THF. BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUFE 2, NUMBER 242. 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.

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. cm COURT JUDGE Governor Terrell Will Name One for Bruns wick Friday.
