TALKS OF
FAIRBAIRN
—* —
Mr. Mike Brown Says
Good Man is at Head
of the B. & B.
Mike Brown, the well known cross
tie dealer, who has been in New York
for the past two weeks, and during
all of the changes of the B. Ac B,
has returned to the city.
He was seen by a representative of
the News yesterday and talks very in
terestingly on the B. & B. situation.
Mr. Brown thinks the elevation of
Mr. Fairbairn to the presidency of the
line was a good thing and speaks in
a very impressive manner of the
new B. & B. president. He says Mr.
Fairbairn is a conservative, sound and
able business man; has and controls
a large amount of money, and stands
at the top of the commercial ladder
in New York.
On the whole Mr. Brown says the
B. Ac B. is in better condition, in his
opinion, than it has yet been.

Present.
Niagara Fails, June 9. —Four hun
dred brewers, coming from all parts
of the country and representing mil
lions o f invested capital, thronged the
assert! room of Cataract hotel
today at the opening of the annual
convention of thetinited States Brew
ers’ association. President N. W.
Kendall of 'New Haven called the
gathering to order. Secretary Gallus
Thomann read the official call for the
gathering, which said in part:
“We are surrounded by a host of
implacable enemies whose malignity
and fanaticism bid fair to overrule
every requirement of justice, and con
sideration of public utilty. Our indus
try, though* a legal one, is constant
ly exposed to innumerable dangers,
and it behooves us to combine closely
for the protection of our mutual in
terests.”
The sessions of the convention are
to continue two days, during which
time there will be papers and discus
sions covering numerous matters re
lating to the brewing industry.

A Pleasant Time.
The Sunday school of the First
Methodist church held their annual
Iticnic on St. Simon yesterday. Quite
a large number went over and the day
was pleasantly spent by them all.
On a Happy Mission.
J. J. Vickers left yesterday for Dixie,
Ga., where, at 11 o’clock today, he
will be wedded to Miss Rosa Ramsey,
of that place. Mr. Vickers is well
known in this city, having been con
nected with the Lott-Lewis company
for some time. Miss Ramsey is a
charming young lady of Dixie.
Picnic Tomorrow.
The McKendree Sunday school will
have their annual picnic at St Simon
tomorrow. The crowd will go over
on the steamer Hessie and a good
time is looked forward to by all of
the children.
Always Fighting.
It seems strange that some of the
colored people will fight on picnics
and excursions. Over half which have
ieft here this summer have been wor
ried by members of the rowdy set
and it is really disgusting to the bet
ter class. Those who believe in peace
m l order should not allow the v
dies to go on their trips.

PATHETIC STORIES STILL COME
FROM THE STRICKEN DISTRICTS
MANY SICK IN
SOUTH CAROLINA
——
Hundreds of Hungry Ones
are Waiting for Stores
to Open.
Charlotte, N. C., June 9.—Three
thousand idle men, women and chil
dren, who had been employed in the
Clifton mills, and several thomau!
other persons, also without employ
ment, are gathered around the wreck
ed three Clifton mills at this place.
Several hundred people wait for the
company’s stores to open. Many are
already without the necessities of life.
They sound a note of distress that
will be general today.
Superintendents and overseers em
ployed a small percentage if the ip
eratives 'o ass'st in building fool
bridges and Icing other work neoes
saty to precede the reconstruction of
the mill property.
Mill No 1 is the least injured of the
three plants. It will be months before
it will be in operation. Mill No. 2
with its skeleton frame, is not much
more valuable than the twisted ma
chinery in the plant.
Several bodies were recovered to
day.
Mrs. Maggie Robes was found alive
on an island three miles below hero.
With her were two children, dead. All
had been swept down on the drilt
wood.
One little boy who was carried
away from mill No. 2 floated to safety
twelve miles down the river, over the
dams at Pacolet, and was drowned.
Reports today increase the death list
for mill No. 2 and 60 people are said
to he missing. Their bodies, if re
covered, are apt to be found many
miles below here
The action of the company's officers
here and at the other mills is admir
able.
Without time for preparation they
are themselves facing the most ser
ious conditions that ever confronted
the managers of any industrial enter
prises, but they are showing cheerful
fronts and endeavoring to maintain
order among the operatives.
Relief must come direct and must
furnish bread and meat to employes of
the three Clifton mills. Estimates
made today piacethe total loss at
Clifton and Pacolet at $2,500,000 or
$3,000,000, The loss to the county and
to private property owners will prob
ably increase the amount to an extra
$1,000,000.
THE COMING ENCAMPMENT.
Officers are Well Satisfied With Camp
Grounds in Augusta.
The following frvm tho Augusta
Chronicle of yesterady will be of in
terest in Brunswick military circles
as the Bruiiswck Riflemen are at
tached to the First regiment, and will
probably go to Cantp Terrell next
month:
The regimental officers of the First
and Third Georgia regiments went
over the proposed location of Ca.-r.p
Terrell yesterday morning and se
lected the exact spot to pitch the
tents, locations of mess-halls, kitchens,
regimental headquarters anil drill
ground.
As anticipated and predicted by
those who had seen the propose 1 site
of the camp, the Savannah officers
of the First regiment, who arrived
in the city early yesterday morning,
were delighted with the location, ns
convenience, to the city, its exefcllert
soil, the light and water facilities,
an the ample territory for all drilling
and maneouvering purposes. They
came expecting to be pleased and were
delighted. They went away last night
impressed with the conviction that
the governor made no mistake when
he gave Augusta the encampment ef
the First and Third regiments.
As told, Col. R. Ush.ir Thomason,
commander of the Thir i regiment,
remained in the city, anu the Firet
regiment officers arrived on the early
morning train from Savannah. The
party was composed as follows:
Col. G. A. Gordon, commander;
Lieut. Col. Wm. L. Gro-stm, surgeon
Capt. Jos. G. Jarrell; Commissary
Capt. F. W. Garden.

