VOLUME 2, NUMBER 51. A DEATH BLOW DEALT BLACK REPUBLICANS BY PRES. ROOSEVELT CRUM LOSES THE CHARLESTOH JOB HAS NO USE FOR BLACKS WHO ARE IN POLITICS FOR LOAVES AND FISHES. Alleged Crum Has Been a “Flopper" in National Conventions and Roosevelt Refused to Give Him Fat Job. Washington, November 26. — Presi dent Roosevelt today attack a death Mow to the c...ef industry ot the pro fessional negro politicians of the south. He refused to give a fat office to one of these negro leaders on the ground that it had been shown that by executing a clever change of front at the republican national convention of 1892 he bad secured nomination to a lat federal office. , The man whose political record fame home to roost wit a the above lesHtt is Dr. Crum, of Charleston. Shortly before he went soul'll on his bear hunting expedition. President Roosevelt caused it to be announced at tie white hobse that he had de termined lo appoint CiuM collector of the port at Charleston, one of t no best offices in South Carolina. There has been a great deal of objection to put ting a colored man in that office and there were n number of protests again s' his a point tm-nt on file at the white house* but in pur nance of his policy to rebuke those who had been engaged in the ftuempt to "lily white" the party, the president announced he would appoint -Otum. Then some of Crum’s enemies In ilia own party sent to Washington a teat out of the doctor’s political record. This leaf declared the doctor was se lected a delegate at largo to the na tional convention of 1892. as a Blaine man. that on at rival at Minneapolis he had been “seen” successfully, tout lie flopped to Harrison and a few weeks later received his quid pro quo in tin shape of nomination to the Charleston postoffice. Circumstances Notorious. The SiortHstaneu of the deal were so notorious at the time that the anti- Harrison republicans of the state de ■cleered after the nomination was hug In committee for some time, that taer would never consent to ( turns contirmat'orl, and accordingly Harri son had to withdraw his name. CrUm came to Washington yester day with the expectation of receiving the promised appointment to the Charleston oollei torshlp. tie had one brief and breezy interview with the president, but it was all sufficient. President Roofovelt referred i.o the r,--: md of his dusty Carolina supporter and told him in language w.iotte -mean ing could not Tie misunderstood that no man who could barter his conven tion vote in that manner could have an office under this administration. Cl urn protested that he had not sold out. that he had been for Harrison all the time and la; t he could ho ekteted again as a sdutaern delegate# who ■would 'stay put, hut to no afail.

The color line Is supposed to have cut a good deal of figure in the president's mind. Perhaps it is true that his heir hurt experiences changed his festiigs to ward tu colored brethren. Crum is strong with the negro republicans of ais state, and drawing the liue of color on him is not calculated to make happiness in the rank and file! any more than the firm stand taken by the administration against those patriots who baiter their votes in national conventions is destined to make the dealers rejoice. THE SHOW TODAY. "The loan From Mexico” Will Be at the Grand Matinee and Night. Asa Thanksgiving attraction, Messrs. Fleming H Waff have at the Grand "A Man From Mexico,” matinee and night. This Is generally considered to be the funniest farce comedy produced within many yeats past. Wacn Mr. DeSouehet wrote "My Friend From India.' it was not thought that the au thor could sustain the pace that tie bad set when it came to furnishing a successor a) ms first comedy. But he did more than sustain it, for "Tile Man Front Mexico,” proved to be far funnier than his previous work, and it immediately caught the fancy of tne fun loving ptir,..c, with the result, that its engagements have been limited to the principal cities of the country. It will, however, be presented here in a Gun (highly first *•I ak h manner atifi the aid of an excellent cast, in cludßig Leslie Morosco, j-award War ren, Louis I’eters, L. D. Usher, H.

