Some negroes in Brunswick have
formed a hand of white cappers,

The Berrien County News has
been merged into a lurger paper,
the South Georgian, and we ac
knowledge receipt of the first issue,
wishing for it the highest rounds
of success, which the first number
seems io predict.
The Governor of Georgia and
the Mayor of Atlanta have pro
tested against the proposed rallying
of a neg-o regiment at Fort Mc-
Pherson. in that city. The au
thorities at Washington have bean
notified that such action would
probably lead to serious trouble.
Counsel for Geo. H. Penfield, of
Washington, has filed a claim
against the State of Georgia, for
$90,000 for arms bought by the
State, but seized by the United
States government just before the
days of secession in 1861. The
trial of the case promises some in
teresting law-points.
And now it appears that a news

Ibis will reduce the number of
papers in the county to two, where

you try the experiment, and test
the efficacy of fresh air on the hu
man body.—Dalton Argus.
, knA Sml* vfwlwith
-0 A
ern Georgia, living aL
has been put forward for nomina
tion as Senator from the fifth Sen
atorial district by some of his
friends. So well known and uni
versally esteemed his consent to be
come a candidate is all that is re
quired to secure his nomination by
Ware, and endorsement by Coffee
and Clinch. Captain Johnson is
better known by the people of
these counties than be is by the
writer, still, during her life she lias
never heard the Captain spoken of
save as an honest, safe, far-sighted
man, more ofasaw-mill genius and
manager than a politician. The
Breeze favors the introduction
of honest, toiling men into the leg
islative assemblies of Georgia.
Where the shrewd politician
and man that “know.-, better than
any one else how to run the gov
ernment” has been left at home
and an honest, true man, not to be
bought or controlled by money has
been put forward lasting work has
been done, and neglected avenues
of legislative needs have been un
covered, and their term of office
was marked with general good for
the masses.
The Breeze awaits Captain John
son’s nomination by his own peo
ple with anxiety, because bis en
dorsement would follow, and if
allowed to interfere in Ware’s
nominations would insist that
Captain Lemuel Johnson, of Ware
county, be the next Senator from
the Fifth district.
A Dangerous Bridge.
People traveling over the Pear
son and Douglas road should be
very careful in crossing the bridge
over Satillu River lest serious uo
cidents occur.
In the first place the floor planks
of the bridge are more than half
rotten and liable to break with
the weight of an ordinarily heavy
horse, which of course would result
in a broken or sprained leg and
possibly u wreck of the vehicle,
with its contents dumped into the
river.
In the next place the banisters
are down in two places, one im
mediately over the run. A scarry
horse, shying from the open gap
may go over the opposite side before
bis driver realizes the danger.
But the most imminent condition
is hidden. It is the stringers of
the bridge, some of which are de
cayed through, and only await a
heavy loaded wagon to give them
a sudden jar, when team, vehicle
and load will all go crashing into
the river with perhaps loss of life
and destruction of property.
The Condition of this bridge has
not been reported to ps bv excitable
people, but has beau personally In,
spected In the writer and we
advise everybody to go over it
with great care and as many as
possible to avoid it.
The county commissioners know
the condition of the bridge, but
like every other pilbljc interest in
Coffee county, repairs tlieiuon aiu
being deferred as long as possible
in order to save money. If one
person should be drowned there it
would cost the county as much as
anew bridge, j’his js |als<‘ econo
my, Gentlemen of Authority, end
we beg you to have it fixed at once
■>—not in thirty or sixty days, but
commence the work within a week.
In the proceedings of the Drey
fus trial the words “dossier” and
“bordereau’' appear frequently and
contuse those who do not under
stand what the words mean. A
“dossier" is simply a file of papers ;
a “bordereau” is an itemized mem
orandum. The bordereau in the
Dreyfus case contained many items
about the French evolutions, about
guns, about the drill and numbers
of tilings essential and non-essen
tial, but none that any military man
lias yet said would convey any use
ful information to the authorities of
Italy, Germany or any other nation
lying near to or remote from
France.
Congressman Brantley, so some
of our exchanges say, savs he has
every reason to be encouraged over
the outlook tor democratic success
in the next presidential election;
and that he believes Mr. William
J• Bryan will be nominated by ac
clamation.—Black shear Times.