AGENT FOR TWO STATES.
H. Kaufman to Represent Savannah
Grocery Company.
F. F O'Connor, president and gen
eral manager of the Savannah Gro
cer company, was in the city yesterday
on busires connected with his firm.
While here Mr. O’Connor appoint
ed H. Kaufman, of this city, as
traveling representative of the compa
ny for Georgia and Florida.
The Savannah Grocery company
does a large business especially in
south Georgia and Florida, and Mr.
Kaufman’s appointment is quite an
important one. He is one of the best
drummers on the road, and the Sa
vannah firm has made no mistake in
appointing him.
Prepared for Them.
Manager Jacobi is prepared for the
teachers association and everyoone
who attends can rest assured that
they will be royally cared for. No
matter how large the crowd is the
genial manager can care for them.
Things Are Lively.
Judge Lambright’s court has had a
tush of business during the past few
days and the genial dispenser of jus
‘ice and his court officers have had
taeir hands full.
A Pretty Office.
The Glynn Ice company has one of
the prettiest offices in the city at
the plant of the factory on Grant
street where there is a polite atten
dant always on hand.
Watermelons High Yet.
The colored peojtle are not in it now
because the price of watermelons con
tinues high and it looks like it will
remain so for some time. It seems
strange that in the nearby cities a "nr
melon can he bought for about half
the price paid for it here.

Light Travel So Far.
Travel to St. Simon has been con
fined almost wholly to the local peo
ple so far but large crowds are ex
pected a little later in the month.
So far the summer has been a mild
one and this probably accounts for
the light travel. Warm weather is on
the way and it always brings the

WILL END SAFE! V
A South Carolina Paper
Talks of the Senator’s
Futura,
The Columbia Record, one of the
leading papers of South Carolina, dis
cussing the money troubles of ex-
Senator McLaurin, has Ihe following,
which will be of interest to our read
ers
“Not only will be recover his finan
cial standing back, but, in our opin
ion, he is not dead politically, as
some seem to think.
| "At present, in this state, Mr. Mc-
Laurin’s political influence is not
i great. He has made mistakes, but
he is undoubtedly a representative of
the progressive politics oi' the day.
He and those who agreed with him
i were tauntingly referred to as '•Com
mercial Democrats.” Not only was
that a taunt, but it was an insult to
a large class of honest-minded eiti
zens in that it was a broad Insinua
tion that they were in the movement
for what could lie made out of in Ihe
way of Federal offices. But the truth
is that a great majority of them
were men who believed that it was
foolish to be forever following issues
which had ceased to be matters of
practical politics; they believe in
throwing off Hie shackles of dead is
sues and striving with the rest of the
country to advance the material wel
fare of it, and more especially of
this state.
“That this movement was a failure
does not mean that the itleas repre
sented l>v it are dead, for they meant,
and mean, material progress; and
while the exigencies of politics may
have stified the movement for
awhile, it will not remain down long.
“We do not believe that Senator
McLaurin will ever again he the
leader that he aspired to be the early
part of last year, but we believe that
the principles he contended will, even
tually, be the ascendant, and when
that time comes hewill not lie an un
important factor in it.”

