CITIZENS ARE INTERESTED AND

FOR THIS CITY.
THE PETITION FOR INCORPORA
TION IS PUBLISHED TODAY.
COMPANY WILL BECIN WORK
P
AS SOOON AS POSSIBLE.
A News reporter railed on 001, O. I’.
Goodyear, who bas been active in the
preliminary work loading to the grant
of this charter, for such statement as he
felt justiffeil in making at this time, s s
to the purposes of the company. He sad
there was very little to say; that the
charter was self explanatory.
That all it seemed desirable to add
was that the paint oil and varnish and
other preparations which may he manu
factured by the company are the in
vention of Mr, W . E. Dempster, of this
city, who has been experimenting for
many years, made many tests of his
oil on buildings here, some of which are
over seven years standing ; that in this
climate, which is especially hard on all
classes of paints, the paints made from
the Dempster oil have stood remarkably
well, such tests lining certified by re
putable and disinterested citizens: that
tests had been and were being made in
New York eity and in a number of
cities in Georgia and Alabama, and that
the certificates so far given were very
satisfactory; that these tests would seem
to justify the belief that this oil wiL
prove 'alisfeetorv wherever linseed' oil
can lie used in jiuiut; that it lias sjiccuil
preservative qualities on all classes of
iron, tin, steed and other metal work;
that tests are being made of its qualities
in salt w ater as a preservative from the
torepo and a preventative of fouling on
vessel, and otherwise ; that he company
will commence business in a quiet way
and extend it as the demand increases,
asking no favors, only asking fair treat
ment from the city.
Col. Goodyear has some statistics
gathered from oil jobbers in the linceed
trade, as to the amount of linceed oil
used in the United States, which is es
timated at 50,000.000 gallons or I,ooo,otin
barrels per year used in various classes
of piaints besides large quantities of
adulterated oils of various sorts used as
substitutes for linceed oil.
Col. Goodyear was asked how the
prii-e would compare with linceed oil,
aud his reply was that it would he very
much cheaper. He also said that he
desired to makv no extravagant claims
for this oil, but preferred that actual
tests aud the certificates of those who
had made them should speak for the
merits of the procuet.
Following is the petition for iscor
poration of the company.

matters and to a considerable extent a
restoration of former political rulers
and their methods, called upon him and
till! following interview occurred:
After repeating the substance of the
above rumor thy reporter enqired of the
judge wluit foundation there was, if
any, for such rumors and stated that
the News would be glad to print any
thing that he might care to say for the
information of the people upon Ihe
matters referred to aud the following
is his reply:
“I am glad that you have brought
this matter to my attention and cheer
fully answer your inquiry, i have
never been upon the fence upon any
public question in my life but I have
always had strong convictions and the
people have had no difficulty in ascer
taining my views and exactly where I
stood. 1 was one of the prime movers
in the agitation which resulted hut a
lew years ago in the campaign between
the Good Govermmit Club and its op
ponents.
1 was then aud have boon all mv life
aud am now in favor of honest, econo
mical aud progressive government both
municipal ami county and have always
favored and now favor everything tend
ing to secure these tilings for Glynn
county anil the city of Brunswick and
to buiiu them up and make t hem pros

particular individuals or not. 1 stand
just as I have always stood and am not
■the candidate of any faction nor am 1
pledged, nor so far as I know, even ex
peeled to support any especial measures
or procure any particular laws passed.
My friends and supporters are made
up of persons who were formerly in both
factions. For some time past 1 have
thought that we have no factious now
but that all the gf* pie were uniting in
an effort; to lay aside partisan polities
and pull together for the good of the
city and the county and that was my
position ami is now. If there is anY
expectation of strengthening, creating
or building up any faction as a result of
my nomination and election 1 do not

I am simply a candidate as a democrat

of any and every man in Glynn county
who wishes to secure good govennent,
wise legislation and carry our cily and
county on to that state of proserity, in
which each man’s property will have its
full value aud each man’s tuxes and
pullic burdens will be least. Upon tiiat
basis as a democrat I am asking the
nomination.

