VOLUME 2, NUMBER 58. MIS WRITES A LENGTHY CARD Explains His Position in the Present Political Situation. Hf LIKFS JOINT DEBATES Well Known Judge Says He Would Gladly; Enter Into One With the Good Government Club —Other Matters Discussed. Mr. Editor: In your complimentary reference to my remarks at tne Young Men’s Club meeting last night, you misquoted me when you said that l apologized in a measure for my original connection with Ihe Good Government Club, for 1 never made any such statement. To In-gin with I was never a member of ii. though I endorsed its original pur poses most heaitily, and unot many occasions counseled with us leaders as to what was best, under toe cir ciimstnnces (hat from time to time then surrounded us, to be done, and in nearly every case that advice and counsel was literally pursued. No, 1 did not make the statement you at tribute to me, because 1 am not sorry that I aided the Good Government Club in the beginning. 1 am glad i did. Ripened by four more years of ex perience 1 repeat again, and reaffirm, all tbe advice 1 gave it, and every wore; of the speech 1 delivered on tne uign. in April. 'SIS, when, at the request of leading men in it. I opened its cam paign against ringism "ini one-man power and political domination mroufeh secret means. The Good Government Club was well and wise and useful.in its place. The Good overnmeut cl;b four years ago broke up on ■ man power, and destroyed,for a season, ring ism. II pm down, for a season, "boss icin ' and when it did lhal it answer ed the end* of its Ruination and be came lunctus officio. Then was tne lime for it to disband ami to tuin llie government back to the people. When the war is over the army should be dismissed. A standing army in time of peace is more or less a menace, and belongs rather to monarchies and ern piles than republics, and that Is sound democratic and sound republican iloi ti me also. Wlien the patient is healed dis charge the doctor. When tne winter Is over lay aside the overcoat. When the political cam paign is ended disband the pouucai •club will eh is necessarily partisan. And when the Good Government Club aecompished ilioso happy results it- de served to have said of it “well done limn good ad faithful servant, and to then enter upon a well earned rest. When tlie Good Government dub or ganized and engaged in the political suite it did so upon., the piiuciple “down with one-man-power, put down political ring rule" ami I was with it. Hut now that Huh nas changed iis po sition and assumed the role of dicta lor, it you please, when it called Its members together and nominated a ticket without allowing the waoie peo ple an opportunity to he heard, the effect of that, whatever may have been the purpose of some engaged in it, was to dictate a ticket to the people. When it struck the blow at riijgisui and one-man powerism I said Godspeed it Hut when today it lifi. its a.inij and undertakes- to direct. Be ele. jon of a ticket chosen by a holding its session in secret, I oppose U because that is ring rule and that is one-man-power. 1 am not a partisan in this light, i said last night that l did ot like to talk to a gathering of one sine, that X preferred to talk be fore all the people and would be glad tor every member of the Good Oov ernient Club to hear what 1 had to say, so tnat if I was in error in any one particular 1 might Ije corrected, and might have the high nrivilege ol correcting any error 01 others in these matters. In short, I want only a flank, full, iair discussion. I believe with Burns “That none are so feared Tuat the truth should be heard. But nim whom, that truth would indict.” Now, Jtir. Editor, la concluding, this THE BRUNSWICK NEWS JURY STILL OUT OH STORY Cl < Very Probable That a Mis trial Will Be De clared. OUT SINCE THURSDAY NIGHI Judge Dart Re-charged the Jury Yes terday But. They Still Fail to Agree Upon a Verdict—May Remain Out Today. The jury in the case of Sam it. Sio ry, charged with the murder of llanip Hhiivur, is certainly entitled to a vote of thanks for at least arduous, if not effected service. The case was given to il early Thursday night and they are si ill fig uring on il and too all Intents and pur poses are as far removed from a ver dict as they were live minutes after ihe case given them in charge. They wore comfortably quartered at the Oglethorpe last nigilt and the News understands were most courte ously treated by the coni'* officers In whose hands they nave been commit ted. When the court met yesterday morn ing the jury was polled atpl when ask ed by Judge Kart if they had succeed ed in reaching a verdict replied that they hail not. They were again sent to Ihe jury room and late yesterday afternoon asked tCe court to re-charge lieu on a number ui inUuato poi it.;, of law at issue. Primarily they want ed the legal definition of manslaugit ter, vounlary and involuntary, nior clearly defined, and ibis the court did; in his usual able manner. The jury promptly retired, up to the hour of adjourning, had agreed . joi, no verdict, and wore once again re turned to their rooms Opart here took a recess until 9 o'clock tills imvcii ing, and it. naturally follows that the jury cannot render ve-rdkt until ihat^me. The prisoner and ills very faithfui wife were in court all day, and it is but simple justice to them to say ti nt many kindly expressions of sympathy were heard in their beu’iif. This case is attracting c ii.