THE BRUNSWICK NEWS. VOLUME 1. NUMBER 96. RECORDER GOFF TALKS ABOUT ANARCHY AND FRENCH REVOLUTION SPEECH CAUSES A BIG SI. NEW YORK RECORDER SAYS THE ARISTOCRACY ARE THE REAL ANARCHISTS. Nobles Amuse Themselves in Luxury and Wealth, He Says, While the Poor Starve. New York. Jan. 15.—Recorder Golf delivered an address before the Nine teenth Century Club on “Anarchy,” today, which is attracting considera ble attention here. In part the re corder said: "For us who are gathered here in this well-appointed and beautiful chamber, under the glare of electric lights, it is perfectly proper to agree that anarchy is abominable. We would be false to our surroundings if we did not We are all well dressed and pretty well-to-do financially, and it is only natural for us to take tne position of the party in possession. 1 think we assume a little too much if we make the mistake of congratulat ing ourselves on the present state of our society or our position in it. The aristocracy and nobility of France took the same position just before -the revolution in regard to What they balled their rights, put was it not their lives which caused {hat bloody revolution? The nobles amused them selves in luxury and wealth while the poor starved. Who were the anar chists? The people or they? The nobles, and not the people, were the anarchists. You cannot extirpate* ideas by legislation. Laws never made men and women virtuous. Do not endeavor to repress an idea. If an idea is right it will triumph and repressive methods will prove only so much fuel to feed the flames. When wrong, ideas die of themselves, fn dealing with anarchy let us remem ber tnat if our government is founded on righteousness, then anarchy is a craze, and this craze will pass as have other crazes in the world's his tory.” NITROGLYCERINE EXPLODES WITH FEARFUL RESULT A Big Hole in the Ground All That Was Left to Tell the Story.

The jail was stoutly defend ed by a strong guard under Sheriff Colline and an exciting time fol lowed. The object of the lynching party was to get Charles Gaskins, colored, who killed James Ryan last summer. When the mob made a demand for Gaskins the sheriff refused and the mob attempted to take the negro. They could get no further. Windows were broken in the hope of making an entrance, but this proved futile. Finally dynamite was used. A car tridge of the exposive was thrown, but fell short. One of the guards ran to get it, and was shot and wound ed by the infuriated mob. As day was breaking the would-be lynchers disappeared. Governor Beckham this morning ordered the Frankfort military com pany and a detail of the Lexington battery to Flemingsbnrg to protect the negro. SHOULD CHANGE SCHEDULE. Southern Train Never Arrives on Time These Days. It would be a good idea for the Southern Railway to change its sched ule between Atlanta and Brunswick, and then our citizens would not ex pect their mail two or three hours before it arrives. For the past month both the morn ing and evening Southern trains have been reaching Brunswick from one to four hours late. It is not oc casionally that the trains are late; but an every day occurrence. The fact of the matter is, as a News reporter understands it, the Southern simply has on a faster schedule be tween Atlanta and Brunswick than they are able to make, and our people are greatly inconvenienced by it.

