OLYNN COUNTY.
THE ISSUE THAT CONFRONTS US.
Thera is a grave, solemn issue to be
tried in our county of Glynn. It con
cerns every man In the county; and
there is turn, who can say be U
not a party to it. It* litiwl settletatnl
Will determine whether the future
history of our community shall he a
brilliant record of progress or a miser
able tale of Inglorious downfall. It is
an issue that bus been tried iri many
many ages, and by many
that
side on which his interest. Has, it
needs no techuica! phraseology to e*
press the principles upon which it is
based, and no abstruse argument to
distinguish the right from the wrong
sfide. Shall the people rule, or shall
one nnn rub? This is the issue to hr
tried at the elections in this county
for the year ISOS. It is not a petty
issue of persona and political factions,
it is an issue that takes hold of the
very foundations oi our public policy.
On the side of popular government
and free citizenship stands tils Good
Government Club. On the side oi
autocracy and une-man power stands
the “King.” Citizens of Glynn coud'tj,
possessors of that mighty weapon,
the ballot; on which aide ilo you
stand? It may be that your ancestor*
have shouldered the musket and voted
lead ballots on the side of liberty. Are
you willing to shoulder the dignity
of your citizenship and vote paper
ballots In defence of the same cause?
That this county has been ruled by
the hand of one man, is a proposition
that those familiar with public aiVairs
will not undertake to dispute. Would
you call it in question? Go to those
gentlemen who have served on the city
council and n-k them who has dictated
their ordinanc es and resolutions, and
who has nominated those whom
they elected to city cili ces. There are
some of them who may have the Cour
age to look the truth squarely in the
face and teli you. Go to those who
served as teachers in the public
aid
both? Flow is it, and why iait, that,
no matter what question has
been submitted to the public, every
public official arid employe tins lined
up in solid phalanx on the same side?
Why this perfect unanmlty of senti
ment, unless it ba that it was after all,
only the sentiment of cue man? Do
you know a man whose ffotuciat con
dition has led him to expect the early
approach of the receiver? Po and ask
him whether or not he has free to vote
as he pleases. Ask him for bis candid
opinion as to the probability of aDy
connection existing between our po
litical and our judicial affairs. Do
you know a man who ha# been elected
to any position iu the public service?
Go and ask him whose favor he first
solicited, Doyoukoow a naan who
bat been discharged from any position
in thg public servlet ? Go undask him
whose disfavor be incurred.
We are not discussing, atsthis time,
the question of corrupt government.
It has been ditcuesed. Its detnils'bave
been thoroughly ventilated. We sr -
not discussing the public or privrte
characters of individuals. They, too,
have been discussed. They will con
tinue to he discussed long after this
issue has been settled. The
spent eighty years trying to
whether Napoleon was a
goo-l man or an infamously jflj
whether he was the conium®|
genius or the nursling of opporTnw^
The world has not yet aijsreed on ih n
matters. Ircidentially, however, tin
great free peoples of Europe, neglect
ing these minor details and seeing
that the great issue was national lib
erty and not personal character, arm s,
in theii majesty, snd hurled the would
be dictator of the world Into a bottoni
tesß abyss of innocents desuetude,
then discussed his character at their
leisure.
Citizens of Glynn county, it is mJ|
much of a question, after all, vlus..
our little dictator is a good <gff \
hail man. W hether we need
good nr bail, is a very grave
ahall we have public officials wTW
of the popular
' wr s'** ll
a royal throne, tin n
their backs on the people and do the
bidding of one man? Shall wa rees
tablish political freedom or shall we
submit to political servitude? This it
the issue. What shall we it?
Can there be a doubt as to the an
swer? The opportunity is now ripe.
“The Ring" is now in the times of its
last agony. They are awaiting the
final catastrophe. 'They have bolted
the democratic party. Their members
of the democratic executive committee
have made one desperate grasp at *
perpetuation of power. They have
denied the sovereign right of the peo
ple to assemble in mass meeting, and
ignored the very power that elected
them.
No, there can he no doubt as to itie*
answer. With phalanxes more solid
Chan “the Ring" ever marched to the
support uf their boss, the people are
now marching to the support of polit
ic*! freedom.
The city election contest pro
ceed. Brunswick never gets rid of
a
politics.

