EMANUEL’S POSITION
ON MAYORALTY RACE
HE WOULD NOI
DEFUSE PLACE
-—* —
DOES NOT INTEND TO MAKE A
CANVASS BUT WOULD ACCEPT
THE OFFICE IF IT W OF
FERED TO HIM.
A PLAIN STATEMENT FROM MR.
EMANUEL AS REGARD TO THE
MANY RUMORS WHICH HAVE
BEEN CIRCULATED.
For-some time it has been rumored
that Hon. N. Emanuel, the present may
or had positively said that he would
not accept the position of mayor again
under any circumstances and to as
certain whether or not there was any
truth in this rumor a reporetr saw Mr.
Emanuel yesterday and in answer to
the questinon as to wheether or not he
he would offer again the mayor said:
“1 cannot say that I am a candidate
for re-election in the sense that 1
would exppect to go out and solitic
the votes of the tax payers and make
a regular campaign for tne office.
"I will say;, however, that if the tax
payers of the city of Brunswick de
sire me to hold the office for another
term I would esteem it a veryr great
compliment and would accept the
trust.
“1 feel that the tax payers of tne
city have had ample opportunity to
know whether or not 1 have been faith
ful to the trust imposed in me, as i
have now served the county of Glytnn
two years hi Ihe legislature and the
city of Brunswick nearly two years as
mayor.
‘‘They certainly know whether or not
1 htfve the business ability to run the
city on an economical and progressive
basis, and whether or not the condi
tions have improved since my election
to office.
“If theyt believe that 1 have accom
plished any good since I have held
office. I feel that tney should say so,
and 1 feel likewise that if they prefer
to elect someone else to the office
it is their privilege and duty to do sco.
“I do not think that any business
man that had given four years of his
time to the county and city, practic
ally wihtout compensation should lie
forced to go out and make an active
campaign for an office tnat, is so re
sponsible as that of the office of may
or.
"I do not make this statement for
the the purpose of soliciting votes, but
simply wish to put myself straight be
fore the public on account of the va
rious rumors that have been going
around relative to the mayoralty elec
tion.
“I regret exceedingly tnat this ques
tion has come up so long before the
time for election, as I feel Bruns
wick has had quite enough of cam
paigning and electioneering to last her
for a long time, and I am quite sure
that the tax payers of the city do not
desire another heated campaign.
City Taxes.
The first half of the city taxes of
Brunswick for the year 1902 is due.
The tax ordinance requires payment
of the same by July' 31, and privides
that unless paid by that date execu

amount. In order to avoid delay in
being waited on at the closing days of
the mouth, tax payers can insure
prompt attention by calling early.

clat which accompanied the previous

Mr. Squires and the minister resident
for Gautamala and Central American
states. Senor Palma- too latter be
ing, by the way, a uear relative of the
Cuban executive. The Mexican envoy,
Senor Crespo, resigned the under-sec
retaryship of agriculture, commerce
and industry in i..0 cabinet of Presi
dent Diaz of Mexico to become the
Aztec republic’s first diplomatic rep

ed Ihnl his special effort will be to

secure the admittance of Mexican leaf

COUNTY OFFICERS MEET TODAY.
Interesting Convention to be Held In
Atlanta.
County officers throughout tho state
will meet, in convention in Atlanta to
day, and the gathering promises to he
of an important and interesting na
ture.
The meeting will he one of the larg
ess ever held In that city in some time
as it is expected that between 700
and 800 officers will be in attendance.
There arc at present two distinct
organizations of county officers in tne
state, and one of the principal fea
tures of this convention will be an
effort to merge them. One of the or
ganizations is composed of the sher
iffs, chiefs of police, solicitors and
clerks, and the other is the Associa
tion of Ordinaries.
The former met last year in Colum
bus and the ordinaries held their con
vention at Indian Spring. At that
time the later organization received
an invitation from the sheriffs, chiefs
solicitors and clerks to meet with
them in Atlanta with the idea of con
solidation. The invitation as accepted
and both bodies will convene at the
same time.
Judge John R. Wilkinson, ordinary
of Fulton county, especially invites all
of the ordinaries of Georgia to be
present at the meeting and is desir
ous of a large attendance. There is
little doubt hut that the consolidation
will be affected. The new organiza
tion will likely be known as tho
County Officers’ Association of Geor
gia.
Rain Predicted.
Ilaln Is predicted for today and tic
prayer is that the piophecy will prove
true in the most extreme measure
At one time yesterday there was
the prospect of a bounteous pour-down
and it is still hoped that there was
a generous rain in the surrounding
country in the agricultural districts,
though inquiries instituted last night
did not result in information that
there had been such rain.
Nearly Completed.
The Kaiser building on Bay street
will be completed within the next few
days. Although not. a handsome
structure it is a large one and ill in
e v eiy way answer the purpose for
which it was built.
It is said that Burnett’s feed store
will remove there.

