IPf Sdicutiw-Swexl Rosendale post office in Camden county has been discontinued. The quarantine season will close on the first of November at Darien. The Egmont continues to carry full lists of passengers to and from St. Simons over its double daily line. Now comes the saddening report that coftce is on the up grade. We can just make ours a little weake* and overcome that gouge. The next term of the Superior Court of McIntosh county convenes on Monday’ Nov. 26th, next. The criminal docket as usual, will be large, says the Gazette. Messrs. E. F. Coney and Bill Par ker will open soon still another coal yard, and do their share in keeping the citizens of i his city warm. That will certainly be commendable in them. The steamer Caledonia has left a small order with Baumgartner Bros, to be filled before she sails. The or der is for 1,500 pounds of beef. She is a big ship, and has lots of people on her. Wayne Superior Court this week was a short session, very little busi ness being transacted. Only’ crimi nal business was conviction of one assault and battery case. The lynching of Lewis Edwards relieved the court of considerable work. Messrs Kaiser Bros, are seriously contemplating raising their two stores another story, for the accomodation qf their increasing business, in pref erence to placing another story on Advertiser-Appeal building. This will make a great improvement in the Kaiser stores. Dr. E. H. Wright, of Camden county, a physician of Some exper ience, has moved to the city, nnd will on Saturday open a drug store on F street, near the East Tennessee track. This will be of great convenience to the denizens of that thickly settled portion of the city, and the new ven ture will doubtless meet with a hear ty support. A new feature in tho Y. M. C. A. gymnasium is a machine to test the lifting powers of the young athlete. It was quite popular Monday night, several of the boys making good rec ords. This appliance iB the property of Mr. C. B. Lloyd, who 1ms kindly loaned it to the Association. The editor of the l’ana, Illinois, Gazette advertises that he wants 50 bushels of corn and 75 bushels of oats on subscription, and in order to get them will allow 30e. for corn and 25c. for oats. The Advertiser-Ap- pcal would be glad to take out its whole subscription list in corn und oats at those prices. The Steamship San Antonio brought down among other freight, a supply of oil barrel-staves, etc., for the whaling schooner Franklin, Capt. Avery. So we may very naturally conclude that that craft will soon put in her appearance in these wa ters laden with oil,whale bone,whale’s teeth, etc. The experience of parties owning »bby buildings on the corner and Mansfield streets should son to those now building in ae locality. It is poor policy have to pump out basements. Would it not bo better to fill these in before hand and thus avoid the other horn of thedilemna. Mayor Dunn has been invited to make a speech in the fair grounds at Macon during the fair. As a matter of course he will accept, for of all themes on earth the nearest to his heart Btrings, we would mention fairs as the very nearest. He could make a speech on that line anywhere, at any time, and under any circum stances. The Brunswick Morning News and the Brunswick correspondent of the Savannah News have funny ideas of the value of cars. They estimate Mr. Haines’ eoach all the way from 120.000 to #30,000. and the passen ger coai li at #10,000. Lower your sights, gentlemen, and read the Ad vERTisER-ArPEAL’s figures. Mr. Otto Johannesen has effected charters of the Norwegian barks Kate Carnie, for Rotterdam, and Sva- ien, for Bristol, to load with naval stores for Messrs. C. Downing, Jr., &Co.,at following rates: Rosin, 3s 6d; spirits turpentine 4s fid; 1,500 barrels turpentine guaranteed. These are the best rates paid for years. Freights are plentiful but tonnage is scarce. The Good Book says “agree with thine adversary quickly.” We would suggest to the Central Railroad that the above passage will apply to it in the matter now pending between that road and the East Tennessee road.— If the latter builds its line from Eastman into Savannah, and puts on a line of steamers at that port, the Central will have her hands even full, und Savannah will sit by and laugh to see her squirm. Steamer City of Brunswick is be ing most thoroughly refitted up and painted. She will leave in a few days for Savannah to have her bottom cleaned. She will be in apple pie order for the winter travel. By the way this going to Savannah to have her bottom cleaned brings up afresh the great need for ship’s ways of our own. Strange no one will take hold of this matter and push it—there is big money in it. A lot of boys visited Mr. T. G. Clark’s cane patch near the city yes terday, but were most terribly dis turbed when Mr. Clark's son com menced a fusiladc on the patch with his pistol. Some of the boys were recognized, but we won’t give their names. Boys, don’t do that again or the Captain may interview you next time nnd get you before the Grand Jury. Go to church next Sun day and thus keep out of such scrapes. Lyuch Law. Wo chronicle to-day‘another sad case of lynch law. A special from Jesup announces the killing of Lewis Edwards Sunday night by a mob of masked men. This action no doubt was called forth by the results of the new trial of Horace Bee at Baxley last week. Bee was sentenced to be hung on the first trial, but a new tri al was granted and he was turned loose. The people of Jesup thought they would take no such risk, so took the law in their own hands. When we talk with the people about these things they say the courts nnd the lawyers are to blame for such laxity in the punishment of crime as to call for such notion of the people. When we speak with the legal fraternity they answer “the fault is not ours, but the people’s— they lack the nerve to say n man is deserving of death when the evidence goes to show that he is.’’ May it not be true that the sin lies at the door of both sides ? One thing is sure—this thing is getting too common, and it is high time wo were calling a halt. Who will point out the cause? Our columns are open. THE COTTON OUTLOOK. We start out with the announce ment that the port of Brunswick will ship this season two hundred thou sand bales of cotton. This estimate is by conservative men—not visionary ones. We have gone over the ground ourselves, and feel sure the estimate is not over drawn. The Compress Company figure on at least 100,000, nnd surely the other shippers combined will handle ns much more. These figures are truly flattering. 40,000 bales last winter was consid ered unprecedented—and so it was. And working on that basis we fig ured for 100, thought if w we would we can n that nmo even 2 figure. TWO TRAGEDIES. A MURDER AND A LYNCHING ON SUCCESSIVE NIGHTS. Bob Smith’s Murderer Riddled with Bullets nt Jesup, and a Shull Crushed with a l'es- tle at Sterling. JESUP’S LYNCHING. SdccIaI to Advertiser- Appeal. Jesup, Ga., Oct. 15.—Last night a crowd of twenty or more armed and masked men surrounded the jail at this place, and. overpowering the guard, shot and instantly killed Lew is Edwards, who was convicttd ayear ago for tho murder of R. J. Smith, and was awaiting a new trial nt this term of the court. Nothing is known as to who the men were. Edwards killed Smith in an alter cation near the depot here, nnd was convicted with a recommendation to mercy, which fixed his penalty at imprisonment for life. Public senti ment was terribly against him, and he was removed to Savannah jail for safe keeping. A new trial was in the meantime granted, and Edwards brought here to stand that trial at this term of Wayne Superior Court. Military Notes. The boys all say that Capt. Thom as is looming up into an excellent commander. He means business from the very handle. Dr. Hugh Burford, although only an exempt member of the Light Horse Guards attends every meeting and drill, nnd has ordered both the dress and fatigue suits. He was elected Surgeon of the Company last night, n deserved compliment. The Brunswick Riflemen will cer tainly go to Columbus, Ga., to the Exposition. They will “illustrate” Brunswick. The Atlantic Band have perfected arrangements and will attend the Exposition—part of their time hav ing been engaged by the city of Co lumbus. They will go in company with the Riflemen. The Brunswick Riflemen selected TWO PICTURES. Look on this and then on that, Bnd Note the Cause. THE FIRST PICTURE. Brunswick—fair, beautiful Bruns wick—with hrir streets filled with ac tivity, herdocks groaning beneath the weight of cotton, naval stores and other merchandise, her river and harbor studded with the masts of many vessels, her railroads working to their utmost to furnish transpor tation for the freights that offer, her business houses filled with the bustle of commerce, her hotels and boarding houses crowded with visi tors who flock to enjoy her balmy air and sunny skies, her people content ed and happy, and their coffers heavy with lucre. TIIE SECOND PICTURE. Brunswick—fair, beautiful Bruns- their new uniforms this week, per- wick — her sunshines as bright as MANSLAUGHTER NEAR STER LING STATION. News reached here Sunday of the killing of one negro by another last Saturday night near Sterling Station John Johnson was drunk andquar- elsom, and had during the day had threatened John Willard’s life. Wil lard endeavored to evade him, but Johnson followed him up, and abus ing him all the time, and finally hit him with a piece of wood. Willard seized a pestle and dealt him a blow on the head, which resulted in his death yesterday afternoon. Willard was regarded as a ^peace able, quiet man, while Johnson was quite to'tfye contrary, and it is said that lie. nnd to leave North Carolina for some offense committed there. Both men worked for Boylc’ifc Ever ett. Johnson left Judge Wright’s store at 8:30 o’clock and was sober at that time. The killing took place about seventy-live yards from Thomp son’s store. Johnson commenced quareling with Willard before they left tho. woods, ami said he would kill him that night. Ntcanisliips .Scarce. The cotton men say that steamers at this stage of the game arc quite scarce and hard to get at reasonable figures. Very few are offering now. The outlook later on, however, is much better. There seems to be al ways something to worry about in this life to keep us from carrying out ^r cherished schemes. A