CAPT. NEWMAN
OH THE SITUATION
THE SAYS THAT HE WILL ANSWER
TO THE CALL OF THE
PEOPLE.
ON MAYORALITY QUESTION
Captain Newman Talks Very Inter
estingly of the Issues of
the Coming Cam
paign
The card of “New Town Voter." in
Saturday’s News came in t,he nature
ot a surprise in political circles and
was the absorbing topic Saturday
and on all sides Captain Newman
has loomed up as a probable mayor
ality candidate in the coming muni
cipal election.
Indeed, so many favorable comments
were heard cm the subject that a
News representative sought Captain
Newman for an interview on the sut>
jeet and when questioned he said that,
he was not seeking the office in anj)
sense of the word. sfTTi! if the people
desired him to serve in the capacity
of mayor and sufficiently demonstrat
ed that fact, that he would feel it his
duty to yield to their wishes and be-i
coipe a candidate.
The captain said he had no stictures
to make on Mayor Emanuel, at the
same time he felt that al! good citi
zeus should answer when duty calls.
From all indicaions the News is of
the opinion tnat he will be in the race.
WILL BE NO MERGER.
The Savannah Morning News, dis
cussing toe. proposed merger of the
Atlantic Coast Line and he L. and N.
says:
No merger of the properties of the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company
and the lAHiisville and Nashville Rail
road Company Is looked for. Ii is be
lieved that the Atlantic Coast Line
will simply control the majority of the
stock of the L. and N and that the for
mer will direct the policy of the lat
ter. The genera! impression has been
there will be a consolidation.
It is believed in railroad eircls that
the management of the two properties
will remain distinct and separate. It
is not likely that there will he even
joint agencies. Only In an interchange
of business and in a mutual workng
for the advantage of the two lines will
the control of the Louisville and Nash
viiic by the Atlantic Coast Line he
observable.
This is the view that has ben ex-
Tnis is the view that has been ex
pressed by railway authorities in Sa
annah. They do not consider that
the acquisition of the majority of the
stock of the Louisville and' Nashville
by the Coast Line is to be followed by
a consolidation of the properties.
The respective heads of tne two
companies will be continued!, it is
thought and no official changes are
looked for after the Atlantic Coast
meeting that is to be held very
soon, when tne stockholders are
to ratify the purchase of Louisville
and Nashville stock from J. Plerpom
Morgan and Company;, the increase
of tne capital stock of the Coast Line
bonds, with the newly acquired stock
of the Louisville and Nashville as se
curity. ..
The Atlantic Coast Line Company
of Connecticut is not on the Lousville
and Nashville deal. The Atlantic Coast
Line Company is acting.
Tne discussion of the heads of the
Coast June and the Louisville and
Nasnville leaves Mr. Walters and Mr.
Smith, respectively, at the helm . For
Mr. Smith and his policy, Mr. Walters
it is said, has the highest regard,
and it "fa not calculated that there will
be any; Louisville and Nashvilee
changes because of the Coast Line
• control.
Mr. R. G. Erwin, president of the
Plant System before s ia t property!
was merged with the Coast Line, will
not become president of the latter.
Seme time ago there was a report that
such was to be the case, but it now
transpires that there is little iikeij
khood of such a turn.

Suicides.
New York. Oct. 20.—William C.
Turner today shot and Albert
Hamilton, of Pittsburg, and W. J. Mai

fice the shooting occurred, said that
after the men had been in conference
Turner said:
"Well, here is a check for $5,000,"
and with that he put his hand in his
pocket, flashed out a revolver and fir
ed point blank at Mallard. Hamilton
made a jump for Turner and grappled
with him, but Turner succeeded in

drawn up in September. Ttie paper
contained provisions for the arbitra
tion of all di culties and the strike
was called on Friday before any such

