The advice is sound, and It is satisfactory to learn that it is taken by a large proportion of the people to whom it is given. 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 i Into different districts. 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 to speak in Talbotton Friday, and in Richmond county Saturday, and at El' berton one day this week. ne will bo accompanied by Messrs.
