Great Rivalry Among Crews.
Intense rivalry has always existed
between officers and crew's of these
two ships. "
No device was neglected on either

their huge stacks and their decks
quivered above the prodding engine.-:.
Four hours from the start. Just before
twilight, the Alabama left the Kear

fighting tops in sight.
With the older Massachusetts it
was a harder struggle. But newer
lines and greater power were bound to

despite her most gallant efforts, was

Barring accidents, it was the Ala

BRUNSWICK, GA., SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 23.
ELECTION
IS BEING
TALKED OF
POLITICAL POT IN BRUNSWICK IS
NOW GETTING QUITE WARM
AND WILL SOON BE BOIL
ING.
The local political pot seems to be
simmering considerably' and from all
indications December 9 will witness a
decidedly warm municipal contest.
While none of the gentlemen nomi
nated on cither of the tickets have
formally accepted the call it is genei
nlly understood that, with poss. Jy one
exception, tile nine citizens so named
will make the race.
As soon as this is determined it is
very likely that the pot will begin to
boil and it is not unlikely that a mini
lor of mass meelings will he held in
the interest of the two tickets, lie -
Tuitions seem to have a considerable
core of enthusiasm aboard and al
ready a general activity in poll lieu
circles is notable.
it is a eonsolauon, however, lo re
flect that the campaign necessarily
~111 fie of slant duration. The elec
tion is to be held December H, a liltle
ever two wet ks off. and the agony will
consequently be very short.
Asa matter of course ibe absorbing
lonic yesterday was tne ticket named
by Friday's mass meeting and it was
generally agreed that all in all the
ticket was a fairly good one, Ot
com so all people cannot be pleased,
and some objections were in evidence.
However, on the whole, the ticket is
well received.
At lifts early stage of tin game both
tickets seem to have some friends
with sporting proclivities and already
a number of bets nave been offered on
one side and the other. There seems
to be but little advantage in this line
and nothig in tne way of odds has
been offered.

CONTRACT HIS
THE SIGNATURES
WORK ON BRUNSWICK’S HARBOR
WILL NOW BEGIN IN SHORT
WHILE.
B!G DREDGES ARE COMING
It Will Take Some Time to Complete
the Work and Many Hands Will
Be Employed By the New Jer
sey Company.
The contract for work on Bruns
wick's inner habor has been signed.
The following front yesterday's Savan
nah News, relative to the matter, will
bo of interest here:
\ contract for the work in the low
ei pan of tbp Itaibor from Fort Ogle
thorpe to quarantine station has been
signed by P. Sanford Ross and Cap
tain Cassius TT Gillette and sent on to
the chief of engineers of tne United
States army. A notification of the
approval of ibis contract is expected
every day.
As soon as this notice is received
the work of deepening the harbor will
be commenced. The plans and speci
fications stipulate that the wont must
commenced within sixty days after
the approval of the contract by the
United States engineer, but as much
of the machinery of the contractors is
already here, it is probable that the
work'will start at once.
The other contracts, for the dredg
ing In ute upper harbor and the work
to be done In the Brunswick harbor,
winch are to be entered into by the
Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Cos., of New
York, and the Morris atul Cummings
Dredging Company, respectively, have
not yet been drawn up, but it is
thought t hat these' will bo prepared
within a few days. Each contractor
is required to give a bond of SIOO,OOO,
conditional upon the faitnful perform
ance of his contract.
The work which will in a few days
be begun by the P. Sanford Ross,Com
puny will involve the expenditure of
nearly $500,000 by the government, the
other dredging bringing the amount
up to something less tnan a $1,500,-
000. The work to be done by the Ross
company is the dredging of a channel
2k feet deep at mean high water, 3.50
feet wide iu ! tie .straight stretches, ami
from 450 to 500 feet wide-in Die bends
from Fort Oglethorpe to Fort Pulaski.
The work also includes the removal
of a portion of [he oyster lump on the
south side of Tybee Knoll channel,
between Ihe jetties, one and a quar
ter miles below Fori Pulaski, it being
intended to dredge to 12 feet, at low
water, to wilblri 100 feet of the Cock
spur Island 1 raining wall. The con
tract for the work in the upper harbor
which will be signed in a few days,
contemplates the removal of nearly 3,-
250,000 cubic yards. The Ross Com
pany will be required to dredge ai
least 100,000 cubic yards for toe first
two months after the commencement
of tiie work, and thereafter tne pro
gress must be at least 175.000 cubic
yaids until the contract is completed.
All work is to be done under the su
pervision of Captain Gillette, the cap
tain of engineers.
TO PERFECT ORGANIZATION.
Meeting Will Probably Be Held Dur
ing the Present Week.
It is very probable that those of our
citizens who subscribed a sufficient
amount of money to establish a small
factory at the Board of Trade meeting
Friday, will hold a stockholders meet
ing some time during the present
wr-bk and perfect; organization, and
preliminaries for the erection of the
factory will at once begin.
It will be decided at this meeting
wnat kind of a factory will be estab
lished with the money. It is gener
ally thought that the stockholders fa
vor something in the shape of a shirt
factory, and an enterprise of this
kind may be decided upon.
Down to Work.
The Cline Pants Company is down
to work again, after losing a few days
in removing into their new quarters—
tne Mills building. The company will
at once increase its capacity and this
soon promises to be one of our lead
ing enterprises.
GOVERNOR WILL ENTERTAIN.

Thanksgiving night, after the footlia
game with Auburn.

sity boys before he was elected that
be would give them a reception at the

aii enthusiastic in his support anu
were ail dclige.eu when his invitation
was read out tn the university chapel,
says a special from Athens. The gov
ernor’s invitation was auuressed to
the faculty and students, and it is
needless to say tnere will be a large
attendance.

of the hospital building and the people
interested at this end have agreed to
make any necessary improvements in

likely that representatives of the com

The question of labor, which is also
a material factor in the matter, it is
understood, lias been satisfaetorrily
arranged and if the building will meet
fine demands of the company there
seems to be no good reason why the
foctory will not be established.
This subject is of vital importance
lo Brunswick and it is to be hoped
fbat sufficient inducements can lie
brought to bear to bring us the fac

NEGRO BOUND OVER.
Interesnng Trial Before Justice Con
oly Yeeterrday,
tills Williams, ,1 anoo Hall and
v/iu. Mclntyre, the three negroes
who were arrested a few days ago,
charged with stealing freight off the
steamer Emmeline, were give a pre
liminary hearing oefore Justice Con
only yesterday morning.
Willie Williams was bound over to
■ the February term of the city court,
under a bond of SIOO.
In the other two cases Judge Conoly
did not have jurisdiction, it having
ueen proved tnat the theft occurred in
Camden county. It seems that the
two negroes stole the freight while the
boat was at Cumberland, and therefore
Ihe cases will have to be tiled in
Camden county. The two negroes
were committed to jail, however, and
warrants have ueen sworn out against
ihem m Camden county.
