SHOE T EDITOR IA L PA RAGRA PHS When si)vev is cheap the necessi ties of life arc cheap. Cotton went off again in Liver pool on the 27th inst. The latest news from Hawaii is that there is no late news. The gist of the new tariff bill ap pears in our columns to-day. The tie up on the Lehigh Valley road is complete and all traffic is suspended. The Hawaiian issue is accepted as a plank in the democratic platform without cavil. Brunswick’s horrible dream is over, but it was not all a dream. The work of fumigating infected premises is being pushed in Bruns wick. And now the question in Bruns wick is, what are we going to do about it? Charley Hill, of Atlanta, will probably be in the race for Congress against Lon. Livingston. The experts have decided that Frendergast is sane. Well, then, let the curtain rise on the second act. Most of the grest questions now before the public, will have been an swered before tlie spring time comes. The randals are at work in Bruns wick. Conductor Wells* residence was burglarized a few nights since. The next news from Honolulu may be very interesting. In the mean time we can surmise what we please. The Herald is not ashamed or afraid to acknowledge that it is sup porting the administration for all it is worth. If there is any section on the face of the globe that surpasses South Georgia in climate it has not yet been discovered. The thermometer below zero means a big crop of northern tourist for South Georgia and Florida. Let ’em come. Henry S. Cochran the late chief weigher of the Philadelphia Mint, who stole a uumber of gold bars, has been convicted. * The Brunswick Times-Advertiser says: Four vessels going out and a freeze coming in is a good record for one day. The health commission has [an nounced that small pox is epidemic in Chicago. There are eighteen cases under treatment. Ex-President Harrison is said to consider himself the logical candidate of his party for the presidency in 1S9G Of all sad words of tongue or pen, it might be Me. or it might be Ben. - Post. Our great “Snollygoster” Ham says Clay will be the next governor of Georgia. Don’t fly up any tick ets in the Legislature for the people, They’ll smash them certain.—True Citizens. Among the distinguished visitors to Florida this winter will b6 Rev. Dr. Charles Beecher, an eminent di vine and author, who is the;youngest brother of the late Henry Ward Beecher by Rev. Dr. Lyman Beech er’s first wife, famous as Roxanna Beecher, the mother of Mrs. Stowe, JHenry Ward, Catherine, Mrs, Hook er, Edward and Charles. Corbett and Mitchell cannot fight in Florida, so the Governor of that state says. Neither of them are go ing to get hnrt and the Governor need not be at all anxious. It is only a large sized fake. As to fight ing, two more dishonest pings and deadbeats never put their feet inside of a ring under Queensbory rules.— True Citizen. The editor of the Citizen seems to be acquainted with the gentlemen. Yellow fever at Brunswick is a back number. >■ Judge Gober, the celebrated Blue Rrdge Judge, will preside at Pierce court next week. The Brunswick refugees will soon be good citizens again. We con gratulate the refugees. Corpulent bogs arc handing in their checks all over the land. In some localities the hog crop is good. The South Georgia Conference, of th^Methodist Episcopal church, will meet in Dawson, Dec. 13. Bishop Callaway, of Mississippi, will preside over the conference. Several hundred refugees have re turned to their homes in Brunswick. May they never be compelled to leave there on a similar errand. The men who know the most about labor’s wrongs are the ones who know the least about labor. They are too busy inciting strife to work.—Savan nah Press. The Brunswick Times-Advertiser will soon assume its regular size, and get down to the task of building up Brunswick. The T.-A. should re ceive a liberal patronage. The Georgia Legislature will hold its Thanksgiving session in Augusta as the gnestof the Exposition and State Fair. Speaker Crisp has also accepted an invitatiou to be present. The funeral of the third-party in Georgia may be postponed for a few days on account of the weather, but there is scarcely room to doubt that it has shuffled off tnis moral coil. Heeling of the Plant System Officials. The annual meeting ot the officials of the Plant System met to-day in Savan nah, CoL H. S. Haines and the other of ficials have gone to that city. It is understood that the System is in first rate physical condition, and no one doubts that it is one of the best managed in the Middle States and one of the most prosperous. Mr. Plant lia3 only first class men in ’his employ, and this is, doubtless, one of the secrets of the suc cess of this mammoth enterprise. The people of South, South-West Georgia and Florida, have great cause to congratulate themselves, upon the fact that this section is permeated by the dif ferent roads under this superb manage ment. To a very great extent the prosperity and happiness of our own Magic City at this time, is due to the fact that Mr. Plant has retained at full pay, nearly all his empleyes during the stringent times, when other roads were laying them oil* by the hundreds. The Plant people are devoted to their employers and to their system, and it is proper that they should be. The em ployes of the B. & W. and S., F. & W. are, with scarcely an exception, compe tent, sober and highly efficient, hence, the rare occurrence of accidents on their lines. The Plant System will continue to im prove and prosper, and under its pro tecting and fostering care, our own beau tiful city will flourish and grow like a green bay tree, or words to that effect. May Mr. Plant live long to enjoy the fruits of his liberal enterprise and great magnanimity. The city fathers have ordered by telegraph from the Frictionless Metal Co., of Richmond, Va., a Pohle Air Lift pump, guaranteed to lift 150 gals, per minute. The pump cost $1,G50. It will be here in about ten days when it will be put in the ar tesian well in front of the court house and given a test.-Quitman Free Press. IN THE SANCTUMS. Tom Drake killed Warren Paris in Albany day before yesterday. The suspension of the Atlanta Her ald is generally regretted throughout Georgia. Sam Jones says the country is “in a devil of a fix,” and believes Demo crats act the fool, Republicans the knave and the Populists * the baby. To which party does the reveernd gflitleman belong ?—Albany Herald. Editor H. A. Wrench, of Bruns wick, is in the city with bis family for a few days. He bas a lot of friends here.”—Dalton correspondent Atlan ta Journal. The Herald informs us that pecan nuts are graving wild in Dougherty county. Dougherty is a great coun ty. The Baptist Parsonage at Black- shear has been completed. What gets to be a craze at the north the south takc3 it after awhile. Football is now becoming the latest southern Yankee craze. Oh! for something original even if it were only to revive “shinny” of forty yearss ago, played at the old field Georgia schools.—True Citizen. Quitman merchants give notice that their stores will be closed on Thanks giving day. Lowndes Superior court is in ses sion this week. Some Items. Dreamy Novelist: “Ob, what change woman can make in a man 1 life 1” Victim: “Exactly; and what a lot of change she requires doing it!” ' City Sportsman: “Have you seen anything worth shooting at around here?” Farmer; “Well, no; uot until you came.” When a man drinks ten glasses of ice water at breakfast, it is a sign that he didn’f'drink ten glasses of water the night before. Prof. Garner says ibat gorillas dp not talk with chimpanzees, but neg lects to tell us which party is at fault, or which began it.'—Athchison (Kan) Globe. A husband’s rights are becoming more and more restricted. A New York man bas been sent to the peni tentiary because he “spanked” his wife. His plea in extenuation was that it was merely a continuation of J her early home training. The Kings Daughters. The undersigned ladies of King’s Daughters Circle of Watchful Tens, have decided to prepare a basket of fancy articles suitable for Christmas presents, which they will have ready for sale about December 12.

