COMMERCE AND LABOR
THE NEW DEPARTMENT;
BACON’S RESOLUTION.
OUR SENATOR
CARRIED POINT
LAWMAKERS THiNK THE NEWS
PAPERS DO NOT DEVOTE PROP
ER SPACE TO THEM.
TO THAT END THEY WANT SUB
SCRIPTION PRICE OF THE REC
ORD LOWERED.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Senator
Bacon of Georgia offered a resolution
in the senate providing that the com
mittee on printing consider the expe
diency of printing a special edition of
The Congressional Record for sale to
the general public at $2 for long ses
sions and $1 for short sessions.
He said some action ought to be
taken by congress to insure to the
general public more complete infor
mation as to the doings in congress.
No newspaper could afford to present
to its readers, he said, more than a
brief synopsis of the proceedings in
the two branches of congress.
Mr. Hawley remarked that his news
paper experience extended back be
tween 40 and 50 years. When he was
younger the newspapers of the coun
try devoted considerable attention to
the proceedings of congress, and in a
measure at least, he thought they
might return with interest to their olu
practice. The resolution was adopted.
Consideration of the bill to estab
lish a department of commerce was re
sumed, the pending amendment being
that of Mr. I’ottus pryv d'og that the
department of labor she ti l not be
made a part of the proposed now de
partment. It was rejected t
Mr. Bacon then offered an amend
ment providing that the name of the
new department should be the Depart
ment of Commerce and La m. This
was adopted by a vote of 5 to 02. The
census bureau was retained in a meas
ure as one of the bureaus of the new
department. The bill was then passed
MAY LEAVE HERE.
Baker Copper Works Displeased With
License.
Mr. M. A. Baker, Sr., may remove
his copper works tto some other city.

lutely no money in Brunswick but
sells telnr output tto turpentine opera
tors in three statets, paying out the
cost of manufacturing stills, etc., to
local workmen.
GUERRY MAY SPEAK HERE.
Prohibition Candidate For Governor
May Come at Early Date.
It is more than probable that
Dupont Guerry, the prohibition can
didate for governor of Georgia, will
speak in Brunswick at an early day.
A Guerry supporter told the News
yesterday that arrangements were
now being made to get the candidate
here.

A REAL CHURCH ORGAN.
Beautiul Church Scene in the Old
Homestead.
One of the prettiest scenes in "The
Old Homestead” and the one widen
caused the reatest comment on its
production, is the beautiful picture
of Grace Church, N. Y., by monlight.
When the scene was first talked of be
fore Its production, one feature,
which was overlooked by all concern
ed, save Mr. Thompson himself, was
to secure a real church organ.
When the expense was considered
it was voted almost an imposibility
but Mr. Thompson had faith in his
play, and after weeks of consultation
wu the best organ makers In the
country the result was a magnificent
piece of musical mechanism set up
on the stage of the Boston Theatre.
When “The Old Homestead” was
on for what proved to be the largest
and most successful run that any
American drama has enjoyed, in our
history, the organ in Boston was taken
apart and shipped there, but on being
put together again, something was
wrong; it would not worn to the sat
isfaction of Mr. Thompson, who is a
master on detail, and another expen
sive organ was set up in the Academy
and tnere it now stands, a monument
to Mr. Thompson’s expensive tastes.
Since "The Old Homesetead” wa3
first produced six organs have been
built for Mr. Thompson, but only one
is of any use as the others will not
stand transportation.
Mr. Thompson has had built for him
a massive speeial improved organ,
which is guaranteed to withstand all
kinds of travel, of pure, sonorous and
orchestral tone, and theatre-goers of
tnis city will have an opportunity to
hear it.
Mr. Thompson's desire to have a
first-class organ in his production has
cost hifn in the neighborhood of $25,-
000. But he will have it.
The company and production which
Mr. Thompson carries this season
is said to be exceptional for a road
tour.

MANY WILL GO.
Probable Brunswick Will Be Well
Represented.
From present indications Brunswick
will be W'ell represented at the
Charleston exposition on Feb. 10 and
11.
Not less than a hundred citizens
have already signified their intention
of making the trip. Mayor Emanuel
has not as yet heard from Col. B. W.
Wrenn in regard to a special train
and special rates, but that the genial
passenger agent will make a good re
duction is almost certain.
A good showing on "Brunswick
Day” is a great ad. for our city, and
an who possibly can should go.
Naval Reserves May Go.
The Charleston trip was discusej
by the Reserves at their meeting last
night and it is more than likely that
the company will go if suitable rates
can be secured. Mayor Emanuel
who is in correspondence with Col.
Wrenn about rates, was out of the
,\. r "*■ ,
City yesterday and when ho returns
today a letter will probably be here
bringing the desired information.
NOTHING NEW.
Postoffiee Situation Remains About
the same.
There have been no recent develop
ments in tlie postoffice situation.
Postmaster Brown is still in Wash
ington and it is probable that he will
remain there until the matter is fi
nally settled.
In the meantime it is the general
opinion that Mr. Smith will be con
firmed.
WILL RE-ORGANIZE.
Capt. Robinson Wiil Formally Take
Charge of the Company.
The Brunswick Riflemen will bolu
an important meeting at their armory
tonight.
Capt. Robinson’s commission as
commander of the company will be

A prominent member of the company
told a News reporter yesterday that
the Riflemen would be on a boom
very soon now.
THE PURIM BALL.
Many are Already Having Costumes

The ball to he given on the opening
night of the Jewish fair promises
to be the most enjoyable event Bruns
wick has had in many years.

a Pillow Booth. Many beautiful arti
cles wiil tie displayed which will
tempt the most fastidious. The con
cert which has been carefully ar
ranged will be an assured success.
The names of the participants will be
announced In a few days.
