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. CHILD ATE POTASH AND DIED. After Three Years of Suffering Little One Passes Away.

Death resulted from the effects of having swallowed potash three years ago, the result of a nurse’s careless ness.

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.
