of the Matter.
N*-w - was leeched here yesterday
of the formation of a gigantic ‘naval
stores trust, or combination, whioit
v ; ■ , mnnass in it;- scope all of the
1.. /naval .-'lores companies of door
stA vnd Florida. This scheme 'ru

have its headquarters

will lie capitalised at two miliioi del

lord. Si uiltem "aval Stores Cos., of
Savannah and the ~owning Company,
of Brunswick.
\) this stage nf the game if is at i
most impossible to make an intelli I
gent forages st. of what practical ef
feet the propose-.l change will mske on
the local situation. Major C. Downing
was seen by a News reporter yester
day referenee to Ge ni a ft or afi<l lfe re
fused to say jus< what would In
done. He. admitted, however, that trtq
formation of the new company, whi
is to he known as :be Consolhiated
Naval Stores Company, was under
consideration by the parties named
above and said that it was not unlil -!y
lhat trie Downing Company would lie
a party to the combination. Mr.
Downing says that this amalgamation
of naval stores interest is Sue solely
to the fact that operators of Florida
have grown weary of shipping t.neir
output to Georgia poits at a consider
ably aigher freight rate than obtains
in Florida. He also points out that
this additional cost in the matter ot
freight rales, not only works a hard
ship on tne operators, but is likewise
a blow to file shipper who t forc
ed to meet competition of those who
enjoy. bettor ra-es and thus have the
a-lvar. < f both the Il un.-;we* and
Sa rantiah ih-ab \
When asl. and, whether or not \to
Downing Company would lose
identity in the movement, Mr. Povl
ing was reticent and finally refused to
discuss tills phase of the situation, a .
mitting, however, that his company
would be stockholders in the new or
ganization.
Under these circumstances, as stat
ed a.iovc. it is not known to what ex
tent the local situation will be ef
fected, but it seems that unuer the
new arrangement, both Brunswick and
Savannah will necessarily suffer in flic
way of decreases in tne volume ot
business handled at these ports. Mr.
Downing expressed regret at the situa
tion but said it appeared inevitable,'
and tnat a series of unusual circunp
stances strangely effects tne situation
and leaves practically but this course
open for the dealers.
The News will endeavor to keep in
touch with tne situation and will
post its readers as raphtiy as events
?ranspiie. In the meantime the peo
ple of Brunswick may rest assured
that in Major Downing and the Down
ing Company, they have good friends
and Brunswick wnl not suffer unneces
sarily in the matter.

Dr. O'Hara who was applying the

"airs. Glover came to i)r. Sampsell
to have her teeth extracted. | uni
her family physician and was there to
administer anesthetics and did so. I
administered at light before each

After the fourth tooth was extracted

As the fifth was being pulled she
collapsed in the chair and became

TWO BATTFESHIPSARE
HURRIED TO THE SOUTH
A PEDESTRIAN TALKS.
Thinks the City Should Build a Road
For The Cyclist.
Editor News:
in the report of the proceedings
of the council meeting Thursday
night, we find that one Hundred amt
fifty-five bicyclists have petitioned for
the privilege of overturning baby car
riages, crippling little children and
maiming and bruising the middle
aged and feeble, by using the east
sidewalk of Union street for bicycle
riding. Ming a with our surprise is
much indignation.
Now one hundred and titty-live fail;
far short of being a majority of the
citizens of Brunswick, and our city
council, being composed of wise and
thougntful men, who care more for
the safety of the many than for the
convenience nt the few—th" rights of
pedestrians are safe in their hands,
and we need make no appeal to
them.
We have seen many places nlueli
smaller than Brunswick, where bicy
cles were not allowed on any side
walk whatever, exeepi perhaps on
some country road, or through a wil
derness of weeds like tne west side
walk of Union street.
Wo have heard oj one place where
the bicyclists were so anxious to
monopolize the sidewalks that they
were allowed to do so. but they were
compelled to dismount every time
they met or passed a person walking.
When bicycles were allowed on Un
ion street we felt that our i.ves were
iff danger every time we venture,l to
walk there, but of late the freedom
from care has made the walk a plea
sure.
Union street is h! least ninety feet
wide, and there is am hie room for
vehicles and bicycles without inter
fering with the sidewalks at all, and
we sincerely hope M at the city 00-nii
cil and citizens will cooperate in
making a bicycle path from Dart
mom., street to Gloucester street and
then pedestrian or bicyclist can pro
ceed on fils way rejoicing conscious
that he is not, endangering the life 01-
! i 1111 ; ef any one.
A PEDESTRIAN.
LYNCHED MAM'S BODY.
Ben Mobley’s Remains Found in a
Lime Sink in Dooly County.
Clrdele, Ga.. September 12.—The no
gro brute, Ben Mobley, who on last
Friday afternoon assaulted the little
daughter of Mr. Granger, near \Ve
mnia, in Dooly county, and who was
on Saturday night taken by a mob ami
lynched and his body concealed by the
mob, was on yesterday round in a lime
sink on the farm of Mr. J. F. Collin::
about three miles sinitneast ofCordele
by Mrs. Collins and another lady by
the name of Mrs. Murphy. The small
pond tiiat contained the body was
about 300 yards from the residence

-- ........ c.). UIRMII 1 ~< ttltu it
halt miles from the place wluie the
crime was committed.
The discovery was made in this
way: Mrs. Collins had a flock of geese
that was missing, and while she was
out looking for them, she saw some
buzzards flying around the lime sink,
and she concluded that some of her
geese were dead and, on going near,
she saw the body of the negro Moat
ing in (he water. This fact was im
mediately made known, the coroner
was notified, and on last night he held
an inquest over tho dead body.
The body showed no signs of hang
ing, as his neck was not broken. Tne
body showed no signs of shooting
other than two or three holes in the
body near the lungs, and it could not
be definitely ascertained whether they
were gunshot holes or not.
The coroner, Mr. J. W. Graham,
summoned a Jury and empanneleil
them and the matter was investigated
as b'-sl as il could he, and tne jury
returned a verdict that the n,ogro
came to his death by the hands ot
unknown persons, u is not known
why -the mob wanted to- conceal the
Beautifying the Squares.
’Hie good work In regard to beauti
fying Oglethorpe Square next to the
courthouse has begun, and it is a much
needed step. The enterprise and pub
lic spirit of those no have the ma

more of this were done the appear-i
ance of our streets would soon h<4
vastly improved.
