Everybody will want to hear the I
nihilist agitator and Russian, Step I
niak, when he comes to lecture :
among us this winter.
It is a strange thing how one man
can stop a train and rob an express
car, but this late affair at Flomaton
proves that such a thing can be done, j
If some man will devise away to ■
put a stop to the ever increasing
credit system, which is proving such |
y. Curse to the merchants of Bruns

An exchange says, “King Humbert 1
of Italy is never so happy as when
on a fishing expedition. lie wil],
wait patiently for hours for a bite
and express unbounded gratification
when he has good luck.” His royal
I highness is easily pleased. He
should live in Brunswick, the iish-j
- ing drops are convenient and The
. Post will guarantee a catch of a
K hundred yellow tails any day.
The rainfall of the first part of
B this week was unusually large. It
confined almost entirely to the
ijjiaan 1 s "Uth ' ardrci the
W Jiest fall being in ''aMinnah an<l
fiuity.Thc signal nert ice observei s
£>ort at Savannah showed a fall of
inches in twenty four hours and
fv/total of 5.11 inches in two days.
Brunswick hail a goodly share of,
rain but there is no way of telling
how much.
A man in an eastern city stumped
his toe on a too prominent flagstone i
and falling on the pavement broke his
skull. A late cyclone in a western ,
city killed and wounded some half
a dozen people. Two more good rea
sons for making Brunswick your
home. In this favored city cyclones
are unknown and you are not in dan
ger of killing yourself by falling on
a pavement unless you take especial
pains to hunt the pavement up.
Is it not a well kown fact that the
New York Central railroad company
long ago determined to rid itself of
organized labor? The company has
assumed, and it assumes today, that I
the men who receive its wages owe :
to the company the allegiance which |
the slave owes to his master. In
this Mr. Webb has the sympathy of
every big corporation and trust in
the country. His attitude was notl
assumed hurriedly. The intelligent
public believes that it was and is part
of a preconceived plan.—New York
World.
In many of the countries of Europe
railroads and telegraph lines are own
cd and operated by govcrnmeuts.lt is
urged in this country that such
control would be unrepublicaa. r.nd
would place too much power in the
hands of the government. On the
other side again it is claimed that
railroads owned by the nation would
have no dividends to earn for private
individuals, and wouid give satisfac
tion if they only paid expenses. In
that case shorter hours and better
wages would result forJtLe employees
and there would be no occasion for
strikes. If the government owned the
roads three relays of men working
eight hours a day would take the
place of the two relays working
twelve hours each that now ojierate
trains on various roa<la with an all
night service.
truck farming.
The census gives Mobile the larg
est population of any city in Ala
hama. The Birmingham Age Her
ald commenting on the subject says: j
“One of the principal features that '
has helped to build up Mobile is the I
shipment of vegetables from that I
port, and the excessive truck farm-1
ing that is carried on in the adjacent
country. The total value of the veg
etable crop of 188!)-9O was $458,000.”
This same truck fanning is som<|
thing that should be carried on in
and about Brunswick. There is no
climate or soil any better adapted to
this business than ours, and instead |
of having shipped to us all the veg- j
etables we use. there should be rais
ed in Glynn county all its population
could use and thousands of dollars |
worth to ship away.
It is rather remarkable that no
truck farming has been done here !
Tin: Post feels certain that this in
dustry engaged in by men who tin j
derstand their business would yield
a larger per cent for the work and |
capital invested than any other one
thing. •
It is giving attention to these seem
ingly small things that will make our !
city and county and rich,while truck
farming may seem a small business
it will not be many years until every
! acre of grtund adjacent to Bruns
! wick will will be occupied by thrifty
I gardeners making lots of money and
we will then wonder why we did not
j buy these binds and engage in that
; business.
The thoughtful man will ponder
' this question of truck farming well j
• and if he is longheaded and is not
already engaged in a good business
he will buy him a ten acre lot and go
to gardening.
Who’ll be the first now to take |
I hold of this business.

