At Meeting Yesterday
Resolution Was
Adopted
The board of trade shoo.- itself from
its summer legerthy yes'.o lay and
held a meeting in the forenoon to eon
aider the matter of the recent Increase
on crossties to this port, and In fact
to other Georgia ports.
This que-ion. as a matter of fact,
-is a mooted one, and is well under
stood byreaders of theave •agoGeirgia
newspapers.
For several years past the railroad
companies to this state nave recorded
a low rate to the cro ts' *e dealers
It seems, however, of late the trans
portation companies, among themsel
yes, have agred that tnis comr odity
should have no advantage over lum
ber and, effeetie July 1, the flat rate
on crosstsie® was classified identically
(with the lumber rates.
The board of trade of Brunswick
took exceptions to tbs tariff, claiming
that it would discriminate against
Brunswick as in favor of Florida ports
aid this is the question which will
be handled by the state railroad com
mission today, and which was discuss
ed at length by the board of trade
&at£Tday.
l.i order to get the mater clearly
before the board the following reso
lution Was passed and adopted:
Whereas, the mercahns of this city
engaged in the hewn crosstie business
have bee notofied by the railroads en
tering this port tha the rates of such
crossies that have been in existence
for the past ten years or more were
withdrawn on the first day of the pres
ent month and the rate of lumber
would apply on crossties on and afteh
the above date, and
Whereas, the enforcement of the
lumber rate on crossties will greatly
decrease the production of crossties
in the territory adjacent to Brunswick
and thereby decrease the shipmtw
of same through this port, and
Whereas, the crosstie business has
been of very great magnitude and
very valuable to the commerce of this
port, the •Shipment through the port
of Brunswick during the past twelve
months having exceeded two and one
half million pieces, and
Whereas, the railroad freight rates
from the interior to he ports of Flor
ida allow 35,000 pounds for a car
lead against 24,000 pounds which is
allowed in our state, thereby giving
Florida ports great advantage over
us, and
Whereas, the comparative market
value of the lumber and crossties
show lumber to be at least fifty per
cent, above that of crossties in all
our markets, and
Whereas, the said lumber rate on
crossties wiill increase the present
rates on crossties fifty per cent, and
more from very many points, there
fore,
Be it, and it is hereby resolved,
that we protest against the enforce
ment of lumber rates or freight on
crossties, and we hereby respectfully
request the railroad commission of
our state to give the matter their
/tUM-t ,carefut consideration, with a
view of harmonizing the freight rates
so as that at least crossties will not
be burdened with a greater freight
rate in comparison to their value than
lumber.
Be it further resolved, that a copy
of this resolution be furnished the
Hon. Spencer K. Atkinson, chairman
of our railroad commission.
As stated above, the railroad com
mission will lake up the subject today
and will hear argumentwtooth on the
part of the transportation companies
and of the board of trade.
Col. W. E. Kay, the well known at
torney of the Coast Cine and South
ern, will appear in behalf of these
lines, and of course will be aided by
other attorneys of the roads. The

At the meeting Qf the board of trade
yesterday morning the first step i

endorsing the bill of Mr. Carrington.
The attention of the board was call

Brantley, In the way of a communi
cation, presenting to the board a let

much stress in the fact that Bruns

some action in the premises, and the
congressman was asked to call the
atention of the board of trade to
this fact, which was done. On motion
of Major C. Downing, a resolut t-n,

BAPTISTS MEET.
Atlanta, July 9. —With a reason ot
praise and prayer, participated in by
nearly ten thousand men and wome
the thirteenth international conventle:
of the Baptist Young People Union < t
America opened today. The rally took
place in the Piedmont park audit,,:
ium, which was decorated with the
flags and banners of the various so
cieties .
The attendance was representative
of every section of the country and
the provinces of Canada, and most of
the leading divines of the denomina
tion ad laymen and lay women of na
tional reception were recognized upon
the platform and through the au
dience. The Baptists of the city were
out in force and so thoroughly had
the locyil committees performed their
tasks the preliminaries and program
movd like clockwork.
National President John 11. Chap
men, of Chicago, called the immenco
gathering to order. He emphasized
the fact that the international conven
tion is not a mere holiday excursion,
but rather designed for spiritual
quickening and to inspiration to ef
fective service for the Creator. He
anylized the object of the organiza
tion, “to secure the increased spir
ituality of Baptist young people;
their stimulation in Christian service;
their edification in scripture knowl
edge; their instruction in Baptist
doctrine and hk-tory; and their en
listment in all missionary activity
through existing denominational or
ganizations.”
Prolonged applause greeted the pre
sentation of Governor Terrell, who
offered a welcome in behalf of the
state of Georgia, and not less cor
dial were the receptions given Mayor
Howell, who spoke for the citizens
of Atlanta, and to former Governor
Northen, as representative of the Bap
tists of Georgia.
In accordance with a standing rule,
President Chapman announced his ap
pointment of committtes. Then an
hour was given up to religious thought
with brief addresses by leading Bap
tist divines,
At the afternoon session reports
of the board of managers and various
officers showed that the organization
had made great progress during the
year and that its finanoies were in
good condition.
Tonight President Chapman will de
liver his annual address and there
will be greetings from the Dominion
and memebers of all of the denomi
nation representing the various sec

Yesterday
COULDN’T GET HIT
WHEN IT WAS NEEl*cO
The Two Clubs Will Meet
This Afternoon For
Second Game
fi to 0!
Don’s that look nice, when in favor
of the Pilots?
That aggregation of ball players
from Fort Screven, Tybee island, near j
Savannah. Chatham county, this stale,
was defeated to that tune by the locals
yesterday afternoon, in a game which
was not very interesting for the fact
that the soldier boys were never in
the game, never did catch on to Wal
ker’s “zig-zags,” never played with the,
usual snap, and never did see one of
their man cross the home plate. Lots
see, one did reach third, but there
the funeral occurred.
Despite the eery inclement weather
quite a large crowd went out to wit
ness the game. Adrizzling rain inter
fered slightly during the first few in
nings, but later it cleared up aud the
afternoon turned out to be a very
pretty one.
The Pilots presented the stongost
team that has beon on the diamond
this year and only two errors were
recorded against them I ,and they were
probably caused from the wetball. Al
fred Crovatt was at short. Fred Brew
er at second and Tom O’Connor trans
ferred to center field. There is now
little room for improving the line up
of the Pilots, and the team work yes
terday demonstrated that the boys
are playing together and are putting
up a superb game.
Walker was in the box yesttrday
and he pitched his usually good game
While the soldiers succeeded In get
ting several hits they were scattered
and counted for naught, while, on the
other hand, the .hits of the Pilots
came at an opportune time and count
ed for run®. Walker established a
new record for himself in strike
outs and just thirteen of the Fort
Screvens "biffed" three times without
i finding the sphere. Not a free pass
was given. When a batter goes to
first on Walker he will certainly have
to pay his fare.
Werner ,for the visitors, also did
some good work, and succeeded In
fanning ten of the locals, while only
five hits were secured off his delivery.
The game was a very good one, only
it was not close enough to be excit
ing, but the fans are always satisfied
when the locals are leading.

Judge Parker seems determined to

In each case he lias imposed a heavy

had several to bis credit, yesterday.
Fred Brewer played a good game

have yet paid their fines ami it is
probable tlial they will both go to
