FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR,
HENRY G. TURNER
OF BROOKS.
Tomer at Our Masthead.
The Herald nail* the name of Henry
<i. Turner, of Brooks, to it* masthead
to-day as it* candidate for United
States Senator, and proposes to use every ■
legitimate means in its power to secure
his election. We claim that under the
circumstances the announcement is not
ill-timed or premature. Other candi
dates have been announced, and it is not
at all impossible that their followers are
trying to get the “cinch” on certain
counties. Let it be understood through
out the length and breadth of the State,
that Turner will be in the race. South
(ieorgia now presents the name of one
who is the peer of any man in the coun
try, north or south. Many of the best
men in north (ieorgia haye signified
their desire to do South Georgia justice.
The opportunity will now lie presented
them and we do not fear the result.

FAILED TO CATCH IT.
Bat The Fault Was Sot at This End of
the Line.
The usually wide-awake reporter for
the Brunswick Times-Advertiser failed
to' catch this item : “A party of ladies
and gentlemen from Waycross camped
out on the steamboat wharf, Saturday
night, until twelve o’clock, trying to
catch a boat to St. Simon, where their
friends were anxiously expecting them.
No boat turning up they were compelled
to turn in as best they might.”—Way-
cross Herald.
Begging pardon, the u. w. a. r. did
catch it, but not so excitedly as our
esteemed neighbor has it. We are in
full sympathy with any delayed party
making for the shores of St. Simon, and
more particularly with our good neigh
bors from Waycross. At the same time
we should state things without prejudice.
The delayed Waycross party should not
have camped on the wharf. Because of
the delay of the Waycross train to an
unreasonable hour, in deference to a
large list of passengers from the up
country, as well as at Brunswick, Capt.
Dart succumbed to his regular schedule
and the demands of a hundred passengers,
rather than to-the misfortune of a dozen.
The Atlanta passengers were promised a
6:30 o’clock schedule to the island from
Brunswick, without a knowledge of the
7:30 change. The train was delayed to
8:30. That delay was at Waycross.
Capt. Dart is an accommodating manager.
THE END OF THE WOBLD.
II will not be au Accidental bnt a Nat
ural Death.
According to all probability, not-'
withstanding all tbe circa instances
which threaten it, our planet will die,
not of an accident, but a natural
death. Tbe death will be the conse
quence of the extinctiou of the suo

haps thirty— since the condensatioj^^

it, on one hand, 17,000,000 years of
existence, while on the other hand,
the inevitable fall of meteors into the
sun may doable this number, says
L’Astronomie.
Even if you suppose the duration
of the sun to be prolonged to 40,000.-
000 years, it is still incontestable
that the radiation from the sun cools
it, and that the temperature of all
bodies tends to an equilibrium.—
Then the earth and all other planets
of our system will cease to be the
abode of life. They will be erased
from the great book and will revolve,
black cemeteries around an extin
guished sun.
Will these planets continue to ex
ist there ? Yes, probably, in the
case of Jupiter and perhaps Saturn.
No, beyond a doubt, for the smaller
