SECONO TRIP
TO BRUNSWICK
City of Macon Will Leave for
Brunswick Tomorrow
Morning.
MERCHANTS ARE PLEASED
W;th the Success of the Trip and
Say More Boats Must be
Built at Once.
The City of Macon will leave for Bruns
wick with a large cargo of goods tomorrow
morning at daylight.
The first trip has been a success beyond
i the fondest hopes of the Macon Navigation
Company. It wm the first trip that a boat
has made to Brunswick and return since
the war, and now chose who said a few
months ago that navigation between Ma
con and the coast was impracticable, say
that more boats must be built. Every
merchant in the city is giving the new
enterprise, which bids fair to be of so
much benefit to Macon, all the business
that he possibly can.
The return trip to Brunswick will be
made with the full assurance that it will
be a success.
At the Landing at the for . of Sixth street
this morning the scene is all activity.
Deck hands are busy loading and unload
ing and a large crowd of interested on
lookers stand around to see the work.
Captain ’Miller was seen by a News report
er and said that he had run on lots of
boats, but he had never seen one than ran
as smoothly, and obeyed its helm better.
“We had no trouble with her at all,”
“and it was one of the quickest trips that
was &ver made from Macon to Brunswick
on the Ocmulgee.”
The distance from Macon to Brunswick
is 375 miles, and the actual running time
of the 'boat was -sixty-three hours and
twenty-seven minutes.
The boat will leave the landing tomor
row morning with about seventy-five tons
of merchandise 'for different points down
the river, and some of them will be car
ried on to Brunswick.
President Smith says that the merchants
of Macon are showing the right kind of
spirit in helping the line of boats, and
they all realize that its success means
much to Macon.
The schedule upon which the boat will
be run will be to leave Macon every other
week. Mr. Smith says that he is satisfied
that this schedule can be easily made.
Every 'business man in Macon Is thor
oughly alive to the importance of the es
tablishment of the -boat line on the Ocmul
gee, and Mr. Smith says -that it will not
be long before a meeting of the directors
will -be called and plans for the establish
ment of other .boats made.
“Nearly every 'business man I see says
that we must build more boats. We now
have a chance to get out of the noose the
railroads have held over us for so long,
and a god line of boats between Macon
and the sea coast means the saving of
thousands of dollars in freight every
year.”
The next trip that the boat makes a
large party of representative business men
o’s the city will go down to Brunswick and
return by rail. They all feel assured that
the territory that can be developed by the
successful operation of boats out of Ma
con, will ibe of vast -benefit. Timber lands
can now he worked for all they are worth.
Catpain Miller -and his crew are today
grooming the boat for the second trip.
There was no serious accident on the first
trip, but there are many little things that
will -have to 'be looked after and some few
minor changes made. The paddle wheel
was slightly damaged, but was repaired
before the boat made the return trip.

FOR CITY COURT.
Question is Who Will Succeed Judge Ross on
the Bench.
The Constitution this morning says:
The term of Judge John P. Ross, of the
city court will expire at the end of this
year, and, although this is some time off,
there is already talk -as to whether Judge
Ross will be a candidate to succeed him
self, and if he stands for reappointment
will any one oppose him. The appoint
ment is made by the governor and con
firmed by the senate. The term of office
14 four years an dthe salary $3,000. The
is four years and the salary $3,000. The
session pf the legislature it was increased
to $3,000.
It is generally believed that Judge -Ross
will not be adverse to succeeding himself.
As to who will be the next governor of
Georgia may have some bearing on who
will be the next judge of the city court,
for, as already stated, the judgeship is a
gubernatorial appointment.
Judge Ross is a young man, hut he is in
the eighth year of his Incumbency of the
office. He was first appointed by Governor
Northen, having been selected by the -Ma
con bar, after a heated contest, as its
choice. Toward the end of Judge Ross’s
first term, and when the time was near at
hand for another appointment, Judge Ross
found considerable oppositnion among
some of the members of the bar to his re
appointment, on the ground that his man
ner was too severe and strict. No fault
was or could be found with his ability and
character, both of which are of the highest
order. At a meeting of the bar Mr. L. D.
Moore was endorsed for Judge Ross' place.
Judge Ross did not contend in the meeting
for the bar’s endorsement, but he -present
ed his record to Governor Atkinson, and a
spirited contest ensued between Mr. Moore
and Judge Ross for the office. Governor
Atkinson reappointed Judge Ross, and in
the face of the fact that Mr. Moore bore
the endorsement of a majority of the m ru
bers of the bar. But Judge Ross also had
the endorsement of a number of lawyers
; and many citizens of all classes. Judge
| Ross has made an admirable judicial offi
; cer. He presides with great ability, im
partiality, ease and dignity, and is rarely
reversed by the supreme court.
The clerk of the court is appointed by
the judge. Thee position at present is
splendidly filled by Hon. Robert H. Smith.

