HALL ON TUESDAY, MAY 6,
AT 12 O’CLOCK.
At Which Time the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee of Glynn
County Will Be Named.
At the meeting of the democratic
executive committee yesterday morn
ing, it was decided to hold a mass
meeting on June fi for the purpose of
naming a succeeding committee to
serve for two years.
In the past the executive commit
tee ol the county has been elected at
the regular county primary, but the
mass meeting idea will probably prove
td he the best way of selecting the
committee. The following is tlie cab
for the meeting:
To the white voters of Glynn county:
As directed by a resolution adopt
ed hv ihe 'democratic executive com
mittee. of Glynn county on this date,
a meeting of the white voters of said

the county are urged to be present

WORK IN SAVANNAH HARBOR.
Tugs Dandy and Iris Will Fight Sa
vannah Boats.
The Savannah Press of Monday
has the following, which will he of
interest to Brunswick marine men:
Anew towboat company has made
its appearance in the local field and a
contest for the bulk of the business
in Savannah is pretty sure to he
made.
Tho tug Iris arrived yesterday from
Darien to reinforce the Dandy, which
has been competing with the Propellor
Towboat company for some time
past.
The master of the Dandy is a large
stockholder in (he new company, as
is also Captain Peck of the Iris.
| Messrs. Wylly & Smith and the Hil
j ton Dodge Lumber company of Darien,
! are the principal movers in the en
terprise.
TO INSPECT THE RIFLEMEN.
Col. W, G. Obear Will Be in the
City Today.
Col. W. G. Obear, inspector of the
Georgia state troops, will be in the
city today and tonight he will inspect
the Brunswick Riflemen.
The state, when the Riflemen were
in rather a bad condition, gave the
company fiO days in which to recruit
uji and get in good shape. The 60
day probation expires tonight, and
it is safe to say that the company
will stand a most creditable exami
nation. They have, under the new
management, made great headway
and it is now considered one of the
best, companies in the state.
Col. Obear, when in Macon a few
days ago, was interviewed as to tho
state troops, and he paid a neat com
pliment to the Brunswick Riflemen,
saying t..at he had noticed them in
the Albany parade, and that they
made an excellent showing.
The inspection tonight will take
place in the armory about 8 o’clock,
and an members of tne company are
requested to be present.
FIGHTING FOR A MAN’S LIFE.
Negro Lawyer Battles for One of His
Race.
Columbia, S. C., April 29.—There
is confined in the Georgetown jail,
under death sentence, a negro barber
named John Brownfield. He may re
main in prison several years yet be
fore he will know whether or not the
TRUSTS ONLY LAUGH
AT POPULAR OUTCRY
sentence is to be executed or before
the state courts can order its execu
tion. The case is a peculiar one and
a striking illustration of how the law
may tie up a case.
Brownfield Hilled J. C. Scurry a
deputy sheriff, at Georgetown, in 1900,
which resulted in the riot trouble
there, and which causeu the gover
nor to send several companies of the
state militia to Utat place to protect
the prisoner 'and preserve order.
Finally toe negro was brought to
trial and convicted of murder and sen
tenced to be hanged,
itis attorney, a negro named Whip
per, appealed to the state supreme
court. Pending the appeal the negro
escaped from jail, but was so weak
from confinement ne could not run
and was quickly recaptured.
Not long ago tne state supreme
court sustained the circuit court and
the negro was oro red resentenced.
Beiore anew iay could be set for
execution, Whipper appealed to the
United States supreme.court, on the
ground tnat there was not a colored
man on the jury, this acting as a
stay of proceedings in the state court,
it is when the case will
ever be i . acfiT? In the Uniteu States
supreme court.
WRECKED VESSEL IS SIGHTED.
Schooner B. R. Woodside, With Masts
Gone, Prey to Waves.
Norfolk, Va., April 29.—Captain Mc-
Donald, of the United States collier
Sterling, which arrived at this port to
day, reports that about 5 o’clock on
Saturday morning, April 26, in lutnude
30.50 north and longitude 72.24 west,
he sighted the wreck of the schooner
B. it. Woodside. The vessel was a
total wreck and was drifting helpless
ly about, Her masts were gone, with
ihe exception of the foremast and
jibbonr.
No signs of the crew of the schoon
er were visible and nothing is known
as to their fate. It. is supposed from
tie appearance of the vessel that they
were all washed overboard and
drowned during the heavy gales which
prevailed.
Captain McDonald tried to set fire
to tho vessel, so as to remove her
from the path of passing vessels, but
found it impossible to do so. Her
locks were awasn, ana sue is a help
less derelict.
A HANDbOME RESIDENCE
Will Be Erected on Union Street by
Mr. F. D. M. Strachan.
Union street will soon be graced
with another very handsome resi
dence. A contract r nas been let by
Mr. F. D. M. Btrachan for a house
to be erected on the vacant lot op
posite the residence of Mr. J. H. Mc-
Cullough. It is understood that the
proposed residence will be one of the
handsomest in tue city, and work will
begin on it within the next few weeks.
The contract for the erection of
thisi handsome r'esidenj e has beem
awarded to W. H. Bowen & Cos., the
well known Brunswick contractors.
There are now a number of res
idences in that vicinity and new ones
are now going up. The home of Mr.
J. E. du Bignon. on Union street, is
now about completed, and will soon
be ready for occupancy, while the
pretty homo of Mrs. Cora Rowe is
completed. Other plans are now be
ing perfected for the erection of hand
some residences in all sections of the
city, and Brunswick seems to be on
quite a building boom.
Mr. Terrell Didn't Come.
Hon. Joseph M. Terrell, candidate
for governor, who was scheduled to
be in Brunswick yesterday, failed tdt
put in his appearance. Mr. Terrell,
it seems, was only to be in Brunswick
for a few hours, having a date in an
other section of the state in the af
ternoon and he discovered that it
would be. impossible for aim to fill
both dates. A telegram was received
from him stating that he would try
and visit Brunswick at a later date
during the campaign.