OUGHT TO BE, SQUELCHED.
The good people of New York ought
to devise some means for squelching
the Evening Post, of that city. It is
the vilest sheet now being issued in
America, the “Hash” society weeklies
and scandal organs not excepted. The
Post, alone of all the papers in this
country, has cast aspersions on the
character of Fitzbugh Lee, and while
all the publications of the land have
been singing the ex-confederate’s
praises, has dubbed him a “comical
swashbuckler." This is the same mis
erable sheet which has openly
espoused the cause of ,Spain from
the beginning of the present
trouble*, and which, to cap the climax
of its infamy, has charged Captain
Sigsbee anil hie brave officers with the
rerpjiisibility for the destruction of
the Maine. Today it stands alone in
the mucky solitude ot its foulness,
and its editor, Godkin, a modern
Benedict Arnold, but without that
traitor’s personal courage, exists in
the loathing and contempt of every re
apretah'e newspaper man in Christen
dom.
B. talk is Spanish amnia-

Many an active and willingheiperin the
cfnirch Is too often an unconscious bin
dertr in the gospel. Let ua each try to
find out how we may have hindered, that
we may do so no more. A vexation arises,
and our expressions of impatience hinder
otiiers from taking it patiently. Disap
pointment, ailment or even weather de
presses us. and our look and tone of de
pression hinders others from maintaining
a cheerful and thankful spirit. We let out
a fearing or discouraged remark, and an
other’s hope and teal ia wet-blanketed.
“What man Is there that U fearful and
faint hearted? let him go or return into
his house lest his brethren's heart faint as
well as hie heart." 'We say an unkind

They are taken away by the disease
which causes over oue-sixth of all !he
deaths iu the world—the diaea e which
doctors call consumption. There is
absolutely no reason in the world why
consumption should be fatal— why it
should he even serious. It is a disease
ot the blood, and can he cured abso
lutely and always by purifying and en
riching the blood. The only excep
tion to ibis is the case where the dis
ease baa beeq neglected and improp
erly treated until it is stronger than
the body—until the body ha- become
so weak as to have lost the ability ro
recuperate. Dr. Fierce’s Golden Med

Strange iVUost story.
A remarkable ghost story comes from
Freedom, a small village three mile*
from Kaveuna, 0., which is puzzling a
great many people. A family moved in
to an old house which bad not been oc
cupied for some time. They were stran
gers. After they had been in the village
about a week they packed up and moved
out of the house, which they claimed
was haunted. They had no children,
but according to their story they were
kept awake all night by agonizing cries
of a baby and other weird noises.—

To Study the Wild Men of Borneo.
The wild man of Borneo h about to
make the acquaintance of a big Irish
scientific expedition. Dr. Hoddon of the
Royal College of Science will leed a
large party of explorers into the wild