CAPTURING THE
NOMINATIONNOW
♦
ROOSVELT AND HIS LIEUTENANTS
LAYING SOME EXCELLENT
PLANS.
The Man With the Political Backing
Can Only Get the
Offices.
Washington, July S.—,T. S. Clarkson
recently selected by President Roose
velt for surveror of the port of New
York has been in Washington about
a week conferring with Postmaster
General Payne and other politicians
close to the president with regard to
the political situation
There is reason to believe that tn(c
campaign ot 1904 is already under
consideration, and that Mr. Clarks ton
is to have a very important part in
the capturing of delegates. His
friends say that lie can give Senator
Hanna "cards and spades” in captur
ing the southern delegates.
The part in the movement which is
assigned to Mr. Clarkston, according
to good authority, is the capture of
the south. Mr. Hanna himself gave
bagging of southern delegates, al
evideee in 189(i of his ability at the
though it is asserted hy. persons un
friendly to Mr. Hanna that he got too
much credit for that, and that the
honor really belonged to the late Con
sul General Osborne. At all events
shrewd politicians agree that the
for the southern delegrtes will he one
of the Important features in the pre
liminary campaign of 1!)(I4, and to that
work Mr. Clarkston appears to have
been assigned.
Tinse of Mr. Roosevelt’s supporters
who have been admitted into the se
cret. of Mr. Clarkston’s activities are
extremely happy over the situation.
They are extremely confident that Mr.
'Clarkson will have no trouble in de
feating Hanna or anybody else who
wants to get the southern delegates
away from Mr. Roosevelt. It is be
hoved that Clarkston will not confine
his work entirely to the south, but
will he expected also to lend a hand
iu ( lher sections of the country, al
-1 hough the ’south will he his main con
cern.
PREESIDENT AT OYSTER BAY.
Roosevelt Booms the Boarding House
Business.
Oyster Bay, L. 1., July 4 The great
est crowds which have been in this
summer resort in many years are to
be seen here at present. Thousands
of people are here, the town being
submerged under a flood of visitors
who a;re brought here by the presi
dent’s arrival.
President Roosevelt will open an
office whicn will probably be arranged
some time within the next few days.
He will remain here the greater por
tion of the summer and tne office will
lie conveniently furnished. At pres
ent the only means of telegraph
communication with Washington is
oVer the regular wires. Today spe
cial arrangements are being made for
private telephone and telegraph ser
vice.
.ue president has given out that
he will entertain very few visitors, as
be came to this town for a rest which;
he intends to take undisturbed by
ainyqne. It is probable that he will
leave for Maine some time in August
probably on or about tne 20th.
Tne town is filling up, however, and
lodging is at a premium. Secret ser
vice men are guarding the president
night and day, which is much to his
displeasure. He said tej a friend to
day: “I am just as safe as if I wore
not president."
Oyster Bay is proud of her distin
guished president. The townsmen
prefer to call him colonel instead of
president.
Still Progressing Rapidly.
London, July B.—The king is improv
ing so rapidly that his physicians an
nounced tonight his majesty will leave
his bed in two weeks.
An Interesting Session.
Tne adjourned term of the superior
court promises to be very interesting
and quite a number of cases are to ho
disposed of. It is pprobable that court
will remain in session some days.
SOLDIERS NOW GETTING
DOWN TO HARD WORK
CONGRESSMAN BRANTLEY HERE.
Arrived or, the Mallory Steamer Yes
terday Morning.
Congressman and Mrs. W. G. Brant
ley and children reached Brunswick
on the Mallory steamer from New
York yesterday, and the popular con
gressman waß busy the entire day
shaking hands with his hundreds of
friends and admirers here.
Although the session of congress
which lias just closed has been a
hard one. and Mr. Brantley was con
tinually at work, he looks none the
worse for It.
THE BASE BALL GAME.
Brunswick Colored Team Shut Out the
Visitors Yesterday.
The game of base ball between the
colored team of Macon and Brunswick
yesterday resulted in a victory for
the local team by a score ol 9 to 0.
The Macon loam sent home for three
new men last night and they will be
here in time for tne game today.
It is claimed hy the manager of the
visiting club tnat the decisions of the
umpire were rotten, and he further
says that he was robbed out of the
game, lie is confident of winning to
day’s game it they, give him a fair
deal.

