BRUNSWICK, GA., TUESDAY EVENING, .JULY 22, 1890.
GAMBRINUS REX.
His Majesty Holds Court and the
Populace Rejoices.
Opening of the Brunswick Brewing
and Ice Company's Plant—Vis
itors From Many Cities—
Items of Interest.
A big day for Brunswick!
This has certainly been one of the
kind and what made it such was the
occasion of the formal opening of
the plant of the Brunswick Brewing
and Ice Company.
The morning was cloudy and
showery, but that didn't dampen the
ardor or the expectations of the
citizens who were determined to
welcome the new enterprise in a
proper manner.
Invitations to the opening had
been scattered all over the country
and special trains arriving during
the forenoon brought many visitors
and guests.
A few moments before 11 o’clock
the procession with numerous de
corated beer wagons headed by the
famous Atlantic band, started from
the Rilles’ armory, down Newcastle
street and proceeded to the brewery
where a hearty welcome and befitting
reception awaited the participants
in the procession.
A Post reporter, who arrived at
the brewery in advance of the pro
cession, was met at the gate by Mr.
R. 11. Stahl, who extended him every
courtesy.
Mr. Stall, showed the reporter to
the entrance to the cellars which had
a few moments before been the scene
of quite a pleasing little incident.
The employes of the brewery had
just presented Superintendent Peter
Wolters with a beautiful silver water
pitcher and gobletjin recognition of
liis many kindnesses.
The pitcher was inscribed as fol
lows:
Presented by the employes of the
Brunswick Brewing and lee Com
pany, to Peter Wol
ters. on his 17th birthday.
It seems that the opening of the
brewery and the superintendent's
natal anniversary fell upon the same
day. Col. George H. Merrifield was
called upon to present the pitcher
and his remarks upon this occasion
are said to have been most fitting
In other words he covered himself
with glory.
It may not be amiss to say at this
juncture with today Mr. Wol
ters closes thirty years service in
brewing. R IL Stahl, Albert Weflz
ind Eberly, were the com
mittee appointed for the presenta
. tion.
Then came an inspection of the
preparations for the barbecue.
Col Merrifiel 1 as chairman of the
committee on bai l ecue had most
certainly done his duty and Mr.
Chas E. Flanders who superintended
the cooking accomplished wonders
under the most adverse circum
stances imaginable and the meats as
they lay ready for the crowd, gtivc
■ forth a most appetizing odoi.
As to the buildings at the brewery.
The main building which com
prises the filling, beer.fementing.and
hop rooms on the lower floor with
other rooms above is 272 feet long by
twenty three feet wide, three storys
high.
The machine room, where is also
mandfactured ice with the ice storage
and bottling rooms is 208 feet long
by forty feet, one story high.
The outhouses and stables are in
proportion ami are as complete in de
| tails as possible.
Under the guidance of Mr. Robt.
i Lucas the reporter went through the
I immense cellars of the brewery where
is kept the beer. Stepping from the
heat of the outer day into the cool
dimness of the vaults was a treat not
noon to be forgotten and it was with
i regret that the bright sunlight again
greeted ones eyes. These cellars
alone are 136 feet long by twenty’two
I wide.
The weekly capacity of the brew
ery is 1,000 barrels of beer, while
the ice manufactory is capable of
turning out forty tops of ice per day.
At 1 o'clock the barbecue was
spread and the feast of good things,
' wit down by the splendid beer, dis
appeared rapidly and then coine the
► peeches.
Mr. W. E Kay was called upon
first and in Ids reply gratified his
hearers and admirers t» a marked
degree. Ills ruiuurks were like the
man full of pith energy and vim.
• In rapid succession Messrs. Ull
man, Harris, Dart ami Groover
» pleased the listening crowd and
when Mr. Peter Wolters got up to
speak everybody cheered. Mayor
.1. J. Spears was called upon and at
’ i last responded, saying that he wished
the brewery every success and would
nut mar the occasion with any
political remarks. Previous to these
speeches Mr. Herman Winters, form
erly with the Savannah brewery,
made a short talk, in which he pre
( . dieted a bright future for the Brans
wick Brewery and Ice Company.
’ The capital stock of the company
I is sloo,oooin addition to which there
are $50,000 in bonds bearing 7 per
' cent. The principal owners of the
company are Messrs. P. 11. Wolters,
Mayer & Ullman, C. Downing, Jr.,
W. E. Kay and A. S. Eichberg.
I Aiderman Herman Meycs and a
number of other prominent Savan
r nahians were on the grounds, all ol
’ whom seemed to enjoy themselves
hugely.
This brewery, with ail that it
means for Brunswick, is not the first
one ever in Glynn county for in
•Stephens’ History of Georgia,”
mention is made ol one tk it, in 1735,
was in operation on Jckyl Island
and supplied all this section of
country as far as Savannah, with
1
beer and ale. The ruins still stand
on Jekyl Island.
As The Post goes to press the fun
is still at its hcighth and speech after
speech is being made.
The day altogether has been a sue
( cess, and the opening of the brewery
I will long be remembered in this see
tion.
e
A big day for Brunswick !
I BRUNSWICK’3 SUBURBS.
r
A Post Reporter Has an Interesting
[. Interview With H. J. Simmons.
A Post reporter passed a few mo
inents this morning very pleasantly
in the oilice of Messrs. Wilson A-
Simmons, civil engineers and survey
ors, looking over maps of some new
suburban plots that have been laid
off around Brunswick during the
last few months. Mr. H J. Simmons,
( with bis usual courtesy, exhibitid
(> the work, and gave maty points of
information.
s
I rbana is the name of the nearest
r
suburb, a series ol'2Bo beautiful lots
II - .
ol odx 100 feet, interspersed through
out with streets sixty feet in width. It
lies on the side of Gloucester street
opposite Windsor park. Uibanais
about half a mile from the centre of
the city, with street cars in conven
n .
lent approach.
If Habersham park is three
quarters of a mile from the centre of
the city, between Dixville and
e Cochran avenue, two street ear
lines make it accessible. One hun
( died and forty-three lots of 50x100
, aredivided up by streets of sixty
an I ninety feet.
I Lawreneev.lie is about one mile
g out on either side of Central avenue
and between the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia and the Bruns
wick and Western railroads. On
e
either extremity there are. broad
avenues of 120 feet, and the new
streets there are sixty anil eighty
I feet wide. There are 591 lots in tliis
plat, the majority 50x100, with some
’ 90x180.
Nearly all the lots in these sub
g
urbs a'e choice building lots and al
ready many people have invested
with the view of building homes
e
there. Hundreds of now homes will
y
’ be built here during the coming
twelve months.