-duorablo interest and the News lias 11 that the jury stands eight for acquittal an 1 four for conviction of a lesser offense than that stated in the Kill of indie .luenr. It. is believed, however, that tho jmy will fail to agree and that a misi rial v ill be the result. If such is Ihe result, it Wol lie the second mistrial in the case, aud v ,11 mean that Story will tie returned to jail, where he will have to await dial at he next session of the court, which will not meet again until May.- SOME STARTLING CHANGES First of the Year Will See a Number of Them in Brunswick. Some very surprising changes in Brunswick's business world will occur on January ist. The News aas heard of quite a. mini; ber of changes, some being the con solidation of firms, others who will dis solve and also a jyiiinber of new en terprises which arc to tie started the first oi the year. While we know that several changes will occur, none oi them are yet ready for publication. The most intpoitant change that, will occur ,of course, will be tne turning over of the Brunswick Light, and Wa ter Company to the Mutual Company, the sale of which occurred some time ago. There is much speculation as to changes will occur in the offices oi the company, but nothing at ail can be learned on the subject. The directors will hold a meeting on the first of the month and will elect all officers. Besides this change a number of oth ers will certainly oUtir and the Newt hopes to be able lo make some an nouncements in a few days. 1 want to say .that it has been brought to my attention that a go—t many re marks have been made in reierence to my connection with this - .mipai which t will not further notice than to say: I haven't the time to shoot tice, or hunt ground moles nor bother with hedgehogs. Very truly, COURT LAND SYMMES, December S. „ . -, ~ - BOTH THE POLITICAL FACTIONS HELD MEETINGS LAST NIGHT MANY AT THE RALLY 1 —*— GOOD GOVERNMENT CLUB MEET ING AT THE CITY HALL WAS WELL ATTENDED. A Number of Prominent Members of the Organization Delivered Ad dresses and the Meeting Was Big One for Administration. Unquestionably tho largest meeting of the Good (government club held dur ing the municipal campaign was the one at the city hall last night, and oiv shusiasin ns well as numbers was man ifest during (he entire evening. President H. 11. McAllister was in Ihe chair, and m cailllg Uic meeting together no took occasion in say a lew very pleasant words ooinmemiiiiory t<# file present aiiminfsliation. As 30011 as lie formally announced that the meeting wys in order, calls were made for .). K. Fooler, and lhal gentleman responded with a few brief remarks as to why lie thought the present mi -111 inis (ration should be sustained. J. T. Colson was the next speaker on the program and he made one 01 his characti risiic talks, in which lie scathingly referred to the opposition and threw wiiote clusters of bouquets, chrysanthemums amt pinks, at the dominant political power, lie was eii i.iiiiiasUcaily imcoieil and apparently kept his audience in a good humor. Following JVir. Colson, Captain To bias Newman, the well known ad very popular alderman of New Town, was ;ia and for, and probably liis address was tin most conservative of the eve ning. He pointed out a number of het terniqnts in city affairs, in which Ire. personally aided. On the whole. Cap miu Newman made a good impression and was roundly applauded. A uMJfibef of other gentlemen idem tilled with the Gootf OA • rnuemt cin-b movement wer6 i-allod upon and each, in turn, made appropriate responses. A spirit of genuine enthusiasm per vaded tin mod ing and m every case where the speaker,. scored a ■ point, against the opposition and in favor of fjio Emanuel 1 iekei the sentiments was at once taken up by the audience and applauded to the echo. Among the speakers who addressed iln inc.'iiug later may lie mentioned Ur. A. Butts, C. D. Ogg Rev C. M.. Thornton, Judge .1. 1). Hparks. Cap tain Charles Arnold, and J.i. B. Jordan, colored, and others. The meeting last night, appeared to lx a general rally on the part of the Good Government forces ami the large number present seemed to be thor oughly in earnest and manifested a si; iking degree of interest in the do liberations of the meeting. Tlie campaign is now well under way and it would take one endowed with a little less of devinily than ilial given to an oracle to intelligently prog nosticate as to general results. II is not known wnether or not the Good Government club will hold an other mass mooting before the elec 1 ion. Good Government leaders appear a* be confident of success at the polls Tuesday and a number of them have made some wagers in I bat, line. In justice to all parties it. can lie truly said that the. light, is on in earn est ami is fairly Sizzling. No Tax on Wives of Aliens.