tle G-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.

DON'T FEAR THE
INVESTIGATION
• ♦
BEEF AND SUGAR COMBINES
KNOW THAT REPUBLICANS ARE
IN CONTROL—THERE WILL BE
NO WAR WAGED AGAINST THEM
SAY THE MATTER IS ONLY IN
THE HANDS OF THEIR FRIENDS
AND HAVE NO FEAR THAT THEY
WILL HAVE TO REDUCE PRICES.
Washington, April 29.—Neither the
sugar trust, nor the beef trust is ex
bibitng any concern over the talk ot
legislation against these trusts in par
ticular, or other trusts, by the pres
ent. congress.
The trust® know that with republi
can control of both branches of con
gress they are in the hands of their
friends. The threats of investigation
into the monopolies controlling meats
and other food supplies do not worry
in the least the men whose manipula
tion is responsible for the high prices
against which the entire country is
complaining.
The 'sugar refining trust has not
turned a hair because of .the action
of the house in tacking the differential
amendment on the Cuban reciprocity
bill. It, is true that the action of the
house canned a flurry in Wall street
and that there was a slight slump in
sugar trust shares, but this was due
entirely to the manipulation of the
outside traders and did not at all af
fect the sugar trust magnates. They
are confident that the republicans
of the senate will never allow that
amendment to remain on the bill and
that they are in absolutely no danger.
Republicans Silent on Meat Trust.
As yet not a single republican has
been found in either house of con
gress with nerve enough to even in
troduce resolutions calling for an in
vestigation into the methods of the
manipulators of food stuff prices. Mr.
McDermott, of New Jersey, a demo
crat, has introduced a bill to take off
the existing tariff on meats and poul
try with the idea that this might give
some relief to tie consumer. There
is little chance of this being given
even serious consideration by the re
publican majority on the ways and,
means committee of the house, and if
the thing is allowed to get up at all
it will ge met with an avalanche of
protest that the removal of these par
ticular duties would he a great' blow
at the beloved American farmer. As
a matter of fact, the beloved Amer
ican farmer gets no benefit from this
tariff. The American cattle raiser
must sell his product to the houses
of the packers’ combine, and that
combine absolutely fixes the price
that will be paid for beeves. But if
the matter should be allowed to get
before the ways and means commit
tee at all, we will have the mteresting
spectacle of the republican leaders de
claring that the removal of the tariff
v. ill D-* a blow at the American far
mer.
Democrats Alone Are Active.
So far every move designed to
throw light upon the cause; of the
abnormally high prices for meats l as
come from the democratic tide. Some
time ago Mr. Thayer, of Massachu
setts, introduced a resolution calling
for Information from the department
of justice as to what steps were be
ing taken, if any, to investigate and
proceed against the beef trust. About
this time Attorney General Knox
wrote a letter stating that some dis
trict attorney, name not given, had
been instructed to investigate. There
was nothing to indicate that there
was any vigor back of the movement
to investigate and the only develop
ment since has been the report of
the committee to which the resolution
was referred, which committee de
clared lu effect tbst there was no need
to adopt Mr. Thayer’s resolution, be
cause tne attorney general's letter
made it unnecessary.
Preacher Joins in the Raid.
Raleigh, N. C„ April 29.—A year
ago Rev. J. F. Jordan, a rural Bap
tist preacher ot Transylvania county,
led a raid against moohsnmers and
helped destroy a still. He had a
number of the best people in his sec
tion have made another raid and de
stroyed three illieit distilleries. He
is a terror to me uioonsinuers.
