Our telegraph office closes at that hour, and the long-distance telephone is never in working order when one really wants to talk to a neighboring city. We did succeed in getting Jack sonville at 11 o’clock, but the naval -Tores men were still in session at tnat hour and nothing could be learn ed of the proceedings, only that the men present were having some dif ficulty in naming the officers of the new company. Another effort was made to get telephone connections with Savannah or Jacksonville shortly after 12 o’clock, bui neither city could be reached, therefore we are unable to give tic- proceedings of the meeting.

Peoplem the vicinity of tne News office yesteruay afternoon had just cause to Imagine that Admiral Dewey's fleet was in toe harbor during a bom bardment staunt. or that the rough riders were charging on tne heights at El Canoy. However, sqch wag not the case, and George Houston, the ebony hued indi vidual, who supervises i% wor.. in the smelterlng rooms of the News has had the fact practically demonstrated that molten lead and water will not mix without a stout kick on the part of the lead. In going through his routine work yesterday, George acci dently turned a bucket oi water into his metal pot, and as a result,, that, ad junct was thrown about forty feet in the air and an explosion followed that put Mount Peiee out of business and Scattered a coat of lava over the en tire room, giving George a very good share of it. Fortunately, however, he was not severely burned, but was badly 'scared and the experience nas given him a pretty good idea of t~e eruption of ML Vesuvius. BRUNSWICK, GA., THURSDAY LOANING, OCTOBER 2, 1902. ELECTION WAS A OUIET ONE —* — ONLY A SMALL VOTE WAS POLL ED IN THIS COUNTY YES TERDAY. JUDGE ROSS CARRIED GLYNN This Was the Only Contest in There Was Opposition—The Vote for County Of ficers. But for the fact that all of the saloons were closed one would have hardly known that an election was be ing held in Glynn county yesterday. There was no excitement whatever around the polls and only a small number of votes were polled. Tms quiet election, however, was due on account of the fact that there was no opposition in the election, ex cept. for the place of associate jus tjee of the supreme court. A num ber of the friends of Judge Ross work ed hard all day while a few support ers of Judge Candler put in several hours work, and had it not been lor these workers the vote would not have been over a couple- of hundred. There was not a single negro vote cast during tue day. Of course they have no ticket in the field and did not want to vote for tne democrats. The election managers had rather a dull time of it, and spent the day cracking jokes trying lo get C. M. Til ton and Ed. Dart, two of tue clerks, to do a little work. They had quite a job counting the votes last night, however, as the ticket was an unus ually long one and contained some forty or fifty names. In the race for judge of the su preme court, Judge Boss, of Macon, carried the county by a good ma jority, receiving •>"> vo*. m. while Judge Candler oniy received U 4. The other candidates for stato offices received about the same vote, only a little scratching being indulged In. There 1s still one populist in Glynn county-—nobody knows who he is, but he Is here nevertheless and went to the polls yesterday and voted a Straight, populist ticket, which was headed by Judge Haines. The total vote cast was ;!29, which was unusually small. The local can didates received the following votes; For senator, W, F. Symons 329 TT5r representative, E. C. Butts. .327 For clerk, H. F, dußighon 327 For sheriff, W. H. Berrie ...328 For tux eceiver, J. E. Bubberly. .327 For treasurer, li. S. Lor 82'.) For surveyor, W. I''. I’enriinnm. .320 For tax collector, H. J. Bead. .. .82;.

A telegram was received in tho city yesterday, from Savannah, an nouncing that G. F. Jom of this city, who fell from a second-story window Saturday night, was in a critical con dition. On Tuesday Mr. Jones was reported as resting easier and seemed some what better, but yesterday ne was in a bad condition. The accident occurred in rather a peculiar way, Mr. Jones lias her n go ing to Savannah quite frequently late ly, and he always occupied the same room at the hotel. He went there Saturday and. not noticing was given a different room. Late that night, Mr. Jones was taken slightly id. The room that he usually occupies has a balcony and Mr. Jones feeling rather warm, walked out to get some tresh air. but he was in another room which had no balcony and he stepped from the room and fell to the sidewalk be low. Had St not been tor the prompt arrival of physicians, he probably would have died from flis severe in juries. Selling Whiskey on Sunday. W. M. Morgan, a negro, who runs a restaurant on Bay street, iias been arrested charged with selling wniskoy on Sunday and also for s< lling it with out a license. CHS DLL SCOW A BIG INCREASE STATEMENT ISSUED BY POSTOF FICE DEPARTMENTS OF RE CEIPTS FOR YEAR, ATLANTA’S GOOD SHOWING Brunswick Also Made an Increase and Keeps Well Up With Other Cities of the State—The Figures. Washington, October I.—Atlanta continues to hold her own among the principal postoffic.es of the United States, as will lie shown by the busi ness statement, now In course of pre paration by tho auditor of tap post office department For several years the race between Atlanta, Columbus, Ohio, Omaha, Nebr.. and Toledo, 0., for supremacy in the matter of grow; receipts, has been close and exciting. The large increase In the volume of business transacted at the Atlanta postoffiee during the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1 802. inspired Postmas ter Blodgett to hope that ~.s office would gain a peg or two on its wes tern rivals. The accompanying statement shows that. Atlanta made a big jump during the past, year, but at the same time her western competitors took advan tage of tho prevailing prosperity throughout the land, and made sub sfantlaly increase in their gross re ceipts, thus preventing Atlanta from forging ahead of them on the list of first-class offices. The returns from all of the principal cities have not yet. been compiled, hence the numeri cal standing of Atlanta has not been fully determined. The following table shows that sh n has kept, pace with her class of last year, and St IS fart to assume from the figures given that she still holds twenty eighth place, or better, 1902, HOI, Atlanta $415,392.04 $357,233.04 Omaha, Nebr., . 438,71 1.72 390,389.30 Columbus, 0... 438,929.01 395,757.88 Toledo 382,442.17 354,795.99 Charleston, fc>.

Citizens are Taking Heed at Orders of Supt. Spear. Tne weeds, which have taken full charge o! the vacant lots in the city of late, are now being cut down at a rapid rate and the city will soon be clear of them again. This is being done by owners of the vacant lots in accordance with the orders issued by Supt. Spears, of the city sanitation de partment. Now that the city authorities have required owners of lots to have tho weeds removed, would it not be a good Idea for the city to have the chaingang remove some of the weeds on the streets of the city? in sev eral sections of the city, the weeds are growing ala. rapid rale and the city should have them removed. COMMISSIONER S DECISION. A Change Made in Charges for De murrage.