Other Matters from Columbus Wlvrh
are of General Interest
in State Al

Columbus, Ga.. Oct. 20—Jim Tim

fatally wounded by Ed White an
ther negro, on north Highlands last
nigat.
White bought the pistol front Thomas
and refused to pay for When the
latter went to coll.-.t for toe pistol
White shot him. White escaped, but
was captured north of the city this af
ternoon by Bailiff Ellison.
The bailiff had a rather rough ex
perience in getting his prisoner to
jail. The feeling of the negroes over
the shooting of Thomas,who will prolt
iy die.is very high and quite a crowd
of them swarmed about, the officer
and the prisoner. They begged the
officer to turn the prisoner to them
that they might ly;nch hint. Too of
ficer drew ills pistol and held the
crowd at bay.
"CARMEN" SATURDAY NIGHT.
Gordon-Sliay Grand Opera Company
Made a Big Hit.
Because of accidents in the News’
composing room Saturday nigat, it
was impossible to comment on the
production of "Carmen" at the Grand
by the Gordon-Sliay Grand Opera
('.oinpany.
The opera was the musical event of
the season and was enjoyed by a large
and cultured audience.
Miss Shay, the prima ilontia, who
sang in the title role, has a voice of
true merit and genuine sweetness. II
is splendidly trained and the charming
little singer was bewitching in tne co
quettish role of "Carmen."
As Don Jose, Mr. John Frederick
displayed a wonderful tenor, and Mr.
Jodn Dunsmore, as Don Gairi, gave
the audience a well modulated barn
tone. *“'•
Miss Noldi, as Michaela, has a
sweet little soprano and Miss Eloise
Bishop, who sang Mercedes, is gifted
wth a fine contralto.
All in all, the program was a real
musical treat So the people of Bruns
wick and was thoroughly enjoyed by
the audience.
In passing on the nights performance
it is only simple justice to say that
Albertis’ Toreador song was the event
of the evening.
ONLY ONE THIS WEEK.
Tyranny of Tears is the Only Attract
ion at the Grand.
There will be only one attraction at
the Grand this week—--Wednesday
night, when the Brunswick theater
goers will have the pleasure of seeing
Paul Gilmore in tne Tyranny of Tears.
This will probably be one of the best
attractions of the season and he will
be greeted by a large house.
A too-loving wife, a literary man
explains the dominant sentiment in
and his female amanuensis are prom
inent characters in Haddon Cnambers'
comedy, “the Tyranny of Tears,”
which will be seen at the Grand
Wednesday night with Paul Gilmore
as the star. The wife discovers her
husband's secretary looking admir
ingly at a portrait of her husband,
with whom the secretary has been in
close association daily. She resorts
to tears, threats and entreaties, most
ly tears, to persuade her husband to
dismiss the secretary, who afterwards
explains the ’dominant, sentiment in
her mind white gazing upon his pic
ture was a pity for a man subjected
to the tyrannical appeal of his wife
to tears as a weapon with wnich to
subdue him.
Last Night’s Fire.
A fire occurred in the southern por

The Colonel Points Out the Fact that
the Board is Recreant to its
Duty and Urges More
Interest.
Editor Brunswick News:
Brunswick excels any commercial
seaport in the United Slates, in (he
percentage of increase ot commercial
business since 1 s:a
N.> city with the volume of business
done here can do without a Board of
Trade.
Within its sphere of action it is
essential as as is the city governp
incut. We had an effective Board of
I rude for a number years pre
ceding the panic of lsffij. interest
begun to die in 1892. There was a
small contingent who tried to heap it.
Alive, but it practically died in the
panic. It had a resuroetion in fobO.
Over 100 business men became mem
bers. The attendance was large, and
through its agency much good was ac
complished. Bui the old lack of ini, r
est is threatening Us existence. A
hare quorum can be procured, and In
laces of those who constitute ihalj
quorum arc I be same each week.
■’here arc members who attend only
When some matter of especial personal
interest in them is to he considered,
Gn Friday las), at the regular meet
ing of a bare quorum, the secretary)
was requested to bring to the attent
ion of the board and its official act
ion upon a condition of tilings to be of
vital importance .to tin- lumber inter
est-, probably the largest interests at
l iiis poi t.
There are quite a number of lum
ber shippers members of the Board
of Trade, yet not such a member was
present at the meeting, with the bare
exception of the president, who was
•here as president of the hoard.
The board declined to assume tne
responsibility of taking any action
until such time as a membership was
present from among the lumber ship
pers to parjlicipate and suggest In
teiiigent action
This condition of affairs seems to the
writer deplorable. It is not a particu
larly pleasant duty to give from twen
ty. minutes to one hour to a Board of
Trade meeting each week, but it is
an important duty: which.if omitted,
will prove an injury to our business
inter ests.
