OUR WATER.
'Than ii nothin? mote conducive of
good health than pare water. This
fact has been proven in the limestone
gectionsof Southwest Ga. On one
plantation (Col Fort’s) the death
nte among the laborers has been
very great,. . An. artesian well has been
bored, the first we. believe in the State
the w*ter fromwhiehhas rteolution-
ized tire health of the place, making
it as renowned for its health as it had
teen for itB sickness. Carrying out
this idea other places have sought
and are seeking a similar remedy.
In the absence of this lnxnry it is re
commended that we sink our driven
.^rells sufficiently deep to get rid of
the surface water; until recently, 16
feet was considered sufficient. This
idea has been exploded and numbers
have driven their wells to 80 odd feet,
thereby naproving*the water very ma
terially. It is the candid opinion of
onr health officer, Dr. Blain, that
with proper drinking water, oars
would be the healthiest oity.in all the
land, there being no other causes for
sickness of a local character. He re
commends the BinkiQg of onr pumps
as above described, thus getting rid of
not only the surface water but all the
impurities to which it is subject from
drainage, cesspools etc. Meanwhile
we do not take back a word we have
written on the subjeot of artesian
water, this we claim is a necessity
and most come sooner or later.
Broke Jail,
Last Wednesday night between the
hours of eight and nine, three prison
ers escaped from our lock-up. There
were four in the cell, two ohained to
a bolt, two others not. By some means
a file was gotten and the chains eat.
The lock (alturge pad-lock) was pick
ed, either by the parties within,
through the grated door, or by oth rs
outside. Three of the men toot leave,
but one preferred to remain. Those
who escaped ate John Williams,
James Bartehgbs and Wanea Tharpe.
Williams is the same chap that tried
to kill Marsha! Beach a fewyears ago,
and for which he has served two years
in the convict camp. He has been ar
rested five times since January for mi
nor offenoes. James Burroughs is the
obap who tried to out his wifeyi throat
some time ago in a fit of jealousy.
Tharpe is charged with burglary.
The fellow who remained when the
rest left is the oolored individual, Ed
ward Blakely, who threatend some
time since to burn up the town.—
These fellows are still at liberty. The
above suggests the importance of a
- safer place for the confinement of pris
oners, one similar to that burned just
after the war—so strong that a 6x6

soldiers conld not break in the door,
even when a prisoner within was

Judge M. L. Jtfershon, of the
Brunswick airouit, will be e candidate
for re-election before the next Legia-

be elected by an overwhelming vote
we have not the slightest doubt.
He is true blue, and as popular as
ever.—Darien Gazette.
Correct Colonel. Judge Mersbon

THEN AND NOW.
ie following is an
tide No. 1, of a series published in
,the Brunswick Advocate 18^9,'ad
vocating that, wljioh is of vital im
portance tons to-day, viz, the lum
ber business. The article in ques
tion is signed •‘Refleoter.” It refers
in ripping terms tot

Steam mills can be erected for $7000 $!
to a saw or gang of saws. One sin- u '
gle saw or one gang of saws will cat,
when properly attended, At least
6000 feet in 24s hours, vyhioh would ba,
180,000 feet per month, 1,660,000 feet
a year. The nnmber of hahds
necessary to attend a saw, or gang of
saws, indnding engineers, is not over
seven. ‘ Beckoning these at $400 a
yeareach, indnding board, and yon
have sin expense for labor, of
Add to this $200, for repairs, and you
have an expense of $3000. ,. Add to
this the interest of $7000, at eight
per cent, and you have an snnnal oat-
lay of $3560; divide this by the
amount sawed in a year, (1248 m.)
with a deduction of 20. per cent, for
eontingeuces, and yon have a cost of
abont $2.85 cts. per thousand for saw
ing. Add to this $8 per thousand for
the cost of timber at the mill, and
yon have an expense or ontiay of
$5.85 cts. per thousand, or an annual
expense of about $7804. The interest
on the small amount of capital neces-
saoy to carry on a mill after it is built,
is hardly worth considering.
Allowing ,io .the next place, you
sawed lumber to sell for $12 per
thousand at the head o£ ship naviga
tion, (where mills should always be
placed to prevent lumber from being
split dirted, lost, and otherwise injur
ed by removal) which is below its
present valne, (it has been estimated
some at $15 per thousand)
and yon have an annual gross amount
from one saw, or one gang of saw#,
of $14,976, or a net profit, on an in
vestment of $7000, besides interest at
eight per cent, of at least $7,670.
Mills built on a huge scale, that is,
with from three to six saws or gang
under one roof, the economy is much
better, and the expense much less in
proportion. Every.part of well built
steam .mills will last ten years, and
can then be rebuilt for About one half
of the orignal cost. As I said at first ;
there are between the rivers St. Marys
and Altamaha at least two million acres
of excellent timber lands. These will
yielcTat least, at the first catting,
3000feet to the acre, which, when
manufactured at $5 net profit per
thousand, (whioh is less than the rea
sonable expectation under the pres
ent state-of things) would aflord a
notgainlof thirty million of dollars.
In -ten years after, a second crop
could be obtained from the same
land of nearly eqnal value. Such is

Brick and Lime.
Owing to oar city council having
passed a fire limit, and in order that
all partite who may desire to bnild
within the fire limit should not be de
prived for the Want of, material,
we havehnadca contract with Bogen
& Cto., of Macon, by which we an
enabled to deliver brick by the quan
tity on ear here at $9.25. We are also
agents for the celebrated Catoosa
lime which we will also offer an in
ducement to parties purchasing by
the quantity. When we take into
consideration that the' bnilder' tin
Brnnswick can lay down material for
a brick building cheaper, than can
tbe builder of New York, there
should no longer be any excuse to
erect wooden bnildings within the fire
limits. LrrrtmEP & Tison.
