The question of water nnd gas is a
big one, and should engross the
minds of tbe best talent of our city
hence our snggestiou in this issue of
a joint meeting of Council, tbe con
tractors and a committee of citizens.
We don’t think that an interchange
of ideas can do nny harm, and may
result in good. Our water supply is
a big bonanza, indeed, and should be
mauipulated as to do tbe most good
for all concerned. Let us have the
conference by all means, nnd let ns see
to it rates for both nre fixed definitely,
and that both sides are protected in
their rights.
Our readers will notice elsewhere

Toombs, Stephens and Cobb, are now
trained others who may take tbe
places of these great men. Nowhere
is more thorough work beiDg doDe.
So say Col. John Screven, Col. L. F.'
Livingston, Chancellor Mell nnd oth
ers. The college had the past year
420 pupils, coming from all sections
of Georgia, and from other States.
That sturdy potriot, fearless warrior,

bus just beau made President. This
college is to be commended to all,
especially to those of Blender menus,
wishing to obtain an education that
will fit them for the duties of life.

Something New.
Messrs. Harvey k Son have adopted
a new and unique system of keeping
accounts with their customers. They
furnish to each regular customer a
book contrining $6, $10 or $25 of
printed coupons or tickets, with stubs.
Whenever a pnrebuse is rnUde these
coupons are given, which show to tbe
firm tbe amount of goods sold, whilst
the stubs show to the purchaser tbe
amount purchased. The book of cou
pons is all that is charged up agaiust
the customer, thus getting rid of a
great deal of book-keepiog, and doing
away with pass-books and errors. We
should think the system would work
like a charm.
Sunsiroke.
Mr. Jobu \V. Wood, agent of tbe
B. k W. R. It., received a sunstroke
last Wednesday that prostrated him
delirious. Medical aid was called
for iu haste. At this writing be is
improving. The great wonder to as
is that others whode business calls
them on onr docks, are not served in
tiiuilur manner. Onr naval store
I store employes, for instance.
Now, that oar wells are grand suc-
cessess, and their fame is beiug
spread abroad, and the world has
come to accept the fact that Bruns
wick bas the finest artesian well
in America, strange bow many
people are seeking to arrogate
to themselves the glory of being tbe
“moving spirit”—the one who “first
Agitated the question.” Now, we pro'
pos» giving some facts that will for
ever clear np this subject.
In the spring of 1882—long before
some people who claim the glory ever
saw Branswick—Dr. Frank Gale, of
this city, commenced agitating the
question. (Albauy bad just succeeded
in securing water.) So urgent was
he and so persistent in his efforts tkat
many people looked upon him as a
crank on the subject of artesian wa
ter; but be continued to talk nnd to
work, and later on raised a subscrip
tion of $1,000 with a guarantee of
$2,000 if necessary. Meanwhile as
early as July, 1882, we find in the
Advertiser and Appeal several arti
cles on this subject going to work up
the. minds of the people to the end of
our getting an artesian well—among
them a long interview with Capt. S.
R. Weston, ot Albany, about the cost
of their well, etc.
In August 2Gth, 1882, a long arti
cle appeared discussing the action
of the city Council on this subject,
showing even as far back as that, tbe
Council was moving in the matter.
Iu October, 1882, we. published a
lengthy article, concluding with tbe
following summary:
“We may safely conclude that
well can be bored in onr city, and
with a capacity equal to our demands
—the supplying of onr fire wells and
tbe use of our citizens. It would cer
tainly be a fercat improvement over
present methods, and thongh the
cost would necessarily be heavy, tbe
gain would be great. We urge a
cautious examination of the matter,
with a view to making the attempt.
Our citizens should give the matter
grave consideration, nnd bo prepared
to act intelligently, should an oppor
tunity present itself.’’
On December 2d, 1882, we used
the following language: “What we
would like to see is a strewn of life-
giving fluid, clear, ns crystal, rising
thirty feet high, iu one of our streets,
suppling drink for man and beast,
and furnishing .power for various en
terprises.’’
In tbe Advertiser and Appeal of
November 23,1885, wo find tbe fol
lowing qnerry:
