VOLUME 2, NUMBER 188. CLEVELAND REFUSES TO TALK OF POLITICS HE ONLY SMILES ON HEWBOOM * EX-PRESIDENT SEEMS PLEASED WITH ATTENTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN SHOWN HIM. Steers Clear of Politics in Pleasant Interview With a Newspaper Man.—Does Not Say He is Out of Public Life. Princeton, May s.—Former Pres ident Grover Cleveland reached his home yesterday evening somewhat fa tigued by 'his journey from St. Louis, but highly pleased with, the demon strative welcome accorded him in the west. After he had dined he received a reporter for the Now York Llerald in the reception room of the comfortable old-fashioned house in which he is liv ing happily here within a stone’s throw of the Princeton University campus. In the course of the pleasant con versation which followed Mr. Cleve land was given half a dozen oppor tunities to declare his attitude toward the presidenttial nomination of 19U4, but. he skilfully parried all questions bearing directly upon his own polit ical future or that of his party. If Ire regards himself as permanent ly out of the field of available pres idential candidates he studiously re frained from saying so or even from hinting that lie prefers the classic re tirement of his Princeton, home to a re-entrance into the activities of public life. If one might judge by the smile with whiph Mr. Cleveland greeted the reporter's frank ./jo / --' tit j.,lf* —-v —r* ;Vew Jersey Mack, of Buffalo, as fairly placing him in the field as the hope of the new Democ racy, then it is fair inference that Mr. Cleveland regards himself —to use the time-worn phrase of politics—as in the hands of his friends. Gratifying to Him. Mr. Cleveland spoke with sincere warmth of the magnitude of the St. Louis Exposition that is to be and of the hearty spontaneity of the ovation he received there last Thursday. “Everywhere,” he said, 1 met with a cordial reception, which of course could not bo but gratifying to a man who had long been out of public life. As for the prospects of the exposition, they seem to me most flattering. The enormous crowds that attended the detention ceremonies attest the great interest the west is taking in, the en terprise The buildings give every promise of being completed in time, and it is evident already that the af fair is going to be an epoch marking one in the grandeur of its conception and the magnitude of its scope/’ It was remarked by Mr. Cleveland that here in the east Democrats and Republicans alike had been in the tre mendous demonstration for him in St. Louis, a hotbed, as it is, of (he explod ed doctrines of Bryanism—a political significance greater in its meaning than a mere tribute to his personali ty as former President of the United States. "You must have observed,” was said to him, “that such an ovation in Mis souri is now being interpreted as mak ing you a formidable factor in the next Presidential campaign.” The sage of Princeton smiled, as if the suggestion wore not at all dis pleasing to him; but he was on his guard in a moment. “Natural to Americans.” “Oh, I attach little significance to that," he said. “It is natural for Americans to show their respect and approval in these demonstrative ways when they meet one who lias held high official posts of honor through their preferment. Of course it is pleasant and gratifying to he the ob ject of such a spontaneous welcome. 1 ’ 1 next asked the former President if he had seen The Herald of today, in which he was hailed as the party lead er, as the “sun of the new Democra cy.” for 1904. “Yes, said Mr. Cleveland, with an other oi' his gracious smiles, which seemed indicative of anything but dis pleasure. “Yes, 1 read that while on the train today, but surely you cannot expect me to discuss the flattering tifiati- Oat wfriend, p.re partial enough to say about me.” "It will occur to many Herald read- THE BRUNSWICK NEWS. ers,” I replied, “that when such prom inent Democrats as former Senator Smith and Norman E. Mack come out and openly advocate the renomination of Mr. Cleveland next year as the one sensible thing for the party to and will occur to many that, this fairly places Mr. Cleveland in the field for the nomination, and the public will naturlly be interested to know what Mr. Cleveland says about it.” . Mr. Cleveland laughed good-natured ly, but he raised his hand in a de precating gesture as he said: “I am Happy Here.” “Oh, no, I cannot consent to discuss politics, nor can I now say anything about tile future of the Democracy or the outlook for 1904. I saw 7 Mr. Mack while in the west. He is a per sonal friend, and naturally he enter tains friendly sentiments.” “Mr. Cleveland," the interviewer ventured, “it is generally understood that you are very happy in the quiet little home life of your retirement here in Princeton, and by some it is doubt ed whether you would care to surren der these joys of private life for a re turn into the whirl of policies even should the call come for you to do so?” Again Mr. Cleveland waived his hand deprecatingly, and he replied: "It is true that I am very happy here.” lie did not add, however, that anew summons to duty would find him un willing to heed the call. It, would have been easy for him to have said that he is out of public life