islature several years ago, and up to
his election as judgh of tho Bruns
wick circuit was a law partner of
Congressman W. G. Brantley.
Judge Bennet has served ori the

of the ambition of most members of
my profession, and at this time. I
cannot say more than to again thank

Long Illness.
Mrs. Lula B. Lucas died yesterday
morning at 7 o’clock after a long and

noble heart, or the service of her wil
ling hands.
Only those who knew her best, know
all that was sweet and grand in her
character, but to all she was
kind and womanly, in nor family
life she was the perfection of a model
wife ami mother, her energy, her self
sacrifice, her untiring love and devo
tion winning universal admiration

SOLDIER BIS
COMING DOWN
1
FIRST GEORGIA REGIMENT WILL
HAVE ENCAMPMENT AT ONE
OF OUR RESORTS.
Also. Very* Probable That The Third
And Fourth Will Also Come
Here.
it is vLry probable that the Fifth
Georgia regiment, together with their
excellent band, will have their annual
encapment this year either at Cum
berland or St. Simon.
A committee from that regiment ar
rived in tin* city Sunday nigot and
yesterday, they visited both resorts,
were shown over the drib grounds,
etc., and seemed much pleased with
both places. The commute was com
posed of T.S. Parrott, Captain Com
pany' O, and also editor of tho New
man News; Major W. W. Barker,
commanding of the third balalion;
Col. Lewis Kenan, of the governor’s
stafT.
The t.nree gentlemen were seen by
a News representative and in speak
ing of tthe encampment, they said
that committees from the regiment
were Inspecting St. Simon, Cumber
land, Tybee, Atlantic Beach and that
a decision would e made within the
next tew days. The three gentlemen,
however, seempd to think tnat the
encampmept would he held cither at
St. Simon-or Cumberland. Capt. Par
rott. to the reporter, sai.l:
"1 believe a majority of the mom
hers of the regiment are in favor of
holding Iho encampment at St. Si
mon. The regiment encamped there
several years ago and all tlitf mem
bers were much pleased, hut, there
being no note! accommodations now,
some of the members are opposed to
the place, as they would bring their
wives, mot'nqrs, etc. However, if the
people of Brunswick will give the
regiment, some assistance, f think
they will come anyway.
"A large number of the hoys are
also in favor of Cumberland, and we
understand that Col. Jacobi will man
age the hotel, which Insures ample
accommodations,as we know him oj
be a capable summer resort manager.
For this reason Cumberland is favor
ed. but Sf,Simon is favorrtl on ac
count of the short distance to Bruns
wick, and the boys could visit, the
cit\ frequently at a small expense.
At any rate, I believe the reglmetnt
will finally decide to encamp at St.
Simon or Cumberland.”
The people of Brunswick should
take this matter up with the . Fifth
and n set every effort, to secure the en
campment,, as It would mean consid
erable for our merchants and _ the
people generally. The committee stat
•■'J to the News representative that
at lease 800 would attend the en
campment, aqd not only that, but the
committee from me First, said their
reigmerit .would be followed by the
Tnird and probably by the Fourth,
which would mean obout. twenty-four
hundred! military boys besides their
wives, mothers, sweethearts and
friends.
Manager Jacobi, of Cumberland, will
do everything possible, to get the regi
ment there,and if the people of
Brunswick will join in we stand a
mort excellent chance of securing
♦he encampment for either Cumber
land or St. Simon.
The committo left yesterday, part
of them going to Atlanta, while Major
Barker went to Atlantie Beach to
fnvost igafe the possibilities of en
camping there.
Machinery Is Idle.
Potts vide, Pa., June 9.—The load

take the places of the striking en
gineers, firemen and pumpmen in the
Shenandoah district today, and the ma

At Brookside coJJiery the large opera

Coal and Iron company in the west
end of Schuylkill county, all of the 50

But few are employed at the other op

1902, but wen representatives of tho
Chicago packers rind their packing

tion ol Carter Harrison, (he mayor,
and a board of arbitration. It was
agreed, after due deliberation, to rec
ommend to the Iwo parties to the con
truvei;-jy now < xi: ting between the said
tea-m. ii i>. and said park rs.
That a compromise of the said dif

1. There shall be no discrimination
against union teamsters.
2. The scale of wages for teamsters
shall be fair.
?>. No teamsters shall be compelled
to work on Labor day.
■I. Any teamster receiving more than

Apparently ignoiant of the strike
settlement, nu-n sympathizing with the
teamsters today dragged a meat wag
on driver from big seat, heat him se
verely and then demolished the wagon.
The driver was Hojjert Allan, employed
by Irwin brothers. The strike having
been practically settled and at that
hour awaiting only tte ratification of
the Teamsters’ union, the firm sen!
out the wagon without a guard. At
State and Harrison streets a mob had
collected, apparently expecting a repe
tition of yesterday's disorder. Allan
was horribly beaten, but at the hos
pital it was said he probably would
recover. A second wagon had been
sent out by Irwin Bros., but upon
hearing of Ihe disaster that had be
fallen his predecessor the driver turn
ed back.
Victims of the riots were report -1 rs
being well toward recovery. Only a
few who were taken to hospitals re
main there. The more .seriously in
jured are sanguine of lining out within
a few days and there is no likelihood
of fatalities so far as known. "

bruised leg, having been hit on the
leg in one of the Fifth avenue riots.

ing their nine hours of fighting, was

the pumps will not he interfered with
by reason of the strike.

companies will keep their officers at
the mine until the strike is over. The
situation is o acute that, the presence
oi these men in the city, especially at

outbreak.

The trouble between the nergoes
Seems to have started Sunday after
noon' over a misplaced paddock, and
after quarrelling for several hours ail

morning with the above result.
The negro- who did the shooting
and who portrayed the roll of des
perado was Geo. Williams and his
victims were two son-in-laws and a
young colored girl who was visiting
ihe family.
With one fire from his; shot gun
Williams killed Azier Dickens, his
son-in-law, and wounded another son
in-law named Johnson and the negro
girl visitor.
After the shooting Williams remain
ed on the premises and said he would
allow no one to arresst him. The
affair was telegraphed to the city and
Deputy Sheriff Pyles, and Constables
McCaskill and Lamb left immediate
ly for the scene of the difficulty, but,
on arriving they learned that Wil
liams had left the place, and, although
a thorough search was made, no trace

from a shot fired by Geo. Williams.
