RED LETTER DAY.
BRUNSWICK’S COTTON OUT
LOOK THIS SEASON.
Four New Avenues Opened Up
and the Fleecy Staple to
Come In.
Jlonday was “red letter day” in
Brunswick, for it marked a period
when the chains that held her and
the fetters thut bound her commer-
cial wrists were snapped asunder,
and she takes her stand in the busi
ness arena with new strength and
new energy.
Up to this time cotton seeking ship
ment here has always met with great,
huge barriers, and cotton men had
almost given up in despair, but the
clouds have disappeared and the glo
rious sunlight has come in, for on
Monday last four new avenues were
opened up. Up to this time cotton
from Florida (for Brunswick) had
but one outlet—to Fernandina by
rail, and to Brunswick by water.
The fever in Fernandina put a stop
to that, and we were shut off. The
Central rnilroad bottled us up at Al
bany, refusing to allow her cars
through to Brunswick, thus forcing
everything to Savannah. In fact our
only outlets were the local cotton on
the B. &; W. R. R., and any point on
the Centra! where the powerful East
Tennessee held sway.
The barriers partly vanished when
the A., I*. & L. was opened to Abbe
ville and the steamer line put on to
Brunswick, but last Monday wit
nessed the culmination when the
Plant Investment Company wired
here that Brunswick and Savannah
should stand on the same footing
from all points reached from their
lines. The Central, too, has swung
its ponderous jaw around, and after
1 hurling vile anathemas upon the E.
T.,V. A G., has reached out its hands
to the City by the Sea, and said to
her merchants, “we will ship you cot
ton from an}' point you desire over
our lines, and thence to Brunswick !”
What a change in her position ! A
short time since she put her foot up-
on Brunswick and the B. St W. and
shut out every possibility of inter
course by demanding that every
pound of freight should be transfer
red to B. & W. cars at Albany. But
now the gates arc open, and Bruns
wick, the developing giant of com
mercc, begins to get her rights.
And now, to cap the climax, tele
grams have reached us from Mobile
and New Orleans begging for room
in our steamers to England, which
has been granted, and over our docks
will roll cotton that grew on the very
banks of the Mississippi.
What a change in the outlook !—
One day bottled up—almost—and the
next given communication with the
whole cotton belt from the Atlantic
to the great Mississippi river !
By this new deal a vast amount of
territory is opened up to us, and now
there is nothing to keep us from ship
ping 250,000 or even 300,000 bales
of cotton through this port. Num
bers of steamships are already char
tered, some of the very largest, and
others are being negotiated for.—
This winter will develop sights and
soundB never before known in our
history'.
It may not bo known that the com
press now being put up at the E. T.,
V. <fc G. docks will b<- me ■•!' the most
pSfcerful inexhtem and » ill great
ly facilitate the shipment, of cotton,
as it compresses 1 be o.des to such
small dimensions '-•> render it pos
sible to load a ship to her full capac
ity without the aid of jackscrews.—
We take this opportunity to congrat
ulate our people on what has been
done.
CHARITY.
A beggar died last night—his soul
Went on to God and said:
“I came uncalled, forgive it, Lord,
I died for want of bread.”
Then answered him, the Lord of Heaven,
“Son, how can this ill jog be?
Are not my saints on earth ? and they
Had surely succored thee.”
"The saint*, O Lord,” the beggar said,
"Live holy lives of prayer,
How shall they know of such as me
Wfco perish unaware?
*‘TIvor strive to save our wicked souls,
AivJ fljt them for the sky;
Meanwhile, not having bread to eat,
(Forgive) our bodies die.”
Then the Lord God spoke out of Heaven
In wrath and angiy pain,
Oh! man, for whom my son hath died.
My son hath lived in vain.
He Was an Honest Conductor.
Albany News.
All the railroad men in the city
who could get away from their work
attended the funeral of Mr. T. M
Fleming, yesterday afternoon, and all
felt a keen bereavement over his
death.
“He was a good conductor,” said
one, as the funeral procession moved
away from the Methodist church.
“Yes,” said another, “he never
could have staid with the S., F. St
W. -.8 long as he did if he hadn't
been. They have had a system of
of “spotters” on that idM for years,
but none of them ever Tound aught
against Tom Fleming. He was an
honest man, and did his duty.”
An honest man and did his duty!
What more could any man have
done?
In the death of Mr. Fleming the
S. F. & W. R. R. has lost one of its
tried and most faithful servants, and
the world has lost an exemplary hon
est man.
If he has left his children no more,
T. M. Fleming has certainly left them
the precious legacy of an honest
name.
THE FIRE FIEND
Gets into the B. & W. Shops, and
Destroys the Faint Shop.
About ten o’clock Tuesday night
locomotive whistles blew, their bells
rang, and soon the uproar was in
creased by the solemn peal of the
big city bell, and through it all rose
the cry of fire! fire! fire.
The direction of the blaze told
plainly its location to be at the B. St
W. Railroad shops.
The fire compenies were soon on
the ground, bnt there being no fire
plug in that vicinity no water could

Fostell’s Fosition.
Col. .Postcll, the newly elected
member of the Georgia Legislature
from Glynn, as well as many of his
friends, have been besieged of late, as
is the case with every man elected,
with letters from candidates for the
Judgeships and Solieitorships of the
different circuits, asking his support,
some send stamps for answors, and
some do not, hut all ask for answers.
Those who enclose stamps get an

any comfort, for Col. P. gives all the
same answer. He promises none, but
says lie will wait until lie gets there,

The State Fair.
Dr. H. H. Gary, superintendent of
the needle work and art department
of the Georgia State Fair, was in Sa
vannah Monday soliciting exhibits.
He told the News reporter that he
thought that this year's fair would
surpass any fair that has been held
in Georgia. Extensive preparations
are in progress, and .every effort to
make it a success is being made.
“The outlook is encouraging for
an immense exhibit,” says he. “W.
L. Glessner has thoroughly adver
tised the fair up nbrth and President
Northern has been working the mat
ter up in the counties. They are
both encouraged over tbeir success,
and lorik for a display and attendance
that Georgia has never witnessed be
fore at a fair.’’
I have been canvassing tne towns
and cities in the State for the past
few weeks,” said Dr. Cary “and I
find that everybody is alive and look

to possession of a box of valuable
manuscripts, some of them unpub

received many letters from the lend

the matter. These gentlemen are all
anxious to get possesion of—or even
get a peep at—the documents in
question. But Mr. Adams is as yet
undecided ns to what he will do with
these papers. It is not improbable
that lie will shortly take atrip north
