BRUNSWICK. - OEOROIA?
SATURDAY Moimmo. MABCI111.1W
. Sweet k Co., bankers of Boston,
have failed for about $4,000,000.
Three hundred Bcres of watermel
ons have been planted in Brooks coun
ty. They are up and growing nicely.
Mr. Conkling has declined the po
sition of Associate Chief Justice. We
believe that was all “cut and dried”
beforehand. .
McLean, the would-be assassin of
tho Queen of England, is an ex-luna
tic. He attempted to wreck a rail
way train in 1871.
It is intimated that the Oovernor
will call the Legislature together at
an early day for the purpose of re
districting tho State.
Mr. H. B. Hack has bought tbo old
Hooker mill site, at the 31st milo post,
on the M. k B. B. R., and will soon
move his mill to that point from its
present location, at GJ on the S. F. k
W. Railway.
The two young men, Harnett and
Welsh, who stolo $500 from Mr. T. Q.
Fleming, a guest at the Harnett
House, Savannah, and went to New
York, have been arrested and will be
brought back to justice. Give them
each a striped suit.
Guiteau, instead of becoming a rav
ing maniac, as was predicted, has
grown fat on his own egotism. He
does not deign to speak with otbor
prisoners. He is raising considerable
money from the sale of his pictures
and autographs. He seems to have
no idea that his neck will break on
tho 30th of June. He still believes
that he will be cleared.
The average Liberty county darkey
delights in going to law, not for what
he can get out of his adversary, but
for the supreme delight of knowing
that ho mado him pay the cost. One
sued another some time since for one-
half of a ten-cont watermelon, in
which they bad jointly invested. His
chum ate the whole melon, hence the
suit. His joy at making said chum
"pay do cost’’ far exceeded the loss of
his share of tho molon.
' A correspondent of tho News and
Advertiser says that in Kansas, where
ho is, tbo girls “can stand flnt-footod
iu a half-bushel mensuro and sling a
sack of salt on their shoulders." IIo
thiuKs of mnrrying ono of tin in. Ho
is welcome to her. Tho first thing
ho knows he’ll bo slung across her
knee, and thou will come sad music.
Besides, we shouldn’t think any man
would want a girl who required a naif-
bushel measure for standing room.

OUR HARBOR CONTRASTED
WITH SAVANNAH’S.
YVe find tho following in tho Savan
nah News of Monday last, in an edito
rial on the ^Improvement of tho Sa
vannah:” Jf ’ v " % £
The depth of water over the bar at
pbee at high tide is twenty-seven feet,
..Mle the average depth of water in
the river to this city is nineteen feet.
Thus it will oe seen that there is
more water over our bar than those
of either Brunswick or Charleston,
and equally as- much as over that at
Port Royal, while our harbor possess
es additional advantages over all
theso ports, inasmuch as being frosh
water it cleanses the bottoms of ves
sels from barnacles and other salt wa
ter nuisances, and no matter how
long they lay at anchor they run no
risk of accumulating any such ob
struction to satisfactory navigation.
For these reasons ship owners always
give this the preference over rival
ports whenever possible; but, besides
all this, Savannah, on account of her
desirable location, and intimate con
nection through her railways with a
large and already prosperous and rap
idly developing region of country, has
become the first cotton port of the
South Atlantic, and her commercial
importance is universally recognized.
Now wo havo no fight to make with
our cotomporary in his efforts to build
up Savannah. Such is but his duty,
and wore ho to fail in a single partic
ular lie would be derelict in that du
ty. Savannah is a grand old city.—
Wo never walk her bandsomo streets
but there rises up within our bosom n
feeling of pride. As a Georgian wo
arc proud of hor beauty and her
wealth and Lor people. F»i i>o it
from us to raiso a single llablo
against Savannah and her a-ity,
but as tbo mouthpicco of I ■ ick’s
interests wo will not have nu u.ubor’s
advantages overshadowed and belit
tled. What if Tybee has a fow inches
moro water on hor bar than Bruns
wick ? It is seventeen miles up to
the city, to say nothing of tho ob
structions in that river placed thero
during tbo war, many of which, if wo
mistako not, still remain, while Bruns
wick has u broad, clear channel with
a depth of from five to six fathoms,
and tho city is removed from tho
ocean only sufficiently fur to secure
perfect safety.