There were no new developments in the political situation yesterday land the campaign is now progressing very nicely, with both sides claiming victory. Several star chamber ses sions were held during the day by lue different committees and there will be a lull until tomorrow night, when the Good Government forces will gather at the city hall. This meeting is expected to he quite a large one and nearly every ad ministration supporter in the city will be present. The issues in the cam paign will be' discussed at length by the speakets. On Monday night another mass meeting will he held and a candidate for alderman will lie named to taitc trie place of J. W. Thomas, on the peo ple’s ticket. Much interest is attached to tills meeting and there is much specula tion as lo who will be named. Several prominent citizens are being spoken oi in connection with the place and it is rather difficult to even predict who will he selected. Friday night the young men support ers of Judge Crovatt wiU, bold a meet ing and organize a Youfig Men's Cro vatt club. Considerable Interest is being taken in this organization by the younger element of voters arid tne meeting Is expected to be quite a large or.c. There are no other public meetings anounced, but quite a number of stai chamber sessions will be held by both factions duting the remainder of the week. The city registrars will convene again in the county commissioners’ room at the court house tomorrow morning and will complete ureir work of canvassing the registration list. A number of voters have been summon ed to appear before the board and names will be added as well as taken from the list HANNA BARRED BE ROOSEVELT AFTER A NEW CHAIRMAN THE ROUGH RIDER HAS NO ROOM FOR UNCLE MARK. The National Chairman Who Managed Two Victorious Campaigns Must Stop for Some Man of Roosevelt’s. Washington, November 2ti.—While the lecognitiou of the Addicks fac tion in Delaware by President Roose velt was a great surprise to the pub lic at large it was not a surprise to those who have kept an eye on the machine-building which has been go ing on in Washington. The frame wotk of the Roosevelt macalne is now practically complete. It won’t be adjusted entirely until the president has received his nomination a year and six months hence, but it is sufficiently in place to give ;i fairly good idea of its proportions ami if its individual paits. One iact stands out plainly. There is no place in the Roosevelt machine for Mark Hanna, who kept a tight rein on the republican organization while McKinley was president. Mr. Hanna will have to step aside for someone to he designated by lvrr. Roosevelt. Postmaster General Payne at present vice chairman of tne repub lican national organization, and James S. Clarkson, formerly of lowa, but now collector of tne port of New York, are the loading possibilities for Mr. Hanna's Job. ,"i|; ( , iiO'l.i are polflusd manlptilutors, whose shrewdness has been their chief recommendation. The selection of a national chairman comes after the nomination, and while it b po sible for many changes to take place in the time that must elapse, It is even now a choice of Payne or Clark son. . .. * Seifttor Hanna regards with calm indifference his passing as a political manager, ine Hanna machine, victo rious in two prcsldental campaigns, now exists in name only. Mr. Hanna might have asserted himself, hold his power, and controlled even to the e\ tent of preventing Mr. Roosevelt’s nomination. The fact that he did n do so did much toward the dim grst.ion of his machine. Wherever the Huuna machine lost, the Roosevelt machine gained. Be sides t he last election helped Roose velt immeasurably. He had made himself so much of an issue that Hie result could not well be regarded any thing but an indorsement, of the Rough Rider. The election discourag ed the men who have been discount ing Mr. Roosevelt and in the same proportion it swelled tne ranks of the president's followers. MEETING FRIDAY NIGHT. Good Government Club to Rally at the City Hall. A mass meeting of the Good Govern ment c-litb will be. held at the city hall next Friday night, at which a nutti er of the most prominent members of the, organization will speak. Ihe meeting is expected to oe quite a large one and much interest is mani fested in it by the members of the club. Following Is. the official call: Brunswick, Ga„ November 21.* A meeting of the Good Government club and supporters is hereby called to meet at ho city hall Friday, the 28th instant, at 7:30 p. m. All the registered voters of Brunswick arc in*’ vited to attend.

BRUNSWICK, GA., ThURSDAY. MORNING, NOVEMBER 27, 1902. WOMAN IS HELD FOR MURDER BESSIE GALE BOUND OVER BY JUDGE CONOLY AT TRIAL YESTERDAY. The case of Bessie Gale, the Fancy llluff negress, charged with the mur der of little Martna Dunham, was pre liminarily heard in the Glynn supe rior court room yesterday, with Jus tice of the Peace ,1. W. Conoly presid big. Solicitor Colson, of the city court, appealed in helialt' of the stale, and Attorney Max- Isaac represented ;iie defendant. The "accuseu might best be doserib el as a totally ignorant negro woman 1 1 some eighteen years. She appeal e l in the court room yesterday morn ing decidedly ungroonrxl. shows tue beastly instinct and is a veiy unpleas ant defendant to say the least of .It. While in court yesterday she ap peared absolutely Indifferent as to wltat was happening, and when dam aging testimony was Introduced dis played absolutely no