I am Surprised and sadly disap

bad that it has not been settled long
since. 1 supposed it was all over and
(lie news of its continuance vvnicn
greets me here is the one dark spot
on a most joyous nomecoming. The.
anthracite coal operators have all
along maintained a false position.
They take the st-nU that they Will not
deal wit,, the cidttllizatipns, but in
sist on dealing -a* the fneu. as indi
viduals. Now, this?is, all wrong. Any
body of men wuose Interests arc eom

association for mutual protection, and
are entitled lo recognition as an or

When asked if lie had not heard

A SLIGHT
REDUCTION
WILL BE MADE IN THE STATE
TAX RATE FOR THE
YEAR.
Following concerning the tax rate
for the year, is taken from Wednes
day’s Atlanta Journal:
"Governor Candler and Comptroller
General Wright will meet next Mon
day to decide upon tne state tax rate
for file year. Under tne law tne govern
or and the comptroller are required
each year, after the tax returns have
been received, to make the calculation
as to the amount of money which will
be required to meet the expenses of
the state and then fix a tax rate by
which the-required sum o- money can
be reased.
AH file tax digests have been re
ceived except those from DeKalk and
Troup counties. These are expected
to arrive before next Monday. Only
one arbitration is on wmi the railroad
(tpmpanlcs, that between Iho state
and the Southern rai.way. This arbi
tration will probably be completed at
the meeting Friday.
Comptroller General Wright stated
this morning he thought it probable
that the rate could be reduced to $5.20.
a reduction of 14 cents on the thou
sand. "I tnought some time ago that
we could make a big reduction, and
again 1 thought we could not lower it
at ad, but since making a partial ex
animation of the returns, l am in
clined to think we can make a reduc
tion of 14 cents on tne thousand.”
Governor Candler is of the same
opinion as the comptroller general,
ONE KILLED AND ONE WOUNDED.

Friends of Mr. Wrenn will tie much
interested in the new role which he
has assumed, although tney do not

VISIIORS WERE OUICLASS|D
Could Not Play With the Locals, and
the Game Was Not a Very
Interesting or Excit
,ing One.
| Brunswick defeated Fitzgerajd again
yesterday afternoon, winning nil three
games of tne series.
On account of the poor game p.ayed
Tues,,av, the crowd .yesterday was
rather small, but they seemed to great
ly enjoy the game, although it was
neither interesting nor excu.ng, tne
visitors being greatly outclassed by
the locals, but the spectators got their
money’s worth by "guying" the dif
ferent player;; pud debating wuh Mar
tin, of the. Fitzgerald team, who is a
much better "bulldozer" than no Is a
Imll player.
Tne Brunsbvick hoys did not sc in to
get much interested in the game, as
they knew they could easily win
in the very, first inning they
started around the bases like happy’
children on a mprry-go-rounn, but
they thought it. best not to make too
many runs, and t .ey would hit the ball
and stop running before first base was
reached.
The visitors, however, worked hard
ail during me game, but were unable
to connect with Walker’s curves, and
oniy one matt reached third r.JHQ tip to
the lit Hi hug-tig, anil/only three the
balance of the Tame. ,
u ;tiM r was iFlYey Abbott -who
kept up the work until ihc ninth in
ning, when Fitzgerald scored three
runs by bunching a few Hits and an
inexcusable error by Hoyt in center
field. The locals made two runs in the
first inning, two in the second, and
then stopped for a white and only
scored two more during the game, al
though they r.omd probaoly have made
a dozen ihc game ended r, to ::
The Fitzgerald team does not claim
that their had playing lost the three
games, but they say r.iey were up I
against a strong team.
The poor, one-sided playing, howev
er, lias caused the locals to come oni.
nearly one hundred dollars behind, ns
the people did not turn out to see tin
last two games. It. is not the fault
of the .oeals, and the people will help
pay the shortage, and a list was start
ed last, night for that purpose, and Un
following names were added to it in a
very short while.
Metropolitan saloon $2.00

it is hoped that lovers of the sport
will help the boys out, as they need
the money.

CORDELL CHAMPIONS
MAY PLAY SATURDAY
CLUB WILL BE CHALLENGED FOR
A GAME WITH LOCALS
TOMORROW.
Brunswickians may probably have
the opportunity of witnessing a real
game of baseball tomorrow afternoon.
Toe Cordell: club will piay in Way
cross today, and Manager Miller will
wire them this morning, and try to
get the team to come down for a game
Saturday. It is thong..t that, the club
will accept the challenge, as some cor
respondence has been going on be
tween the two tarns relative to a game.
The Cordele aggregation maims the
championship of Georgia and Florida,
having defeated every goo . amaL. tii
club in the two states. They played
with the Gainesville, F’la., team, wnich
is said to be the champions of the
state, in Valdosta last week, and won
three close and exciting games.
If the champions do come they will
be given a hard uattle for the title
they are claiming, as Brunswick now
has somewhat of a championsiup team
herse.f, and the hoys say they will
give the club an interesting time, any
way.
THEY ARE STILL FIGHTING.

Some of the Stevedores Had Been

Doing the Work
Too Cheap.
Somewhat of a trust, has been form
oil in Brunswick, and now all of the
stevedores of the port are working to
gether. or rather they have held a.
meeting, fixed prices, wages, etc., and
are living up iO them.
it seems tnat some of I no stevedores
had been ret.ucing prices on unloading
vessels; in fact the opposition was
growing so strong tnat. they were
making but little out of too business.
They all got together, however, and
are now charging the old prices widen
have been the standari. lor years.
\\nile no partn rship has been form
ed among the stevedores, they are an
working together as to prices and fire
geuing along very nicely.
The meeting of the stevedores and
their fixing a regular rate does not
effect the vessels, as the price named
by them for the loading of vessels
is about, the same as paid-in all parts
aim the step was .taken only to protect
the business in Brunswick.

A Card.
It appears that Mr. C. A. Steiner re
quested the city council to abate the
blowing of whistles by Plant system
engines, and tne ringing of cow bells
near the Standard Oil house, and!
termed such a nuisance.
I, being a Southern railway man.
and the above artic.e designating the
Plant System engines, ihe Plant Sys
tem people being under the impression
that l was the authdr, are feeling very
Miter ai what they term the injustice
of one railroad man to another, know
ing, as they do, that 1 am aware of the
necessity or blowing whistles at those
points. Yours truly,
C. L. STEin HR,
Foreman So. Hy. Cos.
