THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 2, NUMBER 245. MISTING CASE TO BE HEARD TODAY f Railroad Commission to Investigate Advance in Crosstie Rates [ 011ß BOAR OF TRADE FIL€S STRONG PROTEST l —* 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en tering this port tha the rates of such crossies that have been in existence for the past ten years or more were withdrawn on the first day of the pres ent month and the rate of lumber would apply on crossties on and afteh the above date, and Whereas, the enforcement of the lumber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 THE CARRINGTON BILL ENDORSED BY BOARD The Brunswick Commercial Body Wants State Roat Extended At the meeting Qf the board of trade yesterday morning the first step i wards securing the state road, if it is extended to the seacost, was taken and a resolution was adopted, heartily endorsing the bill of Mr. Carrington. The attention of the board was call ed to this matter by Congressman Brantley, In the way of a communi cation, presenting to the board a let ter received by him from Mr. Bell, of Decatur county. The letter laid much stress in the fact that Bruns wick’s commercial hotly should take 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.

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 , lions of the United States.

NINE GOOSE EGGS FOR SOLDIER BOYS Pilots Whitewashed the Visitors In Game 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. The official score of the game is as follows; Brunswick ab r h po a Nightengale, 3rd. ...4 1 0 3 0 1 Crovatt, A., ss. 4 110 10 Bowen, catch 4 1 0 13 3 0 Hopkins, If 4 1. 0 0 fl 0 Mallard, fr 4 1 1 1 9 0 O’Connor, cf 4 0 0 1 0 ( Brswor, 2nd 3 114 2 0 Crovatt, W„ Ist 3 0 1 5 0 1 Walker, pitch 3 0 1 0 15 0 33 6 5 27 21 2 Fort Screven ab r li pfi a e Wahon, 3rd 4 0 2 1 0 2 Crosley, ss 4 0 6 0 2 0 Blackman, Ist 4 0 1 8 0 1 Wedlier, pitch 4 0 0 2 14 0 Erwin, 2nd 4 0 2 1 0 1 Watts, if 4 0 0 1 0 1.

During the time that he has presided in this county the judge lias had several ille gal whiskey sellers before him, and In each case he lias imposed a heavy tine. He started at $2(10, $250.

Little Fellows Don’t Like the Hot Day*. ] Mothers should know exactly what I food to give babies in hot weather. : With the broiling hot days of July I and August t lie mother of a baby is always anxious for the health of her little one aud this it then particularly in feeding. Miik sours quickly nr other food is uncertain. Even in spite of caution, sickness sometimes creep in and then the right is rnnr. necessary than ever. “Our baby boy two years old began in \ugu-t to have attacks of terrible stomach and bowel trouble. The physician said his digestion was very bad and that if it had been earlier in the summer and bolter weather we would surely have lost him. "Finally we gave baby Grape-Nuts food feeding it several times the first day, and the next morning lie seemed better and brighter than he liad been for many days. There was a great change in the conditio of his bowels ami in three days they were entirely normal. He is now well and getting very strong and fleshy and we know that Grape-Nuts saved his life for lie was a very, very sick baby. Grape-Nuts food must have wonderful properties to eft'e<(f such cures as ibis. "We gfown-ups in our family ail use Grape-Nuts and also Postum in place of coffee with the result that we never, any of us, have any coffee ills but are well and strong." Name given by Postum Cos.. Battle Creek, Mich. The rea-on Grape-Nuts food relieves bowe! trouble in babies or adults is because the starch of the grain in predigested and does not tax the bowels,- nor ferment like white bread, potatoes and other forms of starchy food.

Nat Nightengale continues to lead the Pilots in stealing liases, and he had several to bis credit, yesterday. Fred Brewer played a good game yesterday. He received five put outs, one or two assists, secured a bit and even stole home on the soldier catch er. A pretty good record. Three of the Pilots established new records yesterday. Crovatt stole a baHe, Bowen succeeded in running as far as second, and Frank Mallard did not fall down. Boys arc picking up, The umpiring of domain McCullough is always satisfactory to both teams and very few coniplaients are heard against his decisions. Manager Coleman had some addit ional seats in front of tin- grand stand yesterday. Now build sonic kind of a little private place for the scorers. The second game of the series will be payed this afternoon and promises to beinterestiug. Just who will do the pitching for the two teams was not announced last night, the negroes $750 but later in (lie day reduced Searcy’s fine to SSOO. Both these negroes are from St Simon and It Is safe to say that they will not longer operate a "blind tiger" on the island Neither of (lie negroes have yet paid their fines ami it is probable tlial they will both go to the county chaingang for a term of welve months. It Is safe to predict that if Judge Parker keeps up this heavy fining Glynn county will soon tie rid of all "tiling tigers.” The next one up may tent, of the law. Going to Cumberland.