HIE EVENING POST: FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 5. 1890.
Execution by <>aa.
“Hanging is played out” is true in a
sense not inennt by th-- notorious crim .
Inal who gave the cxpr«>ssion currency. ;
As a metlKsl of capital punishment it '
is obnoxious to the humane sense of
modern times. By “humane sense" is I
not meant the sickly sentiment that :
condones crime and crowns tlig mur- I
derer with flowers, but that educated,
civilized opinion which believes in a I
death penalty and favors its execution
in the least barbarous way. Besides
the possible accidents due to tin- bung-.'
ling of olilcials, banging has many ac j
eesHories of an uunecesrarily disagree
able and painful character. Electric!
ty as a death agent is still more uncer
tain than the rope, and hideously re
volting and cruel in' its application.
Paganism never contrived a torture
worse than the deliberate seating, the |
tedious strapping, the painstaking ad 1
justment, the buzzing and the creep- |
ing and the writhing of the death deal
I ing current. The method- has not are I
! deeming feature, and were it not for |
| the glamor of novelty thrown around i
j it by certain pseudo-scientists it would
| S[K-c<lily drop out of consideration.
My medical friend, Dr. 11. C. Stewart,
suggests a .method of penal death
| which is practicable, simple, cheap,
I certain and humane. It contemplates
the construction in each prison of a
death cell—a cell differing from others I
only in having properly contrived ad
justments to make it relatively air |
j tight when needed, into which shad
run a number of gas pipes from the or
dinary (bi-carburctted hydrogen) gas
main, or better still, from a retort
■ generating stiffieient carbonic acid gas
This cell can be lifted up like other
cells its a place of confinement. The
condemned van occupy it weeks or
months, uncertain of his day of doom.
When tlie fatal hour arrives the sir riff
sitters and reads the solemn sentence,
relatives and friends take their last
farewell, the minister of spiritual com
fort does his last sad offices, and suita
Ijle time is given the prisoner for relief
! tion. Then the cell is closed tight, tin
oocks are turned, ami unconscious of
his approaching end the victim falls
asleep to wake no more on earth. By I
I this form of asphyxiation death is ab- i
! solutely painless, while the majesty of!
I the law, punitive and deterrent, is i
! sustained. Representative Wherry in I
1 Philadelphia Press.

One of the most brilliantly colored I
snakes that exist has been mlded to the I
collection In the reptile 1 louse in the I
! zoological gardens. It has a black
, color witli regularly nrrangtsl ringt of 1
: yellow and red. the texture and colors !
! together producing an effect much like i
1 that of a strip of freshly cleaned oil-
I doth. This snake is one of the most
I venomous, and its bright lines may be
i regarded as a warning of its dangerous
: qualities.
Any snake eating bird or mammal , 1
! would know from hereditary experience ■
' that it, would be a risky affair to med
I die with such a creature, so tlie danger
I signal benefits both alike, though we
| cannot sup[«>se that the snake was in
: flueneed by any amiable intention in,
I so to speak, assuming this conspicuous
| dress.
The proof that this is really an ex
ample of “warning colors" is afforded
by the existence also in South America ■
l of another snake colored like the Eiaps,
but perfectly harmless. The snake
trades upon the deadly reputation of
Elaps, and is let alone in consequence
of its being mistaken for it. It is the
j ass in the lion's skin with a happier
! faje. —London News.
The Accommodating: Vaulit Agent.
Suppose a man is going in for yacht
j ing. He wants a certain sort of boat,
! but does not know just where he can
get exactly what lie wants. He goes to
u yacht agent an I tells him wliat lie
; wants and about 1 r»w mueh he is will
\ ing to pay. The available yachts of
i the two great yachting navies of the
world are offered for his inspection,
j Finally he decides on a yacht, and then !
I nil he bibs to do is to give the agent his i
j check. Now as to manning her. A !
list of all the available sailing masters
' in the country is spread before him,
! with their records, ami a list of yacht
1 sailors who have registered at the
! agency. In short, all he has to do is to
; say to the agent, “1 want such and
I such a yacht, muiined and ready for
! sea at such and such a time and place."
On tile appointed day he finds his yacht
1 ready for him. —New York Tribune.
Kviiivdy u stye.
1 That quite common trouble on the
edge of t!ie eyelid, a stye, is tin- result
of inflammation of the small glands or
follu-les. \ piece of ice ps the best ■
abortive remedy. If the stye is not
checked at the start on the second or
third day it would be well to draw out
with a pair of tweezers two or three of
the hairs in the eenter of the swelling.
In this way it is often possible to evacu-
