Bins AMNOUNCES;
DART CONSIDERING.
MAY BE RACE
FJB UffiLATURE
MR. EUSTACES C. BUTTS PUB
LISHES HIS ANNOUNCE
MENT m THIS ISSUE.
While Mr. Dart bay* He Will Prob
ably also Be in the Race
Soon.
Elsewhere in this issue will be
found the announcement of Mr. Eus
tace C. Butts, who will be a candi
date at the coming primary for repre
sentative of Glynn county in the next
legislature.
Mr. Butt's name has been men
tioned in connection with the place
for several days, but it was not
Known definitely whether or not he
would offer until yesterday, when his
announcement was handed to The
News.
Mr. Butts is one of the youngest
and most prominent members of the
Brunswick bar and is well fitted for
the position, and will no doubt re
ceive the support of a large number
of our citizens.
As soon as it was learned that Mr.
Butts would be a candidate, he was
seen by a reporter of The News, and,
when asked how he stood in refer
ence to the city court matter he said:
•Personally, I am against the abo
liton of the city court, as I believe
it Is a money-saver to the county,
but, if 1 am elected, I will let my per
sonal opinion have notning whatever
to do with it, and will abide solely by
the wish of the people who 1 will rep
resent and will use my every effort
to do what they think best in that
and all other matter*, which may
eome up during my time of office.
When questioned as to how he
stood on the liquor question, Mr.
Butts replied that he was for local
option.
Mr. Butts was admitted to the
Brunswick bar some two or three
years ago, and has, since that time,
built up a good practice. He is a
young man. and would no doubt make
a good representative.
Dart a Probable Candidate.
Considerable talk was also going
le rounds to the effect that Mr. R.
E. Dart, another young and promi
nent attorney would be a candidate
for the place, and he was also sought
by a reporter of The News, and when
seen Mr. Dart stated tnat he was not
ready to give out anything defi
mte at present, but said he was con
sidering the matter very seriously,
and would be ready to give out a
statement within the next lew days.
Mr. Dart was a candidate for the
legislature in 1898, and was making
a good race, but just at that time oc
curred the Spanish-American war,
and being captain of the Brunswick
Riflemen, he answered the call 01
the president, andwas therefore com
pelled to withdraw from the race, and
now he, like a number of his
friends, think he deserves another
showing at the place.
From the talk with Mr. Dart, th
reporter has former! the opinion that
hq will be in the race against Mr.
Butts.
Treasurer Smith left last nignt
for Savannah. He is on the United
States court jury. During his ab
sence Clerk Russel! will act as treas
urer .
Mr. C. L. Candler, who has been
ill for 'Several uays is improving.
A GOOD MINSTREL SHOW.
Geo. Wilson and Other Commedians
Pleased the Audience.
A large audience enjoyed a good
minstrel performance at the Grand
last night when Haverly's minstrels,
with Gebrge Wilson as principal star,
appeared.
The show was more on the and
time minstrel order than any seen
here in some time. All the circle
was _iack, and everything about the
performance was on the “old time
style.
The chorus singing was good, an
the solos were well received, espec
ially a barytone solo, “Mr. Volun
tteer," by Charles Richard, and a
bass solo, “Tne Sentinel Asleep," by
Edwin Plat. The fun in the first part
was principally by Johnnie Swor am
George oilson. The nrst part con
cluded with a song by George Vvjlso#
and by his teaching the audience tc
whistle to "The Tale of a Bumble
Bee"
The second part was made up of a
number of clever acts. Marion and
Pearl did some good acrobatic work,
and Johnnie Swor demonstrated in
ability as an expert dancer. Garden
and Somers made good inuhic on a
number of instruments, and George
Wilson gave a montgogue that was
great. The program was concluded
by an acrobatic act by Young Brot!’
era, who gave an excellent exhibition
of knock down and drag-out tunib
ling.

ON PLANTATION.
GRAVEYARD IS UNEARTHED IN
ALABAMA, NO ONE KNOW
ING iT EXISTED.
Twelve Mounds Were Found, Each
Covered With Slabs of Hard
Stone.
Deratin', March 3. —A grave
yard to which all indications would
give the age of a century or more,
was discovered recently on the. Lock
hart plantation in east Limestone
county.
No one can be found here who re
members anything about, this recent
ly unearthed cemetery, nor was its
existence known of until accidents'
ly discovered m a spot overgrown
with brush and grass.

were covered with rough gray s'
of hard stone, devoid of inseriptio
and bearing marks of extreme age
A venerable citizen here, William
Turner, who has lived on this pla
tation for nearly fifty years, says
that about the time he took up nis
residence Tfbre a l'amiTv lived on the
uaifTT of tne creek. They disappear
ed, however, and no one living knew
where they went. The negroeß

stitious regarding the locality on a<
count of this old tradition. They
■laimed that Strange sounds were
heard there and lights wero seen a<
ngiit.

MAY GO TO CHAUTAUQUA.
Naval Reserves Receive Invitation to
Go to Albany.
Lieutenant Commander Wrench of
the Naval Militia, has received an in
vitation for his command to attend
the chautauqua to be held at Albany
next month, and it is more than
probable tnat. the Brunswick com
pany will go.
The hoys are already discussing
the t'ip, and most of them seem an
xious to be there, as they know
vhat is in store for them when they
arc in Albany. The matter will prob
ably be taken up by the company at
once.

Anthony Richardson, colored, was
arrested by Office McCaskill yester
day and placed in the county jail.
Richardson is charged with stealing
cows from John Currie, the St. Simon
butcher, and was indicted by the
grand jury some time ago, but has
been hiding out.
Mrs. Thos. Fuller is spending
some time in Charleston.
THE OCMULGEE
IS OYER BANKS.
MANY PEOPLE IN AND NEAR
MACON ARE WITHOUT FOOD
ANu SHELTER.
River Is l.ow Falling, However,
and the Danger is About
Over.
Macon, Ga., niareu’ 3. —The Or
niulgee river is still out of its banks,
and while it lias not risen any today
it lias fallen very little. Many people
are without shelter or food, the re
sult of the high water, and a move
ment is on foot to raise a fund for
tin- sufferers. The swamps along the
river on either side for miles are un
der water.
A meeting of those inteested i
the swamp and near by was called li
devise ways ami means by which tin
levees around me water trout may
lie increased m length and height.
The levee tdrown up by tne city sev
eral years ago would have stood tin
ravages of the water, but tor tii
pathways. these made gaps m the
emoankment, and the water fouim
quite a low one Tii the rear of Mow
er’s stallfes. This proved an inlet
into tne park, and then the water
soon covered the mile track.
One of e strongest I'evoes wa
that thrown up by. W 11, iMansfp’i
some time ago. Between this an
the city’s levee uie Bibb brick Com
pSny had a levee thrown up, almost
making a coinplcte cordon around
the water Yront, but tile lar-reachin
waters quickly found (lie gups an
did the damage.
It is now proposed to fill all the
gaps ami strengthen I lie present
levees so that, mere wil lie no rope
tidon of me miods over field an -
grounds. This will involve consid
erable expense, but it is calculated
that, the damage to one brickyard yes
terday alone would more than pay
the cost.
Thousands of rabbits in the swamp
were forced to find refuge on dry
land, and numbers were taken tills
morning.
A number oi people who were driv
en from their nomes by tin- high wa
ter have taken refuge in tents near
by the river, and some of these ar
without provisions; but the people of
Macon are coming to their nssistam <
and it is thought by tonight that a!
of these people will be provided for.
