BRANTLEY TALKS
OP SITUATION
—t—
POPULAR CONGRESSMAN THINKS
DEMOCRATS MAY CONTROL
THE NEXT HOUSE.
OUTLOOK IS VERY BRIGHT
i
He is Also of the Opinion That the
Democrats Have an Excellent
Chance of Electing a
President in 1904.
Hon. W. G. Brantley, the able repre
sentative of the Eleventh district in
congress, together with Mrs. Brant
ley, reached the city yesterday from
Blackshear and are quartered at the
Oglethorpe.
Col. Brantley paid the News an
appreciated call last night, and talk
ed interestingly of the political situa
tion generally. He Is of the opinion
that Chairman Griggs has done mag
nificent service in the cause of demo
cracy as chairman of the congression
al committee, and while he says the
odds aro against us, he would not be
surprised to see the country render
the house to the democrats in the
fall election.
in speaking of the Budden retire
ment of Speaker Henderson, Mr.
Brantley says he thinks that the ac
tion of Mr. Henderson was due more
to his fears as for reelection as speak
er of the house, rather than to his
success in the Third lowa district.
"Speaker Henderson,” says Mr.
Brantley, "Is decidedly in an awkward
auTTiiue. His immediate constituency
are demanding a revision of the tar
iff and the great majority of the wot
ors in his district are committed to
ihis policy, whereas the republican
party as a whole favor a protective
tariff, and on this issue, he woulu
have to face his colleagues in his
contest for speaker. He was Between
two fires and sought cover.”
Mr. Brantley holds the opinion that
the tariff question will be the cardinal
features of tne next presidential elec
tion and argues that all questions, such
as the trusts, Imperialism, etc., are
secondary to this great question,
which, after all. Is the great balance
wheel from which auxiliary measures
get their momentum. He thinks the
coal strike In the east and "one year
of Roosevelt’’ together with other ap
parent evils, have all served to play
into democracy’s hands, "and” said the
congressman, "while I am not a pro
paet, it does seem to me mat if the
democrats will look after their fences
and harmonize within the party, write
a good stable platform and nominate
some man who enjoys tue confidence
ol the people that they will have a
splendid chance of placing a democra
tic president in the White house In
1904.” Mr. Brantley sayjs he has
been taking a little trip over his dis
trict, and with the exception of an
outlook for a snort cotton crop, he
finds the people prosperous and happy.
He is enjoying the very best of health
himself, and, If appearances count for
anything, he will be in good shape to
give the republicans a good, lively tus
sle when congress meets In December.

NOPE OF THE REPUBLICAN®.
They Expect to Build Foundation In
Alabama.
Montgomery. Ala.. Sept. 20 —The It,
aal Republicans are not enthused
over the outcome of the state conven
tion at Birmingham, though there Is
evident satisfaction that It all went
off well where there were so many
possibilities of discord. They had
hoped against hope that some Moses
would be found among the Industrial
giants of the mineral region whose
leadership would give promise of a
victory this year. As he could not
be found, they take comfort in the
cleanness and respectability of the
ticket put out and will fight for a big
showing in November, and trust to the
future for success at the polls. They
see In the outcome a foundation, not
a house.
Hon. Charles P. I-ane, the nominee
for lieutenant governor, came down
to Montgomery, and says the first,
thing he will do will be to challenge
his opponent. Dr. R. Cunningham, to
a Joint canvass of the state. Among
the projects immediately In hand by
the new white party Is to get some
btg men from the north to come into
the state and talk protection and gold
money. The ticket has on It two
bankers. Brown for treasurer, and
Karter for secretary of state. The
manufacturers are not represented.

SOUTHERN SENDS GREETINGS.
Bnunswlckian Writes of the Balmness
of Gotham.
Montclair, N. J., Sept. 18, 1902. ,
Editor Brunswick News: Please send
paper to above address until I change
location. I go into New York City
daily and enjoy delightful suburban
scenery and drives after a days busi
ness In the metropolis. Nature is
clothed in her most charming garb at
this season of the year. The autumn
tints defy the artist’s brush. A light
frost and crisp morning air have sti
mulates the nerves and circulation of
the Southern lethargy into vital activ
ity, which open up new incentive to
live and join the vast army of human
ity in the hurly) burly of life. The
great multitudes lof obscure humanity
who never appear in the arena of pub
lic events are suffering and the win
ter’s outlook is gloomy for them in
deed, with a great coal famine looking
them In the face. The small families of
•modest means, who usually have their
winter’s supply of coal stored away in
cellars, at this time have not a pound
supplied on account of the great strike.
The outlook for this class of popula
tion forbodes much suffering. We of
the south are nbt profoundly inspired
nor appreciative of the many comforts
and resources of our country tor hap
piness and contentment. I am hardly
located yet and jot these few items
down from a hasty observation.

CHARMED WITH BRUNSWICK
The Gentlemen Expressed Themselves
as Much Pleased With Their
Property in This ,
City.
J. A. Dobson, assistant general man

water port of this division.
This was the first visit of Superin
tendent Vaughn to this city anil he
was simply charmed with Brunswick
both as a deep water terminus and as
a distributing point for the great west.
He expressed himself as having great
hopes for this port in the future and
he says that the Southern railway!
have only the kindest feeling for
Brunswick and that it will be their
purpose in future, as in past, to divert
every pound of freight to this port
that she is legitimately entitled to.

the guests of General Agent Candler,
who made their stay a pleasant one.
They left last night for other points
on the Chattanooga and Brunswick di

A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Union Street Resident Tells How to
Settle Bicycle Matter.
Mr. Editor: If you will kindly give
me space in your paper, I would like
to express my views on the much dis
cussed question of weeds and bicycles
on Union street.
Being a resident and property own
er on Union street and also a bicycl
ist, I think 1 can look at it impar
tially. If our city lathers would re
quire property owners or tenants to
keep their sidewalks clean, both sides
of Union street could be used and
not all passing to and fro be confined
to one side as it is now. This would
afford ladles and chlluren who are
nervous over wheels, a safe and un
disturbed walk on the western side,
and the bicyllst could still have the
right to use the side that was made,
especially for their convenience.
When bicyclist are allowed the use
of one sidewalk that does not take
away the rights of pedestrians, for if
they are not willing to share that
walk with the wheels they can have
the entire western side (if it was
kept clean) which is room enough for
an ordinary person.
If this Is practical for Union 'street
(I don't see why it is not), could it
not be enforced on other streets and
thus the who.e town present a Cleaner
and more attractive appearance, and
walking, a thing possible along some
sidewalks? The greatest difficulty ia
In the vacant lots and there is where
most of our weeds are, and property
owners should be held responsible.
This is to my mind tne best way to
settle the discussed problems. S.
