If those democrats who are dispar, aging Grover Cleveland will go to work for the democratic party we may be able to do away with the negro office holder in the south for tne four years, beginning March Ist. 1905.

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 make renumerative crops.

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 tin S tho land for planting this winter j will be pressed with the utmost vigor. . Tho whole of the low lands will be put ■ into dry culture if possible, and no rice will be planted, unless It should i -■ found that any portion is too low for any use. This! will uudobutedly prove to be the most fertile as well a 1 the largest truck farm in tnis part of the state. Every variety of veg etables <an be raised and will yield enormous crops, there being praeti e-'lly no limit to the fertility and en durance of the soil in these old rice fields. There id an extensive and Ideal cat tie range at Altama, and a mos,t ini. portant feature of the enterprise will be raising and fattening cattle, herd <>f about 1,000 head will lie grad (tally acquired and improved by the importation of blooded bulls. Cassava and velvet beans will be grown on a iurge scale to provide feed for the maintenance and fattening of the cat tle, there being ample acreage of land si ecially suitable for these two im portant Teed crops. y\round this prop, i ty ill soon lie built several miles of I’ago fence and other extensive im- provements are contemplated. Mr. Dean and his associates realize that “Rbme was not built in a day,’’ and are going about the work of re habilitation in a conservative and wholly business-like manner, keeping always in view the main object of get ting their property into a condition that will produce a large permanent income, and at the same time not ne glecting those small matters that count in all business enterprises, and often mark the difference between success and failure. At the present time under the energetic and capable management of Mr. Baumgartner toey. are rapidly bringing order out of chaos. It is believed that before | many moons we shall sec a model 1 plantation upon which every natural I advantage is compelled to yield its best result. Business judgment, skil managemcriT and sifficient . capitati make a combination hard- to beat, and | when to this is added the incompar j able gifts of nature vouchsafed to the I fortunate possessors of such prop* j erty as this there is no apparent rea j son wny the hopes of the enterprising owners of historic Hopeton aud Alt ama should not be realized to the full est extennt. Tne benefits that must naturally accrue to Glynn county and Brunswick through the success of these gentlemen are too obvious to require pointing out by The News. However, the public will with real good cheer say; to these enterprising gentlemen; “Go and prosper.” it C.
