BRUNSWICK An Interview With Maj. Degnon, P Chief Engineer-Notes by the Way. A* yet our leaders do not fully comprehend the extent of the work going on at South Brunswick, or rather on the line of road. Some, too, have looked on this South Brunswick scheme as deleterious to Brunswick —calculated to pull down our fair city. The Advertised takes a different view of the case entirely, and looks with favor on the enterprise—just as we do St. Simons’ mills, hotel, etc., Crlspen Island and its gigantic enter prise, Jekyl Itlamfaml its club house, Pcllicanville and its compress. We . consider them all adjuncts to our city. Every dollar spent at these places but tends to build up Brunswick. Jersey City has never hurt New York, and neither will South Brunswick hurt Brunswick. The banks are here, and • tho business will be done here, or rather through here. When these places get big enough to need these things, Brunswick proper will have so grown that she will need still more >of them. So much, then, for our feelings to wards South Brunswick os an enemy to us. She is not, and never will be. Heating Major Degnon, Chief En gineer of the new railroad, this morn ing, wo quietly took him aside and tojd him to consider himself under arrest until we could apply our news augur. He submitted patiently to the infliction. “Now, Major, tell us first and fore most, who are tho real men who have worked up this railroad enterprise, and tell Us whother they mean busi- r - ness.", M This naturally amused the Major, "*fothiuk wo did hot know what sort of men were the moving spirits. Said '/he: ! “The three men who have fathered this enterprise, and to whom the ;rcatest praise is due, are President A L Holly, Treasurer John Sloanc itary E. P. Kennard. These *Jb business all over. They are t'^ig this road to run it—not for •Ikejnont.” “Sow many miles of track have • Wald now, atid where did you be lt J''jifthe work ■»' “Wo began at Waynesvillc, where our road touches the B. & W. By to morrow night we will have 5 miles of track laid, and liy October 1st we will bo across College creek trestle.” “When will you give, us our first ride, and low many miles will you ride us?” “October 15th, we will ride you from South Brunswick to Waynes- - villa—10 miles, ,for as soon as we pass College creak wo shall then lay ■• -track ut the rate of one mile a day, with anything like good weather.” Well, now Major when -you have ‘finished the line from Waynesville to :South Brunswick, what then?” “Going right on for Cordble—there -will be no ‘cessation of hostilities’ at all—tho work will go right, forward as fast as possible and ere long we hope to have the opportunity of tak log you ’over our tsntlre line from , South Brunswick to Cordelc, where we connect with other -roads. Yes, Mr. Editor, you can safely tell your people that South Brunswick will soon have a railroad to Cordele sec ond to none in the land, and that the projectors of the scheme are'not en emies to Brunswiok as some of your people may think, but on the contra ry will only tend to' build up your magnificent harbor by increasing its volume of business. This harbor is bound to do a magnificat business with three railroads pouring its trcasurcsinto it and steamship lines . to carry on its commerce, our harbor will dp a grand business* and Bruns wick and South Brunswick will enjoy the rich rewards. Let us all pull to gether, for what helps one can’t keep from helping tho other, for it all means the harbor of Branawick. Streets Closed. For years past there has been a continual squabble about opening certain streets in New Town. From the gas house eastward there is a belt of property through there known as tho “academy range” that was cut up originally into live acre blocks, if we mistake not. They used to be plant ed years ago, but of into houses have sprung up here and there on them until now there arc quite a number of residences there, and of late there has been considerable complaint be cause parties hwning these lots have put fences around them, thus cut ting off exit from tho city. As we understand it there aro only two streets opened up out there in that part of town. This matter has grown to lie a nu isance and something should lie done about it. Either these people have no right to close those streets or else they do have. If they have not, then the powers that be should‘knock down those fences and punish the offenders. But if they have, then tile city's duty is also clear.- Com promise the matter witli the lot owners on the best terms possible or else condemn the ground and arbi trnt*the cost. This matter should no longer remain in doubt. If the matter has to go to court let it go there und be settled forthwith, for wo can’t afford as a town to have any more closed blocks than possible. Wo want everything clear, both titles to lots and to streets. A ease of this kind came up a year or two ago with Dr. Gulo, which wns amicably settled, and we tliiuk these could lie. or one thing, we arc cer tain—dirt will never be uny cheaper in that end of town than it is to-day, hcncc if there is any money consid eration the sooue)-it is settled the better.

The busiest place we have seen to day is the steamship dock of the Mallory line, for the steamer Sun An tonio was in, and just three days late, not having left New York until Sun day. The grocery and Iruit merchants were on hand with their drays get ting out-their delayed and mucli- needed freights, and the railroad men were as busy as beavers transferring interior freights, so as to give dis patch to same, and Ageat Fuller und his assistants were in a strain to keep track of all these freights, so that none would be lost, and each man get his as soon ns possible.

