TIG VIGILANT IS SOLD
TONEWYORK COMPANY
SALE CONFIRMED
B! THE OWNERS
—♦ —
Another Boat will Be Pur=
chased to Take Her
Place Here
Brunswick’s handsome and commo
dious tug Vigilant has been sold, the
purchasers being New York parties.
A report has been going the rounds
ini the city for some time that this tug
had been sold, but the. deal has only
been closed and the sale was car
firmed last night by Mr. E. F. Coney,
manager of the South Atlantic Tow
boat company, former owners of the
tug.
Mr. Coney and Col J. E. du Bignon,
president of the company, returned
to the city yesterday from New York,
where they have been for the past
ten days in connection with the sale
of the boat.
Wlhen seen by a News reporter last
night and asked if it was true that
the Vigilant had been sold, Mr. Coney
confirmed the story, stating that the
Brunswick tug had been sold to a
New York towboat company.
The Vigilant is probably the best
boat that has ever plied the waters
on the south' Atlantic coast. She was
built to rder for the Brunswick com
pany about eighteen months ago and
was one of the best tugs ever sent
south. She was purchased by the
local company mostly for the purpose
of putting an end to opposition on the
Brunswick bar and this the commo
dious tug succeeded in doing in a
very short time.
jfcfl-While the Vigilant is a magnificent
imj she is not very well suited for
the \fprk fr which she was used by
i (■ 11m t ya i y y - ~ 1
fj.r ortiy voyages, for* which sne wwl
.mostly used by the new company
While she was owned by the South
Atlantic Towboat company she made
a number of long tows.
In. this connection. It might he
•••stated that the local company will
✓ shortly purchase another tug, of a
"smaller capacity, to take the place of
jhe Vigilant. It is understood that
y,he company now have men in New
✓‘York* inspecting a tug of that port,
rand.'fif she is suited for the work in
jhhis port, she will lie purchased. If
Scot, the company will look around
pother ports, and if they fail to locate
■ a boat which they is best suited for
: this work T will have one built
tfi order.
In the meantime the swift and com
* modious tug Dandy, of Savannah,
Mias been chartered to and work on the
i Brunswick bar until the arrival of the
f n ew -at. The Dandy is probably
oe of the best tugs in these waters
; usd will answer the purpose of the
Bjunwick company even better than
Lthe large tug Vigilant. She will ar
(frive in port on June first, reedy for
* duty.
PUTTING UP THE ENGINE.

£ inglism railroad, an account of which

Hie work of putting it up was com
£? menced. i
This work will probably be com-1
| jftgted today and the new locomo
t tiv'fe will probably be given a te:t

gjlgipe is a beauty and is cas of the
f 'of St ever seen 'n this city.
Can’t Get a Game.
fo. The second nine is having a hard
Irtime in making a game with any out
E%t town club and it looks now like
Efaie team will have to be satisfied
Svith playing the other local clubs.

