BRUNSWICK, GA., SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 7, 1903. A SEW JAIL IS BABIY SEEDED 1 Recommendation of the Qrand Jury Strikes Pputar Chord. COMMISSIONERS MAY ACr Understood that they are in Favor of Erecting a New Building for the Criminals and May Take the Matter Up. "While we find that this building in fair condition, we cortanly think it entirely too ancient in most respects to he a creditt to Glynn county, it being unsafe to allow the worst criminals to have freedom of upper floors at any time for air, as it is very easy for them to pick through the brick walls. We think a now and modern jail to be one of the greatest needs \>f the county Tiie window frames and iron bars across the windows are very much in need of paint; also the roof needs painting. “We also find that the floor in front partial the building are some two or -Urfee feet above ground, which at times fills up with water and floods floor. We think this space should he filled in and this defect remedied.” The above, taken from (lie grand jury presentments published in tiies columns yesterday morning, caused considerable comment in the city yesterday, and the recommendation of the jury struck rather a popular chord. It is a known fact that this county is badly need of anew houee for the criminals, and, from what a News reporter learned yesterday, (lie county l com mini ss ioners are now discussing the subject and will probably discuss it at their next regular meeting. The commissioners are, of course, in favor of building a now jail, and if the funds of the county will permit, they will have it done immediately, as recommended by the grand jury.

NEW YOHK PAPE RON STORY —+— The Ex-Senator Was Led to Believe That the Mohawk Company Had a Cash Capital of SOO,OOO By L rested ar.a Others. The New York Herald in a recent issue said: “John !.. McLaurin, formerly United States senator from South Carolina, was greatly purturbed yesterday ab out a business tranaction in which ho became involved some weeks ago when he had felt assured from repre sentations made to him that lie and his associates would make fortunes rapidly. “The first result was the failure of Frank A. Urns ted to meet a $20,000 note which Mr. McLaurin had signed, and which was payable at the Mer cantile National nauk on May 21. "After making arrangements for paying the note he consulted his law yers here, termer District Attlorney Orsborne and Otto Hess, and they obtained for him on Tuesday from Judge Clark, of the supreme court, an attachment against the property of or saut to be owed by Mr. Unr ated consisting of 10,809 shares of the Brunswick & Birmingham railroad. There is some question about the ow nership of tiie stock in question and a jury will decide the question at noon on Monday. "I wish the Herald lo announce pos itively that Senator McLaurin is not ruined” said Mr. Orsborne. “ As we now stand there is a loss of $20,000 m our note hut to offset that we have collateral which we believe to be worih more. Asa mar u.r ot 1.01 an offer has already been made that is almost large enough to clear up this pari ol the deal without a loss. The senator signed two other notes for Mr. Umsted, one for $50,555 and the other for $25,000 making, in all, a total of $95,000. Besides this he put up $20,000 in casit. As two of the notes are not yet due, ofeourse, we cannot tell whether or not they will .o mol at maturity. “In the legal proceedings we insti tuted we charge that Senator Me- Laurin was persuaded to go into tlio vquire, though misrepresentation. Tito plan rtas to have a great steel plant at Brunswick, Ga. Tiie Mohawk Valley Steel and Wire company was said to have property of an enormous value. The prospectus stated that the company owned thousands upon thousands of acres of good coal land and the Brunswick & Birmingham was to lie rushed lluough in Hie interest of the steel plant.” "What was the purpose of the pa pers signed?” “To obtain limits tor getting control of tile construction company. That it was put to the purpose tliai had been is no doubt blit that the money raised intended. The only question is about the value of the steel concern, which is capitalized at sixty million. We al lege that it does not own the coal lands and that its property was con sequently misrepresented. It does not follow though that Senator McLaurin will lose anything hy the note trans action.” “Mr. Urnsted is a resident of Wor cester, Mass., hut spends most of his time here, lie lias a handsome suit of ollices at number 100 Broadway and on Ids door appears the names of these concerns: The Brunswick and Birmingham railroad, Tile Brunswick and Birmingham Construction com pany, The Mohawk Valley Steel and Wire company, the Milford Pink Gran ite company. Repeated calls at bis oflicc resulted in the reply that ho was not in." THE MOONLIGHT FLOATING TRIP To Crispen Island on the Bth., Will Be Successful.
