PEACH CROP WILL BE SHORT.
Growers Around Columbus Will Be
Glad of Half a Crop.

growers throughout this fruit section
will make from one-third to one-half
of a crop, and in and near Buena Vis
ta, about 30 miles southeast of here, a
large number of the growsrs will get
fully a half a crop. Their opinion is,
however, that the fruit growing sec

erage more than one-fourth, of a crop.
Many of the fruit trees were killed by
the recent cold snaps.
Growers around Richmond, Ga.,
about 40 miles below here, will aver
age one-half of a crop.
Two prominent Columbus citizens,
who are perhaps the largest peach
growers in this section of the country,

will be the same as staled above.

THE BRUNSWICK NEWS.
LISTENED
TO DEBATE
MINISTERS AND LAWYERS MET
IN JOINT DISCUSSION
LAST NIGHT.-
t
THE AFFIRMATIVE SIDE WON
Large Crowd Was Present and Fully
Enjoyed the Discussion —Judges .
Finally Decided in. Favor
the Ministers.
Tho meeting of tho New Town De
bating Society last night proved to be
one of the most interesting in the
history of this young and popular or
ganization.
The announcement that the lawyers
and ministers would meet in a de
bate attracted much attention, and
the Sunday school room was hardly
large enough to accommodate the
crowd that attended. ,
The subject handled by the debat
ers was, “Resolved, That lirviromnent
Has More to Do With Character Than
Heredity.” The lawyers took the af
firmative side of the question and were
representted by Cos!. C P. Goodyear,
Max Isaac and E. W. Dart. The nega
tive side was Rev. Wyllys Rede, Rev.
C. G. Bradley and Major Daft. The re
spective sides handled their subject
in great fashion and it was quite dif
ficult for the judges lo decide the win
ners, and after a discussion, a decision
was rendered in favor of the nega
tive.
Next Monday night wall be devoted
to the discussion of early American
history. This will he the second time
this subject has been handled by tho
club, and those who were present
when it was discussed before are look
ing forward to the coining meeting
with -co'shio-cable 4ptox.i iltt:<
Tbe society continues to grow, both
in popularity and membership.
EXCURSIONISTS HAL, TO RETURN
Accident on the B. & B. Disappointed
Sunday Travellers.
There were some forty or fifty dis
appointed exeursionists in Brunswick
Sunday, as a result of au unfortunate
mishap on the B. & B.
The first cheap excursion of the
season was scheduled to go to Jackson
ville over that line, and quite a large
number were on the train. For some
reason or other, it seems that tlie en
gine went on a strike and refused to
get up enough steam, and therefore
the train arrived at Thalmann about an
hour late, and the Seaboard Air Line
did not wait.
There was nothing to do but to re
turn, and tlie excursionists were very
much disappointed.
The B. & B. of course regret the
occurrence as much, if no: more than
any of the excursionists, but it was
just one of those mishaps that will
happen.
However, the excursions will be on
all during the sumnie rmontlis, and
an accident of the kind will hardly
happen again.

