► JJfdvcrJiscr and T.*G. STACY, Editor and Proprietor. 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. UNFORTUNATE ENTKHIMUSES. Failures in tho United si;, tew tho Pant Week.

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.
