COMING BACK
The closing of negotiations
which a prominent produce
sion firm, of Philadelphia, in fact
of the largest in the East,
Palm Harbor, St. Simon Island,
sages the beginning of
activities on this productive
on a scale that suggests the
lum days, when cargoes of
cotton, lumber and other
left the piers on either side of St.
mon almost daily.
For many years this once
' j island has been neglected, in fact it
has never recovered from the
of the Civil war, when the
tions of the Old South were made
bloom and blossom and bourgeon with
teeming crops by the slaves of those
days. But this neglected
for that is what it was in those times,
is being rehabilitated more rapidly
than it drifted into decadance.
Within the recent past several de¬
velopment companies have taken over
large tracts of land on St. Simon and
cultivated them with the most satis¬
factory results. It was within the
last few months that several cai
loads of vegetables were shipped
from these farms to the Northern and
Western markets, bringing in remun¬
erative returns. And it was done
more as an experiment than for pe¬
cuniary gain.
Realizing the illimitable possibili¬
ties of St. Simon for the production of
vegetables of every description, the
Justice Company, who operate large
truck farms and packing houses at
Palmetto, Fla., and Beaufort, S. C.,
leased the Palm Harbor properties
for a term of years and will begin the
immediate planting 1 of such crops as
.hev deem best at this time. It is
stated authoritatively that other con¬
joins, one in Atlanta, is contemplat¬
ing the cultivation of many acres ol
land on St. Simon in fruits and veg¬
etables.
There are many islanders living
.eday who knew St. Simon in all o!
'.er pristine glory and prosperity, and
hey will live to see the restoration of
the island to its former prestige. Fo
St. Simon is incomparably great and
is coming back into that greatness
after all these years of lethargy.
MAKING PAPER IN THE SOUTH
Many efforts to make white paper
in the South liave been made. In
Southern mountains thei-e is quite a
number of pulp mills that ship most
if their products to Eastern mills for
finishing, but another serious effort is
being made in Florida to produce an
ill-Southern product of newspaper.
The Polk County Record of Bartow,
Florida, reports on the development
n the project as follows:
“The recent edition of the
Leesburg (Fla.) Commercial was
the first newspaper printed oil
stock manufactured from saw
grass pulp.
“Three years ago work com¬
menced in this undertaking. The
minds of some of the greatest in¬
ventors and chemists in the na¬
tion were taxed to produce ma¬
chinery that would gather the
raw sawgrass in the marshes
around Leesburg and transform
it into newspaper pulp. Although
many problems were met, the
company stuck to the work, and,
on the whole, extraordinary suc¬
cess was had.
“A giant caterpillar sawgrass
harvester was built that would
either float in shallow water or
traverse the soft mud where the
water was insufficient. It cut
the sawgrass in a sixteen-foot
swath, lifted it into a hopper
where it was cut into shorter
lengths, and conveyed to barges
in the rear by means of a blower.
A pulp mill was built and the or¬
iginal plan was to confine the
product to piulp and ship it to
northern mills, but freight rates
made complications in this pro¬
gram.
“The men behind the financial
end of the industry lookqd into
the matter thoroughly. The high
freight rate on pulp going North
and the high rate on finished pa¬
per coming back South gave a
margin of profit that made it ad¬
vantageous to complete the man¬
ufacture of the finished product
right where the pulp was produc¬
ed and this program is now being
followed out.
“The sawgrass paper is of bet¬
ter texture and twice the strength
of the wood pulp papers. The
s;ock used in the issue of the
Leesburg Commercial is charac¬
terized as ordinary news yet per¬
mits the use of pen without blur.
It is difficult to tear in a straight
it in a straight pull. Craft wrap
puil. .(.'raft wrapping paper will .
: isfllze thi?*yihgth and frh’ish tort
I fd vantage.
t “The pulp mill will be operat¬
j ed continuously hereafter while
j the paper-making machinery is
j to be installed at once. Immense
sums are already invested in the
industry and men of the widest
e> perience are reporting its fi¬
nancial success.”
THE MYTH OF OLD AGE
The notion that a man is through
with his life ami ready to be laid
on the shelf when he has reached the
shady side of 50 is pure myth, “such
stuff as dreams are made of.”
This is the reverse side of that ex¬
travagant cult of youth which is
largely made up of an over-apprecia¬
tion of the material and sensual val¬
ues of life.
If the worth of life is to be mea¬
sured in terms of the spirit, there is
no reason why the years after 50
should not be the very richest.
The other day John A. Stewart, the
active chairman of one of New York’s
most important financial institutions,
celebrated his one hundred and first
birthday. He is still going strong
and getting a good deal out of life
for himself and for his friends, and
George F. Baker, the chairman of
the First National Bank, is 83 years
old and is of considerable importance
in the financial life of the city.
E. H. Gary, who holds down per
haps the most important job in the
whole country as chief executive of
the United States Steel Corporation,
is 75. John D. Rockefeller is 84, and
Andrew Carnegie died when he was
85.
Perhaps whether a man is done
for when he is past 50 depends a good
deal on what life is supposed to
mean. Certain it is that judging life
by its spiritual equations, by the
force and value of mind and not of
body, that period of time beyond 50
is of the most importance.

Editor Brunswick News:
In re-reading an old scrap book of
newspaper clippings of correspon¬
dence written by my father beginning
with 18G7 to various newspapers and
magazines throughout the South and
West as traveling correspondent, so
much mention is made of Brunswick 1
that I thought it possible many .iiui.j of „» ,
readers might be interested to 1

a
this grand old seaport, with its strug- .
gles for progress and recognition be- ,
fore the world through the host ot
always to have ^
obstacles that seem
been set about it.
The following letter to the “Times,”
(which “Times) is not stated) re¬
veals the fact that recent fights are
not the only ones in which Brunswick
has been engaged:
“Brunswick Ga., April, 1868.
“Dear Times: Brunswick is rising
in importance every day. But as she
rises she has to fight her way.
“The Bill of Injunction brought
against the Brunswick and Albany
railroad was argued here this week by
Generals J .cks'on and Toombs, coun¬
sel for complainants, and Judge
Dougherty and Linton Stephens,
counsel for the defendants. It was
argued with much ability by each par¬
ty. The judge reserves his decision
for a few days. It is supposed here,
of course, that the bill will be dis¬
solved. It would seem that our South
Georgia territory is to be well check¬
ed off by railroads.
“Mr. Babcock, wHo is now con¬
structing this line of road, is a very
fast and successful road-builder. He
comes recently as a contractor
on the great Pacific. The road is now
ready for the iron to No. 9, A. & G.
R. R. They expect to lay a mile ar.d
a half a day commencing next week.
“Pity corporations should fight
against one another! This road will
undoubtedly take much of the trade
from a very deserving road and one
illy prepared just now to lose it. The
A. & G. railroad should right off build
so as to tap the Eufaula and Mobile ,
road, then she would stand a succes: - !
ful rival of all other roads. This, j
I believe, is her intention. But enough
on this endless, but now all important
question.
“The Macon & Brunswick road is
expecting, I believe, to take South
Georgia to the State Fair on a free
ride. Let old and young stand in
readiness.—West Marvin.”
