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. The British bark George Davis, Capt. Falkner, is being loaded with lumber by Stillwell, Millen & Co., under charge of Mr. Harry Barkuloo, who has-for many years handled the penoil and .tally book. 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 fi- next two years $13t>, 000 (m this property. 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 for business at the coming military fair. Let there be no stay-aways, but let every one interested be on hand and lend her aid. By order of Mrs. A. J. Cbovatt. Manager Ladies’ Department. Kindergarten. Miss Sophie Thombury, the suc cessful Kindergarten teacher has re turned to the city and will resume her school to-morrow, the 25th.

Good Fishing. Mr. BenFahm, in charge of the Clara, doing quarantine duty on 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 channel bass, averaging 35 pounds 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, etc., and will, as soon as possible, 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.

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 ESTABLISHED II - FEYE*D0TS. 33 new cases and one death in Jack sonville yesterday. Bishop Weed is very ill.

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.
