THE BRUNSWICK NEWS. VOLUME 2, NUMBER 30. ON THE HUNT FOR NEW LIFE ■— -♦ RELIGION CRAZED RUSSiANS ARE POURING BY HUNDREDS INTO TOWN OF YORKTON. CONVERSION OF THE WORLD They Will Not Eat Meat and They Look Muueh tj Worst for Their Abst'neme. Valdosta. Ga., October 30.—1 fa highly auspicious opening may be taken as augury for the future, the Georgia state fair of 1902 is sure to prove in all respects a brilliant suc cess. That it would be an artistic success there has at no time been a question, for it is held in Valdosta, With anything like the same attend ance which greeted (he opening, it is certain to Lie equally successful from a tinaucial standpoint. I have seen many similar exhibitions, but do not recall one so well rounded and com plete on its first day. Since 8 o’clock this morning the sound of a hammer has not been heard in the ground. There is none cl' the hustle and con fusion that so often renders a fair's opening a thing to be shunned. By clever business stroke the man agers of the fair association have se cured one other thing which is us ually lacking on opening day—a large attendance. The Forepaugh circus sought a day at Valdosta. Local pride in the big fair made it impossible that a traveling entertainment should be allowed to enter into copetition with the event for which this magnificent little city of the wiregrass has so Jong been preparing, so a happy com promise was arranged. The circus has pitched its tents in side the race track at the grounds, an equitable ar rangement has been made concerning prices of admission and everybody de siring to see the circus has gone to the fair. The dual attraction has brought out the greatest possible crowd. „ The day dawned bright and beauti ful ideal wiregress autumn weather. Early trains on all the roads brought excursions from all directions to this railroad center, and the city is crowd ed almost to the limit of its capacity. The circus parade this morning giv ing, as il did, a carnival touch to the 1 opening day exercises, was of itself of suiffeient magnet to have drawn hun dreds of jieople to the city had there been nothing else, hut there was a lot. else worth seeing. The crowd, for one thing. Then, of course, the exhibition at tne grounds which as I have said, is beautifuiy rounded and complete. The Valdosta state fair grounds lie about a mile and a half north from the center of the town, the approach being through the principal residence street, lined, as it is, with those beau tiful homes for Which the city is not ed. The park is equipped with a number of targe buildings and boasts /Of perhaps the best half-mile track in the southern states. Horsemen claim that it is the best, and in proof of their claaim they cite the fact that on this track the best harness record south of the Ohio river wis made. On t''o sides of the grounds art groves of the statepines for whim this section of Georgia is noted. Trie park itself is beautifully level and has been well eared for—which about tells whole story so far as fair parks are concerned, as there is much similarity between them. His Mother Dead. A telegram was received in the city from Jacksonville yesterday announc ing the death of Mrs. Mott, mother of Kenonn Mott, the well known jeweler of this city, which occurred in that place yesterday. Mrs. Mott has been ill far some time, and her death was not unexpected. Mr. Mott was in Jacksonville. He has a large circle of friends in this city who will regret to hear of the sad bereavement. No Circus Here. Brunswickians will hardly have the pleasure of seeing a circus this year, unless they see it in some other city. Several big ccirceuses are now in this section of the country, but it is under stood that none of them will visit this city. Gentry’s dog and pony show is not even coming. WILL WARNER HILL APPLY? Terrell’s Campaign Manager May. Ask for Commissionership. Atlanta, October 30.—1 t is general ly reported at the capital today that Hon. Warner Hill of Meriwether will apply to Governor Terrell to be ap pointed railroad cotmmissioser to suc ceed Judge Spencer R. Atkinson. While Mr. Hill has made no definite announcement of his inteation it is generally thought that he will apply When seen about the report today Mr. Hill said that he was considering the matter, but had not determined yet what he would do. Mr. Hill was cam paign manager for Governor Terrel! during his fight for the governorship. Judge Atkinson was one of Governor Terrell’s strongest supporters, and un der the circumstances k would be a hard matter for Governor Tyrrell to decide whom he should appimt if Mr. Hill decides fully to apply. BIG SHAKE UP. Corruption in the Immigration Ser vice Moves President to Act. Washington, October 30. —A severe shape-up is soon to be made in the immigration service at Ellis Island, following a secret investigation that has been made into the condition of affairs in the island.

Elkinton, a Quaker, of this city, who was aided by several influential members of the Society of Friends.