BRUNSWICK'S BAR PAYS FITTING TRIBUTE RESOLUTION ON THE DEATH OF JUDGE ROBERT FALLIGANT PASSED YESTERDAY IN THE COURT ROOM. JUDGES AND ATTORNEYS ALSO PAY A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO THE DECEASED JUDGE—TRI BUTE GIVEN IN FULL. The following was read and adopted, in the superior court room yesterday afternoon. To the Hon. Joseph W. Bonnet, Judge Superior Court, Brunswick Judicial Circuit: The undersigned, the committee of the Bar of Brunswick, appointed by Your Honor to recommend suitable action in honor of the memory of our deceased brother, Judge Robert Falli gant, respectfully report the following tr.omorial: Our brother, an officer of this court in the years gone by, a practitioner oi this circuit, and this court, and in the last years of his life wearing the robes of judicial office, purely and worthily, wronging no man, yielding to every man in the hight forum of public justice according to his best judgment, his dues, commanding by his lofty ideas of right and justice, deepest reverence and respect for the judiciary, has fallen asleep. In tnat final court he must receive a merciful judgment, for he is to he judged by the judgments he gave. It was a pleasure to practice law in the courts presided over by him. While order ever obtained, yet it was ever a love feas£. There was no military disci pline in his court. It had its place in war and he was there and knew it. There was no rebuking, no order ing, no dictating to his bar. They were treated as equals. He made his bar what the old judges made the bar, and what it ever should he, the offi cers, the parts, the equals of the court, the only way to make a bar useful and good, and high and great. One of the chief reasons which has made the Savannah bar, over which he ar.d the like of him have presided so long, second to none in ethics, and in practice, and in point of legal at taiument. The lawyer who wearied him with an oft read decision or a repeated argument, realized the fact only when the bar would assemble ar the judge’s room that night, when the judge would tell a fitting anec dote at his expense. Your committee enjoyed the very great pleasure of sometimes practicing law in his cir cuit, and the judgment of disappro val, whether upon your pet proposi tion, or hasty objection, was said so kindly and in such manner, as that you felt there was at least merit in it, and the crowd was never admon ished that there was none, but rather the impression he created that the court itself was in doubt. Everybody who knew Judge Falligant and whose love was worthy, learned to love him. When the Rev. Sam Jones went to Savannah and made war on courts and jurors and officers, he came away in love with Judge Falligant, and since hiß death has paid a noble and beauti ful tribute to his memory. The tired body and the weary brain which clung to the active performance of the duties of nis office, alas, too long, with a sense of duty not less strong than that which gave him amid the storm of shot and shell at Marye’s Heights, Gold Harbor, imper ishable renown, are at rest. The forgetfulness of self, the devo tion to others which on those Marye’s Heights, where his battery was deal ing out death, led him to stop its firing, and facing almost certain death, rush between the lines and hear the wounded body of an enemy to a place of safety, a deed so brave, so generous, that the hell of war was hushed in impulsive reyerence for a great act grandly done, was charac teristic of his life. An orator of magnetic quality in whatever form he exercised it, master of humor and pathos, too gentle of heart to knowingly wound an oppon ent, he was in all his career, that BRITISH TRANSPORT MAY HAVE BEEN BLOWN UP BY A BOER SPY. CHARLESTON 10 GETS9O,OOO MOODY REPORTS RESOLUTION WHICH HOUSE PASSES. Washington, Jan. 15. —In the house today Mr. Moody, of Massachusetts, reported a joint resolution appropri ating $90,0(10 to the government ex hibit at the Charleston exposition. Mr. Payne, of New York, opposed the measure, but Mr. Moody said that with this resolution the government expense at Charleston would cease. The resolution passed. A bill allowing the redemption of war revenue taxes within two years was passed. The secretary of the treasury is authorized by the resolu tion to redeem checks and drafts with revenue stamps thereon after such stamps are cancelled. ADMIRAL SCHLEY AS THE GUEST OF KNIGHT TEMPLARS Savannah, Ga., Jan. IT. —This has been a very quiet day with Admiral and Mrs. Schley. They spemt the morning and the afternoon at the home of their host and hostess, Gen eral and Mrs. W. W. Gordon, resting after the many social attentions that have been shown them during the week. This evening Admiral Schley will he the uest of Palestine Commandery, Knights Templar, and will witness the conferring of the Order of the Temple. The Order of the Red Cross is to be conferred before the arrival of the guest of the evening. At 10 o’clock there will be a reception by the Knight Templars complimentary to Admiral and Mrs. Schley at Masonic Temple. noblest product of our highest civili zation, a gentleman, a word which means so many things, as true man, honest man, loving man, and so he earned this tribute, which is worth the long struggle of a life time to earn, and which we, in common with all who know him, sadly, reverently lay upon his grave “that he made the world better for his life In it.” Great lawyers may have adorned the bench and bar than he, hut truer men, more honest men, with higher ideals of both bench and bar, and their noble place in the world's history, never have lived than he. It was a favorite expression of Judge Falligant that, when nis bark put out from shore he would have no mourning in the port, and that he hoped to meet his Pilot face to face. And the Great Pilot who died for men must have safely conducted into the harbor the bark carrying tne soul which had offered life for his fellows. And in that land where there are gathered such soldiers as David and Saul arid Bruce and Washington, and Grant and Lee, there must have been someone ready and willing to come out between the lines and conduct him to a place of safety. The members of this committee, and many other members of this bar, knew him intimately, of his public life all Knew, for it was an open book; and now this liar, in loving reverence for his many virtues, places this tri bute on his grave. C. P. GOODYEAR, Chairman. LOURTLAND SYMMES, W. E. KAY. Committee. After the reading of the resolution by the chairman, eulogies were deliv ered by Attorneys W. E. Kay and D.W. W. Krauss, and a touching address made by Judge Seabrook, of the Atlan tic circuit* who had been presiding in the superior court during the early part of the day. In adopting the res olution and ordering same spread on the minutes of the court, Judge Ben net, in a few well chosen words, paid a beautiful tribute to his deceased brother on the bench. PRICE FIVE CENTS. MANY MULES FOUNDJLOATING VESSEL ARRIVING AT NEW OR LEANS REPORTS HAVING SEEN DEAD MULES. A British Transport is Now Overdue and It is Thought That She Has Been Destroyed. New Orleans, Jan. 15. —It is be lieved in shipping circles here that the British transport laden with Amer ican mules, bound for South Africa, has been either interceptede and blown up by a Boor spy in the Gulf of Mexico or has foundered. A schooner arriving on the lower coast reports hundreds of dead mules float ing for a distance of thirty miles. The more conservative elements at tribute the floating carcasses to a dis aster to one of the British vessels dur ing the storms of the past week. Dis patches rom Quintan, Texas, which is only a short distance south of Fort Bads, says the schooner Olga put in at Matagorda bay for shelter from a fierce gale that is blowing on the gulf and that Captain Peters reports hav ing seen long rows of cattle and mules floating in the water. He describes the range of dead stock as covering at least thirty miles. Matthew Warring, of the Eider Dempster Steamer Company, which furnishes many of the British trans ports, states that all their transports are accounted for except the one sail ing from here three days ago. The re cent attempt to blow up the British transport Mechanican.at this port is recalled by those persons who incline to the opinion that the British trans port has been blown up. The atteinpt to destroy the Mechanican was charg ed to Boer agents. ANOTHER CANAL PLAN OFFERED TO SENATE “Mandigo Route” Will be the One to be Proposed.

No War While He is Cooped Up in the White House. Washington, Jan. 15. —Two Boston men who called on the president last week took occasion to say that they had heard that there might be trouble with some foreign countries over the Monroe doctrine, and they felt that they should express the hope that the president woti.d endeavor to preserve peace. “War!” exclaimed the president. "Do you think I’m going to have a war while I’m cooped up here in the white house? Well, I guess not.”