McClure had quite an experience this morning about 4:30 o’clock. He was quietly sleeping in a front room at Mrs. Oakley’s board ing house at that hour, when he awoke and sa« standing in his room a white man, about 5 feet 11 inches high, dark eyes and black mustache, and wearing a brmvn hat, light pants and blue cunt. Mr. McClure’s first thought was tliut a burglar wns in his room, and forthwith took his pistol from under his pillow, and springing to his feet covered the fellow with tho weapon and demanded to know his business there. “Can you tell me whose boarding house this is ?” nsked the chap. But Billy wns not to be thrown off so easily, and demanded what he was doing with his pants, for he hud no ticed by the bright moonlight that his clothes had been disturbed. “Here’s your money. Mister,” said the chap, handing over $0.45 which he had just taken from the pants, “ but don't shoot me for tbq Lord’s sake.” The more Billy threatened to shoot him, the harder the burglar begged, winding up his last appeal with the remark that he “wasn’t a bad man, no how.” Friend McClure having read what the preacher said lie would do if lie found a burglar in bis room, told bis early visitor to go and sin no more, und allowed him to quietly retire. ‘•Why didn’t you take biin to jail?” we nsked. Ob,” said he, “I bad no one to call a policeman for me, and I was in ( my night clothes ; amp you s$e ho had giv en mo back all ho took from me, and I told him to go.” It is a good thing for that burglar that he didn’t fall into the bands of some other parties we know of; ho certainly would have fared different- Mr. MeClurc thinks the chap cither a brick-layer or a painter, judging from the peculiar look of his clothes. He thinks that the police could pick him up very eusily from the descrip tion—says “ his face was a little dished’ and his nose very red.” Stein Block’s tailor made suits can nly lie obtained at Jas. S. Wright’s Evangelistic Meetings. Evangelist M. B. Williams will lie in Brunswick on the 17th of October. He will commence his series of meet ings on the 20th of the same month. Arrangements arc now being made to purchase a large tent capable of seat ing one thousand people. This tent will be placed either oppnsito Lloyd «k Adams’ storo on Newcastle or op posite tbc court bouse on tho same street. Mr. Williams is expected to remain in Brunswick about a mouth.

A S Atlanta, establish a was tho to-day, and ool for Girls, ipt. 18.—Tho bill to lug school for girls al order in the House 'r. Atkinson of Coweta, tho author,.made a strong speech for it. He said there is need for such an educational institution. This has been shown by the hesrtv endorse ment of t&e bill given by the press and people of the State. The system of education that answered before the war will not answer for the new nc cessities of a new civilization. A new condition is npon us. In every town and neighborhood are women who wish to be independent, but there is no place .for them to get such train ing as will fit them for self support. Women from other States that far nish such traihing are coming into Georgia and doing tho work Georgia women should do. In this Stato there are very few fields in which a woman may make a living. How much richer would it Make tho State? Wo would give two hundred girls now only con sumers the'power of earning s living, Now*is tho time to get your school supplies at II. T. Dunn’s., t-ocll. Sam Jones Overworked Rome, Ua., Sept. 18,—It has been reported hero that Rev. Srfm Jones could not. lire twelve months, und his friends have been alarmed. Dr. J. B. Holmes, President of the Geor gia Medical Association, was culled in consultation on Sunday, last and made an examination. He reports the noted evangelist ns much over worked, and directed him to take several weeks rest. He says that after tbla he. thinks Mr. Jones’ health will be restore;!. Dr. Holmes is au thority apd his opinion -will have much weight. The Crosstie Business.. “Well, neighbor White what about crosstics to-day.” “Crossties arc all right, but trans portation is slow,” . Thus spoke Mr. G. W. White this morning, as he stood waiting to shove 2,000 crossties in tho hold of the steamship San Antonio for his firm, Conquest A Son. “Freights arc very higli and trans portation short. Tho vessels now arc all busy carrying soft coal north, and wo havo to depend largely on steamships, not only hero ' but at Norfolk and other point* where we ship.” Thinking it might be interesting to our roaders to know the cost of this industry we asked Mr. White .to give us tho cost of a tic, after the tree is paid for. “Well,” said lie, “we pay 24c. for tho tie delivered to tho track, 7c. freights, wharfage, etc., 24c. transportation from Brunswick to New York, and one cent insurance on same—in all 50e. As we went uway we nuturally wondered what they got for tics at the other end of the line, but you know business men never tell what they get lor things they sell. The cost, they give readily, li.it not the selling figure.

How dif ferent their meeting on this occasion. Hatred has been displaced by love. They are foes no more, but friends, and as they view those historic grounds, may they pray forgiveness for that great mistukc of the past and bind themselves more firmly by tho invincible ties of true brothor- bood.

Tho Georgi a farmers and editors who attended llio Ohio State fair dur ing their western trip, will soon have an-opportunity to attend the Georgia State fair at Macon, and to compare the exhibits of the two ; and it limy be assumed tliut Georgia will not sof ter by the comparison, for in point of resources, advanced agriculture and new industries she occupies a iiigh position among the States. These fairs, however, rarely givo a correct idea of the resources and pro gross of a State, for tho reason that the exhibits -o-e nut as good as they could ho made. Comparatively few people make exhibits, und niuny of them do so upon the solicitation of representatives of tiie lair assoeia lions, and do not give that amount of attention to them tliut they should. Still, so far as Georgia is concerned, these fairs have shown a highly cred itable condition of alfuirs, and have been the means of inducing people to move to the State.

The first day he broke 12,020 ball, the second 10,017, the third 10,105, the fourth 10,591, the fifth 9,000, and the sixth 11,075—a total of 04,017. On the third day he broke 500 in fourteen minutes. As may very well be presumed, a duel between I)r. Carver and Dr. Bartlett would not be the bloodless affair that tbc average Georgia duel is. SUITS TO OKDEIL Fall Samples now ready.
