SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED.
Tne county, commissioners should
make every imssiole concession to
Mr. Treawell and his asosciates, who
are asking for certain tax exemptions
and for other privileges in the con
struction of a system of electric rail
ways in the city aud county.
Such an enterprise would mean
much for Brunswick, and while, of
course, the best interest of the coun
ty should be subserved at the same
tints these gentlemen who are an
xious to come and invest their cap
ita! among us should be treated with
as much liberality as possible by the
city and county administrations.
Of course the question of tax ex
emptionsfj/ is necessarily a serious
one, still we think it is within the
power of the commissioners, to even
go that far, if it can be shown t)0 a
reasonable certainty that the enter
prise asking for such a concession will
be of great benefit to the community
at large.
Brunswick is In need of just such
a public convenience as Mr. Tread,
well and his associates have in con
templation and we would be very hap
py to see the county commissioners
grant them such privileges, as they
can with consistency.
GO BLOW.
How ever much democrats in this
or any other section of the country
may differ with the political opinion
and conduct of former President Gro.
ver Cleveland, it must be confessed
tuat the party had never before and
has not since enjoyied the success;
which it attained under bis leader
ship. We do not subscribe to the Joc
tiine that Mr, Cleveland isi the man
who at this time can lead the dem
ocratic party out of the wilderness to
wnlch the false Gods have led it, but
at the same time should liisi good offi
ces be turned down by the party?
The once proud democracy of Tilden
and Olney and Herbert Is now a seeth
ing chaotic mass of division, torn byt
discord, humiliated by defeat; is this
the time for the advice of much a
man as Mr. Cleveland to be scorn
ed?
We think not, and we would ask
tile democrats of this country to pon
der well before they take a step that
must land them more hopelessly tha-*
ever In the quagmire of defeat, dis
tress and abject failure.
What we want at this time is unity
in the rank and file of the party a *,l
not wider differences. Mr. Cleveland’s
address before the Tilden club was a
plain, manly one and one that no dem
ocrat, who stands for harmony, in
the party can find objection to.
For our part we favor any plan of
action that will serve to unify the
party, and as| a matter of fact as be
tween those who have lead it for the
past six years and those represented
by MessersL Olney and Whitney and
parlsile and Cleveland, if you please,
we think success is more certain in
the hands' of the latter aggregation
Ilian that of the former.
HARVESTING FOR A BRIDE.
One of the most novel contests in
the history of Cupid’s Court has just
ended in Pratt county, Kansasi. A
young mechanic front Illinois cut
wheat for a farmer’s fair daughter,
and, in accordance with the agree
ment, the twain have been made one.
it seems that the worthy farmer had
500 acres of wheat field in need of
cutting ere the yellow grain grew
musty, and. though he had two hands,
others than thoqe attached to his
hotly were scarce. No help could be
obtained from any quarter and in
desperation the farmer hit upon the
scheme which led to a successful cul
mination of his agricultural hopes. It
was( to offer his daughter, a winsome
miss of a definite and sufficiently few
number of summers, in marriage to
the swain who would cut the most
wheat in a specified time. From all
quarters of the country came men by
the score, who scorned work for
money, yet did not begrudge their
brows; sweat for the love of the pe
tite prize. According to her terms of
privilege, the fair prize as ruthlessly
cut out some of the contestants as the
others cut her father’s wheat. One
had a crooked nose and didn't suit;
another was halt in the off leg and
ouldn't do at ail; still another wasi
addicted to the use of essence of rye
and she prefered a teetotaler. In
short, by the time she pruned the ap
plicants down to an eligible list there
was left the finest, sturdiest bunch
of yokels that ever went on parade be
fore the glamor of a damsel’s optics.
; Then they went to work. Heeding
not the rays of the hot Kansas sun
and caring nothing for the great
beads of enthusiasm that stood on
their noble foreheads, these dozen or
more men toiled from early morning
till late at night treading the rough
plowed ground as though it were a
downy path of Paradise, strewn with
the choicest flowers grown in the con
servatory of LdVe. When their backs
ached they smiled and forgot it;
when the blades struck stumps they
swore not, but smiled again and sped
them on their furvid way; and whan
the end came, lo! there stood one
who had toiled ten long hours a day
and bared 100 acres to the stubble,
and in the lot were three good teams
he had worn our with his preserving
industry.
Verily, love is a mighty thing. In
the olden days it wa B common for
men to enter the lists and do battle
to the death for a fair lady, but this
is probably the first case on record in
which Cupid chose the harvester in.
stead of the sword and the turned
ground instead of the bloody stands.
KING ALBERT’S DEATH.
The death of King Albert brings to a
close one of the moat determined an 1
extraordinary fights for life against
long odds which has ever been known
in history. The king’s case was de
clared to be hopeless by his physi
cians several week* ago, and they
have announced more than once that
he could not possibly live for more
than a few hours. Each time, how
ever, he rallied, but his physicians re
mained pessimistic, although the king
seemed determined to live.
King Albert of Saxony was the last
of the generals who commanded the
German army in 1870. having had an
independent command in the Franco-
Prussian war. King Albert contribut
ed to the foundations of the empire,
and although he fought against the
Prussians In the war of 1866, he imme
diately reconciled himself to the sit
uation and supported Prussia’s polit
ical aud military aspirations.
Emperor William always referred to
King Albert as a fatherly friend. It
Is understood that the emperor will at
once suspend his tour of the Rhine
and return to Berlin to take part in the
funeral of the dead king.

THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS,
The public i* not aware of the true
significence and real importance to
this community, of the vast enter
prise recently undertaken by the pres
ent owners of Hie consolidated plan
tations of Hopeton and Altama. While
the ruins at Hopeton, dying evidences
of its departed glory, arouse the sym
pathies am) stir tee imagination of
tuc most thoughtless, and the living
beauties of Altama attract and chal
lenge the admiration of every visitor
to its lordly domain, few apperciate
that In addition to these “show" fea.
tures there is to be found on the 0,000
acres comprising the property, every
variety of soil necessary to produce
in perfection any crop than can be
grown in this section, for consump
tion by man or beast.
This fact was clearly revealed by
the inspection of Prof. Stockbridge,
of t'ne Florida Experiment Station,
during nis visit last week. The result
of his observations may be summed
up in one sentence; “Anything that
will grow in this climate and lati
htde can lie brought to perfection on
some portion of the uplands or .rice
lands at Altama and Hopeton."
The greater part of the arable lands
have not been cultivated for years and
it will therefore take a great deal of
hard work to put them n Shape to

The low lands,formerly' used for rice
culture, are not in condition for crop
ping thi a summer. Owing to many
’of the gates being out of repair, as
J weli as several breaks in the outer
j banks, practically the whole 1.500
j acres of low- lands have been, for a
considerable period subject to tae ac
tion of the tides, the water flowing in
cad out with each tide without re
striction. A force of men have been
actively at work on the banks for sev.
c.al weeks making the necessary re
pairs which are now about completed.
As soon as the water lias been shut
oat, and the lands nave dried off suffi
ciently to permit it, the work of fit

j will be pressed with the utmost vigor.
. Tho whole of the low lands will be put

rice will be planted, unless It should
