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. EDITORIAL SHORT STOPS. ■ The melon crop bu not penned oat much money for the grower this Meson.

There is no doubt that they are all good, conscientious men, and men in the right place too, bnt it seems that if Georgia’s entire delegation to the 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 in 20,000,000 years or more—per haps thirty— since the condensatioj^^ at a relatively moderate rate will giflV 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 bodies, as the earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury and the moon.

Turner as the next United States Senator from Georgia relieves the prospect of much of the wrangling which a straight out sectional fight would produce in our State politics. Mr. Turner is a man of such char- ploys seventy hands and tarns oat 120,000 pipes per week.