Notable Change. Common people have “bad colds” —the “upper tens” have “catarrh” and “hay fever.” Col. Posted in formed us this mornins that during his canvass for the Legislature he had a “fearful bad cold,” but that immediately upon his election it took on a new phase and is now genuine “hay fever.” Brunswick’s Needs. Brunswick’s needs arc many—ve ry many. It would take a whole page to tell of all we would like to sec carried out here, but if we were call ed upon to name the four greatest we would write them— SEWERAGE, More ScnooL Buildixgs, Marl'd, Council Chamber, Emphasizing them in exactly the san e order in which they come. fastest armored cruiser in the said to be the German ves tons and 5,400 iel to Wilholm- speed of 25 feet beauties. The coats will be very dark blue, bound and trimmed in black with gilt buttons. The pants will be a lighter shade of blue with black stripe. These uniforms are contracted for by M. C. Li Ay A Co., of Cincin nati, who have guaranteed to furnish them by November 15. The Company will leave for Colum bus thirty strong on the 10th by spe cial train. An effort is being made to have them stop over in Macon and be “re freshed.” They will accept if the proper schedule can be arranged. «.•••- Married. Married, last evening, at the resi dence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac B. Ferguson, Rev. E. Z. F. Golden officiating, Mr. W. C. Ken drick, of Ty Ty, and Miss M. E. Fer guson, of Brunswick. The ceremony was witnesssed only by a few intimate friends of the con tracting parties as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Jas. O’Connor, Mrs. Tom O’Connor, Sr., Mr. and Mrs. Tom O’Connor, Jr., Misses Katie, Mamie, Annie and Helen O’Connor, Mr. and Mrs. T. fi. Ferguson, Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Bailey, Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Bailey, C. M. Miller, and T. G. Ferguson, of Savannah, a brother of the bride. The young couple left on the B. & W. train this morning for Ty Ty, the home of the groom. Tho congratulations of many friends follow them, the sentiments of whotnar e voiced when we extend earnest wishes of a long and prosper ous life.

You were anxious to dispose of it for for anything you could get yesterday.” Editor—“Yesterday, to be sure. But this morning I learned that four cir cuses would visit Boomopolis this summer, and I’ll huve you know, sir this office always gets four compli mentary tickets from each show. No sir, the paper is not for sale at any price. Why, man alive, a wo man with one of tbeshowseats glass —actually eats it.” What the people most desire in the way of postal benefits just now is not one cent letter rate, but more rapid and more frequent mails. Posmaster-General Dickinson is giv ing these improvements faster than they ever (fame before. One cent postage will come naturally in the order of time, and it is not far dis tant, but there are other good things that will and should precede it.

And why these two pictures? Ami what the agency that can turn the first into the second? The answer is easy—an epidemic of yellow fever— which Brunswick has so narrowly es caped this year. We say “narrow ly,” for indeed it has been. We have had a hot bed of this terrible disease within easy reach of us, and we be lieve and affirm with all seriousness that its blighting breath would have surely made the first picture become the second had we been less strict in our precautions for its exclusion. Absolute quarantine is the only pre ventive under circumstances such ns we are now passing through, and those two words we wish to impress upon our people ns the watchword for the future. Of course we do not wish to be un derstood as advocating the shutting of ourselves from the balance of the world every season, but when the en emy appears in dangerous proximity, shut and seal the gate of intercourse. Brunswick can now feel reasonably sure ofher safety for this year, and with heartiness do we extend our congratulations to our people, and in their name thank the officials and employes who have so faithfully done their duty, urging, them to be vigi lant yet a little longer, lest at the last moment we lose all we have gained. Intelligent negroes will find some very interesting food for reflection in this campaign. Not long a negro procession was pelted with stones in the streets of New York by republi can bullies. Last week a young ne gro named Joseph Pearl attempted to make a speech at Adrion, Mich., for the democratic nominees. He was driven from the platform by a set of republican “toughs” who hurl ed bricks and aged eggs at him. While the negroes of the north and west arc subjected to such outrages for daring to speak their honest views they hold all kinds of meet ings unmolested throughout the south. The democrats of Charles- have nominated a negro on their leg islative ticket. Gen. Sherman would probably like to burn Charleston as he burned Atlanta and Columbia. The past summer was the wettest that England has experienced since 1879, and the coolest since 1S00 In most parts of the country the sun has not shone more than an average of four to four and one-half hours per day instead of a possible four teen or fifteen.
