HANY CALL TO EXPRESS APPROVAL Fitness and Ability of Capt. Hllr* For » the Place I* Recognized—What Capt. Seay Has to Say. The announcement made yesterday that Capt.

Hiles was approved by citizens. Many prominent citizens called on Capt. Hiles, and assuied of their warm support for the office. They all seemed to think that he was the very best man upon whom all interests, factions and voters could unite. Some of the gentlemen who have been urging Capt. Hiles to enter the race, and who circulated freely among people of all classes in all parts of the city said last night that they had heard much favorable comment from sources they had not expected. In fact, there seem ed as far as they could learn an almost unanimous sentiment in favor of harmon izing on some good man like Capt. Hiles. All recognize the fitness and ability of Capt. Hiles for the office. It is cer tain that his many friends and sup porters will rally in such numbers that he will, if he runs, be as surely elected as the sun shines, CAPT. SEAY DON’T KNOW. Capt.

Delightful Visit to Brunswick—Was Roy ally Entertain d. Capt. J. J. Seay .returned yesterday from a delightful trip to Brunswick. He was royally treated while in the city by the sea. He visited the big ship “Wenning Hall’’while in Brunswick. It is being loaded with 11,500 bales of cotton for English ports. The jovial captain of the ship gave a big dining on board at which Capt. Seay was a guest of honor. One of the remarkable things about tbe “Wenning Hall’’is that it has a crew of sailors of ten different nationalities. Among them are Lascars, Chinese, Por tugese, Scotchmen, Nautchmen, Cey lonese, etc. They were taken on while the ship was at the island of Ceylon for a cargo of tea and coffee. The captain says they canuot talk to one another, and he has been hoping they would de sert, but they are determined to stay with him until he takes them back to Ceylon. Capt. Seay says the Lascars are most the treacherous and “evil-eyed’’ fellows he ever looked at. While away Capt. Seay, also, hob nobbed with the residents of the million aire resort, Jekyl Island. He tells some interesting stories about the pheasants and other game of the island. It seems the summers are too hot for the pbeas ants to thrive. Every fall the million aires buy 4,000 pheasants trapped in the up country, and turn them lore on the island to shoot at their pleasure. To Cure A Cold Id One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

In the Biblical story of “Samson and Delilah’’ which Mr. Downing will play here next Monday at the opera house Is a play which makes Delilah a loving woman. Through her it is true, Samson is shorn of his hair and strength, but she protects his aged father, she obtains from Lameoh the promise that Samson’s life shall be respected, she fights against the strongest appeals to her patriotism until extreme pressure is brought to bear; at the moment when’her blandish, ments have wrested tbe secret of his great strength, which is in his hair, fromhis lips, the spectator is led to be lieve that she might not have revealed it, were it rot that tbe craft of a Philistine had led to another woman’s presence and cognizance. After the deed is done she spurns re ward of gold and jewels and declares her remorse and when Samson is blinded and put in the the dungeon she forswears her country and its gods and denounces its King and people.
