BRUNSWICK, GA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1902.
BRUNSWICK MAY j
HE CARNIVAL;
THE MATTER IS NOW BEING;
TALKED OF AMONG OUR
CITIZENS.
MEETING WITH MUCH FAVOR
With Fair Grounds, Race Track,
Grandstand, etc., in Good Condi
tion, it Will Cost But Little
to Have the Fair.
Brunswti I. may have a fair, carnival
or something in the amusement line
Hits fall.
The card published in these columns
yesterday, 'signed "it" created con
siderable talk in the city generally
ami it was favorably commented upon
by prominent citizens and many sug
gestions were advanced as to what
kind of an entertainment should ami
could be arranged.
it a well known fact that the
first fair, given by the Southeastern
fair association, was a, magnificent
success, and the second one would
have succeeded had it been given in
the fall instead of in June, when it.
was too hot. for such an entertain
ment .
At prosont wo have* Douutllul fair
grounds in good condition, wita a good
race track, baseball grounds, etc., and
a large building which could easily
accommodate all exhibits, and also
have room tor many attractions.
Several cities in this vicinity are
lo have a fair or carnival during the
next two months and there will be
any number ol: attractions which
would come hue. Owners ot race
horses are now sending them down
south and this could be made a tea
ture of. the entortainwont, A iwwi
mg limy he add in trie near future
,-itsu some sups taken in regard to
the matter.
The expense of bavin,;, a fair would
he a great deal less than on previous
occasions, win n the association had to
pay for tin: erection of the grounds,
i-ice track, grand stand, and every
thing els". Tins ii- all now in a first
class condition and there would not be
very much expense attached to a fan
or carnival given on a small scale.
The merchants will probably take an
in ten. .-1 in the matter, as it would
iin-nn ceiiKileruhlc to them, as farmers
and oile rs would come from the sur
rounding country, and it is truly hop
ed that the matter will receive the
attention of our people generally.

A GENEROUS GIFT.
Henry Phipps, of New York Helps tire
Boers.
London, September 25.—A dispatch
from the Hague today confirms the re
port that, ihe donor of the SIOO,OOO
. at to General Botha for the relief oi
<i-Mitulc Boers was Henry Phipps,
New York city.
\ in notifying General Hot ha of the
g ; s -Mr. Phipps wrote trout Beaufort
■ 15 Scotland, September 20, that
be ini-1 li:s family had followed flic
course of fur war with anxious hearts
and were eag.et for the sake of both
sides that a Jusft. ending might be
made. V.
"Now that the wai over,” con
tinued Mr. Phipps, “it if a privilege,
and 1 believe a duty, to d.i something
to relieve the sufferings caused'tby the
war. J feel that the best servit v I
could render would be Lo provide SIOO,
000 for the relief of tne Boer widows I
and young orphans’ fund, to bo dis
bursed by you and two others. My
desire is that the temporary misery
of the women and children should he
relieved and at the same time 1 trusi
nothing will he done which could he
justly described as unfriendly to Great
Britain."
MILITARY ADVISORY BOARD.
It Has Completed Its Work of For
mulating a Bill.
Atlanta. September 25.-—The com
mission consisting of three members
of the state military advisory board
appointed to draw a bill to be presen
ted to the next legislature asking for
a revision of tne military laws of the
state, completed its work late this
afternoon. The provisions oi the mea
sure will uot be given out tor publi
cation until after the advisory board
passes upon it. Chairman Usiiei
Thomason stated today that the com
mission would make us report to the
board and that the measure, if it
meets with the approval of the board,
will then he handed over to tlie gov
ernor for his final consideration. II
approved by the governor, the bill will
then be introduced in Cite legislature.
Coi. Thomason says that the commis
sion lias given every suggestion the
closest consideration and believes that
a bill will be presented tliat will meet
with the approval of the hoard, the
governor and the general assembly.
FUEL WILL BE HIGH.
Coal and Wood Are Both Going to
Take a Big Jump.
Fuel this winter is going to be way
up it tin; great coal strike is not set
tled.
Already coal and wood have both
gone up and when the cold weather
comes on they will noth go higher.
Of course the rise will not be felt as
much in Brunswick as in the larger
cities, but still it is thought that, the
prices will he considerably higher than
in the past. Already in the large
cities the fuel is daily going up, and
in many places the people are using
gasoline for purposes which taey have
been using coal. Tlie mines in Penn
sylvania are now very short of coal
and have not enough to supply me
demand.
RICE CROP ALL RIGHT.
Not Hurt by Recent Rains, and Grain
is of Fine Quality.
Tne rice planters along the const
are actively at work now getting in
1 Ito first crop of rice, the rice has
not been at all damaged uy the rains
tiiat have recently fallen, and Lite crop
now being taken out of the fields is
of line quality.
it. was feared some time ago that
damage from rains would result, but
these feats proved to be unfounded.
So far us can be told the crop lias suf
fered alisiiluley no diminution la quun
tity or quality on tills account. The
extent of the crop as compared with
tin- average yield, ’however, cannot be
Fine for some two weeks.

PRESIDENT REPORTED CONSID
ERABLY IMPROVED AND NO
DANGER IS FELT.
REMAIN QUILT IWO WEEKS
Attending Physicians Tell Chief Exe
cutive He Must Stay in the White
House for That Length
of Time.
Washington. September 25.—Presi
dent. Roosevelt is mncfl better today
and his leg has given him but litt.o
trouble. Ik says be feels as well as
usual, but on the advice of the physi
cians, who have been wiut him all
day, he has been quiet and remained
in bed most of the day. It is not
thought that there is any danger of
the president being very ill on ac
count. of Lie operation, but the doc
tors will take no chances and are do
ing everything possible for the wound.
Air. Roosevelt reported that he slept
well last night, and said that his leg
did not give hint any trouble at all.
Secretary Cortelyou issued a short
statement tonight. In wnicti ne 'said
that the president, was much improv
ed and Yiad rested well during the)
night.
For the next two weeks, the doctors
will not allow him to go out at all
auu he will remain in the white house
altogether.
The slight, fever which the president
had yesterday afternoon had disap
peared anil his temperature was nor
mal. In fact, 'he felt so well that
3c told Hie doctor he would like to
get up and walk around. Dr. Lung
strongly protested against this, tell
ing the president that it was absolutely
u. - ' ssary for him to remain quiet., and
PresTdeiit Roosevelt good until redly
gave in. The pain In his leg had
practically disappeared and the con
ditions there were so favorable that
the doctor did not think it necessary
to pstress the limb, the president’s
leg is tightly bandaged and Dr. Lung
docs not look for a recurrence of tho
swelling, although ihls would bo
nothing unusual and would cause no
alarm.
There is an accumulation of busi
ness demanding the president's atten
tion and be will be able to dispose
of much of if. without serious personal
inconvenience. According to present
plans, during his period ot recovery
the president will spend his time at
the temporary white house.
Mr. Roosevelt expects to view the
parade of the Grand Army two weeks
from today, but it is not yet known
whether lte will remain here during the
i nlire interval between now and then.
