TO DISCUSS ADVANCE IN
RATES ON CROSSTIES
Board of Trade Will Take
Action at a Special
iWeeting Today.
A HARDSHIP ON
LOCAL DEALERS
Georgia Ro.ads Have Put the Rates of
Crossties on an Equal With Lum
ber—To be Heard Bofore the
Railroad Commission.
Tfoe Brunswick board of trade will
hold a special meeting in their rooms
at the city hall this morning, when
the matter of the recent increased
rates on crossties to this port will be
taken up and it will then l>e decided
whether or not the matter will be
fought out before the railroad com
mission of the state, which will pass
on the subject Friday, July 10.
This matter is familiar to the local
dealers in crosslies and lumber as
well as to tlie members of the board
of trade. I
Effective July 1, th© rate on all cross
tie shipments jto Brunswick was in
creased by the several transportation
companies entering 'here. The rate
which in tiie past has been considers
bly below that charged for lumber
has been so amended that the rate
on crossties and lumber is now iden
tical.
The board of trade and the dealers
think this increase will work a hard
ship on the crosstie industry and this
will be the subject to receive the at
tention of the board this morning. It
is understood that under the operation
of this increased tariff the rate on
ties from Wayeross, on the Atlantic
Coast Line, Offerman, on the B. & 8.,
and Suirency, on the Southern, will
be increased four cents per tie.
These points are merely g'-vtffi to
illustrate the increase as tthey are all
about sixty miles from ihe city.
* The railroads claim that lumber and
crossties are virtually the same com
modity and that there should be no
discrmination in favor of the latter as
against the former. The crosstie peo
ple argue that cro-sties are essen
tially a cheaper pioduct and should
have a correspondingly cheaper rate.
The question is a very interesting
one and one that will be closely ob
served when it finally comes before the
commission.
Cheap Ice.
Th'- attention of the public is di
rect- to tlic announcement of the
Bn' ck Ice and Cold Storage Cos.
in ■ issue. These gentlemen have
placed their very fine product on the
market at 25 cents per hundred to the
pa. ties purchasing less than a hun
dred pounds and 20 cents to the whole
salers. This is an unusually al.tractiv
price and certainly places this very
valuable luxury in the gilt of all of us.
Americans to Take Part.
London, June 6.—The annual Hen
ley regetta, tlie aquatic Derby o!
Dreat Britain, opens tomorrow and
as usual all lovers of water sports art
on the qui vive in anticipation of the
event. No college eight from tlie op
posite sale oi the water figures this
year in the regetta, but in the chal
lenge diamond scull competition both
the United States and Canada will be
represented, while the Argonaut foui
ot Toronto is entered for the Stewards
Challenge cup. Titus having been
barred at the last moment it has left
Juvenal of the v esper Boat Club, ot
Philadelphia, and sclioles of tlie Don
Bowing Club, of Toronto, to uphold
the honors ol America in the diamond
scull event. Altogether the outlook
tor this year’s regetta is considered
bl ight anu it would not be surprising
u some records were brokau.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Runaway Came Very Near Resulting
Seriously.
What canto very near being a seri
ous runaway occurred a few days ago
on E street. Mrs. W. M. Baker and
Mrs H. V. Adderly were out driving
and near Parker’s store a negro boy
on a horse came up behind them go
ing at a very rapid rate and frightened
Mrs. Baker’s horse, which ran away
but was caught by Charlie Willoughby,
of tihe Phoenix grocery store, before
any serious damage was done.
Had it not been for the young man’s
btavery and presence of mind, a dis
astrous accident might have occurred.
The case was reported to Chief Burney
and lie is endeavoring to locate the
negro whose reckless riding caused
the runaway. He gave as his excuse
the fact that he was training the ihorse
for the races Saturday.
This thing of young negroes’ reck
less riding and bicycling shoule be
stopped. They have caused several ac
cidents of this sort and will probably
cause some fatally unless it checked.

consideration of Brunswick’s people.
Air enterprise which judging from the
interest manifested by those who have
the means and have expressed a will
ingness to aid in pushing to comple
tion will have success written on its
banner. The following excerpt from
the captain of the ISiitish barkoiiliuu
Rescue speaks for itself, and should
in itself Ire sufficient to convince any
one the necessity of a large dock at
this point.
"A marine shop fc ail important fac
tor at Brunswick, but when there is
connected with it a splendid forging
and machine shop, any practical man
earn realize how much the value of
such a concern is enchanted ami these
two combined at once make it a per
fect plant.
“I wisih also to -a y that I have never
had better work done, having had
some experience in different parts of
the world. In addition to the usual
custom of scarfing keels, sails, etc.,
they use the screw holt and nut pro
cess, which Is certainly as prefenahle
as it is new to me. and although a
comparative stranger in your coo l.
pleasant little town, 1 will venture
this: that if a good marine way or
dry dock of about 25t> or 300 feet long
existing here it would draw a large
amount of tonnage wanting repairs,
making this not only a paying invest
ment hut would aid enterprise and
impoi tauce to your already grotwing
seaport.
I wish also to express my satis
faction for the business like milliner
as well as kindly sympathy with which
i have been treated by all with whom

HE HAD STRENGTH.
But Lacked Mental Power.
Food may make a body strong and
stout and yet not strengthen the
brain unless the food he rich in al
bumen and phosphate and potash, on
which the delicate cells of the brain
and nerves must he rebuilt.
Grape-Nuts is rich in these ele
ments and repairs this wasted tissue
as trial of the proves.
"In the fall of 1899 ! entered the
Indiana dental eollogo at Indianapolis
after a summer of hard work during
which time I consumed as much bread,
meats, potatoes, etc., as the average
human being will cat and although I
felt well physically I was utterly In
capable of hard rludy and on warm
afternoons during lectures I could
hardly keep awake. I could not study
at night at all and would wake in the
morning with heavy headaches.
“For a month this continued until
one day I read about the food Grape-
Nuts and that it. was what I needed.
I do not mind acknowleding also that
1 wanted a cheaper food for my re
sources were alnilost exhausted.To my
surprise everyone of the bad condi
tions resulting from the improper food
1 had boon eating disappeared en
tirely and in a few days my mind
was clear and strong with no sleepi
ness after meals, no headaches in
the morning, and felt better in every
way than I had over felt before,
"During that entire term Grape-Nuts
was my principal diet and my gener
al avetago of 96.(1 1 firmly believe is
due to Giape-Nuts. Asa brain food