“If wo can succeed iD getting such
a well of water here ns Albany's arte-
siun well has proven to be, who car
estimate the value to onr city ?”
December 23d, 1882, we said in a
local:
“We would like to know where the
artesian well is to be located”—
showing that tbe matter of location
was even then being discussed.
With tbe above facts staring us in
tbe face.it is the height of folly for
some people to claim to be the moving
spirit in getting up the artesian well
boom, wheD, in truth, they only en
tered the field a year and a half later.
Don't let ns fail to give “honor where
honor is due.” To Dr. Frank Gale
is due tbe credit of first moving the
artesian waters of Brunswick. Later
on he bad the hearty support of scoreB
of others, among them the Mayor
nnd Council, who had the nerve a lit
tle over n year ago to sign tba con
tract (bat blessed our city with two
elegaut wells, one flowing GO aud the
other 400 gallons per minute.
Tiro Daoscrou* Seaton*,
Spriug nnd fall are times when so
many people get sick. Thectianges
in the weather are severe on feeble
persons, and even those naturally
strong are apt, us they say, “to be
feeling miseruble.” Then tbey are
just in condition to be struck down
witb some kind of fever. A bottle or
tw,o of Farker’s Touic will invigorate
the digestion, put the liver, kidneys
aud blood in perfect order, and pre-
Gaaand Water, Continued.
Last week we gave a Synopsis of
what Messrs. Jeter and Boardman bad
offered tbe city.in the way of gas and
water contract. Tbe Council, at its
meeting this week, did not accept the
proposition offered, but made some
amendments. Tbe contract, thus
changed, has been sent on tp these
gentlemen for their acceptance and
approval. Tbe amendments, as w&
learn them from Clerk and Treasurer
J. F. NelsoD, are substantially these:
First, that there shull be five drink
ing fountains open to tbe public in-"
stead of tbree, one at each of the wells
and tbree others located on Union
street, or as far back from tbe busi
ness portion of the city av the pipes
of the company may run.
Second, that tbe lamps nnd hy
drants or water plugs shall be so ar
ranged that tbey will be located at in
tersection ol streets.
Third, that there shall be at least
two miles of water pipes put down,
nnd enough gas pipes to insure seven
ty-five lamps not nearer than 200 feet
apart.
Whether Messrs. Jeter and Board-
man will accept the above changes or
not, remains to be seen.
Io talking around witb onr people,
we observe a very varied difference of
opinion touching the matter. Some f
people think twenty years too long
time to give these people the monop
oly; others think $3,000 too much
money to'pay; some think tbe city|
should put down the piping and fur-
Di'Bh every citizen with water io bis
house free of charge; some think tbe
city is making a bad trade; others
think it reasonable enough; some
want to bang the Council in effigy,
aud some want to try ou an injunc
tion.
Io the meanwhile, tbo Mayor and
Council are going on quietly, doing
what in their judgment is for the best
interest of tbe city. Tbey clsim that
these terms are about us reasonable
we could expect, owing to tbe
sparseness*of our population, and the
inability of the company to secure
many private subscribers for either 4
gas or water, and. also that tbe en
hanced value of property and the les
sening of insurance will more than
compensate onr citizens for this np-^
patently high price.
There are two sides to this ques
tion, and both should be considered
and a happy adjustment reached. By
way of throwing oil on tbe troubled
wuters, we would suggest that before
final action is taken and tbe docu
ments signed, there be a conference
of Council, tbe contractors, and a
committee of citizens appointed by
Hh Honor, tbe Mayor, at which all
points of difference shall be discussed
and adjusted. This is a big under
taking, and wo should look well be
fore we take the step.
Whilst on this subject, it would be
well for Council to determine wbat
thej' are going to do with waste wa
ter. In every household where a wu-
ter pipe is placed, there must neces
sarily be a druiD or outlet, else the
water would not serve the purposes 0
for which it is intended nnd desired.
This matter of draiunge, I ben, should
he considered ut once nnd met
promptly. We throw ont these sug
gestions, hoping to arrive at a proper
solution of onr vexed questions—gas
and water.
