BRUNSWICK, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 10, 1902 CHANCES FOB IRRIGATION BILL —— FRIENDS OF THE MEASURE MUCH ENCOURAGED BY SUPPORT FROM SENATORS. StatecJ That Eastern and Southern Senators Favor it—Other News From Washington. Washington, May !).-- -The irrign gation men from the far west are greatly encouraged. Of course they expected to pass their 1)111 iu the sen ate, but they did not expect to receive so much support from men whose state); are not to be directly benefited by the measure. Senator * 1 ansl rough lias been receiving the congratulations of his fellow senators tor the manner in which he handled the bill in Hu* sen ate. He made but one brief speech on it when first reported. Then lie walcit ed his chance and slipped the bill in behind tile Philippine tariff lull ns tin* unfinished business. Without antago nizing any one and only answering such questions as were necessary lie kepi the measure to the front until it was passed. But what encourages tli.si men from the west is the cordial in dorsemeut given the 1>; 11 by Bonn to; Hoar and Gal linger from New 12m lam states and Tillman, Bacon and Ckr from the southern states. If Hu* s i t.l incuts which these men express pet mottles members of the house fr< m lit same sections, there ought to be a ! chance to get the bill through tt house. Newlands in the House. •The irrigation Dill is known as F Hatisbrottgli-Newiarids bill 1 li measures were identical as ini i ndue, iu both houses.

The western men lia been working earnestly far the li and are making converts r, ’lu* I that the president is outspoken ..■* is a great help, and this is being u with good effect. An Oregon Senator’s Move. When Senator Mitchell first, went west, lie sailed to I’uuuma, crossed tho Isthmus and thence up the coast, 'set tling at San Obispo, Cal. "I came near being a Golden State man,” said Senator Mitchell to a party of friends. "I intended to settle at .San Obispo and begin the practice of law. it was a small place. There was only one woman there.” As be paused some one piped out, “And that's why you moved oil?” “I said,” continued .Sen ator Mitchell, "that there was only one woman there who could speak Eng lish. All the rest spoke Flemish. I concluded that there was not sufficient scope there for my talents, and I went on to Portland, and I am glad of il. That was back in 18(10. I have been elected to the senate four times ami am naturally grateful to the people of Oregon.” And Oregon lias reason to lie grateful to Senator Mitchell, for no man fias done more for the state in congress than he. Representatives Reappear. For two months a certain number of representatives have been “out of sight.” Seldom would they be seen in the house even to answer (o roll calls, and tb(>n only in ease of urgent neces sity. The fact that they did occasion ally respond to their names* showed that they were somewhere about the capitol. But cards could never find them in the house, and seldom could they be found elsewhere. These men were Burton, Ohio; Reeves, Illinois: Dovenor, West Virginia: Bishop, Mich igan; Aeheson. Pennsylvania; Morris, Minnesota; Alexander, New York; Tongue. Oregon; Lawrence, Mnssnebu setis; Davidson. Wisconsin: McLaeli !an, California; Lester, Georgia; Bank head. Alabama; McCulloch, Arkansas; Sparkman, Florida; Bail, Texas, and Ransdell, Louisiana. They could be seen by those who went to the capitol early or remained there late, for they were away among the first, to arrive mid the last to leave. They were bur .ed in a committee room, making a river and harbor bill. Now their great work is over, and when the Dili passes they will lie through, but for months they have been endeavoring to lecon cile the various claims of sections and states, trying to make a satisfactory bill'aml frame one that would not he too large. They have had many de mands made upon them, and. while they have not satisfied ail sections, they have made a bill that cannot defeated. , • ' CUMBERLAND IQ OPEN ON JUKE I 4 MANAGER JACOBI IS NOW GET TING THE HOTEL IN FIRST CLASS SHAPE. It Will Be Run On a Liberal and Up to Date Plan and Success Is Assured. Manager Jacoby lias definitely de cided to open the Hotel Cumberland on June 1, and, form tho present out look, he will have a full house from the o|teiiing to tim cloning of the popular resort. Mr. Jacold said to a representative of The News yesterday that he had re ceived numerous letters from people of throe states engaging rooms during the summer. A large crowd from At lanta. fifty in all, will spend the first week in June on the island and later an equuly large number will come from Chattanooga to spend some time at the hotel. Other parties from Macon and other eiiir,s nave also engaged accommodation at the hotel. Cumherlarm bids fair to become pop ular with BvnnswjeKians, as the double daily schedule suits them exactiy, MUTUAL INSURANCE KIR COS lON Mill Ml N they are going to organize AN INSURANCE COMPANY OF THEIR OWN. I he following is from tho Oolumbiis Enquirer Sun of