BRUNSWICK, - GEORGIA
SATURDAY MORSINO. SEPTEMBER 8,1885.
Georgia Judges will still be elected
by t be Legislature. Some people
want the Governor to appoint them,
others think the proper plan is a
popular election by tbo people, but
the Legislature tli'Might otherwise.
Cholera still slays its victims in
Spain by tbe thousands. There were,
in one day this week, 3,833 new cases
and 1,248 deaths. This is a slight
diminution on former- reports. Tbe
scourge haa gotten into Italy through
a family from Marseilles. Four
deaths have occurred.

Either tbe facilities for getting in
formation are greater this year than
former years, or else there has been
a greater amount of electricity run
ning at large than formerly, for tbe
dailies of the country team with casu
alties from lightning. More men and
stock have been killed and more
bnildiogs struck than we ever rend of
before.
Col. Thos. P. Stovall, U. S. Com
missioner of American exhibits at the
Loudon Exposition ir 188G, is putting
forth vigorous efforts to have this
country shown up in her true light.—
Among the chief features will be our
manufacturing appliances, which are
Mill to far excel those of all European
nations. The Yankee's inventive ge-
nina is hard to turn down 1 '
While out hunting Monday, Maxey
Dell, shot and killed two foxes about
a mile uortb of Gnincsvillo, Florida.
While removing the skin from one of
them he discovered a chain around its
neck, deeply imbedded in the flesh,
ttie akin having grown np perfectly
on the outside. It is supposed by
Mr. Dell that Ibe fox was a pet while
young and escaped with the collar
chain on ita neck. The-animal wae
apparently un old one, and it has
doubtless worn the hidden cullnr for
many years, as the skin had mads u
solid, unacurred growth with the
chain imbedded in the flesh.
Mr. Cleveland has appointed so
far 524 new postmasters since March
4th. Besides these, 0,309 fourth
class postmasters have been appoint
ed. Them ure 1808 more of the
former and 42,112 more of the latter.
At tbe above rate rate, which some
editors call “not slow," Mr. Cleveland
will just finish up bis job in the be
ginning of the third yonr of his reign,
and the other appointments will be
finished in tbe fourth year. How nn-
like tho manner Col. Furrow says the
Republicans will undo the work three
and a half years hence. He thinks
the whole of it might have been done
before this, nod he is one to be be
headed. Of the above appointments
Georgia comes in for a share of 10
first class and 131 fourth-class post
masters.
List to the words of wisdom(?) by
tho celebrated Foraker, who wants
to be Governor of Ohio. This is part
of bis speech in opening the cam
paign. Hear him:
“If tbe colored Republicans of the
Soath had beon allowed to vote as
they desired, and bad their ballots
been counted ns oust, there would
have been only 113 votes in tbe elec
toral college from the South for Mr.
Cleveland, and tbero would have been
from their forty votes for J. G.
Blaine, more than enough to bnve
fleeter' him, with the States of New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana egaiust him. But thesocol-
ored Republicans were not allowed so
to vote.”
For the information ot Mr. Fora-
ker and his ilk, we will state that
editor Walcott, of Massachusetts, a
Republican, came South lust winter,
and from the time he crossed tho
Mason and Dixon lino be hunted
assiduously for a single negro who
had been intimidated in the least,
and be informed us on his arrival
here that he bad utterly failed to tiud
one, though he had seatched faith
fully. He and bis friends, he
said, all believed the negro had been
intimidated. This gives the lie to Mr.
Foraker s statement.
Douglasville, Ga., Ang. 28,1885.
Eoitom liranm w Aram.:—
Referring to my last—18th inst—
I beg to resame the subject, that is,
this place, in a climatic view. For
every 300 feet additional altitude a
place has there will be a lowering of
one degree, (Fab.) in tbo tempera
ture of that place; so that tbe tem
peratare of a place 1,200 feet in alti
tuJo will be four degrees lower than
that of our 16 feet above tbe sea level.
