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.

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 ~r vi • / v 11;• . 1 • . -- ........ 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 ter in hand is to bo commended. If more of this were done the appear-i ance of our streets would soon h<4 vastly improved. PRICE FIVE CENTS.
