BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1888.
ISER-
DOCK DOTH.
: Sights and Sounds at the E. T.,
V. & 0. B. B. Wharves.
The busiest place in-all Brunswick’s
i length and breadth is tigs “new dock."
It is a great bee-hive, in which a
great colony of heterogeneous human
'bees are rushing to and fro, hither
.and thither—Johnnie Rebs, Yankees,
English, Irish, Scotch, Germans, and
-the ever present and' ubiquitous ne
,gro, “too numerous to mention.”-?
The ADVJtETisEK-ArrKAL went out
jresterday with photographer Jaok-
son to get a view of the dook for the
forth-coming Trade Pamphlet, and
* while the photographer was getting
•a focus with, his camera the newspa
per man finds a pencil sketch for the
benefit of the hundreds for whom he
is eyes and ears, in a news-gathering
-sense.
t First, then, the dooks have adeep
water frohtage of 1,400 feet, and like
a bulwark along its entire length lay
-three streamsbips, a bark and a
schooner, while on the inside of the
.pier lay, the steamer Abbeville, dis-
-charging cotton, and a tug steamed
And puffed out in the stream.
The steamships Caledonia, Mlneo-
!la and Caroline Miller were loading
with cotton. Mr. F. D. Aikin was
in person looking over the destinies
-of the latter.

being laid, with plugs at appropriate
distances. Sea water will be pumped
iato-atank, and in. case of fire put
to use.
'Perhaps a hundred negroes work
on the dook. Many; of them carry
their dinners, but numbers patronize
Elbe two restaurants that have estab
lished themselves in rough board
sheds. They lack something of ri
valling Delmonico,'but they suit the
-class of customers.
The busiest man on the docks is
lb. H. W. Johnson, the representa
tive of the railroad. He has a vast
amount of business on his hands, and
often burns the midnight oil.
tft&r-in East Tennessee cars.
The 1,400 feet of wharf front is
tapperf about every hundred feet by
spur tracks, which converge to the
main line like the ribs of an enor
mous fan.
The warehouses, »t the northern
end of the docks, are filled with dam
ageable merchandise largely spirits
turpentine, while the territory around
is a perfect sea of rosin barrels. Here
the work of gauging, grading and
marking was going on with a rush,
and Mr. J, S. Thomas looked on with
the expression of a man who had
more than a passing interest in those
barrels.
But tho busiest spot on the whole
area is at the southern end, where
the compress is going up. This and
the warehouse to adjoin it will stand
on a large platform built inside of
the dock proper. Great attention
has been paid to the foundations for
this platform, and it will stand any
weight that can be put on it
The press iB not yet up, but the
foundations of masonry are ready to
receive it, and a train load of machin
ery is on the ground. Some of the
castings are tremendous, weighing
many tons. This compress is prom
ised to be the most powerful in the
world. ^
The furnaces and boilers are al
ready pnt np, the necessary masonry
beingupon a specially prepared foun
dation of piling.
An artesian well is being dug to
supply the boilers with water. Mr.
T. W. Dexter is the contractor, and
the hum of his engine can be. heard
from morning till night At noon
yesterday he had reached a depth of
260 feet with a four ineh pipe. The
pipe goes right through the salt wa
ter, but that won't keep the artesian
fluid from being Justus dear and
sweet
Another busy man is Mr. Moses
Daniels, the plumber, who is looking
after the fire protection. Beneath the
cotton portion of tbe'dock pipes are
B. & W. R. B.
By reference to the Council pro
ceedings in yesterday’s issue it will
be seen that Council has granted the
B. & W. permission to lay another
track into the dty from a point near
the mouth of the old canal down to
the present docks. The ground cov
ered is the marsh lots now unoccu
pied,. but still represented on the
map. 1 he road owns the majority of
the lots through there and only asks
permission to lease the streets. The
City granted the lease for sixty years
at a nominal rental with tho priviso
that ono of the streets so crossed
shall have and be maintained by the
road a public dock for small boats
to land so that the water front in that
part of town will not be shut off from
the public. This gives the road all
they need, and they will forthwith
begin to improve this property, and
when so completed they will have fa
cilities for doing the immense they

A Brunswick Boy Promoted.
Our young friend, Ernest Dart,
who is attending the State College
at Dahlonega, is beating the record.
Although in the freshman class, in
this, his first year, he has been pro
moted to a corporalcy in the compa
ny for proficiency in scholarship and
high marks in deportment. This is
a laurel not often worn by freshmen
boys in their first year.
The Millitary Fair.
The wives,sisters,moth era, daugh
ters and lady cousins, of the mem
bers of the two military companies
and also every well wisher, is reques
ted to meet Friday afternoon at four
o’clock at the armory, to Organize

but let every one interested be on

Good Fishing.
Mr. BenFahm, in charge of the

south of us, reports fishing good.
Whilst at anchor they have nothing
to do but fish, and here is the result
for about eleven days time:
Seventy-two old drum and seven

apiece—total 2,765 pounds. They
have now some ten or a dozen big
fellows tied at their station awaiting
a chance for shipment.
New Equipments.
The Riflemen are in luck. Capt
Dart has just returned from Atlanta
whither he had gone to secure new
equipments for his Company. He
secured new belts, cartridge boxes,

have ne^ guns—tho latest*improved.
A Company is fortunate who has a
good worker at the helm. In this
respect both the Riflemen and the
Horse Guards are fortunate.

Local Option In Georgia.
Savannah News. £
iThe New York Press thinks loBal
option in Georgia a failure, and says
that the people of this State are be
coming convinced that what they
want ishigh license, if, indeed they
want to place any restraint upon the
sale of intoxicants.
The Press bases its opinion on two
things, viz., that local option in this
State does not decrease the amount
of intoxicants consumed, and that it
injures trade wherever it is in opera
tion.
The Press fails-to stateHhat other
argument, if it may be called sneh,
against prohibition, viz [ that it in.
terferes with a man’s right to drink.
Perhaps tho Press appreciates 'the
fact that this ^-called argument
does not amount to anything.. Pro
hibition does not and caffbot take
away the right of any one to drink.
What Jit'pws is'prohibit the sale of
intoxicants within a prescribed area.
There are several reasons why lo
cal option in Georgia is not a failure.
Under the law the prohibition for
themselves, and after it has been de
cided fairly [those who voted with
the minority are very likely to ac
cept the result as gracefully as pos
sible. It does not prevent the use
of intoxicants. What is known as
the jug business is carried on some
what extensively, but the amount of
intoxicants consumed after the adop
tion of prohibition is not nearly so
great as before. It reduces taxation
by reducing court expanses, and it
diminishes crime. If it does not help
trade, certainly it does n0tjhga3e.it,
IMMBS ml people in prohHllittVlliil
ties who go to towns where whiskey
is sold, and who do a good deal of
their trading there, but there are
many more who, having spent, for
merly, a considerable amount on
whiskey, under prohibition spend
more for the necessaries of life, and
are much better paying customers
than they. Prohibition benefits the
colored people, making them better
laborers and providers. But ono of
the strongest arguments in its favor
is that it removes temptation, in

not formed drinking habite.
The longer prohibition remains in
force, the more apparent will become
its benefits.
If the Press will send an unpreju
diced man on a tour of inspection in
every county in Georgia, it will soon
change its opinion with regard to
this matter. Local option in Geor
gia is a success.