steady and healthy.
Messrs. Wilson and Simmons have
several more plats of ground that

STILL AT LARGE.
! The Effingham County Murderer
Not Yet Apprehended.
L
I The Friends of the Birds Will do
I Away wrth Trial by Jury if
They can Find Him--The
County Incensed.
Readers of The Po.t will rmnem
’ her the account of the Effingham
county tragedy which was published
lust Friday. It was one of the
bloodiest in the annals of crime and
’ the ollicers of the law have not yet
l» . r
succeeded in apprehending the mur
derer, Robert G. Norton.
e
The fact is Norton Is liable to re
main hidden away for weeks to come
—or, at least until his friends
feel confident that they need not
fear for his personal safety as a pris
! oner.
Just at present there are grave
doubts as to whether he would be
given the protection he should rc-
J ceive.
Indeed, from what some aitizens
, of Etliingham say, it would be the
height of imprudence for Norton to
, give himself up fortrial.
The probability s are too strong
that no trial would be granted him:
I that the result of his arrest would
be lynching.
The friends of the Bird boys ar'
said to be even more incensed than
they were when they received the
first tidings of the killing. Many
of them have become extremely bit
ter. They look upon Noiton, in the
words of the coroner's verdict, as n
"wilful murderer,” and announce
themselves as prepared to give him
the treatment accorded murderers in
wil I western settlements
They are said to have said that if
they can lay hands on him there w'll
lie no need of lawyers,or judge ami
jury; that the county will be saved
an unnecessary expense.
These remarks have come to the
I ears of the attorney engaged foi
Norton’s defense, and they do not
propose to allow their client to sur
I render until it is apparent that he
will be properly guarded from the
attacks of hot heads.
Sheriff Tarver is regarded as a
brave, conservative man. It is a
s
fact, nevertheless. that, if Norton
t was in his custody at present he
tJ would be unable to successfully re-
I sist the infurated companion of the
I I men he killed. While he would have
| the desire to protect him he would
not Jir.ve the means—and that fatal
to the prisoner.
j. “Norton is convinced,” said one of
I his attorneys tins morning, “that l.e
will be acquitted if tried before an
impartial jury. He maintains that
j he was thoroughly justified in all
, that he did; that he resorted to his
-
gun only as a last resort in the de
l fence of himself and his property.
B He will not leave the state. When
passion cools down, and we feel as
sured that the conservative element
5 of our citizens will not permit Eiling-
I ham's history to be blotted by the
. lynching of an innocent man, then
r he will be given up to the author-
, The friends of the Birds are mak
ing a vigilant hunt all through the
county. They are determined That
if he is in Etlingbam or near by they
I will find him.
Mr, R. H Brumby's Death.
' Mr. AI. Branhem received a tele
-5 grain last night from Maj. C. 11.
Smith, of Cartersville, announcing
L the death of Mr. R. 11. Brumby form
ely of this city. During Mr.
Brumby’s stay in Brunswick he