CITY COURT
ACQUITS WILSON
—* —
AN INTERESTING CASE TRIED IN
THE CITY COURT YESTER
DAY AFTERNOON.
Charles Wilson Succeeded in Get
ting an Acquittal—Was Tried
On a Serious Charge.
The interesting trial of Chas. Wil
son, charged with lareenoy, and the
disposition of his case by a verdict
of “not guilty,” were the features of
the city court yesterday.
Circumstances connected with this
case have made of it one of the most
interesting of its kind in the criminal
history of the county in some time.
Headers of Tne News will recall the
many and varied stories connectejd
with tne brief career of the young man
who a jury exonerated and who was
reloasud last night from an irksome
incarseration intlre Glenn p ounly
jail, covering a period of several
weeks.
The charge® against young Wilon
were that he was a ‘ sharp” and
“confidence" man of tne extreme
clever kind. It was charged that he
would enter a residence and aided in
schemes by wearing rubber bottom
shoes, would make almost the com
plete rounds of the house without being
discovered. If discovered, it was al
leged, he would offer in explanation
for his intrusion that lie was selling
wigs and toilet articles and that he
had entered the house after ringing
and was in search for the occupants.
He was also charged In connection
with this of having stolen articles of
value, including jewelry.
Hut yesterday the charge entered
against him by the state solicitor and
upon which he was tried was that of
robbing I)r . Cates’ drug store of
sidy i • .ns. The chief prosecuting
witness and the one upon whom the
statci conducted its case was a small
boy by the name of George Cassidy.
The boys testimony was altogether
against the white man, but, as he did
not see Wilson take, the money, his
evidence counted for but. little with
the jury and it took them only a few
minutes to malt,, up a verdict o' not
guilty against the man.
The cose attracted considerable at
a,Mention and was stubbornly fought.
Wilson was represented by Attorney
D. W. Krauss.
Two or three other cases of minor
importance were diposed of during
the afternon, of them being that of
the state vs. Illon.l Gasway, who was
charged with entering the cemetery
and 's caling doviv tr nil different
graves. The jury returned a verdict
of guilty with a recommendation to
the mercy of the court. The judge im
posed a fines of $25.
The court will convene at the us
ual hour this morning and a num
ber of cases will doubtless be dis
posed of*during the day.
ST. SIMON HAS A MURDER
GLASGOW WILSON, A WELL
KNOWN NEGRO, WAS KILLED
SUNDAY NIGHT.
Glasgow Wilson, a well known col
ored! man of Glynn county and em
ployed by the Hilton & Dodge Lum
ber company on St, Simon, was killed
Sunday night at Harrington, a small
settlement of the island, by Henry
Blue, another negro and also employed
by the same firm.
News of the fragely " 'll :li appears
to have its share of sensational fea
tures, reached Brunswick yesterday
morning through a telephone messages
to The Nows.
Owing to Blue waving examina
tion before Judge J. D. Gould, of St.
Simon, tus barring a record of tes
timon in the case, all the particulars
are not known, though from general
reports of the killing the saliant fea
ture can ho mentioned as follows:
The two mem were emplocd of the
same firm and both had formed an
attachment for a colored woman, who
has for some time been a familiar fig
ure about the mills. Blue’s infatua
tion for the colored belle was a pa’r
ticularly strong one, so much so as
to excite the keenest and most bitter
jealousy,
i Wilson had been paying some at
tention to tlie object of Blue's infat
uation and had frequently been seen

by Blue in her company. He was
With her a portion of Sunday, when
the laborers were milmployed aud
when Blue had hoped to have had the
pleasure of a day with the object of
affection.
The man who did the killing
brooded over the fancied wrongs from
which he was suffering and Sunday
night he determined to act, going to
the woman’s house he found Wilson
about 7 o’clock in the evening. A
general querrel ensued, words were
passed and Blue seized a large club
and struck several blows and one on
the forehead of Wilson did the work.
Yilson’s skull was fractured and from
the time the blow was inflicted it was
knows ’ia* tkevoun toil i -an would
die. .
He lived tor five hours, during
which time he was unconscious, and
of course did not make a statement.
Blue was brought to Brunswick yes
terday and lodged in jail, where he
will await i.ie convening of city court.
Both the negroes enjoyed a fairly
good reputation and sentiment among
their fellow laborers is said to be
evenly divided, with little or no ex
citement among friends whose smpa
tliies are on either side.

The meeting is to be held at the
city hall anil independent of those
who are to lie present from this city
there will be a number of prominent
dimmo.oratfj )’ )>ni other parts of
Glynn.
There are no factional fights to
command the attention of the meet
ing, but only a wholesome uesire to
get the best men will account for tlie
interet’ to he apparent at this meet
ing. Chairman Twitty said last night
that h" was anxious to see a huge

feeling which was engesdered by the
debate on the Philippine tariff

on the Philippine tariff bill still hovers
about tlie senate, and, although at
times it may appear to be dissipated,
yet there will be outbreaks occasional
ly. As long as the South Carolina sen
ators are under the senate’s displeasure
there will be echoes in the senate cham
ber of tlie circumstances which led up
to their altercation and the subsequent
order of the senate declaring them to
be in contempt. There are u number
of measures to be considered yet which
will bring out party disagreements, and
later the Philippine government bill
will cause a renewal of the discussion
concerning those islands. As the de
bate grew warmer in the senate many
senators became intensely interested,
aud in Hie last few days they did not
get an opportunity to say all they
wished. This was especially tlie case
the last day, when the senate operated
under the fifteen minute order. A num
ber of Philippine speeches were “bot
tled up,” so to speak, fur future occa
sions. And so we may ex pee? some
rather hitter party discussions during

Capitol Notes.
A member of any foreign parliament
or legislature is entitled to admission
to the floors of the senate or the house.
That was why Prince Henry was ad
mitted to the floor of the senate. The
prince is a member of the upper coun
cil of the German reichstag.
“What every senator needs,” says
Senator Clay of Georgia, “is a first
class clerk to take care of bis cor
respondence. I am not one of those
men who tear up their letters, but
answer every one, and it takes the best
part of my time.”
unanimous Consent.
When an agreement is reached In the
house by “unanimous consent”—that
is, without objection by any member—
it is like an order or rule of the house.
Tlie speaker enforces it as rigidly as
he does any other rule, no matter what
it may do. In the senate these agree
ments are frequently made, especially
as to fixing a time to vote, and al
most universally they are adhered to
by everybody, even by those who were
not present when the agreement was
made. Once or twice these agreements
have been broken to the extent of dis
cussion, but usually such discussion is
upon a point of order or a question of
privilege, which presiding ottieers hold
can be discussed. In fact, President
Pro Tern. Frye bolds that an agreement
by "unanimous consent" must be obey
ed by the senators themselves and not
enforced by the presiding officer.