furnace here this afternoon killed one

THE FRISCO TRIP MAY
HAVE E 0 BE ABANDONED
NEED SOME MORE MEN AND SO
FAR HAVE BEEN UNABLE
TO GET THEM.
That the Oglethorpe company,
Knights of Pythias will make the trip
to San Francisco is not at all certain
at present, hut will be decided at a
business mooting of the company to
be held this evening.
The fact of the matter is, the com
pany needs four more men and unless
they can be found tne trip will be de
clared off.
The entering of the Oglethorpe in
tne great drill is one of the very best
advertisements Brunswick and Geor
gia can get and it seems a pity that
they should be unable to get four more
men. it is thought that the difficulty
will he overcome and it is to he hoped
that tliis is true.
MANY NEGROES INJL’RER.
Accident at a Funeral Caused by De
sire to' Get Last Look at Corpse.
Chaileston, July B.—Twenty negroes
were injured this afternoon hy the tail
ing of the front weranda of Emanuel
church.
The funeral of a colored preacher
was lining hold and after the body had
been borne from the building the ne
groes made a wild rusn for the en
trance to get a last, view of the coffin.
Just as the crowd assembled on the
liign veranda entrance it fell with a
crash and two hundred men, women
and children wore buried in the debris.
It is said that officers of the church
warned the congregation not to rush
to the front with the coffin, but the ex
eitemcii was too much for them. Pan
demonium reigned and the police force
was called out to remove the wounded
and have order restored.
PLENTY OF COAL.
But Dealers Are Paying An Advanced
Price.
Tne great, coal strike does not keep
the average Brunswickian from get
ting coal, but they have to pay more
for it. Coney & Parker say they have
a plenty on hand and it is good that
,h y have, because prices are on the
steady increase.
Not Quite So Warm.
A good breeze yesterday cooled
tnings considerably and caused the
thermometer to fall a great deal. The
weather bureau says it will not be as
warm today as it was yesterday.

has presented a lively scene, many!
Chilians being out to see the sol
diers.
A telegram has been recived saying
that Governor Candler has revoked the
order allowing the Fifth regiment to
go to North Carolina this week. This
means, of course, that this regiment
will have to send a delegation to tho
state shoot which is now in camp
here.
It was a matter of surprise and dis
pleasure when it was learned that the
Fifth infantry would not, be represent
ed nt tne shoot, and it was at me
instance of a protest .rom uiose con
cerned in the macon shoot that Gov
ernor Candler revoked the order.
The delegation of the Fifth regi
ment will arrive tomorrow to partici
pate in the shoot.
Colonel George Cann, of Savannah,
is in charge of tne camp. He is very

Manager Winters is giving the sol
diers and all visitors to the camp a

before the camp gets down to real
soldier life.
Each company in the state sends
five marksmen. But nearly every com
pany will also he represented by a
large number of men besides the of
ficers who feel an interest in the shoot.

throughout the United States and
Canada are attending the annual na
tional convention of the Boilermakers
and Iron Shipbuilders’ union. The
gathering was formally opened in.
Raine’s hall today with James McNal,
the national president, presiding. The

THE CLOTH MARKET.
There is> Generally a Better Inquiry for
Cloth.
Manchester, July 8. —There as gen
erally a better inquiry for cloth last
week and some sellers hajve progress
ed more in the past fortnight than
they have for some time previous. The
Indian demand was the most active*
and chiefly from Bombay and Kura
ehee. There were a few transactions
wim Ch.na in staples. Elsewlierei
trade was unsatisfactory and consist
ed mostly of sorting up.
Yarns are supported by the strength
of cotton at Liverpool. The spinners
of American and home trade qualities
endeavored to secure enhanced prices
but with little success, for the demand
was indifferent.
