Unfortunately it appears that the acts of the commission are not open for review, at the same time the peo ple are thinking on the subject and those mernbrs of the board who were inS'romentil in bilnging about result referred to, will in all probability have occasion to retrospect as to the motives that actuated them in depriv ing their fellow citizens of a right that they were thoroughly entitled to.

BRUNSWICK, GA., SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1902 LOOKS DARK FOR SMALL ISLANDS —♦— EVENTUALLY, IT IS CALCULATED. SEA WILL ENGULF MAR TINIQUE. PEOPLE ART HORROR SI RIKTN This Expectant Catastrophe it Is Said, is Due to Recent Eruptions That Have Been Going on at Mont Pelee. New York, Sept. 6. It is generally believed that the island of Marti nique is doomed to total destruction, and the fear is that when the catas trophe cornea, Gamieloupe will be vis ited by an all destructive tidal wave cables the ’Point-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe, correspondent of The Herald. Busi ness is absolutely at a standstill. Few shops are open, and if it were not for the efforts of a small num ber of more valiant souls, hundreds would starve to death here because of their fear of a more terrible death. Details that have been received dur ing the last two days prove that the eruption of Mont Pelee of Aug. 30 was far more violent than any of the earlier explosions. Pelee’s Crater Is Enormous, As the eruptions continue, the mouth of Mont Pelee grows in size. It Is now of enormous proportions. Morne Raeroix, one of the peaks that reared skyward front the side of Pe lee has fallen bodily into the crater and has been completely swallowed. There seems to be a side pressure in the crater and the burning miasm widens perceptibly every day. Clouds no more hang about the crest of Mont Pelee. The terrific heat seems to drive everything away. The column of (lame and smoke rears directly into the heavens so that its top is lost to sight. In tlie darkness of the night it has the appearance of a stream of molten iron, standing fixed between heaven and earth. From Morne Capote the relief troops were compelled to make a quick re treat, although they succeeded in talc ing out a few wounded. The entire country, nearly to Fort de France, is buried under a deep cover of ashes. This has made it almost impossible to find tlie bodies of those who have perished while fleeing to the sea coast. Earth Shook With Great Violence. Constarrtrne Carra one of the few who succeeded in escaping from Morne Rouge after the explosion, found refuge on the steamer Ksk. She was with 12 others in her house when Pelee gave its first warning of the disaster which it was about to pour_ upon the v.llage. She said that the first ex plosion destroyed many houses. Sue was hurled with great force against the wall of the room in which she was sitting. On recovering from the shock she ran outside, and there saw three separate tongues of fire sweeping down from the mouth of the volcano. The earth shook with so great violence that, she could not retain her feet. She was blinded by the glare of the flames, 'tne heat was so terrific that her flesh was blistered. She awaited the death which she believed was inevitable. Fortunately, the fire swept a iittlo to one side of her and sin; was saved. Score* of Persons Drowned. At Grande Anse the tide swept 300 feet in shore, destroying many houses and drowning scores of inhabitants. Even at Fort de France the most stout hearts have lost courage. Colonel Lecoeur has reported to his government that it is his opinion the entire Island of Martinique will have to be abandoned. He asks for as sistance in transporting the inhabi tants to the other islands of the West Indian group. Carrollton White Primary. Carrollton, Ga., Sept. 6.—Hon. Leon P.
