A SOUTH GEORGIA MAN
WILL SUCCEED LUMPKIN
THIS SECTION
SHOULD HAVE IT
Judges Barrow, Turner
and Bennet Are
Mentioned
Atlanta, July 20. —The vacancy upon
the supreme court bench created by
the death of Justice Lumpkin, will
in all probabiliay go to some south
Georgia man. ; i
Governor Terrell delines to make
any statement concerning his prob
able action, but from those close to
him comes the information that the
present indications point to tender the
place to either Horn Pope Barrow,
judge of the superior court at Savan
nah, or Hon. Henry G. Turner of
Brooks county former member of
congress, or Judge J. W. Bennet, of
Brunswick, formerly judge of the us
perior court of the Brunswick circuit.
That this vacancy will filled by a
south Georgian is regarded certain.
The reasons which prompt the govern
or in confining his consideration of
possibilities to that section of the state
are found in the present maf j up of
the court. South Georgia isnhe only
section not now represented.
Geographical Make-up of Court.
With Chief Justice Simmons from
middle Georgia, Justice Pish from
southwest Georgia, Justice Lamar from
eastern Georgia, Justice Cobb, from
north Georgia and Justice Candler
from the immediate vicinity of Atlan
ta, Governor Terrell feels that—all
other things being equal—he sholud
first consider the section which, as
things stand, has no immediate repre
sentative.
Of the eminent judges and jurists
mbf that particular section, the three
||kien who stand out most prominently
Hire Judge Barrow, Judge Turner and
Judge Bentaet. It is safe to predict
tejhat the tender will be made to one of'
■feiese three.

and to service upon the

Hon. Henry G. Turner is recognized
everywhere a* one of Georgia’s strong
est men, his public service, especially
. his long career in congress, has been
one to reflect the greatest credit
not only upon himself, nut upon his
State. His mind and his tamper,mien*
are essentiality judicial. Nothing
Could be more natural than that, in
looking for a south Georgian, Governor
Terrell should consider him among
the firrst.
Judge Bennet,, while on the super
ior ucort. bench of the Brunswick cir
cuit, made a magnifleient record. He
also represented Glynn county in the
legislature several years ago, and
he is considered one of the ablest law
yers in the state and is well qualified
for the place.
There can be no question that the
selection of either r..in would meet the
hearty approval af Die state at large.

night at the home of Captain and Mrs.
J. H. Floyd, friends of the bride and
groomi, which united in the bonds of

Beglerbeg, of this city.
Mliss Von Beglerbeg has been at
Cumberland for some time, playing in
the orchestra at the hotel, and came
up last evening to he married. As
there was parental opposition, the
wedding was rather sudden and some
what of a surprise to the friends
the young couple, and was a decidedly
ronnianctic affair.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. M. C. Austin and immediately
after the wedding, Captain and Mrs.
Fader left over the Southern on a
bridal tour.
The bride is a very sweet and lov
able girl of many accomplishments
and has many friends here. Captain

EXCELLENT MUSIC
Rendered at the Presbyterian Church
On Sunday Last.
The usually attractive services at
the Prresbyterian church were enchan
ed Sunday last by an unusually attrac
tive musical program arranged under
the directon of Mr. George H. Cook,
the talented organist. The choir was
composed of Mrs. Mary Stacy, and
Miss Lucile Butts, of the regular choir
and Messrs. Frederick B. Chandler,
bass, C. L. Candler, tenor..
The congregational singing was also
good and the sermon delivered by Rev.
W. F. Hollinsworth was upto the usual
standard of his discourrse.
A CHINESE PHONOGRAPH.
O. K. Laundry Has One Which Pleases
Chinese Citizens,
A Chinese phonograph is the latest,
and those passing by the O. K. laun
dry yesterday did not know what to
make of the queer noise which was
eminating from the place,
The phonograph is of American
make but it plays Chinese music and
some of the tunes are very catchy.
Yesterday the O. K. laundry enter
tained; aill of the Chinese citizens
with a concert and the phonograph
was at work from morning till night.
The washee-washee men seemed to
greatly enjoy the music and invited
their American friends to come in and
hear some "pretty” music.
THE CROSSTIE MOVEMENT.
The Shipment So Far This Month
Has Been Large.
he outward movement of lumber so
far this month has been large, partic
ularly in railroad crossties, which still
remain the largest feature in forward
ing.
The movement by coastwise steam
ship line to New York amounts to
1,167,938 superficial feet Foreign ej
ports have been off, only one cargo
being reported, a shipment to Cuba
of 222,000 feet.
WILL BE BIG MEETING.
Many ar* Coming H*r to Discuss
High Crosstis Rate,
It is very probable that the confer
ence to l)e held at, Brunswick on Aug.
1 wil! be largely attended, for the
crosstie interest claim they will have
to abandon the industry if some mu
tual understanding and less rate shall
not be adopted, The raillroads claim
they advanced the rate ony in order
to develop the industry and now that
it has grown to such an extent they
were losing money by hauling on such
a small freight rate basis,
It is expected that the joint confer
ence will develop some unique features
in connection with' the situaaion. In
the meantime the lumber people are
waiiting to see what the interstaae
commerce commission is going to do
about that 2 cent rate on lumber The
lumber and tie industry in the south
seems to be “up a tree.”

There is no telling at this tine who

Rumor after rumor comes from the

It is a well known fact that the
appointment was offered a well known
Brunswick attorney some days ago
but one who was not in the race.
This gentleman declined and it now

contain new dispositions regarding
conclave and tending to simplify pro
ceedings.
There were violent demonstrations
of grief among ihe poor, who were
always benefitled by the popes gener

streets. Thhe authorities immediate
ly took precaution to prevent excessive
crowding.
It is learned that Swiss guadrs, all
papal soldiers, furnished ball cart
ridges to prevent and hostile demon
strations on the part of the socialists.
These precautions were superfluous
as the Italian government is quite de
termined to safely guard the dignity of
the papal funeral and conclave.

NOTES OF THE PILOT#
Brunawick Boy* Will Now Probably
Go Away for a Few Games
The Pilots will now probably gooff
for a few games. It is thought that
the team will go over to Savannah in
the course of a week or l wo, and pla.v
a game with the Y. M. C. A. team, it
will I* remembered that when this
cluli played here, both teams captured
one game.
Many of the Brunswick fans are
quite anxious to have I het’ordele team
here again, and it is believed that our
boys could interest them. When this
aggregat ion was here before our Pilots
had just commenced the season, and
had oi.lv played Hvogames. They put
up good games, however, with tlie
professionals, and we, like many of
the fans, lielieve that they could re
turn Ihe defeat should the team come
again.
Manager Coleman is endeavoring to
gel some team here for two or three
games the latter part of Ibe week. If
possible, he will secure the C. L. A.
team of Savannah. This club now
leads the city league race, and the
games would no doubt be interesting.
Atlanta continues to gain in the
race in t lie .'southern League, and she
is now only a few points liehiinl Mem
phis for first place.
Kelly, the Savannah right fielder,
who was hurt in the game here Satur
day, is alright again, and it was
learned yesterday t hat Ids nose was
not broken, hut just disfigured a liltle.