Judge Pwt wljj sentence hjm today- "JOSH" OUT WITH A REPLY Thinks Twitty’s Reply to Affidavit “Sorter Takes the Cake.” HE SAYS IT !S A DEFENSE -Z7~ ' Statement of Mr. Brady is Causing Considerable Tala in Political Cir cle# Generally—Some Plain Questions Asked. (Communicated) The Denial Critizised. Editor Brunswick News: ■ Dear Sir:—We have read Chairman McAllister’s denial. It is a honey. It jis a dandy. Come let 11s analyze it. Brady swears Twity sent him to Mose. Twitty does not. swear he did not. Chairman McAllister was not present, and does not claim to have been and therefore cannot know what did oc cur. So Chairman McAllister contents himself with saying that those who know Mr. Twitty "feel perfectly sure" •ho latter did not make the statement which Mr. Brady attributes to him. Now that is ail of the dorm.]. It is Biot what the lawyers cab hearsay even, it is a sort of I-reekpn-so. And the question comes up, is Mr. Twitty’s mere word to overcome the sworn af fidavit of an intelligent, upright citi zen, certainly the equal of Mr. Twitty? i If that is true then Mr. Twitty has become a power in tne land. But is uot Mr. McAllister’s denial another evidence of a condition of one-man power again existing in this communi fy? Does not it sound sorter like “•ho King can do no wrong” that iis word stands above the affidavit, of the humble, respectable citizen? Doesn't it look like “Ibis mortal has put on immortality”—Goo-Goo immortality? Is not Chairman McAllister's state ment. another evidence of ring power and ring rule? Does it not sound a litle like tnis: borrowing tne expres sion of Richelieu “where he stands we draw around him the awful circle of i ihe- Ceo-Goh Clan?” ! Mr. Editor, your' readers car, think | this over for they are 1.10 judges, anti lit is respectfully submitted By an humble citizen for their careful consid eration. Yours very truly. C HEEK-B Y-.TOWL. (Communicated.) Editor Brunswick News: Dear Sir:—Tne answer of Mr. Tw - t.v in tins morning's News to the affi davit of Mr. Brady sorter “takes the cake.” There is a kind of egotistical air about it. To bo fair about this, just let 1* look at it. Brady swears that. Twitty sent him Moseward, Twit ty undertakes to answer Brady by an unsworn statement wherein he says that Brady is in error as to his hav ing given trial direction, and there again Mr. Twitty assumes to judge. Brady has stated a fact, namely, that Twitty did send hint. Now let Twitty state the facts. Did he or ~.d he not. And let the people judge as to wno is in error, they are the triors. Let us take the statements as tney stand, who shall lie believed,Brady or Twitty ? That is the question. All things being equal, I submit that Brady, the sworn witness, ought to be believed as against Twitty tne unsworn witness. For one is backed by the sanctity of an oath and fBo other not, and the people ran judge as to whether Mr. Brady though an humble citizen, is not possessed of as good a character as Mr. Twitty. Well, now, l&t ns apply another rule to it. Let us say, if you please, that an unsworn statement is as good as a sworn statement, and that the two men are of equal good character ami vearclty, then who shall be believed? We submit that the witness least in terested should he. Who then is least interested, or who is the interested witness? Mr. Twitty is, for he has al stake office, if not offices, position, if not. kingdom. Not only is Brady disin terested, but if be had an interest it would be oppseod to attacking the ad ministration ift that one of his sons is a policeman, and you may consider the question whether his ro-eiection would not lie Jeopardized by this statement from Mr, Brady. Let ua apply anotbei pule to It. M*. Twitty occupies the PRICE FIVE CENTS. QH CHARGED WITH TREASON t . Party Associates are Now Denouncing the Big Boss. ADVISED DEFEAT OF TICKET It Is Alleged That He Advised Defeat of the Republican Ticket In Terri tories—Letter Will Be Sprung in the Senate. Washington, December s.—The fight over the statehood bills gives promise of bringing on a lively row among tno republicans of the senate. Theiaotiv- H.v of Senator Quay In -....m1f of Hie omnibus bill has developed a dispost tion on the part of .Senator Beveridge and other republicans who are sup. | porting the single proposition by which Oklahoma Is to be tae benefi ji'inry to open up their batteries upon the Pennsylvania boss, and to that end they are charging that Senator Quay wrote certain men in the territories advising that (hey bring about demo cratic victories in tneir recent con gressional elections ns a means of holding the democrats of the senate In the support of the omnibus bill. One of the leading republican sena tors said today that Senator Rev-, eridge has in his possession a letter written by Senator Quay which con viols him of this conduct, which they interpret ns party treachery. My in formant tells me he has seen the letter and that in his opinion it admits of no other construction than that Senator Quay used his influences to defeat his party in the congressional elections in the territories. Will Use It On Quay. endeavor to use this to counteract the influence of Senator Quay with republican associates, though ,iEt how they are going to make this appear a very great crime in view of the fact that the terrß.dal delegates have no votes in the house, it Is a little difficult, to see.