Thursday and will he of general intevesf in all sections of the state : Mr. G. Gnnliy Jordan, president of llm Eagle and IMirnix Mills, returned yesterday morning from Ihthiti Springs 1 a ■ where in* attended 111** opening session of tho association of G torgia mill mmi. Superintendent Rankin, of tin' Eagle and l’lienix plant, is still in attendance upon the meeting. There a large attendance of eotfon goods manu facturers from all over the stale. One of the most important stops taken by the meeting was tin; agreement to 'barter a manufacturers’ mutual in surance company, in which ail protect ed hazards will be insured. Such a I mutual insurance company has existed among the New England maim factitious for many years, and lias proven very advantageous. Il lias g.ven insurance at very low rates, for very frequently eighty and ninety per cent, of the pre miums are paid ack to the members in the shape of dividends. The tlieor is to give protection at actual cost. The cotton mills of North Carolina already have such a mutual insurance company, and one, is now being formed in South Carolina. Ueee ntiy one of these New England companies has sus tained very h .ty losses, due to the ac ceptance of risks on chair factories and other manufacturing establishments in the west. it. is their idea to have a southern mutual insurance company, which will insure only cotton mills’ and the best risks at that. Mill men who join must agree Io pay I) 1- 2 times their regular premium on any occasion, should the emergency arise. The class of risks is so good that the soutlieen manufacturers believe they can do their own insurance at a very low rate. CROSS OF LEGION AFFAIRS The Chief Topic of Conversation in Washington Now. Washington, May 1).---The war and. navy department are very much ex created over the cross of legion of honor which Admiral Dewey and General Miles will not get. All of the eiubas-1 sies are very much embarrased, lest someone should suggest that a story, 1 in which the French emhassey has 1 been the central figure, which hassetall 1 Washington agog, might in; traced to ' some unfortunate attache. In the White House all is grim, ai <1 it is determined that no one should i e permitted to even suspect the president or to have ever heard him whisper a word in regard to the M iles and Dewey cross of legion of honor. A serious state of affairs exist all around. The Miles lira are firmly convinced, however, that hut f>r Miles the whole army and navy would be wearing crosses of honor on and after May 24th. ' The friends of Admiral Dewey sate that he is perfectly satisfied with the honors of his own country and and does not care for foreign decora tions, WITS VISIT MEANS MUCH FOR MILLEDGEVILIE MACH! VS GEORGIA MARBLE. NEW YORKERS ARE NOT LAUGH ING AT THE GENIAL COL ONEL NOW. Iu speaking of the new stock ex change building in New York, the Stocknolder says*. , A striking feature about the DuiKi ing is the white marble used. We pro bably are indebted to Colonel I*2. C Maehen of the Brunswick and Birming ham railroad, for introducing into New York thei Georgia marble which the architects selected for our stock ex change. Years ago Colonel Maehen was building a railroad through Georgia, when he ran across the quarry form which this marble is brought. He im mediately saw its value, although everybody else refused to see anything in it. The enthusiastic nature of the colonel, however, caused him to make certain predictions about it which caused his hearers, at that time, to laugh at him. He predicted tin.. New York bus iness men would in time he building their fine buildings out of his Georgia marble. Borne time lias been required to make his prediction true, but Col. Maehen now has the satisfaction of seeing the most costly building in New York constructed as he prdieted. Whenever the colonel walks along Broad street, passersby always notice that. In* always takes a sly peep at the new exchange and then a quiet look ol satisfaction conies over his coun tenance. , GRAVE CRIME LAID TO COOKER.

HAY SURF 10 BE IHE “WHOLESALE SI REFT” A PLAN TO MAKE IT WIDER SUG GESTED AND IT WILL PROBA BLY MEET WITH APPROVAL. It, now looks like the plan sugges ted by R. E. Briesenick, as to turning over Bay street to the .wholesale mer chants, will he carried out. Mr. Briesenick suggested tins years ago and the idea found favor with some while others laughed at it, but the faeti that everybody nearly is in favor of it now is quite a compli ment to Mr. Briesenick’s judgment. The News thinks that, it will he only a short time before Oglethorpe will be one of Brunswick's busiest streets and instead of being the “back street it will he just the reverse. As nearly every property owner on Bay owns from street to street they could extend their hu.. .ings through to Oglethorpe. Mr. Briesenick now comes forward with another good proposition. He thinks Oglethorpe street should he wider and offers to allow several feet of ills lots for that purpose, provided other property owners will do like wise. -i m