forever, but he neither said it nor hinted it. It was an interview significant rath er from what Mr. Cleveland refrained front saying than for what he actually said. I tried to induce him to speak of Mr. Bryan’s efforts to continue to direct (ho party policies, but ho again warned mo that I was trenching upon topics which he did ,not think it would he wise or timely to discuss now. IN CONVENTION. rfaiinmi l wii" u ri' irif irl tlle A number felfyoung women attending a teachers' convention at Oklahoma City some time ago learned a valua ble lession in hygiene through a sister teacher who says: “About a year ago I had my first attack of poor health and it seemed a terrible thing to me for 1 had always been so well and strong. My stomach distressed me terribly; it seemed like it was raw, especially after breakfast, and it would burn and hurt me so I could not rest. I was soon convinced that it was caused by coffee drinking and at the request of a friend 1 gave up coffee and began to use Postum Oof fee. “Tlie change in my condition was something marvelous. 1 had actually given up teaching' because doctors were unable to help my stomach trouble but since I quit coffee and used .Postum my troubles have disap peared and I have gone to teaching again. “Some time ago I attended a conven tion at Oklahoma City and determin ed to have Postum at my boarding house where there were eight other teachers, four of then! suffering from coffee sickness. My landlady did uot make the Postum right but I showed how and wo found it delicious. We all drank it the rest of the time we were there and the young ladies in question fell very much better and declared that their heads were much cleared for study and their general health much improved. I have their names if you care for them.” Names furnished by Postum Cos., Battle Creek, Mich. FOR BIENNIAL SESSIONS. Representative Siaton to Make Fight for Fwwer Sessions Legislature.

Tho following is taken from the last issue of Hon Dupont Guerry’s paper, the Georgian, published at Ma con: The editor of this paper had file honor and pleasure of delivering the Memorial address in Brunswick on the 27tli inst. to a large and enthusi astic audience. Interest ,in the sacred occasion is growing there, as well as throughout the south. Two typical Southern women, Mrs Madden and Mrs. Hunter, born and reared respectively in the counties of Burke and Liberty, under the old re gime, together witli two other ladies constitute tlf.r'f entire membership of tho lutdics Memorial Association in tlie city, bu aided by tin? Daughters of the Confederate they had a most creditable occasion. Tho parade was excellent, the introductory address by Col. Kranss and the prayer by Dr. Ma lone were eloquent and touching. Til • music by the gentlemen and ladies of the city was especially fine. Mrs. Madden and Hunter are just as ardent and enthusiastic in the cause now as they were as maidens during the chivalric days of tho war. We were greatly pleased while in the city so note the evidence of sub stantial prosperity and to reach the belief front private sources lhal the $10,(100,000 si eel plant projected for that city is almost a certainty. We were shown by Dr Madden where the ground had been broken for the building. This improvement would mean the doubling of tho city’s wealth and the trebling of its population in twelve months. The new railroad of the Magic Machen is now In operation from Brunswick to Montezuma and is ap parently well built and equipped. The city is evidently on the thres hold of great and continued prosper ity. The Weather. Forecast for today in Georgia; Fair in tiie northern portion; cloudy along the coast. CAR WENT OKI WITH NEGROES FECULIAR ACCIDENT OCCURRED EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING 1 ON A. C. L. WHARF. EMILE BAMAGE WAS DONt Six Negroes Were Unloading Cross ties When Train Backed on Car Capsizing it —Had to Get Out Through Top. An accident occurred on the Atlan tic Coast Line wharf early yesterday morning, 'which, while jt furnished considerable amusement for those who saw it, came very near killing six ne groes, one was injured and the other five, while not at all hurt, were very near frightened to death. It seems that a force of six negroes were at work unloading a box car loaded with cross tics. They were unloading them from the right hand side of the car. It seems that an engine was at work on the wharf, shifting other cars around, etc This car, in which the negroes were at work, was lying di rectly across a track and tile shift ing engine hacked right into the car and it was turned completely over, ne groes, crossties and all. It was, of course, impossible to tell from the outside whether or not any of the negroes were seriously Hurt, as they were covered by the car. One by one, in a few minutes they came creeping out ttie side of the car. For tunately the workmen had unloaded all ties on tHo other side of the car and when it went over there was noth ing to fall on the negroes. Had it not been for this it is probably that i’ll!! entire sextette would have been badly hurt. After the six bail succeeded ill mak ing their way out, it was found that only one of them, Ned Robinson, the jturemau.of 'he.ggu.S. bait been His hand wax ha Wily