exhaustively as bis retiring nature will
permit.
Tho expedition is said to be the most
thoroughly equipped one that ever has
gone anywhere for anthropological in
vestigation.—New York Press.
BOTANY BAY HISTORY
—tr~ — f r-p:'
THE TRUE STORY ©F THE NOTORI
OUS SOUTH SEA SUE.
No Convict Was Ewr fiiudifd tlifM, N>
Battlement Ever Made There, and It
Hat* Never Had Anything; to Do With.
Kngland’ft Penal System.
The Erst convict fleet sailed away
from England iu May, 1 Da7, called at
Rio Janeiro and arrived ot Botany Bay
early in January, 1788. Iu the Mb -t
were a 20 gon frigate, an armed tender,
three storeshipa and siy transports, far
the largest flees that ever sailed to, the
South sea, though the largest vessel
measured only 450 tons and the small
est only 270 tons.
On the six small transports for this
long, tropical voyage were packed con
victs numbering 584 men and 192 wom
en. There wore also carried IGB marines
and 10 officers, u few surgeons pud-me
chanics, the wive* of 40 of the marines
and 13. children, the offspring of c'g|
victs. Approximately 1,000 persons
therefore went to found the colony in
the newest world less than 110 years
old. Captain Philip of the British navy
was placed in command of the expedi
tion and given a commission as governor
aDd captain general of New South
Wales.
It is easy for the visitor of to
understand the blank dismay thaPßiip
must have felt wheu the fleet fluc’l
iuto Botany Bay and he saw for Bib
first time the place which had been
recommended to him as tho spot for set
tlement. It had been selected by the ad
vice of Captain Cook, whose botanists
had been so delighted with the profu
sion of new plants they found there that
they had given it the expressive name.
Philip found on first examination that
a more unsuitable site for anew settle-,
merit hardly could have been chosen.
The bay was shallow, there was no
good anchorage, there was no good wa
ter, and the adjacent land was not fer
tile, except for botanical specimens.
Leaving the fleet anchored iu the bay.
Philip started rip the coast in hi-tender
to hunt for a bettor home. Nine miles
to the northward Ire found himself fac
ing those great gates now known as
Sydney head, which Cook had seen
from a distance, and, satisfied with
Ootany Bay, had marked on his chart
a posgil.de harbor for small bdtbi.
Philip rounded the south head arid was
amazed to see opening before
buys of Port Jackson —
m w—famed the world over as
harbor iu the seven seas and dwMB
for that distinction by few. Three
of exploration left no possible dmtlß
that this was the place to be sck-otetO
and Philip returned at once to Botany.
The fleet was standing out of the bay,
when two French frigates appeared in
the offing. They (Hire an exploring party
under Lom to do la Pcrouse, wit lions
hostile iutentioua, which wa an im
mense relief to the colonists. Botany
Bay was left to the Frenchmen. They
refreshed and refitted there, staying un
til March, and burying on shore one of
their company, the naturalist of tbu,x
pedition, who died of wound* received
in an encounter with the natives of an
island they had tonebed. A few months
later the French expedition wan ship
wrecked, and every one of the crew was
murdered by the natives uf Yauikc.ro,
one of the Santa Cruz islands, In 1825
a monument was erected by the French
government to tho memory of the com
mander of the expedition at Botany
Bay,
This is all of tho story of Botany Bay,
a name long infamous because of its as
sociation with convict transportation.
No convict ever wan landed there, no
settlement eve r was made there, and it
never had auy thing more to do with the
“system” than I have related. It is a
oircuiar bay, with .an entrance so wide
as to leave it almost an open roadstead.
The shores are flat, low, sandy and un
interesting.
When I went there not long ago, the
tide wat out anl the beach was foul
! with all sorts of drift*. One peninsula,
I which jnts between the hay and the
ocean, has been reserved for noxious
trades, and they will elbow the obelisk
erected to the memory of Captain Cook,
so that in the future the bay will be no
more savory than its name has bee*,
unjustly, in the past. The French mon
ument is at the other side of tho en
trance to tho bay.
It was the 26tb of January, 1788,
wheu the fleet of Governor Arthur
Philip entered what is now Sydney har
bor. The settlement of the continent of
Australia was begun.—Chicago Record.
He Should Have Brought Them.
A doctor tell 3 a good story in connec
tion with a lad who, until recently,
was in his employ. It was part of bis
duties to answer the surgery bell and
to usher the prospective patients into
the consulting room. Oue morning
there presented himself at the surgery
entrance a mechanic with whom But
tons was on speaking terms.
“Hello, Jackson!” he remarked.
“What’s the matter with ye?”
“Ob, 1 just want to see the doctor,”
replied the visitor.
“Have yer brought yer symptom:
with yer?” inquired Buttons. “That’s
the fust thing he’ll ask yer about. If ye
ain’t brought ’em, ye’d better pop back,
aa get ’em. He won’t be down for a
quarter of an hour, an he’s awful per
tikler about ’em .”
“And would you believe it?” adds
the doctor, “that fellow was actually
about to act on the boy s advice wheu
1 entered the surgery I”—Pearson's
Weekly.
The citizt?ns of Berlin have a sum
mary method of stopping the dangerous
practice of carrying sticks and umbrel
las horizontally. As soon as a man
tucks his umbrella under his arm he
will promptly feel a quick blow on it
from behind. There is no nse in his get
ting angry with the person who strikes
the blow, because public opinion sanc
tions his conduct.

This information cast Die ether wom

because a certain' y< aeg man had prom

would not have him see her as she then
looked for the whole railroad. The mm

“iihe says that she is going to con>4|

said one of them. “She is curling her

again. It is an irupg-dtion to have only
a little hit of a cubby bolo reserved for
women, while the men have all the
room they need. I’m going to sue the
road.” ' .
An indignant discussion followed,
and just as the tnmi was pulling idto
New York the woman made her
appearance. Conscious that not a single
flaw could be found in her toilet, she
ignored the angry glances of the other
women. It was too late for them to
make elaborate toilets, and the men
withdrew from the smoking room, so
that they might ac least use the mirrors
to set their hats on straight. They
trailed after the wise woman as ahe left

stabbed her she would have bi coisMi