Propositions to out of town clubs but
bo far they have been unable to get

TO TRY STORY WEDNESDAY
White Murderer Will Be Arraigned
for the Third Time.
The case of the state vs. Sam Story,
charged with the murder of Hamp
Shriver, has been set for trial in the
Glynn superior court on Wednesday
of next week.
This will be the third time that
Story has faced a jury on this charge,
the other two trials the jury having
failed to reach a verdict. It seems
to bo the general impression, that the
man will ibe acquitted' this time, or
another mistrial will result. There
are but few familiar with the case
who think a verdict, of guilty will be
reached.
If the case 1 does result in a mis
trial it is hardly thought that the
man will again be tried in Glynn
county, and the case will be taken to
seme ether county in the circuit for
final disposition.
001! IN CONTROL
His Candidates Selected
Yesterday.
Harrisburg, Pa., May 27. —As com
pared with the stirring times of last
year when Senator Quay made Judge
Pennybacker the candidate for gov
ernor, the republican state conven
tion which was in session here to
day was a tame affair. The Quay
people were in absolute control and
nominated a ticket which had been
agreed to before the meeting.
The ticket is as follows:
For state treasurer, W. L. Matheus,
of Dcleware county.
For auditor general, W. P. Snyder,
of Chester county.
For judges of the superior court,
John J. Henderson, of Crawford and
Thomas A. Morrison.
Xh convent was called to order
u/lTt*t#!ock in the opera house and
wls decorated for the occasion
with flags and hunting.
There were about four hundred del
egates present and ot course the meet
ing was full of harmony.
WILL GET NO PAY.
Georgia Troops Will Be Greatly Dis
pointed,
i Atlanta, May 27.—There will he no
pay for the Georgia soldier boys dur
ing encampment this year.
Although there has never been any
compensation while in camp the mom
bers of the different companies had
reason to expect it tiiis year. Governor
Terrell received notice from the war
department today that only $25,000
would be allotted to Georgia this year,
which settled the matter.
It was first thought that Georgia had
to her credit $41,000 but the figures
have been given out .differently by
the officials .in the war department.
The amount received, $25,000, will
give all the troops in the state one
week in camp, but it will not pay
them per diem. It is now a question—
will the troops be willing to serve
without compensation?
It is understood that next year a
larger amount will be given this state
which will enable pay to be given all
flie troops.
DOCTOR ON FOOD.
Experimented on Himself.
A physician of Galion, 0., says:
“For the last few years I have been
a sufferer from indigestion and al
though 1 have used various remedies
and prepared foods with some bene
fit was not until I tried Grape-
Nuts- that 1 was completely cured.
“As the food is pleasant aud agree
able, very nutritious and is digested
and assimilated with very little effort
in the part of the digestive organs,
is nerve food and restorer it has
jo equal and as such is especially
adapted to students and other brain
worker. It contains the elements
necessary for the building of nerve
tissue and by so doing maintains an
equilibrium of waste and repair.
“It also enriches the blood by giv
ing an increased number of rod blood
corpuscles and in this way strengthens
all the organs, providing a vital fluid
made more nearly perfect . I take
great pleasure in recommending its
use to my patients for I value it as
food and know it will benefit all who
use it.” Name given by Postum

HE^EPUES.
A,n*therr Answer to Rev.
Rede’s Article.
Editor of the News:
Believeing you to he perfectly im
partial I ask you to insert the follow
ing as a rebuke to the article in your
Sunday issue written by Bev. Wyllys
Rede.
In this article Dr. Rede treats the
Polish Jew in an in just manner, in
fact he does them the greatest injus
tice that can he heaped upon a perse
cuted people and the word persecu
ted is not a has been, but is practiced
upon them r.ow and sympathy is need
ed from all directions.
I have no doubt but that Dr. Rede
Is an enlightened man or ho would
not occupy the pulpit of such a no
ble and enlightened congregation as
he does.
But >h© certainly needs enlightment
in regard to the Polish Jew. The Pol
ish Jew is not ignorant but on the
other hand you will not. find one in
a hundred who does not know how
to read and write. In their eyes it
is just as much: a sin to be unable
•to read their prayers as if is to
steal.
And es to criminal I will say that
the Polish Jew certainly takes the
lead among the lowest number and
to this I am positive that even the
records of bar barons Russia will ad
mit V
As to the dangers; of this country
being overflowed by them I will say
that Dr. Redd hould have inquired
into the subject a little more before
condemning them. Take New York,
for instance. This city today has
the largest Jewish population in the
world. In the part of that city known
as the East Side there are several
hundred thousands of Polish Jews
cramped together where they could
form a great power at a moments no
tice.
Ask the authorities of New York
and they will tell you that this par
ticular spot i- the most orderly, the
most sober, the most economical, and
above all, the most charitable body
of people ever collected in any one
spot ot the whole earth.
What danger awaits this country on

REMOVE ON
NOV. FIRST
—v—
Brunswick’s Public Build
ing will be Ready
By Then
Unless something unforeseen occurs
to delay the work now ini progress
at the public building, that handsome
tructure will be completed the latter
part of October ad the government
offices of the lie comfortably
quartered in it byvAovember first.
The work on the building is now
going along at a rapid rate, and the
contractors in charge will have it
complea.ted by thie above named time.
The postofflee, custom house, internal
revenue department and marine hos
pital service will all remove into the
building by November.
The first floor will be occupied almost
entirely by Postmaster Brown and his
force, one room being reserved on
this floor for the marine hospital ser
vice.
On the second floor Collector of
Customs Dunn and his force will be
situated and also the internal revenue
collector.
The department is now advertising
for bids for furnishing the building;
the contract for the electrical work
has already been awarded, and there
is now but little left to be done on
the building outside of what the
cotractors have to do to complete
it.
As soon as this is dong and the
street and surrounings are cleared
away, a sidewalk laid and other im
provements made around the struc
ture, it will be the handsomest build
ing in the city, if not this section of
the state. 1 •
