BMLEYTO HAVE
THE FIELD ALONE
♦
COL. WILKINSON, REPUBLICAN,
WILL NOT MAKE HIS USUAL
FIGHT THIS YEAR.
Eleventh District Republicans in a
Stew Over a Complication of
Internal Insurrections.
Authentic information has reached
Brunswick to the effect that Mr. J.
Mi Wilkinson, of Lowndes, will not
be a republican candidate of the re
publicans of the Eleventh district in
opposition to Hon. W. G. Brantley,
denicratic nominee for congress.
Tn is Information corara from one
of Mr. Wilkinson’s friends in Lowndes
to whom he so personally expressed
himself.
This will leave Congressman Brant
ley with a clear field and ho will be
justly entitled to the honor of an un
contested election, as he has proven
doubly worthy of it by his devotion
to the best Interests of all his con
stituents in the Eleventh district re
gardless of heir political affiliation.
In the meantime the republicans of
the Eleventh are very much torn by
internal dissentions and the last two
issues of the Brunswick Herald, their
official organ, has teemed with red
hot charges against some of the post
masters and other lesser hgnts, bring
ing into discussion Director of the
Census Merriman, who flrnishes an
interesting card bearing on the situ
ation.
It seems that Postmaster Grier, of
Dublin, has been making efforts to
oust Chairman Belcher of Glynn from
the, district leadership. Asa retali
atory measure Chairman Belcher has
jumped Postmaster Grier tor his part
in having some colored ensus enu
merators displaced after he had se
cured the Dublin postmastership
plum for himself through their aid.
Mr. Grier denied file charge of having
anything to do with this and the re
movals were laid at the door of Di
rector Merriman. Director Merriman
now writes a card flatly contradicting
the charge that he had anything to
do with the colored enumerators dis
placed, and tne Herald takes that card
and lays it on heavy to the Dublin
ites. In the meantime it develops that
a campaign fund has been raised for
the purpose of Snfluencfng colored
delegates to vote against Berber for
re-election to the district chairman
ship, hut Belcher was the only one
who had -authority to call the com
mittee together and get ready for an
other convention and he has delayed
tnis call so long that the campaign
barrel of his opponents has about
been exhausted and he stands to win
against, them hands down. It Is a
game in which the democrats have
nothing to do except in so far as it
effects the republican state commit
tee and the national elections, as it
is alleged to be a play to down Belch
er and Deveaux and the Water John
son crown in the Eleventh, capture
the state committee and true state for
the lilly whites and throw the old
crowd Gverboard for good and for
all. With an exaustless barrel tills
fight might have been greatly pro
longed but as it stands now the fight
ia about over and it looks very much
like Belcher autl his crowd will win
out. A 5
A RARE TREAT.

Mrs. Isaac’s Emporium this Week.

chasing her winter stock, and will not

bargain week. However, she will of
fer some unheard of bargains in
ery department of her store ami she
invites the public to call and receive
some of the benefits to he derived
from the sale.

It is the intention of the mer
chants to make this tri|i during the
last, week of September. The promo
tors of the enterprise believe that the
trip can lie made at a cost of about
?r,u to each person, on the train. More
than 100 Georgia towns will be visited
by the party while away from Atlanta
;,n entire week.
"It is my belief,” said Mr. Conley
this morning, “that the visit of the
merchants and manufacturers of At
lanta to the Georgia trade will he of
immense benefit to both the Atlan
tians and those who are visited. It is
a good idea for the merchants, of oth
er cities doubtless would tike to see
tne men in Atlanta from whom they
buy goods. All the Atlanta merchants
with whom I have talked are enthu
siastieally in favor of the trip and it
is my opinion that, we will have a
train load when we start from At
lanta.”
it is believed that there will be be
tween 75 and ,00' Atlanta merchants
and manufacturers on the train and in
addition do tne benefits that will re
sult to their businesses, they expect
to have an enjoyable week.
ARE HANGING FIRE.
Knights are Still Discussing the San
Francisco Trip.
Some days ago it was decided by
the Oglethorpe company Knights of
Pythias to meet and state positively
wnether or not to take the trip to
San Fran.cl*?o. but it seems that the
matter will not finally be settled un
til Monday afternoon.
Captain Newman seems to think the
chances for taking the trip are slim
and a number of the members share
bis opinion. Mr. Newman has done
everything possible to get the few
men needed to make his team com
plete, and after every indication of
success to have those who promised
to go, hack down is enough to dis
courage almost any one, and Captain
Newman got disguested, The mem-'
hers of the company urged him to
wait until Monday before definitely,
deciding to abandon the trip, and no
has agreed to do so. but if the new
men r.ro not in by then, the trip is off.
