from certain citizens
of Cairo protesting against the amend
ment, which would have the effect of
extending the town limits, was read.
A counter petition signed by about a
similar number of citizens, \7j-s alro
presented. Mr. R-oddenberry made
an argument in behalf of the bill,
which was finally^ returned to the cal
endar, no/quotum being present.
