PROBLEM NOW A SERIOUS ONE V FLOODS IN CERTAIN SECTIONS OF THE CITY MUST BE REMEDIED. CITY COUNCIL SHOULD ACT Low Places Will Have to Be Filled in or Something Done to Prevent Damage by Heavy Rains. What is to be done with the low of Brunswick? This is a question that is being ask ed by all of our citizens and a prob lem that must he solved in some way. and it doubtless remains with the mayor an,, council to solve it. As is well known, there are six or eigdt blocks in the very heart, of the city which seem to he in a regular hole and on several occasions this low distric. has been flooded, both by heavy rains and by unusual high tides. From Bay street to Union, between Gloucester and Howe must be filled in in some way andl the sooner it is done the i.eter it will be for me city. In the heavy rain of Sunday this district wais flooded with from five to fifteen inches of water attirt iiad the rain continued to come down in tor rents tor many more hours ~e people who have business houses and reside in the, district would have suffered a serious loss. -MOTOI This might be remedied by having a better drainage system, which will drain off the waller more rapidly, or it may be necessary to raise the buildings and fill in the entire section, hut something will certainly nave to be done and the city council should give the matter their immediate at tention. WANTED A DRINK. Whiskey in Window Tempted the Thirsty Man. Late Monday night, someone smash ed the large plate glass window of Dcugiars & Morgan’s liquor house on Bay street and took two quarts of whiskey, all that he could reach from the sidewalk without getting in the window.

BLACKS GIG TO BARBARISM THAT STATEMENT MADE BY REV. J. L. MURFHY IN LECTURE ON NEGRO. IT CAUSED CONSTERNATION Minister Says Study of Sociological Condition of Negrro Today Proves He Is Deteriorating. Muscatine, la., October 28.—Con sternation was caused here by Rev. J. L. Murphy, of the English Luther an chcurch, who said in lecture cm the | race problem ’hat elite study eft' Ihe i sociological condition of the negro to [day proves that he is deteriorating in I this country, will later lapse into bar barism and finally become extinct: He I points out that before the war the ne ; gro was trustworthy, and! the honor of any woman of the south was safe without the protection of white men. Today, however, a white woman scarcely dares venture forth alette. Mr. Murphy says that not only is the black man becoming degraded morally to l the south, but also physi claly. Physicians testify that he is more susceptible to diseases than al few years ago, and especially in pul monary troubles. Pneumonia is al most always fatal. The position taken by Mr. Murphy is that in time the progressive class of biaicks will tire of Ihe conditions in this country and re turn to their former African home to teach their fellow-blacks, while those left in this icuntry will then rapidly become extinct.

The col ored divine was much offended by the action of the firemen and filed a com plaint with the mayor, who ordered tile case placed on the docket and they will bet given a hearisg. .

Briggs put the question: “Did you hit him?" He understood Mr. Garr to say th3 it he had. Garr says he answered twice. Tried to anger, the clergyman dealt the boarding house proprietor a blow. Mr. Garr returned the blow. A tap id exchange of rights and lefts follow ed. in the neat of the struggle Dr. Briggs 'drew and used his knife, al though he has no recollection of stab bing Mr. Garr. A physician was call ed and' the injured man’s wound was dressed. He is resting easy at 1 mid night. The affair, which created a sensation, is deeply regretted by both gentlemen.