GRAIN CONGRESS.
Purpose of Increasing Exports
of Southern Points Likely
to be Accomplished.
RAILROADS INTERESTED.
Southern Roads Expect to Profit by
Increased Tariff—What Was
Done at Convention.
• ————
The South and West Grain and Trade
Congress which met at Tampa last week
was attended by about forty delegates from
the Western and Southern states, but there
was no representation from Georgia.
The subject of discussion which attrac
ted most attention at this session of the
congress was the increase in the export
grain business from the 'West via the
Southern ports. It was stated on the floor
of the convention by Mr. Smith, manager
of the Charleston freight bureau, that as
the results of the efforts put forth by the
grain and trade congress at Charleston two
or three years ago the exports of grain
through that city, which amounted to lit
tle before that, were greatly increased, and
now move in considerable volume.
This business has been developed largely
by the Nashville, Chattanooga and iSt.
Louis Railway, in connection with the
Georgia railroad. The Southern railway
seems to be taking a lively interest in this
movement since it bought the Memphis
and Charleston railroad a few months ago,
and it is believed that the presence of Mr.
Haiden Miller, the assistant general
freight agent of the system at the Tampa
meeting indicates a purpose on the part
of the Southern to make a strong pull for
the export grain business, which now goes
to the South Atlantic coast largely by the
Louisville and Nashville. ~
The president of a leading line in the
southeeast recently said of this export
business:
While there is not much money for the
railroads in this business at the rates
which have to be made in order to com
pete with the lines to the East and to the
gulf, it is an important traffic, and will
be a great (benefit to this section when it
moves through the Southeast in great vol
unme. It cannot pass through this state
without paying toll to somebody, and that
means the disbursement of money. .Fur
thermore, the freight it pays to the rail
roads will be largely disbursed here. Two
thirds to three-fourth of the freight col
lected is disbursed in t.ie territory where
it is earned. This builds up the territory
and in the same proportion builds up the
railroads running through it. the ton
nage of the roads increases they are ena
bled to strengthen their equipment and to
compete better with the great trunk lines,
which are striving to carry the business
another way. When the channels of trade
are flooded there is a rich enundation of
the hanks.”
,It is believed that the Southern nailway
is .preparing to make rates which will
compete strongly with the eastbound trunk
lines for the export grain business, and
this will greatly accelerate the movement
which has already set tn.

McKinleys of Antrim.
Interesting Data About the Family of the
President.
In the County of Antrim —Ireland’s
northermost district—.there stands a com
fortable old square-built stone farm house
which was the cunabula gentis, or nursing
home, of the house of McKinley, and under
this venerable roof was born James Mc-
Kinley, pioneer of the family of America,
and ancestor of the president of the United
States.
The farm house stands on a slightly
rising ground. A hedge of tall thorn trees
masks the front until the long boheereen
or lane, with a sudden turn, brings the
traveler into the trim enclosure, half
lawn, half-garden, which surrounds the
entrance door. Behind the house rise a
brace of spreading elms. An old hearth
stone, now set up as a seat bears the in
scription, “W. McK., 1765” —the date of
the erection of the existing structure.
William McKinley (nephew of James
McKinley, the American immigrant) in
herited the old homestead, and, during the
troubulous times of 1798, threw in his lot,
as did very many Ulster Protestants with
the united Irishmen. He was a close
friend of Henry Joy McCracken, the lead
er of the Ulster rebels, and during the
summer of 1798 a party of yeomanry,
commanded, curiously enough, by a Cap
tain Hanna, descended upon Dervock farm
and captured McKinley and a quantity of
rebel arms and ammunition.
McKinley was taken to Coleraine, and
the country being under martial law, he
was tried by drumhead court martial and
shot in the market place, together with
three others.

Mrs. R. Gritzner.
Ladies who are troubled with corns,
bunions and ingrowing nails —and thej-e
are many of that sort —are advised to call
on Mrs. Gritzner,
Surgeon, Chiropodist and Pedicure.
Who understands her business beyond
question, having followed same for
ten years. Her operations are not
onlv painless, but she handles one’s feet
so gently that it is a pleasure and a com
fort to be treated by her. While we think
that our practitioners should qualify
themselves to doctor the feet as they do
other portions of the body, but as long as
they do not, the suffering are obliged to
patronize those who make foot diseases a
specialty. Ladies can be treated at their
homes. Charges very reasonable in all
cases. Call or address, Mrs. R. Gritzner,
718 Cherry street.
