The Municipal Election.
Last Saturday was a lively day in
oar town. “From early morn till
dewy eve" committees, with teams,
were rushing here and there in every
direction, bringing voters to the polls
—for, were there not a Mayor and
four Aldermen to be elected?—and,
judging from the appearance of
things, a stranger would have thought
that the fate of empires depended on
that day’s work.
The more we see of elections, the
more we are convinced, as the people
of many other States, that there
should be some kind of qualification
necessary other than those now in
vogue. It is our candid opinion that
no man should be entitled to the
privilege of elective franchise who
cannot read—else how does he know
for whom he is voting, and is not an
election by persons unable to read un
constitutional, the parties voting not
knowing, of their own knowledge, for
whom their votes were cast ? Every
voter should, at least, be able to reg
ister his name, business, age and
place of residence.
Below we give the results of the
day’s voting. By reference to the
figures, it will be seen that three of
the Colson ticket were elected, and
two of the Dunn ticket:
FOB MAYOR.
51. J. Colson 303
D. T. Dunn 290
FOB ALDERMEN.
S. C. Littlefield.... 316
John P. Harvey 316
E. A. Nelson 314
T. O’Connor, Jr 313
J. S. Burns 312
A. T. Putnam 306
C. L. Schlatter, Jr 274
W. F. Doerflinger 250
Total vote cast, 603.
Our Mails.
The suggestions of “Civis” to the
Board of Trade, to be found in this
issue, are well timed indeed. Our
mail facilities certainly call for decid
ed action on the part of some body.
The Board of Trade should at once
take bold of the matter. Our North
ern mails can be brought over the B.
fi A. R. R. just as well as not, and,
not only so, but they could be sent-
over that line as well. The B. & A.
trains going west roach Waycross
ahead of the fast mail going to Savan
nah, anil, going east, reach Waycross
an hour or more ufier the fast moil
should arrive from Savannah. Now
it docs seem to us that if the proper
authorities should tako hold of ihis
matter good could bo accomplished.
Now wo are fully aware that the B. &
A. B. R. has not boon contracted
with to carry said mail, but that can
easily bo arranged by application to
headquarters. There is a power that
can arrange all this, and it will be
douo if proper applicalion bo made.
Now if tho M. & B. R. R. is going to
run thoir day trains through to
Brunswick, as they should, then there
will bo no necessity for this change—
but if not, wo think it is high time
somebody* was looking into the mat-
tef. Meanwhile, wo suggest that the
arrangement with tho B. & A. be en
tered into until tho M. & B. deter
mines upon a policy.
The Viclette Again.
This steamship is again in port for
auother cargo of that 35,000 boles con
tracted to be shipped through our
port. She will take 1,600 bales this
time. This is but an index of wbat
can be done as facilities increase. Mr.
Thos. E. Daniels, representative of
tho Inmans, of Attanta, who are the
shippers, is here, superintending the
shipment. We congratulate our peo
ple on this the opening, so to speak,
of a grand cotton trade through our
port.
Whaler in Port.
The whaling schooner Franklin,
Captain Avery, of New Bedford, ar
rived in port this week with a cargo
of about 4,000 gallons of oil—tho re
sult of a six months’ cruise. This car
go represents obout $4,000. Ibe oil
will bo barrelled here and sent North.
We welcome Captain Avery to our
port, and rejoice with him in his suc
cessful trip. May he continue to
come.
Board ot Trade.
f Mr. Editor: In your last you in
quired after tbe Board ot Trade. The
inquiry 1b very opportune. There art,
as yon say, several matters that
should engross the attention of the
Board. First and foremost, they
shonld take into consideration our
present mail facilities. If tbe M. &
B. R. R. can’t bring in our mails for
ns as it shonld, the Board might se'
enre an arrangement whereby said
mails could, bo brought by way of
Wa|crqsB and the BJ & A. R. R._
Thife is .nothing on earth to prevent
it, but for some decided action on
the part of some such body as a
Board of Trade. Auother very im
portant matter for tbe consideration
of the Board is the reception of those
railroad people who will be here in a
very short while. I moan Messrs.
Wolffe & Co., representing the B. &
A. and t£e Erlangcr system, and the
businesp men of Macon, Atlanta,
Rome, Chattanooga and elsewhere,
who are coming down over the E. T.,
V. & G. to viBit Brunswick and get
acquainted with ofir people.. These
gentlemen mean bnsiness, and I know
of no set of men who could better
meet them and show them around
than our Board of Trade. There are
many other things, Mr. Editor, that
the Board might look after, so stir
them up and let’s have a meeting.
. . Civis.
Hearing Fruit*
Our trade issue has proven a big
advertisement for our city. Hundreds
of people have, through its columns,
learned of Brunswick and her facili
ties, her bnsiness and her people.—
Scores of letters have been received
from all parts of the country, making
inquiry after property offered for sale,
positions, openings for different en
terprises, etc. We know of several
families now making ready to move
here. The truth is that the eyes of
the people of our own State, too,
have been opened by tbat trade is
sue. Mr. Dart, our Representative
in the Legislature, tells ns that num
bers of influential men remarked to
him that they were astonished at tho
figqreB given, and that they bad be
fore no idea of the volume of business
done here. Yes, business men of
Brunswick, our trade issue is bearing
fruit. If yon have any copies left,
send them out where they will do the
most good, and when your supply is
exhausted, remember we have some
left yet. *
Somethin!! New on Newontttlo
Street.
