nar- New AvesiM -Opened Up
and the Fl«eey Staple to
Come In.
Yesterday was “red letter day” in
Brunswick, for it marked a period
when the chains tost held ber and
the fetters that 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 seekingship-
ment here has always met with great,
huge barriers, and cotton men had
almost given up in, despair, bpt the
clouds -have disappeared and the glo
rious sunlight has come. in, .for- On
‘ Monday last four new, avenues Were
opened up, . Up to |hls time cotton
from'Florida (for Brunswick) had
but one outlet—to Fernandina by
rail,and to Brunswick .bpP^nter.i
The fever in Fernandina. put a stop
to that, and we wore shut off. The
..Central railroad bottled us up at Al
bany, ..refusing to allow , her cars
through to Bruns vick, thus forcing
everything tip Savannah. In fact our
only outlets were the local cotton on
theJB. AW. R. R., and any pbint on
thh Central where Ihe powerful East
Tennessee held sway.
The barriers partly Vanished When
the A., P. A L. was Opened to Abbe
ville and the steamer line pnt on-'to
Brunswick, but last Monday, wit
nessed the culmination when the
here' that Brunswick and Savannah
should stand on thd same footing
frpm all points reached from their
lines. The Central, too, has swung
its ponderous jaw around, and after
hurling vile anathemas upon the <E.
•>T.,V. AG., has reached out its hands
, to the City by th^ Sea, and said to
her'merchants, “we will ship you cot-
Jton from any point you desire over
our lines, and thence to Brunswick I”
What a, change in her position! A
shorttime since she put her foot up-
" on Brunswick and the B. A W. and
shut out every possibility of Inter-
course *by demanding that every
, ponnd of freight should be ffansfer
* red to B. A W. ears at Albany. Bht
new the gates are open, and Btpins-
WJck, the developing giant of com
‘ ‘merce, begins to get her rights.
K**\ And how, to -cap the climax, tele-
' grams have reached us. from Mobile

■i ' has been granted, and over onr docks

Onr Trade Pamphlet.
Three years ago the Adtibtumi-
Appeal got out a trade pamphlet,
which has been recognised as the
greatest'advertising ever done for
our city. A year ago we Were on
the eve of getting out another, when
ihe morning paper .announced its in
tention first, to issue such a pamph
let. We forthwith stopped our ef
forts, and the result was nothing was
fijene. We are now ia^he. fl$ldr first;]
and weare glad to state that the jjjjjBaUro^ghop,.
owners of the ptosent morning paper
are among onr backers. They pro-
’ ring ps'all the help they can,
!ch we "shail be grateful.
Inshort, weare having the hearty
co-operation of allgmr business men,
andif prospectscontinue to bright
en we will ifsue about Dec. 1st a
pamphlot that will excell the other'
as that excelled any thing else ever
dope for our town. The engravings
be liner, the material better, the

Bun Over and Killed. n
ft A fourteen year old boy named
Davis Lang was run ove$ and killed
last night.at Reid’s station on the
E. T. V. A G. R. R. He undertook to
cross the track immediately in front
of the train in motion. His leg was
broken but no other visible sign was
found, his injuries being internal.
The skin was nowhere broken, so we
learn from passengers on the
train at the time. No blame is at-,
tached to the train officials. '
A Georgia editor in going away
left his paper in charge of a minister.
During the minister’s stay in the
sanctum the following letter came
from,* mountain subscriber: “You
know very well that I paid my sub
scription to your paper the last time
I was in /onr blamed town. If I get
any more letters from you* like the
last one, I will come down to your
office and maul the devil out of you."
To this the minister answered: “I
have been trying to maul that thing
out of the editor for.fifteen years past
and if you pill really come down and
do it for me, I have twenty more
members of my congregation that I
will get you to operate on.”
Thfi foreman' of ah Arizona print-
g office, Who had occasion to shoot
one of the compositors, added insult
to injuiy by referring to him after

of the Governor of Georgia to $4,000
perannmh. *
An increase in the Governor’s sal
ary has been suggested frequently
and the suggestion is a good one.
The office of Governor -is of more
importance than that of representa
tive in Congress, and yet a Congress
man reeeives$5,000 a year, while the
Governor receives only $3,000. Is
there any good reasoh why a Govern
or should not rccoive as much as a
Congressman? , It is true' the iast
named Is .paid by the general govern :
ment, which’Is- abundantly able to
pay even more than .it. does; but,
while Georgia is not wealthy, she can
afford to pay some of her, officers bet.

The president reoeives $2,700, the
cabinet officers $2,400, senators and
represenatives about $4 a day for
actual service. The entire outlay
for the executive and legislative de
partments is only $61,000 a year, or
a tax of two cents upon each inhab
itant. The expense of the same de
partments in the -United States is
$21,000,000 annually, or a tax of
thirtyflve cents. It should be re
membered however, that Switzerland
has not yet gone into the business of
making her.people rich by taxing
them .and is not solicitous about hav