Then again oitr cotemporary seoks
to contrast tho two ports on other
points—for ■ instance, frosh and salt
water, giving the advantage to the
fresh. Wo will, for "tho sake of argu
ment, admit tho barnacle joke, but
would ask our esteemed cotomporary
if this is to ho considered a single
momont when tho matter of health is
brought against it? A vosscl can lie
at anchor at our wharves from Janua
ry to December, and hor crow bo as
healthy as upou tho top of Stone
Mountain, for our waters aro entirely
froo from fresh water. Can our co
temporary say as much for tho stream
that lnvos beautiful Savannah? We
think not.
Again, our cotomporary is entirely
mistaken about vessels preferring Sa
vannah to Brunswick on the score of
fresh wator. Tho facts aro just the
reverse—at least, so all sea captains
toll us who are| in the habit of visit,
ing both places. Again, if onr har
bor be inferior to Savannah, why are
the shippers of Savannah gradually
drifting hither—Reppard, Bacon &
Co., McDonough, Chas. Green's Sons,
etc. ?
Now, wo say we cheerfully admit
for argument sake that onr sister city
has mor>- money, more architectural
beauty, mid less barnacles, but we do
not admit the harbor alligation. The
harbor of Brunswick, in its entirety,
has no .uperior south of Norfolk.
This G. ■ ral Gillmoro or any other
cnginei - ill admit It is lnnd-lockod,
deep, r ; -cions, healthy from Janna
ry to Jiiuuary, and will take seventy
five per cent less money to make it
perfect than will that of our sister
city. The good people of Savannah
will pardon ns for drawing these com
parisons. Wo do so because we are
assailed, and not that wo even look
upon Savannah as a rival, although
our cotemporary is pleased to desig
nate us os such. There is plenty of
room for both Brunswick and Savan
nah, and all we ask is that which le
gitimately belongs to us. Simply this
and nothing moro.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
A Flyinn Trip to Liberty County—
Incidents by the way.
Boarding the outward bound E. T.
V. & Ga. Railroad train last Satur
day morning, we settled down, for a
quiet ride, and succeeded beautifully
nntil we reached Sterling station, No.
1, when onr train was boarded by a
large party of raft hands, who htfd
been over to Darien, sold their tim
ber and were making their way back
home. It must have been the first
trip with some of them, for, notwith
standing the fact that they had pur
chased second-class tickets, they want
ed to ride in first-class coaches. This,
however, was promptly objected to by
the conductor. When we took a good
look at some of those chaps and saw
tho amount of ignorance and lack of
culture that marked their every ac
tion and word, to say nothing of their
boing, some of them, at least, befud
dled with whisky, we must- confess
that our opinion of the yeomanry of
Georgia somewhat lessened.
En passant, we would state that the
sale of tickets at Sterling station many
months of the year exceeds that of any
other station on the road and fre
quently that of Macon itself. $380
worth were Hold one day Inst week,
and $250 the next day. Extra cars
ire frequently necessary. The hack
lines from Darien connect here and
the travel of timbormen and raft
bands is very great. Tho Company
mftko special rates for them to keep
them out of the first-class coaches.—
The greatest firmness on tho part of
the conductors is necessary in their
management. Arriving at
. JESUS,
The question confronted us, “ how
shall wo get to Liberty?” Tho accom
modation train had left just about a
half hour boforo our train arrived in
Jesup, and tho Jacksonville fast mail
with which wo connected would not
stop again before reaching Savannah;
so we lmd to take the only alterna
tive, viz: Go through to Savannah
and come ont on the afternoon train.