Wo saw on exhibition this week, in
Messrs. Moore & Merrifield’s, a set of
harness manufactured by thorn, which
for beauty, strength and durability
equal any tbat wo have ever examined.
Tho material is splendid and the
workmanship good. Their business,
too, is increasing, as evidenced by the
fact that they contemplate adding an
other story to their establishment.—
Tho preseut frout is to givo plaeo to
something handsomer.
Our Apology.
Last issue of the Advertiser and
Appeal was simply unreadable—tbat
is, tho iusido pages. Wo could not
help ourself. Tho weather was so
cold that tho ink would not flow, and
what shonld bavo been an hour’s work
took four to accomplish. We hope
never to bo caught in a similar plight
again. ^

OBITUARY.
It is onr painful duty to record the
death of onr esteemed townsman, Ld»
Baron Drury, who for twelve years
has been one of the leading business
men of our city, ever aotive in all ef
forts to develop our business, and an
intelligent and zealous representative
of . the English government at this
port ns British Consul. He died
peacefully at 12:30 a. m. on the lltb
inst., after a protracted illness and
much suffering, at the age of sixty-
nine years. Unaccustomed to illness
and pain, be bore them with Christian
resignation, and of him all can say
with propriety, he was honest, tried
and trne.
He was for many years High Sher
iff of St. Johns county, in the Prov
ince of New Brunswick, where his
family have for generations held high
position and exercised influence, and
was for many years engaged in the
cotton compress and forwarding busi
ness, first in Galveston and then in
Norfolk, from which last named city
be moved to our port, fondly hoping
to build up such a business here,
and working against obstacles well
nigh insurmountable, be accomplish
ed this result with partial success,
and was looking earnestly for full and
complete sticcess upon tbe re-organi
zation of tbe B. & A. R. R. company,
and the development of business by
the E. T., V. & G. R. R. company,
when, just on the eve of such re-or
ganization and development, death
claimed him as a victim.
He will be sadly missed by many
friends who had learned ta love him
for bis many attractive qualities of
head and heart, and, by the whole
community for which be has worked
with a faith which knew no wavering.
He leaves a wife, two sons and a
daughter to mourn his loss, who
have, we are assured, tbe heartfelt
sympathy of all onr people.
Why Is it
That the boys will show more at
tention to a new girl than the old
ones they have always known?
That some men think other men’s
wives more amiable than their own ?
That some merchants will insist on
saying that their goods are better
than those of other merchants, who
perhaps buy from tbe same houses
they do ?
Tnat mothers allow their children
to run wild over tbe streets, and then
wonder where they learn so much
badness?
That some people will insist on
making statements that they ought to
kuow other people won't believe sim
ply because tboy know better ?
That men will be so foolish us to
“cut their noses to spite their faces?”
liijit truth travels 60 much slower
than error?
Tbat so few people really practice
what they preach ? •
That Indies will follow the fashions
eveu if it transforms their beautiful
selves into very unloveable objects ?
That some peoplo will spend more
than they niakainan attempt to cut a
swell and imagine other folks can't see,
through their tricks ?
And lastly, why is it that some of
our chronic idlers, who sit around
day after day, crying “hard times,”
don’t go to work and “turn up”
something for themselves, thus en
riching their own pockets, nnd prov
ing themselves worthy tho mothers
tbat bore them ?
Car Factory Figure*.
Has our car factory project died
oat ? Tho following figures from an
exchange causes us to renew the sub
ject, and arge tbat tbe matter lie still
no longer. Tbe investment would
certainly be a paying one.
“Treasurer Watson, of the Carters-
villo, Ga., car factory, tells me that
the factory paid 25 per cent cash div
idend and passed 12 per cent cash to
a reserve fund the first year of its op
eration. It built 600 cars tbat year,
and has a capacity of over 1,200 cars
per annum. As it cleared 37 per cent
net cash its first twelve months, and
is doing better the present year, it
may be pat up as an example of what
money and skill can do in monnfac-
taring in Georgia.”
Madison Square Theatre Company )
fThTs well-known . company "liave
been engaged to play at L'arioso Hall
next Monday and Tuesday nights by
L’arioso Club. By reference to the
advertisement, it will be seen that the
company will play “Esmeralda” on
Monday night and “Hazel Kirke’’ on
Tuesday night. Of the latter play we
need say nothing, as onr people are
thoroughly familiar with it, having
seen it rendered here several months
since by tbe same company. In ref
erence to the other play, an exchange
says:
“When Hazel Kirke was withdrawn
from the stage of the Madison Square
Theatre, after its wonderful run,
many people predicted that its suc
cessor never would win the high
plnce in public favor which tbe great
drama held. It did not, however,
take the critical New York theatre-go
ers long to discover fine dramntio sit
uations and bidden beauties in Es
meralda wbicb made this simple do
mestic story by universal consent tbe
successor nnd rival of Hazel Ivirke.' ”
Ctilhollo Fair Postponed.
The Catholic Fair, which was to
bnvo taken place this week, has been
postponed for a month or *wo. A
want of due preparation for making
tho fair what it ought to be has sug
gested its being deferred to a more
opportune time. Due notice will be
given of it wheu it couios. The pro
ceeds of the fair are for the new
Catholic church, and as tbe building
will go its wav lo enhance tbe appear
ance and worth of our city, it is hoped
tbo public Hpii it of onr citizens will
appear in tlie interest they manifest
in this mailer. Catholic Priest.
