THE BRUNSWICK NEWS. VOLUME 1, NUMBER 136. 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.

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.

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.