STRUCK BY
BIG SPOUT
—♦—
Passengers on Street Car
In Brooklyn Have
Close Cal!.
New York, June 9.—Rushing in
I font the sea, a waterspout, traveling
at great speed, struck n train of the
Brooklyn elevated road, bound city
ward front Roekaway beach.
The motorman saw the spout as the
train reached a trestle over the broad
channel of Jamaica bay. Ho threw on
full power in an effort to get past,
hut the Hood water struck between
tlic third and fourth cars.
The platforms were crowded with
persons unable to gel inside.
These were almost swept into the
hay lint managed to hold last to the
railings.
The flood rushed down the isles
and caused a wild scramble. Hun
dreds of pleasure seekers were
drenched to the skin. No one was
seriously injured, however, and, al
lhough tons of water struck the cars,
they did not leave the rails,
CROP REPORT.
Tills has been an unusually hack
ward season for ottr two staple crops.
Diie long, continued wet weather de
layed planting, and hi consequence
caused muc h despondency among some
of our farmers. But Nature as a
general rule tilings iu a compensa
tion somewhere and somehow. Thu
backward seasons will puobabiy lie
followed by such conditions that dur
ing the next two or three months, by
Intelligent, well directed la her, assist
ed by impioved modern machinery, all
disadvantages may he, overcome and
Georgia retain her high rank as a com
and cotton state.
Tint present conditions are about as
follows:
In the counties of north Georgia cot
ton planting is well advanced, and in
some of them about completed; in
sonic of the more southern counties
of the northern bolt the cotton is
coming up and doing fairly well, al
though In some places the stands arn
poor owing to continuous rains and
cool weather. In some places the
early corn lias poor stands, in others
U Is doing fairly well.
In Middle Georgia there are in many
places complaints that cotton Is lining
retarded by tain and cool nights and
want of sunshine, which is true also
of corn to some extent. At the same
time good stands of both arc reported
In many places.
Southern Georgia rciorts in sonin
counties cotton and corn both doing
well, others report cotton greatly re
tarded and much of it replanted.
Corn Is generally repoiited in good
condition, though In some localities
much damaged by bud and drill
worms. In both Middle and Southern
Georgia good reports are made con
cerning sugar cane. Invoking overt
the general field, oats are doing fairly
well, which is for the most part true ot
wheat. Both of these crops, how
ever, are in soma sections suffering
from rust..
Tho price of cotton in New York on
the 12th of May was 11*4 cents. The
November and December cotton sold
at 9 cents a pound, but now that, it is
out of the fanners’ hands, the pries
has gone up If farmers Should now
have an opportunity to dispose of thu
corning crop for future delivery at
9V4 cents, it would probably pay them
to soil at that juice; for, although t.ha
season is backward, there may yet
be a good crop, and, If a very largo
one, prices may go down.
The Middle and South Georgia su
gar cane is for the most part doing
well
Fruits.
In North Georgia peaches are report
ed as scarce; in Middle Georgia from
a slight cj-oy to 50 per cent, while
apples are stated to he plentiful in
both sections
Strawberries are of superior size
and flavor and our homo, markets ant
full of them at 10 a quart, while many
truck farms are sending thousands o!
crates to the north and west
As they are exhausted, dewberries,
blackberries and raspberries will cotno
in. Georgia, alieady renowned for
peaches and melons, Is coming to tho
.rent among the great berry states.
The fact is, all kinds of trucking
do well in Georgia and no one need
fear any danger of over production.
Docs Trucking Pay In Georgia?
Those Who have gone about this
business iu an Intelligent manner say
that It does.
Of course we do not mean to say
that every farmer should give all his
attention to trucking, because some
have grown wealthy by so doing, Geor
gia is admirably adapted to be just
what she has long been — a great corn
and cotton state, ami is rapidly be
coming a great grass and hay
State and though in soma
places truck farming is the best busi
ness tlvat a man can on eg ago in, wa
would not be understood as advising
any neglect of our two staple crops.