concern. The circumstances lending up to this case are of a sensational nut me and show an utter abandonment on the part of the defendant. It appears that the families of Gale and Dunham, who reside near the bluff at Fancy jjiuff had had some Double because it was alleged .'hat o e of the Dunham children had stolen a Gale cnicken and had sold it to the family of Mr. Ratcliffe, who lives near by. Wacn the Gales were advised of this difference they sought the Dunhams, confessed that, one of their children hnu' sold the chicken as stated above, and promptly refimdud U the Dun haras fifteen cents, the amount receiv ed for the chicken. it seems, nowever, that Bessie Gale, was not satisfied with this and openly staffed that unless the chicken was re turned one of the Dunham children would be missing. On the afternoon of the murder the Gale woman appeared at the Dunham home ami seeing Utile Martha alone (ailed nor and taking hot some itttn idtod yards form home beat her Into insensibility and finally threw the : body into a little bayou near the 1 house. As soon as the child was miss ed the patents „egan to search ami securing a valuable clue very soon lo [ caled the dead body of their child in sonic two teet of water. The coroner’s jury was summoned, and, upon Investigation, found that Lie body was- terribly mutilated anu whit one mass of wounds aljout the neck and face. A verdict of murder vv ts returned and the hearhig yester day was attended by a large number of Fancy Bluff people. Some fifteen, or twenty women were examined during the trial yestptday, which continued until late in t he af ternoon and Judge Conoly fitiauy hr Die defendant for murder and she was hound over to the coming Session ol i superior court, The crime, front all accounts, is a dastardly one, and It seems very like ly Liat the gallows awaits the de fendant. DIAGRAM OF THE MAIL SERVICE. Postmaster Brown Shows Disadvan tage of the Mail Over the A. C. L. Postmaster Brown has prepared a very good diagram of the mall service between Brunswick and points on the Atlantic Quasi Line railway, ami the diagram in'question should lie studied by the people of Brunswick. It shows that a letter mailed in this city after 3 o’clock in Lie afternoon takes a l’cnipd-about course before it liwnes its destination. A letter-Tnailed here atfer the above stated hour, goes out over the South ern railway to Jesttp, where it remains for several hours. From there it goes to Waycross, and the next morning takes the incoming A. C. L. (rain to Brunswick, and is distributed along Li." line at a late hour. It will be seen by the diagram that a letter mailed in Brunswick after '■} o'clock can teach Washington as quickly as it can Waynesville. Tne schedule is, indeed, a very in-, convenient one, and It is to be hoped that the officials wtl! look Into the matter, : .. i* MAY ESTABLISH A BRANCH HERE 4. PRESIDENT SPETH, OF ANTWERP NAVAL STORES COMPANY IN THE CITY. LOOKING OVER OUR PORI His Company is One of the Largest of the Kind in the World and a Branch Will Mean Much for Us. President opeth, of the Antwerp Na val Stores Company, of Antwerp, B"l --gluni, whoso fitm is among the largest naval stores exporters In the world, was in the city yesterday and was the guest of Major 0. Downing, president of the Downing Company. Mr. Speth came to Brnttswick for the purpose of inspecting the naval stores facilities of the Downing Coin ;iany, with a vi. w of cstah .siting a branch of tne.r mammoth business litre, which will mean that tae con cern will not only buy in this market, but will also send !fco!r steamers to Brunswick. Mr. S; e !i was the reclp ent of a number of social attentions while here yesterday and though he (L mado no definite conclusion In the matter he has expressed himself as -being tnorouglily imptessed with the pent facilities offered here and ho .jays mat It is not improbable tlia.t ibis great company will oegin op erations in Brunswick with tae first ol no coming year. The coming of this Immense expoi t ;ng concern to Brunswick would mean much to this city from bolh an indus trial and commercial point ot view, 'and it Is to be hoped that he will see ais way.clour to do business in Bruti. wick. Mr. Speth will be in the United Stales foi about (wo weeks and the News would suggest that the Board of Trade take this matter up with him, with the view to having .something ol a definite nature agreed upon. PAY PENSIONS QUARTERLY. Represent.!* vc Davis Introduce* Bill to T rat effect. Representative Davis, of Meriweth er, introduced a hill,in the house Tues day providing for the payment of pen sions quarterly and making tho ordi naries of the state disbursing agents for Urn pengum- fund. The measure is an interesting cud important one, and has been ationgly recommended, by the commissioner of pensions.' It Is believed there are several ad vantages in the measure. In the fiist place it will resun in keeping in the sltite treasury ovei $400,000 during the months of July, August and Septem ber, and over $200,00(1 during October November and December. This would do away with the state's necessity for r.'orrovyingJt is believed that the plan would xiftp he better for lue pension ers and would do them far more good Ilian the present system of paying them in a lump sum.

Brown, of tie? emigre gational church, at Bethel, Ohio, lias brought down upon his head a torrent of Indignant denial from the young member s of the congregation wnom he accuses of kissing in the sanctuary.