to learn of his death and will sympa
thize with his grief stricken widow
and children.

PROHIBITION MOVEMENT.
A Strong Fight Against Barrooms in
Georgia-
Evening Post Bl real’, )
17} East Alabama Street.,
Atlanta, Ga., July 22.—There is
going to be a big fight in the next
legislature for the suppression wf
bar-rooms in Georgia. A genera!
law making it illegal to sell whiskey
in quantities of less than one quart
will be asked for.
Five thousand petitions are now
being circulated over the state and
fifteen hundred ministers are at work
for the law. Judge John I). Cun
ningham, of Atlanta, is one of the
leaders in the movement, and he and
his co-laborers are very much in
earnest. The gentlemen who are at
the head of this movement think
that now is the time to press their
bill, the original package decision
having made the liquor question a
new issue. They also base hopes on
the fact that the Farmers’ Alliance
is against bar-keepers.
CLOSING UF THE CENSUS.
Census Supervisor Thibadeau is
closing up the work of the census as
rapidly as possible, a large force of
clerks being employed at the office
for this purpose.
On .'Saturday the corrected state
meat of the city's population was
made out, together with a portion of
the county’s, and sent on to Wash
ington. Mr. Thibadeau says the
corrected figures will make Atlanta’s
population a little larger than the
figures recently given and that the
county's population will be between
eighteen and nineteen thousand.
'The work of many of the enumer
ators is now being gone over and
needed corrections are bung made.
This will consume some length of
lime, and it is impossible to say just
when the work will be completed.
KILLED HIM ALMOST INSTANTLY.
Shortly before 1 o’clock yesterday
afternoon a negro man was killed by
an incoming freight train. This oc
curred on the Central railroad, a
short distance this side of the bar
racks. John Henry Webb, a preach
er, was walking alwng the track just
this side of Hancock’s crossing, when
t he train came up behind him, knock
ing him from the track and killing
him almost instantly. He was a
short, thick set man, about, thirty
• years old. An inquest will probably
be held this afternoon.
ARRESTED EOR WIFE BEATING.
Robert Bird, well known in At
lanta, is under arrest, charged with
having beaten his wife. lie stoutly
denies the charge and says he never
was guilty of such an enormity. He
was arrested some days ago for hav
ing misappropriated some funds he
collected for Mr. T. M. Taylor, the
scale manufacturer Mrs. Bird is
suffering greatly at her home on
Loyd street, from the effects of a
wound in the back of her head,
1 which she says her husband in
dieted. He is being held to see if
' anything serious results from the
wound. Stephens.

An Oceanic Exposition on St-
Simons.
i
A Proposition to Make this Popular
Resort Still More Attractive to
Visitors.—A Race Course
And an Exposition.
Here is a grand and impo.-ing
’ scheme.
It was wafted on the breezes to
the keen ears of the Post last night.
The Post, always nearest and
dearest to the people, is the first to
catch the vibrations of coming
events.
The plan'proposed is one to bring
St. Simons Island to the front.
St. Simons belongs to Brunswick
anil what ever benefits her delights
and benefits our people.
It is proposed to bring St. Simons
more promiently to the front as a
place of amusement and entertain
ment. This can be secured by lay
ing out and putting into shape a
race course one mile long near the
centre of the Island. Grand stands,
club rooms and stables of ample
proportions will he erected, t.nd dur
ing the merry month of May, turfs
men from all over the country will be
invited to come and contend for gold
and glory.
The possibilities in such an ar
rangement are pleasant to antici
pate.
It would be at a season of theyear
when noted stables from all parts of
the county could be secured, and the
magnificent climate of St. Simons
would make the most exhilarating
sports pleasant and enjoyable.
But that isn't all. .
It is fill thef proposed that