This, however, proved a plensaut trip
for us, for wo met iu the city and
camo out with our former townsman
Rev. J. H. T. Waite and bis good la
dy and two of the boys. This was, to
us, an unexpected plonsuro. From
him wo learned that although his
beautiful homo iu Dorchester, Liborty
county, hud been destroyed by fire,
ho had just finished a new two-story
residence on tho road leading from
Medway to Sunbury, and had also re
built the chapel at Medway that was
blown down by tbo storm last fall.—
Whilst in this connection, we will re
late a bit of nows that wo gathered
on this trip touching tho old Medway
church: Siuco tho war its mombers
havo all cast tbeir lots elsewhere with
ono exception—an elderly lady, now
residing in Thomas county. She still
refuses to place hor membership else
where, preferring to dio a member of
the old Medway Congregational
church.
Wo wero sorry to find the farmers
of old Liberty forsaking their farms
and going into the “turpentine busi
ness.” This may prove more lucra
tive just now, but, in the long run, it
will provo disastrous, we fear.
The question of “fence” and “no
fence” is being agitated, and the cause
of “no fence” espoused by the colored
eloment, most of whom are not stock
owners only on a small scale. We
boar also that the railroad folks advo
cate the same measure, for, although
there is a statute, we believe, requir
ing owners whose stock get on the
track and wreck trains, etc., to pay
for snch damages, the railroad pre
fers rather to pay a nominal price for
stock killed than to attempt to carry
out the law, thus gaining the displeos
are of the people along the lines. It
is but natural, therefore, that the rail
roads should wunt “no fence,” and,
consequently, no stock running at
large.
At our old home in Liberty county
we found the Academy closed for lack
of pupils, and a general spirit of un
rest among the people—u desire to go
elsewhere to improve tbeir fortunes.
We have long held to the opinion
that blood will tell. Qf this we were
most thoroughly convinced on this
trip, for it was onr misfortune to ride
in a coach with a.lady who was tak
ing her first trip, we should think.—
She let all her fellow passengers know
just where she had been and how she
liked each place. As wqsat and heard
her conversation, wo thought of the
couplet:
< 0, wad nome power the gllUe gle n»
To see oursllves as itbera see us.' r
THE LIQUOR LAW.
The Regulat ions which are to Gov
ern the Saloon Keepers.
The new law passed by Legislature
governing sellers of liquor, requires
that from and after April 1st, 1882,
all sellers of liquor shall, before en
gaging in business, register their
names with the Ordinary of the coun
ty in which they propose to carry on
business. A special book is kept for
that purpose. It is then made the
duty of the Ordinary to notify the Tax
Collector of his county and the Comp
trailer General of the State of thereg
istration; and the Comptroller is re
quired to keep a register of the same.
The Tax Collector is also required to
keep a record of the name of the liq
uor dealer. When the register is
made, tho dealer ft required tout once
pay to tho Tax Collector the entire
year’s tax, and tho law provides that
a failure to pay tho tax or to register
is punishable as a misdemeanor. The
Tax Collector is required to give in
formation against the offender, and
his failure to do so makes it tbo duty
of the Comptroller General to proceed
against him for the amount due by
the defaulting liquor dealer., Tho
books are furnished by the Comptrol
ler General to tho Ordinaries and Tax
Collectors. The Tax Collectors aro
to make quarterly reports to the
Comptroller General and remit to the
State Treasurer. The net does not re
lievo saloon keepers from the opera
tions of United States’ laws. The
grand juries of the counties are re
quired to examino the registers, and
to indict offenders.
Bright la the roay blush of evening skies,
And bright tho waves that ’neath the moonbeams
flow;
Bright aro tho beams from beauty’s laughing eyes.
Am! bright the flowers that in tho woodland glow;
But brighter far tho bloom of health to mo.
