The Brunswick Times.
An ’lnterview.
“It happens,” said Tub Times to a
visitor, “that yon have known something
of the administration of the different in
cumbents of the gubernatorial ohair for
•ome years past. Impart some of the in
formation yon possess?”
The visitor was wound np in much less
time than it takes to wind a Waterbary
watch, and thns he spoke:—
"I never knew his excellency, Ruins
B. Bnlloob, until after his abdication of
the gubernatorial chair; indeed, I did not
meet him until after his return to Geor
gia. The last time I saw him, which
was less than two years ago, be stood on
P street, near the Oglethorpe hotel, and
talked with me of the tlms when people
cursed him on account of his official con
nection with the Brunswiok and Albaoy
(now Brunswick and Western) railroad.
He exnressed the opinion in that brief
but pleasant interview that Brunswick
owed him a debt of thanks. He is cer
tainly, in private life, one of the most
genial and pleasant of gentlemen.
“As all know he was sncoeeded by
Governor James M. Smith, who went
Into offioe with the declaration 'I believe
in the omnipotence of honesty.’ I knew
him well. His rugged and unyielding
character, as well as a hasty temper, in
volved him In many troubles. In offic
ial life, he was eminently*honest and the
state of Georgia owes him a debt of
gratitude. He was a man with a great
big brain and would have doubtless re
tained fully his hold ou the public, but
for the causes mentioned and the further
fact that the constitution of the state
gave him the appointineat of almost all
officers. Hence where he made one
friend, he made a dozen enemies. For
tunate it Is for his successors that the
constitution has been changed.
Senator Alfred H. Colquitt’s ad
ministration was stormy indeed.
No man was more bitterly
opposed or more ardently sup
ported. Asa politician he lias had
within my recolleoiou perhaps one equal
In Georgia, but no superior. I suppose
Senator Joseph S. Brown to be his equal
in this respect.
Governor Stephens’ short term,
the fiuale of a long political
career, was marked by the large num
ber of pardons issued by him. It was
sard that if he had continued in office,
-the convict lease wojtf, for the
time at least, have been thoroughly set
tled.
Governor Boynton was one of the
gentlest of men whom I have ever seen
to have been conspicuous upon ‘many
battlefields. It it is a fact that upon oue
occasion when the 'bloody thirtieth’
faltered, he rallied the regiment by pro
posing to Billy Adamson, a young
private soldier, that they two charge the
opposing line of battle.
llis successor, likewise a brave soldier,
was a surprise to the state. No one ex
pected his nomination, and only his inti
mate friends knew his powers. It was
wittily remarked that the snoces3or of a
governor who could not walk, was an
other who could not talk. But Henry L>.
McDaniel could talk, provided yon had
time to spare to let him get it out. When
it did come, it was in great chunks ot
solid wisdom. There has never been a
more level headed man m public offioe
than Governor McDaniel. No mistakes
have ever been charged against him. Of
all the governors I have known, he was
the moat thoroughly devoted to duty. I
mean by this, that his conception of dnty
allowed him to leave nothing to his
faithful subordinates, which the law said
‘the governor’ should do. He personally
inspected every paper before he signed
it. He signed nothing, hawever formal
in oharaoter, in blank. All the blanks in
the official forms had first to be filled in.
The marvel of the completion of the
state capitol withiu the appropriation,
was largely due to his prudence and
praotioal wisdom, and the handling of
our state finances uuder his administra
tion was superb. I tell you we have
never had his superior as governor and
rarely his equal.
“All know the wonderful race of Gen
eral Gordon for the office of governor.
At the time he entered upon his brilliant
canvass. Major Bacon had a dead sure
thing of it. There was bat one man in
Georgia who oould defeat him under the
then existing circumstances, and that
man was the most magnetic man whom
I have ever met. llis administration
was indorsed by the people in his re-elec
tion, and the seat in the senate, to wliioh
he was last winter elected, could have
beeu won by no other man in the state,
nuder the same circumstances.”
“What of Governor Northen?” was
asked. But the Waterbury had run
down and seemed then incapable of be
ing re-wound.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
What Was Done in the Senate and
House Thursday.
THE BERNER BILL DEFEATED.
The Smith Substitute 'to the Berner
Bill. Which Is Very Similar to It,
Passed the House and Its Adoption
in Place of the Chappell Substitute.
Special Correspondence of Tbe Times.
Atlanta, Ga., October 2. —The
house of representatives have at last dis
posed of the Berner bill. Mr. Gaiviu
continued on yesterday his argument
against the Berner bill, aud in favor of
the formers substitute. He declared that
the bill was drafted by himself and Sen
ator Ellington, and presented to the
alliance members, by whom Dr. Chap
pell was delegated to introduce it. Mr.
Smith of Decatur, spoke brielly in favor
of the substitute offered liy himself, after
which Mr. Twitty of Jackson, called for
the previous question. The house sus
taining the call, the chairman of the
committee favorably reporting the bill,
Mr. Hill of Meriwether had twenty min
utes in which to conclude the debate.
Ilia time was extended, aud he spoke for
an hour and a half in favor of the Berner
bill. The vote first taken was on
tlie substitute offered by Dr. Chap
pel), which stood yeas 74, and
nays 77. bo the substitute was
lost. Next came the vote ou the substi
tute of Mr. Smith, wliioh was adopted by
a vote of 90 to 63. It has been charged
that the so-oalled farmers substitute was
framed in accordance with the’wishcs ot
the railroads and was favored by them.
The Smith substitute is extremely sim
ilar to tbe original bill of Mr. Berner
add its adoption was somewhat of a sur
prise. Mr. Dunwody voted against the
Chappell Substitute and in favor of the
Smith substitute.
A motion to immediately transmit the
bill to the senate, whion would cut- off
re-consideration if passed, was fought
and withdrawn.
In the senate, the bill relative to the
manner of carrying firearms was lost.
Most of the session was * jl to tbe
foTaofc was 'Some, ion

