CITIZENS ARE INDIGNANT.
Complaining About iheir Names Be
ing Left From Jury List.
The recent revision of the grand
and petit jury lists of Glynn count
and the way in which it was clone, is
still being talked of in all sections of
the city, and many citizens who have,
without reason, been left from the
list, are indignant, and have a com
plaint to make.
It seems that uio jury commission
ers, or a part of them, simply placed
who they wanted on the list and did
likewise in striking tax payers, who
have been on the list for years.
The News has received any num
her of communications from different
citizens, some of which we, nave pub
lished, and others will he published

drills, ana each is anxious to capture
the pretty company medal.
The Naval Reserves are now in a
first class condition, and new life
has neon taken in the company affairs
by the members. They attend the
weekly drills regularly, and seem to
lie anxious to bring the company to
the from as one of the best in the

“CITIZEN” WRITES CARD
OF IHE JURY REVISION
SOME QUESTIONS ASKED IN
CONNECTION WITH DRAWING
OF THE JURORS.
Editor Brunswick News:
I was absent from the city on Sun
uay, therefore did not read your in
teresting paper until this morning.
I see that certain modes of draw
ing the grand and petit jurors have
been criticised and no doubt, justly
for a part, not all of the commission
ers.
Mr. Editor, have you ever heard of
■i man who he'd a responsible posi
tion, where the rights of citizens have
been made subservient to petty spite,
a man, or men, so-called that
could dance, in their perverted ignor
ance to a tune attempted to be played
on the bass (base) string of a gourd
fiddle.
Another question Mr. Editor. Did
you t man wno, cring
ing nf and Political
Supremacy, was the first Ingrate to
desert, when defeat was at hand?
Did you ever hear of a man whose
greatest desire was to throw stones
at a glass house, whose moral, intel
lectual and political edifice was noth
ing but. broken glass and shattered
frames? Did you ever hear of a hypo
crite who professed Christianity, on
Sunday, and slandered hi fellow
man on Monday, in plain English, “a
Sunday Christian and a Monday devil.”
Did you ever hear of a man. when
lying prostrate on a tied of sickness,
accepted the kind ministrations of a
true and noble woman, who attempted
by his influence, to place shackles upon
her husband.
Did you ever hear of a man who
was the recipient of more kindness
at the hands of his friends than he
ever deserved?
A man who knows no motive but
seif interest and with an eastern devo
tion. kneels at the shnne of knavish
political devotion to the strongest
party ?
If you have. Mr. Editor, say noth
ing about it, the "galled jade” always
winces. CITIZEN.

AN INCONVENIENT SCHEDULE.
Brunswickians Complaining About Sa
vannah Trains.
The Brunswick traveling public is
complaining seriously about the sche
dules now in effect between Brunswick
and Savannah, and recently (he News
has received several communications
from citizens complaining about the
schedule.
il seems that it is now impossible
for one to leave Brunswick in the
morning and return that night. Tin
trains leave Savannah about 2 o'clock,
in the afternoon, and as it does not
arrive until ten or eleven, the pas
sengers do not have nuien time to
| spend in the Forest City,
In the past the schedules have been
I arranged so that one could leave here
in the morning, spend the entire day
in Savannah and return early at night,
but recently u,.s schedule has been
discontinued and now it is Impossible
to leave Brunswick and attend to
tmsinedh in Savannah and return the
same day.
This schedule could now lie very
esi ilv arranged to suit tne people a.
a train leaves Savannah at 5 o’clock
in the afternoon, but there are no
connections made at Josnp. The
train arrives in Brunswick at. fi:lo,
leaves Jesup about 4:3(J. this train
could leave Brunswick a lew hours
later and make the connections and
avoid this very inconvenient sche
dule.
It is understood that the Southern
will shortly he asked by a number of
citizens to make the change.
S. B, ICDAMS ‘'APPOINTED.
He Will Serve Out Lewis’ Term on
Supreme Court.
Gov. Candler, has appointed Hon.
Samuel B. Adams, of Savannah, jus
tici of the Supreme Court for Hie in
terim until a successor to .Justice Hal.
T. Lewis can be elected by the people
and qualified.
Mr. Adams will accept trie appoint
ment, and is now in Atlanta to confer
with the Governor. He, will serve as
associate justice of the Supreme Court
until about, November 1, as the new
justice to be elected by the people
can not lie qualified until the meeting
of the legislature, which will have to
declare tne result,, as in the ease of
the vote for governor.
The legislature convenes October
22, but it will he ’several days after
that time before the result of the elec
tion can be declared, and the new jus
tice sworn in.
Tii other name which Gov. Candler
had under consideration In connec
tion witn the appointment was that of
Hon. Thomas Lawson, of Putnam, for
merly a judge of the Superior Court,
and ex-member of Congress from the
eighth district.
OGLETHORPE ST,
TO BE WIDENED
IT WILL BE MADE ONE OF THE
BEST BUSINESS STREETS
IN THE CITY.
CONTRACT LET YESTERDAY
V
Bowen & Thomas, the Well Known
Contractors, Will Do The Work
And They Will Begin
At Once.
In Cue course of u few weens. Ogle
thorpe street, between a point near
Gloucester and Monk will be widened
fifteen feet making it one of tne wid
est iii the city and ('specialty adapted
to the wholesale business, which is
gradually moving then 1 .
This was finally decided on yes
terday. when all of tue property own
ers in this section agreed to the plan.
The new buildings which are to be
built there will be fifteen feet shorter
than the old ones and the latter will
at once be made to conform to tne
new ones.
This will make a great improvement,
in the appearance of the street, in
fact will make it one of the haiiusom
est in the city, and will greatly facili
tate the business of tne thoroughfare.
A- staled above all the property
owners along this section have eon
rented to the changes an., Messrs.
Bowen and Thomas, the contractors
will do t’ho work.
This is a move in the right, direc
tion and tilt; News is pleased to note
it.
NO NOMINATION, NO PRIMARY.
State Democratic Committee Takes
the Party Bridle Off in Election.
The State Democratic Executive
Committee at its meeting in Atlanta
Monday decided that the supreme
court jtuige for the unexplred term
cause:! by the resignation of Judge
Hal T. Lewis will he elected in tne
general election on October I, unless
mere is a populist or republican eandi
date in which event the committee
•.ill meet and nominate a .emoeratic
candidate.
1 nere was a strong effort on the
part of Judge Gohnr’s and Russell’s
friends to have a primary or mass
meeting for the purpose of a conven
tion, hut the committee seemed to he
inclined toward Candler. The matter
will lie settled on October Isl unless
some other than a democrat an
nounces.
Judge Russell, unless he resigns his
nomination for the superior court
judgship, can hardly run for tne su
pr< me court, as the voter will hardly
life tt) vote for one man for two dif
ferent offices on the same day.
