J.J.Lissner&Co The Leaders of Low Prices and Styles. 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. Bucklen’aArnica Bal.

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 -{he finance oommittee’s proposed inent to reduce the tax on saloons from* S2OO to SIOO, but the amendment was defeated. 'After progress made, the bill was tabled for the present, and the sen ate proceeded with other matters until the hour of adjournment. ■' STOCK. 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. La Grippe Again.

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.” Theve is nothing a* good as Japanese Cleansing Cream for cleansing clothes.

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.