inent to reduce the tax on saloons from*

defeated. 'After progress made, the bill

ate proceeded with other matters until

of Baltimore
/to Raise Money.
O ot °ber I.—Tbe Post says:
published that the Rich
mond Terminal Company had sold its
holdings of Baltimore Bnd Ohio stock to
obtain funds to meet interest due to-day.
President Inman, referring to the re
ports, stated that the company has sold
2,000 sbarts of Baltimore and Ohio stock
at 87.54. It had previously sold some of
its holdings, and will sell the balance
very sood. He says that the funds are
not needed to pay interest, but that the
company is selling the slock simply be
cause it has no use for it.
All Drunk.
Blackslicar Times.
We never saw as much drunkenness in
Blackshear before as we did on last Sat
urday—it was hogs. Early in the morn
ing Mr. Joe Harper emptied several
large barrels of grape hulls, from whioh
he had made wine, ont in the rear of his
store. It wasn’t lODg till the swine be
gan to gather to it like bees to a bait,
and the.consequences were, late in the
afternoon, almost every hog in town was
drank. They would stand about upon
the streets with their snout down on the
ground, tbeii legs standing out on either
side like benoh lege, and sleep. Of course
this furnished a good deal of amusement
for the boys of the town at the expense
of tne dumb brute. The boys would
punch hoggie on one side and he would
say, whe e-e, punoh on the other side
and he’d say whee-e.

