big Crop of Irish POtatOes--A Phos-
phate Elevator.
Brunswick, Ga. Feb. 9.-GIynn county
win produce more Irish potatoes this year
than during her entire previous history.
1t is expected that 10000 barrels win be
raised. Messrs Lewis w. Beach and IL.
II. Harvey have planted at "Marisla,"
their st. Simons Island plantation, $50
barrels of seed potatoes. These cover
about fifty acres of ground. They calcu-
late to make about thirty barrels to the
acre, and market them for IS per barrel.
The potatoes will be ready for shipment
the first week in May.
1t is rumored in a fairly reliable manner
that the Plant System will erect a phos-
phate elevator on the new dock property
they are now building on Academy creek.
Two years ago the elevator was figured
on and plans submitted. The movement
was laid aside until the present improve
ments got under way and now the Discus
sion is on again The elevator is needed
here. Phosphate shipments are going
ahead wonderfully, but the same crude
methods of loading which have prevailed
for years, are in force. An elevator here
would tend to equaliZe loading facilities
with Fernandina. where the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsular Railroad have good
one on constant use.
Brobston Fendig & Co., announce to-
night having sold Glynn county a ZOO
acre farm for convicts.
The land is situated at the six-mile
crossing and bounded on one side by the
Southern Railway and on the other by
the Plant System. Commissioner II. H.
Harvey says the land will be developed
into a model farm. Its location between
both railroad lines is expected to help ad-
vertise Brunswick by keeping on exhibit
ton to travellers a model farm, showing
the fertility of Glynn county soil. The
convicts are now quartered at Dover
Hall, a private plantation
The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius is still
in port. 1t is regarded here as probable
that an expedition is liable to start out
from near Brunswick at any moment af-
ter nightfall. Satilla river near the Flor
ida Central and Peninsular bridge is sup
posed to be the spot where previous expe-
ditions sailed from. The point is practi-
cally inaccessible for boats over four feet

Nicolas Brown stabbed Henry Waite un-

Brown was working an example on the
blackboard. His figures were wrong. He
rubbed them out quickly. The teacher
asked what result was shown. Brown
said he had the correct result. Waite

Brown slapped Waite, Waite resisted the
attack and Brown stabbed him under tht