BRUNSWICK, GA.. TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 5, 1903.
OFFICIALS WILL
RETURN TODAY
RAILROAD AND STEEL PLANT
PEOPLE WERE IN ALABAMA
YESTERDAY.
THEIR COLUMBUS VISIT
They Were Given a Reception By the
People of That City and Other
wise Entertained—Offer
Made the City.
Tho party of officials of the Bruns
wick and Birmingham railroad and of
the Mohawk Valley Steel and Wire
company, who have been off on a
trip to Georgia and Alabama since
Friday last, are expected to return to
the city tonight, although nothing (def
inite to that effect has been learned,
and tho party may not arrive until
sometime tomorrow.
Yesterday, it is understood, the of
ficials were the guests of the people
of Eufaula, Ala., and spent several
hours there, looking over that thriving
little Alabama city. It will be remem
bered that a party of prominent cit
izens of Eufauia were in Brunswick
last week, in the interest of their city,
and endeavored to get the B. & B.
to come through Eufaula on its way
to The officials were
extended an invitation by the delegates
to visit their city and meet the com
mercial body, which would make them
an offer to secure the road.
Saturday the officials were in Co
lumbus, where they received a warm
welcome at the hands of the Colum
bus board of trade. They were given
a ride over the city to many points
of in’terest, and later a reception was
given them at the hotel Rankin.
In discussing the visit as to the
resuk of Jie fhoctThg'Wh prominent
citizens of Columbus, the Enquirer-
Sun says:
“The Brunswick and Birmingham
officials declined to make a direct pro
position to the city of Columbus, but
slated what, in their opinion, it would
bo necessary for the city to do in or
der to get the road. Tiiey thought the
city could get the road by underwrit
ing $600,000 of their bonds. The city
was given three days in which to state
whether or not it desired to do this.
The committee in behalf of the citi
zens, stated that three days was not
sufficient time in which to give a mat
ter of this importance the consider
ation that it deserved. Thus the mat
ter stands.
“It is not improbable, however, that,
the city and the roau will got togeth
er in the matter. It is doubtful if it
will be on the basks of underwriting
$600,000 of the company’s bonds, how
ever.
“When asked what, in their opin
ion, the people of Columbus should do
in order'to secure the road, Mr. Dm
sted, speaking for the officials, said
that the city should do the following
things:
“Underwrite $600,000 of the Bruns
wick anil Birmingham railroad com
pany’s 4 1-2 per cent, fifty year bonds,
at 90 cents.
“Give terminal facilities to the road
at Columbus.
“Give the rod a right of way
through Muscogee county.
"The committee asked how much
time the company would give to the
city of Columbus to make an answer
to this, stating Just what it could do.
‘The railroad officials replied that,
they could give the city of Columbus
three days In which to state what it
would do.
“Asa corporation, the city of Co
lumbus cannot, underwrite bonds; prac
tically all the city government can do
is to donate terminal facilities. If the
bonds are underwritten they will he
by the people of the city as private
citizens.
“While the immediate outcome of
the conference with the Brunswick
-and Birminghm people may not he
particularly satisfactory to either par
ty to the conference, yet the mooting,
far from doing harm, will he produc
tive of good.”
Tho party left Columbus Saturday
night, and probably proceed on to Ala
bama. Whether they will go on to
Birmingham or not is not known hy
anyone in the city, but from the B
& B. office a News reporter learns
that, the entire party will probkbly be
hack this afternoon.
Holes for the Piling.
The force at work on tho site of the
r tccl plant is now busy digging holes
| tor the piling, which will be used as
a foundation for the big plant.

AWFUL ACCIDENT
TOAVOUNG MAN
f-
| LEWIS BECKHAM KILLED ON THE
. B. & B. ROAD SUNDAY
NIGHT.
HEAD WAS BADLY MANGLED
The Unfortunate Man Was Found
Along the Track Near Cartier
Early Yesterday Morning
By Trainmen. i
Lewis Backham. a young white man,
was found dead early yesterday morn
ing at Cartier, a station on the Bruns
wick and Birmingham railroad, six
teen miles from the city. The body
was placed in the little depot at the
station and Coroner Jennings was
at once notified of the affair. He im
mediately organized a Jury and went
up to hold an inquest, over the body.
Only a few witnesses were introduc
ed, but It Is the general supposition
that Beckham was killed hy the B. &
B. passenger train Sunday night,
which arrived In this city at 10:45
and which passed Cartier about 10
o'clock.
The remains were brought to the
city in tlie afternoon and turned over
to Undertaker Moore, who prepared
the. unfortunate young man for burial.
He was badly mutilated and it was til
most. impossible to identify him. His
skull was badly mashed, and his face
was laiily torn up. It is known tlvit
he lived only a shjont while after
meeting the terrible accident.
It is generally thought that the man,
not km.wlng that the .train was go
ing at such a rapid speed, jumped from
the train when his station was reach
ed and was either hit by a rear coach
or fell oy Ids nead, as there were no
injuries iiboui his .body. There wn
no one, however, who saw the acci
dent, and it was not known that it had
occurred until the dead body was dis
covered;
Bcckl am was employed

to Brunswick Saturday night to spend
Sunday, arid was returning in tune re
go to work yesterday morning. He
originally came from Camden county
and has relatives there. His father
was wired the sad news yesterday and
will probably arrive !n the ciiy Ibis
morning.
Those who are acquainted with
Beckham assert that he was a good
limn, and was not under the influence
o™ whiskey Sunday. He is about 27
years of age, and has been working
with the above named lumbei com
pany for some time.