RAILROAD MEETING.
Organization of the Brunswick, St.
Mary’s, and Florida.
FROM BRUNSWICK TO FLORIDA.
A Deal Between the Atlanta and Flor
ida, the South Bound and the Bruns
wick, St Mary’s and Florida Is
Rumored.
Yesterday a meeting of the Bruns
wick, St. M ury’s and Florida Railroad
Company tyt, held at the First Natioual
bank, 4:30 o'clock, p. m. f
W. E. Herbage was chosen ohairman
of the meeting.
Tbe charter recently procured through
the legislature was read and adopted.
A board of seven directors were
elected.
Subsequently the diiectora met and
eleoted the following offioers for one
year:—
Wm. J. Cahoone, of New York, Presi
dent; John A- Foster, of Satilla Bluff,
Camden county, vice-president; and J.
J. Spear, of Brunswick, secretary aud
treasurer.
The purpose of the Brunswiok, St.
Marys and Florida Railroad Company is
to build a toad from Brunswick along
theooast, by St. Mary’s to Hart’s Road
on the Florida Central and Peninsular.
It is expected that such a line will be of
great advantage to Brunswiok, establish
ing, as it will, short connection to
Florida and putting Brunswiok in posi
tion to attract through her port a large
share of Florida’s commerce. It will be
of advantage, too, in another respect as it
will give the East Tennessee a shorter
line than tbe one upon which it is
now compelled to rely for the Florida
travel passing .over its line and putting
Brunswick on one of the main lines of
this through travel.
That this line ought to be built ap
pears evident to any one who may think
over it, and if built it would doubtless
become a baying piece of property at
once. i
It is rtuijored that a sort of triangular
deal is in process between the Bruns
wick, Bt. fit ijry’s and Florida Railroad
CotßpirwWfce South Bound yailroadjmd
*r£ m L at
l uda. - E/’i‘-,Tifected, the South Bound will
be completed from Savannah to Bruns
wick, the Atlanta and Florida from Fort
Valley to ; Brunswick and the Bruns
wiok, St. Mary’s and Florida from
Brunswick to Harts Road.
THROUGH HAWKINSVILLE.
It is Desirable for tbe Atlanta and
Florida to Come That Way.
Id noticing the rumors in reference to
the extension of tbe Atlanta and Florida
railroad from Fort Valley to Brunswick
the Hawkinsville News and Dispatoh
urges that the road be built through
Hawkinsville. Hawkinsville is a good
town and it would be greatly to the ad
vantage of Brunswick to have the in
creased and more direot connection
which would thns be given. The News
and Dispatch says:
“A recent article In the Atlanta Con
stitution states that the Atlauta and
Florida railroad will be extended from
Fort Valley, its present terminus, to
Brunswick. If those controlling the At
lanta and Florida would study their in
terests, they would see that this road
should by all. means come through
Hawkinsville. The merchants of Hawk
insville, and we have some of the stroDg
est and most prosperous in Southwest
Georgia, buy annually thousands of dol
lars worth of goods from the Macon
wholesale merchants, while an Atlanta
drummer is-a rara avis. The merchants
of Atlauta can surely compete with those
of Msood. With the Atlanta and Flor
ida built to Hawkinsville, Atlanta would
get a fair share of the trade|of this place.
Let the road come through Hawkins
ville by all means, and we will do wLat
is right.
Speaker Reed’s Terror.
During the administration of Thomas
B. (Boss) Reed as speaker of the Honse
of Representatives, there was one mem
ber whom he preferred to look at i ather
than to hear speak; that member was
John H. Rogers, from Arkansas, who
says: “I have tried ‘Antimigraine’ for
headaches repeatedly in the past six
mouths with entire sucoess. I have felt
no ill effects afterward. It has been a
blessing to me, and I cheerfully so cer
tify. John H. Rogkrs.”

THE BOARD OF TRADE.
The Meetlne Yesterday and Some Dis
cussion About Cotton Receipts.
The board of trade met yesterday. The
principal discussion was over the incor
rect statement which has been published
by some ootton exchanges in reference to
Brunswick’s oottou reodpts for the year*
1890-91. As has heretofore been shown
in The Times, the reports fail to give
Brunswick oredit for more than 70,000
bales, which were received and went to
market from here by ooastwise shipment.
In fact, these reports only give Bruns
wick oredit for ootton receipts to the
amount of her direot export shipments
and her looal consumption-
The manisfest injustice of this treat
ment whioh Brnnswiek receives at tbe
hands of cotton exohanges has been
pointed out by the board of trade and a
diligent effort has been to have the mat
ter oorrected.
