Brunswick and Western Railroad Shops, “The Contract tor building the new railroad shops of the Brunswick and Western railroad was let out last Sat urday to Ed. Braggins, Esq., who promises to do the bpok work in three weeks. The brick and lumber have been ordered, and will soon lie on the ground.”—Brunswick Herald. We are pleased to note the prompt ness with which the Manager of the road has gone about this work, and to be made of brick; that is so much better. Now, Mr. Gad- diss, when this Mr. Bragins is through with the railroad shops, won’t you send him or some other fit and competent person up here and let him build us i brick depot? We need it very much the traffic of the road is increasing; the freight receipts to and from this place demand it, and wc believe the compa ny’s interests require it. Think about , and with your usual promptness attend to this matter, and we’ll climb to the top of the highest hill and shout praise wfth a hearty good will. 8t.

A reliable correspondent writing from Talbottonin regard to ex-Gov. Smith’s speech in which he endeavored to ar ray the people against the railroad in terests of the State, says: “It was cal culated to arouse hostility between cap ital and labor.” That’s bad business for an ex-Govcrnor to be engaged in— stiring up the two powers that, com bined, furnish a lever with which the world may be moved, and opposed to each t*theYmust bring discord and ha tred. The people of Georgia are warn ed against him. Having some grudge, or being actuated by some motive, we know not what, he bids defiance to the corporations that have opened up the resources of the country, and tries to get the people to adopt his “kill the country policy.” What man is so blind to reason that he should vote for men who oppose protection to the railroad interests of the country? Has not the railroad companies as much right to appeal from the tyranical decisions of the commissioner as a private citizen has to carry his case from a lower to a higher tribunal ? The Headmu ht holds that one has no more rights than the other before the courts. This is all the railroads ask—it is all we ask—and it is all that wo have ever asked for, and notiiing more than justice. We do not desire the destruction of the com- ive want the law governing its mysterious and one-sided workings modified, so that the railroad managers may have a voice in court; that they may have some control of their proper ty, and that capitalists may not be driven from our laud to inves iting fields.

The Central Railroad’s gauge will lack half an inch of being standard when changed, but, i.t is claimed, no annoyance will be occasioned. A citizen of Monticello says that when the Covington and Macon railroad is completed, all the people of that town will excurt in a body to Macon. An exchange says a discharged con ductor in Florida has whipped out a whole railroad corporation. This be longs properly under the head of rail road raeket. A Savannah, Florida and Western railroad man, of a colored way of twisting brakes was killed, by^being ^ The Supreme Court of Texas has de cided that a railroad is liable for injury to a free-pass passenger, holding that the same degree of care was incumbent upon the carriers of f^ssengers in the case of one traveling on a free pass as in ic case oi a passenger paying full fare. A corps of engineers will soon com mence a survey of a new railroad to run from Spartanburg to Blackville, S. C., Ex-Governor Smith has commenced operations, that is speech making, in support of the railroad commission. The railroad commission needs no sup port; it needs doctoring—modifying. Ex-Governor Smith is the only per son that has anything wrong to say of Gov. McDaniel, and that ts prompted because our Governor is opjwsed to the absolute powers of the railroad commis sion. • The Albany Medium has suspended publication and brother Hanlon has made an assignment of bis office for the benefit of his creditors.

He is making speeches against the fostering of railroad enter prises, the building up of the wapte- placcs in the State, but all this racket may be a blind to feel the pulse of the people as to his chances for Governor. Wo hope the masses know how to treat him. A man that will stump the State to check the building up of the country won’t make a good Governor. The wife-of J. U.

She claims that it will kill him to continue working in the g'ang. She thinks that if she can get one- half of the fine remitted she can pay the other half. If she fails in getting the fine reduced or remitted she will endeavor to have her husband tranferred to the jail. She will appeal to Judge Van Epps, and will also call on the Governor.

The negroes had murdered a white man in cold-blood. Mr. Thomas Gray, a farmer living near Nashville, Tenn., returned from town last Wednesday and found his wife murdered, shot in the. back of tho head, while the infant child sat beside its mother, playing in her life blood. A negro, John Gillispie, has been arrested for the crime, it being pretty clearly proven that he killed the lady in an at tempt at rape. Lynching is probable. Refcring to an item which appeared in this paper last week, Perham, of the Quitman Free Press says: “Jim Free man, the crazy editor of the Headlight wrote the above. He is always trying to get us into trouble.” This is not the first case on record where a lunatic ac cuses his friends of being crazy. We a*k for an enlargement of the asylop. Go it, “old *h*rct*U!” On the Alabama road, about five miles from town, by the side of the road, is a lonely grave that marks the resting place of an unknown Confederate sol dier, who was killed during Mlie war in a skirmish or while on picket duty nearby. The good people of the neighborhood have placed asubstautial fence around the grave.—Rome Courier. A $60,000 hotel is now on the tapis at Brunswick. Mr. Mil- bank proposes to subscribe $30,000 and the old hotel site opposite the big artesian well at its assessed valuation, if the citizens will subscribe the re maining $30,000. It is pro posed to have the building, ex clusive of furniture or the land ou which it stands, cost 160,000. Mr. R. E.

Still the hideous scandals accumulate. No sooner than it had been settled that Grover Cleveland, the boy, did not run away with his grandmother’s cat and singe its tail over a baking fire than it is confident ly asserted that Grover Cleve land, the man, oNce belonged to a fire company and that he used to jump on the steamer and make the other fellows pull him to the scene .of the con flagration.
