The increase in the size of fortunes
and the corresponding advance in the
standard of living in the United States
are indicated by the fact that the estate
of the late Secretary Windom foots up
$200,000, though it was announced that
he died “a poor man.”

Upon petition of the creditors
of t ho Brunswick Times. that
paper has been placed in the hands of a
receiver, who is Mr. McK. F. Cook, the
present managing editor. Tho paper will
continue to be published under the re
ceivership until such timo as a sale can
be effected under order of tho court. It
Is expected that all matters will be
speedily adjusted, and the Times con
tinue to go to its readers, serve its ad
vertisers, and labor with unremitting
zeal in behalf of Brunswick.
The Daily Keccrd, of Greensboro, N.
C., calls attention to tho following-state
ment, which appears in a pamphlet just
Issued about Greensboro: “Greensboro
has four banks. The banks loaned dur
ing the past twelve months an aggregate
gum of *2,000,100.8.1, and suffered not
one cent’s loss to any one of them dur
ing the entire yoar. Not only havo
these banks not lost one cent by bad or
fraudulent paper or payments, neither
has any endorser or surety had to make
any of the payments for their principal
or original borrower.”
WllEN* a resolution was passed by tho
legislature on Thursday asking that
Hon. Pa -rick Calhoun address that body
on the benefits to be derived to the peo
ple of Georgiit from tho deepening of
water at Savannah, Brunswick and
other ports, tha fight view was obtained
by grouping these toge.her. Savannah,
It Is true, desired the prestige of a single
mention, but such was r.ot given, ard
should not have been given. Deep w.v
ter for both ports is what ought to be
' worked for. Tho Times is in favor of
deep water at Savannah and is willing to
assist according to the measure of its
ability ia getting it.—Brunswick Times.
As wiLU.be seen from reading through
the Legislative proceedings, a flood of
patty billa of no earthly importance or
cojeem to the masa of the people of
Georgia, la being introduced; and if occ-
fourth of these become laws, the Legis
laturo will be in session until Christmas.
A good way to check this perpetual mo
tion business is to put into force the old
Spartan rule that the Introducer of any
new law had to do so standing under a
gallows with a rop f around his nook,
and If the people failed to ratify and ac
cept the proposed new law, the proposer
waa swung off into spaee. It looks like
this Is a good season of the year to re
vive'some ancient methods of holding
. down some too ambitious law-makers.
TUB NEW DISTRICT.
The opinion seems to prevail very
largely among the members of the legis
lature that In the roapportlonment of
oongrea^onal districts Brunswick should
be separated from Savannah, so that the
former can be relieved of the great dis
advantage of being represented by i
congressman who owea his first allegi
ance to Savannah.
It fai almost ImpossibU for a congress
man to work through an appropriation
for two seaports In his dlatriot; ha must
work for one or the other; end conic
quently Brunswick bas so far fayed very
With representatives that ‘can work
each for his own port, both our seaside
cities can gain advantages that will re
flect back great benefits upon the Inte
rior that feeds them; and for these rea
sons the consensus of opinion seems to
be towards the separation of these two

put up for single blessedness *21 a year;
between 35 and 40, *10 a year; between
40 and 45, *100; between 41 and 50, *150;
and all between 50 and 00 years, *200.
This is considered rough on the old
fellows. Some of them are making a
“grand kick,” and protest against being
lined for not doing a thing which, in
many cases, it is Impossible for them to
do, and which no man can do alone.
Besides, they think the scale of prices
ought to be reversed. Make the young
fellows pay the heavy tax, and let the
bald heads off cheap.
Then we have the bill prohibiting all
doctors and druggists from using intoxi
cating liquor while on duty. (This is
generally approved.)
Another, that all consumers of liquor
shall be compiled to take out a license,
tho same as the men who sell the stuff.
(Gracious, what a revenue this would
bring to the state.)
And then there is the bill condemning
the practice of lawyers resorting to all
sorts of trickery to save well-known
criminals from their just deserts, and
recommending that all such barristers
l>e reminded that they are not doing
their duty to society by such “shystcr-
ing.”
NOT OCT VET.
Tho bottom has not dropped out of the
melon market yet. If the shipment of
inferior fruit can be stopped the market
will bo all i ight. The manager of the
Macon Produce -Exchange, which is
handling the western melon shipments,
says the market is In a better condition
now than it has been for a week. Tho
prospect Is that good stock will continue
to bring satisfactory pi ices. The Indi
ana crop will not hurt western markets
before August 1. South Carolina is now
shipping at tho rate of only about sixty
carloads per day.
“If we can keep out the culls," said a
leading shipper, “it will be all right, but
when a lot of poor melons are sent into
town, It spoils the market even for good
ones, and It remains spoiled until the
culls are gone. Good melons, weighing
from twenty pounds up, will always
bring decent prices where the market is
not glutted. Growers will learn, after
awhile, not to ehlp poor stock. Another
source of trouble lias been the exaction
of freight prepayment on the lines run
ning north and east of Atlanta. This
has sent an overload of melons to the
western markets, which ere now pretty
well glutted In consequence. Still good
melons are bringing from $150 to $175
per car load in Chicago. St. Lonia and
Kansas City are beginning to be eupplied
from the Misaouri crop. In all proba
bility it will pay to ship first-class mel
ons to the north and east eight or ten
day* yet"—Savannah Mows.
CO HOME.
Those who pote from day to day tha
insipid accounts of our Legislative pro
ceedings, and the waste of timo and the
people’s money resulting from such
frivolous legislation will be tempted to
join the chorus that Is already beginning
to swell throughout Georgia that the
Legiklatare is killing time and should
speedily wind up end go home.
s There is really only one necessary
piece of legislation to be enacted, and
that la tbe reapportionment of the con-
greealonal districts of the state, by
whtbb &e new eleventh district is to be
created. .
News says that Smithville is on the high
road to prosperity.
Mr Lee Snider, of Schley, lias been
troubled for some time by a thief who
regularly visited his watermelon patch,
lie finally stooped him with a double-
barreled shot gun.
The Madisonian asserts that Madison
will have public schools. The election
was at first declared against the schools,
but a contest disclosed a majority of one
in favor of the schools. Tikis was a close
shave.
Charles Adams, who is charged with
the murder of Lewis Munn at Omaha,
early in tbe spring, was captured at
Richland Thursday, and is now behind
the bars in tho Lumpkin jail. Both are
negroes.
If the speakership comes south, and
there seems very little doubt that it will,
Judge Crisp will bo the man, and lie is
not only well qualified but well deserv
ing of the office from the party.—
Carnesville Courant.
Mr. R. Don McLeod, who lias recently
purchased the Macon County Citizen,
bas greatly Improved that paper, and is
giving the people of Macon county a
first-class weekly paper. He is an ex
perienced newspapor man, and deserves
a liberal support.
Those who wanted to know “who Pat
Calhoun was” last Xovombcr, when he
was a candidate for United States sena
tor, will have an opportunity of finding
out moro about him, as be is now going
before tho people of Georgia on the po
litical issues of tbe day. lie was billed