Sacb are tbe relativo altitudes of
Douglasville and Brunswick. Again
there is a marked change in climates
as latitude iuoreases. Scientists say
that in the temperate zone there is
lowering temperature of about two
degrees for each degree of latitude as
you proceed north. As this place is
three degrees north of Brunswick
there is for this reason an additional
lowering in the temperature of this
climate compared to tbe southern
coast of Georgia of six degrees—a cli
matic difference of about tea degrees
from both of these causes, other
things being equal._ But ns tbe reader
is aware there are several extrnordi
uary causes besides altitude nud lati
tude that have a tendency to affect
this difference of temperature very
materially—-such, for instance, as to
pography, raiufall, winds, breezes, na
ture of soil, contiguity to the sea or
mountain*, and these it is inexpedi
ent to discuss ut present Suffice it
to sny that in our humble opinion—
and we have studied it for several
weeks closely—no .place in Georgia
presents more claims to the consider
ation of the South Georgian in quest
of health in summer, pure nir, cold
water, and nil other essential elements
to recuperate tbe well-worn human
machinery, than does Tallapoosa
Ridge in west Georgia, und no par
ticular place presents more paramount
clai-ns than Douglasville, “the
town on the crest.” We have beeu
thus particular about a section of the
State, probably in which nine-tenths
of onr readers tuke no particalur in
terest, in drder to disabuse the pub
lic mind as to its resources and cli
matic advantages. From observa
tions reported to the Smitlisoniun
Institute we liud that on the temper
ature map the mean nnuunl tempera
ture (of a range from 52 to'6G degrees
Full.) on a line running through
Gainesville, Clarksville, Douglasville
and Marietta of this State corres
pond with central Ohio, Indiana, Il
linois, upper Missouri, and lower Ne
braska. These are certainly cogent
reasons why this port of Georgia is
decidedly desirable for summer resi
dence. The question then arises—
and a pertinent one, too—“How are
the winters? Two extracts from that
valnble little volume entitled “Geor
gia,’’ whbli should be in the hands of
every man, a regular multumin parvo,
written by the late Dr. T. P. Janes,
grieiiltnral commissioner of Geor-
tthicli we give below, are perti
nent uud completely answer this ques
tion:
“It •'Hist bo remembered nil tbe
while i„at tbe wiuter climate in Geor
gia is warmer than farther North, and
tbe summer range is lower to com
pensate the difference in length of
days increasing the summer range in
the more Northern latitudes referred
to.” “The distributioa of heat is
more important than the mean an
nual temperature. Tbe elements so
subtle and working on so grand a
scale do not, however, produce such
diversities in tho climate of Georgia
us they do at the North. The ex
treme range is nearer tbe mean in
Georgia and tbe isotherm of winter
temperature of tbis latitude passes ou
the Eastern continent through Spain,
Italy, Greece, Palestine, Jerusalem,
the most delightful climate in the
world." R. J. M.
an acre, belongs to coast Georgia,
Glynn county, St. Simons Island, for
instance. Dr. Wbilty, of Douglas-
ville, has made an innovation. He
bse cne of six acres, which has proven
a grand success.
Mr. John Morris, living a mile
from Douglasville, brought in for
sale a wagon load of yam potatoes
last Thursday, many weighing 3| lbs.
So friend Feckbam, of St. Simons
light, onr boss potato man, will have
to come again to get ahead of tbe
Donglas farmers.
The Georgia Pacific is probably the
best ballasted road in the South.
Every foot—180 miles—from Birming
ham to Atlanta is ballasted by well
broken fiiut and granite. This is a
part of tbe short line from New York
to New Orleans, stopping only at im
portant points.
SENATE RAILROAD HILL.
The Seattle Railroad Committee, af
ter much labor and research, have
agreed apon a bill which, upon peru
sal, seems to meet tbe necessities of
tbe case, both in behalf of the people
and tbe railroads. All the former
asks is to be protected from oppres
sion by the monopolies, and the hit
ter only beg that their very existence
shall not be squeezed out ef them, hut
that they be allowed a fair compensa
tion for the use of the capital invest
ed. The bill, as we iiuders'nnd it,
gives to railroads the right to make
their own schedule of rates, which
rates lire to be just and reasonable.—
Such schedules are to be published
for two weeks in the leading cities of
the State, and a copy is to posted con
spicuously at every station ou the re
spective roads. If tiie roads shall
make other than just hiu! reasonable
rates for the transportation of freight
or passengers, or hall make unjust
discriminations ns to either, the right
of appeal to the Commission will lie
‘any person, community, town,
city or corporation affected thereby.”
Should the decision of the matter be
unsatisfactory to either party, nn ap
peal is allowed I lie dissatisfied party
to the Superior Court, to bo decided
under the regulations nfi.-cting equity
cases lu said courts. Appeal from the
Superior Court to the Supreme Court
will lie us iu other cases, except that
cases arising under this bill have
precedence of all other cases.
This bill, it seems to us, will be fair
and just to all parties concerned, and
work no hardship to anv one. Its
passage will .liiuhtlesH give great. Sat
isfaction both to tile railroads and tin-
people.

Oil from Nature’s Wells.
The skiu ou tbe head is kept soft
and flexible by a secretion from the
oil glands. When these are clogged
the hair dries nad falls off. Parker’s
Hair Balsam renews their action, re
stores the original color to the hair,
and makes it soft and glossy. It also
eradicates dandruff. Not greasy, not
a dye, deliciously perfumed. Delight
ful for a lady's toilet table. The best
of dressings. Preferable to all simi
lar articles because of its superior
cleanliness and purity.