Those who would like to secure pretty handiwork for Christmas presents can get them in this way, and at the same time ccntiibrte to a worthy cause. They will be very grateful to any who will help this cause; money provisions or clothing will be re- received, and they would be gjad to have them in hand by December 20, for their annual Christmas distributions.

Among the insane rumors which those who oppose the Hawaiian policy of the administration clutch and grow frantic over is one said to be contained in a letter received by a San Francisco merchant from his Honolulu corres pondent. to the effict that Lilluokalani had ordered “full train gowns for the la dies of the court and a magnificient pur ple robe for herself, to be used at the restoration,” the date for which the let ter fixed as last Tuesday, November 21. Some usually well balanced journals are almost having convulsions over this statement. We trust the contempora ries will get calm. Queen Lil has a right to order any sort of gowns she lik?s, without throwing the United States in a panic.—Enquirer Sun. A Letter From Brunswick. Brunswick, Ga., Nov. 25, 1893. Editor Herald: Some people might have been amused if they had seen with what intense interest I watch ed a thermometer last night. Since the epidemic commenced I have been engaged in looking out for the safe ty of the cotton factory and its surround-, ings, but last night I think that I watch ed that thermometer more than anything else. Soon after dark the mercury stood at thirty-eight. If it could only gc down six degrees more, the ice kinc would sign the death-warrant of Bruns wick’s terrible enemy. Slowly but sure ly the little bright thread was goinj dewn. By mid-night it was down to I thirty-five; only three more degrees now, and the plague-stricken city will be c:;fe, I watched it now with feverish anxiety, lest it might change and begin to rise, I thought of shaking it to see if that would not make the mercury * sink faster, but then I decided that it weuld be best to let it have its own way. By 2 o’clock it was down to thirty-four, by 4 it was down to thirty-three and just before day- ight the long-wished for point was reached. I went to a hydrant and found that ice had formed, I went to a bucket and ice! ice! ice! ice! everywhere. His majesty has at last placed his foot firmly upon the neck of our fallen foe. The medical authorities will soon have all the houses iu the city fumigated and then they will notify all the absent peo ple that it will be safe for them to re turn to their homes. The freeze could not kill the death-dealing microbes houses that were closed. The experts employed by the government will have to go through all the houses and expose all the beds and clothing to the fume3 of a chemical preparation which des troys the yellow fever germs. If people occupy their houses before this is done, there would be danger of another epi demic ^,in fact, it would be cert? : n to cause another it we were to have a warm Y0UMANS.& GERBER DEALERS IX W ,„uw4 S1LVE-RW7VRE,.

All through the epidemic I would burn sulphur at night in the lit ;le office near the factory or in my house. I did not know that this would kill the mi crobes, though I supposed that when they would smell the burning sulplier, they might possib’y turn up their noses and leaved It certainly smells loud. Medical scientists differ in opinion with regard to this microbe business. Some contend that yellow fever is caused by phosphoric gas. Both parties may be right foj the microbes inay be composed of gas. They might harmonize some where along cn this line and then all would be “calm and serene,” like our good friend, Mr. William Arp.

The wire grass county is in the habit of sending first class men to the Legislature to represent her, and the people of' Ware have cer tainly followed the rule in electing Mr. Wilson. It is said that Mr. Wilson has judicial aspirations, and in the near fu. ture, so his admirers and friends predict, he will be presiding on the superior courc bench of his circuit—Atlanta Con stitution. The Herald copies the above high en dorsement of our able Representative in order to add a word of commendation further. Our people are justly proud of Mr. Wilson, for he has shown himself in every way, worthy of their confidence and esteem.