mashed and he received a few other slight injuries. While none of the others were hurt at all they were a frightened set and when the car went over, they thought it was all over. A force was soon put to work and the car was righted, and. save for the Injury to the foreman, and a little frightening to the other negroes, no damage was done. CMIZEN IALKS OE SEWERAGE SYSTEM H c Reviews Lengthy Report of Mr. Johnson and Offers a Few Suggestions, Editor Brunswick- News: After careful study of Mr. Johnson's report upon our system of sewerage to my mind it leaves its true condition as much, in doubt as ever. 1: seems from the report that In- confined this inspection to the mains entirely and must have from tin- short time con sumed in the inspection. I take that lie made no inspection of the literal drains —the most important part, of Hie entire system, and one where the greatest danger lies. The mains would very naturally he hep! in better condition from the mere fuel of I lie large amount of water flow ing.. in t nrough the sub soil drainage, •i'liis would have ifinleiicy to keep the mains open and free of sewage, while the literals which convey the sewage to tlie mins does not have that ad vantage and must depend upon the Hush tanks when in working order and tin- small amount of water used in flushing closets. To carry the sewage to the literals, then often a ,ii lance pom 1. M-0 to 2,000 felt to ihi- mains. A lateral could become obstructed with ’ils many house eon -I,union: and effect the health of that entire portion of the city, and yet lie- mains lie in good condition. 1 see from the report, that tile Mans jield sii.-e: drain from the main well to Cochran avenue' is almo.-t entirely elear of sand but from that point to head of main ttie sand gradually in creases until the main at the head is almost tilled with sand W’iiui are the conditions we find at lhe head of the 24-inch mains at <■ si reel 1 There is one eigth inch main flowing into a 21-inch main at right angle- -the 2!-inch main having the capaciti: of £ 8" drains. Therefore the flow becomes dead water and all sand at.d sewerage matter set in the largo main, I in!o’* the present conditions tho only remedy to my mind is to have THE PARTY RETURNS; OFF TOR WASHINGTON that portion of the main cleaned out as often as the conditions require it. Tlie report leaves us in doubt as to the true condition of the system. As 1 consider the house drains and lat erals of the greatest importance, and that with tlie exception of the two drains mentioned in the report none of the others were inspected. There can he no doubt there has been a great deal of defective plumbing and house drainage done and unless the house drains and laterals are in spected and kept in proper order we can expect serious trouble to arise. The mere fact of the main sewers being in very good condition is no guarantee that the entire system is ill proper shape. And I do hope that our board will not be lulled into security by the par tial report made and cease their ef forts to place the system in first, class condition, and keep it so. What we need is a competent mo di anical engineer to take charge of the system and put it in good conci tion and keep it up to tiial standard. The money spent in that way would give a greater return than any that has been spent by the board. CITIZEN. BARK RECORD WRECKED. Was a Regular Trader with Brunswick and Darien. A special sent out. from Now York yesterday says: Capt. J. O. Johansen and tho crew of fourteen men of the Norwegian bark Record, of Portsground, Norway, which sailed from Darien, Ga., on April 14th, bound to Fleetwood, with a car go of lumber, were brought to port to-night on the White Star Line steam er Victorian, front Liverpool. On April 29th, when the Victorian was five days out from Liverpool and in latitute 4fi.t3 degrees north, lon gitude 37. ft!) degrees west, the Re cord, with her foremast gone and mainsail and main topsail hanging loose, was sighted. There was no sign, of Ufg nhWWt the derelict. At 7:15 In. on the same day—six hours lateij/the French fishing brig antine Profyrcmpls, of Redon, Hying signals of distress, was sighted. Capt. Cavin, of the Victorian, sent a boat alongside the brigantine. it was found that she had aboard the crow of the Record, which had been taken off when tlie vessel was in a sinking condition on April 2Rth. The Record had encountered a se vere northwest, gale, which lasted about, three hours. She shipped many seas, which stove in her cabin, smash ed tlie lifeboat, carried away the wheel and filled tlie cabin with water, destroying the provisions. After tlie gale abated the Record was in a helpless condition and leaking. She drifted about, for some time until sighted by the French fishing vessel, which came to her assistance and res cued the mariners. On the following day, when the Victorian was sighted, it was thought advisable by tho two masters to have tlie shipwrecked crew transferred as the Printemps had only sufficient provisions for her own crew, and would not make port for some time.

His family wlm have been with him, have also re turned to the city 7. The News wishes Mr. Arnlieiter much success in his business, and cheerfully commends hint to tho peo ple of Brunswick.
